221  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: April 01, 2024, 10:08:03 AM
In my opinion, Bitcoin's path to $100k seems likely this year. Moreover, Bitcoin reached above $73k before the halving occurred. However, to reach the price of $100k, Bitcoin will experience a slight decline and this happened when after reaching $73k Bitcoin fell to $64k and now the price of Bitcoin has risen again above $70k.
Yes, like you, I think it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin hits $100k this year. Although many predicted that the price of Bitcoin would reach $100k before the Bitcoin Halving, it is now doubtful whether this will be possible. Because we have seen bitcoin price rise and even bitcoin price fall few days ago. The price of Bitcoin has never seen such a surge in value as it has seen this year. The price of Bitcoin rose to a unique height this year which was an all-time high. One of the reasons why the price of Bitcoin has risen so much in recent years is the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, and one of the reasons is that the Bitcoin market will undergo a four-year cycle this year. After the Bitcoin cycle we can see a bullish period in the market then we can imagine that the price of Bitcoin will go up a lot more.
The expectation that bitcoin will reach $100k before the halving is actually a bit too high, I also don't think we can get there with just over 20 days left until the halving. And I also agree with you that the $100K goal will most likely happen this year. But I think before bitcoin reaches $100k, there will be significant corrections, and I expect those corrections to happen after the halving. I don't think bitcoin's path to $100k will be easy and without any obstacles.
222  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin breaks 2021 ATH and hits $71k! on: April 01, 2024, 09:58:32 AM
As Bitcoin smashes its previous record highs even before the halving, it's a time of excitement for many. But let's not get too carried away. With the market becoming more unpredictable, we need to tread carefully. Some big players, like investment funds and ETFs, seem to be buying up Bitcoin aggressively, possibly to create scarcity and drive prices skyward. While this may seem like a good thing, there's a chance it's all part of a larger game they're playing. We need to keep our eyes open and not be blinded by the euphoria, as the market might have some surprises in store.
Exactly, don't be too greedy dealing with the market right now because it's unpredictable after all and anything can happen.
We are now back at $70k mark but that doesn't mean a continuous up trend because we might still see volatility and price manipulation.

Right now, what you can do is to observe and do your own research first before making any action, dealing with Bitcoin right now is very risk because of its expensive price, not unless you're playing long, then considering its price right now, it is still a good one.

Bitcoin has suddenly increased in people's doubts, and if people continue to be skeptical and scared when they see bitcoin rising so fast then bitcoin will continue to do so. I think the most difficult days are over, we will no longer see bitcoin plummet to $40k or $30k like in 2022. So I think there is nothing to fear at this point and we need to be a little greedy to be able to achieve greater profits.

The market has never been easier to predict, not just now, but if we can endure the bear season then why be afraid during the bull season if there is a bitcoin correction, it will also recover very quickly?
223  Economy / Speculation / Re: If you had bought the previous ATH you're on profit on: April 01, 2024, 09:48:46 AM
...

I have read that after this halving "it will be different". The thinking is that there may not
be another dump because of the ETF buy pressures...

I would never believe these baseless claims because ETF or not, bitcoin is unpredictable. If people were pretty sure about this, would they put all their assets into investing in bitcoin? After all, bitcoin is also a financial market and for a market to exist in a sustainable way, there need to be ups and downs. No market can be considered healthy if it just goes up and up without a correction.
Since the ETF has been approved so far, there has not been a significant correction and I believe bitcoin will correct after the halving, which is what will happen, I am still waiting for “sell in May” like every year.
224  Economy / Speculation / Re: are you expecting Bitcoin to hit $400,000 after the bull run. on: April 01, 2024, 09:30:52 AM
I'm seeing Bitcoin rising to $400,000 before the first quarter of 2025, the bull run this time it will be different from the last one. Bitcoin is $70,000 now the halving have not started, I'm looking at the market that this is the right to buy and hold after the bull run then you sell and make your triple profit.
need to take into account that many people also consider that bitcoin is depending on season when it decides to have bullrun, so it might not easily reach that high of a price since the market cap would also grow so significantly, I think that price only realistic if there's more and more country are accepting bitcoin as an instrument of investment therefore opening up to an even higher market capital by raising the flow of capital into the investment so it might be realistic.
but as of now we should be a lot more concerned about bitcoin reaching $100k since its kinda the more realistic price point that bitcoin could easily reach so concentrating on it first is a must.
but overall if we follow prediction of many people, there are many that predicted that within a decade bitcoin might reach $1 million.
that from my opinion is already awesome achievement within a decade.
It's true that we need to conquer each milestone one by one, there needs to be a sequence and 100k USD is the next goal. But I feel that the $100k target is too close a target as bitcoin only needs to increase another 40% for us to reach it. We need to set further goals, but $400k for this bull season is a pretty high number and to do that we need a strong catalyst. Personally, I don't think bitcoin can reach 400k$ but the target of 200k-250k$ is completely feasible during this bull season. Everything is very bullish. Regarding the goal of 1 million USD, I think it's too far to think about.
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 01, 2024, 08:26:46 AM
I have really positive expectations from Arsenal. Because while I really like Arteta's Arsenal this season I can't say the same for Tuchel's Bayern Munich. Tuchel has officially stated as well that the title race in the Bundesliga is over for them from now on. It is good that he has finally realized that. Dortmund had to beat them to make him say that.  Tongue

