I’ve been in crypto for 3 cycles now. This is my 4th. My first cycle I held and sold at a loss at the bottom after the bull run. It was my first time diving into crypto. I quit crypto at that point. My 2nd cycle I missed it (because I thought crypto was dead), my third cycle I made a million dollars. This cycle I’ll make a few millions. MANY people go thru the cycles exactly how I did. But one day the cycles won’t be as volatile and the swings won’t be as big (just like how the stock market was volatile like this and now it drops like 30% on world ending news). The chance to make your money is now. If you’re buying now, you can easily 10x your money from picking anything from the top 100-200. When the FOMO comes everything will rise. If you know you know the timing of the cycles and the halving. 2025 is bull year. This year is supposed to be a mini bull which crashes (but not back to ATL). You can try to time it or just sell the top in 2025. If you’re reading this consider yourself lucky. The risk return ratio is too good to pass up. This is an opportunity. If you’re selling now you’re insane. Buy low sell high. The cycles narratives always get fulfilled. FUD, doom, and gloom, was needed for the bear market. Most people believe it’s dead now. This is perfect. Everything is going as planned. The dates all lining up. I truly believe Nov was the bottom. During the bull market crypto will be the future again. Just like how it was the future in 2018. Sell high. When the Tik tok gym girls are buying, you sell. You don’t sell now!!! DO A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND UNDERSTAND THE CYCLES AND THE HISTORICAL DATA. I HAVE SEEN HOW THE “WHALES” CANGE THE SENTIMENT. ITS ALL MARKETING. GOOD NEWS WILL COME OUT, the whales literally pay for it . Don’t be a sheep. Be ahead of people. I don’t believe in crypto. I do want to make money. I don’t believe in any of the coins. My biggest bag is SOL and it’s the shittiest chain imo. But I got it at 10$ and I know it can hit 200$. Try to predict human nature, how things work. And come out on top. There is so much more I can say. I’ve put a lot of thought into this. I’ve been in “markets” for over 2 decades now I can say many things. In this life you make a bet/prediction based on information. You can’t think like everyone else. You need to think, WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE GOING TO DO? It’s not all fundamentals and technicals. Understand humans, their nature, etc. Remember this is a zero sum game. When we sell on top, we will be taking this money from someone. Who? Think hard on who we will be taking the money from. Like I said I can say a lot. But I can’t, there is too much to say. This is just for some guidance because I see so many people who are just lost. Bear trap, is it this is it that? Influencers saying one thing and the complete opposite happening. Trust me, 2025, I sell. Get your heads out of your ass. Don’t be blind. Don’t believe everything and don’t be naive. There is no conspiracy, there is only the harsh reality. Not everything is what it seems. Trust me, the money we will make is not good money, there is a lot of trickery that will go down. But I won’t sit here and watch, I’m gonna make my money. You can’t save everybody. In fact, you need people to be down for people to be up. That’s the way of life. 2025 🚀🚀🚀

ITS NOT easy. Its dificult and not even convenient, and you still have to trust the 2nd party. Its like waiting for the internet to be disked on the 90s while you plug the cell phone cable to the modem. Bisq isnt convenient neither easy, its good for non Kyc altough you can also be caugth because you used your bank acount even with the credit card you can be identified so, not even at this its the best option around. Another good option for you and europeans its RELAI app, and its way easier then Bisq.

Whatever hardware you get, make sure **ITS FROM THE OFFICIAL SITE!!!!!** Do not cheap out and get it off a friend or ebay or amazon or any other site. You are in danger of getting fucked over if you do. I have a ledger but my portfolio is a simple as can be BTC ETH LTC and some other random shitcoins but they all fit comofortably on a ledger. Can recommend, easy to setup and use.

While I'm somewhat of a trained mathematical expert, I find it extremely hard to believe that something currently valued at $23k will be valued at $200k without hitting $70k. Then again, I remember this is bitcoin, so it's not like we're on the normal number line here. Real numbers in the bitcoin valuation world pass through the asymptote all the time. Or for the lay-person, "ITS COUNTING SIDEWAYS!"

