My belief is that Bitcoin will crash again to below 6,000. There are systemic issues with BTC and Crypto as a whole. My guess is sometime around 2027 or 2028 but I think, as things stand, the sector is not heading in a great direction.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

The entire crypto industry will collapse soon.
Most of its hardest shills simply view it as a way to extract as much as possible before AI apocalypse.
It's a huge con brought on by tech oligarchs. Steal your money, your data etc

Correct. Note that Trump is reported to have asked Netanyahu not to act, and Netanyahu is reported to have responded "no." It's a demonstration of US weakness dealing with an ally which is wholly armed and funded by the US. Extraordinary.
Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president.
Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

It is already clear that this is not a limited attack on core nuclear sites. The target set is broad and includes top military leadership in a way that Iran will see as regime threatening. The IRGC chief is dead. That is likely to drive more expansive Iranian retaliation.

This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies.
Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency.
Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors.
In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund.
