Should we re-ask something that doesn't need to be thought about like the OP's question. I think it's strange to test one's logic when market participants ask other market participants.
Not all questions have to be answered, try asking a question once in a while. After all, this is not a logical question, just a fact to present the possibility of what will happen in the future.

At any price that bitcoins get to, there will always be buyers. Not all buyers of bitcoins are buying to make profit from the Volatility, it has use cases as a currency too that some people are readily available to make use of instead of fiat.

At 50k, there will still be buyers, but definitely not so much as today or yesterday.
Of course, I've said that before.
Bitcoin is not only an investment asset or store of value, but is also used as a currency. It's up to you whether you adopt it as a primary currency (difficult) or an alternative for daily transactions, that's the use case.

My question is who buys Bitcoin at that price..?
Same question:

Who would buy bitcoin at $50k when price was under $5k in September 2017?

Me and other will probably answer: anyone can buy it especially since there are always traders and investors who will take advantage of its price volatility and also people who take advantage of real use cases.

So what's your answer?

Will the value of Bitcoin keep increasing after then?
Yes, it is possible, but there is no guarantee.

I'll go ahead and congratulate you, it's a great achievement and an over 2.5x return on your investment. I don't really care if the OP is lying or not, but I can understand why some are a little sceptical, because a few newbies had attempted to farm merit through their topics. Good luck to you and I hope you continue investing in Bitcoin.
It's hard to believe the story being shared, but if the story is true then he forgot that his financial privacy is now threatened. If someone who knew him in the real world knew how much money in assets he had, this would be a threat to him. But I think trusting the OP is as hard as trusting someone who just found out about bitcoin and then invested all their money in it.

I would never have dared to buy bitcoin with all my initial budget without considering the risks. Maybe other people are the same, even experienced investors will set aside some of their budget for a backup plan or something like that. But of course, we don't need to think about whether the story is true or not, bitcoin is a good investment asset for anyone who believes in its potential.

I think, this match should be an easy match for Barcelona to beat Celta Vigo. Indeed, Barcelona are playing away but anyway, the reality is that Celta Vigo are also not having a good trend this season and likewise for Celta Vigo home matches which clearly have poor results . But ya, what happened in this match is that Barcelona still needed until the 90+ minute to be able to win this match. Because after all, even though Celta Vigo was still in a bad trend, but the reality was that Barcelona could still concede by Celta Vigo. So ya, although maybe Lewandowski can play quite well in this match, but if the results are like this it is clear that Barcelona still has problems that have not been well resolved, so it will certainly have a bad impact on Barcelona's performance.
I don't focus on the results but I watch the game. Barcelona fought until the last second to win the match, not an easy job when Celta Vigo also had the chance to score the winning goal. Barcelona's defense performed well in this match because it was able to thwart many opportunities for Celta Vigo to score goals, but Barcelona's attack seemed to be thwarted by Celta Vigo's defense.

Lewandowski almost failed to convert his penalty opportunity, but luckily the referee called for a re-penalty because the goalkeeper was outside his goal line when saving the ball. The second chance became a goal, but the referee confirmed the goal rather than giving a third chance even though the Celta Vigo goalkeeper made the same mistake.

Kudos to Chelsea for putting in a superb performance against the defending champions of the league. They were able to defend their one goal till the 82nd minutes of the game after Rodri took a tremendous strike that went straight to hit one of Chelsea's defenders Dasisi into the back post of Chelsea's net.

A draw is a good result for both clubs as City struggled throughout before they were able to equalize the goal in the last ten minutes of the game. This season Chelsea was able to play City like no any other club and both matches ended draw at home and away.
Of course, Chelsea have extra motivation when they play against teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham or Manchester United. Meanwhile, Chelsea appeared like a mediocre team against teams like Wolves, Brentford, Nottingham and others. I really didn't expect this draw because Manchester City's chances of winning their home game were very high, but what happened instead was a draw.

A draw not good for Manchester City, who hoped to lead the standings, but their plans were thwarted by Chelsea, who looked prestige to lose to Manchester City. Once again Manchester City lost points to their own former player, this time Sterling was the culprit.

Actually, other methods besides DCA also have their own security, but sometimes they are more burdensome when someone wants to do it. Because methods like DCA are usually a little easier and not so burdensome when someone wants to do it every month even though basically they have to use capital when they want to buy it. However, the DCA method can always be tricked with our own abilities, which basically don't have to be in large quantities.
DCA is just a strategy and usually each strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages. You may have missed the opportunity to buy $15k worth of bitcoin last year because of DCA, while you had enough budget to buy 1 bitcoin at a time. I don't blame you for using a different strategy than DCA to accumulate bitcoin, but DCA is certainly more suitable for those who can do it consistently.

