641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop discouraging Newbies from Bitcoin... on: October 13, 2023, 02:59:34 AM

I think I’ll reiterate this popular opinion: Bitcoin trading isn’t for newbies.
It’s always best to learn from someone’s mistakes so when  the majority of opinions from other members recommends gaining more knowledge and experience, the last thing you should feel is discouraged.
It is not that bitcoin trading is not for newbies, the thing is that newbies should not rush into trading because of how complex and complicated bitcoin trading can be for newbies. If newbies wants to go into trading it is better for them to take their time and learn to understand it and never to rush to trade with huge amount.  I think newbies starting with a small fraction of capital will be better because this will be an experience that will help them as they proceed in trading . The truth is that  as trading is concerned everyone needs experience,  so it is needful for newbies to learn learn first and not to rush starting with a big capital to trade,  small capital will be better that one can afford to lose.

I also admit that trading is not for newbies as it will cause them more losses than profits. But I think there is nothing wrong with what OP said, I think instead we should not say that they should stay away from trading. Why don't we tell them to start with the minimum amount to avoid big losses. Because no matter how long you have been in the market or how much knowledge you have, without trading experience you will always be new to trading. Only when we participate in trading and gain experience from it can we become a professional trader. Everyone has a beginning and no one can become a professional trader with a lot of knowledge but no practical experience.


I agree with your views and opinions. Instead of always advising newbies to stay away from trading, we should advise them to start with the smallest capital to avoid serious losses. Because we will always be newbies if we do not experience it, whether it is trading or investing. Even if we are long-time holders, when we start trading, we are a newbie. So let the newbies start with what they want, and we just need to remind them to start with minimal capital. We shouldn't be harsh when giving advice as if we're pushing them away like the OP is thinking.

When talking about the future, no one can be sure what will happen, history may or may not repeat itself. Therefore, in investing, what we need to do is prepare for every possible situation. Optimism is essential for our investment portfolio but we should not be subjective and always have a backup plan. Although I have been lucky enough to experience 2 bull seasons, I cannot guarantee that things will repeat this time and what I am doing is preparing a plan for both bullish and non-bullish scenarios for bitcoin.

Everyone knows that bitcoin is unpredictable, just like no one thought that bitcoin could go from $1 to $69k, so don't make any statements about bitcoin. I'm optimistic about the next bull run, maybe btc won't reach $500k but $200k is possible. The $100k goal is a nice number so everyone talks about it but this is too easy a goal for bitcoin to achieve.

I'll be honest that I'm not sure about $500k being the new ATH of the next bull run, but $100k is more likely to be expected. The price of bitcoin could surpass $100k if the demand and FOMO are really big, but it has to be supported by something big too. Poor economic conditions as well as inflation could likely have a positive impact on increasing bitcoin demand, but I don't expect that $500k to become a reality in the next 2 years.

The halving and spot bitcoin ETF approval could drive bitcoin prices higher, but my current target is no more than $150k as the next high as a new ATH. The target may or may not be right, so it is not a condition that must be achieved.

Yes, Bitcoin will reach $500k if its demand continues to grow but that will not happen during the next bull season or in the near future. Each person will have their own goals, and no one is right or wrong until everything happens, so let's be steadfast with our own goals.

But I don't think like you that inflation will benefit bitcoin. Like what we are going through, inflation, panic are attacking us and bitcoin is also being affected negatively instead of positively as you said. I expect the world economy to recover soon as well, which could fuel a strong bull season for us.

I will actually say that Sevilla is not performing as they should be. And they can definitely perform better than what they are doing. I am talking about the La Liga competition. That's because I do not expect too much from them in the Champions League to be honest. And just because they were able to win the Europa League competition with the same team, does not mean that they are going to perform well consistently throughout the whole season with the same team.

By the way, they did not play well in La Liga in the last season. The thing is they were able to win that Europa League competition in the last season. In this season, they will be lucky to win anything. And I don't think they are going to win anything this season, to be honest.
Everyone knows Sevilla's strength lies only in the Europa, they won't perform well in their group and fail to qualify for the next round and drop to the Europa recover their form, reach the finals and win the trophy, it's been reoccurring like that for years now so I won't be suprised if Sevilla wins the Europa League title Again this season.

 However their performance in their league is not very okay cause they've been underperforming and need to sit up cause they're currently in the 14th place and wouldn't have to drop more points else they may risk moving into the relegation zone their next 2 matches would be very tough and I doubt if they'll win any, one against Realmadrid in the Laliga and the next in the UCL against Arsenal.

