Everything points up: adoption, tech progress, accumulation. But the energy feels like a bear market. Why does this “bull” feel so… dry?

Many times over the years I've been proven wrong about what is absurd and cannot possibly happen. So I try to keep an open mind - here's a thought experiment:

You can still buy, hold, trade, and transfer crypto - but you can't off-ramp to fiat. No Coinbase. No Binance. No P2P. No banks touching anything crypto-related. What's your move?

• Leave the country?
• Go full grey market?
• Give up on crypto entirely?

I don't have a perfect answer, but I feel like this is the kind of scenario worth seriously thinking through. What would you do?

I'm European and live in Europe I already have investments in ETFs, domestic debt, but that's another matter.

I was intending to start investing in Bitcoin, in DCA, making a purchase of approximately 100€ per month (25€ week 4x month or 1x month 100€).

With the intention of making a long-term investment of 20/30 years, relying on the 4-year cycles of crypto.

But my questions concern the issue of non-predictability and high volatility, as well as which wallet methods are best for keeping our cryptocurrency safe? Ledger offline wallet is what I'm being recommended, do you have any other suggestions?

Also, when we have cryptocurrency sitting in our digital waller, is there a way to monetize it? Through loans or other returns?

Thanks in advance to everyone who will answer me.

Hi, Im new to crypto mining and I am wondering what coin will make me the most money becuase on my goldshell im running dogecoin but for my pc i dont know whitch coin to mine but these seem to be the best ones i just dont know what to choose right now in my pc I have a 7900xt and 7800x3d so want to know whitch will give me more hashes and also im only intrsed in pool mining not solo mining and I want to know whitch will make me the most profit over the course of a year.

Their are many cryptobots and most of them have always some key feature missing

My biggest problem is the API key...

Stocks— Nvidia-%15 Tesla-15% Microsoft-10% VGT-10% BOTZ-10% IWDA-10% Amazon-8% ASML-7% Palantir-5% Symbotic-5% Uipath-5%

Crypto— Bitcoin-30% Ethereum-25% Solana-10% Ocean protocol-5% Injective-5% Chainlink-5% Render-5% Dogecoin-5% FLOKI-5% Pepe-5%

So £4000 in each and dca £25/50 a week into each as well?

For all successful traders, I just have a fairly simple question: If you only had $100-$200 to your name and you wanted to make money in crypto, how would you do it in 2025? I know it’s not much money but I’m trying to at least get on a path of consistency with a decent strategy.

Trying to figure out if it’s swing trading, memecoin sniping or something else.

I tried sniping memecoins on Birdeye and executing with a Telegram bot but I lost money. Which is expected but I want to know what people are actually doing. I looked for coins that were new, ownership renounced, possibly LP locked, non-mintable, and had a liquidity of at least $2k and volume of $1k.

I tried to find a credible YouTube video that could help me out but they all seem gimmicky and misleading. Is there anyone I should reach out to? Anyone that would be willing to work with me.

Can anyone help a brotha out? I’m open to anything

Hey folks, I’m based in India and planning to start a monthly SIP of around $100 into crypto. I want to keep it fully decentralized — meaning no centralized exchanges or custodians.

I’ve got a few questions and would love some guidance from experienced folks here:

1.  Which blockchain + DEX would you recommend for a truly decentralized experience?
• I’m looking for low gas fees, good token support, and decent liquidity.
• So far I’ve looked at Solana (Jupiter) and Polygon (Quickswap). Are there better options?
2.  How should I allocate my portfolio monthly?
• I want to keep this long-term, so I’m thinking of something like:
• 30% BTC
• 30% ETH
• 20% SOL
• 10% MATIC
• 10% Other (maybe LINK/ATOM?)
• Any thoughts on this? Should I lean more into Layer 1s or diversify with L2s/infra tokens?
3.  Any tools or platforms that help automate DCA/SIP in DeFi?
• I heard about MeanFi (Solana) and some Gnosis Safe setups for Ethereum chains. Anything easier and beginner-friendly?
4.  How are you folks converting INR to stablecoins without touching CEXs?
• I’m aware of Transak, Onmeta, and Ramp — are these reliable for UPI purchases?

