Elon musk promoting Dogecoin cannot make Bitcoin look bad ever  the only thing was Elon must tweeting negatively about Bitcoin, that was what was also contributing to the price dump of Bitcoin at the time but not that he promoted Dogecoin over Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a force on its own tweets from Elon must and people like him can only shift the market a bit but not affect Bitcoin negatively in the long term. 

All the right points you have mentioned. Maybe some of us still don't understand how the market works even from past market history. As long as you have patience and do not sell during a market dip, you are good. Your assets might lose valuation but if you are able to HODl and the market recovers anytime, you back In profits and some investors take too much risk by investing in shitcoins. People should do so research on projects before investing. I believe we can minimize our loss in the market if we do the right thing.

I agree with you and don't think that is fair. It is obvious that all these groups cannot get these trade signals right all the time and even after you join by paying there might still be some time when their trade signals will go wrong ether because of some TAS error or some fundamental news that can move the market, so as you mentioned, let it be that someone is not paying to loss their money.

I kinda want to go with that saying too in a way. As long as it was not put as cryptocurrency is a "NO RISK" investment, I can agree with the low-risk seasons being that, Investors can always minimize their risk on investment in cryptocurrencies. Most times people invest in outright shitcoins because they hope to make big gains even when they know that is really risky and they say it too that they are taking the risk. But I believe that we can minimize that RISk by just investing in good projects at the right time doing all due diligence and this is not to say it is NO RISK but minimizing your risk hence can be seen as low risk.   

Absolutely right. Apart from the huge funds with little reward at the end, I will only use the Binance Vault in most cases where I don't want to sell off the coins for any reason at that time since it also gives the option of moving the assets anytime you want to, unlike the fixed period stakes. I generally don't like to stake anything in any of the farms or even in exchanges because as we know, anything can happen at any time.

You are absolutely correct with all the points you mentioned, but I also think that it is all about money. Whether you "have lots of it and feel empty and another to have just enough and feel genuinely satisfied" is a different thing altogether. The main problem as you have said is, people will go the nine-yard to do anything for money. Family members, community friends are beginning to see others as failures if they don't have money. When you have everyone is your friend and once it's gone, even your closest will ditch you. The spark for everything is that money, whether you do good or evil with it or you are satisfied with what you have or not is also a different case in IMHO but, money will always be at the beginning of it all. 

I totally agree with you. the thing still for me which is limiting Bitcoin as the ultimate Currency is just that Daily user case limitation. We are not even close to that at the moment even in well-developed Nations let alone places where the knowledge is very minimal. But for every other thing, I believe that Bitcoin is great with, Store of Value and Fund transfers are best with Bitcoin. So as you said, I too don't believe that it can be wrapped up in one go but can be seen in the bits section where Bitcoin is better than Fiat.   

You are right. I still believe that most Investors take this out of context about not selling Bitcoin. It is not possible or I should say, it makes no sense for you not to sell Bitcoin. This is an investment whether we agree or not and the reason is for you to make profits and you have to take profits at some point otherwise there is no need to invest and keep them forever without selling. I believe the idea is for you not to sell all your Bitcoin because it has that potential to continue to appreciate over time,
so it is a very good investment for us to Hodl for future gains. 

Yeah, but even when that is like one of the watchwords in crypto, I don't believe that most of us just happen to have some funds lying around that we believe we can afford to lose in trade and that will be fine. I do get the idea behind it but people will complain any time they lose money which is normal and even when you think the market is going in the right direction, in this case, up, there could be news that makes it change the other way and people see big loses but this too is also confirmed if they do sell their assets instead of Hodling till market reverse.

I believe that he was basically trying to explain that the losses of some people are gains for others which is practically right. This is part of the market as we know, we can all not make profits and I believe some of us have mentioned this before. However, I do agree that losses even though are unavoidable in the market are mostly due to Fomo and lack of knowledge of the projects being invested in and the market situation by the investor. 

So have your wishes come true? did any of the coins fall to your desired buy price? These are some of the reasons some crypto wannabe investors will never make it in the cryptocurrency market because they are always being unrealistic with themselves. What made you think that all of those coins were going to fall to that level? I guess you weren't ready for the crypto market after all.

