Is 0.1BTC a lot and enough for long-term holding? I calculate my extra income that I use for DCA and I feel like this is the range of BTC I will end up owning on the long run, anything more will put me in a very tight position or maybe I need to upgrade my side job to earn more for investing into Bitcoin. What do you feel about this? 0.1 BTC good enough or not.

If you had a choice between 1 bitcoin and 10 bitcoins, would you choose 1 bitcoin? I believe anyone will choose 10bitcoin without any further thought. This means there will be no concept of enough or not, our greed is bottomless. If you still have the ability to accumulate more than 0.1 bitcoin, then why stop? Keep accumulating to the best of your ability because the more bitcoins you own, your future will be happier. Honestly, I'm holding more than 1 bitcoin, but I never feel enough.

OP, trust me - bitcoin in the long run is still a lot better than any other physical asset investment. You need to look at history and steel yourself to believe that bitcoin can create much more history in the future.

I know OP needs motivation and the best advice, but I will disagree with your statement. Bitcoin is an investment that can offer high returns but is riskier than other physical asset investments. You cannot say that bitcoin is better than gold or real estate in terms of safety. Investing in bitcoin is that we need to take risks, which means we are willing to accept the loss of the money we use to invest. If OP is investing with money that can't be lost, then he should reconsider his investment.
1103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 04, 2023, 07:23:06 PM
I believe competition has returned back to the German bundesliga, Union Berlin are back to the top of the bundesliga after beating Mainz 2-1, Dortmund are now third, but they have the same points with bayern munich, which is 37 points each; Leipzig are 1 point behind bayern munich, while Frankfurt are 2 points behind bayern munich.
There are so many teams around bayern and are so close to them in points, there is pressure on bayern munich, and i think that pressure will affect them tomorrow, i don't feel they will beat Wolfsburg tomorrow. When the bundesliga ends this season i will be happy to see a winner that is not bayern munich.
Seems excited with Bundesliga standing position awhile after Union Berlin back to the top position behind two points left from Bayern Munich and current standing right now Dortmund has the same points with Bayern.  More competitive with Bundesliga standing behind several team on top 6th position left fewest points difference and warning for Bayern Munich they have back to the top performance after losing many points from last three matches.
Huge pressure faced by Bayern Munich after all their team rival success win today and standing position most compete, having chance for Bayern Munich back to the top standing on tomorrow match against with Wolfsburg, three points achievement will help Bayern back to the top standing but if loss or draw give opportunity for Union Berlin exist awhile in the top position.

Z-tight, Union Berlin is at the top. But the problem is Bayern Munich has played 18 matches. On the other hand, Union Berlin has played 19. It is going to be actually hard for Union Berlin to actually stay on top. Because Bayern Munich is obviously the best team in this league. And they are very soon going to reclaim the first position on the table.

But it is very great to see the league finally being interesting. Because Bayern Munich generally does not let it be interesting at all.

Honestly, I don't have a grudge against centralized exchanges either and I've never had a problem with them in my years of use. I disagree with some of the comments that just because of the demise of FTX we say they should all be scrapped or ostracized. FTX's demise is like a shitcoin project disappearing, and just because a project dies doesn't mean the crypto industry is a scam. Centralized exchange is where we exchange coins with each other, P2P...not where you hold your assets for long. If you lose money because of that then it's your fault, don't try to blame them.
1105  Economy / Economics / Re: Monthly or weekly pay? Fixed or percentage earning? what is your prefrence. on: February 04, 2023, 12:40:45 PM
What about daily pays? Cant imagine how people who gets paid by the end of the working day. How to not let loose and spend everything in one day. How such people save money for monthly utility bills and expensive purchases. With weekly payment I think it is close to impossible, with daily it might be 100% impossible.

I like to spend everything what is left between monthly salary - next monthly salary. Coz this is sort of a motivation, a reward, a level of how good I have worked for me.

