I think DCA doesn't fall into trading because with the DCA strategy you'll be buying each week or month some amount of an asset in crypto-currencies case we will be buying Bitcoin. It's a very successful method to increase your portfolio and with it you can have half or a full Bitcoin.


This type of trading takes place a lot in crypto world and most of the traders are swing traders. The swing traders mostly focus on altcoins in order to earn a lot of profit per trade  due to the pumps that take place. Such traders are opportunity seekers and sometimes they can have losses if they trade wrong coins.

You remind me of Sam Bankman-Fried as that guy claimed that he use arbitrage trading to make a lot of profit during his early days in crypto world. I think this type of trading doesn't take place a lot these days because most of the exchange have bots that will check other exchanges price as soon as possible and will stop arbitrage trading.


Copy-trading is the worst form of trading because the trader isn't doing anything himself and is copying someone else for his trades. The copy-traders doesn't know trading and they only copy others and think that they'll earn profits with that action. These type of traders should not be called as traders because they don't really understand trading themselves and rely on someone else's trades which can sometime be the cause of huge losses.

Well, that's a valid concern but I don't think that anyone will prepare 50 posts in notepad and post them every 15 seconds as that really don't make sense at all in real life but yes as a theory you're right it can happen. The participants in signature campaigns will never do something like that and that's somewhat impossible for them. Most of the participants spend time on forum rather than giving time to notepad in order to write those posts altogether.

I feel same as you and I believe that this time the bull run will make many of us rich once again.   I'm 100% optimistic about the coming bull run and surely that will happen in 2 years from the start of 2024.

No, the buy sell bot isn't enough for trading with profit because such bots could cause huge losses and the user who run that bot will lose a lot. I recommend you to learn trading yourself instead or relying on those bots. Trading is something that we learn in the best way when we give proper time to it. If you really want to be profitable as a trader then you'll have to learn trading yourself rather than wasting your time on those useless bots.

According to Cointelegraph liquidations and Institutional interest can be the cause of the pump that we have seen yesterday.

And, I believe that such pumps are showing us that soon we are going to enter pre-bull run phase and after a few months we will most probably enter bull run and see so many pumps of higher intensity.

The Sec is also going to accept Bitcoin ETF's sometime during the bull run which will further increase the intensity of the bull run.

I believe that the warning is for those users who try to create so many posts in short duration in order to complete their minimum posts. The users who do post bursting are those users who don't give proper time for writing of the posts and they just want to complete their minimum number of posts in order to get their weekly signature payments. Let's say a user makes so many posts of 250 characters in a short span of time in order to meet the requirements of a campaign but none of those posts are constructive and are made in a way to fulfil their campaign requirements only.


I think it is not possible for someone to make 30 or 50 posts in an hour. A better example of post bursting should be around 10-15 posts per hour which is also going to be a hard thing for many users. I believe that Icopress warns those users who just want to complete their 25 posts limit as soon as possible and some users may post more than 10 to 15 posts per hour in order to complete their weekly minimum posts for a campaign.

I believe that Icopress can explain that better than us and if he takes part in this thread then that will be very helpful for @OP and all those members who don't really understand that warning fully.

I'm a PC user and I don't use any extension to copy URLS of current pages because I can do that manually with simple mouse clicks and the job is done. I don't really use the site using my smartphone to copy links here or write any posts but I use mobile to browse other sites and the experience of copying is not stressful at all for me.


It's going to be extra burden for the forum users. If there should be a button then that button will have to appear on each threads and all replies of those threads. Such button will take extra space on the page and many users may click it unintentionally. That won't solve the problem of users but will create more problems for them.

Good to see that you have positive feelings about Bitcoin and Bitcoin trading but I would like to warn you that trading isn't an easy game and if you don't give enough time to learning it properly then you may face huge losses in future. I believe that you might have turned $100 into $180 with the help of leveraging on futures trading as it's not easy to do that on spot because earning $80 from $100 in two days is a difficult task and I believe that you were lucky to earn that much. But, if you have earned that using spot then in that case you might have traded Bitcoin against another altcoin most probably a pump and dump one, and that my friend is a very risky thing because those pump and dump coins are very unpredictive and they can ruin someone's portfolio easily.



