I missed this game today, coz when I checked the score board there was a huge lead already at the end of the 3rd quarter. So, I guess watching the whole 4Q would just be a waste of time lol.
I'm afraid this is going to be a GSW vs Cavs type of comeback. A 3-1 comeback since the Grizzlies have improved their offense since they lost Ja Morant for the rest of the series, and they tend to play better when Ja is not playing. It was already proven in the regular season.
Are the Grizzlies really that good without Ja? Man, this 2nd round series from either Boston/Bucks and GSW/Grizz is getting interesting.
Yes, it's a waste of time to look at the highlights too. I watched the full game live, they benched Steph, Draymond, and Klay at somewhere 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter with the Grizzlies having a humungous lead. Talk about giving up the game too early, this is the earliest that I have seen and it's in the damn playoffs/semis which ain't cool.

The Celtics vs Bucks though is not to be missed. Better watch the whole replay and you will surely be entertained. Jrue Holiday schooling defense to the Defensive Player of the Year.  Grin
With that huge lead, I think its best to just let them out and be ready for Game 6 instead of playing out there when they know already that there is no chance for them in winning in Game 5 and worse they might get their injury if they will still play. I don't consider it giving up for me but its part of their strategy to be ready for Game 6 Smiley.

I thought that the Warriors will finish it in road but it seems that I underestimated the Grizzlies team too much. Well, they are 20-5 when Morant isn't playing so it just shows that anybody can step up offensively and be the leading scorer of the team. This will not be like the Warriors-Cavs where the GSW blew up their 3-1 lead to lose in the NBA Finals for me.

What are your thoughts on LUNA? What will happen in the next 24 hours? Will it go to 0 or up?
It will not go to 0 because as long as it has buyers, it will not go to 0 but I don't think in the short term it will go up.
TBH, with what happened to LUNA and with what is happening right no with the market we might see LUNA under a penny.

If the developers will not make a solution to what is happening right now to them and if they will not fix the problem regarding UST then they will be in an absolute disaster (even though they are right now already). If you want to make a huge risk, you can trade LUNA short term on exchanges where it is listed now but don't hold it mid to long term. Good thing I didn't buy this one because I'm also eyeing on this coin for quite some time.
3343  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to expect in a bear market on: May 12, 2022, 11:11:25 AM
1. Not all your so called "gems" are actually gems, wait for bear market and see how they perform because many of them will die off due to lack to good volume and liquidity.
That is the reason why I'm only investing on the top coins right now. Bear market is the time where these "gems" for different investors are being tested. They will be tested if they can survive with the bear market or they will be just like other projects that will become dead or abandoned.

2. Bear market is like a punisher, it comes with full force and punish all shitcoins that are pretending to be good for investors.
Like I said in the first one, bear market is the time where projects will be tested if they can survive or not. If they will survive then congratulations for them because they are successful but if they can't then there is nothing we can do about it. Most low marketcap coins and shitcoins and maybe lets add those memecoins out there will disappear especially now that the bear market has started already.

3. Even top altcoins will struggle to survive.
I've seen this already during the 2018 "year of hell" and the 2020 "Pandemic Crash". After this, we might see new altcoins at the top and those below might go even higher. Just see Litecoin, XLM, IOTA, and EOS. In the past they are at the top 20 and Litecoin is in the top 5 but now they aren't there anymore.

4. Crypto and BTC will be named SCAM once again.
I don't think so with this. Some crypto tokens might turn out to be a scam or a rug pull but Bitcoin right now will not be labeled as a scam anymore. Those who will see Bitcoin as a scam are those ignorant and newbie investors who doesn't know anything about Bitcoin.

5. There will be more selling pressure than buying and most people wouldn't want to HOLD.
Investors who are panicking right now will surely sell their holdings at a loss but intelligent investors will do the opposite and they will but since they see bear market as an opportunity for them to accumulate more.

6. Launchpads? They will get uglier lol, because once a sell is over the dump will be more massive than those happening in a bull market, Launchpads always suffer a lot.
I will not expect Launchpads right now in the bear market. No one will invest into these new projects because investors right now are at a loss and they will not invest again into new projects in a bear market.

