The labor market is what is really putting pressure on the Fed to stop raising rates. Folks are going to start losing jobs. It's already starting. All that guy talked about is how a rate increase will effect the banks and the stock market.

Good time to get Crypto. FED system in a panic and not looking good. Reserve requirements are 0% here in USA and 1% in EU, lol. What a mess.

so it appears that the BTC absolute, nut-low bottom was put in 11/21/2022
I believe there will be 1-3 more good buying opportunities (corrections/pullbacks) before the halving. this bull cycle might just be the craziest yet with all the world's largest financial institutions lining up to play.

I'm not saying it just yet, but when the time comes, I'll be back again to say it 8-)

for your viewing pleasure. I won't be answering any questions btw. enjoy

I've mostly been in the blue chips, ChargePoint and SentinelOne

As far as Crypto, I sold all my coins. I just didn't think the risk-reward was worth it anymore plus the annoying tax forms. And I think you can still follow Crypto with stocks like Coinbase or even just the QQQ / NVDA.

I’m only in crypto. No stonks, etc. For me Crypto is of course a large part about the returns. You just can’t (consistently) get the same returns in stocks. But I’ve been in crypto since 2013 or so and a HUGE part of it for me is the side against the man. It puts the keys in your hand (which isn’t for everyone.) The cypher punks brought it and I won’t forget that. I can also spend it directly and through crypto credit cards.

And the fun, especially in a bull, is hard to compare to stocks (but I know you can get great returns in stonks too – I did so during the internet bubble and have friends who do so now and then.)

But, the opportunity for 100X and even 1000X is way more common in crypto. I got into the Pulsechain sacrifice (IDO/ICO essentially). I’m not up huge (yet) but when you get the opportunity to get into a L1 blockchain (that is truly decentralized and not controlled by VC’s like Polygon/Matic, Metis, Optimism, Arbitrum, Binance Smart Chain and on and on, you take it!

Some other higher risk plays I’m in (mostly from Patreon services include (keep an eye on these): AGIX, XYO, SDAO, VAI, HEX, VVS, HELLO and LFG. I particularly like the first 3 as I think AI plays are going to go boom next run, bigtime.

To get a 100X to 1000X you usually need to get in during the 1st cycle, meaning if the coin has been around a long time (a few bull cycles) it probably won’t rocket the same. AI, Gaming and Defi will probably be the larger plays.

Edit - and this movie is coming out on Aug 4th. Going to bring A LOT of attention to Pulsechain, HEX and Richard Heart‘s ecosystem. Btw, the guy WAS a gorilla marketer, showman, pompous, etc. But it‘s just a show. He‘s a billionaire for a reason and wants to be remembered for making millionaires. The documentary/film will not be kind to him, mixed I‘m guessing, just like him.

The banks, via Gary, tried Fukking the space but it looks like they just (aka - they lost the XRP lawsuit) SET IT FREE!
FU Gary!



Ps - I loaded up within days of the bottom (was 30% in cash then). TA of cycles help. Literally 4 years to the day.

Good morning Smart people,

A little new to this but Coinbase is still saying it doesn't support XRP, I thought they opened the trading for it.

Are there alternatives?

Back when I started at my current job, there was a physical cryto shop on Broad st right next to the NYSE. IDK if they sold stuff there, but I wish I would have just taken the time to buy some instead of constantly pushing it off. Who knew so many ppl would think "to the moon" with this stuff.

People are greedy by nature and are willing to engage in unscrupulous acts unless guardrails are put in place. Without proper regulations, it was doomed from the start.

Yeah brother, I think the news of the US Fed pushing their own digital currency got people worried about them shutting down USD when they see fit. So they want BTC (so they still have a 24/7 currency they can fall back on).

Paranoid? Maybe lol. But it looks like it pushed the price of BTC up nonetheless. I thought BTC was doomed in 2022. But here it is back at 30k. And it's been holding strong for a while now. I swear, any news of the SEC or governments "laying the hammer" on BTC is just bullish.

I hope no investors get hurt this time. It’ll be interesting to see how the Fed proceeds on this. I’m still very skeptical.
