From memecoins to nft's etc what do you think will be the next hype of 2024 or 2025? I personally think of real utility and true privacy. I think CBDC's and constant blockchain tracking will scare a lot of people and they will want true privacy something that monero can bring. Privacy by default is what will be highly desired and needed in the coming future as it will be highly beneficial. Nobody wants to be tracked 24/7 of everything they do.

What do you think?

Trading requires skill trading is easy if you have good experience.

You can buy and hold any cryptocurrency of your choice like bitcoin ethereum etc. This is the advantage of holding which you can easily profit by selling again when the price rises.

I think it is realistic to choose Ethereum as an investment because, up to now, Ethereum is still the best altcoin and is only below Bitcoin. The reputation it carries is beyond doubt. Even though many altcoins are growing and there are many alternatives available, of course Ethereum is still a rational choice to continue to hold as a very promising investment in the future.For those who are too lazy to do analysis, of course it is a natural thing to choose Ethereum, but I also feel that there are still altcoins that are also good; although not better

BNB is one that is really worth considering because it always gives surprises when it reaches its peak.

So Im still surprised If anyone still use Banks they are old

Marketcap: 19 Mio $

He's still the main guy, just not that much showing his face of the public. There are YT videos were he debates LTC with others.
Latest is this one I think:

The marketing of LTC is non existing. And now it comes they do have a marketing department. What they do? I fear no one knows.   
Litecoin being on Paypal is a huge plus though. 

You can not seriously compare 2018 to 2023 in Crypto. Or 2010 to 2018 for that matter.
Every situation is quite different. The userbase of crypto has risen, due to 25000 new "opportunities"
Some have turned maxis even.

if they are influencers who shill coins, they are always biased with what they are saying.

but its not so bad following those channels that provide news about what is going on in crypto space like the channel of Paul Barron or George. i have been listening to them for some time and there are news that i only heard from them which is not posted in this forum. ETF updates and SEC regulations are always the news that i always want to be updated that's why i'm following those channels.

Well, that's right, or maybe his uncle needs professional help because it somehow related on his personal decision making since he shows symptoms like being impulsive on the things that he want once he makes money.

Also I agree with you that maybe his uncle only needs a sympathy advice for him to realize that he's no longer young and there's nothing wrong for leisures as long as you are able to maintain your well being and finances.

But I totally believe that we will experience market correction in the next few days and bitcoin will be quite affected. But no worries with bitcoin as its price will never stay longer in a bearish price, it will always recover again from every price drop.

You could say this is a trap so that people are influenced to invest in some of the Altcoins they have mentioned. 

I think most of this meme coin FOMO is over, thank god! I agree that some of them were good for a laugh and when you take DOGE, it was funny what was happening around it and how that coin could establish itself at the top of CMC, but honestly it became ridiculous when the fifth coin with a dog or the third coin with a frog was pumped and made it speculators lose money. However, if someone ever lost money on a coin with a dog or a frog, I doubt that they deserve a lot of empathy. I think nobody would expect an investment into these types of collectibles to make them rich outside of crypto. They are memes and the value itself is a joke for its most part.

BTC FOMO is less dangerous than the meme coin or shit coin FOMO as BTC will actually not go to zero and has excellent prospects to recover if someone got the timing totally wrong or was unlucky. At least that person isn't left with vaporware afterwards.

I really hope that people learn from all the negative experiences many other users had to go through and keep their coins on their own wallets, after all this is not the first hack that it has happened to an exchange and it surely is not going to be the last, hackers are simply too good and have too much time to infiltrate such large targets, so people need to keep their coins out of exchanges, and if they do not want to use a decentralized alternative, they need to exchange their coins and then get them out of the exchange as soon as possible.

Looking at the current Binance position on the market, surely the urgency or priority from the regulator is more concerning to them compared to others. But that doesn't exclude others to comply with the applicable regulation in the meantime, at some point in time, the authority will look back and demand clarity of how the business operates. If turns out they were not compliant in the past, I believe the SEC will take the matter into account.

As of now, I agree this is a wake-up call specifically for businesses in the cryptocurrency ecosystem to carefully and thoroughly reflect whether they meet the applicable regulator or policy, or not.

If regulatory pressures are mandated and become more strict, the issue won't be experienced specifically for Binance, but also for other services that still don't comply with regulatory needs. Each government surely will attempt to make policies to govern and control borderless things like cryptocurrency, as soon they get rigid regulation, they will try to limit and request compliance for any centralized services that serve their own users.

Time will tells, and they would simply just wait before their turns come to follow any applicable and required policy and regulation concerning the matter.

How is that good? It's just distrust for services. People withdrawing money because they are scared of losing it, and fear is not good for adoption. Trust is.

And this is not CEX vs DEX. Dexes and bridges get hacked all the time. In fact it's quite telling that new multi million dollar hack is barely in headlines anymore. And markets need to absorb those, and by doing that they are laundering money and that's just more ammo for regulators to tax us to ground. Or even to shut down. And before people say that crypto can't be shut down, they might be right, but regulators can drive the price and liquidity to grave from here, just by choosing right actions. This depends on several things, but constant hacks doesn't help adoption in any way.

Even myself, I also feel riding with this FOMO. And most likely, I will get there soon once I have gained spare money to invest.

I really support this idea, because it is true that the best altcoin is still ETH even though there are so many other new projects.
but it all started from the ETH network they just copied it,

and the copycat will never be better than the original.

Trading is as easy as we think in reality trading is not that easy.

Trading is definitely not easy mostly for those with less knowledge about It
