Everyone on this forum will continue talking about what a dead profession this is. I'll still be collecting ridiculously large paychecks to do things about as well as a chatbot.

Bold of you to think we’ll still be around at the end of 2024
- There will be another war that the U.S. has to “intervene”
- Biden will no longer be president, either he lose to Trump or got replaced by Newsom
- The Fed will drop interest rates faster than anticipated
- Inflation will be > 3%
- Ukraine will lose or surrender more territories to Russia

Irrelevant. BTC hit all time high while he was in office. Plus the US is only one country. The whole world buys BTC.
BTC price collapsed from its peak after China banned it. Where are you going to find a pool of new buyers when BTC has not made any technological advancements? In fact, its story has become less compelling…it went from “using to Bitcoin for daily transactions” to “Bitcoin is digital gold” to “Bitcoin hit a new high every 4 years”

That news is 2 years old. BTC was 43k when China banned it in 2021. Guess what price it is today?
Bitcoin gains legal recognition as digital currency in Shanghai, China
Despite a hostile national policy in China, several courts in the country have recognized Bitcoin and other digital assets as legal properties protected by law.

Despite a hostile national policy in China, several courts in the country have recognized Bitcoin and other digital assets as legal properties protected by law.
China banned it in late Sept 2021. It peaked 6 weeks later and then it collapsed. It took several weeks for the regulations to be felt since people thought they could still get around the ban and it won’t be a big deal. They kept on pumping it until there was no buyer left then it came crashing down. You think the timing is just a huge coincidence?
Again, where are you going to find new buyers when the tech is the same as 14 years ago and when everyone and their mom have heard of bitcoin.

Guess you never heard of the spot ETF that will be approved next year and the next halving. Everyone will be buying BTC tax free in their IRAs. Sure, BTC price collapsed in 2021 but it's right back where it was and trending towards ATH again. SPY also collapsed in 2020 and 2022 and look where it is now.
“Will”
Yes, everyone and their mom would buy bitcoin but only if they can use their precious retirement fund. Is that really your selling point?
What would happen if it doesn’t?
It is not like you can justify the price based on its 14 year old technology that has failed expectations. It is not like you can say it is generating X monthly income. What exactly are you buying? Besides thinking you can sell it the next guy for a much higher price.
I say go all in, not a $1 k here and there. That is the only way for you to make life changing money. Keep on buying. Don’t ever sell. The every 4 year pump and dump won’t happen this year

blackrock is in literally everything. can you make the same argument for all their investments ? I heard this argument over so many times. "Big institutes are in, so they must be confident."This is kind of a big deal. Black Rock must be confident in BTC.

If big institutions are not a good argument then I don't know you would consider good. Certainly not retail trader's opinions.

Even more people will be interested in half baked, crack pot schemes (scams if you will) as an easy way out, means of making money purely based on speculation rather than focusing on traditional means to make a living (because effort & labor is becoming incredibly scarce in a society where people online believe that AI is capable of so much more than it truly is)
People are desperate to get out of the corp rat trap and need to retire before 65. They need life changing money so they fall for these schemes. Some will get lucky; vast majority won’t.

I think the possibilities will be doubling as we see a shift from fee for service to value based care under the population health models globally. This is already happening in other counties around the world (United Kingdom (NHS), Canada, others). I do not think it is an upgrade for pharmacists because nurses and clinical nurse specialist can do the same jobs as pharmacist and clinical pharmacist specialist. What has actually happened in the UK is the government funded primacy care to hire any one but the doctor to work on the interdisciplinary care team leaving some GP's unable to find work according to "The telegraph".

My predictions, 2024:
Stock Market will go down, then go up, then down, finish the year strong.
There will be flying cars (Tesla/SpaceX), moving sidewalks, robot domestic help, and robot pets (Anyone old enough to remember Jetsons?)
Or, just the same crap as in 2023.
My brain hurts, that's all I got.

International travel will get cheaper.
Household incomes above $150k will stay stable, but those below will be subject to more volatility.
The quality of communication in the US government bureaucracy will improve as everyone is using Grammarly or one of the other chatbots.
(Likely this week) The first termination using the Espionage Act of 1917 in the Civil Service will happen due to some idiot submitting SCI information into ChatGPT to write their report.

I predict that there will be a pharmacy school which will set a new record low for the NAPLEX pass rate. Currently, American University holds that title with a 21% NAPLEX pass rate.
The average pass rate used to be 90% for all pharmacy schools when everyone and their mom wanted to go to a pharmacy school.

What makes you think our government is competent? You think it plans a few steps ahead? Ukraine wouldnt be running out of weapons if it did.
It is not a war US wants but if the Houthis can’t be stopped then the drumbeat for war with Iran will only get louder.
The Houthis are battle hardened…they have been at war for last 10 years. A few missiles and bombs won’t stop them. Escalation is a certainty. If the Houthis sink a U.S. warship or shoot down a helicopter causing a dozen lives, war is the only option. The people will demand it. Biden is too weak to pull back especially in an election year.

Because we ourselves wouldn’t fight that war Soviet style like the Ukrainians are. It’s just like foreign aid, we had a bunch of junk from before we were born shipped over. We shipped over that and the guns as we were already replacing them with other variants.
This is why what we are sending Israel doesn’t affect their war besides money. But there’s unease in DC about Ukraine as well as Israel. Even by our proxy empire standards, DC views the current strategy as deeply cynical. The manufacturing isn’t for that stuff as much as to deal with other munitions we will need for our next real war. If we can kill a bunch of Russkies guilt free by proxy with that junk, great, it would have costed more to dispose of that ammunition in an environmentally friendly way especially the coated stuff. And it’s nice to know how we stand in conventional warfare with our enemy. We’re both going to lose heavily. The surprises are that fixed wing aircraft denial is better than we thought, and partisan action sucks just as bad. Pop top tanks were already known.
They’re competent, but the goals aren’t to win, but to keep the defense industry occupied. That’s why even the Republicans won’t cross the funding line showdown.
We don’t really want to stop the Houthis for reasons that exasperate Saudi Arabia who actually does. We want SA to be dependent on us for arms. It’s the M-I Complex life at the Temple of Mars that is our capital. Seriously, walk around the place and tell me where you can stand in the city where a war memorial is not within two blocks of you?

Criticism on how the country has handled certain situations does not equal hate. I see genuine concern from citizens who keep informed on current events.
I have some 2024 projections on how this administration continues to ignore the border crisis/illegal immigration but at the risk of getting labeled as an American hater I'll keep them to myself.
Biden’s poor 33% approval rating:
Why would Biden even run? Does he honestly think he is the best candidate to beat Trump? Trump is not a strong candidate outside the GOP circle. He would lose if Biden doesn’t run.

I would be demanding no action if the Houthis took out a warship. We escalated this, not the Houthis. They would not be attacking global shipping lanes in the Red Sea if Israel had backed off.
Global shipping and "freedom of the seas" isn't US responsibility.
