Because of his convictions, Armstrong is a paradox: He welcomes regulation, but is battling the SEC to prevent innovation-stifling overreach. He runs a centralized exchange, but promotes the very decentralized technology that will put him out of business. He is a strong advocate for individual privacy and self-custody of digital assets that give users full control of their private keys, and yet Coinbase offers non-custodial wallet services (that give users ZERO control of keys) which must comply with strict know-your-customer (KYC) laws that require a great amount of private information. The common thread, if I’m reading it correct: Armstrong is idealistic in his long-term vision but pragmatic in his short-term execution. He's willing to make certain compromises and work within existing constraints in order to make incremental progress toward a more decentralized and privacy-preserving financial system. This ability to navigate between two seemingly opposing forces - centralization vs. decentralization, privacy vs. transparency, innovation vs. regulation - is likely a key reason he's been able to build Coinbase into the crypto industry leader it is today. Like the Netscape founders in the 90s, Armstrong is a technology pioneer on a mission to bring a powerful new tool to the masses. It will be interesting to watch his strategy play out as both Coinbase and the broader crypto ecosystem continue to evolve. Author: Chris C.

While all of the aforementioned fields -- crypto, AI, biotech, human improvement -- are fascinating on their own… What’s most interesting is talking to people about where they intersect. I’m currently going through my 50+ pages of notes from the conferences. (More specific projects to come.) Here’s just a taste: → Leveraging blockchain to crowdsource funding and data for drug research, enabling a more democratized and transparent approach to biotech innovations. → Using AI to analyze genetic data stored securely on blockchain networks, ensuring privacy while unlocking personalized medicine insights. → Using blockchain to create immutable, secure patient records that can be analyzed by AI. → Employing smart contracts to automate and secure collaborations between biotech companies, researchers, and institutions, reducing bureaucracy and fostering innovation. → Using AI algorithms to simulate and predict the effectiveness of drug compounds, speeding up discovery processes and reducing costs. → Using NFTs to secure intellectual property on the blockchain, allowing for more streamlined data sharing, while protecting proprietary data. And a whole lot more. At the center of it all, however, is a global movement called Decentralized Science, or DeSci. And I was surprised to see just how far along this movement really is. .

Since the dot-com boom crash and 2008 recession, calling a successful market a bubble has become high fashion. The bitcoin craze is no different. People have been calling it a bubble since the first 100 users. Bitcoin $5: “Bitcoin is overpriced, this is a bubble” Bitcoin $50: “Total insanity, everyone will lose their shirts” Bitcoin $500: “I can’t believe anyone is stupid enough to buy this” Bitcoin $5,000: “This is a fad, it’s just like tulips.” Problem is… Most of what Bitcoiners said will happen has come true. (All that’s left is $1 million BTC.) Mainstream adoption Bitcoin Spot ETFs Institutional investment Accepted widely as a “digital gold” BUT James and I don’t think the real money will be made in Bitcoin, Ethereum… Or any of the top 10 cryptos. For the past two years, we’ve focused every ounce of our attention on the early stage cryptos with MASSIVE potential. How massive, you ask?

The premise is simple… All progress, theoretical and practical, has resulted from one single thing: good explanations. Progress, says Deutsch, is not just about accumulating more facts or data; it's about developing better explanations that help us understand the world more profoundly and act more effectively within it. In this way, he says, progress is virtually infinite. There is no limit to the improvement of explanations. As our understandings deepen, it leads to new questions, new challenges, and new realms for exploration. Since there’s always new things to understand, there’s always room for improvement. Personally, I think this is where AI is going to shine the most. It’s going to help us articulate the unarticulated faster than ever before in history. It’s also going to accelerate the “happy accidents” and synchronicities that sometimes lead to insane breakthroughs. BUT, the caveat here is that progress is unpredictable. And AI probably won’t make things more predictable, especially not in the short run. Probably the opposite.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Our colleague Jim Rickards took the podium to outline in great detail -- through the geopolitical lens -- why that is. “It’s simple,” he says: “It has everything to do with the weaponization of the US dollar.” Of course, he goes on, “Economic and financial sanctions are not new -- US has used asset seizures, freezes, embargoes, blockades, tariffs, and trade bans many times in the past.” BUT… Recent history reveals that US sanctions only work under three conditions: 1.] Target is a small to medium sized economy 2.] Target has no alternative payment channels 3.] Target has limited hard currency (or gold) reserves “None of these conditions apply to Russia,” said Jim. The U.S. sanctions on Russia are without precedent. Assets of Russia’s central bank and commercial banks were seized. Russian banks were ejected from SWIFT. Investment by U.S. entities in Russia is prohibited. Russian exports of oil, gas, strategic metals, and other goods have been banned. Imports of high-tech equipment, semiconductors, luxury goods, automobiles, and many more goods are also banned. And yet… “Russian sanctions have been a complete failure,” said Rickards. “Russian growth in 2023 is projected at 2.1%. USD/RUB was stable at around 70 from May 2022 to May 2023; down slightly now to 95. “ If you’re not worried about this… You might be worried about the blowback. Or the response to weaponization..” Author: Jim Rickards Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

