Regret is always the end product for those who failed to invest in Bitcoin earlier, just like the you, most people who knew about Bitcoin and had the funds to invest earlier when it was below $40k are regretting too, for some people it was due to ignorance, lack of funds, and their were some who were procrastinating with thought that Bitcoin wouldn't get to this point, well it's clear your doubt and instead of living in regrets it's time to take make ammends.

 Why? Cause Bitcoin is still at it's early stage and it has the potential to even get to $1m in the future, so now it's at this stage it's time to gather as much as possible before it gets to that amount, I think those that are still procrastinating even while they missed the opportunity of buying it when it was $40 would regret more when Bitcoin gets to $1m in the future and they've got nothing in their portfolio so OP buy bitcoin and hold just like your friends did cause it's not too late and you don't have to wait for the bear season before buying it cause you would've missed many opportunities before it comes.

Bitcoin is the topmost growing digital assets and has also been a most dominance in the crypto markets with a current market capitalization of $1.678 trillion.

It never made this credibilities by double chancing any of the alt coins to say it is the first crypto currency that has reached $100K instead the alt coins has been imitating the Bitcoins values and yet non of it could be compared to Bitcoin.

Most investors who are Investing on the alt coins are only seem to diversify on them while their major asset holding is on Bitcoin reasons being that Bitcoin is reliable and less risky to invest on considering the crypto currencies has a potential of volatilities to outcome it source of productive.

Meanwhile... Bitcoin has been the most of not only crypto currencies with the store of value against economy inflation.

Scammers, hackers and criminals are a big issue in crypto and every day, we can have bad luck to be affected.

Many people are getting scammed daily.
Even, if you are aware of scammers and you don’t fall for any scam, it is still possible to be targeted by hackers.
Because hackers are knowing very well about malicious code and some sites are very risky because of download and even when you don’t know it, it can be a dangerous situation for your device.


Avoid risky sites and downloads

A big trap are malicious sites and downloads. Hackers and criminals like such risky sites and malicious downloads to infect our device and if it’s successfull we will suffer a lot.
Conclusion: avoid risky sites and avoid downloads.
It will improve our safety from hackers and criminals.

However, even avoiding risky sites and downloads is sometimes not enough because hackers are really educated to target someone.


Avoid Darknet sites

An important point is to avoid Darknet sites, where many hackers and criminals are active. Not necessarily scammers but mainly hackers and criminals.
Because Darknet is a space, where criminal business goes unnoticed. We need to be very carful to avoid it because of malware link, hack and criminals.

Our best proceed is to avoid any Darknet sites enitrely and if we avoid it, we won’t get any malicious malware on our device or similar.
Luckily, Darknet is very difficult to reach and you need certains programs for it.


Do not legitimize scammers, hackers and criminals

It is always easy to let scammers escape from it, if we are not affected. But once we are affected, it is really a big issue. And Crypto is suffering from a lot from criminal activites, no matter if on Telegram, on lots of malicious download sites, from fraud altcoins, from malware link, from exchange hack or even here on Bitcointalk.

Unfortunately, hacks or criminal activity is downplayed often. It should not be downplayed because it’s massively harmful. No one needs scammers, hackers and criminals.

We need to call out malicious people and criminal activities, not downplay it. We need to combat it, too.


We need to find solutions how to stop scammers, hackers and criminals

Finding solutions how to stop scammers, hackers and criminals is very important for everyone.
After more people realize how important it is to stop criminals, we need solutions to do so. Bitcointalk has a scam accusations board, where we can report scammers, create reports and distribute negative trust. Finally, after an online research, scammer’s homes can be prosecuted and scammers can be sent to prison.
Because scammers, hackers and criminals need to be punished for doing massive harm.
Straight to jail.


Create awareness against scammers, hackers and criminals

We need to create awareness against scammers because everyone needs to know it is a big danger.
We need to mention it often and try to find solutions against scammers, hackers and criminals.

If scammers, hackers and criminals are not succesful, doing business will get more difficult for such shady people.

We need to be woke about it because a scammer, a criminal and a hacker can be everywhere. Crypto is heavily targeted by scammers because it’s directly rewarding any hack or criminal activity, where Crypto Currencies are obtained.

In modern economics, Bitcoin is steadily establishing its presence. As time goes by, the number of Bitcoin users continues to rise. Although Bitcoin was initially created as a medium of exchange, it has now become one of the most popular assets for investment. In particular, Bitcoin is considered the most reliable and has the highest potential for long-term returns. To gain the maximum benefit from Bitcoin, one should focus on long-term investment planning.

As a novice investor, before starting your investment, you need to make sure of the following:
1. A reliable source of income or an alternative income source.
2. Basic knowledge about Bitcoin and investing.
3. A long-term plan and commitment to long-term investment.


5. Lump Sum Investment[/b]

I understand the rest, but this number 5 I will like little explanation about it, is confusing.

Even though trading and gambling resemble for face that resemblance no pass for face there, u go make very serious mistake to think say trading and gambling na the same thing, and if you enter trading with that gambling mindset wahala go dey. so weting be the difference between the two

 1. RISK:   the biggest thing wey separate gambling and trading na risk, for the two risk dey sha but with trading you fit control your risk, too many parameters and avenue dey to control your risk, for gambling the chances to control risk dey very slim.

