I don't think there will be a bigger dump for us to buy bitcoin cheaply. I think DCA is still the best method because the real bull season is not yet here and bitcoin has not made a new ATH yet.
You are making sense from this perspective. First bitcoin is yet to make a new ATH and secondly the anticipated bull run is likely not happening next year. Although, halving will be the first quarter of next year but I have read that the bull run does not happen immediately after halving. It takes more months for the major bull run to happen. If this be the case, theymos can still accumulate good fractions of Bitcoin without fear of lossing and the worse scenario will be that theymos will not maximise his profit but then he might also not lose.
However, if the market goes as speculated by many, Bob will be in better profit than theymos.

It is correct to say that he is young, but calling him a businessman is what I do not subscribe to. Reasons being;
  • A business man should be able to learn how to battle losses. He didn't behave like a business man
  • A business man will rather invest N2.5 million in busines and not in gambling
There are many untold stories about this incident, maybe with time we will get to know better. There's an African adage that says, "a child who goes to the village square of the masquerade, should be ready to dance the masquerade dance.

For long term hodlers, I don’t think it’s necessary to DCA if you have 100k available to spare. I’d rather observe the market for a good buy entry and invest.
I do not understand you here. Maybe you are not aligning with Mr. Theymos. But there's no $100k in the example or you wanted to type 10k.

At the current market condition and having bull run in mind, these persons have $10,000 to invest.

Depends on where did Bob enter, did he buy in one bulk last year, lowest low at $15,500? But in any case, I think it's going to be Mr. Theymos in the long run.
If you read the Op carefully, you will understand that the condition is stated very fine. It says at the current market condition.

Since there are limited funds, I will support the DCA strategy based on the current market. Because Bitcoin seems to be downtrending right now. So investing all the funds together is highly risky, and on the other hand, investing in random altcoins or shitcoins is more risky. So better buy from each dip and keep accumulating. That's why you aren't going to lose very much, though the profit won't be too high. If there were more funds on hand, then the strategy would be different.
It seems the DCA is better. The reason be that, if price continues upwards, Mr. Theymos will not make good profit but then he will not also lose. But if the market reverses downwards, Mr. Bob will lose.

I'm not really surprised that Manchester united is losing to Bayern, judging from their shaking form, I expected more goal margin from Bayern, Manchester united secures the bottom position on the group successfully, lol.  Was thinking Bayern will not play so actively, judging from the fact that they've qualified for the next round already, but they're not settling for any less and Manchester united is on the receiving end of their harsh decision.
Just because Erik Ten Hag used the same lineup against Chelsea in the EPL to win them doesn't mean they can win Bayern. However, it's the same here am not surprised at all. My anger is that Man United are not playing like they need the match. A game like this they cant even put up a fight at home. Sees like they don't even know what they are playing for. This group stage should be over son, so they can go and focus more in the EPL if by chance they could come out top 5 to compete for the next UCL. By then things may have change for good.
A well deserved end of journey for Manchester United. These dudes have no fighting spirit. Even though Bayern Munich played all their stars, the Bayern side was not aggressive which would have been a nice opportunity for Manchester United only if they put the same efforts they had against Chelsea. There was no force and no enthusiasm from the players. They didn't play as if they needed the win. Infact, when the first half ended, I really expected a very brutal second half but all to no avail. The Manchester United players were a way too gentle for my liking this night.

  • Mr. Bob goes 100% with bitcoin.
  • Miss Alice goes 50% bitcoin and 50% random altcoins.
  • Mr. theymos goes with bitcoin but $100 weekly DCA.

Bayern play with their best team, also Musiala is back in the starting line-up. But Bayern Munich dont have to win today, they can play without pressure. Manchester United are different, they have to win and that will be difficult. There were 7 goals in the first game, that was super entertaining. And Today, how longer the game goes on, the more offensive United will be and then the goals will come, maybe not until the 60th minute. I would bet on Kane scoring today.

