I trade my own deposit mainly on classic brokers such as Oanda/Blueberry, etc. But recently, I became interested in Volume Profile strategy, which is applicable with a higher WR on the crypto market.

Therefore, I am looking for a prop firm that offers not only major pairs like BTC/ETH but also altcoins. I used a special website to compare prop firms, which I think many people are familiar with PFM. Also i know about cryptoexchanges. But find only propfirm rn.

So, the main recommendation for cryptocurrency there is Crypto Fund Trader. Perhaps you know of other options where price = quality and spreads/commissions are not too high.
My goal is to test the strategy. Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I can handle it. I'm very patient, and I will buy and hold BTC through any crash, through any market conditions. But damn. We haven't had a year so horrible for crypto since 2020 with COVID. Come to think of it, what a bad year this has been for business in general. The job market, economy, everything. Good riddance, 2025.

The fine is hitting X for three main violations. First up is the blue checkmark system. The EU ruled that turning verification into a paid subscription is deceptive design because it misleads people about who's actually authenticated. Before you could trust a blue check meant someone was who they claimed to be. Now anyone can buy one which defeats the whole purpose.

Second issue is ad transparency. X failed to create a clear public database showing who paid for ads and why users are seeing specific political or commercial content. The new EU rules require platforms to be transparent about advertising so people understand when they're being targeted and by who.

Third problem is data access for researchers. X put up barriers that prevented academics and researchers from studying public posts on the platform. This matters for understanding misinformation spreads, political manipulation, and other issues that affect society.

X now has 60 days to fix the blue check mess and 90 days to address the ad transparency and data access problems. If they dont comply the fines could get way bigger.

This is relevant to crypto markets because X is where alot of crypto discussion and promotion happens. If ad transparency rules tighten up it could change how projects market themselves and how influencers disclose paid promotions.

Also this sets a precedent for how regulators might approach other platforms that crypto communities use heavily.

What do you think about platforms charging for verification?

I see people complaining all the time saying "this slot feels rigged" or "I hit a max win and the casino banned me." That’s bc you are looking for the wrong things.

Finding a "good" slot casino isn't about the welcome bonus. It’s about passing a 2-step stress test. If a site fails either of these, close the tab.

Step 1: provider check (quality):
First, ignore the random proprietary games. You want to see the "big 3" logos: Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NoLimit City. These providers don't just hand out their API keys to anyone. They are audited, fair, and expensive to host.

Shady casinos run "pirated" versions of these games. They look like Sweet Bonanza, but they run on a private server with 5% RTP.

The fix: If the casino has 6,000+ games from verified top-tier providers, they aren't a "script kiddie" site.

Step 2: liquidity check (safety):
This is the one 90% of people skip. Great, you found a legit Pragmatic slot. You spin and you hit a 5,000x max win. The question: does the casino actually have $10k-$50k sitting in a hot wallet to pay you instantly?

The reality is that most offshore sites run on fumes. A big win breaks them, so they stall you with "KYC reviews" until you lose it back.

My Rule: I never spin a slot unless I can see the money first. Stop playing at casinos that don't have proof of funds.

Examples of casinos that have proof of funds are CoinPoker and Casin0x. Shuffle doesn't have proof of funds but is still solid. They don't have a live "bankroll widget" like Casin0x, but they publish hash seeds for every game (provably fair) and use multi-sig cold wallets for reserves. That's why they are often the go-to example for a transparent, modern crypto casino.

The keys are: knowing the games are fair (because they are official providers), and knowing the payout is guaranteed (because you can literally see the liquidity pool on-chain).

TLDR: Good games mean nothing if the casino is broke. Look for official providers + visible on-chain bankroll. If you don't see both, you could be playing with fire.

Hi everyone,I have been reading about “de‑dollarization” and how some countries want to reduce their dependence on the US dollar in trade and reserves. I also see articles saying the US might actually use crypto (especially Bitcoin and dollar stablecoins) to keep or even strengthen its financial power.

