I am optimistic that once the Bitcoin ETF is successfully approved by the SEC this year, 2024; there is the possibly of an ethereum ETF in near future. I think that the success of the Bitcoin ETF will determine wether there may be other ETF, for instance, ethereum, Binance, Tron, Solana, polygon ETFs. Now, Do you think other ETFs could follow Bitcoin ETF? Just your thoughts, thank you.

I don't think there will be ETFs for BNB, Tron Solana or Polygon because these are not securities, SEC has declared 4 token securities and those are if I am not wrong, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. And considering this list, I think the next ETF would be of Litecoin, everybody loves it btw and then BCH.  I am not a fan of BCH and also don't know the stats of this token.

And yeah as of writing this post ETH ETFs have already been accepted and the price is increasing day by day. Yes, other ETFs will definitely follow BTC because of the time when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, it streamlined ways for others to land as well. Same here BTC is Neil Armstrong. The pathway has been cleared by BTC that's why it was difficult for BTC and it won't be for other behind.

Do you think that Ether's different ETF approval process is a political influence or something else?

Your post is not making sense to me right now, as the news source you have provided is totally talking about the decisions and nature of the 5 people who voted back at the time of BTC ETFs and now they are concerned about ETH ETF's on the basis of nature of these 5 people who voted back then. By simple means, what the news has tried to compile is, they review the recent interviews, and statements of these 5 people (who voted) to understand their thinking and why they voted against and why not, so they could predict their next vote for ETH.

One of the voters, (Hester Peirce) showed his interest in the crypto industry, she voted for the approval of BTC back then and she seems to vote for ETH ETFs as well. Due to the involvement in the Ether community. Now can you explain a little why you think the process for both was different as I don't read any difference in the source news you provided. Plus there might be more and lesser strictness now and then, as BTC ETFs were first and ETH ETFs are second so ETHs might not have faced such difficulties to get approved.

I’ve been holding onto my Ethereum and Bitcoin cash for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been unsure about what to do with it. I know ETH is a valuable asset, but simply holding it doesn't seem like the best way to maximize its potential. Price has been flying up and down recently, but i'm bullish on it with the upcoming ETF approval, that is if it was approved it will be a plus for most retail holders like myself. Do you have any idea how i can make the most out of my holdings.

Yes, you can earn money by just holding Ethereum because it's a good coin for long-term investment, as of writing this post, ETFs have been approved and the prices have increased a lot. And day by day, just like BTC the price of ETH will decrease and increase. The type of increment are expecting with ETH due to ETF approvals is not going to happen because they same expectations we had with BTC ETFs.

So I think ETH ETFs will follow the BTC ETFs pattern, and that is it will decrease its value for the first few months maybe and after that there will be a boom in the price of ETH and we will see it at $6000 and many people including me are also saying it can easily touch $10k target. Which according to me is a good option. And ETH is going to give you more returns in compared to BTC as it can easily give you 2x at CMP while BTC can't give you more than 1x at CMP.

I wonder how far we have already fallen into the abyss of AI when you need to explain to someone that AI coins are actually nothing but the names of some altcoins with the mark AI? Who would have thought that the label AI will start selling everything from TVs, mobile phones, cars, computers to cryptocurrencies, and that people will actually agree to pay more because they think they are getting something more - and in fact, the more we use AI, the more stupid we will become.

Many will disagree, but all that has happened in recent years regarding AI is obviously only the beginning of something that in most SF content ends very badly for the human race.

You are right, but in my opinion, this is not something new, most of the projects don't have the right or main product in their hands for usage, they are just advertising their ideas, and getting funds, I am amazed who are those people, investing in only ideas. Although I know if the team is hardworking and can really implement the idea into work then it's not bad to invest but only what they don't care to lose. Or only if they want to gamble it.

Currently, there are AI projects, and most of them are using Claud 3 or gpt data models to create what, guess! GPT chatbots. I can make them, with no or lesser knowledge. Holoworld and my shell is one of the many, looks more sophisticated at the moment even if they have only a GPT chat system and they call themselves AI innovative platforms. I have a meme for these AI models.

But something tells me we havent seen the last of these. It will be interesting to see the next big thing is that the crypto community latches onto. Will it be quantum-resistant blockchain technology?LOL

Quantum computers might not be a harm to blockchain technology. For many reasons, if they would have then there are quantum computers in place that have done nothing to BTC or blockchain technology yet. Overall, I think they lack the knowledge or optimization to do that or these quantum computers are just beta versions at the moment, I mean they don't have sophisticated UI as Windows or other GUIs have. And speaking of narrative I think socifi is the current hyped narrative, and before that it was AI.

AI still has a chance, but the next big thing I am seeing is the implementation of AI into computational power, like the combination of both of maybe both as separate narratives. Many will say the hype of AI is over but I think otherwise, I think it's just getting started and we will see this hype along with other relevant narratives. I also joined the crypto sphere 2021, and I also experienced the hype of Metaverse and NFT as I wrote too many articles on these narratives.

I think its already a normal thing and has become a part of our life. The world is full of good and bad actors, it can't be full of only one. Diversity plays an important role here. So considering this I would say accepting the fact is obvious but not the solution. We could spread awareness about these scams. For example, these scammers pretend as a girl when they talk with you over social media, and after spending a long time chatting with you.

They will start the conversation about investing etc. and you already talking to her and trusting here, so you will definitely trust all of her words about investments as well. Even you will send your funds to them. Results in losing it as after they receive it, they will block you. So we can spread awareness to old and new users around us so they would save themselves from such actors. We can't force them but just tell them, after that its there decision.

You are right, to be a successful investor you have the characteristic of keeping patience, and not getting played by the market sentiments, the ones who claim themselves as investors or long-term holders, they should not see the news regularly, although it's not a good practice to not see, but if you keep seeing the news and the current situation of the market. Then a time will come when you will feel like exiting the market and you will think of entering again when the price will dump.
But you will end up losing it all, so considering this fact, it won't be wrong to say, we should not keep a keen eye on the market situation when we are making investments, like for the long term. Long-term means we don't care if the price goes up or down for like 2 to 5 years. The time period can depend on the individual mindset.
