Some good posts here. Exactly. Still money to be made in bitcoin and ethereum going forward. At a young age who knew you have to hold for ten years? We all learn a lot.
Indeed no one expected to last that long in the past. But for now I don't even look at Ethereum for my choice other than Bitcoin, because the opportunity to have Bitcoin at low prices in large quantities is this year. Although next year there will still be another decline, but I am more sure that Bitcoin and the crypto space will get even better in the future and regret for everyone who ignores the opportunity will always be there.

I read some of the stories above. The members in the forum are mostly successful, or at least they can improve the economic situation for the better. Of course, I was overjoyed to hear that. I've known Bitcoin for only 7 years, but I still feel like I'm anchovy. 
But I'm really happy that Bitcoin helped me make ends meet. In addition, I also tried to collect some of the signature rewards I participated in. But looking for bitcoin at this time, I think it is more difficult than 4 or 5 years ago. This is because the more pairs and the more volume split on other coins, But I remain optimistic that bitcoin will have more value than its last ATH.
There is still a long way to go, we can still do something to achieve our dreams, it's never too late because Bitcoin will continue to exist for many years to come. Bitcoin has grown over the years, from its initial appearance that has no value and is considered a meme until there are countries that adopt Bitcoin becomes legal tender.

Bitcoin can not only help you make ends meet, but it can also make it easier for anyone with a smart phone or computer to send or receive Bitcoins wherever they are.

Bitcoin is a new phenomenon that exists in the world, although not all countries can accept its presence, but the majority of the world's population is familiar with and uses the convenience of Bitcoin. The presence of Bitcoin can speed up the transaction process instantly, there is no minimum/maximum balance, and of course it can be accessed worldwide.

if this is our understanding from the beginning then we must all be rich by now , but suddenly only a tip of the ice berg who gets in and majority are not , most of us firstly ignore or not believe this market until they finally see how it works and what this can bring them./
now we are  all wanted to turn back time but we cannot because there is no time machine available .

I'm sure most people would feel the same way if they were in your situation. but I don't think it's too late to start over and improve your economy through bitcoin. keep the spirit, may be given patience and fortitude.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
August 24, 2022, 09:00:41 PM
Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.

I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.
I would say that your crypto savings did what they were intendend, and that's not geting rich but helping you in a tight situation when you had no job and neded to pay madical bills. That's way better than borowing money, so don't beat yourself up.

You might be correct TheNineClub in regards to OP being in a situation in which he had no other funds upon which to draw; however, I have my doubts - and largely OP failed/refused to appreciate what bitcoin was and he largely panic sold at the bottom of the market.  Of course, in October/November 2015, there was a bit of a surge in the BTC price, so it is likely that OP did not sell at the absolute bottom of that particular correction period.

Drawing from bitcoin should be the last of the investments to draw upon.. - especially when bitcoin is dipping which was largely was the case in 2015 at the time that OP sold..  so anyone creating an investment in bitcoin should be drawing upon other sources of funds first and even creating an emergency fund, too so that they do not have to draw upon bitcoin at any time other than their own choosing, and of course, if there is life and death emergency than yeah sure.. .. but OPs failure in regards to bitcoin goes much beyond an emergency situation and instead was a result of his loss of faith in bitcoin (if he had ever had any faith in it?)

I think we have the same feelings bruh, i started in bitcoin since 2015, although not that much older, but i have the same feeling as you, i tried my best doing what I've learned from other by watching them, i tried trading, i invested 350$, from the beginning i earned a little bit, then since bitcoin is going to crash down in 2018, i loose my chance, my friend is doing well, they started building their own house, then buy they dream bikes. So i get jealous. Im 😢 feel you bro
Yeah.. but what are you doing now?

Are you remaining a bitter no coiner?

I am not recommending investing in shitcoins, but instead, start a solid plan and just start to buy bitcoin, whether you buy $100 per week, or if you cannot afford that much, then buy $10 per week, and then keep doing that for 4-10 years, and then regroup at that point.
For me, it is a pity if there are no coins that are owned now for the future, this must be needed because there are many goals that must be achieved, regardless of how many bitcoins we have, we must be able to store them for the long term Invest long term in any way.

