Why not? Every dip is a buying opportunity. Those "triangles" and other chart readings might not be always the same or what you think. Hence, just buy when you see a dip. It is going to be okay even if its a bad "buy" - you know, since you are going to invest only what you can afford to lose. That's the golden rule right?
If the dip was the last buying opportunity, people would start regretting a lot. What if the "$25k" you are expecting never happens? You would keep on waiting an event that is never going to occur and miss all opportunities.

You can't compare Ethereum and Bitcoin. They are both two different coins/platform with different use cases. Both of them are considered to be really good when it comes to their use cases. If you are talking about which coin is going to be the best to invest in, then go for both. Try investing more than half in bitcoin (long term will give you profit) and rest in ether. But people keep on saying that Ethereum is undervalued.
More stable than ethereum? In what sense? They both fluctuate a lot. Yes, bitcoin is somewhat more popular than ethereum, but it's not like no one has heard of ethereum or anything. If you say altcoins, the first thing that might come to a persons mind is ethereum. In fact both are equally popular.

I don't gamble much, but I guess it depends on how people feel at that moment i.e. their mood. Some people likes to place solo bets and then there are others that like to join a competition and compete against each other. Hence, you will see most of the casino has some sort of challenge or contest that everyone can join, compete and get rewarded. It's a different kind of amusement, you know.
You don't want to ask your friends to place bets for you. I mean unless they are someone who is very chill with you, you should never tell anyone else to do it on your behalf. What if you lose big? Your "friend" is going to feel guilty or you will end up blaming him. What if you win big? You "friend" might think he deserve the win. Don't ever tell some random friend to place bets on your behalf.

We can never predict what's the future of bitcoin. It may become the digital currency that everyone wanted. It maybe the only currency that is used by everyone, replacing fiat. Or it maybe the exact opposite. It may turn out to be something disappointing. Maybe we will find a huge flaw that will make bitcoin completely obsolete. Probably a new currency or technology might be invented that will be far superior than blockchain and bitcoin. All I am trying to say is that you may never know what's going to happen in the future. Maybe things will be the same the next decade, maybe not.

They had their chance, they didn't take it. They still have a chance, yet they are just complaining and whining how they missed the opportunity. Again there are those that missed the boat and are now just bashing crypto currencies in every possible way. It's just because they regret. Everyone still has their opportunity. Instead of investing in some random shitty altcoins, they can invest those money in bitcoin (no need to hold one whole bitcoin!) and make some good profit in the long run.
If he wants to hold bitcoin for long term, then the fee is nothing compared to the long term gains. Your friend is just being prejudiced against bitcoin.

Yeah too early to tell, but based  on current situation, if it comes to using it as a regular currency to make day to day transaction, then no, it is unfortunately not better than fiat. Of course the technology behind crypto currencies is very innovative and impressive, there are still some drawbacks that are making crypto inferior when compared to fiat. We all know fiat is BS, but this is what everyone is using due to its flexibility and mass people have accepted it.
Like you said, transaction speed and mining fees along with few other things are what is making crypto less attractive when compared to fiat (talking about small transaction).

So why all these coins? The list you have looks really uncanny. Why isn't ETH on the list? If you are looking for altcoins, I would say keep ETH on the top. People say ETH is very highly undervalued and the price can go up anytime once some changes/adjustments are made.
On other hand, there are coins on the list that I doubt anyone has heard of. Investing on those are very risky. Again, you really sure XRP should be on your top list? People are hoping XRP will win the lawsuit and the price will skyrocket. But that chances of that happening with few months is rare. Who knows if another issue comes up with XRP.

You should realize that "unhealthy" holding obsession is actually bad for people. This kind of mentality sometimes has a negative health impact. If you see that the price is rising and you have reached your profit goal, there is nothing wrong in selling your bitcoin. If you see that the price is dropping and is bothering you a lot. You can sell it at a loss and move on. You can maybe try again later. If this keeps on repeating, then you should stop investing once you realize that crypto investment isn't for you. This should rarely happen though since you know how the market works and on contrast weren't you supposed to invest only what you could afford to lose?

Wait that crap still exists? If you google "Pi coin legit", you will see hundreds of result saying that the Pi network is a scam. You should delete that shitty app right away. It's more like a ponzi/MLM thing where you have to invite more friends to get more coins and shit. As far as I know, they don't even have a working chain, and you don't even know what they are actually mining using your phone. They probably are using your phones hardware to mine some other coins or maybe they are just mining your data and selling it to some third party companies.
It's a crap project. Delete it and if you have invited others, tell them to do the same.

