There is Bitcoin & everything else is a shitcoin. Sure you can make big fiat gains in Altcoins if you’re lucky but none of them have the longevity, decentralization & proof of work like Bitcoin. I wouldn’t park a big portion of my net worth in any Altcoin long term. Short teem is fine but not long term.
Bitcoin is proven to survive many bear market and still continue to make a new high every bull cycly so holding it is better than altcoin.
While altcoin can give higher profit in terms of percentage, holding it for long term doesn't guarantee you profit but instead carries a higher risk because you are not sure if they will pump again after bear market.
In the end, bitcoin will always be the best cryptocurrency to hold.
They are not as predictable as BTC, because with BTC, cycles dictate the dominance, though even they are not concrete and may change due to many factors at hand.
So the biggest take is to have as much BTC as you can, others - if you want to diversify and see what sticks.

I would argue with the longevity aspect, others - yeah, you are right.

To be honest, this is like the worst promotion I have ever seen!! And for this they have sent a telegram message, an email and advertising it on twitter. 4 days with a 1.2x multiplier on VIP progression is interesting to absolutely nobody, not even the small timer bronze level players. Such a blatant try to get people to wager with as good as 0 reward, really greedy and poor. AT least make is 2x or something, it's just 4 days. 1.2x is straight up ridiculous and not worthy a market leader in this business.
I will only say that this promo is not attractive at all
It does not attract me to wager more even if the promo is running for a whole month because I am not a type of gambler who can wager a lot. Although it may make our VIP progress increased better than without this offer, but we all know that it does not worth the risk. As it was said - they may of at least put 2x on it, and still: people wouldn't crave for it, imo.

Hm.
So the winners would be chosen from those who reposted the post? Or you also need to do something on the platform itself?
I’m one of those very active on following Metawin and Skel X account since they frequently have a surprise giveaway like this that rewards generous.y for a very simple task like retweet or like on their social.
Although this simple task and big rewards attracts a lot of participants that active on bonus hunting on social, still I’m happy for Metawin to get so much exposure on their X account through being generous to their loyal followers.
It's cool that they notice these big wins out of nothing, so to speak, and make it so others would notice them and their platform too.
I think more platforms may adopt such a concept - not only showing the win, but to encourage to make something out of it for yourself too.
I don't understand you are selling Bitcoin and buying Bitcoin again.?? I don't have a good idea about this but if you want you can buy Bitcoin by selling your other currency Altcoin but I am not sure if you are going to sell Bitcoin and buy that Bitcoin again is it true.
At present I always like investing in Bitcoin very much. Investing in Altcoin is very risky so I would suggest selling Altcoin and investing in Bitcoin.

OP probably wants to sell and buy at a lower price - however, to buy BTC, price is irrelevant if you intend to hodl properly.
Bitcoin was not created to fight any other currency, but stand as a unique digital currency in which everyone wanted to use and have the necessary and required financial freedom when using, other cryptocurrencies are coming after the likes of bitcoin as they continue to make moves to be the same way bitcoin has been appearing, they are the one coming after the likes of bitcoin, bitcoin stand to lose or struggle for anything, while other cryptocurrencies are running after the chase to be close to it's utility and value.
Others won't be Bitcoin, even if they try to copy it
And most understand this - yet people still love to think about X coin flipping BTC here and there.. fortunately, it's all speculations, and BTC is still on top.
I can't imagine how can someone be holding this much Bitcoin for so many years. When you have 80K Bitcoin and the price of the coin reaches 20K USD in 2027 or 70K USD in 2021, you'll at least sell one Bitcoin and spend that year very nicely. I believe that someone accidentally discovered keys or they had a wallet and lost the last 2-3 words and cracked it via brute force. If there really is someone out there who holds Bitcoin for 14 years, doesn't sell single coin and doesn't even think about to sell the coin when the price is at its peak to later buy more, then this man deserves The Nobel Prize for his patience.
True hodler if that's the case, or a true lucky man if he just got what was needed to move said Bitcoins at last and use them
This is what long-term Bitcoin holders typically do, but if an investor is unable to forget about the Bitcoins they hold in their wallet they can't be called a long-term investor at all.
But, not everyone has this option. I, for example, have often had to sell my Bitcoin for reasons beyond my control. This was my fault, of course. I should have forgotten about them and tried to find another way. But life is tough, and circumstances sometimes force you to do things you don't want to.

