The market cap of Shiba Inu would be larger than what bitcoin is now if it even reached 2 cents. Which is a very optimistic target if you can hold. It's not that it's impossible to reach $1 for Shiba Inu but an investment of more than a trillion dollar on a meme coin that has hundreds of similar alternatives seems highly unlikely.
I'm not against memecoins but there ought to be a limit for them to rise. And with every bull follows a bear and with every passing year, there comes another huge meme coin. Meme coin could be a good tool to profit but you should not be greedy and keep on taking the profits.

There are overall effect of market movement on all coins but the case with solana is, they are on an  increasing trend stronger than any overall movements. Just a few months ago, they were being accumulated around $20 and the bull arrived on solana when all the market were on their sideways hitting $100 in a few months time, they for some months resisted around $100 and are again doubling on the overall bull. There has been some correction on the overall market and that's even true for solana but as they are on an increasing trend, they'll keep increasing while other coins move sideways.

If you have restored the metamask wallet with the mnemonic phrase, Goto Add account or hardware wallet. On there, choose Add new account. All your previous account would be restored one by one. The address would come up in the same order so add 4 times to get 4 accounts. You don't even need to remember the public keys, mnemonic phrase restores all the public and private keys associated with it.
If you have restored the wallet with private key, you can't restore your previous wallets.

Ok so it was a vulnerability on IOS app and that might have already been fixed. It's not that your private keys were going anywhere or the app developer using our funds. It just meant a loophole existed that could have been exploited to find your locally saved private key.
We always go through these bugs and vulnerabilities and as it advances with patches, it becomes more and more secure. I would have expected better security on trust wallet app but as we have moved forward, we know trust wallet is more secure than ever. I'd still trust the trust wallet as it's one of the best non-custodial wallet we have.

It's hard to predict the price range for every alts but what can be safely stated is almost all of the popular altcoins would beat their last all time high. The bitcoin has done it and is on a rising trend but we are not sure how far it would go. Similarly some altcoins have reached their all time highs while some are even struggling to achieve the high they got last year. Unlike previous bull, I feel the current one would be more selective and not every alts would achieve the similar level of success.

You can achieve that by going pow first and switching to pow in order to limit the supply by percentage of the total value.
Inflation of 2% means there would be slight increase of total supply every year but practically the number growth would be negligible.
Bitcoin is a coin that is limited in supply and practically decreasing. It's taken as an asset of limited supply and speculated to have an ever growing price.
For a coin that's increasing in number, the speculation about price growth could be lesser. It could be a good utility coin but might not attract long term holders.

Arbitrage are real but when there are even the slight profit involved, there are active bots that uses the exchange API to trade and transact between exchanges tapping the opportunity before a human can manually do. This is how we get nearly the same price in every exchange. There could be manual chances in newer exchanges that don't provide API but we need to be extra careful with newer exchange as they could be scam.
Some causal scam advertisement involves unrealistic arbitrage opportunities that looks mostly real but one of the step is a scam where you lose all your money.

There are no sure way of recognizing what new projects are going to shine in the future  and what not but there are clear signs that may hint one way or other.
Mpepe the you mentioned is not a crypto coin so it's not worth describing it's positive and negative aspects. The so called mpepe is a ponzi/scam website that claims to be launching the token soon but in reality are there to take balance from unsuspecting users. There are hundreds of real on chain ponzi if you are interested in. Mpepe seems to be an halfhearted effort from a novice html student to scam people who don't even have the expertise to launch a token.

Rather it would be better to say that if a new project if not attracting attention even if three months of it's launch, it's better to wait and see before investing in them.
A scam, ponzi or half hearted project might have an initial pump but won't last long, A 3 months would be a good time to filter them out.
For other coins project that doesn't attract good attention even in the first 3 months, it would take them large amount of time to gain the trust of the community and you'd always have time to get back to them when they are getting recognition.

I was not involved in anyway to get the JUP token but I waited for it's price to decrease so that I could buy it. It did decrease and I bought some but it kept decreasing and I went into a panic mode, so I had to sell it for loss. JUP seem to have stabilized a bit now reaching the price I had previously bought for but the Jupiter dex haven't been able to create more utilities rather than staking rewards and as staking rewards are being paid on JUP, they'd always have a selling pressure. Network tokens had been performing better than dex or exchange tokens in recent time.