Arsenal didn't lose to Manchester City today again. They are doing everything they can to be the champions in the EPL. I didn't like their effort against Porto maybe but I think it won't be the same against Bayern Munich too. Arsenal really have a chance in this stage.  Smiley
Arsenal has managed to get through a tough match against Manchester City, even though they have to be willing to share the points, at least they didn't lose. It's not easy to steal points at the Etihad, where in my opinion Manchester City actually has a better chance of securing 3 points. A draw against Manchester City will have a good impact on Arsenal prestige in the Champions League later, and Mikel Arteta squad will have good confidence when they face Bayern Munich in the quarter finals. Arsenal have now changed for the better, and they deserve credit for their hard work.

Bayern Munich lost to Dortmund in their last match, it makes sense that many people now consider their chances of beating Arsenal to be lower than before. Even if you look at the impressive performance currently being shown by Arsenal, Mikel Arteta squad is considered to have a big chance of beating Bayern Munich. This season, Bayern Munich has performed with unstable performance, even though they have very good squad depth, the presence of Harry Kane on the front line cannot make them consistently win.


Quote
With Arsenal looming on the horizon, Bayern fans were probably hoping to see their team carry their good run of form from before the international break into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie. The Champions League is after all the only trophy Bayern can win. Yet, perhaps because of Bayer Leverkusen winning against Hoffenheim with two very late goals, the mood in the Bayern camp seemed down. Half the team came out unmotivated onto the Allianz Arena in front of a packed home crowd in Der Klassiker. It seems that the chasm between the players and Thomas Tuchel continues to grow. It seems the players didn’t care.
Bayern will have to play Arsenal soon without their fans in England. A very long two weeks awaits Bayern Munich and Bayern’s fans.

I don't think people actually do not give any chance to Arsenal in any of the matches, be it against Manchester City.
Because we all know Arsenal is capable of performing well even against the best of teams.
The main problem is we have seen Arsenal become pretty bad towards the end of the season.
However, now it seems like in this season Arsenal will be able to hold on and potentially win the English Premier League title.

Yes, I also believe that comparing them with Bayern Munich is not a good comparison right now.
Actually, I think Bayern Munich is also a good team.
But the main problem is, you know, the coach is not good enough.
You can't deny the squad itself has the capability of winning everything, right?
But when the tactics are not good enough, the quality of the squad is not going to matter.
226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 01, 2024, 04:07:40 AM
To be honest, none of us expected to see such a performance from Manchester City in this match. Many of my gambling friends bet on Manchester City to win today. The main reason for this was that it was City's home match. And everyone thought that City would surely avenge the defeat of the previous match in this match. But Manchester City players proved everyone wrong.
Manchester City dominated this match it is true. Manchester City players have 73% ball possession. But they are not able to attack much. Arsenal's defense has been one of the strongest defenses in the Premier League this season. City should have gone all attacking from the first half if they wanted to score against Arsenal. I would say there was something wrong with Guardiola's match tactics. And this is why Manchester City have shared the points in two consecutive important matches.
The fact is that Arsenal learnt from their mistake last season against Manchester city. It was almost the same time last season, that they both clashed, and Arsenal was also using maybe one or two points to gap them, and they dealt with Arsenal. That victory game Manchester city a better advantage to win the match.
This is why I would not blame Arsenal for putting more effort on their defense than attacking. Afterall sharing of the points is better than allowing one club to walk away with all three points. Arsenal are in their super form, and I wish them well in winning the league if they can. I also thought that Manchester city would use the advantage of playing at home over Arsenal, but there was no difference.