(excerpts) “In trading, patience and the ability to sit still is not only a virtue, it’s gold . Doing nothing can be one of the most productive things you can do. But as one would expect, being the addicts that we are, the moment the trading session opens, we feel the urge to become more productive all of a sudden. It’s like our minds will not let us enjoy doing nothing. We have to analyze, anticipate, worry, stress, tweak, especially when we’re not supposed to” “Society… it conditions us to continually chase money, power, and a faster, wilder pace of life. Don’t slow down, and God forbid don’t pause, don’t reflect. Keep chasing or you fall behind. Over-schedule, overthink, overwork… this is the mantra. This is supposed to be what progress is. This is supposed to be what success is. Early, we learn to believe that this is absolutely normal, and in due time it becomes an addiction. We can’t sit still for a moment. Just like any addict, sitting still and doing nothing makes us feel unproductive. We feel we’re losing time, so we become agitated.” “Have you ever noticed that all these experiences–thoughts and sensations–are continuous? You’re constantly pulled to mental states and body states, and, most of the time, you’re not aware that you are. You’re automatically in the stories, you believe them, and they urge you to act in a certain way. Which you do. Have you ever noticed that too? Then, next thing you know, you’re entering your trades at the wrong time; you’re exiting at the wrong time; you’re removing your stop-loss; you’re increasing or decreasing your position size… essentially, you’re going against your trading rules. This is a problem because this lack of awareness of your urges is costing you money. Trading is mostly a waiting game where you have to strike only when the time is right. If you want action that happens on your own terms, you’re in the wrong field. As a trader, you simply can’t afford to lack self-awareness.” “The market does not hurry, it moves at its own rhythm, on its own time. And self-awareness helps you cultivate patience and ‘do nothing’ as that happens. This ability to let the market do its thing saves you time and energy. It allows trades to come to you. It puts a stop to the chasing. It embraces the natural order and evolution of things.” - “The Do-Nothing technique is simply about interrupting your impulsive behaviors. It’s cultivating a calm acceptance that things in life can and will often happen in a different order than the one you could be holding in mind. It’s keeping a good attitude while waiting for your pitch. And this all starts with awareness.” Source: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/SPY/bEB4PbaX-The-Art-Of-Do-Nothing-In-Trading/?utm_source=Weekly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TradingView+Weekly+174+%28EN%29 Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

