It's more of being undisciplined instead of lacking knowledge, as far as I know this two network has the same address format, even if you're so proficient in crypto you can make such mistake, also this kind of thing happened to those coin that hardforked from btc as well. tbh this not gonna be a big deal if his friend has the private key to the address he sent the token, problem is, the centralized system that exchange has usually very complicated and the privkey most likely saved somewhere along with other hundred thousand address. but i'm sure if the exchange put enough effort it's retrievable, but it also depends whether that gonna incur loss to the exchange or not for undergoing such complicated process.

central bank not gonna shut down, that's why they also trying to create CBDC that is to compete with cryptocurrency that are decentralized, then maybe in the future cryptocurrency will act like more of digital store of value and stock while the money still controlled by bank through CBDC and I think thats the most realistic future I can see. Of course implementation of CBDC will take a long time as always with the bureaucracy of the government and maybe in the future traditional stocks will get tokenized as well allowing it for trading 24/7

True and the tokens that are under ethereum blockchain is so many basically we lost count and those coins all paired with ETH you can imagine that ETH demand not gonna go anytime soonCardano also doing very well, many youtubers in crypto actually hype it up saying it's a good project and i personally think it is but people can have different opinion. ETH on the other hand still have ETH 2.0 coming up that make it more functional, scalable, and all. if ETH could get dumped to $800 i'll be scratching my head since it doesn't seem to be happening in real world scenario.

Any other influencer with such amount could influence the market but not as influental as elon musk. I see the scale of elon's influence in crypto is definitely abnormal, it reminds me of other billionaires that has commented about crypto and no one actually care but elon with just one word everyone going crazy, why? because he's deemed as someone who is proficient in technology, therefore many people who know crypto also follow him. Not difficult thing for elon but definitely not easy as well for other influencers. Elon just has the charm for this kind of thing related to technology due to his company tesla and spacex.

Both scenario could play out but even if bitcoin able to climb up to $55K after the dump or based on your post it's a "major correction" then it's already enough to make those people admit they were wrong after all hitting that amount isn't some measly achievement
but trust me, they keep saying we're in a bear market for reasons and one of them is to accumulate in the very bottom of the dip, I mean what else right? they keep making statement like that because they are in cut loss position and trying to recover their money by scalping and buyback.

Doubt that, many people valued ETH above 1000 dollar and anything below that will be easy buy for them and that's also not an exception for me. Remember although you may consider my statement bullshit but institutional investors actually prefer to invest in ETH because they see its promising future of decentralized apps. with Cardano i don't really know but ETH at this point is already reaching really large audience and even if you consider how much eth needed to execute smart contract it's very obvious that the demand will not lacking in the future, people who says nope today will say i regret in few years.

Good news but how about the news that's spreading before about Paypal accepting crypto for their payment gateway? it's more important than paypal letting users transfer their btc outside their platform since it means it's gonna cover a really wide customers while also expose them to bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.
Many popular e-commerce platform already accept paypal as their one payment method and if they succesfully implement what they promised it's gonna be such a bomb, though we could just buy gift card as well if paypal allows withdrawal of btc to third party wallet.

They maybe sold some big portion of it, but if they did sell all of their coins as some of people speculated here, isn't that good though? basically one more threat that holds back btc growth eliminated so we can have a smooth as silk bullrun in the future.
Basically a bright future since no more manipulation, fud, etc by just one corporation.

We don't even know what address they are holding the BTC, big fat chance it's gonna be in custodial service where there's insurance but thats just my speculation. They could slip to the market and no one gonna even notice if they gradually dumped it without trying to leave any trace.

No one know for sure whats really gonna happen but media mostly got it wrong and you see they are also starting to publish news rather late so why trust speculation from such nonsense media, even if the market goes bearish we could still see yet another bullrun
and i will tell you the truth this kind of media publish such FUD usually aims for people who are really afraid to further spread the news making it like self fulfilling propechy so it's better to stop helping them spreading the fuds.
Instead, if you want to know about btc analyzation price why don't just you join such discussion like in reddit, etc?

If you're a US citizen didn't coinbase already have a service where they gonna take care of it for you and what you need to do is to fill some form? I mean coinbase literally have a department specialized for that
https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/taxes-reports-and-financial-services/taxes/coinbase-tax-resource-center so maybe you better contact them through that since you know they are a professional in that field.
But i think you're not gonna pay for capital gain taxes before you really make the "capital gain" or the profit is still an unrealized profit but i could be wrong, better ask the professional.

