For making a speculation here, we do not need your background or anything personal but just backing details which could be playing the supportive role for your statements.

I agree that bitcoin may test $100k in February but before that we need some governments to be announcing bitcoin as legal tender or anything similar to that so that we could see the bitcoin prices doubling in next 30 to 60 days of time. Did you wall street friend share any reasons for ATH in February?

Peron sally I am also confident about $100k in 2022 but by the times of mid or second quarter of 2022. My backing reasons are whales' manipulation and more institutions to be joining into bitcoin investments with long term plans.

I don’t know why some people always feel regret when they see things like this. That you missed the opportunity to hold for long and become a millionaire now doesn’t mean that you are not going to get that kind of opportunity any longer. The question is what plans have you laid in place this time around to help you get to that level in the next years to come, or are you still the same person that you were years ago?

There is still the same opportunity to get rich through Bitcoin. I started around 2013, I was neither sure of where Bitcoin was going to end up, and I was not able to hold for long. But, I learnt my lesson in 2017 and I never made the same mistake this time around, and I am also not going to be making the same mistake in the next halving that would come. It’s up to you.

I would say that there will always be at least one person per casino that talks about how that casino is a scam. Doesn't matter which casino, if you have nobody calling you a scam then you are not a good casino at all. Sometimes they just do it for attention, sometimes they do it because they do not know how to stop, sometimes they do it because it is something they can't understand how gambling works.

I have seen so many people calling dice websites a "scam" just because they lost 10+ times in a row on 50% chance, they keep saying how little chance it should be, one said 37 losses in a row should be "impossible" and that was a reason for them to call the casino a scam. They will just keep doing it, we just keep ignoring it. Unless someone has valid proof of a scam, nobody will care about these people and what they are saying.

Spurs on their way to 8th seed by the looks of it, three wins in a row! That's great to see from them, I expected them to be better by next year but they are showing how they are still good even this year. I know that most people talk about the top teams and how they are good and when I talk about the 10th team in west as good some of you may feel weird.

However, as a person who had a chance of 20 years in a row dominant team, having a team that is not dominant at all was a weird feeling of love. I mean we never really had to say "I was a fan during bad days too", even Lakers fans had that but Spurs never had it until a few years ago when Kawhi left. On contrast, Lakers look like they are closer to 10th seed nowadays . I mean not to be happy about it but I would say I rather see Spurs in playoffs than Lakers if that's what we got.

If you ask me, I would say that risk management must be more important for trading compared to technical analysis. You could buy signals to skip your technical part but you cannot bypass the requirement of risk management while trading.

Technical analysis will help you to spot out the exact entry/exit price levels whereas risk management will ensure your sustainability along with your capital amount. Risk management covers lots of aspects of trading which include emotional things as well hence ignoring risk management may not result in preferred out come from trading.

If you are not good in technical analysis then you will get trapped. Selling around ATH may sound like an easier one but practically I will not risk because I am making enough money with a long term holding. Even if I decide to follow your suggestions then I may go for only 10% of bitcoin holding and definitely not for all of my bitcoins.

That must be a good practice. Everyone must be having some personal goal even they are declaring themselves as a lifetime holder, but if you target only for short term target and if you exit then you may need to remain regretting about your small target because bitcoin is continuously appreciating which may remain same for next 100 years as well.

Unfortunately there are thousands of people dying every single day, it is just very upsetting to see that happen, but it just happens and we have to accept the fact that we are not doing enough to stop this. Normally in a perfect world, we would have a situation where everyone would stay either at home, or a place work provides and everyone keeps doing everything without ever getting close to each other and everything stops.

We just do bare minimum working to survive, like grocery stores and hospitals would still work, but even grocery stores would turn online and nobody has to leave their house and everything would be perfectly ready.

Truckers and shelf fillers and all of that retail workers would end up working separately and never around each other, and all of them would be provided with either a car, or another way of transportation so they wouldn't meet with anyone, everyone else would be at home, working online, and we would do this for 6 months globally with lockdown and not a single soul would be allowed to not get vaccinated. In that case we would see under 100 death per day, instead of 10k, but unfortunately we are not ready for that, even a few months almost caused riots and that was even without vaccination.

Investing into "new" projects is a bit vague if you ask me. I mean it could be "brand new" in crypto while being 6 months old, or it could be "released a week ago" as well, or even haven't released yet but did an IGO or something. So, "new" is a bit vague in that sense, how new? I have invested into projects in their first 6 months plenty of times, I have invested very rarely right during or a week in their release period, but I nearly never invested into anything that wasn't released just yet.

ICO, STO, IEO, IGO and all that is not what I am after, those are always way too risky for me, I did it only a few times with very tiny amounts but never really found any success with them. This is why I try to keep seeing how they release, I do not even care about what they promise in the future because they may fail, I invest for what it is, not what it could be.

Because they feel powerful whenever they say something and defend it. There is nothing you could do to change their minds because they believe that they are great and they are never wrong and that's at least the act they put on. They would not be able to find any solution to any problem in the world, we have seen absolutely zero improvement in nations for decades now, every politician in every nation works to just get themselves richer and that's it.

If they ever do anything that looks good, that is mainly because they want to get rich from it and that's it. They build a bridge? They get tens of millions of dollars bribe in it, they build a road? They get paid, they start a hospital? They put their family members as workers. No politician has done something that was 100% purely good in many decades. Hence they do not care if they know what CBDC is or if I they are right, they just care to get popular and get richer.

