241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: March 21, 2024, 12:02:39 PM
It is only fun to watch when your bet is winning. Imagine you have placed a bet when your team is winning, everything is great, and all of a sudden your team is loosing and there is little time left. I dont think that it will still be fun to watch how your team lose and to understand that you have wasted money. And there is a chance that you have wasted money on a ticket and snacks only. I think in such case, it is not just not fun to watch, but it creates a little disgust to betting.
Sometimes when I don't bet on my club, because I don't believe in them. If they are playing the match and it is close to 90mins, in which my teams is losing. If their game pattern does not show that they can equalize the goal, I do stand up and stop watching the game. Talk more of when I stake my bet, and the team that I bet on is losing. I would not be comfortable with watching the game, because I will conclude that I ha e lost the bet, and there is no hope. That is why I don't bother watching anymore. On the other hand, if I don't have a problem of the team I bet on losing, I will watch the game till the end.

25% on exchange and yesterday I was thinking about when it comes to selling.
It is not a safe practice to keep your coins in an exchange, because the moment your coins is in an exchange, it is no longer yours until when you withdraw it. Exchanges are vulnerable to attack. I will advice you to move your coins to your cold storage and have 100% of your investment safe.

I am just thinking it will be a long process having everything on my cold storage and then seeing the market pumping then having to send everything back over to exchange I may miss the best prices to sell as it will take some time to send everything from cold wallet to exchange.

I understand it is more safe to have crypto on cold storage but is it less likely in the peak of a bull run for exchanges to fall? If so, I feel it would be better to send all of my crypto to exchange in advance to then be ready to sell everything.
You want to make a very big mistake that can make you loss all your funds. What if the exchange crashes or get hacked while you are waiting for the bull run. See exchange as a market place for buying and selling crypto, and not a bank to keep your funds. You already have a cold storage with is good and safe. You should have a price target when you will be taking profit, so that if bitcoin price reaches that target, you sell some fraction. Take profit at different level of bitcoin price and not all in one price.

Too much passion for their clubs, makes them allow their emotions to control them, when their clubs are playing. This is taken too serious by some fans, and they fail to understand that you should be a gentle fan of your club no matter the circumstances on ground, and not an arrogant fan that allows the outcome of a game affects his emotion. Taking issues of your football club personal, can result to such act by the fan. Some people cannot control their emotions, and you dare not argue with them about their clubs, they might flame up.

With this price drops, many investors have entered the market to buy more Bitcoin. However, some investors are still buying for small amounts because this correction can continue. Be careful when buying Bitcoin. Don't forget to analyze market conditions before deciding.
There is no point analyzing the market conditions as a newbie that just started his bitcoin investment. This is why the DCA method is the most recommended method that is good to accumulate bitcoin for beginners , because you are buying bitcoin at different price level. A beginner should only focus on DCA, and if the market dips farther, he is of the advantage of buying more bitcoin in a discount price. All what the new investor needs is to put in place all the necessities that will make him not think of selling his bitcoin investment.

How can a beginner understand how how analyze the market, the aim of venturing into bitcoin investment is to have a significant amount of bitcoin, which he can only achieve this when he continues buying regulary and increasing his bitcoin portfolio without being distracted with the price movement of bitcoin. This is why a new investor in his accumulation phase must prepare for the DOWNity and UPity of bitcoin price movement for him to enjoy his bitcoin accumulation process. Keep buying with DCA regularly and Hodli is the key. Just don't stop buying.

The society gets influenced easily, especially when there is a fake hope of getting rich from a particular thing. This is why it is easy for those influencers to lure people into gambling, because they are after their own pocket, and for that reason these influencers can just lie and lead people astray. Gambling has being a vice that is currently used to destroy the future of youths that gambles for profit, because when they can no longer cope with their losses, they commit suicide thinking that it is the only way out.

