I was in a conference about a year ago when the speaker talking about ordinals mentioned that there are 3 "Bitcoins". They are the token, the Network, and the Meme (or the public perception). According to the speaker, he said that ordinals wouldn’t harm the first two, but would definitely harm the public perception of Bitcoin, and that this would become an attack vector we as Bitcoiners needed to prepare for. And what is happening is now is exactly what the speaker predicted. It is time we know who the real bitcoiners are and not those who have been latching on to take advantage of the network.

This is next-level bragging! Well played. Since it is in the Bitcoin blockchain, and this is a new protocol that is using the Bitcoin blockchain.
What they did is amazing and expensive, there could be some PR on this new protocol.
It seems this is a competitor or Ordinals (BRC20) and I am curious if this could affect the Bitcoin network stability, like high transaction fees.

I bought a point down with my OKC spread (-7.5), it might not matter as much, but it's better to be safe against the best road team.

With or without Zion i'll always ride with OKC, thinking they'd be one of the toughest teams to beat at home.

The under is also tempting to bet on the playoffs, but after watching the Celtics game it's tough knowing the other team can start fouling or push the pace to hit the over.

It has been a good ride for Bitcoin before then halving and now that it is done with, the momentum seems to have gone down, and as we all know, after the Bitcoin Rally, altcoins react to it. Do you think the rally of altcoins will start now or we should continue with our trades like nothing happened?

Is it? What if some of the people who purchased Bitcoin at the same time frame are people who want to invest for the long run but that’s when they decided to enter the market? I’m not sure if there’s a way to get the short term holders because they don’t have a difference from those who buy for long term, the only difference is their will (in their mind) to not hodl for long.

In life, leverage is good as it helps to help us accomplish a goal faster. But in trading, leverage in trading is clearly a bad deal. It messes things up for both the traders and the market. So my question is why do exchanges still offer them. They keep pushing it to traders like favourite snack?

With the current transaction fee we are having, one can still manage to have between $3 to $7 as minimum transaction fee while you can as well discover some periods whereby you make use of amounts lower to these, it all depends on how the mempool state is as at that time, but anything below $10 as cost for transaction fee should be something we can be able to afford and pay, other networks charges more than that in this same cryptocurrency.

- Practice demo trading, although not all traders started with Demo trading because some traders actually could handle the risk of loosing.
- Be consistent, and to encourage or learn consistency, you can start a 21 days trading challenge with a fellow newbie trader, or a trading challenge for as long as you want. If you do a challenge with someone, the person can encourage you when you feel like quitting from the challenge due to failed analysis or other reasons.

I've always held the belief that Memecoins could potentially harm new investors in cryptocurrencies, leading them to feel discouraged after getting burned and thinking that the entire crypto market is volatile. However, my friends are all aware of the risks and only invest small amounts, treating it more like a game that eventually leads them to explore more substantial projects.

While I'm still not a supporter of Memecoins, I'm open to hearing other opinions.

I actually think that is Solana’s place; right after BNB. I don’t think Solana is gone, and I wonder why someone thinks that. Let’s not forget that attention is divided and there are many projects people could invest their money in. That’s one of the problems with altcoins today. Every day more is created and it’s harder to focus on the really worthy ones. But Solana is doing really fine.

I can't even imagine how it must feel to go to bed having a million dollars in your account and waking up to having nothing as all of it is gone, it's lost. This is a classic example of why one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.

Have you explored such opportunities before? Feel free to share your experiences.

I will just go direct to your question in the OP,  trading is not for everyone because if you trade without necessary knowledge required to know the right signals to follow and how to understand the market very well, you can run into so many losses, so it is for people that have gotten comprehensive knowledge of how trading works that is expected to trade although there is no expert in trading but there are experienced people that knows how to trade. I know how many times I tried learning how to trade but every thing was just looking so scanty in my brain like I couldn't comprehend anything so I stopped developing interest for trading.

I'm sure not all traders will agree with me but some could possibly be on my side...

Here are the reasons why;
 1. It is quite stressful - old traders will soon give up due to mental health problems
 2. It is not enjoyable anymore - nobody will stay long in a job that they no longer find themselves comfortable with especially if you are not earning well.
      Most of the time we feel this during bear season.
 3. Trust issue due to Scam growth - traders never find it safe to use exchanges, even big exchanges.

Not impossible.
We're 60% already on it and there's got to be a slow moving until we reach $70k back and $80k. The year is still long and we're still on the 2nd quarter so there's more to this year as this is the halving year. If it won't be reached by this year and put that hope on 2025 as what many are saying that it's likely the time that we're going to see that the market will peak on this particular bull run.
