If they are newbies, they should avoid trading when starting, they will lose money because they do not have experience and knowledge, investing will be more suitable for them. But if someone has knowledge about the market and wants to try trading, they can also start because it is also one of the methods of making profits in this market.

There are many people who have been making profits from trading, it is not as bad as many people have experienced. So, I find it quite funny that many people don't like trading just because they can't make a profit from it. What's worse is that they are giving advice to others to stay away from trading just because they are not making profits. They think everyone will be like them, LOL.
Actually, if beginners want to trade, that's okay, but they have to learn how to trade properly and correctly. Most beginners rely on information from their friends who often trade, even though that doesn't guarantee they can make a profit.
But if they can learn trading analysis, they can trade according to their abilities and also the more often they learn they can adapt to what is happening in the market.

Those who stay away from trading because they often experience losses should be able to realize that trading is not as easy as they think. They must have good market analysis skills so they can find the coins.
Or if they want to trade bitcoin, they need to be able to know when they can enter and exit the market.

But how to learn to trade properly and correctly? It seems easy to say, but during the learning process, beginners will definitely be greedy and lead to wrong decisions. A newbie can start learning trading with the guidance and tutoring of a good teacher, but if he learns everything on his own, it is not advisable. Personally, I still think it's better for newbies to start with holding.

In general, trading is not easy, even if you have the knowledge, there is no guarantee you will make a profit from it. But we should not advise others to stay away from it, let them try because each person will have their own talent.

I see trading as a waste of time and lack of rest of mind, all the time you are reading charts and looking at bitcoin price and at the end, you might still run at loss. Trading comes with little profit and it is very risky, because the probability of running at loss is higher than making profit. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme due to its volatile nature. One of the basic concept of bitcoin is that you should only invest the the amount of money that you can afford to lose, and that you should invest for a long period of time. This is because if you invest with the amount that you can afford to lose, you wouldn't panic and sell your coins when bitcoin price goes below your entry point, you will ignore that fear and leave your bitcoin in your wallet. The best way to make profit on bitcoin is to go on a long term bitcoin journey and use DCA method regularly to increase your bitcoin, because bitcoin price will keep pumping till infinity.


It also cannot be said that bitcoin trading is a waste of time and money. Just because we can't profit from trading doesn't mean others can't either. I couldn't do that either, but I remember even on our forum there were some people claiming that they could make money from trading and even consider it a source of income to support their families. That proves that not everyone will lose money when trading.

Trading or investing long-term depends on each person's preferences, you are a long-term holder but you should not say trading is bad. You and I can't make money trading, but maybe OP is better than us?


People who didn't get a result for trading bitcoin might think that bitcoin trading is really a waste of time since they forget the fact that trading it would take time especially if they do spot trades. But if they are into future they can possibly figure out that trading it would be profitable the same with other coins they trade. But unfortunately for those people saying negative about that want to see immediate result so they get dismayed since bitcoin is for long term just like what we experiencing at the moment where good pump happen.

Trading or investing like hodling for long term really depends on the person since as said not everyone could able to trade it right since some think about getting rich quickly without knowing the whole stats going on bitcoin. But if they could just save it and intend to hold for long term maybe case will be different and they find it a good option to trade.

If they are newbies, they should avoid trading when starting, they will lose money because they do not have experience and knowledge, investing will be more suitable for them. But if someone has knowledge about the market and wants to try trading, they can also start because it is also one of the methods of making profits in this market.

There are many people who have been making profits from trading, it is not as bad as many people have experienced.

No, I'm not preparing for the bull run, because we have plenty of time. I expect the bull run to happen several months after the 2024 halving.
The current price pump to 30K isn't anything special. I'm sure that many traders will start to sell BTC and the selling pressure will push the price down. You seem pretty hyped up. I'm always a bit skeptical about bull runs and I think that being a little bit cautious and taking everything with a grain of salt is the way to go. I'm also sure that there will be several price drops before the price pump, so many newbies and many traders will start panic selling(again).
My crypto wallet is OK(I hope that it will be OK for the rest of my life  Grin).

It is very difficult to predict anything in the future. According to history, what you say is not wrong, bitcoin will not increase in price anytime soon, we will not enter bull season soon and there will be further corrections. But what if things don't repeat themselves and we create new history? That can happen too. I remember a few weeks ago there were many predictions that bitcoin would drop to 23k-25k$ instead of increasing to 35k$ like now. But everyone knows the result, the market always goes against the majority, while people still believe that it will decline, it will most likely increase strongly.

