It's shilling by the way, OP and this has been happening in Youtube for quite some time already. It's not just crypto but also to many reviews of a crap product that they're obviously paid for promoting it.
Youtube does not do anything about this sadly and with the disappearance of dislike button ( though I heard some chrome extensions for workarounds), we're blinded if the video is informative or pure BS.

Regardless of the situation or whatever is happening out there, there is no "good" time to buy exactly. It's just everyone's timeline that applies. Are you willing to lose that amount of money that you're trying to buy or would you prefer to wait it to get a little bit lower?
For the Russian-Ukraine scenario, I don't think that such event would have direct impact to Bitcoin. It's neither going to soar nor plummet.

Well El Salvador news was one hell of an adoption of crypto especially Bitcoin. There are some authorities that are still neutral to it and pretty much they're not "fully" against it, but are looking for ways to regulate it therefore putting a tax into it as well which sucks for some.
This pandemic somehow made some think about crypto but it was the exact time when NFTs were now a thing.

People are just running out of ideas right now and they're basically doing the same thing all over again. It doesn't happen just in crypto to be honest. I would be a little bit off topic in this example but look around your area if the local fast foods or even coffee shop are uniquely different from each other.
In my experience, they're still all the same with just a different logo and name. Same goes with the project these days, and worse is that some are even copy-pasting WPs of other projects.

I wish I could say the same as yours that small businesses are accepting Bitcoin payments though.
Oh well, it's a slow recognition here in my area anyways.
From what I heard, it's mostly in the metropolitan areas and that kind of sucks in my part. lol

Speaking of emotional attachment, I recall from what I had watched from some documentaries in Youtube about those scammers trying to manipulate elders. From my experience talking to some elders back when I was working in a call center, most of them were really kind hearted to the conversation. Now that I heard that there were some call centers operating a scam, it's sad that they're taking advantage of these elderlies.
On the brighter side, there are scam baiters that are trying to destroy these scammers though.

A bit of an epilepsy warning before even bother clicking that site. There's quite a slight flashing in the first part of the webpage. The rest is just kind of...okay.

If you would ask me if I would invest this project, it's a no. From the rugpulls happening in some NFT games these days, I wouldn't touch any game-related project in crypto these days.

Ah yes, I would even remention this if I could.
Facebook, in my experience, is the most infested with scammers even if I was not joining crypto groups there. It's those people with fake accounts vouching for random figure that is purely just a stock images with a little touch of photoshop so that it wouldn't be searchable in search engines that easily.

---

A lot of those are coming from the comments in crypto pages. It's either BTC or ETH holders that they are targeting.

Lol those "women" claiming to be a crypto broker in Facebook with a Married civil status are obviously just a scam and in fact those who vouches for those are just managed by one person obviously. I can't provide a screenshot since I did a mass report in Facebook and seemingly they are now slowly purging those fake accounts.
Who would even risk 50k to a random person in the internet anyway?

Unless I met someone and got know of them for almost a year, I wouldn't trust a single penny to them.

There was one attempt on me just recently where they were like wanting to "work with me" but then started talking about money in the end. They might had thought that I was into them already and I wouldn't mind handing them over my money but meh. I don't trust a lot of people in the internet.
One of the usual tactics of these scammers also is targeting the elderlies and having to throw random techy words into them making them somehow convinced that the crap was real.

I can just imagine many newbies thinking that such trading would make one rich overnight or even over a week. I personally had quit day trading even though I learned some parts of it like the Bollinger Band and RSI combination.
Other than those, there's not much. It's not worth my time and sanity to stare at the charts.

Man, I can still recall a lot of people discussing in Economics board if Bitcoin could even eliminate unemployment back in 2017. Bitcoin can still at least help people get paid through freelancing (as what you mentioned), but Bitcoin alone, it's a meh.
I am not sure if people are even willing to pay crypto just starting on that Pizza Bitcoin story long time ago.

This. Coming from my experience when I tried to do day trading back then, it didn't work for me in the first time but somehow worked "a little bit" in my second one but I was not satisfied with my results from that hardwork. It turned out that day trading isn't really meant for me due to schedule conflicts so I quit that trading strategy and just went on for long-term holding.
It was a better adjustment for me and my mental health starting from that. Sometimes things just don't work out in our way and that's really okay.

No shit, OP.
Sorry but that's a really common knowledge now these days, OP. There's just those too good to be true thing in every single part of crypto especially when it involves investing your own money and sanity.
+200% overnight? Who would thought?

This is pretty much it in the end.
There are also shit-businesses outside crypto and by the next week you look into their place, it's already closed down or placed as "For Lease" at the best. It's those buyers that keeps feeding this shit devs and makes them come back to even shit more in crypto space.

Still some other people are into shitcoins regardless claiming that they're earning "short-term profit".

This was the kind of discussion back in 2017 as well. It depends now these days actually. For the amount of shitcoins popping up lately, it kinda makes it 50/50 now and the earning amount is even one of the factors in these.
I would just say that most aren't worth it these days.

First, wrong move there mate. Why did you sell when you were still losing? You should have at least still hold a little bit.
For the reasoning, if you're specifically aiming for bitcoin, it's just Bitcoin being Bitcoin. I heard that it has any relations with the Ukraine war that's why it is getting a dip lately.
For altcoins, it's just that some altcoins tend to follow Bitcoin's price correction.

Well since bounties are like doing social media campaigns, no doubt that it will get wider reach although it still depends as a lot of people in Facebook just don't give a crap about crypto at all in fact that many social media sites are being dwelled by many scammers especially when you check FB groups.
It's not that too effective in a long run since the project itself has that declining stage after maturity.

For sure building any forms of web application and creating tokens would be from a dev's standpoint. Kind of weird to have some that kind of thought instead of finding clients in crypto looking for someone to at least build a website for them.
I wouldn't mind if crypto was low, hell Bitcoin was around 32k like last year and if I even recall correctly I bought few of it since it was so long since my last buy.

Just remember that anything you use in the internet that was made by someone wouldn't make you fully secured even if such 2fa security exists. I wouldn't trust any centralized services in the internet with my files or even my critical documents.
I upload some "not that important" of a files to Google Drive, but other information that I really am careful about such as my private keys are all personally written in a document. I am even thinking about storing it in a small safe box, if I have the time.