You are right that Arsenal have learned from their mistakes against Manchester City last season. Arsenal's performance against Manchester City was poor last season. And at the end of the season Arsenal's players failed to win the title due to erratic performances. If you want to win the Premier League title, you have to have consistent performances and consistently play well.

Arsenal have been in excellent form this season. They are not making the same mistakes as in previous seasons. Arsenal have been very tactical this season. Arsenal team has been able to maintain the consistency of performance. Arsenal also managed to earn 1 point against Manchester City after an excellent win against Liverpool.



In this away match, Arsenal played a defensive strategy from the beginning of the match. Arsenal's players had only 28% ball possession. And Arsenal didn't try to attack too much. Arsenal played a defensive strategy and wanted to draw the match. And they succeeded. The match was a goalless draw and Arsenal earned 1 point.
227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 31, 2024, 11:46:18 PM
Incredibly, Juventus managed to lose again this evening, this time in the last minute.
Now seeing the progress, the qualification for the next Champions Leauge seems very difficult considering the remaining matches.
Should Allegri be sacked near the end of the season??

Juventus have a really difficult calendar of games and they will have to play both Roma and Bologna, but I don't think that Juventus will lose these games (which could really put them in a difficult position), at least one game will be a draw. Thanks to the fact that Juventus has a reserve of points, it will retain its place in the top 4. In addition, you probably forgot that next season the Champions League format is changing and since Italy is now in first place in terms of the number of points scored by clubs in European competition, with a 90% probability Serie A will send 5 of its representatives to the Champions League at once.
I think that Juventus can still finish in the top four of the standings, even though currently the Alleggri squad has not been able to get out of the bad trend and is still having difficulty winning. In the remaining 8 matches ahead, Juventus will again have to face several tough matches, which could cause them to lose more points. However, I think Juventus can still secure full points in easy matches, when facing mediocre clubs. Allegri will of course be evaluated by management and club officials as to whether he is still worthy of being Juventus leader next season.

On the other hand, Juventus still has one other competition that allows them to win a trophy, but they will face Lazio again in the semifinals, the Coppa Italia is Juventus only last hope of winning a trophy this season. On the other hand, I see Lazio victory yesterday as luck, it doesn't mean Juventus played completely badly. It doesn't matter if Juventus finishes in 3rd or 4th place in the standings, in my opinion they just need to keep trying to survive to be able to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season.

To be honest, I thought Juventus was going to win this match. But Juventus has disappointed me and their fans. They are now at too much risk of getting out of the top 4. A few match weeks ago, I thought 3 of the top 4 teams in this season of Serie A were going to be AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus. And now I am not too sure about that considering their performance.

Bologna has played 1 match less than and has 5 points less. If Bologna keeps up their form and Juventus keeps up their bad form, there will be no time when Bologna surpasses Juventus. To be honest I think Juventus has entered the top 4 race. They made a good comeback from next season and there were chances of them getting ahead of Inter Milan. But it is all in the past now. They should focus on getting their form back.

In today's match odds for Bologna is 1.27 where bookie are offering 12 for Salernitana lol..  Cheesy
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 31, 2024, 05:41:58 PM
Both Arsenal and Manchester City are under pressure, none of them wants to lose that is why the first half of the match was not interesting to watch because all the two teams were very cautious, they don’t want to make any mistake that will caused them a goal because any team that concede first might end up losing the match.
I sense that Arsenal is facing greater pressure compared to Manchester City. This stems from their current position at the top of the league standings and the lingering impact of last year's encounter at this stage, which resulted in them losing their top spot. The fact that they are not playing on home turf adds to their challenges. On the other hand, Manchester City enjoys greater possession and the advantage of playing at home. They recognize that the competition involves three teams rather than just two, unlike the previous season
It seems that Arsenal had anticipated the attack from Manchester City, therefore they played more carefully today and if this match ends in a draw then Liverpool will take over the standings, in a situation like this we cannot predict who will win the title because each team is only 1-2 points behind. It's a shame that Manchester City can't take advantage of opportunities when playing at home even though this is one of the best opportunities for them to get closer to the top of the standings. Next we will wait for the match between Arsenal and Liverpool at the end of the season and this is an important match.

To be honest, none of us expected to see such a performance from Manchester City in this match. Many of my gambling friends bet on Manchester City to win today. The main reason for this was that it was City's home match. And everyone thought that City would surely avenge the defeat of the previous match in this match.

