Anyone that is celebrating thinking that BTC or ETH is dead either doesn’t realize how integrated into our investing it has already become, is clueless and just let’s an advisor blindly handle their shite, or cannot envision any evolution.
All the major players have already gotten into the space on these. The Blackrock, Fileldity, whoever have already gotten in over the last few years. These are the players that put the clamps on congress when they had provisions about taxing miners last year. They own major percentages of all these publicly traded companies that are handling BTC and ETH.
If these don’t bounce back I will be pretty certain the USD has failed with how much these have already integrated into our system. And what does that mean for everything?
I don’t own coins but invest in stock of companies that deal with crypto that have gotten their shite kicked in. I am of the mind set that crypto, blockchains, etc in some form will be our next evolution in currency or transactions. Not this straight replacement. Currency and transactions have always evolved.
People used to trade goats. In my life time everyone used to just have cash, then slowly went to plastic, now people do everything on their phones without even taking out a card. Currency and transactions will continue to evolve. Might be that the USD just ends up a digital currency. I don’t know. But it will evolve into something in this realm.l if it all doesn’t fail from the current policies.
We are still very early in BTC and ETH. I am sure cars and airplanes weren’t the biggest shite worldwide after just 10 years. They had some traction and then took over. I feel this is the time to get with some actual derisk because it is now intertwined into the system.
Now if you are buying shite coins like doge or worse then crap like that will fail with every crypto winter.

What about the threads from the crash 4 years ago where the board was filled with people dancing on crypto graves? Up ~600% from then. The naysayers are usually right for short periods of time until they aren't.
And the interesting psychology here is the way you just admitted that all the crypto naysayers were right in such a bitter and backhanded way

People, you aren't late. PulseChain will launch and this group will be the next Wikitigers.
Here is the PulseChain thread on the money board.

Bitcoin was supposed to be impervious to macroeconomic forces. That hasn’t proven the case either, with crypto traders reacting to soaring inflation numbers and traditional metrics such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly jobs report.
Institutional investor.com
Please don't act like that wasn't one of the main benefits being pumped by crypto people many years ago. Because it was. Yes it is a volatile market, but it wasn't supposed to be tied to traditional markets in any way. That was a giant selling point. Hence the "decentralized" selling point.

The biggest criticism of Pulse and PulseX is that they are directly connected to Hex, a controversial token that has performed well in terms of price but with questionable fundamentals.
According to Richard Heart [A PulseChain project leader and founder of Hex], Hex aims to be the blockchain’s [Pulsechain’s] native certificate of deposit.
As it stands, Hex facilitates no service, does not generate value via loans, nor has widespread adoption as a digital currency.
So where does the high annual APY come from? The high returns are maintained entirely by the purchase of new Hex that is not staked, which is the classic Ponzi scheme.

Using HEX that's still up 200,000% in two years is probably not the best example.
What does HEX have to do with PulseChain?

Is PulseChain Hard Fork A Scam?
There is a growing number of voices that are pointing out concerns with the new fork. These arguments tend to be focused on the founder, Richard Heart. They point out issues with the sacrifice phase and some potentially questionable transactions with HEX, Richard’s first crypto project.
The common theme across the concerns is how much money ends up with the founder Richard Heart.
PulseChain Sacrifice Phase Raises Suspicions
In the summer of 2021, there was a period where users could ‘sacrifice’ ERC20 tokens. Depending on the amount and timing of the sacrifice, you would get a multiplier on the PLS tokens you would receive after the fork. The larger and earlier in the period you sacrificed, the larger the multiplier.
People have questioned what the sacrifice wallet was for and suspect it is just a personal wallet of the founder Richard Heart. Additionally, at the time of the fork, there will be no value to the PLS token. So users are sacrificing a known value for a valueless token. I was unable to find any indication that the sacrificed tokens were going to be used to provide liquidity or value to the new chain. This has lead to questions if the sacrifice is just a big payday for Richard himself.
However, note that users could sacrifice to SENS.org, an organization researching ways to fight age-related diseases. Donating to SENS instead of Richard gave 25% less benefit to the user. Even with the slightly lower amount, $25 million was raised for the organization.
The PulseChain sacrifice wallet looks to have nearly $200 million in it. Even more incredibly, the PulseX sacrifice is claiming to have nearly $1 Billion. (PulseX is a decentralized exchange (DEX) fork of uniswap for the upcoming PulseChain).
Yes. This means $1.2 Billion just got sacrificed to what is speculated to be Richard Heart’s personal wallet if these numbers are accurate. However, keep reading as there is rumors that a lot of the sacrifice is just the founder pumping his own bags by cycling money through repeatedly.
Hex’s Launch Raise Suspicion About Richard Heart
Richard Heart’s previous project was the Hex Token. It is a highly marketed token that compares itself to extremely high-yielding certificate of deposits (CDs).
There was a similar ‘donation event’ at the beginning of the Hex initial coin offering (ICO). Users could donate ETH to a wallet and receive HEX token. However, they could not swap back HEX for ETH with the same wallet. Again, the suspicion is this wallet is Richard’s and he was able to just keep the ETH and exchange a ‘valueless’ newly minted token.

Hex APY comes from inflation, which is 3.69% of the total supply. This is paid out to stakers based on the amount of T-shares you have. For example, if your T-share amount is 1% of all T-shares, your cut is 1% of the inflation paid out.

These crypto “projects” all look the same. They’ve really honed in on what sort of graphic sells to the younger, gullible crowd.

Richard Heart is probably the safest founder in crypto. He is a multi billionaire that has been retired since 2003. The dude was mining 50 BTC blocks and didn't need the money. Richard writes self help books and raises millions for charity. Which founder is safer than Richard?

His Twitter profile is a giant red flag. If I were to make a parody account for a financial investments scammer I couldn’t do better.

that disclaimer looks great to me... Passes the Howey Test.
