Well, when something super unexpected happens nobody is ready for it at all. It is not even just about pandemic, which is a global thing that happened 100 years ago last time, so it is normal to be not ready for something like that at all, it was totally out of the blue and even if you could get ready for it a lot better, most nations turned that into political stuff and didn't want to do what is required to be safer.

Like masks and vaccinations which would have helped people save themselves, was turned into political ideology, politicians who got the vaccination went to get votes from people who didn't just for more votes. Hence, being ready wasn't the issue, not being willing was.

For a beginner in crypto space, I believe that you are in right direction. Instead of risking too much in the beginning days itself, I guess low in capital must be a great idea but you need to be high in technical analysis and need to strictly follow risk management principles to ensure similar kind of experience in upcoming days as well.

Slowly increasing your capital and accessing the nature of market like where market is heading kind of things will help to sustain for long run. Simply not rushing for profits will help you. Always have 2nd plans like trading in spot market and if market direction is not in favour then convert your trade into holding.

Everyone thought of that as it's too obvious already. Add in that $20k is not a foreign value anymore for BTC. I would only be sceptical if we are talking about those values who rarely reach by BTC or haven't been accessed it yet. BTC reaching $19k is not something that most of us are amazed of but it can only be amazing to those who are new on here. The first half of the month of January is almost done.

We still have another half. 15 days is still long so there are still a lot of things that can happen within this period. This won't be limited of course to increases or positive news but negative news can also hit us as we never saw or hear them for quite some time.

I agree that this must the last year where we could see the bitcoin prices trading below $20k levels. At the same time, I feel like it would be too early to speculate anything about six figures of bitcoin prices. Because, by history, bitcoin might need another halving to test anything beyond $100k levels.

I am personally into accumulating bitcoins for years as I never bother about the trends. Yeah, I have bought bitcoins almost everywhere from 65k to $16k levels in this current cycle.

As I already posted BCB is having completely shit policy and political engineering killing their game and golden time for having more profit from this BPL because we all know Bangladesh is currently emerging economy and many big names and brands are doing investment here which can increase facilities and many other things related to sports, but they are down and out for taking positive change from this all which is not good.

DRS and many other things surely now needs to have good and fair results and this will also bring good intention from big players as well which needs to be done with this they also can increase their white ball pool which is necessity of the time because without this Bangladesh cricket will be suffered, and good investment will also increase their red ball game which is also important for the development of this game in this country.

Few months back there were few signals that Afghani authorities will soften their policies and bring better things for the country and youths of this country but recent development showing nothing happening, and we will have some dilemma for the Afghan cricket because this can cause ban on them or any other problem can happen which could be not good for the country and game because in last few months we have few good exciting players from this country, and they can do better in near future as well.

As in current situation they are not allowing women's for higher education which is surely more important than game I have feeling they will not allow this all and bring any soft policy for the women's cricket and few countries will try to have stick action against this situation which is not good.

Maybe that's what they need? I mean it's obvious that they are not doing awesome, it's obvious that we are talking about a bad situation and people might wonder "why would they need to lose?" but the reality is that you can't get better before you hit the bottom. Sevilla may not go down, maybe their bottom was this and they will stay, but they need to have a few bad seasons in their entire history to go back wanting never to be there again.

Every generation all teams has to have like some terrible year, some great teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid wouldn't have bad years like THIS bad, but could be like 4th or 5th once every 20-30 years, and that would be a way to get better.

I think it is a bit about coca cola advertisement type of deal. Do we not know them? Are we hearing about them for the first time on TV when they have a commercial? Of course not, they are the biggest brand in drinking world and they are world famous and I doubt that there are anyone out there who do not know their name.

But, they keep using it, does it make you want to drink at that moment? Rarely, it is not really there. Then why do they even do it? Because if they don't, and other drink companies keep doing it, then other companies will get more and more customers. Same with signature campaign, it's not there to get customers right away, it's there to keep you in good position.

Trying to be very rich, very quickly is a hard sell and it will cause a lot of trouble. I have to say that the best thing to do would be making sure that you end up with a big plan for a long term. It's not going to be easy fix and it's going to take a while for anyone to handle it, but it will also be something very important for everyone to handle. If you could achieve such a thing then you are going to end up with a good profit, because long term is the way to make money in this market.

I know not a lot of people think of the long term as a way to profit, but that's the case, since you can't bring in 500 dollars and turn that into 5 million dollars in a week, why not try 30 years? That suddenly makes it possible.

First successful world cup and now having player like Cristiano Ronaldo mean things are going to be at this best for the Gulf soccer because we all know they have enough resources and investment which can bring top quality players from around the world into this region even few human rights activates are still chanting against them but no one caring about this all because players are having money beyond their thinking and now with the arrival of Ronaldo doors are also wide open for the success of them here in gulf region.

Before this contract things were surely not clear because before signing he tries his best for having any suitable club but sadly fail to arrange any better settlement and at the end of the day he decided about this which is surely perfect and having great revolutionary change for the Saudi Arab soccer and Gulf Soccer which is suddenly on the moon and now can take good advantage of this all with too many other players are also ready to player here in these clubs.

