Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

Are those who wait for the price to fall really real investors? Real investors will never wait for the fall. Waiting means taking a few steps back. Even if we want to, we cannot go back to the past, when the price of Bitcoin was 5-10 dollars. Those who could not invest in the past are suffering from regret. So we have to evaluate while we have time. So try to own Bitcoin as soon as possible, because in the future there will come a point when it will not be possible for you to buy 0.001 Bitcoin. Now if you want to buy dips, you can follow the DCA method, if you buy Bitcoin in the DCA method, then there is no need to wait to buy dips because if you invest in Bitcoin in the DCA method, you will get the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at the average price. And above all, you have to plan for the long term, if you do not plan for the long term, no method can make you successful. So do not wait, plan to buy Bitcoin at any time, at any moment.
They can be real investors but lack of understanding may make things look as if they arent real investors, at that point they are waiting they might even think that they are really doing the right no knowing that they are actually setting a trap for themselves, mate, ignorant is a disease, i have heard many investors talking about the dip being the best time to buy, if you are an OG in this space, I mean if you being here for awhile and have been able to accumulate enough bitcoin, I think you can actually say let me buying with ease and may be try to buy large amount during the dip, an OG can decide to do that reason being that he's not new again but as for a newbie, what is the newbie waiting, do the newbie understand what he's waiting for, someone that has not started yet is waiting for something that may not happen as he thinks.
Waiting is never an option, buying at all time is the best option for everyone especially newbies, it helps investor build a substantial level of bitcoin portfolio overtime, so buy without looking at the price with the little you can and hodl for a long-term.

Anyone who witnessed the bitcoin price action within the past 24 hours will understand that bitcoin has a lot to offer in the future. Bitcoin is currently building a strong resistance which it has exhibited recently.  Anyone who's still  waiting without investing or planning to sell mus be making a huge mistake. This period is for buying more and more bitcoin and if not buys, at least, there should be no sales. Holding your already accumulated bitcoin and/or buying more should be the way forward now.
Off course it has a lot of potential in it but what happened in past 24 hours plus in reality is volatility in action, as a matter of fact it is what it is, those that understand that bitcoin has a future in it has never failed to invest in it no matter what, they set of persons that has always complain are those that are in for quick profit and the keep getting dispointed, it is unfortunate that i still see people complain about bitcoin price being very high and because of that they wouldn't want to buy now because they are waiting for the dip, isn't this funny, why will someone decide to be a temptation to himself, who told them them that even though they price dips, it will dip to the level they want to, so as to enable them invest as they want it, it obvious that some folks are still ignorant of bitcoin investment at this stage but what we do rather than preaching it as it is to their hearing so that they won't have any other excuse to give when they fail to take up the responsibility, the time to buy is now, no further procrastination.

Re: Changing strategy to win !

Strategic gambling is the key factor responsible for good gambling. Some gamblers goes into it without his or her unique gambling pattern and that is the major causes of failure and constant lost in it. Going into gambling is same as going into business no matter how small or big, it requires identifying your reasons and a systematic business plan that drives once daily activities. All successful business men works with plans that helps them achieve their goals, so any gambler that doesn't have such itemized gambling strategy ends up being a loser.
You are right to an extent, do you know that your pattern of gambling may not favour you continuosly, although you might be lucky to win with whichever pattern you gamble with for sometime but one thing you should know is that such pattern may faile at anytime and thats what makes it gambling, it will better for a gambler to gambler with the mindset that losing may occur at anytime this will help in reshaping his mindset to bet or gamble with what he will be able to forgo in case of any ugly situations, being strategic also means being responsible for your actions and knowing what to do at all time as a gambler, not because you will win but at least making sure that as you gamble, you don't invite much loss.

Re: Which is more addicting?
by
Rockson1
on 11/07/2025, 15:47:35 UTC
There are different types of gamblers depending on what they play. Some gamblers are rounded and play all kinds of types possible but there are those who only stick with one type.