STOP SPREADING THIS HEADLINE ITS CLEARLY BS. They just LISTED the top performing assets of 2023 SO FAR, and now the dumbest BTC shillers we dont want to claim are trying to spread this around like it shows bullishness or adoption?

1. You can own a fraction of a Bitcoin, why do people get confused about that? 2. It’s borderleas, universal, anyone can use it. 3. Can basically send money instantly instead of waiting the how many days for banks. 4. Always send a small test payment. Even send in fractions if you want. 5. AND MOST IMPORTANT 5. YOU DONT OWN BITCOIN IF ITS ON AN EXCHANGE. That exchange goes down, they can claim your bitcoin. GET A WALLET. Ps. Don’t put your seed phrase anywhere on technology. Ever.

Yeah agreed It's pretty telling when someone like Robinhood is even still allowed to operate despite getting hit with $50M+ in fines in 2020 and 2021 2 separate times for misleading investors and erroneous margin calls on 100,000s of customers. pay your fine, take your FINRA disclosure, and keep stealing people's money is their MO. They were accused of and paid the fines for the below once in 2020 and again for the same crimes in 2021. From FINRA they are in trouble because because they... NEGLIGENTLY COMMUNICATED FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION TO ITS CUSTOMERS INCLUDING THAT THE FIRM NEGLIGENTLY MISREPRESENTED TO CERTAIN CUSTOMERS THAT CERTAIN ACCOUNTS WERE NOT MARGIN-ENABLED, FALSELY TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THEY COULD DISABLE MARGIN, AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE CASH BALANCES AND BUYING POWER CALCULATIONS TO CUSTOMERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRM NEGLIGENTLY MISREPRESENTED THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CERTAIN OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS AND THE ACTIONS THE FIRM WOULD TAKE WITH THOSE POSITIONS ON ITS CUSTOMERS' BEHALF. FURTHER, THE FIRM ISSUED ERRONEOUS MARGIN CALLS AND MARGIN CALL WARNINGS TO OVER 100,000 CUSTOMERS AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS. IN ADDITION, THE FIRM MADE FALSE AND MISLEADING CLAIMS TO MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS IN PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS FOR ITS "CHECKING & SAVINGS" PROGRAM, AND NEGLIGENTLY MADE MISSTATEMENTS TO MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS IN PROMOTING ITS "FREE STOCK" PROGRAM. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THESE VIOLATIONS OCCURRED, AT LEAST IN PART, BECAUSE THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM, AND FAILED TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND ENFORCE WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES (WSPS), THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA RULES. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO EXERCISE REASONABLE DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE APPROVING CUSTOMERS TO TRADE OPTIONS. ALTHOUGH THE FIRM'S WSPS ASSIGNED REGISTERED OPTIONS PRINCIPALS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF APPROVING ACCOUNTS FOR OPTIONS TRADING, THE FIRM, IN PRACTICE, RELIED ON COMPUTER ALGORITHMS WITH ONLY LIMITED OVERSIGHT BY FIRM PRINCIPALS. THIS SYSTEM SUFFERED FROM A NUMBER OF FLAWS AND THE FIRM FAILED TO EXERCISE REASONABLE DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE APPROVING THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WHO DID NOT SATISFY THE FIRM'S ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA OR WHOSE ACCOUNTS CONTAINED RED FLAGS THAT OPTIONS TRADING MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. https://brokercheck.finra.org/firm/summary/165998

Instead, ask why I responded this way. Because every time someone who is "obviously" guilty this question comes up. Which essentially boils down to: LET'S THROW OUT THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS BILL OF RIGHTS. Don't even entertain that populist nonsense with a leading clickbait title. If haven't noticed, we had an attempted coup in 21, the Republican Party has a dominant group now called the sedition caucus, and the weakening of the roots of our rule of law and our democracy are plain to see. So, no, I won't chill. And people shouldn't be asking why someone yet convicted of a crime is free doing what they want. They should know. Because if you're reading this, you should already know about our rule of law, our constitution, and our bill of rights.