The WO thread is an outstanding one, so there is no need for it to be pinned, because that is where the old Gs in bitcoin investment do use to encourage themselves to keep on hodli, and to have fun that they are proud to be long term hodlers.

will it stop the somewhat wasteful spread of merits there?.
I don't think there is any wasteful spread of merit, because the receiver will appreciate it, and merits add value to a user's account.
Where else do you expect those users that the WO thread is only their area of interest here in the forum to give out their Smerits. This is why merit flow is inevitable on the thread. No matter how shitty a thread is, as long as high reputable, and high knowledgeable members comments on it, some comments will be educative.

playing gambling in a conscious and relaxed state will be better and minimize excessive losses, as OP said, playing in a semi-conscious state, we don't think about what risks will happen and we just take reckless actions, it's best to avoid them as far as possible
That is just the actual fact. Gambling is a very Risky game that is very difficult to win on a normal conscious mode, I wonder what will really happen when it is played In a semi conscious state. Playing gambling on drug will only make you feel devastated when you regain consciousness  because all what you did was under the influence of drug and it may further make such person comit suicide after such person might have used up all his life savings.
Any gambler that gambles when he is on drugs or on a semi conscious state does not know what he is doing and is irresponsible. This is because he is already an addict for him to try such, if not why will he think of gambling when he is not on a normal conscious mode like you said. It is hard for addicts or gamblers that are close to addiction to stop gambling when they are losing because they want to win back their losses. Talk more of a gambler that is on a semi conscious state, he will wake up or after he has back to normal to see that he has lost all his bankroll, even though it is $1M.

Fans are eagerly waiting for this match. Barcelona team is slightly more experienced than PSG in the Champions League. But let's not forget PSG's coach is Luis Enrique. I am looking forward to see Enrique VS Xavi fight. Enrique is experienced, but Xavi is talented.

Barcelona have the ability to win this match. In the last match against Atlético Madrid, the Barcelona players performed brilliantly. The team is in very good rhythm. On the other hand, PSG's performance is still completely dependent on Mbappe. If Mbappe plays well PSG has a chance to win, and if Mbappe doesn't perform well PSG has a very low chance of winning against Barcelona.
Its become mini reunion the quarter final Champion League match between Barcelona vs PSG, Luis Henrique will face his former teams with the most successful by winning UEFA Champion League and La Liga trophies.
Become the battle teacher and student between Luis Henrique and Xavi Hernandez. Talking about experienced, actually Luis Henrique have much experienced than Xavi Hernandez but he was success with La Liga tittle since Barcelona have internal financial problem.

I think can't blame with less experienced from Xavi Hernanez because his tactical worth it right now with Barcelona regarding his team get financial problem but keep dominance in La Liga and qualifying to quarter final of Champion League. Left three weeks later for the first leg but I have bad feeling with international break out this week, will any players got injury after returning from their national teams?
Xavi was been criticized when Barca was facing a little difficulties in winning their matches, and this led to Xavi making conclusions to leave the club by the end of this season. But I must say that, Xavi did a great job to manage the players on ground, and finally brought out the best in them, which led to the current form of the club. I know that Xavi ha e little experience in the coaching job compared to Luis Enrique, but it is going to be a matter of time for us to know the coach that can come up with the proper strategy for his team to qualify to the next round.

It is very expensive to carry out solo mining and you will not be able to make profit, because the chance of mining a block is very slim compared to when you are with a mining pool. It is better to join a mining pool because they work as one and share the block reward between themselves. Just imagine when a group of people are searching for something together, they will see it faster than when it is only one man.

Does Bitcoin actually have a Dip season? Or just when you are capable to purchase that comes the investor Dip time?
Anyways, let me just say buying at the Dip and holding is the best format to purchase your Bitcoin and accumulate as much as you can while the markets erupts to be appreciated in values.
Quote

The market do dip, and that is why we have the bear market. Buying at the dip is the best if you are prepared for it and you were able to buy at the bottom line a significant amount, and hodli gives the highest profit in the long run. But this period is not the best because you will keep on waiting for the dip, amd when it comes, you might ignore it and believe that the price will still go below, and this will make that investor miss out. A new investor who wants to start his bitcoin journey should use the best of all the three strategies, which is the DCA method, because his focus is to keep on increasing and building his bitcoin portfolio regularly so that in the long run, he can be able to ha e acquired a certain amount of bitcoin with ease, due to his discipline and sacrifice on regular buying of bitcoin weekly or monthly. With the DCA method done properly, you can reach your bitcoin target or close to your bitcoin target faster than who only buys at the dip.

