Yeah, I'm very optimistic price will be dragged down for correction. It may not get to my pending order but certainly I believe it will go way below the price I sold. It's only going to take my time and test my patience (crypto is a game of patience) but I'm prepared for the wait this week.

The first thing I do once I discover anyone with this mindset to whose channel I had subscribed is to exit immediately. Nobody knows it all in this industry and anyone who flaunts that they're all too knowing isn't worthy to be followed. Trading and investment are purely speculative. There isn't a certitude to whatever that happens. We follow TAs and FAs to navigate it, yet we know that every analysis shouldn't be taken as a guarantee.

I've been caught in that web too. I believe while people do that is to increase the quantity they're hodling. Sadly, in some cases it backfires and they won't be lucky to buy back at the sold price. Such is life. As I type this, I've two alts I took this same risk on last week. I'm still waiting to rebuy, hopefully price declines below the price I sold.

The annoying part is that the so-called experts hardly accept that they're wrong with the calls they make once it goes awry. They quickly find another technical jargon to justify why it didn't go the way they predicted in the first place. Gullible traders and investors will quickly accept the excuse.

I wouldn't use "Hope" in the sense that you used it. Rather, saying "clairvoyant" should be more appropriate for those who believe in Bitcoin. Those of us (yours sincerely is among) who see what they saw when Bitcoin was just newly birthed should have them to thank for such perception. Those who are queuing now to join in the bright number of Bitcoin lovers and fans also should applaud those of us who didn't back down when we heard the gospel of Bitcoin. In all, we continue to express our optimism with certainty that Bitcoin will even gain more value in future. So, we keep the faith and buy more to hodl.

Hope isn't the currency of our support for Bitcoin in this forum. It's conviction. We know what Bitcoin is and know that it's a great access not to miss owning.

If you're into those and you're successful at two out of the three, trust me you're good to go financially. Trading is a very lucrative profession. It allows one enough time to plan one's life activities, it allows one ease of moving around at one's choosing and it also gives one financial freedom once one has a handle on it. What else can one ask for?

I know the panic and discomfort that causes. Some time in 2021 the misinformed government of my country also did the same by banning crypto activities. It was even an issue moving on the streets with any phone that has trading apps on it for fear of being stopped and searched my police. It became a legal tussle but all that is in the past now. That ban has been relaxed. I hope the same happens in your country so you guys can trade peacefully.

If the risk you're referring to here is about Bitcoin dumping, you should rest your mind. Yes of course Bitcoin will dump from time to time but that isn't something anyone who's into long term investment should be worried of. The risk for me for your kind of investment will be in the likelihood of you losing access to the wallet you will save the Bitcoin for your child through your own carelessness that will lead to either loss of password/PKey or wallet hack by a foreign body. Other than that, go ahead and invest in the future of your child. Bitcoin is a veritable investment.

Well, I don't know if there's any other way the BTTsupernotifier bot works besides notifying users whenever they're mentioned in the forum. I don't think that bot is engineered to follow or monitor users. It's for mention. There's another bot in the forum that also monitors bounties – https://t.me/btt_bounty. If you're looking to follow a particular user, the way I do mine is to constantly check up their profile for new threads or posts. If it's to follow topics started in threads, just click on "watch" and you will automatically get notifications whenever someone replies in that thread.

Incidentally, that's the price to pay for such tech advancement. Anything with advantages has its demerits too. Recently, off this forum though, I've been reading how well a certain Chatgp Al has been performing and dishing great stuff. Humanity, at some point, will have a serious competition with computer intelligence. Nonetheless, I trust theymos will come up with an idea that can put all this Al activities on the forum at bar. We need real humans to chat and post here, not some Al. By the way, nothing judges a situation better than human analysis. Look at those sampled posts from alleged Al and see how off point they're because of the lack of emotional perspective to those comments.

Yes, that escaped me when I addressed OP earlier because I wanted to comment on it. I hope OP was only being hyperbolic concerning their frustration in losing access to their account. I hope it ends just at that and not a real life situation that they actually lost a child.

OP, if you're reading this, you should copiously state your case. Like user Smartvirus stated above we don't even know the true case of your ban. Could you state it with reference links.

I can tell how that frustration is, having suffered it once for a careless slip I made. It's depressing to say the least. I don't know the facts of OP's case as they didn't table the exact thing that happened. However, I would encourage them to make their appeal revealing to showcase what good they've been able to do as contribution to the forum.

I'm even wondering why it took OP a month before their appeal. I guess they already have that defeatist mindset or they believe they've repeatedly done this wrong and now realized they aren't likely to get pardon.

Perhaps OP is on permanent log in. It doesn't matter once a user set their account to permanently remain logged in because that account will show active whenever he opens that tab but he won't be able to post from it.