Most people seem to forget or not know at all that before, crypto.com was Monaco and did an ICO for the MCO token. Then they bought the crypto.com domain and issued a new token, the CRO, and converted the 30 million supply to the new token with 30 billion supply, effectively x1000 the total supply but only offering something like 32:1 swap for people to convert their MCO to CRO. RIPPING OFF ALL OF ITS PREVIOUS ICO INVESTORS. They might have been legit going forward (without mentioning all the screw-ups and the reduced staking shenanigans), but I could never trust an exchange that started off screwing its entire investor base. You just know that they would do it again if ever they needed to, and there's just too many risks already in this space to trust them again.

If you want to do with your Money whatever you want; you should hord it in a Wallet and Not give the Keys away of your Empire or even think your assets rely on Banks anyway... Banks exist as an Exchange Institution because of transportation Costs.. and individiuals envy furthered or restrained due cyclical Formations of monetary Policy and their time lags... Similar Like building a House; one Pays the Fundament First and Then buys supply or hires for Services... ITS a transportation Costs, which ist affected by Capital circulation and individiuals creative Destruktion.

Are you a dumbass? You go use underground and shady services and then come crying on random posts ITS A SCAM . Throughout my 7 years of trading and followong crypto, Ive never been scammed once like you said. Maybe because I know what I am doing?

To many blinded by the "russia bad" narrative to even discuss this it seems lol Most people whos here got some crypto and could earn on massive countries like russia start using it, but since they gone to war like literally most countries in the world have the last few 100s of years ITS BAD. I dont give a shit who use crypto, if its people i hate, or its north korea, or its usa, its a fuking currency i earn/lose money on, i preffer it being a earn and not a loss, so i dont give a shit if your narrative wont alow you to say its a good thing, as russia dont care, i dont care, most whos actually in this to earn cash dont care.

Now the average FIAT company always wants to be 100 % in debt and levered up, to try to beat earnings by a penny this quarter, but those guys are in a different business, and I would have hoped Bitcoin companies would be a LITTLE different, especially since they mine a resource that EVERY FOUR YEARS LIKE CLOCKWORK loses NINETY PERCENT OF ITS VALUE. I mean, seriously, did these morons somehow think they were in the last cycle, and now its strait to the moon, baby ? I get it if some 19 yr old thinks crypto is like that, but someone with a 10 BILLION dollar operation should think a little harder about how this asset trades. This is a business that NEEDS stored up fiat, because it will with almost 100 % likelihood have the asset trade below the cost of mining it, at least for a year or two, every four years, so the business needs to be able to run in the red for at least that long. Going bankrupt and losing all your equity and Bitcoin every four years is not a long term sustainable model, and I hoped there was at least one adult at this place that could have looked out a few years and seen this.

Dividing the pizza into slices isn't the only variable. Its the effectiveness of the pizza. If you need 1 whole pizza to satisfy your hunger compared to only needing 1/10 of the pizza to satisfy your hunger. That's the comparison. You are not adding more pizza. You are saying that each slice of pizza (however you divide it) will satisfy you the same as when you were a bigger person. The "efficiency" of the pizza slice goes further than it before. You are not creating more pizza. However, if the smallest unit of measure for the pizza was called a slice, and you kept dividing the pizza over and over and over and still the smallest unit was called a slice, you could have 10 slices, 1 million slices, 21 quadrillion slices. It would still equal the 1 pizza when put back together. I get that. I'm comparing it to bitcoin and its value. 1 pizza and how much i need to fill my belly. Nevermind....this pizza conversation isn't getting to my question. That's obviously been answered by the bitcoin community as "KEEP DIVIDING BITCOIN. ITS SUPPLY IS FINITE, BUT ITS INFINITELY DIVISIBLE". Question Answered. Thank you.

If the Bank of International Settlements is advising banks to hold 2% of their balance sheets in BTC, it doesn’t take a genius to understand the fact that they intend to settle using BTC moving forward. And the fact that it’s legal tender in 2 separate nation states quite literally means it’s a viable settlement layer for said nation states. Citizens are able to settle tax payments to the state. Other nations can trade using BTC. Your argument is “HOMIE ITS NOT ENOUGH BECAUSE THOSE NATIONS ARE SMALL, ONLY THE NATIONS I DECLARE AS BIG ENOUGH AND RICH ARE ALLOWED TO BE MENTIONED!!!” Or “HOMIEEEEE BTC IS ALLOWED BUT ETH ISNT SO IM JUST GOING TO ACT LIKE ITS USELESS TO ME!!!”

