I can understand the "when is low? when is high?" mindset, because there are a lot of people who are willing to buy when it is low, but not sure if we are at the bottom already or will it go down even more? Like for example if you check the 40k price saw a lot of people buying during that time, they were wrong and it dropped more, and people are afraid if they buy around 20k and it drops to 10k they would be losing money too.

That's understandable. Or when it goes up, if you bought at 10k and sold at 35k that was a good increase, but it went to 60k+ how could you know that? Which is the difference and the problem, and I can definitely understand that.

The mining of crypto-assets can consume a lot of electricity, which can result in greenhouse gas emissions, besides purchased grid electricity, crypto-asset mining operations can also cause local noise, electronic waste, air and other pollution from any direct usage of fossil-fired electricity, and additional air, water, and waste impacts associated with all grid electricity usage that can affect on nearby communities.

What are your thoughts?

Fully regulate? Quite impossible. The government would regulate cryptocurrency partially. If you deal with p2p and store Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet like Ledger then how the government would monitor or regulate you? Yes, they can regulate exchange, custodial wallets, etc. That's how they can regulate a large number of users because at the end of the day we have to use the exchange. Dex always won't help is at all points.

BTC, This is the fact that BTC is a P2P asset. The answer to your question as per my own perspective is that actually, crypto needs exchanges, not BTC, Alts do need exchanges and open markets for trading and to survive. The case is not for the BTC as Bitcoiners are not interested in the exchanges but traders do as they need other options as to trade there exchanges play important role.

Well for one the two is closely tied given the fact that a couple of cryptocurrency projects offer betting and gambling as one of their "features", and some will always see any form of chance-based earning as a form of gambling no matter how structured the inner workings of it is. Although posts like these are important in creating a distinction between the two to at least separate them as two completely different concepts that just happened to coincide based on the circumstances.

I think this post and the post of coin gecko would somewhat serve as a sign or a perspective on what Bitcoin can do in the long run and how its importance in the world, not just as a speculative asset. But it's important not to forget people who have also purchased at the top and lost money right now. But if they are to wait and believe that it could go back, it is going to work.

Any artise must do a deeply research before they wanna try to promote cryptocurrency. Ethereum max was a garbage scam token. No doubt if SEC was charging him back with more than one millions USD as fines for his action to promote the scam crypto. This proves that celebrity cares only money but they didn't even care with what happened with their followers. There are so many dumb celebrities.

If humans can't survive then how Bitcoin would survive? We all know what would happen if suddenly we face nuclear war. Everything will be collapsed and the world economy wouldn't survive. The same will happen for Bitcoin. People should be alive and survive first before anything else. We will need a lot of cash or fiat in case of nuclear war. So everyone will start the sale definitely to survive their life. We have to be ready to see Bitcoin collapse as well. No other option except to saving humans. 

You are both right in different ways, I would say as from 60k and above was a good time to sell but @virasog pointed out, with such prediction from whales, it was difficult for many investors to make that move to sell. I believe this does serve as a lesson in the sense that every investor should have a goal and a target point so that they don't get confused when the price surpass their target and keeps going. It is a tough but necessary decision to be made.

Right,the problem is so many newbies are not even learning from their past experience. These newbies are blatantly connecting their wallet to the any of dapps which was increasing the chance for them to be scammed.
I just tell you about the truth if trust wallet was safe but the people itself who have been making it become unsafe

Hi everyone. I'd like to get your take on this since I'm not really sure what am I missing here.

Although one would anticipate that the price of ETH should increase given that the supply has decreased by over 5,500 since last Saturday, for some reason, ETH prices haven't exactly seen the coresponding price boost despite lowered supply.

Why hasn't this had a beneficial effect on the price of ETH?

It pumped last month because of the merge and now it's hovering because the momentum has been moved to other assets in my opinion and of course not just ETH not moving so well, bitcoin as well. It's just matter time that we see ETH to recover again hence we are still in bear market season. So it's expected for the price to remain stable, for now.

