IMO, yes we are in the bear trap and also bull trap, between the two. We may consider about so many predictions that December will be the bullish season for Bitcoin and followed by altcoins in early year of January. But in fact, bear trap is coming and still continuing, moreover with some FUD are still around us, the price may be not able to rise up significantly these days.
And the bear trap still makes altcoins moreover top coins to be in the lower rates again and again, without like rising price so far.
But I am actually confused enough what exactly whales want from this kind of market condition, they must need to earn big profits that is why they are playing like this, putting us in the very small difference condition about bear and also bull trap. And this will make many people panic during this bear trap situations.

More advertisements or promotions are always sent by certain platforms so far, from the fake or scammers until the reputable platforms. Yeah, the promotions will be always very promising, they will do it in order to attract the users to do something that they want. But you are right, they are moreover doing this for business. And business is always business, the point is about getting profits and money from their users.

I cannot blame Binance or other platform, because this is one of the promotions.
And about trading type, Spot trading is the best trading for moreover beginners. I always say to my friends that even we only earn small profits, but trading in Spot is less risks and trading in future or with leverage.
We also know that it is true that trading in leverage can really multiple our money so easily, but it can also lose our money so easily.
So depend on you, if  you are  a professional trader who has been usual, professional and  also high risk taker, trading in future or with leverage is very promising and many people have proven about this.
But f we are new to this, never try it at first.

No one will think that saving assets in exchange is secure. However, if we are still using them as trading assets, we cannot leave exchanges because we need those assets for trading and earning profits in the exchanges.
But you are right, not your keys if they are in the exchanges.
That is why I personally will always consider about the top exchanges to put my assets there and also for trading. Why? because top exchanges with high reputations may have lower risks of being collapse or others. Although it of course doesn't guarantee because top exchanges can be also attacked or hacked. But at least they will be responsible. And once if they are collapsing, they will commonly give us chance to withdraw our assets, that is why we must utilize the chance.
Well, all decisions will require risks, higher or lower, that is our choice for us.

This is exactly so many people are thinking in the world, leaving their children in goo prosperity, poverty, and also inheritance.
They don't want their children will face any difficulties in the future, moreover because we don't know what will be faced by the children.
However for me, I will of course leave them inheritance, but not because of worrying them in the future.
I will leave inheritance not only in the poverty or money, but also how the children can really utilize  the inheritance, both money nonpoverty, knowledge, choices, and others.
I believe in my children, I jus want to prepare them with all thing that I have right now, in order to make them responsible of their life, but by not leaving them alone. I will support them emotionally, socially, knowledge, and also financial to prepare them responsible and also available to face every condition in the future.

I don't know why more people are voting for the shake of altcoins go to the moon.
For me personally, I the reason is to get profits in fiat. Yeah I cannot ignore that profits are the first reasons why I ma trading altcoins. I don't expect too much that the altcoins will really go to the moon or not because we cannot  know about this. Moreover many new altcoin projects are only pump and dump, and they only promise the chance of go to the moon, but not know when this will exactly happen. I  personally will take profits in fiat when the price has reached the target.

Actually if this really happens and will be done in order to be one of the payment method, it will be a very good news. But I don't know if this is only short politic to rise up Doge and then someday this will end soon after Elon can rise up the price and take more profits.
We don't know how exactly Elon and Tesla are planning right now. We may be happy about tis good news, this add more value and also utility of Doge itself.
But once more, just be ready for all probabilities in the future, because we cannot trust anyone very highly moreover if they have certain similar reason at the past.

Doesn't this mean that our freedom and right to use our money is severely restricted? And is it true that they will actually track where we are using those crypto assets? Will the crypto be banned or the person? What if only a few people use it for criminal purposes? Will it have an impact on the crypto asset ban even if only a few people or maybe 1 person violates it?

You are the one who are responsible of your own assets, you own your assets, you own your key, and youown your personal important data. It means that you are the one who are responsible on that. SO, this is more interesting rather than others, right?
And about what you said, what kind of problems that you may face? Even you are in the responsible areas but you did your own mistakes, you will not get any funds back again.
And here you can manage your own by yourself, you can save and store your assets securely by your own. And you can also use or make it profits based on yourself. This is more free, mate. This is the digital era. And if you want such traditional investment, just don't be in Bitcoin, just be a piece of land around your area.

Since you have experiences the plus and minus of trading, you must have some lessons why you can earn profits and vice versa why you will lose.
And this is normal in trading cryptocurrency. That is why for many people who are not ready yet entering crypto trading, they will probably stop and consider that trading cryptocurrency is something bad because of the loss.
I hope that you are not like that.
I think you have taken to the next level of trading experience by taking the right strategy to get based on your own experience.
Many people are learning by doing moreover by our own experiences. this will really work. Just keep it up to make your personal trading better and better, wiser in taking decision, and also better in managing your funds.