That's effectively the same thing first of all. If they can't cash out the bitcoin, and as I stated in my OP you can't use it for groceries or gas then what fuck all good is it then? Truly if they can't cash it out but can still send and receive it what are they supposed to actually do? The problem inherited in this transaction is that Bitcoin still needs the banks to work. And to answer your previous reply, yes I'm obviously versed and well aware what crypto is. I've simply been racking my brain trying to answer the fundamentals behind such a speculative market as well as get answers from the community but all I got was "HURR WHAT ABOUT THE USD THO" and "B B BUT ITS PRIVATE!!" No one answered any of my questions in any competent fashion. Hell, half the replies to why bitcoin has value was "bitcoin has value because people give it that value" which is insane and unstainable. Whatever man, enjoy it ig

Be prepared to lose EVERY cent you invest in Bitcoin or ANY other crypto, even if it’s tied 1:1 in value with the US dollar and just relies on the underlying blockchain technology. The fall of one company can bring down many others around it. I read about the collapse of FTX and thought, wow that sucks for their customers. A week later I find out my own investment account has frozen withdrawals. ITS ALL CONNECTED. Don’t underestimate this.

If the institutions lost money and retail also lost money in this bear market, then where did all the money go? The correct answer is, ITS LOST.... might be in the woods, might be under the ocean, could be in space.. But with out google maps or a compass to find its way back, its all just lost.

Madoff built its Primex and the world's four largest firms came. Why? In the biggest trading coup of 1999, two poor boys from Brooklyn found a way to legitimize how a firm can retain its own order flow in the coming decimal pricing environment. One of the six original firms whose experimental price quotations in 1971 on a computer network gave birth to the Nasdaq Stock Market, no market maker has been more innovative or has dared to try more new things than Bernard L. Madoff & Co. This catalyst of trading change is run by Bernie, EQUITIES Achiever of 1989, and his brother Peter, who is a computerized trading whiz. Assisted by over 30 family members among over 200 employees, the firm has been profitable every year for 38 years and the firm's capital is now well over $250 million. While Madoff was big early in Nasdaq, the firm almost totally withdrew to concentrate on lucrative Third Market trading of 650 of the largest caps on the NYSE off the exchange floor. Quickly the firm learned it had to give print protection to customers because the NYSE does it. Not so on Nasdaq so orders are not always executed there. Recently Madoff returned to the Nasdaq market, now ranking 8th in the wholesale category. (See page 26.) In a few short years, its Nasdaq business soared from zero to 25% as it pioneered price improvement and limit order protection for 200 of Nasdaq's largest caps. Now Madoff's Primex electronic trading platform could have a dramatic impact of both NYSE and Nasdaq, not to mention the other global markets. But first a little background. Awhile ago Big Board Chairman Richard Grasso scored a triumph when some huge brokers brought back much of their trading in NYSE stocks back from the regional stock exchanges. However, laughs Bernie Madoff, "The news of the death of off NYSE stock trading was premature." A very bright man, Madoff is successful because he knows what makes Wall Streeters tick and caters to their basic need. It is the battle to get or keep order flow-the lifeblood of a brokerage business. The giant brokerage firms take an attitude about a customer's order that this is their business and they want to execute it where it is most efficient and profitable for them. They want to cut out middlemen who are not their middlemen. Some bought exchange specialists or put up special super NYSE booths, but Madoff dismisses such efforts as mere "Band-Aids." The SEC would like to see the abolition or at least liberalization of NYSE Rule 390 which in the name of preventing market fragmentation, but severely limits how member firms can trade NYSE stocks off the exchange floor. "NYSE is very creative and has been delaying the inevitable-to allow their exchange members to trade with their own order flow and not pass it through a franchise where the order may be crossed with a competing firm and you don't get both the buy and the sell sides of the commission," says Madoff. "These huge firms are willing to take risks to accommodate their order flow so there is liquidity to execute orders and also possible trading profits from it." Trends have caused some giant brokers to rethink their relationships with the NYSE. On line trading is forcing full service firms to lower their commissions. How do they offset this? One easy way is to invest capital in trading and control more of their order flow. So today firms don't care as much where they do trading so long as it is efficient and cheap. That is why four giant firms approached tiny Madoff when outsiders might expect it happened the other way around. Madoff itself was facing a troubling trend. World stock pricing is going decimal and making the old issue of seeking price improvement for your customers very complicated. Spreads, which can now be in pennies, will become tiny and possible prices more numerous. Technology is also improving so orders can be exposed more widely than ever before was possible. "We'd like to believe we were the first ones to do price improvement, certainly on Nasdaq but even in the listed environment where we had a limit order mechanism to expose our orders," says Madoff. "NYSE exposed them in the auction on the floor; the regionals on their's. We built a system that electronically changed our quote and reflects it though ITS thoughout the broad market and we did the same thing on Nasdaq. However, the way we do it now, you change your quote, hang it out there for 30 seconds and wait--no pray--for an interaction is not going to work in a decimal environment. Wondering how to upgrade his vulnerable capability before U.S. decimalization of quotes hits, Peter Madoff had the firm buy the electronic auction concept Primex from its inventor, who retained a small part. Then Peter began to redesign it to make it user-friendly. There was no plan to seek any partners. The goal was to develop it in America and then bring it worldwide. The system could make it possible to expose your order to an unlimited universe of as many possible buyers as are out there. The idea was Primex should be open not just to Madoff customers, or just the NYSE 500 broker dealers but to everybody who wanted to enter quotes. This would include market makers in options and down the road the public who could access Primex over the Internet. Suddenly as the Madoffs redesigned Primex, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch found out about it and joined the venture. Primex was a way for both to do price improvement in a decimal price environment and to make sure the order flow they internalize will be given the best possible process and competing exposure so they will be validated and not subject to conflict of interest charges. "Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch?" says Madoff. "Having them for initial partners was a dream for two little boys from Brooklyn." While pinching themselves to be sure they were awake, Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley also joined. Their partners were the four largest brokers in the world and together the five control about 60% of the U.S. order flow. Primex will trade NYSE as well as Nasdaq stocks. The plan is to get started in the USA and then expand it first to Europe, Latin America and then Asia. Preferably Primex will negotiate a way to use the primary markets NYSE and Nasdaq as vehicles if deals which make sense to the investors can he struck. Otherwise, regional exchanges should be happy to help or Primex could become an alternative market or ECN. Their famous partners removed the initial credibility concern. Whether trading on NYSE or Nasdaq, the four partners have a reputation for integrity and fairness in dealing with their customers. It will remain no matter where their orders flow, Primex could be the start of something big.

