It’s better than no headline at all isn’t it? Wouldn’t you rather them say they MAY, than nothing at all?

Generationhodl

Blablabla >> MAY << happen blablablabla Peak journalism.

It correlates to the old but relevant saying "Supply and Demand" there is demand for bitcoin but if some ore more or enough are lost the demand for bitcoin will be greater. So, stack now, the way things are looking we might only ever see like 10m bitcoin in the next 15 years cause theres so much going on and honestly ive lost like 10 seed phrases (luckily none of which had life's saving [at the time]). Anyway, less bitcoin means the cost of 1 will be so much greater. Dont worry about the scarcity or the fact it MAY all be gone someday, because it is meant as a bridge for us all to become FREE and to experience TRUE OWNERSHIP. A new coin will arise at the right time and everyone will be more self aware of what to do next.

Yoooo noid there are 4 year cycles in BTC that MAY have been broken with the fraudulent 2021 double top BUT the cycle still at play just read a mofo book

U.S. WHITE HOUSE SAYS GOLD RESERVES MAY BE USED TO PURCHASE BITCOIN. Oh sh't buckle up 📈🚀

Only a very extremely small amount of crypto has actual use. The rest is speculation. Even though BTC is still speculation, it is globally agreed as an investment class. The rest are just tradable assets that MAY have value later. IMHO, only BTC and platform coins/tokens have any real value. Sorry about your bags.

thupkt

There is still a very fat band of liquidity they MAY want to absorb down at 70K. Today felt good, but not good enough to get my mind off that possibility, so I am not buying all the way in at this point. If that means I get 90K entry instead of sub 75K, then that's my fault.

No offense to the redditor that MAY have typed that up, but boy does it appear fabricated or "artificial"...

Zero chance. Congress *MAY* approve a reserve of confiscated coins, but buying crypto with tax dollars is a no go with most of the fiscal hawks in the House.

MakeItMine2024

It’s only different until it’s not .. MARCH -MAY will be when we really see if it’s different this time … 2017 and 2021 you got a top in May followed by downward side trading followed by a second top in November

Ive been people since decemeber that alts start running MAY or JUNE, when everyone was so blinded with trump inauguration that oh now we mooon yaay i said no we dont and got shit talked for it :D

dylan6091

A blockchain is nothing but an insanely inefficient ledger. Depending on the protocol, that MAY come with the benefit of immutability and decentralization. But that limits potentially useful coins to Proof of Work coins, eliminating 99% of alts. Within that small remaining grouping, any non-Bitcoin token that runs on SHA-256 is also not immutable given that it can be 51% attacked with ease. Within the tiny remaining grouping, ask yourself if the project you're looking at *really* benefits from being immutable and decentralized. The vast majority do not. I honestly can't think of a non-monetary use-case for Blockchain, which leads us back to Bitcoin.

shogun4fun

Here are some facts. Currently, the reward for mining a total of 3.125 btc equals approximately 300k range usd. In 2036, the btc reward will be .390624 2040 it will be at .1953125 If you can hold for at least 15 years. .25 btc will not be easy to mine and COULD possibly be worth close to the 150k-300k range. If things stay the same. This is just my guess, but the reward issued and increased electricity and hardware upgrades are facts that can not be changed. Even covid Spanish flu more govt printing etc cannot change that fact. So owning .25 btc will be more difficult to obtain in the future and imo more valuable than fiat. I personally believe btc will outpace fiat. So if you can stomach the volatility and hold for some time, you MAY be rewarded.

Charming-Designer944

Bitcoin MAY go down entirely if there is a technical flaw found in the system or if quantum computing works out at scale before Bitcoin has time to adapt. The economy at large MAY enter a depression, which will hit Bitcoin very very hard compared to the other stock market related assets. Going all in on any asset is a gambling statement. Only do so if you can accept the risk involved. Bitcoin is for good reasons not considered a safe asset, but also have one of the largest potential upsides with a high probability.

Charming-Designer944

You have to be realistic. Bitcoin is very volatile, and especially in the current state of things. To go wholehearted into bitcoin you need to understand that the value MAY drop 50% from the value today in the next year. It MAY also go up 250%. No one knowsfir sure. If loosing 50% of you assets is not your thing then you should diversity and not go all in on Bitcoin or other crypto assets, even if the possible upside is incredible. Keep sufficient invested in less volatile investments making sure you will not be in deep problems should things not go like expected. If you have a sufficient buffer and can live without the funds you are planning to invest for another 5+ years then for sure go all in on bitcoin. Maybe even set aside 15% for gambling on riding the wave or gambling on altcoins etc if you can accept even higher risks for a potential significant upside.

AllCapNoBrake

There MAY be a setting on the site that allows real-time updating, but I just have to refresh.

izdigohkz

That's speculations though. I still think we have a run coming. Likely before MAY. Now is just the good time to buy the dip because most people will FOMO into green candles later on. I'm buying the SUPRA dip. Still a great community and good products.

lostdream9000

My take is that some of the alts that have been around several cycles and still haven't ever claimed a top 10-20 spot MAY lag behind the performance of newer alts that have very fast networks out the gate. I would do a small amount of diversification where you figure out how much you want to put in alts. If it's four, then say, allocate 25% to each one. Pick them for different attributes so that it's a good mix. Pick one or two big names like solana, eth, xrp, bnb, etc. Maybe even pick an older project that hasn't quite popped yet this run. Then, pick a couple of newcomers that have grown to be popular. Almost everything will rise when alt season hits, but a few will 5-10x or more. If something is really lagging while other stuff pops, it can sometimes be viable to cut your losses on that one and drop it. You don't want to chase pumps, but you also don't want to sit in a decaying project for months on end just because of that rule, if that makes sense.

