I'm afraid the rise will not continue, pending the actual bull run.

If we follow the trend that a bull run normally happens after the halving, which we have less than 2 months for, then most likely this price will either drop or will stay at this level. https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/btc-halving-2024-05-10-12-00

Bitcoin's all-time high is $64k, so we are very close to the current price. However, we are expecting a more significant increase during the bull run. A 100% increase from the current ATH is possible, and that will translate to a new ATH of $128k, which, in my opinion, is just the minimum to achieve once the bull run is activated.

Starting a fresh journey after the all star break ^{(no more break this time)}

I got these teams winning later.

1- Suns -4. A back to back game but it's a must win in Houston. Bradly Beal Still out, but let Book and Durant take care of the business.
2-Clippers -9 - they are not the Bucks, sure they can beat this undermanned team.
3-Wolves -4.5 - Bucks might continue to struggle and Wolves might still owned them.
4-Lakers -10 - Both teams are playing back to back, but Lakers are back at home, though Lebron is still "Q", I think the home team can handle the Spurs.

Everything is possible with bitcoin considering that its price nowadays does not drop significantly but stay on a $50k above resistance. Which I think a good thing for bitcoin community as there are bigger chances to reach  a new all time high before the said bitcoin halving. However, whether it reaches before or after halving, I don’t really put too much concerns on that. What I am more focused these days is to keep doing DCA as it’s the most effective way to gain massive profits when bull run finally comes.

Know your goals first why you enter the forum. If you are after with bitcoin investment and its security on how to safeguard your investment 24/7, then focus on that. There’s a lot of relevant topics that talk about that and will satisfy your hunger on that certain topics. However, being knowledgeable alone will never guarantee success in your goal. You have to put extra efforts and eventually develop your potentials in investing as well as positive attitudes so that success and profitability will be achieved in the end.

There’s a lot of interested topics in the forum. Just explore the forum so that you can maximize your learnings that  will eventually help you in realizing your forum goals.

I always think investing in bitcoin does not need to be publicized, even telling the banks that you are into bitcoin should not still be practiced. However, since you have done it already, then you have no choice but to be honest with them. I guess whether bitcoin is legal or illegal in your country, as long as it deals with a decentralized nature of investment, that will automatically draw attention from the bank’s staffs. Your account transactions will definitely be monitored by the bank, that’s why as much as possible, never reveal to them that you are a bitcoin investor.

Having no cash or visa might be impossible. The government will never allow that to happen, they will hope for bitcoin to vanish instead than fiat. Or if ever fiat might go into extinct, they will surely replace something to act as an official currency, because as long as bitcoin remains decentralized, they will never allow bitcoin to be the center of the financial industry.

However, regardless of all these, bitcoin price will continue to soar high as long as the demand remains. But reaching $1M, it might happen but the time is still uncertain.

That's the best thing for him to do to gain more popularity, but that means climbing up again in weight, which he failed against Bivol. If Beterbiev wins here via KO, that means he is too much for Bivol, and I don't know if it's wise for Canelo to challenge the boxer that defeated the boxer who defeated him.

Canelo has never been KO'd in his career as a boxer, and maybe that will be the time that he'll suffer his worst defeat at the hands of Beterbiev, who is a 100% KO artist. I'm not sure he is up for that challenge as his legacy is also at stake big time.

This is not new to us as no matter how we encouraged people not to sell early or sell late, but sell only when it reaches its new ATH, majority still prefer to follow opposite direction. Hence, a lot are not making decent profits when bull run comes because of lack of patience and full of greediness.

However, the problem with this is that these people fail to recognize whether the price hits the new ATH or not, that’s why instead of selling at the current price, they tend to wait longer and end up selling when the price has declined. Thus, DCA should be more focused and practiced most especially that bitcoin halving and bitcoin bull run and just around the corner.

You have a point there, mate. That's probably one of the things they consider in keeping their privacy. They may not make it public, but they are not hiding their real identity. If asked, they will not deny that they own or work in a casino. Besides, most gamblers now are doing it online, and for sure, they have a system that is running and cannot be manipulated by people within. These individuals threatening the lives of the owners can't do much, as casino owners are often wealthy, have security measures in place, and know that the law is on their side. So, it's just not very relevant to question why they don't make their names public; it's just the nature of how casinos operate.

In what way? and how would they do that? Employees have different functions, and them messing up the system to make crimes will put them in jail. The casino securities are now sophisticated, remember that we are in the computer era now, everything has a trace so it can be trace.

Lillard wins MVP, achieving two accomplishments this All-Star: winning the 3-point shooting contest and the MVP title.

However, I agree with @AHOYBRAUSE; this All-Star game is boring to watch. They don't play defense, and all they do is just shoot from the outside. What about the highlights? People want to see some dunks and a more competitive game. I thought the essence of this All-Star event is to see the best players facing each other, and it seems like we aren't experiencing that since they just love to shoot from the outside, probably to avoid injuries. But it doesn't make sense; it's not fun, and I'm one of the many who doesn't like it.

