I would guess that the cycles are growing smaller as well. Like when it moved from just under a dollar to over 30 dollars that was x30+ and more, which means when it moved from 100 bucks or so to 1400 dollars in 2014 that was also a bit 14x give or take, and when it moved from 700 dollars to 20k that was about a good chunk I will have to agree with that, but then we moved from 10k to 60k which was just 6x, 7x if you count 68k as 70k.

As we can see, people who are investing now, will still make a good money, better than any stock they can pick or gold, but it wouldn't be as good as the early birds who made x100 and then some on their bitcoin if they are still holding it.

We have two European leagues on same level and mostly dominating by only two teams which are Bayern Munich here in Germany and PSG in French League things could be not different in future for them as they are still in good shape and having few quality players those are going to do something good in this Bundesliga even Champions League is completely different but here no team is in good shape even Borussia Dortmund was having some good preparation but sadly due to Haller issue now they are badly down and have few chances for surviving at top.

Start is also good for both teams with Borussia Dortmund beats Leverkusen and Bayern Munich completely destroy his opponent. There were few expectations from Leipzig, but we have to wait for their results in next few rounds so can they give challenge to any top team.

In last few weeks, we are having some good changes in Nick Kyrgios, and now he is doing amazing game after losing final against Djokovic in Wimbledon now he is on winning streak and with this win against Medvedev now his confidence and game is on their high level if he is going to play like this for some more time then surely he is going to be at top with some great results and here in this tournament he can win his second title in a row.

Medvedev is surely one of the best player in current era but sadly due to some trouble and restrictions he is facing some trouble, but soon he can fight back and can give his best for the game.

I do agree that taking over bitcoin is something that ethereum will not do for a long time. I am not saying that it is impossible but that is too much of a goal for it right now. Best thing is to go up together, maybe after 2.0 it could have a good increase that will see them closer.

At some point, it reached to a point where it was just double the marketcap and we believed that it was getting there, with the proof of stake increase, if the gas price stays low when there is a lot of attention then it could actually get enough people to spend their ethereum as well. But that doesn't change the fact that it will be a tough thing to achieve for now.

The main reason for that is the fact that we have seen a lot of them claim something like this before and fail, and since we saw them fail before, that ends up causing us to not believe that they would do it now. I do agree that it is not going to be easy, but it could be done. I mean maybe it hasn't been done before, but if you do legal leeway, like not force them too much and very low taxes, or even no taxes at all then it could work.

But, you also need to make sure that you help them out. I do not know how, but convincing them to change the nation they are in and go to Singapore is a very hard ask, so they need to give some incentives as well to make that work as well.

He has become irrelevant because of the fact that he is not tweeting about it anymore. But, if he starts doing that again and again like crazy, then he will probably make the markets go crazy too. I know that it is not something we should look forward to, I dislike the guy as much as the next person and even though he created two companies that are amazing, he just took over them and not the actually founder of these companies at all, he is just the investor to them and nothing more.

In the end, he has power, we do not want him to have that power but unfortunately, he does have that power and that makes things a lit bit difficult for people like me and you.

Same with me. Tron is being talked a lot before and I think it's going to be the next big thing but I guess the op was right that all of it are just hype. Since when tron became sideways again? If it's before this bear takes place then I think that was already permanent but if it's still doing fine before the bear then there's a chance that its value can improve.

Some people abandoned tron already while there are some isn't because they still believe that this coin can boom like the belief they have in bitcoin and other more potential coins. While there are those who use tron for payment purposes only like in gambling and can care less about its future price since they can just convert later on right after they gamble.

That’s the benefit of being a long term investor. If you are doing something that is beneficial for you like long term investment, then all those things that "should" hurt you like a short term drop would not matter to you. Like I have been holding for a few years now, saw it go up a lot, saw it go down a lot and none of that mattered to me, I was of course happy when it went up but didn't sell much.

So, people who are long term will not be caring for the drops there are in the price of bitcoin or anything else. This is the approach you could have during bear markets like now, you could buy as much as you can and wait for the long term profits.

I personally do not think it could be over just because someone said it. But I do feel like it is over right now not because someone said it but because I think it has been long enough time. Like if the drop started on November, and there was a bit of increase on December then I would totally understand why people may think it is just a dead cat bounce.

But, it happened during early November and has been going down ever since and we are now in august, that means it has been 10 months, nearly a year since the drop, we are getting there. I do not believe that bitcoin stays low for that long, it eventually recovers and we are there about right now and will go up again soon.

So which way the market is heading now, if you think that cryptos are truly predictable? Maybe you would say it will go upwards just because you see that some coins are continuously increasing right?

But, there is no guarantee if they really can continue till a new bull run. We have experienced a bull trap a couple of times before so I believe the same scenario can happen again plus many believe that the bottom is not reach yet for some coins. What is that phase you are talking about there anyway? I think that's a new coin and how can it compete with the others if it can only offer simple earnings? Having a dao isn't also new but I do like dao-based projects.

