You have good points there and this is more reason why I suspect that many old coins/tokens would not be able to perform as they did in the last bull run, which is against the expectations of many people. It is only an insensitive person who would not know that the crypto market is being flooded with new cryptocurrencies these days, both good and bad, some are even there to steal people's money. And as many as they are now, I think they are in their thousands, they need patronage which is often through people's money.

This is what will boost their market capitalization, but when there are too many of them, that whole money would now spread on them randomly, which will not make many expected cryptos rise as the money that was supposed to be placed on them as though there was not much of them will actually be invested in many depending on the speculation of people on their prefered cryptos. This will not affect altcoins alone but also Bitcoin, people's money will be effectively distributed on all of them. For this, some crypto will not perform as expected while others will perform more than expected. You can prove me wrong with the actual event in the next 1.5 years.

I must say that I love your sincerity, had it been that it was other people, they would have wanted to hide under the pretence but you showed your intention straight away, and you might have been smart through this. Still, in this age where the internet is this open, do you think that it is fair for anyone to be selling cryptocurrency books? That is my own plight though but otherwise may have their won.

I believe that if it is about any information regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it is only a lazy searcher who won't find what he is looking for free, aside from the subscription money which is "nothing to write home about."

You are still not thorough about this question in my opinion and I believe that this is not a big project, so it will be difficult for you to open a campaign for it which is most acceptable on the forum. Nonetheless, you can still find a way around it if you are clever enough. First, note that direct codes for personal gains might not be allowed on the forum even though some are still cleverly doing it and people look away.

You might first want to state what your crypto project is all about before I or other people can be able to put you through on the most clever way you can do it and that will not break the rules of the forum.

I wonder why difficulty is the most used language on this forum when it comes to the prediction of Bitcoin monthly. This is highly unprofessional to me and it shows that many people here are not just finding their feet toward learning to know how best they will be predicting what Bitcoin can do doing monthly and even yearly. Nothing is difficult here and at least I expect people to be constructive and show some conditions for what can cause a bullish path or a bearish path rather than emphatically believing it will be difficult. Bitcoin is presently bullish in the long-term trend and it has ended a correction with the way I saw it. It however has a bullish price action on the weekly chart for now, which means that a bullish trend on both the long-term and short-term are aligning, which might be positive for this month.

Nonetheless, there is a pressing issue on the daily chart, with the Fibonacci resistance level of $43,606. The market hit it this week and has not been able to breach it higher ever since then, This is the only important barrier I see now, and if Bitcoin breaches it successfully higher, I am sure that it might have some huge bullish achievements this month which might resume some bullish trend that will first hit the ATH of 2024 at above $49,000 before going higher for the psychological level of $50,000. After this, a mini correction might happen again, but certainly will not be lower than $43,606 in its worst case.

Bro, what are you saying? I do not think you are on this planet with us at all. What I see on my trading chart is so different from what you speculated, not to talk of the expected FOMO in the market because of the expectation of halving. This is real and will happen again, and my trading chart on the larger timeframe is testimony to this, it is aligning, so I am positive about what will happen in the Bitcoin market. Or do you mean the halving will cause Bitcoin to fall? I guess you are just mistaken about the whole picture. The market chart apart, maybe you do not know the past records, they are clear, you can check it on your chart as well, what it has caused in the part is all positive for Bitcoin. I mean so much positivity that people are always surprised.

So how are you sure that it will be the opposite now? Also, looking at the time you made this post, the market was bearish in trend which I believe must have conceived what you meant here, but it does have to be. What you see now in the market may not be what you see the next day, which is why we should always be more proactive in trading with speculations and seek more knowledge if need be instead of living only in the moment when the next day's market disposition could be different.

The reason for this is that we do not have the same personalities, we can handle situations, investments, emotions and others better than each other as human beings. However, those who are short of the good qualities in this regard could still strive to do better instead of relaxing by training themselves since there is nothing that training can't achieve if we give our best and have a positive mindset that we can do it. Talking about this subject matter, that is one of the reasons why I tell people that learning to gain the experience of what to do and how to do it is not enough but we must have the needed psychological qualities as well. Many know the way but are not just qualified for the mental part which is also a setback for them.

