💸 Fraudulent software steals cryptocurrency

Fraud with a decentralized network is very difficult, because trying to change data in the blockchain is a futile matter. However, this is not necessary if the deception logic does not touch the decentralized database. This is demonstrated by a fresh attack on Binance, which has already been officially announced and users have been warned to be careful.
This time, the resourceful crooks couldn't think of anything better than to create the good old "Trojan Horse". And we are not talking about trojan programs, which are common in the IT world, but about replacing one software with another, which contains considerable danger. That's how they discovered Clipper, a malicious program that helps fraudsters take over the funds of unwary crypto-currency owners. Do not confuse with the programming language of the same name, popular back in 1985 — there is nothing in common here.
Clipper gets onto users' devices by downloading "infected" applications. Android users suffer the most, although owners of Apple products should not relax either. It is known that the vast majority of cases of loss of assets occurred when reckless people installed little-known software from unauthorized sources, because they were looking for free programs in their native language. Yes, this is a really big problem for a green robot.
The danger of Clipper consists in changing the address of the recipient of crypto-currency to another one, which is needed by fraudsters. So if the user does not check the address after typing or pasting, the crce advises to TRIPLE check recipient addresses before sending, as well as check your gadget for unknown programs that are not necessary for its operation.
The peak of the activity of dangerous software fell on August 27. Today, many addresses of fraudsters have already been blocked. However, you should never neglect safety rules and always be prepared for the unexpected.

Numerous reports about the $HMSTR cryptocurrency airdrop from the authors of the popular game Hamster Kombat are spreading on the Internet. Most of them look like copies of the message from the project itself, which looks like a well-thought-out advertising campaign and placement of paid content. No one paid me for this post, but as a cryptocurrency expert I cannot stay away from this topic.
So the main message is the cryptocurrency price forecast for the next six months. Coins predict an increase in value from $0.05 to $0.10 (X2) for short-term investments for 3-6 months and up to $0.55 (X11) for investments for 6-12 months.
It sounds too optimistic and all this should stimulate potential investors to actively invest in electronic hamsters. But can cryptocurrency on a clicker game really achieve the stated indicators?
In my opinion, this is quite realistic, since the project, first of all, relies on its own supporters. It is estimated that 40 million users per day actively play with hamsters, with a total number of participants of 148 million. Also, the authors of the game and $HMSTR actively attract PR and compare themselves to the Notcoin project, which also reached a capitalization of $3 billion on a simple game in Telegram.
In general, it is more possible than impossible to make money from Hamster Kombat and cryptocurrency. However, investments not from existing users will be extremely important for the project. That is why such a massive information campaign has been taking place recently. Therefore, do not take this text as financial advice, but closely monitor the change in the rate of $HMSTR.

A strategy based on historical data
Now I will not talk about the strategy itself, but about the tool that allows its use. Recently, I was involved in the development of an interesting product designed for trading. Its main feature is that an analysis of historical data from previous years is used to make a decision on issuing a warrant.
You may not have known (or perhaps not even thought about it), but open source data is a powerful force. And whoever knows how to apply it correctly is simply doomed to success. Since any blockchain is open information, there are services that collect and process data from decentralized networks. Over the years, the archives have accumulated a lot of information about stock exchange events, which indicate the volume of transactions, external conditions, the frequency of operations, and much more.
And so there were enthusiasts who decided to use this historical data to develop their own trading strategy. In fact, everything is quite simple:
We analyze conditions on the stock exchange (rate, dynamics, volumes, etc.);
We compare with previous indicators from a specific period of time;
In case of coincidences with successful transactions, we buy or sell cryptocurrency.
Of course, data analysis is important, but not decisive for decision-making. The bot developed by our team takes into account a number of other conditions of the strategy algorithm, but most of them are purely mathematical formulas.
An important task was to get the necessary historical data somewhere, and after a long analysis, we chose the TradingView service. It's just a gorgeous database and APIs available for integration. The validation cycle is only a fraction of a second, after which the bot receives enough data to make an automatic choice.
Our solution is designed for crypto exchanges Kraken and Coinbase, but it is not difficult to expand this list. Testing showed good results that even exceeded the expectations of customers of the cryptobot.

July starts in a few days and this is a rather favorable event for Bitcoin. Historically, even during critical falls, the coin felt the best in July. Currently, most experts who have looked at the charts and studied the cycles in detail believe that the rate of $58K is the limit and cannot be lower.
I also share these thoughts, but I get more optimism not from the publications of experts, but from the contemplation of the “Supply in Profit” indicator, which shows the percentage of circulating supply of BTC that is in a profitable position.
The indicator quite accurately conveys the situation in the market and helps to determine the change from a bull market to a bear market and vice versa. The chart contains a long-term moving average of 1,500 DMA and a standard deviation of 1 SD. Of course, the indicator is not always above 90%. In the difficult periods of 2017 and 2021, deep corrections were observed. In general, the cycle here is set to every 4 years.
This year there were two corrections at once: the first in May -23.4% and the second a little later -16%. If we compare these phenomena with the previous ones, then we can really assume the end of the bull market in 2-3 weeks. With high probability, it can be said when “Supply in Profit” drops below +0.4 SD/
Therefore, the beginning of July or its middle can really become hot not only in terms of weather. Let's hope for the best!

