Re: What is the best way to gamble?
by

on 13/07/2025, 22:49:48 UTC
The best way to gamble is when you make a deposit, have fun time, then, either close your device or leave casino or withdraw winning. That is the perfect outcome for every gambler. Asking anything best besides that is like asking which color is the best or which food has best taste. Everyone gamble the way they want and that is their best way to gamble. Making own gambling experience is the most important for every person.

If you end up losing would you still categorize it as a fun time? Lol. It's easy to deposit, win and withdraw then call it a fun time or experience but even though you might have the same experience when losing deep down you wouldn't really say you had fun...every minus comes with a lot of frustration, well it depends on how much you stake though...for me losing isn't fun that's why I gamble responsibly

The ultimate pleasure in gambling lies in winning, and no one can deny that. Losing will always be disappointing, even if the amount spent is small. I believe this perception arises because most people view gambling only in one perspective, the money. Whereas, the time spent gambling is far more valuable, and if someone invests a large portion of their time in continuous gambling, the subsequent regret and disappointment are much greater.

The key is to gamble responsibly, not exceeding their budget and not spending too much time, these two should be in balance. Don't let gambling interfere with other activities and cause stress. This is simple enough to say, but I believe it's very difficult to implement.

Re: Observation on life needs
by
ShowOff
on 13/07/2025, 22:08:29 UTC
I have observed that if you increase your needs, the new 'increased need state' becomes your new norm after a while. For example, if you didn't have car before but then you purchase it, use it regularly and then when you don't have it anymore — you'll miss your car, you'll feel like you can't live without it even though you managed to live without it before.

Do you agree with this observation? Would you agree that it's better to not increase your needs in first place?
In life, you don't remain the same; you grow, and by the time you grow past where you used to be, it will be a stage where you won't find it comfortable to come back. It doesn't even make sense to remain the same in life, let alone talk about going back to a previous stage. If we look at this in terms of financial state, it is very easy to manage the amount of money you have now, but if more money comes in, it means the demands increase. If one fails to improve their financial life and falls back to the financial state where they used to be, it typically seems difficult because there are already more demands.

At first glance, the situation is closely related to how a person maintains their wealth. Those who have risen in status, whether in terms of living standards or otherwise, will strive to maintain what they already have. No one is comfortable or ready to fall back into their previous situation, even though unexpected things always happen in life. I think anyone who already owns an asset, such as a car, certainly has wise financial management in spending and maintaining their money.

On the other hand, I think this is also closely related to a sense of acceptance of any situation. We should always be grateful for what we have now, but remain prepared to face various challenges, including the loss of everything we have. I believe that people who were previously poor, for example, when they become rich and then fall back into poverty, will easily recover because they have a never give up mentality.

Re: Use simple logic to win in sports betting..

There's no logic, strategy or whatever we like to call it that can give us guaranteed win in sports bet, every gambler should choose whatever logic that works for them. But the question mark is whether there is such a logic in sports bet or gambling generally, I sincerely don't think so. I don't worry about logics in gambling because at the end of the day you still need luck to win. I have seen experienced analysts fail in their predictions many times so I stopped putting my hopes in gamblers logics. I analyze what I can and bet with small amounts that is my strategy for gambling generally.

Even though there are no guarantees in logics or patterns having a strategy is better than having none... gambling is all about luck true, but relying on luck means that have no direction and you are going to definitely lose a lot of money...it depends on the type of strategy you are using, having a good one can improve your gambling skills and how you control yourself thereby limiting the rate at which you lose

It's true, there's no guarantee someone will win a bet even after in depth analysis, it only helps increase the odds. Gambling is fundamentally about luck, and often surprises happen beyond expectations, with underdog teams sometimes playing better. Therefore, no matter what strategy is applied, it still doesn't guarantee a win, but an experienced gambler will always have a backup plan to minimize losses.

What we're discussing has a very relevant example, Chelsea just secured the Club World Cup title. It's worth noting that before the match began, PSG were heavily favored due to their excellent reputation. PSG had easily defeated top teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but they surprisingly lost to Chelsea. Many gamblers likely suffered losses, and that's precisely what we mean when we say there are no guarantees in gambling.

Chelsea is making a good move amd started the match aggressively in the first ten minutes. PSG just started touching the ball properly after the first ten minutes but Chelsea is not giving them any space. Cole Palmer is the only player that has made a good attempt of finding the back of the net. What an amazing first 16 minutes.

