I can't say that Manchester City will win their third match in the champions league, as they have started very poor and I haven't seen any improvement from them. I don't have any hope that Manchester United will be able to go far this season in any competition that they play because the team is still having problem with their defense and when you don't have a good defense, that team is doom.

If it possible for them to win their third match, it might still not change anything because if peradventure they win, they might not be able to win the knockout stage only if it will be a miracle but I don't see it happening because the chances are very slim. Manchester United needs to be in a good form before their performance can be consistent

From what I observed in bitcoin and the people that I know are into bitcoin, are investing in bitcoin to make profit, because most of them believe that bitcoin investment is something that will change their lives after they sell in the bull run. Profit is the first thing in their mind, this is why you see that even the ones that don't know about trading will want to trade. They go extra miles to learn trading by all means so that they can make profit from the fluctuation of the price.

Secondly, is depreciation of Naira, though I have seen people who prefer to keep dollar than bitcoin because they don't have trust for bitcoin yet and all the time, they exchange their dollar to Naira when they want to spend. Unemployment has made Nigerian youths to be ready to do something that will make them be dependent on themselves to safeguard their future, and most of these youths who has the knowledge of bitcoin are buying and hodling with the little money that have to invest for the future.

The small score is okay, the most important thing is that Real Sociedad gets all three points in the game. Real Sociedad has the upper hand of winning Mallorca because they are stronger than Mallorca and they will also the playing at home, which is an additional advantage for them.

Mallorca might try their best from stopping Real Sociedad from gaining all three point by drawing the match, and this is if Real Sociedad underestimate Mallorca, it might even become a win for Mallorca. I don't think is will be that easy for Mallorca to win but it is possible for a draw. I will place my bet on Real Sociedad because they are the strongest in this match.

You are not getting what JJG said, let me explain to you from what I understand about the strategy that JJG said is similar to DCA. You must not wait for the dip, by sitting down and relaxing. What is said is that since you have set an amount for weekly regular DCA which is $100. You will always buy every week with $100, but if it happens that you are expecting a dip during the week, you can relax and keep on observing the market to see if the dip will come.

Just like JJG said that, if you make an order to DCA $100 weekly, and bitcoin price is at $28500, you can wait till the last day of the week before buying. So that if bitcoin price did not dip below $28500 on the last day, you can simple use all your $100 to buy for that week and expect the dip the next week. OR because you feel that the dip will come but still not around,you can limit the $100 DCA to $50 and buy bitcoin on the last day of the week so that you can carry over the balance of $50 to the next week, when the dip might come so that you can now add the $50 left to the new week DCA budget to make it $150.

This shows that if the dip comes during the next week, you will buy more bitcoin with $150 than when you would have bought with only $100. On the other hand, because you are using this pattern to accumulate, when the dip comes because you know that, your DCA weekly funds is $100, during the dip, you can take advantage of the market and use like $500 to buy at once. Note that the $500 that you used to buy is not for just five weeks budget, but you are buying with $100 from the week budget which you are on, let me say today for instance is my buying day and I have assigned $100 for this week. I will now take $50 each from 8 weeks ahead which becomes $400 +$100 for this week.

I am to DCA with $500 this week because bitcoin price is at dip, and when the price increases again, I can now continue to DCA with the remaining $50 left from the 8 weeks which I took from, for another 8 weeks. It is still like DCA because, you are buying every week but with different amount sometimes, due to planing for the dip and to take advantage of the dip.

JJG, I love this strategy but I have never taught of it, the only time that I thought of something like this, was when bitcoin price was 25k+, that I met my boss to me 20% of my salary for three months in advance to enable me buy at that price 25k+, which he did. I am now using half of the money that I am suppose to use for weekly DCA to accumulate now because, I need to keep on accumulating and I have used some part of my DCA funds to buy then when the price was 25k+. This strategy wouldn't be good for beginners who just started because it might be hard to practice, compare to the regular DCA pattern that a specific amount is used always disregard of bitcoin price.

OP, you should be specific with the kind of marketers that you are referring to, because if it is this petty traders that the total goods in their shop is around 5k-15k, I don't think that it will be wise for them to accept bitcoin because of the stress that they will pass through using it to refill their goods.

This is because most of them buy their stuffs from the bush and also from illetrate like them that only believes in fiat. So such marketers will still be collecting fiat, even though bitcoin is legalized. Imagine that you want to buy Maggi or pepper or something of 500 naira and you want to use bitcoin, it is very funny.

On the other hand if you are talking about big traders that has goods from 30k up, which are not petty traders, they will accept bitcoin with time,when they see that bitcoin is gaining ground in the country and people are saying all sorts of benefits in using bitcoin.

Especially those marketers that deal on foreign goods, they will gladly embrace bitcoin because it has save them the stress of using a third party for payment and they can send bitcoin at their own convenience. So it all depends on the kind of marketers that we are talking about.

I know how disappointing it can be when one see the poor performance that Roma started with this season. At least they have won three consecutive games now and it has brought hope back to the club. Who knows if they have come back to start winning games like last season.

