Well, if you are an old coiner or you joined here at a much earlier time then you already know the mechanics of it. You know that there are two cycles and that is the bear and the bull, and you know that there is also halving that takes place every 4 years. Any of these can be use on your advantage so you invest or sell accordingly.

For those who are only happy during a bull market then maybe they are new here and it was their first time to witness a dumping market but they will soon get used to that. They will realize that how can they buy a coin at a better rate if there will be no bears? It is not necessary to have a 1 btc but as long as you own something then you are already in.

Even if there are no bull runs but if a coin is solid with good fundamentals then I think the possibility to rise is always there. Just take a look at matic, btc and the recent one which is eth. Each of them is spotted to show a significant increase despite that we are still in a bear market. 60 usd is just a small amount for solana.

It's not even half way to its last ath so it can be achieved easily before or during the early months of 2023. Solana is a top coin so joining other crypto is not a problem. Solana can always fit on there. If you are in for shorter terms then maybe solana isn't the perfect coin for you but you can try a more volatile coin such as bitcoin.

Kolpak is scrapped I read about this, so this is good for South Africa but still migration issue is hanging for them because now too many players are going to play in New Zealand with they still have quota in national team with they are going to be added more back players instead of having quality players from white community which is surely not good because right now if they have just 2 or 3 players from black community it's still good for them and their game rather than bringing more players those are not good enough on quality basis because in next few years they can go with quality without any quota.

I was reading on few blogs they have good domestic structure which his helping all communities with merit and blacks are also enjoying because they are improving quality in soccer and rugby, but sadly they are not interested in cricket which is surely not good but boards few members are doing their tricks with bringing players on quota which is surely the worst thing happening.

You can't do a financial management if you are not planning your investments wisely. It is important so that we will have an idea if how much money we already put in or pulled out. It can help us minimize the risks that we are going to get. Failed to commit is worse than those who tried and failed. How will they know if they will succeed or not if they won't try it?

Like I said earlier, we can be able to minimize risk but I didn't say that you can remove the risk. That is not possible. In trading, it is always possible to lose no matter how organized or experienced you are but that's fine tho as long as your winning ratio is still higher and it doesn't make sense to continue if you arent getting anything, other than donating money in the market.

If they aren't really interested then they better not play at all because it's like they are only wasting a money for nothing. Gambling is best to enjoy if you have a real passion for it. You can dedicate enough time/money and by this, you won't mind it hard whenever you are losing.

I think there are gamblers who are losing big which are above their limits already but it's surprising that they are still calm. That's the only best thing that they can do anyway because beating their selves up will lead to unwanted things.

If your goal is to get entertained then yes but if your goal is only to profit then I think this was still qualified? I already experience to win something big only in 1 to 2 rolls but it can be rare though. Most of the times I go for 15+ rolls to have a better chance to win.

We are only taught to be afraid with god but not in any other things. You won't grow as a person if you will have that kind of mindset. It is okay to make mistakes as a starter but it's always possible to improve.

We have another type of money before cryptos came in (paypal for instance) and people didn't reject it. I think that is because its government oriented but cryptos are completely opposed to that. People think it's an illegal type of currency, add in the fact that it's also being used on buying drugs, gambling and money laundering.

Those who visit crypto exchanges are the people that are involved in cryptocurrencies already.

Honestly? I was shocked to learn they still exist. They were so so so terrible that I believed they wouldn't really be living right now and would already be closed. I saw on this topic that they still exists, I checked them and see that they are still trying to do something. I have to say they are just too far gone from their top spot once upon a time and they do not even deserve to make a comeback.

So, I am going to just let them go away themselves. I agree with the Binance answer, I am keeping every dime I have on Binance and when I have to withdraw I just do that, nothing more to it. At the end of the day it is not going to be important to me at all.

The moment I learned that banks give loans more than they have money was the moment I took all my money out of banks. I either have debt in banks, or have money in crypto, I never have money in banks ever again. It just doesn't make sense that something like banks could leverage their money into loans and hope that they could get away with it as the default rates are low.

The moment default rates go up to a certain point, banks collapse and go bankrupt, or gets bailed out. That is not the type of risk we as people can take, or we will not be saved and when we declare bankruptcy then everything is taken from us. Hence, I believe this unfair law regarding banks being saved is terrible.

Unfortunately there are laws regarding what happens with that kind of money. Many assets of the Russian oligarchs have been seized and they are all sent to certain government places to be kept there, like a hostage. This means if Russia stops war and gives the lands back, then European countries will pay the oligarchs their assets and money back, or at least money because some of the assets are gone already.

Same goes with this, you could seize the cryptos of Russians and then name by name give it to government how much and owned by whom. In that regard if the war is over, it could be sent back or credited back. That's the important key factor to make sure Russia has incentive to stop.

There could be 20% chances for having lower lows again this year and as per remaining 80% of chances, we may have $20k as a stronger support forever which means we may never get chances to breach into below $19500 levels forever. Unfortunately December or January month is known for low price of 4-year cycle to happen. But, in this cycle, we did not have ATH on December hence low also may not happen on usual month as per my guesswork.

I remember there rumours about getting into $15k to $12k levels hence some people might have been waiting for such prices to enter. I agree with you that we may not get chances to break the low price here after. We just need to go for DCA to avoid later regrets.