Powerful infestors have secured spot trades for Ethereum

After nine years of waiting and months of intense news monitoring, the issue of $ETH issuers has been resolved. For now, this is a small victory that gives hope for big changes. After the fight between the SEC and $BTC, a number of investment companies received permission to place Ethereum spot ETFs in the US. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is listed on stock exchanges and allows investors to buy stocks that reflect the true price of companies, gold, securities, foreign currencies and, now, cryptocurrencies. After Bitcoin, Ethereum has become the second digital asset available on the exchange, as well as the second in the world in terms of value capitalization. 
It will be possible to buy spot ETF Ethereum by the end of 2024 after all the necessary documents have been approved. However, humanity has waited too long not to wait a little longer. 11 companies became the issuers: BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world and a management position that sees tokenization as the future; Grayscale is a leading promoter of Bitcoin ETF trading, aiming to develop Ethereum ETFs as well; ARK Invest — was one of the initiators of filing an application with the SEC; Fidelity — plans to start trading this November; VanEck — offered to do it as early as 2021, for some reason took the application, but returned it again; Hashdex — already has several ETFs for Brazil, but wants the same in the US; Franklin Templeton is a Wall Street giant who understands the importance of cryptocurrencies; Invesco is a trading giant that will list Galaxy Digital partners as its agent; Bitwise — Only joined the bids in March, but knows what others are doing. 
Interest in Ethereum spot ETFs is only growing, which inspires hope for the strengthening of ETH and the inflow of capital for the development of the blockchain. So stay tuned for news and of course the Ethereum price!

While the US government opposes cryptocurrencies, a probably new government is becoming a cryptocurrency

One of the "hot" topics today is another attempt by the SEC to prevent the penetration of cryptocurrencies into American society. Therefore, against this background, the news from the presidential candidate Donald Trump sounds especially loud. The outrageous politician has dramatically changed his opinion about crypto-assets and blockchain in general.
Back in 2019, Trump spoke negatively about cryptocurrencies and saw them as a threat to the US economy. During his presidential tenure, he simply ignored these issues. However, a presidential candidate recently spoke out in support of cryptocurrencies. True, against the background of criticism of the policy of his opponent Joe Biden and the actions of his administration, as well as the results of the latest public opinion polls in America. It turned out that a significant part of the potential electorate has already purchased various cryptocurrencies, which means that their feelings can be played on.
Is Donald Trump sincere in his position and should we expect positive developments in the issue of cryptocurrencies in case of his victory? The answer is 50/50, which cannot be considered either positive or negative. Politicians always say only what is beneficial to them at a specific moment in time.
However, Donald Trump has one characteristic that adds to optimism. Not only does he have 431,018 ETH ($1.3M), 374,724 WETH ($1.3M), and $750K in various memecoins — he himself is the TRUMP cryptocurrency, with almost $6 million stored in it! Of course, this is not the largest amount of money for a world-class politician, but the very presence of crypto-assets in Trump demonstrates his loyalty to blockchain technology. I do not provide financial advice to buy TRUMP or vote for a candidate in an election. However, the degree of confrontation between the SEC and numerous cryptocurrencies is increasing, and there can only be one winner in this battle.

How much could Bitcoin be worth in 2025?
We often see various forecasts, the basis of which is someone's assumption: "it can be like that because it could be like that." I will try to make a prediction based on certain Bitcoin rules that I have observed since the coin was launched. And make a forecast based on them. There are four such rules:
Bitcoin's bullish and bearish cycles alternate every 4 years. This always happens. The bull market takes 1.5 years, the rest of the time the bear market lasts. This was the case in 2012-2013, 2016-2017 and 2020-2021.
After the halving, the market starts to grow, but not immediately. It starts a month after the event and continues steadily for the next six months. So in the near future you will be able to verify this rule yourself.
A bear market has its own bottom points, 1 or 2. Then the value drops by 70%, and in the case of the second deep — 90%. For example, last year the lowest point was $15,400, and today the value already exceeds $64K;
A year after the halving, the coin could increase in price 2000-3000 times over the next 1-2 years.
Thus, if you take the described rules as a basis, you can try to make a forecast for 2025. A substitution of current indicators shows a value of $200,000 for 1 Bitcoin in the middle of 2025. In my opinion, this is a very good prediction and I would like it to come true. And you?
#BTC #2025

Are you afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2024?
Those who say "no", do not be offended, but I do not believe: the fear of the unknown is natural and normal. However, it is impossible to be constantly in fear, because you can be afraid all your life. Even the most experienced investors are not 100% sure of their next choice because this world is extremely volatile.
However, today we can look back and see which investments were extremely profitable and profitable:
Bitcoin $BTC was the best buy of 2011;
Ethereum $ETH — assets purchased in 2016 are the most profitable;
BNB $BNB — those who bought coins in 2017 are the happiest;
Shiba Inu Coin $SHIB — if in 2019 it was bought for a laugh, today it is a rich man's laugh;
Pepe $PEPE — shame on those who didn't buy the 2023 coin.
Completely different cryptocurrencies with their own interesting stories and features. But everyone has one thing in common: they flew "to the moon" and someone who was not afraid certainly made millions from it. So don't be afraid — build your investment portfolio from different currencies and hope for success!

