I know at some point a bull market ends and a bear begins, it goes on and on... I have a 7figure ballpark goal and I intend spreading across maybe 50k - 150k on plummeting stocks, my
question is how can I know when a market bottom has been reached?

[phillorapter]

<The market is very unstable and you can not tell If it's going bearish or bullish. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.When these reports are bullish take some off to the side lines, when news gets bearish start buying. "Keep it simple simple" that bear/ correction was the best thing that happened me. <But all thanks to Serenwintersun for her amazing skills for helping me to earn 23 Btc through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase...

Hello, I love your videos, they're always so informative and engaging. I'm curious, what are the potential risks of investing in cryptocurrency? Do you have any recommendations for a reputable and experienced broker?

[benchpress]

I used to assume that Jim was just too boomer to get bullish about bitcoin, but turns out he's actually more idealistic about bitcoin ethos than most in this field

WurmpInu is making waves! That Times Square ad is just the beginning!

[KỳDiệpAm]

Just increased my holdings in Cortux. Feeling confident about this one!

[StellaTranThanhHai]

Cortux stands out in the crowded crypto space. A real gem!

[nguyenkygBlZ]

Been tracking Cortux's development. Impressed with the progress!

[TạCảnhPhương]

Cortux's team is top-notch. Expecting big developments soon!

[DaoPhuongQuan]

In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Cortux's CRX

[HolliTien]

Cortux's whitepaper blew me away. CRX is the future of crypto!

[NgoDanhTuan]

Cortux's low presale price is a steal. Time to load up!

[RashelYeva]

!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated

[Ben-gs]

Since I became so rich in cryptocurrency I realise that crypto is the future cuz I invested 10k and made up to 36k as weekly profit I appreciate the help of your channel 😃🙂

[PeverellScan]

You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[LaHồngTrang]

Cortux's impact on payment could be revolutionary. Glad to be in early!

[ChungLiênNhi]

Cortux's roadmap looks promising. Exciting times ahead!

Jim's whole "ETF'S are not cypherpunk" idea is cringe. BTC is permissionless and tradfi will adopt it as they see fit and no one has the ability to stop it. the point is moot. JAMES IS 100% Spot On
