I agree with you. Bitcoin is now between 23,000$ and 23,500$. Next fluctuations are going to define with certainity if we can really consider a new support level or if we should still take in consideration Bitcoin may drop to 22,000$ and 21,000$.
Personally, I expect Bitcoin to remain stable on this price range, or to continue rising from 1000$ in 1000$ for the next months. I don't believe in a hard crash in this year of 2023. The currently scenario looks a preparation for a strong and intense bull run that should happen next year.

That is why gamblers should be smart when using the jackpot prize won from slot-machines. If they continue gambling, of course they are going to lose the entire prize along the months or years, without hiting another jackpot of the same size, because it's really unlikely.

If those lucky winners simply use their money wisely, making it grow through investments, they can make extra income from that and use the generated income to continue their gambling hobby. This way they aren't going to lose on long run, because thanks to gambling they achieved a lifetime extra income which allows them to maintain their gambling activity in a frequent basis.

It's not a false bull or bull trap, as the tendency is already lasting for a whole month, and probably it will. I believe if it were a trap it wouldn't have lasted for longer than one week. Bitcoin is retaking its previous position from last year, before the time seasonal holidays started, that is usually when people cashout their funds to travel and buy gifts, consequently crashing BTC. However, there can be bull traps soon on Bitcoin's way towards superior price ranges, such as 40,000$ and 50,000$.

Who knows... Less scams would be a decent plus to crypto industry, so more people would feel encouraged to become enthusiasts and we could filter worthful earnings' opportunites from the useless/scammy ones easier and faster. Altcoins bounties' section should be a great board for newbies start collecting their first cryptocurrencies and growing it into something substantial within time, like many of us had the opportunity to do in the early years, but with so many junk offers there, it's really challenging to pick a good task to complete until the end. Let's hope this reality can still change soon.

DCA should be done in the moment you receive your paycheck. If you earn weekly, do it weekly, if you earn monthly, do it monthly. It's important to follow this strategy, so you don't distract yourself purchasing another stuff in your daily routine that will compromise your DCA plan.

Also, make sure to write the price you are buying BTC each new turn in a spreadsheet, so once you cashout your profits futurely, you can calculate accurately how much you have made and how much you have invested.

I don't think KYC should be required in every cases. Gamblers who stay under the radar shouldn't have they IDs asked, just like it currently happens in most crypto casinos around. If casinos have to follow KYC procedure, that they do it with big players. On that case I agree KYC should be demanded on winnings and losses. It can't be used as a tool to kidnap gamblers' winnings, but as a measure to prevent money laundering, as it was firstly designed to.

So, it's acceptable big players who are losing huge amounts of money comply with KYC, just like the ones trying to withdraw huge sums of money.

Talking about Turkey, maybe the next NFT collection to be launched is going to be from Koksal Baba, what do you think?

They have similar fan-bases, and I believe he is even more popular than Hasbulla in Turkey, since he is native from your country, and he also has a history of participating advertisements' campaigns, video clips plus million of views on Youtube.

And even if whales wished to liquidate all their holdings, in an attempt to drive bitcoin's price to zero, that would be great and healthy for the market, because we would finally get rid of manipulation here, as all the coins dropped by them for sale would be immediately purchased by new and small investors who were waiting bitcoin to get cheaper to invest. Indeed there would be a momentaneous crash in price, but that should be instantly reverted by a bullish tendendy due to removing the big players from the game. Whales aren't crazy to do that, though. That would be too good to be true.

It's addictive because it's accessible and reachable at anytime, since you have connection with the internet, what isn't hard nowadays too. The individual doesn't even need to get up from his bed to start gambling. Everything is done at the reach of his fingers. OP is right, and it's much more encouraging than having to go to a land based casino which is far from home or in another city. If the person isn't attentive to his gambling habits, the risks of developing an addiction are much more severe than in the previous era, when there weren't virtual casinos yet.

Nowadays with internet and crypto casinos, to ban gambling games in their country doesn't make sense, because any japanese citizen can simply sign up at one crypto casino, make a bitcoin deposit and start playing any game he likes and can't physically on his native country. Although it's bad news for japanese who want to start a gambling business, it's good news for online casinos which see their customers' base increasing exponentially because of government's measures like that.

You don't necessarily need to import goods from Alibaba or China. I don't know how the demand for such cheap product in EU is, but I guess you could try something more refined and elaborated. Since you want to invest your BTCs, the most logical alternative is imports, without any doubts, as Bitcoin is a boardless currency, very convenient to negotiate with people from other countries in an accessible way.

But first, check what the demand in your area is for, then go for that category of good, but not the cheap, copy ones. Import original goods of high quality and look for customers who are willing to pay the fair price for it. And don't stick to China only. Maybe you could even import something from an european country which you know you are going to resell easily.