I think $100 per week is very hard for our people especially not having a high salary we do as little as possible as long as we can save it every week, isn't that a good suggestion from you? I always follow whatever advice is most important I understand and can do it.

For sure, I do not want to mislead anyone into investing in a way that is either beyond their budget or causing them to have to struggle or to become too worried about the amount that they are regularly investing into bitcoin... so the amount that is chosen should be sufficiently low that you are not going to miss it, but sufficiently aggressive that it makes a difference.. If the first issue regarding being comfortable is not satisfied, then you should not be moving to the next issue regarding aggressiveness.

For most of my time in bitcoin from late 2013 until early 2020, I would suggest pretty much the same thing to people, which was get the fuck started with something like $10 per week... and figure out your target allocation between 1% and 10% of your total quasi-liquid investment portfolio into bitcoin, and if you are whimpy aim for the lower amount of something like 1% and if you are more aggressive aim for 10%, and I would expect that while anyone is investing into bitcoin for 1 or 2 years or even more, they should be striving to study their own situation in order to really tailor their approach to bitcoin to their own circumstances  - and I would not even expect anyone to just jump into bitcoin and have it figured out right away.. but after a decent amount of time in bitcoin they should have more and more time and opportunties to figure out their own situation and to tailorize their approach to themselves.

Since after March 2020, I have changed my recommendation and started to recommend that people aim for 1% to 25% of their quasi-liquid investment portfolio into bitcoin, and I have also started to recommend starting out with $100 per month rather than $10 per month, and I am kind of presuming a western salary or at least some kind of decent income and if you look at $100 per week, a lot of regular income folks in the west and even other locations can afford that.. .. yet don't get me wrong.. I am not unsympathetic that in some places around the world, $100 per week might be the whole salary or even more than what is earned, so I am currently just throwing out both ideas when communicating on the forum with the idea that guys have to figure out their own cashflows to figure out how to be sufficiently aggressive in their BTC allocation without being too aggressive...   

For sure, some newbie to bitcoin guys get nervous that DCA is not enough, and they need to hold some in reserve for buying on dips, and surely I have no problem with that, which might mean that the guy who is DCAing $100 per week. needs to cut back and hold some of that for buying on dips... so in that regard, I still consider DCA to be more important than buying on dips, but each of us who is in BTC accumulation stages need to be careful that we attempt to reach a balance that is comfortable for us in terms of both keeping the DCA going and also having some dry powder if the BTC price dips if we believe that might make us feel better to supplement our DCA by buying on dips... and if you do not have enough money to do both, I would surely recommend DCA over buying on dips.. but of course, that also depends on how much BTC that you have already accumulated.. If you have a decently large BTC stash, then you might end up favoring buying on dips over DCA... so in that regard, each person has to assess his/her comfortable balance in regards to whether to split, and which one to emphasize.

[edited out]
My friend you are a btc fanboy obviously and got hurt feelings.

I am not sure how you arrived at both of those conclusions from my response to your post... but yeah, BTC fanboy.. sure.. even though that sounds like a bit of a derogatory, but yes I am a pretty decently sized fan of bitcoin... not a fanatic, though.. .hahahahaha

I am not emotional but thanks for yours.

I am glad that you are not emotional.. so maybe we share something?  maybe?

Any decent asset you hold for 20 years is likely to go up in price.

Well if you define a decent asset by its having had gone up, then sure definitionally you are correct...

But don't make the mistake of considering bitcoin to be any run of the mill asset because it is quite unique, if you had not noticed.

Apparently, you had not noticed that bitcoin is a unique asset, otherwise you would NOT be attempting to lamedly argue with me on this point.

I did not get into too much detail was just trying to tell the guy who posted we all have had our issues.

We are in a public thread, so anyone can chime in, and like I mentioned in my previous post, your post brought up a lot of ideas that seemed worthy of further elaborations.

And correct I sold my Gox claim.

That's too bad, but I presumed correctly.. so that's good.

And trade for an investment company -

I was not trying to suggest that you don't have any financial experiences, yet even you likely know that there are all kinds of perspectives and approaches in regards to how any investment company or their employees or agents might approach investments.. some investment companies are more correct than others.

and no I dont believe anyones hype or cult following of crypto.