It is good that as you are DCAing, you should have plans to lump sum or buy at the dip whenever, extra cash comes in that was not expected and can be ignored. When that investor has accumulated 70% of his bitcoin target, he can choose to use only the buy dip method, because his bitcoin stash has reached a good level, and whatever amount he uses in DCA might be very small to the size of his bitcoin investment portfolio that it will have no effect, but the compounding value will be bigger.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 18, 2024, 03:21:23 PM
I have doubts in every key this time, only in the Atletico - Dortmund one i can see a favorite to win wich is Atletico clearly, but in the other games i dont really see it, between Man City and Real Madrid i see a 60-40 and for the other games im 50-50 in both remaining games.

I think none would be happy to see Manchester City playing against Real Madrid before the final game because very soon we should say goodbye to one of these teams which is not good for the football fans because both teams are very strong and both could have perfect performances in the Champions League games. Maybe this would be amazing to have Real Madrid against Manchester City in 5the final match of the Champions League.
Even Txiki Begiristain the director of Manchester City was sad to see the team playing against Real Madrid, but he said his team is full confidence to beat Real Madrid for another time in the quarter-final game.
But I'm sure Real Madrid is very much ready to take the revenge.


I too was upset when I saw that Man City and Madrid will meet again not in the final... Last season City easily defeated Real Madrid... Of course it will be interesting to see them meet this season, because it seems to me that Real have a chance to win this time... But probably this match should have happened in the final...

Me too. I was hoping and praying that Madrid would face City in the final, but the game started earlier. It will be heartbreaking to see one of them eliminated in this round. Manchester City hopes to win the UCL trophy again this season after doing so last season. The suqad used by city is different compared to the last season but they are still having good capability like last season's squad.
Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. The club must have replicated Real Madrid's defeat at the hands of City, who scored five times against madrid last seasons. The same momentum will occur again soon. Kyle Walker is prepared to stop Vini from scoring in the upcoming game.
The only issue is that Vini puts in all of his effort to create the long shoot. City frequently conceded goals from him through long shots from outside the penalty box. This is the most important thing Manchester City must anticipate to ensure Vini has no space to take long shots against the city.

Walker was able to stop Vinicius last season from penetrating through his wing, but I must say that was last season, as Vini has improved better than last season, and he will not forget Walker. This will make him want to find all means of making sure that he can strike from any place, if Walker wants to stop him from displaying his talent. It will be a very difficult match for both clubs, and no one can tell what the outcome of this match will be. City needs to be careful because Real Madrid play pattern is fast and they can force them to play their game pattern, which would not be nice for City. This is why City needs not to dance to their tone but play the game to suit their own game pattern.

I didn't see anything special about Manchester United's game, they were just luckier because the Liverpool coach was too hasty in making substitutions. Basically, Liverpool had enough control of the match and they were even able to maintain their lead until the end of the second half before the equalizing goal occurred. So Klopp's mistake in rotating players gave United players more freedom and more confidence because they were able to force their opponents into extra time. So in my opinion it would be an exaggeration if that was the best game from the Red Devils.
In the world of football there is no such thing as luck, in my opinion this is the result of the Manchester United team's hard work with excellent passes which were then put to good use by the Manchester United players resulting in the winning goal for Manchester United. It's true that Liverpool played very well, but they played too hastily so they couldn't take advantage of all the opportunities they got when they were in the Manchester United goal. In my opinion, this is not the Liverpool coach's fault, in fact Kloop gave his squad a strategy that looks very good. It's just that Liverpool's defense is too focused on the front so they don't pay enough attention to their players from Manchester United.
I agree with you. It is not the fault of Klopp but the players because the allowed Man United to have an upper hand in the extra time which led to United pressuring their defense. However, it is not a must that Liverpool should win the game, and this is why I would say that luck didn't favor any team, but what favored Manchester united was the zeal and determination that they can still win the match. It was a good day for the red devils, as they were able to play with the spirit of the old Manchester united in this game, turning things around even when everybody thought that it is over for them.
253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin become a payment option?Was the initial design of bitcoin tobe paym on: March 18, 2024, 07:40:18 AM
When I was searching about bitcoin, a question came to mind: When will bitcoin become widely accepted as a payment option in real life? Was the initial design of bitcoin intended for use as a form of payment? What aspects contribute to making bitcoin a viable payment option? I know that currently, bitcoin is seen more as an investment rather than a means of payment. Is that correct?
As time passes on bitcoin keeps increasing in value, making investors to see it as more of an investment than a payment method. However, bitcoin is still used for an alternative payment method everyday by business owners wide world. This is because it is easy to transfer a huge amount of bitcoin easily than using a third party which might raise eye browns. Bitcoin as a payment option will keep on increasing because there are people who love privacy in their financial life. It is the rich business people that uses it more as a payment option as that is why you are seeing some businesses that accept bitcoin as an alternative payment method. Ferrari accepts payment in bitcoin. Everybody has a reason why they adopted bitcoin. I believe with time, it will be used more as an investment because of the high profit that it generates with time-line. This forum also uses bitcoin from payment, and also with some users here. Transaction fee is now becoming a barrier for small businesses using it as a payment option.

