Whether it is doubling your investment as you say, or expecting a greater pump in price, they are all speculations or predictions; and it doesn't really matter what mr A predicts or what mr X is expecting, because we cannot know what will happen and we can only wait.

What matters is that you are not buying more than you can afford to lose, and that your prediction and expectation isn't affecting your decision making in real life, if you are not doing any of these, then we can make predictions as we like and people should understand that those predictions do not influence what will eventually happen as most of them are just pulled out of a hat.

The trend every 4 years is unique because price increases can reach 200% or more, especially since early 2024 there will be a halving which will make mining supply increasingly difficult and the easiest thing to usually do is buy more before the busy season occurs, and buy more when Cheap prices like now are certainly the best decision.

However, I understand that new investors can panic or feel sad when they see bad market conditions because they might lack knowledge and experience about the market, but experienced and seasoned investors shouldn't have any problems since they already know how the market actually works.

It would be very discouraging to some per say because the speed at which the price of Bitcoin was going at the beginning of this month it seems like before next week the price would have gotten to $29k but seeing it at $26k today is just not going to give many the impression that it will even get to $28k.
Is really disturbing and I still think some expectations of the coming halving will be higher because some see the fall of BTC price as a chance to create the unexpected price, as in seeing Bitcoin price getting to $60k+ next year.

Something like this came up somewhere. A nice drop indeed and around 65 million in BTC liquidated... Some more weak hands are gone from the market. Evolution theory doing what it is supposed to do. Keep it going.
Nevertheless, an impressive move of price.

The news pushed Bitcoin to $ 30k quickly, but now back to the previous price.
I don't know for sure about what happened, many rumors say that ETF Bitcoin Ishares was received by SEC ... But it was still rumors, I was also looking for the original but very difficult source ...

Strangely, there are also many who say that this is fake, but Bitcoin jumped quite crazy a few minutes ago, is there a person's game here to sink the big whale who installed the short? My head was quite sick to digest what happened just.

I have not found the original certainty based on data and news, this makes me confused.

It was fake news, and the cointelegraph deleted it, it was just someone's manipulation, and many long/short orders were liquidated. Be careful with all this news instead of getting excited, I think the market will have a stronger correction after this news is confirmed to be fake.

Besides bitcoin, I think this is not the right time to invest or accumulate altcoins. If you pay attention, many altcoins are showing signs of creating new bottoms instead of starting to recover. From what I see, when bitcoin increases, altcoins do not increase, but when bitcoin decreases slightly, altcoins decrease a lot. Therefore, investing in altcoins at this time is not wise.

I did a $25K breakdown vote. I chose this based on recent events that have occurred in the world. FTX case, War, Energy and food crisis in several European countries. Plus BTC is still not able to penetrate the 30K area. Meanwhile, because the situation in several countries was still heating up due to war, many countries and banks began to invest their funds in gold. Gold is still the favorite and could possibly disrupt BTC/Crypto's cap. Coupled with oil which might be monopolized by oil producing countries due to the war needs of their trading alliance countries, there could be more money flowing there than to BTC. This is just my bad opinion, but I still believe there will be a massive price increase soon before the halving and after the halving.

If we look at this year's price chart then the highest price of bitcoin was only around $31k, and I still remember it lasted less than 24 hours and the market fell again, and now the price around $26k and I see like a puzzle that was difficult to solve so we had to be patient to see price increase this year.

The potential for Bitcoin prices to return to $30K again this year is still very possible even though the increase still tends to be slow, but I think it will not be so difficult for Bitcoin to return to that price as long as Bitcoin continues to have fairly good support in the final quarter of this year. So you don't need to worry about the increase in Bitcoin prices, because if you don't see a sharp increase this year, maybe you can see it next year at a better moment.

Bitcoin is robust because of its decentralized structure and blockchain technology, which is why many people, including the government, cherish it.

Excited about the next bull run... Yeah, I've heard that song and dance. Market volatility is appealing. But expecting a future spike since it happened before? Thats like waiting for lightning to strike twice in the same area, right? Even if the past was oh-so-gloriously volatile, remember that past performance isnt a predictor of future results.

Beginner and pleb like me, I think buying the dip is not the best strategy for me to use in accumulating Bitcoin because I can't time the perfect dip, the dip might last for years, and if I buy the dip it might keep dipping.

I chose the DCA strategy in accumulating my Bitcoin. By using the DCA strategy I can take advantage of market fluctuations by lowering their average cost per asset without risking too much capital at any point in time.

I know that everyone has different ways of managing their living needs according to their income. About me, of course I just try my best and try my best not to disturb each other.

So far I have 3 parts that I have to fulfill from my total monthly income. The first 40% is for living expenses and family needs, the second 30% is for investments, while the other 30% is for the reserve budget including unexpected costs and charity. Of course this is a percentage that I can't always maintain consistently, but it is a reflection of how I have managed my finances over the years. It doesn't matter if you and I have different ways, but as long as it's good for ourselves then I don't find a problem in how to manage it.

Even myself I will open up about this because they can still support and help me in this kind of situation and then after that find another source of income for fixing that problem.

The solution is cutting down your expenses, getting another job or source of income is a different topic and we are talking about how one can manage their finances if they have a low range income, so though it's true that one should try and get another source of income on the side to make things easier but what if one isn't able to do that? They will also need to manage somehow, right? I believe spending money more carefully should do the job and make one able to manage things even with a low-range income.

I've been through it. I had a high-paying remote job that used to pay me more than what I needed for my monthly expenses, I was able to save some money and buy everything we needed for the house, and then unfortunately, I lost that job, and then I struggled for about a year, having to manage with a low-income job which was obviously difficult but it thought me how one can manage with the little they have.

The concept of a decentralized and fixed supply, such in the case of Bitcoin, tries to alleviate difficulties such as inflation and loss of buying value. The concept of decreasing the need for loans and interest payments while also holding banks more responsible to governments is undoubtedly intriguing. The emergence of cryptocurrency has compelled us to reconsider existing banking structures.

However, government should support farmers with the necessary and basic equipment, the government have a big role to play.
Organizing entrepreneurship programms, teaching people on how to start little business, organizing serminer programs for farmers on how to take care of their crops such as plantain farm, yam farming and how to rear chickens, fish, because I believe agricultural can play a viltal role in stopping inflation

Actually, many have been mentioned on this thread like the following;

• Real estate
• Business

And it's not just about having those investments or assets. You can also have employment that's good paying or if not, as long as it brings food to your family's table. That's what matters on these days when everyone is struggling and having a hard time beating up the inflation and are just in the recovery period of their life statuses.

Well if you want to increase your portfolio you can earn from passive income tho in this bear market, staking can give us a decent return in this market if you're afraid to invest or even do some trading. Don't ever FOMO just because your friend told you to invest there but do some research and find what the best strategy that suits you.
