 Happy New Year πŸ₯³!

Some 2024 predictions:

-Federal Reserve will start to lower interest rates in Q1. 
-Unemployment rate starts to spike due to AI advances and automation of more lower skilled jobs.
-UBI becomes normalised and a trendy discussion topic in 2024 as a result.
-BTC spot ETF launching is a sell the news event.
-BTC doesn’t make new all time highs this halving cycle.
-Jeffrey Epstein names list still is not revealed to the public. 
-Julian Assange remains in jail.
-More Bitcoiners see the appeal of Monero as their favourite influencers start to shill KYC custodians and federations as the solutions to the high fee environment. Yes, L1 fees are going to $50+ at some point making lightning network unusable. 
-CTV and other soft forks will not be activated in 2024 because some crazy btc core devs will say something trivial like fear of unintended consequences.
-Ocean Mining pools will end up mining every txid as their investors learn the hard lesson of its β€œgo woke, go broke” policy.
-Argentina doesn’t make bitcoin legal tender in 2024. 
-Bitcoin Culture becomes even more extreme and divided especially on Twitter.

2024 will be a great year for sovereign individuals. Freedom, sovereignty and privacy will win as more nation states lose their influence/control over its citizens. 


P.s. Oh yeah I forgot to say, there may might be a CyberPandemic this year. Theres me a lot of preemptive programming in recent Hollywood movies and simulation events led by WEF like Cyber Polygon in 2022 (cyberpolygon.com). 

Best to keep positive though. πŸ˜ƒ

 No idea about price but I just said we won’t make new highs because my price predictions are always wrong. Reverse psychology lol.

 And the lol means we can reverse it the other way which means NGU.

 What makes you believe this halving will be different? Agreed on the ETF being a sell the news event

 I am terrible at price predictions. I just think there’s too much hype and overconfidence going into 2024. I am can be completely wrong at bitcoin flys by $100k.