After the victory against England, the Afghanistan team got a good win against Pakistan. Responsible batting by the batsmen helped Afghanistan win with every player in the top order playing very well. One of the reasons for Pakistan's defeat was their poor bowling and fielding. Pakistan's batsmen played well enough today. But Pakistan's bowling and fielding was very bad. Even if the fielding was good, we would have seen this match very competitive. However, Pakistan has no chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. They have lost 3 out of 5 matches. However, they are still fifth in the points table. Still, qualifying for the semi-finals doesn't seem possible to me with such a poor performance. But mathematically it is still possible.
Afghanistan have made a big win and once again registered its presence in the world cup. Bad day for Pakistan, though they scored good they weren't able to defend Afghanistan team with the bowling line-up. One among the expected team had disappointed. On mathematical calculation it is possible, but with this performance they cannot move forward. Really disappointing, because Pakistan is said as the team with the best bowling team before the start, but the performance isn't to the level expected.

Not only was Pakistan's bowling bad, their fielding was atrocious. When the team wants to qualify for the semi-finals, they should have fielded better, worked harder. We have seen Pakistan's poor fielding against Australia as well. If the fielders could have done well, maybe Afghanistan would not have won so easily. Moreover, if Naseem Shah was in the World Cup squad, their bowling attack would have been stronger. He is unable to play in the World Cup due to injury. This is a big loss for Pakistan. Apart from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali, I have not seen controlled bowling from any bowler.

Tottenham are a very strong team this season. Their performance is very good. The bond between team players is now very strong. This is why they have been able to maintain consistency. I think Tottenham won't have any problem to win this match. They have played very well in the last few matches. The players are also very confident. They share points with Arsenal. And they won against Liverpool. The team also won against luton town in the last match. I don't think the Fulham team is weak. However, the possibility of Tottenham losing points in the home match is very unlikely. Also, Tottenham's past record against Fulham is very good. It is hoped that Tottenham will not lose points in this match and will be able to regain the top spot in the table.
Did you watch this match, how were they able to win against Liverpool? Tottenham is playing well, but I think not enough to be at the top of the standings. Fulham may well take points from Tottenham, their latest results are also not bad. So far, I am very skeptical about Tottenham's success, in some matches they play well, in others they are lucky, in some they get help, but I expect that they will gradually lose points.

I watched Liverpool vs Tottenham match. I am satisfied with Tottenham's performance. Liverpool were not a weak side. Liverpool are also trying to grab the top spot in the table. And against Liverpool we saw the dominance of Tottenham. They were able to attack a lot. But they also missed several easy chances. However, the important thing is that Tottenham earned full points in this match. However, the performances of Tottenham's attacking players have been very good so far. And if the attacking players can maintain such consistency, I think Tottenham will be able to stay at the top of the table for a long time.

~Snip
Aston Villa are cutting people attention this season, they are really doing a very good job, in their last five matches they have scored 13 goals and conceded five goals by winning 3 matches, a draw and a lose but still I can not say anything about how the season will end because the have not play tough matches, the ones they were Liverpool, Newcastle united and Chelsea which they lose two and win one, they beat Chelsea but will the come back of Chelsea now I don't think they can still do it again because during that time Chelsea was not together they were still asleep so now nothing can't be say on till the end of the season. I am expecting them to land on European zone because of their performance this season, out of 9 matches they have won their home matches.
Yes, Aston Villa have a chance to do it but this season is still too long for all teams. Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United could be a problem for Aston Villa because I believe all the teams I mentioned also want and are fighting to win a place in the European zone. Aston Villa has a chance in another way, that is by winning the European Conference League title.
They're one of the two clubs that are still unbeaten in the league and tonight, they welcome Fulham in their match week 9 game. With the performances of Tottenham Hotspur so far this season, I don't think they're surely gonna get all three points from that game
But can they continue this trend today?
If Fulham can hold Tottenham to a draw in this match, then of course the results will benefit Arsenal and Manchester City. But Tottenham's chances of winning are very high, so it's hard to doubt them.
I think the motivating factor for Totthenham this night is the fact that Arsenal and Manchester City are levelled on thesame point,but juts seperated by goal difference,and they are one point behind these two clubs, therefore,they would want to top the league by all means,and will fight it very hard with Fulham to out with the three points in this one.I really don't see Fulham surviving this one,and if I am to give a prediction on this game,I will go for a 3:1 win to Totthenham who are in fire this season,and aren't showing any sign of relenting.
They have rested alot because of the international break,and will be hoping to come back with a good result.

