181  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: April 08, 2024, 07:12:06 AM

You seem too committed to the DCA method that you tend to have forgotten that there is another method of buying called buying the dips. There is nothing wrong with setting aside some funds to buy when price dips and when waiting,  using the DCA method to continue buying without stop and waiting for the dips to buy lump sum. This is a kind of combined method which is very effective. I think most experienced investors apply this method and I recommend the method for anyone who want to fully take advantage of different market conditions.  


I'm pretty much aware that they are other nice strategy out There for accumulating bitcoin. But they all have their time ( depending on market conditions)  . For instance you can't just keep waiting for the dip always before one should consider accumulating, So is better for to continue with his DCA purchasing , having some funds set aside (which known as reserved funds) to purchase the dip whenever any occurs. The other way of accumulating are also helpful when it comes to bitcoint accummulation, but being consistent with your DCA is just the best too, and also making use of the other strategy for instance, spreading out your reserved to purchase the dips ( or you can all in at once but still prefer spreading it), have some nice amount of money to spare as a normies you can go all in at once with the use of lump-summing strategy, depending on the market condition, So if  you look at it we are clearly on same page here.

From what JayjuanGee thought me, that there are meaningful concepts and functionalities of various strategies hence, the idea of having a lump sum buying completely has nothing to do with market conditions. However, the idea of lump sum buying is having some amount of money that you are holding right now and you decided how much of that money that you are going to invest right now with that amount that is made available to you to use and buy right now whether there is a dip or not but rather it is much connected to your own personal decision regarding how much of that amount that is available right now that you would want to use and buy Bitcoin right now.
I don't think if the lump sum buying is subjected to any market conditions or buying when there is a dip or which ever way you may have but a sole decision of an investor irrespective of any forms of market conditions, and I think it is just  a misconception of concepts, and also open for corrections if any.
As long as you are still consistent with your DCA strategy weekly or monthly, you can lump sum anytime you ha e the money regardless of bitcoin price. However, the best time to lump sum is during the dip, because will we keep waiting for the dip before we lump sum, when we can NO. Since one gets bitcoin in discount during the dip, it is better if you have the money to lump sum, you divide it into two, since you are already DCAing, use one part to lump sum immediately, and keep the order part to buy at the dip. Or better still, you can share the money into three one part will be added to your regular DCA funds, one part to lump sum immediately and the last part to buy at the dip.

Discussion here is mainly for correcting mistakes, because correct decisions can be taken from each other's discussion. That's why we will discuss the main threats of the DCA method, only then can we all openly hold Bitcoin for a long time.
DCA method of accumulating bitcoin does not have any threats, but gives you more strength to be able to accumulate bitcoin without stress, since you are using like 10% of your income to accumulate bitcoin regularly weekly or monthly. When it is properly done, it will give you the opportunity to reach your bitcoin target overtime as long as your are consistent and persistent with it. DCA does not teach anyone how to hodli bitcoin for long, but it only take you to believe in bitcoin, self determination, discipline, sacrifice and staying focus to become a long term holder.

The result of the first half is no surprise, Manchester United are very poor this season. Liverpool are a better team this season and as expected, everything seems to be working for the good of Liverpool. They are going into the second half with a goal lead. I believe Liverpool will be taking better advantage of their chances in the second half. I hope icopress did not bet on Manchester United.
Manchester united have been lucky to have a free goal due to the error from Liverpool goalkeeper that he gave a shot pass to his defender. The game is now tensed as Manchester united is trying to display some confidence in the match, after the goal scored by Bruno Fernandez on the 50th minutes.

Such an early goal has put the atmosphere into a tensed one. It is now 1-1 draw, and I don't know if this match will be in favor of Liverpool because they are pressuring united right now.



Although Liverpool looks like they still have better quality than Manchester United but still, at this moment Liverpool are still under difficult pressure. So yes, because Liverpool are still in difficult situations and conditions, of course it will still not be easy for Liverpool to win in this away match against Manchester United. Although it is true, that Liverpool are also still able to play well in this match by having good dominance also in statistics. But anyway, in this second half Liverpool failed to maintain the victory they had in the first half because after all, currently the score is 2-1 and Manchester United is leading.
I couldn't believe that outstanding strike from Mainoo after a side turn, which made him more comfortable to take the shot into the right top corner of the post to put Manchester united on the lead. There is hope back for Liverpool as Wambasaka has made a foul inside his own box. Salalah have scored the penalty to equalize the goal for Liverpool. I don't know what is wrong with Man United, whenever they are on the lead, they will make a foul inside their 18 yard box, giving their opponents the opportunity to equalize the game. It is 2-2

Roma seemed to have no chance of losing and in the previous 9 matches they were still unbeaten and the latest victory they got against Lazio with a score of 1-0 at the Olimpico Stadium kept them sitting comfortably in 5th position in the standings. Roma managed to widen the point difference from Atalanta to 6 points and they are also getting closer to Bologna who are 2 points apart.

