The Crypto Bull Market Has Left the Station...

 


The Crypto Bull Market left the station today, and if you aren't on the train you are going to miss out.

I was predicting the end of the Bear market anytime soon and I'm going to stick my neck out again and say we saw the 2nd half of a double bottom this week.  Then we ran right up to resistance,  1280 on Ethereum (ETH) and blew right through it, hitting 1430 on ETH just minutes later.

This could be one of those high speed trains you see everywhere except the good ol' US of A.  Or, it could be a big, lumbering freight train.  But I think more likely it is a high speed freight train.  This market has the potential to blow the doors off of the 2017 and 2021 rallies, and those seemed impossible to beat.  Now, keep in mind we are 80% or more off of the highs, so it shouldn't be too hard to lay some significant  track in the coming months. 

I do not give out market advice, and nothing in this blog is intended to serve as investment advice. But, as far as I am concerned, for people who are still not putting a toe into the Crypto market, now might be a good time to ask your investment advisor about it.  Now they'll probably tell you that Crypto is in the middle of a huge Bear market.  If they do that, see if they'll make a bet with you.  Have them pick a coin from my list below.  A month from now you bet the price will be higher and they bet the price will be lower, and see who wins..

As I've done before, below is a list of my favorite Crypto currencies.  Note that I do have some amount of money invested in all of these coins, so my opinion is biased.  But that's why I get paid the big bucks (just kidding).  I would not be surprised at all if some of the coins on this list are up 100% by the end of the year.  That's just six months from now.  I'm already up over 500% on one or more of these coins, and that's during the bear market.

In the coming weeks I hope to write about Alternate ways to make money with crypto.  Sometimes that is in place of just holding it while it increases in price.  Other times it is ways to augment the money you make from the growth in prices.  Using trading bots to do the work for you is one way to go.  It is so much easier now than it used to be that pretty much anyone can do it.  Hopefully we'll cover that and DeFi, and DApps, and DAO, and Sharding, and Staking, and so much more in the coming weeks.

MY FAVORITE GROWTH COINS AS OF JULY 2022

Here is a list of my favorite coins outside of BTC and ETH.  The list below is in order from what I consider the most potential at the top.  If you decide to buy into some, I'd suggest starting out by putting the same amount of money into something like 5-10 of them.  Let them run for a few weeks and then it is easy to see which ones are performing the best. But do so at your own risk. There is a big difference between coins and tokens.  If you don't know the difference, do a little research on that before you buy. Trading in Crypto currency is very risky and you stand to lose some or all of your investment.  As they say, "past performance is not indicative of future results."

Dride Zero - Dashcam on Steroids

I took part in a Kickstarter project to build "The ultimate Dashcam".  One with front and back cameras that would shoot in HD, was durable and low power, and would upload video clips to the cloud with the push of a button.  We'll after waiting more than a year, they did just that.  I received my Dride Zero a couple of days ago and, other than an initial rocky "Setup" process, it has been working fantastic. This post isn't so much to talk about the Dride, you can get that information from them at https://dride.io.   This is more for those people who might run into the same issues with Setup that I had.  Hopefully this will save them some of the time I wasted trying to figure it out. Dride Zero Getting Started 1) Unpack from the shipping box.   To get started all you need at first is the Dride Camera, the powercord that has the cigarette lighter connector, and a 16Gb type 10 Micro SD card. 2) Insert the 16Gb Micro SD card in the slot...

Troubleshooting a Discourse Update on DigitalOcean: Resolving Unresolvable Errors

For the past three years, I've maintained a Discourse server on a DigitalOcean Droplet. Recently, I decided to update it with some of the latest Discourse features. What I anticipated to be a straightforward update process turned into several days of frustrating setbacks. The version of Discourse I was running was already three years old, so I assumed that running the built-in "Update" feature would suffice. However, after clicking the update button, the progress bar sluggishly crawled forward over the next half hour, only to display the dreaded message: "Error – Update Failed." The logs provided little to no help, but based on my experience with other software updates via GIT, I suspected that the failure might be due to the repository head still being called "Master." In recent years, there has been a shift away from using "Master" as the repository head, with "Main" becoming the preferred term. Despite trying several methods ...

Ethereum Merge - So What?

Artwork by Steven Grundy The long awaited Ethereum "Merge" is finally upon us.  I've heard people say "So what".   So what?  I think they don't understand the implications of the merge.  Either that or they really are betting against Ethereum. I think this upgrade is probably the biggest thing for Ethereum since smart contracts first came out.  This change has the possibility of upsetting the apple cart in terms of Ethereum and BTC.  That's a big claim, but I really think it's possible. The Ethereum Merge has been set for the week of September 19th, 2022.  The merge is when the Ethereum execution layer will be joined with the new proof of stake consensus layer.  What does that mean and why should I care? What it means is that Ethereum will be changing from an energy intensive Crypto coin like all others to a 99% more efficient crypto coin like only a few have done.  Right now Ethereum is mined just like BTC and a host of other Crypto cur...