DCA can allow you to avoid buying at high prices, while you can also avoid buying a lot at low prices. But all investors seem to be aware of that and perhaps they can adjust their strategies when needed.

All teams certainly focus more of their strength on the Champions League because the Champions League is the most prestigious league. So, if you look at Leipzig chances, of course their chances of qualifying for the next round are quite small because in the first leg they lost and the second leg will definitely be more difficult for them because they are playing at the Bernabeu stadium.

Apart from that, another team that might also be an interesting discussion is Bayern munich. Because they lost the first leg of course they have to be able to win the second leg to maintain their chances of qualifying for the next round.

So for PSG they seem to be very strong and full of ambition in the Champions League this season. But PSG still needs to work hard for the second leg.
I would really be surprised if in the end Leipzig progresses to the next round by beating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Of course this is not desirable, especially because Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, but playing at home is a big advantage for Real Madrid. Leipzig really made things difficult in the first leg and Real Madrid were lucky not to concede a goal until the end of the match.

Bayern Munich also has home advantage which allows them to appear more dominant than Lazio. Bayern Munich must ensure a home win in the leg to qualify for the quarter-finals, and that is a possibility that I think will happen in the second leg. Bayern Munich are still favorites even though they lost 0-1 in the first leg, they are certainly better than Lazio.

PSG must lock in its chances after winning 2-0 at home. Luis Enrique should not risk too many risks in the second leg by making several rotations, of course for me that is not a wise choice even though he is ahead. But PSG's chances are certainly better to qualify after having 2 goals in the first leg.

Liverpool will host Brentford tomorrow. The opponent is not very strong, but they are just above the relegation zone. It will be difficult for Liverpool to get points against them, but they should at least try their luck.
I don't think it will be too difficult, but Brentford might have good motivation because they are playing at home. Previously Brentford won their away game against Wolves, that was after two defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City. The match against Liverpool will be very tough for Brentford and I don't think they will have a chance of winning points even if they play at home.

Arsenal will travel to Burnley. Both teams will play matches where their opponents are not strong but they will need to take points if they want to stay in the league. I expect Arsenal and Liverpool to win the matches no matter what.
In the last match of the day, City will host Chelsea at home. Everyone will be waiting for the score of this match. It is also an important match for the course of the league. City are favorites against their opponent but may be tired of Europe. Chelsea may get a surprise draw.
For this week, Liverpool and Arsenal have a big chance of getting 3 points in their respective matches.
After all, Manchester City may be a little hesitant considering that Chelsea will also provide good resistance as before. Chelsea certainly doesn't have a big chance of winning in an away match, but considering that they were able to stop Manchester City with the previous score of 4-4, there is the potential for a different result than expected.

Personally, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City can win their respective matches. There are no changes in the top 3 and it will be very interesting to look forward to. If this scenario is true, then Manchester City will likely lead the standings with a gap of 1 point above Liverpool in the next match.

Every long-term investor knows that it is not the right time to sell Bitcoin, as there is a good chance that the price will rise. Therefore, whoever has not sold within 16 thousand dollars will not sell now and will definitely make profits. The strength of Bitcoin can wait. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that your investments will achieve a loss. Less and so on.
I advise your friends to think carefully before investing and to forget Bitcoin after buying it (I advise them to use a good wallet that has cold storage capabilities and that it is open source) and after more than 3 years they can safely sell their bitoin without loss.
I'm not sure about it, but did you write something wrong, or did I interpret it differently?
Bitcoin investment for the long term will be more profitable than short term and therefore it is advisable to buy and hold. Investors won't get rich overnight unless they know when $500M comes into the market before the pump starts. Of course they can take advantage of volatility to accumulate assets, but it may take a lot of effort and analysis so as not to lose due to volatility.

Buy now and sell later is highly recommended, especially when the desired target has been met. Its price could potentially reach $100k in the next bull run, some experts even predict it could reach $250k next year. It's too good to be true, so just maximize the opportunities first and reap the benefits later.

Yep. It is the human nature that never feels satisfied. But this can be a positive or negative thing.

When it is about knowledge, it is a positive thing to never feel satisfied. This will trigger a person to always have the eager to learn and learn more. They will assume that they still have lack of knowledge and they need further lessons to have a better knowledge. People who has this characteristics will easily to develop, they will have a bigger chance to success. And people who feel this, they will never be arrogant people.

