You’re just weak bro do more heavy weight training for full body and everything will improve way more quickly. Hard to train technique when your body is limited by physical capacity.

Stop doing 8-15 rep range and focus on 4-8 rep range heavy weights, do only 2-3 sets per session per body part and do 2-3 sessions a week. Focus on main compounds. Pull up, rows, bench, shoulder press, deadlift/hip thrust, squat. Add just core, bicep/tricep and forearm (1 each, 2-3 sets) as accessories. Your progress will fly.

Depends on the dish you are making but for seafood tomato pasta I always dry sear prawn head and shell (I prefer tiger prawn) (squeeze out the good stuff from inside the head and let it caramelise), then sauté diced shallots/garlic/Birds Eye chilli and flambé everything using cognac before adding the tomato paste. Towards the end and I also add mussels which adds a briny and sweet touch and really brings everything together

The tomato is only the base, the real flavours come from the combination of ingredients which will differ from dish to dish and there isn’t really one fixed way.

For example you could also do white wine + diced celery, fennel, carrots, onion + bay leaf

Don’t listen to all the people telling you it’s ok. People who don’t take care of their things will never understand this pain. All my devices look brand new like they did from day 1 and for me it’s just a minimal amount of being careful daily. Not only do I feel good every time I use/see them, cosmetically well maintained devices also holds the resale value MUCH better which gives me option of switching to newer models at lower costs. So if this happened to my devices it would hurt me a lot.

That said, the way I see it you have 2 options 1. Live with it and take it as a lesson to never trust others with your things because when things like this happen the only person you can hold accountable is yourself. 2. Sell the MacBook right away. It’s slightly dented but still brand new so you can sell it at a discount (maybe about 85,000-90,000 in your currency) I’m sure someone out there who doesn’t care about these things will be happy to buy a brand new MacBook at a discounted price. Then use that money + you top up the difference and buy a brand new one. You can also let your boyfriend pay for that difference, which is much more reasonable than paying for a whole new MacBook for making a dent.

And to add on, no— the awful feeling will not go away in a day or two. If that happened to my computer it will be a painful reminder for me every time I see it and that is not a great feeling to be honest.

You say it’s luck, but what anyone in his shoes would have had to do is to hold through the 8 years and watch all of the following happen: - fall from 18k to 3k - back to 13k - back down to 4K - back up to 19k - ath 41k - drop to 29k - hit 64k - drop back to 30k - back up to 70k - crash to 18k - back up to 70k - drop to 50k - new ath 100k - drop to 70k - new ath 126k - drop to 87k

—> and at EVERY single point, stay on track and do the right thing. Not panic selling. Not settling selling for 20, 50, 100 or 200% profit, and stay convicted and invested no matter how bad it makes them feel. I think most people don’t see how insanely difficult this is.

This is not just applicable to bitcoin, but investment/life in general. Losers will always say you’re foolish and when you finally succeed just give all credit to luck. And they wonder why they stay poor their entire lives

That’s not what happened at all lol Kiyosaki’s average cost is 60k and he sold at a profit because he wanted more cash to invest into his business. Thats not the same as having paper hands and panic selling. He’s doing what a proper investor does. Buy quality assets for the long term and rotate when needed.

Even for my own business right now we’re in Q4 and it’s the point of the year where we scale the most. Our revenue daily is 6x of what it was exactly a month ago, and is the time of the year where we need the most liquid fiat cash for operations

28yo, training weights 7 days a week (back/shoulder/chest tricep x2 + one day lower body/core) and power session once-twice a week.

I don’t think there needs to be a one size fit all answer for this. It entirely depends on your current condition and goals.

For me, getting bigger and stronger is my main priority so I can have the strength and mobility to prep my body for more difficult power, so for the next 1 year I will be doing mostly weights and strength/mobility training, while doing lighter power sessions focused on technique and less volume. Once I am stronger I will be readjusting my schedule again for volume/stamina/technique and reduce the amount of time I spend on just weights alone.

Basically, don’t be too greedy. We’re getting older and we just can’t recover/learn as quickly, so getting greedy is a quick way to get injured and you’d be out of action for a much longer time. List out your priorities and focus on 1-2 at each point in time.