Two wins in eight matches that have been played so far is definitely not a good performance from them. And the thing that nobody actually understands is, they are actually capable of performing well. But they somehow cannot show that good performance. They never seem to live up to the expectations of people. And in recent times, they have been underperforming like crazy.

They have just changed their coach. Let's see if this is something that will help them or not. I do not want to comment about how the coach is going to do it because I want to see a few matches from him first.

Quote from: jasonjm
Everyone in the world is predicting the BTC price in the next bull run, but I tell you that no one can predict the market price with absolute certainty. There are predictions that BTC might touch $500,000 in the next bull run (extremely optimistic). Some are saying that price might be somewhere around $150k to $200k. I am of the opinion that that price might not cross $100,000 in this bull cycle (2024/2025), and we have to wait for another few years to see such highs.

Yes, there will be a great bull run that will make the price of Bitcoin to increase higher but it will not reach $200,000 and you can use the current price in the market to determine the future of the next bull run. I believe the price will hit $100,000 next year ending for those that invested in Bitcoin and other potential coins to begin to earn something good from their investment that will make them to invest in that particular coins when the price is down again in the market. Based on the long bearish investors are experiencing from the market show that the next bullish will run like two years to allow both long term holders and short term holders to benefit massively from their investment.

On what basis do you say the bull season will last 2 years? Even bitcoin's ATH we can't predict, don't make other meaningless predictions, there has never been a bull market in the past 2 years.
646  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Price Increasing? on: October 12, 2023, 09:55:06 AM
My prediction is that there will still be some correction and the price could return to $25k before the halving, but I also disagree with the idea of selling now and waiting to buy back when the price drops. After all, we are all just making predictions and nothing is certain because we all know bitcoin is unpredictable.

I believe we have bottomed out for this bear and the halving is approaching so we won't have another big drop. So buying bitcoin at $28k or $30k or $25k won't make much of a difference if our goal is to only sell when bitcoin makes a new ATH. Don't trade too much risk for a little profit, think about what will happen if we sell now and the price doesn't drop as we expected?

I agree with your observation about the market. There can be a small correction before the halving which can take us to the 25k level again. This correction won't be significant so selling at this level and buying back when there is a dip won't make much difference. However there isn't any guarantee that there will be a dip before halving. If our prediction proves invalid we will miss the chance to buy at this level either.

You might see a difference when you sell at $27k and then buy back when it dips around $25k, only if you have huge amount of bitcoin being sold and that means when the price dips, a huge amount of bitcoin can be added to your holding when you buy back. However, the risk associated with such strategy is very high considering that we are approaching the next bitcoin halving. If bitcoin won't come down at the $25k level again, you'll gonna end up not being able to maximize the opportunity to make good profit for the most anticipated bullrun next year.
It's not gonna be a good strategy for someone who is DCAing, as the goal for it is to hodl as much as you can and wait for bitcoin to hit that specific target.

Unless you're investing millions, there's a pretty clear difference between buying for $25k and buying for $27k, but if we only have a few thousand then I don't think it's worth the risk. To put it bluntly, it's a really bad idea as bear season is ending and the halving is approaching. Instead, why don't we work or look for other sources of capital to accumulate more bitcoin instead of with the intention of selling and buying back?
If increasing the amount of bitcoin simply by buying low and selling high could be done so easily, then the DCA strategy would be useless?

Don't forget that Sevilla won last season's Europa League title with this squad. So I can't accept that their squad is weak. The squad is strong enough. But Sevilla should be looking to strengthen their squad after last season's Europa League champions. But now the Sevilla team is not in a good financial  condition. So they failed to strengthen their squad. However, the squad that Sevilla still have is quite strong. At least not Sevilla's squad, which is weak enough to finish 14th in the table. If  not for the tactical weakness, this team could have easily finished in the top 8 of the table.
I can admit that Sevilla is still in good condition but it just that maybe in the Champions League match Sevilla still needs a strategy to be able to achieve what they want, such as competing always with strong performance until the final round but it all very difficult because in the Champions League there are so many The club is very strong and has very good strategic experience so playing in the Champions League I have a little doubt about Sevilla.
But for matches in the domestic league, I still believe that Sevilla will end up in the best position to still get a ticket to the European League next season even though they failed in the Champions League but it looks like Sevilla will fight for the European League Cup again and we will see a strong performance from Sevilla when it comes to the end next season.