Well, those people who compare gambling with Bitcoin are not aware of the real purpose of Bitcoin and they don't really give proper time to research and understanding of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a form of payment and as asset at the same time. It can be used for gambling as many online casinos accept it as a payment on their platform, but it doesn't have any connection with gambling at all, and it wasn't made for that purpose.

I think you explained their difference in the best way possible and I totally agree with you. In gambling when we lose a bet we lose it forever and we won't be able to recover the loss again if we don't win any future bets. Trading is different in that perspective because a trader when buys a coin and the coin's value  drop more than 50% in value but if the trader can hold that coin for long periods then he/she may recover the lost balance.

But, sometimes when a trader invest into a wrong coin then such coin's value won't recover and the trader has lost everything. I believe same is true for futures trader who trade with leveraging. Whenever a trader goes with futures trading with leverage then I believe the thing will be similar to gambling somehow because if the coins get liquidated then the trader won't be able to recover those.

Yes, I agree with you the parents who recommend to buy property aren't sure what Bitcoin is or how good it will get over the coming years.

Most people trust blindly on Real Estate as they think that the property rates will surely increase in a decade or two and purchasing of a property is best option to secure someone future financially, but I believe that those people aren't aware about the potential of Bitcoin.

This generation's asset isn't property or stock shares because they are nothing compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the future of this generation whoever have it can live their life happily without any financial issues in the future.



Amazing to see that in real life. $200k in 2025 seems out of picture for many but I believe it's possible to reach that level in 2025, and man hitting $1 million is really mind-blowing in just next four years.

I recommend you to avoid Bitcoin ATM's for selling and buying of Bitcoin because they aren't secure at all and you can lose your money and other private information if someone has installed malware in those ATM machines.

The fees of those Bitcoin ATM's are so high which range from 5% to 15% or even more sometimes. It's always better to pay directedly with Bitcoin instead of going through the route of Bitcoin ATM's. I don't think that it's smart enough to pay that higher percentage of fees if you have direct Bitcoin payment option.

Some of those Bitcoin ATM's may require KYC information as well and that's not acceptable for many people who want to make transactions with privacy. Paying directly via Bitcoin wallet is the best choice in your case and I recommend you to pay directly with Bitcoin.

Who said that merit system is not working? I think the merit system is working in the best way possible. The admin implemented merit system to reduce spam on the forum and after it the number of spam posters have decreased significantly. The spam posts will always be present and they are present on every online forum of the world but in this forum merit system decreased the number of users who mostly made spam posts to increase their activity.

Can you please share proof of your claims? Where have you seen spam or bad quality posts on the forum and did those spammers earned any merits at all?  If you really understand what a spam post is then you'll surely share some examples of those posts, but I'm quite sure that you won't be able to share any posts or members who earned good number of merits doing any kind of spam postings. I think you don't like the merit system because it made ranking harder for you and all those members who have less knowledge about Bitcoin and can't contribute good stuff to the forum, but those who have knowledge about Bitcoin and can contribute something good to the forum will always have more than enough merit to rank up.

In fact, I have seen some members who ranked up pretty fast and have more than enough merits for their next rank. Those members are contributing good posts to the forum and that's why they are getting those merits. If you can do the same then trust me the members will merit you for your contribution. You have got more than 15 merits for a single post that someone considered helpful and that proves the merits are always there for good and helpful posts.

Yes, there is another simple and similarly secure way to store your Bitcoin. You don't really need Bitcoin core for the purpose because there are many other open-source wallet software that you can use to create your wallet and deposit your Bitcoin into that wallet. One of the most user-friendly wallet software that you can use it Electrum. In fact I think it's most beginner friendly way to store your Bitcoin because it's easy to learn and there are many tutorials about it on YouTube.

You can watch this simple tutorial to learn about Electrum wallet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MP_EMxypCE

You should first learn about wallet creation and once you master that then create your own wallet and then save your private keys and seed phrases on multiple secure locations so that you won't lose them and you should never share those with anyone else because if someone else get access to those then they can steal your Bitcoin remotely without any issue.

