I saw Bitcoin at  $69k , + $16k,  and now $44k . I don't think I have an inch of fear of missing out. I have been here , I am here and I will still be here doing my biweekly DCA bull or bear season. Bitcoin will most definitely hit $50k on or before December 31st

Learning a new skill cannot be easy. If it is easy then the person isn't learning anything. Trading is hard if you have no background in working in investment banks or the big 4 or other financial institutions. It usually starts hard and then get easy as you climb up and add more knowledge.

This forum is a value tool and good to know that the OP's friend was able to make the best of it. It doesn't just stop there though after learning the basics he has to go further and learn how be emotionally resilient. A trader must be in control of his emotions and not allow his emotions lord over him.

I use the Binance mobile app specifically the pro version. 


The app does this if you already set alert for a trading pair, you will get price point notifications , percentage change notifications

Based on my usage, Binance.

AVOID PUNTERS LIKE YOU WOULD AVOID COVID.
This is for sports betting if you intend to explore that aspect of gambling. Punters lie. They are deceivers. Every other week they will share pictures of their bet slip winnings or codes unbeknown to you that they work hand in hand with the sportsbook. More naive sports bettors will rush to that sports book and bet and lose woefully.

There are many other stories about these folks. Stay away from them online and offline.

This is the solution to the problem. Used other cryptocurrencies that is accepted by the casinos. As a gambler you have to think like a business person which is to keep your expenses very low. It makes no sense to spend more on transaction fee if there are cheaper alternatives. You can learn how to use other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Litecoin, and also USDT mentioned above.

Bet smartly.

Let him find out for himself. Trying to discourage him or talk him out of his plan will strengthen his resolve to want to go further. The irony here is that if it should work out for him the first time, he will do it again and again until he faces a huge loss but if he losses the first time, he'll hang his head in shame and agree that you were right.

If you know the say he intends to execute his plan, be there with him and don't say a word. Maybe your presence will play a small role in discouraging him from overdoing it.

I have experienced this just once but since then I have not had that issue. And remembering it now and saying to myself that I was to be blamed for the issue. What casinos should do is to make try as much as possible to make the KYC requirement to be a prerequisite for funding the and playing. This way it will not seem like the casino is being shady. It removes confusions and make the gambler aware from the onset what is expected of him before he can make full use of the casino features.

Between remorse, guilt, pain, and anger I wonder which is strongest felt when a gambler losses or even realizes that they have just gambled way their life's savings or money that was supposed to be used for something important. If you have ever been in a bet shop what you will soon realize is that these emotions are but fleeting. They do last up to 30minutes. These gamblers are so full of false hope or disillusion that they believe that they can recover the money they lost if they try again but the story remains the same.

Holding is more a situation of self-denial than suffering. In self-denial especially if you are a student, a salary earner and not a professional investor or venture capitalist, you denial yourself of new watch or a vacation or a new gadget, car or your favourite thing in the world just to invest that piece of it in bitcoin and hold. That is how I understand the picture to be. It is filled with ups and downs. Some months, you don't want feel like denying yourself of that good thing but you do it anyways for the future.

This is very relatable. I hate remote work sometime. Humans are social being not being with others is frustrating sometimes. At other times, my productivity and efficiency sky-rockets as the distractions are less and I don't have to be bothered about wearing a smily face when I am in no mood for smiling or laughing with anyone.

I also miss commuting to work every morning and back in the evenings. It is this little thing that I find the tinest joys of life. Looking at the faces of the other commuters.

I try to have a daily to-dos. My days starts at 7 in the morning unless the days when I have a meeting with colleagues in a different time zone. I wrap up usually with work by 3pm after finishing up with my tasks.

I love sweet stories of people investing in Bitcoin. You know, whenever these stories are told, we often forget that it wasn't a straight path. One of the best things that has ever happened to the world is Bitcoin, and it is easy to see because at first, they ignored it; then it started to get more support, and then they tried to shut it down. All other strategies have failed, and we are right now in the phase where they are trying to indirectly own and control it through their Bitcoin ETFs. And this is what makes it all the more exciting.

Investing in Bitcoin is one thing; investing in learning about how to secure your bitcoins is another thing that you must take seriously because people lose their bitcoins more to the loss of their keys than to scammers and hackers.

Yes, as long as it is in the control of an adult. By kids I want to believe you mean 0-18 years old. When they come of age, the the custody of the bitcoin like key phrase can be revealed or released to the kids

This is pretty straightforward. Just as I learned to secure my bitcoin. It is not rocket science.

Can't and won't happen. If they do it so it defeats the principle of decentralization - control in the hands of the people not any central agency

Furthermore, parents should first teach their kids financial literacy. Which includes, the history of money, savings, investments, budgeting, etc. When the kids get a good hold of this, then they can proceed to teach them about bitcoin

Every bitcoin holder should take their security to be the topmost priority. And one of the ways for to be very security conscious is to test small transactions which provides a secure way to confirm that your bitcoin is going to the address it is intended to . And it is recommended for everyone this will ensure that they are familiar with the process and avoid significant losses in case of errors. Another thing to do is to always  double-check transactions if there is an iota of doubt.

Yes.
They are not stupid. There are a thousand and more ways for mixers to go about with their adverts some in very subtle ways and others in newer and less suspicious ways. My stance is that mixers are not bad in itself but the bad elements using them gives them the bad reputation.

They'll change the way they mix their coins and how they tell people about what they do.

I have constantly asked myself how the community would fit in the principle of bitcoin's core principles of decentralization while looking for a solution to the issue of scaling. Since we are in an evolving space we may find the perfect solution to it.

A business plan is basically a document that elaborates on the idea you have to make money through rendering a service or offering goods for sale. Irrespective of how wealthy you are, your business must be built on an idea or sets of ideas. That's why companies have vision and mission statements.
Consequently, I may not have the idea but I have the money and choose to invest in someone else's idea for a piece of equity on the business.

This is a good one.

No need to panic now. Even though the members can do whatever they please by removing the avatar, they should wait for the managers who I believe will have the announcement coming out soon.

Note that signature campaigns are actual business plans for businesses, real companies and organizations. Or if I may say companies with investors, budgets for marketing, sales and all other departments. They are a profit making organization and as such they have a marketing and sales budget some of which strictly goes into signature campaigns.

Maybe you haven't noticed but sometimes, the campaign managers will prune the number of participants in a campaign and their reason will be because the organization is cutting cost or reducing its budget. Something like this happened some weeks back in Shuffle campaign being managed by Little Mouse.

 Signatures campaigns are like ads. There more people visiting the website being advertised and patronizing them because of it.

Your topic brings to mind this one already discussed some time ago when the OP has a similar question. You can read about it - Greed or risk. You already know what you want, you can see it through to the end or you can cash out and be happy. If you allow the game to finish playing and end up losing it you may regret it but if you cash out, irrespective of the outcome, you will have no deep regret because you came out with something. Whatever choice you make, please return to give us an update on what outcome was. I'll be looking out for it.