 2. RESULT: Another thing wey separate these two na how to achieve the desired result wey be PROFIT, with gambling your chances dey based on luck and odds, and these two dey too random for somebody to base success on them naim make most gamblers na once once them dey cash out something sef before you see that one cash out you don play tire, loose money tire...with trading, results dey random too but e no dey based on luck and odds  the results dey based on information, historical data wey you fit go back to anytime anyday to help you see wetin market don do before so that u go fit Bank on am then trade, for example make we say market dey trend, e go must hit one or two important areas or prices before e reverse  so you fit bank on some of these kinds of information and data to trade, so your success now no dey based on luck and odds again but market behavioural consistency(price action, market structure and order flow).

3. DATA: with gambling your data sources dey limited if at all anyone dey, naim make gamblers results dey based on luck but with things like trading crypto and other asset classes, you get numerous sources of data, for example, you get fundamental data, sentimental data, technical data and even relational data, by the time you don put your head down learn these informations and know wr to find them, your trading go make sense even dey easier with time as you gather experience and growth

TIMING: while gambling na something wey be start now end now, trading na game of patience, you must learn patience to dey able to trade otherwise you go dey loose money like say u dey gamble

Unfortunately plenty people no know these things so them dey use the mindset of gambling to enter trading naim make person go carry money wey be urgent 2k for another thing use am to trade to make quick profit then send back the main money, without experience or anything, just because them see another person dey make money from trading them feel say na based on 2 odds or over 2.5,..those kind things no dey ever work because even  if luck dey important e dey less needed for trading and the market no dey pity person

I no fit talk all the differences here but these ones na the key ones I know say others get too to add, but las las abeg trading and gambling no be the same thing,

No let person deceive you do wetin your mind no tell you because as Nigeria don dey go now no be time to debate school issues as students dey complain. One thing I believe myself be say anyhow people complain about something your case fit be different, na to just gather self courage already no be all fingers dey the same. People fit dey complain now say graduate no get work maybe when you graduate finish you go see work. This issue na common issue as matured men go always say school no get value, the reason why I mentioned aged men because I don hear am wella from their speech, for example e get one time I enter keke and youth corpers full road just imagine wetin the papa wey sit close to me talk, he say after all this struggle no work for them and e better make person carry time learn handwork than to go school. I reason this statement and I relate am with the Nigeria top fashion designer Veekee James, this lady na inspiration to people wey no get money to go school but rather make them purse their dream, school fit work for Mr A but Mr B own fit dey different just depend how you take follow your dreams.

It is very difficult to access except for professional developers and majors.

I don’t get it, why would you need to sit for hours just to stay active on the forum? You can share and engage during your free time; it doesn’t have to take up all your day. That’s why I’m a bit confused about the idea.

After haven waited for several days for people to submit their screenshots with example how they should send their screenshots here. Below..


I observed that only few people who submitted their screenshots and we happens to have 1 winner who guess correctly the ending merits of Upgrade00 at 2415.
My judgement is based on those who only follow instructions by sending their screenshots here, if you win and you didn't send screenshot then you are automatically disqualified for not following up with rules.  Note: several reminders was posted to alert those who participated on the guessing contest but there was no responds from them, therefore had to pick a winner from those who responding on the thread and followed instructions.


Like the instructions from the Op below:

Therefore we have Amphenomenon As the winner of this Guessing contest. Please send me your Binance deposit address on pm (BSC-usdt or Trc20-usdt) receive $50 from me, and also forward to Justbillywitt for his $10 donation to make it up $60, I could have announced the winner days back but was waiting for a top up from sig before announcement .

Hello pls I am a new member here . I want to learn more about bitcoin and crypto trading. I want to know more about the forum and how things are being done here .
I will also love to know about gambling . Can anyone tell me more about this forum and cryptocurrency

I have seen many reasons why I will not spend too much in this Christmas and new year season, so that I will have funds to buy bitcoins and hold for long term because what my two eyes see in this bull market that made the price of bitcoin to cross $100k, it make me to believe that the price will enter another high price in the future that will create more opportunity for holders to earn more income from bitcoin, Since the price has started reducing from $102k to $100k, I think it will reduce more in the future for the price to enter $20k again, for majority of people to buy as much they want and hold till bull market.

I have a friend who earns in bitcoin while his other three brothers earn in Fiats from their businesses and professions. His other brothers are progressive and doing better in their businesses but this friend of mine decides to hodl his bitcoin for future growth then he can establish a physical business from the profits he hope to make from bitcoin in the future while he will still hodl some amount in his wallet. Now, his family and his brothers are worried that they are not seeing any physical reflection of someone who is earning in bitcoins as he proclaimed because they were expecting that since he is earning in bitcoins that he will sell it to Fiats and use the money to establish a business or a project that will be visible to them that he is progressing as well. His family have now called a meeting to question him about what he does with the money he earns in bitcoins since they haven't seen any physical impact from him. He told them he is hodling the bitcoins till he must have acquired a sizable amount in his portfolio and make huge profits from it before he can think of selling and use the money for physical businesses and projects but his family didn't believe him and they ask him to declare his asset in bitcoins before they can be convinced about what he is saying. He then refused to declare his asset in bitcoin because he has already hodl a large amount and since the meeting comprised some of his extended family members, he was not comfortable declaring his crypto asset due to some personal and security reasons.

If you were in his shoes, can you declare your crypto asset to your family? Or do you think he should have declared it to them after the extended family members must have left and even if he did, the information can still leak to the extended family and from there it can escalate to other people. What opinion do you have to give in this situation?

Yes there is
