Looking back, yeah we did reach $27k again, unfortunately, it was just short live again as there are speculators who might have sold around the figures to make profits. As for the Blackrock ETF, most likely it will be next year that we will either see a big news or not.
Hopefully, we can get the approvals already so that it can also help a lot in the big bull run that everyone is expecting next year. To the point that the prediction is a conservative 6 digits in the beginning of the run.
I would guess that we are trying if it is the time or not yet, and that is why we get higher and then go lower. I understand that there is this type of feeling where everyone wants to already see it go up, but for that to happen we need to all buy, and we do not all buy at the same period, I do not mean like same hour, but not even same week. So some people get hyped and buy, make it go up, and then we end up seeing it change a bit as well, I feel like if others do not join them, it is not going to happen as something that is better. We just have to understand that bull run happens when there are millions of people willing to buy daily, when it happens once with a small increase and doesn't happen again later on, that doesn't really change. I think it's just normal to see people buy, but I guess those who sold are just speculators and short term investors who just wanted to make or squeeze profit as obviously they are just day traders. But if we are going to look at the long term, and as I have said, maybe in the future we will have this approvals and it might be next year. So it's good to buy but at least hold them as the block halving is coming next year. |

Ok, I guess the Warriors will have to look for another big man still? Or will tend still contend with the small line up. But I do not think that it will be enough, currently we have big men, like Jokic, Embiid and even Giannis or AD, and with Draymond mostly playing them, it will be hard for the Warriors with the small line up that they have right now. They don't have the advantage on the speed, their best player is above 30++, no more young legs like Jordan Poole. But maybe they see something in Dwight that will not be perfect fit. Maybe Howard really lost some steps as he himself is also on the twilight of his career. Maybe, as they are checking if Dwight will be fit, but maybe they see that it won't fit to what they are looking or maybe also that there are things that affect the decision from the management. We don't know if it's all about the skills and capabilities or there are also part of the negotiations that both side didn't agree upon, just for my personal take, though. I try to look at their big men line up and this is the name that comes up, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Usman Garuba on a two-way. I'm not familiar with the two names, but maybe they are more impressive that Dwight. And we all know that the Warriors loves to developed new players like in the case of Kuminga or even Wiseman (but they have to trade him). So let's see if this is the right way for the Warriors, Looney, Draymond, and Saric. |

Bitcoin MAXI dont really like BRC-20 aand they really have a point in not like them because basically the are just inscription with no value at all and just add to the weight of the network and making BTC looks like a joke I know its open source and that people are free to do the things they like but if you look at this Its basically doing more harm than helping BTC in anyway So I will stay away from it It wont last very much
I think it's obvious though, just look at what happen to the mempool again. Recently there are spikes in the fees and it seems it was a blatant attack on the network and Bitcoin's blockchain. I wouldn't call it though Bitcoin Maxi, I mean even newbies and average joe bitcoin investors is going to see what is really behind this BRC-20. Just another hype and fad and soon it will go away. But it might create problems with new investors, as the possibility of losing money here is huge. |

This is only according to an analyst from Bloomberg. However, if this is confirmed real information then the question from the community should be will cousin Elon support his statement and begin accepting bitcoin payments in Tesla again?
Tesla also should start buying again hehehe.
I guess it's obvious that Elon Musk just used Bitcoin as his clout for his company during our the last bull run. Take advantage of it and then later sells their stash to take over Twitter, now X. And it's not rocket science though, we have our own thread here: by @fillippone, Debunking the "Bitcoin is an environmental disaster" argument. And I doubt that this whole sustainable energy mix for bitcoin will be the next narrative for the next bull. It might be the whole "Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals" in the future that we might see waves of institutional investor pouring their money in the market. Or even rich oil money from Middle East could also be possible. |

You’re all tripping about Dwight Howard. He was forced out of the league because of his sideline and locker on behavior, not because he stopped being an elite center. He’s getting older sure, but he’s still a top 10 center in the league.
Portland trying to force Damian Lillard to training camp. I’m sure he’ll cooperate, but it’s not a good look. Haven’t heard much about the Harden drama lately.
I dunno man, Dwight is not nearly the player he use to be and he center position is not the way it use to be either (but of course you obviously know this). I agree he could probably be playing in the league still, but I don’t think at a very high level and his shenanigans just aren’t worth it. If he was good enough they would put up with it. If I remember it correctly, after playing with Kobe (RIP), which didn't work well for the Lakers. And I think it was the beginning wherein other teams think that he has an attitude, and so he bounce back from teams to teams and lost that enigma around him as the best center. And we all know that he also got injured throughout his career. But I do agree that maybe he can still be that center that can intimidate anyone, but he should drop that attitude already specially if the Warriors absorb him as it's the best team that he could be getting after his years of not playing in the NBA. He should take his great opportunity. |

