    Crypto Bull Market Top Signal Dashboard

    I would love to be able to reference a dashboard with metrics that help predict the top of the bull market - less concerned about selling Bitcoin, but it's difficult to determine when to sell alt coins. I can think of a few indicators I would want to reference:

    (1) Indicators that retail has entered the market: Crypto google searches, Youtube video views, Coinbase ranking on the app store

    (2) General crypto market metrics: Total crypto market cap, bitcoin dominance, alt coin season indicators

    Does anyone have any good one stop shop recommendations for this information, or am I better off building it myself.

    BEAM Node Validator Update

    Hello everyone, I want to bring your attention to the new update from Avax called ETNA, which will enable the BEAM token (Merit Cycle) to become a Layer 1 solution. This update will require validators to process transactions, which is why BEAM Nodes have been introduced.

    If you're interested in learning more, check out Hashratebull on YouTube. Note that the price of the nodes will increase on Sunday, December 22.

    Sending crypto

    Hi, I am looking to send my Polkadot from Revolut exchange to my Binance web3 wallet, I know that it’s supported on the Binance web3 wallet as i seen it on CMC, but I’m not sure what chain to use? I tried copying the Bnb address but it says it’s an incompatibility address. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction

    Is this a resonable stragedy?

    I'm holding a few coins since a few years now and unfortunately bought in shortly before the market droped. Lately I was thinking of a stragedy, how I could trick fomo and emotional selling/buying to finally make some profits in the following bullruns. So I thought I will set some numbers which are carved in stone, and when the coins are reaching them, THAN and only than I'm selling, no matter how many bullruns it takes.

    Is that a good base for trading or any other tips? I mean I do want to invest and get some profits for a house some day, but on the other hand nobody can predict the market and it drives me crazy, I just don't get how this "buy the dip and sell at high prices" stragedy should work without a crystal ball

    Thank you and sorry if I used false english, tried to avoid a translator for some practice :)

    Re-structure of portfolio! Opinions welcomed

    I’ve been into crypto for about a year now. I’ve made some decent profits and currently hold a few different coins which consists of. Dogecoin XRP Hedera Stellar lumen And SUI

    I’m trying to work out my next move before the possible next leg up. I’m thinking of selling my doge once it’s back up to 30p and changing my bag so it holds XRP Hedera Ethereum Sui I’m swaying towards ICP and Chainlink too but not sure on whether it’s a good option. I’d rather stay away from memes now as I want to aim for coins with real use and future based applications. Thoughts on this at all?

    Stocks & crypto

    Hey guys,

    I’ve been investing in stocks for quite some time now- crypto I did back in 2017 but due to life I lost interest in the game but got back into it last fall.

    Now my stock portfolio has seen steady gains throughout the years with decent profits. I’m now considering selling some of the stock and reinvest these funds into crypto. Of course I know this market is much more volatile- but also much more fun to take part of.

    Have some of you guys made similar decions and how did it work out?

    Cheers 🎄

    All coins following bitcoin is stupid idea

    If I would like to invest in bitcoin I would just buy bitcoin.

    What’s even the point at buying different coins now when they can not depeg from bitcoin, is it really that hard to find it’s own trajectory. This make investing in crypto currency so boring.

    Even big projects like solana or Ethereum follow bitcoin. I don’t really understand what is the point of this whole.

    This is such bs

    Why haven't altcoins like Ethereum and Solana hit new all-time highs during this bull run?

    You'd think altcoins would also hit new all-time highs like they typically do during Bitcoin bull runs, especially when Bitcoin finally hit $100K. But strangely that hasn't happened yet. Ethereum peaked at around $4800 in 2021 when Bitcoin reached its then-ATH of $68K, and so did Solana when it reached $250 around that same time. So I would imagine those two alts would skyrocket well beyond those ATHs during this bull run after BTC finally hit the six-figure mark. But it still hasn't happened yet; in fact they haven't even reached their 2021 ATHs yet. I know people will say "Just give it time, it will happen" but it has never taken this long after BTC hits a new peak, especially for ETH. Did those alts truly peak in 2021, and will they never reach it again? Or is something else up?

    Need help understanding crypto trading

    I’m a professional trader and investor in equity and debt markets however I’ve come to believe that crypto is the inevitable takeover and I don’t wanna miss on it. I also do think that I don’t want to waste time learning the same things I did during my process learning to trade and invest since I know these two markets are very similar can I have some help in knowing what to avoid and what to focus on during my research and development for crypto trading, also what are the factors I cannot miss out on researching?

