💸 Family office managers prefer ETH to BTC - cryptoslate

Despite this, their contribution remains small within the framework of all institutional activity.

Family office — is a private company that manages the investments and affairs of one (sometimes several) wealthy family.

🧸 Matrixport: The start of the alt season seems unlikely in the near future without a significant surge in liquidity.

«Altcoins Come and Go - Only Bitcoin Remains».

◽️Hype against the background of the launch of Ethereum ETF is over, the dominance of #ETH has decreased by almost 50% since July 2024.

◽️Fleeting trends like memcoins #WIF or #TRUMP - all according to the same scenario: native → sharp decline → oblivion.

◽️Bitcoin growth drivers: Fed rate reduction, increase in stablecoin issuance, micro-incentives from the government and demand for Bitcoin ETF (so far none of these factors is in the game, the market lacks liquidity).

◽️Bitcoin will probably stay in the range of $80,000-90,000 in the near future.

◽️However, the weakening of the dollar = an increase in the global money supply (#M2). Historically, this is a catalyst for BTC growth. Let’s add to this the absence of the risk of strict regulation - and we get the reason why Bitcoin stays afloat at the current market.

◽️The Altseason will not start without an inflow of liquidity. Bitcoin is out of competition.

✈️ «For all 12 years of Telegram’s existence, not a single byte of private messages has been revealed,» - Pavel Durov

Last month, the French Senate approved a law obliging messengers to introduce a «backdoor» for the police.

This threatened the right of millions of people to privacy. Fortunately, the National Assembly rejected it.

Telegram has never disclosed users’ personal messages - and they are not going to. It’s better to leave the market than to betray privacy.
