Re: Balancing Financial security and Bitcoin Accumulation

There are likely even guys here who have been stacking bitcoin for  several years, and who might feel that their progress is slow, yet part of the challenge is to keep stacking even during times that the BTC price is going up... and each person has to figure out how to deal with how to keep stacking and dilemmas regarding the extent to which they might hold some cash in reserves for buying on dips... dips that may or may not end up happening.
you have said right, however I agree with you more that even though one has some funds kept to buy the dips there is no guarantee that the dips will even happen, so what's best is to keep stacking up whilst hope the dips happens some day which one could grab the opportunity to buy more, having the benefit of buying in discount. Its also good to plan to buy the dips, buy lump sum but best buying gradually and consistently which is more likely to be referred to as DCA.
Investors are expecting to buy Bitcoin at dips but I think it is currently going through a period of relative dips. Most investors are sceptical about whether the dips that some investors are expecting will ever come to the market in the future. This is because the time is now more bullish and small investors are holding tight and new investors who are accumulation through discretionary income are holding to their own methods (DCA) regardless of the price. There may be some scepticism from a lump sum buying during a price rise but it should not be, if your excess floating cash is likely to be spent in different sectors, then buying Bitcoin will be an excellent decision.
Most of the people that wait for dips before investing are bitcoin traders while others are those who does not really bitcoin potentials. A bitcoin investor who understands bitcoin investment chooses an investment strategy that suits him and his income. No matter your strategy of choice, Investment with your Discretionary income is well advised if you aim at long-term holding. Discretionary income allows you to have a stress-free accumulation journey which also helps you to maximise your profit at the right time after a period of 4 to 10 years.

Re: 100 Push-Ups Per Day Until Bitcoin Is £100K Challenge

For those of us who love jogging from time to time we should be very careful whenever we do such because the injury that comes with it might keep one out for a long time especially ankle injury. While I was out this morning someone twisted his ankle and that was the end for him, he couldn't stand on his own and luckily for him some of the guys around helped him and that alone got me paused for a minute, started having this crazy imagination, what if it was me? What's the best way to avoid such injury? I don't think there's any thing to be done to stop it from happening, the pain is something else.

100[Edit]k,Sexylizzy2813,70,10990,2025-07-12
I had series of muscle pulls in the night during sleep following my yesterday's activities which started with jogging over about 3 kilometres. However, this morning I decided to suspend my weekend Sunday jogging since I'm still having slight pulls behind little above the knees. Had some squats even though it's still painful but I had to engage in it to see if I relax the pain I feel.

Sometimes staying away from your regular exercise leads to weakness and leads to pain in any attempt to go back to it.

100[Edit]k,Tonimez,219,27520,2025-07-13

Something I have learnt about muscle pull is that whenever you go on any of these exercises that affects the muscles is best to massage the particular place that you feel pain or if possible you rub every part that you have muscles, rob it flex it a little so that it won't be stiff and when we over stress the muscles it leads to this very muscle pull.
Should in case it holds you at night just relax and hit on that particular place to make it soft after some time you start massaging it gently, before you know it you'll feel no pain. If is the first time for some persons they'll scream the roof down and start panicking but if you do what I said above you'd be ok.

100k,Sexylizzy2813,71,11240,2025-07-13
I took my time to check through texts on how to handle this problem of Muscle pulls which has consistently given me slight pains intermittently since yesterday. Below is some possible steps as listed  Here

To effectively manage a muscle pull (muscle strain), it's crucial to prioritize rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) initially. This approach helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or NSAIDs can also be helpful, unless advised otherwise by a doctor. Gentle stretching and physical therapy can aid in regaining strength and flexibility during recovery.
Detailed Management Steps:
1. Rest:
Avoid activities that cause pain or strain the injured muscle. Rest is crucial in the initial phase of healing to prevent further damage.
2. Ice:
Apply ice packs (wrapped in a cloth) for 15-20 minutes every couple of hours during the first 48 hours. Ice helps reduce inflammation and pain.
3. Compression:
Use a compression bandage to help minimize swelling. Wrap it firmly but not too tightly, ensuring it doesn't restrict blood flow.
4. Elevation:
Elevate the injured area above the level of your heart to reduce swelling, especially at night.
5. Pain Relief:
Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) can help manage pain and inflammation.
6. Gentle Stretching:
After the initial acute phase (usually a few days), introduce gentle stretching to improve flexibility and range of motion.
7. Strengthening Exercises:
Gradually introduce strengthening exercises to rebuild muscle strength and stability. A physical therapist can guide you through these exercises.
8. When to Seek Medical Advice:
If the pain is severe, if you experience numbness or tingling, or if you can't walk or lift your arm, seek medical attention immediately. Also, consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen despite home treatment.

I'm definitely going to rest all day today as I've already started.