Not clicking on that link though, but in any case, everyone should be excited about the upcoming halving, specially those who have been holding bitcoin for so long because it's that time that you will see how your profits is going to be. Regarding the question of it the price is going to increase, I would say yes, based on it's historical past. Just look at the last halving, we went as low as $3k if I'm not mistaken, but ended up with a bull run of $69k. So most likely if we are going to look at a new all time high, it should be $70k++ as a good starting point. |

Let's not get ahead just yet. Dwight Howard is not yet signed with the Golden State Warriors just yet but he got the approval of most veterans of the team so it's a good sign.
IMO, I like to see him play one more time in the NBA. I want to see that bully ball that he played against Nikola Jokic and every big man in the league.
I don't really care if he scores or not, just that mere defensive strength will get my hopes high about him. He may be seasoned but he can still play and looking at his physical attributes, he still got it.
It will just depend on Coach Kerr if he will give him the minutes if ever the Warriors management will sign him even for a veteran contract.
If today’s workout with Green and CP3 goes well, I think he’ll be a Warrior. I’m excited about it not just from a defensive end, but for what he brings to the table on offense. I thought having a roll to the basket alley-oop threat has been missing since they got rid of JaVale McGee. Dwight would likely open up things for Curry and Klay to get more looks. The fact that they got rid of JaVale simply means they are looking for a better big man. JaVale can't keep up with the fast pace, so his minutes are limited. I don't know, but maybe Dwight could play some significant minutes, especially in the fourth quarter, where sometimes the Warriors have meltdowns. CP3 alley-oop to Howard, we will see more of that once the season starts and when the deal is finalized. I think Javale is very different to Howard, most of their big man in the past has been agile and Javale was not. However, Javale might offer other things, like being a shot blocker, but his speed is really the breaking point that's why they got rid of him. But I do agree that we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves here as Howard hasn't been officially sign by the Warriors yet. We should wait for the announcement before we can have discussions as what role he will be in the Warriors uniform although we everyone has his own opinions already. |

I hope that you are aware that the price of bitcoin is not predictable and is not something we can depend on, so bitcoin have its price and you can sleep and before you wake-up bitcoin price have accelerated, so therefore nobody can predict accurately when and how bitcoin price comes about, hoping that bitcoin can get accelerated in the month of September is not something I know full well, it can be tomorrow the price of bitcoin falls drastically beyond our expectations or predictions and such is applicable to rising aspect of bitcoin where by the situation of the price can rise tomorrow due to the market demand get accelerated or is of higher potential than the supply. So this two factors is strongly behind the elements that makes bitcoin to get increased and get decreased.
If there is a people in this forum that follow my previous prediction they made profit by now hahaha Like I said before its just an opinion and beside that this was speculation board nothing here is 100% accurate but if you look at the situation right now you might aware that bitcoin price goes to my direction at 27K  . The next resistance zone would still likely at 30K but economic and news might make bitcoin can go lower again if Blackrock Etf is approved on 2 September the price will be stonk again but I heard the news about the fed will increse the Interest rate again might move bitcoin price to plummet again Looking back, yeah we did reach $27k again, unfortunately, it was just short live again as there are speculators who might have sold around the figures to make profits. As for the Blackrock ETF, most likely it will be next year that we will either see a big news or not. Hopefully, we can get the approvals already so that it can also help a lot in the big bull run that everyone is expecting next year. To the point that the prediction is a conservative 6 digits in the beginning of the run. |

Hi all,
Relatively new to trading crypto for altcoins so was just wondering if anyone knew how did Ripple blow up so high in price?
It has a circulating supply of 53,175,400,720 (Coinmarketcap) , a max supply of 100,000,000,000, yet it still managed to astronomically increase it's price from $0.0029438 to $3.84?
I didn't know a coin could have so much supply yet increase to that price, so how did it all happen?
It's a bankers coin, so obviously in the beginning it has a lot of support from crypto enthusiast like in 2018 wherein it was really taking the crypto world by storm. They also work with a lot of remittance company so you know that there is a investment with them. But I guess with the current bear market, every coin is down, but recently they won they court case against SEC so it might likely case the sudden spike in the price in the last couple of months. |

