It's like asking the question, why is the sky blue? It's part of life and a part of the cycle. It can be down ±5, and it's something normal. This is just the behavior of the market and the investors are maybe taking profits or something.

It's best to look at the long-term view because you will see how much it has grown ever since BTC was created.

Are you concerned with your investment?

Well, it's always going to be up to the person in which you are going to be taking the necessary signal of the "dip" as a sale. Mostly, it's a great sign to get a discounted price of an asset but you can never predict what is going to happen next knowing that the volatility of crypto is high.

With the simple analogy of supply and demand, if the number of people using BTC increases and the supply decreases, it's just a matter of time before it continues to rise in price.

It's each to their own, if you believe in BTC, then buy BTC. Simple as that.

With everything going on, I believe it's always going to be the middle-class taxpayers who will do the heavy lifting. Most of the people at the top probably have created ways to reduce their taxes so they could have more. I believe that the percentage going on to the government is way higher in terms of overall payments.

I believe this is okay as long as you are getting the benefits that a government should have and it doesn't inhibit or stop you with anything else. You are getting the proper care. But if not, it shouldn't be continued or something.

I voted Exchange partially for alts and partly hold. It's just when I really need it and having that kind of earning is really good but I use it when really needed. I would prefer to have this whenever I need it. It's definitely volatile to trade it consistently, and the partial HODL is what I do as well.

I think HODLing BTC would just give me fewer opportunities unlike if I trade it with other alts that can give higher returns.

When you ask here on BTCT, it's mostly going to be Bitcoin-centric. A lot of members here show that they are a Bitcoin maximalist. A lot wouldn't be thinking of buying any other coin.

If your goal is for it to increase in price, you would most likely get Coinbase Global since it's more versatile and knowing that the BASE chain is getting hyped up and probably going to stay for the long term. 

There's no assurance that it's going to go up but you need to decide what you think is best. Diversified vs. One Stock. I see it in that way.

You do know it's not about you but the government looking on to him. Depending on the legal considerations per country, it's different and there are laws that has something to do with gifts and taxes. If there is, maybe that's the concern of your friend.

You do know that it doesn't guarantee happiness right? Even if you have a lot of money, it's always going to be on a case-to-case basis.

Having that type of thinking is making it harder for people to accept what the role of money is in the lives of people. It is a necessity for basic survival anywhere.

You must know what your responsibility is and focus on that. Maybe you could try to find balance with everything and hope for you to recover. As for your father, try to help him, I know it can be done.

Based on your approach, I see it as something that has much less conviction because there's no reason for the signals. Do they include reasons why they believe a certain "meme" coin will hold up the price or something? Right now, I don't think the signals of the without backing are really just a gamble and they might probably have hit a couple of wins but not going to be consistent. I would prefer to have something more complete IMO.

I am not aware that there's something like that in Binance. Credit accounts that have credit card? Or a credit card by Binance?

I have purchased BTC with my credit card and it's an instant transaction. I'm not sure why for you, there's something to worry about or something. Did you try to refund it or something?

Don't gamble everything in one go. You can take it step by step and it should be something that you should already know and have an advantage on when you're trying to bet.

Do you have plans for your next bet? Maybe the members here could collectively give insights on it or something.

Fave? As in favorite? Or pave?

I think taking it to the every detail that you manage to use an excel spreadsheet every step of the way is one of the best ways to really be serious about things and it could show you something that you might not have seen if you hadn't done it.

I do journal but not with having an excel spreadsheet, just writing my experiences for the day.

There are a lot of exchanges but not sure about the difference between the fees. Check the fees per exchange but the new exchanges that I have registered are the following:

• MEXC
• Blofin

Just to be clear, I'm not affiliated with any of them but they have that good pairs to trade with.

It's both. Imagine someone having the power to have the number of tokens that they have, increase, and maybe get it in an early stage and they can move it around. Once they are able to see the coin listed in a big exchange or it's in DEX, they wait for volume and then they just dump everything. This is with the price going down but not dying.

The main responsible for the coin dying is going to be the developers. It's up to them to continue improving the project.

I guess it's more of my passion for my career that it turns into a moment of monetization. It just gives value and makes it into a more enjoyable stance just because of the money. It's really interesting for people to be able to do that and I believe if you just work hard / smarter, you can reach that too.

I'm not at the point where I want but it's getting there step by step.

Where did you get that idea? Not everyone, especially members here, thinks like that (based on the things I've read here). I'm speaking for myself here but I HODL BTC but I'm not anti-government and banks.

I believe the POV that you are trying to pertain to is that there are people who want the government to stop controlling everything, making it anti-government but that could be a case-to-case basis. It's something that you need to understand that it's not going to be always the case unless your government is corrupt and you want to promote transparency.

Using BTC as the mode of payment makes it so that it's publicly available and can be seen. There's a lot of discussion for this.

I'm pretty sure that TON is really a big project but not sure if it will kill SOL or something to that liking. Imagine being able to overcome other projects just because of users. I mean, yes, they have a lot but I think it's mostly because of multiple accounts as well. I'm not sure if there is a lot of money pouring into it besides its subscription.

It can be an investment opportunity to have this at your fingertips.

I'm not sure how will this hold up with the Bitcoin community in Sweden but I'm more concerned about the overall effect. Is the mining operations in Sweden a big percentage? I'm curious about how they will be able to react to this or something.

I have searched for this and it's around 0.84% of the hash rate.^[1]

Not that big IMO.

In terms of "resistant", neither of them. It's not a gender thing and it's all about the chances and the edge and chances are the same, it just depends on when it happens.

I think you are more of in the lines of "resilient" of never giving up with gambling. I have known people who gamble and the majority of them are men, I think it's more of the males who are resilient and keep on gambling and losing more.

If I were to make research between the two, I would check the following

• The technology
• Use cases
• Community

These are some of my chosen categories for research. It's mostly general and can be easily seen. It's important for me that I see some value that is coming from the users because, without them, it wouldn't have value.

I see SOL as something that could give value even with MEME coins lol.

This is like the race last year in Singapore where the odds are still "the predicted" one with Max knowing how dominating he is. I really think there were a lot of stakes with Lando and was able to take advantage of making Lando the favorite. He really was amazing staying ahead and having a great margin as well.

I think Lando has become a consistent contender and this will turn out a great year for the F1 fans, I think.
