💩 Mutt heads, macaques, toads... these stupid #memecoins definitely only have bad sides:
🚩are strictly useless.
🚩give a very bad image of the Crypto market.
🚩causing many victims who end up with bags that are impossible to get rid of except to find other victims.
🚩create communities of liars to try to get rid of their bags by attracting new victims.
🚩their market caps skew the Total Crypto Market Cap.
🚩make people stupid
🚩encourage speculators/scammers
Note: If someone tells you that they have won a lot with one of these #shitcoins, just ask for proof with a screenshot of their buy/sell orders, then don't worry if you never get it! 😂
⚠️ Either way, STAY AWAY from these #memecoins because only their creators and conniving whales can make big money, these are the same kind of scams as the "Pump&Dump" organized by small groups.

👉 This only applies to Bittrex US, not Bittrex Global.
👉 This announcement does not affect Bittrex Global, which will continue to operate as normal for its customers outside of the United States.
⚠️ I have, personally, verified my own Bittrex account to confirm that the few cryptos I own on the exchange are #SAFU

🚩#Bitcoin Quick Update‼️
👉 Even if 2 traders can see the same graph differently and obtain different results... in the case of $BTC some guys are absolutely looking for all the reasons (even with no-sens!) to try to explain that its price should drop and below 20K... whereas since the beginning of the year, #BTC's price structure shapes a rather clean bullish channel respecting the different phases, with impulsive waves to breakout any resistance in order to reach higher prices but also by creating accumulation ranges for week/month(s), before seeing some pullbacks on previous high price supports to bounce from there and start a new cycle with same phases to bring #BTC price towards new highs slowly, BUT with confidence & solidity!
Have a nice Sunday everyone! ☀️🙏🏼

👉 Consolidation is a phase where the price structure oscillates within a range. The trend is said to be sideways and may vary depending on circumstances BUT here in the case of BTC it is clearly an uptrend. Once this range is broken it can lead to larger moves, but until the range is intact the move cannot be clearly predicted >>> It's why most BTC analysis today are just a fully waste of time.
⚠️ The longer this period, the stronger the next impulse wave will be, reducing also the risk of a return to low prices.

✅ Hong Kong Narrative V2 - VASP License (for Virtual Asset Service Providers Passed)
TIER 1️⃣: Based in China, with high performance in H1 (10 cryptos selected)
TIER 2️⃣: Not China-based, but with notable Chinese ties (10 cryptos selected)
👉 Hong Kong's recent decision to let regular people trade crypto is a big step forward for the crypto market. This move is likely to bring more investors to the market, which will increase the demand for Chinese tokens which are already becoming more popular among investors in the region.
👉 So especially keep an eye on these 6 cryptos of Chinese origin which are always appreciated by Chinese investors:
🔹$BIT
🔹$CFX (selected)
🔹$IRIS (selected)
🔹$NEO (selected)
🔹$OKB
🔹$VET
⚠️ In the list of 20 selected cryptos, I'm happy to see $IOST as I still own a big bag after selling about 20% of my tokens with 1,800% gains.... then $COCOS & $SAND because in 2021 I had shared in our VIP channel, 2 exclusive winning signals that generated quick and huge profits.