Today's match will be the most competitive of the few matches played in the Indian Premier League. Because so far Sunrise Hyderabad is ahead, because collecting 277 runs is a matter of patience in this T20 match. With experienced batsmen, Sunrise Hyderabad has been able to score massive runs, if Mumbai Indians can keep the team under bowling pressure from the start then surely the chances of victory are high today.

The results of IPL matches are quite strange now. As Sunrisers Hyderabad performed in the previous two matches, Hyderabad team was considered as the favorite in today's match. But the Hyderabad players were given a target of only 163 runs. I thought Hyderabad players will collect 200+ in today's match as well.

Mohit Sharma bowled well today. Mohit gave only 25 runs in 4 overs and picked up four important wickets. Hyderabad's innings stalled at 162 runs thanks to responsible bowling by Mohit Sharma.

Batting a target of 163 runs on this pitch and winning is not a difficult task. At the same time, although Hyderabad's batting order is strong, their bowlers are not in good rhythm. And in today's match also we saw poor bowling from Hyderabad bowlers. Gujarat Titans team did not face any obstacles to collect 163 runs. Titans team reached the target of victory by losing only 3 wickets.
230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has BTC really become more attractive than gold? on: March 31, 2024, 01:05:04 PM
Bitcoin has proved to be a better investment than gold for sure because

1) If we just compare return wise, bitcoin beats every other investment option including gold. And we should not forget that gold took so much time to reach current stage. While bitcoin has exploded in just 10-15 years.

Of course, in terms of profits, no investment can beat bitcoin and this is also the main reason why we choose bitcoin over gold or stocks. In addition, anyone can invest in bitcoin with a small capital and will have the opportunity to receive significant profits. Only bitcoin can do that, the remaining assets seem impossible.
2) Safety wise also bitcoin is safe. To store large amount of gold, you have to spend lot of money on services like lockers. On the hand, you can store as much BTC you want safely with a simple hardware wallet.

What you say is not wrong, but have you ever thought about the risk if you put all your assets in bitcoin and unfortunately you accidentally forget or lose the Seed Phrase. What will you do then? When it comes to safety, both will have advantages and disadvantages, Bitcoin is not necessarily superior to gold in every aspect.

... Fools will sell while smart people buy.  Unfortunately the big players never seem to become the Fools.

But they are just investors, they also need profits, and to get profits they cannot just buy, buy and never sell. So, there is nothing wrong or it would be foolish if someone decided to sell their bitcoins after they have reached their profit target. I bet you, sooner or later after collecting enough bitcoins and enough profits, blackrock will also sell their bitcoins, will you call them idiots then? Long-term holding always brings good returns for bitcoin investors but that doesn't mean we should never sell our bitcoins.
232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Dreams of a Bitcoin Circular Economy in my Country on: March 31, 2024, 12:37:13 PM
It’s not just about your country, bitcoin hasn’t really grown to be averagely accepted as a currency. But it is getting there. We hope to someday get to that point where we can see a fair number of businesses accepting Bitcoin. But make no mistake because Bitcoin will never be able to replace fiat. Fiat is engraved in the brain of humans. People want to be able to have a hold of their money too.
What do you rely on to see that bitcoin is on its way to becoming a currency? Because as I know, most of us just like to invest in it to make profits, there are very few people who want to use it as currency because of its volatility. Additionally, approval of bitcoin ETFs means it has been recognized as an asset by the government and we can trade and buy & sell. And it is impossible to have an asset that is both a commodity and a circulating currency.

I'm not pessimistic, but looking at what's going on, I see that bitcoin's path to becoming a currency is gradually closing as the world comes to know it as an investment.
233  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC dip again? on: March 30, 2024, 08:57:38 AM
For those of you out there who are planning on buying more coins
like me when the market dips, have you guys set a target price where
you will buy?

The price has not yet reached what is ideally the price I would want to
buy bitcoin in despite its recent decline and I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
If you want to really buy Bitcoin before the halving, you must set achievable targets for any dip that might happen in the market and $50k is definitely one of such targets at this time that halving is in less than a month. I am convinced that Bitcoin will not go below $60k before the halving occurs.

My sincere opinion is to buy now that market has dipped below $70k because any trigger in the market now will push price high than it is already. You can see how fast the market is recovering after any minor dip, that is a sign that the strength of the market is to the up side.  In other words, the general market sentiment is bullish so corrections will continue to be shallow.

