On the day of Donald Trump's inuguration, he did not mention anything about cryptocurrency as per his promises, and if because of this, many crypto enthusiast were critical for not mentioning Bitcoin, some were disappointed because Bitcoin price failed to pump. After two months of inuguration, he twitted on his Truth social about the his meme as OP wrote, unfortunately, many crypto enthusiast started complaining, saying that he shouldn't made a post about his memes tokens simply because meme are considered as shit coins.

As we all knew, the only time in crypto history that we have a friendly president is now becoming the worst era in crypto, unfortunately, during the last regime, we were complaining, especially about the SEC chairman, and now, the complaints has gone worst. Let appreciate what we have now as a community

Crypto's wild swings can drive anyone up the wall! When I heard Trump's take on it, I'll admit I was thrown off too, I guess I hoped for something clearer, but honestly, when has government stuff even been simple? I try not to dwell on the letdowns though it's exhausting. Instead, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for updates and figuring out how to roll with the punches because this market never sits still. Patience has saved me more than once and I think if we stick together and build a soild crypto crew, we'll coumt out stronger no matter what.

This 'made in US' is like a branding on its own. It somehow puts investor at ease because they know it already passed (or going to pass) regulatory scrutiny. Unlike before, there's a fud that coins and tokens that originated outside could be labeled and ruled as a security.

At least "Made in US" is a good narrative for the crypto market that's mired in gloom. We need a narrative to get investors' attention and put money into the market with positive expectations. For example, they'll buy and hold XRP, SOL, and ADA because they believe these tokens will become valuable. Their very actions will turn their expectations into reality if they are numerous enough and have faith in the future of this trend.

The SEC has dismissed most of Gensler's absurd lawsuits. The SEC is taking a truly friendly approach to crypto so as not to hinder the natural development of this market. That's a good sign, but it's been forgotten in the negative emotions of investors.

I really think slapping a 'Made in US' tag on crypto could make people feel better about jumping in, like it's a sign everything's legit and approved by the big shots. I've noticed the SEC's been chilling out lately and that's got me hopeful people might start trusting the market more. But honestly, I don't think it's just about a cool story or label that gets me excited. It's whether people actually use it and it does something useful. I try to keep my eyes peeled for solid info and not just ride the hype wave. For me, it's all about what this stuff could do down the road not just what everyone's buzzing about today. I'm curious to see how it all shakes out.

What are your tips for acquiring bitcoins and other cryptos honestly (or just BTC if you are a maximalist), and if possible, with less effort and with a greater capacity to earn an income.

My tips will always be to always invest in Bitcoin for the long term. It is not a matter of always having two years, it can be 4 years or 8 years and more. Think of Bitcoin as a real asset for the long term, not as a short-term trading asset. And here I will not say that you always have to invest a large amount, but it will be the wisest thing to do for the long term by following a regular DCA scheme. In this case, I think you can invest here along with your job and build a large asset for the long-term. In this case, you don't have to be a professional analyst at all.

I think the easiest way for me to grab bitcoin without stressing is by buying a little bit at a time, like every week or month, to keep the risk low. I could also pick up some BTC by doing freelance gigs, using cashback deals, or selling stuff for it. For some chill income, it's all about playing the long game, staying patient and keeping my stash safe. Bitcoin's not a quick cash grab but I love how solid it feels when I handle it smart.

Yeah, but not all genius inventions can be easily accepted by the world government... even you must know some conspiracies about Nikola Tesla's inventions that are hidden by the world government for certain purposes... we can know Bitcoin now because of Satoshi and also there has been no extreme action from the government of big countries (except China), therefore, we can still have Bitcoin and trade it freely and limitedly...

Even so, it does not rule out the possibility that the wave of revolutionary breakthroughs will occur very quickly, considering that the government always has a plan one step ahead than ordinary citizens... so, it does not rule out the possibility that some governments will ban Bitcoin at any time, for their reasons... yes even though I'm sure there will be many people who are labeled as naughty citizens because they secretly transact Bitcoin.

