The "deep state" wants Bitcoin to switch to PoS just to become a centralized coin. Only then, they'll be able to do whatever they want with it. Exchanges usually hold most of the coin's supply (customer funds), so they will have absolute control over a PoS-based blockchain network. Consider how ETH is now manipulated by big players in the industry. This wouldn't have happened if it remained a PoW coin where anyone with a GPU could contribute to its decentralization.

For this and many other reasons, Bitcoin will never become a PoS cryptocurrency. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another hard fork related to BTC that would use PoS as its consensus layer. Ultimately, the longest chain (BTC) will prevail while the new one will quickly fade into oblivion. Who knows if BTC ends uo being the only PoW cryptocurrency in the world? Just my opinion

Stablecoins aren't safe because they're not backed by the government. They're just "private currencies" with USD reserves on a bank (collaterized stablecoins). The risk of loss is higher with algorithmic stablecoins as they're not backed by real USD reserves. I don't get why many people trust stablecoins with their hard-earned money when they're subject to failure.

If you really want to protect your investment, just sell your crypto to USD directly. There's really no other way around. With the recent collapse of USDC and DAI, I'd steer clear from stablecoins until things are sorted out by the regulators in the long run. Who knows if stablecoins are eventually replaced by CBDCs? Just my thoughts

ETH going all the way down to $1 is impossible. The same thing can be said about BTC going down to $10 per coin. But if it happens, most of the altcoins will die because they depend on these two cryptocurrencies alone (BTC and ETH) to survive. After all, Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate most of the crypto market. The only way this will materialize is if governments around the world ban crypto/Blockchain tech for good. Mainstream adoption will decline, leading towards lower market prices in the long run.

Altcoins often come with higher risks than Bitcoin alone, so I'd suggest you diversify your investment to protect yourself against a massive decline in market prices. No one can predict the future so we can only hope for the best. Just my opinion

I don't know about Dogechain (DC), especially when many people claim it's a scam. Developers hold most of the tokens in circulation, so we should expect a "rug pull" anytime soon. As far as Dogecoin goes, I think there's a possibility it will reach $1 for a short period of time. Everything will depend on the situation of the global economy, and the crypto market itself for DOGE to reach such a new ATH.

Those who bought in DOGE cheap, will greatly benefit once it goes all the way to the moon. Elon Musk has been quite silent about DOGE lately (AFAIK), so don't expect any "pump" in market prices anytime soon. At least we know DOGE won't be going anywhere. As long as there's a community behind it, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts

It's technically hard (if not impossible) to add features to a token living on an existing Blockchain network (in this case, the Ethereum blockchain). It would increase gas costs and completely slow down the network. That's because ETH doesn't have the capacity to process smart contracts' computations at a large scale. If developers decide to make Shiba Inu a "privacy coin", they're going to have to use a L2 network just to reduce the burden on the main ETH blockchain. Or they could just create a decentralized mixer like Tornado.Cash that would let SHIBA users "launder" their coins on the go.

With Vitalik not taking the project seriously, we can't expect the token to "explode" in price anytime soon. It won't even reach $0.01 during its lifetime. Who knows if it dies in the long run as people move on to the next big thing in crypto? Just my opinion

"De-Fi" protocols usually reward lenders with every stablecoin deposit. Rates can vary depending on how many people are borrowing coins on the platform. The lower the number of people borrowing, the lower your annual income (APY) will be. It's all driven by algorithms. The only risk would be losing all of your hard earned money if the stablecoin loses dollar parity in the long run. Of course, you can also lose it all with a PoS coin if it loses value. But at least you're not given false promises that they will always retain their value unlike stablecoins.



I think the only advantage would be sending "Fiat" faster and cheaper across borders. Not to mention, stablecoin issuers are able to "freeze" or blacklist your address from being able to send/receive any coins at all (you can do a quick Google search to see for yourself how USDC has been able to blacklist addresses in the past). It's the perfect tool for bankers to get what they want. Therefore, cash is the only solution if you want to "stick" with plain-old Fiat. Otherwise, I'd suggest you go all-in Bitcoin for the long term.

The "altcoin" trend will never go away, as long as there's money to be made. What will disappear are existing altcoin projects that are often driven by hype with no substance behind it. People usually abandon such projects for the next big thing in crypto. I'd say around 90% of altcoins are nothing more than just pure cash grabs by developers. Only a select few will survive in the long run.

