August 05, 2022 Here's One Way That Developers Manipulate Price To Trigger You To #FOMO
One of the multitude of ways that developers get creative with influencing price and triggering naive investors to buy into the project, especially when it's recently launched.
Can't be proven...but if you look at actual reputable projects, like EverRise, you don't see shady transactions in their trade tables.
A developer can then say they're "working on" the issue...but when you have other tokens like Golden Sparrow Token that don't have it, you have to wonder why a small, lesser known, NON-shilled project like GST can have clean transactions but the project that gets unreasonable levels of hype on social media gets singled out.
At some point...we have to stop blaming the industry and look at the crypto developers themselves. They're either shady...or incompetent. Or both. And that's not what we should want.

August 02, 2022 #Coinbase Pushed Back On The SEC's Investigation, Now, We Really Get Some Answers.
There were multiple separate triggers to the Coinbase situation. It's not just about the specific cryptos the SEC is targeting but also the insider trading that occurred around them.
Ultimately, it will help us get closer to finally having answers - and hopefully, some smart regulation to help protect people against predatory exchanges.

July 29, 2022 #ETH and #Bitcoin Pumps Fresh Off #FOMC, FDIC to #Voyager: Cease & Desist
Hopefully people are enjoying the brief reprieve. If it sustains through to August, our prediction will have been spot-on.
Now comes the hard part: confidence and sustained growth back up. A lot money was drained out of cryptocurrency, and it will take some time to reclaim what was lost.

July 27, 2022 SEC Sets Eyes On Coinbase For Possible Insider Trading, Securities Violations. Also, We Still Think Crypto Needs To Grow Up, Seriously.
As long as people keep gravitating towards garbage projects, it's only going to get worse before it gets better.
Also, Coinbase is now in the crosshairs of the SEC, which could lead to more cryptocurrencies being regarded as securities.

July 22, 2022 ETH, Bitcoin And Others Dip Slightly, Pump Slightly. It's A Weird Time
We got a bit of red showing after the short pump, then it started to slowly climb again.
The DOW Jones and S&P ratings are up, and there's usually a correlation between those and cryptocurrency that may explain the short pumps.
We still think it's early for a bull run, and we'll need to see what comes of FOMC before feeling fully confident, but we still maintain a prediction of Q3 (later) being the start of good things.
Remember though: take care of your family first and foremost.

July 19, 2022 Some Think The ETH Pump Is A Fakeout. Doesn't Mean You Can't Take Profits Now - But Be Smart About It
We'll have to see what's said at FOMC and whether it results in the significant crash many are suspecting will happen. The theory is that whales are artificially pumping ETH just prior so that they can dump out.
This is a valid theory.
Doesn't mean you can't profit of it. A lot of money potential is to be had with the recent pump.
Or, for some people, buying low is a chance to stack more of the gas tokens you need to buy into other projects later.
Either way, be smart and stay safe. Invest only what you can afford to lose, and more important, take your profits out and stablecoin them so they're insulated from whatever.

July 15, 2022 Redditor Claims To Be 'Suicidal' Due to #Celsius Bankruptcy. Please...DO NOT #YOLO!
There are too many stories like this, where people throw all of their money at some project(s) expecting that their situation won't change.
Random problems happen. They do.
Stay safe, stay smart. Invest only what you can easily lose without caring.
No, you won't be instantly rich - you're not supposed to.

July 12, 2022 With Cryptocurrency, Accounting Is Fundamentally Flawed
We talked about a couple of tokens from the past - but got to thinking: part of the problem with many tokens is how difficult it is to "follow the money".
This inspired us to think: maybe the answer is that blockchain is still immature and doesn't fully track what it needs to, because it never assumed that people would try to rip others off.

July 07, 2022 A Slight Recovery In The First Week Of Q3; Celsius Pays Back #Bitcoin Loan
Celsius appears to be trying to make its depositors (investors) whole with a set of reconstruction actions, but most importantly, fully paying back its Bitcoin loan.
Could this be the beginning of the full recovery across the board - or a temporary blip?