Roma will go far in Europa Cup if they can work on their performance to make them active in scoring and winning games. Mourinho is some how depreciating in his coaching skills from the look of things and I don't know if the failure is from the players or from him. Let's hope to see good results from Roma in their next matches.

Manchester City is still the best in England and I don't that because they were unable to win their last two matches will make it difficult for them to win Brighton. Brighton might be very strong this season but not when they will be facing the defending champion of the league. Manchester City will humble them in that match.

Brighton has surprised people this season with their superb performance and I know that they will also display such performance against Manchester City. If Manchester City relent in pressuring Brighton and take advantage of the game, it is possible that Brighton might become difficult for Manchester City to win.

I disagree with you on this oprichuckwu that the knowledge you are gaining is an investment. Investment means when you put money (capital) with the hope to get profit OR you put in money so that the money can increase over time. There is no way you can go to the supermarket and say that because you understand accounting, that you will be given whatever that you want for free. Without money one cannot invest.

Bitcoin is an investment that you don't need too much before you can invest into it. You can even start with as low as $5 to invest, and what I know is that you don't need to know so much about bitcoin before investing. There are such knowledge that are better learnt through experience and not theory, because nobody will teach you how to control your emotions on bitcoin price movement.  If you believe in bitcoin and you have the basic knowledge of bitcoin, then I don't see what will deprive you from investing with very small amount in what you believe that has the possibility giving you a retirement funds in future.

It is people that don't have the insight of  what Bitcoin will be in future that wouldn't take the advantage to start investing in bitcoin early and they are waiting till they have so much on them before they can buy bitcoin or till when they have understand everything about bitcoin before investing. It is better to invest right away and learn the rest aspect of bitcoin during your accumulating period. DCA strategy is well known as the most efficient method one can use to increase his bitcoin bit by bit.

When you only know the theorical aspect alone, you wouldn't see the challenges and risk in bitcoin investment as a hodler. It is just like someone that says he can drive a car because he knows the theory but hasn't put it into practice, and says he is a good driver. There are some knowledge that a newbie who bought bitcoin will have, and someone that has all the theory knowledge will never have

I don't see trading as a means to get wealthy because traders are only after peanut that they will make within a short period of time and that wouldn't add any much increase to their bitcoin portfolio. I haven't seen a wealthy man who became rich overnight. A wealthy man will take out time to nurse, monitor and grow his investment for a long time before he will become wealthy because he knows that it is too early to take profit.

So I don't see how trading can help one increase his bitcoin portfolio in the long run than someone who is using only DCA strategy to increase his bitcoin investment portfolio. Well it is one choice to do whatever he likes with his bitcoin but it will be not be a wise decision to advise anyone to increase his bitcoin portfolio through trading. You should also note that a trader is not an investor, because he believes in quick profit and this an unhealthy strategy towards investing.

A professional trader can run at big loss in just one trade, but a newbie, who is into bitcoin investment that understand how to buy bitcoin and hodli with his regular DCA will never run at loss, if he intends to hodli for 4-10yrs timeline.

Staying away from his friends, wouldn't increase the money, if he doesn't invest it, the money will still finish and when it finishes will he still be able to see those his abandoned friends as people that he can mingle with again..No.

Sometimes I wonder why some people allow money to control their thinking. Who knows if tomorrow one of those his friends will win a bigger amount of money than what he won, and would also treat him the way he treated them. I don't see any reason why we are to stay far from our friends when we are somebody but embrace them when we are nobody.

OP, all games can give you big wins, if that day is your lucky day and it also depends on the how that you are using on your bet. Gambling is based more of luck and that is why I feel that we are different and at the same time we have our interest on different games. The game that you love playing, might not be the one I love and that doesn't mean that you wouldn't have a big win and yours and same with me.

Most of us time win little amount of money is because of the amount that we use on betting, ,if you use a big amount, you will win big. I love sportbet and I have seen a lot of people who have won big in sportbet and also other games that you mentioned. Although the possibility of winning big on games that mostly depend on luck like slots is lesser compared to skill games.

Bitcoin traders will end up making less or no profit, or run at loss. This is the reason why hodli is better than trading and while you are hodli, you should continue to increase your bitcoin portfolio using DCA strategy. Out od $2000, using $1200 for regular DCA is too much and it is a very aggressive way of DCA. It is better that you use an amount that wouldn't be a problem got you to use regularly, because if you DCA funds is bigger than your emergency funds and your basic needs funds, you might end up selling your bitcoin at the time that is not of your will due to some challenges that comes your way that must be taken care of. This will make you lose focus on accumulating more bitcoin to your portfolio and increasing your portfolio. This is why you need to set out plans on how much and how long you will need to DCA regularly that wouldn't affect you in the long run. Although our responsibilities are differ, and likewide out income but i think that your amount for DCA might end up landing you in some troubles along the line.

I don't think that there is any investor, who plan on holding for a very long maybe maybe from 4-10 years and above that will go ahead to take decisions that he knows will get him into trouble and will addect hos plan to continue with his bitcoin accumulation through DCAing, because he has a target and believes to increase his bitcoin portfolio. It is only traders that can take such decisions because they love gambling with their bitcoin to see if they can outsmart the market and they end up in regretting their actions, because they wanted to play smart.

