I have hearing same BS for years now, and although BTC is a digital currency it will never be the method of any tyrannical rule because its basis against oppression. Now considering this year I am hopeful for rise in price possible bull runs in the mid and late years but I dont see any "elite class" take over or any of those pipe dreams of yours, so stop smoking any of that cheap weed in case you have been doing it.

While one must always strive to accumulate BTC whenever they have cash at hand and the price hits a low, it should never be the "cultish" thing of the century, because that is illogical and leads to mistakes.

Keep them ignorant, why bother? After all it is your advantage anyway because you will keep accumulating bitcoin as it's price keeps increasing and then you can dump on these no-coiners with sky high prices, profits for you 😈

You can go and start educating people who are showing interest in Bitcoin, but the difference will not be huge for now other that you bring called a tinfoil hat person.

 If they lose money from some stupid MLM, chances are that they will blame you - are you ready to take that?

These type of things immediately draw red flags and drastically reduce the credibility of a project, let's not discuss how much the project in discussion has any left.

When it comes to trading the only prediction that is trustworthy is yours. Anybody saying anything can be false and let that not cloud your thoughts.

Shills are everywhere in this sector you have to learn how to avoid them. These people are easy to avoid because they make too much unnecessary noise.

Some expenses cannot be predicted but an average amount can be calculated if you sit down and start recalling the day over a month. Usually we tend to spend more than we can afford this should be limited and you should be budgeting fine. Spend as per your need and sell those which you dont need any more. Groceries and bills will take the maximum of them all but the internet bills can be cut down if you are willing to sacrifice your series watching demands which itself brings in more sedentary lifestyle, bad for you.

Impulsive spending is common among some people and these people need treatment of some underlying mental health issue which they brush aside on their own.

Just keep holding those shitcoins. You might never actually see any bullruns on them in the next 20years but there is always hope for betterment. Use this as a lesson to never invest in altcoins again and only focus on bitcoin. You never know which shitcoins owners have gone bankrupt or have sold their project to someone else.

Altcoins will usually follow the trend of bitcoin. So a good market is to keep track of bitcoin's next bullrun you will see the altcoins rising again. But the chances that every altcoin you hold will become back to a break even price is low.

Can only buy pizza? I would rather keep those pizza things out because it puts in a wrong emotional flavor to trading, something we should avoid. The best times to buy like I said, at the lows. But newbies make the mistake of buying at the top, one of the reasons for this is when prices rise the common instinct is to follow the herd and thus the mistake, same goes with drops, because everyone is bearish, people sell at the low and end up in a net loss.

This can only be corrected if you watch the market with dummy trading over years.

Your inner voice of selling at a loss will calm down once you experience more with the bitcoin price swings, then only you will realize with your own eyes that the long term value of bitcoin is huge and that buying at a low will always be profitable.

Try to read more about how bitcoin works and how its market performance has been since a few years. I have been watching since 2016 when price was ~700USD only and look at today's price as comparison to that.

Do sell at the high and then buy back at the low. That should put in some positive energy back in you and it is the way to multiply your total capital.

Investments are done with the objective of making money in the long run against a risk. Trading is one such method, but it requires skills and sometimes luck. Investing in a bank which can be done physically or online, is a more safer but less rewarding procedure. Your goal should be to determine how much risk you can handle, if you want to play it safe, you should keep yourself limited to fixed deposits, bonds and real estate.

If you are willing to take higher risk, you can go with trading. I am sure you can enlighten yourself about your options from the internet. But keep in mind that money does not come for free, it requires patience and a bit of luck. Someone claiming to make thousands without doing anything is obviously only showing off, not legit.

More the supply, less is the trust that it gets from userbase. Take bitcoin for an example, with a limited supply, it is going to get scarce over time and thus its demand rises automatically, you dont need to pump the price or make some manipulation everyday to raise its price.

In general with a large supply you never know which investor might actually drop their bag and run causing the market price to crash. With advisors knowing that these projects will never do well in the long run, often resort to such practices, the investors who might be genuinely interested in it, also lose their cool and get frustrated.

Market is stable over long time periods. The yearly swing is less than 15% but on short time periods it might seen to be more volatile. Like now the price is back to 27k which is a correction happening after the bullish swing. These ups and downs are how the market keeps itself active and it is upto you how you want to capitalize on it. You might want to play it safe and wait for the price to go back to 25k before buying again or you can buy a smaller fraction now and wait for more drops when you can buy again or sell  if the price rises.