That is our question why Munich is playing with their best squad even though this match doesn't mean anything for them and there will be a risk of injury. So far Bayern Munich has dominated the match and I agree with you, it looks like Munich will win today and Manchester United will not give up I mean they will score too So both teams to score is an interesting bet. In other matches, Galatasaray is still fighting but there have been no goals so far, it looks like this match will end in a draw.
Manchester United has done well in this first half. Many people must have predicted that Bayern Munich will have atleast one goal this first half but it didn't work that way. I also had thought that Harry Kane will have an excellent goal against Manchester United but his country man and namesake Harry Maguire didn't allow that happen. It is unfortunate for Manchester United that Harry Maguire is injured and had to leave in the first half.

I am believing that Manchester United will have a goal in the second half because they need it most. But the risk is that if either of Galatasary or Copenhagen becomes aware that Manchester United has scored, they will need to score also.

I wonder how Asto Villa will play against Arsenal... I'll bet on both teams to score... Probably Arsenal now looks stronger than Villa, but the last home match Villa won against Man City, and Arsenal with difficulty won Luton Town away... I hope that today will be no less interesting...
Aston Villa and Arsenal will be an interesting match to watch, both teams are in form. Aston Villa and Arsenal are among the teams to be afraid of in the Premier League this season, I see Arsenal dropping points at Villa Park. Liverpool will want to win against Crystal Palace in case Arsenal drops points against Aston Villa so they can top the Premier League table.
I have a very high inclination to support Arsenal and not only Arsenal but also Liverpool and any other club that will show interest to out perform Manchester city in the English premier League. It is not a very nice one that Manchester city will just dominate the English premier League that is always competitive for more than 3 seasons. I am no longer comfortable with such a development.

With this in mind, I can say that this is not the right time for Arsenal to meet a stubborn club like Aston Villa. If Aston Villa is playing against you, anything can happen at anytime.

If you ask me I will say only buy Bitcoin but I see why latecomers are attracted elsewhere, there are other cryptocurrencies with unique features & potential for large growth. Diversification is key for some people, It is advisable to research & understand the potential of different cryptocurrencies considering factors such as technology, adoption & market trends. Each cryptocurrency offers different opportunities & risks so a balanced investment strategy that includes a mix of cryptocurrencies may be more beneficial for some in the long run.
It is nice to spend more time researching than spend more time investing. When you have the right information, every other things will fall in place. The Idea of portfolio diversification is not as easy as it is being said. While Bitcoin investment might not require some tedious kind of research, investment in altcoins requires such a research.
That says volume of why many people fail in the altcoins investment because they do not have the skills or concentration to understand how the cryptocurrency market works as regards altcoins.

Does anyone have feedback of https://sbgok.org/ foundation?
They claim to help users like us. With some results already achieved
Yes, I just made a review round the website, and truly they claim to offer help to gamblers whose fund or winning is said to have been confiscated by a Curacao licensed Casino or Sportbooker, but however, from my little research, they fail to show how much success rate have they got ever since it started assisting people to recover their funds, as this alone is big enough to have motivate others into wanting to give this a try. While secondly, I also notice 1xbet been the key casino known to have been committing this dubious crime of refusing to pay it's users their due funds, which actually shows that 1xbet (i.e fiat use) or 1xbit (i.e Crypto use) had been a scammer for a very long time
If there is any platform that promises to help gamblers who lost money to recover same, they are supposed to show testimonies of the ones they have helped before. No one was supposed to remind them before they will show those testimonies because it is the testimonies that will help them. If they are unable to show any testimony, it therefore means they don't have good testimonies or let's say they started newly and not yet widely recognised.

Is there clear evidence that 1xbet and 1xbit are the same people. 1xbet is popular in social media and celebrities promote them, I am not sure they scam.

