It might be. I didn't want to believe but that's how the market works — whether we want to believe it or not.

Some of those Bitcoin gains are already flowing into alts and ETH has been one of the biggest beneficiaries because of the ETF and the treasury companies being created to accumulate ETH and we know that if ETH goes up, it invariably means that altcoins will go up as well.

But since we have over 15 million tokens right now, I imagine that we won't have full blown alt season but  a different one where some selected alts do much better than others. For instance, tokens like Filecoin (FIL) and Sonic(S) —formerly Fantom, have seen very little to no gains.

I never watched any of the Chelsea matches leading up to the final but I did see at least 2 of psg games (Bayern and Madrid) so it was very easy to come to that decision to support the favorites PSG. But what happened on the pitch today was completely different. Chelsea showed the world a side that no one believed they hard. The same PSG team defeated Liverpool, Arsenal, City and even Aston Villa only to fall short against a Chelsea side that everyone considered mid at best.

But I'm glad to see that PSG isn't invisible after all.

PUMP catch up? I think you mean BONK catching up to PUMP's valuation. This is what I was talking about in other pumpfun threads about the pump token. That 4-5 billion FDV as the starting valuation is already too high for PUMP. Unless we do have a full blown alit season, the upside isn't much.

BONK FDV 2.3B
PUMP FDV (based on premarket) : 5B+

You can clearly see which of the two needs to play catch up. The influencer has around 9x more margin in the bonk trade vs the pump token trade so you need to put that into consideration too as well as more leverage 5x > 3x leverage.

Imo, the old politicians spoiled the country afaik. Look how tough the country currently is abd compare it to 2-3 decades ago when the current youths were growing up. Life was easier then and you could make some money hustling manual jobs. Now, you can't survive that way because of the cost of living. I used to blame my friends and other youth for chosen the path of fraud—while they made the ultimate decision to embrace that path, the government played a crucial role for that. If there was opportunities in the country, there wouldn't be this much scams.

What opportunities do the average n youth have now in the country even as a graduate? None? That's what I thought. You only get decent opportunities if you have connections.

Bitcoin is now too big for them to ignore especially now that the United States is pushing to be the capital of Bitcoin and all things crypto. It's very convenient that they would now allow it especially since their previous laws and restrictions made a lot of people not to invest in bitcoin over the years when it was super cheap. Heck, SARS made plenty of arrests and extortion all in the name of restricted crypto laws. Lol.

Well, nothing really surprising about the news because the same government won't invest some of our money in Bitcoin as those money will be siphoned via government "contracts".

Whatever rocks your boat, OP.  Not all markets/instruments/assets will be suitable for everyone to trade. The same way you find memecoin trading the most appealing of the two is the same way I prefer crypto futures. As long as you're doing well and getting paid, you're good to go because there's always going to be opportunities for you whether you stick to futures or focus on being a full-fledged degen. Goodluck on your endeavor.

All your lessons are completely valid stuff that happen to traders and I've experienced quite a few myself but I just wanted to point out this one. I think the need to trade everyday is one of the reason why I lost a lot of money in my own trading journey. In fact, now, I do think that the best traders are going to be either swing or position traders that make very few traders per year but every single one of those trades are high quality ones that greatly outperforms day trades.

That was masterclass from Enzo Maresca boys to give a plot twist in the final. PSG has destroyed teams that far outperformed Chelsea in the EPL as well as other top European clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern, Inter, etc. So it's easy to see why everyone backed PSG going into the finals.

On the plus side, it's good to see PSG beaten thoroughly because other clubs including my club (Liverpool) can see that this PSG team is not tso invisible after all if you know which of their weaknesses to leverage.

This game left many (including myself) speechless especially during the opening minutes of the game. Up until the first goal, Chelsea was very much in charge of the game.

Talking about Chelsea's performance, it was something else. I mean. They beat PSG in almost all regard. Even Sanchez who Chelsea fans considers a mid channeled his inner buffon and made crucial savss that frustrated PSG attacks even more.

This game was jinx lol. A lot of people made fun of Chelsea since the day PSG destroyed Real Madrid up until the start of the game even the legendary jinxer (Utdtrey) posted PSG to win vs Chelsea. I've seen this before—a situation where a massively underpriced underdog win against a favorite in a crucial stage of a tournament.

Anyway, I went with PSG but I hesitated a bit because I had an invisible "what if" question on my mind.

Gg wp to anyone that backed Chelsea to win. You're the real MVP.

