Bitcoin cycles in the year of the halving. If September was green for Bitcoin, the following three months were all green. Bitcoin is up 11.5% this September and there are only four trading days (including today) left this month. Where do you see the Bitcoin price at the end of the year? My guess is $100,000 (currently $65,000).

$BTC (+2,69 %)
#bitcoin
$ETH (+1,26 %)
$SOL
$BNB (+1,43 %)
$DOGE (+7,94 %)
$XRP (+3,89 %)
$SUI (+9,61 %)
$ADA (+20,78 %)
$USDT (+0,69 %)
$AAVE (+1,87 %)
$BONK (+4,2 %)
$SHIB (+15,47 %)
$BEST (+9,87 %)
$COIN (+8,63 %)
$MSTR (+1,77 %)
$GLXY (+8,72 %)
$IBIT
$BCH (+11,3 %)
$21BC (+0,95 %)$HIVE (+4,78 %)
$MARA (+1,47 %)
$RIOT (+5,52 %)
$ETHE
$BCHS (+1,01 %)
$ARB (-6,67 %)

It all comes down to a showdown on May 23.

The day on which the SEC $ETH (+1,26 %)-spot ETF applications from VanEck and 21Shares must be finally rejected or approved.

After public opinion had become increasingly pessimistic about their chances of success in recent weeks, new hope has flared up in recent days.

First, Fidelity submitted an application for an Ethereum ETF including staking on Wednesday. A day later, Bitwise followed with its application, which it submitted to the NYSE along with what is probably the most detailed correlation analysis between ETH spot and futures prices to date.

Why is this analysis important?

The close correlation between the two markets was used by the SEC at the time to justify the approval of the $BTC (+2,69 %)-ETFs.

Bitwise would now like to have calculated similar values for Ethereum and since an ETH futures ETF was already approved in fall 2023, the logical conclusion is that a spot ETF should also be given the green light, right?

However, the new optimism is not currently stopping ETH from sniffing a new ETH/BTC multi-year low.

With the upcoming halving and BTC ETF inflows picking up speed again, a lot will depend on sentiment around May 23 as to whether ETH can outperform BTC again.

Speaking of outperformance.

With ≈ 18%+ each, the two memecoins $DOGE (+7,94 %) and $WIF were yesterday's big winners. The latter even overtook $PEPE as the third most valuable memecoin.

Current market cap: USD 3.7 billion.

Welcome to the "Everything Season".

That's the title Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan gave the current cycle in a memo to his investors.

Instead of investors taking their positions from $BTC (+2,69 %) to $ETH (+1,26 %) and from Ethereum to the long tail of altcoins, we see all segments picking up at the same time.

The cause, of course, lies in the Bitcoin ETFs, through which non-crypto capital flows into Bitcoin faster than Bitcoin money can flow out into other crypto assets.

In his opinion, this trade could continue for a while yet.

However, the madness has long since resumed. In the last few days...

• ...Drake shared an interview clip from Michael Saylor about Bitcoin with his 146 million followers on Instagram,
• ...the memecoin $WIF reached its fundraising goal of USD 650,000 (1-week-sphere-promotion incoming) and...
• ...Elon Musk publicly $DOGE (+7,94 %) -payments for Tesla.

The fact that the broad market was sent south yesterday via a series of liquidations and has continued its slide over the past few hours therefore seems like a welcome cooling off.

The cool-down was particularly brief for $SOL (+3,43 %) . After a temporary slump, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency even ended yesterday with a gain of 5.4%.

Over the last 3 days, it has thus gained +20%. In the midst of the ongoing memecoin rally, Solana is crypto's retail hub and will soon be out of the woods with regard to the post-FTX sell-off.

$ETH (+1,26 %) Once again, no one was thankful that the Dencun upgrade went completely smoothly (You can read more about this in today's issue. You can find the link below in the sources section).

Sell the News.

Perhaps this is also due to the fact that a letter from two US senators to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler was published yesterday. In it, they ask him to please not approve any more crypto-ETFs.

Sore losers?

How can it be that meme coins like $DOGE (+7,94 %)
$PEPE (+5,64 %) etc are experiencing such an upswing again ... not everyone can think "Yolo, maybe I'll become a millionaire"?

$DOGE (+7,94 %) - It will soon be three years ago and I still have to smile that I actually made so much profit with the scrap. Thank you Elon and also Saturday Night...

My investment was practically nothing in comparison, I had it lying around for many years.

Have you ever had any luck with a penny stock, shitcoin or similar, which actually has no real value? (And good timing)

The US dollar is the last remaining final opponent.

After another rally of +7.4%, the US dollar $BTC (+2,69 %) reached a new all-time high yesterday, both in terms of the euro exchange rate and its market capitalization in USD.

