    1. You probably bought Cardano at 2 cents. Didn’t sell when it was over $3 because you just knew it would go to $25. Now it’s 30 cents. And Cardano has no future at all. Wierd code. No practical use. No external adoption. Solana and ETH are the future The rest are just duds.

    2. I agree with you. Everyone is saying 45k yet. I just cant see it. Sellers are exhausted. Money is being printed, stocks are close to topping out. Feels close 🤞🙏🙏

    3. The problem is that you can easily make 100% gains within 2 weeks in a US stock market. It's hard to find reasons to be involved in a risky crypto market now. We might have to wait until Nasdaq cools down a little and the massive crypto craze takes its spot. Cheers!

    4. Nope we stack and push forward we learn and some of us thank the Lord for every day because we know what we as sinners deserve!

    5. The crypto market is primarily driven by Bitcoin, and if it rises, all altcoins tend to follow suit, especially during a bull market. While most analysis could be accurate in a bear market, it is essential to take a holistic view rather than an isolated one. As responsible technical analysts, we should pick a side and be accountable for our views. It is important to remember that the price of cryptocurrencies will fluctuate, but we should strive to provide well-rounded analysis.Grow a Portfolio of around 178k to a decent $785k+ in the space of a few months. Thanks again Linda,,Keichian, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape,,….

    6. I dont regret, yet, but honestly, I got in a year ago and bought various dips…I’m below water and that is scary, also to think I sold equities to go into crypto so lost returns on top of below water. Sucks. Not taking losses yet because I’m patient but if it takes until 4Q29 to get back to ATH that will suck. ❤

    7. I cant help but wonder about the Trump effect. He has tainted the industry so badly that I don't know if we ever recover. Even if he didn't directly taint it, the powers that be hate this guy so much and don't want the very space that he claims for himself, to be successful.

    8. I respect your attempt in trying to be data-driven. My feeling is that everyone can look at all the data sets, and nothing correlates with anything now. Early on in crypto, there was a thought of it as a hedge because it worked in direct opposition to the effects of the stock market, but that is now gone. If anything has directly stalled growth, it has been the current administration because it has created massive grift in crypto. Where is Clarity? It's stalled because legislation requires oversight, and this administration doesn't want it. I say that not as a political statement but as something that is in draft versions that is accessible to the public. QE is getting trampled by inflation, which is not fully correlated with this administration but has not been helped by it. You can't point at the FED either. It's not one person's vote; it's 12 votes, and the majority has voted to keep rates alone or a small incremental change. One day, there will be a bull market, but that's also because if it truly is a market, then there are always runs up/down. But no one, probably for another 20-30 years, will have sufficient historical cyclical data to make an educated guess on when bull runs will happen. Really, the only info retail investors need is; 100% look at the crypto use case (if you can understand it because blockchain is not fully baked to comprehend) before you buy, and know that the upside is a gamble, so only put money in that you're willing to never see again.

    9. I'm glad I found your channel. You are so positive and level headed. I love how you're not "we're going to the moon" and you explain these charts nicely. Keep the good content coming for everyone.

    10. You actually did waste your time. You haven't figured out altcoins have turned into scams yet? BTC isnt much better – it is matured asset.
      I've left crypto and I'm making so much more money.
      2023 was when the AI supercycle started. You guys missed the exponential growth of Nvidia and other semiconductors. More small cap AI companies went from small to mid caps in 2024 and 2025 and even more will in 2026. So many stocks did 10x in the past year. SanDisk did at least 60x and AXTI did 80x in the past year.
      Because you guys refuse to spread out and adamantly need to be 100% in crypto, you've wasted the opportunity to make so much money. Crypto is done , because we are going into a recession after this big run for the stock market if you've been paying attention. But you need to drop your ego for the need to be right, and want to start making money again.

    11. Hey Dan, the neon logo intro gave me flashbacks from a few years back… I like it! I’ve been a long time viewer of yours, thanks for your commitment to the space. To the moon for $Ada, $Night and $Dog 🚀

    12. You had to make this model. It’s the bear market. You have to make money. Now you got to hope the new guys come in and use your system. But if you have a brain you don’t need this.

    13. Its a casino. Its scammy. Theres not gonna be this "Big moment." Its all greed and no one cares about the projects. Non of it matters. Lets keep it real. We are all degenerates.

    14. Like you Dan I had conviction but I literally took everyone’s advice about taking profits and with some witchery I minimised my losses.

    15. You're only wasting your time in crypto if you're still investing in Ethereum. I wouldn't put any of my money into the "obvious" coins. BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI. Everyone knows about them, big money is looking for exit liquidity. ICP is where it's at. Only project I know of that's actually solving real world problems. We don't need 100,000 different chains that do the exact same thing. Processing transactions and storing data on web 2.0 infrastructure waiting to be hacked…

    16. Larry Williams overall markets forecast is showing a nice uptrend until about mid October. ALSO: Forecasting GBTC trending up until the first week of September. Oddly enough he is forecasting the DXY Dollar Index trending up through that same time period. Gold trending down until August. Larry predicting the turn around on March 23rd during COVID. Even before COVID was a thing.
      People can watch many of his videos for free on YouTube. I’ve been getting his charts for a few years. He basically compiles all the data since the inception of markets. Over a hundred years and crunches the data. Amazing.
      Awesome videos Dan. Hopefully the clarity act passes. It seems like it has enough bipartisan support and the few thorns out there will get plucked out.
      Trump, fed chair, sec, all aboard. Get the train moving. Happy Saturday.

    17. The thing is Potatoes are not produced for trading. Potatoes have real utility and demand and upon utilization they get consumed and a new potato generated to fill the demand. Whereas we have to look into the utility of Eth is it really increases. How many people are buying Eth just to utilize it for any benefit rather than gaining financial benifit. does Eth fulfilling any real time acutual in demand use case. I think its not really. and if it is filling that position than that position is very niche and very technical to use. I think this is the reason ALTs are not booming there was a boom in 2021 than most of us realized it that its not only about never ending road maps and technology in white papers and roller roaster rides on charts. I am now deeply concerned that is crypto is a new casino. cause i have invested in some ALTs over BTC. The ALTs i am invested in are and were big names but i cant see world adopting them or neither they are providing some revolutionary tech to the world to solve its problems upfront. its all hype and gambling i suppose.

    18. I’ve been holding Ethereum, XRP, and Bitcoin for a while now, but the returns haven’t really met my expectations. Since I’m still pretty new to crypto, I’d really appreciate some honest advice on how to get started the right way and actually see better results. Any tips would mean a lot!

    19. The emphasis on having a clear exit strategy is crucial, especially after experiencing the volatility of previous bull and bear markets. It's refreshing to see the focus on setting realistic goals and understanding Crypto trading. This approach not only prepares you for unexpected market shifts but also keeps you grounded during the volatile of the market price. It's a valuable reminder that crypto investing should ultimately serve our personal aspirations, rather than just becoming a game of chasing numbers…managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 932k in the space of a few months. Thanks again, Crystal Franzen,, crypto for the regular updates,.
