It's slowly recovering and is now at almost 50k once again. The Tesla news definitely caused a lot of uproar and disappointment from some of us. Although contrary to what most of the guys here suppose, I don't think Elon is trolling or memeing this time. He knew the detriments that bitcoin could cause to the environment, especially given the fact that most of us still get their internet and electricity from the burning of fossil/unrenewable fuels, which is directly opposite of what he wants.

We should not even focus on environmentalists now, we should focus on Elon Musk, he only wanted to use the opportunity to manipulate the market. Let us take a look at the scenario, he knows if he make go against bitcoin, that other crypto price will crash, that is just the reason he did it, but using bitcoin electricity consumption as an excuse, he only want the bear market of 2021 to begin.

A sudden price drop in the crypto markets along with the deepening points loss in the dow jones point to a a slow and steady downward trend as of late. Is the bull run of 2021 over? Are these the marks of the beginning of something much worse to come? A major recession, a new crypto winter? What could possibly be next? Any comments and thoughts are more than welcome.

The other EV brands will take time to capture market share for themselves. It will take many years before they are able to match the level of recognition attained by Tesla. And we still don't know much about the performance of these brands. Companies such as Jaguar and Volvo are pretty new to the EV sector. So if there is some issue with the technology, it is going to be very difficult for these companies to resolve them on time. The patents may be open source, but operational knowledge and experience can't be transferred directly.

I am not at all convinced by these electric vehicles: first of all, they still rely mostly on fossil fuels to run (sorry, the truth); secondly, their batteries are going to be another environmental bomb in the future (not considering the car itself is an actual bomb if something goes wrong!); third and last, at least here in Italy, charging station are not common, and if you live in rural areas and you make long trips, you are done.

In 2016, I lost more than $5000 in Forex trading. I was quite upset back then and it really exhausted. The main reason was because I did not know about trading but still entered it with a confident feeling. I had my friend supporting me in making any trade but unfortunately, he turned his back on me after provided me many false signals. Damn. It was really hurt. I felt like I was betrayed by one of the man I truly trust. My $5000 turned into $1000 after listening to his advice.

Then, I realized I can not trust anyone except myself. I spent more time to learn trading and obtain knowledge on youtube. There are many good courses actually. Now, I feel satisfy to what I did: being able to make stable income with trading

Another lesson to all of us again, $11 million is not that huge, but still these cyber criminals are getting free money in crypto space by attacking this vulnerabilities. Again, as I have said in the past, they are one step of the game. And for the devs, they really need to check their code as there are a lot of exploits that hackers are looking.

I have been in the Bitvest signature campaign for 5 years and a couple of months and I think its time for me to leave and say goodbye as I just don't have the time to make regular posts in this forum anymore and also I have not been able to earn merit so I will leave and let someone else fill the hero spot. Its been a pleasure working with Bitvest for all these years and earning close to 2 Bitcoins during that time which is something I thought I would never achieve. Just remember that when I started Bitcoin was just a few hundred dollars so back then we were earning a lot more in sats then now but it just goes to show that you can achieve anything if you stick to your goals and work hard as it can pay off in the long term.

OK, enough of me rambling on, I wish everyone in the campaign all the best and to the current and previous campaign managers. Thanks for everything and a big thanks to Lightlord for an amazing campaign which has stood the test of time and I believe will continue on for many years ahead.

Goodbye!

I sold my DOGE for 5$ of gains three days before this insane DOGE rally began.
Could have been over 100$, instead 5$

It's been a while since I looked at the thread and I am quite surprised how the poll turned out in the end. At the start the number of people who sold their signature earnings into fiat currency again was a very small. But now it is more than 60% of the people here who sell at least some of their signature earnings again. This might be related due to the high bitcoin price lately, but still there is so much room for bitcoins to improve. I would not sell any coins tight now. Gambling with our coins is fine because we can grow our crypto portfolio. But once we  sell our coins we won't profit from any future appreciation.

That's true, that is why there is a minimum, some give 15 a week, that's already very low and there's no reason one cannot fulfill that requirement if he values his spot in a campaign. This kind of job has low requirements, we just post, share our opinion and we are getting paid, this is a kind of privilege that we should enjoy and value since it's a way of getting free bitcoin which is very valuable now and in the future.

That's also one of my weakness when it comes in trading, due to FOMO, sometimes I cannot hold my tokens. There are also times that it ended up losing my money. I'm become greedy in different times and I need to control it. Patience and become consistent even its just 10 - 20% of profit is enough.

Exactly, earlier this year I had a feeling binance coin would do great and picked interest in investing in it. Bought a couple with some friends and it begins to give us profit. Initially I wanted to hold until the end of year but due to the pressure of securing profit before a sudden market crash, we lost the opportunity to be among those happily rejoicing because of the return of investment their investment has given.

Whats funny was that I brought up the idea of buying the BNB and it was very early in February, BNB was just trading around $40 that means judging from the current price we should have been seating on 10x+ our investment right now. The lesson here is to invest individually so you can call all the shot and not combining with friends to invest.

A lots of shitcoins happened few years back, some got value back then after being listed but the developers abadoned the project and
ends up nothing.

Those who holds and wait for more developments just wasted the opportunities, lesson learned from that, if there's no real usages then
there's nothing to wait with such kind of token/coin.

Do your DYOR as always there's no sure thing inside this sphere so come and live as it is.

We need to be grateful, because due to Covid many people work from home, this is why the new Altseason has come.  so the pandemic does not always cause harm, only how do we react to it

It cannot be denied that when it comes to gambling, emotional attitudes, ambition are always there and only self-control should be exercised and applied in gambling.
and that all must be overcome with self-control, try to play calmly and have the principle that you are responsible for what you play and must be disciplined, and under any circumstances should be calm and stay focused on the game so that you do not miss a lucky moment.