This doesn't make any sense to me and most that have already posted here have mentioned similarly. Just because people like Designer clothes and can afford to buy them does not mean that should be a religion to them and this can be related to any other thing. There are a lot of things people like to do and just because the expression is used, "Religiously engaged in them" does not really mean they take it as a religion.

So did that 77% of EL Salvadorian collected that part of the $140m worth of Bitcoin that was distributed initially? if so, why are they now protesting if that was not a planned thing hopefully by some opposition? I know that when you don't have other means to take care of your needs and the market is in a Bear trend, Bitcoin becomes a thing they may not like as a means of payment for whatever because it also becomes stressful for the business owners and also the workers. You get paid some amount in BTC as salary or for a service/goods and before you turn around the market is 2% down. People will mostly appreciate this in a Bull trend and I think cryptocurrencies should be more of a complementary form of payment to Fait other than a replacement. 

Really, how many countries now are accepting Bitcoin? when you say that, it might come off as there are many countries out there that accept Bitcoin as currency now. It is not a question of whether bitcoin is been accepted by some businesses in different countries but that is not the Government.
I believe that anytime you decided to invest in Bitcoin is a good time even though we understand that, investing when the price is low makes for better profits and hence advised. It all depends on how determined and focused you are on riding the market price waves because that is part of the investment too. 

I believe that should be the takeaway in all this paper money vs digital money thing. Even though digital money e.g (cryptocurrency) which I believe is in question here might sound great but in all sense, I don't see it overshadowing the paper money even if it is only because of the government's view to it. Great adoption will be there but as you mentioned, it will mostly be as a complementary currency to the existing paper money anywhere.   

Wow, really sad. I missed some chance too back in 2014 when a colleague introduced Bitcoin to me, I would have been able to buy a good amount then but wasn't really interested until 2017. This is a continuous situation for some people just read some posts on this forum and you will see people tell you that when Bitcoin fell back to $30k even below that it was still too expensive that they believe it will still go down and wakes up to see Bitcoin now in $40k+ again and might not be able to buy-in. The mistake he made then shouldn't be made now because Bitcoin is more widely known and popular and those that don't see that still are not meant to be in the cryptocurrency space because as someone has already mentioned, there is no way you shouldn't have some Bitcoin in your portfolio. 

This might sound like a good idea from a Bitcoin adoption perspective but I don't really think I would want Bitcoin as a means for salary payment reasons are,

I believe everyone working in which ever country pays tax and there will be no way the Government will now allow some certain organization to start paying in Bitcoin where the people will now invade tax payment, So I believe you still will pay tax on it as long as it is for your salary.

Fiat will normally just go into your account and you can withdraw and spend or even use your debit/credit cards in most if not all of the stores for daily needs but I know for a fact that most of us don't have this Bitcoin access readily in most of our countries, so what next?

You will have to still sell that bitcoin into fiat for your daily shopping which will take some time for the transaction to go through and plus transaction and withdrawal charges. I will still like my Bitcoin to remain as an Investment for now until such a time or place we can really spend it seamlessly without too many delays and charges.

Which should be the decision of a wise investor. Do not let emotions get in your way of making profits. People that understand know this, just because I don't like the man does not mean I shouldn't take advantage of the circumstance his tweet has created.
Some might probably not know that Elon musk made a tweet that is affecting the market negatively but as soon as they notice the market dipping, you get out of your position quick. It is good to follow some people that turned out to be influencers so you can catch up news fast that might affect the market.

I totally agree with you but to me IMHO, if the government gets involved in cryptocurrency, I don't believe it will be that good because as you mentioned, which country does not have their own currency? and do we really think that the Government will be involved in crypto and all regulations will not be put into controlling it? the reason cryptocurrencies are still and becoming even more popular now is because of the profit margin from investments and its decentralized nature. I seriously doubt if that will still be the case with the Governments being involved.

Sometimes we hear about this Life-Changing Wealth and if for any reason or luck I make that kind of money through cryptocurrency investments, thinking about it now, of cause I would quit my job. I think it is the best thing to do at that point since I can now establish my own and become an employer too and leave that spot for someone else to fill and definitely reinvesting some good amount of that back in crypto.
