This topic should be more suited in the economic board, you can do well to move it there, also you didn't tell us the country that you're referring to.

Handworks being skills and businesses are both sources of income generation, and they're both very important in any economy to provide goods and services to the people. The major difference between them is that in most cases, starting and running a business requires more money than  rendering services with acquired skills, also it's easier to become rich in a thriving business than in a handwork or skill, because businesses reaches out to more customers then skills which deals only with a client at a time. Although if two individuals that don't have capital, one is going into business and the other is going into skills acquisition, the one that learned a skill will be more successful, because he doesn't need much capital to establish, while the other that chooses business will be struggling to sustain his business.

Compering the two, I think that Shiba Inu is more popular than Near, and despite that Near might have more utility than Shiba Inu, it'll still be many investors preference because it's a top memecoin. Apart from Bitcoin and a few top altcoins, other altcoins are quite risky to put money in, so like other commentors, I'll advise that he divides his money to buy the two, instead of one, so he'll minimize his risks, or invest more in the one that he feels more bullish on. Remember to invest the amount that you can afford to loose in altcoins.

No be lie, nobody suppose to force or pressure another person to invest in Bitcoin, even if im get di best intentions for di person wey im de tell. You fit to force a horse to the stream but you no fit to force am to drink water from di stream, so you fit to tell your trusted friends about di investment but e suppose be dem choice to decide weda dem wan go ahead with Bitcoin matter or not.

Nobody know am finish, you sabi Bitcoin investment, but e fit to get anoda investment wey de legit and wey de beta pass Bitcoin, and if person de preach dat investment to us, we fit no listen, unto say we don reason say na Bitcoin be di ultimate.

I believe that Solana, will be the most sought after altcoin in this coming bull run, it's gaining so much attention and popularity because of the many activities in it's network, investors are also interested in the tokens in it's network. Despite any issues in their Blockchain, which is due to the high demands in their network, people still have trust in them.

As for it's price reaching $7000 in a new ATH in the bull season, we all know that either the OP is exergeratinng or he meant to say $700, however the bull run goes, I'm quite positive that Solana, will make it's investors richer.

Memecoins investors can get rich and become millionaires there's no doubt about that, some people consider meme projects as get rich quick schemes. But the problem is what percentage of meme investors that gets rich through it? If they're 50% then it's risky business, if they're lesser than that, then it's a gamble, so the question that anybody that's going into memecoins should ask themselves is if they have what takes to invest in the meme space. Whatever the answer, I'll advise anybody to invest the amount that they can afford to loose. You can not compare memecoins to Bitcoin that is a store of value, memes are hype, pump and dump, get in early and exit early or be scammed.

People were really bullish about Bitcoin price speculation for the month of April, because they were thinking that the post halving will affect price positively, especially the newbies, but we're currently withnessing the opposite, this current dip will not give them the optimism to perhaps aim for anything close to seeing a price surge of up to $75k. I wouldn't speculate to seeing a price surge to that amount, but then this is the crypto market, it's the demand and supply of Bitcoin that'll make the final decision. We're entering bull season so I'm optimistic about price surge but I don't think that it'll start this month.

The phrase that in order to reach your target that you shouldn't rush is true but it doesn't apply in every decisions and businesses, because it's also said that delay can be dangerous, so there's some kind of businesses can give you the liberty of waiting, while others requires quick decisions. In crypto trading I guess that waiting and not rushing to enter a trade can be rewarding, because the market is volatile and it's not easy to speculate price, but there are some businesses that if you're not able to make quick decisions, someone else will and you'll be at lose. I think that the kind of business or situation that a person is in will determine if they need quick or slow decisions.

Education and skills acquisitions have one thing in common, they're both achieved by learning, one is in the four walls of a classroom, the other can be anywhere online or offline. They're both very important, education is a basic foundation for everybody, you need to be educated to learn how to read and write, broaden your view on general studies and in tertiary education, you'll understand very deeply about the concepts of your course, education gives you more opportunities to work in established companies. Skills acquisition makes a person to become a professional in their chosen field of work, and people who acquired skills can easily become self employed than very educated people who will be looking for white collar jobs.

Due to the high rate of unemployment in many countries, I think that if a person can get the least basic education, then skills acquisitions is better, because he can become self employed.

Your question is very valid, although I don't know if what you're showing is the real Satoshi, app, but it's very important to verify anything online before involving in it because of the handiwork of scammers. They'll just copy the real app, make a slight change and put it on social media, impersonating the real app, and unsuspecting victims will download it and be scammed. It's very important to research anything that has to do with online activities, because clicking on an unverified link can expose you to scammers, let's be cautious.

I'm glad that he's able to log into his metamask wallet, knowledge and experience is essential for someone to make right decisions, the problem was just a simple update issue, if he wasn't put through and didn't think of it, he'll never gain access into his wallet. A last option for wallet issues will be to import it and use seed phrase to access the wallet again, but I'm glad that it didn't get to that extent before he found the solution to his problem, knowledge is power.

