This crypto community also includes a forum like this. While you are cautious of scams from outside, be also cautious of scams within. This is why you must ensure to avoid having private discussions with people in the forum that you do not know, especially discussions that you will be required to continue elsewhere.

There can be scammers here too, we also need to be careful.

Yeah, like suspicious newbie accounts who suddenly PM you and says about a investment scheme and others. But if you look closely, this could be a trap and so it's not good to have this private conversations with a newbie or even maybe a established member. You really need to know or uses your logic to tell that this could be a scam and should be avoided by all cost. And we have seen this kind of modus in the other community as many have reported this from many years ago but still this kind of scam attempts will appear from time to time.

Trump effect is just short term.

I agree with you mate. This is just temporary and hopefully we can see significant growth in the next few months because I am still seeing positivity of Bitcoin price to go back up in the last quarter of the year before it will full plummet in 2026 if I am not wrong.

The effects of Donald's Trump's policies on Bitcoin are short-term like you said but there are people who believes that he is controlling the price of Bitcoin with these policies. He wasn't controlling the price of Bitcoin rather with these policies rather it was just fundamental analysis playing out. Most of the new policies that affected Bitcoin price wasn't originally implemented to affect the price of Bitcoin but because he oversees the largest economy in the world, his financial regulations tends to affect the movement of the crypto market which is very normal and expected.

I wouldn't call it short live, as long as he is the President and keeping his promise of becoming a crypto friendly then everything will be good for us. Just like this news, https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-bank-regulators-pull-back-guardrails-bank-crypto-activities-2025-04-24/

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - U.S. banking regulators announced on Thursday they were pulling back several documents that urge banks to show caution when dabbling in cryptocurrency and related activities.
The Federal Reserve said it was withdrawing a pair of supervisory letters stipulating that banks should seek advance approval from regulators before engaging in crypto-asset and stablecoin activities.

So that alone is already huge and welcoming news and most likely it influence the price of Bitcoin to suddenly move over $95k in the last 24 hours. But currently this is the biggest barrier. But if we will hear optimistic news again then price will continue to grow.

There is no denying that it is an interesting update and we now look forward to the banks implementing this and we would see how many of them are going to start supporting transactions relating to crypto. Trump is surely a clown, but it is obvious that there are a few positive changes relating to crypto that has been made since he became president.

And that's why he promise right? That under his terms, they are going to be lax with regards to crypto. But I didn't expect that the Banks are going to bow so easy on his demand. I'm thinking that there is an obvious influence by the President. But in any case though, still good to hear that they are going to ease crypto bank rules. As this topic has been going on for like two weeks already but someone has to give in and so that is the Fed in this case.

for gamblers, budget is the most important factor of keeping ourselves away from getting addicted or spending way too much all at once i am sure we have different approaches so i am curious to know how you budget your gambling money do you budget it by weekly or monthly? and how do you find each approach different? which one suits you better? and why?

Definitely, I just refill my budget when I feel like there was a game that I might have a high chance of winning like in sports betting, so I will go as low as $20.00 to refill and then bet on the team that I want to win or with the better odds. Then after that, let's see how it goes, if I win they go and continue to bet. But if lose, then maybe I have to stop and reset everything. And maybe at the start of the week if I got my paycheck then continue to go on and play again.

Quite interesting news if we want
a new company is born, formed by 4 big names in our sector.
The new company will be called 21 Capital, will have an initial capital of 3 billion in bitcoin and will be launched on the initiative of
- Singer Fitzgerald
- Tether
- Softbank
- Bitfinex

let's say we know all the last three

Yeah, it seems that they really know what they are doing and so they pool their funds to built a 3 billion capital and this is going to be huge for us. And it means that bullish sentiments is back once again and those involved have experience already in the market so this is really welcoming news and probably that's why the market is again on  a mini run of itself and could be pushing for $100k moving forward as our short term goal. So let's just remain optimistic that the goal of at least $150k could be hit before the end of the year.

I'm not sure if there is a thread on Suarez fight against Navarette here. It will be in May 10 as this fight is going to be big for the Filipinos as they don't have a world champion or at least someone that will carry the torch when Pacquiao has left.

But he is going to be fighting a big Mexican brawler and somewhat Charly is old by today's standard as he is a late bloomer. And obviously he is a big underdog here but I will say that never underestimate the heart of a Filipino boxer.

Yup, Charly Suarez is a bit old as 36 is considered old in boxing. Though i don't underestimate his chances in this fight but i don't expect much from him though i would still be very happy if he pulls an upset. I would not bet on him on this one but rather will look for another option/market if the bookies will offer other options.

The bookmaker already undermined Charly, we can see it on the odds. That's got to be considered almost a sure win over Charly. Stake offers almost same odds.

Navarette has enormous KO rate so it wouldn;t be surprising to see Charly gets KOd. Even when Charly does have zero loss, he isn't going to escape the beating from a young fighter with so high KO rate.

Navarette is really a hard puncher, I'm thinking that this could be similar to Inoue vs Tapales fight (another Filipino). Tapales was really strong and wanted to pull an upset, but Inoue accurate punching really take a toll on Tapales as he was knockout. So maybe in the first couple of rounds, Suarez is a willing opponent that will engage Navarette, but once he taste his power, he will be soften up and this might not last the full 12 rounds.

Given the current situation, people will definitely continue to buy BTC where the price is still in a downward position, even though the increase is not that significant, but if we buy at a price of $80k or below, when there is a slight increase like yesterday, we can still take advantage.

I agree with this since there are many reasons why people are not discouraged from purchasing BTCs despite the slow increase in their price range. For this reason as long as the price is still below some psychological mark, the chance of attaining a rather significant differentiation is still possible. The point is that no matter how insignificant the amount is, it makes sense if it is accumulated gradually, over and over again. People who practise reading of the business indicators are fully aware of the fact that not all fortunes rise high. In fact, such a setting is quite beneficial for those who are not hasty and do not take actions immediately. Since the foundation of the belief is firm and the perspective is not just short-term, even a gradualist movement is also appealing.

After yesterday's decline, I think BTC owners who buy  stocks btc  in installments for the past few weeks can smile happily, as the increase in BTC over the past 2 days has provided a breath of fresh air if you take short-term profits.

Yes, unfortunately, it didn't last as the price seems to bounce back down to $92k. So it's not that sustainable run for us, and obviously, it's just temporary, sort of mini run. So with the decline and as what we have said before, it's really better to just buy and continue to stack sats as this could be another accumulation period before the next stop of $100k. And it's really good to be looking at the bigger picture right now and now just those short term profits. It's better to just delayed everything and look for the end year results as the profits is going to be big specially if you are holding and accumulating for many months or even years.

That's a huge prediction for the next cycle itself. So it's very hard to see where it's going. But if you look at the current price movement, I do not think that it will get to $12k in the future. It even had a hard time even going to it's previous bull run of around $4k this cycle. As compare to Bitcoin wherein it has $109k already under it's belt. I know that there are a lot of Ethereum holders, but perhaps they have lost a lot of investors this cycle because of the obvious reasons about their consensus mechanism of today.