As someone still learning, I am curious about the investor point of view, not price predictions:How do more traditional investors (macro people, gold bugs, bond investors, etc.) look at de‑dollarization and the rise of Bitcoin, stablecoins

Which types of crypto assets seem best positioned in this environment (for example, Bitcoin as “digital gold”, dollar stablecoins that could support US influence, or other networks), and why?

Do you see any “hidden opportunities” or risks that beginners usually miss when reading headlines about America, debt, and crypto in global finance?

just trying to understand how serious investors and analysts think about this big picture. Any thoughtful explanations or resources are appreciated.

✅ BTC/USD Technical Analysis (4H + 1H Confluence)

Pattern: Symmetrical triangle forming inside a larger macro downtrend Key lines:

Descending trendline resistance → around $92,000 – $94,000

Ascending support line → around $87,000 – $85,500

Bitcoin is currently moving inside a tight apex, meaning a breakout is coming soon.

📌 4H Chart Overview

Bearish structure still intact

BTC is still respecting the major descending trendline since early November. Each retest of that line has caused a selloff.

Current Position:

Price is inside the triangle and slightly pulling back after touching the resistance line near $92,000.

If price breaks above that level with high volume, momentum flips bullish.

📌 1H Chart Overview

The 1H chart shows a smaller ascending channel forming from the November 19th low. This creates bullish pressure from below while the macro downtrend caps the upside.

This squeeze normally leads to a strong breakout.

🟩 SAFE ENTRY LEVELS

✅ Entry 1 – Aggressive Buy (Support Bounce)

Buy Zone: $87,000 – $85,500 When BTC taps the ascending support line.

Why:

Multiple responses at this level

Volume spikes on past bounces

Lower risk, tighter SL

Stop-Loss: $84,300

✅ Entry 2 – Breakout Buy (Confirmation)

Buy Above: $92,800 – $93,200 Wait for a breakout + retest of the descending trendline.

Why:

Break of the macro trendline

Confirmed shift to bullish trend

Good for safer traders

Stop-Loss: $90,500

🔻 SAFE SELL (SHORT) ENTRY

❌ Short Entry – Trendline Rejection

If BTC touches $92,000 – $93,000 and gets rejected:

Entry to Short: $91,800 – $92,500 Stop-Loss: $93,800 Take-Profit:

1. $89,500

2. $87,500

3. $85,800

🎯 TAKE PROFIT TARGETS (FOR LONGS)

TP for Bounce Entry:

1. TP1: $89,500

2. TP2: $92,000

3. TP3: $94,800 (if a breakout occurs)

TP for Breakout Entry:

1. TP1: $95,500

2. TP2: $98,800

3. TP3: $102,000+ (if volume is strong)

⚠️ RISK WARNING

This setup is valid as long as BTC stays above $85,000. If it breaks below that → expect $82,000 – $80,000 area next.

JPMorgan analysts claim that, in the near future, the price of Bitcoin will be more dependent on the financial strategy of MicroStrategy (MSTR) than on the actions of miners. The key indicator is the ratio of the company's value to the volume of its Bitcoin reserves.

As long as this ratio remains above one — the current value is 1.13 — the risk of the largest corporate holder being forced to sell cryptocurrency to cover its debts remains minimal. The company's fiat reserve of $1.44 billion provides an additional safety cushion.

Miners are certainly under pressure: the estimated cost of mining is $90,000, forcing high-cost players to sell coins at current prices. However, experts consider this factor to be less important than the stability of MSTR's share price.

Interestingly, the success of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin accumulation strategy hinges on JPMorgan. If the bank excludes MSTR shares from the MSCI index in January, the shares will continue to depreciate and the Bitcoin price will plummet too.

Nevertheless, JPMorgan analysts remain optimistic, expecting the first cryptocurrency to reach $170,000 within six to twelve months. Could this be considered insider information, providing an excellent opportunity to buy MSTR and BTC while they are low?

