You mean if you invest $1000 in bitcoin for $69k and after 3 years bitcoin is worth $70k, and you consider this a success that bitcoin brings? I really don't understand what your business plan is here, but for me this is the biggest failure if I were the one making this investment. Because meanwhile, if I use this $1k to do other traditional jobs for 3 years, I will definitely earn x2 or x3 that amount of money. And I won't have to endure the mental torture of watching bitcoin drop to $15k.

The best investment is the one that gives you the highest returns, and whether you make good returns or not depends on you, not on bitcoin or any other asset. Even if bitcoin is the best asset, if you cannot make good profits from it, what does it mean to you that it is the best? For me, bitcoin would be useless in that case too.

When bitcoin price increases, most people will not sell bitcoin because they expect higher profits . But when bitcoin starts falling in price, and if the price drops too much, it's inevitable that people will panic . Maybe many people will not take profits but they will be willing to cut losses to avoid further losses, and this is common with most investors. What you say sounds simple, but when you fall into that situation you will see that it is not as simple as you think .

Not to mention as OP mentioned , if your investment capital is only 1 to 2 thousand dollars then you will not panic but if your investment capital is 100k to 200k then you will understand how terrible that feeling is.

They are known as crypto billionaires because most of their wealth is earned from the cryptocurrency market. But I believe that once they become rich and diversifying their assets is something they never forget. Even retail investors like us are aware of the risks of the cryptocurrency market, they would not be stupid enough to not be aware of it. So, I believe that those who have become rich through cryptocurrency so far are not sure that all their assets are in cryptocurrency.

Personally I will do that too, after this bull season I will leave only 20% of my assets in crypto, the rest I will invest in traditional businesses and that will bring gives me more security than concentrating my assets entirely in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies.

Yes , perhaps we need to adapt and get used to high fees because this is no longer a temporary problem but is becoming more and more frequent . Think about what would happen to transaction fees if more and more people joined bitcoin and more transactions were made ? Sadly, until now there has been no truly effective solution to overcome the transaction fee problem, we have to really adapt and live with this reality.

This reminds me of people who are dreaming of bitcoin becoming a currency in their country , are they willing to use bitcoin to pay their daily bills and pay an extra $5-$15 per transaction?   

Delhi are likely to see their second win today. LSG won the toss and elected to bat. But due to the excellent performance of the Delhi bowlers, LSG team is now under a lot of pressure. LSG collected 66 runs in 7.4 overs. The run rate is not too bad, but the team has already lost four wickets. While the two openers batted somewhat well, Padikkal and Stoinis did not bat well.

Kl Rahul is batting responsibly. He is unbeaten with 32 runs off 16 balls. LSG can provide big targets if Kl rahul stays at the crease. KL Rahul has the ability to play big innings and bat at a smart strike rate. However, Delhi bowlers have been bowling very controlled so far. If the team can continue this trend then maybe Delhi will be able to win.

Will Girona be able to overtake Barcelona?

I think this is a question that is in the minds of a lot of players and people as well. The Barcelona team is probably not going to perform very well because of all the problems that they have. Even though they are in the second position, there is a chance that they will not be able to consistently win till the end of the season. And I think that is something the team will count on. Otherwise, it is going to be a problem for them. For Girona to finish in the second position, Barcelona has to lose.

By the way, Girona has some hard matches to play in the rest of the matches that they have to play. So probably Barcelona will finish in the second position. But we all know, Barcelona has problems of their own.

What are your predictions based on? Can you provide a chart and indicator where you think we have a hidden reversal pattern and the possibility of bitcoin dropping to the $60k area?

Personally, I'm not good at technical analysis but I see things as supporting a short-term uptrend and the odds of us hitting a new ATH are higher than the odds of us falling back to support like you said.

Regarding bitcoin correcting after halving, I will support you because nothing goes up forever. But I believe that Bitcoin will continue to make new ATHs and will only correct after the halving, and it will also be a significant correction in preparation for entering the biggest growth wave of this cycle.

Which country are you from? I was quite surprised to see that real estate and housing in your country are quite cheap compared to my country. I am also planning to buy land and build a house in 2025 when I will sell my bitcoin and crypto assets when they hit my target. But the price I have to pay will be much higher than yours and that is the reason why I still cannot realize this dream of mine. To be able to own a house including real estate, it costs me more than 100 thousand and that's why I don't want to sell my investment soon. Currently I have enough ability to realize my dream, but if I do so I will have no capital to continue investing so I decided to wait a little longer. I hope to soon achieve my dream so that my wife and children can have a real house to live in.

In my opinion, if we are a trader, paying attention to news and macro events is extremely necessary. If we are long-term investors, I don't think this news is necessary because it only shows the short-term impact. In the long term, bitcoin has almost only one main trend: up and only up.

In addition, I don't trust news or events too much, I think everything is just being used by market makers to manipulate our psychology. They use news, FUD, events... to manipulate psychology and legitimize their manipulation in the market.

Invest in bitcoin and if we always pay too much attention to these things, we can easily fall into the traps of market makers because they will always find ways to make us sell bitcoin at cheap prices. As a bitcoin investor, I think we should just focus on holding and only sell when we reach our goals, and we should ignore everything that is spreading in the market.

Many people only look at bitcoin supply and price to make paranoid predictions, and they never think about bitcoin's capitalization. It took gold more than a hundred years to reach a capitalization of 15 trillion, and the stock market is the world's largest financial market with a total capitalization of more than 90 trillion. It is an illusion that many people think that an asset that is not widely popular or has not yet been accepted worldwide can reach a capitalization of 18 trillion USD. You're right, it's not going to happen anytime soon and at least in our generation, it's not likely to happen.

