Yes, me thank the market for these beautiful prices. We are seeing again getting more and more excited every time we drop down, stop picking more and more up again, my favorite all coins. A lot of you guys already know what they are, so I'm not going to go through them. Every single video, some, the all coins, I'm looking at, I think we do have a lot of all coins with a lot of potential. We also saw XRP slowly start to try to decoupled from Bitcoin. Now it's down 14.5 percent, but when Bitcoin initially had it's a drop, we saw XRP, try and move upwards and that is showing xrp trying to decouple from Bitcoin Bitcoin at sixty six billion dollars in mark koep guys things are falling heavy, but again those of us Who have been prepared knew that this was happening, knew that this was a possibility and are less worried about the outcome now getting closer and closer again, though, it's only a 2.5 million dollar difference between number two and number three spot.
Let'S give this a refresh to see if something changes - um, no okay. So not quite yet. I was no look if a OS passed Bitcoin cash, because iOS did officially takeover Bitcoin cash for a little bit for the number four position now again. Vos is one that had a lot of potential and it's continuing to lose and lose this reputation over time. It'S showing a lot of flaws, a lot of people losing a lot of faith in it and for good reason. Us has not lived up to what they said. They were going to and oh and overall stuff like that they have not lived up to it, but for a moment in time they did break to the number four spot. Now, of course, looking like, we have corrected from that now ripple XRP has the least value dropped, while Bitcoin hits 14 a 14-month lowest now what they mean by here honestly XRP is down fourteen and a half percent, almost fourteen a half percent, it's at 34 cents. I didn't even realize it was this cheap, again possible opportunity for me to pick some more up now, I'm not telling you guys what to do not a financial advisor to sharing you guys what I'm gon na do in this situation, but again XRP. I think, given the job that Bitcoin has been having recently and what the price is, you know the prices it was at XRP definitely is holding its value a lot better than most other. All coins have, I believe, it'd be at like 20 cents or something like that if it was dropping at the same rate or following if it was following Bitcoin directly, so I do think there's a little bit of a decoupling happening. I think we're gon na see him more and more possible again. I am still bullish on XRP for the end of the year and, lastly, tether beads out like point for the number-7 position. Well, it's still here guys. So you know it's official, it's it! You know. It'S a bad day in the market. It'S a red day in the mark, I'm not gon na, say bags. A lot of opportunities do come out of this. You know it's a red day in the market when tether is moving up. The ranks now out now up to number seven before it wasn't even in the top ten. Now it's slowly inching its way higher and higher. Maybe tether is going to be the number one cryptocurrency an X, rpm Bitcoin are gon na have to watch out. Who knows guys, who knows just kidding anyways those that's to do with the giveaway, because it is Sunday and for the first time since last week. I did remember that it was Sunday today didn't lose track of my days and if we do do the random giveaway. Now we have Jason loop. Risa, definitely agree that cryptocurrency today is similar to tech during the tech crash of 2000 to 2002. Like I said, the video we picked was talking about the comparison between Bitcoin and Amazon and well. Things are very interesting for and fair things are very exciting for the long term, but Jason you have won the Bitcoin giveaway. All you, through the claim it is leave a comment down below letting me know that you have claimed it and giving me your Bitcoin wallet address again, it'd be easier. If you message me on Instagram for me to find it, but either way whatever works for you guys thanks so much for watching. If you did enjoy this video, don't forget to leave a like and leave a comment down below and Hornet enter a chance to win. Some free Bitcoin and, of course, please subscribe and have your notifications turned on, so you can check back in see if you did win so you can go ahead and claim it, but guys thanks. So much for watching I'll, see you guys tomorrow for another video These guys, basically accept paying what they're gon na have to pay, because they know they can make a lot more by manipulating the market. That'S just how things are working and it just become a norm either for people that don't know about it, but also don't care enough to figure it out. It'S not very hard to figure it out, but those who do know about it think they are helpless.