Mancini scored Roma's only winning goal towards the end of the first half and the lead lasted until the match was over. Actually it was quite disappointing for Lazio because they had a very long time to equalize but they couldn't do it. Even though statistically Lazio's ball possession is quite superior, and their goal attempts are also higher than Roma's, it's just that they can't attack effectively. Lazio had to return to silence in 7th position after winning the previous two matches and now they are likely to be overtaken by Napoli considering that Osimhen and his friends have not started this week's match against Monza.
It is a good record for De Rossi, because since he took over from Mourinho, he has managed the club to make sure that they don't drop much points. The highest that they will settle for will be a draw. Mancini made a difference in today's game, by scoring the only goal with a good header, to give all three points to Roma. Lazio could not equalize the goal, and I will say that they were unlucky in this match. This is because they played wonderfully, but was unable to find the back of the net. The only goal that was scored by Lazio was an offside. If Roma continues with theirgood performance, they will be abnle to finish on 4th position, as Bologna might not be able to hold on to the 4th position till the end of the league.

Currently Arsenal are ahead with a goal in the 33rd minute through their flagship player Saka and it seems that this match will be very difficult for Brighton even though the team is the host today. Because Arsenal continues to make attacks on Brighton's goal, they will definitely be able to score another goal in the second half because Arsenal's determination to win today is very big in order to continue to be in the top competition. Because tomorrow Liverpool will also face quite tough opponents than Asenal and Manchester City today.
Manchester City have won 3 points, while Arsenal can be sure to win the same 3 points, just waiting for Liverpool tomorrow, maybe they will win.

Brighton will not be able to keep up with Arsenal's game in the second half, this is clearly difficult to do, we know how difficult it is to penetrate Arsenal's defense, even in attack Arsenal look aggressive, maybe in the second half the goals will increase again, while Brighton is still not sure they can do it.

Brighton is only good at the beginning of the season after that it starts to dim again, sometimes this team always does not last long because there is no strong experience throughout the season.
Arsenal have a fairly consistent performance now with quite a lot of motivation so they won't have any difficulty winning the match even though they are playing at home to Brighton.
Now Arsenal are currently 2 goals ahead, there are 10 minutes left in the match so I think it won't be difficult for Arsenal to maintain their lead and get 3 points this week.


Brighton's performance has really declined now, they are unable to maintain the stability of the team's performance and I think that is quite natural because this squad is not filled with players who have good quality to be able to compete at the top of the Premier League standings.
The match ended 3-0, what a good performance from Arsenal today against Brighton. Brighton were unable to play Arsenal in this match, because Arsenal is stronger than them. This makes it difficult for Brighton to find the back of the net, because Arsenal did not give them the opportunity to do so. Arsenal currently on top of the table, and it is until Liverpool wins their match against Manchester united, that they will be able to take the first position back from Arsenal. The league is getting tougher every day by day, because no club is ready to deoppoints among the top three clubs.

You should also make sure that the email you use on Bitcointalk account registration is very active on your device or computer for notifications, and don't ignore any notification from that email address so that if your account is hacked
This will harm your privacy because if there's a pop up notification about this forum when someone see your phone, they will know if you have account in this forum and know you're have interest to Bitcoin.

Learn to memorize your password by login manually every time you want to access this forum, don't just login for one time.

Another thing you need to use 2FA, even the hacker can change your email and password, but if they didn't know the 2FA code, you will be safe.
If you have so much private information in your phone or computer, then it is better not to share it with anyone, so that no one can know what you are into through your notifications. I don't give out my phone to anyone, because it is my private property. Memorizing your password is very good, but in a case whereby, you have a lot of platforms where you register a d used a password, it will be very difficult to memorize all the passwords. This is why writing it down as a k up is the best and also having a recovery email to your email is also good. The password that I forget was memorized, and I do login and login out alway, not until few weeks ago that I decided not to logout, and behold I forgot the password. I still cannot understand that I was unable to login with my old password.