I mostly try to avoid talking about crypto.. I prefer to focus on bitcoin, but sure sometimes folks will drag conversations into non-bitcoin areas.. and if you are wanting to lump bitcoin and crypto together and to suggest that someone like me is merely propagating hype and cult-like ideas, then you likely do not really understand and/or appreciate the differences between bitcoin and crypto, surely to me it seems that folks who are able to understand and appreciate the difference are going to be much better off in terms of recognizing and appreciating what is going on in the space.. however, sure I know that there are a lot of crazy-ass ideas out there too, and it likely is going to take a decent amount of time for larger segments of the population to really be understanding and appreciating the value proposition of bitcoin as compared with the various other aspects of the space that might be considered as "crypto", and actually I am not even going to proclaim that you are technically wrong to lump them all together, but there are a lot of folks who don't understand what the fuck is going on because they think they know what bitcoin is and they just lump it into some vague-ass category and fail/refuse to see and appreciate bitcoin's value proposition for what it is, including actual factual happenings and empirical evidence.. rather than merely "hype" as you are asserting.

Unlike yourself - cant even spell holding.

I will admit there is some humor in that lil trivial dig.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Markets have cycles. Its up to you how you play it.

Sure.  Bitcoiners have also done well who have long term invested into bitcoin, and there can be various ways that they might be able to supplement a buy and HODL (sic) strategy by selling on the way up and buying on the way down.. but people also tend to get carried away.. so frequently, trading is difficult to play for a lot of people, even though I agree with you that there can be ways to play it that might not devolve into a worse than employing some kind of a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) stragegy.

Thanks for your essay.

No problem.  It seems that we are here to interact on various topics... so sure it is better if I am not imposing my ideas on anyone.. but it  will also be good if we might address some of the faulty ideas too, including but not limited to my own.. if any.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Still money to be made in bitcoin and ethereum going forward.

Don't fuck around with ethereum.. it's the shitcoin of shitcoins, and its investment thesis is largely just to facilitate the flourishing of other shitcoins (ponzi schemes and other complicated matters claiming to be innovative.. and really a Rube Goldberg machine if you really consider the matter). 

Of course, you can get in and out of that crap, but it is not a long term investment.. that's for sure.

At a young age who knew you have to hold for ten years? We all learn a lot.

Regarding bitcoin, you do not necessarily have to hold for 10 yers or longer, but surely so far the history has shown those who invest longer periods are generally better off, including if they had not sold too many too soon.. so at least holding onto a decent amount of their stash through the UPs and DOWNs of the market has proven to be a pretty decent strategy in bitcoin so far, and there is no real evidence that bitcoin is getting any worse as an investment. In fact bitcoin's investment thesis is likely getting better with the passage of time (Lindy effect), and even if there is not as much UPside potential, the downside potential is also progressing towards less riskiness too... which is one of the reasons why a lot of folks consider bitcoin to be the best of UPside asymmetric bets of a lifetime. .and especially open to everyone and anyone.. unlike some investments of the past that were not really available to normies.. including that people can buy really small amounts of bitcoin, including less than $1 at a time.. although many exchanges are increasing their limits to $5 or $10 at a time.. but we do have lightning network too that allows for very small (micro) transactions, even though we will need to concede that some of the user-friendliness can be a bit confusing for less sophisticated (or less technologically endowed) players.

This is the reason why dont invest in crypto that you can't afford to lose always make an investment only the money you have as an extra and not make a full of the pot into a one basket, always manage the risk and make a market investment plan, this is cryptocurrency volatility and no one assured with the price movement. That's why to invest in your knowledge to make sure where to in and out in the market situation.

Bud you're in the same boat as many of us.  Countless users here have absolutely "blown through" bitcoins.  But many of has had no idea it would take off like it did even though we had all sure hoped it would get there.  You can't change the past, only the future so simply stop dwelling on the past and make positive moves forward.  Best of luck.
Even myself do really get stressed out or really having that sad moment whenever i do remember on the times looking back if i had able to accumulate and not able to spend of the coins that i have earned on the past 5-6 years then i might be rich as of this moment or do make that big money basing on our local currency value.

