Imagine you sold your tokens because someone on the internet whose avatar is an animal, on how there will be a huge dump before the halving.
Consider the reality that a Bitcoin ETF has been approved and there's speculation about an Ethereum ETF on the horizon.
With inflation soaring, and the person urging you to sell having been forced out of their position, aiming to drag others down with them, would you truly want to admit to yourself that you sold under such circumstances?
Take some, but don't crack under pressure and end up staying sidelined!

The Nvidia GTC24 conference is currently happening, and we have seen many AI coins like $WLD , $NEAR and $RNDR shoot off more than 300%, some close to All-Time-Highs.
The combined market capitalization of AI and GameFi sectors could realistically reach between $100 billion and $120 billion within the next year during this bull run.
We're poised to witness numerous coins achieving 20x to 30x growth, escalating from market caps of $10 million to $30 million up to $300 million to $1 billion!
I still do anticipate several 40% corrections and periods of stagnation, especially as we near Halving.
The best strategy during these times is to stay calm and take no action.
Selling AI-centric coins amidst a bull market, especially one driven by AI frontrunner Nvidia, which boasts a valuation in the trillions, would be stupid!
These sectors are expected to outperform as the market recovers.

Bears will struggle to dominate until the inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs ceases.
The previous week recorded a net inflow of over 30,000 BTC into spot ETFs. Significant holders such as exchanges and miners possess roughly 3 million BTC, with US-based entities accounting for 1.5 million of that total.
At the current pace, a crisis in sell-side liquidity could emerge within the next six months.
Bitcoin is presently undergoing a phase of price discovery.
Should a sell-side liquidity crunch materialize, the subsequent peak in Bitcoin's cycle could surpass expectations, propelled by scarce sell-side liquidity and a slim order book.
This scenario is likely once the total holdings of accumulation addresses approach the 3 million BTC mark.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust has swiftly gathered $10 billion in assets within a mere seven weeks, setting a record for the quickest time an ETF has reached this mark. In contrast, it took the inaugural gold ETF over two years to achieve the same milestone.
Following the approval of the Gold ETF, its supply was expanded to bring more gold into the market. Currently, the demand for Bitcoin is skyrocketing, while its supply is set to halve in just 44 days.
This is an unprecedented event in human history. Bitcoin will be worth so much more.

The past few days have witnessed significant positive net investments in BTC ETFs, following a period of reduced selling in GBTC. This trend has been a key factor in boosting BTC's price and may further elevate it if the robust inflows persist. Historically, BTC has not reached a new all-time high (ATH) prior to a BTC halving event. Should it achieve a new ATH this time, it would mark a novel phase attributed to the influence of ETFs.

The potential ETF approval could significantly affect Ethereum (ETH) in the coming months, possibly leading to a surge in ETH buying. This contrasts with the sell-off seen with BTC after its ETF approval, as the market might not react similarly with ETH due to learned experiences. Instead, ETH might see continued investment post-approval.
Other altcoins may temporarily lag behind BTC and ETH due to this ETF-driven focus but could gain momentum later. Medium-term prospects for altcoins look promising due to several factors: their valuations often follow ETH's lead; the Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi is affected by ETH and L1/L2 token prices; and increased valuations for new tokens could boost airdrop values, drawing more investment into these protocols and elevating their Fully Diluted Valuations (FDVs).
BTC ETF inflows can start a positive feedback loop within the broader crypto ecosystem. However, this effect could reverse with declining ETF inflows. The allure of rising prices, driven by FOMO, underscores the importance of monitoring ETF inflows, which are currently guiding BTC's short-term price trajectory.

In less than a day, $PIXEL has generated a trading volume of 1.2 billion USD.
This volume surpasses that of the nearest gaming token by nearly 1 billion USD, positioning $PIXEL among the top 10 most traded tokens in the past 24 hours.
Now is clearly not the moment to underestimate the gaming sector.
I'm leaning towards a bullish stance on this coin/game, anticipating it could be the next AXS (Axie). Currently, the price stands at $0.55.
When $AXS was initially on Binance, its market capitalization was around $8 million.
Comparatively, $PIXEL now, with a market cap of $400 million, may not see the same astronomical growth of 100 to 1000 times.
However, achieving a 10 to 20 times increase in value over the long term appears to be a more real expectation.
Given that the GameFi sector is anticipated to outperform its previous season, the potential for $PIXEL 's growth is considerable.
For those with substantial capital looking for a reliable investment opportunity, $PIXEL , being a top contender in the #Web3 gaming space, stands out as a prime selection.