Soggy_Stargazer

THANK YOU SIR. MAY I HAVE ANOTHER! everyone is like awww op is sad about downvotes. Couldn't give a shit. More interested in whether sentiment is different now about the idea of BTC as a strategic reserve and what that means for valuation.. Can't tell if I am getting a legitimate answer or just trolls thinking I give a shit about karma.

leradiyovq

Altcoins are starting to pump again. I'm going to get it right this time. Loading up SUPRA and will sell off in MAY targeting what happen in 2021. The market repeat itself.

Individual_Refuse_30

Your skepticism is valid and reflects critical questions about Bitcoin’s role as an investment and store of value. BTC vs GOLD. Here's why bitcoin MAY BE better: \- scarcity and predictability (btc is capped while gold's supply is tied to it's extraction) \- portability and divisibility (btc can be transacted globally in seconds and divided into small fractions called satoshis, with gold it's not so easy obviously) \- digital utility (it kinda aligns with a world moving towards digitization) \- emerging adoption (it continues being recognized as an asset by institutions and NATIONS) While btc is not directly comparable to productive assets it serves it's purpose well as it's primarily a hedge against fiat debasement offering digital, deflationary, border-less alternative. if you really want to weight BTC against other assets the question for you should be "do you value diversification, censorship resistance and the potential for future adoption over traditional cash flow-generating investments?" only you can answer that question and it should guide you with your future decisions, really. Good luck mate.

SuccessAffectionate1

Everyone can be a genius in retrospect. But success is not an argument for the future. Using prior success as an argument is a fallacy of argument from authority. Turn the clock back to 2018 and it’s easy to see why someone would be against buying bitcoin while others were for it. Regardless. It’s at almost 100k. Congratulations to those that made that bet. You were right. But the price of bitcoin is not an argument for the utility of bitcoin in itself. Commodities can have inflated prices without having an underlying functionality. Important word here is CAN. Im not saying bitcoin does not, I am saying it MAY not. The future will tell where this is going. No one can he absolutely certain. Even the top 10 greatest investors of our time made bad calls, it happens to all of us.

VladStopStalking

The cognitive dissonance... * The first halving happened in **NOVEMBER** * The second halving happened in **JULY** * The third halving happened in **MAY** * The fourth halving happened in **APRIL** And yet you get people looking at patterns over different years, citing "the halving cycles" and comparing the same months of each year... Make up your mind, is there a cycle at each halving, or is there a cycle at each 4 years exactly?

Screamerouk

Always be paranoid when investing in anything. Investing especially in BTC is not for the faint hearted - humans are not programmed to be comfortable when parting with their cash and seeing it dip 40-50%. Most of the new members to this site who have FOMO'd will buy at the top and sell at the bottom. The volatility MAY reduce but not end. I mean we've seen 20%+ retracements in this bull, what makes us think we wont see larger retracements in a bear. There is a price to pay when investing in BTC since we are still early, and that is the emotional rollercoaster we endure day in day out.

tbkrida

Bro, what the fuck are you talking about naive child? Lmao Grow the fuck up and stop calling people names. I mentioned an event that actually did happen, and how it MAY HAVE affected the price of Bitcoin at the time. The entire essay, history of your life and the name calling are unnecessary and were never asked for. Have a good night!

azaxslo

Btc.d is falling if eth and btc can hold the line alts MAY pump a little. Still though stuff is not the same anymore big institutions are not putting their ETF’s into alts so thats shift is not happening. Retailers are the way to gain the momentum. Im back from all time lows also no moons anymore daaaaaamn

This is a topic that is very much written off by most people, but one I have thought about a lot. THIS will be an issue down the road. People won't take as much risk trying to steal your dollars, because they can always make more. People MAY take on added risk for your BTC, because they can't make more.

NiagaraBTC

Please don't give absolutely terrible advice to the kid. We MAY go back down to $58k but $30k is *very* unlikely.

Djinger

At the beginning of the Gold Paper: THE TOKENS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR U.S. PERSONS AND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE TOKENS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH ANY U.S. OR OTHER AUTHORITY AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES. Now how that butts up against "accredited investors" listed below that, and how it butts up against the later statement of "any token sale outside of the United States that all purchasers are non-US persons under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act." is less clear to me. I'm not saying Russia or Iran can be directly involved, but it certainly doesn't lead me to believe this is for US voters.

mfGLOVE

Joke’s on everyone else this time. > THE TOKENS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR U.S. PERSONS AND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE TOKENS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH ANY U.S. OR OTHER AUTHORITY AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES

>That's the issue, if a coin is hoarded by a small group of people, it's useless, it's not gonna be used in transactions between the rest of the world, so therefore, there's no value in it It does not need to be used in transactions to be valuable. If there are a handful of people like Saylor, Bukele, myself, and other Bitcoin maximalist trying to acquire and hold Bitcoin, then the market price--at least the ask price is going to go VERY VERY high. This whole "there is no value" BECAUSE there is negligible transactions is just pure ass-headed economic ignorance. You have no basis to support this. In fact, we see the opposite (see Gresham's Law). You are like a monkey that looks at currency and sees people transacting with it and you conclude that it must be valuable because people are transacting in it. This is kindergarten level thinking and confuses cause and effect. Bitcoin, as well as ALL money, is valuable because people demand it as savings on their balance sheet. As an ancillary consequence of having value, it MAY be used in transactions IF there are not more other inferior monies that are demanded as savings. Why would anyone spend Bitcoin when they can spend US dollars instead? Save the good money, spend the bad money (until you can't). **TRANSACTIONS DO NOT MAKE MONEY VALUABLE**

Sliderx7X

I'm not understanding why everyone thinks we have started the real bull run. We have several months if not longer before this happens. Just because the fed MAY lower rates tomorrow does not mean a massive bull run will take place immediately. If history repeats itself, as I expect, the real bull runs won't start until 520+ days after the halving. Could I be wrong, sure, and frankly hope I am. I want my return now just like everyone else but let's be patience.

Own_School_9945

Read what it says carefully. ... >another financial firm **MAY** agree to buy the firm's assets.... Also this: >The government also provides insurance, known as SIPC coverage, on up to $500,000 of securities. So everything above 500k is lost.

HerbHandsBill

I trust the S&P 500 index and I trust bitcoin, I have a significant amount of money invested in each, but I have accumulated this wealth without taking foolish unnecessary risks, I am doing it the way that is most likely to lead to success and that’s without debt and leverage. You are risking too much, you may continue to be lucky and be fine good for you if you do, but, you MAY NOT be too and that will be financially and emotionally devastating to you. I don’t want anyone to think what you are doing is a good path to take when doing this without leverage is the far superior path. Using leverage to chase wealth has ruined far more lives than it has helped! Maybe you will have more than me someday, but I sleep well knowing I am not at risk of losing everything as I build my wealth.

GeneralZaroff1

Apply to open nfc access which MAY open up developers to use it for USDC, you mean. It really depends on the platforms and who will accept it.

paddyo99

I believe there will still be cap gains and potentially regular income tax however only on BTC to USD conversions or speculative trades. If you are buying BTC and spending BTC you MAY be exempt from taxation, just like if you buy YEN and purchase something in yen in Japan there is no tax. Will be interesting.

bologna_tomahawk

Fired up to the max? There MAY be a rate cut next month, I would imagine no more than 50bps. No way they will be back to 2.5% by February 2025

Mordan

> Russia/Brics is hellbent on creating their own worthless fiat CBDC. Its true because China does not like Bitcoin. Mining Bitcoin is banned in China. And China is the BRICs super power. Bitcoin is not liked in power circles because it challenges their power. India. Russia. USA. Same thing. Bitcoin MAY become. But you will need a generation of old people who did not grow up with computers to die off.

SavingsPurpose7662

Oof good effort. But you can scream into the void all you want, you're still categorically wrong. The OP laid out facts and I refuted those facts. You're taking a lot of liberties with interpreting those events to try and salvage your stupidity but as valiant as it was, your efforts are in vain. Everyone else in this sub was able to understand that the DJIA number was refuting OP's facts - everyone but you. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but if you try and be less dense in the future, that MAY happen less often. The operative word being "MAY" because your ignorance is considerable :/

dasmonty

I am german, and I read the german paragraph written from german people for german people my friend. It originally say it MAY be sold. not HAS TO BE sold. Also there is not a rule of 10% in it what you told.

jawni

Just seems kind of insignificant without knowing the volume and when the most popular coin changes so often. BTC was the highest in MAR + APR, then USDC was the highest in MAY, then XMR in JUN. Lacks too much context to really take anything away that we don't already know, which is that BTC is really popular in general and XMR/USDC is popular with payments.

Alerion23

The only thing I didn’t account for in my comment are the liquidations that will happen for people in leverage. I still think that there is enough liquidity in the market to handle this sell off. For a coin just to lose 10% of its value just because someone MAY sell 8 billions worth of it is bad

TheManIWas5YearsAgo

Your mentor did you a disservice if he didn't teach you that you are gambling. Charts and graphs show you what MAY happen not what has to happen. Alot of traders go broke thinking they knew what had to happen.

njamimaranga

$73,000 is the next stop on the resistance side . It was necessary that we should crash to a new low since the BTC halving (April 19)to loose any remaining weak foot plus liquidate long positions for ALTS . There has never been any perfect time to buy any ALT coin rather than NOW . It is 57 days since the BTC halving . And we've had considerable time of consolidation. The Change of the FALLING WEDGE pattern (MAY 14 ) to bullish Pennant Flag . The market sentiment is bullish, dips and dumps are bullish, CPI rates is good, inflation has eased , Bitcoin halving is MAJOR, FED rates unchanged ,FED says Crypto is good to go ,Trump says Crypto to the moon . Btc ETF are market drivers ,ETH ETF is in the making . The market is good . Bullish 10 over 10. Who are we to say No ? The dips and dumps are discounts and giveaways. BTC to $192,000 AR to $120. WIF to $10 BOME to $0.1 Never been so optimistic in my life . Life is sweet and sweeter with Crypto.

intergalactic_dog

Yes, most believed there would be no eth etf THIS MAY. But he said something else: He clearly said NEVER. And that was dumb propaganda from the beginning. The only question for people who had any clue of the mater, was if this had to be draged through the courts, to waste some more time and money, or if we could come here directly.

