I think retirement doesn't really mean that you'll stop working. It means that you'd retire from your corporate job but you'd still do things that you've used to do whether they make you earn money or not. It's just like releasing loads of works and you're free from stress and that's what makes someone retire for real. Look at the ultra rich people, they have all the means to retire and stop working and spend all their riches until they're dead but they don't just stop, they keep working on but with lesser loads and tasks. Maybe, that's what really retirement is.

Let us just give an example and say that I am one of those people that have been holding for the last 5 years with the same amount. The reason why I am not selling because I am waiting specifically for a bigger amount that I can cash out big by that time. While it is seen that Bitcoin's price is going to keep on moving positively, this makes me optimistic to hold longer than to withdraw everytime the bull run is out but I am not sure where I'll spend that money. I don't want to let that profit sit on me because of inflation and that's why fiat sucks and bitcoin rocks. As fiat gets more inflation, bitcoin is more with deflation. So that's it, more about the bigger value that we can take in the future.

Pabago bago kasi ang fees at sobrang bilis lang tumaast at bumaba. Kaya siguro noong nakita kong mababa siya, ay mababa talaga siya pero noong nakita mo naman na, tumaas siya. Dynamic ang fees natin sa Bitcoin kaya mabilis magbago. Kaya kung may mga transfers kayong gagawin, kapag nakita niyong mababa ay gawin niyo na dapat agad yung transactions niyo. Kasi malingat lang kayo saglit baka pumalo na ulit ng mataas, parang ngayon $11.49 na high priority tapos medium naman ay 161 sats/vB o $9.79. Kung economy o medium priority babayaran mo, mas maganda ipush mo agad sa viabtc accelerator para mas mataas ang chance maconfirm sa next block pero kung hindi, ang priority kasi ng miners ay yung mga naka high priority.

And those everybody that wants to have the business that they're dreaming of, many of them are not capable of managing it even if they'll be funded. Because the lesson is there when they first start it and it's expected to fail.

Let's say you're already on the point of operation and you're able to do much with it. The problem goes now with the costing, there are a lot of factors need to consider just like what you've mentioned and the ones you've said are just the beginning because there's more to them.

I admire those that started with a little capital and they rolled it throughout their operation and maintain it until they've seen the growth of it. Anyway, it's not always the capital that matters but how you know what you are doing when you started your own business and your long term vision including providing more workers job under you.

Congratulations on your very first purchase. You just have to be consistent in DCAing because when everybody is telling you to do so and you have obeyed, you're also the one that shall take that result that's beneficial for you.

That's sad but as long as you are able to use it when it was $300 and it has helped you by that time, I know that it sucks when the price is higher today compared to that time and it's way higher, there's nothing you can do now but to buy back and take the experience.

It is true and that's the reason why you need to use your spare money or amount that you can take whatever happens.

It's better to consolidate all of your replies into one post because a mod is likely to do that if you won't do. Actually, this isn't about working with people but working with the money that will be allowed for you to use. I don't see a sense of it if you can make winnable trades, why there's a need to cooperate with other people. I won't even put it on public that I am the best profitable trader in the town and will keep digging the holes and caves of the exchanges until I become rich quietly.

$1k or less than that isn't a small one, maybe from where you are it is but mostly it's not. If I'd do that to a stranger, I'd rather learn with that amount with my own trades but then, that's just me.

For sure you are able to save and don't need the money of others.

I thought that you're giving some advise and tips to the traders here and to the aspiring ones as well. But after reading these questions and answers that you've got. Are you a profitable trader? if yes, there's no need for you to ask people to trade for them. That's a bad offer that everyone should avoid because if someone who's lack knowledge that these things shouldn't be patronized, they're going to lose their money from these likely scams. $5k for cooperation as minimum? LOL. That's easy money for you, do yourself a favor, trade today and make that much.

Nakapagsend ka na ba? Maganda bigayan ng fees ngayon at below $6 na siya. Kung medium priority ang gagawin kasi sigurado naman na pasok sa requirement ni viabtc accelerator ang fees na ibabayad mo, gamitin mo lang accelerator nila kaso dapat mabilis ka din dahil sobrang daming nag-aabang na bumaba ang fees kaya accelerator na yan ginagamit nila at 100 lang ang free kada oras. Pansin ko lang ngayong araw ay sobrang ganda ng fees at medyo mababa pero hindi natin masabi dahil nga nagfa-fluctuate din siya. Kung hindi ka pa nakatransfer at 50 sats/vB lang ang kaya mong bayaran, dagdagan mo nalang ng konti para maging medium to high priority. Dahil kung patatagalin mo pa baka umabot nanaman yan ng $10-$19 per transaction na sobrang sakit sa bulsa.

That's not an argument as nothing can be compared to bitcointalk. I think those companies(mixers) that want to continue to run their campaigns will find other way but even if they launch it with those alternative forums, they'd find little to no success there.

Maybe or they'll keep their presence hidden from the clearnet and will have to stay on the dark shadows of the underground forum websites that can't be tracked(?).

IMHO, in every country with that definition that you've said about Bitcoin investors there are other things that people are going against with their government. There are still some strict reinforcements from them but no matter what they do, there will be violators everywhere. Is this an important matter? Well, for me that it is not since I'm in a country that's so chill with things like related to Bitcoin but I don't know what may happen in the future. But this is a big concern for those that are found in those countries that are strict with the implementation of their rules against Bitcoin but I know that they can survive and know their thing and what must be done.

Those that have been buying at the top, it could have happened to you, me and everyone on this forum and even on the outside of this forum. It's a typical thing that usually happens for the Bitcoin buyers and we can't do anything about it. What we have to do is to just appreciate the gains that we have and forget about that mistake while learning from it. We're not always going to buy at the peak of the price because it's not going to do you any good unless you're fine to wait for another cycle that could be long like 4 years or more which is the typical duration of the next cycle for the bull run.

