Unpredictable, but bitcoin and altcoins could go up at the end of the year, but it might still take some time for bitcoin to reach old ATH or even new ATH. It is very difficult to know which altcoin will be higher because it depends on how much support people have. Maybe we'll see the pump and dump that will happen to some altcoins, but we'd better wait. Or perhaps an altcoin that has a low price could be the one that will go higher later.

Don't forget to learn to make money because by learning that, you can have the opportunity to make money. It may not be as fast as you think to make money, but if you do it consistently, sooner or later, you will start making money sooner or later. And if you can keep learning and trying, it will give you a bigger chance to make money.

If you want to grow your money, you can use investments where you expect to make a decent return over time. But you have to be careful in choosing the type of investment because there are so many types.

This is no doubt. If gambling sites cannot prioritize the security of their websites, they will be hacked, either by hackers or irresponsible members, because they know they can exploit some loopholes. The big gambling sites will always update their security systems so that people can not use the vulnerabilities, and their sites can always be safe, although that doesn't mean it's 100% safe. That's the point if the websites have a security team who will always make sure everything is under their control.

Maybe it can provoke them to try gambling once or twice because the experience and excitement will be different when playing online gambling. And they should have good self-control so that they don't spend too much money playing gambling. They must remember that their goal is to take a vacation and not gamble, which could cost them more money. Not to mention if they experience a loss and want to recover from their previous losses because it will make them take more money to recover their losses. That is why you need to allocate an amount of money that you will use for gambling so that it will not interfere with the allocation of money for other things while you are on vacation.

If @OP's friend wants a profit on his investment, he should wait until the price can go up high and sell it at that point for a profit. But that meant he had to be prepared not to make a profit every day. That's why I said to learn trading analysis so that he can make a profit so that he invests and trades to help him make a profit. If he can study well, he can benefit because he knows when to trade, and I'm sure the profit is also good enough to fulfil his daily needs.

It is possible to do that, but if it is to fulfil his daily needs, he needs to learn to analyze the ups and downs of the market so that he can buy and sell bitcoins for profit. From that profit, he can fulfil his daily needs, and if he is more proficient in analyzing the market, he will be able to get more profits. It's just a matter of time before your friend can benefit, and it depends on how he learns. Maybe you can also study with your friend so that you and he can share each other's experiences to improve your abilities.

If it were easy to do, many people would become millionaires in the short term because they could easily choose their altcoins. But it turns out that it will never be that easy because each altcoin takes time to start improving.

But if you can analyze the individual coins, you will find them even though it's not easy to find them. Maybe choosing ETH, BNB, ADA, Matic or others can give you high profits, but it will depend on the results of your analysis. We can only try to analyze it, which is up to the market.

What you say is true because so far, having the latest technology can provide a new experience that has never existed. This triggers the designers to compete to make something different from before so that it will also make people curious to try it. Today's games have reached a different level from the previous generation, especially using the latest technology. It also provides a different gaming experience.

What needs to be done now is to build infrastructure that can support metaverse technology to run well. And yes, it's not easy because it takes a lot of money and resources to have something new for us.

We can control the mind to restrain ourselves from using more money in gambling, depending on whether we can do it or use more money. If you don't want to see more losses, that's the way to go, and you should be able to do it. It might seem difficult at first, but believe me, it's worth trying because by continuing to practice it, you will be able to stop spending more money on gambling. It will be very painful if we experience many defeats.

Having expenses for vacations or allocating some money when travelling is important so that we don't go out of the vacation plans that we have made. And if you want to visit the casino, you have to prepare more money to use for gambling so it doesn't interfere with your holiday activities, and of course, the money you use to gamble should not be excessive. While on vacation, we must use our time as efficiently as possible so that we can really enjoy our vacation instead of spending time gambling. We can also play gambling again after we get home so it won't interfere with other things.

I don't know if I should try the exchange he made or stay with Binance, but for sure, I will still use Binance even though Binance requires verification for member accounts. I have no problem with that. Moreover, I verified it a long time ago.

