I reason with what you said, if investing in stocks with crypto is a viable option or will be a profitable venture, I believe that some crypto developers would have created something for it, so I guess that it's not a very good business reasoning and that is why something like that is not popular yet. I'll rather use fiat to buy stock through a certified stockbroker, to avoid being a victim of scammers, then I'll just go on and hodl my Bitcoin, as we're entering bull run.

My Countdown to Sr. Member Rank
Number of Merit(s) Left: 11 7 3 0

I really want to thank every member that made it possible and easier for me to reach senior member rank, I'm very grateful.

A very special thanks to the five-star general that started this thread, I salute you sir.

I reason your question, and I believe say di reason wey many people take de buy dis memecoins wey you de call cats and dogs na because of quick profits, many people ready to gamble dem funds for a chance to gain plenty profit on the short term, but di reality be say most of di dev. teams of dos projects na scam dem carry for mind. No be everybody get dat patience to de hodl Bitcoin on di long term, de wait until bull run go come before dem begin to see plenty profit, so na man die once be dem way,  either say make dem profit or lose dem money.

Me personally i no get di risk absorber to buy all dis risky altcoins, na Bitcoin, wey sure pass all of dem and na im I de focus my investment capital on, apart from di baba, na only top altcoins, wey don proof dem reputations na im I fit to take my money buy.

I think that developers and investors can be responsible for the death of a coin or token, it just depends on the angle from where the coins meets it's dead end. Most times it's from the developers end, some will have the intention of exit scam before the project is launched in an exchange, the first set of investors, including them will make profit, then when more investors starts to buy,  the project will then die. Other times if a project doesn't live up to it's hype, investors will see it as a shitcoin, and that might be the beginning of the end for it.

No be lie, similarities de between corrupt minded politicians wey de give fake promises, only to get your vote and support, and scammers wey de create new projects with the aim of scamming investors, dem go hype their projects well well, only to disappear with people hard earned money. Investment in altcoins, de risky and anybody wey wan enter inside suppose get dis fact for dem mind, because most of dem na scam, even if you wan gamble your funds to buy dem, make you atleast know how to research dem. Aldo no be all di whole altcoins be scam, we get top altcoins like Ethereum, BNB and Solana, wey don proof like dem oga wey be Bitcoin say dem de reputable for di crypto market.

Thanks for this clarification, I believe that most investors that are holding Bitcoin, are just for business purposes, a store of value where they can put their money and believe that on the long run, it'll acrue many times over in ROI. Bitcoin holders can not be anti banks, because they use them to make fiat transactions everyday, most people that hodl Bitcoin will not even like to use it to make payments for purchases, they'll rather use fiat and hodl their Bitcoin. Also Bitcoin, holders in countries where it's not banned can't be anti government, why should they? The only thing that the governments can do is collect tax when they want to convert to fiat through CEX, but then they collect tax on almost every money related transactions.

Knowledge economy is not something new, it started from the stone age where individuals and societies that have superior intellects always used it to manipulate and lead those that are average and poor intellectually, to develop and increase their personal or national economy. Developments and economical advancements have gone through stages and what we have now is advanced technology, like the internet, AI and modern warfare, countries that have these in abundance like the US, China and some western European countries, have very rich economies, unlike a continent like Africa, that is still backwards with leaders that are not proactive.

Nobody can pinpoint a perticular date when the upward trend will start that Bitcoin will continually be bullish till it reaches it's peak, the only thing we can do is just to speculate price, because it's a volatile market. There's a reason why Bitcoin is long term investment, so patience is a virtue while holding it, although nobody can stop the holder from selling at anytime, but it's worth the wait to sale in the peak of bull run to maximize ROI. You've said it that bull run will start in a couple of months, and the history of other bull runs attests to it that after halving it'll happen like that, so I won't worry because the time of harvest is almost at hand.

I don't have experience of divorce, neither have a withnessed a divorced couple that came back together as husband and wife again, but I believe that it's possible, because marriage should be by choice. I think that it'll be very rare for divorced couples to reunite and marry again, even if they later realize that it was a mistake for them to go their separate ways, they'll still move on because of their pride, and they'll hope to meet someone better. I don't think that it's a good idea for divorced couples to come back and remarry again, because they might live in fear of offending each other again, to avoid another divorce, and this might remove the excitement in the marriage.

Merely being active with many posts can not guarantee your growth in the forum, if the posts are of low quality, then it makes no sense, you'd rather do 1 quality post in a day and it's ok. As a newbie, there's no pressure to do any specific number of posts, because you're not yet in a signature campaign, so the focus on newbies should be to learn about Bitcoin and the crypto space to increase their knowledge. Don't let merit to be your primary reason to make posts everyday on the forum, because if it doesn't come as you expect, it can be very frustrating, so focus on learning and posting quality crypto contents and you'll eventually get merit and rank up.

One year ago people were contemplating whether Solana, will survive, this is the irony of the crypto market, a developer team can make all the difference, if they're proactive like the Solana team. As it stands today, Solana, is ahead of MATIC, and almost every comments on this thread has attested to that, but MATIC, dev. team can come out strong with new innovations like Solana, and change their naretive, because nobody is talking much about them now.

