First of all, the economists are not the ones that implement the rules. They just advise and give their own professional opinion, it's left to the people with real power to effect change.
I remember a certain time in my country when economic and financial bodies were stressing that we were heading into a recession at this rate, no nobody listened. The people in government just kept on with their daily lives as if nothing would happen. IMF even made warnings. They told the central bank many times to take caution but nobody listened till we went into recession.
So how do these economists stop economic meltdown when people don't listen to them or take them seriously?
Some climatologists have been singing about climate change for a long time but nobody takes them seriously. Would you blame them for the natural disasters and hazards we face because they refused to listen?

Another thing is Economics is not a pure science. The theories don't give the same result everywhere at all times.
Chorine turns litmus paper white anywhere, but an economic theory needs certain factors to give certain results.
An economic or financial theory or system that worked in an Urban area might not work in a rural area.

Exactly.
He should make up his mind. He's on the internet every other day making predictions for Bitcoin price. I like the man and genuinely have nothing against him however I think he should tone down on alm these predictions. It is very clear for the world to see that Bitcoin is going up, you know it, I know it, even those who want Bitcoin dead know it. Maybe he's making all these predictions to keep the minds of his shareholders are rest.

I know nothing about the exchange, but as we can see, that’s one of the reasons why we shouldn’t leave our coin on the exchange. Anything can happen to any exchange at any particular time, so leaving our coin there is really risky and dangerous. The exchange might not be popular, but even popular exchanges with good reputations and security are being hacked, so to be on the safer side, just get a non-custodial wallet and store your coin there. If the wallet is properly secured, then nothing will be wrong with your coin, and you will have total control of your coin, not that anyone will be controlling your coin.

Bitcoin is already a global payment network with or without PayPal. They are just salty because people can opt out of them as a payment method.

Besides, do any of you guys want your BTC to be limited because you're making transactions to people they don't like?

How about paying a $2000 transaction fee to PayPal as a "good behavior tax"?

it is always a matter of time mate,the problem is that people wanted easy money and that is also the reason why they keep losing and disappointed.
also why do we need to sek for easy target when we already knew how hard to gain here in this market unless you are willing to wait?
and talking about Future ,m that indicates the long term and not a 4 year cycle but the totality of time.

Nah, you're not lossing your personal data, but it will be shared and sold to anyone who's interested instead.
Most probably fraudsters and companies who's looking for a lead to sell their products are the ones interested in these personal data. Fraudster may use it to manipulate you or the others for their personal gain. Companies may use these information to find leads and potential sales.
These issue we are all aware of but tend to be overlooked as if it may not cause any trouble in the future, this explains why bounty hunters aren't afraid to put their personal info in the internet.

Beware of scammers

It has already been explained to you why your transaction did not go through and how you can fix it. If you have any further questions, please post them.

However, I would issue a warning here: If someone contacts you and offers to help you, check their profile and only let people who have a good reputation help you. Otherwise it can be that your counterpart wants to cheat you and demands e.g. payments from you. Do not go on it in any case and / or post such requests here in the thread to let it be checked by several people.

I was compelled to reply to your post due to many errors I found and I hope this corrects it.

Volatility, Liquidity and Market participation work hand-in-hand to define the condition at which the market moves. With low liquidity and market participation, the market could be very volatile and could also be manipulated as well, which is why we see some spikes and haphazard movements at times when the market is speedy. This could cause some unrest and whipsaws as well, conditions that are not good for trading. However, it's often difficult for the market to be manipulated when the liquidity and participation are high. This is when you see the market smoothly sailing towards a definitive trend without much of the dangerous moves.

Mind you, any market could experience high or thin liquidity, gold is not an exception, and when it comes to volatility in the market, gold is one of the assets on the high side, it's volatile.

That is a great summary for anybody that tries to buy the exact bottom in a bear market. I have tried it myself several times in the past and never succeeded, it just seems impossible to find the point in time when all the investor decide that the crisis is over and now it's time to buy again. It involves a lot of research and luck to make the right call and we should be asking ourselves if it's really going to be worth it. The longer we wait for prices to fall to the bottom, the higher the chances that we are going to miss out on the recovery. That is also why DCA became such an interesting method to use for our purchases. Buying fixed amounts of Bitcoin over a long period of time enables us to take advantage during longer bear markets and our average purchase price is still going to be good. I have been buying Bitcoin all throughout 2022 and stuck with the DCA method instead of making one large purchase at the bottom. The advantage is also that I have free money each month that I don’t spend from my salary which I than can invest in cryptos. Spreading out my purchases over a longer period of time takes out a lot of pressure from finding the optimal purchase price and I also don’t have to invest so much time on research.

It's not a new thing, they choose to make money from their youngsters instead of utilizing them to get trophies and they've been the strongest team in the Bundesliga and probably had got the title from Bayern Munich if they kept most of their players in the club over the years, all they do is scout young talented players get them for cheaper fee and develop them into future world class players then sell this players for a very huge fee top other top European clubs when they've Proven themselves.
 For instance imagine if they still had Sancho, Haaland, Jude Bellingham and several other top players they sold, i think the team would had been very tough for Bayern Munich to handle and such team would perform well in a Champions League competition but no Dortmund choose the Financial benefits from player sales over trophies.

