This is always the plan even no brainer trader know that buy low sell high strategy because its the only goal of trading to have maximum profit. Problem starts when the traders starts to feel panic on loss or if he become excited on taking profit while bull run is already starting. Common human behaviour is to chase the profit he supposed to get when holding so he will buy at the top expecting it pump more until he can't make take profit because he already FOMO during his first early take profit.

Years ago there were some flash games where it was pretty easy and fast to accumulate some thousands of satoshis playing a little every day.

I don't know how interesting these games would be for nowadays kids, because graphics and games alternatives have evolved and changed so much since my childhood, that flash games could be ridiculous for them now... But personally, for me it would be great to play these games while earning btc as a kid, because I've been doing this since ever without earning any money, only for the joy.

Right now, the only games of this kind I'm aware about are smartphone apps which deliver classic arcade games paying satoshis rewards. However, the rewards are terribly low.

On the other hand, I believe in some years there is going to be decent online multiplayer games with fully developed and sustainable internal economies, where kids will be able to play and start building their bitcoin portfolios.

And to play/adopt bitcoin or not must be up to each child to decide. They don't need to exchange their childhood for bitcoin, but introduce bitcoin to their childhood with harmony and balance.

As a kid, I've never been worried about financial life and now I somehow regret about it, because my life as adult could be much more confortable if I did so before back then...

Only ~2M more to go and now have up to 18,999,800 BTC.
It would take us about 100 years to mine those 2 million.
 Imagine how big the market will be if we assume that about 3 million bitcoins are lost forever.

I will edit later when that coin is mined. 19,000,000.

Of course, the relationship between states and cryptocurrencies will constantly change. The great popularity of cryptocurrency among the population of almost all states is a good guarantee that civilized countries will not prohibit the use of cryptocurrency. But the conditions of her walking will change until the optimal middle is established.

Cryptocurrency exchanges will be forced to work on the terms of the states at the place of their registration and location. Many discussed the fact that Binance refused to block Russian accounts. Now the head of one of the pro-Russian parties in Ukraine, Shariy, complains that, at the request of Ukraine, Binance blocked his cryptocurrency on this exchange. At the same time, the exchange provided Ukraine with all the information about itself, including all codes for managing cryptocurrency.

In March 2022, a huge number of people left Russia.  These are IT specialists, Big Data specialists, businessmen, financiers, engineers, theater directors, designers and many others.

Some experts talk about 1,000,000 emigrants.

The richest of them leave Russia via Turkey and Thailand.  The poor leave through Georgia and Kazakhstan.

The ruble ceased to be a convertible currency.  In Russia, you can sell foreign currency (US dollar, euro, pound sterling, Swiss franc, Japanese yen), but you cannot officially buy foreign currency.

Therefore, all emigrants sell all their possessions and buy cryptocurrency (mostly bitcoin).

But many businessmen, in principle, are not able to sell their business, since even now it is estimated at billions of rubles.  Such capital cannot be converted into cryptocurrency and withdrawn from the country.

I think the reason why it pumped so much is mostly due to the name APE. People know that those NFT apes brought in tons of money to anyone who was an early investor so when people saw that it was launched they all went on it like crazy and bought it up.

I’m surprised that during this sideways bear market we get pumps like these with new projects. Usually during a strong bull market this is an everyday occurrence but to see it pumping like this now goes to show that the crypto market is still alive and well.

I didn’t get a chance to buy, missed the run up and if it pulls back it’s too risky buying it.

Let's not forget that bitcoin will increase its value also because the dollar (and fiat in general) will keep losing value because of inflation. So it will be easier to see new ATH but at the same time will be able to purchase less. But until when we don't change bitcoin for fiat is not actually a problem, at the end 1 BTC = 1 BTC

It is a matter of perspective I say. For some people who bought at 60k, this is a bear market, but the ones who bought at 10k it is still a bull market but less than the maximum possible one.

Altcoins though always are in bearish accordingly to me. Not worth putting money in compared to Bitcoins.

But it is true that majority of buying of Bitcoins should be done in bear and not in bull otherwise you get into a net loss condition. Only then you can profit from the long term rise in price.

It looks like ZIL coin will see some serious pumping. Yesterday evening, GMT and LOKA coins increased by 130%. When I look at the chart that I followed for 3 minutes today and before, 1 dollar would not be a surprise. What are your expectations about this subject?