It's hard, but you do need to remember about your BTCs - and to hodl them even knowing about them.
Otherwise, how would you remember them? By accident?
These merchants will always point to the volatility of Bitcoin as the reason why they would accept Bitcoin. As it becomes more stable in the future, more organisations would see the need to have an alternative to fiat. It's a good move from Square if their main aim is to use Bitcoin in a decentralized manner.
They see it as an opportunity to look broader and to have potential going out of it - not something strange, yet it's still welcomed, imo.
Re: Trump Approves Crypto for Retirement Accounts as Bitcoin Surges Past $120K – Wha
This news may sound good but two sided retirement not all individual can withstand seen the valitality of the system when the swayed will swing during the dip, this decision could have been an individual decision or workers. For me I can boldly made a decision is using my retirement account for such as result of some policy and government inefficiency to make good policy where the inflation statistics keep growing and there is no solution to mitigate it.
I think if you do it at all, you know what volatility can do to ya.
So you wouldn't panic sell or do something about your account due to that
I don't see any difference. 
The thing I highlight is they said "Current tax rules make buying a coffee a taxable event" there's nothing different if the customer pay using on chain, lightning network, L2 or any other network, it's still a taxable event.
The improvement that I see merchants don't have to set up or spend more time to accept Bitcoin payment, because Square already sell the hardware which is ready to use.

Yep, maybe he said it more for the crowds to listen to.
But it's a great update nevertheless.
At times I feel this topic ends up being in similar lines to the doomsday cults. We are thinking about a future that will take long to happen than our average lifespan.
Hence for now just concentrate on collecting bitcoin and not what those bitcoin will be worth.
If you need sell coins too for fiat in case.
But dont get stuck in the loop of analysis-paralysis of the future.

Yep. We live in the days it won't happen anyways, so let's focus on the present while we can
I mean, you don't even have to look very far. Gavin's faucet used to give out 5 BTC at a time.
this makes me so sady didn't i know about it then
-snip-
but still.. btc is such a missed opportunity for so many people of becoming rich
Don't mourn about it.
Work with what you already have at the table and be happy that BTC is still kicking
The biggest giveaway was during 2009 when you could mine bitcoin blocks using only your CPU and get the 50 bitcoin reward for each block you'd have found, that reward is currently worth $5 mil
Thats so incredible well at that time they are mining it without even realizing its worth and value as bitcoin spikes a lot few years after. But thumbs up to those who did this and even holding at this time of period. This is their biggest win not in just crypto but in life indeed. Yep, some people are getting the bigger stick out of the pair they are presented, and I hope we and all the would come to the space after us would do the same with BTC.
Bitcoin developers are researching address types that use quantum-resistant signatures. Once those are created, you should be able to simply move your coins to such an address to mitigate the quantum computer threat in the future.
If Bitcoin developer finally come up the solutions to this problem, then most of the wallet we using will be uninstalled, and more new wallets will be created as well?I'm just thinking this maybe these quantum resistance addresses will be supplied to every wallets out there?
How would it done?
I do think they would just get updated with the ability for such addresses and to manually move your BTC there.
What makes people tempted to buy unnecessary things instead of putting their money into investments is their mindset. A person who makes that right investment will sell their bitcoin for another investment, not for nothing.
Therefore, make your goal firm and straight. Make a decision that you can benefit from rather than regret. If you are planning to have passive income from investing in bitcoin, then never think of selling it for useless stuff. Focus on your goals and you're free from temptation. We don't make ourselves hard about it, because we can do it if we are 100% committed to our goal.

Yep, people that are stress-free are those who understand BTC and hodl it without the nerves and FOMO attached.
They know they will eventually get their BTC to a bigger value naturally, and everything will be alright in the long run.
i am aware we all have different strategies and goals for our investments but i am sure that a lot of us are planning to hold bitcoin for the long term and it got me thinking what ways could we do to prevent us from being tempted to sell our bitcoins and spend it on unnecessary things
one way is writing off your bitcoins as not yours. that money is not yours to spend. just forget about it. the more you look at it, the more you will just want to sell it especially when you see the value of bitcoin.
do you also do this and does it really work for you?

Basically, I think that those who invest in Bitcoin must have a long-term plan. When a long-term investor buys and holds Bitcoin, he must have a different plan, he keeps Bitcoin for the future. However, sometimes we know that the price of Bitcoin increases a lot at that time there are many investors who sell, they sell according to their profit. However, if you have a specific goal that you will hold Bitcoin for a decade or more, then you should definitely make such a plan. If you can hold such a plan, then in the future he can definitely own good money, an investor must always hold his Bitcoins with patience.
To hold like that is to understand BTC and not hold any hard feelings about the spikes that may occur.
The knowledge builds up confidence, and its provides you the ability to hold without fear.