In my country, heavy and laborious jobs such as porters, assistants...Most get paid at the end of the day or every 2 days, and I've been through those for a while, and I have no problem saving or paying bills every month. It all depends on ourselves, if you have a plan for everything, then you will never have a problem with spending. You get paid at the end of the day, and when you get off work, you can put them in the piggy bank or give them to your wife to keep, it's not as hard as you think.

Breaking News

We all know the upcoming Israel Adesanya VS Alex Pereira rematch, and we all know its weakness of Pereira, it was truly shown and exposed by Izzy, but to no avail, Pereira just easily make a comeback in the last round in knocking out Izzy, do you guys think that the fight will be the same, or is there a new technique that Israel Adesanya can uncover on their rematch of Alex Pereira would do wrestling aswell, to shock Izzy and all of us,
It would be funny if it ends with 4-0 between Pereira and Adesanya. Funny that Pereira has already made a name. No matter if he looses, and suddenly retires from fighting, people will always remember him as a guy who beat top UFC striker 3 times.

It is obvious that if Adesanya and Pereira makes another kickboxing fight in the octagon, then it will be a matter of luck who is going to win. It would not be smart for Izzy to focus on kickboxing again. Such tactics failed 3 times already. But, I start to think more and more that Pereira aint that simple as everyone sees him. Of course he has no elite wrestling or grappling skills, that he secretly trained for decades (it will turn out all of a sudden, that he is actually a Dagestani guy lol), but he will surprise everyone like Ngannou in his fight against Gane. When everyone expected Ngannou to go destroyer mode, instead he did lot of wrestling and outsmart Gane.

For Israel, I think he will have to be very careful. Because he has already failed this task quite a lot of times. So the psychological fact is going to be there. I do not think that there is actually too much of a difference between them about who has the better skill and who is better. I think in the end it is going to come down to the fact that Israel has not been able to win even once against this opponent. But on the other hand, this thought can also drive Israel to perform better. Probably he will go into this fight very determined and in a state of mind to take revenge for all the previous fights that he lost.
1107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: February 03, 2023, 08:12:19 AM

I think your business will grow up when accepting Bitcoin as payment method, there are possibility earn double profit if your Bitcoin fund hold and not convert as soon possible after receiving payment from your costumer.

I also believe that when a business adds a payment option, it attracts more customers, and that's good for the business. But to get hold of that bitcoin is very difficult, if he can hold all the bitcoins that customers pay, he will no doubt use bitcoins for his business. To operate and keep a business running, its capital must always be in circulation, not just holding and doing nothing. If he wants to own many bitcoins, he can buy them anytime he has money, there is no need to wait for customers to pay.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Life Insurance on: February 03, 2023, 07:55:05 AM
Lol, survive, banks are making millions in fees right now from everybody buying and selling coins and using banks wires, credit cards and funding their paxum paypal or another wallet with bank money to buy and sell coins. I have a feeling that if we do the math they have gained a ton of money compared to the measly few thousand of transaction fees they've lost.
fiat is unsustainable eventually banks will find that the money they hold is worthless. They keep printing money off and eventually it will collapse. Maybe not in our life times but it will eventually happen. crypto does not do this and is immune to inflation. When people realize this they will convert and the banks will start losing more money. atm they are fine and will probably be here for the rest of my life but they will have to adapt just like the rest of the world will.

Fiat is inherently unsustainable, but to say it will collapse and crypto will replace it is unlikely. If fiat is dropped and replaced, it will also be a government-created currency, not a bitcoin or a decentralized currency. I can assure you this, as long as the government remains the one who controls the world, they won't let that happen, if that happens, it will be their downfall. Look at the inflation going on, it's dropping rapidly without bitcoin, which shows us that fiat will be with us for hundreds of years to come.
1109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 02, 2023, 06:55:00 PM
Ashwin's spot in the playing XI is in danger? Why would you think that?
He has 5 test tons and 449 wickets under his belt and singlehandedly won countless matches for India and its home series. Jaddu-Ashwin-Axar trio should be the first pick for the selectors and you could also throw kuldeep in the mix if by any chance Axar or Jaddu is out of form.
Here I am also feeling Ashwin could be their first choice for the test spot with Jaddu and Axar because he is still key player and can give good performance for team single-handedly with batting is plus point for him with his 5 test centuries and experience is also important.

