It was a worth it decision in the first place in my opinion, skipping the tradition and not being binded to that tradition is actually a really good thing to my eyes because that means that OP is a forward thinking individual that will definitely see success in life, I believe that he didn't deserve all that flak that he's got from that last post, you can't just call out someone so bad like you personally know them and if it's you in their place and you proceeded with the tradition you would probably be mad regretting it because the high of that event would probably start to fade in 2 days and then reality sets in.

Don't be too worried about your haters OP, at the least you've made a profit continuing that hodling, you're the one that's got the last laugh, remember that.

I think I've seen that one in my YouTube suggestions before, it seems to be a really good but I haven't got around watching this one. But basing on your topic, the thing that I can say about this is we've got a lot of science fiction stories out there that have talked about the merge of spirituality and science and there's not a lot of them that's talked about the merging in a positive way, at least from what I've read and watched, the closest thing that I can think of that talks in a positive way is the theme of Fullmetal Alchemist (manga) and the negative one is probably Warhammer 40k Universe.

Personally, I think that spirituality and bitcoin should be different or at least will only coexist and not mix together, and I don't think it's a good idea that there's people out there that's basically building a cult surrounding bitcoin, it's not a good image for bitcoin.

Don't get such a hard on for Trump guys, remember that he's a politician and a businessman, he's got a way with his words, you see how he didn't directly addressed bitcoin but mentioned it as a subtopic, a classic politician's tactic of getting out of the question without completely dismissing it. We all need to remember that no matter who we vote, the government is never the friend of bitcoin in the first place, ever in the span of bitcoin, the government will always find ways to antagonize bitcoin if not the people that are using it. Vote wisely and make sure that you're putting the right people in office to run your country.

Damn, this person really is something it seems that you've finally given up on this person and it's been awhile since I've seen you report loan defaulters which is good for you because you're one of the best out there and I think that it's just sad that some people are just too weak that they'll sell their dignity to a small amount of bitcoin, 0.06 isn't a lot! I guess it don't matter how much is the amount when you're planning to leave this forum anyway.

I don't follow much what these guys do anyway so if I'm being honest, I don't feel a thing about them getting the wrong calls because traders will do that from time to time and it just so happens that we're so used to them doing right trading that them losing their trades is such an unnatural occurence for us, it's just the reverse of being an amateur trader, you've got a lot of mistakes that you do but you're so surprised when you get a big win, see that? It's the same thing.

It's not my vibe to follow their calls because I've seen a lot of these before, fake traders and shitcoin influencers trying to promote some crypto or giving out signals that most of the time only benefits only them.

It's not the key but insight sharing or knowledge sharing is almost always a good thing no matter what job or craft it is, no man's an island right and that means that we can only build ourselves if we ask for help and answer the calls of those asking for help, it's a healthy cycle of human progression to share what you learn about something and others would take note of it, I mean look at this Trading Discussion board, if sharing wasn't an effective thing to help you trade better, there's not going to be a lot of people that are talking about their experiences here and sharing tips on trading.

Now that we've got the positives out of the way, it's important to remember that despite the abundance of information, it's still worth noting that there are people out there that's up to no good, generally sad and wants to get some other kind of feeling that will throw off the balance of information disseminated to other people, they're the ones that albeit difficult to avoid, would be easily thwarted by people that genuinely wants to help spread the knowledge to everyone.

I believe that the hype of that happened back in 2020 to 2022, a lot of scam and Ponzi schemes crypto games have populated the space at that time and it was also that time when Axie Infinity was hyped up, a lot of them has really banked on that hype and try to emulate their success but not a lot of them got close.

I still think that Game-Fi and Metaverse projects still have some potential but with the hype already gone and people moving on so fast, I think that whomever wants to get in this space again are risking a lot of things but it might be all worth it, a lot of investment usually don't grow in value in a really fast manner anyway, so you're risking waiting anyway, just invest on what you think is the right one.

And maybe you're right that it's probably a perfect moment or time to get into gamefi projects but always remember to risk what you can afford to lose, that applies to both developers and investors.

Futures aren't for newbies, you're throwing away your money if you don't know how to navigate that risky way of trading, good thing that you've come to your senses and you're able to go for the long-term. That's probably the worst thing that you've done, futures trading is already difficult when it's with bitcoin and you're doing it with altcoins? You've got some balls bro!

Don't use exchanges for long-term bitcoin storage because you're going to be regretting it when they get attacked by hackers and your funds get stolen, it's not recommended that you store your bitcoins on an exchange even if it's a decentralized one, you're better off using Electrum wallet or any cold wallets to store your bitcoin for the long-term.

I don't know much about Forex trading but if you're going to use the same strategy with cryptocurrency, I suggest that you don't do that because there's a big difference with cryptocurrency trading and forex trading, I think that forex is more stable than crypto and the candlesticks are going to be a little different in forex.

So if you're ever planning to use the strategies you employ or have learned in cryptocurrency trading, make sure that you're not going to be treating forex as cryptocurrency, there might be some general similarities that you might see in the strategies but you still need to keep in mind that they're a different market.

Also, it can be a good idea if you find a trading group that's specifically dealing with forex trading rather than asking things here, a bitcoin forum, they've got more knowledgeable people there but be careful which group you're joining as like any platform out there, scammers are on the loose.