Milan is ahead by three goals so far and one of Lecce's players has also received a red card so there is no reason for Milan not to win in this ongoing match. Because this is one of the very real advantages for Milan apart from playing at home with the target of winning for full points, because so far Milan has gotten better and can still be relied on in tougher matches other than today's match. Because Lecce is not a match for Milan even though Lecce has a slightly stronger defense.
The match has ended and AC Milan won with a score of 3-0, which is quite natural in my opinion, apart from the red card received by the Lecce player which gave AC MIlan more freedom to control this match, but the quality of these two teams is very different and the quality of AC MIlan is much different. better so it's only natural to win this match easily.

AC MIlan is currently in their best performance, but they have no chance of being in Serie A anymore because they are too far behind in points from Inter Milan who are at the top of the standings.
Now Milan only maintains second place and they are more focused on the European stage, where they are more likely to win the title.
Yea, it was an easy match for Milan today, as they won Lecce on a clean sheet. I would not say it was because of the red card, because Milan have already scored two goals in the first 25mins before the red card came in the latter. Milan continues to keep to their consistency, and that is very good because they need to win their match against Roma in Europa cup. Lecce was not as strong as Milan, and they still got a red card, which was not good for their strength. That made Milan to be relieved and played with ease.

This is a reminder to all, both newbies and OGs in the forum on account security. It is good that when we are creating an account in this forum or any other important platform, we should always use an email that we have access to all the time. Some people use random emails that they can lay their hands on to register their account forgetting that, if you don't have access to your account, maybe you forget your password or where you wrote it down, you don't have access to the book. It is only from your email that you can use to have access to your account.

What I am saying is that, those of us that are using an email address that we have forgotten the password or don't have access to the password, should go and create a new emails address and change it with the old one, so that incase you forget your password or don't have access to your bitcointalk account, you will not be worried, as you can just use your email to login to your Bitcointalk account with ease, because a link will be sent to that email from the admin here, which gives you access to change your password and login. Try not to save any password in your head, because it is a big risk but write it down in a notebook, and back it up so that when you misplace wherever you wrote your password down, you can reach out for the back ups. Don't save your password on cloud flare or on your computer, because it is dangerous and can easily be accessed.

You should also make sure that the email you use on Bitcointalk account registration is very active on your device or computer for notifications, and don't ignore any notification from that email address so that if your account is hacked, immediately you will know, and if you are smart enough, you can use your email to reset your account password, before the hacker changes the email address to your account. I am saying this from the experience of what happened to me last week Saturday, I don't know how I forget my password, and when I reached out for the book where I wrote it on, I couldn't lay my hands on it.

I got worried, and didn't enjoy my Easter day, because of not having access to the email which I used to register my account, as it has been 2yrs since I created that email before I used it to register my bitcointalk account here. I neglected checking if I still have access to the email address, because I believe that the password is safe and anytime I want it, I can get it. To cut the story short, it was on Tuesday this week that I was able to have access to the email for a change of password on my Bitcointalk account, which got be relieved.

So tell me if you have had such experience of not being able to login to your Bitcointalk forum account due to password issues, and how did you feel about it. Let's discuss.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 05, 2024, 04:21:55 PM
If we are new to gambling, excitement is really what we feel but as time goes by, it is not fun anymore. As we can see, more gamblers are committing debts/loans, more gamblers are in the chase of their losses, and more gamblers become addicted and change their behavior. Excitement is not a bad thing to happen to us but what goes wrong is when we can't control our feelings anymore as this will lead to spending more time which is a common factor of addiction.

I'd reached that point a few years ago but I see the results were not good and changed my gambling habit. Maybe I can't control my gambling habit, I was certain the worst thing happened to me now (addiction).
When a gambler is addicted, the fun in gambling will no longer be there. This is because he will always be thinking of chasing his losses, as he is now gambling to recover his loss and not for fun. Gambling will bring pain and regret to such addicted gambler, because he must have used funds for important purpose to gamble which will affect him negatively. This is why it is good that we discipline ourselves, and only gamble to entertain ourselves so that we can enjoy the fun in it. Losing or winning should not be what we are after, but how to gamble and live a healthy life is what we should consider as gamblers.

