1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: February 11, 2026, 08:31:07 PM

Sure, taking a profit from your investment is not a bad thing, everyone invests to make profit. But I hardly see an investor who sell off their Bitcoin after they have held for a long time. If you have hold for at least 10 years, it is not a bad idea to sell part of it because you own it, and the effort you put in to ensure you hold for a long time. If Bitcoin has been improving in previous years, I believe we should consider what Bitcoin price will be in the next 10 years.

Some people will set a target themselves to buy Bitcoin, and after they hit the target, they will stop buying, but that does not mean they should sell everything after putting all the efforts to start over again. If you start again, the price will not drop down, and you will not have the advantage you had back then, and that sounds like someone selling and hoping to buy back at a lower price.

I think it depends on the reason why you sold, yea. If your reason for selling is because you think you have saved up for 10 years and then, it's time for you take off some, then am afraid you are doing it wrong because such practices is retarding and slows your investment or accumulated assets. Perhaps, 10 years may not even be enough for you to hold, since we can't bank on bitcoin price, because the lower it falls, then, the lower your expected income or profit, and on the other hand, your accumulation amount too, you wouldn't have accumulated much if you are buying with little DCA amounts.

So I think the concept of selling off some junk of your investments if you have held for sometime and has made some gains isn't right and such is not enough and/or tangible reason to sell. If you still HODL longer, it's still yours and you still stand a chance to reap better gains ahead, offcourse, imagining what bitcoin price will be in the next 10 years should even be an encouragement to even HODL. Think long term, not short time gains

I think it’s not really a bad idea taking some profits if an investor who’s been accumulating bitcoin and hold for over this period of 10 years and have gotten to his accumulation target or even over accumulation. Because sometimes within this period of 10 years of consistent accumulation and investing, it’s possible that this individual has been retired from his job and at such he doesn’t have any more strength of working elsewhere, or couldn’t secure a job elsewhere to earn money due to age factors. So yea, this individual can resort to living up with his bitcoin investment profit and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with such if that be the case. He can apply the sustainable withdrawal method of taking his profit to be living off it while still maintaining his portfolio as he has already accumulated a decent amount of bitcoin and hold over the years, 10 years of consistent accumulation and hold isn't 10days remember.

The Bitcoin is dead notion that is being said are from people who missed investing in Bitcoin, so they will always pray that it continues falls and talk bad about it so that people will be afraid to invest. This same talk usually happens in every cycle, you would hardly a Bitcoin holder saying that kind of thing. That's we keep telling our fellow holder to know how to exercise patience,  keep your emotions in place because we are in period where the market will test us. And alot of people will fall into the temptations of selling their Bitcoin because they feel their money might reduce to zero. But this period is also an opportunity to accumulate at a good price with your DCA. The core idea of Bitcoin hasn’t changed which includes it limited supply, strong network, and growing acceptance. These are the things that keeps its longitivity.

There’s always opportunities to accumulate Bitcoin, there was never a time that there’s no opportunity to participate in Bitcoin accumulation, those person with pessimistic notion about Bitcoin, most of them has learnt the hard truth that they never wanted to accept and have started accumulating Bitcoin, while those still sticking to their negative mindset about Bitcoin, probably has no knowledge about it.
The opportunity to buy Bitcoin is at any time. When you have the ability to buy, you can invest. There is no problem in this, but the problem will be when you delay buying despite having the financial ability to buy. Bitcoin needs to be deposited consistently, and for this you first need to gain the right understanding about Bitcoin, usually people have the wrong idea about it due to lack of sufficient knowledge, and they make the wrong decisions, but those who have knowledge and faith about Bitcoin can keep themselves stable in the long term, so having knowledge also plays a very important role here.

Bitcoin can be invested at any time if the investor can motivate himself with his discretionary income. However, investing in Bitcoin is easier than holding it for a long time according to the simple strategy. Because the longer the Bitcoin investment, the more profitable it will be, a person can keep Bitcoin for a long time by following the DCA method, because repeated Bitcoin purchases will create a long-term Bitcoin investment. That is why investing in Bitcoin according to the DCA method is the most effective method and can be successful quickly.