Tottenham are a very strong team this season. Their performance is very good. The bond between team players is now very strong. This is why they have been able to maintain consistency.

Today Afghanistan doing impressive job specially after winning against England their moral is high, and they are feeling comfortable with today playing with four spinners was really brave decision which works for them even in last five overs both Shadab and Iftikhar done good job for Pakistan but still this is not enough as now Afghanistan openers are also having very aggressive approach against Pakistan useless attack which is having no depth and quality for taking early wickets in this event which is the biggest failure for them.
Pakistani spinners are also not effective as they need to be right now look like Afghanistan is going to have their first win against Pakistan in ODI and World cup Usama Mir and Haris Rauf both concede 53 runs in 7 overs which is clearly favoring Afghanistan.
Since the Afghanistan had won the team England,which are the legend in the field of the cricket.The Afghanistan going to rock this time World Cup,because they already won the England and now targeting the team Pakistan.Now Afghanistan need only 12 runs from 19 balls,So the win of the Afghanistan was almost confirmed one.So this win of the Afghanistan will make them to move to the top 6 position.Even they can book their slot into the Semi finals,if they continue their winning like this.It’s essential to keep their good game to all the upcoming games after today Pakistan game.Today game surely change the point table inverted to current table.

PSG's win against Strasbourg was much needed for PSG. I don't see anything against PSG not winning against Strasbourg. PSG is a much stronger team than Strasbourg. Strasbourg have been at the bottom of the points table every season and if PSG can't win against them, they will win against any other team. Luis Enrique used a strange strategy against Strasbourg. The former Barcelona manager arranged the players in 4-2-2-2 format. Such a field setup is seen in very few matches. One benefit of arranging the field in this way is that the defense is more secure and the midfield can provide good support to the defenders.

It's good news for PSG, who moved from fifth position to second position in the points table. PSG's point gap with Nice is now only 1, expect PSG to recover 1 point in their next match and move to the top of the points table.

As I said, it looks like Enrique is currently trying to find a formula for a pattern that suits his squad. he requires some experimentation, plus always tries to rotate some of his players. It seems that Enrique hasn't found the right standard to use as his mainstay pattern. or maybe, Enrique used a 4-2-2-2 pattern to outsmart the system used by his opposing team with a 4-5-1 defensive formation pattern. To get the most out of his team during the match, plus penetrate the opposing team's tight defense, in the end the PSG coach worked around this with a 4-2-2-2 pattern.
To be sure, we can't really know what he was really thinking. Besides, Strasbourg is not a strong opponent, especially since this match was held at the Parc de Princes. apart from that, PSG is not only superior tactically. but also in terms of ball possession, total shots and 4 big opportunities.

Anyway, I don't like it if a team at PSG's level uses a pattern like last night's match. but either way, they deserved to win it.
Now, PSG is in 2nd position, 1 point behind Nice.
Another match will determine the standings, if Monaco wins the match against Metz, the standings will be taken over again by Adolf Hutter's squad and PSG will automatically return to 3rd place.
Strasbourg was not a tough opponent for PSG, maybe that's why Luis Enrique organized the team like this. By arranging the team in this way, their defense has been strengthened while on the contrary they have been able to strengthen their midfield. As for PSG's problems in midfield and their defence, the 4-2-2-2 format undoubtedly gave them good support in defense and midfield as they did not want to take risks in this match. A different field setup would have given PSG a goal but PSG didn't take that risk against Strasbourg.
Against this team, PSG may have been successful with this field setup but against other teams, if they adopt the same field setup, they may not succeed because the other teams will undoubtedly be tougher opponents than Strasbourg.

I don't understand why people get so excited when PSG wins a match that they were supposed to. This was definitely a match that they were supposed to win. And this does not prove that PSG is working perfectly as a team. now, has PSG been able to improve? Of course. But does this mean they are going to perform consistently throughout the whole season and also perform well in the Champions League? Probably not. And honestly, I am not interested in watching them winning the league title again. I am interested in watching PSG winning the Champions League.