Even though Girona just got a win against Betis, there is something I regret about this club where they lost their confidence at the end of the season. Maybe those of you who have followed Girona's journey from the start of the season were amazed by what they displayed and it could almost be said that they will win the La Liga title this season.
Football is filled with surprises and I'm not tired of watching the performance of these elite teams moving to the top. Girona have everything to hold unto the energy6 level of Real Madrid but something happen to them along the line, they failed to win or even score a goal against Real Madrid who was their top rival. Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.
Indeed, currently Girona is in third place with a difference of two points from Barcelona in second place in the standings. However, Girona's journey this season has been truly sensational and surprised the top La Liga teams at the start of the season, they were able to stay at the top of the standings for a long time, even though in the end they lost concentration in several matches, especially when they lost to Real Madrid.

However, Girona's current achievements are commendable, they have made the league even more interesting and of course next season they will play in the Champions League with 8 matches remaining. I think they can maintain their top four ranking until the end of the season. Girona deserve their current achievements because they are playing very, very well and effectively.
Girona really surprised everyone this season with their consistency. Nobody would ever think of Girona on the third position on the table this season, because they are not among the strong teams in Laliga. But this season they have proved it to the world that they can do what other big clubs are doing, and they were able to keep up with their games and one this far. I would not be bothered on their current form, because it is certain that they will be in the Champions League next season, as they are only focused on Laliga for now, compared to other clubs on the top four on the table.

Just the other day Lazio managed to beat Juventus, I guess this was the revenge in some sort of way. Juventus doesn't look consistent enough to be able to let us bet on them, they lost to Lazio and beat Lazio within just a few days to show how inconsistent they are. This is why I believe that we should probably consider the situation to be changing a little bit.

I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just focusing on how you could move any further, that would definitely make it a lot better for you. I believe that the best way to go would be just considering how you could move away from betting for them. I understand the desire for it, because they are normally good, but as we can see they are not always themselves.

Finally, we saw something from Allegri and his team. Juventus had a bad performance in the Serie A and they were far from what we could even see from this team because since they were not playing in the Champions Leauge like Inter Milan and Ac Milan, they could have a higher chance of winning the Serie A title in this season but they failed. Recently Juventus lost the game against Lazio in Serie A with a 1-0 result and they had bad performance in that game.
But just after that, in the Coppa Italia, they won the game against Lazio with a 2-0 result in the Semi-final match. Now Juventus is very close to being in the Coppa Italia final match after this win they got.

 
Of course, it is a good thing that Juventus have a target on Coppa Italia, because there is nothing for them in Seria A. If they can manage to win Coppa Italia, it is better than nothing. I hope that their performance will not be a problem for them on winning the cup, since they have being inconsistent with their matches. Maybe they will try their best to see how to put in their best performance in order to win the cup. But if they did not, it means that is season was a bad one for them.
192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: April 05, 2024, 08:18:57 AM
In a nutshell know and act within the means of your Risk Tolerance.

We manage our money and we know the risk under which we are exposing ourselves, but we have to see things from the correct point of view, there are no risks in bitcoin, only if you are going to make a quick investment but that does not make sense, if you buy bitcoin is long-term to make the investment as it is, if I buy today, my investment should be to seek benefits in about 3 or 4 years, but since we are so close to the halving it is a gift that we buy now because it may be that It will rise a lot, in 2024 or 2025, but that will rise, there is no doubt about that, so for me right now it is below $73k? It's a dip for me, is bitcoin going down? It is a dip for me, if it goes down more it is another dip for me, you have to buy in stages to then see the benefits.

Bitcoin may not be so risky like people think of it to be, these has delayed many people who are to invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin investment would require a bit of strategic knowledge, anyone who invest without even a little knowledge about Bitcoin and its risk management is likely to be under the pressure when the price DIP, seeing his/her investment drop in dollar value, they assume being at loss where as it is the most common attribute of Bitcoin, experiencing volatility. Another factor at which people tend to see Bitcoin as being risky is when they purchase massively at the top of the market, not understanding how the cycle works and seeing the DIP part of the cycle they begin to question if literally it was a good idea to invest in Bitcoin, these has brought the advantages of strategically applying the DCA approach rather than lump buy, likely they have to purchase at regular intervals whereas it falls into a cycle of purchasing a DIP, so the thought of being at loss is ruined and even the investor would be delighted to keep on investing.
No investment is not risky, but when you understand follow the right step of investing, you will be able to lower the risk in it. Just like bitcoin investment, if you know the basics and work with it when investing, the risk will be limited. Bitcoin investment is for a long term like 4-10years  and above for you to be able to minimize the risk attached to it. Another risk is when you don't have an emergency funds, and you say that you are investing in bitcoin, it means that you will end up selling your bitcoin at a cheaper price, and run at loss when an emergency arise. Another risk is when you are selling your bitcoin and thinking to buy back in order to double your bitcoin, thinking it is a good strategy to use in increasing your bitcoin. Lastly, is when you think that bitcoin investment is a get rich quick scheme and you invest with the money for important needs.

