the only thing that we get from your post here is that you are showing your ability to pull random numbers out of your ass and then make then appear real.

you are wrong. when it comes to bitcoin price everything is about drama. and these days these two people are making the drama so that they can make money out of the chaos that they create.

it depends on whether you want to make profit or not. for example you can never expect a top ranking coin such as ETH to get pumped 1000%! that is simply impossible and will never happen. but you can expect a low rank coin to be pumped 1000% in a very short time with a high volume. in fact you can see this happening every week in the market. sometimes even on a daily basis!!!

in my opinion if you are forced to take steps that are time consuming then you can not call that an "airdrop" that is a job and you are getting paid for your time! which is why last airdrop that i participated in was more than a year ago (bitcoin fork airdrops which i received free money for doing nothing).

as a matte of fact i believe that this year was the best year for any newbie to join this market because anyone who joins this year and can be successful in this dumping market will show that they are not just some bag holding idiot who loses money. and such people will become super rich pretty soon because they will learn how to use the pump and dumps to make money.

sadly for most people, they are not going to realize this for a long time and they will only wake up and pull their heads out of the sand when it is already late and price is already on the way to ATH.
something like last year when they refused to believe in bitcoin and waited around not buying until price went above $10k and headed for $20k then they started FOMO buying.

this has been a very strange news. maybe there is more to it than what the news sites are publishing but in any case i believe that if the US government keeps this nonsense up we will see a lot more Satoshis in the scene who will create decentralized systems that kicks US out of everything.

the only good news is that every shitcoin has a short lifetime which means they will die sooner or later and when they do die they open up room for more shitcoins to be created and take their place instead.
you can take a look at all the shitcions that were created, pumped and then died in the past 10 years to see lots of examples.

at this point bitcoin SV is an airdrop so you shouldn't buy the airdrop. instead if you want to buy anything you should buy the  coin that can give you the free airdrop coin and that coin is bitcoin cash.

but be very careful because you are taking a very big risk and that risk grows bigger with every day that we get closer to this fork because the price is reaching its max thanks to the hype and the dump is imminent.

brainwallet is just a code that takes an string input and turns that into a private key or seed in some cases. this code can not die!!! it still exists out there, there are even sites that do it. you can find the source code on github too.

but people now know how bad using a brainwallet is and they are aware of the risks so they don't use them at all anymore.

one interesting thing that i have noticed about those who speculate a rise of bitcoin because of ETF and are seemingly so excited about it is that they are all saying it out of emotions not out of speculation. in other words majority of them want the price rise and since it doesn't, they think ETF is the solution for that so they ignore everything else and only focus on the possible positive side of it alone.

unfortunately i can not see any kind of "crypto" boom in our near future because the "cryptos" are mostly pump and dumps and you can not expect any kind of real booms from any of them.
the pumps can only take the price so high before it busts and the coin gets dumped hard. as you can see from the market of this year as the altcoins continue getting dumped to this day.

bitcoin is another matter. the US economy might collapse and we start seeing some economy crisis and in that case bitcoin may start shining and increases its price.

you are only repeating FUDs. bitcoin has never been banned in China and will probably never be banned in China, this includes both trading bitcoin and mining it.
this legalization is some weird news that has been circulating since China legalized bitcoin back in 2012.

sometimes reading these topics i feel like some people are trying so hard to come up with some arbitrary question to ask here so that they have asked something. possibly to increase post count!

earning cryptocurrencies is not the same as earning profit from cryptocurrencies and i think you are talking about the later.

in that case you should know that this year has been one of the most profitable years in the history of altcoins. for example if you look at some altcoins you can see they have dropped as much as 90% and that is a huge pr of it if you know how to short them. for example instead of bag holding you could have shorted a coin like ETH which got dumped from $1500 to $200 and make a fortune!

bounty hunters are only interested in bounties because they are getting paid to be interested in them and having "faith" in them. and it is partly because nowadays there isn't any alternative way for them to make money/bitcoin from this forum.
i assure you that if there were more signature campaigns that did anything but bounty and they could earn from them, then we would have seen bounty die right away!

let me ask you this, what makes $17 trillion big? and why do you think that the current $100 billion is not big?

being "big" is a comparison. for example if you say 1 meter is big, it may be big if you are talking about a sandwich but it is small if you are talking about height of a person!
so what is it that you are comparing bitcoin market cap ($17 trillion) with that makes you think it is big and not a small one?

these "positive" things you are talking about always exist. they don't go anywhere. every day we have something positive about bitcoin but now that price is not moving you happen to focus on them more and become surprised that price isn't rising. the fact is bitcoin will rise but not because of some positive news but because its adoption is growing.

you can't make these things happen. they happen on their own. specially when it comes to something new you can't force people to change their ways. if the alternative way introduces is good enough then they will come on their own.

in this case you can't force people to use altcoins because they don't want to. they will either stick to fiat or use bitcoin if they wanted a decentralized currency.

the day that i start listening to what others on the internet tell me is the day i give up trying to invest in anything at all. specially if the source is Goldman Sachs!
when it comes to bitcoin everyone knows that manipulation is a thing so they try their hands at it.
