He's more than a whale, most of whale who try to manipulate the market will definitely try to pay some media or certain group of fudders but with elon it just needs his own tweet from his own account that makes him spend almost no expense to manipulate the market.
Imagine if you have the power to do that, influencing people just by using your own freaking tweet and of course elon is manipulating the market like so hard, there's reason why he keep taunting the whole crypto community despite SEC warns, that is for his own benefit.
and he got all the time to keep doing just that.

That's true but ETH market cap is still too big to get overtaken easily in my opinion, the 3rd coins have relatively low gap compared to the 4th coin that's why the position keep shifting overtime but eth has established quite strong market cap as its foundation to retain its position.
on the other hand project like cardano could be a strong competitor in the future, but bitcoin with defi is what gonna steal market dominance once it's booming and people figures it out, so many factors that could actually change the crypto market as a whole but not really much people knows about it.

that's seems unbelievable based on scenario you mentioned,if you know HD wallet principle such mnemonic is used to generate the private key and if even the owner of the wallet doesn't have any idea whats his mnemonic is, then I doubt any hacker could just come up with some random made up words and access the wallet.
Some people might always trying to say that their wallets got hacked out of the blue without doing anything phishy but who knows the real scenario right?

ERC20 is a standard protocol for creating token in Ethereum blockchain, you can call a token an ERC20 token if it follows the standard, BSC or Binance Smart Chain is a chain owned by binance (different to Binance Chain) that uses EVM for dapps, etc and to become a alternative chain for ETH due to high fees. BNB is binance's coin in a nutshell running in Binance Chain (different than BSC) but have its wrapped version in various chains as well in form of token (ERC20 or BEP20). CMIIW.

when an NFT platform tells you to change network that possibly means their platform running on different blockchain than what you currently connected to, so to change network is to either choose other network in metamask option or to add a custom network using an RPC URL provided.

it's retrievable only if the company intended to after all the privkey is on the company's. even if the company have any excuses i refuse to believe that they don't store the privkey because that's gonna be such an amateurish move so a big chance you could get your USDT again after all it's trc20.
however such company usually resolves problem very slowly so you need to always follow up your problem regularly.

TSLA stock already dumping no need such action to make elon stop manipulating market, after all, if people just stop giving much attention to elon there's no market manipulation, but most of people giving the power for elon that he takes advantage of after figuring it out.


He certainly isn't directly manipulating the market but he did take advantage of it as proven by many of his tweet that seem to give a clue about pump and dumps and the proof is SEC putting elon musk in their watchlist and that's certainly for a reason.

Not really, it's just market phschology in general since most of altcoins are paired against bitcoin so when it crashes people also getting afraid of bitcoin making their coin looks less valuable but some of altcoins also not really dependant on bitcoin but mostly are shitcoins that usually stray away from following bitcoin market price movement.
but seriously though, you should consider seeing your asset more in btc value than in dollar value of you truly believe in crypto future since it means you're seeking for future profit rather than despairing at the current bearish,

It's basically selling ownership from the artist to someone else and the hash of the digital file of the art itself stored on chain. I know some people gonna say it's useless to buy an art nft since the file could be digitally copied by like anyone but copying is different than having the right of ownership.

It will, and it's just beginning of NFT you can imagine those triple A games gonna implement NFT to their system and it's not gonna go anytime soon, NFT market until today still fluorish as ever, the thing you see about NFT being sold for million dollars are mostly just gimmick but NFT market is indeed have the potential.
See blockchain based gaming platform etc that uses NFT in their system, they are still popular until today, in a nutshell these are the modern version of cryptokitties but more sustainable long term.

