Shafique and Masood are looking good as they are batting well. A partnership in the making and if they bat in the same manner the trail will get shorter. Nathan Lyon has been brought back, he is the only bowler in Australian team who has taken a wicket. He has been ineffective against both these batters.

Thank you all for yet another fantastic week and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone in this campaign

I doubt that being in bitcoin for 4-5 years or more helps you to know better when the BTC price will move, but it helps you to figure out at what prices that you might buy, if you had started to slow down in your BTC accumulation, then you may stop DCA and ONLY accumulate on dips or during BIG dips.. but you are likely mostly informed by a sense of already having more BTC.. and perhaps even getting to a point in which you feel that you have enough BTC relative to other assets that you also have.    Your choices are likely not even going to end up being correct, but you are in a better position to have more options after you spent some time accumulating bitcoin (and also more likely to have your currently held BTC in profits) versus the person who might be in his first year or two of BTC accumulation, but some people still might not end up doing the right thing because they might be trying to keep their average cost per BTC down, and then they end up being too whimpy in their BTC accumulation, merely resting on their having had accumulated BTC at lower prices and at earlier times.  There sometimes can develop feeling of futility if you accumulated 4-5 BTC over the past 4-5 years, but at that same accumulation rate, you may well ONLY be able to accumulate 0.5 to 1 BTC over the next 10 years, so there could be some questions regarding if it is a good idea to continue to accumulate BTC, and no one can really decide for that person who is weighing his own particulars in order to figure out whether 4-5 BTC is enough and how much better would it be to have 5-6 BTC, even if it could take another 5-10 years to accomplish such additional BTC accumulation.

I agree.

DCA saves time and headache but more important, it is more effectively than trading and other investment methods if you take your health benefit into consideration.

The tour match was started from a long time and at this time, we cannot say which team will win but maybe I think that the Afghanistan team will win because UAE's batting is not like something to worry about and they cannot face the bowlers of Afghanistan like Abdul Rahman and many more, Rashid Khan and Fazal al Farooqi and Naveen Ul Haq didn't play this match. In this match, they gave a chance to youngsters to perform a particular performance.
Hashmatullah Shahidi is the captain of the team, and by the way, this is the only match that plays at Christmas.

I think that my point is to make sure that you do your own calculations, and sure there could be some reliance that the amount invested and the amount of BTC accumulated during that period of time would be in the ballpark of being correct,,,

I think that my point is to make sure that you do your own calculations, and sure there could be some reliance that the amount invested and the amount of BTC accumulated during that period of time would be in the ballpark of being correct, but once you have those numbers, you have enough information to figure out how much you would have had invested at the chosen rate versus how much your BTC would currently be worth, and so at least currently we might be closer to having similar numbers, even though probably you could go through your original list and then make an update for each of the amounts, which would likely end up changing some aspects of your theory about DCA buying into BTC, which sometimes the results can be quite ambiguous in a time period that is less than 4 years,

however once we get to 4 years or more, there seems to be a tendency that the longer that you have been investing into BTC then the better off that you are, even if there might be some BTC price peaks in some of the years that might cause the percentages to not be very different between some of the adjacent years, even though still the overall idea of the longer that you have been in the more likely the better off that you would have been by DCAing into bitcoin as compared to other possible methods, even though surely if you see prices after the fact, you still can make arguments that you might have had been able to figure out how to buy at lower prices. which seems mostly a fantasy, unless you had actually been able to do it, which also might have had been more luck than anything meaningfully undermining how DCA has tended to be a quite solid practice for allowing folks to be as aggressive as they are able to in regards to BTC accumulation and still likely being able to accumulate more BTC, even if it might have had costed them more than other strategies, but there also is likely some value to the fact that they had been able to consistently and persistent accumulate BTC over the years, and there is no real sign that DCA is becoming a less valuable strategy, especially when it comes to longer term BTC accumulation over 4-10 years or longer. 

Professional teams never underestimate any team. You say New Zealand didn't field their best XI in 3rd ODI against Bangladesh but those who got chance to play against Bangladesh are all top players so if you now say Bangladesh won but that win was not against a good team then it will be wrong. Regardless of the players, you have to see how Bangladesh performed in the third ODI match. If we talk about the second ODI match, but Bangladesh did not perform badly at all but Bangladesh could not bowl controlled in the end due to which Bangladesh lost the second ODI match. Judging by the way Bangladesh finished the World Cup, they did well enough in the New Zealand series. After losing the first two matches, we assumed that New Zealand would win the third match as well, but Bangladesh turned around in the third match, so we must congratulate Bangladesh.

2 big tests incoming. Pakistan will look to take revenge in the second test against Australia on their home turf though their chances don't really look good. On the other hand, South Africa and India will kick off their test series.

Truly sucks that all of these teams need to play during the Christmas - New Year week which is the biggest festive week of the year.

The idea of the importance of SA is stupid, especially when it comes to long term investment, and sure we are talking about buying on dips too.. so sure, sometimes we might want to consider what is a sufficient dip to buy and how much BTC to buy at each dipping point, which is difficult to determine, and still I doubt that SA is going to be very helpful, even though sure people do use that kind of nonsense, which sometimes means going with the sentiment and other times going against it.. but still seems like a BIG waste of time to playing with those kinds of nonsensical measures to guide what to do or what not to do... which then leads you to the conclusion of DCA'ing, which does seem to be the right outcome, but still SA that is a dumb thing to try to use or even to think about as a meaningful guide for action... but it does sound like one of tools of traders and shitcoiners.

