Bitcoin has been following United States stocks in trends like never before. During the election, Trump helped bitcoin to increase but the tariff he is imposing on other countries makes the United States stocks to suffer while bitcoin is part of the assets that was affected.

He started with China, then Canada and Mexico. Bitcoin price fall. He moved to European Union countries and the price continue to fall. The latest he imposed was on imported cars which was two days ago. The market did not react fast but later bitcoin fall again as you can see.

When Trump was elected, it was gold that suffered. It fall from I think $2900 to $2500. My price is not that accurate but the fall was significantly with the price I posted. Later gold start to increase again. It is not moved by the Trump's tarrif because and it continues to increase and hit ATH. Gold is now above $3050 as stocks and bitcoin suffers.

What bitcoin community did not know was that we do not need Trump. Bitcoin was $0.003 in 2009 but it has continue to increase. During Biden/Gensler time that was told to be hostile, bitcoin increased significantly. Bitcoin was approved in the United States.

The reason some people go for Trump is because of altcoins which are pump and dump and not a store of value as they do not get to ATH after they become an old coin. We expected something better but what we saw were Trump and Melania coin.

Recently Pi coin got listed and it got average response from buyers. Do you see lot of potential in projects like these because mobiles are very common these days ?

This is the reply drawn my attention,

Someone made a thread in the altcoin section where he wants to stake but doesn't have enough knowledge about DeFi. A newbie replies to him and invites him to talk through WhatsApp. I don't know what his intention was; it could be good or bad.

This isn't an allegation, actually, but a warning. This way, scammers invite you to talk, and they might motivate you to invest somewhere. They might show fake screenshots or proof to convince you. And some innocent greedy people would fall into the trap and lose everything. So just be careful of such invitations.  Rather, it's better to discuss in public places.

You just don't hope they are safe. You need to work around the clock by checking their social media pages if they have. Look into their communities and dig there to check if they've got real people and conversations there. Do a background check by looking at the team and who are those part of it. Start to search their names out of websites like linkedin if they're genuine people or just some guy used the name of a random guy and some random pictures of a gal.

You all thought Trump love bitcoin? But his policies is not making sense for bitcoin price to increase. His tariff plan on import of goods from Canada and Mexico caused the price of bitcoin to decrease. He paused it but later said yesterday that the tariff will become effect starting from next week. Bitcoin fell again and now below $90000.

You guys must have noticed how Telegram has shaped or has onboarded many people into cryptocurrency in 2024 alone.

With the help of the TON blockchain, we have seen many (tap-to-earn) projects emerge from Telegram, which has captured the interest of people seeking to make money with airdrops.

One of the recent additions to the list of these Telegram airdrops is TOMA, which debuts on exchanges soon with a launchpool; there will be more of these projects to come as the bull market continues.

Can we say Telegram is a big part of this current bull market? And what do you think about this project in terms of sustainability with TOMA in sight?

people often talk about ways to prevent and stop addiction to gambling but how much is actually in our control? we know that addiction is caused by chemicals in our brain making us more tolerant to certain stimulants which raises our desire to be stimulated more

we can try and gamble responsibly and have a very strong self control but when it is the chemicals in our brain that does the work how much of the addiction can we prevent? can we train our brain to never get addicted or is it almost inevitable?

Not speaking as a web 3 gamer but as a web 3 part-time user in general. All I can say is that it's a volatile place. Lots of fun at times and sad times occasionally. Given that it's web 3, there are scammers and hackers out there. You have got to keep your valuable assets in cold wallets to avoid getting exploited by wallet drainer smart contracts and websites

Research, read and learn more about different projects before investing a lot of your time and resources into them.
