But OP is asking how a whale can convert millions of dollars of bitcoin into fiat. While we always criticize centralized exchanges, there is no denying that they are the most liquid in the market. So not only retail investors but even whales will use them if they want to convert crypto assets into fiat. Using CEX's P2P to convert to fiat is fairly straightforward for small amounts, but large amounts can be a big deal. You won't get in trouble with exchanges, but you will get in trouble with your local bank if your account suddenly has large transactions.

I really doubt it, I'm not pessimistic, but I never thought that bitcoin would be able to become the currency of the world. Although Satoshi's purpose in creating bitcoin was to be a decentralized currency, since the day it was used, people have treated it as an asset for speculation rather than using it as money. Even if bitcoin doesn't volatility and becomes stable, I don't believe governments will accept it as a currency because bitcoin is decentralized. If they accept bitcoin, the government will lose control over its people. Do you think they will let that happen?

Not only is the OP surprised if he is still tracking bitcoin's movement, but bitcoin has surprised the world, and even Satoshi would be surprised at what bitcoin is achieving. I bet you if we were at that point, we wouldn't have enough faith in bitcoin.

Right now, things have changed a lot, and I also believe that $100k will be the lowest we can get in the next bull season. But saying the value of bitcoin will increase without limit is an exaggeration because everything has its limit. If we pay attention, we can easily see that the volatility of bitcoin is getting smaller and smaller, and bitcoin is getting less and less profitable than in previous years. We no longer see x100, x10 profits but instead x5, x3 from bitcoin.

The match is over, and to my surprise, the match was lost by Stefanos Tsitsipas. It was a three-set match and honestly, I have to say the match was dominated by Hanfmann when we look at the first and the third set. Stefanos Tsitsipas played well in the second set. I thought in the third set it was going to be competitive. But Hanfmann took the win quite easily in the end. It was actually a little surprising result for me.

Manchester City is not going after Declan Rice anymore. So of course it is Arsenal. As we can see from the tweet of Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal is expected to get him very quickly. And honestly don’t think any other club is going to offer more than what Arsenal is offering right now.
With Declan Rice out of the way, Manchester City can now concentrate on getting other players.

Honestly, I think being more than what Arsenal is offering for Declan Rice right now is not a value for money in the end. So Manchester City made the right decision in my opinion.

I agree with @ bct_ail that on a good day, Hanfmann can be a good strong opponent for Stefanos Tsitsipas. But there is a bigger chance for Stefanos Tsitsipas to win this match against Hanfmann. And I know that Stefanos Tsitsipas has not been great on grass. But I believe he will be good enough to beat Hanfmann.

It will actually be a little surprising for me if Tsitsipas loses this match. Even though both of them are not very good on grass, I think Stefanos Tsitsipas is a little less worse when compared to Hanfmann.

For those who see bitcoin as a currency, bitcoin's erratic volatility is a real annoyance and a major barrier to bitcoin becoming a currency. But for speculators, volatility is a very useful thing, the more volatile bitcoin, the more excited they become.

As far as I can see, up to 99% of people in the market are investors, there won't be too many bitcoin supporters to become stable. And I also really doubt, will many people continue to stay with bitcoin if it becomes stable? People come to bitcoin for money rather than to support a new technology or seek privacy...profit is always their primary concern. So I highly doubt when bitcoin become stable.

What is your purpose in creating an emergency fund, and why would you hesitate to use your emergency fund when you need it? I guess you're worried about what will happen if it's used up, right? That is very easy to solve, you should use it to solve immediate problems and then quickly find other sources of income to rebuild a new emergency fund. Remember that they are made for emergency use and that their use is entirely justified. Property should not be sold during this time because everything is seriously depreciating due to inflation, and should only be sold when we have no other solution.

I think the price can actually go down a little more considering the fact that Lukaku has not been performing at all for Chelsea. There is a reason why Chelsea does not want him at all. 40 million is a little more than what they should pay for Lukaku. I think 35 million is the right amount. Chelsea cannot do anything in this situation except for being disappointed and just take the money which they are offering for him and shut up. Chelsea also knows very well that if they keep him they are just going to give him a salary for nothing. Of course, they do not want that to happen. But I will say that it was the right decision by Chelsea to sell him instead of sending him on loan because at least if they sell him they will probably get one-third of the money that they spent.


Lukaku will have to change his team permanently. He should also join Inter instead of going to some Saudi club. I heard that he does not like the money that the Saudi club is offering anyway. And I also agree that he should not experiment anymore and just go to Inter Milan. He will probably have a better career there. At least compared to what he did in Chelsea.

I think Barcelona is not going to make any big changes to the squad. Also, I believe that the speculations that they were looking into acquiring Neymar after they failed to obtain Lionel Messi are just rumors at the moment. Barcelona is actually going to be very happy if they are able to get a few free players on the team.

