Even at a time that you would think that Bitcoin can’t be manipulated, there are still some people who are always trying to manipulate it which is very funny.

Anyways , as a small investor you can still benefit from this, it’s just all about getting the right information and timing your investment accurately. Right now the market seems to be at the lowest that it can go. And anyone who wants to buy can buy now and keep holding. And for those that lost due to the fall, I don’t think there is any need to sell because I wouldn’t, you will be at loss and also miss the opportunity when the train moves again.

I agree. We can definitely see a good amount of increase in the price of bitcoin very soon. It is not going to be something major, it is not going to be careless stuff, it is going to be something that really shows how great bitcoin can be if we keep this up.

What we need is that this sideways needs to go on for a little while longer and if we can convince people not to sell and create a bit of small hype overtime, then that small hype will grow and grow and grow and then suddenly pops and becomes a huge increase. That is what I believe we can do if we stay calm, all we need is to keep people from selling and that only happens with good news, which means we need some good news in crypto these days. I do not know when that will happen or how that will happen but if some company or some person creates a good hype that means the price will not fall or even maybe go up.

I wouldn't know about DOT and I can't tell you why it is good or why it is bad because I never made a research about it and never invested into it and that is why I am not a good expert to answer that question. But I can make a little change about the question and can give you a very very good answer.

Why do you think dogecoin went up? Why do you think eth went up? Why do you think anything goes up? Do you really think that all do look alike? Maybe that is the case? I mean not everything goes up just because it has a utility, there is nothing desirable about most coins but they are high all because there is a pump and hype for it.

It means it could be something very usable just like bnb or eth, or it could be something silly like doge, none of that matters, as long as there is a hype about a coin, that coin will go up no matter what type of coin it is.

I didn’t have any plans to exit the market at this time. But I did sell 70% of my overall assets when the market reached its highest and Bitcoin was above $60,000. And that’s because I felt it was too much already (calculating by the profit I have already made), so I left the rest there in case the market should go up further and I wasn’t bothered if the price was going to crash or not.

But the market has been going up again, although the increase is not really stable, because it keeps going back and forth from anywhere around $30,000 to $35,000 (currently at $36,000 now and I am hoping that it would sustain that and keep on going).

A lot of people are still saying that the price will reach $100,000. I hope this is true. I saw a post yesterday, a guy that was talking about 4Chan’s post and saying that the recent fall in price was planned by the whales for a purpose which I can’t really explain. And according to him, he strongly believes that the market will back up again. I don’t know how true that is, if the market does go up a lot of people are going to be happy about that.

Although the thought that Bitcoin is being manipulated doesn’t sit well with me. Nobody likes manipulation in any in form and in any market.

No you can’t just stop other coins simply because of Bitcoin. This is a free market and the sky is wide enough for every birds to fly. So you can’t stop other cryptocurrencies to be in the market, they are just there for their own business. It is up to people to make the decisions on what they are going to invest or not. And I don’t think that having many of these altcoins has any effect on Bitcoin at all, it doesn’t stop Bitcoin from growing.

Bitcoin has the largest market cap overall, that’s some huge difference, and that has not changed since the start. And the good thing about having altcoins is that it leaves people with lots of options to choose from and not just only one cryptocurrency.

Yes, that is how it is supposed to be now. Bitcoin used to be like all those altcoins that you’re seeing, and going up more than 50% and 100% in a day, and that’s when it was still new and highly volatile. But, as it keeps growing, things starts to change. The more the market cap grows , the less volatile it becomes.

And the good thing about this is that anyone can hardly manipulate the price of Bitcoin, unlike other coins that can easily be pumped and dumped by whales. But for those people who are looking for 100% increase and more in a day, sorry you’re not going to be getting that.

I 100% agree because in regular markets those type of deals happen and it is a very long process but here we could have Elon musk type of very famous rich person coming out and saying they will buy 2 billion dollars worth of bitcoin for investment tomorrow and we will see 60k once again in a day. That is how easy it is to increase the price of bitcoin that quickly, however that is not really a solution is it? We should not expect that kind of change in crypto that quickly.

This is why I think we are talking about whales selling as well to balance it off, because just like how Elon did, they can be the cause of going up but they can be cause of going down as well. This is the type of situation we are in right now, bitcoin whales could make it go up or down but at the end of the day the "reason" why it goes up and down could be different but the trajectory is the same.

That's exactly what you should do, people think that converting is a good option but that is like when you have so much money that you do not care about the conversion rate or the costs, normally you can do this a lot cheaper the way you described so that is the way anyone should do if they are gambling with anything under 1000 or even above if they do not want to spend a lot of money on this and save some money.

I personally do exactly as you say because that allows me to save some money plus in this day and age we are talking about a huge amount of money for each transaction and that is why it is not really advised to use bitcoin even for payments.

Schalke will not be able to keep Ozan for sure but he is not on Liverpool level neither, there are like 30 clubs in Europe that is not at the top level going for champions league after group stages, but also not at the bottom level of their leagues neither. He will certainly be a decent addition to almost all teams that are around 6th to 15th in all top 5 leagues of Europe (Italy, Spain, premier league, Bundesliga, France).

That is why I think it is going to be him moving to another team 100% guaranteed but there is no way that he would go to a club like Liverpool, as we have seen in the last half of the season that he wasn't basically good enough, he was also a bit more scared because that looked like a big deal for him to move there but unfortunately it wasn't permanent. Liverpool got Konate and he is much better and that is why they do not need Ozan at all, that is why this is an understandable move.

It's unfortunate to get scammed but actually getting scammed once was one of my most emotional moments in crypto. I will share my story quickly. This happened like a few years ago.