That kind of feeling could be dangerous if you are gambling most of the time. I mean, we don't want to be completely attached to gambling, especially if we aren't making a living from it. I've felt that kind of thrill before, especially when betting a significant amount of money—something that, although I can afford, would significantly affect my budget. You know, when the income isn't that much, we don't allocate too much to gambling. But as gamblers that we are, sometimes we want to go big, just like the famous saying, 'go big or go home.
Yeah, it's the go home go big mentally, but I guess this is what gamblers wanted to reach though. For me, lately I'm being attached to roulette games and so I also do all in, I mean I just chose my favorite numbers and then put some huge bet on one of them. If it hits, then I withdraw right away and take my winnings, same with losing as well. I stop completely when I didn't get it. But that feeling when you hit that numbers of yours, it's very different. |

I would love to know you all's predictions for the next bull. I'm thinking anywhere around $100,000? May looking at how far the previous bull runs were able to reach, I think that would be a good price to place it 😊👍, but I'm still open to whatever wild opinions you all may have.  Well, just as you have said, considering the fact that the previous bull run started when the price of Bitcoin was around $7000 , and was able to reach the all time high or $69,000, so let's assume the coming bull run will start at $25,000 or let's be more conservative and say $20,000, then, it is very possible that the price of Bitcoin will reach $100,000 and even surpass it. This is also considering the fact that the coming bull run might be the biggest we've ever seen , and are going to see in the history and future of Bitcoin and the entire crypto currency space, if all the current developments that are on pending come to positive fruition, then it is very imminent or sure , that the next all time high of Bitcoin price will be well above a hundred thousand dollars . Bull run won't just come instantly and give us $69k or $100k but the price will gradually rise first. We can tell if it's possible depending on how high the price can go. Last All-Time-High was $69k and people thinks it's not very far from $100k, so they just assume it is possible. But before we achieve it, we will need to break $69k first and maybe stay on these prices for some time. Each bull run is always higher than the previous bull runs, but it doesn't stop there as long as the price is still appropriate to the supply of Bitcoin, and we also need to look the status of the adoption if there are still countries or people who are not yet into it. Yes, as far as experienced, the initial impact will not be felt, it might take weeks and months before we can see the price increasing a bit after the block halving that could signal the bull run. As far as achieving $69k, if we are indeed in the bull run already, then we should be just slicing that price. Just like in the last bull run, imaging at March 2020 the price is $3k because of the pandemic. But by March 2021, the price is already $50k++. |

In gambling the fun ends simultaneously with the depletion of the balance. If an individual continues gambling which he/she started for entertainment purposes with the ambition of making money and loses more money than his planned budget, unfortunately, that person is no longer having fun. On the contrary, has become an addicted individual. In other words, fun in gambling is only possible if a person can manage his/her own desires and emotions.
If he has some money to step aside for gambling, when he lost everything then it should be just for fun. But if he cant' control and deposit again and he thought that he will just enjoy, then he is going to be addicted. Unfortunately, gambling to make money more easily, doesn't help individuals become rich in a short time or make big profits but also causes these individuals to become addicted and lose more money in gambling. For this reason, it is necessary to answer questions by analyzing whether an individual gambles for fun or with the dream of getting rich as quickly as possible.
Right, and I've seen individuals winning huge amount of money and lost that money in the same night,  . I mean, they already have won big, but still they wanted to continue and so not only their huge winnings are lost, but their capital as well. |

Trying to keep Harden means that they are going to try to go for the title again this year. Could they do it? There is a possibility, the team is good enough to give it a try and normally I would say that their roster is strong enough to be able to do it.
However, the lack of defense by Harden is a big deal and I feel like it is going to end up costing them a lot of trouble, this is why I feel like it is going to take a while for them to get a ring, they need one more player that would be good at defense and can guard the little guys as well, basically cover the difference Harden creates. Warriors has done it, Curry is not known for his defense, but Klay defended the best players and that allowed Curry to be not abused on defense too much.
Sixers really look solid with Harden and of course Joel Embid the reigning MVP and it seems that they have a good chemistry. Even with the playoff series agains the Celtics, they have a good chance to win that. But I do agree that that Harden's is a liability as far as defense though, and the teams are going to abuse it specially with roll and pick up, to get him to play defense. So the rest will have to do and cover for him in the switch. |