7. BTC will be seen as the most safest place to be, which it is actually.
It is and it has been. Every time time like this happens, I often buy only Bitcoin because it has proved that it is the safest crypto hold right now. More safer than stablecoins out there Cheesy>

8. Many new projects will have a hard time raising enough money to develop their projects
Like I said, no or less new projects will be successful in a bear market and if they will become successful they will not last long because they might not survive in the harsh market that we are in right now. I think as a developer, it would be better if they will just remain patient and wait for the market to recover before they will make new project.
3344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 12, 2022, 10:33:23 AM

The Boston Celtics are slowly gaining the lead. 47-38 Celtics as of I'm typing this.

Odds for the Milwaukee Bucks are now boosting to around @2.8 - @3. Handicap though still the same.

Damn, I was tempted. If I will observe more, I might didn't get that good odds. Better to decide right now and face the risk and consequences lol.

Bucks won 110-107, so the series is now on the Bucks favor 3-2.

Boston though has led almost the whole game but they have a melted in the last 3-4 minutes. And it looks like the Bucks are going to finished this series out at their home court the next game. It's going to be crazy at Fiserv and I'm expecting that Giannis will put another monster game, maybe another 40 point performance to advance.
They could've own the game because Holiday and Portis keeps on missing their shots even a close lay-up, Horford and Tatum makes a tight defense but the game changed because of Marcus Smart's mistake when he lost his handle. He should have just give the ball to Horford or Tatum but he forced to attack the paint.

That was a crazy game, better luck next game.
Watched the final moments in Youtube and the Celtics could've win it if they didn't made any mistakes in the final minutes of the game.
They are leading 6 with 2 mins remaining and Bucks made a 11-2 run to end the game and steal one on the road again.

Those 2 final possessions of the Celtics are the reason they lost. The execution is poor. Or maybe we can say that Holiday is the reason why they won because of his insane block and insane steal against Smart in those final 2 possessions. Whatever it is, the Bucks got the win and they have a chance to seal the deal on their home.

Now with the Celtics down 3-2 and Game 6 is at Bucks homecourt, they are in the brink of getting eliminated. The team who most of us are predicting to advance into the ECF might get eliminated.

What happened in 2018 was a huge ~84% drop that caused Bitcoin went from near $20,000 down to near $2,000.
Right now if that scenario will happen again, we must see Bitcoin go down from ~$69,000 to at least near the $10,000 price level.

Will it happen? Anything is possible still but the chances of it to happen are low though it is increasing because of what is happening right now globally. Like many are saying, profits are being made mostly in a bear market so if you have spare cash to use to invest then don't hesitate to use it right now. Now is an opportunity for us to buy coins at a discounted price. It happened many times already that Bitcoin and the crypto market goes up after a huge downfall. Just look at the 2018 "year of hell" where Bitcoin went down from $20,000 to $2,000 and then rebounded and the March Pandemic in 2020 where Bitcoin went from $8,000 to $4,000 and then rebounded months after.
3346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: RIP LUNA & UST ! Is USDD be same like that.. on: May 11, 2022, 02:08:34 PM
Terra who got an ATH of around $119 is now at $2.60. Also take note that this downfall happened around 5 weeks after LUNA got its ATH.
On the other hand, UST who is supposed to be pegged with USD just de-pegged and now its price is around $0.47.

I just don't know if LUNA will come back after what happened to them unless the developers will make a effective solution to their problems as well as putting UST to be pegged with USD again. On the other hand, what happened to them will make investors to think twice or thrice to whether they will invest into this token or not. I'm not holding any of them but its quite unfortunate to see a coin going down in just a few weeks. Very unfortunate to the investors as well who bought this coin at its peak or near its peak.
3347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where is the crypto market heading now on: May 11, 2022, 01:29:03 PM
1. Can Ape coin beats doge coin some day? In rank on coinmarketcap
2. When should we start expecting a better greenish market again?.
3. Now that we are a ina  bear market will metaverse hype keep going on?.
1. There is always a chance for everything but the chances of this to happen is very low and close to zero. My opinion only though.

2. After 3 months? 4 months? 6 months? A year? I don't know and nobody knows. If somebody knows this then he must've be a rich investor right now. Instead of asking this, just do accumulate some top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum and wait for a green market to happen because nobody knows when it will happen.

3. Metaverse? It might be. Now is the time for the projects especially those Metaverse-related tokens and NFT to get tested. In a bull market, every project whether it is a new or old one will go up but when the bear market comes its a complete test for these projects. Those who will survive to this event will prosper and those who will not will just die and will get abandoned.