Tonight game between ATM and Barcelona, it's a total disappointment to see ATM been beaten by Barcelona with the goal margin that am seeing here 0:3, 41 minutes in the game Xavi is shown a yellow card, 42 minutes Xavi is shown a red card but Barcelona is still dominating the game when they are one man down, ATM is not doing a good job in this game because they are not showing any good sign of a team that is interested in scoring goals nor coming back in the game because they are not showing good performance. Barcelona is now looking forward to Real Madrid to drop points because they are following Real Madrid I the second place in the table and Real Madrid being ahead of them with 8 points, good to see Barcelona finally getting back to their good form hopefully they will end the league in the second place.

Yeah this is a little beyond our expectations because previously we hope that Atletico Madrid can play aggressively like in the Champions League yesterday and they played at home but what happened was the opposite, Barcelona won by scoring 3 goals while Atletico Madrid did not score a single goal. Now Barcelona managed to take over the second place in the standings whereas Atletico Madrid had to fight to be able to go back to the Top 4 because they were one point behind the Athletic Club.

I won't talk about Barcelona want to pursue Real Madrid because for me it is impossible and Real Madrid is completely safe at the top of the standings, then waiting for the season to end to celebrate victory. Competition in La Liga is no longer interesting after Real Madrid without competitors, as for what we are waiting for in this league is El Clasico in April, this match always attracts our attention and want to see who is best.
I agree with you that we have already known the winner of the league since Girona failed to close the gap between them and Real Madrid, after Real Madrid defeated them. Apart from Real Madrid already sitting on top for months now, the second, third and fourth position has being interesting. This is because no one expected that Bilbao will be in the fourth position and Atletico Madrid will be behind them. I think that I see Bilbao having a better opportunity of going to the champions league next season that Atletico Madrid, because Bilbao is also stron. Barca was able to get all three points on a clean sheet, which makes them the second on the table. I think this is the best that they can achieve in La Liga this season.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona

Atletico Madrid StartXI: 3-1-4-2

Jan Oblak; Axel Witsel; Reinildo Mandava; Stefan Savić; Pablo Barrios; Nahuel Molina; Marcos Llorente; Rodrigo de Paul; Samuel Lino; Álvaro Morata; Rodrigo Riquelme

Barcelona StartXI: 4-3-3

Marc-André ter Stegen; Jules Koundé; Ronald Araújo; Pau Cubarsí; Hector Fort; Sergi Roberto; Andreas Christensen; İlkay Gündoğan; Raphinha; Robert Lewandowski; João Félix

Laliga tough of the day. Let see what will happen.
Just like I expected it to be, the match is full of actions and entertainment. Although Barcelona took the lead from first half following Joao Felix's 38th minute easy goal and also opened the second half with a fantastic goal from Robert Lewandowski, Atletico Madrid also made several futile attempts at scoring too. The interesting thing tonight is that Barcelona is now playing without their head coach Xavi Hernadez who was issued a straight red card. A win for Barcelona tonight will officially see them crossing struggling Girona even though that will not give them a glimmer of hope at dreaming of taking the tile from Real Madrid who will be comfortably sitting 8 points ahead of them.
Barca was able to take control of the game, and made Athletico unable to outplay them at home. I didn't expect that Barca would be able to perform this good in the match, as they are giving Atletico tough time in this match. Currently, Barca is on the second position which is a good achievement for them this season after the challenges that they passed through. Xavi was able to put back his  team together in a good form. Oh shit..Fermini just put the ball at the back of the net on the 65th minutes with a good header after he received a cross directly on his head.

ATM 0-3 BAR

Roma 1-0 Sassuolo


Pellegrini was able to find the back of the net for Roma on the 56th minutes of the match, with a fantastic shot from outside the 18 yard box to give his club the lead. Roma was able to breakthrough the stubborn Sassuolo defence in the second half, what they find difficult to penetrate in the first half. Sassuolo is fighting to equalize after they concede the goal, but that didn't stop them from keeping their defense tight. This should be a win for Roma is they are eager to get all three points, but if they relent, it might be possible that Sassuolo will equalize the goal.

