I don't know the exact reason, but it's best for him not to do it.
He's kind of almost the same as what McAfee did in the past. The only difference is that, McAfee back in the days is promoting new projects while Musk is "indirectly" promoting established altcoins.

I guess it's good for him not to post anything related to cryptocurrency or include a project on his post because he's kind of like pumping and dumping the coin like what happened to DOGE a few years ago where he continuously post anything about the project, and it's price went up significantly, and because of that, many made profits, but most lost their money because of him. Been told not to support any coin? I don't think so. He believes in "freedom of speech" and I don't think that somebody will dictate him not to support any coin. He don't tweet anymore because maybe he don't want to involve himself anymore with crypto.

Overall, I think it's a good move by him not to make any tweet that's related to crypto because let's face it, while many will make profits because of his tweet, many will also lose their money because of FOMO.

Bitcoin will go towards $100K 100%.
That massive dip that happened few weeks ago might be the final dip before the market goes up significantly. That dip gave us another opportunity to accumulate even more Bitcoins as well as other altcoins at a lower price.

I don't see Bitcoin going down to as low as $50,000 at least this year, and with the sentiment being bullish, it's more realistic that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 for the first time ever. Of course, I might be wrong though, but basing on history, the year where the halving event happens is most of the time a bullish year, so I expect the same for 2024, and will be the same for 2025 before we enter the bear market in 2026.

I also believe that Bitcoin will only reach $50,000 price again in 2026 when we enter the bear market.

Meme coins might be a very risky investment, but I still believe that it isn't ruining "everything"

Meme coins are always being created under a particular blockchain meaning that increases the day-to-day transaction under that blockchain which is a good thing. I know that most of the meme coins right now will come and go, but there are still benefits of meme coins especially for those who got huge profits into it already. Well as for the gas fees, I believe that the Dencun upgrade of Ethereum focuses on the gas fees of other L2 networks, and while not all are affected by it, the most popular ones are like Polygon, Optimism, and I believe even zkSync.

There's no such thing as "forever hype" when it comes to crypto. P2E got it's hype way back in 2021, and it went down as the months pass by. Same with Meme coins way back a few years ago. Now the meme coin is getting hyped again. Most new meme coins will pump in price, but in the next months, it's price might go down even though we are in a bull run. I believe that meme cons will be fine. I mean we've seen meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, FLOKI, PEPE, and others that are becoming more popular, and the crypto space is working just fine. Meme coins are here to stay that's for sure.

After 25 years, he will be 57 years old already. We aren't sure if he will serve the full 25 years because as much as we hate SBF, there might be a chance that he will go out earlier because of "good behavior".

This is also the reason why I think 25 years is too short considering that the initial number of years that he will be in jail was around 100+ years. The once billionaire turned into a fraudster. Well, he's been called a billionaire because he is holding a huge amount of money that came from different investors of his project. The sentence has been given, and I don't hope for the best for him, but I do hope that he will pay those investors who lost their money, and when I mean pay, they will be paid in full.

Scam Bankrupt-Fraud's reputation has been destroyed already and even when he goes out of jail, I doubt that there will still be people who will trust him just in case he creates a new crypto project again. Overall, I feel worried to those investors who lost their money investing into the project. Some of them even put their life savings into it which is not advisable but still, there are some who are doing it.

There are some unpopular websites who are continuously posting articles regarding Pi Network, and because of this, I'm already thinking that they paid these websites just to promote the project where in fact, it's been years since this project has been introduced to the public and yet, there is no Mainnet launching whatever.

People are hoping that the coin that they're "MINING" for free on their phone would give them huge money. TBH, there's no free money at all, and if there is at least you need to spend a few bucks in order to get a token worth hundreds of dollars (airdrops). Mining with your phone, and do nothing? Does that even exist at all? Nah, I don't think so. The last project that did the same thing was Electroneum way back in 2018, but it wasn't sustainable at all hence, they stopped the free money through mining on their app.

Is this a scam? Well, many are saying that it's a scam (including me), but it will not be a scam unless it will become one. After all, the project isn't asking for money from investors. What they're asking only is personal information to continue mining on their app (KYC). The project has been full of hype ever since 2021, and it has been until now. Well, the token isn't up until now, and I don't think that it will, but this is the project that I will avoid for sure.

Well, I guess I can assume that you're a hardcore gambler, eh.