Yup, there are a lot of coins in circulation, but how many of them are actually very popular and has an active community? Very few. Crypto market is mostly a decentralized market and no one can stop anyone from making a new coin. Even though new coins pop up everyday, only few manages to survive. Again, most of them them are made to scam people by making false promises or just manipulating the price. Some people are aware of this and tries to take advantage of the pump and dump. Only few selected coins that has actual use case and active community are the ones that are leading. And good working pointing out the factors that will actually help people to figure out which coin is better!

Look, there is no way you will be able to beat the house. The house has an edge and in the long run, it is the casino that will win. The best strategy is to stop as soon as you make profit and never to come back. But alas, people always tend to come back. Strategies or "trick and tips" won't help you make profit. These are games of chances and your outcome depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you will win. If you are unlucky, you will lose everything. Most of the time you will be unlucky.
But some strategies might help you control your losses and help you manage your balance better.

If you are talking about the short term risk/reward ratio, then you are correct, the higher the price goes, the higher the chance of it falling back. But if it's going to be long term investment, no matter when you invest, you will eventually get profit as long as you don't sell them at a loss.
People can always buy fractions of a coins, don't forget that. But this is also true, less buyers enters the market. Hence, this is also why market correction is an healthy event. No matter how much people hate market corrections, it creates a chance for more buyers to enter the market and helps the price go even higher.

Your government isn't going to be the first one then. I have seen very few other countries that have banned bitcoin. I am just wondering, how are they going to ban it? It is almost impossible to do so. There is no way they can track each  and every citizen who are using bitcoin (unless banks are involved). So even if they do ban bitcoin, won't you guys be able to do P2P trading like the way bitcoin was supposed to be traded?

When you say "he is associated with some scam", it sounds so wrong. Feels like you are implying that it's his fault lol. Anyway, this isn't something new. I still don't get it, how come people fall for this kind of scams? Don't they read the news or do any diggings before sending their money? I mean if I were to invest some huge amount of money, I would start googling and look for information.
If they are this stupid thinking that they will get quick money from Elon, then they sadly deserve to get scammed. At least it will teach them a lesson!

Don't go for strategies. You will lose everything. Plinko is a game where the outcome is dependent purely on your luck. Applying strategies won't help you to win anything. You have options to change your difficulty as far as I know. If you want to win something big, go for the "hard" difficulty. If you want to play safe, go for "low".
Maybe try to make small amount of profit through low difficulty and then use your profit to score something big on the "hard" difficulty? Nonetheless, as soon as you make your profit, quit. If you keep on playing, you will lose everything.

Investing in ethereum makes sense, but why are you recommending other coins like Cardano and NEO? Never even heard of OmiseGo. Don't see anyone talking about Vechain over here. So why exactly do you think these coins are now good for investing?
If you can invest in other crypto currencies, I am sure you can also invest in bitcoin. Remember, you don't have to own one full bitcoins. Holding a fraction of bitcoin is much better than holding a whole bunch of unknown coins.
Are your "unknown" coins really performing better than traditional ones? If they are, then they probably are being manipulated so attract investor. Invest in traditional ones, and you won't regret in the long run.

Didn't VISA and Mastercard say the same thing last year? And then the previous years they put a ban on buying crypto using their cards, right? They all seem so confused and lost. They can't even come up with a perfection solution or a decision. This is so sad (and pathetic) when you see "worlds two largest payment processors" are struggling with taking a proper decision. But then again, I guess it's not them, but the current law and government making everything more complicated for them.

What's wrong if bitcoin or any crypto currencies are used for gambling? It's not wrong if you are gambling with your own money for entertainment purpose. It's only wrong to gamble if you are addicted and about to ruin your life (along with others that are close to you).
Do you know that the total amount of bets placed using fiat currency is higher than all crypto currencies combined? Even more people commit crimes using fiat currency. It's easier for them to use the liquid money.

Financial and economic crashes happen all the time. It's not like it is something new. Unless it is something really serious, the crashes are just short term and usually recovers really fast. Just like last year. Look at what happened to the economy due to the pandemic, but right now. It is very much stable.
And yes, when the economy of a country starts to crash, the fiat value also starts to drop along with the economy. When this usually happens, the price of bitcoin starts to increase. But you won't exactly know when this is going to happen.
Lol, not sure if you are being serious over here.

Completely depends on you and your habit/behavior. For some people trading is more better than investing and for others, it's exactly the opposite. Trading will most likely give you some quick profit in short period of time. The better you are at trading, the more profit you will be making. But with those high profit comes high risk. Make one mistake, you will likely end up making a huge loss. On other hand, investing/holding is more like something passive. Something that you don't have to worry about. You invest, sit back and relax. When you reach your profit goal, you are done. It's less riskier when compared to trading!