Next to none, if you believe so these forecast website so much then might as well program a bot that follows their forecast but nah, these predictions are mostly just speculation and doesn't guarantee accuracy. If their forecast could even get their prediction right 1 out of 3 most of people gonna flock to this website but instead people trying to make their own technical analysation meaning even those so called expert TA doesn't really trust each other prediction and they usually have their own way of making prediction. Best thing to do is just to see the project with your own eyes and make decision out of it in my opinion.
Many people actually have become succesfull in investing crypto for simply seeing the technicality of the project and rarely I see someone making consistent profit using these forecasting website.

function from an address? did you mean function from a smart contract address? if yes then that's not possible since the account you used to send a transaction will always pay for gas but if the function itself is just a constant, pure or view function then it just requires you to make a call and no gas will be consumed.

If you just seeking some stable investment that's not gonna make you losing any money then maybe the best investment for you is just to stake stablecoin and wait until it somehow make your money grow and let you recover your loss.
If you are asking which altcoin gonna bring you enormous profit it recover your lost instantly then no one know. tbh, there's also yield farming that could gives big return but the volatility is what stopping most of people, maybe you can try that way but remember it has the risk of making you lose your money due to volatility.

What do you mean with still hot? NFT is still going strong as ever and even growing now many companies that are big also starting to implement NFT, trust me within few years NFT gonna dominate because it's usefulness, I even predicted that many games in the future will implement NFT and it's not only limited to that.
I'd even say the current stage of NFT is still on its early phase, many people seeing NFT as gimmick because they really don't know the potential behind NFT and how it can be more impactful to end user than cryptocurrency itself, just mark my word in the future it's gonna happen.

in my opinion staking is definitely recommended but only if you know what exactly you're doing, the chance of losing your coin is always there as I heard smart contract breach could allow any malicious person from stealing your money but it happens very rarely since most of the code usually audited first not to mention it's defi we're talking about.
But, you must also remember that staking isn't just waiting for it to give you the promised APR, many thing could happen betweet the period of your staking moreover if it's locked it could pose some danger of missing opportunity, so you need to take into account all the possibility that could occur within your period of staking however I always recommend a reputable staking platform.

It will go bullish instead, many people expecting bearish after seeing the recent market dump but btc always go against their expectation and my argument strongly backed up by the news circulating of accumulation by whalesbut of course some people will still get clouded in fear and not gonna believe it but many have actually turn side in the bullish side because the price pattern looks like when it's going to go up. we can be wrong though after all its just speculation but its definitely not just wishful thinking, i think btc market still going strong despite elons market manipulation and many more.

So silly question bitcoin is the thing that started it all, even though it's more of a precious digital goods or digital gold than having any utility other than having remmittance functionality nowadays it's still essential, most of coins also paired against it
Yes ETH, BSC, or even TRON that you keep glorifying since like a month ago have better features than btc but do you think a coin is just that? just because those features the coin deserve to have high value? definitely not BTC could become so expensive nowaday because most of people always recognize btc first.

No one could predict such pump and dump project, it could go up hundred times it could also go down near to losing its value,
maybe it's better if you stay away from it altogether since if you're trying to gamble there's no need for gimmicks of making gamble disguised as investing not to mention ur question sounds like youre asking for people to predict future, none of us here are fortune teller and those price statistic you showing means nothing because whether the coin gonna pump or not up to the market

if i'm being frank that's true, even better if the cex offers insurance so it equals out the risk we can have from exchanging using either dex or cex, but the problem with dex is sometime there's fake smart contract everywhere it's just really risky and i think the dev of the dex should do something about that like making community report feature to tag it as phishing or scam, but the lower tier of cex also could be very shady, sometime i just look at the liquidity and just use it temporarily like withdrawing after im done converting my money

these big company have many patents but never actually use it for the betterment of the community instead they just keep it to themselves, with smart contract i think paypal will open up their platform to crypto people but certainly its not gonna go against their interest but i could imagine its gonna stimulate other companies to use smart contract if paypal could prove it to be beneficiary, the most important thing is to see how they could actually implement use of smart contract to their centralized system and im really curious about that.
