I have no clue how this all works out in the end no more then you or anyone else does. Come back in 20yrs like you said you would, your wasting your time here
and it would be much better suited for the MISINFORMATION thread where you fit right in.

USD is hanging in there so look for the economic indicator news in the morning and watch the DXY reaction. BTC had a bunch of
long leverage snatched and there is still some on the table however Im not really looking for price to break down much below 37.5+/- and that
will be a reach 42-40k+/- (61.8 wky) would be a more of a logical landing field imo. Markets are confused and looking for guidance so until USD
shows it's hand most of the markets should just stay in or near range.

Do Kwon has been buying things on the exchanges apparently instead of making over the counter buys (which don't move the price):

Will you still be alive in 20 years? Serious question.

The actuarial tables indicate that is indeed extremely likely. But on the other hand I expect that before the decade is over, there will be the beginnings of a one world government and that could change everything from life expectancies to personal liberties to economic conditions. If any of us are still alive then I expect we will all be using the same currency, and it won’t be physical, it will be 100% digital.

And for the record I’m all for making wise investments. I just tend to believe the investment experts and the evidence that cryptos are an expensive fad that will achieve their intrinsic value which just so happens to be significantly less than what most of them currently trade at. So if I can invest a grand today and double or triple my money and then cash out in the next 2-3 years I’m in. Was able to do that with precious metals buying near the bottom and selling near the top several years ago, I just don’t see that happening with any certainty in the crypto sphere. Volatility doesn’t even begin to describe cryptos.

It's followed the green path to a T so far. Still below the 20 DMA though.

FJB 40k+/- is a tough neighborhood brother and is a logical tgt to start some buying at least a few Satoshi in that area if it gets there
under 38k is a far reach imo....

What Is a Blockchain Oracle?
Oracles provide a way for the decentralized Web 3.0 ecosystem to access existing data sources, legacy systems, and advanced computations. Decentralized oracle networks (DONs) enable the creation of hybrid smart contracts, where on-chain code and off-chain infrastructure are combined to support advanced decentralized applications (dApps) that react to real-world events and interoperate with traditional systems.

Why Does BTC Fluctuate so Much?
Bitcoin's price fluctuates because it is influenced by supply and demand, investor and user sentiments, government regulations, and media hype. All of these factors work together to create price volatility.

How High Can Bitcoin's Price Go?
It's rare to watch cryptocurrency news and not see an investor or fan's opinion of how high Bitcoin's price will get. Unfortunately, it is unknown how high or low the cryptocurrency's price will go.

Is Bitcoin Safe to Buy?
You can buy Bitcoin on government-approved cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase. If you're looking to use Bitcoin to preserve capital or grow your assets, its price is highly volatile—there is no guarantee that you will see any returns; you're just as likely to lose everything you invest as you are to make any gains.

Just a bit of clarification to my approach in consideration of the crypto market.
CBDC are coming and regulation as well. The legacy system of SWIFT is like
using a 1929 stock model T in a race with Tesla's Model S EV car and why 1 of
my largest holdings is XRP as the premiere fast, cheap, ODL cross boarder pmt sys.

CBDCs depending on who gets to create and govern is the big question and concern.
However XRP maybe 1 of the most important cogs in the metrics of CBDC regardless
of the creator and governance. Definitely speculation at this time, but in my opinion is well
with in my risk appetite. XRP can be used exchange from them all.

Thanks for sharing the article, many in the US have led a privileged life with little exposure to the hardships civilians have to put
up with in other third world, developing and emerging markets. Americans in many ways have become of the mind they are so important they are entitled which we all see or experience this most every day rather from family members or out in public. I dont know about anyone else but I clearly see a different global monetary system on tract and on it's way for this year or very early next year and it will be a massive shock to the majority, changes in the SWIFT system sched. for Nov. 2022 alone should make things very interesting.

WTF do banks care. If their gamble doesn't pay off, they just cry they are a societal necessity and get a bail out. Of course they are taking any and every moral hazard and risk. WTF is your point?

“There’s a contingent of clients who are looking to this asset as a hedge against inflation, and the macro backdrop
over the past year has certainly played into that,” Rich said.

Just a word of warning if you hold your crypto with the banksters you might as well hold cash.
If your crypto is not under your control as the saying goes if they are not your keys they are not your crypto.

of cryptocurrencies to offer related services to clients.
Here is how some of the biggest banks operating in the United States have gotten involved in crypto:

1st I could not care less about your opinions you are welcome to them, everyone has them right or wrong nor do I care if you get anything from whats shared
on this post or get the point whats so ever, it matters not to me.

With that being said there is a global "Currency War" and all that money leaving the money changers hands (legacy monetary systems) which at peak was 2.9+trillion
with far superior technology in many ways is definitely concerning to governments and their institution.
