I do agree that bitcoin doesn't look to be losing that first place that easily. I cannot guarantee that it will stay at the top, nobody can guarantee such a thing but it is quite difficult for it to go down as well.

It would have to be something major not just the coin that passes it needs to be something major and going through something huge, but at the same time bitcoin should be going down for a reason, it needs to be having some troubles. Thinking about it, if ETH 2.0 comes along, and we move there, and at the same time Bitcoin gets a very bad news, then maybe ETH could pass but even that would be very tough to do, let alone any other coin that is barely in top 10 these days.

I can't speak on his behalf and I do not know OP and maybe he is lying or maybe he is telling the truth. But I can tell you that Bitcoin did changed my life and I did more than double my investment in bitcoin. Which is why I love it so much, it allowed me to go from poverty and bottom life to a life of "ease".

I am in no means a rich person, I still have to pay so much and I am barely surviving these days because of some personal things, but at the end of the day I have some money saved aside and if I ever wanted to use that, I would be able to just simply sell them and I would pay everything and have a great few more months on top of it. I just don't because I am looking to live years, even a decade with that money eventually.

He already states his reason and that is he is not an expert but when it comes to prediction I think no one is right or wrong so you don't need to become an expert just to predict the price of the coins and even the so called experts or self proclaimed experts, they themselves do also fails or gives unrealistic prediction about the price of btc.

Other than not being an expert I think he also wants to invest in cryptos but first, he wants to know the opinion of others about the price before he decides to buy. No one gets curious for no important reason and if they aren't interested to btc then they will not bother asking these kinds of questions.

They (the pro traders) do experience the losses too. The difference with someone who is a pro trader is the fact that they have become well experienced in the market and they know the right time to trade  and when to stay out.

But, most of the newbies don’t know that; they do not know that there are times you should avoid trading in the market, and they don’t know how to follow the news or the sources to look for it, and they have no idea about technical analysis. All these things are crucial for the success of a day trader.

I think that's is because the competition is now big and many people now know cryptos and all wants to get free money from the airdrops. This is also the reason why the rewards were halved. It is normal for rewards to get delayed because projects are still undergoing on some phases like sale, listing, and others.

If you are not patient enough to wait then this is not for you. It is totally wrong to use money that is intended for daily use because what if you lose that? you and your family are going to be hungry. It's also wrong to borrow and to invest because there is no assurance that we can accumulate a profit in a short amount of time to pay for our loans.

Dogecoin being overhyped right now and overvalued is a basic knowledge that we all know. However, I agree that it is not a thing that will be long gone for a long time, it is obvious that we are talking about something that has been here for many many years and I doubt that it would be gone anytime soon neither.

We need to realize the fact that crypto has been a great thing for a long time and doge was a part of its history, for a long time, since 2013 I believe. So, Shiba is something created out of Elons hype, and half of it given away to do marketing and nothing else, it is a fake coin that has fake creators who wanted to get rich, nothing more. I dislike doge but respect it, I do not even respect shiba.

Honestly the problem is not that they are making some sort of garbage soup together with all the indicators and all that, I am talking about people who put everything in there and making a situation that is a mess but may work. The real problem is that people who have no idea how to use these indicators end up using it, and creating a mess because of that, that's the problem.

If you know what you are doing then you could build something that will be a big mix of everything, but at least you know what you are looking at but if you do not know what you are looking at then it shouldn't really be mattering to you at all, makes no sense to me.

I am sure that whales will get a hold of this news soon and make it very difficult to reach that level. I remember back in the day when I wagered somewhere a bit new, not like blackjack.fun because this place is not new anymore and reputed already, and they had this wagering competition and a reward of 0.2 bitcoin at the time, what happened with it?

The whales started to come and the biggest wagering turned from 1.8 bitcoins to like 200 bitcoins for a while, now it's lower again but to like 50-60 bitcoins wagered amount. So, I am sure that more and more people will come, if you tell people they can earn something if they gamble more, there are some who will do that.

Those that will think differently towards the bear means that they have been there before the last bear came out so they now know what to expect it but to those that haven't been here with us, they will feel nervous and afraid on their first bear market but like everyone else, this feeling can slowly be adjusted as the time passes by because they can gain more confidence in cryptos in the long run.

It's not the cryptos that grows every year but it was the number of crypto users because as you can see, we have years where the price remains stagnant and sometimes the bear can last for one whole year. Crypto prices still have an improvement overall.

If only you know how much we dislike it too, you will feel satisfied thinking you are not alone but so many people are also against it.

CBDCs are like a counter to cryptos because they operate oppositely as to how crypto works but I think there is no need to worry thinking that people will convert to it because the reason why they are already here in cryptos is because they don't like how banking system works. They don't like the traditional money because it has some disadvantages over cryptos and no need to compare other countries to el salvador because they are too far from it since this country not only adopt btc but they also made it as a legal tender.