Some very good coins out there have lost 95% of their value already is it possible to see more down fall? I'm throwing this to those that are present in last bear market, marketcap and volume is over millions of dollars and price is 95% down?  :I downfall still possible? For example Metahero.

as far as i use wallet mnemonic though no hacking happened. but the vigilance and care of the wallet must really be considered. What I do is often change the wallet if the wallet is used for airdrop transactions because it is so easy for hackers to get our wallet data by sending dusting tokens. but without the information experienced by a friend, I think it is an unnatural thing. did he make a mistake he wasn't aware of?

In human civilization before knowing the means of payment, barter or exchange of goods into a means of payment of a transaction. Because the barter system often had problems, humans began to create commodity money. The history of money entered a new chapter after King Lydia Alyattes of Turkey minted the first official coins.

According to my understanding of your question that I quoted above, if King Lydia Alyattes had not minted the first coins at that time, "Maybe" until now we are still using the barter system. IMO

The cycle of updating the currency system continues to occur as technology develops, now we are in the Bitcoin era. Along the way, the development of Bitcoin has not always been smooth. In addition to price fluctuations, fraud and theft have also colored Bitcoin's long history. As happened in January 2014, (Mt.Gox) the largest Bitcoin exchange platform in the world at that time was suddenly hacked and declared bankrupt.

The world is still turning, humans can still continue to live even though Bitcoin does not exist. I am so grateful to be able to live in an age where Bitcoin is booming, my respect is to Satoshi Nakamoto who created Bitcoin.

It's a good day for bitcoin today. Each bitcoin win should be celebrated because it was a victory against naysayers, haters, and those who wants bitcoin to die. Today, Guinness World Records have added Bitcoin and other blockchain events in its latest record book under a brand-new category called “Cryptomania". Bitcoin was included in the 2023 edition as the most valuable crypto with a market capitalization of $816.69 billion as well as being recognised for being the world’s first decentralised cryptocurrency after it launched in early 2009. CoinMarketCap reports that, Bitcoin’s market cap stood at $372,316,153,554. In addition, El Salvador also features in the book as the “first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender” last year.  Nothing can stop bitcoin now

The cycling does not actually have that effects on the bitcoin price anymore lot of prediction about bitcoin that it could gets to what people  don't even think of, yet today bitcoin couldn't go that much lower as they thought it should be. To me what I understood and taking note of is that there is always much variation in every year but the turning point doesn't really takes action between length of 4 years rather 2 to 3 years before the next bitcoin halving. So if you may ask me I will suggest you should take your time and do your analysis careful.

2022 is going to be the worst year for crypto investors. Any thoughts guys?

Lately it seems that Pi network is growing day by day.  Who can touch Bitcoin on the Pi network?  Many say that the Pi Network will overtake Bitcoin.  I had a bit of a laugh when I heard about the Bitcoin leak.  Bitcoin is the number one coin in cryptocurrency.  I don't think comparing any coin to Bitcoin is anything but silly.  But what is your opinion?  If anyone has an idea about pi network, please let me know.

I came across a post where an advise was ditch out
for newbies like myself not to get involved in new projects,
due to the risk that follows.

But with all honestly, Some project with 3 to 7 months old have one time becomes Scam, Good  example is OKS CHAIN. The project was over 2 years old, yet end up being scam, as the CEO and other dev cart away with so much money. And abandoned the project.

My experience tells me that everything involves around crypto project, Is about risk, except for the president of them all ( Bitcoin ), The vice ( Ethereum ) and the child ( Binance ). Investing in any of these 3 gives risk free system. As they say experience is the best teacher in life.

So i strongly disagreed with the term of " do not invest in a brand new project " to be risk free. A lot of new project has yielded x50
of my investment to me most of the time, What i usually do, Once they're up, i take off with my investment and interest. This is my experiences.
And i strongly believes by doing this, Will yield high success to everyone and also helps you to minimize the risk of lossing all your funds.