I'll probably wait for judgment from people who've used the exchange, and after that, I'll consider trying it out later. I have no problem verifying on a centralized exchange but on the condition that the exchange can really maintain customer data properly.

It will depend on how much money you want to invest in bitcoin and how long you want to do DCA.

Example:
You use $1000 to invest in bitcoin and want to use a DCA strategy which means you buy every time there is a decrease in the price of bitcoin. So from $20000 to $15000, you have a target price to buy bitcoins but unfortunately, we don't know if the price will drop to $15000.

Most people buy bitcoins but not based on calculations and just randomly. But maybe you're better off using the DCA strategy for every month.

Example:
This month you buy as much as $ 200. The next month buys as much as $ 200 and so on until 5 months or even 1 year later.

Actually, this depends on the strategy you want to use because it also relates to your readiness to know when to buy bitcoin. It will depend on how much money you want to invest in bitcoin and how long you want to do DCA.

You use $1000 to invest in bitcoin and want to use a DCA strategy which means you buy every time there is a decrease in the price of bitcoin. So from $20000 to $15000, you have a target price to buy bitcoins but unfortunately, we don't know if the price will drop to $15000 or not.

This depends on the strategy you want to use because it also relates to your readiness to know when to buy bitcoin.

And if you lose, it can change all the plans you have made during your vacation, and yes, it will reduce the amount of money you carry unless you really prepare some money to use for gambling. We never know what we will face at the casino, whether to win or lose, and if we lose, we will regret coming to the casino. But maybe some have already included plans to visit the casino during their vacation and have prepared everything so it won't interfere with their vacation time.

Yes, that's true because this new technology may still have hidden potential so we think this is the final form of the Metaverse. And if the team can work hard to turn it into a worthy project to be an investment, I think it will be able to attract investors so that they can have another chance to make a profit. For now, we can only see how far the team has worked and their next plans because each project must have plans to achieve in the future.

You are right because by winning often, our minds will say that this time is also our time to win, so we continue to play until we lose track of time. But often, the results can differ from what we want because luck doesn't always come twice after a big win. Using a large bankroll also does not guarantee that we can win because luck is not always on our side.

That means we don't use any strategy and don't set up automatic bets, and maybe pick the ones we think will have a chance of winning. But if we play manually, we might be able to apply different strategies, and I think every gambler should find a strategy that works well for them. And it's not easy to get because we will probably try them one by one until we find the one that suits us. And we must think about how much money we put into trying it.

I only see the potential profit I can get from the increased price of ethereum, but that is not enough to get even higher increases. Other than that, it's just a good start for ethereum, as it can improve once the merge is implemented. And in the future, I think the price can increase higher than now, especially if the price of bitcoin can also experience a drastic increase. And if you want to make a profit, you can sell some ethereum and enjoy the profit because right now, maybe the correction will come for a while. So be wise in dealing with it.

Maybe, for now, Metaverse still looks stuck in place because the team is still in the development stage to make Metaverse even better, and it still needs a fair amount of time to see if it can be as desired. Maybe 3 years or less or even more to see if Metaverse can be what they want, especially if we look at the initial appearance and the tools used by Metaverse are still expensive. Maybe only people who have money can try to use it while others are still waiting.

What we have to do is understand that gambling is not a good way to make money because there are losses that will await us as long as we play. You'll be fine if you can control yourself when you gamble and don't overspend, especially when you lose. But the truth is, more people spend more money trying to recover from their losses. This will slowly make them addicted to gambling, and over time, they will become addicted to gambling. If they have experienced this problem, they will not be able to leave gambling easily.

I guess that is a problem for everyone who wants to trade or start investing. Before someone starts, they should be able to find more information related to crypto and it will depend on their creativity to find crypto news. If he can get more information, it will help him know what to do and make decisions at the right time. He can also avoid scams that often occur in crypto.

And if you have found valid information, you must practice it so your abilities can develop better. It will also help you to be able to profit in trading and investing because you can find the right coin to start with.

What @OP did helped him find a lot of relevant information but it's not necessarily useful for others. And this is why everyone must be able to find their own way of finding the news.
