That's what a government means, controlling and governing. But no, government didn't accept fiat currencies they made it to control and govern its people.

Several governments are trying to adapt Bitcoin and not trying to control it, bitcoin is a protocol that cannot be owned like tangible things, so they don't have an option if people wants to use bitcoin in a transaction, this is also why governments are giving some warning about it where in fact this is not their priority to get their hands with. I believe there is one thing that governments can benefit from Bitcoin is getting a back a small portion of centralization to people who are using Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general.

Waiting for actually 10 minutes is a bit awkward, you could have just used another search engine. I tried it just now and works pretty fast for me, perhaps the words you searched have been used more often so it takes longer than usual, but not 10 minutes lol. I encountered the same issue but didn't took me any longer than 2 minutes, so yeah internet could be your problem or the device you are using.

No it is not, that is unacceptable for most. Gaza terrorists made a surprise attack killing hundreds of civilians in less than a day, then they sent them a boasting $93 million for what? for support of terrorism? it would be much acceptable if this hasn't come thru crypto exchange, we know how this is going down to a big issue. The entire country is under siege, cutting necessities to Palestine, do you know where that $93 million is going? to the black market ofc.
This is not because of cryptocurrency, this is simply because Russia is putting some fuel to this ongoing war. I hate to believe that this is going to be an all out war, perhaps going onto much bigger war.

Stop loss is a vital role in trading to minimize our losses, but sometimes we also make mistakes setting our stop loss making us regret after we see how our trade ends.

This is the normal thing to do right? I mean trading is preparing yourself to ride a wave not to dive into it. Just one piece of advice when trying to place an entry price, make sure you are setting at the history point of price, usually it always go back to that price pumping or dumping again. And for stop loss, just minimize your stop loss at -20%, Imma say that's the safest when it comes to minimizing your losses especially in huge trades.

Lahat naman siguro tayo nagsisisi na hindi naniwala sa bitcoin noon, pero kasi hindi rin talaga natin masabi dati kung san ba talagang direksyon papunta si bitcoin or cryptocurrencies as a whole kasi dati yung mga gantong technology is mahirap paniwalaan, kumbaga dati wala tayong idea na magkakaroon ng iPhone 15 pro max.

Baligtad naman yung nangyari sakin, napagtapos ko naman yung sarili ko ng college dahil sa crypto. Pero yung experience mo kabayan is panghabang buhay mo yan na tatanawin, survivor ka ni crypto haha.

Good to know na may naipundar ka because of crypto, ako puro memories naman yung pinaggamitan ko ng mga pera na naging profit ko sa crypto, gala dito gala doon, kain dito kain doon, aware ako sa lifestyle na nakasayan ko noon kaya ngayon naman ako nagbabawi para mkapagpundar ng business 

A fault at first. Some newbies thought trading is all about making profits, not thinking how much they could lose through it.

No, a trader only requires money, a platform, a little knowledge to buy and sell. A good trader possesses knowledge through researches, money, platform, enhanced cognitive skills, and discipline. Actually, a mere trader does not think about the risk, it is least of their concern.

Being involved in trading is being involved to the entirety of crypto space, a small news could spark the status of the market. Every trader should be wary of the events happening around crypto, this is why researches is a good weapon to fight against the volatile market.

That's what probably is the cause why he did continue to attack bitcoin, he's just into it and wanted bitcoin to gain popularity. Just some reverse psycho thing, we know he's smart when it comes to investment.

If he just wanted to warn the public about bitcoin, he will not go as far as what he did to bitcoin, it was something else on his end to sell mouths against bitcoin. I guess banks won't have to call him telling about their investments, it is him who called NuBank to invest, he's smart enough to play with the businesses especially with the money he has, I bet he has some holdings that he didn't name after him due to his investment confidence rate.

While getting a mentor for trading is a good idea, I don't think it'll be worth to pay for that mentor who is only getting some insights also with other people. I agree, real traders don't need to add a hustle and mentor any one who wants to be taught. Perhaps they are your friend, or relative then you can hand them some money from your profit. Trading + Teaching + facilitating someone is very time-consuming, I mean I would just trade on exchange instead of teaching someone like I'll be doing the same trade I am teaching him and see myself win. OP can just like join as many signal groups as he likes, follow the majority of it and see out results.

See how people of forum life progress? see my man is married now, I became a father, I know most of us did but I just feel wholesome when I see post like this.  Anyways,

Congrats OP for your marriage. Technically you didn't give your wife the half of your bitcoin investment, even if you provided her own wallet and transfer the half of it. The bitcoin investment you have now is owned by both of you, you get united to her and you together become one. I love how she opened her ears listening to your story about bitcoin, I know most of women will not do the same. I hope I get to that point where my spouse get to talk things about crypto 

Bitcoin being involved in a lot of controversy and rumor and still number one of the board is why people won't let their hands of bitcoin. Imagine being called bubble a hundred times by billionaires, economists, people with influence etc. and standing still up til now with a price of $28k.

Yeah it is like a reverse effect of bitcoin when people call it a bubble or trash. I don't think people will lose interest in bitcoin as long as they see a price action and not a stagnant price for it so they can trade and making constant profit. But holding bitcoin would affect its price, pretty sure this is also why we are not seeing that much price volatility in the past few months.

Being in war is being at chaos.

