I think A global food shortage is an unlikely risk.  My country has not yet fallen into a food shortage but is only affected by rising inflation and price fluctuations due to increased fuel and production costs.  Do you think a bag of fertilizer can easily triple during covid19?  Lol, some greedy millet took advantage of the difficult situation to hoard and push up the price and sell them to get rich, supply - demand imbalance as well as import increase - export decrease.  I think each country has to base on the country's situation to make appropriate actions and plans.  For example, a country with advantages in agricultural production and export will continue to develop, build a transportation system that easily transports food goods, connect production and consumption areas, etc.  medium and long-term credit to stimulate investment expansion in agriculture/agriculture….  For countries that do not have an advantage in food production, etc., it is possible to reduce the urbanization rate of the plains

I don't know why you are comparing with 2020?  While we have experienced a painful 2022, major correction, prolonged bear market, FuD and FuD caused the negative to push the market into crisis.  The spark is that bitcoin is coming back to continue to represent the market value, something in January gave credence and I think it's time to get out of the bear market and build new confidence.  The recovery needs to take place in stages and bitcoin is doing well for now.

Bitcoin is representing a sustainable and strong market in the face of negative impacts from FUD - SEc.  bitcoin is still moving sideways within a strong support area and not much volatility.  The data shows that the hash rate of the bitcoin network continues to increase by more than 300 EH/s which means that mining activity is on the rise again, which also demonstrates huge confidence in bitcoin.  The 7% drop leads me to believe that in terms of strategy bitcoin is continuing to perform well after the January rally. I think the possibility of this remains, bitcoin is perfectly fine with a slight uptick and still flat.

Yes, that's your good point.  But for me let's say bitcoin goes up and starts to build here along with data showing bitcoin mining difficulty keep increasing to 39.24T.  Totally feel bitcoin is vibrant almost again.

The continuation of the 2023 macroeconomic downturn makes me think bitcoin will have a hard time entering the next bull season.  Ideally, there should be a recovery leg, after bitcoin built strong momentum in January – 15k bottom formation structure.  It is an optimistic signal but it is difficult for new money to come in, or in other words, confidence needs to be re-created in the market.  So what more can we expect???  The worst case would be a fresh bottom of 12k but a strong bounce or bitcoin moving sideways and correcting slightly, with less volatility at 20-30k.

Yes, I agree! Kraken and Coinbase are holding a combined 33% of all tokens staked.  The SEC has shown that they will continue to tighten regulations on centralized exchanges (after FTX ends), they have reason to do so.  I believe it would be a strategic mistake to let momentum pass without a representative value that accurately reflects the shifting structure of the market.  That is also the reason why LDO, RPL, FXS are tightening short-term uptrend.  If the SEC continues to act, Once again decentralization is the way market demand goes.

Yes, i think Bitcoin could drop to 18-19k as reflected by FUD - SEC and will continue to correct for more impetus, I guess the market will either move sideways at 21k or correct at 19k before going up  .  We saw a strong bitcoin price rally in January, which is an important part of bitcoin's strength.  I am optimistic that Q1 will be the time when bitcoin breaks $25k

I agree.  Kraken has almost no move to show that they are providing services in the right direction.  And easily handcuffed.  Look at coinbase - Paul Grewal, they make claims and evidence that their staking products are not securities in disguise to refute the SEC's allegation.  https://twitter.com/iampaulgrewal/status/1624173847888171008?s=46&t=r0atquMLEL2jVhZvoq-0qA

I think there is reason to believe that Lido, Rocket pool, FXS are accurately reflecting user adoption as short-term rally values ​​gain momentum.  I believe that if the SEC continues this FUD-like crackdown, betting on decentralized exchanges represents the direction of the next market.

Invest 60% of your savings in bitcoin, that's understandable.  Let's calculate the simple interest you deposit them in the bank for 4 years versus investing in bitcoin.  Easy to realize the value bring, you will decide, bitcoin is completely risk-free for value building plan as a savings.  I think bitcoin still has the possibility to go below 20k$, you can make cumulative buy, 5%, 10% according to the situation.  For the majority of young people, always interested in investing in bitcoin and learning them, I am one of them.

In the year 2022, the company I work for voted to experiment with salary payments every 1/2 months.  It is a favorite experience for me, the salary every 2 weeks helps me to control my living expenses and regulate it accordingly.  Unfortunately after a 3 month trial, a vote was made and finally returned to the monthly salary.  Nowadays, all types of businesses apply basic salary that increases according to sales performance and targets, I like this job.  It creates great momentum.

