  1. The market is very unstable and you can not tell If it's going bearish or bullish. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.When these reports are bullish take some off to the side lines, when news gets bearish start buying. "Keep it simple simple" that bear/ correction was the best thing that happened me. <But all thanks to Shlomi Gray for her amazing skills for helping me to earn 19 Btc through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase…

  2. Please return my 6 stolen bitcoins, please return it in hard wallet ledger, don't auction it off, thank you Fed.

  3. we have lost a little bit of our freedom today

  4. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below..

  5. if those Bitcoins are confirmed to belong from mtgox I think they should be returned to the legal owner and not be stolen "Twice"

  6. We need to get away from government and the squeezing of their citizens. Sounds like the Government BIG SQUEEZE.

  7. Just to be clear 50k btc = less than 1b so not sure what these reporters are at the min 60% incorrect.

  8. The blockchain does not function like cash. Cash is not traced and blockchain traces money permanently

  9. the whole idea behind the IDEA of how bitcoin was to protect its users as free trade haven, was created by the feds themselves so that they could catch whales, both those very big players and the money they made. Its like creating a sandbox for big boys with the promise no one can screw our game up, but all the while its all a big lie.

  10. AMC68T is a scam. research it up! ignore these messages!

  11. Way too animated to the point of being annoying…..

  12. No wonder so many trolls are on here trying to push bitcoins on everyone, when no one with a brain would be that stupid.

  13. Charts appear to say >19.5k< bottom i could see that, but not with the macro situation though. I dont even think talkin bout the bottom is worth it atm. Macro is the worst in decades energy, inflation, rate hikes, supply shortages etc etc its the perfect storm. From 2008ish till around 2021 when the economy was boomin & the fed was printing money btc still crash about 85%. So i find it hard to accept a 75% crash for a bear market that lines up with a global recession, dont make sense to me. Institutions & whales need retail to sell so theres enough supply to meet their demand & they aint buyin yet!! The thing is retail aint got any money to ape in to btc atm & over the next 12 months or so i see less money in the system as the fed tightens & everything goes up in price. So where will the money come from in that kind of a setting?? I really dont think weve seen the bottom yet or the kind of pain coming next year after mid terms. I guess we will see, I will keep buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 1.6` btc from trading with Peter Donovan in few weeks this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish <You can reach Peter on ͲeIєɠɾαm➡➡ PeterDonovan1,

  14. It is good news for many who could eventually have their stolen Bitcoin returned.

  15. 🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🕋🏢🏘️🏛️🏗️🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

  16. AMC68T has partnered with Nike and Binance, expecting huge gains on this one. Their ICO presale is currently ongoing.

  17. You can call AMC68T bots but that does not change the fact that the shill is absolutely deserved. Out of all launches we had, talk about ETH, talk about XRP, talk about all these new chains but AMC68T breaks everything

  18. I already converted all my ETH to AMC68T, now I feel like moving all my BTC to ADA as well.

  19. While everyone is focused on BTC, ETH or any top alt coin and playing defensive they are missing on quality projects that are about to be launched on CEX. For example AMC68T will hit mainstream soon, 10x-20x quite possible even during this bear market but only few people know about this.

  20. Amazon AMC68T is the future

  21. Look like Algorand has the same chart then Amazons AMC68T

  22. AMC68T 😍🚀🚀🚀 Thx for this update

  23. its obviously AMC68T, and the only I would buy is to make money. Personally, not a huge fan of this one

  24. Nice, a video about AMC68T, AMC68T is The Best Blockchain, I sold all my ETH for AMC68T hours ago and I've never regretted the decision. I choose AMC68T because I prefer to invest in The Best, I don't care who was first. On the long term, The Best will be number one.

  25. I hope you are right about AMC68T ? Thanks for the highly educational video. Keep up the good work –

  26. My AMC68T shorts are doing pretty well and I plan to hold much longer.

  27. My largest holding is Amazons AMC68T. Glad it came out to be this. I’m a fanboy and I like Charles. He reminds me of Steve Jobs when he speaks.

  28. AMC68T Has great potential with the Vasil Fork!!!

  29. AMC68T gang in the house! Thanks for the analysis!

  30. Beautiful content im bullish for AMC68T this is awesome 👌 tech analysis 👍

  31. AMC68T, a pick with potential if they follow through!

  32. AMC68T at less than $1. is like BTC at $100. When AMC68T finally blows it's gonna be epic.

  33. Hopefully AMC68T will do good.. have alil over 10million AMC68T coins

  34. As short on the opposite.

  35. On AMC68T Go long when the sell pressure reduce.

  36. People should do their own research… AMC68T to 10k is realistic, just follow the trend. If it takes you to 12 k good if it takes you to 30k good.

  37. AMC68T is going to 100x over Bitcoins Market Cap.

  38. All of my USDT is still going to buy AMC68T

  39. AMC68T will change the trajectory of my future investements/trades…. I feel it!