Anyone who is investing in bitcoin should be able to know that it’s a long term project and so I don’t see any discrepancies between investing in bitcoin and holding bitcoin because when you’re buying and holding bitcoin for long term purpose, it clearly shows that you are investing in bitcoin. The only difference should be between investing and trading bitcoin. When someone buys and sell bitcoin when it’s not yet time to do so, simply because of the desire for a quick gain, such person is trading bitcoin, but when you’re buying constantly and holding on to it for long term aim without panicking to sell for a quick profit or when  experiencing a little market downturn then you’re actually investing in bitcoin and which is the right strategy for following up with bitcoin investment.

And for sure, investing with the DCA method can be very effective as you’re constantly or regularly allocating a portion of your discretionary income into buying bitcoin either weekly or monthly basis depending on how your income flows, that way you are always active in accumulating bitcoin irrespective of the price. Bitcoin is highly volatile and at such nothing is really guaranteed and not to talk of a quick success, so your focus should be on consistent accumulation of it and hodl for long term purpose let’s say 5-10 years and try ti gradually build up your portfolio and meet your accumulation target or over accumulation. And for sure, bitcoin rewards long term holders.

Chelsea will be hosting leeds United today, well in this game Chelsea look favorite to win, they hav been in a very good foam since the new boss took charge and a win today will be 5 straight win in the league for Chelsea. Leeds United caused Chelsea problems in the first leg, they even secured all 3 points in that game.


I don't expect a surprising result from Chelsea truthfully. Liam Rosenior is doing a pretty good job lately. They have been winning for 4 weeks in the PL!

Leeds shouldn't be a big obstacle at Stamford Bridge. They should just be careful about Calvert-Lewin... But it's said he might not be a starter due to an injury.
Chelsea have bottled a two goal leads, second goal conceded was thanks to awful defensive error. We need to do better sincerely but sadly I think we might end this game in a tie which will make our top four race more uncertain. Leeds has been able to get the best out of us Home and now as the away team and this is often from defensive lapses, we seriously need to do better. These past wins as been making many ignoring the fact that we are terrible at the backline.

Leeds have had a decent run of form in their last few games and coming to claim a 2:2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge wasn’t really surprising to me, they won Chelsea in the first leg in their home ground so they are really fired up for this particular encounter. It’s quite a disappointing result for the Chelsea players especially after taking a two goal leads and then throwing it out and allowing Leeds to come back to the game. With the strong starting line up of Chelsea in this very game you could sense that they actually wanted to win this game, but sometimes football can be very unpredictable. It has ended 2:2 at Stamford Bridge tonight.

17 February is slowly approaching and we can finally talk about the Champions League again.
I can't wait for it to start again! Because I'm curious to find out which eight teams will face the top eight in the standings.
In my opinion, the top eight will be
Inter
PSG
Real Madrid
Juventus
Borussia Dortmund
Atletico Madrid
Leverkusen
Newcastle

What do you think?

If you should go by papers and with names, no doubt this eight teams are rightly in the forefront of being the eventual teams to emerge winners in the playoffs to meet the other top eight teams for the round of sixteen. But football isn’t played on papers but it’s played on the pitch and considering the current form of most of this team’s especially Atletico Madrid who are not really consistent in winning games currently it’s going to be difficult for them to emerge winners. Don’t forget that there’s also Galaterssary who are Turkish champion and current leaders of the Turkish league facing juventus in the playoffs, that game for me is going to be a very tricky tie of the playoffs.

Best thing to do in time like this firstly , silent the noise . Yeah in time like this there will be a lot of noise especially from social medias , some will come out saying bitcoin is going to $10k  and so on . But that shouldn’t be your focus right now , those talking about the dip blablabla , the dip is here already just keep up your accumulation pace , even when dcaing you can still buy the dip while doing so .

Those that are waiting for the dip will be feeling themselves now and some may even decide to wait even further , but don’t forget this is Bitcoin we are talking about and the market is unpredictable this may end up being the last time  you’ll see Bitcoin at 5 digits , and then the next dip you’ll be waiting for would be at 6 digit .

