I had a conversation with someone outside this forum and my choice of topic "Must everyone invest in Bitcoin" was his question, it's a nice question for someone that's willing to know about Bitcoin so I decided to bring it here to know the opinion of members of our Local board. 
 Well my own opinion and reply to him is that it's a matter of choice, Bitcoin investment is not forced on anyone, yes anyone can invest in it but must be willing and should have the necessary requirements to do so, moreover it's not the only investment option and there are lots of others like Real Estate, Gold, Stock, and even Commodities like agricultural, petroleum/natural gas, livestocks etc.
 However since Bitcoin is a modern form of investment, the best digital asset and has become a very reliable asset that can generate good profits for long-term it would be nice to seize the opportunity of investing in it as it's still very early compared to when the price would go higher in the future, hopefully.

If that's enough for you - that's awesome.

The main thing is to find what suits you best, and keep moving forward in that regard

Stocks are the same alternative that BTC is an alternative to stocks.

Lately, I’ve been looking at how trading competitions can actually be a decent side strategy for building extra profits if you’re already actively trading. In the last one I joined, I managed to stack up rewards just by trading spot daily, and to my surprise, it added up to more than I expected. What made it interesting was that it wasn’t about being a whale, consistency alone was enough to land decent credits.

The next round is starting soon, and I'll probably sign up again, it feels like an easy way for me to squeeze extra value out of what I'm already doing. I’m curious if anyone here also uses these kinds of events as a side strategy, or if you see it more as just noise in the background.

If the AI is working for you, it is not bad to continue to use it. Is this your second trade with AI? It would be good to have 30 consecutive trades and report each on this thread to prove that AI are actually worth it.

I do not use AI for my own analysis but I will try and get some information about them by using the three common ones which are ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini.

Your assessment is good and correct, because AI agents or models should only be used as assistants in doing anything, and the person who is using them as the assistant should know everything about what they are doing, so that if the model or agent makes a mistake, they should be able to understand that it's a mistake and should be able to rectify it.

Someone who doesn't know what they are doing, and believes that the AI is going to do everything for them and they just need to sit back, and the agent will keep making them money consistently, is doing it the wrong way, and they will most probably lose more money than they will make using such agents and models.

People need to understand that AI models are only good if they are used for help, and you can't rely on them for everything, or expect them to do everything correctly without any human input, that's basically not possible, at least not for now.

I want to share my analysis, and I'm hoping someone could share some more ideas about this chart below, and maybe there's something that I didn't notice in my analysis. Hoping some pro traders and positional traders out there could share some pro tricks.

So far this is my analysis below with a daily timeframe:



Scenario #1:
Possible bounce at around $112k on August 20, 2025, and it might be just a retracement and going to retake to hit $125k.
Reason: Stochastic oversold signal.

Scenario #2: Possible breakout, and it might go down more below $106k-$108k, and it might bounce near the anchored VWAP.
Reason: RSI is not oversold yet, and there is no divergence signal yet.

Take note: This is not a financial advice; don't use this analysis to risk your capital. This is my own analysis; you can correct me if I am wrong.

Looking at today’s chart on Ethereum, the market feels divided. Some are eyeing $6K if ETF inflows continue to build, while others warn of a pullback toward $4.2K with leverage piling up. Institutions seem to be accumulating, but whale selling is keeping things a bit bearish feels like a real tug of war.

There are side plays popping up across chains like launchpads and AMMs on Solana but ETH still feels like the main scene of attraction rn.

Do you think Ethereum holds strong here, or are we setting up for another shakeout before the next run ? 

I always tell myself I’m gonna stick to a monthly Bitcoin buy… and then life happens. One month I forget, another month I wait for a dip that never comes, then I FOMO in after a pump and screw the whole strategy.

I know the idea is to stay consistent, emotionless, blah blah but it’s harder than it looks when you’re doing it all by hand.

Has anyone here figured out a way to automate this without stressing over charts every week? Not looking for some trading bot or anything fancy, just a simple system that buys on schedule. Preferably one where I don’t need to be awake to click “Confirm.”

Open to ideas if you’ve got something that works for you. Might actually help me stop sabotaging my own bags.

I see that a lot of projects are heavily using AI words, but does it really help them achieve what they want?

Looking into some well-known projects like TAO focusing on decentralized AI infrastructure, RENDER providing distributed GPU power for AI and 3D rendering, and FET building AI-driven networks for automation and optimization. It seems to me each approaches AI from a different angle, aiming to solve real-world challenges in new ways.

But why not use AI for others? Like I can think of AI being used to detect sybil to mark out who is abusing the airdrop system and many AI uses like predictable analysis on markets.

I also have seen that there's a category called AI Agent tokens, what they do is networks of independent programs that perform useful actions and earn rewards. Xeleb Protocol is one example, where each agent must prove its value before being rewarded, with $XCX as the token running the system. AI agent tokens like these are listed on major markets like Bitget, MEXC, and more.

So Ai, Ai agents, and many more AIs, are they good for the future? I mean what would YOU think from an investor's perspective ?

Trust is a very big thing within the crypto and web3 ecosystem, I dare say the biggest part of the ecosystem. Crypto users rely on trust, trust in bridges, rollups or even dApps, and this can be very risky sometimes if we're being honest.

Like with my last post, I have a theory and while this might sound cliche, I think a solution would just be making ZK proofs easy fast and cheap for any project to use.

Now I'm not saying this is a new idea, I'm sure there are people or teams out there already doing something like this, or even projects out there already offering something similar, I remember reading about PROVE and I know they offer something similar, but I'm not sure how many people use this, or if it's even wildly used at the moment, so take this post with a pinch of salt. ..

The market has been down after the recent altcoin rally. I am looking at some altcoins I think will do well, but I would love your opinion if there will be another rally before I jump into investing in these altcoins.

Though I plan to risk something little, it would be great to have more opinions before I go about it. One of the altcoins I am big on is CYC. I came across CYC not long ago, and if there will be another rally, with its features and fundamentals, it would be a great addition to my portfolio.

With the token getting listed soon, I plan to wait for it to dip before getting in so I won't be the exist liquidity of big players. What do you guys think?

You still try to go for Bitget, don't you?

Memes are indeed risky, and it's not worth it in the long run, only if you want to gamble on it.

Yeah same here. It’s wild how fast new ones are popping up.

I saw Token6900 picking up steam too. No idea where it came from but it’s been all over my feed lately. Might be one of those “right vibe at the right time” plays.

I’ve just been throwing in small amounts on stuff that catches my eye. No expectations, just seeing what sticks.

And yeah, always ready for it to go to zero the next day. Part of the game.

Altcoins are highly volatile, as much as it can give you that rior, the coin can also dump to zero without possible come back.


Is like gambling, this coin just decided to give you the jackpot, it's left for you to take profits, or keep risking your luck holding the coin.


But frankly speaking, those who invest early, always have the chance to buy at low price most especially if the project is a good one with potential in the market, congratulations on your wins

@OP, I think your should make an adjustment to the topic, because not all early entry always wins or gain this kind of profits. There are even too many bad profits that caused investor losses than the ones that actually generated profits for them. What I think is right to say is that early entry into a good project can make you win. Despite that I invest in most of these altcoins, I am very careful with them too because I have the knowledge that altcoin investment is almost similar to gambling, lucky if you meet the right project early but bad luck if you meet the bad project early too.

Wow, completely sold out in 12 mins. That was fast!