Real sociedad took a good position in the match and they where able to scored the first goal at 28 minutes and added another one goal at 68 minutes to defeat Cadiz 2-0 to caused a heavy celebration in the stadium because many people thought Real sociedad don't have the strength to defeat Cadiz in their home but it was a surprised performance seen Real sociedad embraced the three points from the match. Cadiz has enter relegation zone, and it will be difficult for them to recover from all those loses they experienced from this season because their preparation was very poor in this la Liga league competition. I think, Real Madrid will win their match today, because they always prepared ahead  against any team they are going to meet in the field but for Girona to win their match today it will take them by luck because their opponent don't give up easily in any match.
La Liga is the perfect league to start earning enormous profits in gambling because there's one certain thing, Real Madrid doesn't lose points easy. Real Madrid will keep topping the table because they're yet to meet their match this season, Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid couldn't stop them from reaching key points. Real Sociedad were victorious at the end of the game, end flogging Cadiz 2 nil and that puts El Submarino Amarillo in the relegation zone this season. However, Mauricio Pellegrino will retain his position as headcoach and he will surf for good results in upcoming matches.
I agree with you that this season, Real Madrid is the favorite to win the La Liga title. Girona, who was in the La Liga title race with Real Madrid, was not consistent enough to rival Real Madrid for the title this season. Real Madrid is leading Girona by 7 points in the La Liga table. Real Madrid just needs to win eight matches before they can finally win the La Liga title.

Earlier when Girona was topping the la Liga and I saw that Real Madrid wasn't given them any chance for a big gap, I saw it that Girona would get to a point where they would become afraid and tired because if you are not determined to win a trophy just like Bayern Leverkusen is doing in the Bundesliga, it would be difficult especially when a Stronger team is running same race with you so it was just unfortunate that after Girona lost 4:0 to Real Madrid, it was that day that their morale began to fade because since then they haven't been in their best performance.

In other hand, kudos to a resilient Real Madrid as they have been up and doing in other to still maintain the gap they are topping the league with, even today they won Osasuna by 2:4 after an impressive display from Real Madrid teammates of which Vinicius Jnr scored the first and last goal for Real Madrid, they're now 10 points above Girona who is the second team in the league table pending the outcome of Girona's match against Getafe this evening.
A wonderful performance from Real Madrid as they finished their match today against Osasuna 4 goals to 2.Vini displayed a lot of skills a. D talent in the match scoring two goals, making it a total of 11 goals this season in La Liga. Real Madrid is still expanding the gap in points between them and Girona as the league is drawing to the end. I hope that Girona would be able to win their match to night so that they don't give Barcelona the opportunity to take over the second position from them, be ause if this happens, Girona will end the season sitting on the third position, since Barcelona might be able to maintain the secvond position, if they take over from Girona.

-snip-
The aim of being prepared to allocate funds for Bitcoin investment is so that every investor can be comfortable enough in investing and not be like someone who is pressed for time because they have to keep thinking about their lack of capital. Apart from that, any ideas that each investor will use are also aimed at gaining profits that previously might not have been possible with just a small amount of capital. So this really needs to be understood very well for smooth investment and also for smooth accumulation of more Bitcoin when the price decline starts to occur.
Each investor has different budget sources, some only have a small amount, others have a large budget. It doesn't matter where the budget comes from, investment strategy must certainly be their priority. DCA allows you to have a budget to buy when prices correct, it will increase your investment portfolio instead of a lump sum.

The budget will of course affect how much return you will get when prices rise high, while the strategy will allow you to get a better return even if you have a low budget. Besides, not everyone has a stable budget, so there's no need to force yourself to be consistent as long as you can buy at another time.
But if you are not consistent in you DCA method you not making good use of the strategy and you won't see much impact in your holding. One thing that makes the DCA method interesting is your ability to consistently do it within the specified period you have set for yourself. When you are not consistent in buying either weekly or monthly it like it's not DCA method you are following. It has now turned to lump sum or other methods and when you are not effectively following the DCA method, you don't expect to get the benefits that comes with the method. No matter how small the budget is DCA method, consistency is what matters, before you know it you have accumulated enough.
just so we don't sound like robots and mere perfect people, The DCA method is obviously good and being consistent with your strategy will get you to your goal within the fastest possible time but let's not forget the reality that as human, there might be weeks or month issues can come up and maybe you might miss out on your accumulation routine for the month. As long as it's an unavoidable situation, you've got to be realistic enough and fix your issues and continue with your accumulation routine. The DCA strategy is not to enslave you to your investment and close you out of life reality. You've got to strike a balance between your investment and your real life issues.