The introduction of passive Bitcoin investments through ETFs represents a significant shift from past trends.
Previously, this form of capital was unable to engage, but now it's actively participating.
This has unexpectedly improved the situation, as the inflow of funds in the initial month surpassed predictions.
Observing $400M in daily Bitcoin purchases and significant institutions incorporating Bitcoin into their diversified ETFs makes it difficult to remain on the sidelines.
The volume of transactions occurring a month post-launch is remarkable.
Such activity is significantly boosting the altcoin market.
Forecasting short-term movements is risky in this novel environment.
However, the direction for the medium to long term appears evident.
The best strategy might simply be to wait and watch.

$SUI
Among the top performers currently, $SUI is revisiting its previous all-time high from a higher standpoint, and it seems quite plausible for its price exploration to proceed from this point, honestly.

These types of graphs become widespread when a bullish trend has definitively commenced. Numerous coins are either still near the bottom of their range or are just initiating their first upward movement. In time, many are likely to mimic this trajectory, forming a substantial rounded bottom that leads to unprecedented highs not conceivable right now.
The market will present numerous opportunities; the key is not to rush the journey and all should turn out well🤝. Just steer clear of following misleading advice from scam influencers🤫.

Did we get it wrong predicting $JUP 's rise to $1? It seems so at a glance, yet not entirely. Our initial understanding didn't fully capture the novel launch mechanics at play. The demand was clear, with $125m driving $JUP to $0.7. Normally, such a launch would have seen the price targets met.
However, the outcome was different due to JupiterExchange's pricing strategy. By setting explicit DLMM price parameters, it inadvertently capped trader enthusiasm at $0.7. This level marked the end of DLMM liquidity, theoretically allowing for significant price exploration.
Significant trading took place off-exchange, notably on WhalesMarket, with HGEABC securing about 9 million tokens. JupiterExchange's abundant liquidity provision dampened any sharp price movements, favoring accumulators but not traders or volatility enthusiasts.
A hypothetical $1m USDC buy-in shows a stark difference in slippage between JUP (1.32%) and PYTH (32.7%), illustrating how, under normal circumstances, $125m could have significantly elevated JUP's post-launch price.
Key takeaways include:
- The launch strategy worked as intended, ensuring fairness and transparency in the token debut.
- With the upcoming removal of JupiterExchange's DLMM pools, the circulating supply will adjust, potentially boosting the token's value whether it stabilizes above $0.7 or drops below $0.4.

- Expect bullish announcements, possibly about staking, as JupiterExchange seeks to maximize its funding before the DLMM pool's withdrawal.
- The return of market volatility post-DLMM pool removal should attract traders back, increasing volume and possibly kickstarting a significant price rally.
I'm holding onto my airdropped shares, seeing potential ahead.

Regarding supply, the initial token release is set at 1.35 billion tokens, representing 13.5% of the total supply. However, it's anticipated that not all tokens will be claimed, as seen in similar scenarios with other tokens, where some wallets date back to 2021/22. Therefore, a more realistic total supply estimation is around 1.15 billion tokens, potentially even lower in the first 24 hours.
As for the market capitalization, the token, referred to as Jupiter, requires a market cap of $1.15 billion to achieve a price of $1 per token, based on the 1.15 billion tokens in circulation. This is compared to another token, $PYTH, which reached a market cap of $0.8 billion on its first day.
Regarding pricing, the initial launch price is announced at $0.4, with an expected increase over time to reach $0.7. This projection is based on a specific pricing curve, indicating that the price increase could be quite rapid.

In a comparative analysis:

Jupiter recently matched trading volumes with Uniswap. If Jupiter were to achieve Uniswap's market cap, its price could nearly triple to almost $3. However, considering Ethereum's significantly larger market cap, a more conservative estimate for Jupiter's price floor would be around $0.528. The analyst believes Jupiter has a stronger product lineup and team compared to Uniswap, suggesting a potential long-term advantage for Jupiter over Uniswap.
Lastly, pre-market data from WhalesMarket indicates a token price of $0.7. This price point is considered a good indicator for initial trading performance, as observed with another token, $WEN. In the long term, it's expected that Jupiter will surpass this initial pricing, especially given recent interest from whales, Solana OGs, and venture capitalists, who have been purchasing substantial amounts of Jupiter tokens over the counter.