Goad to see more mainstream companies willingly getting into crypto but I wouldn’t touch these type of ‘wallets’
It’s boring & everybody is sick of hearing it but it needs to be hammered home until every man & his dog is aware, not your keys not your coins.
Yes, it's obvious that you will not have total control of it, so maybe those who are not into crypto might try it a bit or maybe they will just used it for their Telegram activity with others. But for us, it's not a good idea specially putting huge amount of money on it. As you have said, not your keys not your coins. And then there is also the threat of hackers and cyber criminals that can scoop our wallet anytime. |

I do agree that education is the key to somewhat "argue" against bitcoin critics. And far as the environment goes, there is also one great thread by @fillippone Debunking the "Bitcoin is an environmental disaster" argument. It's every important because this is the recent attack on bitcoin, so we need to shatter this myth together with those other mentioned by the OP. |

oh, that's interesting
didn't know about the go AIs, heard about it but just really little in the past
what we are seeing in art with AI is really cool too, many breakthroughs happening
we're hitting acceleration point now.
Yes, I think we are starting to enter the phase where human minds and AI minds work together to create new things. This will be an inflection point in history, similar to how the Internet changed everything. Maybe in the future we will see AI and human interact together for the betterment of the world. But as far as sports predictions, as this point I highly doubt that they can predict the outcome as humans do as there are a lot of parameters to look. And if I remember correctly, there is one thread wherein AI tries to predict the outcome of a UFC matchup and it was a disaster if you follow that prediction. |

In fact, the worst thing is not the money stolen, that is fine, it's the fact that some people will leave with fear and that's even worse which would be the issue.
That means something. I agree with you on some points. When hacking occurs, the next issue is between users vs exchanges and this is where the danger comes in. Of course, user funds remain "safe", it's just that they are owed/frozen until the exchange is able to pay. High hacking rates sometimes make the exchange fail to fulfill its obligations to customer money on time. The danger comes with it if there's no assurance that exchange could able to pay their user since if they remain those funds locked for long time meaning they don't have enough funds and maybe slowly disperse just like the same scam exchange done. Top Tier exchange like Binance though said that they are SAFu, but not sure about other exchanges as well. So that's where all the danger is, if exchanges getting hack like in this case, how can they pay their customers? Legit exchange return their operation immediately once they settle all things and make sure their platform is safe but if issue to their user still happening then I guess this hacking is used for another exit strategy by scam platform owners.
We've seen in the past the some shady exchanges really pull this exit scams. And recently there is this case, https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/09/08/11196-years-in-prison-for-faruk-ozer-ceo-of-collapsed-turkish-crypto-exchange-thodex/Faruk Fatih Özer, the founder of the collapsed Turkish crypto exchange Thodex, his sister Serap Özer and his brother Güven Özer have been sentenced to 11,196 years, 10 months and 15 days in prison, according to local media. A judicial fine of 135 million liras ($5 million approx.) was also imposed. |

For me, Education and regulations are the keys to seeing the mass adoption of bitcoins all around the world and the government should wake up right now since they don't have anything with the banks.
On the contrary, government have everything in the banks, it is one of the institution that govern a country. So I don't think that government should wake up right now and that is the main reason why some of them are anti-crypto for that matter, they want to support their banking system. Because bitcoins are a huge opportunity that hasn't been discovered before and this time they need to take advantage of it positively. People should not rely on negative information shown by the media and should do their own research so that they won't just easily believe those hostile groups whenever they slander bitcoins.
Just remember as well that it's not just like a magic bean that will make people rich. You still have to invest, educate our selves in order to take advantage of it. As far as negative information, it's part of the market already so yes, I do agree that we should not take every news, 90% of them are not even verify but the authors themselves, they will just released this news, whether positive or negative and that's it. |

If you really want to reach some great stages in this life, someone needs to plan themselves well, set goals, and work toward them in order to achieve them. A person who has goals and plans will actually succeed. I am happy for you to have achieved your goals. It is not really easy to set goals and achieve them because, in the process, someone will face challenges, especially in the cryptocurrency industry. It will be better to set another goal once the first one has been achieved; it can be in bitcoin again or in any other way, because it is through goals we are achieving that can keep us moving towards many things we are dreaming of. I believe everyone has different things they are dreaming of achieving in this life, and with those goals, we can gradually achieve them.
Definitely, what your mind can conceived, then for sure you can achieved it as well. That's why setting a goal is very important, just like in crypto. Let's say you want to save or accumulate and DCA so that you can be ready in the next bull run and have huge profits then go for it. It might be a big challenge though, because day in day out, you need to grind like every week. But sooner or later if you stick with your goals and no matter what, it will be a delayed gratification on your end and you will be happy that you stay with your strategy despite the hardships. |
