1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who says it's too late to buy Bitcoin? on: Today at 03:58:50 PM
Part of my point is:  Fuck the past.

Think about what are you (as a no coiner or a low coiner) going to do in relation to bitcoin today? right now.  Are you buying bitcoin right now or not?  Or are you just going to whine as a no coiner.. in the event of my hypothetical, I am specifically presenting you with a no coiner situation with a budget and with complete authority in regards to what this hypothetical no coiner does.  

Is this no coiner buying bitcoin or not?  or just going to continue to whine or are you going to tell him to wait for the dip?  
This question was asked many times in the past because Bitcoin has made many new all time highs and with each new ATH, this question appears.

With total 5270 days, and total 5261 profitable days in Bitcoin history, it's imaginable that how many times "Am I late with Bitcoin" question was asked. Perhaps it was asked thousands of days but in times, it's uncountable.

Those are good plans showed by Microstrategy and provably that we could see a lot more from them since they are aggressive and always show to people that they are always ready to accumulate more. More good situation to come especially if Trump would finally implement their Bitcoin strategic reserve and also these accumulation done by Microstrategy especially that there are many thing to look forwards with these events.
MicroStrategy plan is to make more green dots, they told us like this months ago and in January 2025, they made 2 more green dots.
https://saylortracker.com/

Two latest purchases were made on Jan 06 with 1070 BTC and Jan 13 with 2530 BTC.

Their CEO Michael Saylor posted on November 24, 2024.

They accumulated bitcoin so quickly, from 331,200 BTC at the time of that post, to 450,000 BTC now and total capital increases from $31.15B to $48.39B.

If we are talking of cryptocurrencies, we are talking of gambling. Just bitcoin is the only coins among them that I see with long term value.
The fact is bitter and painful for altcoin investors.

How many cryptocurrencies failed?
Ranked dead crypto coins by year.
Two types of altcoins.

Trump will soon finish his second Presidency that lasts only four years, and he will pass away too. What will be future of TRUMP meme coin after next 4 years or longer than 4 years?

I guess TRUMP meme coin will be another degen altcoin.

Barcelona drew this match maybe it was a surprise for everyone because this team can easily win against many strong teams but they can't easily win against weak teams. We recently saw that they performed very strongly in the Spanish Super Cup match and another match i.e. Copa del Rey also performed very Aggressively in this league. In other leagues their performance is consistent but they cannot maintain that consistency in Laliga.

Looking at the La Liga points table, it is clearly observed that Barcelona have failed to win a single match in their last four matches. But their opponent team i.e. Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are winning the matches regularly, as a result, they are currently at the top of the standings.
Barcelona are playing like making joke, they fell down too quickly in La Liga and lost first two positions to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. They won against Real Madrid in a final match with very big win, and returning to La Liga with a disappointed draw against a weak opponent, Getafe.

They now have 5 points less than Atletico Madrid with same 20 matches, but if Real Madrid win their match, they will make 7 points in difference with Barcelona. Barcelona can hope that they will beat Real Madrid again in a second El Clasico in La Liga, but even so, it won't be enough for them. Point difference will possibly be reduced to 4, but with poor performances against weak opponents in La Liga, Barcelona have risk to lose more points before that second El Clasico.

I also saw it at $37 but today I was surprised that it rose to $67 and then made a big green candle at $98 and suddenly dropped, maybe a whale bought a large amount in a moment.

Anyway, the Trump meme craze continues and the coin achieved amazing trading volume on the first day, even achieving a market cap of over 6 billion in the first 12 hours of its launch, the amount of money being pumped into this meme is unreasonable, of course the only reason is that Trump officially adopted it.
This market cycle is crazy and unprecedented as it was triggered by Bitcoin, surely it is the first coin to rise, then meme coins. Solana and meme coins have a very bullish cycle but Ethereum and BNB sucks so far, BNB made its new all time high but not too impressive. Ethereum did not make its new all time high in this market cycle.

TRUMP crazy rise recent days is another example on this crazy market cycle for meme coins.

In long term, meme coins are degen altcoins and people must be very careful with meme coins.
The two types of altcoins.
Degen altcoins will have similar charts like the following chart.

Juventus managed to dominate the match in the match but there were some weaknesses in the attack line because some of the opportunities obtained were not completed well and maybe this is what the coach needs to fix a little if he wants to continue the positive trend in the future.
Juventus now are in top four with a fourth position but they will have to wait for result of Lazio today. It's only a temporary fourth position for Juventus but it can give them a lot of motivation to fight for that position in next weeks. Juventus are not too far from top four of Serie A when above clubs got their problems and bad results recent weeks.

