Pure speculation, there is already a lot of comparisons happening between other layer 2 networks that did airdrop before like Optimism.

Check this photo:
This is mirroring the market cap of other chain networks, this is just speculation or prediction. The majority of people really predict the price could be around starting at $1 - $5. So, let's wait for it.
I also love the airdrop distribution because there are only a few people who got big sizes.

Hello guys, look at the beautiful chart of airdrop distribution from Nansen, since Nansen helped Arbitrum about distributing the airdropped tokens of Arbitrum from the given snapshot date which is February 6, 2023.

As Nansen said: "The median airdrop size is 1,250 ARB. Over 4,400 addresses are able to claim 10,250 ARB"

The higher addresses are the 1000 - 2000 airdrop size will get.

This comparison for me is really making sense. When we will base here, it seems we will see the Arbitrum token will start at $1.+ but for me, with hype plus recent pumps on the market, I am really expecting higher than that. My target could be around $3-$5 and higher is maybe up to two digits of $10 (this is very huge already).
5 days and left and we will see it.

For me, it is really not reliable whether you are based it on holidays or not because sometimes the market is boring or volatile when there are some events, just like the US CPI release, which is very volatile sometimes, and another thing is when some news release that related with cryptocurrencies. The holiday is really not the one that matters here because that holiday is given and expected to come.

The new trend now is the Arbitrum airdrop, for those people who are not yet aware: Arbitrum to Airdrop New Token and Transition to DAO.

Moving on, what do you think about the starting price of the Arbitrum token when the claiming of airdropped tokens will start around 5 days from now?

I already lot of speculations that are comparing it with other layer 2 tokens that did airdrop also before like Optimism.
Some people tell it will be $1-$2, and some are starting will be $2.5 and some also telling 2 digits numbers that start at $10.

Some exchanges now already have "IOU" Arbitrum tokens whose current price now is already around $10.

(Take note that this is not yet the real Arbitrum token, this is just an IOU token across the exchanges right now.)

I am not against these new many crypto trading strategies. What only always comes to my mind every time I see new strategies/indicators is they are still based on the major basic strategies or indicators, they are still using some part of these foundation or core strategies. That's why I really advice for every new traders who are just starting always learn the basics, the core because in the long run, you will use it always.

After what happened to FTX Exchange, that's the time I left the Solana network and moved to other networks, it's just sad because Solana is the best especially if you are into DeFi and the small person who does small transactions because the fees are extremely cheap compared to these new layer 2 networks that are EVM based.
Now the TVL of the Solana network is being overtaken by these layer 2 networks. I believe Solana for sure will fix these issues, especially the outages and I believe in the future Solana will be back just like before.

For me, it really does not matter at all. Because the Bitcoin network itself is not controlled by anyone. I believe these whales are mostly traders who try to make money from their huge bags. So overall, I can consider these whales as normal traders who just want to make some money.
About manipulation, yes for me it's possible but if you are a trader, it really matters to you.

I'm curious how the OP stored the Bitcoin they bought for the baby, they created a paper wallet? Bought a hardware wallet or any software Bitcoin wallet? It would be more amazing for OP to share how they manage to store the Bitcoin so just in case in the future, other will follow it too.
Just like me, I am planning to do it in the future for my children. Since I saw a lot of people having life insurance to their children while at very young age, so for me, I will do like what OP did.

Why are people just things complicated? Let's say for example Bitcoin is just the same as fiat currencies where you can use it to pay for something. You can use it just like how you use your fiat to pay for something like goods, services, etc. So for me yes among the list is also included like mortgage, medical bills, etc.
For me, I can consider Bitcoin as banks also, you can have your own bank as long as you have Bitcoin which comes with Bitcoin wallet ofcourse.

This is the best example of how our fiat right now, $1 is no $1 ($1 != $1).
I can say it's because of inflation and that's one of the many that Bitcoin solves or fixes.
I believe that Bitcoin will not experience this as supply of Bitcoin will be limited only over the time not the same with fiat which they can print unlimited amount.

Lack of context from OP, we don't know if the meaning of "property" OP wants to say is the physical establishment or real state something or on another side is it's real Bitcoin and the "property" there is the physical backups of the keys of the wallet or maybe it is a hardware wallet, we don't know.
Or maybe we can also relate here to some real state properties are for sale using Bitcoin as a payment method, maybe that's an example.

This is very difficult to answer, at the first place when you bought your Bitcoin, do you have any price target or goals like "If Bitcoin reaches x price, I will sell"?
Because if you just want to sell it because it's already high, it seems you don't have plan at all but I am not against on it, if you want to take profits right now and that's your goal, go for it.

Good ol' days! I remember those times when faucets are the trend before. Before, when you are just patient and not lazy, you can get a lot of money doing a lot of tasks or surveys, offerwalls, etc. that is paying Bitcoin, all good. I know a lot of people who started without pulling out money from their pocket, they just offer their time or just did some work to do.
Which I really appreciate people like this, like OP! Good job!

Breaking Bitcoin above $23,000 earlier was already a sign for me that we will see $25,000.
But something better happened, it broke the $26,000 level. So for me, the next stop or resistance that will be tested is $30,000. For sure before this month will end, we will attempt to test the $30,000 level.

Correction: Demo not Demo.
I agree with this, those people who want to practice without using real money, they can use some demo platforms of exchanges or what common term is testnet.
There are some popular exchanges who got testnet platforms where you can trade using not real money.
For example, are
Bybit: https://testnet.bybit.com/en-US/
Bitmex: https://testnet.bitmex.com/

Good job OP. My piece of advice is if you really not trading, avoid watching charts or prices everytime . This will help you to not panic, just do something else just like learning more about what Bitcoin is or exploring more about Bitcoin or finding any other leisures that will make your attention on Bitcoin price will be keep away temporarily because I believe you will become emotional due to high volatility of Bitcoin price.

How? Doing some bounties or any tasks/jobs or airdrops that will give you Bitcoin? I think yes this is possible before but now, it seems more difficult because you start to give your most of time before you get seeds for free. You need to work hard for that. And always don't rely on free seeds in this world, everything now already have a cost or you need to work for it before you can get it.

In the beginning yes, especially before when I started to discover Bitcoin around 2017, I was really thinking always that I should've known Bitcoin for a long time already.
But as time goes by, I became used to by and realized that it's like a cycle; there will be new people who also will same in my situation or even people who discover Bitcoin before me who experienced the same situation as mine.

This is the best explanation or difference when you trade forex versus cryptocurrencies.
The fees are extremely high compared to when you use some centralized exchanges on crypto, it's really far from forex fees.

Besides volatility, which is already given. I also found out that the user interfaces on some platform of Forex trading platforms are difficult to use or not user-friendly compared to what we have right now on cryptocurrency, extremely user-friendly and easy to use with great user interface and user experience (UI/UX).