I do only comfort myself and convince that past is past and there's nothing you can do but there are indeed times that regrets and frustrations could really affect you on some day.

But now its totally true that its better to focus on what lies ahead because no matter what you do there's no way that you could turn back the time.

Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.
So in 2010 i was working in IT company and my friend from work told me about bitcoin mining.
Next day after this information i register on this forum and start mining coins, everything going perfect but bitcoin price was really low and unstable.
I was investing everything in gpu. Couple times i lost my fund's on scam-exchange but i still had a lot of "mining power".
In 2015 i quited my job and invest my whole savings in bitcoin, in that time i had more than 15 bitcoin's and gpu worth 20k$.
And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?

Now after 6 years i have biggest depression ever, if i only burrow money from somewhere 5 years ago and didnt sell my miners...

I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.

All of us who work in cryptocurrency will regret it No one is completely successful in this crypto currency. Maybe we didn't get hit as big as you and that's a big regret for our lives.If I had taken advantage of cryptocurrencies at the right time, my position would be in a very good position today. I have been working since 2016 and used to earn a lot of money from there but I can keep all my money as till now.But I saw some bitcoins in the investment as a consolation to erase all my past events from there.

The more solid of the recommendations forward in this thread did have to do with suggesting that OP get back on the horse, and to learn from his past mistakes, and whether that is possible with OP or not, it seems to be a decent talking point in terms of anyone who might be reading this thread.. and that has to do with anyone having trepidations about bitcoin, refusal to stay invested into bitcoin and to walk away, they are likely going to have fun staying poor if they do not grow the fuck up sooner rather than later... In other words, bitcoin is likely serving as our greatest wealth transfer in history, and if anyone has doubts about these parameters (presumptions), then it would be a matter of  how much they should invest into bitcoin rather than whether to invest into bitcoin. .. and fuck shitcoins
I remember the words of advice "if time could be turned back then I will change the story of this life".

Is that what the OP wants to do? if talking regret about how crypto offers a bright future, especially Bitcoin maybe I want to go back and sell everything for Bitcoin. Life goes on as humans we will continue to progress and develop. Maybe the moment when you have everything will make your life greedy and destroy everything. So the regret process of making you appreciate the next second means a lot and we can't trade it for anything. The OP still has the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin, so do it because we recognize that Bitcoin has changed the lives of many people. I, you, and everyone here must have a story of regret.

But will that stop us from living? Of course it depends on whether someone wants to learn from mistakes or give up and consider life not as lucky as others.

The OP who considers himself unlucky is one who doesn't appreciate how life can't be exchanged for anything. Bitcoins are still available and you can buy them in small quantities. So if you can appreciate the slightest change in your Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin will one day accidentally make your life a lot better.

unfortunately, the OP couldn't change his past anymore. face the reality and the reason he sold everything was because he badly needed the money at that time. so that's the price already. everyone has that moment in his life. look forward and not backward. you will get depressed if you go back again and again. as long as you live, you have hope of getting out of your situation, but you need to do something in your life right now that can change your path to the future.

For sure all of us here had some bad experiences and some losses in crypto including myself, you are not alone had some rough times during these years pasts. I had some regret over selling my bitcoin too early during my first year in crypto because I got too excited over it . Not just bitcoin but I have some lots of alts from bounty and airdrops rewards which I sold too early as well, TWT, SOL, HEX, Synthetics and much more that it hurts myself remembering it. Though I had some rough times, still I continue to believe that my time will come for sure that crypto will change my whole life in a big way.

don't regret what you have done in the past, it will be a lesson for you that holding onto some potential assets is very necessary. If you sell it early then you should be satisfied with what you got. I also have a lot of altcoins from bounty results and several airdrops that I participate in. even i was manager in some bounties and it gave me lots of high potential tokens. we must continue to develop with more advanced thinking. a few years with crypto made me learn how to manage assets well for the future, so no regrets. crypto changes the life of anyone who is serious about crypto. what I got today started from my interest in cryptocurrencies.
Come to think that you arent the only ones who do commit out such mistake or into that situation where you do really need to sell out those coins for the sake of the safety of your wife or loved ones.
Nothing beats out someones life over money even though this would be talking about potential million of dollars but shit do really happens which is something unavoidable.Its better to make yourself
get moved on with the past and would be focusing on the current dealing or situation of the market which you could still have the chance on making yourself to be profitable
or making money.