IndubitablePrognosis

Remember, if Bitcoin reaches a million dollars, a million dollars won't buy much.  Not long ago, a millionaire was someone very wealthy. Now it's someone who can afford a house.  In 20 years it might be a car.  Bitcoin MAY be the best way to save against the devaluation of fiat currency, or it may not.  But even if it is, that doesn't mean your purchasing power becomes exponentially greater.

tianavitoli

it's kinda funny how many people blast TA as being unable to predict the future, and then going ahead with predicting the damn future. we're range bound. that is the status quo until market participants choose the next direction. historically, the month of MAY, in an election year, has been positive. no speculation required. if one would like to that: only the **pump** is real

Trilzerobyte

You seem confused about the difference between wallet and address. A "wallet" is actually a whole bunch of addresses controlled by the same application. Modern Hierarchical Deterministic wallets (most software use these) can generate billions of addresses from a seed (represented by the 12 or 24 words you write down to back up the whole wallet). If you are sending from one address to another in the same wallet (unnecessary, and costs fees), it will look like the coins disappear for a while, then reappear after they are confirmed, especially if your wallet isn't seeing the transaction while it's pending confirmation. Another thing is understanding UTXOs (Unspent Transaction Outputs). A wallet shows you a "balance" of all your addresses, or a total in each address, but none of these are how it works on the blockchain. Each actual payment creates an output, which can be spent separately, and MUST be spent entirely or not at all. So if you had one output and sent part of that amount, the wallet may have needed to split it by sending some amount to your destination, and the remainder would be sent back to you as "change" - usually to a different address for privacy reasons - but would always be to an address in the same wallet. While the transaction is unconfirmed, the wallet MAY show the change as gone, and then back again when confirmed. This is normal. Again as someone said, it depends which wallet software. Also, the mempool is pretty congested so if you send with too low of a fee, your transaction won't be confirmed for a long time, or maybe ever. If its really low, it may not even appear in any other node's mempool (because they have a limited RAM for unconfirmed transactions, they discard the ones with the lowest fee first). If you are receiving significant amounts unexpectedly it's possible you and someone else generated a wallet from the same seed, which is usually a bug or a mistake, not likely to happen if your software correctly generated the seed at random. Make sure you didn't form the wallet by entering seed words from a video or tutorial?

>No, it's the counterpoint to the "vaccines should never be challenged" narrative. That was never the narrative. Every drug is literally challenged before being available to the public. Even after so many decades, there is no proof that vaccines cause Autism, or are in any significant way dangerous. Honestly I can understand the scepticism for the covid vaccine. It's the first time we used the mrna vaccine, but even this one was thouroughly tested before being administered. And a whole lot of people have had atleast one dose, and there is nothing suggesting it was harmful. >What will you say about Nord stream? Are you alleging the US blew that up? >What will you say about Nord stream? Or that they are forcing people to the front lines and firing at those who are retreating? I'm sorry, who's forcing who to the front lines and firing at those who are retreating? The nord stream MAY very well be blown up by the US or Ukraine, but that happened after Russia attacked it. >What will you say about Nord stream? Or that they are forcing people to the front lines and firing at those who are retreating? Or that soft power projection can be construed as an attack? >Latvia, Estonia In what way are Latvia and Estonia a counter argument? Maybe I'm forgetting the time when Russia had a good reputation among it's neighbours. Would be quite a shocker considering how they were occupied by the Soviet Union for decades prior. And Nato is a defence pact, not an attack pact. You are literally repeating Russian propaganda and expect people to listen to you lol. >This is entirely false. We both know this I often wonder if anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and idiots in general had a meeting just after covid in which they seemingly concluded that the covid vaccine (and apparently all vaccines in general) were a bold faced lie. Because it sure does seem like that. We eradicated various diseases, large portion of the population have taken various vaccines including the covid vaccine (after which they were supposed to fall dead 2 years ago, still waiting btw) and countless studies have been conducted on vaccines in the pas few decades, yet apparently all this is entirely false.

swift_trout

I get what he is saying. But the error I see is his argument confuses INVESTMENT with RESERVE HOLDING. Real Estate MAY be a good investment but it is risky to think of it as a reserve holding. Without judging in anyway the VIABILITY of it as an asset, like ANY ASSET (including Bitcoin) depending on its ability to PRODUCE revenue from which cost of ownership/operation can be deducted to accrue profit and a return on one’s investment, real estate MAY be a good investment. However as a reserve asset real estate is not a good investment for many of the reasons this young man points out. Bitcoin is in my estimation a far better and probably best choice for a personal reserve asset right now. I own reserves. Bitcoin. I don’t sell reserves. That would be counter to their purpose and in my estimation, foolish.

Traditional-Fan-9315

I am the CEO of bitcoin and I did not say this. I said we MAY not reduce prices. Will have to see what happens to the flux capacitors first.