@Plaguedeath This is going to be a competitive match in the Europa League in my opinion. Both of the teams would definitely like to win this match. But the other thing is, both of them also have to concentrate on their domestic league. Liverpool has to give a lot more importance to the English Premier League. Because they have a real chance to win the English Premier League title. the competition is very high though. so I don’t know if Liverpool will actually be able to concentrate too much in this Europa League competition. Let’s be honest the competition of the Europa League is not as glorifying as the English Premier League at this moment. So I expect Klopp will rotate some players for next match against Atalanta, and keep the core team as strong as possible for the Premier League.

This was a result that I genuinely did not expect. I have point out is that the goalkeeping from both the teams were really bad. well not only the goalkeeping. The defense from both teams were also equally bad in my opinion. They were unable to defend worth anything. Every time any attacking player was approaching the final third, it looked like it was going to be another goal scored. Because the defense kept backing up and backing up. And for both teams the attackers actually got free space. Massive win for empoli. I think they will have a very good chance to stay away from the relegation zone. after so many losses this was really good result for them.

If I talk about Torino, it is really badluck to conceded 3 goal to a team who has not any win last 4 games. Juric could have played Vojvoda, Sazonov or Lovato in Tameze's place role, I mean right back position. Juric needs to rotate some players to keep their position standard.

I personally think that it would have been better for Liverpool to actually go for some other coach. To be honest I thought they were going to go for Xabi Alonso. But just because they are meeting someone doesn’t mean the deal is done. I just hope that Liverpool will make sure that the next coach will be able to bring as much success as they had with Jurgen Klopp if not more. And I doubt very much that he will actually be able to bring that success for Liverpool. Alonso is probably a perfect replacement. But of course, it is not as easy as it sounds. Alonso is probably dreaming of managing Real Madrid and that's why he might stay another season in Leverkusen.

Yes, I know we are on the speculation board and people feel free to make their delusional predictions, bitcoin reach 1 million, 10 million or 100 million in the future. But what I want to say is that we should be a little more realistic and slow down a bit, enjoy what we have instead of dreaming too much. Because sometimes we set our expectations too high but then things don't turn out as we expected, we will be filled with frustration and feel like everything is falling apart. We are investing with our own money so don't let illusions cause us to lose money or lose profits that we could have had.

Bitcoin gives us transparency about transactions, but let's not forget that it also gives us a certain privacy (anonymity). And that's why the government has difficulty tracking down and apprehending criminals using bitcoin.

Being transparent does not mean it will be easy for us to get our assets back if we are scammed or hacked. To date, there have been millions of bitcoin hacks and cases of people being scammed related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But how many cases have been resolved? As far as I know, not much because tracking data on blockchain is not as easy as we imagine.

Did you not read my post? I also said that LSG won this match only because of their brilliant bowling. If the bowlers don't perform well, LSG won't be able to win this match. Because on this pitch it was a very difficult task to win by giving a target of only 164 runs. However, LSG won the match by a huge margin of 33 runs.

Gujarat's batting order is one of the strongest batting order among the teams in this year's IPL. Sai Sudarshan, Gill, Williamson, Vijay, Rahul and Rashid Khan are all experienced batsmen for the T20 format. LSG bowlers bowled brilliantly against such experienced batsmen. Their bowling was very controlled. This is why the batting of Gujarat batsmen was very slow from the beginning of the innings.

I would say the turning point of this match was Krunal Pandya's ninth over. In this over Krunal pandya took 2 wickets giving only 3 runs. And even after this over, the Gujarat batsmen were under more pressure.

The main reason for LSG's win was Yash Thakur and Krunal Pandya's excellent bowling. Yash Thakur took 5 wickets. Also Krunal's superb controlled bowling put Gujarat batsmen under a lot of pressure and lost the match. Krunal took only three wickets. But he gave only 11 runs in 4 overs. Yash took 5 wickets with 30 runs in 3.5 overs.

After giving LSG a target of 164 I don't think LSG can win this match. Moreover, Gujarat's two overs started well enough. Every batsman in Gujarat's squad is very experienced. Even then, the Gujarat team lost the match by 33 runs. I expected better batting from Gujarat players.

Liverpool are very unlucky. I have nothing else to say except this. In the first half we only saw the dominance of Liverpool players. Liverpool players created many attacking opportunities. But the team managed to score only one goal. On the other hand, in the first half, Manchester United's players did not make any attempt to attack. Liverpool was leading 1-0 at the end of the first half.

Manchester United changed their game strategy in the second half. Bruno's goal in less than 50 minutes equalized the match. And the players of Manchester United started playing attacking strategy. Mainoo's goal in the 67th minute gave Manchester United a 2-1 lead. And 6 minutes left for the match to end. I don't think Liverpool players can score two goals in these 6 minutes. But I still think Liverpool will not lose against Manchester United today.

Frankly speaking, the fact that bitcoin can reach 1 million USD or more is just our prediction and expectation, we have no guarantee that it will happen whether it is 10 years or 20 years later.

It is true that bitcoin is becoming a new trend and receiving a lot of attention from people around the world, but let's not ignore the scenario that in the coming years there will be a better currency than bitcoin created and it will surpass bitcoin. So what we should do is enjoy the present moments, don't think too much about things that haven't happened in the distant future. My immediate goal is to still take profits in the upcoming bull season and I will base my next plans on the market situation.

Listening to the two of you talk, I imagine that escaping poverty seems too easy and not at all difficult as many people think. But have you ever wondered why there are still so many poor people in the world? By the way, let me ask, for poor people who cannot even afford to buy main family meals, how will they save and invest? In many poor countries, people don't even have jobs because of government corruption, so how will they save and invest? Not everyone is as lucky as us to be protected by our parents, fully educated, have the opportunity to access the internet... there are many tragic situations that we have never witnessed. If you are not in that situation, how can you understand what they are going through?