Identifying Cycle Top Signals:
- Coinbase Becoming #1 in AppStore: Suggests peak mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies, often a sign of market euphoria.
- Uninformed Friends Outperforming You: When individuals with little market experience start making significant profits, it indicates a speculation-driven market.
- Media Optimism About No More Bear Markets: Excessive bullishness in mainstream media can be a contrarian signal, often occurring at market tops.
- Influx of Newcomers from Web2 and Venture Capitalists: A sudden rush of investments from new market players, especially those inexperienced in crypto, can signify overheating.
- Surge in Luxury Watch Sales: An increase in luxury goods purchases can indicate excessive disposable income from speculative gains.
- Revival of Legacy Coins: Older cryptocurrencies hitting all-time highs suggests a broad-based market frenzy.
- Increase in Cryptocurrency-themed Tattoos and Music Videos: A rise in cultural phenomena around cryptocurrencies can be symptomatic of peak market hype.
- High-Profile Figures Re-entering the Market: Celebrities or well-known figures re-entering the market could indicate a FOMO-driven environment.

Expect further market consolidation, driven by complex factors beyond brief explanation, such as specific crypto-market dynamics, macroeconomic conditions, adoption rates, and product development. Recent over-exuberance suggests a need for market sobriety.
Predicting Bitcoin to potentially drop to $30-36K to establish a local bottom, with a possibility of dipping into the mid-to-high $20Ks before moving towards previous all-time highs. This journey will likely be tumultuous, with misleading rallies and a prolonged timeframe.
Patience remains crucial. If this assessment holds, expect other cryptocurrencies to decline more steeply in percentage terms compared to Bitcoin. Future market commentary may be limited, given the lack of reward for such predictions, especially without seeking fame. Regardless of the outcome, my long-term stance on investments remains unchanged.
Responding to the idea that we're just beginning this cycle, I generally concur. Having identified the cycle's bottom around November 2022, I maintain confidence in the enduring upward trend. My recent discussions focus on short-term peaks and troughs, not cycle-wide extremities.
However, it's important to acknowledge the recent formation and breakdown of the cycle's first parabolic trends, coupled with an uncertain macroeconomic landscape. While new innovations in the crypto space are promising, they are not fully realized yet. This doesn't imply a major reduction in risk, but rather a strategic recalibration and readiness.

Despite the current neutral or slightly positive trend in some altcoins and $BTC, I'm not convinced that we've reached the market's lowest point yet.
Yes, these conditions are still tradable in the short term, say, over the next few days.
However, for most people, the wiser choice might be to hold steady and practice patience. Gradually averaging into the market (DCA) or scaling in is advisable.
My perspective is that we might still encounter lower levels in the weeks ahead, and the current market movements are likely just brief respites.
Nevertheless, looking at the bigger picture, the outlook remains positive for many of these cryptocurrencies. Corrections of 30-50% are quite normal in the broader context. My advice is to keep scouting for solid projects that resonate with you and strategically place your orders. It's crucial not to invest everything into a single project.
Here's a strategy to consider:
- Maintain a baseline long position in crypto, considering the current market environment.
- Systematically invest (DCA) in projects that you find promising.
- Focus your portfolio on fewer than ten cryptocurrencies that you truly believe in (too much diversification isn't always beneficial).
- Always have some liquidity at hand.
- Be prepared for high-risk, high-reward scenarios in the next 6-12 months and embrace the journey.
- And importantly, don't neglect your regular work or income sources.

Regardless of differing opinions, the reality is altcoins are mirroring the accumulation patterns seen just before the significant 2017 bull run.
Altcoin Dominance is gearing up for a breakthrough into uncharted pricing areas, much like in 2017.The original altcoins are in the midst of significant accumulation phases.The total market capitalization of altcoins closely resembles the pre-2017 bull run setup.These factors indicate potential life-changing investment opportunities.