Why would I need to worry about alts when I have the best cryptocurrency in the world (Bitcoin)? We'll never know how the crypto market will behave in the long run because of its unpredictable nature. As long as you don't go crazy investing in altcoins, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts

Libra wasn't going to be decentralized at all, especially with Facebook behind it. The new digital cash system was meant to work closely with banks to help provide "banking to the unbanked". It was easy enough to shut down the project due to its centralized nature. But I can't say the same about decentralized cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. While a decentralized cryptocurrency will never be accepted by mainstream governments as the leading world currency, it will certainly reduce Fiat's dominance by a large margin.

There will be more pressure against decentralized cryptocurrencies as they go against what was establish in the first place. I'm fine with Bitcoin just the way it is, as long as it remains decentralized and censorship-resistant. Who knows if Bitcoin lives for centuries? Just my opinion

There's always an opportunity to invest in crypto at low prices. After each bull market, comes an intense bear market, making it easy to follow the rules of "buy low, sell high". People usually panic when they see prices falling all the way down the drain. But that's because they don't know how the crypto market works. Those who are wise, will buy most of the prominent crypto coins at a very low price to obtain huge profits once everything goes back up again.

It's predicted that the next bull market will happen during or after 2024, especially when that's the time BTC's block reward is cut in half. This is not the end of crypto, but rather the very beginning of a long journey filled with excitement for early adopters like us. Who knows if you get lucky next time by acting fast before it's too late? Just my thoughts

MATIC is not hyped like the others, so there's high potential it could maintain its price for years to come. It will rise at a slow and steady rate, as more companies and businesses join the "Polygon train". $20 is not impossible if the project continues to deliver as promised. It's one of the most active ETH alternatives in terms of development and innovation. If big names like Coca Cola, and Disney joined the Polygon chain, then we should expect the coin to explode in price sometime in the future.

I'm still staking MATIC and won't sell until it goes all the way to the "double digits". Who knows if early adopters of the coin will get lucky someday? Just my opinion

Aside from the "limited supply", Bitcoin is (and will always be) the "preeminent" cryptocurrency because it's the one coin that started this craze. None of the other crypto coins would've existed, if Satoshi didn't introduce Bitcoin to the world in the first place. Other coins may have better features, but they're simply "copies" of the original project (even if some of them aren't direct clones of Bitcoin). After all, every cryptocurrency uses Blockchain tech.

It's hard (if not impossible) for Bitcoin to lose its position as the #1 cryptocurrency in the world, unless a rival cryptocurrency comes up with a whole new tech that's superior to Blockchain (and I'm not talking about DAGs). It'll be decades, if not centuries, before this happens. Expect BTC to keep reaching new heights in the future. Who knows if early adopters like us will become filthy rich in the long run? Just my thoughts

I know Bitcoin is getting adopted by many countries worldwide, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Fiat is and will always be "king", because it's backed by the government. Which means the USD won't be going anywhere as the world's reserve currency anytime soon. Even if it did lose its status as the "reserve currency of the world", it certainly won't be replaced by a decentralized cryptocurrency that's outside the reach of both central banks and governments worldwide.

I'm fine with BTC just the way it is, as long as it proves to be a strong alternative to existing Fiat currencies. What's important is that people can get true financial freedom no matter where they are in the world. Bitcoin is already doing its job pretty well, so there's that. If it stays decentralized, it will be able to last a lifetime. Maybe it will co-exist with Fiat decades into the future? Just my opinion

If BTC drops to such a low price (which I doubt it), altcoins will become "worthless". Many of them will die, leaving us with only a few players such as Ethereum and Litecoin. Crypto/Blockchain tech is just getting started, so I wouldn't hope for a major downfall in market prices in the time being. It could take decades, if not centuries, before BTC and altcoins drop all the way down to "rock bottom".

I'd focus on filling my "pockets" with prominent coins at a discount, to sell them at a profit during the next bull market. Don't expect much from altcoins, especially when they aren't as comparable to Bitcoin in terms of decentralization, and censorship-resistance. They're just experimental grounds for Bitcoin which is the real deal. Who knows how long altcoins will last? Just my opinion

They've crashed, but it seems that now the peg is restored. So much for "collaterized stablecoins" that were often claimed to be a safer alternative to "algorithmic stablecoins". This tells us stablecoins are not 100% guaranteed to hold their peg for a long time. I was shocked to read DAI lost its peg, especially when it's decentralized. Only then, I've realized that MakerDAO had USD reserves on SVB just like Circle's USD Coin. It was a complete mess, but I'm glad everything got sorted out.