For example, one could just play slots while one just sports betting. My question would be which one do you think is more addicting? Slot machines are more rapid and you can play it more consecutively because it is fast unlike sports betting where matches take time. You might get addicted on sports betting more if you enjoy analyzing things and winning it might give you some pride for your skills. Not to mention that if you are a fan of the sport you are betting on, surely you are emotionally invested in the sport therefore would want to follow it and bet on it many times.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?
Both are gambling, since they are gambling and we already know that gambling is addictive in nature so I believe that it will bow down the one individual gamblers prefer among the two I think that will one decide which one is more addictive but I am to conclude on this question of yours, I will say both are addictive, gambling remains gambling, so I personally feel that none of the types of gambling activity you mentioned here triggers gambling addiction than each other I think it depends on the one individual gambler gambles often.

Re: Procrastination of your Bitcoin investment

Procrastination has made a lot of people who knew about Bitcoin early miss out on investing and accumulating Bitcoin because they were procrastinating. Anyone that wants to invest and accumulate bitcoin now but thinks that the bitcoin price is too high for him to invest in bitcoin should not worry; he can use the DCA (dollar cost averaging) to accumulate bitcoin little by little, and if he's consistent in his accumulation, before he knows what he's doing, he will accumulate a sizeable amount of bitcoin.
Procrastination is the worst thing that can ever happen to a futuristic intending investor, anyone that want roncataily be part of bitcoin investment should never accommodate procrastination, it kills dreams, it makes some individuals feel that they can always do it later when they feel is necessary not knowing that such will be the end of that plan, just as you said, I don't think there should be reason for anyone to procrastinate as soon such person is ready to invest in bitcoin investments, you mentioned a method of investment which I even believe that such method of accumulating bitcoin was introduced knowing fully well that there will be people who will want to behave this way,. that's to say everyone is good to go with the amount they can conveniently afford steadily.

If not for the reputation that Bitcoin has built over the years as a store of value, memecoins scams would have dragged crypto reputation into the mud. Memecoins are no different from Ponzi schemes, left for then alone cryptocurrency would have collapsed. But thanks to Bitcoin reputable, the name cryptocurrency still holds value.
This is an established fact, no doubts on this, you can call bitcoin father of cryptocurrency I think that would've been the best name for it, the entire digital currency space would've been a mess without this innovation called bitcoin, if we should count from the day this coin has been in existence, we will find out that there's no other crypto project that we can say that's better it is, I think there's no comparison at all, from value, reputation, reliability, decentralisation, name it,  be it memecoin, altcoin, it is better for us to be careful out there when involving ourselves in these investment, am not against anyone doing it but I think it will be nice for us to actually know why we are going before finally making our decision to invest, as for all you said you're right, it can only be bitcoin although one can also try altcoins like Ethereum and BNB or maybe other few ones  I was unable to mention, aside this ones that has also exhibited a long term character, other ones can be regarded as overhyped shit.

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, but those who want to get rich quick through Bitcoin investment are never investors, but rather they are gamblers. Those who think of getting rich quick overnight, should try to get rich through gambling instead of Bitcoin investment, because who knows, they may even get the jackpot due to their luck, this is just an example. Don't think about getting rich quick through Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin is a long-term process and Bitcoin will bring the most successful results in the long run. So instead of worrying about daily fluctuations, keep the mindset of holding Bitcoin for the long term, its results will definitely satisfy you.
They are theoghly gamblers which can also be referred to as traders, the problem with some people is that they aren't patient enough to understand bitcoin investment instead they are just after being too quick to chase something that may likely mess them up financially, was bitcoin even meant to be used for trading, how wil someone even think that he or she will just come in today and just boom immediately how possible is this, even in gambling has it been easy like that for anyone to make money so fast as such,  the mindset of many people has been the reason why they couldn't and wouldn't go far in bitcoin stuff because what they are looking for is not what bitcoin represents, as for fluctuation, it didn't start today and it won't end for any reason, bitcoin is a volatile asset as such both intending and existing investor should get used to it because it ain't changing, is just like telling humans to stop breathing, so it ain't possible.