It is almost impossible to get your business running during war, especially if the whole country is involve in war like landlock countries in Asia and Europe. It's always the people who suffer for the aftermath. Timely, I just watched a survivor from Israel, they are so innocent partying just dancing along during the festival moments after they are running with bullets and for their lives. From there I can already assume that living in war is such a traumatic experience that you can't even think about opening a business or doing stuff by yourself.

Totoo. Same reason kung bakit madami sa atin ang hindi makakuha ng maayos na profit dahil sa greed talaga. Alam ko meron tayong lahat ng grediness, pero when it comes to offers kasi ibang iba yung pakiramdam, alam ko marami satin simula nung nakapagexplore na sa crypto alam na kung ano yung red flag when it comes to investments. Karamihan or should I say more than 90% ng investment offers na nagrerevolve sa crypto is too good to be true, madalas ponzi scheme konting invite lang kikita ka na, sobrang daming nahuhumaling dito kase quick rich ika nga nila pero di nila alam pera lang din ng ibang tao yung nagiging payout nila not even thinking how the system works or san galing yung payout nila.

It's called holding, not keeping. People be lucky enough to sell their Bitcoins during bull market is a good idea and a strategy as well because they can always buy back when it changes it phase to bear market which obviously be a profit for them. We do have different strategy for buying and selling bitcoins, if you don't sell during a bull market then you losses the potential of gaining in the long run, perhaps you're holding for life and leave it to your grandchildren. As long as you don't need it, it is good as gold when you want to sell it.

Unfortunately, this is a very expensive lesson to the OP. If I were on his shoes, it wouldn't cost me $16K to know that I am making a mistake in trading hence costing my salary monthly just to be a lesson.

@hugeblack is right, he lacks a strategy. For me $16K is a lot money, wish I could have that amount someday. I think what he is doing is that he is chasing his losses thinking he could revive his wallet in a day, but it turns out wrong. Keep in mind that trading is a waiting game and also a timing game, if you could have invested your time learning and researching about the coins you are investing if could have lessen your losses, or else you even make a profit out of it. Then wait for the perfect market, tho you can spot it but you can always have analysis and gain insight from the indicators.

My wife. I literally share my ATM pin number to her since she holds my ATM(which I voluntarily ask  ) and also because she is the one who budgets our expenses in the house. I only get part of it as my allowance and the rest will to her budgeting.
[/quote] That's normal, yes? I mean if you're not in the house then someone should handle the budget for y'all? and who do you trust your life with? your wife.

I believe so, and again that would be our natural instinct as a man. If you wife have a history of cheating in any way then that's the only time it is healthy to mistrust, even not your wife. If someone already broke the trust you gave them then it is only healthy to mistrust someone, even the slightest thing you can have with them.

Yeah these assets are good, but in terms of security I think Gold and Land are the best for sure. Since Bitcoin is so volatile, you can't just sell it for the price you want it to sell it for, unlike Gold and Land.

In my country, it is sooo hard to process documents for the land, not unless you know someone from the office then it's quite easy, but for some ordinary people with no connections at all, it'll take years to get your papers done.

Bitcoin is more of inconsistent asset, lucky if you got in time to sell it during bull run hence you'll be waiting for quite some time to be appreciated. We know where is the direction of Bitcoin is going, it is just inconsistent with its pattern especially if more and more institutions gets involve with owning Bitcoin.

I agree, it's contradictive statement because you can't calculate risks with uncertain situations. It is true that there should be always a risk in order to gain success, but wouldn't it be good if the risks are calculated? you don't need to walk in room with the lights off, you can definitely read the room and study how are you able to cross that room.

But isn't it in trading there is no calculated risks? I mean yes we can manage the risk but it is not measurable, often happens to be the exact same way as we plan it? Indicators might be useful to know the risks of investing or trading but these indicators aren't accurate at all. In my opinion, cryptocurrency trading isn't for the safe player, I've witnessed it all and heard some of the most breaking stories on crypto taking risks they thought is fine, and ended in cruel way.

Isa siguro sa dahilan kung bakit walang gumagamit ng bitcoin as currency dahil mas ginagamit sya as commodity. Mukang mahirap talaga sya iintegrate sa business kabayan, pero ang isa sa mga pwede mo gawin is ilagay yung crypto as optional mode of payment.

Sa lending business din mukang mahirap sya iapply kasi masyadong volatile ang bitcoin, unless magkaron ka ng fixed na contract sa amount na ibabayad siguro which is dalawa lang yung magiging result, either profit ka or in loss then wait again para maging profit.

Matagal tagal ko na din iniisip magtayo ng business na iikot din sa bitcoin, yung idea ko naman is mini grocery store na nagbibigay ng discount pag gumamit ng crypto as payment, ang maganda sa ganito is maraming tao ang pagaaralan pano gumamit ng crypto to get a discount at the same time nagkakaron ka ng crypto which you can sell if the market goes up. Ano sa tingin nyo sa idea na tulad nito?

Bitcoin dominance might be half of the whole cryptocurrencies capitalization but the other half is just as important as bitcoin when it comes to trading. We know for a fact that bitcoin started it all, but altcoin makes the market more interesting, imagine if we cryptocurrencies are composed of just 5 crypto, there won't be any trading activity if that would happen, there will be just a faction where you need to choose which side of cryptocurrency are you in.

Trading altcoins is much interesting on my end, bitcoin is for holder, big whales who can accumulate bits and whole of bitcoin, not for traders like us. With the price of bitcoin, there are things may come unexpectedly, well if you got a luck then trading bitcoin might work for you.
