It changes in a way that prices or the direction is going upwards. If some coins are already there, they will just continue it. There is also a change in the position or ranking of the coins, as some can gain a huge volume, so they will overtake the other normal performing coins. There is no bull run yet that happened. What we saw are still a recovery from the recent bear market.

And BTC is the starter of it. The rest will just follow after it. All should hold on as it won't take long for us to witness those positive movements. Apart of that, it is also a good idea to keep adding more coins to our stash. And as usual, those must only be good coins only.

I think consumerist life style is not the first thing you should get rid of. Remember, what you buy today, will be more expensive later on, so you could make a profit that way. I am not saying have stuff that would be useless, but do have stuff that can be both liabilities and assets.

Let's assume this, if you buy a tablet, like ipad for example, that would look quite useless, I did that, just about 6 months or so ago, but today it is 1.5 what it was, so I can sell it right now and make a profit, even though I used it. If you ask people, they would say it's liability, but because a newer version didn't come out, and it's new year, and everything got new prices, the amount an ipad costs ended up higher. Even if it is the same amount, it's investment, and I can sell it, and still have cash.

That is definitely the case, it would allow everyone to have something more decent, and less risk for sure. If you do DCA then drops are not scary but opportunity and if you could make it seem like that, then you are going to get better when it goes up. So, you do not have two option of losing or winning, you have two options of accumulating or winning, and that makes things a lot better.

Many people avoid that mindset and that causes a lot of trouble, I believe that you should definitely consider that as an option. I know that it is not going to end up with a great return, we should consider DCA as a way to make as much profit as possible, the return is not all that crazy when it is not moving, but when it starts moving the return becomes huge.

Those are very hard and difficult three factors and that means most people will not be able to get them all. I mean we are talking about something that would cause a lot of trouble, and people should figure out a way to master them all.

I know that rest will come easy, if you master these, then all you have to do is study and learn how to trade, and then you will have to just keep trading to gain more experience and you will become a great trader eventually. But for that road to be easy for you, first you need to have those three. Discipline is one of the hardest ones, there isn't a boss or a teacher or a parent making you do something anymore, it's just you and you alone, if you can't do it then nobody else will push you to do it.

I would guess that it is not really going to work out in the end because the whole world structure is based on the dollar. Like when you are considering what the barrel of an oil is, do you really consider it in any other currency? You talk about it in dollar terms, that's just the reality and we need to consider that as the most important thing.

I personally believe that we need to consider dollar as there to stay and not going to leave anytime soon. And the only way dollar would not be used as the biggest currency, would not come from other nations, it would only be possible if the empire falls within itself, you do not attack and defeat an empire, you let it destroy itself and then slowly it will destroy itself overtime, so USA would tell you when dollar is bad.

The problem with him was that he had some injuries, and he is basically loaned to Galatasaray for free, imagine not wanting a player so badly that you are willing to just let him go for free, that usually means something.

I do not know how he is playing at Galatasaray in general, but I can see that he didn't play all that many games, and that could be one of the reasons, and he could be a decent player there maybe, not sure, but a decent player for some games all season long is not something Chelsea would want, plus the level of competition is different for Chelsea and Galatasaray, and that means Ziyech wasn't someone they could tolerate at all. I believe that he is not really a key player to even Galatasaray, he could leave and they wouldn't suddenly become terrible.

I would guess that we could definitely consider about 30%+ to be the bear market, also I do not really consider staying low as bear market, like we had a period when it was 68k, then went as low as 15k, that was bear market when it was going down, but for a while it stayed at 20k, for months and months, people called that bear too, I do not believe that that was bear, it was just staying there and not going down.

Just because something is not back above its ATH price doesn't mean that it's in bear, it could be staying low but it is not going lower, and that's the most important part. I hope that people could see that and make a big enough distinction between that, and could end up with something that would benefit everyone at the same time.

Of course they still care, and that is to make money at a short period of time. I'm not sure if it's really a scam. I mean why it is still there? Also there is a reason on why it had collapsed and I think it is not because their main intention is to scam.

There's even rumours that they are preparing for a big comeback. The coin already had a major crash, so in case another one can happen, I don't think it will be huge as the first one and then people aren't going to get shocked or affected about it anymore. But yeah, some can feel that they are idiot for making the same mistakes again. That's good for them, and should teach them another lesson.

But is it important to know their history? Though some can find it interesting, especially if they are into trivia. Rich people are already showing off by the moment they avail a fancy place. I think they are only being generous to tip the workers there. And if they can do this good deed, then I am sure they are no way of showing off their wealth by visiting these fancy places. It's just that they are only treating their selves something good. I'm sure that many people wants to do that kind of generous act (the tipping), but it's only sad to know that their management are now restricting it. Suck them. Though maybe not all companies are like that.

I am having similar expectations even breaking ATH on halving year is not an usual thing in the bitcoin market cycle. I mean reaching beyond $68k might be possible by December 2024. I might go wrong as well. Because when everyone will be expecting a strong bull run in 2025 which would be very much similar to 2013/2017/2021 then we might start witnessing that well in advance like by last quarter of 2024 itself.

Coming back to this December happening, in my opinion this December ending up flat. Bitcoin market got stuck around $42k range which must be a good thing as we can count this range bound as a cooling period for another rally toward $50k levels before we are seeing any possible dominance of bears. Overall, I am confident about extension of bull market in the beginning of new year as well.

This unforeseen part is the reason why most people have trouble, it is not planned budget expenses that causes people to have trouble, we all have that and it happens and it's fine, we can't always think like that would be the worst case, we can't really see that change all that easily, what we need to do would be making sure that it's going to end up with a trouble later on.