Yeah dont worry mate. Just try invest when the market bottoms out in the next year or 6 months. You cant look back. I started with 3000 btc I bought for 3k USD back in 2012. All the hype never really happened and I was not into trading back then nor did btc have real charts to look at. I then managed to get around 600 btc saved in mtgox - and yep - it all got taken by MK the ultra D. The whole industry is so scammy. Then compliance now blocks all you funds if kept on an exchange. I dont ever hold I always sell at good prices and wait to get back in. I was such a believer back then but now if I'm honest I think the NSA's sha256 being used in btc is a big giveaway. CDBC would never be implementable unless crypto/btc came first. I think crypto is a plan to get everyone working digital and then the central banks can enforce CDBC on all exchanges. Compliance and KYC of crypto is ten times worse than a strict bank. Its easier to pay 30k cash in a bank then it is to deal with the BS Kraken and other exchanges ask for these days. So I am also in my own way fed up of bitcoin. Wish I had just put away 3000 btc and left it for ten years but who knew? Every up swing you get the hype boys like Keiser the CIA man manipulating demand and the price - calling 500k - it then dumps.
Hope you enjoyed my rant. Best of luck. Now you know to get in cheap and get out when prices are crazy high.

Wow... You seem to be deluded goldrushed2.  

If what you are saying happens to be true, then you surely have some interesting facts, but it seems like you have a decently BIG ass ego, too.. .and you also seem to have some weird views of the world.. sure the world is screwed up in a lot of ways, but it seems to me that on an individual level we should be attempting to be figuring out ways to deal with such matters and to provide more options to ourselves rather than just moaning about various negative aspects of the world.. yeah.. I agree some of the negative aspects are quite irritating, frustrating and unfair many times too..

By the way having a strong ego can be dangerous for investing whether BTC or otherwise, and also dangerous when attempting to share ideas about these kinds of topics with others in a forum like this... - if you happen to actually be interested in sharing any more of your matters and views as they might relate to this thread.

Let me just point out that you had recommended getting in and out of bitcoin, but also you recognize that you had fucked up pretty BIGGEDly by getting out of all of your BTC?  That getting in and out of bitcoin approach does not seem to have worked out too well for you. unless there is some angle that you are not mentioning.. such as that you still hold some of your coins perhaps?  but from your post, I got the sense that you are a bit of a bridge burner and you do not like to hold on to things, even if they might have future value..  Cry Cry Cry..

Also, if you really had 600 coins on Gox at the time of their implosion in February 2014 and if you did not sell your claims to the various scalpers (or whatever those guys would be called?), your 600 coins would likely be a shit-ton of value right now, even if the GOX claims are likely ONLY anticipated to pay out around 15% or so?  

I cannot recall exactly what the latest anticipated payout for the GOX coins.. but the fact that you did not mention it, makes me suspect that you no longer hold the claims to those coins even though.. 600 coins in 2014 would have been around $360k ($600 per coin) on the fair market value right before the GOX implosion down to around $200 (which still would have been $120k) or whatever stupid price that MTGOX's exchange rate was stuck at (I seem to recall $190 for some reason) when they announced they were closing. and then never to reopen.. .but even if you were able to get 15% of 600 BTC, that would be 90 BTC (which would be nearly $2 million at today's BTC prices).  

I doubt that you still have claims to 600 BTC on MTGOX, since even if what you had said was true, from my little bit of information about you from your post here, you seem to be disinclined to HODLing onto anything.. and probably you flunked the marshmallow test too, right?   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Even if I sound confrontational goldrushed2, I do not mean to be confrontational towards you in any kind of personal way, except to really attempt to highlight some of the factual dissonance contained within your post, which to some extent causes me to wonder if you have even reflected upon the contents of the factual representations of your own post? (not that I am trying to psychologically analyze you)
My friend you are a btc fanboy obviously and got hurt feelings. I am not emotional but thanks for yours. Any decent asset you hold for 20 years is likely to go up in price. I did not get into too much detail was just trying to tell the guy who posted we all have had our issues. And correct I sold my Gox claim. And trade for an investment company - and no I dont believe anyones hype or cult following of crypto. Unlike yourself - cant even spell holding. Markets have cycles. Its up to you how you play it.