Any investor that can use 10% of his income to invest on bitcoin using DCA by buying weekly or monthly consistently and have all the necessary funds needed that will make him not touch his bitcoin investment during his accumulation phase and hodli for long, will be happy for the sacrifice he took when he has accumulated enough Bitcoin. Personally, I think discipline, and patience are the big problem that most people are having that cannot invest and hodli for a long period of time

Haha this is just the opposite Chelsea can comeback while Manchester United is even worse, an interesting match towards the end I felt tense how Chelsea scored a goal for his victory it was very cheering the supporters.

Remember that Cole Palmer has always been a mainstay of Chelsea imagine in the last two matches has scored 5 goals this may be a successful purchase from Manchester City rather than the purchase of other expensive strikers.

At least Chelsea have added their points table up there is still one match left that Chelsea might be able to win for Newcastle or West Ham, with this victory maybe confidence will grow again in their squad.
Manchester united is not worst, but had a bad day on the pitch. Manchester united defenders was suppose to know that Palmer is a very dangerous player, and should not have given him any space. However, Manchester united thought it was over, when it was not yet over, which caused them to lose all three points. Palmer is the best transfer that Chelsea made this season, and I know that they will not regret spending such a big amount on him.

Really depends on the family member and on their relationship
Some will be able to talk or to help them seek a therapist or some other kind of help
Others will just try to talk them out of gambling which is a thing that probably will not work

Many ways to help and the person needs to want help to start  it
No matter how much therapist or medical treatment a gambler receives, if he is not treated well by his family, that is, if he is not treated well in the family, then the therapist or medical meditation will not have any effect on him. Basically when a gambler is addicted to gambling and if he wants to get out of gambling or want to control it then I think his close relatives or relationship members especially parents, siblings and wife, children who live in the family if the gambler With courtesy I think the love of a close relative will contribute much more than a medical therapist or meditation.
There is no way that one family will abandon him, when he needs their help to get out of addiction. As long as that gambler is ready to overcome his addiction, his family will be happy to help him out. This is because the know the consequences of gambling addiction, and nobody will love his family member to be ruined through gambling addiction. Especially parents, they will not be at peace to see that they can help their child out of a big problem like gamble addiction, and they did not.

There are no significant obstacles for Liverpool in the Europa League because this club always provides fierce competition against clubs in the Europa League, especially when they were in the round of 16 Liverpool seemed to play very well and created quite a large aggregate and that was enough to convince everyone that Liverpool deserves to be a contender for the Europa League title, and I think fighting Atalanta is also not a big obstacle for Liverpool because this club is not very consistent in the league so Liverpool can make good use of it by eliminating Atalanta in the quarter-finals and progressing smoothly to the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen's journey was hampered in the round of 16 against Qarabag in the first leg, but fortunately in the second leg, Leverkusen played at home, so they were able to make things difficult for their opponents and managed to win the match and now Leverkusen has to prepare against West Ham in the quarter-finals, which is not an easy task for them. Leverkusen beat the Premier League club. But I am sure Leverkusen will continue its unbeaten record and Xabi Alonso also has the ambition to win the Europa League title with Leverkusen this season as long as he is still Leverkusen coach.
Currently, there are no significant obstacles for Liverpool and also the quality of their team is better than other teams, so Liverpool are always favored.
Against Atalanta in the quarter-finals there shouldn't be any difficulties for Liverpool because in terms of quality these two teams have differences and it is clear that Liverpool is much better than Atalanta this season.
If there are no big surprises then I think Liverpool will be able to reach the semifinals easily.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen did have difficulty beating Qarabag to get to the quarter-finals, but I don't think that can be used as a reference because in my opinion we also have to look at Leverkusen's overall performance since the start of the season in all their matches and they are quite strong I think.
I don't have any fear on Liverpool rest matches to the finals, because they have one of the best squad, if not even the best squad in Europa league this season. Their victory over Atalanta is sure, and don't be surprised that Liverpool will win them both home and away. I watched Atalanta match yesterday against Fiorentina in Coppa Italia, and Atalanta was unable to find the back of the net and accepted a 1-0 defeat from their host. Atalanta will play their best against Liverpool, but their best will lead them out of the competition. This is because Klopp have plans of winning this competition.