The upcoming cycle is set to surpass expectations. While discussions continue about Bitcoin potentially falling to $10,000, I'm preparing for a much larger movement.
- The future of altcoins and their potential for another major cycle can be gauged by examining their Bitcoin pairings. The last cycle never saw Bitcoin dominance reach a new all-time low, indicating that altseason occurs when they surpass their Bitcoin ratios.
- The 2017 cycle, particularly in comparison to 2020-2021, was unique as altcoins were in uncharted pricing territory against Bitcoin. Even Ethereum didn't break out against Bitcoin, highlighting how modest the last cycle was compared to 2017.
- Observing altcoins from 2017, we see significant accumulation against Bitcoin. This suggests Bitcoin whales are shifting their profits from Bitcoin to these altcoins, hinting at the possibility of another bull run akin to 2017.
- It seems that many have overlooked the altcoins from 2017, primarily because the spotlight was on newer markets like Metaverse, DeFi, and NFTs. The older altcoins didn't perform as well, leading to widespread skepticism, which I refer to as "Disbelief."
- By examining the USD pairs of these altcoins, we see clear signs of accumulation and the onset of new cycles. There's nothing bearish about these trends, and they're signaling the early stages of a bull run similar to 2017. Underestimating them would be a mistake.

Everyone, here's a crucial point to consider:
Act wisely with airdrops.
First and foremost, avoid FOMO.Rule two: Refer back to rule one.
(Don't worry, you're not missing out on the next big $TIA, trust me on this one.)
🔸 Remain cautious: Only connect to verified sources.
🔸 Resist the temptation of pursuing every airdrop.
Leading projects engage with their community through mediums like AMAs, Spaces, conferences, and partnerships with reputable entities and developers. Step back and think about it. What are you really losing by not interacting with an unknown, dubious website?
ALWAYS THINK CRITICALLY AND QUESTION.
➡️ Research the Team and Project Thoroughly
🔸 How active and communicative are they?
🔸 Have they revealed their identities?
🔸 Do they have a GitHub presence?
🔸 What's the history behind their accounts?
🔸 Any collaborations with established Cosmos or Interchain teams?
🔸 Do they have a testnet supported by known Cosmos validators?
🔸 What about their tokenomics and allocation plans?
🔸 Details on the team's vesting schedule?
🔸 Do they have a clear product roadmap? What is it?
🔸 Have they undergone any security audits?
➡️ Assess Their Communication
🔸 Does the team avoid direct answers or provide inconsistent information?
🔸 Do their responses vary over time, or are they steady?
🔸 Have they conducted any AMAs or participated in Spaces?
➡️ Regarding Claims:
🔸 Are they integrated with major wallets like Keplr or Leap?
🔸 Avoid importing seeds into unknown platforms.
➡️ Community Feedback:
🔸 What's the general consensus?
🔸 Distinguish genuine research from mere hype and promotion.
PAUSE AND THINK.
Would you entrust your physical wallet or credit card to someone if you had these doubts?
Remember, even if all the above criteria are met, there's still a risk of a scam. Reflect on this – it's your money and your assets at stake.
Airdrop with caution!

This might be one of my final updates on this topic as I believe the window for early advantage in this area is nearing its close within the coming week. However, my view remains that investing in memecoins on Arbitrum presents a highly favorable risk-reward ratio.

The $ARB token reached a new high at $1.83, with the total value locked (TVL) in the chain and DeFi hitting $10 billion and $3 billion respectively. Despite these highs, memecoins on this platform are still relatively undervalued.
Here's a quick rundown of the liquidity for some notable memecoins on Arbitrum:
- $SMOL: $1.2 million
- $SIZE: $638,000
- $ADOGE: $310,000
- $NOLA: $247,000
- $BONER: $222,000
- $BOOP: $87,000
The combined total liquidity is about $2.7 million. Assuming around half of this liquidity is backed by stable assets like ETH or stablecoins, there's an estimated $1.35 million actively invested in these memecoins.
This investment represents just 0.045% of the DeFi TVL and 0.013% of the Chain TVL. Is this an opportunity worth considering? I'll leave that for you to determine.

The current landscape of Layer 2 (L2) solutions in the cryptocurrency space, particularly focusing on $ARB , $OP presents what appears to be a highly asymmetric risk/reward trade opportunity.

