BGB is the next big thing, mark this comment

Not really. That is the coin's normal behaviour, but Binance won't list it. It loves to move when others are struggling, then a spike dump and immediately recovers to show some swag.

Alexas58:
Hahahahahaha

If the market doesn’t do like this
It must do like this!

I no dey write plenty theory ooo


But for practical we dey show working

Whenever I inadvertently come across your posts, I can't help but discern a predictable pattern: you're perpetually engaging in antagonistic behavior, all while flaunting $20—the price of the book I authored in a single day, but your $20 profit stops the day you die while the books keep generating income forever. That same book has generated a consistent revenue stream since 2018.

I understand where you’re coming from; I was once enamored with the idea of showcasing every modest achievement. However, I’m glad to have transcended that phase. In due course, it all becomes routine, and I trust you’ll eventually evolve to that level.

Your behavior portrays an evident inferiority complex and pointing it out is enough to unsettle your fragile ego.

Predictably, you’ll dedicate weeks to venting, lambasting, and lamenting and flaunting more screenshots. Yet, I won’t pay attention unless I happen to stumble upon it by chance. Nairalanders will surely find amusement in your reaction—it’s almost theatrical — na back-to-back abuse I go get.

If I challenge you to a giveaway competition to prove how rich you are, you'll scamper sharp sharp.

In Africa, religion is deeply ingrained in the social fabric, but a Christian who enters into a Mosque brimming with Muslims to preach about Jesus or brandishes images of Jesus (your 20 billion Dollar forex wins) would be deemed mentally unstable. The same logic applies inversely to Muslims who enter a Church do the same.

The umbrella is "religion, digital assets," but the faith or belief is "Islamic, Christ-like, Crypto, Forex, etc."

This is a cryptocurrency-focused discussion. Yet, here you are, comporting yourself as though you’re the wealthiest individual in the room simply because you presume nobody else here possesses $20 because they've refused to pay you that amount for mentorship.

You're not showing woking, but outcome and it can be manipulated. Spend two months or a year teaching people here TA, especially support and resistance, trendline, best time frame, when to enter a market, how to not loss a lot. Just everything that'll make them fish on their own, but no, you want to flaunt $20 and screenshots to entice victims.

If I was the one screaming $20 to join, do you know how many people I would have in my camp by now? People need to trust you first before they hand their money to you. Screenshots no longer make the cut—in fact, it's more like an empty-barrel show off. People will trust that guy that posted -$998 loss than you.

Create YouTube videos or articles and teach them how you did it. It's only people with motives that hate to teach others how to fish.

You ostentatiously flaunt your $20 earnings, oblivious to the thread’s intent. If this was your personal thread, such conduct might be excusable. But no—you’ve intruded upon a crypto-centric conversation to parade your tiny forex gains, under the delusion that everyone here is impoverished.

Ironically, some of us in this forum have attended prestigious institutions abroad, where exorbitant sums were invested in our education only to come argue with Mr. $20.

Despite that, we forced ourselves maintain humility to an extent and comport ourselves with decorum. Yet, here you are, attempting to suffocate us with a the Almighty $20, which none of use had ever seen or made.

It’s evident to me that you’re either a teenager or, at most, 25 years old. That explains your puerile behavior, and it’s precisely why I choose to disregard you.

I empathize—you’re at an age where time is abundant, and responsibilities are scarce. However, let me impart some wisdom: the most formidable adversary is one who has nothing to lose and you're the one. Picking a fight with you is instant failure for me.

If you don't want to accept the giveaway competition, let's go on a TA lecture competition. If English is too hard for you, use pidgin. E no be crime.

You teach and I teach. Or, let's put everyone in a group and do voice note lecture. As the king of invisible TA, you go first.

Or since you're mister practical, you'll create a video and I'll post a handwritten detailed post with hand-drawn images, charts, etc.