Cole parmers performance so far has been impressive, he scored first goal at the 22nd minute and the second goal at the 30th minute. This is the reason that reason why football is so unpredictable. Everyone thought psg would dominate Chelsea but it seems like the opposite of that is happening now. Let's hope that psg would be able to bounce back in second half because right now it seems they can't win this game

Many people will find it difficult to say, PSG were crushed by Chelsea 3-0 in the first half. Through rapid attacking play, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro managed to score, ensuring their team was well ahead at halftime. I think it will be difficult for PSG to turn things around, and I believe the hot weather might be why PSG failed to show their best performance. The Chelsea players never stopped running when they lost the ball, exactly like PSG usually do, and that's what allowed them to score three goals.

I thought PSG would win the match easily, but the opposite happened. It seems many predictions were wrong because PSG were heavily favored before the match began. Honestly, I never imagined PSG would concede three goals in the first half, this is truly another surprise in football. Chelsea just needs to maintain their lead going into the second half.

But Manchester United's performance last season was truly disastrous. I mean, for a team with such a rich history and a former top-four finish a few years ago, they finished 15th in the final standings. On the one hand, we can't compare Leverkusen to United, as they're both from different leagues. However, I still think United lost not only to elite teams but also to underrated teams. The Bundesliga isn't as competitive as the Premier League. In the Bundesliga, if you can beat or draw against Bayern Munich, your chances of winning the title are very high. But I hope other teams like Dortmund or Frankfurt can challenge Munich to make the league competitive.

As many have expected, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leipzig, Stuttgart, and other underdogs should be able to make the Bundesliga title race more competitive, preventing Bayern Munich from continuing their comfortable dominance. Leverkusen was fortunate to have broken Bayern Munich dominance, and perhaps with Ten Hag, they can repeat the feat once more, the opportunity remains open.

Manchester United has no connection to Leverkusen, there's nothing to compare. Ten Hag is in a different environment. Every manager has experiences failure, they certainly learn from it, and now Ten Hag has the chance to repair his reputation. On paper, Bayern Munich is always the main favorite in the Bundesliga, but there's no guarantee they will continue to dominate the competition next season and beyond.

Re: Undoubtedly, bitcoin has gotten to all time high
by

on 13/07/2025, 15:25:25 UTC
It's amazing that Bitcoin hit an new ATH of $118k, which got everyone excited, but I wasn't surprised. Bitcoin's new all time high had been long awaited, but for various reasons, the ATH seemed hard to achiev. But then all doubts were answered in July. A little encouragement might make bitcoin hit $120k, but I think the market will need a little time before $120k is touched.

I'm looking forward to hitting $120k early new week when everyone is back to work. There are two possible outcomes, if $120k fails, the correction or sideways movement could result, meaning Bitcoin won't stabilize above $117k.

Well, the price has been hovering near $118K, which is the ATH over the last couple of days, although with bitcoin that's too early to say it has stabilized at that level. I would think it will go up next week. On weekends it is normal for there to be less buying but I think all indications are that we are at the start of the bull market for real.

Bitcoin has just hit a new all-time high of $119,376, and it's likely to reach $120,000 in the next day or two, as many have predicted. Meanwhile, many are also predicting Bitcoin will reach $130,000, with a possible correction after that. Of course, everyone holding Bitcoin is hoping for a further price rise to $130,000, and I'm optimistic that will happen soon.

The rise in Bitcoin price has also triggered a surge in the prices of other altcoins, but as usual, Bitcoin market capitalization still dominates the market, and an altcoin season doesn't appear imminent. Meanwhile, I don't think it's a good time to enter the market in this situation.

If Chelsea win  this match against PSG today I we call it luck, why because Chelsea can't withstand PSG in anyway, PSG performance is beyond doubt the team is operating in a higher frequency. But all the same less hold back and wait for the real game and leave arguments aside for now, maybe after the match we will come back for a  new section, my bet is on PSG.

We all know that Paris Saint-Germain is the best team in the world right now, and even if they lose this final, they will still be the best this season. But ust because they won the Champions League and defeated other top teams this season doesn't mean that Chelsea should be taken lightly.  I watched a few of Chelsea's highlights after a friend analyzed how they used to play when they advanced to the final, and I agreed with him that if the current Chelsea players will continue to play that way, Paris Saint-Germain will face Chelsea more difficult than we anticipated because I'm sure PSG won't have an easy victory if Chelsea can control their midfield and attack consistently rather than just defending.

