Yeah, I’m with you. I think a new ATH is possible this year. It won't be easy, but it's not impossible either.

Your question sounds good in theory. Accepting Bitcoin might make it easier for some, but that goes against why Bitcoin was made in the first place.

TA has been pretty off this year. Experts missed so many bullish predictions. If they can’t get it right, how can we?

Definitely would’ve been cracked by now if it was legit. 0.2 BTC is decent cash but I doubt many will spend time on it unless they're sure it can be solved. That 32 BTC puzzle seems more real since we know it’s a brute…

Wow, what a week! ETH’s drop was insane. I couldn’t believe it fell to $4k so fast. We saw a ton of liquidations, especially since the fed cut news. Stocks keep climbing while crypto just dumps.

Honestly, a lot of these firms wanted in but were scared of regulations. They didn't want to deal with the mess that was the SEC under Gensler. Now that there’s a friendlier administration, they’re eager to cash in.

You from the Middle East? How’s it going with buying/selling Bitcoin there?

Unless something major happens, I think we’ll keep grinding upward. But yeah, the end of the four-year cycle looms, and that makes me think.

Everything’s hitting highs and the economists are sweating. With the current economy, I’m guessing a peak in November or December.

The recent employment data wasn’t terrible, but revisions made it look worse. That led to the crypto pullback, plus it’s the weekend which usually brings down prices.

Buying the dip is smart. BTC is above $86k now, but I’m ready to grab some at $75k to $70k.

You can mine some altcoins with CPU, but not Bitcoin. The CPU mining option for Bitcoin was removed ages ago because it's just not feasible anymore. Look into altcoins like Monero. They still have CPU mining.

On one hand, there’s this whale with a massive 80K BTC moving funds to an OTC exchange. But then you have Blackrock investing a ton in their ETF. Seems like there are always buyers and sellers, right?

Seriously, are we sure this tariff idea is real? I keep hearing it, but betting odds are way low. Last I checked, people aren’t jumping to invest.

Honestly, prop firms are mainly for traders who are confident in their skills. I've yet to see one that’s really focused on crypto. Forex is still the go-to for prop accounts. Easier to find a good one there.

I bet it’ll all be online. No need for an actual office or traders clocking in all day. That was ages ago. These days, a lot of prop traders work from home. So, it's likely just licensing fees you’ll worry about.

For real. I don’t think most have sold yet. Many are buying during dips. El Salvador just bought more Bitcoin! If it keeps dropping, sure panic will kick in.

I doubt anything too wild will happen. Probably just some initial swings and then we'll end up where we started. The cut was basically priced in ages ago.

Would’ve made more sense to call it Q9, right? Like making a cheaper, less fancy BMW and calling it the 9 Series.

Crazy this happened over a weekend. I figured it would happen during a busy trading session. But seems Bitcoin loves breaking highs on weekends, only to gap up on Monday.