Holding money and holding bitcoins is essentially an analogy to the act of saving that people's minds want to orient towards. 
Keeping money - create a backup fund for living, emergencies, health, entertainment…
keeping bitcoin - create speculation, a passbook for the future, payments, store of value… Review  In terms of benefits, I think whatever for the purpose?  Bitcoin holding is proactive and future-oriented.

Volatility is very small right now but I don't think there will be another bigger bottom at 12k, 15k bottom formation and 24k rally could offer great potential for long-term holding on the macro outlook tissue.  The biggest possibility is that bitcoin could stay below 18-20k, plenty of time left in 2023. We could end Q1 breaking $25k.  I believe bitcoin has led the market out of the bear market after a somewhat more stable economic outlook, it has ignited new demand in the market.

The decision to invest is yours, if you are really interested in crypto investment in new project(altcoin) then it is possible.  But it should be noted when investing in altcoins, you may be willing to accept the risk of 100% loss (scam, rug pull,...), if you can't determine this, then choose bitcoin/ETH  (bitcoin holds 50% market share, ETH about 25% market share) to ensure safety and solid profitability in terms of sustainability.  Your best choice!

I think paper money will be eliminated in the future but the time of application will not be soon to synchronize worldwide for reasons such as:
1. Habits
2. Infrastructure, people's knowledge
3. equipment users  .  

We seem to have experienced the covid19 pandemic - the way people change their habit of limiting cash and opting for electronic/crypto payments instead.  Until those reasons improve, I think it's time for the world to get rid of cash.  Advanced economic states also remove the limits of crypto payment.

It may not be a melodramatic movie but now with Ordinals launching nft on bitcoin has created a lot of controversy.  And adoption may vary with another sidechain but still linked to bitcoin by nft.  Also, Defi on bitcoin is well worth the wait as the next craze.  The free market is open to the application of this scope.  I think I will search and plant some seeds there - maybe RSK/ Sovryn 

I think we all have predictions based on technical analysis or bull cycles.  For me, 100k on bitcoins is not a surprise, it is the macro impact that bitcoin power can fully achieve even beyond that.  Of course, I think the possibility of reaching 100,000 by 2025 may be more realistic.  The year 2023 is the process of market restructuring to create momentum for recovery first, creating resilience and finally growth.  My prediction in 2023, bitcoin will close the candle at 30-36k$

Yeah, ETH 2.0's PoW to PoS transition is in the final stages.  I think this is also the driving force for value growth by big injections.  In terms of price effects, sometimes ETH has more traction than bitcoin, but generally it will move with bitcoin.  At the same time, ETH's wide range of applications still represents its great potential in the future.  Bitcoin halving, it will be big pumps and just hold ETH, profits will come I think

Like the market's movements in January, a recovery of >35% is a very optimistic signal.  Most likely in February there will be more corrections lower and lower volatility to form a pinned 15k "bottom".  We're at 23k3 and that's a good thing.  From there, it's easy to see how faster bitcoin moves.  My expectation is bitcoin will break 25k this February.  In addition, the 18k price area will be strongly supported.

Yes. I think with such a high APR to stimulate demand for such an early stage investment, it is understandable.  But how sustainability really matters, over time their liquidity pools will dry up quickly.  Where does the hedge fund for that come from??  this is also one of several other things on defi that have similar problems.  I think looking at an attractive cake is not necessarily a good piece of cake.

I think the Web3 trend is opening the door to potential and is ready to explode.  I expect Theta, ETNY and Dot to shine with strong and explosive traction next year, combined with the time of the next bitcoin halving, this will be a very strong wave.  Recently some controversy between NFT on bitcoin and defi on bitcoin could trigger a new trend, it is also possible to find more promising projects.

January 2023 with 39% was the most impressive mover for bitcoin in the same period in 10 years.  The start of February also shows that the market is ready for the bitcoin wave to return and 24k4 looks like a difficult range to break in the first week of this month and 23k2 looks to be a reliable stop.  23k8 is the range to wait for a sideways move.  I think the market will need more momentum to go through 25k or it will move sideways and break 25k completely soon.  But it is clear that a rapid recovery increase will be more unlikely than January
