The recovery has been seen but there's no validation yet if we're in the bull run. The condition is like if it goes back $45k onwards then that confirms that we're back in the bull run.

It's still too early to see what 2022 will be. But just for the sake of argument, everyone is saying that it's bearish. So if that's what they're saying, you should expect that we're going into the bear trend.

I can't imagine myself stocking a few goods for a year. Well, we're not in a crisis and hopefully will not come to that point that we have to hoard. But when we do grocery, we're stacking just only for a week or two.

I've experienced what you've experienced OP about the bugs. But it's different with me, those snacks that I've stocked and even they seem to be good, they were bombarded by ants and they didn't last long.

It is still going to depend on how you deal with inflation.

There's always an excuse but people like OP is doing it correctly silently and winning their own battle.

Those that always get to say something and keep on reasoning, they're the ones that will always find a fault for them to stop investing. And when they see that the market is ripening again, they'll regret it.

It's a never-ending cycle that they have to determine through themselves and see that the fault is in them.

Every year there are always a lot of scams that do come to the market and it's remarkable last year because we've been into the bullish season which attracted a lot of investors mostly were newbies.

Scammers will keep on existing. No matter how many of them will be busted, there will still be those that remain and no heart to scam people. They'll never change because they're too lazy to work their assess off.

It's always the FOMO that turns people into temptation. They'll feel being left alone and regret about the potential that they'll get while it's still soaring high.

But without knowing, the devs are already getting ready for their exit and if you miss them, you're going to regret more than the regret you've felt about getting that high profit.

Think of your situation when you're tempted as a blessing in disguise. You've avoided the rug pull.

Well done, OP.

You just unlocked and achievement that many have been craving to reach as their personal goal. While many are whining about how low or expensive bitcoin is.

There goes the people like you that are silently accumulating and achieving their investment goal. That's really one of the attitude of a real investor of knowing what he's doing and have the high level of patience.

There will be always them that will ask the same question about being late to buy. I guess whenever we see new highs and lows, that question is always anticipated and somebody is going to ask about it.

Not all the time. Those that have bought at a higher price is likely that they've spent already what they've got for their budget. That's making them unable to buy anymore because they got no money left to buy for the newer lows.

About the line, that's possible that there's only one ATM and it's getting hundred of people in line everyday.

I'm not comparing it though. What I'm saying is the reality that even we're into digital money. There will always be the time that we have to sell btc and convert it on cash and then withdraw it on the ATM. Not every establishments near to us are not yet versed digitally so they need cash.

Great! Keep it up.

You know that you're doing correctly if it's giving you the feeling of enjoyment and excitement. There's no need to rush and you already have the goal of owning a whole bitcoin.

You already did what must be done and you've owned half of it. What you must do is to get yourself focus with it because it could be lovely as it is today but tomorrow or the next day, you'll feel different. When it comes, just remember your goal.

Yes, the momentum is there and that's the reason that no matter what situation the market is, it will recover and those that have lost their hope a few weeks back then.

They're starting to see the light again with hope.

The dream for $100k will never die and no matter how long we're going to wait, that's not a problem. We've been tested by time and we're okay to wait until it comes.

That seems to be a very long line for ATM, when I ever use an ATM, it don't take me that long and if that happened to me I'll definitely not going back there where that ATM is placed. I think it's just an exaggeration. But one another reality, when we're selling bitcoin, we're going to withdraw it and has to go through an ATM or OTC whichever you prefer.

I'm all for the good of bitcoin and it's really comfortable to have it. Specially if you have people in abroad and they're asking to send money back and forth, fees are cheaper these days.

And the biggest reason why many holds, is about it being a truly valuable asset, a store of value.

We'll determine the lowest point if it ever comes. But for the meantime, when it had to the lowest which was around $33k, that's already the point of others that have been probably set.

And right now, it had hit $38k and trying to force itself out of that line to get into $39k. But if you think that it's not yet comfortable to buy, you really have to wait for another low price point. It will be a matter to yourself if the recovery continues to push $40k upwards.

I don't hold XRP and if that's the value that you've received, it's just a free money that you can ignore until the value grows.

You'll be depending on the value on it and you just can't sell it if you're in binance if the value is only $1 since they have a minimum value requirement.

Well, on December it's on ATH and it's for the traders to prosper and not for those airdrop receivers.

Too sad that all necessities and basic needs are increasing. But can we fight this alone to pull the prices back? I don't think that there's a solution to it.
 
But we can make some ways of having these basic needs like what we can see in farming. If you own an acre or hectare or just a small lot, you can plant some of those plants that will give you basic ingredients and vegetables.

Although I really want to complain a lot with almost weekly increase for the price of these commodities but I'll choose some alternative and way to at least reduce the cost.

Yes likely, they've put the intellectual rights of it on sale.

Facebook reportedly ditches Diem stablecoin with asset sale

It has to get its return from selling it and whoever takes it should have to continue its development. I don't think that there's a need to worry about this project is on sale.

IIRC, FB is doing something bigger such as a payment method in Brazil. I forgot the details about that one which is like pilot testing that they've started only there.

This is one source - LeBron James Teams Up With Crypto.com to Bring Digital Education to Students

There's nothing wrong with that advocacy and it's actually good. People need to learn more about cryptocurrencies and if LBJ is going to help reach more people about that to make them understand what crypto is, he's doing a good job at partnering with Crypto.com which is also the one that has rented LA's Staple Center for 20 years.

Well, as speculated by many, still many are saying that $100k is possible.

And these patterns that are running similar in the past really happens but just to make sure that we don't get overwhelmed is to make yourself comfortable with what's happening in the market.

As a holder, if it does happen, that's gonna make everyone happy but let's just embrace the reality as of now.

Most of them really are collectibles and art collections. You get the ownership of that NFT depending on how many are minted. But we can't ignore the market that it's showing to the mass.

They could be a separated market from the actual that we've got and that's why everyone's getting crazy on it because there's a value. I think that the actual use case of it is by just being a valuable stuff just like the paintings but it's digital.

I don't own an ATM and I'm not into this business. This website suggests that an ATM would cost around $400 to $14,500 depending on the model.

Which means that could be the mid-type model that's being sold to you.

I'm sure they do. That's really the sole business in bitcoin ATMs. Per transaction a customer makes, you get a commission in the form of added charged fee.

I apply the logic selling of the Chinese people.

They don't mind whatever is the status of your life, whether you're rich or poor as long as you're adding to their sale. In some cases, it really depends on the product you're selling.

But if I'm a businessman, I'll choose those products that are affordable so that everyone can avail that. There are those businesses that have luxurious products and they have the target market only for the rich.