However, when it is about the money. Feeling always unsatisfied, seems a negative thing. This case happens when we are playing gambling. If we never feel satisfied to earn the money from gambling, then we will always use bigger and bigger money in gambling order to earn bigger money. This will give bad impact because it probably just waste money if we gamble with careless way.
Yes, never being satisfied knowing more is something that is considered positive. Knowledge will increase with learning and continuous learning will produce knowledgeable and capable individuals. It's better to spend a lot of money on your brain than your stomach and lifestyle, in the end they are won't get lost in the crowd or even in the middle of silence.

Stopping learning because you feel capable is a trap. The world will continue to progress and such people will only be left far behind others. Someone who is not learning about bitcoin today may be left behind when governments begin to adopt bitcoin in the future. They may learn, but after being forced by circumstances.

This is good, so far we have seen a break of the $52k resistance although currently the price is experiencing a slight decline. The good news is, we are only -25% away from the previous ATH at the moment and if this positive trend continues until the end of the month then $60k becomes possible.

It is only a matter of time until the price passes the previous ATH, but privately people tend to believe that the new ATH will not be hit before the halving. The current increase in demand can be said to be natural, investors are taking advantage of the momentum to buy a lot before the halving in the hope of getting worth it returns in the next few months.

Liverpool has got a very good chance to win the premier league this season and I'm sure klop would want to give his very best last shot before he finally leaves by the end of the season and a premier league trophy will be a perfect farewell package for him before he leaves and apart from Manchester city, they are looking like the best for the trophy.

Currently the top teams in the premier league which includes Manchester city, Arsenal and Liverpool have almost equal chances at the premier league title but Liverpool has got the most chance as they are at the top of the table with two points away from both Manchester city and Arsenal as bot Manchester city and Arsenal currently share the same points but at different positions, at the second and third position.a single loss or draw can cost Liverpool their chances so they have to make sure to keep winning until with Manchester city or Arsenal drops point as the race is now very tight currently.
This season is still a long way to go and yes Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal have a chance to win the title. I tend to believe Manchester City will retain the title this season compared to Liverpool and Arsenal, but they also have a chance. Whoever fails to take advantage of every game to win 3 points will lose several percent of their chances of winning the title.

There are still many fierce matches until the end of the season and the top three teams will fight to give their best and get as many points as possible. Manchester City's chances are higher than the other two teams, but this really depends on how Manchester City ends each match until the end of the season. The predictions are still difficult, but Manchester City's chances are big.

Coach has a big role, he determines the tactic to apply and influences the motivation of the players. We can see another example on Napoli, they clearly becomes a weak team after Luciano Spalletti left the team. Tuchel seems to choose inappropriate tactic to play against Leverkusen, then the players got difficulty in the match. Although Bayern Munich have great squad, it won't work effectively if the coach isn't smart enough to apply the tactics.

I think Bayern Munich will consider to change Tuchel if Bayern Munich never got better results in the future. Moreover if Bayern Mucnih got bad results against small teams. Well, Harry Kane can't play well if Tuchel can choose a proper tactic to make Harry Kane plays in his best form. I agree it is about the impact of Tuchel, not about Harry Kane.
I wouldn't be surprised if this season Bayern Munich failed in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Leverkusen has had a fantastic season this season which in fact is very difficult for any team to stop, including Bayern Munich. So it is natural that Leverkusen has a better performance than Bayern Munich and Leverkusen wins the match.

I saw Tuchel under a lot of pressure after the defeat in the first leg against Lazio. Bayern Munich did not have a single shot on target from their 17 attempts, which is one of the less good statistics about them. If Bayern Munich fails in the Champions League this season, especially in the round of 16, then Tuchel will probably not be safe until the end of the season.

I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.
As a friend, you have done a commendable thing. You advised him to reduce the intensity of his gambling, but that only failed. If you fail about that, then remember one thing; You have no responsibility to change other people's behavior unless they change it themselves. Giving him advice is natural, but never force your will on other people.

I also often advise friends about gambling, but usually it doesn't work. They only care about their plans whether good or bad, they don't even feel guilty for what they have done without control. Gambling goes bad when a person no longer gambles for fun, the bad effects seem likely to come to them instead of the expected winnings.

Oh wait, it looks like Bayern Munich will have to accept defeat against Lazio today. Dayot Upamecano's red card changed the course of the match which ultimately gave Lazio the lead. 1 penalty goal means a lot for Lazio and this is clearly a surprising result about the Lazio vs Munich match.

