Yeah, I guess you rightly stated it there with what I found in your post history. You truly aren't good at creating "informational threads". You've been in this forum since 2017. Sadly, you've just one created topic to your credit. From my observation, merit is easily awarded to created topics more than regular comments. This may also be going against you.

I hope OP returns to read all these suggestions made to them here as I've seen their last seen online was about a month ago – October 8.

Yeah, that's true. I do this too. However, I go in with minimal risk during consolidation until there's a Breakout and then I double my risk the direction of the BO. I don't just hop in once there's a BO. I wait for a retracement. Price has a way of retracing to retest its point of BO, most times. There's a 8 out of 10 chances that it will return for a retest before journeying on.

However, besides all the mistakes you listed is the a major one you didn't list. That's lack of emotional control. Emotion is a trade killer. Any trader who can't control their emotion, whether in winning or losing, will have a hard time being profitable.

You actually can keep friends with divergent views and opinions. Well, maybe, I should've said I could. I've friends who have heard of Bitcoin but aren't keen on pursuing an investment in it. I don't have any ish with friends like that, provided they aren't talking down on my business. Everyone knows their boundaries and how to keep them and then we're good. Anything short of that, or any of them trying to convince me otherwise will definitely result in me keeping them at arms length. It's that simple.

This is really some crazy shit, frankly. It's becoming obvious this is going to be the major bane of Bitcoin, and not even the government we keep poking fingers at for its refusal to fall in line with the mass adoption thing. This congestion gets worse whenever there's price rally a few days in a roll. It frustrates every effort to have smooth transactions. People need seamless (or almost seamless transactions) to want to use a service. In this regard, Bitcoin isn't providing it.

I've been served this too and I don't know why it's so. You're buying on the same Binance but what you get is always lower than what's bought. I think this is common with Bitcoin purchases. I haven't noticed it in all my stablecoin deals. This is why I've resolved to stay away from buying Bitcoin there. I rather buy USDT and then swap it for Bitcoin. Yes, I know I will be charged a certain commission for swapping it but what is charged is negligible compared to the throat slit I get buying directly.

No one is blaming anyone on this, at least not me. It's their place to lose. We're only advising from a place of experience so that those who are less experienced can borrow from such valuable lessons and make amends. There's no point constantly losing funds to the market when one can stand on the shoulders of those who know these things and navigate far.

That's the best way to solve this. Just let go and wait for another opportunity. There are so many opportunities in the market.

Nothing has ever been certain in this industry. The industry is a place where anything is possible to happen but even at that we gauge by sentiment to read the market. The sentiment ATM is bullish as the market is already basking in the excitement of a fresh halving.

I'm more disposed to taking a long position on Bitcoin than a short.as it's now, no matter whatever price correction I perceive. I don't want to be trapped. Any correction now is likely more of a bear trap.

Yes, it's highly unlikely that they will gain access to your wallet but knowing you've Bitcoin (or any other cryptos worth their salt) could trigger a sinister motive against you and this is what many people tend to avoid by not announcing what they've. Why release a piece of information that will put you in danger in the first place, an information that will constantly make you look over your shoulders? It's like announcing to people you've certain appreciable amount of fiat in your bank account; people will overlook it if it doesn't show you've much but not the same way when you're worth millions in fiat. It's the same thing with hodling Bitcoin and announcing it. Everything shouldn't be for the public to digest.

I find that part highly disgusting and it tells
a great deal how the user in quote, Justbillywitt, treats their family. How someone would sell what was collectively owned and made that type of statement, is simply unbelievable. It's appalling to say the least, and really saddening.

Those who start up incredible stories like that should've realized that there are now many threads for merit giveaways if they spent some time on the forum to peruse it enough. They should take up such offers than labour in vain to amaze us with their lack of ingenuity.

So, that's the whole essence of your posting here and claim to having the holy grail? You think it's as simple as that to lure people to your private group/channel and then unburden whatever magic you alleged to have? Nah! I ain't sure anyone will be eager to try that experiment with you when you haven't proved anything to us as a whole. We know how this ends. We've seen too many of such to think this will be any different. For anyone to contemplate believing you, you've to give out signals. Let's document your win and loss rates first before anyone will want to take up your offer on a second thought.

