I wouldn't want to bet on either of the teams to win as they are both Inform and PSG seem to be prioritizing this game above that which they will be playing in their local league before the champions league fixture, although its very certain to a far extent they would win but I think their priority would be the champions league fixture ahead.

And PSG recent win is a boost for them as they achieved that without mbappe who happens to be a key player for them. Newcastle aswell have a boost in their moral due to their most recent wins and this will definitely make predictions really difficult as both teams seem very ready and strong enough to contend in the game well enough.

A better prediction I will suggest will be on the number of goals, since both teams stand very prepared it will be a hard one for them both as neither of them will be willing to give the other an easy play so the number of goals to be scored in that game may most likely be minimal.
I think the match was quite tough for PSG because they had to travel to St James Park stadium in their second match in the Champions League. Newcastle United is not a weak team because they were able to stop AC Milan in the first match to get full points, so PSG looks like they will have difficulty getting 3 points in this match.

Currently, Mbappe is injured and it looks like this will affect PSG performance in this match. If Mbappe has not recovered completely before this match starts then this could be a big loss for PSG. I think Newcastle United is slowly showing good performance in their game this season.  I hope Newcastle United can win this match because if they succeed, the competition in Group F will definitely be even more exciting.

I don't think it's fair to say Lampard brought Chelsea apart, because Chelsea's situation was like that before he was appointed coach. The reason I say that is because he came at a time when things were not good, the players he had were inherited from the previous coach and also the opportunity he did not have much because he came when the season was about to end. Indeed he did not have a positive impact after he was appointed coach, but we also have to look at the situation when he joined.
We have to forget Lampard, he doesn't have long experience to become a top coach, but Lampard is a big legend at Chelsea as a player, not as a coach. Even this season Chelsea also failed to show their changes in terms of their game because they failed in several matches which made their ranking stuck in 14th position in the standings.

Several players who were brought in failed to shine well enough to provide progress for Chelsea game this season. Pochettino, who served as Chelsea coach this season, seems to have failed in carrying out his duties properly, because in 6 matches Chelsea was only able to achieve 1 win, and that happened when Chelsea faced Luton.

But I have a question for all of you who regularly visit this topic. With the high probability of a recession coming in many regions of the world, do you actually believe that Bitcoin will not be affected by the crash of the legacy markets?

Plus if you do believe that a legacy crash will also cause a Bitcoin crash, wouldn't it be a good idea to wait for the DIP?

It doesn't need an answer. It's something for each of us to evaluate in our own "shower thoughts".
In times of knowing if crash in legacy market can affect Bitcoin or not or economic recession, in my own observation economic recession can help increase the demands for Bitcoin were  as most people are not sure or uncertain of what will be the out come of there economy they tend to look for an alternative to store there money and Bitcoin could be the only alternative as such bringing higher demand in Bitcoin.

Also legacy market crash could only affect Bitcoin if there are liquid crisis in the market such as lack of money in the legacy were as it becomes very difficult for investor to buy a large quantity of Bitcoin due to the lack of money on the overall legacy market then it becomes a challenge for Bitcoin.
The level of recession in parts of the world continues to increase every year and continues, which has a big impact on the people's economy. But you have to know that we are in the modern era and those out there understand the level of world progress in the current modern era. So the level of recession will not have a bad impact for the online industry sector. Now for Bitcoin, I think Bitcoin has gone through many bad periods from various disasters that occurred such as Covid and in fact Bitcoin has absolutely no effect or causes the price of BTC to fall, because this is based on buying interest which occurs continuously even though the country/region is in lockdown. However, several surveys say that public interest continues to grow quite high in Bitcoin. That's the solid foundation of Bitcoin, so don't expect Bitcoin to have a big crash because of the recession that occurred, maybe a small correction and quickly restore the situation.

Bitcoin is an investment alternative that is being favored by entrepreneurs, Business people and large companies in the world. For example, MicroStrategy has accumulated more BTC recently. Of course, that is the answer if they are not afraid of a recession occurring in other parts of the region, they even say Bitcoin is a better investment for now.