Also, many factors can be responsible, and one of them is the lack of adequate resources to back our plan up, and the investment of the money that is too dear to us, and that we can't afford to lose. If all these could be eliminated, I think that it would go a long way in increasing our power to wait for a positive investment (patience). I wonder how the person who needs to pay his children's school fees can hold the money in investment packages conveniently and patiently, that money is too precious to lose and pressing to spend. This could hurt also if the initially gained profit was removed due to unfavourable market conditions. Therefore, bad investment decisions can come through this situation. Not even with DCA approaches as pressing money will always cause emotion. But your plan on the DCA is good, it doesn't matter, it could be systematically invested with only a small portion committed frequently, and that person could take this time to get the money securely over time instead of burdening himself at once.

I also saw so many hypes about Jupiter but we have to be careful these days, the cryptocurrency market is not as new as before, and most of how we read hypes will not automatically help the coins and tokens in question. We have to be encouraged only by the listing and how it performs in the market afterwards. Like JUP, it has not had any significant movements yet, I mean after Binance listed it and I will continue to monitor it and the likes of them too. They could have a future benefit that could be deceiving now too, so waiting and continuing to watch them is key as far as I'm concerned.

But if projects are being hyped too much without much effect when they are eventually listed, two things could happen later. It is either they move significantly later when the general bull run comes into play, or they still move considerably well but not much. Now, for them not to move at all? I do not think so. Also, much focus is on the new projects these days, they are possibly the ones that will move the most in the next bull run, especially those with a very good project and community like this one. Let's see how it goes, yet, don't forget that the daily and weekly study on it could be a way out here. It has helped me because some might be falling shortly after listing just like this JUP is behaving now. But it could move x2 or x3 upwards when it stabilizes, this is even if other coins and tokens are in the bearish trend.

I don't even think that it is as difficult as this, or should I say as important as this, you do not need one important skill for it, you should tell anyone what you need to tell them about Bitcoin as you want to naturally tell the person without any fear or some kind of feeling that is not of usual. We all know that Bitcoin speaks for itself, so if anyone wants to doubt you, the person can go elsewhere to confirm. Like me, if anyone introduced something to me today, I will give it about a week to investigate and search about it to establish the truth, and this has not failed me. So if the person they introduced Bitcoin to is also wise, I belieev such will investigate that to establish the truth about it.

And I know that such will always thank the person who introduced him to Bitcoin later as the coin will most likely not fail the person. Also, if the person doesn't yield, fine, that's his own cup of tea, but one thing I know is that he will surely regret it when he sees me later in the near future smiling at my bank account and online wallets.

Who cares! So it is better to be natural.

And you think what @teamsherry said is cost-effective? I don't think so. Making payment transactions online does not have to be that burdensome if the Bitcoin system has been best planned from the beginning. I know that the founder will never know that such a situation like this would happen, but as it is now, I think that when the time comes, the best thing is for us to use the LN, it is better, but we should be getting ready for some issues that are associated with it as well. Before using it, we should try to learn it as it is not working like the direct way that Bitcoin transactions work. Alternatively, one can use the service of the free accelerators too, but since the last time I used it, I mean about 2 months ago or more, it is the ViaBTC accelerating service that was working in this regard. If one can part away with a mere 18s/vb fee, I know that this will be a very good choice for us all.

But running our own nodes as suggested by that guy is not so encouraging if I were the one.

What is happening now is always normal in the market, people often fear or attribute what is not to what is happening many times even as the market will always be affected by both economic and technical factors and this happens in multiple daily, weekly and more. This week alone, many countries' data, particularly of the US that are important, even happened many times this week alone. They actually affected the Bitcoin market, but many would not understand this important news or know maybe they even broke but will be relating market conditions to something else. Regardless of that, to avoid confusion as it is not everyone that would be opportune to have this information, this is why we have to be close to our trading charts. At least, this will reveal what is really happening in the market to use in our planning, especially when we are analyzing it on the higher charts.

Fine, halving is coming now and the ETF has been approved, but after all that, what is next? That is why traders should be dynamic just as the market is dynamic since no factor affecting it now is permanent and our most beliefs about the market could be disappointed at times. This is just as you expected the ETF to have pushed to market to above $50,000 but the market is still now far below it. Therefore, guiding ourselves beyond halving and ETF prevails in my opinion in the short and long-term outlook of the market, and nothing is confusing here if you are well informed about the situation.

