Considering we are already in a horrible bear market, anything that could be understood as a risky bad move or at least some reason to drop the price, people will scatter around and sell whatever they can sell.

I know that it is not going to be easy to justify some sale because they need fresh funds, because everyone needs funds right now, wait until the bull run starts, and both crypto and SOL could go up for a while before you can sell. If they need funds they need to just wait for it just like everyone else. If they end up unloading on the investors right now, when all looks bad then it will definitely cause a lot of trouble and the price may crash even harder than the market.

Paper money is already not that much in circulation to be honest. I always preferred cash over having any money in the banks, I dislike banks and using a digital one at that too, so I am trying to avoid banking world as much as I could but of course there many periods where I would have to use it, because any other way would be just too much overwork just to avoid it.

However, not many people think like that, and most of the money in the world is digital, not in the hands of the people which allows banks to continue. It is a century old known fact that if you tried to withdraw all of the money in the banks, then banks would collapse and not be able to pay, which shows how they are bankrupt to begin with.

I do not think that it will "replace" fiat, fiat is something that each nation needs for their own freedom, if they all start to use bitcoin then the bigger ones could take control over the smaller ones. Right now, even if it means a financial war, you can go against USA, which will hurt you like how it did to Cuba for example, but you can have freedom. In that case everyone would be using the same, and that is not going to be fine.

Alternative payment method to fiat is the way to go. The best thing that could happen would be like El Salvador, just get it legal tender in all the nations of the world, which means alternative to fiat, and that would be fine and would actually make crypto go insanely high too.

Unfortunately, it is still a profitable thing to do that and that’s the problem. I mean if it wasn't profitable then it would have stopped already but people are buying NFT's even to this day.

Just the other day I have seen an NFT with absolutely no utility at all, and only did marketing with airdrops, got like 500+ NFT's sold from 50 bucks each, that’s a ton of money to be made by the founders and they spent absolutely no money on it neither, so it’s definitely not a smart idea to invest into these to make the founders richer, and yet people still do. If we do not stop putting our money in the horrible things that we have in the NFT world, they will keep on doing it.

I think it is not really a bear market but accumulation phase, we should change the name of these periods. I always supported saying bear market when it goes down, but when it is already low and not going down anymore, we should rename that period to "accumulation phase" because right now it would be smart to keep on buying more and more and more bitcoins. That’s not a risky thing to do neither, it’s definitely something that would make sense in the long run.


However, since we call it "bear market" at all times, people are having harder time to keep on investing in it, and that’s not going to be that much of an easy thing to invest if we keep scaring people with bear, that’s why renaming would be better.

That’s the point, if it doesn't die then it survives and I am doing fine with long term holding it as well. It means, anything that doesn't die even after 10 years in the crypto world is something that is good I believe. Litecoin has been around for over 11 years, and that’s something shocking considering even bitcoin has been around for just 13 or so years.

It means that Litecoin surviving this long means that it is doing fine so far and there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't do fine in the future. I always believe that long term results of a coin matters more than what it has done in the last year alone, because it shows a good proof of the future.

I agree that you shouldn't spend your child’s money. I remember as a kid my family had a lot of troubled periods in our life, and it was understandable that they had to use what I saved aside, and I am not angry about it because they had to raise me somehow and there was a lot of money problems at the same time. But that did left me with the idea that "what’s the point of saving, it will all be gone one day when everything goes bad" and left a pessimistic idea in my mind.

So, I kept on spending it and not invest in anything. Even after I found out about bitcoin, I didn't save for many years, only years later I realized saving and investing into it would be a good idea.

Odds are okay because we all know nature of Pakistan team so in this big game, anything can happen, and New Zealand is surely currently one of the best team with their all round performance in this event even they lost final at home against Pakistan still they are capable of beating them here in Sydney as we all know after Pakistan, they have one of the best bowling attack in presence of Southee, Boult and Ferguson.

Batting is also doing good job from the start of this event and Philips and Conway both in good touch with Williamson is also having good time in this event and can play good role in this match for the first title of his career in this format as they already won first WTC in England now here they may do another good job for a remarkable result.

That is mainly because making a new token became very easy. Right now there are literally ready made codes for it, you download it, you change what you want to change like the name, the logo, the supply and such, and after you are done, that’s it. That’s why there are over 20k+ right now because it’s so easy, anyone with just a it of money can make their own token, in fact I can make my own token in 10 seconds, just rename it and publish.

Making them stick and actually means something is hard, because it would require a lot of hard work but just creating them is nothing. Most of the 750 you have seen in 2017 are still in the top 2017’ATH; I assume, all the new ones aside from a few ended up being outside of those prices because they just stuck.

Governments could somehow manage to put it under control if they really wanted to, but it would be a very hard pill to swallow and no government aims at making the lives of everyone better in the long run, the aim of any government is to get more votes and stay in power. That’s the problem humanity has faced for decades after decades, the governments we elect do not do what would be good for us, they do what is popular and keep them in power.

So, keeping it this way at a damaging but not crisis level gives them "some" advantage, if they did hard recession measures that would make it very hard, and then they would be ousted, and won't get re-elected, which is not what they want.