I do agree that there is a good chance that we could end up with Russialess type of energy in the future. I mean the tech is there, we just need to invest into both making it a better version of it, and also manufacture it a lot more.

Do we really think that we have to rely on any nation for the next 10+ years? Cars will be all electric, and I am sure that they will even be made out of material that will absorb sun as well, or even run further with the energy itself creates as well, so electric cars will be disregarding oil needs for a long time. We may get some from other nations for niche requirements but the fact that cars will be purely electric is more than enough.

Sol might have a better market cap but I think matic is more popular than it. Matic is the third best alternative next to eth and binance coin but both matic and sol are still safe and good for long term investment especially matic since matic didn't experience to burst yet but maybe it will in the upcoming future. Sol is an old project and I don't think it has something to do with the metaverse.

Matic on the other hand is much newer than sol and I think it's also not related to metaverse but there are metaverse projects that are good enough and they prolly can last long. For the most of them especially to newer ones, you should be careful and always stay updated so that you can get out quickly before they collapse.

Me too, I would go with buying the Bitcoins. But in the case of mining, if you’re going to be covering the cost of electricity and maintenance, then the others are not really that much of a challenge, is it?

Except in a situation where it is illegal in your country, in that case you should totally avoid mining, and just stick with only buying and holding. At least you are going to make your profit when the market grows. But what I like about mining is the steady profit that you’re always going to be generating from it.

Freedom is not a complex word but everyone can easily understand it. When you have bitcoin, it doesn't automatically mean that you can now do anything that you wanted to do but there are still some restrictions and besides, not all country legalizes the use of bitcoin. That simply means that the government itself still has the control. Criminals can prefer bitcoins, due to the fact that its transactions are anonymous and irreversible which is perfect for their shady activities. This is why many governments are still against the use of bitcoin. We can use bitcoin but we should use it in a legal way so that we won't experience any problems.

I will advise you to start with the coins you know, I believe you know about Bitcoin, Ethereum , and other top coins if you have made your research. You should start with these coins, I believe that they are going to be a good choice for you to start with, instead of looking for new projects that you are not yet sure about what they would be like in the future. So try to make the right choice, start with the top coins in the market and later you can decide whether to trade any other coin.

And you are right for sure, Binance is the best exchange for you to start with. It has been around for a long time, and it is one of the exchanges that has the highest trading volumes in the market, so it’s definitely what you should go with for now.

But, what if they fake their records? It's easy for someone to do it online but what would their motive be if they will do that. Only to make someone else lose? But I don't think they can get a benefit of doing that. Ah I know, maybe, they fake their records and then sell some books or courses but for our safety, it's better to buy only on the official stores and always check if they are verified.

Hiring a mentor will make things easier for a newbie but one must prepare a good amount of money because they can be a little costy. If we are poor, we have no choice but to go on the traditional and hard way. That's fine though and they say that the hard way is more beneficial.

The profits that a coin/token would bring to an exchange depends on how much it is traded, the more it is traded the more trading fee people spend on trading it and that's how people make money, the less traded it becomes the less money it will bring.

Considering there is a cost involved with such a listing, that means exchanges needs to keep the volume at a certain level to keep it traded, otherwise there are zero situations where they would see it worthy, a very low trading volume means money lost on those projects and exchanges eventually cut the losses and move on. Obviously it is not what they would prefer, they would love to keep it and make money but sometimes it is not possible.

Such a news does not really move the market, although I would say it is because that the countries that has been adopting cryptocurrency so far are not really like the big countries in the world, and is just some small countries, which is El Salvador, Central African Republic and Panama. So, these countries are not really like the world powers, and are just smaller countries.

So, their adoption is not really making any impact at all. Let’s say for example that the US decides to adopt it as a legal tender, I believe that it will really have an effect in the market for sure.

That is why it's not advised to buy the coin when its price is high but if ever you already buy the coin at a high price and then it dumps, the best thing that you can do is to strongly hold it and pray that the price will recover and rise soon.

You can get some returns in staking but that is not enough to recover what you have lost buying at highs. On staking I heard that stable coins can also be used, I think this is one is much better since there's no need to worry that the price will drop in the future. Many people considered this more than the volatile cryptos. It's nice that stable coins are now more useful than before. Now people won't hate stable coins anymore.

I believe that that’s because there isn’t much effort being put into stopping people from drunk driving. Such issues as that should be looked into and solved. There should be rules being put in place as a way to reduce such events from occurring.

And I believe that when the government starts to do what they really meant to do, such as this kind of law that they have implemented, it is really going to help in reducing the rate of loss. but more should be done, and I believe we as the people should also do our best in making sure that such things are avoided.