It is only traders or those that lacks knowledge about Bitcoin and it potential that will not take notice that Bitcoin is on the rise, that's why buying and accumulating Bitcoin now that it's very cheap is the ideal way to go about your Bitcoin investment plan, some Investors might think that $118k is too expensive, but that was how it seems like when it was just $100k, now $100k looks like a big bargain, so buying now regardless of it current price is the best decision an investor will ever make because in like 10 to 20 years time from now, getting Bitcoin at $500k might looks like a big steal if care is not taken, so it's best to act now that it's still pretty cheap.
With the rate bitcoin is moving by day, it is possible that $500k could be a sort after dip in the next 10 to 20 years to come. If only investors can understand that bitcoin has come to stay and do things right. This period would definitely be the traders time since price hike is often. There's greater chances of buying costlier after selling off your bitcoin stash. So why not maintain the buy buy stage. This is not the right time to sell even if you've invested at $73k previous dip. That does not also make you stay off from accumulating bitcoin this period since the price is still closely moderate and low in all.
[Edited out]
For those who have been familiar with or studying Bitcoin for a long time, I don't think panic selling will lead to losses. In fact, holding Bitcoin for a long period of time will yield significant profits. I think everyone knows this, but if someone sells their Bitcoin holdings early, it could be for other, more personal reasons.

Bitcoin is currently at its peak. Just a few days ago, we saw its latest all-time high. However, that doesn't mean we should stop buying. Instead, consider the possibility that this will continue in the future, creating a strong incentive to continue buying Bitcoin to avoid regrets when the same thing happens again.
How do you mean that Panic selling does not lead to losses if you have been studying bitcoin for a long time?? Panic selling is unplanned and happens when fear sets in. Panic selling could land you in great losses if you wish to remain in the bitcoin investment then after. Bitcoin is still maintaining the spot above $117k for over 48 hours now. A panic seller who bought bitcoin at $105k would sell off his bitcoin this time maybe after watching it slack to $117k from $118k. At this point, he's wondering if he should gamble it to know if bitcoin touches the $120k or if this could be a road to Market correction which they wouldn't like to risk. Now, after selling their bitcoin stash, they start wishing that bitcoin falls below $100k to please their selfish interest. If this does not happen, as bitcoin does not depend on anybody's wish to set its price; they either stay off bitcoin investment pending when their requirements would be met or they end up buying at a loss.

Losses by panic sellers does not necessarily mean selling below their accumulation price, but selling below their next possible buys which immediately gives them lower amounts of bitcoin with same amount they have sold.

As for bitcoin being at its peak, that's not true. Bitcoin still has a long way to go and that should be the drive. Awareness is increasing and more investors are getting interested in bitcoin.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

on 13/07/2025, 07:57:11 UTC
I dont disagree that discretionary income is the starting point for an investor who is planning to have the most suitable accumulation plan. Most people get it wrong when it comes to accumulating. Its not really about wanting to buy bitcoin its all about being able to buy with the money we earn monthly or whichever way. No excuse to anyone who dont want to start accumulating especially if they are members of the forum. I have read from some members how they managed to stack $10/weekly into their portfolio, and they have been doing it for a very long time now. Yet, there are many loudmouths who will only start discussing about the price and how they wished they bought only when the price started to going up.

The truth is, whether we are rich or poor, most persons are not being honest with themselves on what should come first in their life. I call it misplaced priorities. They lament they cant buy bitcoin but yet they can afford drinks, netlfix, mariujuana and yeah, I am not about what they do with their discretionary income. All am concerned about is that, if they are sincere they want to hold bitcoin they need to know what comes first.
Regardless of what the options are they all refer to the same thing where we have to work or start something to earn money not so it doesn't really matter whether we should say this is from discretionary income or collection from each month it all refers to the same thing.

Actually things like this do not need to be debated because after all the goal remains the same, this is the same as debating when we buy through DCA, Buy dip or lump sum which actually leads to the same goal but is always debated which method is the best even though in this condition it is just a kind of strategy because the goal remains the same to buy for long-term bitcoin.

All have their own strategies and methods regardless of whether we make discretionary income or look for other things such as additional income or other things because it depends on our own conditions and readiness. The most important thing is how we can make our plans actually happen because debating something that is actually the same goal for me will only make it seem as if we are right and others are wrong or vice versa even though we and others are on the same path it's just a different way.
I don't have to dwell in this but some of us would understand why we don't just have to focus on bitcoin investment and forget about the strategy we choose to use. Yeah, anyone can choose to invest by DCA or by lump-sum but it's holding potential really differs and is based on the strategy to a large extent. Sometimes people who invest by lump-sum are either mostly traders or find it difficult hold same amount of bitcoin for long without selling part or all of the bitcoin stash for one reason or the other.