Our purpose here should be to educate and enlighten the people, not to show off $20 or try to extort $20 from them. Few years from now, most of us won't be here, but let our lectures make the coming generation say, "Wow, they were so selfless in helping and teaching others without asking for a dime." Let's make ourselves good reference point.

If you reply, I'll only read the first 4 lines and if it's teenage abuse and banter as usual, I'll stop reading and ignore you.

Let's add value. It's not all about It'll go to 120k after saying the bullrun is over months ago.

If it doesn't go up, it'll go down. Trade like a champion, I show working! And boom, you slam us with a 20 billion Dollar profit forex screenshots EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Back your market direction up with reasons and teach it to us for free. When you begin do this, I'll even join your 20 billion Dollar scheme.

No one takes you seriously here—they see you as an attention-seeking clown who knows a bit, but feels he knows too much compared to everyone, hence, abuses everyone.

When I came up with the +16k and -7k system, I taught everyone how it started and how it's been going. Came up with 5 green day and it's working. What about 3 boxes and many more? They're working.

This is knowledge I could hide and sell for $20, but I shared them. Even if I sell them in the future, at least, I once shared them for free. Give knowledge or solve problems more than you try to take and watch how you'll never lack.

Just because I don't post screenshots of my wins so you'll use it to size my financial worth, you automatically feel we're all broke and not taking actions. Everyone can see through your shenanigans.

Accept one of those challenges or forever remain an empty "trade like a champion" drum. If it doesn't go up, it'll go to 120k. I say such things, but mine mostly come true.

You have fraudulent tendencies with lots of ego as shield that makes it even more repugnant, which will lead to people easily hating on you for your stinginess with knowledge, yet the loudest in the room.

If you want to be loud, add LOUD values first. That's what I do.

Woman wey scream the loudest for room no mean say na squîrting orgásm. It could be pains. As a man, you'll begin to feel you've achieved it and expect her to now worship you like Geh-Geh.

You want to be the most loved, known and respected in this thread, yet you don't want educate people for free, but always flaunting $20, which is 1 hour income in some countries.

Don't you have shame? Don't you have parents or elderly ones that'll advise you? Or have you used your stubbornness to kill them?

Don't you know parents can die of different sicknesses, including hypertension because of their children's waywardness and stubbornness?

Imagine if all your siblings behave the way you do? How will your parents feel or survive such toxicity? If they send you to do this and that, you'll never do it because you'll feel you know WAY better than them and they're old schools and unintelligent.

Whoever your parents are, may God bless them. They tried their best in raising you right, but it didn't work out. Some children are not meant to be born if you don't want to die early. Since you can't kill them, for fear or jail or have money to run, you die fast to escape them and leave the problem you produced for the rest of the world.

I'm waiting for your choice and choose wisely because I'm prepared for both.

If you want to consume made in Naija edibles or drinkables, it should better be something you'll cook before eating or drinking, else, your health will pay the price one day except you're lucky.

If it's non consumables, then fine.

ifynwaba:
Boss what exchange is this please?

Binance

iLegendd:
Going for liquidation at 102k. If they're wicked enough, they might go for 105-107k. Going straight to 112k will be a tall order, but can be easily done with the help of whales and FOMOers.

My rule 1: I never take the market seriously until I see 10% pump or dump in BTC in a day.

The tall order wasn't ordering enough. From 108k down to 101k is a loss of 7k.

What if we lose another 7k? That would be 94k. What of another one and another one?

The market doesn't go down in a straight line — it messes around a lot.

There was a line I usually say, "In bullrun, the market goes down more than it goes up, but when it does go up, it's a 10-24% pump in a day or two. In a bear season, the market goes up more than it goes down, but when it does go down, it's an instant 10-24% dump in a day or two."

harry2sexy:
Never knew how emotion plays a crucial role in trading till i got into $Sol at 225$, set my TP at 10% profit, that is ≤250 and since last week and leverage of 10x, i have not even checked it.