But if team have any issue then surely they can drop anyone from Jaddu or Axar for having Kuldeep into team, but this all depends on pitch and match day what strategy they will adopt for having good results against Australia, touring party is also doing their homework, and surely they will give some surprises during match as they are famous for this all and their experience to play against Pakistan and Sri Lanka is surely going to help them even India is the toughest place for them in this series.

I think in any other format Ashwin is not a very good choice. But especially in test format, I think Ashwin is better than most other choices that India has right now.

So, I think they are actually going to play Ashwin.

Kuldeep is a good bowler. But I think he is most useful at T20. He is not very well when it comes to the test format in my opinion. So, I think they will be making the right choice if they do go with Ashwin.

Yes, I think crypto is a save heaven for people who can't use banks or live in poor countries with high inflation. That's why people in Africa try to adopt crypto ASAP.

I don't know about the news that Ukrainians switched to crypto after the war, but what is happening in Africa, especially Nigeria. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are trending here, and it helps many people as their Naira currency is depreciating more and more due to government mismanagement. Bitcoin is not a paradise but it is the best solution right now for those who are struggling there. I am not from Nigeria, but my life has also improved a lot from bitcoin, it can be said that my economy is stable thanks to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Education is the way, the only key to success, to put it bluntly, without education, you will be a failure, you will do nothing without education. Make no mistake that education means you are educated in traditional schools, education is something you get anywhere as long as you get the knowledge that is education. Today, formal education has no longer received much attention because of corruption, and achievement disease... causing the quality to go down a lot and instead, there are other forms, but it is still education.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 02, 2023, 05:47:15 AM
I no longer give much hope for other teams to prevent Napoli from winning the title this season. Argentina managed to win the World Cup title after long absence, and then Napoli also won it after long absence so that feat really dedicated to Diego Armando Maradona. I don't know I don't know what the connection is, but it seems that Napoli is too fresh to continue beyond this limit.
It was just a coincidence because actually Napoli could have done this last season if only they had not experienced problems with several injured core players which kept them down in their performances and ultimately failed to lift the league trophy.
This is what Spalletti needs to watch out for, the condition of the players must always be a priority to continue the positive trend in Serie A. Injuries to players can change their plans because of the imbalance in the main squad. Until week 20, Napoli has the upper hand. They are still able to control the standings with a 13 point advantage from Inter, which is right below it.
Napoli which has continued to win in a row in the last four matches, will try to continue its victory against Spezia. Spalletti will not underestimate Spezia even though he is ranked 17th in the standings, three points must be won to bring Napoli closer to the Scudetto this season.

Napoli is playing really well right now and in the next match, they are going to play against a team that is fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. So, I do not think they will have too many problems winning the next match as well. The performance of Napoli has also been quite consistent. Even after the break they have played really well. Honestly, I did doubt them a little that they might not perform as well as they were doing for the break. Because that's what happened in the last season. But in this season they learned from their mistakes and are performing really well. Seems to be Like it is going to be a title-winning performance from them this season.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 30, 2023, 07:12:44 PM
The bundesliga this season is the most entertaining one in recent years the gap between the first and fifth position is only three points but i still doubt the other teams can keep up, most of them are inconsistent in term of performance and results so i think soon bayern will get a comfortable distance from the others.
Not with their constant draws. Since Bayern returned from the break it has been draws in their last three games. Their next game is against Wolfsburg who won SC Frieburg with 6 goals what is the guarantee Bayern won't lose their next match. Union Berlin on the other hand has maintained three points each in their last three matches. In the next week the Bundles Liga will have a new table topper that is if Bayern fails to take three points from Wolfsburg. by then Bayern will starting struggling back to reclaim it again by then it might be late.