It is always very necessary when considering your investment strategy for the sake of your success in bitcoin investment. If the strategy is not very relevant, maybe there would not be much emphasis on long-term holding. The success of every bitcoin investor begins with your investment choice pattern. Someone who all because you want to invest large, invest beyond what they can be able to hold which hampers the success of the whole process.
~~~
If you invest in Bitcoin the right way then you won't get smite by the sword, there's always profits for those who invest on it the right way, I mean buying and holding for long-term so anyone who complains about lose are those traders that want it the quick and easy way which normally leads to their doom. Well we can't talk about the history of Bitcoin without involving the past but instead of dwelling in it and wishing you had the opportunity to invest then, it best you learn from it, atleast there's still hope that the numbers would keep getting better in the future and since Bitcoin is still at the early stage the best time to start investing if one haven't started is now, there's no need to envy those who invested in 2015 cause some where not wise enough to hold, most sold and are even regretting.
There is no massacre as long as investors are able to invest properly which can minimize the risk of loss. To get out of the dark tunnel, investors must have knowledge about investing and conduct in-depth research before making investment decisions. However, it should be emphasized that every investment has risks and there is no guarantee of always making a profit. Prevention can be done by understanding how to invest properly.
Investors must have an effective risk management strategy such as diversifying their portfolio to help increase potential profits. There is always hope for anyone who wants to learn, investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme, you need to be careful and do in-depth research before making investment decisions so you can reap the desired success.

Bitcoin is not actually a get-rich-soon event but that doesn't make it out of place to invest diligently in it because it's a store of value. Diversifying your portfolio is also good but you should try not to do it wrongly by either choosing a shitcoins as your diversified asset. Shitcoins will remain shitcoins and never an asset because it mostly do not stand the test of time. Diversifying into shitcoins could lead you into losses. If you have to invest in crypto market, that you should concentrate more on bitcoin and if you must taste shitcoins, it should be done with the least possible funds while concentrating on bitcoin. Real estate could also be a good alternative if you have to diversify.
[Edited out]
When we talk about DCA, this strategy doesn't care about price at all, as it's closely related to consistent buying for greater regularity. Therefore, this strategy has nothing to do with buying Bitcoin when the price drops, as those who practice DCA will remain consistent even when the price rises. Those who practice DCA prioritize consistent buying and don't want to miss any potential opportunities. Therefore, in my opinion, DCA has nothing to do with waiting for the Bitcoin price to drop before buying.

As for senior Bitcoin investors who wait for the price to drop to make purchases, I think it's perfectly reasonable for them to do so. Their Bitcoin portfolios are already quite substantial and may have already reached their Bitcoin accumulation targets. Therefore, with this in mind, DIP is not a problem for them, as their Bitcoin portfolios are already quite substantial. However, for beginners or investors with small Bitcoin portfolios, I personally strongly discourage waiting for a price drop to buy Bitcoin.
This is the point that DCA strategy gives you the platform to be consistent without minding the price of bitcoin. This still remains the best beginners approach. This approach removes the reluctance from watching the chart that comes when you plan to invest by lump-sum. Even though it may not be wholesome, but lump-sum investors aim at dips which also slows their investments pace while waiting for dips.

For some people who their DCA allocation are large enough as others lump-sum funds, it gives room for less stress as you invest after taking care of your responsibilities. Also, those that buy by lump-sum hardly hold during serious market corrections and somehow feel tensed which invariably reduce them to traders.

Housing is a fundamental human right. Every person wants to fulfill his basic needs before investing. When a person has a reasonable income after fulfilling his basic needs, he invests it.
If he does not do so, he invests from the funds he has to fulfill his basic needs, then most of the time he cannot maintain his investment portfolio.
Depositing Bitcoin for a house can definitely be a sign of a good investor because he can lose the invested Bitcoins very quickly before reaching the desired goal due to his housing.
I don’t understand how you would say this,(the bolded words)  in one sentence you’re contradicting yourself is it that you don’t understand what you’re saying or what ?
I don’t know about others but most of the time I find it hard understanding what you’re saying or trying to say.
And some of the terms you use!…, I don’t know if there’s anything as discretionary law or mind….. someone please inform me what it is?

If he is suggesting that there are some difficulties to invest in bitcoin when a person might also be wanting to purchase his residential real estate, so there could be difficulties doing both or even choosing bitcoin over residential property.

Of course, bitcoin has outperformed real estate in the past, and there is no reason to believe that bitcoin is not going to continue to outperform real estate, even though people will still get distracted into wanting to own real estate, and maybe jumping into property too soon rather than buying bitcoin since maybe they don't have enough money to invest in both, even though bitcoin surely does not require as much of a commitment and so bitcoin can be invested into in smaller amounts, as compared with the kinds of obligations and costs that come from owning real estate that might include financing it (perhaps even requiring a large downpayment), closing costs, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs..
On the contrary I think he was actually trying to encourage getting a personal residence before investing in bitcoin as (according to him) residential home is a basic need (which is also not wrong). But saving up funds for your real estate is not a very easy one that you can wake up and gather enough funds to raise a structure of buy a dream home. So is this not an indication that you invest in bitcoin before buying or building a residential home? A person who got employed newly could require nearly 10 years to save up an amount to give him a dream home (depending on the job and pay).

