It is in their best interest to work together so I have to side with you when it comes to this speculation. Don't be scared with this whales though, yes they are not your friend but you should know that there will always be an exploit that can be abused, always find positive in negative situations right? Why should we track their movements? Even if we do track their movements, what can we do about it anyway? If they create an alliance then we will call it a monopoly and the prices will be stabilized although the pumps and dumps will be unfavorable for individual investors.

If I have that kind of money, I will be spending some money to get all of your nonsense post deleted in this forum and while we were at it, I think that I will also hunt the trolls and alts that are posting the same nonsense. I do not mind not making another 100 billion, if cleaning this forum of nonsensical and hypothetical post will be enough of an achievement. Most of the replies are ambitious which makes sense if you have the money. Back to the topic of how to spend it, I would just go buy an rest house in a tropical country and live there till the day I die.
It is within your willpower that you will change as a person, if you become a worse version of yourself then it is your fault not the money. Also I saw this line in the movie Parasite, money does not change people, they only show what a person really is. It is not the exact words but you will get the gist of it.

I want to humor OP's question because I think OP doesn't know who Putin is. It may look like Putin is using everything at his disposal but you will never mess with an old man who works at a job were men die young. Vladimir Putin is a spy for USSR before becoming the President of Russia, and before that he is also the head of FSB(Sort of KGB) at the time of Boris Yeltsin. If you do not get the gist of what I just explained OP, then to make it clear, I am rooting for Putin in this hypothetical fight.

There was a actually a concept done by some programmer that became a member of Cicada 3301. It is an escrow type of program that is transmitted across servers from different countries if the author of the article does not log in to the program which is then published around the world, the target users of this program were whistleblowers and journalists that are living in countries that have a backwards policy and no freedom of speech, it didn't gain traction but it was a good concept. If you want to create a platform, I think that you should just download Tails OS because that is the primary use of that one.

OP has fallen for it three times and I do not think that this will be the last time that OP will get scammed. I had a good laugh reading OP because the fact that a 30% did not seem to raise some questions on the legitimacy of the scheme. The first time should have been the last time that you have fallen for it because that is how some of this scams work, they say they want you to send money and then they will say it was not sent so you need to send another which is illogical in the first place. I know that your time was also wasted but next time try to do some research and ask some questions on this board before doing anything.

That is just one trait that makes bankers the real evil that needs to be exterminated in this God forsaken world. A principle that bends depending on how much profit they can get, bullshit morals that prioritizes their institutions instead of the welfare of the people, a gaslighting advertisement campaign that makes people docile and tamed and many other evil traits, I could go on but I think I will only highlight some. This dude doing a 180 on his opinion is an evidence that institutional investors like him will be the demise of many cryptocurrencies because they will definitely want this untamed power.

It is not cryptocurrency that will make you rich, it is you the one that will use it will be the one to make that happen. The opening of economy shouldn't be the problem of the individuals, it is the problem of the government, if they put that blame on you as an individual then you need to evaluate your decisions on who are you voting for during the elections. If you do not risk something to make a better life for yourself and loved ones then you do not deserve to prosper.

This sounds pretty dystopian, I do observe this kind of situation in my country too. I think that the reason for the people submitting to the will of the system and being another cog in the clockwork is because we are conditioned to the point that we can't truly exist without spending money and depending on this archaic institutions, our education system did not teach us what we will encounter when we become adults, they created organic machines that is smart enough to do the paper work and passively submit to crony power. Hopefully, this will all change with cryptocurrency and new generation of thinkers.

You also have to consider the lost coins because there seems to be a lot floating around the void never to be seen again.
Not all bubbles burst really fast, considering the waves in the bitcoin market back then with all the sharp turns and curves, I think that in a way it is a bubble.

Those things that you have mentioned will still be far from happening. Pornography industry is a very specific sector of Internet so I do not think that a lot can happen when they are putting crypto as part of their payment system. This will be favorable to the people that do not want a pornographic website taint their transaction history.

This quote is the most sounding option for anyone that is still confused including OP. Bitcoin is still considered by some as an asset so it is in your best interest to buy and hodl and get your profits when the time comes. Making a lot of income streams is the best course of action, if you have the resolve and determination to do a lot of work.

That's really dirty but I do have to agree with you, satoshi even said that. The articles though, they are more of an hindsight for many of us because we never knew that it will reach this height in the first place, our best predicted peak was 20k but we have reached a double number. The only way I know that works for safekeeping my coins is to have a cold wallet that is inside a case together with a paper with the passwords written on it.

Me too, I do not see the point of keeping tabs on people that have a x>=1 bitcoin in their wallet, that is like asking strangers what is the amount of money that they have in their bank account, which is pretty embarrassing.

I think the only thing that will drive the price to that point is a massive chunk of the capped supply is lost, my estimate would be around 75% of the capped supply will be lost before that kind of price happens which is impossible because more people that are involved in bitcoin are more careful with their private keys and their wallet so it will be unlikely that that kind of loss is possible. Maybe a war that would drive down cyber infrastructures could damage the supply.

Kudos to their prediction but I do not think that alone is enough to call them analyst, a lot of people say things about the prices and the events that are happening and there are other people that have the same opinion although they vary if they ask the prices. If they really are a good analyst, shouldn't they be more confident about their predictions, @guigui371 seems to have no idea. Maybe the better word for it is predictor rather than analyst.

If you have been hodling around the 10k price point, I think that it is best that you harvest the bounty that you deserve for your patience. Constant hodling wouldn't get you nowhere but FOMO, remember that prices could go down and this is your chance to get a more than decent profit from your bitcoin. Buying at this moment with the current prices for long term is a good thing but remember to take out the other bitcoin that have been sitting there before buying a new one.

If that price peak is reached, it will be unpredictable but if the next halving did not have the same result as what happened in 2020, then that means that we had reached the Mt. Everest of bitcoin market. If they cycle happens as the quote says then that means that the growth is exponential and predictable which means that more people will only get in the train and more FOMO testimonies will be posted in this forum more than ever.

It will bounce back, when the vaccines hit their target number of population. The rate of inflation will go up but I think with more people investing the money back to financial institutions at this time of pandemic, I do think that it will not hurt them. Remember that USA is the brainchild of capitalist pigs so they will do everything in their power to make the printing still sustainable.

That's harsh but a needed statement to be honest, there are a lot of this radical members that put sensational nonsense. Regards to prosperity, I don't think that having a down in prosperity is not a good thing, as much as possible it should a straight line.
Thanks to inflation, the value of commodities increase overtime which is a good thing because a maintained inflation is a symbol or indicator of a prosperous economy. The only problem that it faces is that companies are reluctant to increase the minimum wages when the price of commodity increase which is counterintuitive in making the economy prosper.
I was dumbfounded by that advice too, first rule in investing is to not put all your eggs in one basket and there is someone that does the opposite, obviously it is a gamble but considering that there are some that got lucky I think that it seems reasonable, if you want to be a homeless bum for awhile, I think this advice will be a good thing to follow.

It is the X Factor in these economy puzzle, with more vaccinated population means that the workers are safe and can do their usual routine of going to work like there is no pandemic. The only problem with vaccinations is the logistics, which is a tricky problem to solve for some countries that have poor roads. The new strain is closely related to the older one and I think that once someone is vaccinated, it will not be a problem.
