Is Musk the boss behind SHIB? Is there an advantage in the future? I am optimistic that SHIB's performance is as good as DOGE  Can someone explain, thank you  I'm sure Elon Musk is not the boss of Shiba, he just buys Shiba at a very low price and then helps market it through his tweets so that the price goes up high. just like dogecoin which Elon bought when the price was still low, then he shill it to increase the price of dogecoin in the market. Elon Musk is not the boss behind SHIB, he's just a businessman with big capital, who wants to make big profits through SHIB. Elon Musk is indeed happy to make meme coins as his playing ground, by manipulating the price of meme coins for his personal gain. Which Elon Musk has done with Dogecoin, so if we want to invest in SHIB we should be careful and I recommend only for the short term. But I suggest it would be better not to invest in SHIB, because the risk is too big. There are many other choices of coins that are safer for investment and can generate large profits too, so why risk our money in SHIB. |

However, this does not generalize everything, there are some people who are also serious about learning from scratch and becoming traders.
I agree. Not all new investors join crypto investments with improper knowledge (less knowledge). Some of them are serious to learn about crypto first before they really buy any crypto coins. Those people who learn seriously at the beginning, probably have enough knowledge to trade or invest before they make plans and take some actions. I have some friends who are beginners in crypto investment, but they have a good understanding of crypto and have sufficient knowledge. They don't look like a new generation to gamble in crypto investment. I think there are very few new generation of investors who are really serious about learning how to invest in crypto well. So if your friends are people who want to learn about crypto first before deciding to invest, it's something that everyone should be doing. I am sure your friends will become successful investors or traders in the future. Because most newbies just want instant results, without going through a long process. So it's not surprising that many newbies lose all their capital when they first invest in crypto. Because they like gambling when investing, that's why some people consider crypto investing the same as playing gambling. Even though they themselves are too lazy to learn everything about the crypto world, in order to understand how the crypto world works. |

Actually the key to being rich is not how much income we make, but how do we manage our finances well. So always be careful to manage the profit we make from Bitcoin, because no matter how big the profit we make from Bitcoin, it can run out instantly if we don't manage it properly. |

According to Marca's news, Gareth Bale and Isco are very much likely to leave Real Madrid in January. Their contracts both are running our in next summer. And I guess that there would be some teams interested in especially Gareth Bale to sign. Actually, he is not as good as in the old days now. However, he hasn't got much chance in the Real Madrid lineup this season also. He showed a great performance at Tottenham in the last season (16 goals, 4 assists in 35 games). Maybe Tottenham would like to sign him back. https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2021/12/26/61c890e822601dce518b45c2.htmlIndeed, Gareth Bale and Isco should be immediately sold by Real Madrid in the January transfer market, in addition to their contracts expiring at the end of this season, the two players if sold could reduce the salary burden that must be borne by Real Madrid. I think Tottenham is the right team for Gareth Bale. Indeed, Bale's performance has now gone downhill, but when Bale played for Tottenham on loan before, Bale's form was quite good. This means that Bale is more adaptable if he is at Tottenham, but the problem is whether Tottenham are willing to accept Bale back. Because it was not a wise decision for Tottenham to buy Bale, considering Bale's age is not young anymore and Bale is unlikely to develop again. |

Long term is a simple technique to be able to get big profits, when we are optimistic that the coins we buy will be profitable for the long term then don't panic when you see prices go down, the best way is to buy, store in a private wallet and leave it according to the timeframe, don't check the daily price because it makes us tempted to sell.
The panic starts when the investor is uncertain of what he invested in. But it's true that no one should be worried and never panic when you see the prices go down. You've bought it and everyone should have done their research for it before buying it because that will make them calm as they find out what they've invested and what it is capable of in the long term. It is very important that we have good analytical skills, it ensures that we choose the right coins for long-term investments. Therefore, we should never be lazy to learn all things about the crypto world, so that we understand better how to do the right analysis. If we choose based on the results of our own research and analysis, we usually don't panic if we see our chosen coins drop in price. Because we can predict the price movements of these coins and we are also sure of the potential of these coins. So we believe our chosen coins will go up someday, and we will patiently wait until the coins of our choice reach the target we have set. |