The round 4 match of GSW and Grizzlies will be tomorrow I think the GSW will going to end it and won't let the Memphis get another win against them. My parlay against Heat and Suns was really good as they both win the game today, do you think my bet for GSW tomorrow will be a good call? I am not that fan of basketball but I am a fan of GSW.

Why not? they have the momentum in this game and without Ja Morant, the Memphis team will have a difficult task winning against a hardened and battle tested GSW.

They are the favourite to win at 1.5x currently, this odds might go down as the game gets closer. So I do hope that you have bet on your team early to  take advantage of that line, there is also the handicap -4.5, although last time the Warriors didn't cover because the game was close.
Morant is "likely" out for the remainder of the post-season base on this article: LINK

I would like to give the Grizzlies a chance to win in Game 5 but for the remainder of this series and without Morant, I think the Warriors will win and they will even with Morant. The Grizzlies played well though even without him but its the playoffs and I think they have no chance to defeat a complete Warriors roster.

I have picked the Golden State Warriors as my team to win it all, but man the Phoenix Suns are really starting to make me second guess that decision. They are just such a complete team all around. The Miami Heat have been playing pretty well as well, but I’m not sure they have what it takes to do much past getting beyond the 76ers.
The Suns-Warriors match-up will be like the Nets-Bucks match-up last season where the Bucks won. I expect this to be a very close one and even though I'm a Warriors fan, its hard to predict who will win on this one.

Embiid suffered again a right orbital fracture, the same injury that he got against the Raptors. Without him in Game 6, I don't know if the Sixers will beat the Heat even though Harden will play like how he played in Game 4. If he will not play in Game 6, the Heat will end it on the road.

I have been thinking of the possible reasons of the bitcoin falling down. Since I am not an expert on the Currency I cannot predict or give any reason. That is why I want to know the reasons. Please if anyone can tell me I will appreciate. Thanks.
Bitcoin's price is falling because there is more supply than demand. That's all.
There are more sellers than buyers that is why Bitcoin's price is falling.

Now the reason why it is falling? Its because of the current events that is happening globally that causes the sentiments of the investors to go negative. Ukraine-Russia war, inflation in US, Interest rates, recession. These are just some of the reasons and there is a chance that this will go for a long time. As a newbie, just be patient and if you have cash try to accumulate because profits are being made in a bear market or corrections like this. Just don't make bad decisions Smiley.
3350  Economy / Economics / Re: "...all of the bitcoin in the world for $25" on: May 11, 2022, 10:43:22 AM
Warren Buffet recently made a strong declaration that he wouldn't buy all of the bitcoin in the world for $25, and it gave us a better glimpse of how he really views cryptocurrency. He went on to say that Bitcoin "doesn't multiply" and "doesn't produce anything," which is true if you think about it, except what multiplies in BTC is its value. I wonder what would make Buffet change his perception of BTC. Or maybe he's just trying to influence the crypto market for a bargain buy.
You often hear sentiments like this from investors like him who is heavily invested into stock market and you often hear things like this when the market is in a blood bath. Did any so-called experts said negative things when Bitcoin is at its peak? I don't think so.

There is nothing new into these kind of perceptions especially from an investor like him. With regards to his perception to Bitcoin, I don't think there is any way for him to change his perception or unless Bitcoin go to $100,000. He might also be doing what the others are doing since he is an influential man, he will say negative things towards Bitcoin but he is buying it at a lower price silently Cheesy. We won't know but he might doing it. In the end, he can say things with Bitcoin either negative or positive and lets just ignore it I guess.

Di na ako updated sa Axie pero looking at its price right now, parang hirap pa talaga ito silang maipataas. Mahirap magisip ng 2nd wave hype, hinde sya basta basta pero sa tingin ko Big Airdrop ang solution just like other projects na nagairdrop before ng malaking halaga, marame ang nakatanggap nito at marame ang nahype, well this is just my suggestion para makabawe ang nakakarami, need lang alamin kung paano nila ito magagawa. Tataas ulit yang Axie, antay lang tayo sa mga update pa nila.
Mukha talagang mahirap umangat kasi nga bagsak siya plus pa natin yung pagbagsak ni btc. Kaya ayun talaga, mas lalong nabaon, pero ako mag accumulate pa rin ako.
Parang ramdam ko ulit yung early days kapag ganito yung presyuhan basta may hundred thousands pa ring player up to a million, malaki pa rin ang user base nila at hold lang din ako slp, lagapak eh. Mas masakit kung ibenta ng sobrang baba kaya hold nalang, win or lose or nothing, okay lang sakin.  Grin