Sri Lanka finally ended up winning one match, but I feel it's too late for them at this point frankly speaking.
The way Netherlands batted and bowled today against Sri Lanka how much would you rate Netherlands at 10? I am happy with the way Netherlands performed today and I will give them 10 out of ten even though they lost against Sri Lanka.  
After Pakistan Sri Lanka this is the only match I have seen in the World Cup where the opposition has won with difficulty. Sri Lanka had to struggle a lot to win this match against Netherlands. Sri Lanka secured victory by five wickets with perhaps ten balls to spare. When West Indies were eliminated from the World Cup tournament, we wondered how a team like West Indies could not qualify for the World Cup and how the Netherlands qualified for the World Cup. Having seen their performance in this tournament, I have no doubts about their performance. Netherlands is definitely a good quality team.
SriLanka won the match today and this is the first match won by Sri Lanka in this ODI World Cup. The best player in this match is Sadeera Samarawickrama from Sri Lanka, he performs very well in today’s match. He is too near to a century but the scores were chased so he can’t be made their century, which was not good for him at least. Anyway, we need to be happy that we found, at least Sadeera Samarawickrama complete half century.
Let’s talk about the bowlers of the Netherlands so Bas de Leede has a good record in the previous matches but in this match, he just did 3 overs and he got too many scores and the captain of the Netherlands team didn’t give him any further overs.
Other than its match against Australia it played really well, but the Sri Lanka team weren't able to make those as win. Finally against Netherlands they've recorded their first win. Even in this match there is struggle. Netherlands is really good with good set of batsmen till the last player. The team had lost 6 wickets within 100 runs and they managed to score 262 runs is really big.
The bowling strategy tried by the Netherlands captain didn't worked. Bas de Leede had got an economy around 10 rpo. Maybe for that reason he couldn't have given the bowling. Just two more wickets could've changed the match scenario

I am not surprised by the performance of the Netherlands. Their top order is very weak. But their middle order and lower order are strong. We saw the performance of the Netherlands batsmen against South Africa. Perhaps they lost 5 batsmen for just 82 runs. However, the team was able to set a target of 246 runs in 43 overs. And then they were able to defeat a big team like South Africa due to the controlled performance of the bowlers. They managed to give a descent target in today's match as well. The bowlers have done well enough. But the Sri Lankan batsmen batted responsibly. I'd say the Netherlands did well enough in this match if they lost. But the batsmen had a chance to perform better.

I don't understand why everyone is blaming the batsmen, when Pakistan lost the match as a result of poor bowling. Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq did well IMO. They scored at a run-a-ball, and added 134 runs for the first wicket partnership. It was the middle order that couldn't keep the momentum going. Babar Azam failed yet again, while Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel couldn't convert their good starts to 50s. In the end, Pakistan had plenty of overs remaining, but ran out of batsmen. They were bowled out with 4.3 overs remaining in the innings.
I agree with your statement both batter and bowler are 50:50 responsible of this defeat, because first they leak tons of runs against thier top order especially Haris which are at another level while after that Hassan Ali and Nawaz they all of them allow thier opener to took a good start which will make things easy for them if they are ahead toward big Target, some miss field and catch dropping took match away form paksitan.
While if we have a look at thier batting then thier main batter baber Azam dismissed with adding a significant runs at such important stage and I things that the stage where paksitan start to choke and later after iftikhar and Rizwan they completely lose a grip and hence they lose an important match, anyway it's much worth for Australia than paksitan because they are at bottom of table before that victory

I would say Pakistan's bowlers are responsible for the loss in this match. The batsmen batted well enough. It is unimaginable to win with a target of 368 runs. Bengaluru's 368 was probably the second highest score on this ground. And the average score of the first innings on this ground is 235 runs. There, Australia set a target of 368 runs. This is a very big target. It is very difficult to win such a big target against any team. Had Pakistan won today, it would have been a record.
Pakistan's opening pair played well. Babar and Rizwan's partnership would have lasted Pakistan's victory. But Adam Zampa bowled brilliantly today. He has brought back several very important batsmen to the dressing room.

