I have a friend who invests in cryptocurrency like me, he is an investor hold Luna and he has also lost quite a bit because of Luna. But what's more sad is his 2 best friends. Those two are also hold a lot of Luna's and Luna's crash causes them to lose all their possessions and become insane. As he said, one person has gone through the crisis and one has not. Those two guys who invested in Luna were all from my friend's advice. He said it was he who indirectly harmed them, money can be earned, but his friend are gone.

This is a sad story that I have heard. Through this story I want everyone to know 1 golden rule in investing is: never give financial advice to anyone. By the time you give them financial advice, you may feel like you're one step ahead of them, but if that advice is wrong, you could be the one hurting them.

Aside from investing and holding bitcoin, the best asset that one can have is real estate. This is proven and most the billionaires and wealthy people are into it. You get an appreciating asset and you can rent it out which is a great and effortless business. Although it's requiring a huge capital, that's how it goes and if you want to have a passive income, that's the best choice that I can always recommend to the others aside from investing into crypto or doing some staking with alts that are too volatile. And if it's about money management, it's not about how much you earn but how much you save and invest.

It means that you are not ready for this crypto business.
Ready here means that you are ready with the risks, not only the gains. And I think also that actually, life is like this, isn't it? Nothing will run very well always, sometimes, there is something that doesn't match with our expectations.

Hello all,

I have been following Bitcoin prices for some time, and now I'm doubtful if it is a good time to start accepting it as it has changed so much in the past months. Those who accept Bitcoin - is it worth it? And do you accept Bitcoin straight to your wallet, or do you use third-party services?

Thanks in advance!

Lets assume Guggenheim's Minerd speculation on bitcoin having an ultimate bottom of $8k if it hits $30k referencing the "[U.S. Federal Reserve] being restrictive.”, Currently bitcoin price is below $28k and from the look of things this speculation might and might not be accurate but what if bitcoin price falls to this very dip.

I am asking what will you sell to buy more bitcoin if this speculation ever happens or will you choose to  sell off all your bitcoin due to FUD.

If giving discounts and some free gifts, there's still a way to cope with it through bringing your profits first. Your mark-up has to be a little down if you'll budget the discounts.

That's all you need to do, a re-calculation on how much will come to you and how much you'll give to those crypto payments from your customers as an incentive.

Warning Only invest what you can afford to lose at whatever time.
At whatever point as a newbie in cryptocurrency one needs to eliminate the tendency for fear and greed, these two bad personalities can affect your total well being in the cryptocurrencies market, if you noticed a lot of investors who jump on a coin just for the sake of making a quick buck are the ones who mostly cry when the price goes against their prediction. This situation has placed most newbies in an unrecoverable condition so I feel it important we all get some things straight before putting our eggs in any basket if not the basket will wider the chances of making any profits from putting our egg in them. Don't get greedy always move within your limit, and grow along the line. Don't be quick to make a decision just because a coin did 10x.

So I needed some funds to make up for a payment. I contacted three of my clients who were supposed to pay for some writing jobs but the payments were delayed. I was getting frantic when I remembered that one of my old Blockchain wallets. I started wondering if the wallet I hadn't used for years could have some valuable bitcoins. I also remembered that I had the seed words in my phone as a screenshot (crazy!) so I imported the wallet. Boy, you wouldn't believe how much I had in there. Not up to all the money I needed but enough to make a difference.

I wonder who else has access to old wallets

Interesting observation here.  So you're saying there are no known ( to you ) sportsbooks sites that have same game parlays, like for example you're saying you can't place a parlay on say an NFL football game, where you parlay the over/under, spread, player x to pass for more than 100 yards, and player b will rush for over 100 yards?  If this is what you mean by your post, I am surprised to hear this. Maybe because if a game goes one way, like a really high scoring game, then all those things can be easily connected in which makes the parlay a lot easier to win versus a parlay with a multitude of games?