Beginners or those who are continuously learning Bitcoin they have big ambitions to have some BTC in their portfolio. So are they wrong, of course they already know that Bitcoin is a more promising investment for this modern era. DCA has always been their solution and I assume that if they continue to be haunted by the bad factors of economic decline in a region then they will continue to be afraid of making investments in any form. That thought must be avoided and I also agree with Wind_FURI opinion, if you have a strong funding level then wait for Dips, and act aggressively in accumulating BTC.

Seriously, I don't expect Lecce to beat Juventus at Allianz today. Lecce has so far been unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Juventus, who are playing at home, should be able to stop this streak when they are favorites.

We all know that Lecce is a strong team defensively so they have only conceded 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Their striker is also quite dangerous, so far Nikola Krstović has scored 3 goals in 4 matches. Juventus' defense must be wary about Nikola Krstović if they don't want to concede, so there is no real reason why Juventus would underestimate Lecce.
It looks like Juventus will secure a 1-0 lead to maintain until this match is over. I saw Lecce not moving when playing at the Juventus stadium because Lecce so far they have not been able to maintain their balance in this match. Allegri seems to be successful in this match, he rotated players quite wisely, where Vlahovic was not in the starting lineup in this match, but he trusted Milik and Chiesa for the front line and they were able to work quite well.

The match has entered the final minutes, it seems that Lecce is still trying to equalize their position in this match. The final minutes are always crucial if the match is 1-0 up because the slightest mistake can change the position in this match. I think Juventus must play carefully and secure full points in this match to maintain their chances of remaining in the top 4.

Yes and I think the 2 clbs you mentioned are the biggest favorites to win the title this season. Moreover, they are big clubs in their respective leagues. I will comment more on Real Madrid, they are a Champions League regular, and they still hold the record for the most Champions League titles in existence. I have to say this, that they are the club that has the best mentality that I have seen so far, especially if they are in the Champions League.
They are fearsome, and it's not uncommon for them to surprise you.


Aside from them, Manchester City have everything it takes to win the Champions League for a second time, from their backline to their frontline. That's thanks to Pep's success in building the foundation of this club.
For me, I would probably choose Bayern Munich as the strongest candidate this season. They are getting stronger this season, some of them even have to admit that when they meet Bayern Munich, it is like they have an opponent that is impossible for them to beat. Tuchel is slowly being able to make Bayern Munich fans forget about Nagelsmann because of his expertise in making the team stronger this season. A form of quality play was shown by Bayern Munich when they beat Manchester United. Even in that match they could have secured a win with a big score if they were able to maintain their performance in the second half.

For Manchester City or Real Madrid, they have to be wary of the rise of other teams this season, such as Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona was able to provide a surprise in their first match by winning with a big score. I admit that Barcelona could have achieved greater levels of progress this season. Like Newcastle United, they still don't put much pressure on their opponents, but I noticed that they have the ambition to record their best moments this season.

I don't know what is really going on with Napoli currently. They made another point loss this time against Bologna away. Osimhen's missing that penalty was devastating for him and the team both. There is a significant drop in his performance level at the same time. It is really interesting to see this change in the team suddenly.

I mean they started the season really good but here we are. They can't win a game in the Serie A for three weeks. They struggled against Braga in the Champions League as well. Rudi Garcia must be under pressure even more now.
For the owner of Napoli, he really acted ridiculously by releasing Spalletti even though it was only for reasons of vision and mission, but the owner insisted on his principles. Well, look at Napoli's performance under Rudi Garcia where he was unable to win like Spalletti did. I believe the fans will start to shake his position if Rudi Garcia is unable to make big changes in the upcoming match.

Who would have thought that Napoli had experienced big difficulties in the last 3 weeks. They were beaten by Lazio and continued with 2 draws, of course this is not what the fans hoped for. I think they are increasingly under pressure and Napoli next match will be against Udinese. Of course it is an easy match for them because the opposing team is in quite bad condition. But if it fails again, maybe Rudi will really be in quite a depressed condition in his position.