Those noise they are making out there can only affect those who are giving them attention, in as much as I know that I haven't reach my investment goal or the status of overaccumulation I would silent the noise maybe I could start paying attention to those their noise after I must have get to where i destined to be, if at all I would even have the time to be listening to them. It is only an investor that doesn't have plan for him or herself that can give attention to those side talks, majority of those who are  talking about Bitcoin in a very bad way might have reach their investment goal probably just looking for someone they could poison/ or delay but most people seems not to understand this secret.
Such noise is very funny. Let me ask, is it the first time that such is happening? Definitely no! So what's the noise about and why should anyone get skeptical about such noise. Then they should just go to what I think is the highest noise which is saying that Bitcoin is losing its existence but that's not the case, so why worry? There's no point worrying about these bear market as a long-term holder. Since the target has been circles, these period is a time to keep accumulation going.

Just like they usually say many are ready for the up but are not ready for the down . Is also part of the game , in all investment there are always up and down so what now make Bitcoin different, when we all refer to it as bitcoin investment  .

So you are not ready for the down too , better not to invest because with such mindset you are only going to keep messing up your investment, because you can’t handle the market down moment (deeps ) .

It’s so dumb for a long term investor not to embrace the bearish side of bitcoin, which of course is supposed to be the most happiest period every one should be happy to  accumulate more bitcoin stash at such a reduced rate and add to their portfolio. Maybe majority weren’t informed about this that after the bullish season comes to bearish market. The earlier an investor starts taking advantage of the opportunity the dip presents to them now, the better it will be because if they don’t things might just take a U-turn within the slightest seconds, and those who grabbed the opportunity will be happy they do so in the nearest future while those who didn’t will surely wish they did earlier. It’s just like the saying that goes “after the rain comes the shine”.

6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26 on: February 09, 2026, 07:54:23 AM


In this match,, Real Madrid managed to beat Valencia with a score of 0-2, and it was a pretty good result, although basically I am not too satisfied with the performance of Real Madrid players in this match. Because in this match, Real Madrid still looked very blunt in their attack line. But I am not surprised by their performance like this, because we all also know that Real Madrid's performance is currently very chaotic. Besides, in this match I did not see Vinicius, I do not know where he is,, whether injured or rested by the team. But if he played, maybe the result would be slightly better, because in this match Real Madrid did not have a wing side that could play better. And with this victory, Real Madrid is again close to Barcelona at the top of the standings. But I am sure Barcelona will not be afraid of this, because Barcelona is 100 percent ready to become champions again this season.


Image source: Google
Real Madrid won and it still looks like they’re struggling to win games, maybe I will have to think that they’re not being taken seriously, it is still proving to be one of the best seasons so far in terms of the competition in the Spanish League, Barcelona are also very strong and I feel that they are a very good and strong team, they’re the only strong team in that League the rest of teams aren’t doing well, they’re all trash, just imagine Athletico Madrid loosing to Real Betis, that is just an evidence to tell you how terrible the other teams in the leagues are, they’re not just challenging for the title, they buy players every transfer window, and you will never see Athletico Madrid talk about sacking Simeone, because I’m obviously thinking he has over stayed in that club and he should be leaving the club, the club definitely needs something new and exciting different.


This Atletico Madrid team are only looking serious and scary on papers but in real life they can’t even bite. I’m thinking the team is lacking in their ambitions currently, probably the players aren’t performing to standards right now, year in year out they are always comfortable coming out 3rd or 4th position in the league and leaving out Barcelona and Real Madrid in the title race almost all season. Even when Barcelona and Real Madrid sacked their coaches for bad results you hardly see Atletico Madrid talking of sacking their coach for poor performances, I know the coach someone is a legend of the club and have actually took the club this far and won a title for them sometimes you have to move forward as an ambitious team.
7  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Caused the Sudden Crash and Fast Recovery? on: February 09, 2026, 07:44:42 AM
The sudden crash doesn't really need explanation and the fast recovery is because the market decided that the price is highly undervalued.
Just remember that when there is a crash and the crash just got too deep it seemingly abnormal, there is a high chance people buying back in masses and the price will swiftly recover.
That just how the market works.

