Bitcoin Forum

Before I start saying anything. Please know I am no expert but am here to get schooled and to learn!!

So was going to some crypto literature on another platform and came across this question!!
and to my knowledge, I guess the development and innovative progress itself are trends to look forward to..

like blockchain interoperability - I >:( got to know this because of Polkadot and Cosmos... but dont know much!
Increase in NFTs...
Ethereum 2.0

Am i right?

What's more?

Your discussion here is asking more of bitcoin importance to the generation, just as we have seen the widespread of cryptocurrency all over the world, but your eager to know more about bitcoin and other benefits in which it serves, there are many components concerning this to look on at, starting from it blockchain relationship which make it more acceptable by many, immutability, trust, privacy, and many other if you can search through the forum or google to learn more on this aspect, because they are part of the constitutes that make an increasing adoption on bitcoin acceptance.

Talking about trends, Ton Ecosystem is one of the top trends at the moment mainly because of the mini tap-to-earn games launched on Telegram and people are going crazy with them. Every game that launches starts gaining millions of users within a month or less which is huge and we have never seen this much digital attention before. So it's breaking records, obviously, and this is surely going to benefit the ecosystem a lot in the coming days.

Most projects these days know that if they begin their journey with Ton Ecosystem and launch a bot of some sort, they are going to get the necessary promotion that they need to kickstart their project and that promotion mainly is free because these projects collaborate and promote each other on their platforms and bots.

So, Ton Ecosystem is your answer for key trends in the cryptocurrency industry at the moment. Do your research about it and the projects launching in it, and see what interests you the most.

It seems like TON is becoming a hot topic in the market this year but it is not the main market trend, it is just a temporary trend and the hype around it will subside soon. The main market trend is still bitcoin and possibly ETH, the rest of the market is temporary and will disappear after each market cycle.

What the TON ecosystem has achieved so far are just simple games, and meme projects with the goal of attracting users and nothing else outstanding. I don't think their game projects or meme projects will be able to retain speculators for long. Therefore, spending a lot of time and money on the TON ecosystem is not a good idea when the market is still in the adjustment phase.

As a matter of fact, Bitcoin and Ethereum are not really in trend at the moment, but this two and some others have remained in our minds and lips because they are the major first movers as long as cryptocurrency is concerned.

When we talk about cryptocurrencies that are in the trend at the moment, your list can't be complete if you do not mention Ton coin; which is the utility token for the Ton blockchain and it's Ecosystem.

But then, regardless of what ever is trending, bitcoin will always remain at the top because it's not just the first mover, but also the pillar that holds the entire cryptocurrency market.

Thanks for sharing your insights!
Different opinions
And that's what makes these discussions so valuable.

I would say that if you try to find something beyond what you can easily spot, then there isn't anything you can profit from that easily, or at least nothing that you can learn from bitcointalk so you could invest.

I believe that the top names are the best ones because we know what we are talking about with them, and that's why it should not be all that easy to get something lower, would require a lot of time and dedication to it and I would say it is not going to be easy at all.

We need to figure out what we can do with what we have at the top names. I always suggested to make a big package of them all together, of course invest heavily into bitcoin first, but I pick like 10 more coins from top 20 and invest into those as well and then wait it out, just long term holding and keep purchasing whenever I am doing fine.

Like for example next month is literally my last bad month, I am going to be doing so much better financially hopefully, so I will invest heavily again. That's why things are going to be slow but it will definitely be profitable. If you look "beyond" what's in front of you, then you are going to miss out on the most profitable things that you could invest and that's not a good idea.

It is obvious that the old "bread and games" tactic still works - which is probably the most important thing in the whole story. It is an unquestionable fact that altcoins have a very limited duration, but also that they are constantly being replaced by new ones that still manage to attract the masses who, in the end, do not care about meaning and purpose, but only for the present moment.

The idea of a trend is something that is popular at that particular time, a trend usually is not meant to last long and very easily gets replaced by more current systems which appeals to the audience better. When NFT was the topic of discussion, it was the trend at that time, memecoins have also been the trend, Solana too and TON.

Bitcoin and ethereum are not trends, Bitcoin is not usually a hot topic except the price increases or there's something of note happening on the network. And unlike trend, it's not a topic that will subside after a while.

