Like you said demand and supply which in general means adoption. The more people accept bitcoin so is the demand for it and those who have bitcoin in their custody will surely release some for those who are in need because they will offer a higher price to buy. it. So, i hardly expect a currency with so such a high adoption and usage to its value anytime soon. Bitcoin is just getting started, this is because investment platforms are making it easier for people to invest in Bitcoin with ease. Starting from the Bitcoin ETF. Most investors investing in the Blackrok do not have any solid idea in bitcoin investment, but they trust the platform offering them the investment so what they care about is their ROI that was. stipulated.

I like this. You have so much conviction @Dr. Bitcoin_Strange. Have you thought about the size of the blockchain being an issue, because if more people adopt which we are certain that the population of bitcoin adopters will increase significantly from this year. So, the moment these new set of persons start investing in Bitcoin the transaction load begins to increase and causes longer time for transactions to be verified by miners. Don't you think people will prefer other blockchains while bitcoin will be losing value every day. Don't forget there are a lot of competitors out there who want to see bitcoin collapse.

The days pf 100x are over in Bitcoin. So, your right, 42% is actually a huge return for three years but imagine holding for 10+ years and bitcoin does 70x to 100x that is quite a lot of returns.

This means this is the right time to buy more bitcoins in order to be set for the future, and holding your investment through a lot of ups and downs because the market will surely fluctuate making some investors to panic. The truth bitcoin is just getting started. I feel it is super early as far as adoption continues. I would argue that there are a lot of profit that can be made from bitcoin investment than any other type of investment i know now.

The back up plans you are refereeing to literally means emergency funds. Although i wouldn't prefer stacking emergency funds before thinking of starting an investment. To me it is better to do both simultaneously so as not to miss out on good opportunities to jump in the market. Imagine seeing Bitcoin so cheap that you can afford if you lump sum this week, do you rather prefer to keep your money fund this year and then use the next year money to buy when by then the price would have gone back up?

@Jayjuangee and everyone which do you prefer should be priority?

1. Building your emergency fund first before investing

2. Start investing immediately and leave emergency fund for later

3. Do both of them simultaneously

There is no point introducing the football gambling to the gambler. Obviously, he is a gambler and before now he has heard about sports gambling i don't think it is new to him. He only chose to gamble in slots of which he feels he knows best on how to gamble. The only time it is necessary to introduce the sports gambling to him is perhaps a situation where you will have to predict spirts bet and give to him to bet on.

The best thing to do is to only ask him if he gamble on sports. Then you will hear his reply, maybe yes or no. If no, then you can ask him if he knew about it or why does he prefer other gambling options to sport gambling. On the other hand, he can give you good reasons and also show you more gam bling games that can be very affordable. You know we gamblers are always looking for sure bets and ways that we would have more wins than loss.

Fuck being good, it is totally because of the contract he signed with Manchester United that made him to secure the first choice of goalkeeper there. Onana might be a very promising goal keeper when he was at Inter but after they signed him at Manchester United we have not see any of those potential which he portrays in his previous club. It became more annoying when i see that Manchester United defence is weak, so they are unable to at least prevent their from taking a shot on target to their goal post.

You are emphasizing much on the relationship between Ten hag and Onana which is very annoying. The only relation a coach is suppose to have with his players is the professional football stuff. If a player mess up he has the right to talk to the player to change and if the player insist on not changing he can bench the player or sell him off. No hard feelings. In the case of Onana and Ten Hag, if Ten Hag feels Onana is not performing very well he have another option let him try him and see his performance as well.

If it is possible to put effort and score one more goal they would be at a higher chances to qualify. However, watching them play now i see that they are not playing that bad. Its less than 25 minutes to stoppage time, anything could happen. Gambia are pressing really hard, who knows they might end up equalizing in the game. Anything could happen, because who would have known that ghana match against mozambique will end up becoming a draw match after they have seen them as a weak team and so funny that Ghana wad leading with two goals how come at the last 5 minute in the extra time Mozambique had to score two goals.