Been issue a red card is not enough reason for Chelsea to lose this game against Aston Villa. Chelsea finding it difficult to win games, scoring goals is big challenge for them, I just can't apprehend the problem of the team, either the fault is from the owner, coach or the players. Chelsea is at their terrible form, currently any average random club have good probabilities to win the blues in league games. Chelsea have no clue on the competitive race they found themselves, they keep losing points against these average sides, they often get me upset but managed to put myself together because they've been like that since last season.
The team that is studded with players with an above average level of quality is Chelsea. But those expectations will never happen because they lose and lose every game. In the 6 matches they have completed, Chelsea only recorded 1 win, which is a bad record for Pochettino. In his career with Chelsea this season, Pochettino was unable to bring about big changes, his performance was almost the same as the previous coach.

This week they again failed to get points and their ranking fell further down the standings. There is not a busy schedule but they are still unable to give their focus to improving this season. I think Chelsea is already a weak team and their opponents can easily beat them. This result made Caicedo et al have to bear the shame because the visiting team easily beat them at the Stamford Bridge stadium.

I was impressed by your statement above "keep buying BTC and revalue your position in 3-5 years from now" and yes. I think the DCA investment model should continue. Well, I want to know. Can Bitcoin get back $34,000 by the end of September 2023?
If you want a price of $34,000 at the end of this month in Bitcoin it may be very difficult for you to find it because currently the price of Bitcoin is still below $27K so you may have to have more time to see a price like that again seen in Bitcoin. Because there is only a week left in this month, it is less possible to expect an increase of $8,000 in just seven days. So it's better for you to continue doing DCA by considering some of the suggestions that are here rather than thinking about prices that still seem difficult to achieve in a very short time.
@bestcoins1, like you already know that Bitcoin has it own potentials, so if the price of Bitcoin can increase up to $34,000 or above we can't tell for now because we still have more days before the end of the months of this September.
It can be difficult to predict the price of Bitcoin but that doesn't mean that Bitcoin can't reach the actually Amount we are not expecting it to reach in the nearest future, as we already know the price of Bitcoin is about $26,500k it is not a big deal for Bitcoin to move above $30k if it wants to move in a skyrocket ways, although I am not yet an investor but I know how impressed Bitcoin can grow sometimes.
The price of Bitcoin will continue to change every day or every hour so the increase in Bitcoin will be followed by an increase in purchasing volume which will make the price of BTC soar up. To find the best entry, only use the DCA method of accumulating BTC throughout the investment we make. For those of you who have just joined the Bitcointalk forum, of course you have a high enough emotional level to expect the price continue to rise at the end of each month. But that is not a bad theory because if you have BTC in your portfolio it will make you more confident in continuing to hold BTC because it is driven by your level of aggressiveness in predicting the price of BTC will rise higher in the coming years.

Every BTC Holder of course hopes for big profits in the investment they make, whether they are old investors or new investors, of course they have the same target in Bitcoin investment. Even in previous years we only viewed BTC as a means of payment online without any stronger knowledge to hold it in the long term. So at the moment I see several users in this thread giving a strong narrative of continuing to hold BTC and never selling it if their target has not been reached. Therefore, as a beginner, you must be able to take advantage of the opportunity you have to buy BTC and hold it in the long term.
2329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 21, 2023, 09:33:33 PM
Jude Bellingham is not only a midfield player; he can also play as a striker. He wants Real Madrid to win every game this season and to become the most renowned team in the world because the absence of Karim Benzema will negatively impact the team. Real Madrid are really fortunate to have a player like Bellingham on their team since, without him, I do not believe that any other Real Madrid player is currently more intelligent than he is.
Yes, you could say, Bellingham has become one of Real Madrid's mainstays this season. And despite this, Real Madrid still needs a striker who can really strengthen the front line. I believe that Bellingham is a multi-talented player who is actually still very young and has a lot of potential. Especially if you look at his contribution in LaLiga. It is undeniable, Bellingham is truly more than we expect.

