This forum has being a means of survival for so many people from the third world country, due to bad economy and high rate of unemployment. I am very happy OP, that you took advantage of what you have learnt here in the forum to make a living for your family, despite the challenges that you and your wife was passing through just to be together as one. Let love lead, and I wish your pretty girl a happy belated birthday. You should be careful with the way that you relate your bitcoin engagement with the public, since it is unlawful in your country. Stay on a low key and make your family happy.

The sudden rise in bitcoin is what I don't still understand how it happen, but I know that we are close the the halving and one should expect a pump in bitcoin price but not as high as this. I could remember how many times forum members have speculated that bitcoin price will not cross 33k by the end of this year, but right now still in the month of October we have seen the highest rise in bitcoin price since 2022. This shows that bitcoin is a good asset to invest in and anyone that has bought yet can still buy because nobody knows what bitcoin price will be by the end of this year. If ETF Bitcoin is approved by January, it means that bitcoin price will go above 120k as the new ATH.

803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to invest or trade Bitcoin? on: October 24, 2023, 08:09:56 AM
I see trading as a waste of time and lack of rest of mind, all the time you are reading charts and looking at bitcoin price and at the end, you might still run at loss. Trading comes with little profit and it is very risky, because the probability of running at loss is higher than making profit. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme due to its volatile nature. One of the basic concept of bitcoin is that you should only invest the the amount of money that you can afford to lose, and that you should invest for a long period of time. This is because if you invest with the amount that you can afford to lose, you wouldn't panic and sell your coins when bitcoin price goes below your entry point, you will ignore that fear and leave your bitcoin in your wallet. The best way to make profit on bitcoin is to go on a long term bitcoin journey and use DCA method regularly to increase your bitcoin, because bitcoin price will keep pumping till infinity.

Good try making it simple. I think it would be good to tell the instances when they'll start printing more. WW3 is becoming more and more real with all the conflicts from Russia-Ukraine to the tensions in the middle east started by the Hamas attack. The West seems to be increasing the tensions between countries with territorial disputes in the South China Sea also as part of their proxy war against China.

There are news that Biden may asks for another $100 Billion for military aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan so there goes your money printing spree.

Investing in BTC and Gold/Silver could be the best move now before things turn even more ugly.

The hard part is that when WW3 happens, it should not happen because many people will die and be affected for sure. Not only financial, but even the entire economy of the country is affected. I am even praying that the ongoing war between Hamas and Lebanon will end now.

Then the US is like that: when their debt increases, they just print more of their money even though their dollar fiat has no backup reserves. Because they go through high interest rates, that's why they are still being loaned because of those offers.

You don't need to see all the countries fight at once before you will know that WW3 has started gradually. Imagine for how long that Ukraine and Russia war has last and now it is Is real and Palestine. Who knows when this one will last and if there is going to be another two countries that are rival to each other start another war again.

That's the spirit, I don't know how usually you do this or you really have got the balls since it's just a letter or what. But we might actually see them print more money soon.

With what's happening in the world and the promises and pledges that US is telling to their alliances that are in war, they need to have more cash.
It is obvious that money printing will be the next thing that the US will do since they have focus more on war and they will need funds to support the ongoing wars.

Chelsea will be playing against Brentford in their next match, let's see how they play, but I am expecting a win from Chelsea in the match. With the way Chelsea is trying to get back to form, any club playing against them will find it difficult to win them.

Chelsea's extraordinary performance against Arsenal. Chelsea showed the Blues fans that their resurrection began in the London derby match.
I did not question the draw that was obtained like the person who had a problem that Chelsea should have won.
In Chelsea's best performance against Arsenal two days ago, Palmer became a player who was able to revive the spirit of Chelsea's glory.

Brentford must prepare himself to face Chelsea because Chelsea that Brentford will face in the next match is not Chelsea with the game of the start of the season that is so easy to beat.
Stamford Bridge public will sing celebrating every match that will happen there.
Both teams played very well on that day and I never expected Chelsea to take the lead till the 76th minutes that Arsenal broke the deadlock and equalised the game. It was an astonishing performance and I must say that Chelsea have improved in their performance recently and I hope to see the best from Chelsea in their next match with Brentford. On the other hand Arsenal underestimated Chelsea initially and it was when they came back to their senses that they could balance the game. Palmer is a very good player and his impact was felt in the match. I don't know why Manchester city sold him.