And this is the type of stuff that I think cryptocurrencies gon na come in. This was, I think, as part of what's gon na help people shift over to cryptocurrency, because obviously we also have our manipulation. We also have everything going on, but I believe, as we continue to grow, we're gon na see less and less of that happened big news here again: bad news for people who believe that crypto is going to zero and that banks are the best thing in the World but good news for those of us who are actually welcome to use that term. I'Ve never used that before, but those of us who are woke in seeing that there's a lot of a lot of dirty stuff that goes on now anyway. So anyone who turns around and says oh the bitcoins manipulated okay buddy, okay buddy now moving on, we had 63 billion dollars deleted from crypto in the last seven days. This is one of the worst weeks that we've had. I believe, since, like April 2013, something like that it was a while ago since we had something this bad. Now it looked like after hitting 3,600, we were potentially making a little bit of a bounce. However, not looking like that yet now, for those of you guys who have been watching my videos leading up to this, I've been saying that I believe the 3600 to 3,800 range, which my new is pretty much exactly where we hit towards, was where I thought Bitcoin Could fall and even past that to $ 3,000 because of everything being postponed and everyone waiting in into in anticipation for the good news to come now, a natural habit that people have is they want the good news before they buy into something? It'S just the number one rule of how to whose money trading or how to lose money with investments. Is you know by the news, but everyone everyone does it anyway, so I'm trying to share with you guys that, yes, I do think we still have the possibility of going to the three thousand dollars. Three thousand six hundred to eight thousand was roughly the I believe, the second target that I was looking at on our way down the second larger target on our way down now. Lastly, I think we could definitely still see and keep in mind. Bitcoin has support all the way down to the 1000s, although I don't think that's going to be the case, but I've been seeing a lot of people out there, claiming at six thousand dollars was the bottom. At five thousand dollars was the bottom that four thousand dollars was the bottom. Here we are at three thousand six hundred dollars and still apparently everyone was wrong when it comes to predicting the bottom, so be careful when you listen to just something to keep in mind, I have been dollar cost averaging my way down, because obviously we don't know 100 %, what's gon na happen with cryptocurrency, we don't know, what's gon na happen with the price of Bitcoin, it could go parabolic at any moment for any given reason, as we've seen, you know the backed announcement being postponed. No one expected that to happen, but it caused the price to go down yet it seemed like people knew that information before and they were able to do that before so again now any moment in time we can see anything happened. That'S why I'm more calm I'm most comfortable, if I am picking up Bitcoin or the all coins or whatever it is that I'm picking up, if I am a dollar cost averaging it on the way down, but is the five is the bottom? Finally, it there is. No guarantee that the bottom is in right now guys keep that in mind. I want to keep you guys. It works. Everyone who's been in the trailer group and I've been posting daily. Bitcoin updates everyone in there knew we were probably going to these levels, so everyone in theirs excited about seeing these prices - and you know trading according to that - and the possibility, of course, of us having an even full, even further pullback or update you guys more on That, if it does come into play, looking again at the overall Bitcoin analysis, like I said, we are continuing to fall, we hit 3,600. There are different, there are smaller I'd say, supports on the way down to the next major one being three thousand dollars. If you guys want to look at some of the supports and the resistance moving forward here are some of them right here again, these are the smaller ones on the way on the way, either up or down. They are, however, small, so they are easier to break the larger ones are the ones that I previously mentioned. Now. If we look at the overall market cap guys, we are inching closer to that one hundred billion dollars in market cap. We never thought we'd see that right majority of people did it now we're at 121 billion with a 54.3 % Bitcoin dominance. And if you look at the prices, you could see that almost any alchemy trade that you would have entered right now, you would have hit a stop loss unless your stop-loss is like minus 25 %. But at that point you should probably reconsider that. It'S not it's. Not a very good move. If you look at 24-hour change, we have very few crypto currencies in the green 4 out of the 5 are stable coins, so linky breaks its way into the top 100 being up 3 %. That'S what type of day it is right. Now we're seeing USD coin as well, obviously another stable coin. So here we go 4 out of the no 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I can't count five out of the six biggest movers in the green direction. Again, this is in the red, but it's the smallest red mover. I guess. Oh, we have to Heather after guys, there's a lot of it's it's a bad day in the market when stable coins are dominating the 24 hour change. If we look the biggest losers, stellar is down exponentially Aeons down pun, DX's, down face potential tokens down. Some Syrian Labs is down Bitcoin cash. Thank God is down arc is doubt icons down cardano's down Silica's down cut every single cryptocurrency that you could possibly want to buy just coming a few days after Black Friday this week, I guess they knew guys. I'Ve been saying it. Crypto Black Friday is the best day of the year. They decided to give us a crypto Black Friday week. Ok, crypto black week. Look at that, so you guys can think. Like many other students, you may still be trying to weigh the advantages of attending school online against those of attending a traditional school. We know this is an important decision, which is why we've taken the time to survey some former students who have already graduated from an online program. In our survey, we asked what they liked most about online education programs compared to a physical college.