I won't call those people scammers because they are somehow stealing your cards which fall into the category of thieves or bandits. And such things can happen with Bitcoin users as well. If some of those negative people learn about someone who has enough holdings in Bitcoin then they can kidnap that person and or someone closed to him/her in order to get the private keys of the wallets where he/she has stored the Bitcoin. It would be difficult task as compare to card snatching but it can also be done by those negative ones.


I believe Bitcoin is still safe than those credit and debit cards that the banks issue for the users. The best thing that makes Bitcoin safe is the privacy of the user who bought Bitcoin. The Bitcoin is 100% decentralized and can be purchased by anyone without any restriction. The Bitcoin holder can transfer his/her Bitcoin from one wallet to another without any issues.

The Bitcoin users can purchase Bitcoin using decentralized exchanges and those purchases will be very safe and none of the local thieves will know about such transactions. Although, Bitcoin can also be hacked but if someone does everything properly then there is very minimum chance of those hacks to take place. The banks are vulnerable to attacks from hackers while Bitcoin is safe from hackers as a network because most of the nodes are trusted and the hackers can't do anything directly to the Bitcoin blockchain.

Your calculation is wrong if someone bought Bitcoin at $60k then his/her portfolio should be at $26k or above now and if the same person bought once again at $16k then cost of Bitcoin would be $38k for that person that person will also be profitable if he/she holds those coins for 2025.

Now, let's say a person bought Bitcoin at $65k and is still holding his/her investment then within next two years he/she may get chance to double up his/her portfolio. The price of Bitcoin will at least reach $100k during the next bull run and that person will still make enough profits from that investment.

Well, it has more than million visitors per month during sometimes. Surely during the next bull run the number of visitors will increase because new people will join the Bitcoin community during the bull run.

That was game of luck I guess because you bought the laptop in order to transition from your old laptop and you weren't able to install the Bitcoin core in that new laptop due to storage issue, and that's why it took you some more time to buy a new laptop and Sync the Bitcoin core fully on that new laptop. Man, it was your luck that you sold your BCH for $1000, and if I'm not wrong then it took you at least a month when your Bitcoin core was synced fully into that new laptop because if we see that charts of BCH then in 11/11/2017 it reached $1000 value and its value was around $300 or little bit higher during 10./10/2017, and that's why sometimes unintentionally our luck saves us.

Well, it depends on someone's knowledge and understanding about economics. Some people work for 5 years and within those 5 years they put a portion of their income for investing into assets that can grow good in value over the next 15 years, and those people mostly live frugal lifestyle during those 5 years. They can live rest of their life happily without any financial issues.

Let's take the example of first one who worked for 5 years and after that he/she is happy to live rest of his/her life happily without any financial issues. Let's suppose the person made $1000 per month and put $250 aside in order to invest those into an asset, and now suppose the asset was Bitcoin where he/she invested that $250 during 2009 to 2014. That person don't need to work anymore because he/she has invested in a very good asset that made him/her a millionaire or most probably a billionaire.

Now let's take the example of the second one who worked for those 5 years and spent his/her monthly income without putting anything for investing. That person will still have to work for rest of his/her life because he/she hasn't invested anything into an asset like Bitcoin.

I think that's not a true statement because the merit sources are really valuable for the members of the forum who make high-quality, constructive posts, and if there are more merit sources then most of the posts which are good in quality but haven't received any merits may get merits from those merit sources.

The merit sources mostly give merits to those threads and replies which contain valuable information, and I believe that in gambling board there are members who make very informative threads/replies but unfortunately due to lack of merit sources in that board they don't get deserving merits for their contribution.

I really think that the gambling board also needs merit sources and someone like cryptofrka who's active on that board could be a very reliable merit source for that board. I wholeheartedly support the merit source application of cryptofrka and I hope that theymos will select him as a merit source when the selection starts.

Yes, if the lender accepts jewelry as collateral then it works as a collateral, but I'm pretty sure that only local lenders may accept jewelry as collateral for loans because other lenders who are far away from the borrower may not accept jewelry as valid collateral because it's not possible to send or receive jewelry without heavy taxation. However, if the borrower can pay those taxes and delivery charges then some kind lenders may accept jewelry as collateral if it's value is above the value of loan.