You have spoken well. In as much football is a game of passion by Arsene Wenger. Fans should be able to control themselves emotionally especially when they are giving the opportunities to express themselves in any interview or conference. To be a football player is not easy and to be a coach still needs much of skills and intelligences. So, i don't know why a fan would come out from nowhere and start abusing his team for not winning a game. One thing we should understand again about African football competitions is that it involves a game of strength which is very difficult. And a fan should not underestimate any team they meet in any African competition because countries they feel are do not have much of experience in football generally may have good players better than the other teams that have had good experience like participating in the world cup several times.

The US market does not affects your DCA. Unless you do not understand fully what they mean by DCA. It is dollar cost average. You buy based on the percentage you set from your income without having to bother what may affect the market or not. This means that the only time your DCA can shift is when your income get higher or lower . For instance if your are dcaing 40% of your income monthly and your salary is $100 which is equivalent to $40.. So if there is an increase in your monthly income, let me say from your initial $100 to $200. Your dca value would now be $80 monthly. Same thing goes to a scenario where there is a decrease in your income, the dca price would be lesser based on the percentage you set for it.

I hope you understand now. The ETF, buy and sell in the US markets cannot affect your investment approach if dca is your strategy. The only persons that may experience some challenges are trading. Remember, majority of rhose who dca are holding their investment for long. They have the mindset that the value will be significant in the near future. However it is your choice to choose if you want to hold for decades, yearly or bi- yearly.

Mohammad Salah might be Liverpool hit player but his absence doesnt affects the team in a way that they cannot perform very well. I know Liverpool to be a team that in the midst of pressure or red cards they know how to adopt with do much composure to win any game. I have seen several time where they equalized and won a match when they are short of players in the field.

Yes there is this unique experience of play Salah brings to the team that makes him the best. And also, his presence acts as a threat to any of their opponent defence. With or without Salah Liverpool will win their match. If worst comes to worst they will secure a draw game at the end of the day. No news of when Salah will be back from injury but we expect to see him soon.

Bournemouth is getting hot right now. They started the game with so much energy believing they would het a draw at the end of the game or luckily win the match. Well, Liverpool have kill their hopes. Leading with 3 goals in the match and 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League table. However, Bournemouth shouldn't feel bad about the outcome of the match because the played very well just that they are no match for Liverpool. If Liverpool will maintain consistency on thier performance they might end up wining the EPL title.

OP its not gambling or addiction its foolishness. Especially the part where he said that they should take loans to continue betting irrespective of the disadvantages. Sounding as if it is so easy to take loans and repay when i know that some persons find it difficult to pay back loan. Now for instance if they lose the loaned money in gambling how will they repay it?

People should be thinking of the consequences that will arise after taking some kind of decisions. Instead of just focusing on what they will gain from it. In this life there are short term benefits with high consequences in the long run. In my opinion the idea of gambling till oke become successful should not be an advised to gamblers. The mindset should be that gamblers should hamble having the mindset that one day they may quit gambling.

What i know is that, untill the league is over no one can be certain of which that is going to win the EPL title. There are lots of matches to be played and teams that are in top 5 in the EPL table currently will win, draw or lose in the matches left. This is one feature i love about the EPL competition there is nothing like semi final, quarter final or final to play. Its been calculated based on the points level and if para venture both team have the same EPL points they will chose the winner based on who has the highest goal.

Very interesting league to watch  if you are a football lover. Also the matches in the EPL are sometimes easily to prdict because there are teams who have consistently good performance so if you play them to win they probably would win.

I watched the last three previous matches of Arsenal of which they lost giving away 9 points away which have been had to recover from that tremendous lost. Quite unfortunate that today i was suppose to watch the victory of Arsenal i missed for weeks now i was busy sleeping. However i was happy to hear the outcome of the patch which has still kept us in third place in the EPL table.

Also, good to see everyone is back to the team. Now Arteta can dramatically use his substitute players to change some pattern of playing when it becomes tough inside the field. I expect to see more of these sweet performance in the next coming matches and when the UCL should start we should be unstoppable.