Based on team statistics and performance, it's clear that PSG will win the match, this isn't to underestimate Chelsea. But if Chelsea plays well, PSG will certainly have to work hard for the victory. Whatever strategy Enzo Maresca employs, it likely won't be enough to defeat PSG, as Luis Enrique possesses a more balanced squad depth. Chelsea might heavily rely on the genius of Palmer and Enzo Fernandez to create chances, while PSG, with their individual talent, will still push for collective play.

Regardless of the possibility of an upset, I think only a small percentage believe Chelsea will bring the Club World Cup trophy home to Stamford Bridge. PSG, once again, is on the right track to make history, they have a higher chance of becoming the first team to win the Club World Cup after the format change. Overall, I think this will be a successful year for PSG, they seem destined for success in all competitions they participate in.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

I am going to go on a limb and say that Real Madrid will not win UCL this season as well. They are not going ot be as bad as last year, because they had many injuries last year which caused them to be worse, they will do better at group stages at least, and depending on who they face afterwards, I bet they can go even further, but they won't win.

Because every season, the best team in the world usually ends up winning, and that means, even if you are a lucky team with a good draw luck, facing easier opponents and go to finals, you will still lose at finals because the best team wins. Rare cases of smaller teams winning, but that's very rare. And at this moment Real Madrid is not the best team and PSG looks like the better team, even few others.

PSG are certainly strong contenders for the title next season, but few teams have ever won back-to-back Champions League titles. As for Real Madrid chances of winning the trophy next season, I think it's still difficult to predict, but one thing is certain, they have the complete set of attributes to achieve their ambitions. Xabi Alonso should have learned valuable lessons from his journey at the Club World Cup, Real Madrid still displayed significant weaknesses in defense.

If Xabi Alonso can address his defensive issues, I'm confident they will be strong contenders for the trophy, along with Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. As time goes by, Real Madrid seems to will be improving, with several players who previously had long term injuries now returning to the squad, which is good news for their fans.

Napoli, especially since they have been able to confirm Conte as manager, are still the best team together with Inter in my opinion. The real question is how Napoli are going to perform this year because they are going to play the Champions League: last year they were playing only one match per week, this year things will change, so they need more depth in the team, they need more players because Conte doesn't do a lot of rotation.
Juventus, Milan and Roma will simply fight for a Champions League spot.

Napoli is one of the most active Serie A teams in the transfer market, tehy seeking to add depth to their squad to cope with the increased workload next season. Napoli's management made a smart move by signing De Bruyne, and Napoli is currently reportedly working on several more new players. This way, Conte will have a team ready to compete in both Serie A and the Champions League next season.


The race for the Scudetto next season will certainly be tougher. Napoli will not only be competing with Inter Milan, but also Juventus, AC Milan, AS Roma, and Atalanta are likely to be in the running. Likewise, in the Champions League, Conte will face an even tougher challenge. Overall, Napoli will have to work twice as hard to cope with the increasingly congested match schedule next season.

I think there is no doubt in this verdict that the Saudi pro league is the more popular league than china. And the only reason which is very understandable is the presence of well known players from around the world. Because the Saudi pro league is playing very smartly among all the leagues. It's my personal opinion that their main goal was just to make them popular all over the world. When their popularity rises well then they will host the football world cup. Because now the saudi pro league has players which pull out the fans and viewers just by their names. So with resources the strategy to make them in use is also very important.
Right now, yes, of course Saudi Pro League is better and more popular than China's Super League. Just like 10 years ago it was the opposite. The question we should ask ourselves is where do we see the Saudi Pro League in 10 years? Saudi Arabia is going to host the 2034 World Cup, I know we are very far away but will they be able to keep interest in football even after the competition? Or is it just for advertisement and marketing? Only time will tell, it's going to be interesting to see how things will develop, that's for sure.

Saudi is making football an investment to increase state revenue. They are trying to become less dependent on oil and gas. I think that's the real goal, and it's a pretty smart move. Football has now become an industry that can generate significant long term profits, so it makes perfect sense for Saudi to invest in the sport. To achieve this goal, the Saudi government, through the Public Investment Fund (PIF), provides full financial support to at least four clubs, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al Ahli.