The difference between shiba and lottery is that you are guaranteed to lose money in lottery (nearly) because it is one in a trillion type of deal, and yes there is a very very tiny chance that you could win, a chance that is less likely then lightning hitting you but there is a chance, whereas in shiba you have a better and bigger chance.

However, it is an investment asset, you invest on it, with gambling you do not invest, you know your money is gone and you act accordingly, whereas when you are investing you are hoping to make a profit. Maybe you would buy some shiba thinking that is a gamble but there are so many people who buy shiba because they believe they could make a profit. That is the risky part about it, the more you buy, the more hyped others who truly believe they could make a profit end up buying as well and they are losing way more than a ticket price.

Ever since I was 7 years old, I knew that I would not become someone who did this. I knew that I wanted to do something a lot bigger, if I fail then so be it because I rather fail at doing something unique then have a mediocre life doing something boring.

My father worked in a company as a manager for 23 years, before that he worked 5 years as regular worker, few years as entry and few years at a bit higher, then 13 years as assistant manager and 10 years as manager and then he "retired" officially but kept working for another 5 years as "consultant" as well. That is his whole life story, he worked about 32 years total and then he actually retired, my parents moved to another city with seaside and great view and basically all around a good life.

All thanks to my father working 32 years, but he did absolutely nothing risky in his entire life. I rather be poor than be like my father. This is why I keep trying my hand at new projects and create a few of my own so far, I love my regular job, but at the side once a year or so I try something new, it just the way I am.

I assume that gas fee for BSC will be able to drop ver yeasily, it doesn2t require the hard work that ETH needs to do in order to drop. If Binance decides that they will add in 100 more validators of their own, increase the server structure and then suddenly we are capable of doing 5x faster. That's all it needs, there is nothing that would be very complicated for binance to handle and it would be very easy for all of us as well.

ETH has a different problem, even if you want to, you can't change anything and that means gas fee will stay like that. The upside for ETH is that, it means they are decentralized and nobody could change it, even for good, whereas binance is capable of making it better very easily which is good, but it means centralization. So things are not the same there, I would assume that decentralization is much better even when you are paying higher gas fee.

I get that some people could be worried about the new variants but why do we have to look at the very short term at all times. This covid situation will be over one day, god bless we are still alive at least the ones who are reading this, we have lost too many people to this and I hope that we do not lose anymore but daily we still get so many deaths.

However, eventually this will end, we are not going to live with covid forever, which means that after that is done, we are going to have a life without covid and no new strains or even strains won't matter. So, we should not look at what crypto could do during covid but should be focusing on the future and how it will be profiting us even after covid is done.

There is a saying from scammers "I have never scammed anyone who didn't want to scam me" and that's true for most cases. If you are looking to scam people and you found someone who believes that they could get something very valuable from you for very cheap, they are trying to scam you as well. Why would you be able to pay 1k dollars to someone and get 100 dollars each month forever? That's a very believable scam because the amount is low and yet people still fall for it.

All in all I have to say there are some cases of scamming that was deservedly done, I know I should not be victim shaming, but it is not like stealing money from old lady situation, we are talking about young and smart people who got too greedy and went into risky stuff just because they wanted to get rich quick and ended up getting scammed, that's a bit of their fault as well isn't it?

Imagine what could happen if those huge companies like EA or 2K or Rockstars and so forth end up using blockchain technology in their games. Imagine what would happen if they created their own tokens and instead of gamers buying items with fiat in those games, we would have tokens that people could use to purchase in game stuff. I am not even getting into the whole mobile gaming world, they are literally making money based on that alone, selling in game stuff.

So, we are just building games for blockchain right now, and eventually blockchains will be built for games and when that reverse happens we are going to talk about something huge. I am not saying it will be huge tomorrow, but all those huge gaming companies keep making games and adding their own tokens into that project will make it 100x bigger and that is where we will start to make some money.

There are plenty of ways to make a profit in crypto world, trading is definitely one of them. Is it the safest way? Obviously not, it involves a ton of risk and it would be very risky for someone very new to get in with a lot of money and start trading recklessly with the hopes of making a lot of money. During the hyped bull run periods we keep seeing people who get into crypto and do make a profit, I have seen people with a few thousand dollars get into crypto and get out with hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hyped periods like start of 2021 for example.

But this is not very common in crypto, newbies do not make that much money at all times and that is why trying to replicate what those people did is a big risk. However, is it "possible"? It certainly is possible and it has been a way of making money for so many people now for the past 5+ years.

Hey, I am not ready to agree with this. I believe holders are still a influencing factor like anything market on deciding the direction of market. Probably bitcoin is something unique with its supply system; bitcoin's supply at every 10 minutes might be leading to neutralize the power and effectiveness of holders; which is the reason it is seeming like long term holders are not playing any role on direction of market. Still, I am not ready to consider it is unfair.

For example, in other markets with no regular supply on daily or monthly supply; when someone is selling and then traders and investors may decide anything which again makes long term holders powerless. So, basically all the markets are working similar and bitcoin market is also checking all the boxes of basics of one perfect trading environment hence nothing unfair here just because of bitcoin markets.

Having stuck at 57k again shows that bitcoin is not ready for a full on bull run, but it is not ready for a drop neither. I do not know what I could say what could happen but the reality is that we could possibly end up with something that is much higher if we could simply break over the real trouble price. Every time we go up, there is a reason to draw back and that sort of what will happen again if we fail to keep going up.

I get that support price or resistance could be broken, that is why they are there and they should be broken otherwise we would just get stuck at a price and would never move at all, but sometimes it is harder than others, such as right now for example.