 

Your numbers are wrong and with that dcabtc.com website you need to manually calculate your level of profits, so let me show you with the 3 year period.

So yes, you are correct that $100 per week would result in right around $15,700 invested over three years, and that would also result in about 0.5518 BTC (which today has a market value of about $24,280 (which is an average cost per BTC of about $28,452 ($15,700/0.5518) and a profit amount of about 55% ($24,280/$15,700)).  Your table shows losses of nearly 9%.. which surely is not correct, and perhaps some error of the site because the amount accumulated would end up being 0.5518 over 3 years which is truly profitable by 55% and not a 9% loss. You can recalculate for each of the time periods and come up with differing results, but the trend is generally that every period is currently up, and the longer that you have been in then probably the greater your actual profits, even though the percentages might vary along the way, and I don't necessarily feel like going through each of those calculations myself to show the correct results, but I do use that DCAbtc.com website on a regular basis, and I have found that I have to perform some of the calculations manually in order to get the correct results.  There are some other DCA calculating websites out there too.. such as https://dcacryptocalculator.com/bitcoin  and https://costavg.com/

The Australian team managed to take the lead. Australia managed to collect 200 runs losing only three wickets. And now they are leading by 13 runs. Tahlia McGrath is batting very responsibly. He collected 70 runs from 167 balls. And Healy collected 22 runs from 72 balls. If these two batsmen survive at the crease, I think Australia can give a target of 200. If Australia can score 400+ in the second innings, they have more chances to win. But if the target is like 120-150 then India will win. We got to see very good batting from the Indian batsmen in the first innings.

I was thinking that hardly the Indian women team will reach to 350 runs but Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma both bowlers pull the score above 400. Pooja Vastrakar Also collected 4 wickets in first innings.
And now Australian women team is playing. They have lost 3 wickets on 142 runs they have trial of 45 runs. I think Australia will give almost 150 runs lead to India and I hope that India will chase that target easily. India needs to collect more wickets if they want to win this match.

Although New Zealand won the series, this win was very important for the Bangladesh team. If Bangladesh did not win today's match, Bangladesh would have been whitewashed by New Zealand. I never imagined that Bangladesh will perform so well in today's match. It is unimaginable to bowl out a strong team like New Zealand for 98 runs at their own ground. But my best wishes to Bangladesh team to win today's match very nicely.

I think everyone who invests in Bitcoin definitely has time to organize their purchases and why DCA is so popular because they invest in the long term with hundreds of purchases throughout their investment journey. Of course DCA is the best and maybe buying at the same time is not too popular if the market situation is bullish. Apart from that, at a special level, continuing to pay attention to the charts is of course not something that everyone can do because they don't have much time due to their busy work, therefore those who focus on DCA will visit the market when their purchases are due and they do it like once every two months or once a month.

And it is true as stated by JJG because in point 8 where we can change our formation when the market situation changes suddenly, that is, we make purchases before the time comes in the composition of the list of purchases that we will make. It all depends on the situation because they can act more aggressively when the market turns red and can also accumulate more when the market falls 10%.

op I agree with you because when the South African batsmen batted I felt they would easily win the third ODI against India. When these two South African batsmen Markeram and Klaasen batted maybe I thought they would take the South African to the brink of victory with a good partnership. South Africa's Markeram and Klaasen, after the dismissal of these two batsmen, no other batsman could score such a good run. India finally won against South Africa by 78 runs with their excellent bowling. Congratulations to Team India.

I personally think that number 8 can deal with a lot of things in terms of how much time anyone has to be able to spend on bitcoin and learning, and if you do not have a lot of time, then you need to attempt to maintain a less aggressive and maybe even a more passive strategy, and DCA works pretty well for someone who does not have a lot of time to study into bitcoin or even to study into various kinds of strategies to monitor if the BTC price is going to go up or down.

In this match 297 target is not a big target for the South African team. I think if they have wickets they will definitely win. South Africa have some batsmen who can play devastating. But they are not guaranteed. It is difficult to compare them because when they play well there beyond any competitors again when they can not perform it seems they are not worthy to play in any competitive match. According to the position it is still difficult to speculate about the status of today's match. South Africa trying to play defensively after the fall of two wickets. They need big partnerships at this point.

If you understand the investment in this way, maybe the newbies can clearly understand and learn about the investment.

Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad used 2 balls and able to made 4 runs. Sai Sudharsan made 62 runs and used 83 balls. Tilak Varma made 10 runs and used 30 balls. The captain KL Rahul made 56 runs and used 64 balls. Sanju Samson made 12 runs and he used 23 balls. Rinku Singh made 17 runs in 14 balls. Axar Patel made 7 runs in 23 balls. Kuldeep Yadav made 1 runs in 5 balls. Arshdeep Singh used 17 balls and he made 18 runs. Avesh Khan made 9 runs and he used 9 balls. Mukesh Kumar made 9 balls in 4 runs.

Short summary is that India's batsmen did not bat well and they were all out at 211 in 46.2 overs. There was no way, India could win this match unless they also bowled out South Africa, but it did not happen. South Africa achieved the target by losing only two wickets.

I would hope that it would be approved one day due to its importance as you said, however I think that there is an agenda that we are unaware of, that may be limiting the privacy-focused aspects of Bitcoin from being kept alive. I feel like there is a war going on against privacy and anonymity, and Bitcoin is right in the middle of it. I hope that privacy prevails.