The bitcoin market largely moves in a way that no one can predict what will happen in the next minutes, of course whenever bitcoin crashes deeply like this people or investors will always try to buy more at such a reduced price and when this happens bitcoin tends to recover. But then again, bitcoin have several factors responsible for its volatility and most of this factors are very much unknown to us so no one can really say the exact cause of this volatility but one thing is for sure that it will always recover despite going down at some point in time.

Several times I’ve had an off bet with a close friend and even with my brother and at the end of the day the the agreement were not honored, we get mad at each other initially but at the end of the day we just get over it and didn’t really take it to heart. We know the implications of what this kind of thing can bring to the family, friends and relatives so it’s even more advisable not to bet with a close friend or relative if you know you’re not easily letting go of anything just for peace to reign.

This is where the difference between an investor and a trader comes in. Investors prioritize long-term profits, which are likely to be large, even though there is a possibility of loss, but if you invest with proper research, long-term investments are relatively less risky, especially in Bitcoin. A trader always focuses on short-term investments, even though the profit is small and the trade is risky, they tend to be greedy for cash. At some point, they may realize their mistake, but it is too late.

In order to start investing or succeed in investing, you need to have patience and behavioral control in addition to the knowledge of maintenance. The sign of a good investor is that they are foresight

Investment mindset borne out of greed and desire for a quick profit mostly doesn’t ends well especially In bitcoin investment. The moment an investor starts his bitcoin investment with the amount he or she cannot afford to lose, or you invest with money meant to sort out your basic financial obligations, or you start investing with the money you will be needing anytime soon then what you’re doing is gambling with the bitcoin investment and not outright investing because you will soon sell your holdings at a time that the investment is not ripe enough so that you can be able to have some money to sort out your needs or for an emergency situation, and by so doing you might be selling at a big loss due to the volatility of bitcoin . In a nutshell, to avoid turning your investment into gambling then you must invest with a discretionary income and also make and arrangement to build up your emergency funds incase of and emergency situations so that you don’t tend towards selling your bitcoin investment at an early stage especially when you are still in accumulation phase of bitcoin.

I'm having this strong feelings that this dude Frank Ilett is shaving his hair comes this weekend, this guy Frank Ilett has vow never to shave his hair until Manchester United wins five games in a row and it's been almost a year or probably a year plus he refuse to shave and he has kept it growing for that long but I really think the time has come for him to cut it down because I don't really see Manchester United to lose to Westham after all the struggle they have been through with those big teams I don't see Westham to be a barrier, but Truth be told I admire his courage it's not really an easy task he's given upon himself.

It all depends on the Manchester United players now as they travel on the road. It should be a must win, not because of this block but also because it is mandatory and the culture of Manchester United.
West Ham United are beginning yo find themselves out of relegation but of they could fall prey to a Chelsea side with flaws, then Manchester United will most definitely grace the chance to inflict more pain on them in the red zone.
I do see this blog as a must for Manchester United to have the win no matter what the case may be. I know it will not be an easy one for Manchester United, as we know, this West Ham United are a stubborn one as well. So if Manchester United want to have a win, they need to perform to their best as well. I'm hoping Manchester United will have a win in this one, and this is a must win. Let's get the hair cut and have a new look.

If not for anything I think Manchester United have to do it for this dude, they need to take it as a challenge upon themselves this time around to win the next game to make it 5 wins in a row so that this guy can cut his hair. It’s a challenge the dude has thrown to the Manchester United players that if they can win 5 games in a row he will have his hair cut and since that time till now they’ve not been able to conquer this challenge and it’s quite embarrassing for a club like Manchester United. Now they’ve been able to win 4 matches and remaining just one game to make it 5 and I don’t think they can let this one down. But west ham could possibly pose a little threat to them as they are also struggling to find themselves out of the relegation zone, and yea they should be aware that Manchester United will try everything to win the game against them so they also will try to spoil the party for united. It’s really going to be an interesting game.

My BIDs from $65,000 down to $61,000 were FILLED! Cool

The 200-Weekly SMA is still about $58,000. My next BIDs are in $60,000 down to $55,000. Plus to be absolutely honest, I NEVER expected Bitcoin to crash so quickly near the 200-Weekly SMA during the beginning of the Bear Cycle. Does THAT give Bitcoin a higher probability to crash down to probably $50,000 to $45,000?