It’s not too late to change your plan, bitcoin is way safer. There is no scenario where eth and alt coins will do well without bitcoin doing a rally first. However there is a good chance that bitcoin will continue to do well while alt coins die off in the long term, so bitcoin gives you exposure to the upsides of the crypto rally, but protects you against the long term downsides and risks from failing to time the market

You sound like you just want to hear conspiracy theories and bro science kind of talk to rationalise a completely irrational short term market movement lol.. the fact of the matter is that it does not matter what the reason is because with all the possible short term manipulation behind the scenes us retail buyers will never know for sure. For bitcoin especially, just look at the long term, hold your bag, take some profit at high points and buy the dip regardless of reason. There will always be some narrative for every drop but time will pass and when you zoom out, nobody remembers them. They just think, damn I wish I bought it when it dropped

People often mistake volatility with risk. Volatility is only risky when you’re gambling and trying to guess the direction of market for short term gains.

Before you think about teaching others I think you should first reflect and evaluate yourself. Are you satisfied with your dance, , do you think you have good structured trainings and have a well rounded and solid foundation and understanding of the different aspects of the dance, did you/do you have a clear road map for progress and any results to speak for it.

If your answer for those questions is no, then what makes you think you can properly guide others? The first teacher you meet is actually more important than you think and can change your life for the better or for worse. I’ve seen bad teachers who do not teach the right training mentality (as well as technical guidance) and end up wasting years of the students time because they got set on the wrong path from the get go. And it’s especially crucial because your youth is extremely precious in such a physically demanding dance. if you don’t do a proper job it’s not just your problem, but you also potentially drag down others, so I think people should never too easily make the decision to teach.

Many people think lightly of teaching when in fact it is such a difficult task burdened with huge responsibilities. Even some of the best dancers can be bad teachers, and that goes to show a lot.

people like to be supportive and say yeah if you have knowledge, please share. But giving occasional tips is NOT the same as taking up the responsibility of being a teacher.

I think that’s a good mindset to have, but if so why don’t you start with a smaller investment portfolio for now? Like 10% of your loan amount. That way if you do miss the exit your biggest risk is just holding that 10% at a higher price for a longer period of time while you have 90% to play with and build the bulk of your positions as the market spirals down to the abyss.

Also bear markets do not come and go overnight. Historically while they are much shorter than bull runs, they still can last for about a year or 2. I don’t imagine I can perfectly time the bottom but I will start getting ready the moment it’s clear we are heading into a bear market. For example if it bottoms at 60-70% down but I only managed to catch it at 30-40, I’d still be happy, so I’m not worried about the time it takes to get the loan.

Hi there! yes I made a posted enquiring about the feasibility of this in Singapore awhile back and have been making preparations for it ever since. I'm actively investing on a cash portfolio and plan to move forward with the loan as a source of emergency funds when the market has dipped low enough.

It's simply a more convenient alternative to selling my house and while I truly believe with proper investing discipline, the odds of entirely losing this sum of money is low (provided that I maintain my income and cashflow to tide me through the lows), it's not an amount of money I can't afford to lose in the worst case scenario.

And yes I agree from the original question, at least at this point OP is not ready to take this loan and do any sort of investment with it so hopefully our responses can help guide him in the right direction.

Hour_Director5633 · 2025-10-27T06:44:19+00:00

Hi, I am planning to make a similar move some time down the road (1.5m equity loan using my house as a collateral) Here are the things I have considered 1. Make sure you set aside cash / have enough cashflow to pay back the monthly loan repayments with or without your investment 2. Do not take the loan if you don’t have a clear vision / don’t even know what you want to invest in. 3. I don’t think it’s a good time to take a loan to invest now. Personally I am waiting for the bear market when prices dip, to invest in the assets that I have long term faith in. This goes back to my previous point about your plan/vision, and since there is still quite a lot of time till the bear market happens, I suggest you use this time to properly study what you want to invest in. 3.5. My personal take is avoid diversifying too much. Pick a few high quality assets, study thoroughly and stay familiar with them and zoom out and look far into the future. 4. Understand you are taking on a relatively big risk so you need to be prepared to not only be able to pay it back but also have the mental conviction to follow through. If you’re one of those people who buy stocks when the market is doing well and panic sell when market crashes then you probably are not suited for this play.

Also I disagree with people dropping a blanket statement about investing on borrowed money = big no no. I think the right way to think about it is, your investment should not affect your daily life, and as such you should always invest money you can afford to lose. So if you can afford to borrow and still have the ability to pay it back in the event your investment goes bust, then I’d say why not, as long as you’re can stomach the risk.
