selling at $120k is dependent on what your investment plan is and waiting for bitcoin to get to $1M is something that is individual dependent but for me, i still think we are still far behind to start making plans for $1M. whenever bitcoin climbs a new ATH, discussion like this always comes up but one thing to always take out of the frequency of this is that we will continue to have new ATH and the urge to sell will always come but the issue is going to be that we have to be resolved enough to know that selling of ones bitcoin should not depends on when there is a new ATH. as an investor, set your investment plan and ensure you follow it up to the latter without being dragged here and there whenever bitcoin moves a certain direction.

The first issue with such comparison is the usage of crypto to mean everything in the crypto space including bitcoin as well as mixing up investment with trading. assuming the comparison is with regards crypto trading almost being like gambling, then it becomes understandable but for someone that is invested in bitcoin for instance, the degree of risk is practically unmatched because if you don't rush to sell, it is even possible to conclude that there is no loss with  bitcoin investment at all.

you do not engage in crypto for the sake of fun or all, your purpose of investing in crypto is because you want to get profit from your investment. your level of certainty with the proposed returns you can get from crypto far surpasses what you can get from gambling. shitcoin and meme coin can to an extent be termed gambling with what you put into them but bitcoin and some altcoins do not fall under this category especially when you are not a trader.

That thread has  been running for a long time even before bitcoin got to $100k. some participant don't take it serious until they see the market getting bullish and they start to regret failing to buy using the DCA method at the time they hard the opportunity of doing so. normally, opportunity present itself to us every now and then but the issue has always been that we tend to assume that we always have time and sometimes procrastinate till it eventually becomes way too late.

Even now, it is not too late to buy, we are still far from where we will get to in the future so, failing to buy now will still yield more regret in the future because bitcoin will still become far more bullish than what we have now.

deliberate losing ke? when they even have injury problem that they are battling with? now that palmer is no long in the squad due to injury, they will now have another excuse if they fail to get a good result from this game. Chelsea have been losing consistently and if they continue in this manner, there champions league journey might end up becoming a thing of ridicule with more bad result that is on the way.

the champions league is not a ground for unserious team that are not good at taking chances and for that, Chelsea will certainly struggle with how inconsistent they have been.
 

the reality is that at least 60% of gamblers drinks and some addicted ones are also addicted to gambling. regardless of how many times we still talk about this, addiction is addiction and whatever form it takes, be it gambling or alcohol, they are still very bad. being a gambling addict will affect you financially, emotionally and wreck you. combining that lifestyle with alcohol is going to worsen things up for you and get you into a mess you will struggle a lifetime to come out of. every thing we do requires an high level of moderation or else, ruin becomes inevitable.

This is not supposed to be a conversation in the first place because it is even foolishness to allow a third party get access to your seed phrase. it is not even a matter of right or wrong because when you talk about right, it will make it look like a third party have any access to your seed phrase.

My coin is my coin and mine alone. my seed phrase is mine and mine alone. unlike the centralized banking system where some of your private information is held by banks, with bitcoin, you are your own everything and no one has the right to ask you for information related to it regardless the reason they bring forward.

It will depend largely on the whale in question that is selling off. investors and whales in general can sell their bitcoin at whatever time they feel like doing so and depending on the worth of coin they are selling, the market might react too much to it. the personality of the whale is now a bigger consideration when we talk about whales selling off their holding and it is now the big deal as long as whale making sales is concerned.

Every serious sell that result in a DIP is now seen as an opportunity to even buy a larger fraction of bitcoin considering that a DIP makes it possible to buy bitcoin at a cheaper rate. investors now know better that no single person controls bitcoin and so, an exit of one whale even opens up opportunity for other investors to come into the system.

it is just because of the fact that traders always assume that quick profit is easily attainable through their short term trades that they try to get some sort of justification that suggest that trading is the way to go. trading goes well with the phrase, easy come, easy go and that is what traders always encounter which is not actually wise if you are someone that is hoping to get a good returns in the long run. an investor might not have all the profit there is to be gotten at a short period of time but there is always a guarantee that his investment is secured and that the asset he is holding will not go down in less than no time.

continuous buying of bitcoin regardless of the market condition and not wishing for any slight bull to sell off ones holding takes away any form of pressure from the investor such that his long term profit becomes guaranteed.

The very idea of an Average as used when describing dollar cost average is that you are going to be at the DIP, at some peak and some relatively middle price range in the process of your accumulation. all combined together makes up your total dollar cost average because if for instance you are buying every week and you intend doing so for a period of five years, during that period, you are going to experience everything that comes with bitcoin and within that period, you are going to buy the DIP which is a better way of buying during the DIP rather than waiting for so long just because you want to buy the DIP.

A four year investment plan for instance, is a long period of time that allows you to buy your bitcoin using a combination of all the investment strategy. waiting for a comfortable DIP before buying is a waste of time and from how the price of bitcoin has remained relatively stagnant for a long period of time, it tells of how long you might likely continue waiting for a DIP that might instead of coming result to an increase in the value of bitcoin which will only mean that you have to wait for a longer period of time.