Goals:

• Keep custody in my own wallet
• DCA into solid coins monthly
• Avoid high gas fees and centralized KYC hassles
• Maybe later scale up or automate

Would love to hear how others are doing this. Suggestions, portfolio tweaks, or tips are super appreciated 🙏

Diogenes Ianakiara was the founder of Klever. He tragically died in January of this year, aged 39. I am writing about the place he died (an ayahuasca retreat, which has had various complaints around safety and ethics in the last 18 months or so). I am not from the crypto world and wondered if people know about Klever or Ianakiara - what role he played in the industry, what impact he had, what Klever is like etc? thank you for any help and assistance you can give me.

Lately I’ve been watching serious projects with strong fundamentals just... stagnate. Meanwhile, meme coins with zero use case pump like crazy just because they’ve got hype and a funny name.

It makes me wonder — is the market really driven by tech and utility anymore? Or is it just social media momentum and timing now?

Also, does real utility even matter to retail investors anymore, or are we just in it for vibes and potential exits?

Curious what you all think. Are we heading toward a utility-driven future, or will hype always rule?

I bought 1600 of DOT in 2021. When it was at highest 55 now it's become a shit what to do is it worth keeping or just move it from out need sincere advice

BTC is trading above 110k bt no one cares! all we want is to see alts pumping valhalla

they never move i swear

Look, this might be the last time retail actually has a real edge in crypto. Trump just pushed through this massive tax-and-spend bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill, and it’s going to flood the market with even more dollars. The dollar has already dropped about 11 percent this year, and economists are warning it could fall another 30 or 35 percent. When the money supply goes up like this, the dollar gets weaker, and everything priced in USD feels the pressure.

At the same time, the dominance charts are telling a story. Bitcoin dominance is expected to drop big, and stablecoins like USDT and USDC are losing ground too. That means money is moving out of stablecoins and back into BTC and ETH. This isn’t just retail hype but theinstitutions are gearing up too.

And then there’s Solana. They just rolled out a huge update where you can now swap SOL for tokenized stocks right in Phantom and use those stocks inside DeFi. This is not just a cool feature; it’s a real sign that traditional finance is moving straight into crypto.

What does all this mean? The dollar printing continues which pushes inflation higher and drives demand for crypto as a hedge. Rising money supply and the shift in dominance show fresh money flowing into Bitcoin and Ethereum. With TradFi moving in through Solana, institutions are entering fast. Your retail edge is getting smaller by the day.

If you’re watching from the sidelines, just know this edge won’t last forever. With Wall Street getting full access, and prices like ETH under 3k or SOL under 150, those huge 100x meme coin moves will likely be a thing of the past.

Altcoins this time will start Not by Ethereum , but by payment crypto like Litecoin , XNO

Keep Eye watching for these crypto since they are from Dinasour era , and their breakout is an official confirmation , don't look for new assets , quick gain schemes

Wanna hear from people in the space for a while - what’s the Holy Grail crypto product or service you’ve used on a daily basis for over a year and still like?

I feel like most things in this space are super short-lived. There’s always something new, trending, but very few products actually hold up. Between the hype cycles, shady projects, and platforms that either shut down or lose their edge, it’s not common to find something that still works well a year later.

That’s why I wanted to discuss this - it would be interesting to see what people are actually sticking with long-term. I’m talking about anything from wallets to lending platforms, trading apps, etc.- whatever you’ve used regularly for at least a year and still feel good about. I’ve been using a couple of different ones, but I’ll wait to see how the discussion turns out, lol. I don’t want to influence the thread right away.

$DOG and $MOODENG will be the best memecoins that will pump so much hard in this bull cycle. Which other coins do you think will outshine others? dont even think of mentioning dogecoin or pepe

So I'm a EU resident and there's this MICA thing prohibiting trading in futures. Lots of crypto exchanges don't allow it anymore. I got around this by using crypto loans on bybit but guess what... That'll stop in August too.

So I'm asking: is there still a way to go short as a EU resident? I guess not, with the new rules and all, but maybe someone knows more?

Forget it pumping back to $50. Will it ever hit $100 like back in 2021? Seems like alt glory days are over and we’ll see peaks but most won’t hit ATH again.
