I would not even go as far as to compare Bitcoin with altcoins, lol...

I admit to trading altcoins to leverage my Bitcoin sometimes but I deeply believe that the only reliable and trustworthy store of value is Bitcoin.

But altcoins have fascinating functions which the blockchain of Bitcoin does not support. DeFi being the most interesting one. And if you go by that popularity as a reason for investment then at least pick only from the most popular altcoins which rank in the very top on coinmarketcap.  The lower in rank you go, the riskier the investment becomes, not only because the project might be bad but because of low liquidity, you might never be able to retrade your BTC back (or at least a part).

All the altcoins you have mentioned, are considered by myself as extremely risky. I would keep away.

Well, of course that is true for the purchase of 1 BTC But not what I meant. Luckily we can break Bitcoin up into smaller parts and still call it Bitcoin, but it can become confusing whether we mean a whole Bitcoin or just Bitcoin in general. In my own case I meant it in general.

And I think that everyone here would agree with me that 100k for a Bitcoin is a steal, when considering its future potential.

If Bitcoin is too expensive then you should have bought sooner!    

Furthermore I would argue that the topic title should be: "Not enough money for Bitcoin? Then buy Satoshis." Because the value of both Bitcoin and Satoshi scale, so you are buying BTC at the same Satoshi price as you would be at buying Satoshis. If you consider Bitcoin has a too high price-tag then so do the Satoshi.

Although I would also argue that Bitcoin under 100k is not expensive.

While I have also heard of methane being used to generate electricity (which can of course be used to mine Bitcoin), I have never heard of landfill methane being anything other than an anecdotal energy source. There is not enough raw material for the concept to scale up to something bigger. And good for that, because we would need to produce a lot of organic trash.

And that sounds like a whole other problem.

Why January?

Considering the price of Bitcoin after all those disasters has been steadily gaining value, once we get into the clearing, Bitcoin will see an amazing growth once nothing is holding it back.

But for that to happen we really need to consider getting away from using decentralized money on centralized exchanges/platforms.

The ETF approval news will be huge, though. I suspect a very nice pump.

DCA strategy be damned, now is the time to fill your bags. Anyone left straggling
behind after the ETF approval news comes out has only themselves to blame.

For most of us, watching the governments struggle against Bitcoin and fail repeatedly was a historical experience. It really highlights how unstoppable and incorruptible Bitcoin is. The corrupt are panicking because there is nobody to threaten, nobody to bribe and nobody to blame. Satoshi Nakamoto did good in hiding his identity, otherwise he would have spent his life going from courtroom to courtroom before the government even let him see the inside of a prison cell. I mean can you imagine how much the money printers (the government) must hate the founder of Bitcoin?

^Basically this.

Also, 40 bucks for an article that you can read for free on Sci-Hub? Lol what a steal. Does OP get an affiliate commission or something?

Just remember to listen to your gut feeling, and most importantly, always make sure you are following common sense. Those two things will keep you very safe. However, if you slacken the security, then you might find yourself in trouble.

Most scams are built very poorly and lazily. And this is the most important identifying mark of a scam project. A professional project will have put in a large amount of work, and therefore money, into every detail. Also, they will try to make sure that their business is completely transparent. The same goes for their team members. There are no anonymous team members. They should vouch for the project with their real identity, and they should be able to prove that they are who they say they are. A scammer usually would not waste money or time on a scam project.

Neither luck nor skill are part of gambling. Luck does not exist, that lets just get that out of the way. And skill? Well perhaps in some cases skill could shift the probabilities in your favor but in the end, you cannot have a higher winning probability than the house. Otherwise casinos would go bankrupt in a matter of minutes.

I think that whenever we start creating superstitions, all we are doing is lying to ourselves. The end result is always gambling more than you intended, so it is quite a counterproductive practice. I really do not recommend it.

A lot of online gambling casinos tend to notice the trend of confused newbies and therefore they usually offer practice games. You can play them to try out the game itself and get a feel for it. So whatever you do, don't just start off with real money if you don't understand how the game works. But it is your money, so.. you do you.

What kind of casinos are you hoping to try out? Go ahead and share the names, just in case someone from the community has something to say about mentioned casinos.

I think the most disappointing thing about offline casinos is that they are trying to be offline but at the same time, digitized.

Let me explain what I mean with an example : you go into a casino in Las Vegas and sit down to play slots. Except the machine won't accept change or dollars, it only accepts pre-paid deposits on some BS membership card. Later you decide to try Blackjack, but you quickly learn that the Blackjack table is now a computer screen on a different machine. All this is very disappointing and different from how you remember the casino experience, even a decade ago.

You decide to go home and gamble on your own computer screen. The end.

At least, that is how I feel about the current state offline gambling casinos.

Geist über Materie, Bitcoin über Papiergeld.

Erklärung: Solange man Fiat noch für Bitcoin tauschen kann, ist der Bitcoin-Preis komplett unwichtig. Ich bin absolut zuversichtlich, dass Fiat in Zukunft nicht mehr existieren wird und es sich eher lohnt, sich jetzt schon mal für die Zukunft abzusichern. Während des Bärenmarkts lohnt sich der Bitcoin-Kauf am meisten.

I would argue that if you keep moving your coins from wallet to wallet, at some point sooner or later, you will most likely encounter a security problem or make a human mistake. The second one being more likely.

Luck is a completely unrealistic concept which does not exist in our world. Otherwise we would be able to measure luck, just as we measure everything else that exists. Instead of luck, probability is the realistic, scientific term.

The probability of winning something can be calculated. Luck cannot.

But you could take advantage of people who think that they can summon luck, if you were a casino owner. Food for thought.

I doubt it will happen this year. There is only one month left, after all.

Although it will happen. The next time will probably be on the way to 100k. So I do not recommend thinking that 69k will be the limit for next time. Bitcoin is no longer a low liquidity asset which can be toyed around by a few millionaires. The volatility is not as drastic as it used to be. But that also means it takes longer for the price to reach new heights.

I would not recommend futures trading to anyone, whether beginner or veteran. It is never worth it because the liquidation spreads are impossible to dodge forever. And it only takes one liquidation event for your whole wallet to go to 0.

If you trade on spot then at least you can hodl any bad trades as long as you like. You only lose when you sell.

But the best advice I can give you is to train using imaginary coins first, instead of real money. For a beginner its a better option because you will probably lose your money otherwise.

I do not think that anyone here can call themselves truly disciplined. I think of myself as disciplined but I have my moments of weakness. But there are things that you can do to ensure you do not gamble your money away foolishly. Cold storage of the daily gambling funds by a family member or trusted friend could perhaps help you out, if you feel like you would not be able to resist by yourself.

The problem here is not that you should avoid trading crypto in real person but rather trade crypto in real in a place where you won't be dragged away against your will. Don't use your real name and don't give anyone info about yourself. Hire security if you have to.

AND

Do not flaunt your wealth. I cannot express how dumb a person would have to be to tell strangers about their millions of dollars worth of crypto. If someone threatens your life, then obviously chances are that you will give them your keys. So why give anyone the chance to know if you're worth stealing from?

I really don't get some people.