It is possible that bitcoin will not fall below $60k before the halving because people have high expectations and are willing to buy more bitcoin if the price corrects. But after the halving, there is no guarantee that ETFs will not take profits after days of accumulating bitcoin in very large volumes. And once they take profits, bitcoin price will certainly react very strongly and a drop to 50 thousand USD is entirely possible.
I used to think that the scenario where they pushed bitcoin down to $50k and started accumulating bitcoin again to prepare for another price increase was entirely possible. If OP bought most of the bitcoin at around $60k there is no reason to continue accumulating at this point, I think he can wait to get a better price.
234  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin way forward - Towards $100k or $50k on: March 30, 2024, 08:32:52 AM
In last two week we have seen a fluctuation in the price of Bitcoin as at one point it looked like it will drop to $50k but quickly it rebounded back and crossed $71k once again and now it just under $70k. What do you think would be the next zone, will Bitcoin rally towards the long awaited $100k mark or dip towards $50k? I know no one can speculate or predict it accurately but just share your thoughts with any valid reasons behind it.
I think bitcoin will continue to rise as the halving gets closer and closer to us, but I don't think bitcoin can reach $100k so soon. I predict bitcoin will reach $80k and then there will be a correction towards the $50k level you would expect. I don't believe bitcoin can go to $100k without any significant correction.

But we should not rule out the opposite scenario because while everyone expects bitcoin to continue to increase in price from now on, the market could also do the opposite of what we think.
235  Economy / Speculation / Re: another ATH , 71k and still climbing. on: March 30, 2024, 08:27:09 AM
are we  going to see 75k this time? because bitcoin is in the 3rd time this month breaks ATH https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/  the unusual occasion that we have seen since its creation .

HODL guys , keep holding .

Any reason for this Pump now?
Bitcoin prices have seen a surge since the start of the year with Bitcoin ETFs. Where Bitcoin price this month has seen break its previous record and enter a new ATH. It cannot be ruled out that we will see Bitcoin hit $75k before the Bitcoin halving. More people are showing interest in investing in Bitcoin now than before. Due to the rising price, many people want to hold the coin and expect more price increase in the future. Many say that such increase is due to the approval of Bitcoin ETF, while others say that the value of Bitcoin is increasing due to the increase in the amount of Bitcoin holdings. What is the exact reason for Bitcoin's price increase? Many people can analyze it in different ways, but in my opinion, I can't find any correct explanation. I don't know what will happen next, but I want to witness the bull run ahead.

You got the answer right in your comment. Think about it, if the bitcoin ETF is not approved, large investment funds like Blackrock will not enter the market, we will not have large cash flows pouring into the market, so how can the price increase? Demand for bitcoin holdings has increased significantly due to the approval of bitcoin ETFs, both of which are closely related. The recent price increase of bitcoin is due to the impact of bitcoin ETFs, although many people do not like ETFs, we cannot deny this.
236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is rising faster and faster, It is time to Buy Bitcoin ! on: March 30, 2024, 08:12:08 AM
Bitcoin price is rising faster and faster, It is time to Buy Bitcoin now before it is too late !

Is bitcoin price going to be above the $100 K end of the next 6 months ?

If it does, its mean it will cross  $150K by 25 December 2024.  
After seeing the price of Bitcoin continue to experience extraordinary increases, even surpassing $73k for the first time in its history, of course this is a good sign for us to continue buying bitcoin with dca, because I think buying bitcoin now is the right time and it's not too late. The point is that the ETF has been approved and the halving period is getting closer so if the price will exceed $150k or $200k, it's not impossible for bitcoin, it's just that we need time, maybe it won't happen this year but it could happen next year. Continue making purchases using the DCA method, both down and up, for at least the next 1-2 years, we do this to create financial freedom in the future.

If bitcoin price can touch 200k$ or 220k$ in the next 1 to 2 years, it means it will bring 3 times profit compared to your initial capital. How can you become financially free? I think we should only rely on bitcoin investment from now on and thinking about a future of financial freedom is very difficult unless you have a capital of a few hundred thousand or a few million USD. If you only have a capital of a few tens of thousands of USD, that is impossible.

In addition, although I also expect that Bitcoin can reach $200k during this bull season, there are no guarantees, so depending on Bitcoin investment and wishing for financial freedom is not possible.
237  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 190K in 2024? on: March 30, 2024, 08:04:10 AM
I don't think that target is too high, $190k is an acceptable price for bitcoin during this bull season. I personally believe that bitcoin will reach $80k-90k soon after the halving and then we will have strong growth across the entire market in the last quarter of the year. Bitcoin will touch 190k$-220k$ and many altcoins will x10, x100, this is completely possible.