 Also, the assumption that the DCA methord is the best isn't all that correct. The decision to buy using the DCA methord or to do lump sum starch is totally based on your financial strength. as long as the methord you're using is working well for you and will help you meet your goal within the shortest possible time, that's the best strategy for you but that's not to suggest that it's better than buying in lump or that its more profitable than bulk buying. Buying in bulk during the bearish season could put you in a better profit and would normally save you from whatever issue that might spring up with time by using the DCA methord.
Just stick to what works best for you based on your financial prowess.

I agree with everything you said Winterfrost, and so it can be difficult to suggest that someone is doing it wrong because he employs some slightly different method of accumulating BTC, and so within the three methods of DCA, lump sum investing and buying on dips, they each have their place, yet they are also coupled by various uncertainties.  A person who has no savings and no other investments would not be in a position to lump sum invest.. so that guy would ONLY be able to DCA and/or buy on dips.  There is also nothing wrong with attempting to strategies your buys, which might also include waiting, but waiting does not make as much sense for someone who does not already have some BTC, so then we get into situations in which the amount of BTC that a guy has already accumulated and at what prices could also affect if he is in a position to wait or if he should just be buying regularly.

I am not opposed to your idea of a guy skipping DCA because he has to roll with his life circumstances, yet if someone plans ahead and he gets his shit in order, then he would also be in a position to prioritize his DCA so that his life circumstances would not cause him to stop his DCA.. now that is assuming that DCA is a good thing for him to do based on his own stack size and his building of his stack size.  Some of the better ways to make sure that you don't miss DCA (if that is a priority for you) is to make sure that your emergency fund and your reserves are in a good position, and you also have good systems in place in terms of managing your cash float... and yeah, sure life circumstances could get so unexpectedly bad that a DCA would have to be stopped, but it would not necessarily be the first thing that is stopped, so there might need to be a exhaustion of other funds prior to discontinuing the DCA (depending on if the DCA is a priority for that particular person).. ..

Again, with all of this that I am outlining, just like you seem to suggest Winterfrost, each person is in charge of his own circumstances, priorities and figuring out how many funds that he has available and whether he is in a position to employ certain strategies that he authorizes himself to do and can discontinue or change those circumstances at any time, including that he can tell himself that no matter what, every week he is going to buy $10 of BTC and he could structure the other parts of his life around that so that no matter what he buys $10 of BTC, even if he might be having other negative financial issues that he is having to deal with.

By the way, don't get me wrong, even though I suggest DCA as the best default system to get started in BTC investing, I also consider that it is not the best for anyone who is able to put together some combination of other systems that also might include DCA as a supplement or as a kind of hybrid DCA, so in that regard, I appreciate any front load lump summing and even front load DCAing, that also includes attempts to buy on dips during the weekly DCA, especially in the earliest stages of building a BTC portfolio, but surely if someone is brand new to investing and/or BTC, they likely are not even able to do any of those other fancy strategies, so they are likely going to be in a way better position to strictly DCA an amount of money that is reasonably doable for them,  and it likely would not even be beneficial to for them to be spending time on various other strategies if they might barely be able to just get some kind of system set up to buy BTC regularly and then they have a lot of other things going on in their lives, since maybe the brand new investor might need to try to figure out ways to increase his disposable income so that he is able to invest more into BTC, and yeah if someone is in college (or some low income earning situation) they might not even have much income, so they might have difficulties increasing their disposable income until they finish their college and/or vocational training... DCA might still work for a person like that, if they don't have much income, they just would be setting a small portion aside while they are doing their studies.
Everything that you said is correct @JJG. If an investor has decided that no matter the ugly situation that plays out during his early stage of accumulation, that he will steadily carry out his DCA purchase weekly, it is possible that he will not skip any week. It all depends on how the investor takes that plan serious and his determination to make it work out. I could remember when I just started my bitcoin journey from here, I said I will always make sure my weekly DCA is not skipped for any reason. I have an account where my emergency funds is, and I don't have much idea on reserve funds, but I can always get funds from one or two places, should incase I want to entertain myself or just go on a vacation without touching my emergency funds.