While I understand OP's concern to have a separate board for health related discussions, perhaps that's their niche and they want to flow there, I don't think it's meaningful assuaging that request. It's for something like this that the Off-Topic board exists. The priority of this forum is Bitcoin and its sister discussions. Health is way off. It's a complete different terrain. Except the health discussion is related to Bitcoin and that will be appropriately captured in the Bitcoin Discussion board. I don't see any need for a different board to do that. Again, doing that will open a chapter for lamentations like Adbitco rightly opined with all manners of sob stories springing up and down here. Of course, we should expect that those stories (when they come up) won't all be genuine.

It's crazy how fee rates get jacked up once Bitcoin begins to surge in price. Yesterday, it was 52 sat/vbyte when I checked because I wanted to make a transfer. Now that I checked again, it's 48 sat/vbyte. I don't know what OP got as the bearest minimum for a transfer when they made theirs. Now, here's the thing for those who bemoan lack of mass adoption for Bitcoin. I think this fee thing is a major part of the problem for Bitcoin, not necessarily lack of government support or approval.

At old age, our bad habit gets worse while our good habits get better. I don't believe people pick a habit at old age. It's always a habit that's there but suppressed somehow. The widower didn't pick that gambling habit at old age. He merely found solace in it since the wife who probably was checkmating him had transited to the great beyond. The old man is possibly thinking that he's catching fun of whatever is left of his life now and thinking he's enjoying himself by that past indulgence.

Isn't this forum already doing that? I mean, creating awareness. A lot of us got here through advertised links on different sites. Whether those articles were paid for or not is what I don't know. There may not be specific groups that collect money to promote Bitcoin but I know that certain individuals do that in their own capacity and that's to get the word out there about Bitcoin; again, to also promote their own affiliate businesses linked to Bitcoin. Whichever way, it's a win-win.

I don't know why you blanked the project's name. Could it be that there's a genuine project by that name or it's just a random name? Anyway, not as if blanking the name prevents anything for those who are keen on finding out what project that was with their search tools.

This is the first time I heard of this and the wonder you said it did. Could you be gracious enough to share a link to this particular stuff if it has an app and how to use it, if it's a complex stuff.

As a rule of thumb, once anyone pushes you to be hasty in taking a financial decision know it's a scam about to go down. I tend to slow down more once anyone does this with me. I want to find out why they're in a hurry.

You're right. It's crystal clear now that those who were in expectation of Bitcoin hitting $25k won't have their dreams fulfilled. If anything, the halving wind won't make that possible. We're at the last quarters of the year now, nearing halving and Bitcoin is trading around $35k and I don't see anything that will push it down that far now. It's already on the uptrend as we've seen price push out. Who knows, we might likely hit $50k before year end.

It's called revenge trading. I've yet to see anyone who chases the market to recover their losses and does it successfully. One may be lucky with a few wins chasing the market but ultimately one will lose out at the end if one makes it a way of trading. It's better to let the loss go and then crosscheck to find out why one lost for future trades. Unfortunately, many of us don't learn this from others mistakes until it happens to us. Just like you, I've also been a victim of this. Also just like many others reading this now, they won't take precaution of this until they experience it firsthand.

They can, of course, even buy ⅒ of the least among your listed examples. Anyone can buy as low as $2 (or even $1, if fee allows) but the problem most newbies will have will be how and where to buy. Though it's much easier this day buying Bitcoin from either exchanges or P2P, it wasn't that way when I got on board in 2017. It wasn't easy buying because of the preponderance of scam.

There was something that happened then with my inability to buy Litecoin which was around $4 because I didn't know how to go about it. I was a greenhorn but my instinct told me its price would rise. I didn't know how to go about it and so I missed out buying. I hope our latest newbies don't run into such challenge now.

Wow!
How time flies.
Felicitations, BestChange.
Happy Double Century in Weeks celebration.
From me, this is wishing BestChange the best of progressive business connections...
In good health, I must add.

As succinct and valid as that advice is, not many will value it. Some of us were of that mindset in the past where we felt we could chase other coins in place of Bitcoin (owing to their cheap prices). But of course, we got the deserved repercussions later and learned our lessons from that. I hope the present inexperienced members here will pay ardent attention to this and do the needful by hodling and waiting patiently for the bull run against all odds.