It is tough to execute, I agree but traders need to get the hang of it over time. Again not everyone will manage to profit from this.

No. Strategies will never change from the old buy low sell high game. In Spot at least, that is the most effective. Rest of the modes of trading are all gambling, not trading. This is not a college study group where reading more gives you more knowledge or sharing notes.

Disadvantage indeed. You will have the habit of checking that group everyday and pondering over it. Instead of wasting your time on that you should focus on family and friends to keep your mind fresh after trading.

100% of the content in these groups is bullshit and useless, so focus on your one man army of traders and also give time to things that you love to wind down.

You can, if you country's legal system allows bitcoin to be transacted without any restrictions. Most countries have been working around it to avoid facing this statement altogether but few are making CBDC's too. At some point you have to keep liquid cash at hand and in banks, the transactions systems are not that developed to include bitcoin as of now.

Doing face to face deals is risky and should be done in a public place with your own people around you in case the deal goes south. 

Essentially yes, if you know how to handle your wallet and its nuances.

Sorry to hear of the OP's situation. Fees have increased in many schools but the only way to solve the problem is to avoid going to school or earn more to afford that new fee. Hence it boils down what salary OP gets essentially what job they are in.

Now not every job is pandemic resistant and people have been facing hardships during these years and will continue the next few years. While side jobs and all can be approached the main thing is to pull through the hard times. We can't create money out of thin air but we can reduce unwanted spending and limit our spending.

Let's hope the situation gets better in future but inflation will not go away easily so we have to keep fighting through it.

All those are big terms my friend. But in reality what we need to start off is a good userbase using Bitcoin regularly. That will bring the impetus to stores accepting crypto and gradually merchants will be forced to accept it as a method of online payment. There are people who are using gift cards to keep up the flow of money but these things need more streamlining.

We are never going to see these changes over night. But we must attempt to make out near ones educated about Bitcoin.

The depegging really did not affect the prices as we had predicted. In fact the price went up and are having a bullish turn from then on. We don't know why this happened but we are not complaining about it.

People are probably waiting to buy or selling to cover losses. At this point new users should wait it out. My experience is that changes in direction should be anticipated and preparations made for the same.

Back in 2015, some friends I knew got into bitcoin without my advice and they got washed out by HYIPs and MLM scams. They moved away from bitcoin and only during the recent pumps in price did they come back to check on it.

I try to make people aware about Bitcoin and how it works, how it is easy to send to someone without restrictions. But there is a lot of first hand resistance because it is covered with a lot of negative news and these will take time to clear.

Becoming a topic of discussion at the dinner table is an achievement for crypto. 

Games that are having an EV negative will always have a long term loss profil, because of the house edge and because players never stop after a net win/profit.

If you think a casino is cheating you, verify its provably fair algorithm yourself. If you are confused how to do this, do some searching on YouTube.

In either case, the reputed long time running casios would not cheat you because have many forum users here who are well accustomed with this system and actively seek out casinos and their algos for bugs and possibl exploits.

Keeping a mindset to accept losses is what is asked by this statement. If loss acceptance is not possible then they should not invest. The ability to predict on spot markets improve with time and experience so how much to invest will vary as experience increases. Even then there should be a limit to how much one does put at stake.

Gambling with the money should be strictly avoided. The stuff like margin and leverage, futures are all different types of gambling. That is where people lose money the most.

Be active more often, if you have a smartphone or a tablet at work, you can log in and post once a few hours and thus be active throughout the day. But you have to keep the effort from your side.

If your job is a demanding one, it should be given more focus, but I am sure that you job would have to deal with problems in real life which need solving rather than the forum where no one would be hurt even if you become inactive.

The forum will be here for a while but there is no guarantee that campaigns will be on forever. But you job is there for now which is giving a daily income. With a little effort form your side you should be able to manage both without distress.

You need to motivate yourself, no one will come and babysit you. Analyze your work pattern and see when you can take time out to post in the forum. Be active on the forum and you will grow your rank gradually.

There is not binding for how much one can afford to lose.

For money that is obtained by blood and sweat, the earner knows the importance of not wasting it and this is why when we were kids, our parents taught us about money and savings and not the other way round.

For money that is earned by theft and deception, the attachment to that is low and the earner would most likely be wasteful about it.

The second option will always have more money that they can afford to lose compared to the first one. But the main idea is not to spend amounts that if you lose you would regret or fall in trouble.