I believe we have bunch of key trends in cryptocurrency beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.  Aside from your stated blockchain interoperability, we have also the following:

• DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) (https://daostack.io/)
• Web3 and Decentralized Applications (dApps) (https://polkadot.network/)
• Cross-Chain Bridges (https://wormhole.com/)
• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) (https://zksync.io/)
• Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) (https://dcg.co/)
• Security Tokens and Compliance (https://www.securitize.io/)
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain Integration (https://fetch.ai/)
• Decentralized Identity (DID) (https://selfkey.org/)
• Regenerative Finance (ReFi) (https://www.regen.network/)
• Blockchain Gaming and Metaverse (https://www.sandbox.game/)

I believe these are a few of them and there are way more if we dig deeper into details.  But for now, I think AI integration and government regulation are some of the hottest key trend in the cryptocurrency space.

TON is big and this project already finds it's ways into Binance exchange, I believe this will make investors good amount of money and that's all we care about isn't it? The next trend in every altcoin season, once gains are secured to hell with what comes after, you want to make money? You have to follow the trend and the last time I checked TON Network is one of these new trends.

There is a huge interest in A.I right now and also Real world assets, with BlackRock involvement in crypto space and ETF here and there, AI and RWA will make some good gains for investors before the trend is no more.

Being listed on Binance does not mean it is good or will continue to survive next months or years?

Binance list and delist many tokens, not only TON.

Some top projects like Terra, FTX exchange collapsed two years ago in 2022 and we will see more tokens listed on Binance have serious loss in 2026 and 2027. I don't discuss about chance to get profit with TON, next months and years, the warning is general for altcoins.

Don't think one altcoin project is good if it gets a listing on Binance.

AI is a hype trend and how many people lost with AI tokens recent months?

AI trend is like other trends, it will die soon but I don't comment seriously about death of AI and AI trend. It's more important to emphasize that if people spend money to purchase any token because of a rising trend, luckily enough they can get profit in short term but if they join in ending phase of a trend, they will have big risk to end with serious loss.

If it doesn't find way to get itself listed on binance and other popular exchanges how do you think it's going to get massive attraction from investors?

Something about humans is as though some of us have short memories about pain that when observing the millions of attention these tokens are receiving in a flash, you'll  marvel if these were same people that got their funds cooked by similar projects like the Terra and FTX you mentioned.

The Ton ecosystem trend is nothing but a momentary fever that's going to lose attraction just like other ones before it, sooner than later it's going to dissipate as a result of how a lot of them  will fail to deliver on their promises either deliberately or the other way round.

Bitcoin = sustainability.

Blockchains claim to have blockchain interoperability but they use centralized bridges and wrapped tokens which means that blockchain interoperability, WEB 3 and the terms associated with them are not real projects but rather an attempt to convince investors that some altcoin is good and offers solutions. Trends revolve around TON memecoins layer3 and solana and the ideas or platforms associated with them.

If you are into Bitcoin then you are on the wrong board. Bitcoin is everything but it is not reachable as a whole 1BTC to a common individual now. It was earlier when the price was not that much but since we missed the opportunity we need alternate solution to get Bitcoin.

It is a know fact that using altcoins as a source of income and then converting those altcoins as Bitcoin is the easiest and fastest way to accumulate the coin. Keeping in mind that idea I feel after Solana network the TON network is getting more exposure from the developers.

I don't know how long they will survive but what you have said earlier was said about Solana network. Currently the hype surrounding both the networks can help you to gain free coins that can help you to get more satoshis and ultimately help anyone getting near to 1BTC.

What are the key trends in cryptocurrency beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum? if you are looking for trend than social media like X is way way better than anything in my opinion the news there is spreading fast even rate decision made my the fed is only a second from the ann to get into X platform or you called a twitter.

But if you want to learn more about crytpo space whiteboard crypto from the youtube or binance academy can help you https://academy.binance.com/en

Blockchain is decentralized, it is not controlled by any organization, but anyone who has a link contributes to it because it is a Google Doc. Blockchain makes Bitcoin trustworthy and secure and adds transaction blocks between the two. In the cryptocurrency world, Bitcoin reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions through the blockchain, Bitcoin mining represents a new connection to the blockchain, albeit a difficult one.

