I had similar thought while creating this thread but, had to abandon ship because when you look at it, we still need to shift values into a more generally acceptable forms to enjoy the benefits of having taken up certain investments.

So the idea was,
I got 0.5 BTC valued at $100 in 2015
Same 0.5 BTC is now valued at $120 in 2018.

Haven’t made a profit of $20, to enjoy that profit, I’ll still end up liquidating some of my original 0.5 BTC. Let’s say, 0.05 BTC is valued at $20. I’ll be deducting that from 0.05 BTC from the 0.5 which means,

0.5 BTC - 0.05 BTC = 0.45 BTC
Hence, 0.45 BTC would retain the $100 value in 2018.

What have we done, we have liquidated.

Same logic apply to every other investments. You’ll always end up selling a portion of what you are invested in to enjoy the profits. $100 in the bank will always remain $100. Invest it in let’s say,

10 wrist watches = $100 in 2015
Now, same 10 wrist watches = $200 in 2018

To get the profit, you’ll have to sell 5 of it.
And be left with 5 which would be valued at $100.
Same capital, reduced quantity.
However, valued has switched from commodity to money.

While all these are a need to know it counts towards the sort out for in choosing a device, the first thing to direct on where you should prioritize is:

The purpose of usage: This na the most first thing way you need bear in mind before you even look at the specifications way you go need a device to get before you choose am.
* If na photography be your target: you go prioritize camera first (IOS devices don champion this side), ROM to aid you store those plenty photos and video you wan shoot and Screen resolution.
* If na programming: Omo, you no Dey carry phone program nothing o, na laptop you need and that mean say, you go Dey look out for devices with better Ram, Screen resolution, System edition, Base processor, ROM, etc.
* If na for trading: As at above fit apply too but, e no really need be heavy duty like above.
* If na for everyday use: Just a device with good ROM, RAM and Camera resolution don solve the matter.

Cheers to keeping wake with Bitcoin at $120k

It didn’t take a breather as it’s quickly gone above $120.7k

Abeg, no reason the plenty grammar way I use for that topic header, I go still come down to our local pighin, that one just hard to put for pighin.

Meanwhile, Chelsea wire PSG watin no good, Chelsea fans Oye!

The idea with scarce resources is that, it never marks out in value and it even gets interesting with Bitcoin being a decentralized currency when Bid/Ask by users around the globe determines the prize, it gives no chances for manipulation and the price remains volatile.


It’s now a low

We are at $119,781k - 1 BTC now.
Seems the Asian opening would do it.

Tried turning but, my handheld device was on auto rotate so, the image turned with it. Maybe when I get the chance to flip my desktop then, I’ll get it. 

Lol… you know one truth, when certain weak investors becomes too conscious of their investments to te point they aren’t ready to loss even $2, then a drop from $118,902 to $128,900 is a significant dip. Funny how they would be clucking buy and sells more than they should and let exchanges reap them for execution fees

After seeing your comment on a thread I recently crated;

I dived right in to see if their our places Bitcoin could be spent in my locality and boom, found somewhere in the eastern part of the country, several kilometers away so, it ain’t any bit close but, this is being archived gradually and yeah, easterners in my country are known for being good at Business.

Hancarri.ng is making it happen.
Location: Hancarri
Plot 7, Imperial Mall, Cartege Cinema House Okpanam Road, Asaba 320242, Asabaof Nigeria

Aside from being amongst the first innovators, this is also one way to put your business on the map and Hancarri.ng has got this in the bag. Spending Bitcoins directly would be a normal thing in the future but for now, people are more focused on accumulating and accepting Bitcoin directly in purchases is another means for the merchant to not just do business but accumulate as well.

If we are to consider this; 1 BTC at $1k in 2016, that would mean,
0.5 BTC to be $500 in 2015 and now valued at
0.5 BTC to be $59.4k in 2025

Profit would be $58.9k
Wouldn’t be so wise playing around or spending all that money now would it…definitely you get the free hand to enjoy a good amount of it if you will and mainly when it’s necessary I maintain and your capital is something you could grow as well. By not spending any significant amount and let what you hold be the capital rather than dating it back to 2016 which is over 9years behind us.

Played this one too many times, trying to get you to sell or have it dump and he gets a better buying position even when he doesn’t need that for his company.

Wonder why his not selling even with his rain clouds prediction.

In times like this, I wonder where are the pessimist and those who always see Bitcoin to be dumping haven’t come so close to a previous all time high…
These are the people that would tell you to sell or maybe swap to USD so as to preserve its value and guess what, Bitcoin could be really defying as it’s gone against all odds to produce another ATH at $118.8k and it’s not stopping on its bullish formations.

One of the common statements you would get from people at this time and with the charts going green is that, you should take profit and be done with it so you’ll invest when it dumps. My advice for you guys would be:
That’s some knowledge from the speculation board. Don’t miss on the goods stuff there

Back to it, not as though Bitcoin always climbs but in times like this, it’s most likely and so, taking profit isn’t always the right mindset towards it. The idea still remains, having to expect more like OgNasty does with the little climbs to straighten your position and that’s what I found in this,
Now it’s already looking as though, Tuesday is way too far, lol… OgNasty, you were still spot on though and that’s the mindset to go with it.

For those that most take profit, you must try to understand certain concepts and the most important of them is;
Taking profit hasn’t got nothing to do with liquidating your Bitcoin portfolio to do so. You would be doing it wrong.

