Bitcoin is in a good place in its long-term cycle and on the calendar. Despite the expected volatility, its value will most likely increase significantly during the year. Institutional investors are buying bitcoin every second, so it's still a bargain below $80,000, get it while it's hot.

[@reginaoscar856]

You can start by dollar-cost averaging instead of purchasing a lump sum all at once. Additionally, consult an experienced crypto fiduciary to make informed buying and selling decisions when discussing bitcoin ETF approval. Time in the market is more valuable than timing it. Using this approach, I increased my cryptocurrency holdings from $50K in 2017 to $690K in 2024.

C) Many of those factors are in fact based on falsehoods, constructs based on the wishes of those with motives involving failure of the companies. As such, I look long term. . D) I only lose, or Win, when I SELL . You're confusing the loss of MONEY in terms of business, with SHARE PRICE. They bear little relation to eachother. The Company (Tesla) IS NOT "losing money". If Elon left tomorrow, Tesla, the company would not "lose money" for as long as his philosophy remained intact. . IF he left tomorrow, *I* have no doubt the stock price would...... Let's just say Gordon would be on flapping his gums, saying he was right all along.

Even in developed countries people still fail to understand how important and how valuable freedom of speech is. The ability and courage to contradict the norms and widespread ideas is what actually moved the civilization so far.

4:37 this is taught in ALL Narc schools.

Say the "I do not know what you are talking about" another version "I do not even know if I know what you are trying to say" etc. You see here's the point - anything good, may require complexity, or layers, or multiple steps to explain, or 'get to'. Once something is multi layer, the Child or the narc in every case would go "I do not know what you are trying to say" "I do not follow" "this is too many layers" "this is too much" because the child/narc rides on (and mind you, backed up by quite some population) "oh if this is anything more than ONE PLUS ONE, I will holler, kick, make a fuss and people WILL get on my side that we dont do more than ONE PLUS ONE math".