I clearly don't understand how things work in united states, and as it regards abortion laws, if Donald trump's, administration was anti abortion, the present Joe Biden, administration is pro abortion, then I think it's a good thing that we're in an election year, so let the American people vote for what they want.

I based what I said about misinformation on the report that Donald Trump, said that it's states that'll determine whether they'll allow abortions in their states or not, if he actually said that, then if any states outlaws abortion, it has nothing to do with the federal government. I think that even if abortion is banned in any states, there should be clause that'll covers rape cases.

E get one book wey I read SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen Covey, di book really relate to dis topic. Habit 1, begin with the end in mind, e talk about beginning with envisioning di goal wey you wan achieve, na im go give you di energy and motivation to achieve am. Habit 2, first things first, meaning say you need to go through di process to achieve that goal. If person follow di 7 habits, e go de easier for am to fit to hodl a store of value like Bitcoin, for up to ten years without distractions.

Aldo sometimes di mind go de willing to delay collecting gratification or ROI, but e get problem like health issues wey fit to hit person, wey im no go get a better option but to prematurely sale im Bitcoin before di planned time. But person wey get a steady source of income, wey sale im investment to buy luxury items or trow party wey no be di original goal of di investment, dat person de indiscipline and im fit no make am for life, because im no de financially effective.

I think that the genesis of all cryptos in the meme category being called memecoins could be because the first meme, being dogecoin, is a coin, so the name became a catch for others in the meme category, whether it's a coin or token. I guess what matters to memecoins investors is making quick profits whether it's a coin or token doesn't really matter.

I think that Shiba Inu, is next in line like you said, to become a coin like doge, they're planning to launch their own Blockchain, which is a good innovation by their dev. team. There's a thread about it on this forum.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5495467.msg64042641#msg64042641

Nothing lasts for ever and any young person that understands this will know that money in your hands can finish, therefore it's very important to plan for old age when you're not able to work to earn more money. So the importance of savings and investments when the money is pouring in can not be overwhelmed, a person that spends all that they earn will become a dependent or a destitute in old age, when they're too weak to work.

Although with the rate of poverty in most underdeveloped countries, the concept of savings and investments is a mirage to them, because when you don't even earn enough money to eat a decent meal, how will you be talking about savings, not to mention investment. What I'm saying will sound like fiction to people in developed countries and the rich in impoverished countries, but the truth is that there many people in this poor countries, who are just hopelessness, they don't even remember that there's a future.

A big thanks again to @Anphenomenon, for being on time to deliver anoda monthly overview update, wey you take over from oga @Igebotz, you no fall our hand, thanks again.

I know say with time you go de add best quality posters as oga Igebotz, de do for us, dat category na real morale booster im be. I also hope say merit reward for best quality posters go return on day for dis thread. Lastly, if every accounts wey you de mention go de get notifications, I believe say e go help increase comments for dis thread every month. But no pressure, you de do well.

I think that now might not necessarily be the last chance to buy Bitcoin, because bull run is just getting started and as most of us are speculating that Bitcoin price will go above $150k in the peak of the season, that it's still safe to keep accumulating. I personally don't bother much about this short term pump and dump because we're entering the bull run, I just focus on my DCA method, and I'll only consider slowing down on buying, if price reaches approximately $120k, this is my strategy for buying Bitcoin in this season. I think that it's newbies that will panic and sale anytime that price dips on the road to bull run, experience investors will still hodl their Bitcoin, because they know that it's only a matter of time and price will start to surge.

Thanks for correcting this misinformation, the US is a top democratic government, and the definition of democracy is about the voice and wish of the people, therefore insinuating that a president will impose his personal will or religious beliefs in a country like the USA is not possible. I think that the OP is a supporter of Joe Biden, and is campaigning for him, but let's not forget that Donald Trump, was once a US president, so the American people in this forum will answer better if he had tried to push for a notional ban on abortion. I think that Americans are in a better position to choose their next president, one is the current president and the other is the former president, so let them vote who they think will serve them better as the next president.

Bitcoin is one of the best investments that anybody can go into, and you're in the right place to learn and gain knowledge about it, you just need to understand some basics to start the investment. Bitcoin is not a short cut to riches, meaning that you need to hold it on the long term for you to get a desirable ROI, also you can adopt the DCA method to continuously accumulate it. Keep your seed phrase in a very secured location, because if you misplace it or it's stolen, that means that your Bitcoin can be lost forever. We're entering bull run, that means that if you start accumulating now, in about one year's time, there's high chances that you'll get more than x2  of your investment capital.

I'll have to commend the Shiba Inu, developer team for being relentless in adding innovations to their project, this is something that other altcoins should emulate, I believe that we can see a positive impact from their leyer 3 Blockchain. Remember that people were skeptical about Solana, whether it was going to survive last year, but their dev. team went to work and today everybody is talking about Solana, so we can not write off Shiba Inu, yet. The crypto market is volatile and quite unpredictable, a token that is pronounced worthless can resurrect and become bullish.
