Being a business owner is more than what you think. As you establish your business, yes you are the boss but you are also the slave of your own business as you start.  It means that you should be the one to do all the effort because no one is going to do that for you.

But once it is already profitable, that is the time when you have an operational system and processes, you definitely will see how it is worth it as a boss to do all the efforts to grow your business.

That is right, during the early days. Many didn't thought that Bitcoin could be this big and far.

Those people have never thought of it so, they feel that it was just totally fine to lost them and remove their interest on it.

But years later, we have seen many of them regret their actions and even wanting to dig on the sanitary fill to find their old hard drives that contains sums of BTCs there.

About leverage, much better if you do not go for it because it is not for everybody.

It is nicer if you revert your attention and interest into leverage trading to being patient. I am speaking based on  my experience and being patient and holding worked better for me.

I have done leveraging but it is not the type that I can be productive of.

This thread is near to get a year old now and still, I'm sure that it's still relevant as there are a lot of folks think that they can trade easily and make money from it.

That's how they understand trading is and the problem starts with the influencers that are bragging their profits thinking that if they're able to do it, the others can do it as well.

You know the bias survivorship, they tend to think that others can easily do what they've done and making it easy on their perspective but not telling all the efforts they've done and losses that they've incurred over the period of time.

That's a lot of gains that you need to work on. I can't suggest you anything but rather be consistent in accumulation of Bitcoin and have extra source of income.

It is possible but you'll need to consider a lot of things, risks, involvement and activeness you will do.

This is like doing it actively and unlike passively investing, all you have to do is to monitor each of your move and investment that you'll choose.

Good luck then, that's what I can say if your goal is to hit that at the end of the year.

Starting up a business or a startup isn't easy as what we're just telling that someone should do it. Not everyone's wife will agree to that idea and not everyone is a risk taker.

That's the important feature of a person when he/she should start a startup. The capacity to accept and adopt risk and also the passion that they have into starting it as a business.

I agree with most OP said but it is that not everyone can do all of those but they can start to learn each of it one at a time.

IMHO, there is a better term about becoming immune to money. That means that you're just going to avoid money even if it's coming to you?

With all of the validation that we are being surrounded through social media, everyone's thoughts become valid and words of wisdom when they think they're successful in life.

So rephrasing it, if you want to become rich, you need to be immune with challenges and problems because you know how to deal with them and turn them into opportunities.

Welcome back and happy new year.

Good and quite tired with all of what has happened during the holidays. Left and right celebrations but I am happy with all of it. How about you, what took you so long to be active again.

Well, 1 month isn't really that long to be honest.

Reality is hard to accept.

And even when we're just losing, we don't want to take the gamble but who is gambling with our money? is it your friend, your relative or some random guy?

None of them but us.

It's just to accept the reality that within our hands, we've lost and became losers. But when we win and became profitable, who's going to take the credit? Definitely, ourselves.

That's also the amount that the articles that I've seen discussing about the entirety of lost Bitcoins forever. Like it's 4 million on 2022 and it had increased to 6 million on 2023.

And for this year, I guess that there will be more of it but I'm also interested to see actual data and charts about it. I've tried to searched but found none.

Having that capital with real estate, how much will be the monthly mortgage that you'll pay including the taxes? Can you sleep well everyday while thinking that obligation that you've taken?

At what aspect of your life are you right now? if you're starting with a family, I think that you'll have hard time with all of the expenses with that capital to start.

Add some more to make the monthly mortgage lower depending on the location and value of the property you'd buy.

I still remember that there's the telegrams, the letters and post offices for which is a good thing that I still see them around but not telegram, well, it's a name of a messaging app these days but an actual telegram is probably have been used by our grandpa's and great grandpas and mas.

It's because of technology that has made everything faster and we think that this pace is really making us lazy when things are easy to do with. I think that there's the effect of being able in front of these monitors and have a lot of screen times and affects our mentality or cognitive thinking.

While basic education and health care are free, I should be okay with all of those and grateful with what the government provides to us.

I am one of those that have enjoyed the basic and free education and with the other services even if I won't be the one to take all of those free ones or with subsidies but as long as I see people get to enjoy it, I'm already happ where my taxes are going.

While the rich have got more money, they're also having the more chance of winning because of how huge the bankroll they have.

Yeah, they're losing more because they're rich and they have a lot of money while on the side of the poor gamblers. When they lose, that's it and won't be followed quickly as they need to make some bucks again to gamble.

I guess that's the simplest thing about the comparison of the rich and the poor in gambling.

I don't know what's the meaning of my name as it is really a unique one and no one will definitely be able to guess here. And it is not my mom who named me.

But it was my grandmother.

It's interesting to know the reasons and histories behind people's names.

It's not about the loss on them but it's about the pride that they're able to process this amount of payment. As I've said, it's the milestone on their end for having this type of win from someone who has started with a $50. Lol~~~!

And that's what the OP is trying to show.

It can't be helped and stopped when many of them think that they'll win with trading. I don't encourage even my friends to trade when they don't even know how they'll make that much on it and how to read the market itself.

Even someone who's experienced will just simply tell to buy and hold and they're good to go with the upcoming bull run.

That's all they need to think of and if they wanna trade whether it's on the spot or futures, it's their money to play with.

Seriously, if I have that $50 I would have lose that probably in a few minutes of stay if unlucky. But wow, I guess that there will be media that's going to take your side Steve or anyone from sportsbet.io to have an interview and how this guy have made it.

It's literally a wheel of wish for the winner. Congrats to all staff of sportsbet, I know it's a huge amount for you guys but it's also a milestone for the company and to the winner as well.

We all will understand it as we get older and thanks to all of the past journeys and life lessons that I've been in.

While if there are still young guys out here reading threads like this, you'll get to see one day why we become passive and old. But that doesn't mean that our hearts get older too.

If you're good to celebrate it and able to do so, do it. It doesn't have to be birthday cakes or balloons or grand celebration. A simple rest day will do appreciating your life and we're like aging like fine wine.

And when they get into the real trading, it's fine to start with the minimum amount that the exchange requires them or even more than the minimum as long as they can take the possible loss of their actual starting capital.

Expect that it's not an easy thing for them when they start because everyone should start somewhere right? While for most of the starters, it's always like that.

Most results will be against to their will but after several trades and when you know how trading actually works, you'll create a strategy that you might want to test then.
