Got a feeling we'll see a correction across the crypto space following the halving in April. Sell the news event.

Long-term outlook still remains bullish.

Anything is possible...

But from 'darkness to light' is the masons way. For this basic reason and others I wouldn't be shocked some major 'good news' events, and bullish fireworks in the markets around and moreso following this solar eclipse. We'll see? Not sure what the 'news' will be but pretty damn sure they will be lighting it all up beyond the average persons comprehension at some point very soon, makes perfect sense they use this timing as their greater starting line.

Also perfect timing to end to the public programming ritual used to create fear & uncertainty at the bottom. Unreal. Some say to make money in certain areas of the markets you have to think like the criminals. True. Just not the criminals they give us in our mainstream programming, but the ones that control the mind control platforms and influencers.

What do I know? As always follow your own gut.


Long Weekend Update:

$BTCUSD start of thread: 16,767.64

$BTCUSD current: 70,768.04

Unfortunately no near term event will be saving the Raptors from darkness the franchise has entered.

Reminds me of that old show 'Heroes'. Plus show her face.

Also, yeah, the air coins dumped hard last night. While people slept. But they were pumped even harder YTD.

Maybe they were rotating into gold, which was UP, until the JPM traders got to work and instantly pretended people were selling physical gold to fund margin calls that wouldn't arrive for hours. Ever try selling physical gold AND getting your money for it in less then a week? Now if the story was they were dumping Fake Paper gold for margin calls, and it was happening near the close of the markets, then I might buy it. But since this goof ass story only gets perpetuated in America when markets crash, while the rest of the world gladly buys more, I just have to look at it as the usual market manipulation games. They play them HARD in America.

8% drop in bitcoin today. The others fared worse.

BTC current price is the same as March 2021, 3.5 years ago. The easy money has been made.

It’ll peak in value in 2025 for this cycle like it always does at the end of every 4 years. Probably around $120-150k US.

Wouldn't be shocked if we go quite a bit higher then that? But ya,Id have to agree with the symmetry to past cycles. Could be shaping up to probably peak into euphoria early to mid 2025? So much value to change lives still lingering in the markets.

Just like the initial creation of this thread, whenever it gets bumped in a pull back one probably shoulda been buying...

As always, follow you own reads to financial prosperity.

The easiest money in the greater crypto sector is still being accumulated not far off its cyclic bottom right now IMO. When it finally goes off, that will truly be the easiest money, moreso given the lengthy accumulation periods.

And being real the hardest money was made by anyone that could sniff out the BS and buy BTC around $17K when the powers that be were pumping fear porn thru the airwaves.

Will this cycle be left leaning? I expect a top in the 2nd half of 2025, but who knows I’m not clairvoyant.

I can’t see higher than 160k usd at the peak this time. That’s about 10x from the bottom. 2021 was about 20x from the bottom, 2017 was about 100x from the bottom and 2013 was about 1000x from the bottom. Been through all of them and each one yielded diminishing returns. Still a great return in 4 years.

Money is controlled by the same league that both parties play in. Doesn't matter what left or right sock puppet they throw out there, but they easily convince many otherwise.

I just expect the top to be extra euphonic given the lower rate push coming and the fact the powers that be are bringing crypto into the mainstream with a bigger go signal coming from the financial conduits of the greater mafia, like Blackrock. I could never put an exact number on that type of what that peak euphoria could end up? But 100-200K would be minimum, 1M would be an insane top area, but wouldn't even shock me in the least if they took it there.

I felt the hit too during the crypto crash—especially with some smaller altcoins I was experimenting with. But I’ve kept holding onto SOL, and honestly, I’m still hopeful about its long-term potential. After the crash, I started using tools to be smarter about how I manage my investments.

It actually seems to have bottomed out now with the bears all selling in the past 6 months since it hit an all time high just before the halving.

It is absolutely cyclical, and if this is the bottom this time then when it tops out again it really may hit $120k+

Then it'll crash again, but it's floor will be higher again.

Honestly, one more cycle and I may get out before btc crashes one last time due to Ethereum or one of the other more sustainable altcoins pushing it aside, or govt regulations just getting too much.

We invested pretty early so yeah... even if we sold today at least we've made enough to send kids to school for awhile :lol:

well said, but Eth or any other crypto isn't the same as btc and most likely will never overtake it in market cap or relevancy.

One thing that’s been super helpful is the solana bundler. It lets me manage multiple wallets at once, and it’s saved me on fees by letting me create a market ID for 0.3 SOL instead of 3 SOL. This approach helped me stay ahead of random bots and better control my trades.

Feels like dirty money because it's partially the result of you know who getting in, but the new question may be -

Anybody suddenly quite wealthy?
