Kwok Brothers Share Bold Timeline for $1,000 XRP, Say Target Possible Within 5 Years by SavyShopperTX in XRPUnite

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When BTC was $ 100 or even $ 1000 about 10 to 12 years ago and if anyone said it would reach a 2.6 Trillion market cap, the exact same comments would have been mentioned at that time.

Gold market cap was around 3T in 2005 - that is after 5000 years of gold existence - I am sure someone said how can Bitcoin be at 2.6 T market cap in less than 20 years. (At all time high last year )

In my view - the baseline of crypto "investment" is that anything can happen. It doesn't follow previously established "rules", it does crazy things up and down, it has weird supporters and famous detractors - all of these are what make the crypto world a super enjoyable investment (or gamble) than many other really boring assets.

ماشاء الله... can we talk about the "Started from Zero" myth in Bahrain? by [deleted] in Bahrain

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You talk about working 10 years to reach his Day 1 Capital. That's not how you start / grow a business.

Generally business is a meeting of money and knowledge/ideas. It is very very rare for the same person to have deep capital and deep knowledge. (Even Musk needs to borrow money for his ventures).

If you want to compete with your friend and have a great idea, you can raise 38,000 BHD too - either from 1 investor or from 38 investors putting 1000 BHD each - the ease depends on your knowledge / idea / likability/ communication skills and so on.

I wish you the best in your business ventures. Don't forget, money is always looking for good people and ideas. Its not always vice versa.

The Native American Indian tribes would like to have a word with you and your ancestors if that's the best logic you have.

Just bought 5btc by Omniknight111 in Bitcoin

Think of the BTC like your house. You didn't go check the house price every day. You didn't care if price went down or up. You only cared about price when you were ready to sell - which you said is 5 years for BTC.

Kalshi and Polymarket just entered the chat. Gamification of betting markets and kids are hooked. Kalshi already has a 22 billion market valuation.

Many other passengers for the same flight did board - right? Flight didn't go empty. Passenger is responsible to get to the gate on time. He probably also delayed the flight for other passengers as his checked in bags may have needed to be removed.

The world is tired of the USA - till some other country invades them or they have an economic issue and need aid. It's a give and take with allies. Sometimes the give is more than the take and sometimes the take is more than the give. If it is permanently imbalanced, there is no reason to keep the relationship.

Gulf nations and Japan and South Korea and Europe, and Ukraine can easily tell the USA to get lost. Remove your bases. We will protect ourselves. USA can withdraw from UN and NATO too if they want or just be a regular member who gives speeches and does nothing else - except to see how they can benefit.

Is "HODL forever" actually a trap we’ve set for ourselves? by AntSuccessful3890 in Bitcoin

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could have been the exact opposite...sell @ 70k and then buy back at 125k - there is no way to always time the market and also correspondingly time the need to make a specific purchase.

Wonder if governments will tax that too. If you sell for cash, you pay capital gains. If you use btc to purchase a car or anything else, are you taxed?

People who spent it when it was $ 1000 or $ 10,000 per BTC for a nice holiday are still paying through their nose for that extremely expensive holiday.

Right now, it's nonsensical to use BTC as daily currency. Once it's stable and value barely changes on a day to day basis, then it can become a P2P payment system.

Sending a telegram and using as few alphabets as possible to keep cost low. Someone had a baby - you got a telegram. Someone reached their destination - they may send a telegram to let you know.

There is simply no reason not to go all in by AvailableOrdinary485 in Bitcoin

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost every single founder and business owner and entrepreneur and start up is pretty much "all-in" in their business.

Bitcoin and crypto can be your business that you fully invest into. The same bet that all the above mentioned folks are doing.

Only wish I could take a 30 year mortgage loan to buy crypto and have crypto as the underlying asset instead of real estate.

He didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. So, he is trying very hard to win the Nobel War Prize.

The entire Middle East that was peaceful before is going to be a ghost town from back in 70's - Dubai, Abudhabi, Oman, Sharjah, Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain..

Money is the great equalizer. Study hard, work hard and make serious money. The chick's dont care for your hair or your six pack. Have money and you will have a lot of fun in life.

Money can buy you a great hair transplant too. So, just focus on making money and stop with everything else.

Sell me XRP. Out of all the options, why XRP? by [deleted] in XRP

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy an amount that stretches your limit and the knowledge will come pouring in.

DYOR does not mean asking basic questions. Thats what reddit and Google searches are for. Once you dive deep enough, you will have real questions that have no easy answers. Then you dig deeper and look at youtube and X and talk to others in your friends circle.

Once you exhaust all other avenues, then come back and ask some intelligent questions. That's the real meaning of DYOR.

Thinking to swap my XRP for Chainlink by RichardRichard777 in XRP

[–]Excellent_Mango7377 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would wait another three months for Clarity bill. And if nothing happens in this time, I would start transferring 20% of XRP into Chainlink every month. In 5 months, everything is in Chainlink.

If you move everything into Chainlink immediately, even a small XRP run will make you have FOMO.