It’s not a bear market! It’s crypto in its full potential. ITS USELESS to the average person. How much more time? More development? More security does it need? Supposedly it’s already better than USD. Yet it’s as useless as a pile of dirt to the average person. So would waiting for more development to change anything. To make it clearer. Crypto isn’t wanted, needed, or is useful to the masses. It’s here. It’s now yet all it does is crash. The ONLY time it pumps is when it pyramid schemes. That is it.

so you just like KYC that much?? I will never understand why Eth chose to not go with the UTXO model. Literally everyone can see all your transactions with ETh is fucking terrible and now you can literally label your wallet as "HEY ITS ME WITH LIKE 1000 ETH COME ROB ME PLEASE, YOU KNOW MY NAME, HOW MUCH ETH I HAVE, AND EVERY TRANSACTION IVE EVER MADE!!!!!!"

What a nice load of bs... You speak about the future like its's KNOW 100% FOR SURE A NEW ATH ON ITS WAY. You speak about mystakes yet you learned nothing from your mystakes... When will you realise that the hype that led us to 69k is long come and will never come back for so ma.y obvious reasons it's not even worth to list them... Keing being exit liquidity for traders who ACTUALLY make money while you watch the train pass... It's so amazing that nobody gives a shit about BTC at 15k-16k and don't buy even after seeing an ATH at 69k. The huge players don't realise it's the best deal of their lifes but you with you 3000 satoshis know better than them... You are dona be financially free.

Maybe worry less about us minnows and more about the frigging billionaires who just don’t pay taxes because they know the ITS won’t fight them?
