The easiest time to buy is actually in the bear market as almost all colors of shitcoins can still pump in the bull market, but I prefer to avoid coins that have been involved in lawsuits with the SEC. Take an example of XRP. Yes, it did try to pump, but it underachieved in the last Bull run. The same thing is most like to happen to BNB if that case drags on for a long time.
It's not altcoin season yet, so we should expect prices to dip further down the road. That, alongside the SEC fiasco, should prevent BNB from reaching a new ATH in the short-term. Considering that Binance is the world's largest crypto exchange, it has the necessary tools to keep BNB afloat for a very long time. Adoption for the BSC platform is high, so I think predictions of BNB reaching $1k will become a reality in the future.
What I don't like is the level of centralization existent within BSC. It makes BNB inferior to ETH. Would you imagine BSC (BNB's blockchain network) getting easily shut down by the government at will? With decentralization, BSC would become truly unstoppable. I think now it's the time to buy more BNB before it's too late. Who knows if a "pump" will arrive faster than we've ever imagined?
Indeed, the impending altcoin season and the SEC debacle are key factors in shaping BNB's price in the short term. The prowess of Binance as a leading crypto exchange cannot be overstated, and certainly, it lends stability to BNB. However, my skepticism is aroused when I consider the optimism about BNB reaching $1k. We need to tread carefully on this road paved with gold.
The issue of centralization within BSC is a pivotal point. The control centralized systems grant governments over them is an anathema to the crypto ethos. If BSC does not evolve towards decentralization, its inferiority to ETH will remain glaring.
While the thought of buying BNB now is enticing, one must exercise caution. Market volatility is not a roller coaster ride for the faint-hearted. Therefore, while a "pump" could be on the horizon, it could very well be a "dump" that arrives faster.