If someone targets 10 years from his employment date to have a dream home, it's wiser to invest in bitcoin over at least 2 bitcoin cycles before the 10 years plan possibly by DCA which could eventually open you up to saving enough money and making gains on such funds to assist you in acquiring your home. Residential home is a necessity and a basic human needs but it's not also what anyone can rush into or easily raise the funds enough to get one.

Your self pulse is so independent and self motivated. Always keeping your pushups at your own pace. Can you  share the stairs thread link once again. I hardly locate it when this pushup thread goes far from your previous post, @Dirtykeyboard.

Stairs climbing seems safer and a possible alternative to jogging with almost equal effect as jogging.
[edited out]
Age also do really count though but of we can still pull those energetic muscles to the work can be so precious.
I guess what was what ignited Sexylizzy2813 with the concern of your age because you are really aiding fabulously with how you keep up the pushups. Truly only a passionate would still keep going after the first target at $100,000. Some will also lost keep records or the exercise but yet keep pushing. The most remarkable at it peak is that you made it to $100,000

Unlike the bitcoin price, pushups have their limitations and they cannot really grow exponentially, so if you think about it, the when the bitcoin price was merely around $40k at the start of this challenge, a 1% change in the BTC price would have had been $400.

These days a 1% change in the BTC price is nearly $1,200... .. so it can be difficult for people to keep up with the BTC price's ability to keep growing, and even if I get to 200k pushups or even 500k pushups after 6  more years, it seems to me that at some point the BTC price is going to catch up to me , pass me and I won't be able to catch up to it, again.

On the other hand, it seems that if guys are getting their pushups to the 200-WMA or to above the 200-WMA (which is currently just below $50k), and if they are doing more than 100 pushups per day, then it seems that at some point if they keep doing pushups, that their quantity of pushups will end up touching and/or exceeding the BTC spot price, even if ONLY for a short period of time during a heavy BTC correction period.  So far there are ONLY 5 participants in this pushup challenge who have pushups exceeding the 200-WMA.

Edit... Adding report.  100[Edit]k,JayJuanGee,524,117970,2025-07-12

You have been closely same pace with bitcoin since crossing your $90k pushups and even though bitcoin goes higher, there are still possibilities that market corrections would always bring it to your sport and some other times far below your pushups number. I have no idea how much bitcoin could be when you get to your 500k pushups but I feel that I. Six years time, you could still touch the price too. However human age and other factors may have trickled in.

Similar to stacking sats, it tends to take a long time to stack pushups, and perhaps even more challenging to stack pushups as compared  with stacking sats.. even though even in the sat stacking department, it is taking more and more dollars to stack similar quantities of BTC, so those who have been persistently stacking sats for a whole cycle or more are likely to feel quite good about the quantity of sats that they have stacked, and even starting to rest assured that people of their own similar economic status are likely not going to even come close to being abel to stack as many sats as they have been able to stack ver the last bitcoin cycle or perhaps even longer.. as the clock continues to tick and many folks (especially previously poor people) might really feel that they need to continue to persistently stack for at least a couple of bitcoin cycles.
Stacking up bitcoin is supposed to be an active-life-long (Period of one's Activeness or possibly working days) process and same as pushups. This is because barely after retirement, one also becomes too weak to also be engaging in regular daily pushups even among professional body builders. So I believe that someone who's diligent in his daily Pushups and would also almost be diligent in his bitcoin accumulation process, however this does not also imply patience and bitcoin holding potential.

Bitcoin is moving too fast and everyone also has to follow up to avoid being left behind.

Your pushups report is very confusing. How would you achieve 9 pushups in 50 days?? I think you should revisit and study how to make your report as directed from the Inception of this thread by @OgNasty which directs everyone on the right way to make their report.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5484350.msg63625275#msg63625275

This will help you to correct your report. Maybe you are in your 9th day of Pushups with a total of 50 pushups. You're welcome and I will encourage you not to give up on this exercise. Sometimes being a beginner is so difficult due to pains and reluctance which you can experience most times.

perhaps meeting the market value at this point $118 is not supposed to be considered as late entry, if you consider this as late entry how much more those that may likely meet the price at $200k.......they won't see it as a late entry while those early investors that meet the price at a starting point would see it as a late entry, but one thing for sure is, they're going to learn there lessons so that when next they're given such opportunity they won't let it slide but to utilize it in that initial time.
First off is their anything like late entry in Bitcoin investment, I think the answer is no, yea people might have made the mistake of not investing in Bitcoin when they are supposed to buy that doesn't stop them from investing anytime what matters now is their ability not to keep waiting and wondering about, even though Bitcoin price touches down to $200k as you said those that couldn't by then may still want to buy because they now understand better that what they are actually looking at is not the immediate price rather it is the future that matters, at any point in time, anyone can actually invest, if those that couldn't invest at a low price keep giving themselves excuses, them just know that they weren't actually ready to invest but as for someone that has learnt his or her lesson I think there's nothing anyone will tell him to deter him from investing in Bitcoin even when the price is high.
There is no such thing as a late entry into bitcoin, whichever time that we’ve a discretionary income we can always buy bitcoin and accumulate bitcoin, which ever time that you now realize and you feel comfortable of starting your investment, now is always the right time not considering what the price of bitcoin is because whichever price that bitcoin gets to 150k or higher there is always an opportunity to invest and keep accumulating bitcoin instead of waiting for a dip, and it’s wise that we should always invest in bitcoin using a discretionary income, which can help us to manage and sustain our investments, perhaps those that think that because the price of bitcoin is high, well you don’t have to worry about the price because you can always invest and accumulate with DCA method and be accumulating little by little instead of waiting for an unpredictable bitcoin dip.