This is my prediction and I make it based on the economic situation. With the Fed lowering interest rates, economic recovery and the need to increase income are a must, and investing is one of the ways to increase income quickly. Surely people will not ignore it and combined with news about ETFs, people will confidently invest more in bitcoin. This will fuel a strong bullish cycle.
If you look at the developments that have occurred in recent times, I am also quite optimistic that this will happen in 2024. Moreover, this year is still very long, we are at the beginning of the year and quite a lot of improvements have occurred so it is possible that this will continue to happen. .
$190k is not impossible, I believe it will happen in 2024 after seeing what happened and quite a lot of things that were predicted to happen earlier with the development and attraction and also the positive news of Bitcoin.
People are still cautious and set quite modest goals, only predicting bitcoin will reach 100k USD or 120k USD for this cycle. But if we combine market events as well as the world economic situation, we can expect higher growth. But I will only put big expectations on this cycle, and after this bull cycle, I don't think bitcoin will have any bigger bull cycles. I mean things will soon fall into place as large organizations and governments pay more attention to bitcoin, bitcoin will gradually become as stable as gold.

Is it clear, right? I meant Laporta has stated many times that he will never sell him at any price, which means it doesn't even matter how high the bet is, but Yamal will always stay on Real Madrid. It feels like Laporta has found a new Messi for Barcelona. Your expectation is too high by thinking Yamal will leave the club.
Im only having one thing to be criticized about laporta. It seems like that he shall never ever repeat to create sensational news like when he announced yamal got 200m offer. Laporta will try to defend him no matter what happened to the barcelona.

Barcelona rarely let its good players leave the club, but the situation would be kind of different if the club faced the same situation as when Barcelona should have sold Messi to PSG due to financial problems.

The financial problem is probably the only thing that will put pressure on Barcelona to sell its good players. We have seen that many times barcelona pressured by la liga to raise some money.



Yes, the financial situation is forcing Barcelona to take many decisions they never ever wanted to take. As a result, Messi had to leave Barcelona and play for Paris Saint Germain. Barcelona also did so many things to keep their club alive financially.

Barcelona has already sold so many players. They don't have any more players to pull. They have sold their TV rights and licensing rights. They have also cut their player salaries and released many players. They have also sold their stadium naming rights and are trying to find ways to reduce their costs. They should not do anything risky that might put their club in danger financially. Barcelona might have to take many tough financial decisions in the coming future. I wonder what they will do if the time comes when they must sell Yamal.

VanEck, one of the Bitcoin ETF proviers, thinks Ether ETFs will make more sense to investors and be even more popular than Bitcoin ETFs.

What do you think?


What do I personally think? They should study about cryptocurrencies more and learn what makes Bitcoin an absolutely better blockchain/decentralized network than Ethereum. First they should start with Bitcoin's sybil protection mechanism with Proof Of Work. Ethereum threw away the best thing about its network out of the window to be a Proof Of Stake network, which is still very debatable if it truly works for sybil protection. But with Proof Of Work, as shown in Bitcoin and the incentive structure that surrounds it, we know it actually works.

The problem is not that bitcoin's blockchain is better or ETH is better, they dare to assert that because what they want is profit and pushing up the price of ETH will be much easier than pushing up the price of bitcoin. The more centralized ETH is, the easier it is to manipulate, so they have a reason to make that statement.

Large investment funds enter the market for profit, they do not seek privacy or freedom like we do. The only thing they want is profit and whichever one gives them better profit, they will appreciate and focus on it more.

I don't mean to predict the market cap price but my conscience whispers to me that the current rise up again or bitcoin would be the last rise before halving.
As at the time of making this thread,  the price was $70K + which we're aware that it formally broke its ATH even when itsy not yet at the bull run before it depreciated again but my instincts is whispering me that this current up rise again would be the last rise before halving.

Do you have some psychological intake or some personal opinion in related to my emotion?

I agree with you, we will see a sharp increase in bitcoin price to welcome the halving. Bitcoin has recovered and at one point surpassed $71k, however in the past 2 days it is having a slight correction but it is a healthy correction in preparation for the next price increase. I believe that bitcoin will make new ATHs before and after the halving, and people continue to have more confidence in the impact of the halving causing bitcoin to increase in price.

When everyone is going crazy over the rising price of bitcoin and expecting higher increases is also the time when market makers dump the price of bitcoin. Market makers will reuse the same script they used when news broke of an ETF being approved.