And maybe beginner investors are afraid that the market may turn out red next year and as early as today, they are selling off to make profits still or just have some cash this holiday and be ready to buy when the market crashes and goes into bearish next year.
Everyone has his/her own reasons to dump in the last couple of months. But if you are a diamond hand, then for sure you will not be affected and won't simply sell your BTC at this price.
Actually, with the increase in the price of Bitcoin so high this year, it is not surprising that many investors take profit to secure the profits they have made. That is one of the causes of the Bitcoin price dump after hitting the ATH price two months earlier. The declining Bitcoin price has panicked some newbies who are inexperienced, as you said newbie panic Bitcoin price will continue to decline. However, if we do the analysis correctly, there is nothing to worry about, every time Bitcoin dumps, the price will recover and rise even higher than the previous price. Especially with many institutions joining this year, making Bitcoin price support very strong, that's the reason why Bitcoin always stays above $45k. Even now starting to go up to $50k, and I hope Bitcoin will return to $60k soon. |

So far Bitcoin has been very outstanding and I can proudly say it is doing Noble, but has it's goal been achieved??
The answer's NO, they're still so many aspects of Bitcoin that's yet to be perfected, most countries are yet to regulate the use of Bitcoin and accept it as a means of payment for commodities, this would be achieved in no long a time, maybe not 💯 of the would but hopefully up to 90% would.
I do believe also that bitcoin has not yet achieved the real goal and I do also believe that if ever Satoshi is still active in forum today or I hope he still safe and sound today I think his main goal for bitcoin has not yet reached. We've seen ups and downs of bitcoin for almost a decade now and finally even a small step at a time we have watched already a great progress from the market value but for me I think the true reason of existence of bitcoin is a quite bit far more to achieve but I am very certain that bitcoin will going to achieve it, the wide adoption and the common used of crypto in global economy will soon come to reality. Although the real purpose of Bitcoin has not been achieved, because the majority of countries still reject Bitcoin as a means of payment. But that doesn't stop Bitcoin from continuing to grow and the Bitcoin adoption process is also expanding. Even Bitcoin surprised everyone, including Satoshi Nakamoto himself, whose Bitcoin price continued to rise significantly. Nobody ever thought Bitcoin was so good as a digital asset, no wonder more people are holding Bitcoin than using Bitcoin as payment. I don't think it's a problem Bitcoin hasn't reached its main goal, at least Bitcoin has provided many benefits to many people around the world. And that's a very good thing, because Bitcoin has made the lives of many people better. |

Manchester City are going to have another comfortable home game today I think. Leicester are not playing as good as in the last season now. They struggle against big teams of the league a lot. And Manchester City are even the leader in the league standings right now. I'm expecting to see their incredible performance against Leicester in this game too. Maybe Leicester could score one goal. But I think that Manchester City will destroy them like 3-1.
Man City managed to win 8 games in a row in the Premier League, this proves that Man City is playing consistently and deserves to be at the top. Quite different from Leicester who have played very inconsistently this season, they often drop points and will likely find it difficult to face Man City. Not only you predict victory for Man City, but many people are very optimistic Man City will beat Leicester easily. Moreover, Man City must not lose points against Leicester, because if Man City fail to beat Leicester, this will provide an opportunity for Liverpool to catch up to the points that Man City has. Because Liverpool are under Man City only 3 points different, the competition is very tight between Man City and Liverpool. |