The problem is that I believe we could have some sort of trouble with bitcoin itself, not that it will happen but that is a possibility. Which is why I believe that we could see something changing in there. If a technical problem arises, and someone figures out a way to hack into cold wallets, then it is all zero right? I am not saying this will happen, but I have to say that it is not 0% chance for that to happen neither, there is a possibility.

This is why people always say that "never say never" because it looks like there is a possibility that it could happen. This will result with the fact that people will end up with a "refrained" look towards bitcoin at all times.

But, for this type of statement, why you have this subject line which sounds like forecast for last 4 months of this year? Definitely a misleading one. Your forecast is purely imagination based hence you should invite people to your topic by giving right inputs from subject itself. Moreover, even I agree with you about coming back of Satoshi and giving away his 1.1 million bitcoins, I do not think Satoshi will do that without having a plan for us to hold them. I mean first they will try to encourage us to continue holding bitcoins.

If Satoshi appears back, they will not try to mess up things but will help us to grow stronger hence there would be nearly zero possibilities for "new" bitcoin foundation. Regardless of Satoshi's return, I am sure those who ignore to hold or buy new bitcoin will regret as prices of bitcoin will shoot up at least 10x in near future.

What about the two winners on this thread? Their wins are higher than what elmer win and the winning dates are also earlier but no matter how big the money that you win if you won't spend it wisely, it will always get depleted easily.

Elmer's last win was on the year 1989 and it's said that he didn't got contented so I assume that he use the money to gamble for 16 years because his next big win was on the year 2005. You can't carry so much money in your pocket in just a day but you can gamble with a some amounts every single day straight for the next 16 years. Can you imagine how big was that if you sum it all?

Here as things are going with this we can blame ICC and B-4 for this all instead of Olympics Association for cricket is not part of this mega event for long time because they never do their homework and bring suitable policies which is surely all have to done by ICC instead of Olympics Association because they are wide open for this, and they already announce they have nothing from ICC for this which was a slap on them for saying there are some problems by other party.

Olympics Association has their policies and all other sports associations have to follow them, but ICC is not doing anything for this which is the biggest problem that cricket is not part of this event but now as we are reading and feeling things could be positive in next few years, and we will be able to have cricket in this mega event which could be amazing for the fans and the game future.

I agree, that progress is getting to a great level. I just got my door fixed, a small thing, my rooms door was broken a bit and someone who repairs doors came in, was like 20 bucks or something nothing big deal and he spent about an hour and left. I can say that as soon as he heard that I work in crypto, he started to talk about it and we talked an hour about it and he learned so much about crypto.

This is why I really think that we should be happy about people who fix doors are getting there. I am not saying people who fix doors or work in door business can't be interested in crypto, but let's be honest and realize that only computer related job people like me got interested at first, now EVERYONE is equally in it, and not just computer people.

Unfortunately people do not understand the value of bitcoin at around 20k and lower. They consider it as a bad thing that bitcoin went low but they do not realize that we are talking about something that is amazing for all of us right now.

I mean when will be another time that we will reach 20k or lower? With some time we will never come back to these prices ever again and people are not realizing the potential profit that they are missing right now. I would highly suggest that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that we end up with a good profit if we can buy now, and anyone who doesn't see it will %100 surely regret it in the long term.

What you are missing is that they do not have "control" they have influence. There is a huge difference between those two. When they want to switch to this protocol, they had to provide something to people like a voting and people did moved their money there enough, billions moved there, and that is how they were manage to get the greenlight to do it.

You assume that they just wanted to do it and did it all without any pushback, and there was absolutely nobody that created a counter argument to why we should stay with PoW and built a chain or at least kept the current one and attracted people there. Whereas when PoS was announced, everyone went mad. Hence, it is not a shock that they could do it without any pushback.

The price going down is not causing FUD, the FUD is causing the price to go down. Why did we reached 24k+ prices and then dropped under 20k? Because, people heard that mt.gox will sell billions of dollars worth of bitcoin, and that caused a lot of people to get out with fear, and that fear caused the price to collapse.

This means that it was FUD that caused the price to fall and that is why I do not think that we should be really wondering why the price of bitcoin is low right now. It's mainly people who are scared and it will stay that way for a long time for sure. I believe that if we could stand and not fear, then we won't go down from things that happen, we only go down because of our reaction to things like this, and not the stuff itself.

It's obvious that corruption is everywhere in the world, maybe more than others in other nations, but think about USA and how the corruption works. We all know they have politicians that "legally" gets bribes, it is called donations and companies pay millions of dollars to senators every year just as "donations" but in reality those are bribes, that name change doesn't mean anything.

Then we have black people jailed way more than any other race, then we have "secret" government police keep on attacking those black people as well, and we have rich friends of senators getting tax breaks and I can name a million other things. All in the USA, let alone smaller nations, which has a lot more corruption.

I have to say even though I felt the hurt of inflation, I did not felt it as much as the very low income people of my nation. Why? Because I make my income with dollars, so my salary is in dollars, whereas they have a salary in our fiat, and they were already making less than me, and with our inflation being like a million times worse than USA, the rate between our fiat vs dollar went up too.

Hence, I make more than most people in my nation, it is a decent wage, like a very good job, not business or company level, just like someone with a good salary so it is not insane. But people who make the minimum wage? Those people are living in poverty right now, barely find food to eat, it is really terrible, there are more and more people dying of starvation right now and in 2022 starvation shouldn't be a problem if you ask me.