Instead of investing all of your gambling funds into a top coin like Bitcoin or Ethereum, you choose to invest it into meme coins and other risky coins out there. Well, it's kind of a gambling like you said, but I guess your chances of winning when you're investing instead of just gambling your funds is a bit higher.

I guess you know the risks of it already, so good luck with your investment journey, and I hope that you will get profits in your meme coin investment. Meme coins are very risky for me, that I don't want to put so much money into it. You said that you're a gambler as well and it seems that you don't want to invest into top coins because of the lower potential profits. Maybe can you share the meme coins that you're planning to invest your money with.

Murray transformed into "Kobe Bryant" (RIP) on that game. Scoring 44 points in 45 shots, and hitting the game winner to upset the Celtics not once, but twice.
Now the problem with the Celtics is slowly appearing. They don't have somebody that can make better decisions at the end of the game. TBH, with this lose, I'm starting to have doubts with the Celtics right now. I mean how they can lose twice to an undermanned Hawks? How they can compete in the playoffs if they play like this.

As for the Knicks, they are only 1.5 games behind the Bucks, and they don't even have Anunoby and Randle on the team because of injuries. I guess it's good that Hart, and DiVicenzo started to step up offensively. In times Brunson needed help on offense, these 2 players stepped up. Credits to Coach Thibs. I hope that both of them will play like this during the playoffs as well.

---

I just want to bring up how the LA Clippers are in a doom even though they're in the 4th spot. Just so you know, the Clippers are 1-9 against playoff teams since Feb. 6th. In their 10 remaining games, 6 of those are against playoff teams. They are only 0.5 games above the 5th seeded Pelicans, and only 2.5 games above the Suns. If the so-called "Clippers curse" continues, they might be in trouble. I just hope that their lose streak against playoff teams will be over because they need to have a better standing come playoffs.

I guess we can all stay that the top 3 spots from the West will be a fight between Denver, Oklahoma City, and Minnesota.

NO.
It will not happen.

The upside for Bitcoin is way lesser than altcoins. Some altcoins can go x3 or even x4 during the bull run, but Bitcoin alongside Ethereum will only have at most x2. In short, my prediction with Bitcoin's peak price this bull run will be at around $140,000-$150,000. I don't see Bitcoin hitting the $400,000 price at least during this bull run. Maybe in the future bull runs.

Well, this can be a good time to buy still, but the perfect time was during the bear market where everything is on a discount. Now, the market has went up x2 already, and people who risked their money and bought coins when the market is down are the ones who are sitting with a huge profit currently.

Triple your money if you buy this time? Maybe if you will buy lower market cap altcoins because they tend to multiply even more compare to those who has a higher market cap. You can triple your money maybe if you will buy coins that are outside the top 100 in terms of market cap. If you will buy Bitcoin or Ethereum, you can only double your money at most.

At least you know the term "gender equality" right? I'm not a businessman, but is gender more important than skills, and attitudes already?
Well, to answer your question, I will trust who's more trustworthy, and who's more skillful between the two, and I will not base on the gender at all.

Is there any business out there who is basing more on the gender rather than their skills? Because if there is then I hope that their HR will be replaced immediately. Let's not discriminate people here because let's be honest. In a company, both men and women can handle job just fine. It will all depend on how good they are at the position they are applying at. Men or women doesn't matter. Skills, and attitudes matters even more.

Let's not spread discrimination here.

"Bitcoin staking" isn't applicable on Bitcoin because it's a POW and now a POS.
However, you can earn Bitcoin through different exchanges. There are some exchanges like Binance that are offering a certain % for those who will store, and keep their Bitcoins on their exchange.

Is this recommendable? No, because like what others are saying, it's never safe to store your assets on exchanges unless you're selling it. Storing it on an exchange for a long time could cause you losses. If you want to earn more using your Bitcoin, why not just buy other staking reward tokens like ETH, ADA, DOT, ATOM, and many more.

Beware OP as well because there might be some users here lurking, will try to PM you, and will attempt to scam you.

Welcome to America. Where people will act like they did not do anything. Where people will act like their son/daughter/relative didn't do anything against other people.
Kidding aside, both of his parents are experts, and correct me but one of them or both of them are lawyers but nevertheless, they can say that they will continue to fight for their son, but it has been served already.