In some cases it also applies. But regards altcoins, there is still a practical purpose on why we should acquire and hold them for real benefits.

True, but if you can speculate on something which has a practical usage it's more advised than speculating on NFTs which have as main argument the uniqueness of the pieces, although you can reproduce each of them for free with a simple print-screen function on your keyboard. The potential of these artistic NFT collections is the same potential of memecoins. Today they have demand, but tomorrow they might not have anymore, because it's exclusively about hype, instead of real benefits and application.

That was an example of scarcity, originality that could never be replaced by a digital format of art.

Because of the speculation which can last until tomorrow only, and not because those NFTs are considered outstanding art pieces. Speculative price can be 1$ million dollars, but artistic value of those NFTs is zero.

Regards NFTs, do you mean? In some months or years nobody will know what apes and punks are anymore and enthusiasts holding those pictures on their wallets are going to see their investments melting down... And that is not hate, just an alert for investors who are being deluded by this category of crypto investment.

No, just look how many crypto related businesses there are nowadays. Basically these businesses rely on bitcoin for the survival of their businesses. These people won't let bitcoin reach to zero. There is a whole ecosystem composed by employers, employees, developers, freelancers, investors, traders, merchants who beneft from bitcoin in a daily basis. Moreover, without bitcoin I don't think we would have access to a real decentralized currency which nobody can shut down or print more of it as they wished. The trust bitcoin achieved from adopters is unique and it's also a factor to boost the currency's price.

I believe each country has to solve the problems inside their own houses, before partnering with others. By mixing argentinian and brazilian currencies, they are bringing the consequences of internal economical problems from Argentina to the brazilians, and vice-versa.

Each country has its political and economical systems which were chosen by citizens in democractic elections. By doing this, authorities might be mixing systems people from one country or another aren't confortable with. And considering how chaotic is the economical situation in Argentina and Brazil right now, I don't see it as productive measure.

Anyway, the proposal doesn't replace the currently Real and Peso by a new currency. It's different from the Euro in Europe. They would coexist and the usage wouldn't be imposed to every citizens from both nations.

Regards Africa, well, it's not a common currency for the whole continent which is going to be the solution for their problems.

Probably it's not going to be a major company, but minor ones ran by car dealers who resell used, second hand cars in different countries and regions. Since it's a tough business full of competition among each other, these professional sellers have to be creative and offer their customers different payment options. The more the better, and that is where bitcoin comes in handy. During a negotiation, bitcoin might be the decisive factor!

Tesla had plans of accepting BTC and DOGE as payment, but later it was revealed to be just a speculative declaration for manipulative purposes.

Bitcoin for long term gains and stocks market for stability, plus dividends income. Both are good alternatives for your money to avoid letting it idle depreciating in fiat currency, but right now I'm more confident in BTC than anything else from stocks market. The lack of trust in companies and institutions is really worrying investors around the world, while bitcoin becomes an alternative in this scenario of uncertainties and mistrust.

The ideal is to acquire a house, but sometimes we have no choice besides renting. Like myself, I've been always against renting, but now I had to go for it, paying 135$ monthly in a suite, in order to be able to seek for a higher educational level in another city. I concluded we can't be too strict on our views in a way it's going to paralyze us in life. Life is constant movement, and if we have to "waste money" renting a house or apartment to advance in life and persue goals, that we do it without regrets!

Also, if you live somewhere precarious and non-promising because a temporary job, better that you just rent, as the investment there will be lost, since these areas don't make your property gain value on long term.

Governments run ponzi schemes through their national currencies which are heavily manipulated by the central banks. If they adopt bitcoin or a strong stable currency, like dollar, they won't be able to continue their populist welfare programs which distribute "free" money to the poor class, while raising their own wages and increasing the number of useless jobs' spots in the state for their friends.

Actually, governments don't want to fix the economy for real, because it's seen as an unpopular measure in the eyes of the masses. So they prefer to play with "shitcurrencies".

SHIB is following BTC trend upside in this beginning of 2023. It's a good moment for those investors who were in loss with their SHIB portfolios to get rid of this token while they can and invest in something promising for the future. On the other hand, if you are risk taker, you might prefer to continue holding and see how far SHIB can reach yet, although personally I don't think it's a good idea, since the price of this token is blatantly manipulated in large scale.

I really can't sell that, because nobody will have interest in purchasing, since just like me, they can also get a .jpg identical copy for free. On the other hand, you could never have an identical Monalisa painting copy for free. The market of art pieces can work only in physical format.

NFT artistic pieces are purely speculative and a method to launder money virtually.

I believe NFTs have a lot of potential, but inside online multiplayer games only, as they have unique usages on practice there.