Therefore, in many aspects, the Saudi Pro League is indeed superior to the Chinese Super League. Saudi Arabia investment strategy has been quite successful so far, including the recruitment of players like Ronaldo and several other former top European players. Saudi successful lobbying of FIFA to host the 2034 World Cup is further proof that China hasn't gone that far. I believe the Saudi Pro League will continue to grow over the next decade, as will the Saudi national team.

Something tells me that something unexpected might happen in this match. Even though it's obvious that psg are the favorite here and Chelsea are currently not on their league in terms of their gameplay and everything I still feel like the game might have a surprising outcome. It's funny how even the Chelsea supporters are not being optimistic about Chelsea winning the game because they know that there's a high chance that they might lose.

Logically, PSG are indeed superior in every aspect, regardless of any potential upsets. In my opinion, the chances of an upset in the final match are quite low, Chelsea would need a miracle to beat PSG. Luis Enrique squad has already defeated top tier teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to reach the final, while Chelsea had an easier path. Therefore, it's very reasonable that PSG are heavily favored.

Of course, any football fan following the dynamics of the Club World Cup competition can easily conclude that PSG are more deserving of lifting the trophy, even if they are Chelsea fan base. Chelsea indeed shouldn't be underestimated, but their level of play is still below PSG. If PSG were to beat Chelsea by a narrow margin, I would consider that to be the real surprise.

Re: Nuclear weapons

this is the list

Russia 🇷🇺             5000 plus

China 🇨🇳               600 nukes
France 🇫🇷              290 nukes

India 🇮🇳                180 nukes
Pakistan 🇵🇰           170 nukes
Israel 🇮🇱                 90 nukes
North Korea 🇰🇵        50 nukes

not sure this is accurate
I am surprised that Germany, that I consider a word power is not on this list of countries that owns nukes, I consider them as one of the world's most advanced countries, also I wonder what is the criteria for only 9 countries owning nukes. Although I don't support for every country to have nuclear weapons, it will be deverstating if a country decides to unleash it on their enemy nation. So far all the countries that owns nukes are behaving well, I hope that it will remain so far the sake of innocent citizens, they can iuse it to flex muscles to their enemies but I hope that none of them will have to use theirs.

Germany lost World War II, and for this reason, they were banned from possessing nuclear weapons. It's true that Germany is one of the most advanced countries today, but for military matters, they relies on allies like the United States and the United Kingdom, and Germany is largely dependent on NATO. To date, the United States is the only country to have used nuclear weapons in war, and everyone hopes no other country will use them in the future.

I believe several other countries outside of this list are also enriching uranium, but for different purposes. No country has the authority to grant permission to develop nuclear weapons. Furthermore, countries possessing nuclear weapons have some kind of treaty when developing them. Regarding the number of nuclear weapons possessed by these nine countries, I think that is merely speculation, as their nature is secret and no country would publicize it.

I have bet on very high odds before in football matches but I have not tried it before in casino games. My experience in football about betting on very high odd is just like waste of money because I have no luck there and it is worse than going for moderate or lower odds. So I prefer to just make my analyses and bet on a stronger team that I know would win the match than to bet on odds that looks like impossible.

Betting on high odds and winning takes a lot of luck to work out especially when you are talking about odds of over a thousand. I remember betting on basketball games randomly with no analysis whatsoever, the odds accumulated to over 900+ plus, I knew my predictions were not solid so I placed the bet with 18 naira knowing the outcome would probably be negative, to my greatest surprise I ended up winning

In my opinion, betting on high odds is like handing an immediate advantage to the bookmaker, and it's essentially throwing money away. Few people have ever been lucky taking such risks, although I don't deny that it can also bring its own excitement. Gambling is fundamentally about having fun, sometimes people cast aside all analysis just to test their luck on a given day.

Nevertheless, betting on high odds might serve as a simple trick to anticipate potential upsets, and as is well known in sports betting, these happen quite often. The most important thing in gambling is not to exceed your limits, don't let your guard down, because gambling does offer an exciting thrill. In general, every gambler will essentially still choose to bet on low odds, even though the winning amount seems small.