Of course I'm satisfied, even though the profit I get is still small compared to 2017 but I'm satisfied because some coins that I consider dead can skyrocket again in 2021, I'm optimistic that the future of cryptocurrencies will continue to improve so I don't hesitate to keep buying.
It can be said that 2021 is better than the increase that has occurred in 2017 or 2013, many coins are showing fantastic performance like Solana and Shiba, and some of my very profitable assets are AAVE, MANA, Polkadot, MATIC and so on. If someone is dissatisfied with the achievement of altcoins in 2021 it means that person is buying at the peak price, and it's hard to sell now because the market hasn't recovered. Or maybe the person is a newbie and has no knowledge of the performance of altcoins in the previous year. Because when compared to the previous year, most of the altcoins experienced a significant increase in 2021. So 2021 is indeed the best year so far, because almost all altcoins reached new ATH prices this year, and the profit that we generate in 2021 should be very satisfying. I believe 2022 will be much better, so I decided to hold several altcoins that I consider potential until 2022. |

I don't think taking loan to invest in cryptocurrency. Trading in general is a risky game so there is no point to advice someone to take loan for crypto investment, it's a rule not to invest the amount you can't avoid to loose, and loaned money will not give proper mindset. Cryptocurrency market is not really predictable, so taking loan to trade is not a good advice.
I once tried to borrow money from a bank as investment capital in crypto, but it didn't meet my expectations. The price of the coins I bought keeps dropping, while I have to pay my loan installments regularly every month. Finally I experienced financial problems, because the money to buy daily needs I had to use to pay off debts. Like you said the crypto market is very difficult to predict, so it's not a good idea to borrow money to invest in crypto. It's better if we invest with small capital, but from the extra money we have, so in the future there will be no financial problems if the market does not match our expectations. That's the risk of borrowing money for investment if it doesn't match expectations, and having to pay according to the agreement is very uncomfortable if our finances are not good. Never risk certainty with uncertainty, because investment is uncertainty that does not necessarily match expectations, it would be better if you borrow money for urgent or very important purposes such as for treatment due to illness or other. Invest according to your ability even in small amounts, do not force what is not in accordance with the circumstances, borrow money for investment because you will face two risks, loss if your investment fails and still repay your loan under any circumstances. Fortunately I have learned a lot from my previous mistakes by using money loans for investments. Now I only invest according to the finances I have, indeed the profit generated is not that big, but it is safe to do. Unfortunately many people often risk certainty with uncertainty, simply because of the greed that is in them. Eventually people who cannot control their greed will end badly, they will experience financial problems. Don't be easily tempted to see the big profits shown by people who do have large capital, because everyone has different financial abilities, we don't need to chase people who have stronger financial abilities than us. Therefore it is very important to be grateful no matter how much profit we make, even though our capital is small and our profit is also small, but with proper financial management, we can get a big profit if the profit we make is accumulated. |

This Christmas brings happiness to bitcoin holders or people who already bought bitcoin at a low price to decide to sell some portion and celebrate their profit with their family. This increase is just a new beginning before we end this year and we will see the other high price in the next years. If the situation is no longer good in the next year, that will not be a problem because we will have the best time to accumulate more as the price can reach a low price. Just have more patient and use your time to decide.
I usually do every Christmas always sell some of the Bitcoin I have, so that I can plan a holiday events with my family and also be able to give gifts to my children. Moreover, this year I was able to generate quite a large profit, so I can enjoy Christmas this year happily with my family. Even though Bitcoin price failed to hit $100k on Christmas Eve this year, which was my goal. But when compared to the price of Bitcoin on Christmas Eve the year before, Bitcoin managed to double and I am very satisfied with that. I'm sure Bitcoin could hit $100k in 2022, so if early 2022 Bitcoin goes down again, that's my chance to buy more Bitcoin again. |

