I mean we all would lose a lot of money, every single dime I saved so far would be gone, but the reality is that I used it well enough to pay for so many stuff so far, with my profit and income, so I would still be happy, I would say that was a good period of my life and I will try to find something else.

If crypto started to not exist today, my life would get worse, and by that I mean like REALLY worse, for a while, but then eventually I am sure it will recover, after all I can't be unemployed forever, it will get better with time, and I think it is going to get a little bit better with time and I will do fine, it is going to be something to do and I will probably find something that's greater and not going to have much issues.

The difference is that, billionaires could come out of anywhere, you could be a drop out, you could be smart, you could be educated, you could be anything if you just want to be a billionaire, because there are so many things involved about that. But if you just want to have a normal job, and want to live a comfortable life, as in like have a house, wife, two kids, a car, maybe even two, and send them to decent schools until college, that all comes down to a great education.

Harvard guys may not end up being billionaires all the time, but they sure can afford a house sometime during their life, and cars too. This is what we are talking about when we say education, you need to have education to be at that level, it helps at least.

As everyone has seen, $DOGS has been listed successfully and those who had free tokens have already made a good profit. Looking at its performance so far, it can be said that it may also grow in the future because people are still very interested in $DOGS and are investing heavily. Many people, including me, are holding onto their current tokens because they are hopeful that $DOGS will continue to grow.

But one thing that we should all keep in mind is that $DOGS is also a meme coin and meme coins cannot be trusted much. It is also possible that contrary to our hopes happen, like other meme coins, it may also deceive us and our money may be lost. Therefore, we should invest in meme coins only as much as we can bear the loss. If you have got the tokens for free from the airdrop or an event, then there is harm in holding a portion of it and see what happens in the coming days.

No one can predict with certainty what will happen in the future, and I agree with that. However, looking at the history of ETH and Bitcoin, it doesn't seem likely that ETH will surpass Bitcoin. ETH has never reached the heights that Bitcoin has, and when Bitcoin falls, Ethereum falls even more sharply compared to other altcoins. So, I don't think it's likely that Ethereum will ever surpass Bitcoin.

As you said, the crypto market is constantly changing, and there's no denying that the crypto market has always been surprising. It's also possible that the coins we're talking negatively about today or don't expect to make a profit in the future may surpass everyone's expectations. Only time will tell, and we can only say what we feel or what we see happening.

Things might be different in the future, but for now, it doesn't seem that ETH has the power to surpass Bitcoin in anything.

Will they? Maybe, but will it be cared? I do not think so. Remember that there are so many nations that ban so many things, in the end we still keep using it. You think torrent is legal? It has been illegal for over two decades now, and yet we still illegally download music, videos, movies, even ebooks for the past some years.

So, it is clear that just because you make something illegal, doesn't mean that it is not used, maybe less people will use it, that much is true, there are people who are so afraid of committing a crime, they would not even log into their telegram account, but how many people would do that? Not even half, maybe quarter of the telegram users, we will keep having telegram as the main chat for crypto for many years without a doubt, even with legality in question.

I do agree that bitcoin has a chance to become more and more mainstream because it seems like it is not leaving anywhere. For the first year, the question was if people would even accept it, nowadays it's clear that people do and the real question is if we are going to end up with a good progress for a further time, that's what we need to know and I believe that we are going to end up with a period where it is going to be growing further and further. This is why I suggest that we should look at this as something that will stay, at least in our life time, so investing for long term is great.

Anyone who doubts that much, doesn't know what bitcoin is capable of doing and hasn't check it's history. Considering something got this high this quickly, trillions of dollars worth of market cap in about 15 years, is something that needs to be taken seriously and it is doing fine, I think it has to be something that we can all agree on and could consider as good.

These are not really that great, I mean in general the most common "utility" comes from trading and investing and payments, that's it and nothing more. While people can use it for other stuff, we need to realize that it is not going to be that common and we are not going to see this work out that commonly, it exists solely for the people who use it for more advanced ways.