I will actually say that Sevilla is not performing as they should be. And they can definitely perform better than what they are doing. I am talking about the La Liga competition. That's because I do not expect too much from them in the Champions League to be honest. And just because they were able to win the Europa League competition with the same team, does not mean that they are going to perform well consistently throughout the whole season with the same team.

By the way, they did not play well in La Liga in the last season. The thing is they were able to win that Europa League competition in the last season. In this season, they will be lucky to win anything. And I don't think they are going to win anything this season, to be honest.

When the match week arrives, I think there will be one match that everyone will be looking forward to as much as I am, and that is the result of Milan vs Juventus. Milan has started really well this year and there is an important obstacle for them to continue this good start. This obstacle is not an easy one. Milan, which continues to lead the league with 7 wins in 8 matches, will want to win this match and continue its leadership. We can say that it won't be an easy match for both teams, but I think Juventus is the more advantageous team, even if we think that they don't have the advantage. The reason is that Milan will travel to PSG 3 days after this match. We can think that Juventus will focus more on the match because it is not a European Cup match. Considering that Milan has 2 draws in the champions league group, they will have to focus more on the PSG match if they want to get out of the group.
This match will be an interesting match and I can't say which club will win the match, because none of these clubs should be underestimated with their performance. As we all know Milan is topping the table and they have shown how strong that they are this season by losing only to Inter. This makes it difficult for Juventus to win them even though, Milan will play in the Champions league before clashing with Juventus.
On the other hand Juventus is also strong and will do everything possible to take advantage of the match, if Milan performance is been affected in the champions league. I just hope to see who wins on that day.
Even though Milan are the favorites, it must be remembered that Juventus only play in the league. What I mean is that Juventus have no Champions League games to play and since they are comfortable with that, they will field their players fully. Milan will probably rotate and rest some players, of course we will find out on match day. It is difficult to predict who will win or what exactly will happen in the match because teams send players to the national teams and maybe they will get injured there. Since this is all a possibility, we will know exactly on the day of the match when the squads are finalized.

AC Milan and Inter Milan are performing in the Champions League. However, the performance of these two teams in serie A is very good. On the other hand, Juventus team is not playing in Champions League or Europa League this season. Their only aim is to do well in serie a. However, Juventus' performance in Serie A has been erratic.

AC Milan's main goal is to do well in serie A. Milan seems less interested in Champions League matches. So Milan's main goal in the home match against Juventus will be to get full points. They will try their best to win this match and retain the top spot in the points table.

350 is enough, Nah at least 450 cause the batting depth of India is way down the order and everyone is great form since Asia cup so no matter how much Afghanistan scored it won't be enough compared to team India.

But I really appreciate the effort of AFG batting lineup today because they at least put up a decent total against team like India and few batsmen scored good runs too but the track suited for hitman batting style and he took away the match in the first 10 or 15 overs itself with the way he batted and no bowler gave any threat at all.
350 would have been difficult for India. Shubman Gill is out as a result of dengue fever, and the openers are not scoring enough runs for India (especially Ishan Kishan, as Rohit Sharma scored 131 against Afghanistan today). Then there is weakness in the middle order, with KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya not being consistent with the bat. BTW, Naveen-ul-Haq was the most economical bowler for Afghanistan today, going for 5-0-31-0. Almost everyone else went for more than 8 runs per over. The two opening bowlers (Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman) were terribly expensive. 

Today's pitch was not conducive to batting. But the performance of the Indian batsmen seems to be a pitch that is completely conducive to batting. India batted very responsibly. Since the target was not very big. So the Indian batsmen were not under any pressure today. Then Rohit Sharma's innings of 131 runs put India completely in control of the match. And at the same time the Afghanistan bowlers lost confidence. As the pitch was in condition, the spin bowlers should have had a huge advantage. But today there is no better performance than the spin bowlers of Afghanistan. India cruised to an easy win with 90 balls and 8 wickets to spare.