The contract extension has been offered since the last summer and so far Pogba refused to sign it. If he has no intention to sign it then I dont think he will in the future so if his contract expires then he will be able to leave the club for free and I bet there will be alot of top club willing to take him in. Its safe to say that he is probably already having some clubs in his mind right now but anyway the team doesnt really need him though
He has been injured for quite some time and the team is doing quite decent even without him
Until now Pogba has not decided and even seems to have no intention of continuing his contract with Manchester United even though he has been offered various clauses by United on the grounds that his salary does not match and wants to add a salary to his job. On the other hand, talking about the future until now, Pogba is still widely associated with Madrid and his former club, Juventus and there are even some sources who say that he has told his agent to find time to talk about his future at Juventus. Ralf Rangnick has given the green light if Pogba wants to move to another club, because according to Rangnick why keep players who no longer have the desire to play at Man United. But that doesn't mean Pogba is not worth keeping, if Man United want to keep a player there must be a desire from the player to stay too. So according to Rangnick, Man United doesn't need to convince Pogba to change his mind. Leave Pogba alone to decide whether he will stay or move to another club. Man United will also only sell Pogba if Pogba asks to be sold to another club, otherwise Man United are still open to discussing a contract extension with Pogba. It seems that Pogba is still waiting for a team that dares to offer a big salary, therefore Pogba has yet to decide his future. |

Wrong thinking when a big coin like TRON is too dependent on Justin Sun, I think when he came out the work shift was done perfectly so TRON will continue to prosper, I also never doubted the future of TRON even without Justin Sun.
I see that Justin Sun's decision to resign from TRON will not have too big an effect on TRON's future. Since TRON has become as big as it is today, it must be because of the cooperation of many people, because it's impossible for Justin Sun to be the only one who made TRON a potential project. Justin Sun definitely has a team that makes TRON a strong project. I'm sure the TRON development team will still be able to make TRON even better, even without Justin Sun. I also believe that not many investors have left TRON because Justin Sun is no longer at TRON. So I still recommend TRON as a project that is worth buying and good for investment. Then it's the same with USDT, it won't matter if Justin Sun resigns from TRON. The conclusion is not to worry about Justin Sun's decision to resign from TRON, it doesn't have a big effect in my opinion. |

when the price declines like this time, buying is a good choice. but to anticipate the next decline, then leaving capital to buy back for the better.
It is not always a good time to buy once the market is in a decline phase. We need to analyze how's the market goes down, and what probably happens in the near future. We must learn and update the current issues/news about crypto. If there is too much negative news spreading, I suggest not buying any single coin. Those negative news may lead the market to drop more, BTC can decrease the value severely. As the result, altcoins will follow to free fall constantly. So, the best time to buy is when much positive news spreading again and BTC price gradually recovers. That's right, don't be in a hurry to buy coins when the market goes down, because we don't know how deep the decline will be. We must do research and analysis first of the coins that we will buy, besides we can predict whether the price of the coins will go down again, we can also judge the coins are worth buying or not. Because not all coins are good to buy, if we choose the wrong coins for investment, then we buy the coins at a low price will not make us profit. It is true that a market dump is a good time to buy coins, but it is necessary to analyze it first before deciding to buy. So besides being able to avoid investing in the wrong projects, we are also more effective in generating profit. Well, you should not come in the crypto space if you lack the knowledge and good analysis as to what coins have potentials to invest. Because if you do invest without learning much on the background of the coins you are going to invest, then most likely that your money and time will definitely be wasted. However, i still think that the best time to invest is in time of dips. You will have more chances to be more profitable in the future if you can buy potential coins at their lowest prices. But not all low priced coins are considered profitable in the future, some are shitcoins that will never grow their value. So be careful in buying in dips. This is the importance of educating many people, never be lazy to learn about the crypto world first, before finally deciding to invest in crypto. As you said if we invest but don't understand what we are buying, it will only make us lose and waste our money. Therefore if we look at most people who fail in the crypto world, because they do not understand how the crypto world works, they rely too much on other people's analysis when choosing coins to buy. So we have to be able to analyze the market properly first if we want to make a profit in the crypto world. Therefore determine the right time to buy coins, can only be done by people who do have good analytical skills first. But regarding shitcoins which are never suggested to be bought, because the risk is very high, there is a possibility that the price will not increase even though the crypto market has recovered. So I suggest investing in top coins which are safer for investment. |