Ramdom_c-137

Predictable outcome, Bitcoin MAY reach an ATH on the halving, it probably wont though. Then immediately a crash will follow. 12-18 months from now you'll see an even bigger ATH

MysteryLiezer

I’m glad you were able to justify it! Personally, tipping people simply isn’t worth my time or the effort with lightning, or my sats in the form of transaction fees on the base layer. All I was saying, before, is that the guy has a point: lightning ISN’T being adopted in a way where the public can consider Bitcoin fast, ESPECIALLY when, like he said, we struggle with even getting these people to believe in Bitcoin in the first place. Believing that it isn’t worth exploring different later 2 solutions that MAY work better than lightning (not just for ease of use to the people who already believe, but for ease of adoption to the people who just don’t quite get it yet) is what’s currently standing in the way of this top 10 asset in the world being even SLIGHTLY recognized as legitimate by the (over) 95% of people living in it who couldn’t care less about it…

OwnPersonalSatan

I don’t understand why you don’t understand it. But here lemme give you a quickie while I finish my poop 💩, currently we’re mining 6.25 btc per block. When a miner solves the complicated math puzzle they are awarded the block + all the fees obtained from the block. On April 20th, the reward will be cut down to 3.125, and the math puzzles will increase in difficulty. This means that for miners to make their moneys worth they’ll need to sell bitcoin at a higher rate then they are. This also means bitcoin being introduced into the world will half what it is now. Before the ETF was approved hodlers (little guys like you and me, some bigger guys too) were acclimating roughly 1100 btc a day from exchanges,and only 900 were being mined. AFTER the ETF got approved the amount of btc being bought up damn near 10X a day. Now instead of 900 bitcoins coming into the world a day there will only be 450 (roughly its not perfect), soooooooo, supply squeeze, demand squeeze, I will bet on it that the halving will 100% increase the price of bitcoin substantially. Like it has every time it’s happened. It MAY dip, and if you see it dip, buy up as much as you can because it won’t stay there for long I tell you, it never does. This isn’t my first rodeo. This isn’t financial advice, but only a fool wouldn’t listen.

olivietti

This is what we call a derivation path, you may have encountered written like: ormation or anything. Now BIP32 takes this main seed and can generate wallets under different accounts, and these wallets can have sub-wallets. This is what we call a derivatin path, you may have encountered written like: `m/44'/0'/0'/0/0` The meaning being: Because there have been multiple wallets over the years, some use different derivation paths, and all of them had their own reasons(good or bad). Now the problem is that you most likely are backing up Bitcoin, to use 10s of years in the future, and then there is NO guarantee, the new wallets will use the same derivation paths as the wallet you use to generate. So you may ask why is this a problem? Well because you have to guess which derivation path was used, which in some cases MAY not be practical, hence why you should ALWAYS write down the wallet you used to generate a seed and the year. &#x200B; This website(https://walletsrecovery.org/) tries to keep track of all the multiple derivation paths used by wallets over the years, I'm sure you can see why BIP39 now is a total mess. &#x200B; MrRGnome, is talking about this new standard, which you backup also the additional piece of information that will 100% guarantee you in the future you can spend the coins. Wallet descriptos look kinda weird, and they are quite big, however the tradeoff is that they are not that sensitive, you can store then even in plain site in your house. If someone finds them, they cant spend your coins without the seed, they can just tell how many coins you have. Hope this makes things clear :D

DeoVeritati

By definition, it isn't bullshit. If a person can make a material difference in their life TODAY by selling, don't shit on them for doing that even if it means they MAY be forgoing POTENTIAL gains in the future. Cultlike behavior I really do believe is a deterrent to the adoption/interest of bitcoin among most individuals... I sold a house in a growing market that has increased like 30% in 1 year. But I got a better but cheaper house, and I don't have to manage property out of state which makes my life substantially better.

BiTCOIN NOWADAYS will behave according to NORMAL Financial Cycles, not having a life of its own. So we MUST acknowledge that we are nearing the end of QUARTER 1. For traditional INVESTORS we are coming to an end of the 2024 Price Rally and will enter that Interval where Everyone (institutional and private investors) will Rebalance Their PORTFOLIOS and MOST LIKELY, given the strong surge in prices, will take PROFITS on the Gains of 2024. 31/3/2024 is also the end of the Fiscal Year in Japan , like 31 december for us. I suspect that nearing end of March and Beginning of MAY, there will be a lot of distribution (selling of assets) that will mark a TOP, and in MAY failure to rise further will increase selling that will trigger a CORRECTION until END JUNE/JULY. So, the eventual last WAVE UP before distribution, will be STRONG and SHORT LIVED (2 weeks time).How do we know? Looking at BITCOIN the last 2 tops lasted 1 month (April could be the time for it). If next 2 days, today included, the price closes above ALL TIME HIGHS of 2021, we most likely will see BUYING and my CHART says we have ROOM to 80,000 , if that breaks then 110,000 . Less likely but I leave it open because as I said we have until end of MARCH. However, most PERFORMANCE will be done by ALT COINs. Rather than buying BITCOIN here I would buy ALT COINS, especially those left behind. For 3% gain in Bitcoin an ALTCOIN will give you 12% gain. However BUYING with the knowledge that you must take Profits in April while the Top is in the BUILDING. ALSO Start looking for TAKE PROFITS on all YOUR CRYPTOS. Which you may Buy BACK in JULY. REMEMBER 2021: it did exactly that pattern I just described because it was the CRYPTO ADOPTION by FINANCE PROFESSIONALS. And what is feeding the price rise now is CERTAINLY NOT the early adopters BUT aggressive FINANCE PROFESSIONALS (Hedge Funds and Investment Banks) + since 2024 the small traditional investors via ETFS REMEMBER what I wrote end 2023? THIS is the last ADOPTION PHASE by the "masses". After this phase BTC will become a nirmal asset with normal performance. The potential TOP is 100,000 to 150,000. Obviously you will read everywhere wishful emotional analysis that we are going to 250,000. Stick to LOGIC, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS and FINANCIAL CYCLES. Extract from my analysis.

