Well, XRP does use Blockchain tech. Right? By definition, that makes it a cryptocurrency. Not to mention, XRP uses makes use of asymmetric cryptography. Same as Bitcoin and the others. What makes XRP different from BTC is the way the network is structured/organized. XRP is centralized, or rather, a permissioned network under the control of a corporation.

At the time of this writing, Ripple, Inc. holds most of XRP's supply. So anything from bankruptcy or a government crackdown, could endanger holders' funds in the long run. People don't see it now because they only focused on making money. As long as XRP keeps going to the moon, nothing else matters.

Quite a lot of people are sceptical about face to face trades, because of the risks that come with it, but that is the only way you can trade your money for bitcoin without linking it with your bank account or identity. If you must use face to face trade, remember to meet your counterparty in a public place and you can also go along with your friend; also ensure the trade doesn't happen anywhere near your home so you're not followed.

maybe not the stupidest people, but the most involved in mondialism.

El Salvador is becoming Switzerland for Bitcoin. Just as Switzerland is famous for gold, El Salvador will become like Switzerland for Bitcoin, meaning Nayeb Bukele has described El Salvador as the Switzerland for Bitcoin.
However, EL Salvador organized a workshop in Lugano, Switzerland, with 400 students in the category of PlanB-Network to train young people on Bitcoin, where a talented young man named Erickson Elias performed the best among 400 students. Seven talented young people were originally sent to introduce El Salvador's Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in Lugano, Switzerland.

Waiting for higher prices, right? If Bitcoin does not reach $150K this year, there is a possibility of a decline, but the optimistic scenario is still possible—it's just a matter of time.

This might very well happen but personally, I feel that this would once again shed light on Bitcoin to the global stage, and newer laws and crypto regulations may be imposed. Surely the government would want to have some sort of control over such a big digital currency (at least for the larger organizations dealing with business for less anonymity - the irony), and this could slow down its progress, depending on how large the effect is.

Just my 17 satoshis (as of today), I feel that Bitcoin would go through yet another wave of scrutinization, slowing down the climb, but we shall see.

But when it comes to trading, specifically in crypto or bitcoin, I'm not impressed because I think that bot trading,
in which is, in my opinion, not really profitable.

Not entirely though, many of those minerals are imported and China build up the processing factories.
Most of those refinement factories could not exist in the 1st world.

Yes, for fun, more than anything else. After beating AHTs there is always a dip in which many retail traders who buy at highs think if they have done wrong and more than one ends up selling at a loss.

Then there is another topic about Peter Schiff someone recently created.

The more I say ignore him, the more topics about him you guys create.

Do professional traders rely on Chatgpt for large-scale, let alone daily, trades? I'm not sure, so I don't rely on this tool.

As for the fall of it? I think it will be related to the minerals that are just limited for the battery creation. But that might take time as China has got a lot of friends if it's about these natural resources needed in producing these BYD and other chinese brand of cars. Tariffs will certainly impact that a lot but they don't care about for the likes of US, they won't just go into their market unless there's a strong demand there. I am seeing this brand of car in the road everyday and it's got a strong sales here in the Philippines. But if God blesses me with some extra money I am not yet sure if this is the kind of car that I'll purchase.

Democrat Senators Want El Salvador Sanctioned, BTC Tracked


US senators have demanded sanctions against El Salvador for a variety of corruption-related activities, including increasing El Salvador's strategic reserve on Bitcoin, monopolistic Bitcoin purchases, corruption, embezzlement of government funds, and more.
"The Bill" is mentioned in the Accountability Act of 2025 and asks for clarification on how El Salvador is using Bitcoin and the source of this Bitcoin purchase and who owns and has access to it, and has already requested that the US government clarify this.
However, the President of El Salvador has responded to the bill with many words and harsh criticism, describing it as a "salty bill" and "ridiculous" and stating that the bill was created to achieve a political objective and that accusations have been made against it.

