If you are a good investor, you know exactly how to take advantage every market's condition, regardless its bearish or bullish. But for some newbies out there, its best to start building your wealth when all the coins are still cheap and affordable. Or better yet, do the dollar cost averaging, buy in every price drop. And when you see the price starts to become bullish and has gained a lot of increase, then take time to sell. That is a good preparation to buy back and hold again when the bear market comes back.

Because the banks and government can’t do anything about cryptocurrency since it’s unstoppable and contagious, regulation is the only option for them. If you look at China right now, they are criminalizing those people who are engaging in cryptocurrencies whether for trading, mining, etc.

They may have outlawed cryptocurrencies by imposing an outright ban within China, but the cryptocurrency activity can’t be stopped because there are still some Chinese who are engaging with it and has so much belief about it.

I agree with you that children should be taught about Bitcoin. Who knows, it turns out that your child is indeed talented in investing and the like, so that indirectly you can also develop the potential of your child using Bitcoin. However, if the child really can't and is not able to get to know Bitcoin, it's best not to force it because it will have bad consequences and the results will not be as expected. But if the tone persists so that your child wants to get to know Bitcoin, you must have the best possible tricks to gently attract the child's heart and interest. Bitcoin provides freedom compared to fiat that is bound by the government, besides Bitcoin has also helped many people to achieve life or economic conditions better.

In my opinion, it is very good that we have a choice. I'm not saying that we need hundreds of different blockchains, but a few more will definitely be useful. Competition is always healthy for the market.
There is no doubt that at the moment the most practical (cheap and fast) network is BSC. Other blockchains are not bad either, but BSC is definitely growing the fastest.

CBDC of US will be probably the same as stablecoin, with the difference one is centralized by a government and the other is centralized by a company (which is still regulated by the government anyway), so they are pretty similar. Maybe CBDCs will be more precise at the 1:1 ratio conversion than stablecoins, but I'm not sure yet.

Between the two options I prefer to pick the less bureaucratic one. I expect CBDCs to be harder to deal with due to regulations and limitations imposed by each local government, so it's likely I will keep with stablecoins, but if CBDCs are going to be user friendly currencies I see no problem in adopting them as well.

How is inflation and the btc price related? or why can inflation up the price? I know that when there's an inflation, the price of the goods are rising but I heard this also leads for people to invest, is that what you guys mean?

More people will invest in btc the more/higher the inflation have become but be careful what you ask/wish for as hyperinflation can happen but isn't this a bad thing for the economy and the way we people live? Are we sure we need this only to see bitcoin reach that 1milion dollar that most of us are assuming? Why can't we just do it on a natural way without harming the innocent individual only for our own good. There will still be a demand for btc with or without inflations.

Lol, well this is bitcointalk, what did you expect from the quality haha. And obviously they are not competition to bitcoin, they never were, and they never could be anyway. I wouldn't say shitcoin pile to where they are, SOL could be a bit shitty, I sold mine because I feel like it is way too centralized with how they are controlling the blockchain and I do not like that, even BNB is more centralized and doesn't do those things which is a proof that SOL is not only centralized by authoritarian as well.

But, people like that would defend it no matter what happens and because of that reason I believe that maybe they can have a future, not a deserved one but a hyped one, kind of like doge.

Well, sorry to bust your bubble @op, centralized exchanges won't be banned, at least, not the big ones that comply with the laws of the land like binance, coinbase and the likes.
Government need money and more money, and even more money, and sometimes, they don't care how it comes, as long as the money is coming.
To be sincere with you, governments don't have a problem with crypto, why it seems they are so head bent on banning crypto is because they haven't figured a way to tax users yet, as soon as they figure out an effective way of taxing users and holders of crypto, you will see that all this threat and brouhaha of banning crypto will be a thing of the past, their major anger right now is that citizens are moving their fund to crypto to invade tax, once the government of the world figure out a way to effectively tax crypto holders and crypto business owners (this includes centralized exchanges), you will see that crypto will be made legal in many (if not all) countries of the world.