Market uses it for the main three things which I mentioned, trading, investing and spending that so that they would get something. That's the only thing that people will continue to use, and that's why I think we need to focus on what we can do, and if we ignore all the others and just use this part then we are going to be able to get better results on why people use it.

I would say it doesn't matter if you have some right now or none at the moment, you can buy bitcoin at the moment and you can do a lot better. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just focusing on what you can do, and because that would not be all that easy to handle if you keep on buying and the price doesn't go down, it may go down or it may go up.

We need to make sure that it is going to be something that we can handle it all, and that's the key here. All we can do at the moment would be just buying and doing the best we can do and because of that we need to consider that buying at the moment and keep on buying more and more. The more we buy, the more we will profit when the price finally goes up at the right time.

While there is a possibility that it may not repeat itself, what is better, investing based on what the history has shown us and have data to back that up, or investing based on "what if it doesn't happen this time"? I think it's clear that people prefer to do what they want to do. But, if you are right and the history doesn't repeat itself then we are going to see a down and a ton of people losing money, so I definitely hope that we are right and you are wrong.

History doesn't always repeat itself, sometimes it breaks the cycle and does something different, but that doesn't mean that this is going to be one of those days, we could have something similar or we could have something totally different.

This is so true, and not many people understand why it's so true as well. However, there are situations that are not that similar, so if you have same strategy for all the situations then you are going to have to find something that works for all of them, which isn't easy. I am not saying that's wrong, I am not saying don't do it neither, I am just saying that it is not that common and it will probably not be done that easily neither, just avoid that if you can and you will do fine.

We are talking about everyone's habit that will not be easy to handle, and because of that I believe that the best thing to do is try to find that strategy which works for every single situation. It may take a long long time, you may even never find it, because I have never found one that works both on bull a lot, and bear a lot.

Ease of use, simplicity, the way you trade, everything depends on what one person is looking for. I mean we see a lot of people here who say phone, those people just buy and sell, they do not look at 8 different charts and 10 indicators to figure out what to buy, they just buy and sell, they do a simple trading but they can do it on the couch, laying, watching netflix tv shows, which is the easesit and most relax way of trading and prone to make a profit because it would lack stress as well.

Whereas, there are also people who do it on three monitor pc's with a lot of alerts going off and tons of charts and head/shoulder patterns and the ema and the Bollinger band and the.. well you get the point, those people use PC, that's just how it is.

That is true, because trading is nothing like gambling at all and they are not aware of what they are talking about. The only way we can say trading is anyway similar to gambling would be futures without knowing anything and just jumping into high leverage trades. It's clear that people are aware of the fact that spot trading is nothing like gambling and they are still comparing it, which shows us that they are so uninformed about how to trade that they think it's like gambling. If they studied and learned how to be a better trader, they would have seen the difference, meaning that it is not about lack of understanding, it is the lack of studying it.

Anyone who knows how trading works, would know the difference, if they do not know the difference that means they have never studied to be better at it, which caused them to be ignorant about the differences between the two. Simple mistake, if you never studied geography, you would think USA is right under Australia too, you just have to learn some stuff.

This is true, and not even just for crypto, even if you do gold or stocks or bonds, DCA methods is the the best way to make any money. You know why people who do DCA knew how to do it before anyone else? Because, they knew that it's the way all the wealthy people make their money after they became wealthy, but not before.

You do not start with 100 dollars and have a billion dollars with DCA, you get a billion dollars first and then do the DCA and that keeps you wealthy and they have bene doing that for over 4-5 decades, longer if you look at other type of historical investments but no need. So when those people first got to crypto, they started doing it, and it's working but because it's much faster to go up, it works much better here and makes you richer.

I agree with OP to a degree. I mean if we are talking about top ranked ones then I like them, they are not really that bad, like if we look at it closely then ETH is an altcoin too and that's not too bad and if you want to invest into that then it's fine.

