A week ago, Cramer was telling everyone to hold Bitcoin out of the blue: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1ibw8mq/jim_cramer_says_hold_bitcoin_not_microstrategy/
Within days, BTC got to its lowest price of the year of 91.5k - which was close to a 3 month low since November of last year.
Altcoins got even more badly rekted, with many major alts losing close to 1/3 of their value on the daily chart. Shitcoins got rekted even worse.
This was the largest crypto liquidation ever (2 billion was wiped out), and this isn't the only major event Inverse Cramer has predicted. Let's look at other crazy accurate Inverse Cramer calls for each year which would have helped you to make a killing:
When Cramer is bearish, we are rightfully bullish.
And when Cramer is bullish, I see comments always saying "This time Inverse Cramer will fail" - but heck the hopium always fails. Cramer shoots, and he will miss the target 100% of the time!
I'm convinced that the only reason that the Inverse Cramer ETF didn't take off is because he himself started buying the ETF in the first place.
How Inverse Cramer so accurate with such astonishing accuracy? What are your thoughts on this?
Context: I am an Army Veteran with no technological background whatsoever. I was a grunt for the time that I served. I got into crypto currency as an investor about a year ago, and have been mining PI for four, so I have not been in the space long at all. My current career path is in retail management, and it utterly bores me. I want to do something that is going to challenge me in life, and allow me to solve complex issues. I have no college degree currently. I often find myself doing research on Crypto in my free time.
Question: What steps would I need to take as someone with no technological background in the field (or at all for that matter), in order to start a career in it?
Like the title says, I saw a post this morning about a transfer bonus glitch in coinbase(?).... but i cant find it now. Any help is appreciated.
basically, the idea was to xfer crypto (not sure what one...) form your own coin wallet back to itself, and it would give you the xfer bonus everytime, which you then exchange for a stable coin. rinse and repeat.
Does this sounds familliar to anyone? I cant imagine such an obvious exploit going unnoticed, but now that im off work id like to give it a try and and cannot find the post with the instructions. Surely someone else here saved it as well.
I spent a non-trivial amount of time, after essentially doing the same in the private market (another market, as a software dev) developing a machine learning system that can "technically" beat the curve (and HODL) by making accurate predictions using only market data, derived statistics, and optionally market attitude.
However, here's the rub: It is most accurate at 15-45 minute trading increments although on paper it beats 'HODL' up to around 2 hour increments. However, on live tests - due to transaction fees, spread, and volatility during sell/buy attempts, it can't beat historical 'hold' strategy in actual profit.
I've kept the project to myself though the development, but seeing as I've had it shelved for 5 months, I'm curious if this is a common fools-errand in the crypto world, or if there are others that have had real success in pursuing an ML-backed automated strategy?

My understanding of the current situation with XRP is that a judge has basically said “yes, early CRP offerings might have been securities, but the retail tokens are commodities.” And given the new administration and incoming SEC heads are pro-crypto and “anti” previous department stance, it would make sense for them to say “ok, because of the lack of clarity around crypto guidelines we are providing “retroactive relief” for issues that MIGHT have run afoul of traditional SEC rules, but because this is new territory and the SEC didn’t provide clear guidance we aren’t going to punish past actions.
Which sounds great for XRP.
Thoughts?
Story: A lifetime conman convinces tech bros that he's pro crypto when he only sees it as a grift. A ponzi scheme for the one who pulls the rug.
I fear this has ruined the legitimacy of crypto in large. It's going to take awhile to recover from this.
I'll continue to buy the dip and I hope those that truly believe in sound money do as well.
He can only last four years (Hopefully). Bitcoin and altcoins have survived worse than this.
Hold tight, friends. Remember that fiat is the ultimate enemy!
I got hooked when I turned $15k into $150k and then thought i was a genius. I kept pumping my salary into crypto there were ups and downs but end of the day I loss it all holding a coin when it went down all the way.
Stupid part was I purchased 10btc at the very beginning at 2017. But due to gambling problem i traded it away if I held would be a milly by now and much more in the future. Silly me.
Now im gonna put an end to this madness. Crypto can be very addictive and dangerous if u dont have the discipline like me.
People tend to look at previous bull runs to predict the current bull run. And going by that logic, we are only at the beginning. BTC should at least go to 150k, ETH has been far below expectations and alt season is nowhere to be found. That's why everyone believes that the big gains are still to come.
But what if something significant happened since 2020? Something that makes this bull run and every future bull run very different from the previous ones?
I can't pin-point it and I don't have the evidence. But I think there has been a major shift between 2020 and 2025. It feels like in every previous bull run, it was mostly private individuals that were investing and fighting against each other to time the best point to take profits and get out. But ever since 2020, the richest people and institutions in the world have started to take crypto seriously, because they saw how much money one can make, and that it does happen repeatedly in cycles.
This might change the dynamic of how the entire crypto market works. The crypto market swings in whichever direction BTC goes, and the people who can influence BTC the most are the ones with the most money and the most insider knowledge. Yes, this has always been the case. But I feel like the big new investors (which are literally the most powerful forces on the planet) have these resources available to such an amount, that it dwarfs even the other conventional whales.
If such investors and institutions have the power to manipulate the BTC course at will, why do you still think that another BTC rise to 150k - 180k will come? They can just dump BTC by 10k and make you FUD out, then buy your lost coins, pump it till you are optimistic enough to invest again, and repeat this spiel indefinitely.
No more super crashes that make you pull out entirely. Just regular dumps that just keep you on the edge of hoping that the next retrace will be different. And very slowly but steadily, more and more crypto will travel from the average joe's wallet to the richest.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but this feels nothing like 2020 or 2017. It feels like this time, crypto has become so influential that it attracted the institutions that are powerful enough to rig the system. What do you think?
I received a text that said Coinbase detected an unusual login attempt on my account and asked if it was legit. I responded “N” and it basically said a rep would call me shortly. A rep called and sent me an email with my investigation case # and 12 key words or something and then told me to download the Coinbase Wallet app. I suppose I use these keywords for the wallet. I’m new to Coinbase. Does this sound legit?? I said I wanted to call coinbase’s official phone # and he said I could do that but he was trying to secure my account and I’d probably be on hold for a long time if I call. I told him to call me back in 20 mins cuz I’m on a conference call for work. What do you think??
Cryptocurrency has a place in the future of currency, which is vital in any economy. However, it digital asset based on a blockchain network, which means the system is decentralized, outside the control of any regulatory authority, except at the points of exchange.
The decentralization and volatility in the nature of cryptocurrency make it seen as a form of haram due to fiqh and Islamic finance policy. However, there's news going on that there are some newly created cryptocurrencies that comply with Shariah and Islamic finance policy.
With the Islamic finance stance on gharar, can a good Islamic crypto project be seen?
Lately, I’ve been digging into real-world asset tokens, and xU308 keeps coming up in conversations about uranium. If you think about the bullish outlook on nuclear energy, it’s not shocking to see interest in uranium creeping into crypto markets.
Upside: Could open uranium investing to a global audience, potentially increasing liquidity.
Risks: Regulatory clarity, actual proof of physical backing, and how stable the supply chain is.
Has anyone here done a deep dive? I’m on the fence and could use some community insight.