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.
Gambling cannot be a source of income, because gambling is there to take from you, and gives you the opportunity to have hope of winning. You lose more than you win, which is why gamble is risky and ruins anyone that want to use it as a means to make profit. Only gamble for fun, and there should be limitations to your gamble activities.

It will be interesting to see how Man City plays against Villa tonight... Bookmakers certainly make City favourites in this match, but their last game against Arsenal wasn't a sure thing... Now Villa shows not bad results and is close to Man City in the standings... Perhaps this match will be similar to yesterday's Newcastle vs Everton match...
Manchester City played good football against Arsenal at Etihad Stadium, and if not for a club like Arsenal, Manchester City would have won that match. With what Manchester City played against Arsenal, they are the favorites to win this match. Aston Villa's performance has reduced, and they cannot compete with Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.

Villa will be fighting for a Champions League spot and I think it'll be a good match... The head-to-head stats are a good indicator... The last time Villa beat City away was in 2012 in the League Cup and in 2007 in the EPL... What's most funny is that the last time Villa drew in Manchester was 30 years ago... All that said, Villa have little chance today, but I think it will still be a nice match...

Although indeed, at this moment or recently Aston Villa did not have as good results like at the beginning of the season which had a good winning streak. But evenso, of course Aston Villa will still make great efforts to be able to maintain its position in the top four. Also, the fact is that in the first meeting of this season Aston Villa managed to beat Manchester City with a score of 1-0 at Villa Park. With the defeat received by Manchester City by Aston Villa in the first meeting thisseason, of course, Manchester City will take revenge in this match played at Etihad Stadium.

But indeed, the point is that since Unai Emery became Aston Villa head coach that Aston Villa's performance really has a very good improvement, and that is evident in this season Aston Villa can compete well in the top four. Also about the ongoing match this time, that the score while this is in the 35th minute is still a 1-1 draw. Of course it is a good result for Aston Villa but bad for Manchester City, because Manchester City still really need full points to stay in the title race.
Luiz of Aston Villa made foolish decision by bringing down Foden close to their 18 yard box, which led to a free kick. Foden took a superb free kick which broke through the wall of Aston Villa to the back of their post on the 45+1mins to put Arsenal on the lead. The first half is over, and it might be difficult for Aston Villa to equalize the goal this time. Seems like Arsenal is an eye opener, and they have taught clubs on how to play City in order to draw the match, instead of City gaining all three points. Defensive game to is key to Man City weakness.

I don't sure with Atletico Madrid has opportunity for replacing Girona on top forth position standings, first half season match Girona success defeating Atletico Madrid and both team will face each other on game weeks 31 or upcoming match. Current standings, Girona still manage behind 6 points left and if can take three points against Atletico will make Girona more comfortable their 3rd standings position awhile in La Liga and seems easily for qualifying to Champion League.
Its not difficult for Girona getting victory against Atletico Madrid or Barcelona because both teams losses on first half season match, I believe Girona understand well for securing three points against Atletico and Barcelona because want to make more safety for participating in Champion League next season for the first time.

I don't think Atletico Madrid's main target is to finish the season at the third position now honestly. Their target must be secure themselves in top four. Because it is really in danger you know.  Sad

While Athletic Bilbao are right behind by only two points every single point is important for both teams. Atletico Madrid are going to have one of the toughest games in the season next time. Girona already beat them home before. Simeone will need to get prepared for them better this time. It is such a tough game to predict on one hand because of the Champions League games they are going to play as well. I assume I will give Atletico Madrid win a chance here.
Exactly, Atletico Madrid should be more focus on maintaining their position on the table, rather than thinking that they can overtake Girona who is 7 points ahead of them, because it will be a difficult task for them. Atletico is playing in the Champions League, and that is also a big competition that they need to focus on. Perhaps, if Girona should play the way they played in the first leg against Atletico Madrid, there is possibility that they would win the match. However, Girona drop form, amd they have issues maintaining their consistency, which led to Barcelona bringing them down from the second position on the table. This is should an advantage for Atletico Madrid to win the match, due to Girona inconsistencies, and their 4th position is also at stake if they allow Girona to win them the second time. Since Bilbao will not lose their next match.