Bitcoin is a store of value and has been proven already. There's never a better tomorrow in bitcoin investment. You may not invest today in bitcoin but let it not be because you are hoping that bitcoin price would eventually drop at any of your expected period. If anyone is still waiting for dips  before he buys, remember that some people waited for bitcoin to fall to $70k after crossing the $100k swiftly which never happened. Here we are at near $120k. I think bitcoin investment will become more fun to invest in when investors begin to realise that bitcoin is almost a no lost long term investment practice.

I cannot remember.  I probably said something about my having reached a year.
But it would be nice to know when is your birthday and probably how old you are if you haven't said it, because with the way you go about business in pushing up and other exercises us really amazing...but are you up to 50🤔?
10[edit]0k,Sexylizzy2813,69,10790,2025-07-11

I was referring to my number of days doing pushups, and I don't tend to say too much about my personal specifics, even though from time to time, I might say something in one direction or another and other times, I speak in terms of hypothetical or even examples that might be more about a fantasy self rather than a real self.

Of course doing pushups will sometimes bring out some of the personal information, in the context of discussing matters, yet I am not going to necessarily agree that everything is factually based..

Regarding price.  It surely is interesting that the price went above my total pushups, so hopefully the price gets above my total pushups and stays there.. We have been having this issue since early February, which was the first time that my total quantity of pushups (then in the mid 90ks) started to cross above the bitcoin price, whether we are referring to the low of the day or maybe if we are referring to the trade-weighted average for the day.  I am glad to see the  price is back in the neighborhood, even though I am continuing to mostly do more than 100 pushups per day..

Since the 200-WMA is still just under $50k, and it is only moving up around $50 per day, it is way more likely that the price will go back below my total quantity of pushups as compared with the 200-WMA, which may well not even be able to get above $100k by the end of 2026.
I also understand that with your years of experience in bitcoin investment, your dedication in pushups and your various everyday activities and emphasis on this forum, I can vividly but no evidently state that you are way above that figure @Sexylizzy2813 is mentioning. Even though I do know that personal data and achievements are not for public consumption but whoever is keen and analytical would effortlessly achieve infer someone else's near truths.

About bitcoin surpassing your total number of pushups, sometime last month when your push-up number was above the bitcoin price,  a new ATH was already possible if bitcoin must surpass your pushups number. I know your age and health must have a hand in your reducing your daily pushups to far below what it used to be prior to your achieving 100k pushups. If you have kept that pace, nothing could possibly make bitcoin surpass your pushups number anywhere below 180k.

Bitcoin investors are happy this period and even at that, bitcoin price still has more suprises for diligent investors.

Bitcoin is waxing stronger. Everyday comes with a new magic. Waking up this time to bitcoin at $118k is mind blowing. At this point, whoever still doubts continuous bitcoin accumulation no matter the price is definitely not ready to change his life in the crypto world. Any ATH is becoming a daily routine. Imagine someone who has been waiting to buy at dip, how long does he have to wait? The earlier anyone starts investing the better.

Even at this price, some would still see it as too high until a new ATH will also surface. Bitcoin is a store of value and it proves itself daily. Congratulations to every diligent bitcoin investor.
As a holder, this new ATH of Bitcoin is great to see. This joy is only for those who have been patiently holding Bitcoin for a long time and have held it even during the ups and downs. It is not for those who have just come and invested something and then sold it and got out. Investing in Bitcoin is risky.
Yeah sure, bitcoin gain only goes to those that are patient and diligent in their bitcoin accumulation process without compromise. Most bitcoin investors stopped investing while waiting for dip after bitcoin crossed the $109k ATH due to fear and panic about bitcoin next behaviour. Practically by charts and/or literatures, no one could rightly determine the exact direction bitcoin would go next. This is the beauty of it all as volatility has never been studied to perfectly well.

Saying that bitcoin is risky investment, I don't know what your intentions were, what really do you understand about bitcoin that created that believe that bitcoin is risky to invest in? This makes me feel you are but a bitcoin trader and not an investor. Bitcoin is not as risky as to be boldly elaborated here. Anyone who reads about bitcoin Volatility will always understand that bitcoin would definitely rise after fall.
Quote
It has now become a lexical language, but those who come to invest in Bitcoin in the hope of profit after seeing the Bullish market are actually impatient and for this reason when the price of Bitcoin goes to the dip again, they get disappointed and sell it and tell stories of disappointment to others. Again, there is a class who praise Bitcoin a lot and they say that they are waiting for a good time to buy Bitcoin but they actually do not find the time because they think that when the price of Bitcoin goes to a lot of dips, they will buy it but when the price suddenly starts going to the dip, panic starts growing inside them - if they invest here again and fall into loss, then they do not invest in Bitcoin anymore.  So for those who have not yet invested in Bitcoin, I will say that no matter what the price is, if they keep buying Bitcoin little by little, then at some point these small investments will turn into a big asset. Those who understand cryptocurrency and want to invest here but have not yet invested due to the volatility of Bitcoin, should not wait any longer, gain good knowledge and patiently invest in Bitcoin little by little because even in this digital age, those who still do not buy Bitcoin will have no limit to their regret when its price reaches one million.
Bitcoin is not to be traded. Bitcoin Traders have various experiences that are very discouraging due to the mindset of seeing bitcoin as a get rich quick scheme. Same way they sell off their bitcoin stash, in every little price rise. Some traders that bought at $99k all sold at $105-109k hoping to buy back at dip, supposedly at $85-90k which they have never had the opportunity to buy back only to wake up to $118k bitcoin price today. If only Investors can avoid the traders way of doing things, then there will be no reason to loose any assets to bitcoin.

