Do not worry about these kinds of topics guys, they are just fudders who have missed out on crypto and that's all, or maybe they are trolls and have fun getting all the attention. I mean there are people on this planet who are so alone, so lonely that even getting hate, even getting cursed at, even saying the most awful and horrible things to get a bit of attention seems like an option for them, I have seen much more sick stuff compared to this and Bitcoin being an enslavement is just an opinion so it is fine.

This is why I do not look at all the fudders, I just care about what we can do and not topics like these. You can do your own research, look at what bitcoin is, what it has done in the last 10 years, how much money people made, how many people paid of school debt, mortgages and many other stuff, and then come back and read this, you will see it is just funny.

Please do not have pre-determined target levels for your future investments because usually these kind of approaches lead to big disappointments as crypto market is never been as same hence accepting whatever profit levels are available at the end of bullish trend must be a good thing, we need to bring in our practice. Honestly I am not having any big list of coins which are guaranteeing 15x returns.

Still, you may go for RDD/waves kind of old coins to get quicker profits in coming days because as per my speculations these coins are about to launch toward moon. So, getting into them early will ensure maximum returns.

The problem with the "altcoin" word these days is that there are altcoins and there are projects that pose as altcoins. For example there are 2-3 new defi projects on BSC every single day, some of them actually do worth some money eventually, some of them are just pump and dump, and there are tons of them who are just rug pull (which is basically word for scam in BSC world) and steal everyone's money. Long story short we are talking about something that is profitable and that is why I think it is obvious that we are not going to be that great in the long run if we cannot see the difference.

Altcoins that are in top 50 are coins I trust to be decent, there are still some of them whore bad there but at least most of them are "decent" and that is good enough, whereas there are so many new coins, go check altcoin bounty section and you will see many of them, those are very dangerous to invest yet people invest tens of thousands of dollars to them.

This is more than just taking a profit, it looks like we are not doing fine at all, it could be a big market correction. I have turned to BUSD yesterday, and many of my friends said I was doing a mistake because the drops until yesterday was just a correction and it would be going up again, but I would have lost another 3 thousand dollars if I kept my money in crypto, I cashed out and now I am all in BUSD.

This is not for getting out completely, I will get back in, I want to get back in, and I will do that if bitcoin goes above 55k again, I will definitely buy at those prices, and you might be asking why buy when it is higher, but I do not buy while it is falling down, I buy when it starts to go up, not at the peak prices, but during the increase itself. 55k is not the peak, 64k is, and I wouldn't go back in there, but if I can buy at 55k and sell at 64k that will be great, however if it fails to go to 55k at least I am fine at BUSD.

It is not just one person, it is i not just group of people, it is a whole bunch of people in tens of thousands that fail in trading, including me. Some people are both unlucky and do not have the patience to just day trade all day every day, it is both very hard to learn how to do that and study to become better, but also even if you are great at it, the job itself is not as cool as portrayed in Hollywood movies.

You do not just open up 5 monitors every day, all looking at different charts and make trades all day sipping coffee, that is what you look like from outside but the reality you are dealing with thousands of dollars at minimum, some do it with millions of dollars, you could be up 200k+ one day or down 200k+ that day, having the balls to sit through those and making right decisions even after those things require a lot of expertise and a lot of emotionlessness.

I guess long term is a deal for everyone, it helps you make a profit. While the ups and downs create a big problem for the day traders who get super excited by even 100 dollar increase in bitcoin due to being in 150x leverage or a 100$ drop make them go crazy upset because of the same reason, we are all here like "what? dropped another 5k? that's fine it will go up 10k in a year anyway" and not be bothered by it.

I am so glad that I got into bitcoin right at the nick of time, I would have never bought into it now, but since I got into it under 10k I bought some and have been keeping it at profit for over a year now. This way I do not care if it is 50k or 60k, that is not my money, it is my profit, and yeah sure I could have taken it out if I wanted to, but why would I want that, I can just wait for few more years and take out in 100k+ anyway so it is all fine.

Looking at the price, it is 50% less than what the ATH was and I think that tells you something. In a week it lost over 30-40% of it is profits easily and people are going crazy over it. I am not saying it will never become $1, that is still a possibility but the fact is that many people bought an altcoin just because Elon Mustk tweeted about it still boggles my mind. I mean sure it could be a good strategy considering it worked so far, but when he is not tweeting about it there is a chance of it going down like this as well that people do not see. This is why I think it is dangerous, I am not saying not profitable because some did made some profits, but it is 100% definitely dangerous.