You're dreaming too much if you think elon gonna tweet TRON lol, but I don't really hope elon to tweet the coin i'm holding, a coin that pumps becuase of his tweet also means could easily be dumped at the time elon turns his back and become somewhat negative against the coin, it could even drive the coin price further, remember in crypto market a price dump easily rather than pumping because of the panic seller. Its basically like trying to lure in a disaster which isn't really nice in the long run, him just staying in his bubble with the coin that he supports without trying to tweet any other coin is enough for me.

such a great feat indeed and that's just very little percentage of people actually uses bitcoin or crypto currencies, imagine if the coverage of cryptocurrency spreading across the globe and atleast 50% of population become bitcoin users, the market cap gonna be the biggest we as human gonna ever see but that's also mainly because bitcoin isn't limiting who can invest to this coin, so the capital coming to blockchain is really rapid and that's why the market cap could overtake Apple just within a decade though it's now already decreasing again.

I always expect a financial institution to eventually sell out all their posession but many of them also gonna hold it and maybe doing some sell but gradually however that's not gonna affect the market since they are smart enough to figure out how to retain the profit they get without getting affected by the market depth, unlike elon that keep boasting about tesla dumping, etc .the institutional investor are also gonna be more invested in crypto technology so I doubt they even gonna sell all their posession of crypto, they are coming here not just for flipping money but maybe investing for the technology in long term.

I mean, IDO has been very succesfull for this past months but this ITO really new, also ITO is not Initial Token Offering but Initial Twitter Offering, maybe they gonna make token sale through social media platform but i don't really know why they choose social media like twitter that got swarmed by many scammers of all things.
Maybe you should make this topic once ITO has held fundraising few times then we can know the advantages and disadvantages, otherwise it's like asking a question to someone who lacks knowledge about this ITO thing.

Most of meme coins just gonna get dumped to oblivion within few months forward, the hype is slowly fading or maybe the hype already gone, exception though for a coin thats already got listed to some big
reputable exchange they gonna survive for long, there's always some oblivious people who "invest" without even knowing the thing they invested to and that's why these exchanges opens for big opportunity to grow market cap.
Maybe the only coins that gonna survive are Shib and Doge, the other less relevant meme coin gonna vanish into thin air.

not a great lesson about cryptocurrency but a great lesson about meme coin, big difference there. most of the crypto that have real product gonna stay for a long time and  gonna grow because the development that gets better overtime
pump and dump coins on the other hand come and go, history speaks itself, most of pump and dump coin gonna left unrecognized within 4 years, but of course there's an exception for a coin like doge thats endorsed by person like elon.

It's affected by the bearish i think, everyone holding their coin and not much transaction happened that comes from dapps. but like a month ago, the gas could go down this low but could increase again suddenly.
eth 2.0 has nothing to do with it, even btc transaction fee at this time around also decreasing because people refuse to make transaction, after all if you see the pattern, in every pump the gas price or transaction cost in general gonna increase

The problem with people who are too afraid to hold is because they have this fear of the market going down to as low as zero where the chance for that to happen is really slim, these people don't know what in every coin they sold there's people waiting to buy more and more
and that's gonna happen even if the market is about to go down to about 90% some people gonna buy these coins in bulk and wait for another recovery.
If you know that the market has really low chance of going down that much because peolpe are also setting up buy order you gonna have a strong hand, remember we only lose when we sell.

We gonna hit that in short amount of time and what I mean by short amount of time is less than a decade I think, remember the market become this big just in one decade, what's holding it from reaching such market cap if the adoption has increased right now compared to it was before but many
potential adopters of crypto still left untouched, that means we gonna see a lot speedier crypto adoption around the world and the recent various innovations coming up to the blockchain space also contribute to double the adoption. We just need one more thing that gives huge benefit to end users more and we're set for another massive bull run.

agree, many coins actually have bright future but if what he meant with that is a coin that has "similar" potential to Bitcoin to reach this much price from just few cents as initial price then it's gonna be difficult but the key is low total supply
and huge community supporting it, the blockchain could have other feature to make it looks more valuable but XRP and Ethereum is out of the question because their total supply are uncapped as i heard.
tbh, many modern coins nowadays have overwhelmingly huge total supply so i'm not surprised if there's not any coin that have similar specs and potential like btc.