    Is this normal? Scam or normal

    Just went to open Binance on my iPhone, which is in the usual finance folder along with the apps for banking. I was surprised to see two Binance apps? Worried about potential scammed I haven’t proceeded to open either app. I don’t recall downloading another Binance app or wallet. Both say Binance with the Binance logo and I would presume that if the app was updated, manually or automatically, it would update the existing app rather than create another app.

    Has anyone had similar experiences?

    Shiba Inu and Altseason

    Let’s talk about Shiba Inu and why 2025 might be shaping up to be a huge year. Bitcoin is sitting at its channel median, and historically, when Bitcoin dominance starts to dip, it’s the signal for altseason to kick off. With momentum building, Shiba Inu is positioned to take advantage of what could be the next big wave.

    Shiba Inu isn’t just another meme coin anymore (it’s evolving into something much bigger). Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 blockchain, has added real utility to the ecosystem, making transactions faster and cheaper while paving the way for new applications. On top of that, ongoing token burns are tightening the supply, creating scarcity that could lead to higher demand and price gains.

    The community is another key factor. Shiba Inu has one of the most passionate and active followings in the crypto space, which has been instrumental in driving adoption and keeping interest alive. When you pair this with broader adoption trends (billionaires and institutional investors diversifying into crypto), it’s clear that Shiba Inu has captured more than just retail attention.

    One of Shiba Inu’s strongest advantages is its accessibility. It remains affordable for new investors while offering significant upside potential. This makes it a prime candidate to benefit from FOMO as more people start looking for altcoins to ride during altseason.

    Of course, no investment is without risk. The Fed’s monetary policy remains a potential headwind. If inflation spikes or the Fed changes course, liquidity in the market could shrink, impacting crypto prices. Additionally, while Shiba Inu’s utility is growing, it still has work to do in shaking off its meme coin origins in the eyes of some investors.

    Despite the risks, Shiba Inu’s strong community, growing ecosystem, and improving fundamentals make it a compelling option. It’s not just riding the crypto wave (it’s building something sustainable for the future). If altseason unfolds as expected, Shiba Inu could easily be one of the standout performers.

    For those with diamond hands, the long-term potential here is undeniable. The signals are strong, the momentum is building, and the opportunity feels real.

    So what's the move, HODL, diamond hands, or wait it out? Let’s hash it out and talk strategies.

    Secret formula to win the crypto game?

    Some may think winning in this crypto game is about being first to enter coins with "good developer teams and fundamentals".

    Others may look at market cycles or indicators to catch up with market makers.

    But if there is one important thing to learn, as this guy has said, it'll be this:

    https://x.com/Moneytaur_/status/1869423361006182843

    The most entertaining outcome, and least profitable for the herd, is the most likely.

    Don't think like the herd.

    Why not real coins?

    I know the bull market is not over and we have all of 2025 left to go but why meme coins?

    Everyone is gambling on fart coin when we are 14 years into cryptos existence and the projects that are actually trying to change the world are easy to find. We have ICP, AMP, ADA, RIO, PROPY, etc etc - these projects have actual teams and are trying to solve real problems and advance the blockchain.

    …….but meanwhile Fartcoin, PePe, ChillGuy and every other meme coin have market caps bigger than most blue chip tech companies…….make it make sense.

    Could someone please explain me logical reasons for the crash?

    Well bad time to be a beginner I guess. I just started investing (first being crypto) 10 days back when everything was fine! And now here I am lol. So what were the reasons for market crash? (All the markets I mean). Was it due to the fact that rate cuts would be less than anticipated next year (which was new information)? Are there more factors at play here? I do genuinely want to learn and understand.

    Edit: So I am 19 and studying at uni so losing even a tiny bit of money is painful 😣. Well thank god I did invest a relatively less amount so yeah.

    Edit 2: If anyone wants to know, well I also made another dumb mistake. I bought VANA when it was peaking. I did read their background and actually thought their use case was decent. Okay I admit I was greedy! But yeah I lost 'some' there before the rates announcement. But I learnt later that one shouldn't invest when a coin is already past 10x and it will likely dip.

    What happened today at 7 AM EST?

    Look at BTC,ETH, HBAR, ADA, BNB, XLM, LINK, and AAVE(that I know of).

    They all bottomed out and started going up around that time, in the case of BTC and ETH within 15 min of each other.

    Why is that? I would expect strong similarities as BTC pulls the entire market but not this level of precision.

    I looked in the news and nothing happened at that time of significance that I can find.

    Thoughts?

    Why are so many people saying that liquidating leverage is good for the market?

    Seems a bit like something that is said to sound bullish after a big dip someone will say something like: "The market rarely breaks new ground until the leverage is taken out of the market. Now that the longs have been liquidated, we may have a chance to actually move up."

