I agree with this, I already experienced this before especially when I started to learn Bitcoin.
I tend to ask questions to people who got more experience because I believe as they stay longer in a thing, they more familiarize it and master it, so it means they are good on what they are doing as they know what they are doing.

If that pension fund is the only one you are relying on example, you don't have any more extra money. Then I can say, it's not safe to use that for investment in Bitcoin (even non-Bitcoin). In investing, you should be aware and always put in your mind that investment is a risk, you can't guarantee profits once you invest because no one will know what will be the future of every market.
There are a lot of people crying or disappointed because they lost money that they can't afford to lose.

This is extremely difficult to do, as a lot of people especially these new people who are coming into the Bitcoin market, their emotions sometimes are sensitive or difficult to manage.
Most newbies can relate to this. But if you just manage and train your emotion, you will become stronger and I agree with you OP, holding is better sometimes and it's already proven over time.
But for some people who have goal just to make profits, hodling is not form them as they tend to sell once they already met their price target or goal.

What vote do you mean? Do you want other people to decide when you will buy/sell Bitcoin? I don't think that is a good way to own Bitcoin or to do investments.
I think what you mean is the Bitcoin fear and greed indicator, just like what is on the image you shared. Which if you are using that as indicator, it's kinda good, just make sure the lower value of that, means a lot of pressure from seller and more or less the price is dumping.

This will be improved overtime, I believe. This is a better problem than having problems like CEX.

As you noticed, with the birth of a lot of layer-2 networks and/or layer-1, there are already a lot of people trading on-chain, even the futures market, they already started to like trading on-chain, which for me is extremely better.
The only bad side is if you are just a small trader with small capital, sometimes you will just eat by transaction fees on these chains.

Token sale during a bear market is extremely bad, with Sui Network I believe it will not be a good start for them after the sale.
And there was also issue from them about a lot of people expecting airdrop, we still don't know if it will happen as they already conducted their token sale.

Remember that Bitcoin is still a relatively young and unstable asset and that its future is uncertain.
Government restrictions and regulations may affect the currency's adoption and value, these some governments are just protecting its people but sometimes I'm against with them especially when it's about Bitcoin.

From 3 digits to 1 digit.
Since the all-time high of this altcoin, it was already dropped almost 90% from its all-time high.
I remember this before, pure hype, a lot of people talking about this and on the other side, there are a lot of people bashing this altcoin.
The risk:reward ratio of this altcoin is good if you want to make profits.

For me, this is very common especially with now a lot of social media platforms where people can interact and these people will start to make new trends based on what is really trending right then that will birth a lot of content like jokes, memes, theories, and many more.
Let's take for example the bear season and bull season, which there's no official basis of these seasons.

That's how the market behaves, it will not always "UP ONLY" even if you take a look at other markets (non-bitcoin market), there will be always different seasons, bull season, and bear season.
A bull market is not simple, in a bull market, there will be a lot of money will pour into the market during that season.

If you understand Bitcoin first, Bitcoin is decentralized, no one owns it, and no one can control it. So in terms of price, I agree that it's not being controlled by other entities too.
Like any other asset, the price of bitcoin is influenced by market supply and demand dynamics. It is influenced by a number of things, including international political and economic developments, cryptocurrency-related news, or about laws, other regulations of different governments, and many more.

OP for sure is misunderstanding how gambling works. And for sure even how much your capital for gambling is, you can't guarantee 100% that you will make profits especially since OP wants constant profits/winnings which will not really work on gambling.
Much better OP to start trying to play with a small amount (the amount that you can afford) and get back here to analyze what we are saying.

Why not buy Bitcoin and Ethereum? It got maybe low ROI but it will help you to sleep at night peacefully.
Think also other high market cap altcoins but you need to do research here. Ripple and Cardano always got issues since before. Maybe you can buy these altcoins but a small portion only, and allocate a high percentage of your portfolio to quality ones like high market cap coins.

I am not against this, especially if you found a good entry on other pairs, it's all good. It's just another strategy to potentially maximize gains while minimizing losses on cryptocurrency trading involves opening multiple trade positions.
But right now, most altcoins are just correlated with Bitcoin, so expect that altcoins will drop too once Bitcoin drop.

You got a point here, after what happened to FTX Exchange, I started to sell my Solana for other altcoins like layer 2 tokens.
And add also their network outage, because it was not the only 1 time that happened, it already happens multiple times.
Yes, the transaction fees on Solana are extremely cheap and fast, I tried the Solana network for quite some time especially participating in their DeFi platforms.

This is an already known issue of Ethereum for years now. Scalability is really the issue right now for Ethereum and that's why the birth of layer 2 networks started and it will help to scale the Ethereum network.

To be honest, Ethereum for me right now is only for whales. If you are just a person who want do use Ethereum using small funds, you will eat by these high transaction fees.

Among the list, I'm going with ARBITRUM and ETHEREUM.
Arbitrum right now is the trend, with congested Ethereum network, a lot of people are looking for alternative of Ethereum network and here comes the layer 2 network Arbitrum, and most of projects also from Ethereum already support Arbitrum now, so for me, these two altcoins right now is a must-watch!

When Bitcoin price also, I think we will start to experience a huge price hike for Bitcoin in the next short future same like Gold, Gold started from nothing.
As others say, Bitcoin is like a digital version of gold.
Take note also that when Gold started its Bitcoin ETF, that was also the time the price started to go up. So we should be aware of this kind of event too.

Sometimes when I use a 1-minute timeframe for trading, that's the only time before I enter a trade position.
For example, I trade on higher timeframes when doing most of my analysis for day trading.
Before I enter to trade, I analyze a little bit on a lower time frame like a 1-minute chart, to see and try to get and find the perfect entry.

With this kind of news, it's all a WIN for the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin will almost come here first. After that, altcoins.
After that also will lead to lot of scam projects because some could use this positive news to gain people to invest in their projects which will turn out as scams.