So, if you can't plan for an expense, how can you prevent it, or how can you budget that accordingly? Well, you could try to have a "rainy day" savings along with your regular savings, on months that you get paid and nothing happens, keep putting some aside, and use that for urgent needs, but that's usually not enough. Basically, we just don't make enough to put money aside when something goes wrong.

I do not think that it is strictly about the coach, because he did manage to make them great last season, but I think it is more about the fact that the owners are not caring about how to rule the club so they are not hiring anyone decent. Remember, when you are talking about staff, it is not always the tracksuits, the coaches, the fitness trainers, the set piece coach, the trainer, not like that, it is also about the suiğts, the guys like director of football or general manager and so forth.

I believe that it is that part which is wrong with this club and they are having trouble. I mean it is obvious from the get go, why? Because they needed much better defense, and instead went and paid like 80 million or something for Antony instead, they could have gotten a much better defender for that price.

The biggest issue is that, if you list, and the list has something you can't get rid of, then you are pretty much screwed. For example, for me the biggest expense is literally my debt, and as long as my debt stays, I am going to have to keep paying that, for example just today I have spent 400$ for an emergency root canal operation, and it was on two teeth as well, so it cost a lot when you want care right away without appointment and it's root canal and it's two tooth, that may look like it's expensive, but when you have a hurt so bad that you understand why people throw themselves off the rocks in BC period when dentists didn't exist, you would be willing to pay 4000 let alone 400.

However, that also means now I have more debt, it's just another expense, I can't cut down on it, it's just expense and have to be paid.

I would only choose that option if it is a few houses and not a single one. I would still prefer bitcoin right now to be fair, all 480k worth bitcoin at this moment, but if I assume that I want a house, I would get a few of them and not just a single house.

Reason for that is the fact that if you have just one house, that means you need to find someone who would rent a 480k worth house, and even though you may, the moment they get out you start to look for one again. Whereas, if I have like 4 houses worth 120k each, or even 8 houses worth 60k each, that means it would be fine, if one leaves, you still have all the rest paying you, and you will end up finding one without getting too much financially left hanging. That is why I would prefer a few houses, and not just a single house.

Profit, momentary profit is the only thing that people are talking about and will stay as the only thing that people will talk about when they are talking about success in trading. I personally believe that anyone can, but at the same time there is a guarantee that not everyone will.

This means that some people can and won't, that is the indication to it. Look at all the people who had done very well in trading, do they have anything different than us? They are humans just like us and they are capable of doing the same thing that we are capable of doing, so we should be capable of what they are capable of as well. Only difference is, some people will do it right and make a profit, while others will make mistakes and not choose the right path.

I think the problem is that when you use a buzzword like web3, then it would not really make sense when it is not. I have seen plenty of projects that were not web3 at all, and yet still used that word to get more investors, it is just way to get attention. Same goes with meme projects as well, pepe this, doge that, whatever animal you can think of with "inu" at the end of it. It's just a way to use buzzwords to get the attention of the people.

I have seen ShibaAI, literally that is the name, just put two buzzwords together, it was labelled "AI version of SHIBA", and people put thousands of dollars into it as investment even before release at launch period. So buzzwords do work if you know how to do marketing, but they are terrible investments.

I believe that it's ever evolving thing that we need to do, that would be the only thing that could make sense, otherwise it is not going to be that easy at all. I know that people want to learn and then be good, but that is not how it works, you need to learn to be good, but then you need to keep learning to stay good.

If you study trading even for a whole year, and then start trading, you will be good for only a while, after a while, if you stopped studying, then you will slowly get worse and worse and worse. It is an ever evolving thing and that is why you need to end up with something that has to be a bit different and could have different results. I personally have to focus on a thing that has to be a big deal, we just need to consider that as an option.

That is why there is a satoshi term for it, I don't go around buying bitcoin, I buy satoshis, you buy 0.02 bitcoins if that's what you can afford and that's fine.

I have made my investments like that all the time, in fact, at the start of when I learned about bitcoin, it wasn't this expensive but I didn't trust it enough and made a mistake of investing very little, so ever since I learned what bitcoin is, I have not bought a single bitcoin, I have accumulated that much eventually here and there rarely, but I have never go out and outright bought one bitcoin. That means, we need to realize that sometimes we need to invest a bit less, and it's available and we can do it. Just get whatever you can, and hold as long as you can.

Many people make too many mistakes and DCA would allow people to have a sense. The biggest issue in the bitcoin world is that when the price is going down, way too many people are selling, the whole reason why it keeps going down is people keep selling, so when you get to start doing DCA, that means you are going to buy when it goes down. It basically prevents the whole drop thing, because when price goes down, instead of selling and losing money, you are buying and making profit later on.

This is why it's such a great method and I do suggest every newbie to do it. I have been buying for years, and sometimes I sell because I need the money, but rarely have I ever made a loss, it's been like once or twice at most, rest of the time, even though I urgently needed the money, I was always in profit. That shows you that DCA is such a good method that even at times when you shouldn't sell, it may actually still be a profit for you and that's a great thing.

I do believe that the 4 year cycle is real, some people do not believe it, but I am one of those that do believe it. Which means that in 2024 we are going to keep going up and in 2025 we are going to peak and in 2026 we will fall.

That is definitely a reality in my mind, doesn't mean I force anyone else to do it, I could be very wrong about it, and that's true, there isn't really anything that provides any proof that I would be right, I am just making a speculation. But that's fine, for me personally I will do my best about it and I will try to get it as long as I possibly could, that's just how I approach the market right now. Thing is, we are talking about something that should not surprise anyone, it's a fully expected cycle.