Superb comeback of Australia team in today match. Both batters David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are playing very admirable performance and both makes a tremendous dual batting partnership against Pakistan. Both batters of Australia David Warner and Mitchell Marsh achieve their brilliant century. At this time, Australia make 237 scores by playing 32 overs without lost any wicket at this moment. Now Pakistan is in bad situation not single bowler could take their wicket today. Pakistan chance in this match for winning has been reduced. Let's see how many scores target Australian team will give to Pakistan team at the end of their batting inning.
I had posted this multiple times. Australia always perform well during ICC tournaments. If they can get a big win today, then it will really boost their NRR. And trust me, the last 1-2 slots for semi-finals this time are going to get decided solely on the basis of run-rate. The next match should be relatively easy for Australia, as they are scheduled to play against Netherlands. But after that they need to win against New Zealand, as the latter is in exceptional form. BTW, Australia has lost their 5th wicket now. 400 may not be possible. 
Australia's 400 seems unlikely. If Warner was at the crease, the team could have collected more than 400. But the new batsmen are not doing well against Pakistan's bowlers. Australia collected only 2 runs in 45th over and 7 runs in 46th over. At least 10 runs per over should be collected at this moment.

It is still very difficult for Australia to secure a semi-final. Even if they win today's match. Pakistan, South Africa and England teams are trying their best to secure the semi-finals. Australia will have to play well in every match to ensure a semi-final. Because they have already dropped points in two matches.
The first innings had just finished and the Australian team played as well, they did 367 scores. David Warner did 163 scores, which is a very high score, and Mitchell Marsh also played very well, he also did a century, and half of the runs done by Mitchell Marsh and David Warner.

Mitchell Marsh could have been out early if Usama Mir hadn’t dropped their catch but Usama Mir got him out in spin and Shaheen Shah Afridi took the catch, in early Shaheen did bowling, and Marsh's catch went to Usama Mir but they couldn’t catch.
This is the first match of Usama Mir in this World Cup so he should have tried to play well.

Pakistan's fielding was not good. This team should focus more on their fielding. Had the fielding been better, they would have been able to save many more runs.

The target of 368 runs is very big. Even then it is possible to win if the batsmen play well. The pitch is helping the batsmen. However, Pakistan's top order must play well. I would say on the performance of the two openers Imam, Shafique and Babar, Rizwan, Pakistan win or lose this match. If these four batsmen play well, Pakistan may be able to win. But till now Pakistan's chances of victory are very low. Pakistan collected 48 runs without losing any wickets in 8 overs.

Regulating the economy and monetary policy is not something simple, in many cases the state sometimes needs to intervene so that money, goods and people's needs are balanced, if something is unbalanced it will have market consequences. So there are many things that need to be thought about and considered before a country dares to take a policy of legalizing bitcoin for payments.

This is something not everyone understands, and many people think that regulating the economy is very simple, and that is why many people always complain about the government. It wouldn't be a problem if bitcoin were only legal as a commodity and strictly regulated, but if it became a currency, destroying a country's economy wouldn't be so difficult. The economy needs to be closely monitored and regulated and to do that, the government needs a tool to do that and that is fiat, which they can intervene in at any time to balance economy. There are actually a lot of things to consider and handle before accepting bitcoin as currency, which is not easy for the government.

Real Sociedad has more dominating victory their last 5 matches but only won narrowly and it is not impossible that Mallorca will hold Real Sociedad to a draw in this match rather than accept defeat, they will try not to lose points and at least with a draw Mallorca will be satisfied with that result.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict this match even though Real Sociedad's chances are greater than Mallorca's, but it does not rule out the possibility that Mallorca will be able to hold on to a draw.
Real Soceidad will undoubtedly triumph over Mallorca in this encounter. Mallorca only drew once in their most recent head-to-head meeting with Real Soceidad, with Real Soceidad winning the remaining four games in their last five matches. I have no doubt that Real Soceidad will win this game. Although football can surprise us and go against what everyone predicts, there is still no chance of Mallorca winning while sitting in 15th place in the standings with 8 points in 9 matches since the start of the season.
There is nothing impossible in football. Yesterday San Marino almost drew with Denmark. This alone shows us how many possibilities there are. Denmark, who expected 5-6 goals before the match, barely won the match 2-1. That's why Mallorca is still capable of making surprises in La Liga with its not bad squad.
Real Sociedad has a good dominance of victory in the head to head and also, in this match Real Sociedad will play at home. So yes, whatever the reason I think it is not right if you think Real Sociedad will not win in this match because anyway, at this moment at least Real Sociedad has a player who is on fire too. Yes, that player is Kubo who so far has 5 goals in La Liga, and puts his name in 4th place in the list of top scorers in La Liga. Therefore, it seems very impossible for Real Sociedad not to win in this match, because basically Real Sociedad is in a better trend compared to Mallorca.