What you have to know is that Bitcoin is not a personal property that is signed and documented to you alone, so, yes, it can be stolen. This is why you need to know how Bitcoin was formed, and being operated and how it can be stored and protected properly. At least, you need to know all that so that your part is well-played for the safety and security of the coin. However, there is no how you can be 100% secure when using Bitcoin because it can be stolen through hacking and other means that is not your fault since you are dealing with what is being transacted on the internet. This is peculiar to all internet-based storage and transactions, so it is not about Bitcoin alone.

Also, with the mixing and tumbling services, many coins could be stolen and will never be traced again, or it would be difficult to be traced, which is why it is good to be careful as much as we can.

What the OP stated is peculiar to sports betting and not all aspects of gambling, and I think reading it must have pointed to that easily. But I blame the OP for not including that plainly in his writeup and I know that it might confuse some people especially if they are relating it to casinos and some other aspect of sports betting that do not even relate to that. I like what he explained though and I know that the points above are some of what many of us betting on football and others would have been conversant with. It is practical to have our filtering means to speculate the best teams we will go for. However, I prefer to use this strategy to bet on the matches that are still not played, not the live matches as it might give wrong signals/instinct if one is using it in such a condition, even as emotion could dilute with the resolve of the gambler.

Besides, luck is good in betting but I like people to relate that with casino betting and not sports betting. The luck of a thing is very common among gamblers sayings these days but I do not see it that way unless in slots and all that which are mainly the casino side of betting. But what I will not so rely upon in sports betting is luck and I do not like people to be emphasizing it too much. You have to use more of your brain and experience with the past and current happenings to know the team that might win in football, for instance, not that you will be relying on luck and be doing the guesswork and expect a miracle to happen in the name of luck.

The self-exclusion feature/program is a very good and welcome development but it has a whole lot of limitations as it is poorly adhered to by the gambler and even the casinos for their selfish reasons. Needless to say that it is not all casinos that have such a feature on their platform. Maybe unless the person contacts them manually to let them know what he is facing with gambling and letting his intention known going forward. But I tell you that this doesn't work well even though it is a very good alternative but will so much depend on the gambler and the casino's dedication to it.

Will the gambler be ready to adhere to it and be strict with it for his own benefit? And will the casino avoid their selfish reason to make sure that such gambler is kicked out for a specific period of time? I've heard stories about this self-exclusion of a thing where the same gambler will cancel it and the casino will turn a blind eye. This is the world we live in, everyone wants to make money regardless of how it affects another. Also, some gamblers are the problem of themselves, and even if the casino had done its part, the gambler could use another person's details to continue gambling or gamble elsewhere. It is as bad as that.

What would that person even be thinking? The loan is not meant for gambling but something important that could be more guaranteed and beneficial to the life of the person. It is not for the risky gambling that is about winning or losing in which the money could be lost in a moment. The chance that the money will be lost is even higher than the chance that the money will not be lost, so why risk such money? It is often said wisely that we should not gamble with the money we can't afford to lose, this will only increase the risk in our gambling and I do not think it is just sensible for anyone to accommodate that.

Risk is everywhere but we can still reasonably pursue it for the best experience in what we are risking it for. So, can anyone tell me that they answered the question of whether the money was affordable to be lost by them or not before they went ahead to gamble with it despite being loan money? This is just gross and I pity anyone that has ever done this before. Gambling is not a must and if you are looking for money desperately, gambling is not the right door to knock on, or else, it will add to that desperation and could lead to unspeakable things. This is why it is good for everyone to guard against such from the beginning before it becomes more problem for them. Nonetheless, anyone who could reason that way might either be addicted to gambling or is not just wise.

I love to gamble casinos for the fun and not for the money, but I do not think that any of the two do not have their bad effect if someone is too relaxed about it. If you are too engrossed in gambling for fun, you might be affected too, so we should be careful of the two. Some people might say they like to gamble for the entertainment part of it, but really, are they wasting money in it or not? Are they also addicted to it or not even if they are not wasting money as such? All these are important to preserve the responsible gambling characteristic you are preaching, but if lacking, it is a serious issue. However, I do not think it is as easy as we often propagate it.