When it comes to bitcoin anything is possible. Before it got to 100k a lot of did not believe it
One shouldn’t be surprise when bitcoin reaches such height.
Bitcoin is highly volatile and they are subject to change, let’s be keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best
We need to be patient for the long term, anything is possible in Bitcoin and if we want to achieve great success from Bitcoin, we must hold on for the long term. Bitcoin's volatility is a natural thing, but no one can accept this as normal, rather they get panicked for no reason during its volatility, the market is fast-changing so if you make a negative decision during short-term volatility, then you will have to regret it. So those of us who move forward with a long-term perspective, we should be patient, and have complete faith in Bitcoin, faith in Bitcoin is the greatest power, when you can trust Bitcoin, only then you can hold Bitcoin for the long term.

And those who have been patient for so long can now see Bitcoin break new all-time highs. In the long term, Bitcoin is certain to continue growing and will benefit anyone who adopts it. Many predicted it would take a long time to see Bitcoin reach $120K, but now, the reality is very close. Perhaps in the next few days, everyone will witness Bitcoin record an all time high.

In my opinion, in the medium term, Bitcoin will reach $150K, it's not impossible. As you said, only the patient and confident will reap the rewards, Bitcoin can lead us to financial freedom. Let's see how far it moves in the future, whether it will move sideways or continue to create new all time highs, or perhaps will experience a correction.

For now, Luis Enrique is focused on winning the Club World Cup with PSG, and his intention is not to sign players. Let's just wait till the Club World Cup tournament ends on Sunday; then we will know if Luis Enrique is interested in signing players this season. If Luis Enrique doesn't want to sign any striker, it is a good choice for him and PSG because I don't see any reason why Luis Enrique should sign a striker for PSG when all the PSG forward lineup is capable of scoring goals.
PSG are not in urgent need of new signings, if teams are in need of using the window then PSG are far behind because they currently are holding the best team performance in the world for previous season. The players in PSG are capable of doing what they did last season, after winning Champions League, most of us thought it was the end of PSG dominating competitions, but they proved themselves during the whole games played in Club World Cup, no team is really a match for them and on sunday when they will face Chelsea in the final, it will be a day for another trophy.

There's no doubt about PSG performance at the moment. They've eliminated Inter Miami, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, and they should easily beat Chelsea as well. From the round of 16 to the semifinals, PSG have scored 10 goals and conceded zero. I think these statistics are very convincing and demonstrate their unstoppable strength, including Chelsea in the final.

PSG, once often underestimated, has now transformed into arguably the best team in the world. No one dares to underestimate them anymore. Luis Enrique assured PSG fans that they will be truly happy this season, and that winning the Club World Cup would be a truly memorable end to the season. I think Chelsea will need a lot of luck to win the trophy, as PSG are clear favorites.

I was just thinking aloud this afternoon. Are we sure we are going to witness an exciting Laliga this season? Are we sure that Real Madrid will live upto the expectation? I am not confident of Real Madrid because from last season, they have proven to be so so shallow.

Forget the individual show of the players. Just remember that those white folks ended the season trophyless last season, which is unlike them. Also, just yesterday PSG proved that Real Madrid is far from returning to their good forum. I am having this feeling that Real Madrid will struggle this season.

I think it all depends on Xabi Alonso. With the depth of his squad, Xabi Alonso should be able to lead Real Madrid to meet expectations next season. If he fails, the consequences are clear, Florentino Perez will fire him midway through. The humiliating defeat in the Club World Cup will teach Xabi Alonso and all his players a valuable lesson, they must work harder and prepare better for the more competitive season ahead.

If they don't bounce back quickly, Real Madrid will certainly struggle to achieve their goal of winning La Liga and the Champions League next season. Barcelona will be their main contender in La Liga, while PSG still looks to be a very strong team in the Champions League. Therefore, Xabi Alonso must find a solution so Real Madrid can quickly return to their best form, and as Florentino Perez knows, he won't tolerate too many defeats.

I really don’t understand the logic behind this many signings Chelsea have been making, it feels like they just want to sign every good player available in the market so no other club gets them lol. How Maresca will manage a team with so many players is beyond comprehension, I hope he can manage them though.

If you look at it, it's not a bad strategy Clubs that barely update their squad start to lose And if they have enough money to buy good players, stars, among others, then they start to consolidate a good team, strong, with mobility and quality, The important thing is that they have players with enough quality to compete in matches with a lot of pressure.