I remember when bitcoin and bitcoin mining were banned in China, many people commented that bitcoin might not be able to move forward. But even with their ban, bitcoin has moved through 109k.
And it seems that another bullishness is yet to start. So no one can control it and as such, there is no point in governments banning it.

I've been amazed at how bitcoin keeps bouncing back even when big places like China try to shut it down. It's wild to me how it's built in a way that no one can really boss it around, it just keeps going! I see more and more people all over the world jumping on board and that makes me feel like it's here to stay. Governments might throw some rules at it and I get why they'd want to but I dont think they can stop it. To me, Bitcoin's like this tough little fighter, it adapts and keep its value no matter what. I figure those rules will end up guiding where it heads next, not killing it off, and I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

i've been thinking about how mining costs are shooting up everywhere and then there's Ethiopia jumping in with some of the cheapest electricity around ($0.054/kwh). It's pretty cool to imagine Africa shaking things up in crypto mining like this! I wonder if Ethiopia can really go toe-to-toe with big shots like China, the US and Kazakhstan. What do you think, can they pull it off?

I've been thinking about how Ethiopia's super cheap electricity could make it a big deal for crypto mining and honestly, it's pretty cool to see Africa jumping into this! I mean, having a low cost power is awesome but I know it's going to take more than that to keep up with the huge players like China or the US. Still, if Ethiopia gets the right setup, like good internet, solid buildings and smart rules, I feel like it could really stand out. I read somewhere, maybe a blog or a post, that oneminers dot com just opened a hosting center there, which got me excited because it shows big companies are noticing Ethiopia too. I love the idea of more businesses jumping in, it could turn the place into a real hotspot for mining. I'm curious to see how it all plays out, especially since I've always thought Africa's got so much potential to shine in stuff like this.

bitcoin, ethereum, xrp, solana, and cardano

these are the ones trump chose to be added to the us strategic reserve some people may wonder why he chose these ones but i think the simple answer is that these are top crypocurrencies by marketcap right now bnb and usdt are among the top ones but of course they wouldn't choose bnb since it is from an exchange and it would be pointless to add usdt to their national reserve since it is just usd issued by another company

with this said, do you think trump could add more cryptocurrencies in the reserve in the future? and if yes, which ones do you think have the possibility?

I get why Trump picked those coins for the US reserve, they are some of the biggest players out there. BNB and USDT probably got skipped because one's tied to an exchange and the other's a stablecoin, you know? I'd bet more coins could join the list later but it'd depend on how big they are, how safe they feel and what are the rules say.

When you've been through one or two cycles, these sort of things become a common occurrence and you feel immune already. Some new/unique things happened this year but I actually thought they are still small compared to the previous crashes. Looking forward to the next craziness

Exactly, even if we are in the bull run, there could be a lot of surprises, even negative news. And as we move forward and evolved, there will be new news that will affect the market negatively.

But it seems to settle down already, we've regain $90,000 and there is one big positive news that everyone is waiting. And this is about this Friday's summit on the White House and there are noises in the background that Trump might announcement how Bitcoin and other cryptos as US strategic reserves. And if this turns out to be positive, then we will see 6 digits again and we might see the biggest green candles since Trump was declared the winner.

You're so right! People's vibes about the market can flip fast especially with big news like politics or money stuff. If that Friday rumor is real, I bet bitcoin could take off but i am not jumping in blind just yet. Short term ups and downs are wild but I think the big picture like more people using it and rules settling in is what'll really matter. Let's watch what happens and stick to the good sources for updates!

I've observed that bitcoin's price has been highly volatile recently with significant fluctuations. For instance bitcoin's value dropped 15% over the past month reaching $83,796. Such rapid movements often lead to market corrections. Analysts note that during previous bull markets, btc has undergone corrections ranging from 25% to 35% which often present strategic buying opportunities. Given these patterns a 40% correction before surpassing its previous ATH is plausible. Monitoring key support levels such as the $90,000 mark is crucial as breaching these levels could lead to further declines. Investors should remain vigilant and consider these historical trends when making decisions.