However, if it was in the Champions League, this might be a little different because after all, there are many big clubs from different leagues that they have to face to become champions. However, without a very strong main striker, this will be quite difficult. As good as Bellingham is, this may not be as optimal as when they had Benzema as the main striker up front at that time. So, if it is possible, Real Madrid still needs a stronger main striker, so that it will be more complete, the midfield will also have Bellingham who will definitely support even more strongly. However, we don't know whether our dreams will actually come true or not. What is certain is that there is still hope, but it cannot be too hopeful.
Bellingham's role in Real Madrid's game this season is quite important. He has quite good skills in organizing attacks and also has a better finishing rate compared to other players. I think he can replace the role left by Benzema because Bellingham is not only a central midfielder but he is like a striker who is full of ambition to continue scoring goals. If you look at Bellingham's statistics at the start of this season, his goal productivity certainly beats Joselu's, as we know, Joselu is a striker.

Thus, Bellingham became Real Madrid's golden boy this season because he was able to provide many of the hopes that Ancelotti wanted, namely delivering wins and victories. If you look at Real Madrid in the Champions League this season, of course they almost had difficulty beating their opponents but Bellingham was able to overcome that. I think if Mbappe comes next season, Bellingham's duo with Mbappe could be quite aggressive on Real Madrid's front line.

Of course that is the most convenient way at the moment but in the future I will readjust how to distribute the budget more evenly and larger on bitcoin investment, as I said I want to increase the strong fund first so that it is safer and stronger for a few months the rest can focus on bitcoin defensively by increasing the DCA.

I believe many of them do that such as 30% bitcoin investment 10% emergency fund the rest of the needs to cover a month, for now it should be more adjusted again and strategize a good budget over the long term for bitcoin investment.

Isn't it for the DCA strategy to walk all the way to not need to think about market sentiment? Because in my opinion this is only temporary while DCA is long-term which continues to run every week.

Even for now I don't need any chart analysis with DCA purchases when the money is ready then I buy no matter what the price is because DCA is buying at an dollar cost average.
Your explanation certainly makes sense because applying the DCA strategy of course you don't have to be skilled at reading charts because you make purchases at every stage when you start. DCA is the most admired strategy for those making long-term investments, either for the next 10 years or 20 years. But basically when there is a question from someone from your relative why you buy at a high price when you can wait to buy at a low price (well in this perception you can give an answer if I will calculate the average purchase entry when I reach the peak to exit at  in the next 10 years) it will make them amazed by your answer.

Well, at the level of adjusting the emergency fund, this is not very important for some people because if they get a weekly income they will adjust the percentage level they will use in Bitcoin investment, even so it will be in line with their concept without any obstacles that can hinder them. On the other hand, if your income does not determine where you pursue odd jobs (sometimes you work or not) of course the level of adjustment for emergency funds is quite necessary so that you don't miss a purchase step. Well, emergency funds are of course prioritized to cover gaps when you don't get income at that time, so you can use emergency funds at that time. Isn't it like that?
2331  Economy / Economics / Re: It ain't meant to be easy on: September 21, 2023, 08:58:35 PM
I think we need the right information, the right knowledge, effort, positive energy, passion, luck, etc. Like in the OP's topic, "it ain't meant to be easy," but at least someone needs those above-listed qualities to surf through. Definitely, it will not be easy, but some times and in some cases, you can diversify a little and try something different, but instead, some people will just keep putting effort into something that can just be fruitless at the end of the day.

