🧸 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.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump continues to criticize Jerome Powell (truthsocial)

«Many people call for an «ahead reduction» in the interest rate. Despite the fact that energy prices have dropped sharply, the cost of products (including Biden’s egg disaster!) Has fallen significantly, there is practically no inflation.»

«With such good downward trends, just as I predicted, there can be almost no inflation, but there may be a slowdown in the economy if Mr. «eternally late», a big loser, does not lower rates NOW.»

«Europe has already lowered the rate seven times. Powell always does everything «too late», except for the election period, when he lowered the stakes to help Sleepy Joe Biden, and later Kamala, win the election. So how did it work?»