What's the supposed benefit of knowing the location for their headquarters though? To me, this don't make any difference because if these AML organization finally digs the big fishes that's involve in a really big money laundering operations and I'm talking about politicians and influential people having their names on the list of the investigation, they're going to be immediately shut down. Most of these task force are only created to root out foreign operations and not the domestic ones.

As long as there's money to be had and people that have a soul that's easily bought by mere billions of Euros or dollar, money laundering will never see an end and the big operations are just going to be protected by the politicians and officials that have their interests in line with those operations and that they're benefiting from it directly.

Isn't Hajj a yearly celebration for Muslims? I believe it's where you do a pilgrimage to Mecca right? If so then I'll have to say to you that depending on where you live, you either be able to afford the trip for the Hajj or not. I think that if you're far from Mecca, it would be a good decision for you if you increase your DCA to $10 because you're going to have a hard time buying the tickets for a flight if it's only $3 a day, and bitcoin price is still uncertain as to whether it will go up or down so it might be a good idea to increase your investments or find another way to fund your trip so in the case that you're not going to profit from your bitcoin investment, you would still be able to do the pilgrimage.

Nice website to track your DCA and the prospect that you're getting out of your investments but I'd rather be someone that's doing DCA consistently but not monitoring it day by day, I feel like if I psychologically condition myself to not think about my investment, the temptation to spend them or sell them for a small profit is not going to be present, that way I can just fully focus on investing and nothing more.

I'm tempted to check on my hoard to see the fees but I'm having second thoughts doing so, might make me act up and spend a little, not going to be a good idea as that small spend is going to be a domino effect of small spending until I exhaust that hoard, I'll keep this website in my back pocket just in case.

My thoughts would be that of congratulatory because they've been hodling that much bitcoin and have been accumulating for a really long time already and I think that whatever they do, they deserve to have it and I just hope that I'm prepared financially with whatever their big liquidation creates.
I anticipate it to be something that's going to lower the price of bitcoin to a point that many of us would probably think is impossible to happen, like for example, they might break the price floor for bitcoin many times than we think is possible.
I don't think that MS is an individual, they're an investment company right? Which means that there's a board sitting on top of that company that's deciding how they should do things and how they should sell the bitcoin. If I have an early information about their decisions, I'd probably consider but when it hits the trading space and investment space, it's already too late for us outside of their circle.

Blue Wallet if you don't like it to be complicated but if you truly want to be safe then it's a good idea to download an Electrum wallet, either on your phone or in your computer. That's the safest one right now. Here's the link to them so you know that you're safe. There's other wallets out there but in my experience, they've delivered what I expected them to deliver so I don't use any other.

5 BTC all the way, what would I do with the 5.00 CGPA anyway? I already got a good paying job and so far it's all good for me and that amount if converted to the local currency, is a serious amount of money and I don't think that it's a good idea to be passing up if I were given that opportunity, you wanna know how hard it is to accumulate bitcoin with the exchange rate in my country? 0.1 is a pipe dream for many newbie and young crypto investors.

I wouldn't say mistake though, some people just don't really like the idea of risking in bitcoin, remember that bitcoin is a volatile investment, much more so than gold and real estate so it really does make a difference why some people still have some doubts. It's also worth noting that along the way in 10 years of hodling bitcoin, there's going to be times when you'll be tempted to sell because bitcoin despite it's volatile nature, growth can still be shown in years so you might not even be getting a full profit out of that in 10 years.

I assume that you're a Filipino and I got to tell you that that's not the biggest amount that I've seen that was lost by some gambler influencer, there's this businessman the goes by the name of BigboyCheng that plays blackjack and 100k is a peanuts to him and he plays 3 to 4 blackjack tables and can lose those tables most of the time. It's really crazy when you see these money being lost to gambling but for them, it's nothing really and that streamer's probably making more money than he's lost in that gamble.

Happened to me but I can't remember how many times and it's not mostly in betting but yes it does happen sometimes, I like to think that this is the way that gambling sites like to keep you around at the least, by having you win your last money but that's not how it works in betting though, that's entirely reliant on which team you choose and if the team you're choosing will be winning, netting you the money.

This only means that you've grown as a person now OP because you care more now about the money that you spend on gambling and you actually feel pained to see it go away because of the losses, that's financial maturity at first step with you being pained, I say that you embrace that and become a better person. If you're continuously feeling this then one thing that I can advise you is to quit gambling altogether, that's it.

Without the action of risking your money then you're not going to feel those pains of losing that money to gambling. Be careful though as you're going to be having problems with hindsight/regret too when you quit suddenly, the "I should've betted on that match" will linger in your brain but pay it no heed because it's talking about the past that you can turn back to.

Will definitely do that and that's why we need to keep the routine of buying more bitcoins so we're not going to be those suckers that will post in the future about "I sHoUlD'Ve bOuGhT BTCiTcOiN aT X pRiCe." The first instance of that story of regret should've made all of us get scared about the future of not investing in bitcoin but no, some of us really don't like the idea that the price is volatile and so their long-term mindset just completely vanishes like what's wrong with some of you people?