Anyways, at least I predicted this game correctly. What a lovely odds right?  Grin  Napoli won by 3-2 and once again they beat Atalanta away. I wasn't wrong with my bad feeling about Atalanta in this game.
It's an impressive home-away win for Napoli and it means a lot because Atalanta had a series of 15 unbeaten matches before this match. Napoli is a first club in Serie A managed to beat Atalanta after 15 recent matches even that opponent had 3 draws recently in Serie A. This win helps Napoli to expand point difference against Atalanta and they have to wait for Inter Milan result today too like Juventus have to wait for Lazio performance today.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone. Politicians declare their support for Bitcoin adoption by promising to facilitate cryptocurrency activities, which encourages more people to trust the market and thus trust politicians. Investors, in turn, benefit from this unspoken agreement and support politicians. Regardless of whether these promises are fulfilled or not, there is likely to be little results.
Politicians and their family members can take advantage of possible policies and get profit too. Like Trump as the USA. President Elect, publicly talked about his friendly plans for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. He did not hide that his family member are big fans and also investors in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Doing things with policies is very profitable, if you can do it successfully. Trump has many reasons for his family to open more space for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the USA, but benefit for his nation is bigger too. Blockchain technology changed the world and will change it more, so a big nation like the USA. don't want to stay outside or see blockchain companies migrate from their nation to other countries because they have bad policies for this industry.

Quite what Conte has done this season with Napoli because they returned to the top of the table after last season they experienced a significant setback to the top 10 of the standings, but they finally returned again this season with a pretty good performance, and the next match which is quite an interesting match, they will fight Atalanta in the match later, Atalanta is also a team that has a pretty good improvement this season after they won the Europa League last season which defeated Bayer Leverkusen, currently Atalanta is doing well in Serie A and also the Champions League,
Conte tried to use available players in Napoli and maximize results for them, but Napoli actually don't have too good player resource, and the transfer of Kravat to PSG will affect them a lot. Perhaps the player no longer wanted to play for Napoli and they did not have any choice rather than selling the player to PSG.

He is important for creativity in their attacking system and without him, Lukaku will receive less support so that Napoli wil have more difficulty to find goals. They don't have too strong attacks but by having solid defense, they try to win with minimal results in most of matches. With possible weaker attacking power, they will have more troubles for getting goals and it can affect their results in Serie A.

The match with Atalanta is important for both of them but Scudetto won't belong to any club after this direct match and Atalanta look to have better attacks, and in a long season, they can have better chance to win Scudetto than Napoli.

As long as Bitcoin investment is concerned there's no time you cannot invest in Bitcoin, so there's nothing like too late in Bitcoin investment. Although it depends on how you plan your self, because if you plan your self very well and set up a good goal aside from your Bitcoin investment it will going to help you hold for a long period of time. Because you can decide to use DCA method to invest in Bitcoin either weekly or monthly regardless of the market price.
Think of two possible opposite futures.

If price continues to rise, you can buy low, sell high and it means you will get profit. It's not too late to buy Bitcoin in this scenario.
If price does not continue its rise, the issue is not like "It's too late to buy Bitcoin", but it is Bitcoin no longer good and profitable to buy for anyone, not only you. It means you are earlier to exit your position or avoid a sinking ship.

DCA is a good strategy for Bitcoin investment.

Newcastle vs Bournemouth

Bournemouth too very impressive because they can occupy 8th place but certainly Newcastle is much better than them and i have tell about this before that Newcastle player Alexander Isak is onfire too and he has scores 5 times in a row for Premier league matches so he will make a difference in this match and help Newcastle to beat Bournemouth today
Bournemouth are strong and have impressive matches so far and they are actuallly not too far behind Newcastle United, only 4 points less. This match can be a chance for Bournemouth to beat Newcastle United and reduce 4 point difference to only 1 point, and continue their fight for a slot to Europe next season. There are many clubs in this race but Bournemouth with their impressive form in this season, are going to make history and get as highest rank as possible in this season.