Maybe consider this as good factor but it cannot tell everything we should know that to many altcoins listed on top exchange but still experiencing heavy downfall. So for that series of cases we need to vigilant especially if we want to hold and choose only the top coins since we can assure that they have more bigger potential to pump or may have a bull run. I also research and see how the token devs perform their duties since maybe we can gather an info if they already abandon their project or doesn't give any good updates to help their token.

I really believe that successful people are born from hard work, discipline and consistency. Don't worry too much about external things, but focus on improving your own skills.

In my opinion, there are actually four ways to build wealth to become rich.
1. Dreams (the dreamer) = dreams are the goal of our life, what is the current context, wealth, that is, you already have a dream of becoming rich.
2. Sever and investor (saving and investing) = saving and investing is a way to achieve our dream of becoming rich.
3. Company climber (job + position) = well, how do we want to earn money without working (honest, professional) and also if we don't save and invest, how can we achieve our dreams.
4. Vertuoso (skills) = well how can we get a job if we don't have skills, and how can we earn income without skills?

That's exactly the point, so IMO, no blame to cast here. As a teenager, you can get some pocket money from your parents, or you could even have some rich uncles and aunts that can give you anything you want as long as you just ask them for money, they can give you. Yeah, it is quite understood that teens do some sort of crazy stuff and cannot really take the blame for all. As a teen, you can decide to do anything with the pocket money you receive, whether you use it to buy some snacks, play video games, or gamble. The reason is that you are not yet old enough to be dependent on yourself or start making your own money. But for an adult, it does not make any sense to still be fully dependent while the person is not disabled. Perhaps the person is physically and mentally fit but just too lazy to work, make money, and use their money to do whatever they please.

Governments are not stupid, my friends. They know all the benefits of bitcoin for everyone, but for them, it is not beneficial for them. What they are building is a centralized system to control us all, whereas bitcoin is decentralized and gives us freedom. If you are a government, do you see any benefit here when your centralized system is threatened by a decentralized system? What they're doing to us makes us feel uncomfortable and wrong, but to them, they're protecting themselves.

^  It might be another September red candle or we're due for a green one.    We really can't tell with these things.  No matter how hard we try to make the right predictions, all we can really do is make the trade and hope we're right.  All we can really control is when and where to take our stop loss.

Anyway looks like the sentiment is split between sideways and up.  I'm on the same boat.  I think we're due for a leg up.

In normal circumstances you are right, because I have never seen any other cryptocurrency that get accelerate without the help of Bitcoin getting increase before any of them, so when Bitcoin get increased other coins follows the same methods of Bitcoin to be accelerated, that is while I do encourage people to make sure in any of their cryptocurrency investment they should make sure they have research in the coin before investing because when a coin lack's potential the increment will end immediately Bitcoin is experiencing bearish and theirs every tendency that the coin might die off on the process.

That's the point, those who invest do believe so much on those experts predictions and they follow it in making their own decisions.
It works for them but I believe that they have lost 85% of their investment because rely on predictions. I don't believe that what's happening to bitcoin price (the dip) was predicted before it happened, I'm not saying that experts don't get it right at times but we shouldn't pour our eggs in one basket.

Yes, what we heard is true, nobody knows who exactly is the real Satoshi. But since BTC was created and became popular, there have been debates on who exactly is Satoshi, and because of that we get:
1) People who tell lies and claim that they are Satoshi, like Craig Wright.
2) People who are falsely accused of being Satoshi, and they have denied it, like Dorian Nakamoto.

Unfortunately for Dorian Nakamoto, he fell under the second category and really went through a lot, because his privacy was exposed and he was harassed constantly with questions and interviews, even after he had denied being the creator of BTC. Because of this, in 2014 Andreas Antonopoulos organized a fundraiser to say 'sorry' to Dorian for all he went through, and the BTC community donated a lot of money to him.

Exactly, and it totally depends on someone's luck because finding and investing in meme coins that then might become very popular due to community or celebrity hype is basically the reason why meme coins become famous and gain so much value. We say that gambling is purely based on luck, so investing in a meme coin is basically gambling, if you are lucky, you might get something on top of your investment, otherwise, you will lose whatever you've invested.

I don't find meme coins to be worthy of any investments because they are not real cryptocurrencies, and trading is not gambling, if someone wants to gamble, they can go to a gambling platform, choose a game and gamble their money there and they might get something out of that. When you enter the market, you ought to do proper trading by buying and selling proper cryptocurrencies.

If you want to receive a low-risk income you can buy treasury bills or government bonds from reliable countries, which will give you an interest, which we can consider passive income, but which does not actually beat inflation, so you are actually losing money.

If you want to beat inflation, the investment is going to have more risk, and the higher the potential return, the higher the risk.

You have been given some advice in the thread. What I would recommend is to buy bitcoin now and start selling partially when the price breaks the ATH of $69K and when it breaks $100K or close to it. You can make a 3 or 4X in a short time, which is not exactly passive income, which is usually understood as receiving a periodic income, monthly for example, but it is quite passive and a fairly safe bet.

Although I recommend that you never sell all your bitcoin.