I wouldn't be really putting money into something that is this much dangerous to people and when it is this much risky as well. I prefer coins that are safer like btc, bnb, eth those are less volatile and less dangerous.

I think this is not just for now type of deal, it is a long term deal that you have to consider. Do you think ADA will go up faster than bitcoin? Because if you think ada will go up faster than bitcoin that means you should hold your ada, but if you think bitcoin will go up faster than ada, then you should sell your ada at a loss and buy bitcoin. Nobody knows for sure which one will happen, nobody can guarantee you anything and that means you have to either make decision yourself, or you have to listen to someone else who doesn't know neither but talks like they know.

I personally can't tell you which coin you should be picking up, I have my own coins, I buy few of them not just bitcoin or ada, and I keep buying and investing them and think long term, if you know what you are going to do keep doing that but if not you should just ask yourself the first two questions.

Why though? Why would bitcoin kill central banks? What would benefit bitcoin, and what would the society benefit from no more central banks? Do you really know what they are suppose to do and what they are there for?

Central banks are the places that take a look at a nations economy and make decisions based on that, and if you remove it all together it becomes the wild west and outlaws and there won't be anything that decides on what's going to happen, I am not saying that would be bad compared to now because I do not know, maybe a liberal economy without a central bank is the solution to all the economical problems we have but I can guarantee you the first few decades will be horrible because liberal economies allow rich to do whatever they want so instead of the Central bank it would be people like Elon or Jeff that decides the economy, I rather not deal with that.

Well, bitcoin is nearly at 50k again, ethereum at 2.3k levels, bnb managed to break over 500 too. It looks like whatever that crash was, it is over now, it is not crashing any longer. Now everyone has to think if that was it and there won't be no more, or if there is a bigger crash coming in.

I believe this was getting rid of all the debts, borrows, lending, long futures, even some short futures because they will take profit, getting rid of all of that and purely going back up again from 50k to 70k+ levels with another very powerful test. You may think I am a dreamer but there is enough money in the crypto world to test something like that, and that is what I believe will happen. Obviously we are not sure, maybe it will crash even more, maybe it will go under 30k in 10 days? Who knows, I just think that 70k+ will be tested in May after such a crash happened.

I have seen many things in my life, met with a lot of people, hear them speak and I have heard a lot of people saying the wrong things, same with writing as well thanks to being born in the internet age for the past 20 years I have been online and reading people being wrong, argued with a lot of time, let some of them be wrong and moved on as well.

I however never seen or heard or read anything that is this much wrong before, I have seen people say that humanity was evolved from a species that ran away from Mars to colonize earth because Mars was becoming inhospitable to live, millions of years ago, someone literally believed this was the source of how humanity started, and even that guy was more right in a way that at least he had evolution in his steps. OP however is the first person I have seen that managed to be categorically wrong in every step, kudos mate.

The problem is that new people coming in pumped the price of many weird coins, dogecoin, hot, chilliz, btt and many things like that. Those coins have absolutely nothing going for them, there was no reason for it to go up neither, they are all useless and for some reason it was still pumped; which is why I think it is obvious that we should not be doing anything like that if we can but newbies did it anyway so now they are going to cry a lot when their money goes down.

Dogecoin went as much as 40 cents, I kept telling people not to invest in it because it is a useless meme coin that will go down hard, now it crashed and many people who told me "see how it goes up" are now crying instead. New people coming in is good only if they make smart decisions, but new people coming in and making idiotic movements is not good for the market in general since they lose money.

^^That limited minutes will also help him as much as it helps the team as well. Think about it this way, if he came back and started with 30+ minutes there is a chance he could be injured again and that is bad for himself the most, and also it would be bad for the team as well.

However it would also be bad for the team to play him 30 minutes, even without injury risk, because he hasn't played in a while and playing him small minutes first while he is still not back to his shape and then increasing his minutes will definitely make things better for the team, let him get back to his level again and he will be ready to play 30+ minutes and deliver for sure.

Of course Lakers needed him, and he will be there, he is playing already which is good news, but they can't risk an injury at this point, that would mean he may not be 100% in playoffs, that is why they are being extra careful.