I'm not surprised seeing this type of threads. I believe I've commented on a similar one last week or so. We always get to see this sort whenever the market is in an upward rally. Responding to whether Bitcoin has potential for the future or not will be stating the obvious. Of course, isn't that the reason its price keeps bumbling upward whenever it goes down. Those who believe in its potential don't hesitate to buy back once there's slight price correction.

Loss is a part of business and trading. Every other business has those who suffer losses also. So, it's not a Bitcoin thing pers se.

Sorry, you missed my point. However, the bottom line is that even if it were just a single merit splashed on such it still doesn't mean it's a constructive post. Those who do it know what inspires them but certainly I don't think it's quality. Don't get me wrong again, I ain't one to direct or say how users should splash their merit. If for anything, I'm one who believes that meriting posts is more of a subjective exercise than an objective one. Once users aren't trading merit or abusing it, I don't think there's any infringement on how one should spend their merit.

Yes, even if it's not like a tree; it will still be ok provided those caught in such act will be quoted or mentioned. This will help rejig them to awareness. Perhaps, some of them may have forgotten they have merit or on the essence of distributing it. I ain't talking of inactive members here. I ran through some of the usernames there and those I'm talking about are still very much active till date. So, it's not as if some type of abandoned account with lots of merit in it. That can't be distributed.

I side with you on this. A few times that I took a critical look at some users I wanted to merit when I had enough, I saw that some had too much posts and activities but zero merit. I checked their post histories only to discover that they were heavily populated with bounty reports. It discouraged me from even meriting one or two of their posts that weren't bounty reports. To now send merits to such users simply because they won some sorts of competitions shouldn't be encouraged at all.

In all sincerity, I don't believe that. Meriting posts is as subjective as emotions go. I've seen heavy shitposts get merited, even by those we feel are excellent posters. Again; still on the matter, tell me what is constructive or quality about meriting OP of signature or bounty campaigns? Some of us do this as our emotions move us and not necessarily because those posts serve any genuine or constructive purpose.

Well, I don't think showcasing this helps the forum. Rather it could be depressive if you asked me. It's kind of discouraging to see from the trees members who garnered so much merits but still didn't distribute them, even after 150 days. Does it mean they haven't found deserving posts to splash those merits on. I thought we're to hoard or hodl only Bitcoin and not merit. Hoarding of merit wasn't theymos' plan from the beginning. Why users do it beats my comprehension.

I know it's a hypothetical situation you're trying to create here but can we also raise the bar for the new rank requirement to say 2,990 merits (or anything that should be above what you already have). You escaped the first cutoff, you shouldn't escape another one 🤔. Again, to tell you the truth, what you're suggesting concerning the legendary rank that were airdropped 1,000 merits will also need to be applied on lower ranks that were airdropped merits too. Don't you now see how confusing it will turn the whole forum? By the way, who is going to devote the time to gather all that data?

On this, I've a friend who has invested so much in this industry but has stylishly left Bitcoin out despite my emphasis to him that Bitcoin was a must have. In his conception – Bitcoin doesn't give me much profit as altcoins do. He's right. The major thing that makes a lot of people invest in Bitcoin is because it's the most guaranteed coin not to scam or disappear into thin air. If you talk of ROI, just give it to credible alts (one has to be extremely lucky to get such anyway). Take for instance, invest the same cash it will cost you to buy 1 BTC into an alt like BNB or Shiba. By the time Bitcoin moves $5k, go figure out what any of those Alts will be.

This isn't even something of "lately". It was the conception during the early days of the tremendous achievement of BNB like I stated earlier that led to investors rushing and buying them. Sadly, most of those exchange coins didn't perform well. I think there's no much catch in that direction now, except if BNB is able to record another ATH and then investors will begin to chase cheaper ones with the expectation that it will also do what BNB is doing.

Well, you've to be mindful of what exchange you're buying from. Don't invest in exchanges with low rating.

They let it fall because they want the ilks of you and I to buy in cheap. Also, that fall allows for redistribution of wealth and hodling. Weak hands are taken out for freshers to get onboard. You should see the dip as a good thing. Don't whine on it. Utilize the moment whenever the opportunity calls and DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) on it.

Ludicrous dude, you're 😂. Nobody has the power to command that obedience. Not even Putin or the North Korea dude. Even when you hold a gun to people's head, there are still some that we hide and sell.

I don't think age will be anyone's limitation going into Bitcoin investment. Rather, we should be looking at ignorance, lack of interest and exposure to the current happenings or illiteracy; not age. There's a user here who is well into his 70s (I don't want to mention his name). So, you see that getting into Bitcoin isn't about age. Interest is the first thing. To get people interested in Bitcoin or any other investment, talk more about what they stand to gain from it. Tell your folks that Bitcoin is an asset that appreciates like land. Old folks understand land better.