After the lawsuit between them and the SEC ended, they became stronger than ever and whether we like it or not, the truth is that XRP is becoming a giant of the crypto industry. They are growing by connecting with governments, banks...and I wouldn't be surprised to see an XRP ETF launch this year or hit new ATHs.

Undoubtedly, few would think that the distribution of this mega airdrop would drag on for more than three years, which is how long it will take at the current rate of token distribution by Core Team, which is blatantly manipulating the price, withholding the tokens they promised to deliver on Open Mainnet, which was five months ago, on February 20th.

They are delaying the token distribution to try to keep the price at a certain level, rather than having delivered all the tokens and letting the market decide the price.
But this way, they wouldn't be able to raise the money they are making from the sales.

Overproduction is the main problem facing the Chinese economy as a whole, and the automotive industry in particular. An export-oriented economy cannot survive without comfortable sales markets. The domestic market is oversaturated, and the European market is closing due to tariffs...

"Huge discounts are no longer helping: car stocks are growing, BYD is cutting shifts and slowing down production
The BYD brand has sold 1,151,919 cars in China since the beginning of the year
China's largest car manufacturer BYD is slowing down production in China due to growing stocks.

Looking at the charts the past 6 months were pretty good for bitcoin. It has performed really well when compared to other assets.

I don't know if you are referring to early investment in altcoins or in Bitcoin. Early investment in Bitcoin yield better profits than investing today, we all wish we had the opportunity of buying Bitcoin when it was very low as of worth in cents instead of today when the price is worth $100K, being early comes in two ways: for altcoins investment nobody knows the worth until the market pumps while Bitcoin investment is something we know to do better in each interval of four years. Buying Bitcoin today is far better than buying with the same amount in the next four years.

My full understanding is that this reflects the type of savings continuity practice under their political figure leadership.
I know many observers have commented that because personal purchases in this country are so small, they never have an impact on Bitcoin liquidity but the consistency with which they are practicing is certainly enough to support a major symbolic effect. You have made ample statements that they are organizing various research programs and educational activities on Bitcoin, in addition the Robot Law and Bitcoin are among the most notable programs that have created a stir.

By the way this country may not trust various programs because they have already prepared a secure cold wallet system to protect their assets from possible cyber attacks maybe in this case they won't compromise on anything.

Poor people are big heart people because they don't try to save money and always try to spend all money which they have. They don't have long term plans and always try to eat more. But rich people have money for investment and they are doing investments again and again because they have excess money and always think about how to double this money. Rich people don't work because they have passive income and in result their health is damaged and they are encountered by many diseases and in comparison poor people are healthy people because they have best routine of life.Poor people always try to work and they are doing hard work but they are getting less money which is very bad for them.

Mentality is something which is that very powerful because if you dont know on what you've been that dealing into then you wont be that having that kind of movement. If you do push through on trying out to become rich then you should be acting out that trying out to execute those plans. It all matters about choices and on the actions that you are taking into so that you would be finding yourself having those kind of chances of such changed.

When I first entered into the crypto space, I used to look down on myself, I mean anytime I look at most of my friends and agemate already making it in the space and doing well for themselves.
But over time I realized something very important which is Being early doesn't matter if you are not ready.

In the web3 world being early means a lot either you are not ready for the info or what. So theres some things being early will always be advantage at some point.

I think few people have followed the link provided by the OP and read the entire article. It contains many interesting facts that reveal the identity of another unsuccessful trader. One of these is that at the end of May, Wynn lost almost $100 million in liquidations. And the longs he opened with a leverage of x50 brought him a profit of more than $ 10 million in March.

Tariffs, which are actually a tax on every American citizen

I find it very strange that Powell would nurture the thought of opposing Trump when Trump can easily replace him. The job of the Fed is supposed to be in line with the government of the day so why will the Fed refuse to lower rates when the government wants the rates lowerred? I know that Trump will not allow Powell thwart his economic policies so Powell's days may be numbered.