Bitcoin in a nutshell during a bull run: ITS GOING TO $1000000000000000 WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP BITCOIN MAY JJST REACH A NUMERICAL VALUE SCIENTISTS HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! !! Bitcoin in a nutshell during a bear market: WHATS HAPPENING WHY IT NO GO BRRRRRRRRRR MY LIFE IS RUINED

Nice! its a good start, but as an individual, you should also consider taking some Bitcoin into self-custody.. for just in case.. Just so you are aware, just like money in your bank account is not your money, its the banks, bitcoin in the ETF is not yours its the funds. What you have is a promissory note that they MAY give you the proceeds of your share in dirty fiat, whenever you decide to cash out, that is NOT the Bitcoin way.

FFMooch

Its starting to froth up. Not only on our side with the laser eyes and lambo/yacht/mansion talk. But the garbage coins are getting attention again, hyping up the better returns, small price bias and carnival barking promotion. It will be fun to sit back and watch this time around as opposed to being stressed about stacking. I MAY actually be smart this time around and use my past bull/bear experience to my advantage. Slow down the use of dry powder, enjoy the 18-24 months and then start dca'ing back in when the party ends.

I wonder where BTC holders are gonna unload their earnings before the great fall triggered by whales, the 1%, Hedge-funds, and raised Fed points… only to be topped off with a side of Bitcoin Halving. Let the games begin and MAY THE DOGIEST SURVIVE ✊

Duckgrad90

I have constantly followed BTC since 2017. You just buy……there may be dips…..but look at them as buying opportunity. Many have said it is on cycle and will be sell off before halving and I have argued for 6 months that this time MAY be different due to the ETFs and big money getting involved. You can’t time it…..so just buy and continue to buy….and be giddy if we get any major sell off and see as opportunity! Do not trust anyone saying that they know what BTC is going to do and when,….unless they say that long term, BTC only will go up! Best of luck…..and you can share your commodities experience with me as I have only done nat has and was 3 for 3……until this spring and getting my ass handed back to me with is being under $1.70!

Digibyte marines! DGB Digibyte BROKE OUT OF MAY 2021 downtrend!!!!!!!!!!!!

aw33com

I'm not wrong. Quite opposite actually. Bitcoin peaked Nov 2021, so did ETH. As a matter of a fact most coins peaked MAY 2021 and did not reach same highs in Nov. You see, I'm only trying to learn from you guys, but it's very hard. Charts are showing something else. Maybe it's manipulated.

So it is OK to say something will NEVER happen. Yet if someone says it MAY happen you need proof and timelines? Weird.

HopeMrPossum

What bank is this out of curiosity bro? My job is being the guy freezing ppl’s accounts in these sorts of situations, so I have some thoughts. TL;DR: Although they have every right to freeze your account and request evidence, IMO they’re overreaching, assuming guilt, their fraud processes suck and overall sound unprofessional as fuck. They do not seem to give a shit about you or your inconvenience which I fucking HATE. A few things - First your bank can ask these questions, it’s in your Ta&Cs unfortunately. Second, your bank seems pretty shit, hence why I’m interested in who it is. Giving a concrete 3-5 day timeframe with your account guaranteed locked up is… awful. Sounds like their fraud dept has their priorities backwards. They should operate assuming it’s a false positive and looking for evidence to support that, to avoid confirmation bias. When you see fraud all day every day you have to do things to stop yourself seeing fraud everywhere you look. In this case, the circumstantial evidence from your extensive crypto history on the account imo would be enough. Unfortunately they’re assuming you’re guilty so asking for this insanely intrusive evidence. Put it this way - if your account is as you say it is, no issues with an extended crypto transaction history to that destination, any good fraud investigator will be looking to get it unfrozen ASAP. They MAY be being told they have to get evidence - if so, they should be doing everything they can on that call to get the minimum evidence needed to clear concerns. Personally if I saw a colleague still pushing for evidence with a paper train of purchases like you describe, I’d think they’re a fucking moron. Other thing is - they don’t need to freeze your entire account balance, they could just freeze your withdrawal. It’s bizarre they’ve not done this, and if they can’t wtaf is your bank doing. Ultimately though, you’re not going to be in any trouble, they can’t do anything, don’t stress. You’ve a few options, you can completely refuse to cooperate and they’ll unfreeze your account. This could be a few days to a month at most. They’ll probably close it down though. The next is to refuse the wallet addresses/txn IDs, offer something else - like your deposit receipt, sale receipt, etc. This should be more than enough. Proof of purchase/ownership and proof of sale is more than enough evidence in relation to traditional investment assets. It should be here too. Frankly it’s fucked up to ask for your wallet addresses - maybe point out they aren’t allowed your entire account history if it’s at another bank. Yet they’re asking for that here which is fucking unacceptable. Lastly is to give them what they want, as I said above I think that’s pretty messed up though. I’d like to say they’d unfreeze your account then and there… but from the way your bank operates it’s going to be 3-5 days wait regardless.