Truly, the degree and weigh of luck can not be underestimate but little did we know. Being hardworking doesn't guarantee success. You can be putting effort and energy but if luck has not yet find you, you'll labour without having result. However, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be hard working or struggle but when you are doing so, you should also pray for luck and grace to locate you. The story can not always be the same. Things might be easy and smoothly for some even without putting much effort while to some even after putting the necessary effort, it might be difficult for them. Giving hope is what kills the dream. If you are consistent and not giving hope, you'll actually achieve your goals some days but how many of us are patient enough to keep positive energy from beginning to end when we feel like we are not getting the desire result at first?
Doing hard work may not necessarily be able to achieve what we want, but it is through hard work that our desires can be achieved and we must do it based on what we already know, don't do work that we don't fully understand, of course in this case we won't be able to achieve what we want. Doing work based on the knowledge we have consistently and asking for luck will certainly achieve the success we want.
You are right that everyone goes through a different process in achieving their success and there are those who are able to get back up after they experience failure and correct their mistakes so as to achieve success and there are also those who are unable to get back up after they fail.
If you often read the history of someone's journey to become a millionaire, of course a process is needed, not just the aspect of becoming a millionaire, in fact all fields will require a process to achieve success. Maybe one of them is the dream of having 1 BTC in the portfolio, then the level of process required may take a year or more in the process of accumulating Bitcoin at each stage. However, the duration of time is not a problem because if you can increase your aggressiveness in accumulating Bitcoin, of course you can reach the level of ownership of 1 Bitcoin, it will not take one year.

Well, on the other hand, in terms of your efforts to increase your rank, of course it also requires a process and as we have seen, those who are able to reach legendary rank, of course they go through many stages to reach legendary rank. Many people may need a long time and it all depends on their level of will because if they are serious then their dreams will be achieved thanks to their hard work. The point is that nothing will be achieved if you are lazy to change your attitude to continue learning in order to improve the quality of posts that are easier to digest and can also be useful for other people.

And why they did it late  Roll Eyes

I think it it quite common that either people do not have enough because they failed to plan and to take actions and maybe even they were too busy gambling rather than investing and believing that their gambling amounted to a kind of investment, and then it did not end up paying off.

Sure sometimes they might be to blame, but sometimes they might have some misfortunes too... so there can be a lot of reasons that people might feel that they are "starting" or "starting over" at a very late age.

Sometimes they are busy having fun and going on vacations and they do not really realize how the time will end up slipping away from them, and then one day they wake up and they realize that they have only saved $10k, even though they have a lifestyle that requires around $100k per year, and so they have to do some serious thinking about how they might need to make progress towards getting where they should have had been.
This effort is quite attractive for some people in their 50s to invest in Bitcoin as a safe haven asset for their old age. However, as you have explained, of course it is very related to the big principle of seeking income from the spare money they have to invest in Bitcoin. Sometimes the lateness in getting started isn't that big of a deal because their confidence level is higher with mass adoption happening. Of course, for those in their 50s, they don't think about anything else other than their focus is only on investing.

However, if they are just learning about Bitcoin when they are in their 50s, it would be a good idea for them to invest based on their desire to learn more about Bitcoin. Generally, currently it is millennials who dominate investment in Bitcoin, and in general, of those aged 50 and over, only a portion of them invest in Bitcoin due to their lack of knowledge about Bitcoin (perhaps too late). As mentioned, those aged over 50 will have a lower level of income if their work is not permanent (for those who are not state officials). So the level of their needs will probably be the main thing in investing in Bitcoin for the long term. Even a tendency towards distrust may be the basis if they start too late.
2333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 20, 2023, 06:36:08 PM
I do agree that fans would be happy for that, and not like they worry about the league, they are going to end up getting better anyway and I think they are going to end up with a result that would be good for them. I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be UCL for them since they are failing to get that, even if they end up losing the league and the cup, but end up winning UCL instead, that would very much prefer that.

However, after seeing City last night, even though their opponent was weak, I could say that it would require a miracle for a team to beat City, even with many players missing, they were still playing with an amazing talent and they are looking a lot more unbeatable this season.
Their big target is of course the UCL trophy which they have been targeting for a long time. The victory in the match against Dortmund gave quite a good impression of PSG progress in the Champions League this season and fans seemed happy with this first win. PSG are in the tightest group this season so this first win will make them even more confident for the upcoming matches. I admit that PSG this season is better prepared, both in terms of player depth and also their coach, they are really a team that really counts this season.