If one would not gamble for the money too, it is better for such to have a source of income, if not, he will be tempted one day as gambling is also a place to make money, and in the course of trying to gamble for the fun and make money at times, we are all human being, the course might change in a moment and he might start gambling for the opposite (money). These are what I've noticed in people, their core reason for something can't be guaranteed, it could  change if care is not taken. Above all, we should know the proper ways to gamble for money or for fun and also note that we need to be cautious about both. If not, we could be badly driven by them unnoticed.

You have some point there, well, I am such a person who does not believe in anything originating from anyone but myself, so I do not believe in external gambling experts. What is important now is that if I could be told by someone and cajoled to study the expert, I would. This is because I do not like to be too headstrong and believe in my wisdom alone but being flexible as well as we do not know where you will learn more wisdom. For this, I might be taking my time to watch the fellow and see how he does it, and if he is good, why not? I can use the advice for a secondary account and will only be stricter in the management of the account.

But saying that an expert can make 100%, I will never believe that, and even if I see results, I will still not believe it because such could be doctored, we all see what is going on on the internet these days. It is a real-time prediction that I later see the outcome after it has been initially predicted by the person that I can believe. But till today, I am a one-man solider in my gambling quest and I love it like that.

It is better that we do not cross that red line, if we do, it will not only cost us the money but also enough that are negative that we can point to in our daily life. This is why the addicts are often tagged the irresponsible people as they do not do the right thing with the money they have but gamble. If this is causing financial problems for the person, there is no way it will not affect him and the people around him, and this could lead to other issues, especially when such has been begged and persuaded before on this matter but refuses to change. This is what will take the sanity off them and could so lead to the domestic violence that we are discussing on this forum.

In short, this is just a bad thing and it has levels depending on how the person allows it to eat himself. To some, it is minimal but to others, it is so bad to the extent that they will also be collecting loans and begging people for money just because they want to gamble. I don't think this is the path that anyone reasonable should cross, so it is better we guard against it from the onset before it happens, and it will be better done if we know the evil in gambling addiction even before we start it.

Well, when it comes to gambling and everything that has to do with money, everyone could be emotional irrespective of age, though age is also a factor here, but it is not a yardstick to measure such. This is why you will see so many younger people who will handle situations better than older people, it all depends on our wisdom and maturity and I do not think that age is a good measure of that judging by what we see around us daily. Also, the financial freedom and capacity of the gambler matter to how he would react. If the gambler is so bucks up and gambles with money that means nothing to him, I can assure you that it will not affect him psychologically as much as it would affect the person that bet with all that he had or almost all that he had, which is senseless.

Regardless, the main issues in gambling that gamblers are always fighting all the time are greed, fear, revenge and anxiety. All these and more are under the context of emotion, they all have to be fought for the gambler to be okay. This has to be specially noted by gamblers and work towards, especially the discipline, which is so crucial in gambling.

I don't think your advice is good, this might just dissuade some people from making easy money. I believe that the best advice is for people to ensure that the meme coin they are about to invest their money in is such that is worth it, and it can be worth it with the reliability of the project itself, the blockchain used and how many meme coins has been developed through that blockchain to know its seriousness. You can't tell me that those who opted for BONK are regretting it, and even MEME, and as simple as it is and as limited as the movement was last year, it still earned me almost 2.5 of my investment in the second half of last year.

This is why we should be sensitive in our advice so that it will not just push people away from their blessings. You might want to see how FLOKI moved at a time during that time too, not to talk of others like Babydoge, all earned for people in their own way just like any other coins/tokens. I think that meme coins are still good prospects, only that we should carefully select them to avoid issues for us.

Ripple is one of the cryptocurrencies that are being overpraised on the internet by individuals, groups and many influencers, but it has not so much replicated the praise and relevance that people attribute to it. This is the reason why I stay out of it and I don't think I will ever buy it for any reason. It might be small in size but you should also be considering the market capitalization in spite of the price. I think the pricing compression is deceiving a lot of people, they believe that Ripple will make them the next millionaire but it doesn't work that way.

Have you also thought of the way it behaved in the last mini-bull run? If it would behave so well in the main bull run, wouldn't that have hinted it to you? I believe that people do not appreciate Ripple the way the hypes around it are, if not, it should be multiple times higher than the recent price. But for SOL people didn't hype so much but performed well, the difference is clear. Well, you can't lose your money in any major cryptocurrency on the next bull run, so you have nothing to lose buying XRP, only that you might not make as big money as you might have thought.