Here's a look at some of the benefits they mentioned most often! When it comes to taking online courses, being able to work from home is clearly one of the big advantages. Unlike having to go to a classroom each day, you're able to work in your environment and feel completely comfortable. That means you have the freedom to listen to music while you work or take a test in your pajamas. The ability to work from your own unique environment is something a traditional school just can't offer. If you were to take classes at a typical college university, you're generally hamstrung by the courses it has to offer. Most colleges offer the same basic classes, but there are definitely some unique ones out there once you get past prerequisites. By enrolling in an online school, you can choose the education program that has the classes you're really interested in. Perhaps the most universally appreciated advantage of attending school online is the flexibility it offers in a student's schedule. With so many students needing to work full time jobs just to get by, having the ability to spread school work around a busy schedule is a must. Online courses can give you the flexibility to take your classes morning, noon, or night. You could even study on the weekend and attend to your job during the week. A good number of students in our survey mentioned that they were able to graduate early by taking their classes online. It's not because the courses at an online university are easier though - students can simply manage a larger course load online. By having a flexible schedule, many people find they are able to handle more credits per semester and possibly even graduate faster, saving them time and money. They usually have an online college help and can ask questions any time. Finally, many students have found that taking classes online is actually less expensive than attending a physical campus. While the actual cost of tuition may be similar, there are other ways you can save by getting an online education. For instance, since you'll be working from home, you won't have to worry about spending gas on a daily commute. Online courses also tend to require less supplies and resources, since the majority of your work is completed over the computer. So you just entered high school and parents are already telling you that you need to get a college degree in order to have a nice paying career. This transition between middle school and high school is no laughing matter. At a time where adolescence change is happening in every kid's body some make wrong choices that will severely diminish their chances at a good life. Others make the right choices and go on to becoming a successful person.
In order to get into a college, a student must complete his high school curriculum with no failing grades. Some colleges require standardized tests called the SAT's or ACT's. Both hold exactly the same weight. Other colleges require application essays as well as multiple letters of recommendation from school faculty or job businesses. Top well-known colleges in the United States expects their applicants to possess strong academic abilities, social skills, and athletic qualities that make up a well-rounded person. Such activities that look good on a college application include varsity sports, being the president of a community service club, or going on to win a statewide competition in science. The most important factor in a college acceptance letter is one's grade point average, or G.P.A. This GPA is a number that is decided by how well one has done in his high school academic classes. Straight A's would be a 4.0 out of 4.0, straight B's being a 3.0, and so on. Four points for an A, three points for a B, two points for a C, and one point for a D. You add up the total amount of points and divide it by the number of classes you are taking. This is what is known as the unweighted gpa. Now, there's something called the weight gpa, which is in a sense, giving a bonus point for taking an AP class. In this case, if you got an A in an AP class, you would get five points and so forth. At most high schools, an extra point is given for taking a honors class or AP class. This gpa would be out of a 5.0 scale. There's some variations in what colleges expects around the country. The University of California and California State University, for instance, has what it calls the UC/CSU gpa, which is for students living in California. They give an extra point for a few honors and all AP classes. Using this UC/CSU gpa, students then apply to the UC or CSU colleges. Elsewhere out of state, you would have to calculate another gpa that may or may not be the same as your UC/CSU gpa. Over the past several years, many people have begun to question whether the benefits of getting a college education outweigh the costs. While we strongly believe that having a college degree can open doors and career paths that are otherwise unattainable, there's no question that attending school is an expensive endeavor.
Here's a look at some of the most important costs of getting a college education, depending on whether you choose to enroll online or at a physical location. Tuition Of course, the biggest cost you'll endure for attending college will likely be your tuition. In many states, it seems like tuition goes up every single year. Depending on where you go to school and how many credits you take, tuition can range anywhere from $1,000-$50,000 a semester. Fortunately, most online education programs are very affordable. Remember, college tuition is like an investment and it'll be a few years before it starts to pay out. Books and Supplies As any current student could tell you, college textbooks are generally priced at a premium. Even used books can cost upwards of a $100. Many people recommend that you search for your books online before settling on a college bookstore, as some students sell their old books at a steep discount. If possible, try to take advantage of online books or e-books, which are often less expensive. While supplies aren't usually too expensive, you might need to factor in the cost of a desktop computer or laptop if you don't already have one. Look for student discounts if you're in the market for a new computer. Room and Board If you plan on attending a physical college, have you considered how much room and board will cost? Depending on your school, living in an on-campus dorm can over $5,000 a year, if not a great deal more. Some schools may include meal-plans in their dorm costs, but it's still a pretty penny. Personal Expenses No matter where you enroll in school, you're bound to incur your fair share of personal expenses over the year. For instance, things like food, entertainment, and your cell phone bill all add up. Most students should plan to spend at least $1,000 over the course of a school year on personal expenses. Travel One of the advantages of attending school online is that you don't really don't have to worry about travel expenses! However, if you do attend a physical campus, keep in mind that you'll probably be making the trip to and from school at least 3 days a week. With the cost of gas already reaching epic proportions, you may need a full time job for travel expenses alone. |