Just look at these stats:

West: 80-143 overall FG (71 3PA), 71/143 (50%) attempted from 3 point area
East: 83-146 overall FG (97 3PA), 97/146 (66%) attempted from 3 point area

So, the team with a high volume of 3-point shots won the game.

You are right then. Not your keys, not your coins. Bitcoin investors should not only focus on accumulating bitcoin but first and foremost, they should always ensure the security of their coins. If the guy in the story values much about privacy and not giving access to anyone relating to his bitcoins, then he should have hold them until now. But ignorance kills everything. Gone are the hard-earned bitcoins in just a single wrong decison.

This may serve a lesson not just for bitcoin investors but definitely for all those who are into different investments. If you can’t secure your investment 100%, then don’t bother investing in the first place.

Even if the most awaited bull run comes, I always think it’s always necessary to never stop hodling and continue doing DCA. There’s always next bull run that will come in the market, at least the earlier we can prepare for it, the bigger profits we will reap. However, hodling does not mean you’re not going to sell at some point. Bull run is the perfect time to sell, so take time to sell but never sell everything. Sell when everyone in the market is taking and enjoying their profits, but always leave even a small portion of btc in your portfolio so you can still expect future profits coming for you.

I'm not sure if there was a line movement as this article show a different odds.

Lillard was the heavy favorite and he indeed won the competition, it wasn't a dominant performance, just enough to get a back to back title. KAT could tied with Lillard, but he miss the last shot with 2 points score. I would say the bet almost won if it's on KAT but still fall short. Does anyone here able to predict the winner?

It's understandable why he lost against Donaire. It was probably due to the lack of experience in big fights, while Donaire has a lot of experience and is a dangerous fighter who can end his opponents via KO. In fact, Donaire was the only one who gave Inoue a tough battle in his career, so it's safe to say that Donaire and Inoue are on the same level, and if Donaire were still at his peak, perhaps even better.

So, in this scenario, Inoue beat Moloney, while Donaire defeated Gaballo. They are below them, but one of them has a chance to stay as a champion.

Normally champ are the favorite to win, and since Gaballo hasn't been so impressive, then we can't expect him to flip the betting odds.
Let's take what the bookies will offer and decide from there if we bet.

Even if you decide selling at the moment, that would mean big profits already. But invest more and hold more, there’s more to gain when bull run finally comes. Patience is the key. Bitcoin price may won’t get to its new all time high instantly, but that’s the beauty of hodling. Your faith will be tested along with your patience when the market price suddenly moves in an opposite direction, and moves back afterwards. So focus on what you think is right, your goal is to multiply massive profits, and it will only be possible when bull run finally enters the market.

Why would they tell their identity in the first place? How would it make their business more successful? If it doesn't help then they can just stick with the norms. There are a lot of businesses in the world that are successful and yet when they advertise, they carry the name of the business not the people behind it.


It has nothing to do with us passing the KYC requirement. It's mandatory and they are just bound to follow what the regulators instruct them to do, that's part of the KYC thing, you know. Yes they know us but they are required to take care of our information and keep it confidential.

Well, actually, you can make a research on a casino you are using if you have doubts.
Say, I will now search the owner of stake, I'll just simply search it in google. and this will appear.

With this news, will in impact the upcoming fight of these two champions? The testing was during the fight between Callum Smith and Beterbiev, so if he was tested with whatever they found, for sure it's not a violation because the fight concluded, or was it the result only shown after the fight? If so, what was the action of Callum's camp on that matter, and the league in overall?

Great chance for Reymart to become a champion again after falling to Donaire. I think he can beat Moloney as the latter is not so technical. Moloney was KO by Naoya Inoue, so he is not on the level of Inoue which I think Gaballo can also KO him. I'm interested on the betting odds of this fight, perhaps Gaballo will be the underdog, and I'm sure will bet on him to win by KO.

of course he will be.

One should struggle at first and find great rewards in the future. Even those rich people in the society, I believe they also have their means of struggles so that bitcoin investment will be possible, if it's not money, most likely the time they will spend to study and analyze bitcoin in the market.

I think in all types of investment, if you seek for future success, you should have to sacrifice at the moment so you can gain its benefit in the future. Not only for bitcoin but in different life's attempts, one might be struggling for the mean time and reap its rewards when the time is right.

They probably based it on the standard of the law, everyone might be unique but +18 people could be matured already to decide on their own. Although I can say that 18 years is still young to gamble as they can still easily get carried away and might not be able to control their emotion, but that's the law, a gambling site hs to follow, otherwise if there are lots of reports about addiction at that age level, they could increase the minimum requirement to +21.
