+1..... and after they are done pumping, first youll see the wallet theft or scam THEN theyll crash it like usual. I think the better bet is how many new services for it will pop up that they will claim are the most safe thing ever, using quantum computers to secure your stuff etc... and then they get hacked anyway. The scams are so obvious anymore its disgusting.The first misconception is that this is the start of a bull run. The current surge is just another fake pump like the previous ones. First there is barely any volume to support it (We barely even break 30bn, while an actual bull run sees +70bn volume atleast), so its whale just trading to jack up the prices. 2nd other than the positive CPI we haven't had any other strong stimuli to warrant that big of a pump and the price has overshoot way too high. Other economy factors are still in red and according to BOM inflation gonna pick up in US again thx to commodity price increase and Chinese market openning up again resulting inan increase in demand for oil etc. Anyway bottom line this is another bull trap and once it reaches the target prices the whales gonna let it free fall and cash out and probably back to 15k. the true bull run wont happen in 2023.

$10,000 USD or lower by end of summer. with any luck, when the next FOMC, it'll be a 50 bp rise and tank the bubble the young folks think it normal market movement. Sell now and buy yourself a nice ... anything else. Perhaps a used xeon or a sandwich.
P.S.: it really irks me when miners come to a primarily gaming hw site and forget they screwed us on GPU prices for like 6 of the last 10 years.

Do not confuse blockchain with crypto. Blockchain is basically a ledger that cannot be tempered with (unless you control more than half of the peers).I mean, TPU is technically a tech forum and this post is on the appropriate category. Despite my solid belief that cryptocurrency and blockchain are technologies which offer no benefit to mankind, gamers and/or techies being angry shouldn't have much of a say in this case, and this includes people such as myself (to whom both apply), no matter my own (extremely negative) personal feelings about it.

Do not confuse blockchain with crypto. Blockchain is basically a ledger that cannot be tempered with (unless you control more than half of the peers).
There are many interesting things you can do with blockchain. For example electronic voting, which could one day mean almost ad-hoc referendums are possible and you get to vote straight from your mobile phone. I mean, sure, we have to test the crap out of it before we go there. But it carries the potential to significantly impact our lives sometime in the future.
Also, contrary to what many believe, blockchain does not provide anonymity. It provides full-traceability instead (because you cannot undo a transaction, only append a transaction in the opposite direction, so both will remain on record). Integrate that with banking and you significantly curb money laundering.

Such as?I wasn't confusing, I actually fully intended to say what I did. I was never sold on blockchain technology, it would seem that all it can do can be done by another, safer, more private and more efficient technology.
It's not about the impact (nobody guessed the impact of the Internet or the web at first), it's about coming up with something more useful than "look, I made my own currency" (though that in itself is a fantastic proving ground), it's about proving that it's safe and up to the task, before applying it to more critical domains.You make a good case for it in this specific situation, but it certainly does require more a greater field test to fully understand its impact on the economy.

The big drop was because of FTX and the run up is because everyone realized FTX had nothing to do with the top currencies like BTC, ETH. A price target of 30k seems reasonable but honestly I would rather it would hit 25k and just hold for a long time.