I still consider Litecoin, a top altcoin anyday, it's not a shitcoin, so it's still worth holding, we're experiencing price dip in Bitcoin and altcoins, and when Bitcoin starts to bull and activates altcoins bull run too, we'll hopefully see Litecoin, shine again. People say that Litecoin, is remembered anytime that Bitcoin transaction fees begins to hit the roof, and if Bitcoin transaction fees normalizes, then Litecoin, is relegated again, I think that it might not rival Bitcoin, but if it's dev. team is able to add innovations to it, we might see an ATH in the future.

I salute our oga @Igebotz, for im great efforts for dis our local board, right from di time wey I join dis forum and come de active for dis local board, im follow for di people wey de for di forefront to make sure say our forum de acknowledge quality posts. Moderator of dis forum na work wey im don de tirelessly de do before now, and as e don become official say na him be our moderator, I de very overjoyed, because na quality posts of Bitcoin, altcoins and national news wey de relevant na im we go de see now. You have our maximum support and cooperation my oga.

Many Bitcoin investors didn't envisage that price will go this dip, and now it's happening, if anyone has the funds to buy now, they don't need to hesitate and hoping that price will dip further, because the market is volatile, you don't know when price will start rallying upward. So the point is that now is a very good time to buy, nobody knows tomorrow, that is why I tell my friends that people that diligently do DCA method, don't worry about price speculations on the short term. Halving has come and gone, and from research I know that bull run will follow, only that we don't know when it'll start, so any dip during bull run build up is a good time to buy Bitcoin.

You're absolutely right, the matter on ground is a crime case, which I believe concerns CZ and Binance, it has nothing to do with hack or the exchange going under, the former CEO was fined heavily and given a very light sentence. I guess he'll serve his time, learn his lessons and count his loses, then move on, who knows maybe he'll come back and take over his job.

I think that the OP was just giving us a reminder about not trusting centralized exchanges, that they can go down anytime and sink with investors funds, not your keys not your coins, it's worth mentioning when we're talking about exchanges and crime.

I think that the BRICS is basically a formation of countries that wants to break the monopoly of the US dollar, as the recognized currency in international trades, because over the years most of these countries have been outstanding economically and technologically. If they're able to achieve this, then that means they'll reduce the dominance of the dollar internationally, and gradually weaken the US as the world power, only one country can not achieve this, so this BRICS alliance can form the synergy to make it happen. It's good that they're inviting countries who share their visions because there's power in unity, but disunity will be their greatest undoings.

The US SEC approval of Bitcoin ETF has opened the door for any other ETFs, I heard that Hong Kong, SEC, recently approved it's Bitcoin ETF, so I wouldn't be surprised if Australia, follows on the list of approvals. As for new ETF approvals impact on Bitcoin price, I don't know if any will have the effect that it did when the first was approved early this year, where we saw massive price pump that even made us to see a new ATH before halving, I'm saying this because we didn't see any positive impact when Hong Kong, ETF was approved, instead we're seeing further price dip. As for Ethereum ETF, I'm positive that it'll happen sooner or later, because it's a top altcoin, second only to Bitcoin.

We don't have one united government for the whole world, so despite the prejudice that some countries have about Bitcoin, others truly embrace it, that means that Bitcoin can not go into extinction because some people or government don't like it. I know that there's a total ban on Bitcoin in some countries while there's some levels of restrictions and regulations in others, despite these, people are still using it in those countries, because it's decentralized, although they do so at their own risks. The most important thing about Bitcoin is that it's adoption is increasing everyday and more people are seeing it as a store of value, and this movement is what will compel skeptical governments to accept it eventually.

I can't agree less with what you're saying, for those that have the resources to accumulate Bitcoin now, this temporary price dip that we're experiencing now is the best time to do just that, the more it dips, the better for it's buyers, because eventually price surge will happen, as we're entering bull run.

Like some comments on this thread, I agree that it's not all altcoins that are junk, I wouldn't consider top altcoins like Ethereum, BNB, Solana and the rest of the reputable bunch as worthless, they're worth holding, and during Bitcoin bull run, it'll boost the altcoins bull run too. I'll agree if you call most new projects junks, because most of them are scams.

A new memecoin can possibly emerge and catch up or even top doge and Shiba Inu, but the problem is that so far none has stepped up yet for the challenge, leaving this two at the top of the meme ranking. The problem with memecoins is that there are too many of them and most of them are scams, making it hard to pick the ones that can last as these top memes.

The memecoin that's mentioned in the OP might be the next shib, we'll never know, just like many others that are in the memecoins category, so it's for every investor to do their research and take their chances on the ones that they choose, because they're risky. Remember to invest the amount that you can afford to loose.

Most of di people wey de carry dis wrong mentality de enter market na mainly newbies wey never get di experience of halving before, and as dem don hear plenty hypes about bull run, say na wen Bitcoin price de continually surge and investors go get plenty ROI, and na "after halving" di bull season de start. So dem don carry plenty money buy Bitcoin, halving don pass, instead of price to surge e begin to de dip, and many of dem go panic and begin to de sale.

E de important for newbies to research and gain knowledge about how Bitcoin de work before dem begin to invest, odawise dem go de make wrong decisions, some go even vex and say Bitcoin na scam. Dis na my first halving experience, and I no worry about wetin de happen now, because I don gather plenty experience for dis forum, so I know say bull run go happen, na just a matter of months and events go kickstart di price surge gradually.