Like i always say, people do not know how lucky they are to have you on this thread. Maybe crypto traders in 2045 may look for you to thank you just like Brainjotter did with that gwu gwu gwu man.

You have lectures for the future. Back to my Sol story. So i am not even afraid to loose the trade. I am even praying for a crash.

Understanding times and season is also very important and it's a topic you've talked about extensively and knowing that market will once day, go up by 10%, no matter how many times it dips, means I'll always break even if i am tired of waiting.

I'll be forever grateful to you for how you've simplified trading for me especially. Now, i don't just gamble away money like i used to do when i had no teacher.

You're very much appreciated. Now i am bored and don't want to trade, so playing ps3 and sipping some good liquor

Enjoyment.

I have stopped consuming 95% of Naija packaged edibles in liquid form. I feel the number of fake drinks and substances out there outweighs the original, hence my decision.

It's now fruit, vegetables, herb, normal African food and exercise. If I want highness with medicinal benefits, I put fresh weed in food as leaf. 🌿

Anyway, you're welcome and I bless your crypto journey with returns in the end.

When the market crashes or corrects, what do you do? Most of you panic just as I used to some years ago, but now it's different.

For me, I do this

1. I ask myself if BTC dropped at least -10% and if yes, did alts bleed 30-50%? And if yes, good.

2. I ask myself which season are we and what stage of the season? Relax year and BTC dominance season. Good.

3. Is the US Fed doing quantitative tightening, QT or quantitative easing, QE? Still QT? That's bad for most alts, but 50/50 for BTC.

4. After this, I'll check losers section of top 3 exchanges or sometimes, CoinMarketCap / Coingecko to see if the big boys are bleeding, the top 20-30. What about the gbasa queens? The newly launched bad tokenomics coins that were pumping as if they'll never dump. Did they finally dump? Yes, a lot! In summary, it feels like it's extended 5 green day stage 2 or 3 or worse, no green day (the bloodiest day). Great! So, which narrative is pumping or which is primed to pump next after weeks or months of consolidation? Is it gaming, RWA, Defi, AI, meme, layer 1, etc. With this in mind...

5. Newly added: I check Cryptorank dot io or Dropstab or one new one I'm still testing and sort by ATL date to see great coins with momentum that made new lows and I also sort with % from ATL to see the popular ones that have lost so much percentages and are vulnerable. This is why I don't call myself a trader, but an opportunist.

6. Now I have gathered them at their vulnerable states, analysed their charts to find strong support and resistance, chart pattern, if it has good 24hrs volume and tokenomics. It takes less than 3 minutes for this analysis — thanks to the filter I used before sorting. If I like what I found, it's time to enter a long trade and put a spot buy order at the range where I'll be liquidated, which is waaaay down.

7. Time to read news and watch crypto, stocks, currency-related YouTube videos in my feed to see what gurus and the news outlets are saying about the crash or corrections, what caused it and their projection of what may happen next. While watching the videos, I'll fall asleep. Man shall not live by crypto alone.

8. After 5-8 hours, I'll wake, that is, if one of my alerts don't wake me earlier than that. Now, it's time to dig deeper and research further if the trades I entered will be worth it in the long run or are there better coins to buy? I'll do the research all over again and make some adjustments. I'll check all the coins I have arranged alphabetically + by tokenomics and put in watchlists to see if any of them is ready during this time of market consolidation.

9. If the market keeps going down despite the previous heavy crash, it's time to deploy more of my multiple soldiers, exchanges, to fight the battle for me. In the end, a prepared man will always win — success can only be delayed.

10. Finally, no, let me keep this one for another day.

What is your routine? Panic sell and wait to FOMO when the market is green? I know that's what most do.

I wanted to talk about the importance of using light green as your green and dark green as your red + Heikin Ashi turning red as an indicator and how it helps us psychologically, but figured most of you are smart enough to know.

This man is funny. Bob and Christmas.