1.6 odds is nothing big anyway so that's very understandable but there was a time last year where I would happily take 1.20 to 1.8 odds gladly but I'm beginning to lean towards 3 odds minimum. But for someone like myself that prefers accumulator bets from with 1-3 selections, that's when you'd appreciate 1.60 odds lol. Other than that, nah. But I'm going to do it this time with psg. Might as well spice it up with PSG win and over 2.5.

$150k is certain indeed. I knew we will get there when we were at 110k the first time and these institutions were still pumping in more funds and buying thousands of Bitcoin daily. I think that's the single biggest indicator that bitcoin is going to reach $150k. Call me delusional but I think we might even see $200K Bitcoin if this bullish momentum is maintained for longer because more institutions will start fomoing in.

I don't know much about countries more suitable to start a prop firm. I trade with CFT which is a crypto prop firm and I think they are registered in poland or Switzerland or a country with similar origins. Don't forget to share your prop firm with the btt community when it goes live.

We have the Fifa club world cup final on Sunday. Are you planning to punt another one of those crazy bet and pick the underdog (Chelsea) to win vs PSG?

Would be interesting to see but I don't see myself taking bets like that but ngl, I love seeing those kind of bets win.

Btw, I'm going to be going for PSG moneyline because I don't think Chelsea's defense don't have what it takes to tame this PSG attackers.

Yeah, airdrop for retroactive pumpfun users is fair; I just don't think it's enough. I mean, why not just dedicate the presale portion of the token supply to users that have used their platd6in some way? Let me tell a short story about HyperLiquid and Pumpfun.

HyperLiquid —

• didn't raise anything from investors (0% investments).
  
• 30-60% allocated to community via initial community airdrop and future community distribution
• No token sale/presale/public sale. Those tokens were dedicated to community.
  
• Almost all revenue is distributed to HLP users and the remainder is used for a fund called assistance fund (AF) that buys and holds HYPE token everyday.
  

Pumpfun

• Only recently started sharing a bit of their revenue as creator rewards. Previously, they have extracted over $725m in revenue from the creation of over 11 million tokens. What's worse is the fact that they're constantly dumping solana tokens (from revenue) in the open market
• Still doing a presale and took investments from private investors

Pumpfun is not a bad product when you look at it from a business POV. Over $750m in revenue in 12 months is a very strong metric. My only problem is starting FDV is quite high. Get users in at $500m, $1B to $1.5B and then it goes like $10B post TGE and users will thank you for it.

This is crypto and anything is possible. . I mean, I literally just watched Bitcoin goto $118K and ETH at $3k once again which seemed like a wild dream back in March when it was dwelling at 1.3k lows. Pumpfun can do 3-4x but it's definitely going to depend on how they take it. If the market thinks it's an HyperLiquid type of project or of similar quality, then it would be valued highly.

But imo, if they really cared that much, they should have made the tokens available for purchase at a much lower FDV. The last time a token was sold at this much FDV was the EOS ICO and we all know how that went.

Anyone who is interested to buy this at the $4B FDV, what is your expected ROI?

My thesis for not participating is quite simple because I do think that if we're going to buy it at $4B, $8B will only me 100% or 2x increase which isn't much. Also, I don't think it would do extremely well like hyperLiquid because the pumpfun team has been massively extremely and this portion meant for presale is better pff handed to their users as airdrop.

Happy ATH to all holders. Truly, anyone that believed in Bitcoin years ago and accumulated a significant amount over the years will be much better off now because bitcoin has been one of the few assets doing extremely well in the last 15 years.

Less than 2 weeks ago, we thought it was so over when we broke below $100k but now, we're so back. ATH after ATH. Congratulations everyone!

Well, a wise man once said:

And I agree. Fluminense needed more than luck to progress through to the finals but their luck ran out unfortunately.

I think the same can be said about Chelsea that have had it easy so far—relatively easy teams compared to the teams that PSG has defeated on their way to the FCWC final.

Iirc, @famososMuertos picked Fluminense to win the cup in the outrights market. I knew it was a far-fetched dream.

I said this a few days ago because of how in-form PSG has been towards the end of last season as they were dismantling  the best teams in Europe in the UCL and now, they're doing the same in the Fifa club world cup. Truly an exceptional team.

Imo, this game finished before it reached 30 minutes of playing time and real Madrid stood no chance. Also, I said Real Madrid is at an experimentation phase and that's true seeing how Vini junior started on the right and Mbappe on the left side of their attack.