A key factor contributing to this potential is the noticeable underpositioning of these assets across various market participants. Despite the prevailing discussions of Ethereum ($ETH) capitulation and attempts to time the ETH/BTC bottom, it's crucial to note that the real movers in the current scenario are likely to be Layer 2 solutions like $ARB and $OP .
A closer look at the crypto community's discourse reveals a pattern of underestimating Layer 2 tokens. While there's a clear inclination towards pumping alternative Layer 1 tokens with market caps ranging from 500 million to 2 billion USD, Layer 2s, which possess similar liquidity profiles, have not yet experienced significant movement. This underestimation and lack of engagement with Layer 2 tokens by narrative traders, funds, and retail investors have set the stage for a potential dramatic reversion.
An upcoming catalyst for this reversion is the highly anticipated Cancun Upgrades. These upgrades, scheduled across various dates in early 2024, promise fundamental technological improvements that could refocus market attention on Layer 2 solutions. With key upgrade dates set for networks like Goerli, Sepolia, and Holesky, culminating in a Mainnet upgrade at the end of February, these advancements are expected to significantly enhance the capabilities and appeal of Layer 2 solutions.
Moreover, the deadline for Bitcoin ETF approval on January 10th adds another layer of intrigue to the market dynamics. This event could potentially shift market attention back to Ethereum and its associated Layer 2 solutions. The prediction here is for a notable increase in the value of ARB/SOL and OP/SOL in the first quarter of 2024.
In response to these market conditions and predictions, strategic moves are already being observed. For instance, some traders have re-added $OP to their portfolios, albeit in smaller sizes, reflecting a mix of cautious optimism and an acknowledgment of the potential FOMO-driven overheating in the market.

Solana Memecoins like $BONK, $BONER, and $WIF have already shown impressive gains, but the market continues to offer new opportunities. With Solana's ecosystem thriving, it's an opportune time to explore emerging tokens that might yield significant returns.

Here's a list of five promising tokens to consider:
1. $ANALOS: Despite facing some skepticism, $ANALOS remains a bullish choice with the potential to outperform $BONK. After a market cap drop from $200M to $64.22M, it presents a more attractive entry point. Anticipation is building for its upcoming Tier-1 CEX listing, which could further boost its value.
2. $POPCATSOLANA: This is another memecoin without any fundamental services, thriving purely on the meme culture. With a relatively low market cap of $10.65M and the potential for growth alongside Solana's ecosystem, it's a token to watch, especially as the new wave of meme tokens gathers momentum.
3. $SillyDragonSol: One of the early meme tokens in this altcoin season, $SillyDragonSol boasts a $103.66M market cap. Its direct link to one of the developers of $SOL adds an interesting twist. The current market trends suggest it might be a good time to find an entry point.
4. $ponkesol: Distinguished by its robust community support and a plethora of memes, $ponkesol has a market cap of $18.34M. This community-driven token shows potential for significant growth, especially with any new announcements on the horizon.
5. $chonkysolana: As a lower-cap project with a market cap of $17.69M, $chonkysolana has established a longer presence in the market compared to many other memecoins. Its consistent engagement with the community through memes could help it continue to build its audience and grow in value.
Do note that you should also always conduct thorough research and consider the inherent risks before investing!

I focused on Solana wallets and concluded that Phantom, stands out as a top choice.

Let's now offer a straightforward guide to setting up a Phantom wallet:
1. Choosing the Right Wallet: It's crucial to identify the best wallet options within the Solana ecosystem. I evaluated several Chrome browser-based wallets, ranking Phantom as the best to assist in making an informed choice.
2. Installation Process:
- Visit the official Phantom website and hit the 'Download' button.
- Click 'Add to Browser' to integrate the extension into your browser.
- Reminder: Always verify the authenticity of the website through Twitter and platforms like CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap to sidestep scams.
3. Setting Up Phantom Wallet:
- If the Phantom wallet extension doesn't open automatically post-installation, initiate it manually.
- Choose 'Create a new password' to secure the wallet app. Remember, this password is for app access only and isn't linked to blockchain security.
4. Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) Importance:
- Upon proceeding, you'll receive your SRP. This phrase is pivotal as it's essentially your master key, with both your private and public keys derived from it.
- Losing the SRP means losing access to your funds, so handle it with utmost care.
5. Securely Storing the SRP:
- It's advisable to write down the SRP on paper and keep it in a secure location. Avoid digital storage to prevent potential hacks.
- Once secured, you can continue with the setup process.
6. Using the Phantom Wallet:
- Find the newly set-up Phantom wallet under the browser extensions icon, usually located at the top-right corner.
- The wallet allows for sending and receiving Solana and SPL tokens, along with performing other Solana-related transactions.
7. Enhancing Security:
- As the user, you bear the responsibility for security. Stay vigilant against phishing scams, malware, and keep your SRP confidential.
- To maximize safety, it's highly recommended to pair the Phantom wallet with a hardware wallet, combining the security of the hardware with the user-friendly interface of Phantom.
This guide, while basic for some, is intended to be a helpful resource for the community, equipping users with the necessary knowledge to manage their Solana transactions efficiently and securely. Cheers to a safer crypto experience! 🍻