Bitcoin may also dip beyond anyone's imagination, but the principle of volatility has assured us that it would bounce back. Infact, real bitcoin investors are determined at the decline stage of every bitcoin cycle or market correction periods. At this period, traders sell off their bitcoin stash out of panic.
[Edited out]

This is a surprise for diligent Bitcoin holders and buyers, but on the other hand, there are so many who regret having waited and let go of Bitcoin too soon. Because recently, there has been more new interest in Bitcoin, the influx of funds to buy Bitcoin has also increased, resulting in a surprising increase in Bitcoin's price in the market. I also still recommend continuing to buy because Bitcoin will continue to make more surprises if the Fed's interest rates do not increase again and the presence of new companies investing in Bitcoin can also trigger a continuous price increase effect this year.
Bitcoin has a way of disappointing those who believe they study the charts and know when they should sell off their bitcoin not minding how premature it is. Holding a. Little longer is always the option. Going further to accumulate more always is also good. Maintaining your DCA approach diligently is also the easiest way to enjoy every moment of bitcoin suprises at all time. So if you still wait for dips, just know it that bitcoin is no longer a coin to be toiled with or gambled with. You may make a gain today, but you may buy back at a higher cost and still run a loss.

Bitcoin's price has been increasing since its inception. I can learn from past history that Bitcoin is an asset that does not need to wait for its price to decrease. As the population in the world is increasing, the price of land is increasing. Because people need land to settle. And that is why the price of land will never decrease. Although it is sometimes seen that the price of Bitcoin has decreased, but if you compare it from 2009 to the present time, has the price of Bitcoin actually decreased? Everyone will say no, 2009-10-11-12 Bitcoin was very low at that time, but gradually Bitcoin has become very valuable now. If the price of Bitcoin continues to increase in this way, then reaching one million in 2050 is not a matter. People are becoming aware and are investing in Bitcoin. So say buy buy, not sell sell.

People who realize this will certainly buy more without thinking about the price increase, because selling when others are eager to buy is the wrong move for Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin can't be compared to any other asset in the world, it needs to be discussed separately if you want to recommend it to others, or to people who want to buy Bitcoin and become long-term investors by holding it. Today is the day Bitcoin unexpectedly hit its all-time high again, surprising some people when they saw the rapid rise in the price.

So, there's no reason to let go of Bitcoin after everyone saw the price increase today, because regret always comes at the end, or after letting go of Bitcoin but not buying again because they preferred to see the price decline. We've all seen from previous facts that holding Bitcoin for the long term will be more profitable than letting go after buying at a low price.
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.

I've finally reached over 1k push-ups. This is a milestone for me. Smiley
Congratulations friend, you have added more than 1000 push ups, but you don't have to stay at this milestone, you have to create new milestones like Bitcoin is creating new milestones. I am very happy with Bitcoin's new milestone today because Bitcoin has exceeded $116.5k.

Today I did 10 more push-ups than my daily push-ups in the push-up competition because Bitcoin created new ATH today.Today I completed a total of 60 push-ups in four sets and then completed another 10 push-ups. My total number of push-ups today is 70.

100[Edit]k, 2Pizza410000BTC,63, 4950
Bitcoin continues to do exploits everyday. Waking up to see bitcoin at $118k today is a good success to all of us. Bitcoin has paved the way to every bitcoin investor. It is one thing to invest in a given asset and it is also another thing to see the asset pushing higher. Every Pushups exercises count and it is evident in the way bitcoin is rising on a daily. Out of excitement I hit 8 sets of 20 pushups this morning under this rainy chilling weather.

Bitcoin is waxing stronger. Everyday comes with a new magic. Waking up this time to bitcoin at $118k is mind blowing. At this point, whoever still doubts continuous bitcoin accumulation no matter the price is definitely not ready to change his life in the crypto world. Any ATH is becoming a daily routine. Imagine someone who has been waiting to buy at dip, how long does he have to wait? The earlier anyone starts investing the better.

Even at this price, some would still see it as too high until a new ATH will also surface. Bitcoin is a store of value and it proves itself daily. Congratulations to every diligent bitcoin investor.

I’m glad to be back here again, I was off for a couple of weeks due to health challenge. Now back to my push up challenge. I wasn’t so easy getting back after few weeks off. I’m glad I was able to go a little today, and as the day goes by, I’ll keep up with it because I love this challenge

100[Edit]k,regardme,20,7,2025-07-10

It is good to have you join this pushup challenge by this time and I'm sorry for your ill health. If you have are participating in pushup exercise, you have to prioritize your food options. Eating enough protein meals would be very helpful and also taking enough water always. It is good that you have started small, try to improve your pushups with time and also ensure you don't push beyond your limits.

I think you have either reported wrongly or incompletely. In your report, the 20 after your username signifies the number of days you've been in the Push-up exercise. If you actually intend to write that this is your 20th day in Pushups, then you may need to look into your total number of pushups done which you indicated as 7.

Bitcoin is a lifetime opportunity. Those who are waiting or still have doubts today about whether to hold Bitcoin or not will realize that they have missed an opportunity of a lifetime. Not only to make money, but also to be at the forefront of a decentralized economic structure. The price of Bitcoin will increase or decrease in the market, which is the case with any investment. However, in weak hands, they will lose these things. If we take less, how safe is it really? If we look at small, medium and experienced investors, we will see that they have made small investments and got real value at the right time.

Yeah, Bitcoin really is a generational opportunity like you said, not just for profit, but for being part of something bigger than the current system.

 But like Jayjuangee said, it is not over for those who are just waking up to it now, there’re still opportunities to catch up with..