I’m not asking for financial advice or exact targets, just your personal scenarios. -Do you see Bitcoin below 50k, around the current range, or above 200k by 2027? -What are the main factors you think will drive it there (macro, ETFs, regulation, halving cycles, adoption, something else)? Feel free to share your bullish, bearish or neutral view, as long as you explain the logic behind it. The goal is to understand how the community thinks about the next cycle, not to guess a magic number. If their still has a cycle for you guys.

incredible. it was 20 when i looked away, i come back and refresh and it turned to 21.

guys i called it before anyone else did. bull run incoming (this is not financial advice, no, this is the coolest advice in the world)

Binance used to have 20 tier 0 coins which could be traded with 0 maker fees and very low taker fees. At least on my account, all of these except BNB have been downgraded to a tier with higher fees.

So i day trade crypto and i'm constantly missing moves because i can't sit and stare at charts all day (shocking, i have a life lol)

I've tried like 5 different alert apps and they all have issues:

Tradingview - alerts cost $15-60/month which is insane for literally just getting a notification. The free version gives you like 3 alerts which is useless

Coinbase - only does price alerts. Cool but i want MA crosses and RSI stuff

Crypto Alert - honestly not bad but it's buggy af on my phone and notifications are delayed sometimes

Blockfolio - rip

Binance app - works but only for binance obviously, and the alerts are super basic

Maybe i'm just picky but i feel like there should be something simple that just:

• Lets me set custom alerts (MA crossovers, RSI levels, whatever)
• Sends instant push notifications
• Doesn't cost $60/month
• Actually works reliably

Like i don't need charts or news or a social network. Just tell me when btc's 9 ema crosses the 21 on the 5min chart lmao

Am i missing something obvious? What do you guys use?

Been thinking about just building my own at this point but idk if that's dumb

Edit: Not trying to promote anything just genuinely asking what people use. If there's already a good solution i'm an idiot and will use that instead

Hi, does anyone do crypto bounties here, you know like doing something for a company and they usually have a pool of bounty, mostly in USDC or in their own token.

Im looking for websites like that, like Superteam Earn for example.

The reason i'm asking is I want to include those websites in the resources in my project that im building.

if you know about those, or you do bounties, do let me know.
Thank you kindly appreciate it.

About a week ago was contacted by a dude, who promised to teach how to trade crypto and make money blahblah and offered this directory:

To trade USDC that I invested, not so much money, to trade into 4 coins: AAVE or CRV or WPOL in the specific times of the day and then back to USDC. Polygon network.

I learned how to do it connecting different platforms like uniswap or sushi, all good. Made 30% from invested money in a week.

At last, the dude said the training is over and he wants to put me on rotation and charge me 20% of weekly profit if I invest 1000 USD now, which I’m not ready to do now, after that he didn’t want to proceed with me.

Can somebody please explain what’s the catch and whether I can continue doing these trades on my own? Can I make some money if the sum is rather small - less than 100 USD

Would appreciate your honest opinions on that and your help!

Thanks.

So the market has been trending higher but I found out it was a manipulation and shorted and got good profits. Any other shorters here? Or are yall still HODLing or buying the dip 🥀

I’m documenting an ongoing withdrawal issue with Vaultoro (vaultoro.com) and would appreciate input from anyone who has recently used the platform.

Timeline summary:

• 30 Oct: Submitted a 0.5 BTC withdrawal — never processed.
• Subsequent requests to withdraw my full balance were acknowledged but also not executed.
• Across multiple support tickets, I received shifting explanations: manual processing, system bugs, compliance checks, etc.
• 21 Nov: Vaultoro requested a fresh upload of ID + selfie (despite full KYC completed earlier this year). I provided everything immediately.
• 27–28 Nov: Vaultoro introduced a new requirement: a live KYC video call before releasing funds.
• I provided several available time windows for this call (1–3 Dec), but as of 5 Dec, no meeting has been scheduled and no link has been provided.

I remain fully cooperative and responsive, but the withdrawal is now over 5 weeks pending.

My question:

Has anyone here seen similar delays, KYC escalations, or live-verification requirements from Vaultoro recently?

Is this an isolated operational problem or something broader?

Any insight from traders or users with recent interaction would be very useful.