 Recent transactions are added to the blockchain to create new coins, Okoro said.
 But Bitcoin miners take a reward for keeping their run as proof, so I think you should think and plan…….

I have been reading about AI projects since 2017, mostly claiming at that time that thanks to Artificial Intelligence they'd be able to trade effectively in order to earn sustained gains over time, which never happen because all coins (but stablecoins) are cycle dependent.

Now there is a renewed interest because of all the hype by Elon etc. but do we really need a specific crypto for AI? can't AI work with Bitcoin or Ethereum, or any other crypto? I haven't done my own research on the new AI coins but I'm sure that they are mainly pump and dumps, although I can be wrong.

My conclusion is that it is just another trick to deceive naive people, because as AI coins they should be better (more successful) because they are managed by artificial intelligence. Realistically speaking, you can sell such a story to all those who are so fascinated with AI that they will believe even if someone tells them that AI can predict lottery numbers, you just have to try every day (probably for the rest of your life).

People are looking for something new in the world of cryptocurrencies, but they are not interested in the meaning or purpose of any cryptocurrency, but only how to buy it super cheap and possibly earn a lot of money.

You can't go wrong with Ton Blockchain, Avalanche and Solana, there are few others that aren't layer 1 and 2 like meme coins and AI projects, you just have to diversify your portfolio, you don't need to buy everything that others are buying, I have my hands in every niche in crypto space, DeFi, AI, gaming and many others, most times it's harder to predict which niche will do well but having them all keeps you in a better place.

I don't want to be a critics because i have used the TON network and tit wasn't designed for speed at all. My transaction was confirmed late and ever since then i don't bother use the network. Alhotugh the fees are low if not closed to no charge making the network more open to spammers and scammers using the network.

Its best if we just foucs on Bitcoin and stop roaming about looking for cheap but risky projects that we would follow the trend and hype. At the end of the day we wont gain anything good.

In the case of lottery, and I think it can be also applied to the management you talked about, the thing is that, at least afaik nowadays, AI works with what we could call "past results", which is of no utility when it comes to predict future numbers.

AI "thinks" that past results that happened more often have more chances to happen again, and that's not true. If that's how the so-called AI cryptos work, I agree that they must be designed more to deceive naive people than to build the next big thing.

I think Ton Ecosystem is big deal in crypto right now because of its fun tap to earn games on Telegram. Lots of people are joining millions in just a month. This shows how much potential ecosystem has. Projects within Ton Ecosystem work together and promote each other which helps build community and gets more people involved. This helps new projects grow without spending a lot on marketing. As Ton Ecosystem keeps growing and getting attention it is worth checking out new projects coming up. Ton Ecosystem is major trend in crypto because of its unique approach and huge success. But there is some drawbacks too. In mini apps we can see mostly are now scamming they are just earning with buying options with YouTube and many other ways they have. If they will continue this so in future people will not trust and this will not good for Ton Ecosystem.

Maybe you are right, maybe not, time will tell - but most of such projects are short-lived, and they are usually overshadowed by something new and much more brilliant than themselves - and the tragedy is that behind most of these projects are the same people who even in some situations consciously "kill" old projects in order to be more successful with new ones. If you know when is the right time to enter and exit, there is no doubt that you can profit.

So far, AI works under limited conditions (at least this official version), but even the US admits that China has far more powerful AI systems than what exists in the West - and it seems to me that AI has been released into the "wild" for some time and that it is actually impossible to detect.

The fact that it occurred to some people to combine AI and crypto is probably a logical sequence of events - there will always be those to whom you can sell such things, no matter how pointless they are.

To be honest, millions are just joining with those telegram projects or those projects that are into the TON ecosystem because of the potential airdrop that these projects will have. If it's not about the free money that they will distribute which has spread and started through notcoin and now with dogs, there won't be that much user that will be patient playing and tapping all of those things into their smartphones.

I admire this but this doesn't only happen into the ton ecosystem, this is happening to every chain as it's helping each other to their branding.

I won't say huge success. Telegram is successful for having that huge number of users but it's different with TON ecosystem or chain, I won't say that it's already a huge success just after notcoin, it's just the start and remember that trends don't last long.
