Back in 2013, a friend and I were watching the prices rise and decided that at $200 a piece, Bitcoin looks like a good buy - we’ve decided to “invest” a few thousand shekels into it. At the time it was difficult to acquire Bitcoin - you couldn’t just get some with a credit card. There were various creative and tricky ways to obtain “digital gold” but most were either too complicated or took too long. The easiest, most straightforward way was through “dealers” - simply buying ‘coins for cash. Through a mutual acquittance we’ve received contact details for a prime Bitcoin “dealer” in our area. We were told that the guy is very private and won’t just sell to anybody. We had to be introduced and meet in a designated location for the transaction. I’ve gotta admit, this sounded really fishy. I couldn’t help but see the parallels between our situations and a drug deal. Still, we’ve decided to risk it. We contacted the guy via email and quickly agreed on an amount, meeting time and location. So, my friend and I took out some cash, a laptop, and drove to the designated meeting location in order to carry out the exchange. When we got there (it was a cafe), we had to wait for about 20 minutes until the guy showed up. We were sitting there, cash on hand, nervous for what’s about to happen… Well, whaddaya know? The big bad “dealer” we were nervous to meet was this 13 year old kid sitting on a Bitcoin stockpile that he mined a couple of years earlier when it was easy. We’ve ended up sharing a a drink, making the exchange and laughing at the absurdity of the situation. That kid made some serious dough - I wonder what he’s up to today… #TONonBinance #XRPVictory #MarketDownturn #SahmRule #BlackRockETHOptions
🔥U.S. Presidential Election: New poll shows Kamala Harris strengthening against Donald Trump ⚡️ A new poll confirmed Sunday, August 4, 2024, that Kamala Harris -- set to name her vice presidential pick imminently -- has drawn level with Donald Trump, transforming a White House race that the Republican had been increasingly confident he was going to win. ⚡️As the November 5 election rapidly approaches, Harris has erased the growing lead that Trump was building before President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid. ⚡️ According to the CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday, Harris has a one percent advantage on Trump nationwide -- compared to Trump's previous five point edge on Biden. ⚡️In the swing states that decide the Electoral College contest in US elections, Harris and Trump -- who shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory but was beaten by Biden in 2020 -- are equal. ⚡️These are considered good numbers for a Democratic candidate who parachuted into the race only last month, when Biden bowed to mounting concerns over his mental acuity and ability at 81 years old to serve a second term. ⚡️But Harris, who is Biden's vice president and the first Black and South Asian woman ever in the role, is in a sprint to define herself to voters before Trump does. #BTCMarketPanic #RecessionOrDip? #MarketDownturn #uselections #Election2024

Market will dump hard, $BTC at 60k is loading……. Don’t miss it this time.
America on Iran 👀 📌 What’s actually happening? • The U.S. has advised some personnel to leave its largest Middle East base in Qatar (Al Udeid) as part of a “posture change” amid rising U.S.–Iran tensions — not a full withdrawal but a repositioning.  • Qatar itself has publicly warned that any escalation between the U.S. and Iran would be “catastrophic” for the region and beyond. 
This sets the geopolitical backdrop: higher uncertainty, possible escalation risks, and markets paying attention to risk assets — including crypto.
📉 Short-Term Crypto Market Odds
1) Increased volatility and risk-off behavior • Geopolitical escalations historically push traders out of risk assets (like crypto) and into safe-havens (e.g., USD, gold). Crypto has dropped in past Middle East tensions, with Bitcoin and altcoins seeing sharp sell-offs and liquidations in the billions. 
What this means: If markets perceive the U.S. pulling back because a conflict is imminent, crypto could weaken in the short run as fear spikes.
⸻
2) Risk of sudden price whipsaws • After past hostile events, Bitcoin dipped below key levels (e.g., sub-100K) and then rebounded once immediate fears eased.  • These sorts of “false breakout” moves happen when traders overreact to headlines.