It's already given above that they have some similarities but not completely the same. In trading, I thought you are the one who determines your outcome? So, why say trade at a loss? It's possible to incur a loss in trading because we don't have a full control with it but it was the market.

You only compare trading with sports betting but what about casino games? When you are betting multiple times and you use the autobet function, it is always possible to stop it before you lose all your balance. In sports betting, there is also multi bets and there is an option to cash out early but the profits that you will be getting is much lesser.

If the newbies do not realize that they need to first understand blockchain and understand what crypto is all about, and learn from the mistakes of others that was done before they get in, before they start to make any investments, then they are going to be forced for a rude wake up call.

This doesn't mean that they can't get lucky, there are times during the bull market that plenty of newbies make stupid investments to shitty stuff and just because it is the bull market the prices go up and they make a profit. But that is not all the time and only during the bull market, which means that they will not have the second chance to do something like that again.

I think that was a personal matter already so it's not needed and maybe someone can get obsessed with you and plan to do a bad thing once they figured out that you made tons of money already with it. This is why it's still better to be humble and just do your main prospects which is to teach them about btc.

Their parents agree because they know the guy already. Another thing is the lecture is done inside the subdivision so they are sure to be safe. Don't worry the op is not going to tell it, that btc is a quick rich scheme because as you can see in his pic, he started with the basics and then list down what things can we do with a btc.

Maybe you shouldn't take any advice at all then, if you want time, then the best thing to do would be making sure that you are looking into the things, and if you personally are looking into it, then you would be able to have all the time in the world.

I know I have taken over 6 months to take a look at a project before I got in once, I usually do not take that long but I wanted to see how they really are and every movement they made, and that usually ends with me not being that much shocked with anything, but I was and that resulted with me realizing that they are actually legit, I thought they weren't and that’s the point here, and not really saying it was a bad idea, because I could have been early, but I still think it was decent enough.

That was true and one example is when a whale sends btc to someone else where he will only pay cents for the fee. Imagine how convenient was that? But, if this happens with other payment methods then I think so many stuffs must be done first and then the fees are also going to be expensive. Bitcoin is not new but it had existed here for I think 13 years already and with that time span, many things have happened already.

Btc and fiat have some similarities and both has their pros and cons too. This is why they are always being compared by the masses. Btc was once an idea but have came to reality already. It's now a product but yes its risk is high than in fiat. People should be aware with that.

From the famous words of Gordon Gekko, greed is good. It just depends on how you channel it. For example, in that sense we had a lot of assistant managers who spent a lot of money on personal corporate card, all the messaging between them cost the company money, here it is "wise" investor who would be greedy but in the right way. So if you could keep doing that, I would believe that you could keep doing even more.

This is a very vital part of crypto where you do not get "greedy" by making idiotic moves, it just doesn't make sense, but if you end up making a smart move like buying bitcoin and waiting then you could actually make a good profit from it.

Right now, as things are going most chances we will have Messi here at PSG until end of his career or very few chances Barcelona will try to bring him back for his farewell which was not happened in last season when the transfer happened there is no chance for him to go into Premier League or any other league because at the end of this contract he is going to be 37 which is surely age when mostly players decide about their retirement and their body is not also they have at their best on all players can go through like Zlatan Ibrahimović who is giving his best at the age of 40.

Messi is going to be vital for PSG in this season because here management is also doing some good developments which can bring better results for them and this could be vital for all parties in coming days.

Jamie Vardy's achievement and stay at Leicester City amazing and these are never been forgettable because he is one of the best striker in English Premier League and still has few years in his best form but sadly right now his club is struggling badly with have poor positions in last two season and now Kasper is also already leave which is going to have big impact on them for their future, their inconsistency is also big problem because they have no enough quality players and alone Vardy is not able to handle things in positive way.

Now, this season is going to be decisive for the Leicester City can they hold him anymore or his also going to any other good club for rest of his career because he deserves some better than his current situation and still few years left in his career which can help any good club for having good record for winning big achievements.

How come when Australia is only ranked as top 4 according on the op's list? Although if we look on the detailed stats. The first few countries in the list had some smaller score (value's) as when compared to Australia but some numbers on Australia are also lower than the others. I think that can make sense on why Australia can't be on the top or first in the list. And so what if there are a lot of doge coin projects from this country?

I think that is not so proudful as we know dogecoin is being hated by the many but id be more happier to know that fact if the coin that we are talking about are bitcoin, ethereum or even other top coins as long as it's not a meme coin.

It really does matter to him. He needs a pump because he badly needs a money but for some, it doesn't really since most of us here are patient enough and we also invest money which we won't really be needing so that when it times we need money we still have something that we can get out of our pocket and no need for us to sell our btc at a loss.

Like you said, btc can pump on the right time and its pump is also massive so there is no need for you to suggest shitcoins to him as they are a pure gamble. Not all of them can pump but when they did, I still don't think that their pumps are much bigger than on what bitcoin has to offer.