New Zealand Set a big target of 322 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs. Will Young played an outstanding 70 runs innings in 80 balls against the Netherlands. New Zealand added 60 runs in the total from last 5 overs. New Zealand from captain Tom Latham to help New Zealand reach 300 plus total he scored 53 runs in just 46 balls. Netherlands bowlers Roelof van der Merwe picked 2 wickets by giving 56 runs in 9 overs, Paul van Meekeren also picked 2 wickets by giving 60 runs and Aryan Dutt picked up 2 important wicktes by giving 62 runs in 10 overs.
Today the game of Netherlands against New Zealand was not the equal match,but it was the good opportunity for the team Netherland to improve before the Semi finals.Since Netherland had the capacity to take seven big wickets of the New Zealand,they was not the unequal match today.The three hundred run was not the easy one to score in the 50 over match.
Another big win for New Zealand win by 99 runs against Netherlands. Its a another big defeat for Netherlands. Amazing bowling performance by Mitchell Santner picked up 5 important wicktes by giving 59 runs in 10 overs and Henry picked 3 wickets by giving 40 runs in 8.3 Overs. Colin Ackermann was the only Ireland better to show some fight scored 69 runs in 73 balls and Scott Edwards scored 30 runs in 27 balls. Mitch Santner is awarded the player of the match for his outstanding bowling figures of 5 wickets giving 59 only and quickfire scored 36 runs unbeaten off 17 balls Mitchell Santner becomes the first ever New Zealand spinner to take a Fifer at the Cricket World. The 2nd Five-wicket haul in the ODIs for Santner.

New Zealand's bowlers are in very good form. Even an experienced team like England cannot do well against this bowling attack. England mustered only 282 runs even on a completely batting friendly pitch. I would say the Netherlands batsmen did very well today. The team was also able to collect more than 200 against Pakistan. However, the Netherlands are the weakest of the teams participating in the World Cup. It doesn't look like the team will win a single match.

Today's player of the match is Mitchell Santner. He picked up 5 important wickets and also batted very well. He played an excellent innings of 36 runs off just 17 balls at a moment of need for the team.

I am trying to understand what is going on with Saudi Arabian transfer craze to be honest and that's why I am writing this post. I understand government funds their teams to promote sports and raise sympathy towards their country that's obvious. But what's the end game here? I mean they may buy Haaland or Neymar or whatever new major players. But if they do not join UEFA I wouldn't count it huge success. I am wondering as if UEFA plans to let them access to champions league (I feel like this is achievable) but I suppose rich teams are opposing the idea, right?

Oh, I think more than you think, IMO. I'm sure what was done in their project was planned long ago. therefore, they did it very wonderfully. let's just imagine, how much money they spend just on player salaries alone.  In fact, these funds were issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Previously, I heard rumors that the Saudis wanted to be involved in the most prestigious competition in the European League caste, namely the Champions League. however, I cannot confirm the validity of the rumors or gossip. Apart from that, the management of the Saudi Pro League is collaborating with one of the companies to sell the broadcast rights for their competition. despite the rumors I heard, the Saudi Pro League competition is not that attractive in the market. Maybe for Asia, there are several countries that broadcast this league.
In their project, the Saudis are targeting Ronaldo for them to bring to their league. after further investigation, finally several local Saudi newspapers reported that Ronaldo was also the world cup ambassador for Arab Saidi. We can look carefully, there are many things they do in their projects. Apart from the target of hosting the World Cup in 2030, Saudi is also investing in other types of sports besides football. Again, PIF is behind it. while we know. PIF is a Saudi Arabian public investment company and is headed by Mohammad bin Salman, the crown prince and Prime Minister of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Well, referring to what you posted in this thread. My question is, with all the projects they are working on "only as far as we know" is it possible that their focus and goal is only for sports or football. for me, not at all. There is a lot that we certainly don't know, because not many media report it. but the point is, their goal is for business, empire, and not just for football. Starting from hosting the World Cup, Saudi has opened their doors to the outside world and is ready to do their business in any field. Anyway, this is just my personal opinion or thoughts. does not prove, the real truth.

I personally think that they are trying to make the country or even the whole region a point of attraction towards others. And let's be honest they are doing a really good job at it. I never heard any people from the West say that they would consider going to the Middle East. Especially for long-term residency.

But now a lot of people are actually going to Saudi, Qatar, and other countries they are setting up their businesses in those countries as well. And I think that's what the goal is for now. They are trying to attract as many businessmen as they can. And knowing that Saudi is one of the safest countries in the whole world, more and more people are going there.

