I'm completely at a loss as to what your statement meant. The ambiguity therein has make us not understand what is been said, whether to you or to another different person. Would you mind explaining it again?

Saying horrible is even putting it mildly. 26 BTC isn't a mean amount. That's a substantial amount of cash to lose, even in today's world, it's huge.

China tried it in 2017 (that was my first experience) with a ban. I saw how that panned out and how the market shook then. However, there's nothing much that happened after a while as the market reshaped after a slope and picked from then after the Chinese ban that saw many exchanges leave China, including Binance. Today, whenever I hear a country is trying to ban Bitcoin I ask what is there for them to achieve other than noise. For all I care, India can go ahead and flex its muscles. Nothing much will come out of its noise.

You're seeing a doji that shows you reversal pattern and you're complaining that it's not a normal wick? What have you come to the wilderness to behold? That type of wick is something many a trader don't like missing for anything because it gives a clear indication of what next to follow. The best way to maximize its use (for me) is to trigger your trade when you notice that the upper or lower candle movements have been exhausted. Well, going forward, I guess you should visit babypips.com to read up on candle patterns.

I can't even remember the last time I did a Bitcoin withdrawal on Binance. I usually do a tether or BUSD conversion to get out my cash. Sell it and then buy Bitcoin ago to be transferred to my choice wallet. Yes, I know it takes a little more time to do all that but the inconveniences is worth it.

OP, congratulations on your newly found love for Bitcoin and the initiation of buying it with gifted cash for the Xmas. Keep it up and keep "DCAing" on it as we are bound to have a continued dip this 2023.

There won't be any more excitement when that speculative nature isn't there. To tell you the truth what excites the community is the speculation around Bitcoin. Remove speculation from this industry and you will have it muted. Look at how the stablecoins are. There's no excitement there. People want where they will place their money in expectation that it will come out with a better ROI.

Invariably, OP should know that speculation is an ongoing thing in this crypto industry. It can't be dead.

It's a give or take situation but it will depend on the understanding of both you and those you're selling your services to. I mentioned understanding because of the fluctuation in value that is often the case with Bitcoin transactions. To resolve this, both parties should check the value when it was sent out and not when it was received. That's the method I use when transacting in Bitcoin. So, to that effect I make bold to say the question you seek response to is already answered. Go ahead and accept Bitcoin for your business. It's feasible and easy to transact with.

The right time is now. The simple reason being that for a coin that once rose to $69k but it's currently trading at $16k+ is a giveaway. Anyone who's still dilly-dallying on whether to buy or not isn't doing themselves any good at all. I would rather DCA on Bitcoin than keep expecting that price will crash more and hit bottom and then miss out of buying it. So, OP should buy now and don't foot drag on it.

Trust me, as easy and conspiratory as what I will say is, it's not far from the truth. If badges for reporting posts are given to members who report them, that will scare some users posting where they think these reporters frequent, especially posters who are less than average. There will be members who will consciously want to steer clear of intruding eyes just like a lot of low ranked members like staying away from Meta.

Until the last quarters of this year, I expect 2023 to be bearish and that will be in preparation for the anticipated halving of 2014. I don't see much happening this year with Bitcoin price and investors profiting from it. Only those who engage in margin trading will benefit from the slope that will continue to hit this industry as taking shorts will save the day.

I know we're merely speculating here but I believe Bitcoin price is likely to get to that point of $48,000, even before the last quarters of 2023 (which is where I expect bullishness). However, it's in 2024 that I envisage the main bull rally that will get price crossing $100k. I quoted that price from a calculative evaluation of the last two Bitcoin halvings and how price soared then. It's not as a wild guess. From $19k+ in 2017 to $68k+ in the last ATH in 2021. The price difference was much and so shall it be in the coming ATH.

Honestly speaking, I long expected that price will stay down around the holidays and that's simply because this is the period most investors tend to take out profit to be with families. Holidaying with families involves spending cash. Going forward, I expect price to continue to rally down throughout this January. Any bullish momentum observed should be seen as a bull trap.