They should keep in mind about the salaries of the players and their financial situation. They cannot afford to bring in players who are going to take high salaries. I genuinely believe that Barcelona is not going to make any huge transfers this season because they simply cannot afford to do it.

I am pretty sure that Lukaku is going to end up playing for Inter permanently. And I actually also think that he is going to perform well for inter. That is going to increase the power of Inter which is eventually going to hurt Milan.

Milan should realise that the performance that they put on in the last season was mid. So they will have to improve their performance very quickly. And they will also have to improve the squad. All the other top teams are actually improving the squad most of the transfer market and here we have Milan, who does not have that strong of a squad, and still are not making important changes that they should.

Well, the good thing is Zimbabwe had given 15 runs extra otherwise the USA team wouldn’t have been able to reach hundred. Another sad thing is that the USA team is mostly made out of foreign players. But still, they are not being able to do well against a team like Zimbabwe who are not the most dominant even in this qualifying tournament.

Scoring 408 is absolutely a big achievement for Zimbabwe. And also, of course, winning by such a big margin is another achievement. I never really thought that the USA team would be able to reach the target. But I thought maybe they will be able to play the whole 50 overs or reach at least 200. And to my surprise, the two top scorers of the USA team are actually from the USA.

I believe Milan did the right thing. They should definitely get younger players on the team. I don’t think they should get rid of all the old players. Experience is also needed. But they definitely need young players to boost their performance for sure. The older generation is going to have a tough time keeping up against the young and fast players. If they can manage a good balance between the young and experienced generation, they will actually be able to do very well. I think this was the right decision taken by them about Eden Dzeko.

Anything can happen, if we cannot be ruled out that the bull market could start much earlier, then let's not ignore what is happening maybe just a short term rally and things will correct again. I remember when bitcoin went from $17k to $30 in March of this year, many people had the same beliefs as you do now. They think the bull season will come earlier than usual, but in the end, as we have seen, we are still in a bear market.

OP's actions should not be encouraged because we are all not the same. He has a lot of properties, and selling 2 acres of farm lands won't be too big a deal for him. If someone has a lot of possessions, they can imitate him. But for those who don't have too much money, don't follow him, it's very risky.

But what if it's a long-term investment? I mean, I'm a long term investor, so buying at the current price isn't too bad if you compare it to the $69k ATH. I am aware of the recent rally, but there is no guarantee that the price will fall back or will continue to rise from here, the market is still in a bear season but still unpredictable.
In my opinion, if you are looking for a long-term investment, buying now is not too bad, but as you said, do not put all your money into bitcoin all at once, using DCA is always the most reasonable strategy in all situations.

I was born into a poor family and did not inherit any inheritance, let alone inherit great value real estate. But I have never felt unlucky to have poor parents. On the contrary, I also feel that I am incompetent, useless when I cannot provide for my parents with a luxurious life because, without them, I would not be where I am today. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I do feel ashamed for those who rely on their parents' assets, and they not be able to make their own careers like our parents did.
If we always ask for and depend on the inheritance of our parents. Have we thought about what our children will ask of us later?

Do you agree with me that almost all news that comes to the market is unexpected and unpredictable, not only with the SEC lawsuit against Binance but also news about ETFs, which is also very surprising for us? That's also part of the reason why I don't trust the analysis or the signals the charts show us. The market is unpredictable because of the news, because of the temporary manipulation of some whales, based on the chart really makes me suspicious.

Real Madrid is certainly going to be the right decision. I think Real Madrid gives a player the option to be better or find another option if things are not working out. I know that recently we have seen a few failed transfers from Real Madrid. But I don’t think that it’s going to be the case with  Bellingham. And I think his play style is actually going to be very much in tune with Real Madrid. Real Madrid is in a rebuilding state. I think in this quite new squad he will have very good importance and also very good playing time.

There is actually no need to keep the test format as an active format of cricket, to be honest. No one is interested in this format and the teams are also not interested in playing test cricket anymore. At the same time test cricket is not something with which cricket is going to spread throughout the world as well. So I think this cricket is just a waste of time. There is no reason for only four teams to keep playing a format of cricket that no one actually cares about anymore. I honestly don’t think that the people who actually loved test cricket truly, even they actually care about this cricket anymore.

I don't trade futures, so I don't know anything about them and have no advice. But if we are long-term investors, we can buy now or wait because 2023 is not yet a real bull market. I think there will be many more corrections, and the opportunity for us to buy cheaper than current prices is still this year. But I advise people just to buy more, limit selling and wait for the price to fall back to buy because it's all guesswork, there's no guarantee the price will definitely fall again.
