I've seen quite a few of these meme stuff recently with once established projects trying to use them to revive their native tokens. Solana is leading that pack. As long as penny and little-to-nothing-price-worth projects continue to come to the market, there will be people who will find them appealing. This set of investors are likely to see these cheap tokens as alternatives to those they perceive as already high in price. Some are going to invest ignorantly while some will do it knowingly with the aim of getting out before a dump. Whoever that gets caught up in memetoken investment shouldn't blame anyone if it goes sour.

You can also make use of Poocoin or live chart on the geckoterminal site for plotting your chart for position taking on any instrument if you're a TA (technical analyst) person. You can also make use of Metatrader 5 if the instruments you're trading can be found on it.

Of course, most newly listed tokens pump immediately they hit the market and that's because of FOMO. It's the same way they pump that they can also dump. As a matter of principle, I don't buy tokens immediately they're listed. I allow the maddening scrabble for them settle down before going in on them. This has always worked.

To be frank with you, not many here will know there's a Mempool site (as shown in that screenshot) where they can check what fees should be except that which they see on their wallet apps while sending out. I use myself as a reference point because it hasn't been long I started checking tx fees on Mempool. Honestly, this fee stuff is killing, gosh!

I think the ilks of the person so described by OP is a major part of this high tx fee we're subjected to at a time like this. They keep RBFing and keep fees going up and that means miners will keep dropping tx with very low fees and that expectedly will keep transactions running into days. I've some Bitcoin transactions hanging for almost a week now, both incoming and outgoing. It's disturbing and frustrating at the same time. For those who are arguing Bitcoin as solely a means of payment, can they still hold that view in the face of what's happening now? You pay for goods at a grocery store with Bitcoin and the seller will have the patience of waiting for confirmation for days? Who can endure that? This regular congestion is the bane of Bitcoin whether the maximalists accept it or not. Sadly, these transactions can be done using stablecoins or other alts and get scaled through within seconds or at most a few minutes. Before anyone argues about volume of transactions being low on those alts, they should check Tether first.

I think it's the usual newbie mindset that OP expressed. They aren't asking how to BUY but how they could get it for free.

I remember imagining something like that too during my noob days. Mine was imagining that someone could mistakenly send Bitcoin to my wallet especially from those dormant whale accounts as I read a lot of stories then of those who mistakenly sent Bitcoin to wrong addresses. I wished I got a share too from such largesse. It's normal for newbies to express such thought until they get properly into this industry and find out good things don't come that cheap.

Nope, Dogecoin isn't dead right now. It's just gathering steam and will rally expectedly too during this incoming bull rally. For me, it's still doing well. Remember that it got to $0.1 last week. It's a matter of time before it begins to push further up again to embrace and surpass its current ATH at $0.7+. If I were you OP, I wouldn't give up on Doge. At least, not until this present rally is concluded.

Well, I don't like the idea of people being discriminated against, whether of their skin colour or of their work structure. I believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. However, I don't believe those who do menial jobs should be paid as much as their counterparts who are skilled. No, definitely. It costs money to acquire skills and knowledge and those who pay to acquire such aren't fools. They know what they stand to gain in future and that's why they're acquiring them. Ideas run this world, not strength. In the past we were given to believe that hard work paid but we know now that it isn't true. Smart work pays.

You care to enlighten us more on this as I don't see how that can be possible because a certain link was bookmarked or left on homepage and then someone's account can be exposed to hack? Again, this is reason enough for members to stake their Bitcoin address here for easy account recovery in case of hack.

I don't think that's a bad idea but I believe there are veteran members here who will advise against that, I guess, and they will give safety measure for a reason not to try it.

December 2017 was a cumulation of the post Bitcoin halving rally from 2016 and it ushered in an astonishing ATH of $19k+. It was glorious and unbelievable season for Bitcoin. Most analysts never saw that coming too. Many naysayers were proved wrong that year. That was a bubble year and it brought so much attention to Bitcoin.

If we're going to have an honest comparison, it shouldn't be December 2017 and December 2023. 2017 was a post halving year while 2023 is a pre-halving year. If anything, the comparison should be between post–halving years (2017 & 2025) or pre–halving years (2019 & 2023). Comparing 2023 and 2017 is a handicapped one.

No one can accurately tell you what Bitcoin price will be in January 2024; whether it will be lower or higher than what we've now. My suggestion to you is if you've got the money now to invest in Bitcoin (since you've already made up your mind on it) just go ahead and do it now. Don't wait for January. 2024 will be filled with price chase. It's going to be a FOMO year because of the expected halving around April 2024. Those who are dilly-dallying and foot dragging now will have much regrets soon when price begins to pump as usual as it's characteristics of a bull rally.