Luis Enrique must be able to bring PSG to appear consistent throughout the Group Phase matches. PSG next opponent in the Champions League is Newcastle United. Of course, this is not a weak opponent because Eddie Howe team was able to hold AC Milan to a draw at San Siro. Of course PSG must play more impressively like they did when they beat Dortmund. 3 points will mean a lot for PSG in that match, but the match will start in 2 weeks. Of course both teams still have plenty of time to prepare their strengths before the match starts.

[edited out]
Yeah the ten year dca plan or longer is good even if you are in your 50s

starting it at 52 and wrapping it up at retirement when 65 is still viable at this moment.

Even if btc does only 20x from now till 2036 it will almost certainly out do cash 💷.

I don't really disagree with anything that you are saying, yet still some people who start investing late in life don't really have anything in their investment portfolio and they are just getting started, albeit late.

And why they did it late  Roll Eyes

That's an interesting point to review, one big factor could be that they are new to Bitcoin this year, or they are full of regrets about the dark past because they had some BTC but didn't hold it in the long term. So that now they are aware and ready to make long-term investments when they are past their 50s. I thought it wouldn't be a problem but in old age it seems like they have little time to enjoy.  lol
 However, investment certainly does not look at age, whether they are still students or have entered their 50s, of course they will be able to do it. But for those who are older, they definitely need someone to guide them, be it their children because if something happens, for example they die, of course their children will know that their parents invested in Bitcoin.

You can do it when you are really ready to do it. Just like this, just put your level of confidence in Bitcoin first, because if you can't control your lust for the profits that come your way, then you are not ready to enter the long-term investment zone like JJG did. I see almost everyone doing DCA for their long term investments but they don't have a strong mentality to hold it in the long term because they exit when they are already making a profit.

I think you have to learn step by step first to prepare yourself mentally for long-term investment. DCA really supports you in accumulating BTC in each Quartel if you make purchases in each Quartel, but you have to have a level of confidence in the long term early. So with what you said it seems like you are still waiting for your salary from your office to buy BTC. of ​​course that is a pretty good decision and I think do it based on the percentage that you have, divided into your financial interests for living needs and for investing in Bitcoin.
As nothing is actually ever simple in this world to do especially when it comes to field of financial stability same thing applies to actually successful holding your Bitcoin and it's another case if you are accumulating through DCA, why? Well because it's not an easy task and most people actually just give up at the long run of it because of so many reasons and here are some.
---lack of discipline
---wrong financial income or none at all
---No proper planning
--- procrastination
--- impatient
Before anyone can properly practice DCA and still hold on to their investment for a long period these certain barriers are to be broken.
Everyone who has decided to invest in the long term of course has planned well in advance. So in my previous review I said that they must be ready to throw away their thoughts/desires to take advantage quickly because if they can't do that, then the list you mentioned will not be in line with what I have mentioned. The list of items mentioned is a basic list that they have prepared to run their investments in the long term. Well, like the financial aspect (JJG has said that if you can't allocate $100 for investment every week then you can reduce it by adjusting the income you get). Another interesting list for me is the level of patience (patience is the main principle that they must have every time they invest, whether in Bitcoin or other investments, because achieving success is always accompanied by patience).
So on other points it won't have a big impact, because if you are not disciplined, it won't be a big problem because we make purchases in stages and if you miss 1 stage level it won't be a big problem because you can continue at the next stage.
2336  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: September 17, 2023, 09:14:23 PM
I did most of my DCA into BTC between November 2013 and early 2017.. . .and I did a bit of DCA after 2017 too.
That's quite a long initial journey with DCA that you are doing.... Maybe I will start like that at the start of this year until the next few years, I'm not sure how long it will last but my own target is 2032. Is that realistic? Of course I will try my best.

One thing that is so great about DCA is that you can figure out for yourself, and sure, if you end up getting a $500 to $1k bonus once or twice a year, then you are going to have options regarding how you choose to spend that $500 to $1k extra when it comes in, and you may well end up choosing to buy BTC with it right away rather than spreading out your BTC purchases.. It is not always an easy choice to figure out how to employ extra cash when it comes in.. especially if you feel that you don't frequently come across extra cash. but the more you go through with buying BTC regularly, at some point you might decide that you are going to divide that lump sum into three parts in order to allocate 1/3 towards each (Lump sum, DCA and buying on dips), and then there might be some other times in which you feel that you want to strategize your purchases to buy on dips, and you might divide the lump sum into 3, but instead keep it all in one category, which is to buy on dips.. so you might buy 1/3 right away, and then the 2/3 to buy after a $1.5k drop in price if it happens and the 3/3 part, you might assign to buying that amount upon a BTC price drop of 4,680.