That's not a forecast. It's merely a genuine question for my fellow plebs.

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even though you might be proclaiming that it’s not a forecast, I still think that you’re getting yourself distracted by the market fluctuations. If you’re ongoingly buying bitcoin, market trends and price fluctuations shouldn’t be a case of much concern to you because the moment you start showing concern about market conditions you’re easily falling to getting yourself distracted and with this most newbies whose initial strategies has been to regularly buy bitcoin with the DCA method the moment they are able to figure out a discretionary income will start getting themselves distracted and confused too which could be very misleading. We plebe instead of trying to get ourselves distracted by the market fluctuations, it’s rather simple we put that energy into figuring out a discretionary income to use for our regular bitcoin accumulation and hold as long term investors and not quick profit traders.
12  Other / Archival / Re: why are the tears more when bitcoin price drops? on: February 07, 2026, 10:35:54 PM
People have actually their own choices not to resort on these, but they normalized these feelings because they allow these to happen. When bitcoin price drops, they easily get hurt and depressed, and some cross the line by taking suicide. But do these actions prevent theirselves from losing? No, they just worsen the effects on them.

This is why when you invest or trade especially in a volatile asset, never expect too much. You can win or lose, and that's very normal because you are dealing in a very unpredictable market.

But if you want to be safer, just invest or trade on what you can afford to lose. And just play the market smartly, don't put all your hopes high, because when expectations aren't met, frustration and depression are hard to resist.

When you invest in bitcoin with the wrong mindset such as the expectation of making a quick profit then there’s a possibility of facing these aforementioned disasters. It’s very important to note that bitcoin is very volatile and nothing is really guaranteed so zero your mind and focus just on long term accumulation and gains. Invest only when you have a discretionary income so you don’t go about panicking when there’s a little downturn in the market, the DCA method will really help to mitigate the risk of loosing out entirely.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we gamble? on: February 07, 2026, 08:53:58 PM
for me I think we gamble for both reasons even if we don’t always admit it.

I don’t think most gamblers are lying when they say they do it for fun, it’s just that when we lose our mindset quietly shifts from I’m enjoying this to I need to get it back & that part is usually the unspoken truth so yeah gambling starts as fun but staying aware of when fun turns into frustration is the real challenge once you know that line it’s easier to stay honest w/ yourself.

Personally I gamble because I want To double my money or capital, I don’t think there’s fun in losing money, so the real fun comes when you’re winning and increasing your money and that’s the reason why people do gamble. Although sometimes I gamble because I just feel like if I don’t do it I might miss out on some winning opportunities even though I don’t have any need for it at that moment probably because I felt I still have some extra cash with me that I can do away with.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: February 07, 2026, 07:28:43 PM
I'm patiently waiting to see the club that will bring Manchester United winning streak to an end because I don't think that they will lose their next match since they're currently on fire. If United can win the rest of their matches which I know that the chance of that happening is very slim, they might finish above 4th position where they're currently.

Man united has now won 4 games in a row. They've been playing well and I really hope they can make it and win 5 games in a row. That would be nice. I would admit, I'm a bit curious myself on the club that's going to break United's winning streak. The game today with Tottenham was another testament of how the team has gotten better and more in sync.
It sure would be crazy if Man united went on to win the rest of the games they've got to play till the end of the season. While the chances are there, it's slim. But if they can remain motivated and with the good performance, the possibility of moving further up is there.
Good game and a well deserved win for Man united.
Halt the fantasy bro, it's too obvious. You're greedy with your expectations and isn't even considering the possibilities of a draw. One thing is certain, if United continues their positive form, they could pick up the ticket for champions league next season since they are getting back in shape real good. The worst mistake Manchester united would make this time around is to relieve Carrick of his position soon enough, maybe after the season. They should better retain him since it is obtainable he is returning the team to past glory of when himself was a player.

Chelsea had a very poor second half and were mostly struggling in the match, they allowed Wolves find their footing so well and started pressuring them. They were lucky for the giveaway penalties of the first half, else they would've shared points with Wolves. In the end they got the 3 points and retained their fifth position, still trailing Manchester United by a point.

