Since there is no guarantee in Bitcoin trading or investment, using loan money isn't a good idea. However, we cannot state every person using loan money is stupid or weird, depending on how his knowledge and experience in crypto trading/investment. For a newbie, using loan money to trade/invest is a totally stupid idea. But for a crypto expert or a professional crypto trader/investor, using loan money to gain bigger profits may be a good idea since they know well how to gain profits and can minimize the opportunity of losses. So, there is nothing wrong with using loan money as long as the person knows well how to gain profits from trading/investment although it is not recommended to use.

Yep. We must be grateful although we can't get everything we want or plan. Sometimes a failure is a way to give us something more useful and more meaningful because it gives us a lesson. When our plan in trading or in investment cannot be achieved, it makes us evaluate the reasons why it happens. From this evaluation, we can get a better way in trading or in investment, also we become aware to identify and avoid the causes of the failure. A failure today may be the beginning of a better way for our crypto trading or investment, even it is probably the cause of a big success in the future.

What's wrong with Europa League? Do you think Sevilla will release substitutional players and get 0 points against Alaves?
Sevilla coach, Julen Lopetegui, should know the best decision to apply for the next match. He won't use all the substitution players to play against Alaves. He knows that getting 3 points in this match is also important for Sevilla. So, he must still release Sevilla key players in the next match, even if he may rest some of the main players. Well, I believe he will do this because he is an experienced coach.

Not only about the age, but it is also about the chance. It is a perfect chance to move since many great offers from top clubs, this may not come twice. Those top clubs want to sign him with expensive transfer fees and a big salary if he wants to join them now. They may change their mind if Haaland cannot play well again in the next season with Dortmund, they may be not interested anymore. So, he will risk his career if he tries to stay in his current club.

Regarding his achievement in Dortmund, I agree if he already reached his maximum. He doesn't need to prove anything again there. What he must think is to have harder challenges with bigger clubs. So, he can be stronger than what he can achieve right now.

Why we should compare Bitcointalk and Altcoinstalks? Do you think our forum policy must follow Altcoinstalks policy? Anyway, having many ranks doesn't make Altcoinstalks forum better than Bitcointalk. To be honest, I don't see any advantages to having the Mythical and Padawan ranks. That only makes a more complicated rank system on the forum. So, why we must follow it?

Mate, if we want to appreciate those people who have dedicated their efforts and time here, doesn't mean should grant them with new higher ranks in this forum. Admin can choose other ways that can be more efficient than creating new ranks. For example, by making a different color on their tags. That is simpler and easier, isn't it?

It is true that Real Madrid is too dependent on Benzema but that doesn't mean they can't win without Benzema. During this season, there were some matches that Benzema was absent, but Real Madrid still could win and got 3 points although they seem to have a harder match without him. I believe Vinicius and Asensio can score even they have no Benzema on the lineups. However, I really hope Benzema can play in the upcoming match, he has no problem with his health, so he can be the starter for sure. Against Real Sociedad, I don't expect they will get a draw, especially playing at home. So, Real Madrid should get 3 points to secure their position on the top of La Liga standings. 

Why do you expect ADA to grow x4 this year? Do you see any signal/reason for ADA to increase again its price significantly?
I'm not an ADA fan and not really following the updated news of this coin. I was holding some ADA coins last year but not earning so many profits from this coin. So far, I think ADA doesn't increase its value as significant as other coins, that's why I have sold all my ADA coins and have no intention to buy again ADA coins this year. But let me know if you heard something interesting about ADA coin, especially an issue about this coin lately.

I support the decision made by Binance refusing to block Russian wallets. It indicates Binance has a high dedication to upholding the decentralized system, not influenced by the policies or decisions of any country in the world. We have to remember that Binance isn't a partnership of any government in the world, so Binance has no obligation to follow the decisions of any government. We must give appreciation to Binance that they show us a neutral attitude or a neutral decision, Binance doesn't follow the political actions of any country during this war.

Since Leicester City is too dependent on Vardy, they will have a problem on the attacking line too once Vardy is injured or can't show his best performance. Yep, Vardy is already 35 years old, his speed isn't as well as before. If Leicester City only uses a counter-attack strategy, it probably doesn't work again in the next season. They need a young central forward that can replace Vardy's role. Unfortunately, there are no other central forwards of Leicester City that can be the successor of Vardy. Iheanacho and Daka have a different style in attacking, can't be said as a perfect successor for Vardy.

Why too early? I don't think it is too early?
He has a chance to join a bigger club this season, many big clubs want to sign him. Those big clubs consider him because he performed well this season. Some big clubs want to sign him with big transfer fees and offer a big salary. But if he stays in Dortmund, there is no guarantee he will perform better in the next season, those big clubs may offer smaller transfer fees if his performance is decreasing. The chance to join a bigger club with high transfer fees and a bigger salary may not come twice. This must be a serious consideration if he decides to stay a longer time in Dortmund.

Yep. Although Xavi can improve the current squad and it is much better than the Koeman era, Xavi needs to prove us with something first. Let him bring Barcelona to the top 3 on La Liga standings at the end of this season, at least. This should be the first target of Xavi before he brings Barcelona to be more competitive in the next season. With the current Barcelona squad, we cannot expect too much for a trophy this season, the top 3 on La Liga can be a reasonable achievement for Xavi. We can compare Xavi with Pep Guardiola after Xavi managed Barcelona for several seasons and with a better squad.

Yes, Xavi has given a great contribution to improving the current Barcelona squad. Sure, he doesn't need to prove it with a trophy this season since it is rather impossible. We may talk about achieving a trophy in the next season after everything can be better and improved well.

There are some mistakes you made here since you said that you were new in crypto and just started your journey.