Kung tanggap mo yang ganyang scenario eh mapapahold ka na lang talaga, iba iba din kasi yung take ng bawat players at investors dito sa laro na to, yung mga may tiwala pa naka hold pero yung mga nawalan na ng gana nagsihanap na ng ibang pagkakakitaan either sa crypto or sa ibang venue ng investment, hindi nman kasi lahat ng sumabak sa axie crypto talaga ang focus yung iba nahatak lang ng hypes kaya may mga ibang ventures din na mapapasukan pa at magbabakasakaling kumita or makabawi sa nailabas na pera para sa game na to.
Kaya nga hold nalang, tutal nasa bear market naman na tayo. Tine-take ko nalang ito na parte ng mga coins na dapat kong i-accumulate habang mababa ang lahat.
Investor lang din naman ako at medyo matagal na din sa market kaya tiwala at experience nalang din ang puhunan. Kung matalo man pag lipas ng isang taon o dalawa, okay lang, parte na talaga ng buhay investor yan.  Grin
Bumalik na naman tayo sa bear market at mukhang eto na ung sinasabi nilang multi-month bear market.
Recession, Ukraine-Russia war, Inflation, GDP. Ilan lang to sa mga rason ngayon kung bakit bumababa ang market ngaun di lang crypto market pero kahit stock market sa US at kahit anong mga assets.

Lahat tayo apektado ng mga nangyayari kaya ang pwede na lang nating gawin ay i-hold kung ano mang tokens ang mga hawak natin mapa SLP man yan or AXS or BTC, maging patient sa kung ano ang mangyayari at if may sobrang pera ay pwede naman bumili ng ano mang top coins kasi alam naman natin na pagkatapos nito ay tataas rin ang market di ba? Smiley.

Kung nanghihinaan na kayong loob, basahin nyo lang tong mga quotes na ito.
  • The true investment challenge is to perform well in difficult times.
  • What you learn from history is the market goes down. It goes down a lot.
  • I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy.

3352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 11, 2022, 12:33:27 AM
I have this feeling that there is a possibility that online sabong will be back in the new administration there is a budget deficit as a huge part of the budget is going for payment of oustanding loanthe new presient may have won overwhelmingly but the business sector is not giving him a good score in investment priority from foreign investors, it will exhaust every means to generate revenues.
The negative effects of online cockfighting is way worse than the positive effects that it can give to the country.
TBH, I just don't know why they allowed it in our country. Tax? Revenue? You can get that in other ways but the morale and the effects of it to the people especially for those who lose all already are irreversible.

If you're from PH, you might seen some news from some bettors regarding what happened to them after losing to E-sabong. We've also saw around 30+ people that are missing just because of cockfighting. Some said that they stole money from other people. Some don't have families anymore because of it. Some feel sorry for themselves and regret what they did etc. As I'm watching these news and what is happening to these people, the more I agree with what our President did.

Now the Election is over and in a few weeks we have a new president. I just hope that this will remain the same and will not re-open online cockfighting to the public.
3353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 10, 2022, 11:59:15 PM
I have just noticed that Memphis Grizzlies play well without Ja Morant. I think because they are more in doing the big purpose to fill Morant's absence.

Before Game 5, I'm thinking the Warriors will put again the Grizzlies in a big lead like what they did in Game 4 as Morant is out but that didn't happen and in fact, the Grizzlies always keep up with the Warriors the whole game.

With a 3-1 lead, advanced congratulations to the Warriors on winning their series.
Base on this website:
Quote
The Memphis Grizzlies had a record of 20-5 without Ja Morant this season.

Plus they really played well in Game 4 so the lets still not underestimate the Grizzlies right now even though Morant will be doubtful in Game 5. They didn't have Ja in Game 4 and yet they almost won the game if not only because of the rally that the Warriors did late in the 4th.

