MTF-HTF, my thesis is that the US holding Bitcoin triggers a Bitcoin Reserve Race as it legitimizes Bitcoin as a trusted asset class. If you look at the state level crypto/bitcoin legislation, it enables the state treasurer to either buy Bitcoin or any crypto asset that has maintained a marketcap of $500 billion in the past calendar year. As of now, that’s only Bitcoin.
Buy pressure is coming regardless. Golden bull.
STF, I have no idea.
Trusted friends.
Most, not all but most, creators are grifters. Either they have a substantial position already or are paid to market. Neither is favorable. Similar for random groups or secret communities to a lesser extent.
With that said, although the crypto space is much larger than most want to admit, it is manageable if you take your time in researching or by choosing one specific niche: protocol farming, technical analysis, or memecoins.
I use Coinbase. As much as it is left curve to admit this, I onboarded onto crypto with Coinbase, and the platform hasn't given me any trouble, yet. I suppose the marketing by Coinbase, ease of use, and any deposit bonuses are worth it for them as the value of a user is probably quite high.
@hubxyz@cryptopunks I would prioritize a new mint. Getting a hype whitelist almost guarantees a profit. The 1,011 Punks sale doesn't mean much to the average participant. Most OG collection holders are underwater. Many would sell on any substantial pump.