Profit refers to the increment on your invested capital. Mind you, your capital stays in place to yield even more as price progresses.

That means,
You got 1 BTC at $100k in December 2025
Today 13th July, 2025, it’s 1 BTC at $118.8k
Your profit is $18.8k and that’s what you can or should play around with.

Mind you, you should withdraw only if you must and haven’t got any other choice else, even invested capitals could be grown. There is always something to regret when we liquidate our portfolio and at the top of it, people tend to find it difficult buying at a high price after selling at a price that would become the low to where you would be buying from.

So, be mindful of what you do when price is going up, even taking profit could be a trap you don’t want to be in.
Your thoughts on this?

Hope people know take profit doesn’t also imply liquidating your portfolio…

Bitcoin is preparing to break $120k price range by tomorrow being 14th July, 2025, it seems the market don’t wish to wait on for Tuesday as speculated.

Green lantern mining village trying to keep evil out and sustain the bulls through the weekend that cry bear clouds on the village.

Not today they say, not today, Bitcoin maintains a good range above $117k and we just would see $120k in the coming week.

Tried to follow through on this and even had to visit eBay and make a search for ‘modded t21’ if I could get some hint on what it’s about which would tell on what’s been discussed but, didn’t get anywhere with that.

Don’t mind me, just having a hard time catching up from the bottom but, not so much on Bitcoin price, lol…

It’s $117.2k now and it’s weekend, what would you be drinking to with this recent ATH hit and the highs it’s been making…

When people already have the idea of getting in early on an altcoin and you would be in line for some quick money established on their minds, they tend not to care what the altcoin is out there to offer which is always the same thing, just one slight difference that wouldn’t be of any significant value except, to milk the public for those behind the project.

Investors in altcoins almost never research and in the real sense, what you mentioned here like the coding system,, developers and possibly those behind the project including what it tends to archive is what they should be looking out for and not just to buy and hope that it pumps.

One thing is for sure though, developers would always take profit before investors would and that tells you how shady altcoins could be.

I would be bold to say, you can lecture me!

It doesn’t mean I don’t know a thing or two about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies but, you might have an interesting way to put it which might be entirely new to me or even better than the way I have always known it or would put it. At least, what I feel I know, I would share and if it results to what I need to pose some contradicting arguments on, I would as well and not because I want to argue and be difficult but, because I want to learn from it.

Even newbies have got something to teach you know. The ignorance of those who are learning can bring the spark that question which would lead to intelligent discussions and discoveries.

I recently saw somewhere that, two set of racers were asked to take a test in running. One group was asked to run for 20minutes and the other group were just asked to run and wasn’t given a time range. In the exercise, it was found out that, the athletes that weren’t timed did better than the ones that knew all they had to do was run for 20minutes.

That is to say, once your mind already capped it at a certain point, that’s how far you are more likely to reach.

It’s important however to know your body and I figure that’s what your post implies and yes, limits are good for fitness else, you might end up building muscles and changing your structure in ways that you wouldn’t appreciate. Slowly beating your limit though builds endurance and works without having to stress the muscles.

Even buying the dip strategy isn’t so easily overcomes especially for those that are new into Bitcoin. You tend to face 2 type of challenges which are,
1. Knowing that this is the dip and price wouldn’t further dip from this point
2. Having faith in Bitcoin to go up as it usually does (you often find newbies in Bitcoin fighting within themselves speculatively).

That’s why, the ‘I don’t care’ what the price is which is usually the attitude about the DCA strategy always works best and is usually achieved rather easily. In fact in a way, it keeps your greed in check because, you look forward to a long term goal rather than short term.

What does BTRC means? I didn’t get that.

A journey of a thousand mile begins with one bold step they say. Not so long ago I had difficulty posting on the forum and always wondered just how some of you that have got thousands of posts managed to do it. Just how are you not running out of ideas and have always known or got want to say in discussions and make relevant ideas. To some extent, participation was really difficult but, it would be a lot more when you don’t free yourself and open your mind to what is on your screen.

That’s where I am at I think, opening myself to what everyone has to say and try to get along. It might not be a measure achievement, it might not look like much compared to the numbers most of you have but, this was a mile that initially looked really far and difficult and so, I’ll like to mark it here as a reminder of many miles to work and that it’s possible once you keep going forward.

100th Post: marked with JayJuanGee

This is to encouragement to myself and those who find it hard to actively participate in discussions on the forum. My advice, start from the niche you know and read from the niche you don’t know too well, sticking around helps you to learn even more.

Here ends, my 100th and begins a count for 101…

Of course you would have a hard time, I see you are not Nigerian and having an interest in our affairs makes you a peculiar user, that’s fine.

As unrealistic as it might seem, there are those that are still able to earn that much in the country, those who work in some of the ministries and oil firms, those who earn per sales from their business and franchise. Interestingly, a lot of these persons are well placed and rarely care so much about a Bitcoin investment. Most of them just stay themselves in the old ways of earning and finances.

When it’s about stating hypothesis, everything goes and what I really think is that, it doesn’t matter how one earns or how small the amount might be. Someone who is really concerned about growth wouldn’t want to live day to day. There isn’t a way to grow without having some kind of savings or investments which makes it paramount that, people should always find ways to cut down for investment purposes it’s a sacrifice to safe guard your future.