I can't believe we had such a big fall but the real fact in here is that I can't believe the odds on under 50k, they are soo high, people never even imagined we would drop 10+ and now we are almost there. There were talks about 70k+ just like a week ago or so, maybe two weeks ago but in general it was talks about how here could be a big increase that pushes the price over 70k, now we are talking about if it will be 55-60 range and that's I think possibly is not going to happen.

I hope that we are not at the start of a 2018 type run, that would be something horrible and I would not want something like that to happen but I suppose we are not going to know until it is too late. There could be one more push to try and see if it will be staying high and not dropping further, but if that fails too that means we may have a 2018 type of crisis in our hands.

I'm just shocked on such a question from a fullmember of this forum. We are all becoming rich just because of holding bitcoins and nothing got changed over the years with the promises of bitcoins. You may still invest into bitcoin and definitely you will become richer than today in coming years. Bitcoin is slowly getting recognized by governments and hedge funds; so this must be the right time to invest and definitely this is not too late to enter.

I believe that cannot be a good recommendation for most people here. Because trading and more particularly scalping cannot be as easier as it sounds; that definitely leads them losing all capital one day or another. But, investing with the bitcoin with the long-term plans definitely get them sure shot profits.

That place might be in trouble because Turkish authorities do not look kindly upon these things. USA could be better place to do this, Bernie Madoff went decades doing his bid and then he was sentence to a jail that was basically a vacation if I was there, he lived in more luxury in jail then I live in my house. So long story short USA looks kindly towards financial crimes, but when it comes to financial crimes in Turkey those people will do everything in their power to get every single ounce of dollar that company has, every coin, every bit of data, everything they have, chairs tables hell the carpet on the floor, and sell all to pay people back.

I am not saying it will be without a loss, of course there will be, but it just won't be fully gone neither, it will be something in the middle of it where a bit of it will be recovered for sure.

"Decentralized" , yeah right. China controls so much of the mining power in the world and that results with most of the hashes coming from them and being able to do something. Sure when miners want to change something that's not enough because all the transactions should be from miners and we know that it is not, there are tons of other people. Remember back in 2017 or something miners wanted us to not have Segwit and we still went with it and they created BCH to compete with Bitcoin and they failed miserably as you can see these days. Which means miners do not have that much power.

However if they want to they could play with the price, just close all the shops in china for one week and price of bitcoin will be under 40k and they can buy with all of their profits and then start back up and increase the price and it will profit them even more, that's horrible.

I am not a great investing strategist or anything like that, I have done just one thing and one thing only and that has always worked so far, obviously we are in a bull market but as long as any bear market is followed by a bull market this strategy always works (if it only crashes and never recovers it doesn't work).

The strategy is that we should buy coins small by small over period of a long time, this is called dollar cost average and shorten as DCA. In DCA let's say you have $1000, you do not go use and buy bitcoin with all of it, you end up using 50 dollars to buy bitcoin, the next day you buy another and the next day another, so you keep doing this for 20 days until the money is gone, you can do this even once a week, or even once a month, dividing your money into 20 and buy it once a day/week/month is a strategy. I have done it, and I am quite happy with the results.

Yeah, anyone who thinks bitcoin is a ponzi or a bubble would be kidding themselves. I mean think about it there is really nothing that would be even remotely close to that, these things do not just go up, bitcoin goes down a lot as well, it is finances. If you think something that constantly goes up is a bubble, what are we going to say about stock market? Have you seen how much it increased in the last 10 years? Even in the pandemic period?

There are so many stocks that went 2x even more during pandemic, look at amazon and tesla, they are ballooned up. Are they bubbles as well? If the whole stock market is a bubble that has been going on for over 100 years, then I think it is going to be fine for me that bitcoin is a bubble like that, because that bubble has been going on for over century so let bitcoin be over a century year old and I will be dead anyway.

I understand that chart reading would help people with these kinds of predictions but remember that not all charts are force of nature, even if you do a great chart that "should" show what should happen, it may fail because bitcoin is a crazy market, things do not really mean anything here. What chart could ever explain why there is a nearly 40 cent dogecoin (don't even know the latest price but seen 40 cent at highest myself)? There is zero chart that can explain that.

This is why I think charts are great on regular days, but when there is a huge type of wave going on that makes no sense at all people are making mistakes by reading charts since the movements do not act according to the charts. This is why read them, make them, but be careful while using them, it is not going to end up pretty in the end and you will be very sad that you relied on them alone.