I never think that Bitcoin can be made centralized. Bitcoin is decentralized.
Although when we are using Bitcoin, trading it on exchanges and other activuties rekated in Bitcoin, we need to do through the centralized exchanges and others, it doesn't mean that the Bitcoin centralized, does it?
How can we exactly track the Bitcoin from one wallet and others? Moreover centralized relates to controled systems. How do the governments will take the full controls of al transactions in the world wide of Bitcoin?
It is impossible for the government to make Bitcoin centralized, because it is impossible for the government to control all Bitcoin transactions on the internet. Therefore, if there is a country that prohibits the use of Bitcoin, that country cannot prevent its residents from using Bitcoin. I have a friend who lives in a country where Bitcoin is banned, but my friend can still own and use Bitcoin. That proves Bitcoin is decentralized, this is what makes Bitcoin able to give users the freedom to manage their own finances without a third party. The government can only regulate exchanges by requiring KYC, while not all exchanges require KYC procedures, although I know nowadays most of the exchanges enforce KYC. Then we can make Bitcoin transactions without going through exchanges. That's why I said it was impossible for the government to make Bitcoin centralized. |

But it is obvious that Dortmund won't be able to keep him after the end of this season. Dortmund need him definitely. But it won't be easy for them to keep a great striker like him here for a longer time. I wouldn't be surprised if Haaland wants to start playing bigger than this already. He shouldn't waste his time at Dortmund also. They don't even achieve a proper title while having him too. Then, what is the meaning in staying here for Haaland? He deserves to experience a Champions League title for example.
Haaland is a goal machine in Dormund, and If he leaves Dormund, it will definitely affect the club. You can remember how Dormund lost most of the matches they played without Haaland. However, I think it will be a nice idea about Haaland moving to another club. He have to experience new challenges, and probably play in another League. Chelsea wanted to sign him last transfer window, but Dormund refuse to let go of him. Nevertheless, IMO, Premier League will be a good choice for Haaland. He should move to either Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City. Cases like this for Dortmund are not new, because before that many Dortmund strikers and Dortmund coaches have always been the target of big teams in the EPL and La Liga like Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich as well. We can see where they have come from before such as Robert Lewandowski, Aubameyang and Jurgen Klopp and maybe many more that many Dortmund players are recruited to the EPL and La Liga and they are anchored in the big teams in their respective leagues. So, the Haaland case is nothing new for Dortmund, somehow and sooner or later Haaland will certainly go to another club later. Haaland will need the better team than his current one to show his skills and to get good income as well. While Dortmund for sure will need good money as well to strengthen the management financial. One of its way is buy selling good and prospected players. Many good players come from this team, Dortmund. It seems that getting the Bundesliga trophy is not Dortmund's priority. therefore almost every season Dortmund always sell their star players. Even several times Dortmund let off their best coach, therefore it will be difficult for Dortmund to become Bundesliga champions and end Bayern's dominance. They may prefer to strengthen their finances by selling the star players they have. Because usually Dortmund sell their star players at high prices, whereas Dortmund usually buys prospect players at low prices. And it is likely that this will also happen to Haaland, because Dortmund bought Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg at a low price. Then now Haaland has been targeted by many big clubs, and of course Dortmund will sell Haaland at a high price. After all, Haaland did need to move to a big club to be able to win many trophies and earn a bigger salary. |

Are there still any good coins in the long-term that are worth the hold? Feels like they left off the top 10 anyways whatever those coins are with the exception of stablecoins of course.
I would still hold for Bitcoin. If there was worth holding in the long-term, I could have bought that as well along with ETH.
I would say that holding ETH is still a valid option and I would put BNB and LTC there as well. They are probably the most trustworthy four horsemen of the crypto world right now. I am not saying that they are the only ones, obviously there are other coins that you could invest, but for people who do not trust any coin at all, these four are the most important and known ones if you ask me. Something like 50% bitcoin, 25% ETH, 15% BNB and 10% LTC would build a great portfolio for anyone who is starting newly or anyone who doesn't want to risk their money with other coins. I of course invest into other things as well but I am taking that risk, you do not have to do that, just these four would be enough. The 4 coins you mentioned are not only very good for long-term investments, but it is a good choice for a newbie who is less knowledgeable about the crypto world. Because BTC, ETH, BNB and LTC are indeed very safe coins for investment, the four coins have a fairly high demand, and is also listed on many popular exchanges. So indeed the risk of investing in the 4 coins is not too big. But that doesn't mean it's easy to make a profit from the 4 coins you mentioned, it takes good emotional control to be successful. Because the volatile crypto market sometimes makes the movement of coins difficult to predict, so it takes patience and not to panic when the market moves in the direction we don't expect. No matter how good the coins we choose for investment, the price will drop quite deep as well. That's the importance of good emotional control, so that we can be patient with any situation and not make the wrong decisions. |