Make no mistake Bournemouth also has a good road record although not like Newcastle but certainly this will be a fierce opponent for this match, currently still not checking the betting odds market what are the odds for Newcastle and still curious to bet on Isak scoring because he always scores throughout the match.
If Newcastle win then this will be even closer to Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle United went a long journey to be in top four with a very hot competition for limited spots, especially they did not start this season too well, but now a fourth position above Chelsea is very big achievement for them. It's termporary only and Newcastle United will have to make nearly no mistakes in many future matches, to secure that position successfully. The air of Champions League they experienced two seasons ago are great and they are fighting to be there again next season.

Man City have now tied down their prized asset on a long-term deal to prevent Haaland from leaving the Etihad Stadium amid speculation he could leave for Real Madrid. The newly agreed long-term contract gives him the chance to beat Alan Shearer record as the EPL's all-time top scorer. But on the downside, he must be prepared to face various risks, including the possibility of sanctions that could befall City for the (115 Financial violations scandal) they are currently facing.
City are currently facing the possibility of sanctions in the form of points deductions, stripping of the title or relegation to a lower division.
Haaland can easily find another big club as his next destination because nowadays there are very little world class classic striker like Haaland. Manchester City are fearful that they can lose Haaland anytime if they won't tie him by a very long term contract and high compensation fee for breaking his contract.

This new contract means Manchester City don't want to lose Haaland easily and don't want to leave with uncertain about their striker position. This season can be a failure for them but they will rebuild their squad next summer transfer season. By signing this contract, Haaland is considered as a core player in Manchester City plan for several years ahead. It is a recognition of Haaland's important role in Manchester City, now and in near future.

I hope this will never happen of course, but for who have invested capitals, it may be a question someone have answered accurately to avoid an important loss.
You can avoid big loss by using orders like Stop loss order, or Stop limit order.

Reflecting on last night's match against Celta Vigo there was a change that Don Carlo made, he rotated Tchouameni back to his original position, on the other side Ancelotti played their young defender. the result was quite good, although the opposing team had equalized. but as we know Madrid was able to finish the match with a victory, proven by the final score of 5-2. even so Celta is not an equal opponent, so Ancelotti still has work to do to strengthen his team especially in the defense sector. as you said, that some of his rival teams namely Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have sharp strikers in terms of scoring goals. but we'll just see how Ancelotti handles his team and anticipates his opponent later, what is certain is that Madrid has a chance to advance beyond the semifinals.
It is a win to heal their pain after a big defeat by Barcelona, but this match is not too important with Real Madrid. They will have more important matches in La Liga and Champions League, where they are fighting for two big titles. I am really not doubtful about ability of Carlo Ancelotti in management and tactics, he is good at it.

Two big defeats by Barcelona in this season don't mean he is a bad coach, we will see how he and Real Madrid finish this season, with La Liga and Champoins League titles, one of these two titles or no title at all. If they end this season without these titles, it's accurate to say this season is a failure for Carlo and Real Madrid. Now it is too early for saying so as many matches are ahead and they still have good opportunities to win those titles that can cover two big defeats by Barcelona.

Ohhh, this new deal looks quite amazing. Not only he made 500 million from them so far, he will make another 180 million, and he will have 5% of the club as well. Not that it would make any good income for him, but he could sell it later on some other time. I do not know when and how much it would worth, after all there is no guarantee that his 5% would worth anything in the future, Saudi league looks to be entertaining right now, but it doesn't look like it may continue to be like this forever, maybe they will stop investing this much into football at some point, at which point 5% would mean a lot less.

Still, even just the money alone is a huge deal, 183 million for one more year, and he could maybe reach 1000 goals that way, if not, I am pretty sure he could just stay for another year and another year until he reaches 1000 goals. This is a great achievement that would probably not be broken for many years to come, we may never see anyone who score that much in our lifetime.
It's a very big deal financially for Cristiano Ronaldo as many players can not have $183M in salary through their player career and here Cristiano Ronaldo will have it only within one season. Ighalo criticized Cristiano Ronaldo about his motivation of joining Saudi Professional League two years ago, it's about money, not about to explore a new league, and to change Saudi Professional League.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo knows and can be honest about his reasons, but if I was him, I won't refuse chances to get about $700M just within 3 seasons when I am about 40 years old.

Inter should maintain the winning to shift Napoli's standing, but as you said Bologna is playing impressive while playing away from home. I admit Bologna is pretty much in control of the match, they know how to lock Martinez and friends and try to counterattack. And the incident yellow card for Inzaghi is maybe not fair enough after Thuram got a hard tackle outside the penalty box, that free kick should have been converted into a goal if the referee had given Inter Milan a free-kick, instead of giving cards to Inzaghi.

