It is commonly said that one thing that is constant in life is change, alot of things around us change every second, minutes and hour of every day, and the is one of the reasons why it's never a good idea to say "Never".
Aside countries, there are several individuals who were once against bitcoin, but today, their stance have changed and they have become one of the biggest fans and investors in bitcoin, a very good and worthy of note example is the current president of the United States of America in the person of Donald J. Trump, he once hated bitcoin and called it shit, but today, he is one of the biggest supporters of bitcoin and the crypto ecosystem.
My country was also once against bitcoin and the government banned all crypto currency related transactions, directing banks to freeze any account that is found to be transacting in crypto, but today, that have changed, bitcoin and crypto generally have become an acceptable means of transacting in my country, even though the government haven't officially made it legal, it's no longer a crime to be found transacting in bitcoin and crypto generally.
Same as Russia who changed its mind about Bitcoin (for government use, of course). I believe western sanctions prompted Russia to embrace the revolution at its fullest. Even China decided to open its arms to crypto by drafting friendly regulations in Hong Kong. As far as persons/celebrities go, many have also changed their mind against Bitcoin. Not only Donald Trump, but also Mark Cuban, Larry Fink, and Michael Saylor. These people were once "no-coiners", only to turn into avid bitcoiners in the long run. If the world's #1 cryptocurrency continues to rise in popularity, more countries and influential persons will join it. My guess is that the whole world will go as far as adopting Bitcoin as "Digital Gold". Nothing is set in stone, so anything can happen in the future.

BTC is currently heading back to ATH and major alts are also pumping with it, sol, bnb, eth etc, the major one that caught my attention is bnb which hit a new ATH this morning of 1k. My question now is if BTC maintain this momentum, can we have bnb at 1.5k by the end of the year or? I am sure other tokens like solana and ethereum will also reach new highs
BNB is on a frenzy these days. Probably has to do with whales speculating on CZ's potential presidential pardon from US President Donald Trump. Compared to its rivals, Solana is faring much better in terms of innovation and adoption. Just look at BNB's market performance within the past month, and you'll see what I'm talking about. It has remained bullish for quite a while. But "what goes around, comes around". I think that eventually, there will be a market correction. Can BNB reach $1.5k? Maybe. If BNB keeps "pumping", it might reach said target. All the eyes are on Bitcoin and ETH right now. If there aren't any major movements from these giants, I wouldn't expect BNB to go anywhere. I'd wait a little longer and see what happens.

When bitcoin hit $1M level, I guess that Michael Saylor will enter into top 10 richest people on the earth. It may happen within next 4 years or who knows, may happen within 2026 as well.
The final note, we need to take away from this success story must be, foreseeing the potential of bitcoin by understanding the fundamentals of bitcoin. I am not sure why some early adaptors are selling right now but definitely that is not meaning to 'bitcoin has reached its final price level'. I mean when we are confident about reaching one million dollar level, why governments and financial institutions are still waiting to buy more bitcoins.
That will only happen if the BTC held by Strategy, Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) belongs to Saylor himself. But if it belongs to investors, I don't think we should position Saylor among the top 10 richest people on Earth. At least we know, Bitcoin will continue to rise in price for the foreseeable future. Assuming inflation remains persistent (Fiat), and Bitcoin's supply remains capped at 21m. Each halving (every 4 years) should make BTC scarcer than before. Now imagine if institutional and retail investors buy more BTC than what's being mined. It will cause a supply shock, effectively "pumping" market prices all the way to the "Moon" (or "Mars" for that matter). You'll never lose holding Bitcoin long-term. I wouldn't call Bitcoin "superior to cash", though. Not as long as volatility and scaling issues persist. For that, we have stablecoins and zillions of "shitcoins". It's good that Michael Saylor is supporting Bitcoin. For being a no-coiner, this is fantastic. Even Larry Fink and Donald Trump joined the game (also no-coiners). At this pace, it's possible others will change their minds about BTC. Only time will tell.

I have doubts thought on education nowadays. On one hand its important to have one, to develop thinking, to have more knowledge and experience. On the other hand part of it can be obtained without graduating from university. It is said or believed that university diploma «open doors», it gives chances to start a career. But, it only open a door, which can be closed quick if a former student cant prove himself and show that he is worth hiring.
I think you're talking about experience. And yes, there are many graduates who really don't know what they're doing in their workplace. It's not about having a degree, but proving yourself worthy of being in your chosen career. That's why many employers these days ask for more than just a college degree. You need experience, you need strong connections, and in some cases, you need to pursue certifications (like in the IT industry) to be able to qualify for a job. Can you become successful without a college degree? Yes, it's possible. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Becoming an entrepreneur or your own boss takes a lot of time, effort, and consistency. You also need some initial investment to get up and running. If you don't have the resources, you'll simply fail. Hopefully, increasing employment requirements will force people to seek higher education.