On the other hand though, now that the Warriors are leading 3-1 I think its kinda safe to say that they will win this series already (just hoping that they will not blow out their lead). I'm a bit biased maybe but they might end it on the road in Game 5 knowing they already stole Game 1 on the road.
3354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A time people have been waiting for bitcoin to drop on: May 10, 2022, 11:00:31 PM
Okay, presently I want to ask why the sudden panicking around the media and forum here.
Is somebody here in the forum who is panicking right now?? Hmm maybe those newbies who just joined crypto for a few weeks to months. Maybe its their first time to see crypto moved like this thus, they are panicking. Media? That's normal for them to react like that either the crypto is bearish or bullish.

I could ones remembered when bitcoin was +$69k and everyone seems to be panicking for the price to get 32k or below. Today we have another chance to buy very low yet people still waiting for the price to drop even more lower.
Its an opportunity for the others to buy Bitcoin now that it is at its lowest price. Yes there are some investors who are waiting for the price to go even lower because of how the market is moving right now but for me, I think this is a good time to buy not only Bitcoin but other top altcoins as well. Just be ready whenever it goes down even lower than your buying price. We have given another opportunity to buy crypto at a lower price and yet there are others who are still waiting to go even lower..

I want to know when is the best time to buy or waiting more dip to buy and what if the price turns back to bull?
What do we do?

Best time? There is no such thing as best time when it comes to buying because anything can happen. You are expecting for the market to go down lower but it didn't happen and vice versa. If you really want to buy now then buy now. The risk is lower and you can get higher rewards.

What mistake? Lossing your money to a lossing bet? That's not a mistake in gambling terms that's unlucky, and there's nothing to learn from there coz that's the nature in gambling sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
When you talk about learning from your mistakes in gambling, that's actually when you stop gambling coz you've realized how much money you lost because of gambling.

Being unlucky isn't a mistake when it comes to gambling. The mistakes in gambling is their decisions.
Gambler's decisions decide the fate of him. If he chooses to gamble after losing a large account then it is his mistake. If he choose to borrow money just to have some funds to gamble is a mistake. I think losing money to a bet isn't a mistake but the decisions that a gambler is doing is.
3356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 10, 2022, 12:32:55 PM
Yet another plot twist in this playoffs, it looked almost for over for the Celtics after the 3rd Quarter, and Celtics were having big foul troubles, but the run to start the 4th was good, and Al Horford was really great tonight, despite early fouls too he did restrict himself for making unnecessary defensive plays. I think the Bucks felt a little bit cocky going into the 4th, and all it took was couple of possession and stop for the Celtics to build a lead to win the game.

It was Al Horford who put on the show after a great monster jam against Giannis as if he just taking the whole game last night as revenge to take down the Bucks and it was paid well. Tatum is and Brown was also getting some lucky shots as well to further stretch the lead late in the  4th quarter and it was a great play for Boston Celtics because they managed to tie the series 2-2 and bring back the game to their homecourt for some advantage and I'm sure the fans are eager to show some huge support for them when they get home.

Yes, Al is really playing very well against the Bucks in their series. I never thought that he can do that against Giannis, and after the monster dunk, he was like a man possessed and take the game together with Tatum as then both scored 30 points apiece. That's big in playoff games, now time for the Bucks to comeback in this series and have someone to step up and help Giannis in offense.
 

Al Horford has the capacity to guard Giannis even before during his prime. He was so strong for defense and inside points. Today's match just gives him again a spotlight showcase his talent once again but I doubt if he can still keep up that same level of performance against Giannis. hence he will be dominated again by on fire Giannis which we all know a consistent strong player.
I can't find the statistics but Giannis is less efficient when Horford is guarding him. We are seeing a lower percentage of shooting on Giannis because Horford is guarding him most of the time.

On the other hand though, we've seen Horford like the prime Horford when he was in the Hawks years ago (with Josh Smith and Teague etc. where they are the top spot at that time). A career playoff-high for him and he helped Tatum get that victory to tie the series. A must win for them as well or else, this will end in 6 games. Smart also played as well so that is additional defense though Williams didn't play on this game. Still having Smart playing will have some impact on his teammates especially on defense. Still Celtics in 7 games Smiley.
3357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: May 08, 2022, 01:50:14 PM
I've watched the whole fight and I've seen 3 factors that cause Canelo to lose on this fight.