There is physical bitcoin, on the physical bitcoin you will see the public key and the private key on the physical token. If you look at the back of the physical bitcoin, that is where the private key is and it is well secured and covered with a holographic sticker which makes it hard for anyone to see. For you to know if the private key has been tampered, there will be a noticeable mark that will appear on the private key to show that the sticker has been peeled.

A lot of players missing for Juventus

If they draw it will be a miracle.
AC Milan dominated the game in the first 25 minutes. A draw cannot be confirmed as the final result. Massimiliano Allegri made the difference in this big match. Juventus' formation in this match is different from the formation used when they beat Torino last week.
Visiting the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, AC Milan, Allegri played two strikers. Maybe Allegri wanted an attacking game, but in the current game AC Milan dominated ball possession.
The game has changed in favour of Juve on the 40th minutes as Thiaw got a red card for  pulling down Weah after he got a through pass, which he has already beaten Thiaw, as Thiaw was the last man standing. He got a red card and let Milan with no choice but to player with one man down. After that time Juve has taken control over the ball and they made few attempt before the end of the first half. It will be quite surprising if Juve don't win Milan in this match, because all three games that Milan has played with Juve, Milan won them. It was a marvelous first half and very interesting performance from both clubs.

           Villarreal vs Alaves

The match is ongoing between Villarreal and Alaves, it was a goalless first. Alaves broke the deadlock in the early minutes of the second half on the 48th minutes. When Samu got a through pass from Jon Rugridi and he took a beautiful shot to net the post. On the 65th minutes Monero  equalized the goal with a penalty kick. Aleksandar Sedlar committed a hand ball inside the box which led to a PK. The second half is a very challenging one as both teams are struggling to score so that one side goes home with no point. Villarreal is finding it difficult to score another goal as their host is not taking the match for granted. I was expecting this match not to be this hard for Villarreal, but it is the other way round.
Villarreal 1-1 Alaves.

As a beginner, DCA will help you accumulate bitcoin regularly, which gives you a better chance of increasing you bitcoin investment portfolio with ease and faster. It is been confirmed by expert investors that as long as you are hodling for a long term, DCA method of accumulating bitcoin will serve you better because you have made a budget of the actual amount that you will use to buy bitcoin regularly, either weekly or monthly. DCA strategy is the way to passive income when you invest in bitcoin, this is because you will always buy bitcoin irrespective of the price movement of bitcoin and your portfolio will keep on increasing bit by bit. If can you use DCA method to accumulate for one circle and sell at the bull run.

Arsenal doing really good this season. Won against both Manchester clubs and coming back from 2-0 to get a point from Chelsea team was fun to watch. Chelsea had the opportunity to triple their lead but a fresh off the bench Jackson couldn't find a way to outsmart David Raya. If that goal had gone in, it would've changed the tide of the match.

Arsenal slowly but steadily becoming a team that is unwise to celebrate against until 90 minutes is asserted by the officials. Otherwise, you might even lose the game.
It was fun to see how the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea had the opportunity to win the game in the second half, when they had numerous chances of scoring but they didn't utilize the chance and this was what didn't make them to have scored more goals before Arsenal equalize the two goals within 7 minutes in the last quarter of the match. Trosaad came from the bench to equalize the goal for his team which made them to go home with just a point. It has been four years since Chelsea won Arsenal in Emirate stadium and I was thinking that Chelsea will break that record but instead they didn't.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 21, 2023, 04:33:59 PM