How will it be 100% for the entire report of 5059 posts while 5,000 as said to be good and 38 are marked as bad report?

Lol... But of course, they don't always have to agree with you since we all aren't homogeneous in our thoughts. However, if they agree with you more than they disagree with you it means you're doing something right and that should be the consolation. I'm far behind on this report thing. Nevertheless, I think I should pay more attention to it this year.

That revelation threw up deep reflection (for me) on what issues we pass through in real life but unannounced online. I give kudos to Yahoo on how efficient and effective he has continued to manage campaigns despite what he's going through.

Yes, you can say that again. It was a pleasant surprise for us Nigerians and it couldn't have come at a better time than it did. I'm sure a lot of peeps in our community will continue to remember that. Again, by that act , theymos displayed to the community that he has a listening ear. While to the Naija community, it shows what endurance and perseverance can do.

Happy New Year, colleagues and friends!

I wish every member of this campaign a fulfilled 2023. May whatever goals and aspirations that we desired in 2022 but which eluded us be easily met this 2023. Did I hear a resounding, Amen?

BestChange, I remain grateful to you and your entire team for an opportunity you afforded me being in this campaign. You've continued to remain an outstanding manager. I wish your company more ROI and exposure this 2023!

I wish

It's another fresh year! Felicitations mes amies 🤗, permit my passable French. It feels like it was just yesterday that I said happy new year to usher in 2022 but it's a full circle completed and now, here we're again in 2023. How time flies. It's another 365 days completed.

I wish everyone here, including myself, longevity and a prosperous 2023 in good health.

You're right. I share the same kindred spirit with you on this. For me the most active SM is telegram in relation to cryptos, that's if that counts for anything at all because we've a lot of scammers on it. I've a Reddit, Twitter and Discord accounts but I can't remember the last time I got on them. It doesn't even seem like I miss anything not frequenting them because I get enough tutorials here.

Now, I look back with nostalgia in respect to this thread question. I actually didn't buy the first Bitcoin (actually, sats) I got. It was something like a payment from user @lenny_ and that was barely four weeks I joined this forum. I didn't even know how to get out a wallet address and send 🤦. It was 0.001 BTC which was worth $1 at the time. I was genuinely overjoyed because of the first time experience. It was like winning a lottery for me. That same amount is worth over $16 today, despite the current falling market.

Don't cross your heart or make an oath on that. You never can tell how people react to the invention of things and that's why on the hindsight we tend to regret actions we didn't take. A few years (over a decade, anyway) I can recollect making a suggestion to a paper company I worked for to also have a hard copy version of what it ran online, owing to how Nigerians reacted to online stuff then towards newspapers. There was low patronage for stuff like that then. Now fast forward to date, we know how voracious Nigerians have become towards online news and gists. How many people buy hard copy newspapers this day in Nigeria? Most people now get their news and gists online, on soft copy.

You know what they say about Rome not being built in a day or that it's droplets of water that makes an ocean? That's the way it's. It's a gradual process. What matters is that the process has already begun.

Well, I don't think it's. However, even if it's what you think but you find it merit worthy, I don't think there's anything stopping anyone or even you from meriting the post though.

Nah, that's not necessary.

With time, they will come around it and may likely embrace the option more than fiat. The concept behind the workings of Bitcoin is one enough to fascinate anyone. However, my worry in all these payment with Bitcoin thing is how likely are those who aren't Bitcoin hodlers going to continue to get Bitcoin for the sole purposes of making just payment without using it for basic trading and other stuff. I say this because of the volatility of Bitcoin and how $50 could easily become $20 within hours.

You're still making the same mistake. Why are you tagging it to one Bitcoin. Why don't you just ask if they own Bitcoin (sats) without attaching it to quantity. The way I reason this is like bestowing wisdom on a man simply because he's wealthy. So, you get to judge and accept what people say now and think it's correct based on the fact that they own 1 Bitcoin or once owned it? Do we treat people based on what they have or on who they're?