I think it was basically a revenge situation. It could be coming from inside FTX or anyone that has connections to them and to the media at the same time and they are basically doing what should be done in the first place and attacking back to those teams now.

But, the reality is that Binance never had any issues and will never have any issues like this, they are a legit company and have always been one and all these rumours about them not being safe is just made up stuff to make us all leave binance and hurt them. I guarantee you that if there was something big going on there we would hear about it no doubt and it would not be just a maybe, it will be all out in the open.

I think his main point is to compare on-chain casinos between off-chain casinos, where on-chain casinos doesn't store money on their personal accounts but they prepare a different address which they don't totally control. It's more like a decentralized one. Off-chain casinos on the other hand works the opposite. It's more of a centralized because the casino can do anything they like to the coins that we deposit on our accounts or on their accounts rather.

There's only a mistake there when he said "None" because I am sure that he already heard about stake and it's reputation due to how big this casino. Stake is still safe but we should always be vigilant because who knows, they might change later on.

Trading is a much much better way to make profit if you know how to trade, it's not even close, you could make 50x more trading than holding if you are a good trader, and that's just for one year, if you know how to trade and do it for a few years then we are talking about tons of difference and not even close. This means you should learn how to trade and how to be a good trader.

However, if you are not good at it, then it's not smart to make this type of decisions and just hold it. That's where holding becomes better because when you are hodling you are basically making bigger differences and better results since trading would be a terrible way if you don't know how to trade.

I think instead of countering crypto, they just want to take advantage of the hype crypto has. If governments promote crypto, and also have CBDC then people would invest into it, and give their money for it. Which would mean billions of dollars in governments treasury, and yeah they would give that back if you sell your CBDC, but some other person would buy it, so keep promoting crypto and in return there would be more money in the nations bank basically.

It's not a bad idea, it's not there to counter it but there to take advantage of the situation. I believe it would help the nation so much, it's like free money printed and they could use it too, nobody would bat an eye if they spend it neither, because they could simply print more later on.

It's true that it's not worth investing right now and it will not be worth it in the future neither. It's just not a good investment and anyone who thinks that they could make a profit from it will not be happy when they see prices of all else go up, and their memecoin doesn't get up that much because it was only high for a moment due to hype and it's no longer hyped hence why it's not going up anymore.

I believe that the best thing to do would be staying away from it if we can, not going to be simple to make profit with other stuff, like bitcoin because it doesn't go up that much, but it will be possible if we wait for it just a few years. Takes longer but at least realistic approach.

This thought experiment is not for questioning "if" Elon will do something like this or not. This is more about assuming he did it, and then starts afterwards and the question is would you support it.

I think it's not going to be something I can trust, dude is a weirdo and I do not trust people who act like that, it's better to be investing into something where I can see the owner as predictable, like Jeff Bezos is an asshole but at least he is predictable, he will do whatever he can to make a profit. That's why it's going to be not so easy to trust Elon, because he is unpredictable, and I do not want my money to turn into dust one day because he said some weird stuff.

I can easily say that I knew what I was doing when I survived, but I would be lying. I am just a very very lazy person, and I mean like seriously lazy, in history books type of lazy. This resulted with me not cashing out all my bitcoins when I earn them (work for bitcoin as salary) meaning I always have some bitcoins saved up.

I didn't end up selling them, didn't get much of anything else, got paid in some other coins and tokens here and there, and I just kept them. Didn't want to trade much, did that for a while and go bored, so I just kept it. So, suddenly I was a super smart long term holder who made a good profit when the reality was just being lazy.

It does happen commonly but not to a huge name like this. Not because he is famous, even famous people could get hacked, but because he is famous for being a bitcoin developer. Dude knows how to be safe, and yet he was still hacked and he doesn't even know how he was hacked neither.

I believe that the best thing to do would be letting him handle whatever he wants to handle to get the answers, give him full access to everything and find the issue. Because, if there is a hole somewhere that hackers could use to hack him, they could 100% hack all of us, if he couldn't protect himself, there is absolutely no way that we could ever protect ourselves better than he did.

But, it is not looking great if we all put our money in same places all the time. It's just not easy to understand why centralization gradually happened, and it was organically made as well and not like anything regulation needed. Most of the bitcoins and anything of worth in crypto ended up in either binance or coinbase, a few other exchanges too but that's mainly it, millions and millions there.

There are some rich people with 100k+ bitcoins as well, so once again 1% have all the money. I am not saying they own it, binance and coinbase doesn't own it, but its still there, making it centralized and giving them power.

That is quite true. NFT has this amazing potential to be huge but it is not using it and that causes it to be so low. I believe that if people can find the true purpose of it, then it should be a lot more possible for it to grow and that would be helpful but it can't be just "I own this image", that is not good enough at all and won't work.

I believe something much bigger should be done and the best way to do it would be experiments. New project should use the NFT coding and do something more, images, movies, real estate, music, and more and more. If we keep trying hard for more things then there is a chance that one of them will hit big eventually.
