Any ideas if some crypto exchanges will follow Coinbase? Or some exchanges may become bullish about this? We all know that some crypto exchanges these days got their own tokens, which have different uses or benefits if you hold them within their respective platform.
And addition to the Coinbase filing, could be a disaster for Bitcoin or the whole crypto sphere once Coinbase will be rejected?

This method is really useful and I am using it regularly.
The best time to do this method is when the transaction fee is cheap, just like 1 satoshi/byte.
If you want to check the current transaction fee, you can use btc.com or coinb.in or this.

For more information about this, @LoyceV created a useful thread for inputs consolidation here.

Additionally method for buying method these days can be done on average.
Let's say if your friend will buy now at around $44,000 price of Bitcoin, let's say 50% first of $500, her/his choice, then the remaining can be bought next weeks/months, even which price Bitcoin will be.
Honestly, it's really difficult to spot the bottom. But if your friend is for the long term and he will buy and hold then come back in years/decades, the price will not matter for sure.

Such exchanges want to protect their users or customers.
One of the reasons why Gemini or other exchanges only added few cryptocurrencies or trading pairs to there is the market cap, if you notice the list of tradable coins on Gemini, most of them are a high market cap, trading volume too. So it means that the market is active for those coins, a lot of people that are buying & selling.
And also, some exchanges and maybe Gemini too are very strict when it comes to fundamentals, that's why they don't list random altcoins.

Would you rather buy dollars than Bitcoin?
There are a lot of methods how small investors or average people on how to buy Bitcoin even how it is already expensive, just like DCA (Dollar-cost averaging), buying the dips.

And if you are thinking for the long term, the $100k price of Bitcoin for me is extremely cheap. If Tesla able to buy $1.5b worth of Bitcoin at around the price of $30k, why us, small investors, or average people can't buy even a few bucks of Bitcoin?

Which tweets?
Elon Musk is a funny person sometimes. Some of his tweets are purely just for fun or meme purposes, some may sarcastic.
Even how Elon Musk will make some tweets in the future, people will start to adopt it, people will learn and start to treat it normal, one example is the FUD spreading on random news articles or sources a few years ago.

Bitcoin price is volatile could because of some reasons.

• Speculation - different views on Bitcoin. If you are not familiar with or no knowledge at all of Bitcoin, you will not buy it.
• Bitcoin is still early - a lot of people still not introduced to Bitcoin. Less adoption, less trading volumes.
• 24/7 can be traded. Compare with stock markets that they have opening hours and closing hours for trading

Comparing other assets with Bitcoin especially with the stock market is good with the price only, but technically on fundamental, they are totally different. And they're also some charts that showing some correlations with other assets' price on Bitcoin price, just like gold.

I believe having a lower market cap, is more prone to price manipulation, whales can able make some move to price themselves.

Nah. Even how Binance is very careful to check before listing, there are still a lot of altcoins that are listed on their exchange that may turn into SCAM or some of them are already scam but people still don't notice it.
Since at the first, how can we define a "SCAM COIN" at first? Can we tell Ripple(XRP) is a scam coin? Bitcoin Cash? It's kinda difficult to tell if there is no specification.

The total of 90.5k BTC that MicroStrategy owns at around $24,000 price average now. They are still up around 50% if you compute it now, but this is not the deal, not the short term. Michael Saylor indeed looking for the long term, that's why they bought another around $1billion worth of Bitcoins recently at above $50,000 price.

+1 with adaseb, who else don't want Bitcoin with limited supply compare to those dollars with you don't the supply 

$40,000 - $42,000 if our next stop will be around $100,000. Since OP is using the 2017 top or price action, which seems also valid for me.

I agree on with the chart too, especially lately Bitcoin can't even manage to stay above $50,000 which the $40,000 level is really near and very possible. Even $30,000 is possible this time.

But if we will follow the chart, so even we will buy now and dump below $40,000 we will still have no loss if the top will be around $100,000.

If you are a trader, this kind of activity may profitable to you BUT risky too.
I already tried this before, it's like "go with the flow", even you are late, but it's up to you how you define late with this kind of activity, but most of my entry before was all profitable, entered at pullback then I am sticking with my goal or price target, profit is already a profit.
Some also are taking advantage of this activity by betting against it, like maybe after some huge price action, they are betting against it, to drop if you are against on the pump, vice versa with bullish if is dumping.

Long-term indeed, imagine Bitcoin is now suitable to store billion of a company's balance sheet? So, what are the reasons for those company for putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet, especially Tesla, CEO is the world richest man in the world? Those billions are not joke for them, a lot of people will get affected if those can easily be lost.

Who else in the world doesn't want Bitcoin which is only limited supply compare with your fiat that is an unlimited supply.

Speaking of the news you said OP that interest you, there are a lot of news sources out there that may start to spread FUD, yes we can say most of their articles or news are good but sometimes they are the source of FUD (some negative news w/out fact or proof) that may manipulate you and may lead you to losses.

For OP. If you want also to look for clients within this forum, you can. I already tried to do some coding gigs with a fellow member here before.

My advice if you want to start in this forum is you create your Announcement thread, or your own thread showcasing your talent & skills. Just like creating your portfolio, but within this forum and within a thread.
Additionally, much better if you provide some of your projects before that may be proven your skills and plus points to your clients.
Btw, you have quite good skills and experience, you can easily find clients.

Solana is the big thing here, it was the key to why KIN is pumping, and as you can see FTX exchange just recently added KIN to their exchange.
And if you also check Solana with recent days/hours, it is also pumping. Solana and FTX Exchange got some connection and that's why I believe it is pumping because of Solana at all. Let's hope the pump is organic.

Update everyone
The guy on the video got another video a few days ago which I saw on the Twitter of @DocumentingBitcoin.

If you will check the tweet here: https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1363157120041033732?s=20

The answer for the majority question of the people to the guy is he HODL along the way? The answer is yes, and as he said, he bought more and HODL again. Congratulation to him for having no weak hands, he really worth the patience!

If he lost the private keys, he can probably change the donation bitcoin address on the bitaddress website anytime.
As what @BitMaxz said, he/she still active on Github. But the repository of Bitaddress is still no changes or other commits since 2016.
The owner got diamond hands , HODLER  .

I think OP wants to say is their own token run under Ethereum network, that's why the transaction fees can is high if you do transactions under Ethereum.

A solution is to find other bounty campaigns that don't run under Ethereum network or some payment method are not in Ethereum network.

This has already happened recently with Amepay bounty campaign, there is a user who created a thread under Scam Accusation because of this problem.
Check the thread here: Amepay does not keep payment promises Bounty

I am bullish on Reef because they are powered by the Polkadot ecosystem and they are also another DeFi project which is one of the trends these days. They are under Polkadot so I believe users will not complain about the transaction fees just like on Ethereum now. If you also try to look at their roadmap, at Q3 2021, there you can see the NFT Baskets. So, they will gonna enter the NFT which is starting to trend again these days.

Have you tried to check the GAS fee you set? You can try to compare the two with the same GAS price for the transaction fee.

But I think it is because 1Inch is using Balancer as liquidity source instead of Uniswap or other sources.
If you are really concerned about the transaction fee, then Uniswap is the best for you.

You can read more about the comparison of 1Inch and Uniswap here: https://dappgrid.com/1inch-vs-uniswap/