Bitcoin has existed for more than 15 years now, and since from the inception, Bitcoin has shown to the world that investing in it is not just having a mere asset, but also about storage of value that appreciate with time, at no point has Bitcoin posed as a risky investment right from inception to those that have invested in it with, so this kind of narrative of Bitcoin being a risky investment was mongered during the early days of Bitcoin and over the years bitcoin has continued to prove those nay sayer's wrongly. If it's as risky as you make it sound, why would you even advise anyone to DCA in the first place, you shouldn't approbate and reprobate. there is no doubt about the fact that you should use your discretionary income while investing, however there are those that are financially buoyant who can also  lump-sum not minding your narrative.
You just narrated things how they are, and even though bitcoin is a risky investment i don't think it is bad after all it has proven to stands a test of time so what else, risky or no risky we have all seen here bitcoin is today, they problem i have with people is that they will always have something to say even though there's nothing, some persons just keep coming up with excuses to discourage themselves, in life one must take risk although it should be a calculated risk, if I may ask what's even the risk in bitcoin investment that people talk about, an investment that we know that has an easiest way one can invest in it freely without stress, I think people refer hodling as risk, if not what then is even the risk here, I don't think anyone narrative should change anyone's mindset of buying with whichever pattern as far such pattern does not depend on buying only on dips alone.

If you come across someone that needs help, then you might try to assist them. But don't go about trying to spread a word of bitcoin to unknown individuals. It makes you a target because the public has this mindset of anyone who understands how BTC works literally must own. And truly most knowledgeable individuals or bitcoin literates owns a considerable amount of bitcoin.. so it's a no for me.. stay safe.
This is a good advise and the right approach that bitcoiners should follow to be free from being victims of attacks from criminal elements  that sees every bitcoiner as a rich person, we can actually preach to those that we know and even though we do, our portfolio or hodlings should be a secrete that shouldn't be made public or revealed to anyone, the world is no longer a safe place, so we should be careful in things we do, our intentions may be good but the person we are passing the knowledge of how this store of value works may not be good, am adhering to this advise of yours straight ahead, thanks.

Re: Avoid going for a loan as a trader

Borrowing money is not a wrong idea but what you're borrowing such money for could be the problem but if it's in a good investment asset which you have done your background check on it, then you're good to go (it's called good debt). But the one narrated in the OP which is about borrowing to trade or gamble, that's bad debt and it can ruin you. It's inevitable you wouldn't be under pressure gambling or trading from a loan money because you'll eager to meet up deadline.

With the little idea I have on this, I think borrowing isn't totally bad, it all depends on what you actually want to make use of the loan for that matters, loaning should be done with a strategic plan, it is not advisable for anyone to wake up to access a lone for unnecessary reason, it should be for good investment just as your post have outlined to be, one thing people should always have in mind to borrow is the fact that the money they are accessing ain't free, it comes with a certain amount of repayable interest that may be consequential if one defaults, so with this reason alone, anyone seeking for loan would've known that preparation should be on ground for reaoyemant and I believe that the only way this repayment can be made is by investment is something that profit oriented to avoid defaulting on the terms that was signed in the agreement.

Re: The benefits of motivation.
by
Rockson1
on 01/06/2025, 14:05:50 UTC
One of the ways to increase productivity in any company or organization is motivation.

When you appreciate people or employee's effort,you see them do more.
So for people or employees to do more, they need to be motivated.

Even in families, motivation can also be applied.


We have different kinds of motivations such as.....

1). commendation.
2).Gift of any kind.
3)it could even be early payment of salaries.
Etc.

Motivation is key in any organization or companies that wants to succeed.

Normally motivate dey help in this areas you outlined, every body needs motivation to do more, although we can also motivate ourselves depending on the scenario, most firms and institutions don't appreciate there employees that why they keep having issues, when an employees see his or her working environment to be a friendly one, that employees will definitely want to put in effort in what he does, this is a practical thing that most employers has to know, there are situations where an employer stil money from his or her boss although am against this but when you dig dip sometimes you find out that it is actually as a result the attitude or maltreatment metted on them from their so called boss, so I believe in motivation no matter how it goes.