Anything that is addictive requires some level of checks and balance by external agencies or else abuse continues to increase in the long run. on the part of the casino owners, an increase in the numbers of addict will result to an increase in the revenue they will generate and so, it is not going to be of serious concern even though gamblers are becoming addicted. the underaged can also bypass the minimum age bracket for eligibility to gambling and so, a check will still be a good way of ensuring that such are tightened  and that responsible gambling is encouraged.

Individual freedom comes with a level of limitation so, as much as you want to give gamblers the freedom to do what they feel like doing, you want to also ensure that they are regulated such that their excesses is curtailed.

It is better to stick with a reputable casino that does not have too much bonuses than going after one that does not have good reputation only because they have a flashy bonus that is attractive but at the same time is in the form of a trap. most of the casinos that have difficult KYC are not doing it just because they are after the safety of gamblers, rather, they are doing it as a form of trap to get at gambling that might be found wanting in any of that regard. it is mostly when you are winning most times that they cook up stories when you are about to withdraw what you have won.

what is the difference between what those tout are doing and what our security men are doing on the way? it is same thing. both of them stands on the road to extort money from drivers and business owners without using the money to solve any problem that is associated with the people they are taxing. this is not just a port Harcourt thing, in all the part of the nation we have them around and some lazy youth have turned that into their daily job instead of going out to make themselves useful in the society.

The government, the security operatives and these boys are same and that is why they are allowed to operate without fear and caution because they know that no one will penalize them for their excesses. our officers are literally tout on uniform so there's no way we can differentiate one is doing from what the others are doing.

don't talk about wars as though they are simple thing just because you want to paint bitcoin as the best asset, if war breaks out and really affects you to a degree that your physical asset can be endangered, believe me that you will get frustrated to a point where the amount of bitcoin you are holding will not matter much to you compared to staying alive.

Crypto especially bitcoin is a safe haven and a good asset for investment but it worth is not defined only when you downgrade other asset to the point of wishing those holding it bad. when there is ever an international crisis, it hits almost all the asset be it those that are digital asset as well as those that are physical assets. war is a bad thing no one should wish for because when it comes, nothing else maters apart from thriving to stay alive.

Investor Holding their bitcoin is for several reasons and part of it is that they are not ready to sell In loss and probably are hoping that by holding for the long run, the value of bitcoin will continue to increase which will in the process help to place them in a greater profit.

Being scared to sell is not entirely a bad thing as long as you're doing so to protect yourself. If you sell too early, you're going to end up being at loss. The future might seems uncertain but yet, it's still safer holding your coin for the future than selling it too soon because of fear.

If you must sell your device as a second hand product to a third party, even if you're not completely certain of the security of your device after you've given it out, it's still safer to clear all your data first before giving it out. Not everyone that gets that device has the technicality to bring back already deleted items.

I've sold my items and the thing I do is to restore the phone to factory setting before pushing it out and when I'm selling it I always sell it to someone I know very well and that way, it also reduce the possibility of any form negative things happening to your security as a result of selling your device to a third party.

who considers gambling without losing of money as an addictive lifestyle in the first place? regardless how frequent the individual indulge in the act of gambling, as long as he is not losing money, it will not be a thing of concern other than the fact that he will be seen as someone that is just wasting his time. addiction in the context of gambling is usually money related and not time related. i know that there are some people that can be better called gamers who spend all their times playing games and eventually getting addicted to it and it affect other areas of their life and leads to reduction in their productivity. that is a different thing on it own but gambling alone that does not involve the loss of money is not a thing that is of a serious concern to even the person that is involved in the act.

gambling influencers you say? i can literally think of a dozen of them off hand especially in the entertainment industry that always promote for one gambling platform or the other. the one that is a bit hard to find is those that are the actual owners of the casino. what i find out is that majority of them that owns casino try to keep themselves from directly related to the business for the sake of their reputation should things go wrong.

at least 80% of footballers directly or indirectly joins in the promotion of gambling casinos which is part of the means through which they earn some decent amount of cash from.

Do you just believe in the potential of a coin just because it is being promoted on the news? what happens if it is just a paid promotion which is usually the case and the person promoting it is neither investing in the coin nor knows much about it, are you not going to encounter loss trying such a risky thing? in a time where people invest so much in advertisement and push out narrative that are not completely true, you don't just believe things just because you see it on the news.

As an investor, if for any reason you want to invest in an altcoin, you have to do your own research first and be sure that you have cleared any form of doubt in your mind before investing in them. as long as it is not bitcoin, then only invest after you have done proper research.

Even if it is becoming difficult to tell a persons degree of knowledge just by the degree he presents, Degrees are testament that validate a persons knowledge in a certain field of study be it engineering, medicine, economy and every other minor area you might think of. the university setting is just passing through a stage where it looks like it lacks vision as to how to effectively train young graduate to become easily included into the working space. if there is the slightest improvement in the educational system, then a certified engineer, economist, medical doctor or any professional will always be a better suit for jobs that one that has not gone through that setting.

Bitcoin has helped me to have a better understanding of what finance is all about and this is in addition to the fact that it has made me to be  more financially buoyant. i do not have to worry about ways i can use in making transaction that are off borders and definitely with bitcoin, investment for me is now an easy thing and i can comfortably invest a huge amount of money into bitcoin without anyone having an idea that i hold such chunk of an asset. it also opens up the deficiency that is associated with the banking system and helps one to know the advantage of being in total control of your asset.