Start by your practice and only looking into it. So, the practice is if you still have other assets in the forms of altcoins, sell them for Bitcoin and that's not just all about having the mindset but doing it actually so you'd stay.

Depends on how you're living and earning. Do you earn weekly? Then spend a portion of it, maybe 5% weekly will do already but you can increase that depending on your availability and willingness. There's always a way how to do DCA and only you can determine that since your info isn't complete so it's difficult to give you some plans.

Sobrang grabe nga yang fees na yan kahapon pero ngayon medyo bumaba baba nanaman ulit. Kaso itong sobrang baba na ito ay mataas pa rin kung iisipin. Dahil literal na mataas talaga siya. Sigurado may mga pumatos ng mga fees na yan noong kasagsagan ng libo yung per transaction. Parang ito ata pinakamataas na nakita ko at baka posible pa yan tumaas kapag nasa totoong phase na tayo ng bull run.

Update lang ulit:

Hays, kung kailan parang optimistic na ako na dadating yung oras na bababa yung fees, tumataas din kasabay ng price. Hindi ko alam kung masaya ba ako ng 50% pero malungkot din naman ng 50%.  

Sa ngayon ito ang fees natin:

Puwede naman at magandang initiative yan. Lalong lalo na sa mga nagpa-praktis mag English kahit na sa mga posts ay magandang ugaliing i-English nalang kung ang pinakapoint mo kung bakit mo ginagawa ay para mag-improve ka sa pag construct ng mga sentences at para mas madaling maintindihan. Madaming hindi magaling magsalita ng English pero pagdating sa pagsusulat, ang huhusay pala ang challenge lang kasi ay yung delivery ng nakokoconstruct sa isip ng tao into verbal. Saka nasa modernong panahon na tayo ngayon, pansin niyo ba mga kabayan pati mga bata ay English speaking natin? Salamat kina Cocomelon, Peppa Pig at iba pang mga characters na nasa YouTube. Kaya sa mga gusto mag English dito sa local natin, walang problema yan basta on topic lang lagi pero huwag kayo magtaka kung ang tulad ko ay magreply in Tagalog o di kaya Taglish.

Puwede pa rin naman yung ibang international exchanges basta huwag lang si Binance kasi mainit siya sa mata ng SEC. Ngayon na madaming mga restrictions na ginagawa ang SEC at NTC, hangga't hindi pa naman affected yung ibang exchanges tulad ng kucoin, okx, huobi, bybit at madami pang iba, pwede naman natin silang gamitin kaso wala ako masyadong experience sa mga yan at sa mga local exchange pa rin ako nagbebenta kasi mas madali at registered naman karamihan sa mga yan.

Nagamit ko na Gcrypto at powered siya ng PDAX kaya mukhang okay din naman kaso kulang lang dito yung web o browser interface nila kaya sana mag upgrade sila at lagyan din nila ng browser app para sa mga PC/laptop users. Tungkol naman kay Abra, may mga old news at headlines akong nakita na parang naflag din sila ng SEC years ago pero hindi ko alam kung anong specific na kaso ang meron sila. Maganda din sana itong Abra lalo na yung interest accounts nila kaso nga lang di natin hawak private keys natin sa kanila.

While they're able to get the sentiment of most Philippine users, they also need to settle it through having their license to operate. I thought that when CZ was coming back and forth here, he's able to do that but it seems that there's still a lot of things to be made. I am hoping that the new CEO will do something to do about this before the given deadline because they just need to get registered and be legal in operations here. Well, if they don't and they'll be gone out of our country through blocking access through their website, that's fine for me and not a problem but for sure other local users will find a way to access them through VPN.

Ayos, lahat ata kinoconsider nila para bumalik mga users nila. Di ba nitong mga nakaraang buwan at taon parang ang daming nawala sa kanila, pati yung mga old users na naging loyal sa kanila parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa sa pinaggagawa nilang additional kyc/verification tapos sa pagbaba ng mga limits ng users nila. Magandang pagkakataon yan sa kanila para naman mas dumami ang bumalik sa kanila, yan lang naman ang gusto ng mga users nila, mataas na limits tapos hindi na masyado matanong sa kyc once na nakapag comply ka na.

Ang nagustuhan ko sa kanila, convenient pa rin naman sila kahit iba na yung interface nila at wala yung mga majority services na meron sila like load sa cellphone at mga games. Registered din sila sa BSP at may license sila kaya kung sa exchange lang din na local, isa yan sa choice ko din pero hindi ako nagi-iwan ng malaking amount sa kanila.

Tama ka diyan, puwedeng puwede ipasara ang forum dahil nga nasa clear net naman tayo at may registration itong forum sa domain at puwedeng ipasubpoena ng sinoman sa US government/FBI o kung sinoman doon ang domain na yun para makuha ang details ng registration ng forum pati na rin IP address ng nakaregister. Sabi naman niya, wala daw mga request pero kung yun yung totoo mabuti naman pero kung iisipin natin, napakadaling umaccess sa forum kapag galing sa mga nasabing agencies katulad ng nangyari sa snbaad.

Mas maganda ng maging safe ang kapakanan ng forum. Hindi naman iligal ang mga mixers, kaso nga lang yung funds na minimix sa mga services na yan ay galing sa iligal kaya parang nagiging iligal na din dahil nagiging partaker sila.

Rewarding talaga siya kapag titignan mo ang rates nila pero wala din namang magagawa kahit maging hindi sang ayon sa desisyon niya. May point naman siya para lang sa safety ng forum at karamihan sa lahat sa atin dito.