Honestly, I think Bayern Munich having drawn and having to share points with their opponent is actually the most interesting thing that has been happening in the Bundesliga right now. Because we all know that Bayern Munich is the team that always gets away from everyone early. In the end, there is actually no one who becomes successful in catching them.

But now it has been different. This season, it has been different. Because Bayern Munich started the season a little shaky. At that time the team which was giving them competition was Union Berlin. Now when Bayern Munich is not being able to win matches consistently, the team which is giving them competition is Union Berlin. I honestly have high hopes for Union Berlin.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 30, 2023, 07:09:34 PM
It is very shameful for Chelsea to have all this players and still no better performance and they continue to sign in more players.  Can all this players participate in every game, not possible.  Some players most times will be on the bench and it can affect skills of players always sitting on bench.
I don't think is a shame to say, Chelsea is one of the best clubs in England but what they're going through now will be a thing of the past because when you're desperate to get results you might get nothing but failure and disappointment, they want quick result which is coming from the owner but that's not how to get positive result in football. They're struggling with injuries and they're still getting in more players, is good to get in more players but the question is can you manage them when the time comes?
 The manager knows best on how to control the team, is best to sell some players that ain't productive instead of keeping good players on the bench the best thing is to make a change by removing those ones that are more than 30yrs plus (the ones that are not doing well). By bringing fresh legs into squad they might make it to top 6.
I think in this case no one will think of Chelsea as a small team because regardless of anything they are still a big team in the EPL but what is highlighted here is not the small or big team but about their current performance.
They are a big team but until now they haven't made themselves big in terms of their current form.
Especially now that they will try to hijack the players Arsenal want again and at high prices. Obviously this is another rush for them especially they already have so many midfield players now.
Their actions this season have been very sloppy but they don't seem to care much about that.

Chelsea is just buying players right now. And I hardly think that they actually care about future performance. They just want to bring players into the squad. But they are not getting the performance that they should get or that the fans are expecting.

Are you honestly feel like they are just trying to look at what the other successful clubs are trying to do? Just like Arsenal has been very successful this season. That's why they are trying to hijack the players that Arsenal is getting into the team. And they are also being successful in doing that. I hope they come up with an idea of their own instead of just running the club and the team with borrowed ideas.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 30, 2023, 08:24:28 AM
So in the end the five consecutive wins that Leverkusen had won ended after losing by Dortmund, even though I expected Leverkusen would still get points even if it was only a draw with one point. But indeed, Dortmund is not a mediocre team so naturally Leverkusen lost points in this match, but at least Leverkusen's position is still safe in the top ten.

Looking at their last five match statistics prior to this last match, Dortmund won three of the five matches, while Leverkusen won two, demonstrating that both of them are very good teams, and looking at how Dortmund has improved its performance also demonstrates how serious they are, which encourages them to win.

Actually, in the Dortmund match, it could easily have been a draw. But in the end, Dortmund held their nerve. They did not let it slip. Dortmund made sure that they get all three points from this match. Even though Leverkusen actually played well in this match.


Apart from that match, I was quite surprised by Schalke because Schalke managed to get one point by holding FC Koln to a draw, because in my prediction Schalke also seems difficult to get points because the trend is still very bad. But yes, even though this one point still doesn't change Schalke's position, at least Schalke is still trying to play well and of course that is good morale.

Schalke match was actually a little boring in the end. But I guess it was interesting for Schalke fans. Because it is not very often that they can get one point. They have actually lost three consecutive matches. And after that, they got this one point, finally. This obviously does not change the fact that they are going to stay in the relegation zone and most likely be relegated.

As a beginner in Crypto with a limited budget would you recommend purchasing the lower priced NFT's?

NFT is like shitcoin, if lucky, it can bring you a huge profit, but if unlucky, you will lose your investment. I know why you invest in NFT because you want to increase your meager amount, but that is not the way for you to start investing or survive in this market. If you don't have too much money, work hard instead of daydreaming that you can make quick money investing in NFT.
Cryptocurrency is a get-rich-quick market but not easy and not everyone can do it, you need knowledge and a little luck to do it.