Wolves were already loosing to Chelsea by 3 goals to zero earlier on in the first half in their own stadium, so it’s widely expected that in the second half they will come out to play as they have nothing to lose again. Eve the coach himself will tell them the same thing to go all out in the second half and play more aggressively and that’s exactly what they did and luckily they got rewarded by a goal from the Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare. Chelsea wouldn’t have lost that game even if they weren’t awarded those penalties, as a matter of fact they already see off the game in the first half, so the second half was just for them to take thing s more slowly but if it were to be with a more stronger opponent I think they wouldn’t take such risk of underrating wolves in the second half.

Former Chelsea and French star Kante has officially joined Fenerbahce. I read that Fenerbahce was initially disappointed because Al Ittihad failed to complete the transfer documents at the beginning. But in the end, Kante officially wore the Fenerbahce jersey. Kante is an experienced midfielder, currently 34 years old. Kante joined Al-Ittihad from Chelsea in 2023. He has extensive experience and achievements, having won the Champions League, Premier League, Europa League, and FA Cup with Chelsea. His humble attitude will likely help him easily adapt to the new club.

It’s good to see Ngolo Kante back in Europe, I personally think that this man still have more to give to European football despite his age he continues to play exceptionally well in the Saudi pro league, this is a player who have won almost everything to be won in football and in the premier league in particular. And now is a World Cup year, I believe this move back to European football will further increase his chances of being selected in Frances Didier Deschamps squad for the World Cup 2026.

We cannot totally do away with the risk associated with bitcoin investment, just like every other investment one embarks on, especially the one involving money. Bitcoin due to its volatile nature has every reason to be a very risky investment as nothing is really guaranteed in bitcoin investment. When it comes to the price fluctuations In bitcoin you can’t really predict it and you don’t know what the future will be on the long run. But the risk involved can only be managed or mitigated through the DCA buying pattern where you invest with a certain amount either weekly or monthly especially after you might have settled your basic expenses in such a way that even if the investment is not doing well at the moment you won’t fell the impact of the risk of going all out with the money you can’t afford to lose or the one you’ll be needing any time soon.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I think Donald Trump is a weapon forged politically against Altcoin Pumps! on: February 06, 2026, 04:58:52 PM
If you say so I will not disagree with you because I personally think he is against the crypto world entirely not just altcoins, I mean against crypto not in terms that he declared threat against it but his actions have affected the whole market lately that it has underperformed and the performance is quite delayed or too early hence making the market very much unpredictable, unlike before we make guesses and they are correct today we can’t is like the manipulation of the market is now overwhelming. Furthermore the altseason seem to be obstructed and maybe not coming again.
Donald Trump isn't against the crypto world entirely. He just understands the market sentiment, and since his tweets or posts have a way of making the crypto market crash and forcing paper hands to sell their cryptos out of panic or fear, I believe Donald Trump is just manipulating the crypto market so that he can buy crypto at a low price and sell at a high price.
Trump knows no shit about bitcoin not crypto entirely, you can find proves during his campaign where he never understood what they were doing until the first purchase of bitcoin was declared, he couldn’t operate anything for himself, however his sons are crypto guys who deal on pump and dump of the market laundering billions daily, hence trump helps their career flourish by manipulating the market with tariffs and high are not supposed to even affect crypto but because the USA has certain number of market control so they panic hence affecting bitcoin and crypto entirely, while trumps children had insider information they use it against the market and the retail traders hence making the market crash bigger when they sell or buy.
Even though you are correct that Trump knows nothing about bitcoin, Trump isn't the actual reason why some altcoins aren't pumping the way they ought to pump. I accept that Trump is using his power as the president of the United States of America to manipulate the crypto market to favor him and his associates, which has helped his children to make billions of dollars from the crypto market, but the reason why some altcoins aren't pumping is because liquidity isn't following into altcoins market very much.

One thing we need to understand is that most of all this altcoins depends solely on the performance of bitcoin for their own viability and value. The moment bitcoin performed badly as a result of some certain factors which affects it’s performance be it the president trump actions or any other factors which are unknown to us, altcoins will definitely find it difficult to perform effectively and it’s value depreciates more. But if bitcoin performs well then many altcoins will be able to do so too.