It really isnt, thats the big flaw with your reasoning and perspective most likely.   Dollar is king and fact that BTC is this high still is admirable.    I wont speak any defense for the Dollar because its likely the most overvalued currency to ever exist as world currency but it is being used for that purpose and thats the reality right now.   There is only 1 super power nation in the world and thats USA,  Dollar is a very influential currency and vital if you want to trade with the rest of the world properly and with fair market prices.   Thats important because this world is a global economy now, the local price for goods isnt half as high as markets far away from the source.
  So right now Dollar compared to other currencies is overly strong, vs real value I tend to agree you but we're talking finance so its about all the currencies used not real goods so much.   EURO is really not in a good place, their bank has done some extremely biased political actions to prop up Italian debt and all kinds of things to help governments over the people who might live there.   YEN is horribly undermined also, technically they can collapse if it werent for QE.  All the components indexed vs Dollar are weak hence any price in Dollar is now suffering some pressure in that higher demand for Dollar.

We have El Salvador example as a first experiment of a government endorsing and incentivizing bitcoin adoption, although the results aren't satisfactory.

Even though bitcoin has become legal tender there, most people still don't adopt it for real. They have just claimed the 30$ btc giveaway and most probably converted it to dollar currency in order to use the money, abandoning bitcoin from that moment on.

As we can see, friendly crypto governments aren't enough to push adoption upside in large scale. The situation is more complex than that, at same time it summarizes in lack of interest from common citizens for bitcoin.

Taking this into consideration, I don't see bitcoin replacing fiat in daily life for the next few decades. Only future generations can develop a new mindset which will allow them to see bitcoin's potential on their routine as main exchanging tool for goods and services.

I think that they will coexist.

Personally, CBDCs aren't going to be used on a day-to-day basis for most international or online transactions simply because of the fact that it is traceable and the government is likely going to have control over the ledger.

There is still going to be a need for stablecoins, especially algorithmic ones, to ensure that governmental pressures do not result in loss of funds. Although for centralised stablecoins this is going to be increasingly difficult anyway.

They could if they wanted, but there isn't an incentive for anyone to adopt a ruble based CBDC. If they want to create a system that is more immune to sanctions, would seem a whole lot easier just for people to adopt Bitcoin instead. Perhaps I'm being shortsighted - if the ruble is increasingly becoming worthless, digitalizing the currency serves no purpose. It's not as if ruble is a reserve currency. CBDC's just give more central authority to the major banks. Problem with the current sanctions is that their economy and assets are being frozen, a CBDC won't fix any of this.

I also noticed the same. Unfortunately, if someone wants to operate in the open mainstream and in the world of cryptocurrencies, he must undergo regulation and require KYC verification to function legally. However, the cryptocurrency market is constantly evolving, so I think many companies will only operate in the cryptocurrency market and they will avoid regulation and operate anonymously. I think that everyone will find something good for themselves. It's just that everyone will take a piece of the cake for themselves, but it looks like regulated companies are taking more and more of it.

Below is the definition that I got out of Google


If we take bitcoin at this position we have low inflation rate, but the fluctuation is high when there a big Whale in the market making a entry/exit in the market. This won't be happening with the traditional market, which is the key element in stabilizing the market.

Bitcoin's price depends heavily on supply and demand. An  asset preferred by investors and traders along with the speculation about price movements have big role in the value of bitcoin. Apart from this, influencers, media hype/negativity, and other big baggers have the ability to fluctuate the market. When these issues gets rectified the market will stabilize.

You need to qualify what "best" would mean.

Decentralization, stability, transparency, governance, investor vs. whale vs retail ownership, speed, technical, open source, etc., are just some of the factors you would have to weigh to determine what the "best" alternative to Ethereum would be.

Tell us where you think Ethereum was lacking, and which factors are most impoertant