How come POS will centralize ETH? I don't get your point. Rather I feel POS will actually make ETH more accessible to the common mass. You won't need expensive graphics card to mine it. Rather you can just buy some ETH from the market and pool stake with others. POS is effectively removing the barriers that bars the common mass to enter into mining of crypto due to high entry price. Also it will address the high gas fees which ETH users are facing since a long time now. The current gas fee is not sustainable and POW is unable to solve the issue so far. POS will help to distribute the gas fees across network through their algorithm which will reduce it to a great level.

Overall, I have seen positivity around this movement. Not sure what made you think it will end decentralization in ETH.

Would be totally impossible for it to happen because there are things which crypto couldnt able to provide or do on what fiat does all over the ages of its existence and we could not deny it that we do still need fiat.

Crypto would really be remaining as an option.It might be flying out with colors in the future but not something that could beat up or erase fiat into its existence.Government does exist and do we really believe that

they would really let these things to happen?  For sure they wont because centralization would be always be preferred but as citizens we do have at least some option.

I wouldn't call it FUD though, maybe she is just voicing her own opinion, maybe she is one powerful Senator in the US and has hatred on crypto or even Russia. But her bill will have to passed first, and she knows it is going to be difficult for her.

And it's not just crypto that she is targeting, even oil companies that is making or taking advantage of the war situation by increasing their prices are under her radar. But then again, as I have said, bitcoin and the rest of crypto is too big to fall right now and not even a US Senator can stop it.

I think the hype of dogecoin is over. I wouldnt invest into this coin at all i think it will go down no matter what the market does. Elon Musk aint pumping it anymore plus there is no hype at all around it. So people shouldnt be investing into it at all.

I think $1 million in 2030 is a good estimate. Generally I think it could be as high as $2 million if the masses actually get educated about it and all the "scam, fraud, for criminals, tulips, bad for the environment, old tech" nonsense gets killed off in the popular consciousness by then. On the low end if the masses by and large keep up those false beliefs I'd say it might only be like $500k or so. And $1 million is a realistic middle ground I think to close out the decade.

Right now you've got the environmental/ESG crowd operating under a false belief when it comes to Bitcoin's relation to energy and mining, you've got Gold people antigonistic against it because they don't want it to replace gold, you've got the average unbiased person just saying it isn't used for anything and not understanding that use as a currency is something that it grows into, you've got the biased people who just buy into the fear about it being for criminals or going to zero or is a scam or whatever, you've got institutions wary of getting in at the wrong time on a short term time scale because of its volatility, and you've got governments and politicians scared of its disruptive power as a monetary force. There needs to be a ton of education and changing of minds on all those fronts this decade to see it be over $1 million by 2030. Hopefully this will be the decade in which Bitcoin goes from being horrendously misunderstand by the masses to at least decently understood and accepted as a good thing by all but extremists. If so, then for sure it'll be 6 digits when the decade ends.

This is just something that has been repeated over and over again for a long time now and it has finally taken place. Before now there have been a lot of people saying that there will be an inflation and they kept warning people. Even the cryptocurrency community were warning a lot of people to start investing in Bitcoin when it was still early enough, but a lot of people that heard them thought that it was all a lie.

Now, it has taken place and there is inflation and people have seen it. A lot of things has gotten costly and Fiat is also losing its value. For those who never invested in any assets, they are probably going to be sorry for themselves this time around.

Of course they can survive, they will just be in a much poorer position than when they began this useless war. Not only has Putin proved that his army is utterly incompetent and badly managed throughout, he has crippled the Russian economy for many decades to come. Even if the sanctions were slowly removed, his unpredictable nature and rash economic decisions have shown that it is a terrible place for foreign investment. There is money to be made, but there are a lot safer places that can generate equally high returns. The average Russian will become a lot poorer, not only in money but freedom of speech and travel opportunities, while the richest Russians are also going to face a backlash of unprecedented proportions for the poorly thought out attack by their leader.

It's true that meme coins have no utility but when meme coins experience hype their price will go up and daily volume can increase drastically. and when it actually happens it will certainly attract many investors for investment (long or short term) because it can provide profits. I personally still invest in coin memes like shiba because shiba is perfect for short term investments or day traders and I can make a quick profit. In other words as long as the meme coin is still able to provide profits to investors or traders, the meme coin will not die.