Those who hate futures trade, I'm not encouraging you to do it, but at least, use the demo version of Bybit to practice it. It's just too easy. For me, I went straight with real money because I didn't mind losing it. I wanted the experience of failure.

You'll do yourself lots of good if you master futures using that demo. When you do, and start playing with small real money, you won't have to wait for the 4 year cycle again.

Your only undoing will be your emotions and over leverage. Though, OL with a good strategy works too.

Make money both directions and you won't bother too much with altseason, which will be in full swing after December or Jan/Feb's crash.

Stage 2 of 5 green(blue) happened and I longed, but the one I take seriously is -10% or more in a day.

Binance is the most manipulative exchange and still the most trustworthy. They're fond of freezing the price of a coin whenever there is volatility or when it's expected.

Lemme go waste hours of my life on YouTube.

Robnectar:

Ignore him. He creates new accounts every week for same thing. He's probably doing same on different social media platforms. I'm the cause he acts the way he does towards me. Since I have been responding to him for years sending him card despite all the abuses he hurled on me, he's now entitled and I "must" do it.

"When you give someone something free the first time, you get appreciation. Give the second time, you create anticipation. A third time, you create expectation. A fourth time, you create entitlement and finally, when you refuse, wait for the abuse with their alternate accounts."

So, I brought it upon myself.

A week timeframe is like gold, followed by a month and a day. Four hours, one hour and five minutes are like the bodyguards. Master these 6 and you're on the right path.

Great long.

No matter how smart you are, you can never be perfect with everything in crypto. Most times, patience will favour you while other time, it'll hurt you.

Shorted at 108.1k and sold at 105.9k, then longed from there and sold at 107k and decided to stay out of trade. Woke this morning and noticed it went down to 103k.

If I had left the short of 108.1k, I would've been in a better profit.

In summary, nobody is happy in crypto. Even if you are, it's temporary except you control your emotions and learn how to remove profit to invest offline. Even if you leave with profit, realizing you would've made x10 if you had stayed will trigger sadness.

The only people I consider happy are those who buy only BTC or top 20 in buy year or maybe, buy more year, disappear for 2-3 years and come out to sell in No-DJ months of sell year. Rinse and repeat for the rest of their lives.

iLegendd:
I decided to play around by entering a short at 108.1k for fun and will be liquidated at 114.4k. At least, going for all our liquidations will help the market pump by tomorrow before a healthy dump correction.

I had to close my short at 105.9k and entered a long. That correction is for reinforcement against tomorrow.

Read this on Binance and started laughing.

That's what emotional trading causes. He is 60% right, but it's all emotions. He should work on it.

Prepare!

I like this calendar by Maven, but I needed something more detailed + voice alert with extra info and a page for Forex, Crypto and Stocks. Luckily, I found this one below as a great alternative.

With this Gazzuzz's death, it's wise to realize we should be happy we're alive instead of being sad our portfolios are down or we got liquidated.

This will help you become emotionally detached from money to promote good mental state of mind.

When you need money, but show no desperation for it, you get it faster because your emotion is under control.

Someone like VDM who behaves as if he doesn't need money gets it faster than those desperate Ashmushies and desperate influencers.

This post is not about Gazzuzz, but I just want to make a reference to how people will prefer to lose 1 billion and still be alive than the opposite.

With this, you've learned your life is more important than that money you lost, so be grateful for life even if you're living in poverty.

Also, your failures, when documented, with 1 big success = source of income for life. You become an instant motivational speaker many humans want to hear from.

People will buy and read your story. So, be wise and don't feel down because you lost $1, $100, $1,000, $100,000 or more.

Sometimes, you just need to trick your brain into accepting happiness in the midst of disaster over sadness.

Emotions can be controlled even when the feelings refuse to go. That control is all you need—let the feelings do whatever it wants; with time, it'll fade by itself. Speaking from experience.

May his soul rest in peace. His impact was felt in the auto section.

Lol, you still do this ?

Can I have $10,000 from you? The way you feel entitled to my life and what I do, I also want to feel entitled to your money.