Real Sociedad is not a weak team at all. They have a strong enough squad. Apart from performing well in La Liga, this team is also doing well in the Champions League. On the other hand, the opponent Mallorca is one of the weaker teams in La Liga this year. This team is not doing well. In every match I see their main target is to draw the match and gain 1 point. This team plays poorly defensively. For this reason, it can be said that it will be a bit difficult for Real Sociedad to win the match. However, Sociedad's attack is quite strong. I would say if Real Sociedad don't concede the first goal in this match they will win. If Mallorca somehow manage to score the first goal of the match, the match is more likely to be a draw.

Same thing I've been complaining about Eric ten hag, he is full of trial and error, when I noticed this was when he had issues with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo was obviously the best attacker united had that season, he started putting him on the bench, as if he had a better plan, some times he played him towards the end of the match, a player that is capable of turning around the game in your favour. I knew he was doing that to prove a point to Ronaldo, that he is under him his control as a manager, so can do whatever he wants.  David de gea was doing just fine with United, why on earth did he not renew his contract. Ten hag went and brought onana a colossal failure to team. Ten hag needs more learning, United is too big to be managed by a coach that doesn't have foresight.
Maybe United parting ways with Ronaldo was the right move (age and all that) but the way it was done was absolutely unacceptable. Firstly, Ten Hag initially said that he needed Ronaldo and was counting on him, but after such words he kept him on the bench, naturally this led to a scandal. Secondly, Ronaldo is a United legend and in time everyone will remember that one man (Ten Hag) imagined himself to be more than the club and the management did not put him in his place in time. It is obvious that Ten Hag is not ready to coach top clubs. He worries more about his status than normal interaction with players

Ronaldo's conflict with the Ten Hag was well visible. Manchester United really needed Ronaldo. He is very experienced. Even if he doesn't perform well in a few matches, having a player like Ronaldo in the squad boosts the confidence of other players in the team. Even then Ten Hag did not keep Ronaldo in his starting XI. He kept Ronaldo on the bench. However, United may have played well in some matches after Ronaldo left the team. They managed to qualify for the Champions League. But again this season we are witnessing a poor performance from United. And I also think that Ten Hag doesn't have the experience to coach a big team like Manchester United yet.

GREAT INITIATIVE, If every man gift his wife with Bitcoin like this then Bitcoin can grow much more from its current state because if Bitcoin is gifted for marriage then no one will want to give up that gift easily. Very likely they will keep it as a companion for a long time. As a result, a good news for those wives is that they are going to own a large wealth in the long run. And I would say to the OP that if your wife has little idea about bitcoin, definitely educate her better so that she can be more interested in bitcoin and fully appreciate your gift.
That's a positive thing but it's not easy to convince women. I've tried but failed and there were even some of my sisters who weren't interested in keeping Bitcoin, they actually persuaded me to sell it immediately and recommended investing in real estate, but I think The recommendation is reasonable because they have no knowledge of Bitcoin so there is no trust.
However, I really hope that one day I can invite someone/my life partner to be able to save/invest in Bitcoin together and grow my trust in them like I believe.

I can only congratulate the OP, he can now live happier with a wife who has the same goals and they will most likely make quite large profits in the future from the Bitcoins they save together.

Even men like us have this and that, there will be people who like bitcoin, but there will be people who don't like bitcoin. So convincing a wife or woman will be more difficult, not as easy as what we are saying. But if you have a family, you should at least try teaching bitcoin to your spouse, if they like bitcoin as much as we do, that's actually a much better thing. But we shouldn't force them if they don't like it, let's respect each other's decisions.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how many halvings have you witnessed? on: October 17, 2023, 01:01:49 PM
I am yet to witness any halving and the purported bull run that accompanies it. This is the reason for this topic. I want to ask people that have witnessed many halvings if there has been a halving that was not accompanied by a bull run.
I also want to know if the majority of people always know that there is a bull run after every halving as in the case of this period. I am of the opinion that the reason the halving bull run is always effective is because of the ignorance of many who will join the bitcoin market at the very wrong time. Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up. Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