Unlucky for me one day my emergency funds account got hacked, and all my funds was stolen. Although it was all my fault due to a mistake that I made which made my that account vulnerable to the hackers. I was not happy, but I continued DCAing weekly as usual, and I was building an emergency funds all over again praying for an emergency not to occur that will affect me financially. A neighbor of mine died, and he does not have a family that any of us know about, and he needs to be buried. Nobody was able to come up with a reasonable amount of money, and this person was somehow social with people. So I had to take care of major responsibility after when I saw that, nobody is serious on how to raise funds. I don't also have any funds on me, and I had to seek for funds from a good friend of mine in my working place, and I was able to take care of the deceased bills and he was buried. All these didn't make me skip my DCA because I had to use the front load strategy for one month before I got paid

The point is that when you have determined to use DCA to grow your bitcoin investment portfolio persistently and constantly, you will always what to think of how to have different ways to raise funds, so that no matter what circumstances that play out along the line, you will be able to handle it without skipping any week, because you know that skipping a week means you have extended the time that you would use to reach your bitcoin target. One annoying thing about when you miss a week is that bitcoin price might be cheap at that time that you missed.

However, if a beginner was unable to handle the situation on ground due to his low financial strength at that moment, he can skip a week, and when he is buoyant enough later, he can buy back that week that he skipped. What I mean is that if for instance the investor had a challenge that made him skip week 6, and on week 10, he had extra money that he can use to buy twice his weekly size, he should buy to replace the midst week. This is because our income sometimes varies from month to month.

Here it can be seen that the mentality of the Inter Milan players is not that good even though if we look at it overall they are much stronger than Atletico Madrid.
This has been a bad season for the Serie A teams after all of them were eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League this season, this is clearly a decline compared to last season.

Inter Milan was the best Italian team in Champions League these years and its disqualified was quite unexpected for me at least against Atletico Madrid. Simeone and his players did a good job kicking them from UEFA Champions League. That made things easier for the other top teams in my opinion.
Inter Milan will face Napoli in San Siro and they are expected to win and continue to dominate Serie A.
Inter must immediately move on from the painful defeat against Atletico in the Champions League and refocus on the main job of winning the title. It's not easy, with the heat of competition in Europe's elite club competition making Inter weak and it's easier to lose what they can defend. Playing against Napoli shouldn't be a difficult task, especially seeing as Napoli are not very consistent, at least this could be an additional 3 points for sure.
I know it must be very painful for Inter because they failed to take advantage of their excellent performance to compete in the UCL and were knocked out just because they failed to execute a penalty but in a game there is a win and there is a loss. Atlético Madrid is not an easy opponent for Inter so losing to them is something that is difficult. It's natural because it is also an elite team and to reduce that disappointment, Inter must play well in the league so that fans don't experience significant disappointment. Against Napoli, it should be a turning point for Inter to vent their previous defeat in the UCL. Napoli also experienced disappointment in the UCL. because they were defeated by Barcelona, so technically both teams had the same mental decline and I hope it doesn't drag on.
Inter have nothing else to distract them than to remain focus on Seria A to finish the job. It is very disappointing to see that Inter could not survive in the penalty kick which made the unable to partake in UCL anymore. No matter what level of seriousness Milan or Juventus put in the rest  games, it will still be impossible for any of them to win the league from Inter. Inter is planning to break the record of Juventus who finished the league with 102 points. If Inter can win all their matches, that record is a great achievement for them this season as it will be a history in Italy, not until a different clubs breaks that record.

There are some people who love to sit at the fence waiting to see bitcoin price dip to their expected price before they will buy. I know that many of them would have regretted their actions, but it is not tooate to regret not buying then, as bitcoin has offer us with a dip price of 67k for us to take advantage on buying more bitcoin. Those who have no bitcoin a d was waiting should use this opportunity to buy as long as they have the money, because no one knows if this will be the lowest price that we will see till the next bear market. If you don't have much on you, you can use DCA method that gives you the opportunity to buy bitcoin bit by bit regularly, weekly or monthly. We might still see more dips, but it is better to buy now than waiting.