Justice has been served? For 25 years, I think that it wasn't enough, but it's the judge's decision so.. I guess those who lost their money in the FTX fiasco must accept it. The question is when they will start to pay the $11 Billion dollar forfeiture that will be paid to those investors. Now that a crypto project owner has been sentenced to jail because of his fraudulent activities, I hope that this will create a domino effect towards other projects and will think twice if they will try and do what FTX also did or not. I mean we've seen Celsius, Gemini, Bitconnect way back 2018 and now FTX. I hope that there will be less and less scenarios like this that will happen in the future.

25 years for me isn't enough, but as long as the investors who lost their money will be repaid then it's all good.

You're a new trader? This is my advice. Don't trade at all.
Just kidding obviously.

Your 100$ will be lost that's for sure. It's like "You spent 100$ for additional trading experience", and it's worth it "ONLY" if you continue trading. Watching YouTube videos will help you, but it will not help you mold yourself to a point that you will become a good trader. Yes you can learn Technical Analysis on YouTube, but the thing is, it doesn't teach you how to control yourself or be patient. If you really want to trade, expect that you will spend money in learning just the basics of trading. I don't know if that's the case to everyone, but for me, I lost dollars when I was starting to trade just to learn.

My advice? Don't expect too much knowing that you're still a newbie, but expect that your 100$ will be lost since this is your first time. Just continue trading if you want to pursue it, keep some capital, learn with your experiences, and learn TA as well.

Yes, and I will continue to buy altcoins until the Bitcoin halving happens.

I believe that a few weeks after the halving event, we will see the whole crypto market starting to go up in price already like what it is doing in the past 2 cycles. At that time, it still is a good time to buy, but your profit is much lower already. At the end of the day, we have different strategies, but as long as we get profit in our investment then it's all good. Some prefer going all in and buying during the bear market, and will be patiently waiting for the bull run to happen then they'll sell during that time.

Some might buy at the start of the bull market still, and end up getting profit depending on when they will sell, but there will be some investors who are a bit unfortunate to loss money during the bear market because they will be FOMOed, and most of them are newbie investors. Investing in altcoins is more risky but very exciting because you can at least double or even triple your money because it's more volatile than Bitcoin.

In the last 2 years, the Celtics have been one step away from getting that title, but come up losing in the end.

In 2022, they've reached the NBA Finals, but lost miserably to the Warriors in 6 games. Last season, they're only one win away from facing the Nuggets in the NBA Finals, but just because of an injury early in the game, that changed everything and lost in Game 7 by a huge margin. I just hope that this year will be the year for them. The expectations are way beyond for this team, and I hope that they will really reach the NBA Finals. They might be a dominant team in the regular season, but like I always said, one injury from an all-star can change everything, and it happened to them last year. Just look at the Bucks last season. They're the best example of "being a dominant team in the regular season" but got eliminated in the first round by the Heat.

Correct me, but I think that the Suns are 0-3 against them this regular season.
What I remember is that, their 2nd game is also a close one as well, and it's the same as this one. With this loss by the Phoenix, they're again on the play-in tournament spot (8th and tied with the Kings).

You know what's worse? Their remaining 10 games are against teams that are fighting for a spot. No eliminated teams. Just playoff teams. 2x against Minnesota, New Orleans, Clippers, and the rest are against Denver, Cleveland, Sacramento and Oklahoma City. TBH, I have a bad feeling about this, and they might even drop down to the 9th spot knowing that the Lakers are on a winning streak again. 

There's no specific time on when it will last, and no one can tell when it will happen.

Narrative you mean hype right? Because if that's the case then it can happen anytime. Remember when Elon Musk just promoted DOGE out of nowhere? Nobody expected it to happen. The meme coin narrative right now is kind of expected though since Solana has been the most popular coin on the internet for the past months, and because of this, there are many meme coins that are being created and unsurprisingly, some of them pumped up in price already.

On the other hand, this is the reason why I don't recommend buying, and holding meme coins for a long period of time. It's because most of these meme coins are very risky because of how it's price pumps. Most of them have no use-case at all, and most of them are purely driven by hype. When the hype is gone, only a few of them will survive, and most will fall leaving the investors with a huge amount of losses. Overall, the narratives around meme coins has no specific time frame, but if you want to invest on it, just beware as always.