1. Never think to get profits instantly when you are new, better to focus on learning first.

2. Don't use a big amount of money on the first journey, $50 - $100 is enough to start your crypto investment. Then, you can use a bigger amount of money when you think you already have enough knowledge and experience in crypto investment.

3. Avoid using loan money for crypto investment, just use your extra money. Use the money that you can afford to lose, that's what people often say for the recommended funds to use in crypto investment.

4. Investing in meme coins are too risky for a newcomer. As far as I know, the meme coin is one of the hardest types of crypto coins to invest in because mem coins are very very unpredictable and have no fundamentals. Most meme coins are only used by the whales to earn huge profits by using pump-dump schemes. A newbie is probably difficult to follow this pump-dump scheme.

I hope you can take a big lesson from your first huge loss and never do the same mistake in the future. 

I don't understand what you are trying to explain to me. We are discussing Bitcoin price changes or Bitcoin price cycles, there is nothing to do with Bitcoin adoption. 

Indeed. The price level may be different but the scheme is probably the same as previously. We know Bitcoin halving is one of the biggest factors to trigger Bullrun. And it has been proven several times, please check again the correlation between BTC halving and Bullrun (bullish) and Bearish. I don't say that the lowest Bitcoin price in the next Bearish will be the same as in 2018-2019, I only stated the cycle to return as in the previous ones.

There is no certainty in crypto market. BTC can surprise us at any time. But Looks like it will be difficult to reach a new ATH this year. Don't forget about the cycle of Halving/Bullrun/Bearish, we seem in the early of Bearish season.

The biggest problem leading to the worse performance of this club this season is their defensive line. We know Vardy is still one of the candidates of top scorers in EPL, it indicates they actually have no problem in attacking line. But their defenders performed very poorly, they are already conceded 43 goals although they made 39 goals so far. This learns us something that having great strikers will be useless if that club has poor defenders. This is a big task for Brendan Rodgers as a coach, to improve their defensive line if they don't want to be relegated to the lower competition next season.

There is no problem with the shopping list and it is not a bad idea. Those strikers who are on the list are top strikers, who deserve to join Real Madrid. Regarding the chance to be signed by Real Madrid, not all players on the list must be signed, it is only their targets (including main targets and alternatives). I am very very sure that Real Madrid management is professional enough to determine which players to be their priority to sign. They are not a group of dumb people who want to waste their money by putting all top strikers in the world in their squad. If they already have Mbappe and Haaland, they must stop buying more top strikers. Instead, they may sell some current strikers that they think are not valuable for the squad. By the way, do you underestimate or doubt the capability of Real Madrid management?  

Indeed. If we analyzed the current performance of Real Sociedad, Real Madrid should have a bigger chance to win. Real Madrid is unbeatable in the last 5 matches, wins 3 and draws 2. While Real Sociedad only wins 2, draws 2, and lost 1. Real Sociedad attackers are also in a problem, they seem to have a difficulty in scoring. Also, their defense looks a bit weaker, they even suffered 4 conceded goals against Athletic on matchday 25.

Still too early to compare with the Pep Guardiola era. Xavi just began to rebuild the Barcelona squad, there are still many weaknesses in the current squad. While in the Pep Guardiola era, Barcelona squad is almost perfect. They have incredible attackers, smart+creative midfielders, and strong defenders. Also, there are too many superstars in the squad at that time. So, it is still very much different from the current squad.

Very much agree with your explanation. If we are talking about the Bullrun cycle and BTC halving every 4 years, this year is the beginning of the bearish season. So, it is rather difficult to expect a market recovery this year or the next 2 years. When people expect crypto coins/tokens to achieve their ATHs again, on the contrary the prices are starting to drop gradually. It is not a proper time to expect Bullrun or uptrend anymore although a rebound/pump may happen at any time before the next dump. Yes, in theory, the right time to expect the recovery is in 2025.

Yep, too early to give up. As long as we are still brave to hold our coins and that coins are established coins, there is always an opportunity to see the prices increasing significantly again and our selling target may be achieved. At least, we still have a hope to see the significant pumps again in the next bullish (2024-2025). It is true that the trend is unpredictable, but there is a schedule of Bitcoin halving that becomes the indicator of the next Bullrun. We can make a plan by learning the BTC Halving & Bullrun scheme.

Just prepare and use your USDT when you think it is a safe time to buy. It is not a must to buy again in each dip or correction. Never buy blindly because the trend can change at any time as you said before (unpredictable).

Most people shouldn't predict accurately what will happen in the future. Even Satoshi may be surprised to see how great the development of Bitcoin price is and its adoption nowadays. But you must have a feeling that Bitcoin price must be growing continuously at that time? Have you bought some Bitcoin in 2012 and still hold them till now? If I were you, I have been already bought some Bitcoins in 2021. Unfortunately, I just know Bitcoin in 2017-2018, a bit late to buy Bitcoin, but not really too late.

I guess you are from the same country as me.
If you are Indonesian, you must understand that our government allows Bitcoin/crypto investment. Our government only forbids Bitcoin or altcoins to use as payment tools since it breaks our laws. I think the government has given a good policy, they don't ban Bitcoin or altcoins at least. Regarding the difficulties to access some top exchanges, it may be related to your network provider issues.

Baik, kalau demikian silahkan saja.

Apa maksud agan thread ini tidak terkait lagi dengan thread sebelumnya?  
Menurut saya, meskipun thread ini berubah OP nya, harus tetap berdasarkan fundamental di thread awalnya. Kecuali ini thread memang thread baru dan tidak berkaitan lagi dengan thread sebelumnya. Ya wajar saja kalau terus dikaitkan dengan thread lama, toh thread ini kan perpanjangan thread sebelumnya. Masalah kalau agan bilang saya oposisi, silahkan saja.
