It’s certainly looking that way. What’s your biggest concern, if any?

The #1 problem facing the space is the scams and rugpulls. It's the wild fuqin west out there!
People tend to leap without looking and end up getting really wrecked (rekt in crypto slang) financially.
I think everyone serious about the tech is looking for regulatory guidance. It's a fallacy that we don't.

I won't lie, the learning curve is a bit high.
I wish I could find one source to learn what you need to get started so I can share with people,
but I haven't found one. I haven't really looked for one in a while either though :shrug:

I am bullish for the time being but obviously not as bullish as I was late 2020 and beginning of 2021.

Appreciate the update fam.

Didn't Biden just sign a crypto bill into law? I only heard the headline but figured you folks would be on top of it.

These "Crypto Laws" usually mean nothing and I don't even read into them much.

I remember him talking about wanting to do more about crypto. I have been away from the news for a while.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look more into it. Usually these first steps lead to more regulation and taxes, so we'll see how far it goes.

May need to stick to old school ETFing from now on.

Precisely. The gov is just looking for a way to profit from you, knowing now that there's money to be made here. But they have no jurisdiction over overseas cefi/defi like hodlnaut or midas investments (offering 20% on stablecoin) to name two. So they resort to scare tactics that will work on the majority of investors sadly.

correct. savvy crypto investors who know how to use the "brokerages" that the US has no jurisdiction over will be fine.

but for the average crypto investor, they'll be scared, pull out, which will hurt the price of crypto.

more government control = less money to be made by the average person, historically

I started trading crypto. I CAN MAKE YOU ALL RICH, if you fans been good boys and girls so far this year. :D

According to that big giant fish in the ocean, bitcoin and the other altcoins are about to nosedive and a major bear market is about to start. You will see evidence at the end of the month and in May. So be happy, knicks fans. I let you know a major bear market is about to start. The question is, should I let you fans know when the $$$BULL MARKET$$$ is about to start again??? :wink: 8-)

This is my favorite guy. Old school type investor.



Historically speaking, our government gives us not a single shed of hope that they'd do it the right way, but there's a first time for everything.