I only began investing in Bitcoin last year, so I haven't seen any halvings before, but I have close friends who have, and during the most recent halving, I was with them when they predicted that the price of Bitcoin would start rising, and in some months I saw that truly, the price started increasing gradually when I was learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general with them. However, I didn't have money to invest at the time.According to my understanding, the primary factors contributing to the ongoing increases in the price of bitcoin are the fewer new bitcoins being produced , which can raise demand, as well as the fact that demand does grow after a halving happens.
What you said is what happened in the past and I don't want you, OP or anyone who hasn't been through bull season to be disappointed. But I think we should still be careful, I mean, there's no guarantee things will repeat exactly the same. So, we can expect a bull season after the halving, but we should also have a plan for this situation if the bull season does not take place. Because when it comes to the future, there are no guarantees, and we need to prepare for every scenario so we don't get too disappointed.

I could not understand why would you pay someone for a car via cryptocurrency without first maybe knowing his background and whereabouts...like does he has an office or outlet where you can go to demand for the car you paid fully or partially? Me...I would never deal with anyone online because you don't know the other end of the line how real he is...for all you know he can be based somewhere in Africa and you are just one of his many victims.
If you would see the previous posts, OP stated that the scammer gave the information of the car, plate number to be exact that gave him the idea of the location of the car, and he also acquired the name but is not sure if it is the owner. But yeah, Op should not give a down payment. The information given is insufficient and a better thing to do in this kind of situation is to get to the location first and go there, check the car before giving money.





If OP already has information about that car such as the license plate number, he just needs to report to the police and they will easily find out the owner's information of that car. And if he saved the conversation between the two, he would have full proof that he was a victim of fraud and just need to report to the police, everything would be easier to resolve. Unless bitcoin is not legal in his country, then he should consider it a rather expensive lesson to trust others so easily. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.

-snip-
Barcelona face problem with attacking line after Robert Lewandowski got injured and the same problem with Real Madrid have loss their defender due injury such as Militao, Alaba but latest update Nacho have been confirmed can playing on El Clasico match after Real Madrid appeal acceptable. Its good news for Real Madrid fans because they have loss many player on defender position actually last match against Osasuna have put Aurélien Tchouaméni as central defender with Antonio Rüdiger after Alaba and Militao injured.
Barcelona still have speculation with faster recovery from Robert Lewandowski, still waiting official confirmation will Robert Lewandowski already for el clasico match or he will absent on very crucial match.
I hope both teams can field their best squads in the first El Clasico this season, but I have to wait for what happens in the next two matches both in La Liga and in the Champions League. Real Madrid will face Sevilla away from home and Braga in the Champions League, so it will be two grueling games with potential risks for player injuries.
The schedule between matches is very tight and that will obviously affect the players. Ancelotti and Xavi need to rotate to prevent injuries and fatigue, so I can expect the El Clasico match to be thrilling.
Well that is what we are all looking forward to and the worst would be if any of the top players would be injured before the El Clasico. It is still the most important game not only for the fans of both teams, but for the football world in its entirety. I think that this game is still electrifying people globally although I guess we are all missing these times when Ronaldo was facing Messi and it was all about them. It is not the case anymore, but watching players like Vinicius Junior is a of course a huge joy as well.
Of course, Vinicius is an important player, but watching Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid was like watching a legend. Barcelona matches were like that for Messi, too. Even watching them on television was a privilege. We will understand this better in a few years when they quit football. It should also be said that El Classico is more enjoyable with them.
I guess I can't and don't want argue against it, but it somehow is saddening to know that we will probably not see a duel like that again, which we had when Messi was against Ronaldo. None of the two could have existed the same way without the other. I think this is what made La Liga a crazy league because these two guys lifted the quality of the entire league and also how the league was perceived around the globe. I remember streaming a clasico back at the time and the next day they reported how many people watched a "standard" La Liga game between Barcelona and Real Madrid. It was hundreds and hundreds of millions all around the globe. I don't know if we will ever get to see that again.

We will never see El Clásico as exciting as it was when Messi and Ronaldo were in La Liga. Barcelona and Real Madrid are big clubs. They have a lot of fans. But Messi and Ronaldo have a different fan base. And it's huge. And so many people were eagerly waiting to watch El Clasico. But I think El Clasico lost a lot of viewers after Messi and Ronaldo left La Liga. And I myself don't feel as excited to watch El Clasico matches as I used to. However, the upcoming El Clasico match is likely to be exciting. Because the match is very important for Barcelona to grab the top spot in the table. Let's see if the match turns out to be competitive.