Those 3 onions are 1k in Owerri!

I hardly doubt people. I guess it's because I feel everyone is always honest like me, but this one, even at gunpoint, I'll say it's a lie.

102k achieved 2 days ago. 105k achieved yesterday. 107k achieved today. 112k when?Maybe, the 18th of this month will determine the rest. Yes, I know 112k is eminent, but God knows a correction is the right thing.

Question 2:

Out of all you listed, which are the MOST important to BTC going up or down and how does it work?

GPT's Reply:

Here are the most critical factors influencing Bitcoin's (BTC) price movements, ranked by their impact, with explanations of how they work:

1. Federal Reserve (Fed) & Interest Rates

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin is highly sensitive to monetary policy, particularly in relation to interest rate changes.

When the Fed raises rates, risk assets (including BTC) become less attractive as higher yields in bonds and savings accounts draw capital away from speculative investments.

Conversely, rate cuts or dovish policies increase liquidity, making BTC more appealing as an alternative investment.

How It Works:

Rate hikes = Stronger USD → Risk-off sentiment → BTC falls.

Rate cuts = Weaker USD → Risk-on sentiment → BTC rises.

2. USD Index (DXY)

Why It Matters:

BTC often trades inversely to the US Dollar Index (DXY). A strong dollar reduces Bitcoin's purchasing power globally, while a weakening dollar drives demand for BTC as a hedge against inflation.

How It Works:

Rising DXY = Stronger USD → BTC becomes less attractive → BTC drops.

Falling DXY = Weaker USD → BTC viewed as an inflation hedge → BTC rises.

3. Inflation Indicators (CPI, PCE)

Why It Matters:

BTC is often marketed as a hedge against inflation. High inflation typically increases demand for Bitcoin as investors seek non-fiat assets. However, aggressive Fed tightening to combat inflation can simultaneously suppress BTC prices.

How It Works:

High inflation = Short-term BTC volatility depending on Fed response.

Controlled inflation = Risk-on environment → BTC rises.

4. Risk-On/Risk-Off Sentiment

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin is a high-risk, speculative asset. When markets are in a "risk-on" mode, investors allocate capital to BTC. During "risk-off" periods (e.g., recessions or crises), capital flows into safer assets like bonds and gold.

How It Works:

Risk-on = Capital flows to speculative assets → BTC rises.

Risk-off = Flight to safety → BTC drops.

5. M2 Money Supply

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin thrives in an environment of high liquidity. Expanding money supply (via QE or fiscal stimulus) typically increases market liquidity, boosting BTC prices. Tightening liquidity (QT) has the opposite effect.

How It Works:

Increasing M2 = More capital for speculative investments → BTC rises.

Decreasing M2 = Liquidity squeeze → BTC falls.

6. Bitcoin Dominance & Market Sentiment

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin dominance reflects how much of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization is captured by BTC. High dominance suggests investor confidence in BTC as a safer crypto asset, while low dominance signals riskier altcoin speculation.

How It Works:

Rising dominance = BTC perceived as strong → BTC rises.

Falling dominance = BTC underperforms → BTC struggles.

7. Stablecoin Liquidity (USDT/USDC Flow)

Why It Matters:

Stablecoins provide the primary on/off ramps for crypto markets. An increase in stablecoin market cap signals fresh liquidity entering crypto, often translating to BTC price increases.

How It Works:

More stablecoin supply = More funds ready to flow into BTC → BTC rises.

Declining stablecoin activity = Liquidity drain → BTC falls.

8. Mining Costs & Hash Rate

Why It Matters:

Mining costs set a price floor for Bitcoin. A rising hash rate or higher electricity costs increase miners' breakeven price, impacting their selling behavior.

How It Works:

Rising mining costs = Miners hold BTC to maintain profitability → BTC rises.

Falling mining costs = Miners sell BTC aggressively → BTC falls.

9. DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL)

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin often correlates with overall crypto adoption. High TVL in DeFi indicates confidence in the crypto ecosystem, indirectly boosting BTC demand.

How It Works:

Rising TVL = Positive sentiment across crypto → BTC rises.

Falling TVL = Weak sentiment → BTC struggles.

10. Geopolitical Risks

Why It Matters:

Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty, such as wars, sanctions, or trade tensions, particularly in regions with weak fiat systems.

How It Works:

Rising geopolitical tensions = Demand for BTC as a safe-haven asset → BTC rises.

Declining tensions = Risk appetite shifts to traditional assets → BTC drops.

Key Takeaway

BTC's price is influenced by a delicate interplay of macroeconomic factors. The Federal Reserve's policies (interest rates and liquidity) and the USD's strength are arguably the most significant drivers, as they dictate global risk sentiment and capital flow dynamics. Understanding these factors can help anticipate BTC’s directional trends.

Question 2:

Out of all you listed, which are the MOST important to BTC going up or down and how does it work?

From here, begin to query GPT and trust me, you'll learn A LOT!

Chikacha:
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I always enjoy reading your posts. Now I’m wondering when SUI will bottom out.

SUI will either make or break me by the next cycle.

The moment the tokenomics is in full circulation, currently at deficit of 7B (70%), it'll do wonders. It has a good chart, marketing, popularity, etc.

D111:
Bought not Brought

Thank you. Corrected the typo. I'll head back to school next week.

vulpeslopez:
Started this thread in SEPT from page 3202 and now I am HERE........Thanks to everybody for the Contributions.

With this kind of dedication, you're a winner. All you just need is action (if you haven't yet), some failures, some regrets, then lots of savings and patience as you gradually develop your strategy from experience.

Apcshyte:
Abeg too much yoruba language inside

Instead of butchering English, I prefer when people speak their language. How will you feel when a learned man says, "I lodged in 'an' hotel?"

Silentgroper:
I happen too like chewing onion raw too ..

It helps the brain connect some synapses faster. If you chew a big one, you'll feel a shift in your body immediately as tears of good health drop. Doctors recommend people should chew 1 onion per day. After chewing it, exercise and you'll avoid hospital.

The summary of my BTC bottom research of top 20 is:

During bear market, in buy year, some top 20 coins will bottom

1. 5 months before BTC (2-3 of them) or
2. 1-8 days before BTC (2-5 of them) or
3. same day as BTC (some of them) or
4. 2-8 days after BTC (2-7 of them)  or worse,
5. 1-9 months after BTC.

With this info, you'll realize at max of 9 months, after BTC had bottomed, top 20 alts have also bottomed.

So, make sure you've picked some alts from top 20 of that year, especially those that have survived at least 1 bear market in the past and leave the rest till end of JAS months July "August, Sept." of relax year or even No-DJ months of Nov., Dec./Jan. of relax/sell year.

But the king, BTC, will be the best bet to buy at the bottom and ride throughout those 3 years of dominance (where below top 20 alts continue to bleed) as everyone awaits the alt season.

This info seem ordinary, but it's something you should screenshot or save somewhere in your diary.

BNB, BCH, ADA, UNI, LINK, ALGO bottomed the same day as BTC.

DOT, AVAX, SOL prefers 1 month after BTC. Though, this metric is for 2022 bear market. Since it's their first cycle, we can't judge based on that.

ETH, DOGE, POL and XRP prefer 5 months before or same day or worse, 9 months later. They're inconsistent, but Eth, Doge and XRP have a lot in common during bear market.

All I just want you to remember is, 9 months after BTC had bottomed, the top 20 coins have bottomed too.

For future traders, you can long them at that point and put your stoploss at the price it bottomed or x2 lower that price incase of black swan.

Always have black swan in mind no matter how bullish the universe is and try to save some funds for that day.

If it doesn't happen, cool, but at least you hoped for the best and prepared for the worst. That's how to make it in crypto, else you'll be caught unaware.