Do you really expect Americans to understand about economy? This is the same nation that pays more for insurance than they would pay as a tax, and still not get free healthcare.

Calculate it and you would be laughing out a lot, they are paying insurance +hospital bills that amount to maybe double the cost of what the tax would be, and they are calculating the tax from the current prices instead of lowering it because it would be just one buyer (the government) so it would be even cheaper, and they yet still do not go with healthcare because "I rather pay more for myself than let others get free healthcare!!!!", it’s America, they are not really that smart. Don't expect too much from them.

If he can be able to influence the price of cryptos in the past then why not now when he is now the owner of it? He can do more than just a tweet but he can make use of his favourite crypto as an official currency of Twitter to avail premium features. There will be a continuous demand for that coin which can make its value rise more stably. We can try on betting for that event but we should only use money that we can afford to lose.

A lot of us know that Elon's decision can change. It's possible for him to revoke the idea or change the coin with another one. We only need to watch out for this so that we can leave immediately before we suffer losses.

When they give you 100x return during the bull run, you are going to end up risking it for the next one as well. There are a lot of people who invested in silly stuff, stuff that they shouldn't have invested into and they made 10x or more profit from it by luck.

This means they will have enough money to risk, because their 1k turned into 10k or even maybe 50k who knows, and that means they can spare 10k and put it in 10 other coins as 1k each. That’s what happens during bull run, but the moment bear run starts the first place people will withdraw their money from will be the risky shitcoins they invested into, so they will drop even faster and sharper than other trustworthy coins too.

It will get there though, it will get there. One day we are going to have unreal engine 5 using, vast map, a lot of big details type of situation where every bit of the land is used and owned by people etc type of giant thing. It is not going to be this year, or the next, but "one day" it will happen. That’s what humanity is looking for, an imaginary land, a vast one at that, all of which is owned by the players, no house locked, no land out of bounds, every single bit available and owned.

So, people could have another life and metaverse (and maybe help of VR too) will make that happen eventually one day. When that day comes, it’s going to be a bit of a problem for humanity, because many will try to restart their life there instead.

You are 100% right, since the price is low right now that means we still have a lot of time that we could end up buying and that means people should be going in right now before it’s too late. I know that a lot of people are afraid of the current price but that doesn't mean that they should stay away from it as much as possible, they should be getting in even closer if they are afraid.

The reality is that the "scary" prices are the real place when you should buy because when people are scared that means it’s at low and good price, when they are happy that means it's already too late and many already bought it. That’s the very distinctive difference between low and high prices.

Why do you think that it would be possible for bitcoin to have an increase this month but not for the few months early in the next year? During the spring entry period (let’s say end of march) it could be over 30k and I think it could stay there. It’s a whole 3 month period and that would be quite good time to increase the price if you ask me.

I know it’s not an easy task, but it’s also not something I would be wary of neither. The best case right now is to get the price going already, like in this month if it reaches 25k then in 2023 it could be even 40k, but even if we fail now, then it could just be 30k+ in the start of the next year and I believe it is totally possible.

I do not agree with it, because real estate is something that is tied to a situation there and too risky. Literally just one shooting in front of your house could make it devalue like insanely. I would prefer crypto, a basket of sorts where you have some great ones, and then just leave it be and you could make a huge profit from it.

Other methods like gold, stocks, fiat, real estate all of them feel like it’s not even remotely close to what it could give you when you compare it to crypto and that’s a big part of the problem. I am not saying that everyone should do it, if you do not want to, then it’s your own personal choice but I will definitely only invest into crypto.

There is "some" scalability in the sense that we could maybe have more or less in ETH transaction depending on the period we are comparing. Right not, it might be seeming like a little bit better but in the long run it is not really that much better, it's close enough.

It was always about the fact that we would have something that will pass the all "late" transactions, and then start anew, and then we would be able to pay a little less, like a bulk order, and afterwards it would all go back to normal like how it was a year ago. Bitcoin is better thanks to segwit right now and I believe in near future devs will come out with an improved version of segwit which may solve scalability issue permanently.

Honestly that means they have been part of the blockchain revolution and that is fine enough for me. Having your own token as a sports club means that you could actually give part of the club to the fans, and in return they would have some say in the club. That’s a good thing, it allows people to be part of something bigger.

Like the rewards system, they could buy a good number of tokens, and then get tickets cheaper, or a jersey for cheaper, or could buy some tokens and meet a player etc etc. These are all great incentives, giving the team a good amount of money, and also making the fans a lot happier to spend their money knowing it goes directly where it should be.

That is something only the smart people will understand when they check it. Reality is that you have to understand the price will always recover and will always crash, it is a cycle and if you take advantage of the crash, then you will profit from the recovery.

Not many people can do it, and I know it could sound shocking to many people here, but I have seen MILLIONS of people who sell when the price goes down. That is counter productive I know, and it is something that will make you lose money and that is why you should not be selling when it's going down, it's wiser to buy when the price is low like right now but only people like us know what is right and what is a mistake.