How much should be invested in Menta to get $10,000,000? I offer 10 real examples from the history of various cryptocurrencies:

1. By investing only $70 in Shiba, you would have made a profit of $10M in just 6 and a half months.
2. PEPE with an initial investment of $19.5K achieved a target profit of $10M within 10 months.
3. Ethereum with a starting capital of $2,750 earned $10M in three years.
4. Ripple coins, whose principal amount is $7000, became $10M in revenue after three years.
5. A $4,000 Litecoin investment took five years to turn into $10M.
6. $5.5K in ADA turned into $10M after five years.
7. EOS currency, $4000 investment grew to $10M in four years.
8. TRX coins, starting at $2000, became worth $10M in seven years.
9. Monero, whose principal debt is only $1,400, has grown to $10M in six years.
10. Bitcoin: An investment of nearly $7K turned into a whopping $10M profit after eight years.

As you can see, some have become millionaires through luck, timely investment and lack of fear. Let these individual stories motivate you to explore the cryptocurrency market.

On Monday, it becomes clear: Bitcoin stops running wild and significant growth is possible. The weekly chart that closed today shows an upward trend line typical of an early bullish market. It gives hope that the price will start to rise after the incredible drop from an all-time high of $73.6K to a humiliating $64K.
However, many market experts are concerned about the cross line. The divergence of long and short forces gives hope, but cannot provide unambiguous confirmation of future rapid growth. There is also some fear of course correction. Unfortunately, the current state of the market also makes it impossible to predict what changes will definitely occur in the near future.
Personally, I believe that everything necessary for the further course has already been done. You may have to wait about a week, during which minor reductions are possible. But this is, so to speak, acceleration before the next further jump.
I also draw attention to the fact that against the background of fluctuations in the BTC rate, many people have directed their resources into numerous altcoins and especially Ethereum. Therefore, at the time of the last fall, almost everyone was trapped: the Bitcoin rate affected other cryptocurrencies and devalued their coins. Obviously, if the majority invested in BTC and not other tokens, the situation would be completely different.
Don't forget that Halving 2024 is just around the corner, so you should already expect a significant increase in the value of cryptocurrency. I believe that everything is going exactly to this and there will be no more significant subsidence. But I emphasize: this is purely my opinion, which is not financial advice. You should rely only on your own experience and intuition to make decisions whether to buy or sell Bitcoin. And a little on signals.

📉Bitcoin could fall to $58k.

Swissblock analysts note that Bitcoin's rally is showing weakening momentum, which is highlighted by the negative divergence between its price and the RSI indicator.
BTC could fall as much as 20% from current prices in the near future, but the uptrend will still resume.

Give reactions “👍” so I can see your interest.

When to expect $200,000+ for Bitcoin?

Analysts at JMP Securities say that spot Bitcoin ETFs could see an influx of $220 billion over the next three years, meaning the price of BTC could quadruple to $280,000.

JMP analysts said that "the activity (and flows) seen so far is likely still the tip of the iceberg," adding that flows will continue to rise substantially.

Do you believe in similar growth until 2026?

I do not consider myself an experienced trader, but I am constantly learning and improving my skills. To do this, I constantly listen to various lectures from really successful market experts with sky-high checks in their wallets and fast supercars in their garages.
I am mostly interested in WEB 3.0 development and have an analytical mindset. That's why I don't just listen to lectures, but also constantly make notes and compare things. So now I have enough data to share with you the three most common statements from professional traders.
The best skill of a trader is the ability to accurately identify a trend. If you know the direction of the price movement, you will never lose money, but only make money. In words, it's very simple: an uptrend is when each price minimum and maximum is higher than the previous one. A downtrend is when each minimum and maximum price is lower than the previous one. But in practice, it takes a lot of practice and a little talent;
There is no single best system. Many interesting solutions, services and methods have been invented today. Each of them is potentially capable of bringing millions to its user. But the main question is not for the system, but rather for the user: if the solution suits him, he will be successful. But definitely not the other way around;
Patience is a trader's good ally. Almost all the speakers spoke in different words about this important human quality. The ability to wait for the best price level and competently close the deal belongs only to professionals. Do not rush, do not slow down where it is not necessary, but rather calmly wait for the best moment.
And what do you say? Is it possible to be successful with only these generalized statements and what else do you think a successful trader needs? Please write in the comments.