According to the current status (05.03. 13:14) just under +3% and the high from November 2021 would be set.

The market is maximally long and seems not to be overheating precisely because the demand for Bitcoin spot ETFs is virtually absorbing the volatility.

With a trading volume of USD 5.5 billion), the ten spot #etfs marked their second strongest day since launch yesterday.

This brings Bitcoin's dominance of the crypto market back up to 53%.

However, it has become abundantly clear in recent days that some traders are no longer willing to wait until this dominance is broken and some of the capital finds its way to more remote areas of the risk curve.

Memecoin mania reigns.

The menu includes all coins with frogs or dogs on them. Here is a performance overview of selected memecoins in the last seven days:

- $DOGE (+7,94 %) +93%

- $BONK +183%

- $WIF+226%

- $SHIB (+15,47 %) +291%

- $PEPE +247%

After a short breather tonight, the memecoin rally now seems to be continuing.

This is mainly due to the fact that Robinhood is now letting its users trade $BONK and Binance has announced the listing of $WIF at the same time.

What else has happened these days?

• Ordinals record record volumes

Hi there!

I haven't used Getquin for almost 2 years and thought it was time to start tracking my portfolio here again. I used to track it on Parqet, but the crypto support there is not optimal.

Briefly about me, I'm Matteo, just turned 17 and I have (in my opinion) a risky but good portfolio. I come from an average family and my father always told me to start saving early. That's why I invested for the first time at the age of 13, namely 200 euros in a Luxembourg government bond that my father showed me (I'm from Luxembourg).

Shortly afterwards, I found crypto and was convinced to invest by GME and Dogecoin. When I look back, I have to laugh because my 2nd investment and my first crypto was Dogecoin. Even though it wasn't a good investment, thanks to $DOGE (+7,94 %) I was in the crypto "bubble". I also started with NFTs shortly afterward and through NFTs and also stocks like $TSLA (+9,97 %) made my first 10,000 euros during 2021-2022. It was extremely risky what I did back then, but it worked out well in the end. I invested four of the ten thousand (by pure luck at the right time) in November 2022 in $BTC (+2,69 %) and $ETH (+1,26 %) invested. I opened a savings plan with the rest, where I buy the $VWCE (+0,48 %) ETF monthly.

Since cryptocurrencies have continued to rise since then, I wanted to ask your advice. I'm happy with my portfolio, but I know that ~45-50% in crypto is not very good, so I'm going to sell some of it. So my question is: should I sell some of my crypto and put the money IMMEDIATELY into the $VWCE (+0,48 %) ETF or should I leave it in the bank and invest it over time through my savings plan?

Thank you very much and I look forward to any feedback :)

* ATTENTION HUMOR FOLLOWS* ~ for all those who take life a little too seriously ( see comments )

Challenge:

Either I lose 50€ live or make live money with shit that looks like gold. I wouldn't advise anyone to invest their money as wastefully and stupidly as I did in this example.

Do any of you know altcoin hunters the memecoin "Akita Inu"? It has a market capitalization of 12,000,000$. Shiba Inu has 9,800,000,000$ in comparison. I just bought about 400,000,000$ for 50$. $AKITA (+13,09 %) tokens.

Here are some EXTREMELY serious reasons to buy "cough". By the way, there are no serious reasons to buy meme coins, I'm just doing it because I'm in the mood for a round of gambling to distract myself from all the boring value investing.

Well

• 1. The founder of Ethereum owns a lot $AKITA (+13,09 %) (Really)

• 2. 2. the trading volume has doubled in the last 24 hours and is at an all-time high.

• 3. I am the first person on getquin to mention $AKITA (+13,09 %) mentioned although we made 30,000% last bull run and over 60,000 people hold the thing - for science of course only

• 4. "Akita Inu" is near the bottom and has not yet risen, which is why inexperienced investors will be seeing money.

• 5. If $SHIB (+15,47 %) or $DOGE (+7,94 %) goes up, then $AKITA (+13,09 %) because people want other shiny dogs that are less well known.

• 6. The most important thing is that $AKITA (+13,09 %) is neither Dogecoin nor Shiba Inu. So it is much better to buy it with a clear conscience.

The reasons are all crap I only buy it because I know that in Bullrun almost everything goes up anyway and I know how greedy people are for money (see BONK Token currently) .

If you love your money, keep your hands off it but feel free to write me what you think of it and what your opinion of meme tokens is. I think you can already have one in your portfolio.

Good investing

And if it goes wrong losing "50€" hasn't killed anyone yet either

Risk management is everything guys if any of you are going all in to become the next meme king you are not investors but gamblers

(PS: I would never invest money in stupid hypes in the long term - I just find it funny that there are no reports or reviews anywhere, although fucking Vitalik Buterin is involved. )