“Excerpts” #1. Nuclear is Going UP. “You may not be interested in nuclear,” said Byron, “but nuclear is interested in you.” This is a sector that’s strong, showing no signs of letting up. → Long-term underinvestment (undervalued) → Rising demand (especially in China) → Geopolitical trends in its favor (Russia as a supplier) → Yellowcake price going up. → New technology for nuke power on rise (SMR) Summary: Nuclear is a good place to be. #2. Oil is Going UP. Byron’s bullish on oil for many of the same reasons. → Long-term underinvestment → “Renewables will NOT DO IT!!!” → (They’re not really renewable) → Legacy companies politically disfavored The well-run oil companies basically have a license to mint cash. Even more, says Byron: “They will sell their kidneys before they cut dividends. Write that down.” The Big Oil companies that are well-run will make you money. It’s as simple as that. #3. Copper is Going UP. Finally, there’s copper. “While water is life,” said Byron, “electricity is quality of life. Electricity means copper. In order to go green, you have to go red.” In copper, we’re seeing a perfect storm. The low-hanging fruit has been picked. → Depleting ore deposits → Higher input costs → Rising energy costs → Rising labor costs → Water scarcity around the world In short, says Byron: “Copper is a GREAT place to be.” Author: Chris Campbell Source: AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Dear Reader, Every time the "Bitcoin Halving" takes place… Bitcoin's price shoots off the charts. The first time it boomed by a staggering 1,235%. The second time it skyrocketed by a massive 5,267%. The last time it shot up 1,356%. Now… it's about to happen again. The thing is, right before the "Halving", is an accumulation period. That's when Bitcoin prices historically go on a HUGE bull run. Guess what? 2023 is a "halving accumulation year". – Bryce Paul Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Does it make sense to always buy the dips? “Buy the dip.” You hear this all the time in crypto investing. It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” Here’s a look at the price of bitcoin from earlier this year. When it dropped to $39,000, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele proudly tweeted that his government had just purchased an additional chunk of bitcoin: that it “bought the dip.” But the next day, the price of bitcoin dipped further, to $34,500: Could you “buy the dip” then? No, because the next day, it dipped further still, to $33,500: Why “buying the dip” is probably not the best economic policy. We could take any time period, for any cryptocurrency, and show this same principle: you can only see the dip in hindsight, after the price has gone back up. This assumes, of course, that the price will go back up. There are plenty of investors who “bought the dip” on their favorite token, only to find out it wasn’t a dip, but a ride off a cliff.” - John Hargrave Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

“Ever hear that saying, “I’m up to my eyeballs in debt”? Well, after World War I, Germany was up to its highest church steeple -- 530 feet high at the time -- in debt. (Fun fact: The Ulm Minster, completed in 1890, is still the tallest church in the world.) The reparations required by the Treaty of Versailles were enormous: to the tune of 132 billion gold marks, worth more than $500 billion today. By the way… It took 92 YEARS for Germany to pay the full amount, making its final debt payment on October 3, 2010. Can you guess what Germany did when it received its first bill in the mail? It printed a whole lot of money. That way, it reasoned, it could buy foreign currency, and then pay off the debt faster. But as the government continued to flood the market with newly-printed money, something happened: the value of the Mark began to plummet. (Gasp!) This led to a destructive cycle wherein, by late 1922, the German government could no longer afford NOT to print, and the Mark's value went into a freefall. Prices skyrocketed. A loaf of bread, which cost 250 Marks in January 1923, had rocketed to 200 billion Marks by November 1923. People's life savings were wiped out overnight. The infamous images of people carrying wheelbarrows full of cash to buy a single loaf of bread were a harsh reality. This, of course, laid the groundwork for civil unrest, paving the way for extremist political movements, including the one led by the guy with the funny mustache, which would ultimately plunge the world into World War II. The currency collapse playbook is pretty similar throughout history. Loads of debt + Loads of printing = Loads of chaos. “It Can’t Happen Here” While this is certainly on the extreme end… History is littered with examples of currencies going kaput, hurling nations into chaos. Zimbabwe, Argentina, Venezuela, and more are just the latest examples. But the most powerful currency in history -- the US dollar -- is immune to such shocks… Right? Well, that’s what most people think.” – Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Recently, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) announced a partnership with Chainlink (LINK) to experiment with connecting private and public blockchains. Swift is the traditional global financial messaging system that underpins most international money and securities transfers. After several tests with private blockchains, Swift is expanding its experiments to include public blockchains, with plans to use Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The collaboration includes major financial institutions like BNP Paribas, BNY Mellon, Citi, Euroclear, SIX Digital Exchange (SDX), and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Chainlink is providing what Swift calls an “enterprise account abstraction layer.” “What’s missing is the ability to send [assets] from a bank chain to a public chain — banks want to do that,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink. The proof of concept will demonstrate how banks can practically interoperate across these networks, both public and private. CCIP is a “universal messaging interface” for cross-blockchain communications. It has the ability to interface with private blockchains and includes security features like active risk management networks. These features differentiate it from alternatives like Axelar’s general message passing and make it appealing to major financial players. Swift aims to use existing bank systems and sees a multichain future. However, connecting to hundreds of different chains is not feasible for most banks. Chainlink aims to save thousands of global banks time and money by linking chains through one integration. “I think they realize the digital asset class is not going anywhere,” Nazarov said. Investor takeaway: This collaboration certainly has the potential to greatly increase the adoption of blockchain technology in the traditional financial sector. Chainlink would be an obvious beneficiary, but demand for other blockchain-related products and services is likely to follow. That said, many regulatory hurdles exist (assuming the technology works). In other words, this is all very early, but it bears watching, particularly for LINK investors (or those considering investing in LINK). “But, despite inherent risks, a well-executed investment strategy, with due diligence, patience, and consistent monitoring, can yield stable high returns and significant upside.” Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Still Here to Stay In short… If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you’ve survived flash crashes, exploits, explosions, implosions, hackers, phishers, worms, bugs, bank runs, and the like. Crypto is one of the most incredible industries for accelerated evolution and experimentation. But it also means that failures and explosions will happen. And more quickly, too. By pushing risk to the edges, DeFi aims to solve many of the systemic risks of traditional finance, which is perpetually one bank run away from collapse. And though there’s no shortage of talking heads dancing on its grave today… Crypto’s still here to stay.” – Chris C. Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