Yes, the early movers maybe big in it already.. But I believe the key is to stop waiting for the so call perfect time. The important thing is starting.
Waiting for a right time is not an option. Sometimes when I see people complain about bitcoin price hike and how they're waiting for dips to reinvest in bitcoin I almost wonder how they intend to do that. Come to think of it, some, bitcoin came into existence 16 years ago and I can bet that some people who were not born then now invest in bitcoin. Likewise years to come, some unborn investors are still hoping to join bitcoin and what would they have to do with the past dips? What matters now is starting. The earlier the better because the price you buy today may never resurface anytime soon.

Another factor I believe causes delays in bitcoin investment by waiting for dips is lump-sum investment strategy. People who invest by lump-sum are more prone to waiting for dips before investing. This is why I personally prefer and encourage investment by DCA. DCA approach allows you invest minimally and bearably without stress. Also, DCA approach allows you to ignore the bitcoin price while focusing more on injecting your fiat DCA allocation into bitcoin. Here, the emphasis is on your DCA allocation (percentage of your Discretionary income for investment) and not the bitcoin market price (checking the amount of bitcoin a given lump-sum could acquire).

Dips are good for additional buys in the event of any unannounced income or extra rights for aggressive buys. Newbies have to learn rightly  before thinking of aggressive buys.

I wouldn't consider it a mistake for newbies because even after buying without emergency funds set ups you can still set that up after having at least little to your portfolio while putting yourself to order, in my opinion some of this newbies that does this are opportunity grabbers which is even better than those who wait for the perfect timing which might not come, so I prefer they buy this bitcoin being imperfect and learn about things as time goes by than try to be all perfect set up all types of funds before ever getting to buy the real deal, bitcoin usually serve us opportunities like the little dips which a newbie could see and grab yet learn the who processes as time permits.

I think the summary of what I have understood so far is that the approach some newbies should really take is to emphasise the importance of taking healthy mindset actions and learning from others experiences and also learning to adapt to the market, rather than waiting for ideal conditions. The part you made mention of can still set up emergency funds after investing. I would say even if they don't have everything perfect from the start, in my own little understanding, they can still adjust, and then improvement takes place, plus improving their strategy changes over time.
Before you use fine English to confuse newbies, they need not complicate the Bitcoin investment process and should be able to work out a simple approach that will make it mechanical so that they do it with minimal effort and without much hassles. One of the test approach that is recommended for new investors is the DCA method which is the method of investing with lower amount of money on a regular interval like monthly or weekly. This method is great in that it allows the investor to buy with any amount they can afford and encourages them to make effort to sustain the investment process in a disciplined fashion.

However, it must be clearly stated that investment in Bitcoin must only be made from part of the discretionary income of the investor. The discretionary income, which is usually separated from the money for basic needs, should be properly allocated so that apart from the investment amount, emergency funds must also be kept in place to take care of unplanned things that can occur while the investment is in place. This measures will make even new investors to succeed in Bitcoin as thought they are pro in that area.
The extent of emphasis that has been laid on bitcoin DCA investment approach by discretionary income has been on the good side. Even so far, people still haven't understood the real meaning of discretionary income and how to channel it properly. I have read many posts of newbies insisting on investing all their discretionary income and I know it's because maybe they don't have clear understanding of where discretionary income starts.

Discretionary income is the fund left after basic human responsibilities for the period between paydays excluding emergency funds, backup funds and investment funds. This automatically lists the basic components of discretionary income or better put, how discretionary income is to be allocated. These three events are separated by percentage. Out of the discretionary income comes the emergency funds and back up funds while the last percentage is then channelled into bitcoin investment especially at the early days when an investor has little or no emergency funds and back up funds.

A newbie must understand that aside basic responsibilities, emergency situations may arise and when it arises, the absence of emergency funds would mean that your bitcoin stash would be endangered. So the idea of investing all your discretionary income should be erased among newbies who aim at holding for a long time.  Someone might want to invest aggressively, this is good as long as it doesn't affect your emergency funds and back up funds. You also have to understand that your basic responsibilities are paramount and should be handled.

Finally, a newbie should avoid greed or temptation due to dips and concentrate more on his DCA approach and plan for a long-term holding of at least 4 to 10 years time.

Bitcoin has gone past this before now. It is good that bitcoin has been nearly resistant this period and that's very encouraging among the bitcoin investors. There are various indicators that bitcoin would break the ATH sooner and I presume it would cross the $115k real soon. For now, keep buying because that's all that matters now.

BITCOIN CYCLES: MEANING AND IMPLICATIONS
by
Tonimez
on 09/07/2025, 19:41:19 UTC
I have wandered a lot on this forum seeking to find a thread where proper description would be given to the subject matter, Bitcoin Cycles" and I have not really gotten to know it's proper meaning and implications. The quest for knowledge took me into sorting for knowledge even though I got some few points I still wish to ask for more insight into the subject matter.

However(just but a part of what I saw), "The Bitcoin market cycle refers to the recurring pattern of price behaviour in the Bitcoin market, characterised by alternating periods of appreciation and depreciation. This cycle is a result of market participants' perceptions and actions, such as buying and selling, and is influenced by a variety of factors, including market sentiment, regulatory changes, technological developments and the wider economy". This occurs within a 4 year period to possibly complete a cycle.

There are 4 phases that completes a bitcoin market cycle;

Phase 1 – Accumulation