Manchester city are a big team and they have quality players in every department and pep Guardiola has really done well to be able to blend the team together but we have seen they haven't really been at there best recently. Even though they haven't been super bad I believe they have the ability to do more than they are currently and that's because they are missing Kevin debruyne. He is very important for Manchester city in that defense and what he does can be hardly duplicated.
not every time it is easy for Manchester City I already knew they would win, but was still scared pep is smart and will always try to win all his matches, watching the way Manchester is playing as if they are struggling because, after the second goal, they were looking for a way to stop Brighton from scoring and to so extent brighton even tried many attempts to equalize but all were disallowed by manchester city and the game ended the way manchester city wanted, and am already seen the visibility of manchester cities strategy once they score they starts guarding up against there opponent. and which club should even be a concern for Manchester City?
City managed to win Brighton with tension on their minds, because if you look at the end of the match, you will see how happy they were that they won the match. This is because their defensive game in the second half almost cost them a draw, as Brighton players took the boldness to fight back after Ansuu Fati broke the deadlock. Akanji received a late red card at the extra time of the game, and it was like Brighton will equalize as they were pressuring Manchester city for a goal. Whatever, what mater most is that City were able to secure three points. I didn't expected the game to be this tough for City but they should be happy that their early goals saved their ass.
813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 21, 2023, 01:39:44 PM
Liverpool only leading one point from 20 total shots, it's not good to be honest because they're seems really want to score a goal as fast as possible. Everton could give a surprise for score a goal in the last minute and then the match end in draw.

With the current Liverpool's performance, I doubt they can become a champion because they can't completely beat a club which play with 10 players.
This cannot be a benchmark, Everton is not an easy opponent for Liverpool to face because there is high tension every match between these two teams because this is a Derby match which is full of prestige.
It was indeed difficult for Liverpool's front players to score goals in this match, but apart from that, at the end of the match Liverpool managed to win with a score of 2-0, this was enough to get an additional 3 points this week.
I don't think it's appropriate for us to say that Liverpool doesn't deserve to be champion because in terms of performance the Liverpool team has improved a lot this season.
Liverpool is doing a great job at Anfield even though they could only score just one goal from a stretch arm of Everton player inside the six yard box that led to a penalty against Everton. Sallah wonderfully scored the penalty, which gave Liverpool the lead. Liverpool took possession of the game and dominated the match and Everton was reluctant to put themselves back in the game. Everton couldn't play well in the second half as they allowed Liverpool to be in control of the match and this made it uneasy for them to equalize the penalty scored by Sallah on the 70th minutes of the game. The pressure of Everton to equalize the goal made them to stay focus in the front and this gave Liverpool another advantage as Nunez took the ball and ran through the middle to score but didn't and he made the day for Sallah by passing the ball to him as an unselfish player. Sallah was happy and took advantage to bang the net the second time on the 7mins of the extra time to seal up the match with a 2-0 victory. Liverpool deserves all three points today.

Osasuna 1-0 Granada

Budimir has broken the deadlock  for Osasuna as he scored an early goal on the early minutes of the first half. He was inside in the box of Granada when he received a pass that he brilliantly finished on the 11th minutes of the game, to put his team ahead of Granada in the match.

Osasuna is happy to be in charge of the game presently as the are winning possession. The early goal that was scored by Osasuna is still like a surprise to Granada and they are still struggling to withstand the pressure from Osasuna who is playing at home.  Maybe Granada will still equalize the goal if they can stay put in the game.

The match that Osasuna played at home was a passive match, I didn't expect them to be so sucked at their own home. Look at the statistics in the first half on the attacking side, it looks like Granada is always giving attacks to Osasuna's side. It looks like we can't expect any more goals from Osasuna in the second half, they will maintain the current situation to get 3 points or it could be that Granada, who is a team in the relegation zone now, will equalize the score and share the points in the end.
It was a victorious night in El Sada as Osasuna won Granada 2-0 to win all three points. Budimir scored all two goals and the second was scored with a penalty kick on the 59th minutes of the game. He started the first half with a goal and also started the second half with a goal. Granada was unable to break the deadlock in the match. Granada later in the last quarter of the match, played with 10 men as one of their player was given a red card due to the bad tackle that he did against Osasuna player. He was not just sent out of the field but he was sent to go to the dressing room to watch the match. Granada is in a very bad form this season.

Nobody can say maybe or not bitcoin price will move upward or downward but from the information read this morning for the sudden pump, it states that there was pressure last week on SEC not to take so many protocol and make ETF approval easy, and maybe by January it will be approved. If this is true, then it is likely that we will see the price of bitcoin going up, but who knows if the SEC will listen and approve it quickly. I know that from next year we will see a good pump and we will know this from the price of bitcoin by December this year.