Waiting for more confirmation could be very much better than just rushing into the market to start accumulating, just imagine had in mean when the market drop to 80k and you rushed to accumulate thinking that would be their target before the market bounces back you could have endup losing more, although it is actually good to follow the market with DCA approach should the market never had its Chance to bounced back so quickly then you would keep DCA'ing to increase your portfolio. However, in a time like this chart does not help either because already it shows a potential bear run, of course considering to how much Bitcoin has gained last year of 127k and seeing that the price is around 63k shows that the market has lost more -50.3% of it's original price. There are tendency we could still see more dip as many people has been predicting we would end up landing at the price of 50-40k if time not mistakenly.
I think this is time to carefully watch the market, and of course if there are spare cash it's another cool opportunity to keep doubling our portfolio.

For sure, the recent decline has really gone on an extreme scale below 70k and I see no reason why investors shouldn’t take advantage of the situation and buy more at such a low price. This is not time to panic or waiting and watching any more longer but rather a good buying opportunity for both investors and traders. If you been buying then buy more and if you’ve been waiting for a time like this then it’s time to make use of that reserve funds to accumulate in such a dip.

Some of the money we lost to scammers are caused by us , like some of us who invest in ponzi schemes, we know the site is not genue for investment, but because of looking for quick money we will fall to their trap and your money will be gone. While engaging yourself in any cryptocurrency related investment, ensure you know the genuity of the platform you are using, many have lost their cryptocurrency investment because they invested in the wrong platform. There are many cryptocurrency platforms on the internet, be very careful because not all are genue.

Another thing that can make you loose your cryptocurrency investment is clicking of cryptocurrency ads, some of this ads are dangerous and clicking on them can make you loose your investment.

The ability to detect a scam project or platform is the major problem most people in Nigeria are facing when it comes to losing money in crypto. Most of the times people find it very difficult to detect a fake or scam project, some of this projects are designed in such a way that you can’t even tell it’s fake or scam because at some point in the process you will see most people cashing out from that very project or platform and you will be convinced to invest in it, sometimes they give you the benefit of doubts by actually making you win when you just get started, all these is done to fully captivate your trust with them and after a long run they play the fast one on you and you end up losing even more than you previously won. So the first step is to be able to identify a fake or scam project, and to be in the safer side it’s more advisable to stick with just Bitcoin investment and not just any crypto currency because there are so many cryptos out there that are fake and scam projects without a good value even on the long run.

Being a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, I don't agree with his recent actions. He is under a $280 million per year contract, and despite that he refused to play in Al Nassr's last match. Apparently he is on strike and the Al Nassr coach had to drop him for disciplinary reasons. From what I have heard, his primary complaint is against the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). As per Ronaldo, the PIF is behaving in a biased manner and favoring Al Hilal. Ronaldo claims that Al Nassr wasn't allowed to reinforce their squad during the January transfer window by the PIF. That may or may not be true. But what he will achieve by going on a strike against Al Nassr?
Yes, Ronaldo's actions are actually beyond the pale. After all,, he is an Al Nasr player and he must be held accountable for it. So,, don't stop playing like this, because it will clearly make it difficult for him to win trophies this season. But fortunately, Al Nasr was able to win the final match and secure three points. Because if he lost, I think it would clearly tarnish Ronaldo's reputation in the eyes of Al Nasr fans.

Furthermore, regarding the unfairness of the funds we're discussing, I personally don't know for sure, but if Al Nasr is truly not allowed to recruit players in this winter transfer window, I think that's indeed unfair. So this also clearly needs to be held accountable, but Ronaldo's actions are clearly inappropriate. Because by going on strike, it clearly won't change any decisions. So right now I think it would be better for Ronaldo to make the current players at Al Nasr great, because I believe that with the current Al Nasr squad they can become champions in the Saudi Arabian league.

Al Nassar have the squad to challenge for the Saudi pro league and even win it without Cristiano Ronaldo, players like Sadio Mane, Joan Felix, Kingsley Coman should step up their game especially in this current situation they are in, it’s a very huge challenge for them and of course Cristiano Ronaldo have been a very important player for them going forward as he have scored so many goals. I think if the other players can up their game and play their hearts out they will be able to still win their matches and Match Al Hilal toe to toe.
