As a human being, you are expected to have a target in life every given year. As time proceeds, it just seems our efforts are not going anywhere (stagnant at a place).
I have read, followed and listen to so many people's advice on how to invest in bitcoin, and diversify your investment strategy but my portfolio is not giving me as joy as I anticipated at the beginning of this year. I know many people in this forum anticipated the same to make much money from crypto at the beginning of this year. My plead for you are:
1. Remove all the deadlines you gave yourself to avoid depression.
2. If you didn't meet up your target before the end of this year, just pray and work hard.

In all you do, endeavour to set a standard goal, and if you fail to achieve all, readjust and bounce back.

Life is short and full of exploitation.
Live yours like there's no tomorrow.

Breathe in and out we all still have a long way to go.

Trading is at maximum a side hustle. It cannot be a job because of the speculative nature and the uncertainties associated with it. This applies to all types of trading.

So if a family member is willing to get into it, explain the same to them and tell them that it cannot be their main job. The main job should be one with a fixed income every month or so.

The technical analysis is pseudoscience and only correct at times. It is better used to predict rather than take decisions. Otherwise everyone doing TA would have been a millionaire already.

I also done something like that before but only few of them are really interested in crypto.
Some of them just like to listen or hang out some of them did invest and earn from it, and I am happy that somehow I manage to help them.

I have personally seen different predictions from financial experts, from those who predict the complete collapse of bitcoin or a fall below $10,000 to those who predict btc to grow to a million dollars by 2028.
There is no point in discussing these predictions because we are not talking about facts here but only guesses or assumptions that are very unlikely to come true.
What exactly will happen in the end with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I don't think anyone can say 100% and it's much better to think about your plans and strategies in the crypto market, and the exit strategy, because that's the only thing that depends on us.
Entering the crypto market without any plan and reading all these predictions and believing them is a path to disaster and not to success.

Its good to know that there's a rematch because this is the chance for Ancajas to regain the world title again. In their last fight, Ancajas is lacking of defense and power punches, it seems like he's not in good condition or should I say not prepared at that time. Well, I hope he will redeem himself because he is just starting to establish his name and not yet had a strong opponent aside from Martinez.

Of course TNT is coming back, this league is rigged as fuck. From -10 to +6 in some minutes, classic pba, happens every game.

The UK and Aussie fans are different . They love boxing. They will fight this second fight in Sydney and do another 50K crowd about like they did in Melbourne. Meanwhile, assuming kambosos didn't agree to the rematch, he would have been exiled back to Australia. And, I think those other big names like Ryan Garcia and Tank would never fight kambosos unless he had the belts.

An interesting article about how no other teams want to help the Brooklyn Nets get a deal done for Durant.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nba-rumors-rival-teams-are-blocking-a-kevin-durant-trade/ar-AA10nxcZ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=e987a0c3796540f3e04dcd0db624c9ee

I don't blame them I guess.  Owners seem to be pushing back against players trying to call the shots and other franchises have to love the way the KD/Kyrie experiment blew up in the Nets' face.  Still, I'd like to see Durant in Phoenix and Kyrie in Los Angeles if for nothing else than I think that is the most entertaining outcome of this offseason.  I do think Durant will get traded at some point, but it may take a Black Swan Event during the season.

I like the price to recover but to call this recent rise a bull run is to have no idea what you are talking about or to want to mislead people.

Many people are expecting Bitcoin to go down to 10k before they start investing, well not a bad idea but sometimes your expectations might not come true, just because bitcoin was 3700$ in match 2020 doesn't mean we might see 10k per Bitcoin, remember it was because of CoViD that's why BTC plummeted to 3700$, the best strategy is DCAing, 17500$ per BTC weeks ago was a good opportunity honestly, for the short time some said but might be the last for the long term too, instead of guessing and making predictions avoid sitting on your hands and do nothing.

I was in the impression that Magnolia will pull away but look what is happening now, it's the last 2 minutes and the lead is only 4 points, William again doing the damage and after tha bad 1st half start he already got 28 points what the heck this star really bring to TNT, he's unbelievable, he's doing everything if they win this game it's a snatch that being let go by the Mags, anything can happen so better to watch till the last buzzer.

TNT not giving up, they are still coming back despite the effort of the Magnolia.  4th quarter will be the deciding quarter, hopefully Magnolia will still take the lead going to the 4th quarter and they will not collapse as TNT has slowly gaining the momentum.

The point is that an altcoin having fundamental issues is not going to affect Bitcoin much, the sell off could have caused panic as it's somewhat Bitcoin related and can cause panic and fud. There are also other factors that goes into price movements besides what hits the news as headlines.

If Bitcoin drops that low, I would at least be happy that I sold some at $50,000 and overall made a very decent profit with Bitcoin. If I only hodled and never sold and the price dropped catastrophically low, I would be full of regret over missed opportunities like selling at $69,000. It's never a bad idea to take profit with a portion of your investment, even if you think that it will get much higher eventually.

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

As all are speculating the merge for ETH, are we gonna see ATH for ETH in the crypto market? Thoughts?

I'm a young professional, starting working a year ago, and so far I've been placing 20% of my monthly salary into crypto (only crypto).

I understand that it's risky, and would like to save in other ways too. But then whenever I start deciding ...

- savings account offers 0.65% APR, meaning I'd be saving liquidity but also Losing due to inflation.

- traditional markets have less fluctuation but are risky anyway, so may as well stick to BTC and ETH no?

- can't think of any other investment type that yields more than 10% py. Enough to cover inflation.

Any suggestions that could help change my mind?
 Or are all you deep into crypto only, like myself ?

Thanks!

I just wonder: are Early Adopters rich?
We know AA, author of "Mastering Bitcoin" was once attacked because he did not made any fortune having BTC from early years, then people donated some BTC and he collected around 100BTC.
Hal F's wife sued "I am Satoshi guy" and they were talking about $ 3-digit mln, so they are not kind of people who wait every month for their wage.
What about others? Bitcoin Core developers? Forum admins or well-known old users? Are they crazy rich living in their own castles or did they lost their coins, sold for $10 because of mortgage loan or student's debt and today they must work 7-15 every day?

If you look at it the way Elon Musk assessed the situation, who decided to sell BTC owned by Tesla for 29 thousand dollars, then it looks like a loss for his campaign. But if he decides to buy bitcoin for the same amount now, then his quantities will increase and exceed the initial purchase. So is it better to sell and then buy at a lower price or hold, in the hope that the price will recover?

Have you ever or come across friends/ family members feel regretting of not buying land property in an undeveloped area that later turned  a city after some years, houses/land property becomes very expensive.  Time without numbers of have always heard many people how they gave histories about some areas when it was coming up land was sold for a very little amount of money,  then they had opportunity to get land for a penny but not interested of it because it was bushy and not developed.  

After some years the place gets developed  by people who endured and quickly moved in no matter how it was bushy and undevelope. Most of the people I meet making complain like this never had opportunity again to afford a piece of small land again because of much responsibility of life.

It seems very painful because of the amount of money spent for renting a house annually.  Do you think buying your first landed property in a bushy area is a good investment for the future.