In this match, the Barcelona attack was like a bee that can't make honey. They had many goal chances but struggled to score. They conceded 2 early goals and were stressed, they couldn't score 3 goals. In a game like this it might seem good to come back and get 1 point, but Granada are one of the weakest teams in the league, so this is definitely 2 points lost for Barcelona. I think Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid won't lose points against Granada. This means that Barcelona will have to take 3 points from bigger games to make up for this loss. Like winning in El Clasico, they need to win big games without even a draw.

Lamine Yamal's performance is improving day by day. It's important to remember that this boy is still developing, he will score many more goals and assists in the future, this is a start for him. I also want to mention Sergi Roberto, a player who should get more minutes. I don't understand why Xavi isn't making enough use of him this season.

Barca underestimated Granada and that was why the two goals was scored in the first half. Some of Barca key players were not in the match and this made it more difficult for them to play and secure three points. Barca scored a late goal which was suppose to give them a win but it was ruled out because Ferran Torres was on offside. It is better that they could draw the game than losing it. Currently, Real Madrid is three points ahead of Barca and this might be a big point, if Real Madrid fails to lose any match. Barca needs more consistency in their performance.


I will actually say that both of the teams had good chances to actually win this match. One thing I will criticize about Barcelona is the goalkeeping. It was definitely not good from Barcelona. We can say that the defense could have been better in general. But the goalkeeping could have been much better in my opinion. Can anyone tell me why the last goal was disallowed because of offside? Did the player actually touch the ball? I thought he did not.

I thought Barcelona was going to win this match. I will also say that Barcelona should have been able to win this match. if Barcelona cannot make sure that they get three points from these matches, it is going to be hard for them to defend the title successfully.

I have to say Mbappé has done well with the scoring of goals. Even though he has created a lot of problems for his team in my opinion, just because he has a big ego, he was still able to score goals consistently. Of course, I also think that he is not the one to blame for 100% of the problems that are currently going on in the squad. But at the same time, he does need to take some blame. He was a big reason why the infamous squad of PSG which had Neymar, Messi, Mbappé didn’t work properly. But I will blame the PSG authority more than him. They gave him the power after all.

Problem faced by Mbappe with PSG because he re fused for extending contract will over next season and make some fans unhappy with this situation, its have been problem for teams when leaving by their favorite player although some opinion about huge ego from Mbappe. Personally he has better performance for PSG than Lionel Messi or Neymar although third of them can't working well as team mate for PSG last two season. Depend how popular Lionel Messi or Neymar but Mbappe is most player priority by PSG depend he keep with the team more longer than Messi and Neymar. I don't think up his career in the future if Mbappe keep stay or renew his contract with PSG due difficult for winning most dreaming tittle "UEFA Champion League".

Of course, the club is going to be angry with the player if he suddenly decides not to extend his contract without any precautions. I do not blame the club for that at all. They did what they had to do. Obviously, they were not able to let a player go for free who is capable of making them somewhere close to 200 Million. I feel like he was not transparent with his club at all. If he was transparent enough, I believe they wouldn’t have had any problems. But when there was no chance for PSG to actually sell him, he suddenly said that he will not be extending the contract.

Anyway, he had signed a contract with PSG. And in this contract, he is able to go to another club even right now. So it is not a problem.

Although PSG has just lose from Newcastle but at least they still at 2nd position under Newcastle i think this is good if we compare to their upcoming opponent AC Milan because so far Milan has been wasted their chances to collect 3 points from Newcastle and Dortmund even while against Newcastle they have good chances to beat Newcastle at that time but apparently Milan players were failed to utilized plently of the opportunities to scores goals and it make they only can able to playing draw at home and for 3rd match Milan will fight against PSG but i feel like this match will belong to PSG especially this is home match for PSG so i don't think they want to losing points again and Milan performance in this competition doesn't really good because until 2 matches they still unable to scores so this make me so sure PSG will going to win this match

The fact that Milan did not win in the game with Newcastle was mainly due to the Newcastle goalkeeper, it is true. But the game with Dortmund, I would say, was equal, that is, Milan was definitely not a higher level. But at the same time, Milan has excellent statistics in Serie A; if you look at PSG, they are doing poorly in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Quite confusing isn't it? But PSG don't look like clear favourites. Both teams need a win, but as they say, it will be a game of “three results.”
What is clear is that there is no club in Group F that is safe and has guaranteed itself to qualify for the next stage, I think the opportunity is still wide open for these four clubs. It's confusing to see the inconsistency shown by PSG, both in Ligue 1 and in the UCL, as well as Milan, who played well in Serie A but failed to win in the UCL. After winning over PSG, Newcastle is now the favorite to qualify, while in my opinion Dortmund is the weakest of the three other clubs in Group F.

