I do agree that bitcoin is harder to manipulate using money, because not that many people have billions to manipulate the market easily. However, we should also remember that alts could change the market as well, such as Luna crashing to zero thanks to someone spending less than half a billion dollars, still a lot of money, but the price of bitcoin went super low because of that, meaning something like 300 million could drop bitcoin price indirectly as well.

Or FTX bankrupting is a good example as well. All in all there is also media, such as Elon saying something that makes doge go up but btc goes up a bit those days too. So it is still manipulated, maybe indirectly via other coins, but that doesn't mean never.

I think starting even with zero could be done, if one wants to be that careful. Well, you can learn how to trade from studying indicators and reading charts and overall TA basically, but then instead of starting slow, they can open a demo account in a demo place and make moves on real market movements, prices are based on real prices in most of them, so you should be doing fine and to keep that going for a long time means that you will learn if you studied enough or not.

That doesn't mean you will be great at real trading just because you are great at demo, but it surely means you start with not losing anything at first. Then you can move with small real money ones and can see if you are any good or not as well.

I think slow one matters because of two things. Yes it is going down, but it is not going down too much, it has been just a small drop and when the amount is this insignificant, that doesn't really matter to people and that's the important thing.

But the second thing is that if we are talking about the current period, it had a lot of increases at the moment before this happened, so when you go from 16k to 32k that means that we are going to end up with a small bit of increase and that is why I think people are fine with that. I know that reaching from 16k to 32k means that you are going to have a bit of a fall and that's fine. I also believe that we are going to see it stay here and then up higher after all of this drop is down.

At this point when people say altcoin, they do not think about ETH, it is so much bigger and doing so well that people think about other stuff, coins that are lower than that. Even other top 10 coins considered as altcoin but not many of them really gets considered as highly as ETH which is why there are confusions sometimes.

But back to being in altcoin season, I think when we hit altcoin season, bitcoin will not stay silent neither, we are going to see that go up as well and it should be doing fine. I personally believe that everything will go up, not just eth or btc but ALL coins will go up. That is how it happened so far and I am confident that it will probably be the case for the future as well and shouldn't change anytime soon.

I do believe that we could make a portfolio out of such amount, we shouldn't pick just one. I mean 10k is a good amount to say that maybe 5k for bitcoin is enough, going for full on 10k with it may make it a bit rigid and that is not something we want in investment.

Most crypto move together and that is why we can't really say that it would be a decent thing to do, maybe it sounds like "what if I put it all on bitcoin, they all move together anyway?" type of deal, but at the end of the day we are talking about still a bit of difference and that is why it should be a lot better. I personally diversify it as much as I possibly can and it does bring out a great deal of profit for me when I do that for sure.

I would say that it is a combined effort and not just bitcoin. I know everyone thinks that bitcoin going up means alts going up as well, but sometimes alts do matter in the process as well.

Luna crashing made bitcoin fall too, or FTX crashing made bitcoin fall too (albeit there was btc in that case too) so I would say that if there is alts that go down, we saw bitcoin go down as well and I am sure the opposite is true. I am not saying alts make bitcoin move, I am just saying that it is an overall thing and I believe that it should be a bit worrisome to never look at alts when you are looking for seasons. If it is alt season that means bitcoin had something to do with it, but if btc went up, then alts had something to do with that too.

I would also keep reminding that the best way to learn more about bitcoin and the lingo would be checking binance academy. You should check that out too, not for yourself because if you have been here long enough then you know them all already, but you should check it for your future, to tell people. Knowing something and teaching it are different skills, I know how to write very well for example, I am very good at it in fact, but when it comes to teaching it to others? I would be fish out of water.

So if you check binance academy yourself as well, then you will know how to teach it to other people and if your friend reads it then they will learn a lot better from there than what you can tell them personally.

That is not a bad reflection on life though, I would agree with that. If you put finance and relations together, the relations would get damaged when finances are damaged. If you take money from your friends, even if they begged you to do it, then when you put it in bitcoin you will end up being upset that you lost money, even if they say nothing it will feel bad.

I did it for a family member, they wanted to put a small amount, an amount I could just give them even if all of it was gone, but when they lost it I felt terrible, they are back to profit again thankfully but it was a terrible feeling. So all in all, I understand your point of view, and that should not be an issue for you at all, it should be totally understood at this moment.

I do not think that it is that common to have that much gap anymore, when there is a gap arbitrage people and bots take care of that and get it closer, you may find it rarely here and there but most of the time that's covered. Even in dex projects when you have spread in the LP there are bots that take care of it as well and make some profit.

This is why I have to say that it is important to keep that in mind when you are making this difference, I would highly suggest that anyone who tries to make this should be able to realize how difficult it is. Even if you want to create a new bot for it, that would be start hard, because there are ones who have been doing this and fixing every little issue for many years now.

Emotions part is very true, it is not easy to keep your emotions in check that quickly, it may take some time to make a profit when the time comes because you are worried or fearing or happy or excited or whatever else. You may make mistakes if you think with your heart and not with your brain, a lot of people make that mistake and that causes them to have a trouble in the future.

It is going to take some time before we can master trading, but if we can master not using our emotions as our first step then the rest will come easier. Sure you need to learn TA, or need to learn how to read a chart, or many other million things, but if you can't control your emotions then all the other stuff means nothing at all.

