I feel nothing if I am totally honest. These bear markets do not phase me any more. Many years ago I was a scared little boy, like a rabbit in headlights when the price would dump. Now after witnessing these phases many times I do not panic.

The price always recovers, you just need to learn to be patient. It’s all you can do, wait it out & better times will come, they always do.

This forum is a bursting fountain of knowledge. You can learn so much here, the reason people spend so much time on the forum is that it’s such a deep package of info. There are so many really intelligent, useful guys here. This place is steeped in history, legendary pioneers of the bitcoin & crypto space reside(d) here. You can create your own part of crypto history by being here.

Solana has taken some real FUD but it just does not seem to want to die. I have high hopes for Solana in the next bull run. The network has been down a few times but it doesn’t seem to deter investors, people still love the community & want to be a part of it.

I see Solana being capable of hitting $300 or more during the next big bull phase. I will definitely be filling my bags in anticipation.

Scaloni is a real legend, he will go down in history as a King in Argentina. What he’s done makes him immortal, he was brought in to begin with & people didn’t expect great things. He has exceeded all expectations & won the Copa America & now World Cup. Statistically speaking he could be viewed as one of, if not, the best Argentina coach ever. I tip my hat to his excellence.

It doesn’t look good, does it. This is not only in cryptocurrency though, the entire financial system worldwide is on it’s knees. We are in a recession no matter if the FED is willing to admit it or not. Things will get better but they may get worse first.

This is where money is mare though. You can either cry about unrealised losses or be a winner & BTFD.

My house was built on ground that was used for farming. We get a lot of ants every summer, flying ants too, they are so annoying. Nothing seems to work, I have tried the powder you can buy which doesn’t have a great effect. I even boil the kettle & pour boiling water down the holes they surface from. Nothing ever seems to totally rid my land of them.

I’m obviously not a newbie but the reason I first came here was curiosity. I had heard about bitcoin & multiple times toyed with myself about investing but I kept putting it off. I bought some & then did lots more research to try & confirm to myself that I’d done a good thing.

I found the forum & have actually discovered it to be a real waterfall of knowledge. Some really smart people here you can soak up info & really learn things that aren’t always possible from just picking up a book.

If by next Shiba Inu we mean a coin or token that will match or be close to Shib’s journey & boom in price then it’s unlikely to be anything else called inu. It’s just too obvious, the next big craze that comes in the next bull run will be a shot out of the dark. We don’t know what it is yet because it’s probably in the early beta stage. You just have to do lots of research, take some risks & probably get very lucky to find the next Shiba Inu.

Looks like a fast route to losing everything to me. An opportunity not to be missed. In all seriousness yes, if it looks & smells like shit then it usually is a pile of stinking shit.

Staking is at best risky & at worst a scam. It’s just not worth the risk.

Welcome to the forum, it’s a great place to learn about bitcoin. People on here are mostly good guys, you need to stay smart though. As with everywhere there’s a small minority of people who ruin it for everybody else. There are a lot of really helpful people so feel free to fire any questions out & I’m sure somebody will try their best to assist you.

You’re not late, it’s never too late to learn about bitcoin. Enjoy your time here.

There doesn’t have to be a single trigger for depression to show its ugly head. It is really quite common in the modern day, people are now willing to seek professional help. It’s more accepted, people can admit weakness & not be laughed at.

The only real advice I have for anybody suffering is to talk to somebody. Don’t keep it all bottled up. Please don’t start taking prescription pills either, they are no good. There are better ways to deal with depression.

Dogecoin isn’t dead no. It’s just in a significant down turn, a regular bear market like basically every cryptocurrency token/coin in existence. These trends don’t last forever even if you might be sad & it feels that way. Just try to stay strong & think about & do other things. Doge will rise again & hit new highs, you may have to be patient though, due to the current world financial situation it could take another few years.

I think if you plan to hold bitcoin long term & you think the price will be much higher in the future then it is not a bad idea to borrow money so you can buy bitcoin. As long as you can afford the loan repayments then it’s not a problem I guess.

You’re not going to feel too good if you borrow money when it’s in a bull market & the bitcoin price crashes like it has done. Your repayments on the loan won’t be less

If you plan for long term holding though it’s not a problem.

I am quite secure online, I use a good VPN, I don’t visit shady websites. I don’t download movies, torrents & potentially rogue files. I basically just use the internet for browsing so I like to think I’m quite safe.
Nobody can be 100% certain that they’re surfing securely but there are certain things that can be done to give yourself the best chance & I like to think that I practise safe internet use.

You may have to wait until late 2025 to see the real peak of the next bull run. Historically that’s the way it’s always worked, in four year phases. You are doing well to keep accumulating though, it’s a great habit to get into & over the long term is a true recipe for success.

Look at cryptocurrency as a long term plan, a pension type situation, something to get you out of the mundane 9-5 stuff.

Patience, patience, patience, you will do well. Try not to keep checking your portfolio prices every day, it’s unhealthy. Stick to your plan & you’ll make bank before 2026.

I find Windows Defender to be more than sufficient for my needs. I just use regular websites, I do not download torrents, stream random movies or use P2P marketplaces.

Obviously do what suits yourself but Windows is fine for me.

It’s OK to spread your risk & diversify a bit. Low cap alts can make you rich.

It’s not a good idea if that’s your only crypto though. If you have no btc, eth & this is your investment strategy then it’s a dumb one. If you like to do this as a side investment with a chance to make money then sure, why not.

I’m doing the only thing that makes sense during a bear market. What I’m doing with my alt bags is what you should all be doing, adding to them. These are the times that you buy low to give you the opportunity to sell high in a few years.

After winter, comes Spring

My Dad is a good man, he worked hard to provide for us (his family). His parents were Irish immigrants who left Ireland in the 1950’s. My Dad came from nothing & did really well in business, he got into real estate & created a life that many people will never see.

He has provided a platform for me & my siblings to benefit from financially very well when he leaves this world. I did kinda well in the parenthood lottery. My Dad is a role model yes.