Buying bitcoins little by little and withdrawing them to a personal wallet is the most effective way. I've been doing it for a few months and now I think I'm pretty successful even though I only have a few bitcoins at the moment. But I hesitate to buy again when the price of bitcoin becomes too expensive. Do you have an opinion? Unfortunately I just found out about this forum, if I knew about it a long time ago maybe I would have more bitcoins. Even though I've known about bitcoin for a long time, I was hesitant to start buying bitcoin for a long time before finally deciding to start buying it on binance
I'm quite inquisitive to know how much bitcoin you've bought that makes you hesitant to continue buying now because you think the price has increased too much.

I know that feeling that comes when you've probably invested above your normal range and you kind of think you've arrived and don't need to accumulate more bitcon or the feeling might come  that you should necessarily slow down on your accumulation because you can't buy much with the little amount you've kept out for your DCAing. It's normal to feel that way but if you can continue more further it will go a long way in boosting your portfolio. Making few months of stacking is for me too short termed and I wouldn't advice you to relax on your buying. It's true if you had started buying earlier this year, the value you used at the time isn't worth what's currently obtainable at the moment but understand that this is not the last stop to how bullish the market will get to. The halving is just by the corner and the truth is that you've not stayed even up to a single circle and as a single person it's practically hard to believe that you've accumulated enough Bitcoin that might have put you in the fvk you status or give you the leverage of waiting for moment when it DIPs so you can take advantage of it and stack up more.

Maybe you you're looking for an answer to what's probably bothering your mind and let me come out plain. Should you still buy Bitcoin now that it's $66k? Absolutely yes. If you're still on your DCA routine it's never a bad idea to buy at the time you've set out so you don't risk procrastinating and waiting over and over again and then the market continues getting bullish and all you're left with is regrets and hope that Bitcoin does comes down in the future so you can buy. Make it a necessity never to miss out on your DCA plan so it becomes easier to get to your accumulation goal without emotions coming along your way as a major hindrance.


I don't have much bitcoin at the moment, I only started buying around the middle of last year. Since the price was above $50k I decided to stop buying and now the price is even higher. I'm still unsure whether to continue purchasing or not, I'm waiting for the price to return to $50k or at least below $60k. Although I am pretty sure bitcoin will reach $100k but buying bitcoin for $66k is still too expensive for me. I'm still waiting for the price to go down and will buy again.

Even so, I am also afraid that the price will get more expensive and miss this moment, but I am still confused and don't really understand bitcoin price analysis. I'm still waiting for the price development and keeping my money in cash, once I'm sure maybe I'll start buying bitcoin again. I will monitor bitcoin price movements this month before deciding to buy again
You don't need to be afraid and confused on what to do, but I understand how you feel as a newbie, who just started his bitcoin investment journey without the idea of bitcoin price movement. What you need to do is not to wait, because waiting is very dangerous. You should use the DCA method to accumulate bitcoin, as it is the best for new investors like you who are ready to invest in bitcoin for a long time, and also build their bitcoin portfolio along side. You should make a proper calculation of your monthly income, and set aside your daily needs for the months, and also keep aside some funds for emergency that might occur during this period that you would be buying bitcoin regularly, so that you don't go and sell your bitcoin when an emergency rise. You cam also have a reserve funds, then any left over, you can use it to buy bitcoin regularly weekly or monthly.

You should be consistent and persistent with your bitcoin accumulation so that you don't skip any week or month, because that will slow than your bitcoin investment from growing with time-line. You don't need to wait just get started after you have figured out how much you can invest in bitcoin that would not affect other expenses. The DCA method gives you the opportunity to buy bitcoin at various price level both at the dip, sideway movement and during the pump. This is is best option for you, and if you get started after a long period of time you will be happy that you took the bold step. If you keep waiting and bitcoin price did not dip to 50k, it means that you won't be able to buy and you will miss out the opportunity of increasing your bitcoin portfolio, and you will regret it, because bitcoin price increases with time-line, and the profits of buying now.