1. Impenetrable defense of Bivol - You will see that his punches aren't landing so much and if so, its only a small damage and most of Canelo's punches are landing mostly on his arms which is we know doesn't affect the fighter at all. The arms of Bivol is so huge and long that he can defend most of his body and his face.
2. Discipline and his reach as well as his footwork - Kudos to Bivol for having a good discipline all throughout the fight. From the start, you will see that he is mostly doing and he is using his longer reach efficiently that Canelo can't land punches on him. His footwork is very good as well because you will see that Bivol will make combination and then will fall back then attack again and Canelo can't cope up with it.
3. The Division itself - I think we can conclude that Canelo can't fight in the light heavyweight because of how he fought on this match. Some will say that he won against Kovalev yes but he isn't as strong as he was at that time. Bivol is just too much for Canelo I think so maybe it would be a better decision to go lower but if still wants to fight in light heavyweight then he must do better trainings.

Overall, I think Bivol deserved the win. Its just that how can the 3 judges scored 115-113 in favor of Bivol. I thought that the differences of their scores will be higher seeing how Bivol dominated the whole fight but.. a win is a win still. Congrats to Bivol. Well deserved and he is in the history books already Smiley.
3358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 07, 2022, 02:59:45 PM
They have to improve their defense so the Celtics will not only struggle making points in the paint but also on their outside shooting. Celtics shoot well in game 2 so they won, and Giannis wasn't himself in the 1st half and that was taken advantage by the Celtics.

Game 3, both teams have made their adjustment already, I hope Bucks would use their advantage.

It's hard to really put pressure on defense against Boston Celtics. What Milwaukee Bucks need to do is to improve their offense.

During Game 1 and 2, Giannis is shooting at the worst percentage on the field. He seems to contribute big in the eyes of most people as they just look at the POINTS but if only they will look at the stat sheet, Giannis is horrible at field goal percentage.

That's because of Celtics' Al Horford's defense of him.

Giannis needs to work his way to destroy Horford's defense.

Bucks doing single coverage on Giannis, he was not able to drive the ball on the rim because of the effective defense employed by the Celtics. But I'm sure Bucks will make an adjustment and they will try to make Giannis more effective and we will not anymore see the struggle of Giannis in game 2.
Giannis needs to be more efficient in his next games if they want to win.
Most of his shots are from the paint though he shot 9/25 in Game 1 and 11/27 in Game 2. That's low knowing where Giannis is shooting most of the time and it just shows that the defense of Celtics are very effective. Bucks need to make some adjustments in order for them to defend their home twice.

Horford's defense really is helping the Celtics and maybe lets add some credits to Grant Williams because he is also doing well in defending against Giannis. What the Bucks need to do is to not rely much on Giannis especially in offense and just let him do the rebounds but not to the point where they will not let him shot. Do what the Sixers did in Game 3 where they distributed the points and got the victory. Players such as Portis, Allen and Holiday can step up more to be more effective offensively.

Despite no serious bull in the market for sometime,  I am thinking to buy more because the price at which bitcoin is right now I can be able to afford it. I planned buying when the price was at 40$ , the amount of bitcoin I planned to buy is a small quantity which if the market eventually go dip i may lost 30% of it. But now I feel even if I buy and it goes dip it wont go dipper the way the price is now.  What do you think about my plan?
30% of $40,000 is $28,000 which is the recent lowest price that Bitcoin has reached ever since it reached below the $30,000 price.
TBH, it can reach that price since it already happened especially with what is happening right now.

Think of Bitcoin as a long term investment because if you think like that, you will realize that events like these are a good opportunity for you to buy not only Bitcoin maybe but other assets as well. Your plan will work as long as you think of a long term of holding Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin anytime you want and just be ready if it goes lower. Be ready to buy at a lower price as long as you have extra money Cheesy.

No it's not the big one! Market is indeed crashing due to the increase in interest by FED. Same is happening in India as well, after Indian central bank announced an interest increase of 40 BPS points. But such crashes are temporary.

Increase in interest rate forces a segment of investors who had invested their extra cash in stock market. Some institutions who are parking their free cash in stock market, has been pulled out as well. So a temporary crash we are seeing.

That will recover quite soon.
Its my first time knowing that whenever FED increase interest rates, it often have a negative effect in the market. What I only know is the Russia-Ukraine war and the inflation is the reason why markets are going down. Thanks for sharing.

Crashes are temporary I agree on that. The best thing to do right now is to stay patient and not do anything or if possible stay away from seeing the charts because it will just make you anxious and you might panic as well and make bad decisions. If you have extra money then you can buy assets at a lower price but its risky.