Those are your choices, and it seems to me that the more BTC that you get, the less stressed that you are in regards to buying BTC right away with your extra cash, and you become more wiling to set your BTC buy prices and just wait for the BTC price to come to you, and hopefully you are not too greedy in the places where you set your purchase prices, because if you already have enough BTC, the you are not worried about the BTC price going up because you already have enough BTC.
Yes, now I understand the DCA method and know the benefits myself. Expenditures will now be even tighter after the DCA planning has started. Before doing this I always shopped for non-essential items so for now, unnecessary expenses will no longer be used and it's more important to be strict on DCA than anything else.

In a normal year I always get a bonus from work several times but this time I haven't received it from the office. What is clear is that I already have this plan and will put it in BTC, but I also have a choice between buying it in a lump sum or in several part like you said, on the one hand I want to separate DCA and lump sum with different wallets and also with different records in the spreadsheet, it's clear in my opinion the results will be greater in DCA planning than lump sum because the bonus money cannot be determined how big it is but that in my mind is separate.

Even now I have to be a little more adaptable, the need is increasing day by day, I have to save a little more so I can do more DCA well and strictly.
You can do it when you are really ready to do it. Just like this, just put your level of confidence in Bitcoin first, because if you can't control your lust for the profits that come your way, then you are not ready to enter the long-term investment zone like JJG did. I see almost everyone doing DCA for their long term investments but they don't have a strong mentality to hold it in the long term because they exit when they are already making a profit.

I think you have to learn step by step first to prepare yourself mentally for long-term investment. DCA really supports you in accumulating BTC in each Quartel if you make purchases in each Quartel, but you have to have a level of confidence in the long term early. So with what you said it seems like you are still waiting for your salary from your office to buy BTC. of ​​course that is a pretty good decision and I think do it based on the percentage that you have, divided into your financial interests for living needs and for investing in Bitcoin.

In understanding each science, each person has a different way, some take a long time and some can understand it quickly, this really depends on each person's personality. I prefer those who learn Bitcoin by not investing directly because this will not be good for them because they don't understand this well, but if someone guides them well they can try it with a little capital so they can understand every process they carry out.
Of course, all new things will require a process for those who are really just learning about Bitcoin. But for now I am sure that those who are new to Bitcoin will have a faster level of knowledge for them to understand what Bitcoin is because they can learn on every social media about Bitcoin either on YouTube or other social media. Because there is a lot of education about Bitcoin that can improve their knowledge. So, if they are still beginners and join the Bitcointalk Forum, it will be easier for them to learn Bitcoin because in this forum they can get everything they are looking for, be it how to invest well or everything. But they can only achieve this if they really want to learn about Bitcoin.

Now, regarding investment, they can do it in small amounts for the investment they make. In fact, it will not link them to a better level of knowledge if they only focus on investing without being supported by adequate knowledge about Bitcoin. But slowly they will definitely dig up their own information about Bitcoin and I'm sure those who know about Bitcoin definitely hear about it from their closest relatives.

Difficulty and ease always go hand in hand in all things, so that the assessment of the ease and difficulty of a job is only known when we have done it in our own way. Because sometimes the method taken by other people can also be easier than the method we do in a job that is no different, so difficulties are not only formed from our thoughts. But it is also formed from the way we take things in order to get maximum results without shifting from the basic goals that we have previously thought about for ourselves.