NB: In the 5-part articles in this series, we would explain the strategies used to trade Forex, stocks, indices, crypto pairs, and other cryptocurrencies, for our VIP followers, because they are interested in making profits with us. Kunle F. is one of our signals strategists in the VIP Group. His strategy is described below. Kunle F’s Strategy My Strategy Description I trade Smart Money Concept with the use of Demand and Supply zones. Firstly, I identify strong bullish or bearish trends. I do not trade ranging markets. Strong trends are characterized by impulsive displacements in specific directions and this is what I seek to ride on. The pullbacks or corrections are lethargic. I take advantage of inefficiently traded regions because they are used as anchor points for retracement. I trade Forex pairs. To have an edge in the market I have a minimum of 1:3 RRR. I use the market structure to determine the adjustment of my stop loss and to also break even. I take partial profits as the trade moves in my direction.

Seun A. is one of our signals strategists in the VIP Group. His strategy is described below. Seun A’s Strategy: As a day trader, I trade mainly the short-term swings of the market either to the up or down as the price presents itself during the New York A.M. session. I trade indices so I intentionally allow any high-impact news at 1:30 pm Nigerian time for the day if there is any to play out and wait it out till the New York exchange opens equities at 2:30 pm Nigerian time. As soon as the 2:30 PM time strikes, I compare the London session high and low of the day in order to make a decision on which short-term high or low I should ride with the price to tag. However, I base my decision on what the daily candle is showing me to likely expand to judging from whatever the previous daily has done. If the current daily candle shows a willingness to move up, then I enter a buy position during a temporary retracement down at 61.8% retracement level on the Fibonacci tool and target the London session high as the short-term swing high. At this point, if the price is climbing up with more momentum, then I'll target the previous day high if it has not been tagged yet during the London session of the same day. And vice versa for a Sell setup. My risk control is dependent on the short-term retracement on the Fibonacci tool when my entry decision has been made. I usually put my Stop Loss at the price level which tallies with the 0% level of the Fibonacci tool. To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: www.predictmag.com

USDC is the second-largest stablecoin, behind Tether (USDT), boasting a $42 billion market cap. Circle, the issuer of USDC, has close ties with BlackRock and, by proximity, the Fed. The company recently announced its plans to shift 80% of its holdings into a BlackRock government-only money market fund. AND… BlackRock has laid out plans to apply for access to the Fed’s reverse repo program, RPP. As Barclays put it, “RRP access would give USDC indirect access to a central bank liability and make it a closer substitute for insured bank deposits and CBDC.” Meaning? As founder of Coinbase Brian Armstrong put it, USDC is set to become the “de facto CBDC in the US.” It remains to be seen how this will shake out… (But one thing to keep in mind -- for what it’s worth to you -- is that USDC resides on the Ethereum network.) The SEC’s actions seem to fly in the face of these developments, putting the fear into those still on the fence about crypto. Meanwhile, we remain steadfast that crypto is here to stay. And we’re hard at work spotting the signals amidst the noise.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