> They did not really ban gold, just the Gold 1 ounce coins. Dude, the text of Executive Order 6102 **literally** starts with >all persons are required to deliver ON OR BEFORE MAY 1, 1933 all GOLD COIN, GOLD BULLION, AND GOLD CERTIFICATES now owned by them to a Federal Reserve Bank, branch or agency, or to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System. There was a $100 limit, meaning you could keep about 5oz, but it was all gold. Dealers were busted for having cigar boxes of scrap gold.

>My computer (MacBook Pro M1) does not have any malware installed on it...My iPhone was not compromised. This may or may not be true, but truthfully NOBODY can ever say that with any certainty. The best you can ever do is say that it doesn't have any *known* popular malware on it. On the dark web, the average price of an unknown unpatched Apple zero-day exploit is around €2.5 million (give or take based on things like type, severity, and complexity of the 0day vulnerability), which is 0.5 million cheaper than the average zeroday exploit for Android or Windows (cheaper mostly because Apple has a smaller global market share and most hacker groups want larger pools), . That's fewer than 60 BTC right now. So, imagine that some hacking or fraud group wants to rob people. They can buy an untapped exploit for fewer than 60 BTC, then as long as they can steal more than $2.5M worth of financial info (credit cards, identity info, crypto wallet info, etc) from people's computers, phones, or passwords to cloud accounts, or install enough other remote access or hidden keyloggers viewing the camera or screen to see what you type in, etc, and maybe bots, etc...they can make that back. 2.5Mill to buy an unknown zeroday exploit is not much money for large hacking groups that are confident they'll easily earn back more than that. One of the users here tracked the fraudster's Bitcoint Address to having accumulated 219 BTC already, so if they spent 60 or less to get an Apple zero-day exploit, they've already 3.6x'd their investment sitting on a $9Million dollar stash now, not counting any other BTC addresses they might have besides that one. My point is that it MAY be true that the vulnerability didn't come from your Computer or your iPhone, but the truth is that you don't know that for sure. There are TONS of zero day exploits out there for Apple (and Android and Windows) for bad actors to buy up no matter what people want you to believe. This is the main reason why people say to always keep it totally offline. There is no guarantee of safety with anything connected to the internet. Period. Not even with Apple. Not even with malware and virus detectors or firewalls. If you can't afford to lose it, go totally dark offline and leave it that way. If you want to keep checking how much it's worth now, just write down the amount you have and times that by the current price. When it comes to your Bitcoin stash, if you're going to self-custody it, you need to be paranoid and assume your stuff is potentially relatively compromised or could be. Don't save anything in the cloud, no pictures, setup failsafes (maybe various MFA and multi-sig).

I feel like a lot of us have had stories like this how long the last decade...I know I do... because no matter how smart we thought it was at the time or how many people hyped it up early on.. the majority of people do not have disposable income. A lot of us aren't as tech savvy enough to have figured out/trusted sourcing bitcoin one way or another back when it was just coming to fruition and even years after that.. there was no trusted exchange really and $50/$100/$1000 is a lot of money to most to gamble with on something that the odds of it (at that time) really paying off are so bad! The ones who did invest money early on have cashed out and then bought back in probably a dozen times and I will bet not one ever thought that it would be worth this much and may be not be as big as it has gotten... (idk about the last one because there are still people out there who think bitcoin will reach 1mill each...) tbh anything is possible though! PS. I randomly had this thought 5min. That what if in and around 2015 if I actually put a lot of my money into bitcoin like I was thinking of possibly doing where would I be financially now and at what point where would I have sold... and then I hear an alert go off and it's this post.... such a weird coincidence.. MAY BE ITS A SIGN!

GrouchyAd9824

I'd argue MSTR, COIN, mining stocks, etc. may suffer from the ETF because those were institutional investor's means for exposure to BTC through stocks. Now they have the ETF for this and they don't need the proxies. Mining stocks MAY survive because they have income through BTC, but I'm betting that's why those have taken a 50% drop this month.

brianddk

That's my understanding as well. A more interesting question (to me) would be stuff like BTC-LN to BTC and WETH to ETH, where you are simply "unwrapping" an asset instead of "exchanging" it. In the end, I guess if the exchange sends you a 1099 you have to pay taxes on it, and if they don't you MAY have to pay taxes on it. Yay USA!

brianddk

Few things to consider. 1. Logging into your exchange while overseas may cause problems 2. Re-entering the United States with cash or crypto MAY be seized

>Is this some kind of Lyn Alden marketing campaign? IT MAY WELL BE!!! That woman seems to be really good at marketing, if NOTHING ELSE. I have literally NEVER heard her say anything of any insight or profoundness, yet I hear like 1,000 people parrot her book up and down! It's on Twitter as well. Just, feels like she's good at marketing her book....but terrible at actually writing a good book. Just good at getting people to buy it. I ask people for ONE SINGLE THING from "Broken Money" which was profound or insightful, they can't give it to me. Ever.

one reason why this may have been good for crypto in general is because of its digital nature, one bridge later and ethereum defi could have been giving yield on petro dollars or whatever they were called. MAY COMPETENT STATES ARE DOING THUS RIGHT NOW. they are called CBDC's, they are bad for the general population but good at making 1984 come true.