Meanwhile, PSG has secured the first leg with a 2-0 win. Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola scored one goal each in this match, but I admit that Real Sociedad is a difficult opponent. They were very dangerous when building attacks, but their lack of effective finishing meant they lost in the first leg.

Copenhagen is used to defensive style of play since in their group stage matches, they are usually it a team that play possession football, they only focus on any counter attack they have to make their goals from them, but Manchester narrowed them to only one short on goal today.

This is almost a straight hope for City, they are almost in the quarter final stage because I don’t think Copenhagen is good to score more than one goal away from home against team like Manchester City.
Yes, after Manchester City closed the first half with a 1-2 lead, Copenhagen seemed to have no hope of winning the match. Manchester City dominated the entire pitch and they really locked the game down without giving Copenhagen much space to build attacks. Of course, Manchester City has a big chance of qualifying for the next round without too many obstacles from Copenhagen, so a ticket to the quarter-finals seems to be in their hands.

Manchester City made 27 shots and 13 of them were on target, but unfortunately Haaland did not score in this match. De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden were the determinants of Manchester City's victory in this match, they are well on their way to qualifying easily.

The match ended 0-1. Away team Real Madrid won the match, but the match is a 50/50 match because Leipzig is always a strong opposition to Real Madrid. If Leipzig can do more in the second Leg, they can qualify because some of the Real Madrid players are injured.
It's true, Leipzig had many opportunities to score goals, but until the match ended they were really unlucky. The second leg will be crucial, but Real Madrid have home advantage which is unlikely to allow Leipzig to dominate.

A gambler can spend hours of his free time in a casino, but of course every gambler has different time. I'm not sure how long it's best to stay in gambling mode, but it really depends on how big your budget is and how interested you are in a particular game.

It is very normal for a gambler to stay in the casino for more than 30 minutes, some also last more than 1 hour to two hours. Personally I don't have a habit of sitting around for hours, but that really depends on what game I'm playing. For slots it usually lasts more than 30 minutes, for sports betting it takes less than 30 minutes.

Copenhagen are playing absentees in the match. They still managed to score 1-2 and score one goal. If they can stop Manchester City at 2 and score one more goal, they can make the miracle happen. Even a draw is a good score for Copenhagen. Real managed to take the lead in the other match. Brahim Diaz's goal put Real ahead in Germany. I expect more goals in the rest of the match because the match is lively.
There was no other choice for Copenhagen other than to play defensively and maximize opportunities when counter-attacking. Manchester City dominated this match too much even though they actually didn't score more than 2 goals so far. Copenhagen's defense in the second half was much more closed and they looked good defensively, but Manchester City will never be comfortable with a 1-2 score like this.

Real Madrid also performed well in the away match against Leipzig. This is an impressive match, especially because Leipzig also doesn't want to lose at home. The score of 0-1 still remained before the match ended, but Leipzig was still trying to avoid defeat and so far they have good statistics. Leipzig haven't had much luck, but let's see until the end of the game.

Of course, because Barcelona needs to refresh stronger players to be able to compete in this fairly tight league. However, due to limited funds, this becomes difficult. Whether it's Xavi or someone else who becomes the next coach, it will definitely be a tough challenge for him to rebuild Barcelona to be as strong as before. Lewandowski, became Barcelona's successful purchase after his glory days began to fade. But now the condition is not as great as before. He was injured several times and was unable to play optimally. Barcelona needs a much stronger forward besides Lewandowski, at least not just using Lewy. Not only that, Barcelona's defense can also be said to be quite weak, right? But what else, this time there hasn't been much change due to limited funds. This will be quite a tough challenge for the next coach. Especially after Barcelona's inability to win against lower-class teams, it is really sad to see their disappointment. Luckily, Barcelona is still in 3rd place, so at least they are still safe from entering the UCL qualifications.
Even though Barcelona is experiencing a bad financial crisis, they are always required to do something good every season. The pressure inside and outside was very unpleasant, even Xavi really felt it and explained the situation. It is not easy to be Barcelona coach amidst financial difficulties, they will have difficulty improving their team let alone winning titles.

But last season Xavi had a great season. He managed to make Barcelona rise and win the La Liga title and Super Cup, but this season everything changed. Araujo, Kounde, Christensen, Balde and Joao Cancelo all suffered injuries, even Ter Stegen was absent due to the same problem. The defense has become fragile and this has made Barcelona fail in all competitions so far. There is only a chance in the Champions League, but the chance is 10/100 compared to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