This is my first not bitcoin-related topic.

I 've had small issues in the past year. My mind was suffering from strange thoughts. To avoid any confusion, I am not talking about self-harming or anything like that. I don't really know how to explain what I am talking about, so I will try to picture it for you.

I am talking about shallow interactions, where someone's ass is more important than their soul.
I am talking about posting how happy everyone is on social media, but crying when their camera is off.
I am talking about people sitting next to each other, being lost in their mobile screens, barely talking to each other.
I am talking about not flirting face-to-face, but instead sending friend requests on social media, trying to look cool to impress the other part, who is doing the exact same thing.

To be honest, I am not in a bad personal situation. On the opposite, I am very good with myself. I am regularly doing psychotherapy where I have the chance to discuss everything that bothers me. I am also kinda older now, which means I have made most of the important decisions someone has to make in their lives.

But I want to listen to you.
Tell me, do you see the situation getting any better?
Or, do we need to adapt to the new reality?

With the look of things, I think those are the reality we have to accept and adapt to, technology keep growing and making people to turn to something else and many of us are now a victim of these realities and what can we do, I think in some ways this technology has also helped too, though it individuals seems to be distracted on the social media to a very large extent but their good ways this social media can impact us too by exposing us to some information that may be of help to us, helping us to be distracted especially when we are going through emotionally upset we can be distracted though this means temporarily but still face those things when we get off the sovaill media, things has really gone too bad, I have to be sincere, I dont think we can get it right they way it was before because as I speak we don't even know the next invention coming soon so it will be very difficult to get it right as we want, human relationshipsl has deteriorated so much because of the facts you outlined but we must adapt to it and never allow the whole scenario to bother us much because it has to stay.

Banks are thieves, it's fucking unwise to entrust our wealth with banks, never should anyone leave whole portions of their money in the bank, if for any life sudden incident, at your dismissal everything ever owned are going down the pit, not a single dime will be transferred to your family or children.

I can tell that there are big businessmen who own accounts that their family knows nothing about, one's the account gets inactive for long time, banks begin to pull out funds little by little, time without recall we have heard various news concerning such immoral behaviors, banks should not be issued live savings, we should learn how to decentralized our savings and not put all into central services like banks.


We've seen this things happen as you said it but it looks like all this kind of things happen in Africa mainly I don't think this kind of things do take place in the civilised world where documentation and data are properly taken and kept for reference purposes, the laws here are not effective that's more reason I should agree to what you've written so far, it is funny if we even think that financial institutions don't know what they are doing, they do all this things internationally so that they can wipe out the deceased funds in their custody, the frustration the family of the deceased family encounter while trying to retrieve this funds can even discourage them from continuing the process.

Banks here can never be trusted in things like this, I know that we can not do without banks however, anyone considering putting their life savings in the bank will be doing that to their own detriment because anything that involves banks here in this country can not be trusted so we shouldn't put all our hope their so that we won't get stucked.

However crypto is just a general name while every coin on the crypto space has their own name and their own reputations. Bitcoin is a legit coin in the crypto market that's why a lot of people and investors must consider Bitcoin investment before thinking of other sources to put little of their money incase they get scammed on any of the shit-coin.

Like the other comments above, and I have also thought as much because DCA can also be used in other investments even on real estate or gold. It have been used for a very long time even before Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin for the whole world to use. DCA method is the easiest way to invest in Bitcoin even as a beginner or an old time investor you can apply DCA method on Bitcoin investment and every other form of investments.

If anyone has experience managing wallets on Android, tell me if your funds have disappeared some time?

Has Android system spying for private keys?

I mean on a pure Android without any installed apps excepting crypto wallets + google play
You can use the electrum wallet on your android device because with my knowledge the electrum wallet doesn't select a device. What's there is that you should not save the seed phrase on your android device because someone might see the seed phrase and use them to steal your assets when you start your investments.