Newcastle were unlucky in that match and that was why they couldn't win the game. Everton needed the win but I was surprised at the performance of Everton as that game was like a life or  death match for them.
This isn't a matter of luck. But the Newcastle players were not able to execute their attacks well Not only that, they did control the game and the ball, but they only reached midfield, and were then hit by counter attacks several times. Meanwhile, with smaller statistics, Everton are actually more able to really attack towards the goal. And the effectiveness is quite good. The 3 - 0 result for Everton's victory and Newcastle's defeat was a bad experience for Newcastle..
There's no way we can say that a win that span to 3:0 is a luck. That is not a luck. A luck should be about 1:0 winning but anything more than that is not a luck again. It was a deserved winning. I wasn't able to view the match, so I was amazed at the result.

Meanwhile, Newcastle has been outstanding this recent times and we should not expect that they will continue in this great form till the end of the season. They will drop in the momentum for some matches and later take off again and this could be the down side of the club.

Hi All,

I currently have between £300 - £400 left over each week from my salary in which i have been transferring in to a savings account with 4.75% interest,
This weekly leftover is very huge and not even what people from my country earn monthly. I don't know when you started to be sending them to a savings account of 4.75% interest. Let us assume you started this year and assuming you were sending it into Bitcoin, you will definitely be on 100% plus profits.

My plan moving forward is to use £150 of the money available to me to purchase BTC & ETH every week with the long game in mind, but was looking for advice really on how i should split the money % wise between the two assets? 50 / 50?
I actually do not have much to say here but I will remind you that bitcoin is the king. So, in your portfolio, give king the lion share and all will be fine.

i currently hold 0.096* ETH & 0.0057* BTC and have been seriously considering investing more but not sure if the amounts i have available make this worth while?
I can say that 0.0057 BTC is a way too small holding for someone that has leftover of over $300 weekly. Although, it is advised to invest what you can afford to lose, but in your own case, it seems you don't trust BTC.

Without asking, you will understand that even with the merit system, there are good evidences of alt accounts and possibly account farming by some individuals. You have to imagine that if with the presence of the merit system, some people are still trying to spam up their accounts by posting low quality posts, and trying to buy merits and do shady activities to grow the account.
If this is like this presently, what happens when there was merit system. This means a crusade of spammers and I understood it was worse somewhere 2018 and this made some quality posters exited the forum to have their sanity.

Liverpool is of a better choice of wining the EUFA Europa cup this season, their performance has been stable in their recent games both in the premier league and the Europa cup competition, and I don't see any team capable of stopping their title race in Europe this season. Arsenal too is also doing well and terms of performance currently they are a bit ahead of Liverpool, but I kind of think that as the league progresses Liverpool will be ahead of the Arsenal team in the league.

Yeah indeed, Liverpool have a good chance, but that doesn't mean no team can thwart them. Although ya, I also recognize that Liverpool is the best team and has a very good chance also this season to be able to win the Europa League trophy . But ya, I believe in certain matches at least it is still possible for Liverpool to get a deadlock and then fail . Because ya, we will not really know what will happen later but indeed, for now I also agree that Liverpool have a very big chance to get a good achievement this season.
Indeed, I have to begin have double thoughts about this Liverpool being favourites of a thing. I have been projecting Liverpool because of their good performance but then I have also learnt from experience that in the Europa League, the favourites always floop and you will discover that an underdog will win the day.

Tottenham that people think will be a good competitor for Man City and Arsenal is now performing beyond expectations. After praising them during the weekend for playing 3-3 draw against Man City, they have resumed their poor performance by taking another against West Ham at their home stadium. This should be the second time West Ham is winning them if the match ends like this. Tottenham now instead of going the same points with Man City will remain with 27 points, the same as Man United in the fifth position; this has made the title challenge difficult for them because they don’t have squad depth and they lack consistency.
Sure, it is beyond people's expectation. Tottenham can be in the top 3 previously but they decreased their performance significantly and dropped their position in to 5th place now. If we look at the current position in the table, Tottenham still compete with Man City for UCL zone but they no longer compete for the title with Arsenal. Yes, Tottenham got a poor result against West Ham. They played at home and they played offensively, unfortunately they only could score 1 goal and conceded 2 goals. This is very severe lose, they must expect to get full points at home. It is surprising that Tottenham got a lose against mediocre team like West Ham.