Maybe counterintuitive but I realize that I'm bad at economic decisions. I happens to enter the crypto market at the wrong time and exit even on the worst time. I seem to have every of the most decreasing coins on my portfolio but the coins I had recently sold makes amazing rise.
The thing I learnt from my crypto journey is you need to have patience. If you have patience and committed to what you believe in you'd achieve the success. I learnt it not form being successful but missing out from being. Buy the coin of your choice and don't keep looking at the price. Set your targets high and keep waiting. Your buying instincts are generally right. Just don't sell them at loss.

It's a happy moment for everyone. The bull everyone was hoping for is finally here. I guess there are many more rises and falls to come on crypto. Not sure what the highest point be this time. It's not just bitcoin but a lot of altcoins to increasing in price, some more than others.
And a good diversification would never make you sad. Anyone seriously into crypto must have a decent amount of bitcoin which they can now profit from. Next week, the bitcoin price may go slow but another good alt from your portfolio may make you happy.

There's no actual reason for the rise in price of verge. The coin have lost it's price significantly and had a not so impressive price change on current bull. The coin finished all the mining last year and the coins supply is now limited, that makes it a good coin to speculate as no new coins would be minted.
Some bull might have been accumulating the coin taking in a good supply and to make the price active, they might have bought a huge chunk so that people get attention towards the coin. We could further seem some pumps and dumps in the price as a/some whale have bought it on a larger price.

I know the OP is older and if the OP had bought coins at that time, he/she could now be in good profit. Yet even at today's price there's high chance that you would make a profit, crypto always has been a growing sector and if you are smart enough to keep taking profits, you won't be trapped on the next bear as after each bull comes a bear.
There always are risk on investing but yesterday (OP date) was a much better time to enter the market than it is now.
There are still some alts that are low priced and could be the next big thing in future.

Ethereum has a multiple advantage over every of the sidechain networks and it's one of the most decentralized crypto. The problem that has stagnated the adoption of Ethereum in dapps and defis is it's fee and lower transaction speed. Any improvement from what we have now could easily be the reason for another 25% increase in price for Ethereum to what it's currently at. Except for Proto-Danksharding that increases TPS for the network, the best thing Dencun adds are further benefits for L2 networks on ethereum, it might be the only project working to promote L2 networks.

I've been using my saving to accumulate coins that I believe would have higher chances of bringing profits. I already have tinkles of many coins and I want to make my portfolio a diverse one. I have maintained an excel sheet to track my investment and I have a pre placed sell orders so that I don't miss on cashing out the profit.
As, I already have about 80% of my investment on popular alts (Top 100 on CMC), I'm looking to increase my holding on newer projects and trying to make it to 50% as there's are not much excitement on old coins. Newer coins are also good for grid trading for their volatile nature.

A utility token would live and prosper when you are doing or creating and environment to do new things. Releasing a token, creating a defi with staking are old and dumb ways to attract people.
Staking reward depends on how much the staked tokens can generate. If you are fixing the percentage of reward, you are inflating the market excessively making the price of the token fall even more.
There are now meme coin in every possible networks but their long term future also depends on the future of the chain they are generated on.

Nice initiative from Binance and CMC. It would not only introduce popular and promising projects to new investors but would also increase the competition between projects to achieve an award winning positions.
I'm no expert but still for me, the choice for best crypto of the year would be TON, rest of them are old and Solana though a worthy option, have issues to solve.
For Memecoin, I'd go with PEPE as they created their dominance in last year and are the most popular among the nominees.
Bridgebuilder is no doubt Blackrock, they have achieved a milestone success for Crypto.
And most innovative L1/L2/Crosschain would be ZKSync, though I'm still researching about the project and yet to invest, they when properly implemented could kill every other L2 options.

I'd say none. If we compare the past popularity and current rate of adoptance, it's not hard to see that both of these sidechains are dying. Ethereum would have some degree of pioneer bias that may make it last longer but cardano had failed even before actually starting the race. They have some running dapps but they lag behind in technical advancement like high TPS compared to other contemporary projects. Ethereum is so laggy that I have to think twice before choosing to make a transaction. And there are so few and unpopular options on cardano that I had never used any of its dapps even though I still hold a small number of ADA tokens.