Time management is a skill trust me, and I didn't know how to master it until I tried to do many things in a day.
Imagine me working 8 hours from my day job, then spending at most 3 hours in this forum, then spending another 3 hours playing my favorite MMORPG game (PokeMMO), 4 hours spending time with my family then 6 hours sleep. That's my daily routine, and of course everything can change like I give some time to exercise or going out, etc.

Sometimes, you need to make some adjustments with what you're doing daily. Give time to what gives you the most money. If your offline work gives you more income than your online work, focus on it first, then if you feel that you have some free time to work online then do it. Which work gives you the most income? Your work as an interior decorator, or your work online (whatever it is)? Anyway, pardon me with this one, but I just don't want people who only come when Bitcoin's price is increasing. I mean you can just give at least a few minutes of your time visiting the market, or at least keep yourself updated with the crypto market right? Why re-join when it's going up in price only? What if it goes down again? You will be out again?

Anyway, work balance is really hard at first, but like I said, focus on ones that will give you the most income. Maximize your time, and sometimes, sacrificing something in order to be productive in the other one is a good decision to make as well.

We both have the same question. Why?

It's just a junk of pixels that are put together to form a picture. I still remember somebody from I think Indonesia where he minted his own pictures as an NFT, and to my surprise, those pictures of him sold for ETH. I don't know the exact amount of ETH he got at that time, but at least he got a minimum of 10. Just imagine, anybody can just create their own JPEGs and JPGs and then sell it to anybody who thinks that it has a value.

Speaking of value, I guess I look at these JPEGs and JPGs as just pictures with no values at all, but as long as there is somebody that thinks that it has a value then he will definitely buy it. For me, these pictures are just worthless... or at least not worth an Ethereum or whatever, but no monetary value. Most of them are just scams trying to lure people to invest into their junk JPEGs.

Chance? Like an RNG in a MMORPG game isn't it? You think merit is like you getting the most expensive item in a game, but this time, it's in the form or merits.
Lengthy article? Hmmmm, I might posted some lengthy posts, but not a lengthy article.

It's just me being me. I guess this is the reason why I got some merits though it took me a long time to rank up to Legendary since I'm just an average poster here, and I'm not like the expert ones who are hoarding merits. Kidding aside, I guess being "consistent" is one of the ways for somebody to earn merit, but I've seen users here who are consistently posting here, but they are just spamming. Patience? I don't think so. Just be yourself. Share what you know about a particular topic, and just be constructive with it. That's the key.

Don't get discouraged by your Jr. Member rank OP. Learn more, and share it here. For sure, you will get merits along the way. The more knowledge you know, the more constructive your posts are, and the more constructive your posts, the higher the chance that the high rank members and merit sources will give you merits. Good Luck OP.

Well, I'm a Warrior fan, and I will also say that the dynasty is over already.

The dynasty gave the Warriors 4 titles so, I guess that's a huge achievement for them already. Small ball set-up still works, but with the current rosters of the team today, it's hard, and the Warriors had a small line-up, but their offense is one of the best a few years ago, and Green is their best defender at that time, and he's an excellent defender of the paint that's why it worked for them.

Currently, the remaining games of the Rockets are somewhat better than that of the Warriors, and as much as I want the Warriors to at least stay on that 10th spot, it seems like their chances of staying on that spot is slowly withering away, and the Rockets are coming to take it. Right now, the Rockets have the momentum with their winning streak while the Warriors on the other hand, is on a losing streak. I hope that they will recover from this slump, and gain some momentum again with only 12 games remaining.

Taxes?
You want to avoid taxes? Borrow money. Use debt. Well, that's what Kiyosaki is doing that's why he's not paying any taxes, so does other rich businessmen in the US. Many average people are angry at them because the rich aren't paying taxes while they are.

Bitcoin itself isn't a scam, but Bitcoin is a tool that's being used by scammers to scam newbie investors.

Let's face it, as much as we've seen Bitcoin going up in price these past few years, there will still be people who will think that Bitcoin is a scam probably because they got scammed maybe through an investment that these scammers are offering or whatever it is. Let the people think what they want because at the end of the day, we can't control what they think. Instead of focusing on them, just focus on yourself, and your investment. Focus on grow, and don't focus on them. We will not benefit from them.

Let's do our thing, and let them do their thing. They think Bitcoin is a scam? So be it. We don't care.