However, some people actually don't want to try doing something that they consider difficult, but maybe they don't know where to start, so up to now there are still many people who prefer to look for other, easier paths because maybe they know where to start. Even though difficulties are only visible when someone has not tried it, but when they have tried it and let's say they still haven't succeeded, someone will definitely look for solutions to solve the problems they face in order to overcome the obstacles that are in front of them.
I understand what you have explained, but a little addition from me is that everyone has different thoughts, and that is why some of them were able to achieve success earlier compared to us, the strong reason is because they stuck to their guns and had determination. To continue trying to follow up on every choice they implement.

For example, if you joined the Crypto World in 2016 and someone else joined in 2017 but there is a big difference in the level of success where someone who joined in 2017 is more successful than you. So at this stage you can evaluate why he can be successful and why we can't. Maybe if you have a history of buying BTC, of ​​course you can buy at a lower price because you joined in 2016. But someone who joined in 2017 bought BTC at a higher price than the purchase you made, but for comparison now they are more successful than you. This is due to factors, because they follow up on the development of Bitcoin from year to year so they believe Bitcoin will achieve greater profits if it is held for a long time. While those of you who bought at that time were only satisfied with a small profit because you sold your BTC holdings more quickly.  (that's perhaps the level of evaluation that must be adjusted for your future) namely buy and hold.

Well, that's a little conclusion that I can explain and I think I agree with Op because all success doesn't happen overnight and there are a lot of processes that have to be gone through. So do it with determination and full confidence in what you want to achieve in the future.

~~ Snip ~~

The match has finished and Lazio lost by a fairly large score (2 goals difference), this isn't in accordance with the predictions you said. In fact, Juventus is certain to win, regardless of their early season performance, this match is a home match for them, there's no way they will disappoint their supporters. And what now? it's been proven, right? Currently Juventus continues their positive trend in the Serie A standings with 3 wins and 1 draw, they are in 2nd place below Internazionale who are currently ahead of AC Milan with a score of 1 - 0.
Many thought because Lazio was able to defeat Napoli in their previous game they will still have the chance of beating Juventus. The result of Juventus dmvs Lazio has prove that Lazio was just only lucky to win Napoli.  It so good to see Juventus to come out with an impressive result . I think Juventus will perform better this season than previous season. Juventus needs to be among the top teams  leading the league this season.
AC Milan once again had to acknowledge the toughness of city rivals Inter Milan, Pioli squad was mercilessly slaughtered like a mediocre club by Inter. The only thing that is good for Milan is breaking into Inter's goal which has not conceded before. Inzaghi squad is quite worthy of winning the Scudetto with the performance shown today. A source of confidence for their next steps in the UCL group phase matches, Real Sociedad will be the first opponent they must defeat if they want to win group D.

Another prestigious match between Juventus and Lazio was also very interesting, the course of the match determined that the Bianconeri were still strong enough to be beaten by Maurizio Sarri. Dusan Vlahovic and Chiesa were the keys to victory for Juventus, Lazio victory over Napoli last week cannot be used as a benchmark when they visit Turin.

When the coach is angry and ego-attached it seems to be the case with Ten Hag. Sancho fell victim to Ten Hag's assertiveness. After the action of responding to Ten Hag's argument and refusing to apologise, it seems Sancho will not be used by Ten Hag and exiled from the First Team. Though there is a schedule on in the EPL and UCL. In addition, the problem of injuries and criminal problems of players is still ongoing. Ten Hag looks like he will use the rest of the players and maybe the result is not optimal.
The result surprised everyone, Ten Hag efforts to bring The Red Devils to a positive path have not borne fruit. The United squad looked like a group of players who were sluggish with Ten Hag's tactical scheme, internal problems ultimately had an impact on the team performance on the pitch. Brighton should be beaten easily when playing in front of their own fans, Old Trafford is no longer as feared and authoritative as it used to be. The budget spent in the transfer market did not have an impact on improving the team performance, Hojlund also cannot be a hope on the front lines.

The series of defeats was greater than the wins, a fact that rarely happened to The Red Devils at the start of the season. Ten Hag is really under a lot of pressure, it is very possible that if United fail to qualify in the UCL group stage his tenure at Old Trafford will end prematurely. Brighton hard work deserves appreciation, appearing impressively like a top EPL club.