About the consistency, both Tottenham and Man City played inconsistently. I don't see a very big difference between them now.  Grin


You do not need to complain about Tottenham and their inconsistency or whatever you will call it. I do not count them as the title contenders. The only team I am believing to fight with Manchester city to deprive them this season's English premier League is Liverpool and not even the Arsenal that is ontop of the table currently.

If you have to complain about Tottenham poor performance even when they played a relatively strong team as Westham. What then will you have to tell Newcastle United?

In my opinion, Felix is ​​not of Barcelona quality. If you have scored 2 goals in 12 games and have such bad statistics as a striker, if he cannot be permanent in Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid may not want him and I think he may now turn his route towards Saudi Arabia. Even though he is 24 years old, he is far from showing the required performance.
He can push himself to become a reliable striker. Ronaldo achieved what he has achieved now because he continues to push himself to become the best striker by practicing and being more disciplined than all his teammates, as well as Erling Haaland at Manchester City who is also reported to be An athlete who is disciplined enough with the training he has to undergo, otherwise Joao Felix will end up in the small leagues at a young age because elite clubs don't see him as a player worth fighting for in the team.
Is Joa Felix a striker?
I think he plays in the forward as a supporting striker and sometimes as a winger. Barcelona didn't trust him 100% to get the goals for them, that is why they have Lewandoski as the top striker. Even when Felix was in ATM, the lil time that Simone will use him, it is not always as a striker.
I do not see Felix as a bad player, so he is just too young for the option of Saudi Arabia. Being able to score against his club in a big match as that is also a glory to his stat. Even if both Barcelona and ATM will not be needing him, there are other clubs in Europe who will be needing his services.

Manchester United Vs Chelsea FC

This would have been a wonderful match to watch but I perceive that Manchester United players will not give enough pressure that will match the pressure of Chelsea. If there would be a matching pressure from Manchester United, the match would have been overly interesting to watch. Although meeting between these two clubs are interesting. Even if Manchester United guys are weak, they will wake because of Chelsea.

Luton Town really played very well... I bet on Arsenal to score more than two goals, but I didn't expect Luton Town to score three goals... The odds on Luton Town's goal were about 2.5... It was a great match, but Arsenal were lucky to stay in first place...
They were unexpected and indeed we must also appreciate Luton in this match because even they could comeback 3-2 after always being behind even though they could be equalised quickly.
But in this case Arsenal also don't want to waste the opportunity to go again from the top position because they have already gained momentum to maintain it.
An interesting match and I like in recent weeks where big clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool are always in trouble in the matches they do.
On the other hand I was also quite happy with Kai and Rice's performance in this game as they regained some momentum to get back to their lost form albeit a little slowly.
There are some kind of goals that make me emotionally in football. Honestly, from the start of the match, I had wished Arsenal to win the match in order to maintain a distant gap with City in the table. But Rice scoring a last second goal made me feel pity for Luton.

It is called Bitcointalk (BTT), not BCT.

First, let me correct you, it's either you call it Bitcointalk or BTT, not BCT.

Sorry for going off topic, but there are things I just can't let go Smiley.
No, no, no fucking no. Don't spread nonsense. There's no logic saying BTT.

Let's break down bitcointalk :
Bitcoin Talk
Bit Coin Talk
You can't write Bi Tcoin Talk ?? What does Tcoin mean ?

Do you say MS or MO for Microsoft ?
Do you say VW or VK for Volkswagen ?

And it's already been discussed in the past, the result is indisputable : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121806.0

Thanks for this... I have always called it BTT all my days here. From the analogy you discussed, BCT best fits. But then if we try to follow the right acronym of bitcoin which is BTC, it will be nice to say BTC best fits but just that it will not be smooth in pronouncing. Howbeit, we do not use audio in the forum.
I visited the reference thread you dropped and discovered that BCT was just slightly above BTCT in the pool.