I just added this into my bookmark, thanks for this platform, moreover freely.
I know that I will not read it at the same time right now, but this can be one of sources every time I  need more information, or if there are newbies that will learn about cryptocurrency.

For the sub-menu of Cryptocurrency Regulation maybe you can add list of countries regulations that allow or legalize Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. And including the explanation, so  that it will be  a good completed source.

These coin lists are old coins and top coins. I don't mind about the coins in the lists. But, I think that it is not only coins to invest in 2022, but all years, these top coins can still become the choices. So, it doesn't matter to invest in next year or this year.

I think that you will talk about new probably coins that will be booming or hype and will become the next era in 2022. Maybe it is about metaverse projects in which they are starting to rise up right now. And they also offer very interesting concepts.
I personally will try some of them like Sandbox and maybe more other Metaverse.

Although it may be possible, but the possibility is very small. The cap of BTC and ETH are far enough, ETH is only about a half of BTC. Additionally, Bitcoin is the first and the most valuable crypto asset. So, I will think that everyone moreover BTC holder will never let other cryptocurrencies to pass its market cap. Although Ethereum will also grow and rise up its market cap, BTC will also do the same.

And we have known so far, some coins also always state about the next Bitcoin, the one that can pass Bitcoin and others. They may pass in the price, but will not be longer such as YFI, and they cannot still also pass the market cap of Bitcoin itself.

This depends on what kind of our strategy to make a decision in certain time. It will also depend on each situation of each person, where it will be different.
In my opinion, the reason why people sell coins for loss are:
- Setting stop loss to minimize more loss and then use the fund to another trading, to get profits in order to recover the loss. this commonly happens in most daily trader
- Trader who really needs cash emergency and in urgent condition. I have several similar experiences where I must sell coins under the bought price because I really need cash and I didn't want a loan.
- Panic trader, this is what commonly panic trader sells moreover because they are only trading for hype.

This is one of the reason why people prefer more to hold Bitcoin, moreover when the price dips or in the bearish era, Bitcoin is the most crypto that will be bought always, in order to prepare for the next bullish. There is a good cycle on Bitcoin that after bearish, there will be bullish era. And Bitcoin will never lie, will not be dead coin as altcoins that may be dead coins (not all altcoins but mostly).

For me personally, i will think some ways. If this is for a trading daily, I still will buy it and take profits  after rising up for small percentage. And about buying for investment, I think I will wait for little bit drop, but of course, this may be difficult to know when to drop. And now is a good time to buy because the price of Bitcoin is still at $47,895.47.
The market is crashing very drastically this day and this also influence the altcoin market. This may not be the dip, but at least, this rate is a good to buy for the next step of Bitcoin bullish era. Although I am little bit doubtful about the new ATH to create because of so many FUD that we face so far. But, I still really expect for this.

I think personally that I will not sell my Bitcoin or Ethereum or top coins into USDT or other stable coins and then to buy such meme coins. So far in my opinion, trading meme coin is full of risk and this exactly requires a high risk. And because I ma no longer a high-risk taker, I will prefer to skip this option. But it depends on you if you are a high risk taker with readiness to the risks, I think you can try it, but not  in a big amount of money. So if the meme coin is failed, you only can loose some, not much money.
This is exactly also not a financial advice because everybody here has their own way to take the risks.
I will prefer to choose investing in Metaverse coins for  the next step investment next year. Not on Meme coin.

I think mot only USD but also other fiats  for every country.
The use of fiat has been since long time ago and been used for every single transaction in the country or over broad.
We cannot replace fiat with Bitcoin. Moreover it is about society in which it is different each country. We can see many countries still ban crypto if used as currency, but fiat is always used for a currency and also payment transaction. Fiat is created by the government of the countries and commonly under the world bank. That is why Fiat has the biggest trust and also part in this life.

Exactly, never trust anyone that provide services of investment in crypto moreover with very sweet profits that are exactly super promising. This is commonly scam. Moreover, we must be also  careful and better if we are doing investment in ours choices, moreover to top coins or every coin or token that exactly has great value and also use case. Because during the time, the price may be increasing moreover if the product has good use case and has great progress and development.

HOLD is one of the strategy. There is also trading but it is also very risky.
Every hold of Bitcoin may lead you to have some profits, but it always also jeep risks.
Btw, we can also holding oir Bitcoib while staking or farming so that we can also accept the APY  and about HOLD, besides Bitcoin, ensure that your altcoins to hold are very precious and promising so it will not end as shitcoin. .

It is like everything will always have two sides:
Bad and good things
And everything or everywhere wil also require risks. Even it is only a very simple jib, it will always include risks. However the risks will be different.
Higher risks commminky will also offer higher benefits. But it may not impelement in all parties.
Btw, just do whatever we can and we want so that we don't force ourself to the risks that we cannot afford or cannot do it