If the FED hasn't "rescued" SVB deposits, it would've been the end of both DAI and USDC for good. The issuers need a better strategy to prevent such catastrophe from repeating itself again. Hopefully, regulators will weigh on the industry to give a better sense of legitimacy to mainstream investors and traders alike. Who knows if Tether (USDT) would be the next stablecoin to lose its peg? Just my thoughts

The risk of staking stablecoins is simply too high to bear. What happened with USDC lately, tells us that stablecoins should not be trusted at all. You'll never know when they'll go all the way down the drain in an instant. I think it's best to convert your crypto into cash to avoid unnecessary risks in the long run. Saving money in a bank could be an option, but rates are not that high compared to "De-Fi".

At least, the risk of loss is lower with banks. I'd expect stablecoins to mature once regulators tighten their stance against them. With fierce regulations, stablecoin would prove to be legitimate enough for serious investors. Maybe they will get to live alongside Fiat for generations? Just my thoughts

That is true. But less people will use something that's been "outlawed" by the government, due to fear of going to jail or having to pay a fine in return. It's simply not worth the risk. If you have to use a privacy coin, it would need to be in secret to avoid getting caught by the government.

We can't expect privacy coins to rise in price, especially when there's a lot opposition against them. Not like Bitcoin or Ethereum which are embraced by the government with open arms (sort of). These two will go to "infinity and beyond", as long as they don't introduce privacy mechanisms into their networks. Elon Musk is pro-government (AFAIK), so don't expect him to support a privacy coin anytime soon. Who knows where the next bull market will lead us? Just my opinion

That "one" cryptocurrency would be none other than Bitcoin itself. It can do everything altcoins can do via the use of sidechains, L2 networks, and other scaling techniques. Why invest in a risky coin like SHIBA, when it can go all the way down the drain in an instant? "Meme" coins are often manipulated by whales for their own benefit, leaving the average person "rekt" in the process.

The privacy feature could be some sort of "buzz" to "pump" the coin to new heights. But I doubt developers will go this route, especially when they know governments are hunting privacy coins like crazy. If you know how to play your cards right, then SHIBA is the right investment for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. Who knows if this coin eventually dies in the long run? Just my thoughts

The vast majority of altcoins are unstable and highly-centralized, making investors think twice before pouring money on them. Bitcoin is a safer investment because it's the one cryptocurrency that started this craze. No other blockchain compares to Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and censorship-resistance. The fact that the supply is limited to 21 million units, is more than enough for investors to take it seriously as a long-term store of value.

I'd say altcoins are experimental grounds for testing out new features before they're rolled on the BTC blockchain. Developers will decide which features are worth it, for the community to review them. If you know how to play your cards right, altcoins are for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest you "stick" with Bitcoin for a while. No one knows what the future holds for alts, so we can only hope for the best. Just my opinion

In other words, Shiba Inu is a high-risk, high-reward coin. It's not worth the investment if you don't know what you're doing. For the average person, Bitcoin and Ethereum prove to be better alternatives to Shiba Inu for making long-term profits in the safest way possible. SHIBA is just a "meme" coin that can be easily manipulated by whales. It's the perfect tool for traders to make a lot of money in the short term.

But I don't think SHIBA will last for long, especially when it has no real use cases behind it. Only Dogecoin will, because it was the first "meme" coin that spurred the movement. The crypto market is widely unpredictable, so expect the unexpected. Just my thoughts

States will begin to degrade until corporations take over the world. There will be little-to-no government influence in our future society. While crypto will never replace Fiat, it will prove to be an "escape route" from "evil corporations" for those who need it the most. Since privacy is decaying right now, people will switch to decentralized cryptocurrencies for true financial freedom. Crypto is just starting to blossom, so it's going to take decades before they become widely adopted by everyone worldwide.

We're early adopters of the revolution, considering that BTC is only 14 years old. The more unstable nation states become, the more people will trust crypto/Blockchain tech. Who knows if we'll be the ones laughing out in the end? Just my thoughts