    I can see how deleveraging the market could lead to less volatility in the long run but is there technical explanation for why the market would move higher in the short/medium term?

    Data science person for 10+ years. I mess around with predictive BTC models to make life interesting. This week's dip didn't really make a difference in model outcomes.

    I focus on predicting the price of a thing (say, bitcoin) 1-100 days into the future, based on a bucket of features that includes past crypto price movements, the stock market, currencies, and other stuff that makes up the secret sauce.

    A couple days before the election, my bitcoin model predicted a price of about $84k on February 1, 2025 (it was at about $69k at the time). The election and aftermath fucked it all up, and I've finally gotten back to the point where I'll bet that I have solid predictions in the new reality.

    This model now expects a BTC price of $105,790 on Feb 1, 2025 and a price of $108,557 on March 29 (100 days forward). Perhaps more interestingly, it doesn't expect the price to rise all that much until the second half of January 2025. About a week ago, before the recent declines in price, the model predicted $104,253 on Feb 1. So, in other words, it doesn't really care about ~the dip~.

    R²: 0.9151 for those who care about that sort of thing.

    I have a simple site where I post updates about this model, but not linking to it in the post because I'm not sure if that breaks the rules. I'll share in the comments if people are curious. And also: all market predictions are wrong.

    For the new people... Identifying a good investment.

    When viewing a new crypto project, here's the list of questions you should probably ask yourself about them...

    1. Does it have any real world use, or is it a meme that is useless? - If it's a meme with no use (Google: "Beanie Babies"), know what you're getting in to. Pure gambling. The creator of the coin, and the insiders, will win every time. You may win, but it's HIGHLY likely you'll end up as a "bag holder" of a million coins that no one wants to buy. So look for a coin with real world use, or, just know that you're playing a rigged Beanie Baby game. There is definitely money to be made, but it's highly unfair, it's rigged, and there's low chance of success. Good luck.

    2.a. Security (cryptography/quantum) - Without top tier crypto security, a network is useless. It must be future proof (quantum secure/proof) and not be able to be cracked, or at least easily updatable. You wouldn't want to have any network go down for any period of time to reconfigure security.

    If it's not SHA384 AES256 minimum, cryptographically speaking, then THROW IT OUT. Highest security or it's not worth it.

    2.b. Security (Decentralized system) -

    asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) is the best security as far as "decentralized systems" (DLTs) are concerned. pBFT, BFT, etc are NOT the same.

    If it doesn't have aBFT for security, THROW IT OUT.

    1. Scalability - is it infinite? Can it handle the worlds TPS? That's cool to take a onesie twosie use case here and there, but how much is that worth? The network should be capable of handling the worlds transactions, as well as exponentially expanded. Infinite.

    If it's not infinite, THROW IT OUT!

    1. Decentralized - How does the chain come to consensus? Is there a (centralized) "block leader"? Is there frontrunning? MEV? Trade sniping? If so, the chain is useless. Not only is it unfair (block leader can affect order of transactions or consensus), but it's a single point of failure from a security perspective. Attack the leader, shut down the network.

    Leaderless consensus is the most democratic (all nodes equally participate), and there's no single point of failure. If there is a "block leader", THROW IT OUT.

    1. Fees - Are the gas fees variable? Do the fees depend on the coin price? This means two things.

    One, not only is there incentive for high volume users to keep the price of the coin low (price low, fees low), but the fees aren't predictable either. No one can build an actual business on something they can't forecast...

    Two, coins that have their fees tied to the coin price are inherently designed NOT to scale. As the coin price increases, so do the fees, and therefore will throttle the traffic (due to increasing fees to transact). The gas fees act as a throttle.

    If the gas fees aren't fixed price in USD, THROW IT OUT.

    Good luck on your crypto investing!

    ETH is the biggest shitcoin, 3 reasons to sell

    1. Risk is equal as all shit altcoins, it drops equally so

    much, but goes up % less then all other shits

    1. Constantly losing market share in smart contracts due to new and old competition, market is more and more diluted

    2. Because Ethereum foundation and whales are very scammy and will always make you buy the top and sell the bottom, look up Ethereum foundation it’s somehow always selling on the top, they withdrawl your hard earned money from time to time and ETH is a way of you transferring your wealth to them

    What is happening with this meme?

    I just started sniping meme coins, and everything was alright, but I bought this meme (MOUDY), and I can't sell it. Even the coins do not appear in my wallet, but they do appear in TXNS. I assume that those coins are locked. If someone can explain this to me I´d be grateful.