I agree that it does have times when it goes against the tide, and sometimes that is the risk we take but that is not the common one so we should be fine overall. I personally trade based on what I can see on the charts and my TA calculations as well, but that doesn't mean that we should be able to make a big deal out of this, I hope that it does go well and I make a profit from it but that doesn't mean that it will happen quickly, it may take a while as well.

I think long term is the best because of this, because that doesn't have right or wrong, you either wait long enough to profit, or you can't wait long enough and you lose, but it is guaranteed that if you wait long enough, you will profit from that and that's a great feeling to know.

I agree that we are not going to go down under 28k anytime soon, that would require some substantial amount of money that needs to leave the market and not like we have anything that will be like that on the horizon right now. Could happen one way or another but that is not going to happen these days. I bet that we are going to end up seeing something that should be considering a bit towards the current mathematic which would be going up in the bull run.

Not a lot of people would see something like this, I mean think about it bitcoin is doing as well as hoped for; so why would it go down, even if we consider 28k could hold well, maybe we won't even need that and we will keep going for the rest of this year with small hiccups time to time.

Just because it went under 30k for a little bit doesn't mean that it was disappointing, those things needs to happen. There is no strong wall for support at 30k, there is one at 28k so that means as long as we are above 28k we should be doing fine and all other drops and increases are temporary. I haven't checked the latest resistance, but we are doing fine here, anywhere between 29k-31k range should be considered normal movements.

I can wake up to 29k tomorrow and 31k the next day and I would consider them both as the "same" situation we are in, those have no difference in the grand scheme of things. Obviously small intraday traders and leverage traders would have a field day with those, but for long term investors like me, they mean the same thing.

Volatility is the middle name of bitcoin. I have to say that I have seen so much increases and decreases at the moment that it is not a simple thing to handle, sometimes you can do it, sometimes you will fail to do it but it is true that we should be considered as a great thing.

I do believe that we should be considering the current situation as profitable and we should be buying as much as we can, volatility could happen but it doesn't mean that it will fall down overall, it will go up. So just consider the price going up and the volatility will not be a problem, sure it can go up 5 and down 3, but that is still 2 up, consider that as your profit, so the volatility could happen and drops could happen but the overall will be higher.

Right now, money or profit is no problem for the Gulf region countries because they are investing huge funds for the change of mindset about them after having good experience in soccer clubs around UEFA now they are investing for their own leagues and as Qatar organize soccer world cup things are completely change competition is on for few countries to organize events like this which is surely not easy just because of this now Saudi Arab are having intention to bring cricket in their limelight even this is not easy task but most chances we will have one of the best league from their side which will also give huge profit and salaries to players.

India is the biggest stakeholder with the biggest market, but we can expect good revenue and profit for them as well because they also have good fan base around subcontinent and as they change things in soccer we can expect good changes from them in cricket as well.

Recently we have good changes in sports with many countries are also developing these facilities for their women's because they understand this is also good way of making profit and many other advantages as well so after Big-3 now few more countries are bringing good improvement in quality and having leagues as well which will surely give experience and improvement in performance, even it's still not easy job with domestic restrictions and many other social difficulties.

But, as ICC is forcing for these things surely we will have better results and all countries will also encourage their domestic setup for having better sources and finances as well recently we have few teams from Thailand, Malaysia and Rwanda in women's world cup which is also big success for the game.

I think EU just doesn't want to participate in this situation, they are happy with what they have and do not want to be bothered all that much. When you look at all the "financial war" between nations, sure you can see Russia, China, USA and even can consider EU to be part of it but not so much, which means that euro will not be as strong because they do not want to be part of any war. Sure they participated in Ukraine one, but that is because it is a real war and not a financial one only.

I think BRICS could try their best, and they could end up not using dollar between each other, which would be a great benefit to them, but that doesn't change the fact that it would be hard for them to continue down that path as well, there will be some challenges.

I do think that it is right. There is no set thing like real seasons. For example winter is not as cold as it used to be and yet spring is getting colder, we didn't start calling April winter though, we still call that spring. Which means that it is set and it won't be changing, or it requires something much bigger to change it at least, like the whole world getting together, plus its summer in south hempishere as well.

All in all I would be guessing that seasons in crypto is nothing alike, if it is a bull period it is a bull period, doesn't matter when that happens, we all know thats it. Which is why I am assuming that the seasons part is true and it is something that should continue to be used and I think it changes based on who you ask anyway.

I think there is this understanding that if you make a lot of profit from the top names, you start to use your profits to invest into riskier stuff. So if you made x10 from your initial investment, then putting just a small amount, something like 100 bucks, into multiple stuff could get you a lot better returns as well.

Most of them will go to zero or just crash, but even if a few of them hit the mark and go super high, that would double your initial investment right away. However, since this is super risky, you do not start with that, you start investing into bitcoin and ethereum and so forth, stuff that are trustworthy so you will do better with them, but then after that is done you start to invest into other stuff with that profit.

I think we already have over 10 billion dollars in all of DEX total as well, so it is not really a weird situation to be in. Obviously we are not going to see that in trading volume just yet, but we are seeing it in LP which is all that matters to me, it means that it can cover so much very easily. We are going to see it grow, we are not going to see CEX going away, that will stay as well.

Remember that crypto market is a growing one, so we could see CEX and DEX grow together thanks to market growing as well, some people will move from CEX to DEX whereas CEX's will find new people to join instead of them. This is how the market will continue to grow, it will allow us to do a lot better and surely that is a bright future for all crypto investors.