Inter still has 1 match left, they still have a chance to shift Napoli's position if they are able to defeat Empoli next Monday.
Inter Milan can have same total points like Napoli but with better goal difference, they will take over the first position from Napoli, if they have same 47 points. Then two first clubs will have 4 points more than Atalanta at a third position but even so Scudetto will continue to be a race among three clubs, Napoli, Inter Milan and Atalanta. 4 point difference is not too small but not too big, and one match day can change a lot of things among three competitors.

Inter Milan with their quality, experience, and good balance between attack and defense, are the best candidate for Scudetto in this season. Napoli have problems with attacking system that is not too good and they can lose points by don't have too powerful attacking system. Atalanta have good attacking power but they need to improve their defense if wanting to compete with Napoli, especially Inter Milan for Scudetto.

How are you certain that the suspension of withdrawals on the Mudrex exchange is temporary? Nobody is sure if the Mudrex team will open withdrawals on the Mudrex exchange on the 28th of January as they promised. I think something bad has happened to the Mudrex exchange, and I see the upgrade that Mudrex CEO mentioned they are running on the Mudrex exchange as a cock-and-bull story that will help them buy a lot of time to try and fix the problem on the Mudrex exchange, and if they can't fix the problem before the 28th of January, I believe withdrawals will not be open on the Mudrex exchange. People should stop keeping their assets on centralized exchanges so that they will not find themselves in situations like this.
They can fix issues, and reopen withdrawals for users, or they can die and disappear like many dead exchanges in history.

When an issue with withdrawal occurs, it's not good signal about that centralized exchange operation, and maybe worse things will come later. We don't know about future, but it's not good signal for their business and as users, you have many reasons to be fearful about future if their exchange and your money that stucks on it temporary now.

I am sure if they reopen withdrawals for users, people will panicly withdraw money and make a bank run on Mudrex.

For any new Bitcoin strategic reserves from any government, you can publish such news in Strategic Bitcoin Reserve threads.

It is a hub for Bitcoin strategic reserves and related news in future, and by having all news in that thread, you can more easily get information and compare Bitcoin strategic reserves from different countries.

Time to look this thread, in my opinion.

CR will remain playing in the Arab country for another season and will do so with a most unassailable cash deal. however, his association with Al-nasr will not end and appears to be a long-term bond to strengthen the ORANGE team, which is loyal to him against temptations to join playing clubs. The Portuguese star will become part of the ownership team, although with a minor stake that indicates their trust in him.
Orange team, really?
The main color for Al Nassr shirt is yellow, not orange.

Al Nassr agreed to sign a new contract with Cristiano Ronaldo but they reduced salary for him, it's still very lucrative salary but a little lower than a previous deal. Only Cristiano Ronaldo knows what he want and why he decides to continue with Al Nassr and in Saudi Professional League. Money obviously but maybe other reasons like being a first player who can score 100+ goals in five leagues from Europe to Asia. He did it in Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and by staying one more season with Al Nassr, he will achieve it in Saudi Professional League.

Quote
Cristiano Ronaldo is looking to surround himself with players he trusts. One of them, as marca foresees, could be Casemiro due to the problems the Brazilian has had with regard to Manchester United's specific situation and the incompatibility between his game and that of the ideas of the new coach.
Money and goals are what he got so far but no title, and it's really hard to win title if his teammates can not play well. Al Nassr have to improve their squad from midfield to defense to win titles in a next season. If they fail to do this in a next transfer season, they will continue to be at either 2nd or 3rd position in Saudi Professional League.

Their "effective" counterattack strategy has lost them 26 points to date, at which point I will start asking myself what is so effective in this.
Juventus are not effective in attacking so they can not do counter attacking tactic effectively too. To have effective counter attacks, Juventus must have very good midfielders who can switch from defense to attack very quickly with one or two passes, and a mandatory condition is having a very good striker to convert scarce chances from counter attacks to goals.

In Juventus this season, they don't have a good striker like that as Vlahovic in 2024 - 2025 season is no longer a good striker like 2 or 3 seasons ago. This makes Juventus counter attacks are less powerful and not effective at all, so that they lost many points by choosing it as their main tactic in this season.

In some matches when Juventus attacking players scored goals, their defenders performed terribly and their opponents scored goals too, so Juventus lost points with many draws by both bad attacking and defense.
