I would like to clarify a bit about futures and their influence on the crypto market. It is important to immediately understand that futures are not a factor influencing growth but rather bets on growth or decline, like in bookmakers. In the minds of many, thanks to numerous 'experts' and 'market sharks,' there is an impression that 'shaving the hamsters' means taking money for oneself from the exchange or market - this is not the case; the exchange and market do not care how much you earned or how much you lost.
Many market participants have not yet returned from the realm of Peter Pan and despite their age still believe in fairy tales, one of those fairy tales invented specifically for hamsters is patterns 😀 (not to be confused with market cyclicality)
You have probably come across videos, posts in TG, statements from 'experts' like:
Right now, the crypto market looks like grandmothers trading on the curb with bedsheets in the 2000s. Grandma could take some seeds, roast them at home, and bring them out for sale. This is exactly how crypto looks right now; it's neither bad nor good, it's a young market and every market starts from something. For grandmothers on bedsheets to turn into a market with bathyscaphes, rows, and a wide assortment - regulation is necessary.
If you open 90 percent of the chats and look at a bunch of memes, you can identify a pattern and find one common situation:
"If I bought - the coin falls, if I sold - the coin grows." This meme is sent to each other by important cryptos, and 90 percent of market participants describe this situation to each other. Is this a global Bitcoin conspiracy with alts? 😀 No. This is a perception error that results from incorrect handling of emotions.
Because the quality of service has stopped satisfying me 🦾
Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world; of all exchanges, it is the safest for storing funds. Any exchange can scam, as FTX did; however, if Huobi were to scam, the market would react with a maximum drop for 1-2 weeks. But if Binance were to scam, the market would crash and linger at the bottom for no less than a year and possibly even several years. I don't even consider the option of Binance scamming; however, I still left and withdrew my money.
Why does it have a huge influence on the cryptocurrency market?
The Fed - The Federal Reserve System created to exercise centralized control over the commercial banking system. • fulfilling the responsibilities of the central bank of the USA
• maintaining a balance between the interests of commercial banks and national interests
There is no need to deviate from the plan; making purchases or sales based on emotions is not necessary.
ATTENTION!!!!! You don't need to rush and buy up projects that have shown significant growth, you don't need to jump into any trains, you don't need to hurry anywhere; there will always be coins at any stage that are in zones of interest. "And what if I miss out" the biggest misconception, there is no need to rush anywhere, you need to stick to the plan, buy in zones of interest for buying and sell in zones of interest for selling.
The most important thing in any financial market is psychology.
You can know all the terms, speak in smart words, read a million books, be subscribed to 100 channels where the market situation is discussed all day long in chats, be able to draw useless lines, take a million courses, but none of this will bring any results if the market participant is not doing well emotionally and has not figured out the most important thing - psychology.
Market cap is the total value of all coins at their current price - end.
For example, now twt costs $1 and there are 1 billion coins in circulation, which means the capitalization is 1 billion.
If tomorrow there is a sharp demand for the coin and there is no supply (holders and funds will not sell and provide the necessary supply), then the cost of TWT can become, for example, $2 and the capitalization will immediately become not 1 billion but 2. If the demand continues to be not provided with the necessary supply, the price will become $4 and the capitalization will immediately be 4 billion )))
At the beginning of 2024, I posted in an open channel with coins that should be in the portfolio. There were 4 coins: TON - which has given x6 since the post was written, doge - x5 since the post was written, XRP x4 since the post was written, and TWT - the only project that is still in the area of interest. I wrote this because I see that interest in a coin still arises after it has shown x's, this should not be the case; one should not jump into projects that have risen by 500%. Instead, one should buy what has not yet shown anything; that is the purpose of our presence in the market: to buy when there is no interest in the project and only skeptics are around, and to sell when the project yields profit and captures everyone's interest, not the other way around. Follow the channel, reread the selection of posts, buy what is in areas of interest, do not get anxious, do not chase FOMO, do not be in the market based on emotions. This is our job, not a casino. To achieve profit, it is important not to guess but to be disciplined, to follow risk management, money management, and to control emotions.
Airdrops, testnets, taps, and other activities are a separate direction, interesting in that a systematic approach promises good profits, but the downside is that if you engage in it casually, choosing separate projects from time to time and completing tasks, it comes down to playing a luck game.
The impact of unlocks on the token price at the moment.
First, we need to understand what unlocks are. An unlock is the release of coins that were purchased by investors at an early stage long before listings on exchanges. Primary investors receive a certain number of coins for their contribution to the project, which they cannot sell until a certain moment.