Occurs when prices are (relatively) low, but small signs of growth appear. During this phase, forward-thinking buyers will accumulate cheaper Bitcoin and so it represents the point of maximal financial opportunity.

Typically, there is bearish sentiment in the market so volume is low and prices are fluctuating in a tight range, near the bottom.

Phase 2 – Growth
The price continues moving towards the all time high. Halving events in the past have occurred here, coinciding with shrinking exchange reserves as buyers hoover up supply as they look to capture rising prices in anticipation of new all-time highs.

Phase 3 – Bubble
When the price eclipses the previous all-time high, price action will start to move exponentially to the upside pushing the price to a new all-time high, which exceeds the previous landmark by an appreciable difference. This phase is extremely volatile, with rapid price increases followed by large corrections.

Sell volume builds as a portion of investors lock in healthy profits, while many market participants will continue buying believing the bull market has more room to run. As a result, price volatility is low given the buy and sell volumes begin to balance against a backdrop of overconfidence. At this point, many investors would see the Fear & Greed Index flashing Extreme Greed.

Phase 4 – Crash
Following the euphoria of the bubble phase, this is when the market will see a major correction to the downside. Previous bear market periods have resulted in approximately 80% drawdowns from the top and negative price action for approximately a year. The most recent example saw the price tumble from an all-time high of $69,000 (November 2021) to $15,476 (November 2022). Source

Understanding the bitcoin cycle would be very beneficial when it comes to proper handling of bitcoin for long-term purposes.

A more practical experience-based contribution would be much welcomed.

Re: Identifying Bitcoin Address By Format
by
Tonimez
on 09/07/2025, 17:25:14 UTC
We don't hear it common but over and over there has been transfer gone wrong when sending Bitcoin to address, either to a wrong address or to a wrong network. Identifying address by format eradicate such mistakes because it helps decide what type of wallet or transaction is in use before sending.

Address Format|Identify By Prefix|
Legacy (P2PKH)|Begins with "1" - Bitcoin core and old Bitcoin mobile wallets|
P2SH|Begins with "3" Still part of segwit but older version|
Native Segwit (Bech32)|Begins with "bc1q" - modern and updated version of segwit|
Taproot Segwit (Bech32m)|Begins with "bc1p" -  wallets like BlueWallet, Electrum and Sparrow wallet use taproot etc...|
Lightning Invoice|Begins with "lnbc1" - lnbc1 for Bitcoin, lntb for testnet|


Fees Comparison
Address Format|Fee Levels|
Legacy (P2PKH)|Highest Fees|
P2SH|Medium - Better than Legacy|
Native Segwit|Lowest|
Taproot Segwit|Low - Better than P2SH (Simple tx X Complex tx )|
Lightning Invoice|Zero or little|

Identifying any address can be done simply by knowing each prefix, another similar method is length of address but that may not be efficient as two address can have very close characters, example of P2SH and Legacy having close or similar characters.
This is very educating and I can say that this thread is definitely coming at the right time and also very novel. These are the kinds of threads I long after where I learn things that really matter in the crypto market. With this knowledge, someone can be assured that he can be able to avoid scams or any misplaced or mistaken bitcoin transfer as there has not been any known system for getting back bitcoin transferred to wrong addresses. With the prefixes attached, one can be sure of where exactly he's transferring his bitcoin to.
Begins with "bc1p" -  wallets like BlueWallet, Electrum and Sparrow wallet use taproot etc...
This is actually the most updated version of SEGWIT addresses. Infact it's actually the most recent and they fixed some really technical stuff but it's efficiency is almost equal to that of bc1q prefixed addresses. Also take note that fees depend on two major things which are the address type (sender) and most importantly the number of UTXO ( more like the number of outputs and inputs required to complete the transaction) the more it is the higher the size. So you can control the fee rate but size depends on your UTXOs.
This helps also in financial management when choosing your transaction partner in order not to incur some avoidable costs. When you are sending to a similar address, I guess it would be cost free?? Haven't actually transferred out to a different wallet mainly due to fear of loosing my assets.

Bitcoin investment is a game of time. Anybody fut start to dey invest for bitcoin but if you no get patience, you go just dey sell off your bitcoin at loss every time. Na why e good make person dey invest with only his money wey he no go need anytime soon. Sometimes some newbies no dey get mind to leave their bitcoin make e for rest for some time. They dey see am as something wey dey be like ponzi wey be say you go invest today come get X2 by tomorrow but e no be like that.

Any newbie wey go make up his mind say this money wey I dey put for bitcoin, whether e dey add or e dey reduce, I no go touch am. That newbie go make am well well for bitcoin. For everything wey person dey do for this life, e good make e dey understand say you go first plant, water am, wait make e mature before you go fit enjoy well.

You no really need plenty knowledge like that before you fit start up with your bitcoin investment, trying to study more about Bitcoin investment before getting started isn't much necessary but just with your basic knowledge you are good to go, you might be waiting to acquire more knowledge and keep missing out more buying opportunity also the money kept for investment might also be temper with while waiting and before you know it procastination will come in at the end you might end up not even getting started and regret at end when others who started when you are supposed to get started will be rejoicing when bitcoin will be doing well, so i will advise you get started immediately if you have your discretionary income available.
Anybody wey dey wait make he get the whole knowledge of bitcoin before he go start to invest never ready to dey invest for bitcoin because even many people wey don dey bitcoin investment for Many years never study am finish. So the best thing na, as newbie you go first start with money wey you fit say you fit loose and e no go too pain you. With time you go understand say bitcoin no be the kind investment wey person go dey fear make he no loose money. But when you wan start, you still need patience make you take hold am for a very long time so that you no go just wake up one day go sell your bitcoin finish.

As we dey talk all this thing now, I believe say na self discipline dey help person get patience against selling his bitcoin. So as a newbie, you go first teach yourself how to be disciplined and then you go come tell your self say you must get patience. If you do all these things, you go just invest and you no go worry because you know say your profit go surely come one day.