Well it's looking like the Golden State Warriors versus the Boston Celtics will be out NBA Championship game.  I had thought that it would be Golden State once the Brooklyn Nets lost in the first round (which I am still amazed by).  While I think the Celtics are a pretty damn good team, I don't think the Warriors will have much of a problem taking them out.  Steph and Klay are just too good.  Imagine being a Warriors fan and having two of the top 5 shooters of all time, as well as one of them is the undisputed best shooter of all time..must be nice (though I'm a Chicago Bulls fan and I can't say I haven't been unlucky with the players we've had throughout the years, pretty fun having the best player of all time).

The Heat - Celtics series is coming to an end soon. Celtics are in the lead by 3-2 for now. Their high effort in the last two games of the series was worth appreciating very much I think. But I expect Heat to win the third game actually. It is just like a sixth sense or something like that for me.    But when it comes to the probable winner of the series, I'll continue with Celtics. I like the way they compete more than Heat's. I will just expect them to defend Heat strongly in the seventh game and win 4-3 at the end.

Starting from a topic started by Ratimov: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador? so my inspiration to start this thread suddenly appeared where right now i really am would like to know what you think and expect if your country decides to adopt bitcoin as a legal tender.

We all know that El Salvador boldly announced to the world that they adopted bitcoin as a currency as well as legal tender. Many of us agree that this is an expected development, but in the end we can learn from the country ^{[El Salvador]} that to achieve successful adoption, the country and its government must also have a good approach and take the right steps. It is clear that this approach will have an impact on the success of the adoption, but so far El Salvador has failed with the adoption because their approach is not as perfect as expected based on the research.

Well, if El Salvador is considered to have failed with its bitcoin adoption so far ^{[perhaps they have never failed 100%]} then what do you expect if one day your country also decides to adopt bitcoin as a currency and legal tender especially regarding the approach and steps your government should take?

Bear times are really a hard time for all the coins including bitcoin but bitcoin and few established coin will later increase leaving the new projects down. For now as we see the market is in red and every coin is in red, it is a survival for the project soon when bull will come. Investment in projects that has utility purposes is better because they will always be needed and they have to increase again after falling.

I didn't expect that this fight would still happen. GGG will surely be a threat to Canelo. Canelo have lost in his previous fights so he really needs strong stamina to beat GGG by knockout or at least by unanimous decision. He must prepare well for this match because he will face a champion. Canelo is a good fighter but this match would really be challenging for him.

share our problem could make our feel comfort and relieved , all obstacles can be conveyed . we can learn important thing about how dangerous is gambling by spread our stories,  i am believe it could give positive influenced to people to recently start their bet. by giving an example it will easier to accept by  some else especially our family and closed friend.

For whatever reason, the market is bearish again. However, I'm not surprised with what happened, and not so surprised that bitcoin falls back to $28k again, it's the lowest I guess. It has slightly recovered back to $30k but it's struggling to stay, so I'll probably just prepare myself for another dump in the coming days.

IIRC, it was not only $6k, but bitcoin dump to $3k after it achieved a $20k ATH.
That happened after over a year from the date bitcoin reach its ATH.

So $20k to $3k, so it's possible to see at $10k price.

If you're asking where to invest it means you have some money lying around. In such case, just buy bitcoin. It's already down more than half from its ATH and fundamentals are as strong as ever.
Most obvious options are BTC, ETH, gold if you're expecting prolonged recession. A small apartment for rent is also a good option even though prices are high. If we continue to fall into depression people won't have money to buy houses, many will decide to rent and wait it out, which is why demand for small inexpensive places to live will remain high.

Newbies and those who have the brag attitude in them this is for you, don't ever and ever talk about crypto to people who know where you lives, that includes your neighbors because you will be marked, crypto is a like Fiat, if anyone wants to rob for Fiat bank is the way but crypto? You keep your keys safe at home, when criminals know this you are in for some trouble

This downtrend has been detrimental to my health (mental health). Exactly %70 just now. No lunch money type of money either.

Have we ever experienced this kind of downtrend before?? What's the latest on how long this might last, or if it's even going to recover.