The dollar isn't as strong as it once which is exactly what Trump wanted and he probably signed this for his own ulterior motive and not because he wants to try and save the dollar or something.
The USD has been dropping in value since January this year and I truly wonder what exactly happened during that month to trigger such a decline....
Trump's plan from the very beginning was to bring back manufacturing to the US. In order to make exports cheaper, it's in Trump's best interests to weaken the Dollar. This will also make the debt cheaper in the long run. Unfortunately, a weaker USD comes at a cost of expensive imports for all Americans. The GENIUS act will only solidify the USD's presence in the stablecoins market. But it won't save the Dollar. Especially if countries start ditching it in favor of other currencies. The "de-dollarization" movement is getting stronger each day. With BRICS composing around 40% of the world's population, the USD's days are numbered. This rival bloc can simply come up with a currency of its own, possibly taking the USD's place as the world's reserve currency. For what I know, anything's possible in the future. We'll see what happens...

I don’t think Bitcoin will fully replace the dollar but it could become more important over time. The dollar is tied to governments, trade & stability while Bitcoin is more about freedom & tech. Bitcoin might grow as a global alternative or backup but the dollar’s role in everyday finance & international deals is hard to beat. They might end up coexisting with Bitcoin being strong in some areas but not fully overshadowing the dollar in our lifetime.
The US Dollar's role in global trade is "unbeatable" like you've said. At least for now. But all good things must come to an end. And Trump's actions are accelerating the USD's decline. Perhaps, it will take 2-3 more decades before the whole world moves away from the Dollar as the world's reserve currency. Bitcoin will continue to rise regardless of what happens with the USD in the long run. In fact, declining Fiat currencies should be "music to the ears" of many bitcoiners. It translates into greater purchasing power for "hodlers". Like I've stated before, only another Fiat currency will overshadow the relevance of the dollar in the future. Not Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. It's like comparing apples vs oranges. Two completely different things. Expect further opposition of Bitcoin's use as a currency due to its decentralized design. Just my two sats

It seems DOT prefers Bitcoin's footprint in its new economic model (regarding supply). Quick Take:
- Polkadot DAO has passed a proposal to cap the supply of DOT tokens at 2.1 billion.
- The measure replaces the current unlimited issuance model, which minted 120 million DOT annually without a supply cap.
Reducing future inflationary pressure? This is clearly the goal. But I want to look further into the technical side, especially regarding validator earnings. If the ecosystem wants to remain attractive, they must consider the proportion of staking incentives accordingly. Furthermore, I believe this new economic model will also influence the ecosystem's growth flexibility if they hope to reach or surpass the previous golden age of network adoption. Any thoughts? Developers can reduce DOT's supply all they want, but without demand, don't expect prices to go anywhere soon. For what I know, competitors are faring better in terms of marketing, mainstream adoption, and innovation. Solana and Ethereum are way ahead of Polkadot in this regard. DOT has great tech and all, but without adoption/demand, it will fade away into oblivion. Developers aren't even porting/building dApps on it. Polkadot's situation is the same as TRON's. Do your own research to see for yourself. So to answer the OP's question: No, Polkadot will never become the next ETH or Bitcoin. It's simply impossible at this point. I'd just "stick" with Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin, and forget about the rest.

It doesn't matter whether the governments of these countries like Bitcoin or not, even the people of these countries still deal with Bitcoin smoothly. Perhaps one day they will change their position towards Bitcoin because it is the technology our time.. With proper regulation and legalization, its adoption can be a real gain for any country. With the presence of major countries adopting Bitcoin,, it’s only a matter of time before other countries reconsider their position.. We must highlight countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Portugal, Malta, Singapore, and the Hong Kong, as they are the best for Bitcoin and crypto investors to live and invest, as they provide clear regulations and offer tax exemptions or reductions. These countries do not necessarily mean that they like Bitcoin, but rather that they benefit from it economically. You can read the full article at this [ source]. What do you mean by "even the people of these countries still deal with Bitcoin smoothly"? If BTC is outlawed in your country, I wouldn't say that. Of course, it's possible to buy/sell BTC through other means (decentralized exchanges, P2P trading platforms, in-person or face-to-face, etc.). But that comes at the huge risk of getting caught. If you're caught, you can be exposed to fines or even jail time. Such is the case of people living in authoritarian regimes (eg: China, Russia). Luckily for us, many countries who once opposed Bitcoin are now opening their arms to it. I'm certain countries like China, Russia, and Venezuela will change their minds about Bitcoin. It's impossible to ignore the huge taxation benefits that comes with embracing the revolution. The "party" is just getting started. We'll see what happens in the long run.