And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?

One thing you have to understand is that coming to this crypto industry, literally is just like a journey and everyone got it own story to tell, this your story/experience is part of the obstacle you face along the line until when you start getting things right, Therefore the little advice I have for you is learn from your past mistakes, make right investment choice by doing proper research on any project you want to invest, focus and start living in the present you will definitely get there when you will start living your dream life with Bitcoin, for this isn't the end of the journey for you.
In my own 6 years journey into Bitcoin I have lost thousands of dollars in some investment and trading too, when I was just getting to know Bitcoin but all was just part of experience to me. HODL if you need positive result, history has proven it that those who bought Bitcoin and HODL at least for the period of 4 years has profited from Bitcoin.
The bottom line is define your mission into this industry and follow it up, I believe you will have smiles in the end.

I’m sorry about what happened to you
It kind of happens to everyone , you know
I have also had a close experience where I have missed some opportunities, but that wouldn’t be enough reason for me to quit. This is not even just an experience you have with crypto, it’s something that happens in every areas of life. But the mistake I think you made was at first when you quit your job, I always advise people not to quit their jobs because of cryptocurrency; in fact it is much safer to have two sources of income than relying on one. No matter how much you’re seeing in crypto, that shouldn’t be enough for you to quit your job. So my advice would be that you get a normal job and also continue investing in bitcoin, that way you’re sure of income from two sources. And Since bitcoin is volatile and risky, you need a stable job to balance it off

Bitcoin To The Moon 📈📈📈

Interesting to read about these stories. I first invested in Bitcoin when it was trading at $600 per coin, back in 2014. The amount I invested was quite small and only around $1500 in total. But after 8 years, I am quite happy that I made that decision back then. Apart from my initial investment, I was able to earn Bitcoin from signature campaigns and freelancing. And to be honest, it changed my life. Back in 2014, I was struggling to manage my expenses. Now I am helping a number of my friends and family members.
I read some of the stories above. The members in the forum are mostly successful, or at least they can improve the economic situation for the better. Of course, I was overjoyed to hear that. I've known Bitcoin for only 7 years, but I still feel like I'm anchovy. 
But I'm really happy that Bitcoin helped me make ends meet. In addition, I also tried to collect some of the signature rewards I participated in. But looking for bitcoin at this time, I think it is more difficult than 4 or 5 years ago. This is because the more pairs and the more volume split on other coins, But I remain optimistic that bitcoin will have more value than its last ATH.
I have read many sources from they have managed to change their finances for the better after getting to know crypto even they can buy the things they want because of the profits from crypto that have been made in the past few years, whether it's in trading, investing or otherwise they make finances easy. even better, but don't think of you as an anchovy but we can still make efforts to increase our profits in bitcoin, believe me we can change everything because it's not too late on this journey.

I think we have the same feelings bruh, i started in bitcoin since 2015, although not that much older, but i have the same feeling as you, i tried my best doing what I've learned from other by watching them, i tried trading, i invested 350$, from the beginning i earned a little bit, then since bitcoin is going to crash down in 2018, i loose my chance, my friend is doing well, they started building their own house, then buy they dream bikes. So i get jealous. Im 😢 feel you bro

Yeah.. but what are you doing now?

Are you remaining a bitter no coiner?

I am not recommending investing in shitcoins, but instead, start a solid plan and just start to buy bitcoin, whether you buy $100 per week, or if you cannot afford that much, then buy $10 per week, and then keep doing that for 4-10 years, and then regroup at that point.

For me, it is a pity if there are no coins that are owned now for the future, this must be needed because there are many goals that must be achieved, regardless of how many bitcoins we have, we must be able to store them for the long term Invest long term in any way.

I think $100 per week is very hard for our people especially not having a high salary we do as little as possible as long as we can save it every week, isn't that a good suggestion from you? I always follow whatever advice is most important I understand and can do it.