E make sense say you no takae any of their criticism to heart instead you carry am set as climbing stone wey make you come dey post quality topics and commnet for the forum. Now see the level you done feach, some person ho they wonder how you take do am. Yes o, at first wey we enter the forum so we no too dey familiar with the way e they go so small small mistakes they come out sometime. But this thing no suppose stop us to learn. E no dey difficult to they creative. Ah no no why e they hard some persons.

You know say i dey see some kind topic wey be say the person you english grammar finish work but last last the main idea of the topic no they communicated to the audience. Weting con be the point of all those plenty plenty talk na. People con they bash am for there so e go write weting him self no understand.

Normally if we see story topic wey dey true we go easily relate say na truth the person dey talk. Yes, d as i notice the forum don full with fake fake story line and unrealistic imaginations from people wey dey find merit bad bad. Which e no make sense at all. Nothing bad if person just be himself and share they share information wey be say na the koko, people for the forum go understand and if they helpful or educative members of the forum go merit am asap.

E make sense say you con talk am for our LB so tha tour brothers go avoid those kinds of things. Make we no go use our head put ourself for trouble. Also make we no forget say smart people they the forum, if they notice any suspicious activity or misinformation dey no go hesistate to tag the account. My own na make we just avoid any wahala and make we focus on making organic comments.

Obviously, the faith on FIAT is dying every day and this is as a result of not giving attention to the cause by the government. Until the government decide to take action to fight against Inflation that is when we may see the Naira gain value. Currently now people are storing their FIAT on assets or investment that will yield them positively because keeping money in banks will do nothing but kill the value of the money. Ill rather get a plot of land and save the value of my money instead of saving it in the bank. Also, i will rather lose the value of my money in Bitcoin than spend it on unnecessary things that holding FIAT could cause.

Seriously did you say Ivory coast was not playing like a good team. Bruh in the match against Ivory Coast vs Nigeria. They had more possessions in the game. However, I will say it was obvious that they are acquainted to their football stadium that is why they were holding the ball more often.

Actually, the game was not well played as both teams were missing out in a lot of opportunities to score a goal. Victor Osimehn had two solid chances as i can remember to score but he missed it. Although he had to win a penalty for his team and that gave them the lead in the game.

I think this is a wise decision you have shared here. Once you are ahead in gambling always take it as an opportunity to exit and enjoy your profit. Gambling does not give people these chances often. As the percentage of people who lose in a day is greater than the percentage that wins.

Buddy, do you know that there are also people who will continue gambling when they are on profit. What they mostly do is that they remove their capital and start making use of their profit to gambling. It's hard to convince that kind of gamblers to stop gambling when they have already got some profit. I believe that they have a targeted profit that is why they are refusing to quit. 

I strongly disagree with you. AI predictions on bitcoin cannot be rely on. Several time i have tried it has given predictions that were totally inaccurate. I think the best bitcoin speculations are gotten from traders and investors. This is because they are the ones who take time to analyze the market structure as long as they have good amount of money invested in it. Now AI can only give you predictions based on previous statistics or occurrence that are related from past years. Also, from speculations that was shared on the internet from other bitcoin speculators.

Don't forget any information AI gives to you is gotten from the internet. Which is still from humans as well. So, the speculations may or may not be accurate since its source is still coming from human perspective.

Seriously you don't know what you are talking about OP. You are confused because you believe the trends online and what people say which made you not make solid enquiries before thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Previously you said you have high hope that Bitcoin will excel after the ETF approval and havening process. All of a sudden you are expecting the price to go high immediately after the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. It's not evening up to the second quarter of the year you are expecting a full bull market.

The havening process is yet to come. Of which so many persons are eagerly waiting for the time. But all you wanted is just to see the price of Bitcoin moving high without considering the market structure. OP, you will be disappointed if you do not exercise patient while holding your Bitcoin. Don't push yourself too hard to sell if the price suddenly goes up in the next few weeks. Surely you may regret later but if you truly have hope in Bitcoin, you will hold it for long at least till the end of the year. That is when you may have a good outcome.