At the moment it is still very difficult to predict the strength of each club in group F, because the third matchday is still a long time away. However, I still believe that PSG has a real chance of qualifying for the last 16, even though they won't be group winners.

All the teams in the group F are definitely very good. But the problem is right now none of them are consistent. So that is a problem, which is eventually making people be not sure about which team is actually going to get to the next stage.

If we just judge by looking at the performance that they are doing right now, we have to say that Dortmund is probably not going to qualify. But at the same time, the point difference between all four teams is not very big. so every team still has a chance to qualify in my opinion. All the teams are also very much capable. All of them are big clubs, that is why it is much harder to predict right now.

But that being said, I would like to know why Mbappe is always exempted from the woes of PSG. If PSG loses a game, the whole club gets blamed except PSG. The owners, the management, the coach, the players, and the staff of the club are always blamed but never Mbappe. Why is that?

I believe that the reason they don't blame Mbappe is because he does his job well on the field and this is something visible to all people when they watch PSG games, when PSG doesn't score any goals yet they see that in that game in which he He didn't score a goal, he helped the team a lot in other ways.
~snip~

In my opinion, Mbappé is not doing that well and could be doing better....

Despite his excellent goalscoring start to the PSG season, with 8 balls in the net in 7 games, the striker has been suffering from physical problems and is far from having as good a performance as he did in a few games ago.
In fact, I think that Mbappe performed well below his colleagues in the recent 0-0 draw with Clermont, in the French Championship. Several times it was noticeable that he was quite out of breath, in addition to making several "silly mistakes" and missing a very good chance to open the scoring for PSG.

But, I don't blame Mbappe 100%, I think the main blame is still was PSG who decided to take him out of the pre-season when he refused to sign his contract renewal, and now Mpabbe is showing the consequences.

I have to say Mbappé has done well with the scoring of goals. Even though he has created a lot of problems for his team in my opinion, just because he has a big ego, he was still able to score goals consistently. Of course, I also think that he is not the one to blame for 100% of the problems that are currently going on in the squad. But at the same time, he does need to take some blame. He was a big reason why the infamous squad of PSG which had Neymar, Messi, Mbappé didn’t work properly. But I will blame the PSG authority more than him. They gave him the power after all.

I mean I dont mind bitcoin going to 30x of its current price, I am sure anyone reading this also does not. Grin

These guys own an exchange and more price changes means more money for them, so they can make any comment they want, like seriously who cares? If they come out correct, they will just self-validate, if they dont, well nobody asked them to, they will just move or or their mouth shut about it.

Hence I dont give any importance to these type of social media posts. Let bitcoin grow and adapt, who knows what pandemic is waiting for us in the future and hence forget worrying and continue collecting bitcoin.

Longtime market participants are familiar with these types of exaggerated predictions by celebrities and most dismiss them as bullshit. But newcomers will be very bullish about these predictions and they may hold bitcoin blindly. In my opinion, this is both beneficial and harmful for newbies: the advantage is that newbies will confidently hold their bitcoins with more conviction. But on the other hand, it's possible that those celebrities want to take advantage of market psychology to quietly take profits. They keep shouting that bitcoin will reach 750k or 1 million USD but they will silently sell when the price reaches 100k or 200k, and those who still believe what they say will become a liquidity pool for them.

Because I believe history will repeat itself and October was a positive month for bitcoin, the $31K target will happen this month and next, but I don't think the market will go up from here for now until halving occurs. I mean, we will still have many corrections and bitcoin may still fall below $25k or $23k before the halving.

The target of $40k by the end of the year is actually quite a lofty target for me, I don't think bitcoin can reach $40k before or after the halving. It will take some time after the halving for bitcoin to start running and the bull season to truly arrive. It's all just our guess and let's wait and see what happens.

Halving is the most awaited event at the moment but it will take year or a half before we can see price going up. This speculation is based on last two halvings pattern. But the good thing is we see stable price for few months now and this is very positive sign. There were few dips and price went down to 25k$ but it recovered back well. 30k$ is a strong barrier and is not allowing Bitcoin to go pass. This will be another attempt for Bitcoin to cross 30k$.