Lately, I’ve noticed a trend where governments in different countries seem to go against their own people, passing laws that damage society, promoting negative attitudes on television, and blocking small businesses. And in this light, I don’t really like the fact that governments have set their sights on bitcoin, there’s a concern they might end up using it against the people. I really hope I’m wrong.
That's precisely the reason why many early bitcoiners are against government involvement in the space. They will ruin everything by forcing KYC/AML through our noses. The path towards "institutionalization" of Bitcoin is the first step towards utter-centralization. Of course, the core Blockchain remains decentralized. It will stay way as long as the majority of nodes and miners are geographically-distributed. Once governments and institutions start running their own nodes and mining BTC massively, it will be "game over" for good. Assuming they manage to obtain at least 51% of the network's hashrate (for a successful double-spend attack). I hope I'm wrong, and things turn out for the better in the long run. Many things can happen in the future. So better be prepared for the worse, just in case.

USDT will still remain Tether’s main product globally. It’s not banned in the US, but with the evolving regulations they want to make sure they provide maximum safety when it comes to compliance. That’s why USAT was created. So in the end, both USDT and USAT will stay under Tether.
I fail to see how Tether is going to be able to compete against USD Coin. It may be the biggest stablecoin by market cap, but it lacks behind in terms of regulatory compliance. Will USAT help "straighten" Tether out? Maybe. If it decides to take things seriously, investors will have no reason to doubt the stablecoin's ability to make them whole in the long run. The GENIUS act signed into law in the US, marks an epic milestone for stablecoin regulation. What Tether needs is a EUR variant of its stablecoin in the EU market. USDC is already one step ahead by receiving the "MICA" license for regulatory compliance in Europe. The competition is getting fierce, but there can ultimately be one winner. Let's hope Tether doesn't collapse in the future.

Like we knows before, I could remembered then when ethereum gas was far way cheaper but as the price keeps increasing it's automatically affected transactions fee where it wasn't usually low at its making people to panic over the gas, this led to sourcing alternative which is BNB many projects where migrating to BNB Chain because of its lower fee in terms of transactions. Now BNB is becoming that large in price and I would want to know if this would also affect the gas price of BNB where people could start complaining about gas fee or they would also work on the gas fee? Yes of recently the BNB price has been showing strong support making BNB to hit 920$ which very very close to hit $1k per BNB.
Obviously, gas fees in Fiat terms will rise the higher BNB goes in market cap. And if network activity increases (congestion), it's going to be even worse. Developers can simply come up with a proposal to decrease gas fees as a short-term solution. To keep gas fees low, network upgrades aiming to address scalability must be approved by the community. It's all about increasing on-chain transaction capacity. I'd say $1k BNB is closer than we've thought. It could materialize before the end of the year. I'd keep staking BNB for even greater returns on my investment. Who knows how far will BNB go?

Anytime they mentioned decentralized, some people don't understand what it's about until experience is done on one person. Couple of days ago, there was this token called World liberty financial price token(WLFI), it's a token backed by Trump family and it looks like some big players had a good buy before it went live on exchanges. Yesterday, Justin Sun cried on one of his tweet about how his token were frozen by the team worth $500m, it has been an alleged that he is known for price manipulation and dumping coins. I don't know if this has ever happen in the history of tokens sales that were unlocked only to be locked, there wasn't any form of agreements, this are unlock tokens. This is an example to people that invest in anything, too centralized cost a lot and this is just one of the problems of centralization. "Decentralization" is merely a buzz word these days used by project founders and developers to help attract the masses. Basically, no crypto project is as decentralized and censorship-resistant as it claims to be. Only a small few are. WLFI is no exception. And investors are starting to notice. Eventually, everyone will move to BTC, ditching altcoins in the process. All in an effort to obtain true freedom and self-sovereignty. What WLFI did, is the same thing any bank or centralized financial institution would do. If your transactions are flagged as "suspicious" or "high-risk", your account will be simply frozen or funds seized altogether. Now Justin Sun has to "buy" his way towards getting his coins unlocked. Otherwise, he'd risk losing everything in an instant. At least, WLFI doesn't have its own blockchain network (AFAIK). Would you imagine if it did? It could've been worse. That's why nothing can "beat" Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and censorship-resistance. And I hope it stays that way forever.