Todd Boehly has a different approach than Roman Abramovich. Undeniably, Todd Boehly leadership style seems to prioritize business, especially when it comes to buying and selling players in every transfer window. However, this approach has also been quite successful. Chelsea is slowly starting to find its rhythm again, and they now have a wealth of players in their squad, which, in my opinion, makes Enzo Maresca job easier.

Of course, not every Chelsea player is world class, but Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, and Cole Palmer are among those who are. With their aggressive transfer policy, it’s likely they’ll discover more young talents who fit into Maresca system, which in the long run will give Chelsea strong squad depth. Next season, Chelsea will return to the Champions League, and with the increasingly congested match schedule, Enzo Maresca will no longer have to worry about rotation options due to the abundance of players in his squad.

PSG vs Real Madrid

PSG confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK), Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Real Madrid confirmed lineup (4-4-2): Thibaut Courtois (GK), Federico Valverde, Antonio Ruediger, Raul Asencio, Francisco Garcia, Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Gonzalo Garcia.

This is going to be a tough match or should I say it's going to be the most toughest match since the starting of this competition because both teams are in their best form especially PSG because the won the Champions League with a good performance, mbappé really have a lot to do in this game because he is playing against his formal team and it will not be okay if he didn't perform very well but let's see how the match will be.

Luis Enrique played almost the exact same starting XI as in the Champions League final, with the exception of Willian Pacho, who was suspended and replaced by Lucas Beraldo. Meanwhile, Real Madrid starting XI looked different than usual, with Xabi Alonso seemingly experimenting by playing Arda Guler and Gonzalo Garcia from the first minute. This was a match between two luxury squads, no one could deny that. So, of course, it was very difficult to predict the outcome.

On paper, PSG were the favorites as they were in top form and held the status of Champions League winners. Nevertheless, Real Madrid had all the attributes to stop them. In my opinion, this match deserved to be considered a final, and the team that emerged victorious would most likely lift the Club World Cup trophy. Besides, this match was a proving ground for both managers and players, and it would involve a lot of emotion.

The reasons why war duly affects the price of bitcoin...from my understanding it's all countries war that can affect the price of Bitcoin from view, they are some countries that will be in battle and nobody will be worried about them,for instance, if country like USA, Russia is in battle it will affect bitcoin price immensely, because most of bitcoin investors comes from USA, so that's the reason price of bitcoin will collapse when USA is affected...the fight of Israel and Iran is not affecting bitcoin strongly due to, capital investors of bitcoin are not from there..actually the price of Bitcoin fluctuate even when theirs no war, talk more their is war between Israel and Iran, what I mean is that their's every possibility that the price of that's falling is not because of the fight.

In general, war can have a direct impact on the economic strength of each country involved. Many industries and businesses close or even go bankrupt in the two countries involved, the wheels of the community's economy are stuck, the government needs a lot of energy supplies and many other things that disrupt the economy of the two countries.

The bigger impact of the war is the disruption of the global economy, higher inflation and very expensive energy supplies. Therefore, the purchasing power of the financial market decreases, including in the crypto market. The Iran vs Israel war had the most impact in my opinion, but the Russia vs Ukraine war not so much.

Different people will have different expectations for Bitcoin, some expect $250K, some expect $500K, some expect $1M, but the truth is that everything is unpredictable, the market moves at its own pace, short-term volatility is very intense, but you definitely have to think long-term. Bitcoin gains value over time, so completely abandon your panicked attitude due to short-term volatility, if you really want to achieve something good from Bitcoin. The market will never stop at one level, the future of Bitcoin is bright.
What makes the difference in all of these is the time these expectations are to come to reality. Bitcoin will definitely crush many numbers upward in this market cycle and in subsequent market cycles but we cannot know how high it will go this one and in the next one, all we can do is predict and help it happens as predicted. It is even more confused now that it is looking like Bitcoin have exhausted its energy for the upward move, now there is the temptation of doubting Bitcoin reaching $150k this year.

No, we don't need to make any predictions if we just plan to hold and accumulate all the time. The main focus is to have an accumulation budget and keep building a portfolio, but every investor also needs to do some analysis. Predictions are not that important, you don't even need to make any predictions, just focus on building a portfolio and expect good returns in the long term.

Over time bitcoin price will hit a new ATH no matter what it is. Some people are saying $200k, some maybe below, but one thing for sure if this bull trend continues throughout this year then ATH is a target that will be achieved. I am optimistic about that possibility and a big bull run is coming soon, I hope it is real.
