Apart from all the could, can possible in that article there is one thing that really made me raise some eyebrow

Quote

Michaël van de Poppe, founder of trading firm MNTrading, suggests that Bitcoin’s dominance may have peaked as traders begin to shift liquidity to altcoins. Crypto trader Matthew Hyland echoed this, highlighting that Bitcoin market dominance is losing major support.

WTF is this guy smoking, Bitcoin is all over the news and there is like no talk about altcoins whatsoever, everything is about Bitcoin, Bitcoin ETF, bitcoin bonds, approval and regulations, no coin is coming even close to the spotlight and he thinks that altcoins are driving the market. One hiccup from the king and everyone is in red but lol, Bitcoin is losing dominance. Good luck keeping the market in the green with PEPE.

These guys obviously have their own vision of how the crypto-market works, and it is not excluded that they try to direct those who read in the direction of investing in altcoins by selling them the story that Bitcoin is losing its dominance. I have always called articles like this cheap PR, because in reality, when you look at it, some people just want to promote themselves and their business in such a way that they will say something that people will discuss.

Logical thinking is not the forte of such people - I always remember the famous Tom Lee, whose statements could be used to write a book called "A Hundred Wrong Speculations"

Gensler is obviously a man who has a negative attitude towards cryptocurrencies and this is something he has expressed many times. When you add to that that there is a lot of truth in what he says when it comes to crypto-scam, then his personal beliefs have a reflection in relation to his official duties as well. In addition to all this, it can be seen that a good part of American politicians are quite anti-crypto-minded, and that there is a strong lobby that advocates much stricter measures and regulation when it comes to Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies.

I am definitely in favor of doing everything possible to reduce the chances of scams in the crypto-industry, but not in the way of saying that they are all bad and going towards complete bans. In any case, there should be some order on the market, even though I do not approve of going in the direction of disabling any kind of privacy when it comes to any services that enable it.

So, I feel confident in saying that the adoption of BTC as everyday money - 15 years after its launch - is basically zero.
Where I live, if my only money were BTC I'd starve.
Or have a very limited, exotic diet 
As an investment, BTC has been a success story.
As a currency, a failure.

I would not agree that the adaptation in terms of using it as a currency is completely zero - but that it still depends on where you are and how big the crypto community is around you. If there are enough people who want to pay with crypto-currencies and they organize themselves and visit merchants with a request to add such a payment method, sometimes it happens.

I don't know how familiar you are with the example of Arnhem Bitcoin City, but I heard that there are similar places in the EU where Bitcoin really took off because people asked for it and sellers recognized it.

Imo BTC has failed as currency because of its volatility.
Think of a business - a dentist, barber, taxi driver, shoe seller - having on average a 3-5% profit out of each transaction.
Accepting BTC he could lose - given BTC volatility - all of that within 1 day.
Nobody likes to work for nothing.
Why take the risk.
Why accept BTC and then be forced to convert it as quick as possible in a stable currency.

Volatility is an advantage when trading, but of course a disadvantage when paying with Bitcoin - but that's why there are payment processors that serve to overcome that problem. The buyer pays with cryptocurrency, and the seller gets fiat, so it's a win-win situation for both.

It is true that there are not too many physical stores that accept BTC because we also have the problem that on-chain transactions are not instant, but that is why we have thousands of online sellers that accept BTC. Imagine living in a country where you can buy almost anything you want for BTC, and you don't have to pay taxes if 2+ years have passed since you invested in any cryptocurrency - it seems unrealistic, but it's true

In addition, OpenSats seems to support so many project[1][2]. So i expect it's only enough to make those project keep running and maintain most important feature.

A very interesting list of projects, and it is especially interesting that Tor is one of them - which might explain why others are less generous or restrained, given that this project is not very popular with those who fight against privacy. Of course, Tor is not the only project that makes privacy possible from that list, so every donation is not only valuable in a monetary sense, but also shows who is in all this just for money, and who has other goals as well.

Unfortunately, after the halving occurs, the price of bitcoin continues to fall and nothing can trigger the price of bitcoin to rise again. As I said before, after the halving occurs, it will definitely go down because it is clear that market conditions are not as usual.

It is not very wise to use the words "nothing" or "impossible" when it comes to Bitcoin, because the price has already reached $65 000 again today. What many people do not understand is that the market is two-way, which means that those who buy BTC at some point decide to sell it - and when we have such big players as spot ETFs that trade large amounts of BTC daily, then no one should be surprised that the price can change by 10-20% in just a few days.

Karma is basically worthless here - it is not as large as in Bitcointalk, it won't help you get into any campaigns, and nobody really cares much about it in general. I don't know why someone would waste their time farming karma on this forum.

I would not agree with your opinion, because although karma is not like merits in the technical sense, the number of positive karmas is an indicator of how much other members value someone's contribution on the forum. Therefore, I would not underestimate that feature of the forum, and that is certainly the case with those mentioned here.

In addition, our manager keeps statistics on the number of karma of each campaign participant, which is another thing that does not support your thesis.

The best strategy is not to be greedy, in other words if you are in all this just for profit you have to determine your exit point in advance. Some people are satisfied if they earn 50%, others will be completely satisfied with 100%, some others will seek a much higher profit - but in the end you should be realistic and not ask for the impossible.

There is no doubt that many have the goal of $100 000, so although we believe that it could happen this year or next year, those who are waiting for just such a moment risk not seeing it again.