this is an interesting article written a few days ago by Coindesk, about how the proposition of stablecoins isn't actually going to do much long term to help the dollar, especially as T-bond values are sinking to all-time lows.
... To cut through the noise:
Remember when governments were talking about banning stablecoins along with bitcoin and the rest of crypto? Well when all of those clamors stopped, crypto companies and in particular stablecoin issuers were never quite sure whether they were operating in the framework of the law. GENIUS addressed this problem quite well, and while stablecoins like USDC and USDT were a good solution for crypto users who interacted with websites using such coins, it's still quite a burden for people who conduct international remittances.
You know, as in people sending money from one country to another.
Currently that's done offline in a very expensive banking system that eats FX fees, but if more countries get their act together and start launching their own stablecoins, then a framework can exist to allow people to make sure more money reaches their family & friends. FX will be much cheaper.
And it can all be based on the structure that the GENIUS bill made.
This bill was never about stopping the dollar from devaluing or inflating by the way, that was never going to happen. People just want first-mover advantage in the stablecoin market so that they can get the slice of revenue that local and international banks currently take.
Perhaps, you're right. Stablecoins or a US-backed CBDC will have little or no effect over the USD's prominence as the world's reserve currency. Trump's trade policies are already affecting the Dollar. It's very unlikely things will change if the USD becomes "digitized". Still, USD-backed stablecoins are the largest ones in market cap. Their EUR counterparts don't come even close. Maybe that will give the US an advantage? What the government needs to do is back the USD's value with Bitcoin. Or at least, focus on paying the national debt. The latter seems very unlikely now that Congress approved Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" spending plan. The debt is projected to increase $3.4T in the national debt within the next 10 years. So the US' days of collapse are certain. Empires rise and fall. The US is no exception. Perhaps, BRICS will take over the world? Only time will tell.

But here is the question, do you think Bitcoin can overshadow the relevance of dollar in the future?
I don't think so. I mean, the US government certainly won't allow it. What can happen is that another Fiat currency will overshadow the relevance of the US Dollar in the future. That's inevitable. Especially now with Trump's "unstable" trade policies. The high tariffs, possible FED manipulation, etc. will sow distrust in the world's reserve currency. It's already happening as we speak. Trump wants a "weaker" dollar to help make exports cheaper (thus encouraging manufacturing/production within the United States). I'm afraid his dream will come true as investors will stop buying US Treasury Bonds and "flock" elsewhere. Perhaps, the EUR is poised to become the world's next reserve currency? Or maybe the Chinese Yuan or a new currency created by BRICS? Bitcoin will remain an alternative (not a replacement) monetary system forever. I'm fine with that as long as decentralization and censorship-resistance is preserved.

Degree certificate is good to get anywhere, but in some advanced countries, you will use it to get job once you are done from school so that you can impact the knowledge you have to the community ; but in some countries, it is not working that way especially in some countries where bribery and corruption is everywhere.
I feel like technology has grow to the extent where we see village degree as a liability because you can literally learn and get solution to anything you want in almost all fields online using google ir even the use of AI which has made work easier, and we have started seeing they AI is now taking the job of more than three human; therefore, if it is really not necessary to get a degree since tech is very where.
Well, now employers are getting stricter by requiring some level of experience alongside a college degree. In my case (IT/Computer Science field), you also need to be certified (COMPTIA, Security+, etc) to be able to qualify for a job. The reason why employers are more demanding nowadays is because of the AI craze. They're prioritizing quality over quantity (hence the massive layoffs from the tech industry). AI has made our lives easier, but it also changed things to a whole new level. The jobs market is now more challenging than ever, and we must pursue higher education if we want to stay afloat. I've read somewhere that you also need experience to get an entry-level job. If it's someone with zero experience, getting a job would be impossible. Such is the case in developed countries. I wonder how developing (third-world) countries are doing in this regard?