I don't think that I understood what you are saying, but one thing that I know is that someone using DCA to accumulate to increase his bitcoin portfolio will don't need to bother himself on short-term speculations approach but to continue with his DCAing strategy, to avoid distractions. The fact is that DCA is the only way out for people like us with low income and believe in bitcoin that it will safeguard our funds in 10yrs time.

Congratulations on your 100 days in this forum, which I know that you must have been recognized by a lot of members here due to your activeness in the forum, and you have also created room to hear people's experience in the forum from your various thread, just like these topics that you posted above.

The forum must be very happy to have such scholars like you in our midst, to add more value to the forum in your own way. I believe that someday, I will also celebrate my 100 days in the forum but I don't know how long it will take me.
Keep it up.

Nobody can predict what the price of bitcoin will be by December, it maybe higher than this or lower. I don't know why you said if the price of bitcoin remains between 25k-27k range that Christmas wouldn't be fun. By now we should all know that it is after the halving that we can see a good price from bitcoin, and that is why every investors shouldn't rely on short term investment because the price of bitcoin can disappoint you.

Moreover, we are to have cash reserve for our needs so that we don't end up selling our bitcoin when it is not at your will. I don't actually pay attention on the price of bitcoin because I am still hodling and accumulating till the next bull run. Na just the hardship for the country go worry the poor people. It is not even wise to sell your bitcoin during December, if the price reaches 30k because bitcoin price will reach 3x this price during the bull run.

So whichever means that you can survive with is what you should do because if you can survive without selling your coins because the price is low, you can also use that same means to survive when the price reaches 30k, because there is a better profit upfront.

Drake is a gambler that gambles with huge amount of money and not only on fights but he also gamble on stake with big funds. To him that is peanut compared to what he has, because he has an investment that pays him. So there is no need for us to worry about someone who has taken gambling as a means of spending his funds.

As for me, that is a huge amount of money down here in my country and I wouldn't work anymore for rest of my life because of the country that I am from, and that will be enough for me till when I will go and see my ancestors. This is the same with some of us but check out that Nigga, just gambled with it as if it is nothing. It is nothing to him but something very big to the public.

Those that take gambling as a means of income will not even notice that they are looking tattered because, they are carried away by their emotions and they are always chasing their loss because they think that, it is through gambling that they will make it in life.

This is the mistake that people who are starting gambling for the first time put in their mind, to make profit and they would not know that they are walking on the road to addiction. Gambling is a means of entertainment and when you see it from this point of view, you will hardly come up with decisions and actions that can make you become and addict, because you will gamble responsible and enjoy the fun in gambling.

Na all these kind scammers dey make newbies or their victims think say bitcoin na scam because, na scammers na e first tell them about cryptocurrency. This na e make we no need to involve ourselves on anybody wey dey introduce any online business say he dey give high return between a short period of time. Anything wey make you see such people, you need to think twice and know say if na true say something dey like that why this person in question never use am make money wey be say na you, he come dey introduce am to.

I meet one guy like that for my area wey been won scam me, wetin he do na to introduce me to the platform say I learn so many things and I go write exam, if I pass them go five me job wey the company go pay me in cryptocurrency. When I look the guy, for my presence he call another person dey tell am to send am recharge card to use subscribe and say the person no pay finish na e make, the person name no come out. Na there I just know say this one na scam and na because I tell am say I dey into crypto na e make am begin talk all those story.

If na p2p trade you won trade, make you no release your coins until you don check your bank account and you see say the money don enter

This is what happens when one is addicted to gambling, you will want to gamble all the time because you are being controlled by your emotion to chase your losses, irrespective of where you are, either at work or wherever. This is a serious case because your attention will be diverted from carrying out your job effectively.

I have not experience such but I have a colleague who is a core gambler and when he comes to work, you will see him not settled and every time he comes to work, he is always complaining of one problem or the other to enable him get funds from people at our work place so that he can sneak to gamble with the money. The worst thing is that he keeps on borrowing money from almost everybody in the office and before you know it, he has accumulated debts that is more than his salary.

During payday, he ends up going home with nothing because everybody that borrowed him money will line up to get their funds back from him. I do pity for him, sometimes the moment payment is done he collects part of his salary in advance just to meet up with his gambling activities. His gambling activities started frustrating him to the extend that he can no longer pay people that he borrows money for,this made our Boss to take him for counseling.

There was a time that office funds kept in his custody was used to gamble and this almost led to his sack. I am happy that he has overcome his addiction now and he gambles responsible.

If SBF girlfriend is not lying to save her head and for people not to see her as a bad actor, then I think that SBF made the wrong decision and that has led to the crash of FTX because he can never keep bitcoin price below 20k.

Exchanges are out for profit and it will be impossible for this to happen since he doesn't doesn't have enough bitcoin that he can sell below 20k to manipulate the price, and he is not the owner of all the bitcoin in his exchange. I still see SBF as a small boy who doesn't know how bitcoin price moves and that is why he came up with this childish idea, which has kept him  in this shit because of mismanagement of customers funds.
