It is possible that Bitcoin price reach $250k, but it will soon after that drop under $100k. Also I would speculate that more possible time frame is 24 months and not 12-18.

I dont know first chart is from obit33, he is long time poster. Second is of new reedit account, a week old https://old.reddit.com/user/felix60 . And in a week he went from super optimistic to super pessimistic to super optimistic again.

There is a lot of competition among web casinos. Only on this forum plenty are getting advertised. Very hard to be on top. I wonder if people will gamble more when crypto bull market will start. On one side they will have more money to spend, but on the other side betting on shitcoin pumps become can be a competition to the web casinos.

This is why centralized tokens are not money. And this is why opaque ledger cryptocurencies matters. If Eteherum would not be transparent ledger cryptocurency then no one would know where this tokens are located and blacklisting wallets would be totally useless. Money have to be fungible to be perfect money!!!

I also believe bull market will happen as soon as uncertainties around covid-19 clear. There will for sure be huge economic impact of covid-19 next year no matter if we get vaccine very soon. But Bitcoin will still enter bull run. Next year will be for sure good year for Bitcoin.

Biggest winner is for sure everything online. So far media was mainly pushing kids to stay away from screen and now story changed. That will for sure have impact on our future. Kids are our future. It will for sure least a year or even more until this media mentality change back to the "kids go play outside" .  Online economy had huge revenue increases and that will keep happening.

I wrote down 2102 page of [XMR] Monero Speculation for future quoting. I just wonder how long will take until the quote will happen.

Two more charts. The bottom point of this story is that every trend at some point break.

You can end up in jail in any country. As long as you break their laws. Some countries have more prisoners then other. Here is a list of TOP10 countries with most prisoners per 100k population. China is ranked only 131. with more then 5 times less prisoners per 100k population of the leading prison country USA. 

Nor top nor bottom matter that much. After last ATH in Dec 2017, Bitcoin was less then 3 months over $10000 and a bit more then half year under $6000. For almost 2 years was $6-10k.   So in 3 years time we will most likely complain about $50-100k Bitcoin price. What the hell is wrong that it dont move up?

Part of the next upgrade is CLSAG. It will reduce transaction sizes and transaction times for if I remember right about 20%.  You can not do that without a hard fork. It is simple. Cant be done. We will have 2 chains one with 20% savings and one without savings. Nodes and miners will decide which to follow.  Centralisation in Monero development is called MORE PRIVACY, SMALLER TRANSACTIONS and FASTER TRANSACTIONS.

It is not the same with coins that have use case. For those coins demand drives price up. For coins that exist simply for fun or to make propel rich there is no other way. Dooge will pump in future again. It will go over 100 satoshi and it will for sure not stay there but go back to 20 sat again. 

https://spellsofgenesis.com/ issued token BitCrystals (BCY) . I had great fun monitor its development and the playing game.

When comparing marketcap of top coins a lot is like comparing apples with oranges.  
You can compare:
1. PoW coins that are not bitcoin blockchain forks and have no premine or instamine or dev tax.
2. bitcoin blockchain forks
3. PoW coins that have premine or instamine or dev tax.
4. tokens
5. stablecoins
6. ...


I am sure there are more categories.

Governments are to work for its people. Nothing what you said in favours people. It only in favours politic elites. Communities will need to collect taxes. They will simply collect them different way. tax different things as now if needed.

Maybe people are getting smart and pulling coins from exchanges?  How can you trust a companies in times like this? We could have huge depression in upcoming year. A lot of companies and also exchanges will sink.

Tron 4.0 will be both boom and bust. First will be pump and then will be dump. But, few months latter there will be Tron 5.0. Sp more hopium.

I believe idea is to do upgrades when they are ready and that is about twice a year. So nothing really changed. In the past almost all upgrades needed to be hardforks. Last one was not. There is misunderstanding in crypto community that Monero was doing hardforks to change mining algo. That is not true. Monero was doing hardforks to upgrade its protocol with new things, while doing it they also could tweak mining algo a bit. It was just an opportunity and if that opportunity would not exist Monero would have ASIC miners before RandomX.  Next upgrade will be hardfork again.   At the end the diferences between hardfork upgrade and not hardfork upgrade are that when hardfork you need to upgrade your wallet. So that makes whole network with the latest software and that is good. Since last upgrade was not hardfork we can still use v0.15 wallets.


And some long term hopium from reddit

Please be serious.
Volume (24h)
$1,40 USD

What can you get for $1.4  And that moved price for 1000%.   A lot of volume is fake. So you cant really look only numbers but you need to try to sell coins in those exchanges showing volume. If you cant, that means it is fake volume. Coin need at least $10k real daily volume to be at least worth looking into it.

How can you call what happened in mid March a normal event? We had pandemic and half of world got locked down. That lock down lasted for 2 months.  Of course Bitcoin price crashed and of course it recovered as it always do. Current price is almost identical as few months after halving in 2016.  Late summer times in crypto trading are usually slow. Little volume since traders are taking vacations.

Traders are going on vacations. Late summers are always slow. If something dramatic happens they will fast return, if not we might have 2 more slow months.