BNB is showing strength with a -0.27 correlation to Bitcoin over the past 30 days. While BTC slipped -6.1%, BNB climbed +9.8%, signaling clear outperformance. On top of that, BNB’s deflationary auto-burn continues to cut supply each quarter, supporting price growth. Near-term targets point to $1,000, with a potential push toward $1,500 if Q4 momentum mirrors past cycles.
MYX has been on massive pump lately. The price has shot up from under $2 just a few weeks ago to around $16–18 now. That price surge pushed its market cap past $1.7 billion, putting it among the biggest names in DeFi. The pump isn’t just numbers either, major exchanges holding rewarding events like the BingX listing carnival with $60,000 rewards as well as trading activity on decentralized exchanges adding up to the surge, showing that retail traders are piling in.
Where do you see BNB and MYX heading next $1000 and $25?
Yes. BNB is about to hit $1k real soon. That's odd, considering that other chains are much more popular than Binance Smart Chain. It might be nothing more than a result of market manipulation. Imagine if CZ achieves his dream of getting a presidential pardon from US President Donald Trump. BNB would probably go even higher in market price. Not sure about MYX, though. The token is new and widely unproven. BNB is much older, and trusted by the community. It seems to me that it will make a better long-term investment than MYX. But that's just my opinion. Just do your own research to determine what works best for you. The crypto market often behaves in many strange and bizarre ways. So anything can happen in the long run.

Tokenized assets have reached approximately $300B with stablecoins been the majority at $267B in circulation while tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) like have grown to $26B mostly adopted by institutions.
That industry is growing with but obviously stablecoins is the backbone because they move constantly for trading, payments and more but most RWAs are still and not often used in DeFi.
Even though RWAs do offer yield, they are not as fluid as Stablecoins. This I think might result in slow adoption and I don't see them meeting up stablecoins. RWAs might win in rank up in value but will they ever move like stablecoins do ? What’s your opinion ?
As far as I know, stablecoins are a form of "Real World Asset" representing the value of Fiat on the Blockchain (whenever it's USD, EUR, RUB, etc). I don't see what's the difference here. But if the OP is comparing RWAs such as precious metals, real estate, and stocks against stablecoins, then that's another subject. These could very well surpass stablecoins' market cap in the future. The "fun" hasn't even started yet. Once giants like NASDAQ, BlackRock, S&P 500, etc start "tokenizing" assets on the Blockchain, things will change for the better. Now the real question lies in which Blockchain will be the one used mostly for RWAs? Will it be Ethereum, Solana, or the XRP Ledger? Or maybe they'll live across multiple chains? That's the "multi-million" dollar question. If I have to guess, companies will launch RWAs on the Ethereum blockchain. BlackRock did express its interest in doing this some time ago. I'd pay close attention to the recent developments in the industry to see what happens.

So Tether is at it again, they just announced a new stablecoin called USAT that’s going to be U.S.-based and launched before the year ends. This time they’re doing it through Anchorage Digital Bank, and it’s supposed to follow the new GENIUS Act rules, meaning reserves have to be liquid, plus they’ll show monthly disclosures of what’s backing it. They even tapped a former White House guy (Bo Hines) to lead it. Looks like Tether wants to play “legit” this time in the U.S., since they’ve been bashed for years about transparency. But honestly, will people even buy that story? Could just be them trying to hold their ground now that USDC is tight with regulators. If it clicks, they’ll get even deeper into Treasuries, but if U.S. regulators start poking around too much, it might blow up on them. You think this changes anything, or are we still stuck with the same old USDT vs USDC story?
[1] https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/tether-unveils-usat-stablecoin-boost-us-market-presence-2025-09-12/[2] https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text[3] https://cryptoslate.com/people/bo-hines/USAT? Does this mean Tether will "ditch" USDT in favor of a new stablecoin that's more "regulatory compliant"? Why re-invent the wheel? Can't Tether just use its existing stablecoin and modify it to help "please" the regulators? Unless, I'm getting this wrong. I'd say USDC is far ahead than USDT in terms of regulatory compliance. The only thing is its market cap is not as big as USDT's. But that doesn't matter. As long as the stablecoin has strong adoption, it won't be going anywhere. With the "GENIUS" act officially signed into law in the US, I'm certain the stablecoins industry will grow bigger and stronger than ever. Let us hope Tether doesn't collapse in the long run, or it will be another disaster for the entire crypto market. We'll see what happens in the future.