We are quiet close to enter 2022. Three days ago, market condition wasn’t good but yesterday it was climbing up perfectly. such behaviour is normal in crypto market but i really don't know what is going to happened on 2022. It history repeat itself then everybody knows what we are going to face But bitcoin is more stronger than before. Even bear attack happened Several time before but market recovered. I hope we'll see winning of bull trend as well as another ath in 2022 like this year
Nobody knows what will happen in 2022, but if we look at Bitcoin's incredible 2021 performance, I am optimistic that in 2022 Bitcoin will perform much better. Although in December Bitcoin is still in bad shape and there is no sign of recovery, but it looks like the Bitcoin support price is quite strong, therefore the Bitcoin price is still strong above the current $45k price. We can learn from the history of previous Bitcoin price movements, which no matter how deep Bitcoin falls, it can always recover and rise higher. So we really don't have to worry about the current situation, we have to believe that the bull trend will come soon. So just be patient holding the Bitcoin we have and hope that early 2022 we can see positive movements from Bitcoin. |

One thing that kind of drives me crazy is I don't remember exactly when or how I discovered bitcoin. I know that it was either late 2013 or early 2014, but I can't specifically remember when or how. I have a few email records from late 2014 which prove that I knew of bitcoin from back then, but they do not provide any clues as to how I discovered it.
So how about you, when and how did you discover bitcoin? What were your initial thoughts? Did you think negatively of it at first discovery and change your mind, or did you always think it was a great idea?
Maybe around 2016/2017 I found out about Bitcoin, at that time I was reading some articles about how to make money on the internet. Then I accidentally found an article that talk about Bitcoin, at first I wasn't sure about Bitcoin. So at that time I was looking for a way to get Bitcoin for free, therefore initially I got Bitcoin through faucets and airdrops. After the price of Bitcoin continued to rise, I decided to buy Bitcoin for the first time around mid-2017, and when the end of 2017 Bitcoin pump and I managed to make a profit. Then entering 2018 I started trading altcoins and suffered losses. Then continue to try investing in the ICO is also the same, a lot of losses. In the end I began to realize that I had to focus on investing in Bitcoin, but because I never thought Bitcoin could rise as high as it is now, I don't collect a lot of Bitcoins and I regret not collecting as many Bitcoins. |

We are watching a very competitive game right now between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. And it is really interesting that we watched three goals in the first ten minutes but none after that. The stoppage time is being played and Real Madrid maintain their 2-1 lead in this tough away game of theirs. Benzema is really close to carry his team to a victory by scoring two goals. But I'm appreciating the efforts of both teams as A. Bilbao aren't playing bad too.
I agree that the Bilbao vs Real Madrid match was very interesting, because in that match 3 goals were created in just 10 minutes. After the next 80 minutes there were no more goals scored, and both teams also played quite well and created some chances. Statistically, Real Madrid had more control over the match, but even though Real Madrid had 60% possession of the ball. Bilbao can still attack and managed to do 15 kicks, even Bilbao also showed his fighting spirit by committing many violations. However, Real Madrid's quality is still better than Bilbao, and Real Madrid also has Karim Benzema on fire. That's why Real Madrid deserved to win, but I was very entertained by the Bilbao vs Real Madrid match. With this victory Real Madrid managed to stay away from Sevilla, because Sevilla failed to win, after a draw with Barcelona. |