Do you have $33,000 in Bitcoin equivalent in your account? The German account MAY show Euros. this is 9% less at the dollar exchange rate. Is this option suitable?

truckstop_sushi

"MAY HELP guard against" that's a legal qualifier shoehorned in there because their lawyers knew making a product claim without the "may" (maybe it will, maybe it won't) is asking for the FTC to fine you for making unsubstantiated Product Claims that they'd rather not have to argue in court to prove.

Take about 3-6 whole account blow outs and you may. MAY make 1-2% over the next ten years. Far better off with index funds

two things to think about and this is applicable to all exchanges... 1. Are you aware that when you send an exchange cash, it is no longer yours, but instead you have a credit with the exchange. If you use that cash to purchase Bitcoin same thing, you have purchased Bitcoin for them with their money. In fact eventhough you go thru the motions of bidding for the Bitcoin and executing an 'exchange' that is all theatre, there is no actual guarantee that the Bitcoin you think you just purchased, actually exists. All you have is a credit, a promise that sometime in the future should you want it, they MAY give you some of THEIR Bitcoin. Let that sink in. 2. If you go to an appliance store, or a hardware store, and by a dishwasher, or some nails after paying for it, do you tell the shop keeper, 'hold this for me, until some time in the future'. No likely not, its your property, you paid for it, you should take delivery immediately! Same goes for Bitcoin, if you don't transfer the Bitcoin to your private non-custodial wallet, then it is not your property, not your Bitcoin.

If the price of a thing in a year is xx% more than it is today - avoiding buying today means you will be out not only gains before today, but also potantial gains after today if you believe that a thing MAY go up then after more investigating YOU decide you believe in the project, or even dont care about the project, but feel its value MAY increase over time what would YOU do. Id start by not worrying about strangers tales on the internet. LIkely they have experienced pain and doubt. you dont know. long as you feed and home you and those relying on you - spend the cash on drugs. girls. boys. girlboys. boygirls. watermelons. melons. whatever.

I meant in terms of the tax form that you file so, for example, if you file a personal tax form, then it’s going to be asking you what you received and if you were filing for your business, then it’s going to ask you what your business received. Now, you MAY be able to find a way around it, I have been looking at it for a bit and I think I found the way. If you want msg me. I’m more than happy to talk more about this.

Ask yourself this question, if you have 1 millions to invest, will you put everything to bitcoin? Sure, bitcoin MAY 10x your investment, but it can also 1/10 in short time. On the other hand, putting 1 millions into safer stocks almost guarantee that you will not be hungry without working. Hence, at most they will put 1/10 or even 1/100 of their investment to crypto, portion that they don't mind to lose. It is different with us plebs, if we invest $1k to stocks, we only get 7% and it takes 30 years to become something meaningful. While putting to bitcoin can give us $100k in few years. Marks my word, most redditors will also take profit when they see 1 million in their bitcoin. They will start moving it to other safer asset (maybe just maintaining very small amount in crypto)

I agree with you that diverse fields bring loads of experience to individuals and allow them to have a different insight that may allow us to progress as a country better. Canadas PM does not have a diverse background. Born into a rich family, went to school to teach education, taught drama for a high school, got into the Liberal Party, less than a decade later is running a country. There have been corruption and ethics violations identified. The country is running at a massive deficit, individuals are taxed at exorbitant rates, the wealthiest families in Canada (Weston, Roger’s) have brought in record breaking profits. Sometimes I just think that if we had someone in power that had the foresight to understand and see what consequences decisions MAY have, it would be better. Managing and teaching a bunch of 16 year olds for 8 hours a day is extremely different than running a first world nation.

>Now if it’s a single sat the cost of production may end up being more than it’s worth "MAY"? It's pretty safe to assume the cost of manufacturing ANYTHING is greater than one satoshi (about 1/30 of one US cent). A single grain of rice costs about 2.5 satoshis.

One white paper DOES NOT CONTROL ALL OF CRYPTO. “Satoshi” is a fignent if your imagination. Crypto CANNOT survive without regulation. I do agree that buying early MAY lead to being ahead. But you have to be buying the correct tokens. There are over 25,000 tokens. You DO NOT have some kind of inside Information. You and I are just as blind as the rest of the market. Probably even more. Because there are people who are controlling Btc. They just don’t want you to know about it. Sbf admitted to manipulating the Btc using ftx. You think he’s the first person to do that? JPM banked MtGox in 2013. Then spoke badly about crypto for a decade. Now they have their own platform. NO ONE IS BEING TRUTHFUL. YOUR MONEY IS THEIR GOAL.

Really need watch that video. The manner in which it was carried out, with leverage was pretty safe. It was the collateral that made it all blow up.All through Genesis, a sister company of GBTC. I wouldn't touch it with a 3 foot pole after this. That said, a trust is set up different then a spot ETF, so a future spot ETF MAY work, but damn.

> A mortgage includes taxes and insurance, as part of it. It doesn't. Those amounts MAY be collected in tandem with loan payments, escrowed by the loan servicer and paid out as needed to third parties, but they're not part of the mortgage.
