My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.

I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.

When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.

Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.

My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.

Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.

One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.

I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.

I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.

I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has suggested Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as a top candidate for the proposed crypto policy role in Donald Trump’s second administration.

In a Nov. 20 post on X, Hoskinson outlined key qualifications for a “Crypto-Czar,” emphasizing neutrality, collaboration across protocols, and a firm grasp of crypto’s unique value. He also criticized the current administration’s regulatory missteps in the sector.

Hoskinson argued that Armstrong’s leadership at Coinbase makes him an ideal fit. Under Armstrong’s guidance, Coinbase became the largest crypto exchange in the US and one of the first publicly traded crypto companies.

Hoskinson highlighted Armstrong’s resilience in navigating the government’s regulatory challenges and pointed out his ability to unite the industry and spearhead legislative progress. He stated:

“Coinbase has grown into one of the pillars of crypto and has had to endure the unfair tactics of a government committed to regulation through enforcement. I know [Armstrong] could build a broad tent coalition to bring the industry together and help us get the government rallied behind real action including passing new laws.”

While Hoskinson praised Armstrong’s credentials, crypto community members suggested other candidates, such as pro-XRP attorney John Deaton, for the role.

Driving crypto legislation

Meanwhile, Hoskinson also detailed his plans to support legislative efforts for the crypto industry.

Drawing from his experience in Wyoming, where he contributed to passing 31 crypto-focused laws, he aims to work closely with Congress to address federal overreach and establish regulations that attract traditional industries to blockchain.

In January, Hoskinson’s company Input Output‘s Policy initiative will launch “Operation Baseline,” a project to survey the US crypto landscape, identify inefficiencies, and propose actionable policies. He plans to share these findings with lawmakers and the new Crypto-Czar to ensure clear objectives for regulatory reforms.

Hoskinson stressed that collaboration within the industry is crucial to making the US the leading hub for crypto and blockchain innovation. He stated:

“The president’s goal is to make America the best place in the world to start and run a cryptocurrency and blockchain business. We as an industry have to come together to make that happen.”

The Bitcoin (BTC) price recently plunged to $65,000, shaking investor confidence amid widespread selloffs across the market. However, Ben Armstrong, also known as BitBoy Crypto, remained resolutely optimistic about Bitcoin’s trajectory. Despite the setback, Armstrong took to X to reassure his followers that Bitcoin is still poised to reach the coveted $100,000 mark this year.

Ben Armstrong Optimistic About BTC’s Future

Acknowledging the unpredictability of the market, Armstrong weighed in on the day’s events. He noted that while Bitcoin’s movement may have defied his expectations, such fluctuations are native to the volatile nature of crypto trading. “Win some, lose some,” he remarked, emphasizing the resilience of Bitcoin amidst market turbulence.

Earlier, he stated that the Bitcoin price was going to make a “big move” today. However, his expectations were slashed as the entire crypto market crashed massively. Meanwhile, Armstrong’s unwavering confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects echoes sentiments shared by other prominent figures in the crypto community.

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe spotlighted the ongoing bull cycle. In addition, he noted that the recent downturn represents an opportunity for investors to capitalize on discounted altcoins. Moreover, he emphasized that many of these altcoins are trading at significant lows relative to Bitcoin.

Van de Poppe’s analysis underscores the prevailing belief that Bitcoin’s dominance in the market will eventually pave the way for a broader altcoin rally. Additionally, the analyst also noted that the bull run isn’t even priced in as the Bitcoin price has been rallying owing to the positive response toward the newly launched Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Moreover, the upcoming Halving event could be a potential catalyst for Bitcoin’s price surge, further fueling optimism among investors. With the diminishing supply of new Bitcoin, there is anticipation for a supply-driven rally that could propel the crypto to new heights.

In contrast, the trading volume for BTC soared 61.97% to $48.06 million in the last 24 hours. The crash in BTC’s value was triggered by massive long liquidations. According to Coinglass data, $186.13 million worth of BTC was liquidated in 24 hours. Out of this, a massive $136.40 million liquidation was attributed to longs, which catalyzed the recent crash.

Moreover, the Bitcoin open interest slipped 5.85% to $35.55 billion, signalling that even derivatives traders are pulling out their positions. Furthermore, the BTC options expiry also triggered the latest bearish turn.