Can shiba inu ever get to $1 in the next bull run or more years to come??,  though nothing is impossible, but i don't think it can get there,
And is the project still good to invest in?

The fact that Shiba cannot reach $1 with the current supply is certain. As for the question, is it good to invest in it? I can tell you that Shiba has never been good, what shiba has achieved during the 2021 bull season is just hype and whether it will continue to be hyped or not. No one knows, it depends on whether the shark will continue to pick it or choose another useless token. Investing in shiba or meme is no different from gambling, so no one can give you the answer, if you want to gamble for high profit, then you can try.

Milan tried to enter the game fast, they actually scored a goal, but as a result of offside, the goal was not counted. Then Sassuolo started the match in such a way that the speed was at the highest level, Milan were defeated at home. Every goal Sassuolo scored was epic, with tremendous patience they gradually created positions and made them fast, reaching five goals. 5 goals were scored in 30 minutes, it was the most fantastic match I've ever watched.

Actually, we saw Olivier Giroud's special in the 8th minute of the match. But it was disallowed because of offside. Honestly, it was absolutely terrible defending from Milan in this match. With this type of performance, we cannot expect them to defend the title successfully at all. They have just lost to a team that was almost in the relegation zone.

Actually, Sassuolo are still very much in danger of being in the relegation zone. And Milan lost to them. And that also so convincingly. This was absolutely a dominating performance from Sassuolo. The last goal that Milan scored in the match towards the end was really great. But except for that, I do not know what they can be positive about in this match.
1119  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Facebook And Instagram reinstate Donald trump's account on: January 29, 2023, 02:25:24 PM
The unique users in Trump's Truth Social has been declining drastically. It reduced from 4.02 million in August to 2.85 million in October last year and currently it has just 1.7 million users. The truth is that most Americans, including his supporters are not using this platform. Donald Trump needs all the attention to push forward his Presidential ambition and he thought he could get it by starting his own social media platform. But it is very clear now that Truth social might not give him the wide audience he needs. Hence, it would not be a surprise to see the ex-president going back to Twitter and other social media platforms. He might claim that Elon Musk has liberated Twitter from the influence of the democrats and use it as the reason for his coming back.
From a business perspective, he will lose a sizable amount of money, since Truth Social is now his personal business. Deciding to abandon his platform and instead use Twitter and other platforms will make numbers even plummet further because the main reason they are there is because of him. I also believe all the stocks related to truth social will tank if her dear made a move to use the social media platforms that "betrayed' him in the first place.



But his main goal for next year is to run for president, and as a billionaire like him, losing a little bit of profit won't be a big problem. Moreover, in return he received the support of the voters and won the election, the trade-off was well worth it.

I believe he will soon return to popular social networks to prepare for his election. It can be said that with the huge user disparity between his social network and Twitter or Facebook, he couldn't have a better choice.

Spend time on things or activities that will change your life positively. Arrange your finance, invest and save wisely.
Stop wasting your time on Social media solely to view and comment on pictures only.
 Invest in something today

I was promoting a product on one of these social media platforms last year and it exposed me to the dangers of social media. Social media is the number one global time waster among youths and others. Although there are some positive effects of using social media but without discipline, one can waste his precious time on irrelevant things because most information on social media are either false or for just entertainment.

I have always told youths around me to maximize thier time because when an opportunity is lost, it can never be regained. We must ensure that we only spend our time on things that would benefit us positively. Social media can be used to learn diverse skill, acquire a certification or even used for business or charity. But using the social media for just entertainment is time wasting and this habit must be controlled.

It depends on how you use social networks, many people can make money from social networks and even have a desirable passive income. Social media is not a time-wasting tool, you are wasting your time. Social networks, bitcoin... all are man-made products, and you use them for what you decide, it's useless to you, doesn't mean it's useless to others. Maybe you don't believe me, but my neighbor girl, who is only 18 years old, can earn 2000k$ per month by using TikTok every day. That is the dream income of both me and you.