As time passes on, the more civilization takes over the world with new technologies and the population increases. Then days people only believed in going to school to earn a living and those who don't go to school are seen as people that wouldn't earn well and meet up with the standard of life. It is different now, people that are graduated or that want to depend on what they study in school are the ones that are living a poor life due to lack of jobs, since the population has increased significantly than those days. To be productive and creative presently, is what will make you excel in life because you will become your own boss and wouldn't depend on the government to earn a living. Even if you are a graduate, you need to be productive and creative to add more value to yourself, and it will also create more opportunity for you to be successful in life.
817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having the knowledge of bitcoin without having bitcoin is a waste on: October 19, 2023, 08:01:22 PM
Yeah. It doesn't make a single sense knowing about Bitcoin and not actually holding it. It will only amount to having a head knowledge and not having hand on experience.
Knowledge is power, but knowledge not put to practice is a useless.
Any knowledge that is not used or used in life will remain useless and that person is no different from someone who doesn't know about Bitcoin. What you say is actually quite correct for those who already know about Bitcoin but are still afraid to buy Bitcoin or keep Bitcoin as their own investment.

Knowledge, or having a lot of knowledge but not making a profit or not being able to feed us or help us have a better life is also useless. So, knowing about bitcoin will not make us better than anyone else if we do not invest in it and do not get positive results from it.
It will be a big loss for those who already know about Bitcoin but don't want to have Bitcoin as an investment for their own future, because opportunities that are not used properly after having more knowledge will be a waste for anyone. So knowledge will be useful when someone wants to use it for themselves and it will be much better if someone wants to tell other people about Bitcoin even though other people don't necessarily want to accept that knowledge.

Quote
People won't care how highly educated you are, how talented you are, how hard you try. What people will look to you to judge is the results you achieve. But to get good results, knowledge needs to be used and applied, otherwise a pile of empty knowledge will become useless.
That is quite true, because knowledge that is not used will also become very dull over time and will never be useful at all, so the application of knowledge really needs to be done to prove to many people that knowledge about Bitcoin is indeed good for many people to learn. Because the main thing that other people will judge about knowledge is its benefits and also the results that can be obtained from that knowledge so that other people will not think that knowledge about Bitcoin is just useless.
To summarize what both of you have just said about having all the knowledge but not using the knowledge to achieve some security in the nearest future due to not investing, is because the lack faith and believe in bitcoin that it can become a safe haven in the future to come. Having the knowledge of what you don't have faith and trust in, will make that person take some opportunities for granted, because there is no way that you know that bitcoin is a treasure and believe so that you wouldn't start investing to know how the treasure looks like. Being to familiar with something and you don't put it in practice, will make you not to see the benefit that it has. This is the same with bitcoin.
818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Lump sum Vs DCA" for Bitcoin Accumulation on: October 19, 2023, 04:27:31 PM
Lump sum is done by rich investors, so that they can buy once and forget about buying regular by splitting the amount into fractions for DCA. I don't think that people that buy with lump sum cares if the price goes dipper than the amount that they bought because as long as they are investing in a long term, they will definitely make profit. It is a poor investor that if he manages to gather his money for a long period of time and buy bitcoin once with it, that when the price dips below what he bought might not be happy with his decision but as long as he is holding his bitcoin for long, he will make profit. DCA has proved to investors that it is the best stratgy in which you can use to balance the equilibrium in your accumulation, by buying at regular at various price to keep on increasing your portfolio. What I know with this two strategy is that someone who uses DCA method to accumulate his bitcoin, will have a higher chance to increase his bitcoin portfolio, than some who buys in a lump sum. Lump sum is good when you have the luck to buy at the bottom line of the dip.
819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play equal to deposited funds before you can withdraw on: October 19, 2023, 11:20:20 AM
This is a common rule in most casinos and it is nice because I don't see any reason why you will fund your gambling wallet and you are not ready to gamble with some amount, and later you come back to make withdrawal. This will make the casinos raise eye browns towards your action. It is not also fair to show the casino that you have funds and don't want to use the money to enjoy their service, since they are not banks, where anyone will just dump some money and withdraw immediately. One should note that if you don't want to use that money for gambling, there is no need that you put it into your gambling wallet, if not you will not be given access to withdraw it you wager.