It's not, "that trading is changing", quoting your choice of expression there. It's just that modern traders are beginning to develop new concepts to challenge the market, so to say. What constitutes SMC – Smart Money Concept – have all been there years ago without anyone knowing they could be used to trade the market. Concepts like OB – Order Block, Value Gaps, Breaker Blocks, Market Structure and the rest of Market Shift, CHoCH and BoS, were all there all along.

As for whether TA works or not, I think crypto trading is mostly controlled by news than technicals. That's not taking anything away from the perspective of technical analysts. The market still makes use of such.

Of course, if I were you I would stop donating to that course if it changed. Literally, everyone puts their money where their mouth is, and that should drive our donations too. I can't put my money on a project I know negates principles I stand for. It's not going to happen and I believe anyone that allows it for the sake that the public would perceive them as peaceful is only lying to themselves and a hypocrite. I may even make a publication about the situation so the public know where I stand on that.

Not many know that not trading at all is also a trading strategy. It's better to restrain oneself from trading by sitting on the sidelines until the coast is clear than indulging in trading and loosing the little capital one has. Trading, in itself, isn't as easy as many people make it to be. Those who think it's a short cut to riches have always had their fingers burnt.

This, in itself, screams SCAM! Mr Li is in complete connivance of that. Your wife should run from it. The first set of transactions where she made profit were all baits to get her interested and then commit more funds in future. Scammers know how to get their victims and they know greed is the greatest undoing of man. Man is insatiable in nature. He makes something out of nothing and then he begins to expect more, the expectations grow wild and he throws caution to the wind. That's the nature of man. That's what your wife is likely to get at the end of this if she commits more to Mr Li and his cohorts. She will be scammed. Run!

You're right and this is why I'm never in the mood to applaud any newbie account I see gathering merit because I summarily conclude  that it's an alt of a highly ranked account. Not as if it's any offence to the best of my perspicacity but applauding them is already a waste of such encouragement.

Going forward, I advise genuine newbies to just be themselves and post without earning merit in mind and merit will trickle in from time to time. Again, they can utilize the available threads created to help users who are active and constructive in their posts rank up. Such threads are now ubiquitous here this day.

I had to go reread my post to check for the abuse you accused me of or were you talking of another user there? In my comment, I merely pointed your attention to reality on ground. Except, you chose my observation and information to mean abuse? To that, I've no power over your understanding of what I said there. Anyway, let me not overflog that issue now. For your last comment, of course honest projects (with use case and utility) will survive. It's not enough to have a project but to have one that solves a problem or creates more opportunities.

You're posting back to back in a roll and thereby infringing on a rule here. It's a matter of time before mods take your posts down. As for your promotion, many people here have been bitten severely trying out new projects advertised by relatively new accounts; I doubt if what you're trying to put across will be well received here at such a time. Anyway, I wish you all the best. However, to get more exposure for your project, I think you should get a prominent account here to run a bounty for you.

You're referring to FA – Fundamental Analysis, to ascertain what news is going on with whatever coin/token one wants to invest in before buying. Unfortunately, many people buy before doing the actual analysis. The simple reason being that most of us buy on FOMO. Once we get a heck of a project that's hyped would do whatever ROI we rush to grab at it before going back to read the White papers. This type of hastiness often leads to regret and loss of investment because most of such projects end up as shitty as they can be with little or no value at all.

Again, we can't emphasize enough of what ills lack of emotional control can do to a trader. The mastery and control of one's emotions is half way a solution to a trading problem.

I think that was the original idea that gave Bitcoin its publicity during its nascent days besides it eliminating the bottleneck associated with middleman. Sadly, we can't say it's the same thing this day. Privacy is now threatened as exchanges are now asking for KYC. The bottleneck is again back in the form of miners as congestion on the Blockchain is killing the game. If Bitcoin had started this way, it would've long been dead, with zero or no interest sustaining it.

BTW OP, your username is hilarious 🤪

Even if the success stories aren't wildly exaggerated, it's still not a good thing to be carried away by them. Envy no man to want to be like them. It's vanity. Don't try to make your sowing season another man's harvest season. Time and season is what we all should be watching out for. Everyone is on their own track and no one should jump tracks. Follow your passion diligently with focus and gradually you will get to that finishing line. Yes, it can grind slowly and sometimes will look discouraging but definitely it will pay off.

Crypto is a money spinner but not all crypto investments will grant you success. I'm sure newbies reading my comment now won't give it a second reading. They will think it's a waste of their screen time until they learn what I'm saying from experience. It doesn't always have to be by your own bad experience to learn a thing. You can also learn from the experiences of others and add them to your knowledge. It's not that hard.

Don't buy a hyped coin or token. Buy one with utility. Don't key into cock and bull stories. If it sounds too good to be true, run away from it. It's most likely going to end as a scam.