But, I agree with the logic that we see a lot of people who make a lot of mistakes and they should not really consider how they could improve and because of this I believe that we are going to end up with a loss, we should probably ignore that and we could make something much better, it would guarantee a bigger income. This is why I believe that the best thing to do right now would be getting it done in a smaller way, it would be a great reason to invest carefully into these.

I don't get why it is so hard to ignore memecoins? I have been doing it for 10 years now, started with Doge, and been ignoring it when they got this famous as well. Since 2021 and Elon Musk tweeted about Doge, everyone and their grandmother is building a new meme, which shows that it is not a good project to invest into because all those people are just interested in your money and not interested in making you any money at all. Why would it be so hard to ignore them?

I mean I haven't put a single dime into any of them, and didn't had any hard time about it, I just simply do not check any memecoin, as soon as I see one, I just move on and not even take a look, I ignore it that way. Do that, ignore it, it is not hard.

Every cricket fan is sad with the recent development happening in Asian region because we have massive down in performance and quality for the Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka things are going from bad to worse, but we are having no solid strategy for bringing them back on track because all managements are having their own issues even money is not problem but things are still getting not on expected track which is the biggest concern here for them.

In this test match, we have no preparation from the Pakistan team their bowling was worst in presence of top quality bowlers and their batting is also having no depth with both inning we have no patience from the top order which bring them down, and they lost first test match against a team which is having just 14 wins from their 143 test matches. Bangladesh done impressive job as they bowl good in second inning and learn from their mistakes which they have done in first inning then batting was impressive which help them for having 565 runs.

I agree with this, the exchange I use allow me to hold fiat, and while I do prefer bitcoin over fiat, I also prefer fiat over tether as well. Just because you are a crypto person, doesn't mean that you have to support tether, they are not really doing anything good for the crypto world, they are just a few people who own a company and tell you that they have 1to1 backing of all the dollars and they are just giving you a fake version.

Literally the only reason why they are preferred like this is because they are at every exchange, remove tether from exchanges, get them delisted and it is not worth a dime and everyone would crash withdraw all their money from them. This is why just because you like crypto, doesn't mean you have to support this stablecoin.

It depends on the risk we are taking as well. I mean if you are taking some useless risk then its not ok to take those risks just to learn later on, because you should already know about it and not make that kind of mistakes to begin with. I mean think about it, there are tokens which are memecoins and not even in the top 3000 list at CMC, and there are people funding those, do you really need to know anything before not investing into those?

You should know that there isn't really anything you could make money from those and that is why you should avoid them, there isn't anything you can learn from that, you should already know this. Of course you could make mistakes, there are levels of mistakes that is acceptable and that could make sense but that's only acceptable if you take a risk that makes sense to people as well, otherwise if you are investing into something shitty then do not consider that as a risk that you should be taking at all.

I do not think that neither tether, nor CBDC, nor any other stablecoin will be "the new USD", because USD is USD and all of them are tied to it, whatever USD does, they just have to follow, so if USD gets devalued, then USDT does too, it's that simple.

Bitcoin is far better than any other stablecoin when you want to hold long term and that is why everyone prefers it, looking at the charts USDT is looking like something that people only use when there is a bear market, aside from bear markets nobody really cares about it. Remember that this is just backed by one company, and companies could be sued and destroyed by governments, just be careful when you trust all of your money to some people at some company, instead of a whole nation.

Blaming the victim could help you a lot, but you can check how much the house prices changed in the last 50 years while also how much the salaries changed. Look at just the last 20 years if you want, or even last 10 years. You will see that house prices went up way more than the salaries, so that means that people who work a normal day right now, can't end up buying a house, because it's too expensive

 In my country, it's literally impossible to buy a house right now, you inherit it, or you have other stuff you sell to get it, but your salary would never be worth it due to high interest, not because of the price of the houses directly, those are high too of course but the high interest rate makes it unending till you finish it off. Do not blame people for getting phones or  clothes, when nobody pays them enough to buy a house.