So I was messaged on telegram by an imposter that he will exchange my coins, at that time I needed some skrill as I used to bet at bet365 and they don't accept crypto. So this user messaged me from where as he got to know I needed skrill and I sent him BTC since it was only $30 or something I was looking for and I cannot imagine someone scamming 30 bucks until that time. This guy simply took my money and never replied, I messaged him a few times but I had an idea that he won't return so I just did it somewhere else. I didn't block him since I had no reason for that. A few weeks later this guy comes to me and told me that he had his college fees due and was short of a few dollars and hence scammed me. You might think it was a story to cover up his scam but he actually paid me all $30 in skrill slowly and that is one of the sweetest memory I ever have in crypto.

The worst memory and experience I ever had in crypto was when I invested in some ICOs and they never even got to exchanges while they promised a lot. I don't consider selling tokens for cheap a bad memory because it can go wrong either way and it's unfortunate but not a mistake to sell them cheap.

Right now all coins are undervalued, because of the crash all coins are down too much and they are very undervalued and they deserve to be higher up if you ask me. However number one in my list is bnb because it went down too much and I think it can reach to 600+ dollar levels very easily, that is why I am not worried about what is going to happen with crypto world in the future, I am just going to buy these coins as much as I can afford (I do not have any money left right now, I literally have zero until I get my wage and then I will not have any later, but when I do have money one day and if prices are still low I will buy a lot).

Long story short crypto is undervalued as a whole right now, pick a strong coin, even if its bitcoin, and keep holding it, buy some more if you can afford to, and keep waiting, they are going to go back up eventually for sure, don't know how long it will take but it will happen.

The question is not "can he do that" it is about what would happen. I think are way too optimistic, this is the same guy who once joked about "there should be a marscoin" for the future when we are in mars and there was already one, that went up %9000+ in a single hour after he tweeted that, it was obvious he didn't talked about the already existing one but that coin went from 180 bucks per day volume to 250 thousand dollars volume in a single hour.

So, if he ever creates a coin/token that means he is going to end up with a ton of money invested, like serious amount of money, we are talking about like maybe a billion near levels and that is what I think will change soon, that is what I am seeing in the future if Elon ever creates a coin. This is going to be fun to watch, I would never invest but I would love to watch it unfold.

We are in the same boat but I bought a very tiny amount (50 bucks) because that's all I had. I honestly do not see bitcoin going under 30k anytime soon at all, that was the bottom and we reached it and I believe something huge needs to happen before we could go under 30k. There needs to be a very bad news and a huge sell off again in order for that to happen and I doubt it would happen that quickly. All jokes aside we are doing fine and I doubt that it would happen anytime soon.

However the recovery seems to be doing great and I doubt that it would really matter all that much, there is a chance that we could be seeing over 45k and even maybe reach 50k as well in a month or so.

I think there was a lot of long futures that got screwed over in the drop and that will get higher and higher and that would mean that short futures would be doing something insane, there are TONS OF short futures and only a few long futures because of this difference and rules of arbitrage says that if you do have a long future right now that means you are going to earn way more than you normally would.

Basically you are betting 1 dollar and other side is betting 100 dollars, obviously they have a better chance but they are also risking so much more. That is why I think it is going to be quite fun to watch the price go up because everyone will be focusing on that. We even started already, and that 50k+ will come as well.

You made that happen? That's great! I hope so too that we can gamble on such events in the near future.

There are so many sponsorships that some of our crypto sportsbooks are doing like sportsbetio have done with soccer clubs while stake has partnered with UFC so I am really excited if one of them would bring betting on such events soon.

If that's true it's unfortunate that BTC sponsoring and partnering cannot still get them to crypto-sportsbooks yet. But maybe these things will grab attention from these sportsbooks are will have the betting option for them soon.

Going to try this for sure but recently they have made a rule such that you cannot zoom the window otherwise it will just disable stream. I used to watch a lot of streams at bet365 but it is nearly impossible to watch in that small window, I hope your method works.

I fully agree with the delay in streams, earlier the streams were far ahead and some players used to take advantage of it in sports like tennis where odds change within a few seconds and having an advantage used to give players the edge. Now almost all the streams are delayed but still, bet365 is one of the best sites to watch sports even if they are not as far ahead as before.

That is how the whales are getting bigger and the small fishes are being nuked. When you panic sell, there is someone who makes profit on the other hand and most of the times it would be whales who manipulated the market to panic you.

Risky but still a good way to make high returns. You can also try staking of coins.

Both excellent projects and if I am not wrong Matic was recently merged/bought by another big name and is now known as Polygon.

I usually invest in upcoming solid projects and once they get listed on the exchanges and the expected price is reached, I just sell them. This is risky though and I myself face loss a lot of times but then other times it works, I get my loss back into profits.

I have tried this and I will tell you the problem I have faced with holding coins.

1- All the time I was looking at the prices of my coins I hold.
2- I was feeling irritated because I had nothing to do and even if I try and focus on something else, I would have my mobile with me to check the prices all the time ultimately I cannot focus on anything.
3- Within a few months I start feeling mad and I used to get sad when coins were dropping which also led me to take some days off from my office.

I think all this happened because I just invested too much and hence I was worried all the time. People who hold must have a lot of money or they are made of rock that they don't budge even when prices are dropping.

This happened everywhere during pandemic times. People were trying to store more consumables and groceries and some were even trying to store daily needs items. Once the rich start holding these items in bulk it creates a problem for the poor because they neither have the money to bulk up and store themselves to match them nor do they have the money to buy them at above normal prices.

I think there is enough for everyone to survive in almost every country but the problem starts when one's want occupies the need of 10 and there starts the conflict of scarcity. If only a better culture was built, I think the world would be in a better place.