This is something that many people are ignoring, people are just waiting for the halving to happen but forget one thing: the bull season only comes 1 year after the halving takes place, bitcoin will not increase in price immediately when the halving ends. Therefore, people mistakenly think that the closer we get to halving, the more bitcoin cannot correct or decrease in price and the market will only go up.

Yes, the price is fluctuating around 25k-30k, and many people think it's boring, but actually, the price is stabilizing quite well because there are no major corrections happening. $30k, I believe bitcoin will breakout this month but what happens after that is hard to say. Because as you and I mentioned, bull season will only come 1 year after halving, meaning we are still quite far from bull season and many bad things can still happen.

There are two matches in the French League today. Metz will play Nice and Reims will play Monaco. I am focused on the match between Metz and Nice.

Metz actually started the league well, but they had bad results in the last games. They haven't scored a goal in the last two weeks. Their Colombian striker Oscar Estupinan is a good striker. He played for Hull City before. And I know he's a good striker and I'm sure he will catch everyone's attention after he finishes his adaptation to the French league. On the other hand, Nice are undefeated this season. They are on a great streak under Italian coach Francesco Farioli, whom I know from Turkiye. If they had beaten Brest at home last week, they would be at the top of the French league. I know it's not an easy game, but I think Nice will win this match.


Monaco vs Reims

This match is definitely going to be competitive. I believe both of the teams are at the same number of wins so far. I think in this match both of the teams are going to go for a win. I do not think that this match is going to draw. Both teams are performing at the same level of consistency in my opinion. I am expecting some mistakes, especially in the defense from both of the teams. That will open the door for the other to score.

Nice vs Metz
So far only 20 minutes have been played in this match. And Nice is already leading in this match. The score is currently one – zero. I will say that this was pretty much expected. I think Nice is going to end up winning this match easily.

This is a system of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin prices go up and down, that is not a unique thing. This is the best time to sell Bitcoin and when it will go down so buy Bitcoin. This is the system of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Anyway, Bitcoin prices are like a peak of mountains. Let's see that Bitcoin price goes down in October or not.  Lips sealed

I would consider this the worst decision or advice this year.  we are 2 years into bear season and it is almost over and there is no reason for us to sell our bitcoins now.  moreover, what do you rely on to be confident that bitcoin will fall again to buy bitcoin?  if you sell it now and the price doesn't decrease but continues to rise, what will you do? Would you sell bitcoin for $27k and buy it for $30k?

Yes, no one can predict what prices will be like in October, but there's also nothing to say prices will drop.  the idea of selling now is a bad idea if you are only selling out of fear and not because you need the money for an emergency.
I think he may be suggesting it can better to sell now for buyback later at lower prices. Some people (including me) like this method to maximize our profits. But I would agree that its very risky as you describe, selling at 28k may mean buyback at 30-35k later. But still I think October is never better bitcoin month historically. I feel like bitcoin price will only increase when fed will start to ease its monetary policies. So we need to wait some more month(s). Next year will be much better than 2023.

My prediction is that there will still be some correction and the price could return to $25k before the halving, but I also disagree with the idea of selling now and waiting to buy back when the price drops. After all, we are all just making predictions and nothing is certain because we all know bitcoin is unpredictable.

I believe we have bottomed out for this bear and the halving is approaching so we won't have another big drop. So buying bitcoin at $28k or $30k or $25k won't make much of a difference if our goal is to only sell when bitcoin makes a new ATH. Don't trade too much risk for a little profit, think about what will happen if we sell now and the price doesn't drop as we expected?

I think you are right; the market trend is becoming stronger this month, and if it continues like that, I believe we might see Bitcoin above $31k by next month. I believe the market will be bullish before the end of this year, and the price might just continue to surge high from January next year through the halving period. As some users have stated, my speculation was that Bitcoin will be able to reach at least $40k before the end of the year, but I don't know yet what's going to happen. We always know how unpredictable the Bitcoin price can be. The price spike could just start tomorrow and last through the year, leaving people in a wondering state of mind.

Because I believe history will repeat itself and October was a positive month for bitcoin, the $31K target will happen this month and next, but I don't think the market will go up from here for now until halving occurs. I mean, we will still have many corrections and bitcoin may still fall below $25k or $23k before the halving.

The target of $40k by the end of the year is actually quite a lofty target for me, I don't think bitcoin can reach $40k before or after the halving. It will take some time after the halving for bitcoin to start running and the bull season to truly arrive. It's all just our guess and let's wait and see what happens.
