How 1.50$ in BTC changed my way of living.

I mined with a pretty weak card last month,just to see what it's like and how it works. I got a tiny amount of BTC and didn't think much of it. Coming back to it though I saw something interesting to me and propably obvious to you. From 1.5 usd it went to 1.73 usd. Pretty meaninless right? Kept watching it and now it's at 2,03. Something just clicked while I was eating the take out I just ordered. If I had bought 10 dollars of BTC and not bought take out,I would have an appreciating asset. That btc is only going to get more valuable. I currently own something like 0.00004 BTC. But I've now realized that I'm wasteful, and if had I put that extra money into assets (in this case crypto) for a year rather than using it for take out or skins on some game,I would have hundreds maybe even a thousands worth of an asset that keeps appreciating and is CONSTANTLY getting rarer and more valuable. Think about how you spend your money. I've only just realized what it means to have an asset that appreciates in value, and best believe I'm gonna divert my extra cash in there and thank my self in a few years.

Bill Maher just went full boomer

Well that was gross... Bill Maher did a crypto segment at the end of his show tonight full of misinformation and quotes that were disproven months and years ago.Worst part is he compared it to the housing crisis which is the centralization we're all trying to move away from.I usually like Bill Maher's show, but he can fuck off tonight. He doesn't have to like crypto, we're happy owning his shareEdit: adding clip link https://youtu.be/HaJpYjO136o

Crypto moons are a social experiment. You are all apart of it.

People are being rewarded for posting what they think others will like. Others are afraid of posting how they truly feel down to being down voted. We are being taught how to behave and being rewarded to behave in certain ways. I hope this opens your mind. I do not know this to be fact, but the thought interests me.

10 of the most common Top Posts of All Time Summarized in One Sentence

We all know that the front page gets inundated with similar material on a reoccurring basis.For reference, I've created a list of 10 of the most common Top Posts of All Time and summarized them each in one sentence, with some additional linked material and discussions.1. Don't look to Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, and other popular figures as a source of guidanceThese prominent figures need to be viewed with skepticism, as their pockets are deep, and they stand to reap great reward from the groupthink of little fishies like us.References:Elon Musk Is Not One Of Us. Stop Using Him As a Role Model.Elon should not be held up as a positive figure for crypto. Crypto is for the people not a plaything for the richest man in the world.I'm honestly not buying this Billionaire - Bitcoin relationship anymore.2. Robinhood and WeBull are NOT places to invest in cryptoAside from the fact that Robinhood has done multiple shady things in the past like front-running order books and disabling buy/sell buttons, the primary reason to avoid these exchanges is because you don't actually own the crypto when using their services. The rule of thumb, "not your keys, not your coins."References:Reminder: Robinhood blocked several stocks from being bought. They locked the buy button when it suited them. Don't buy Bitcoin on Robinhood. The dust has settled, but we remember.To all the new folks getting into crypto: Do not, I repeat, do not buy on Robinhood.3. Be wary of Youtubers because they have their own motivations and are ultimately trying to pump their own bagsYoutube can be a great source of information, but it is very common for Youtubers to leverage their audience for their own personal benefit.References:Crypto Youtubers Tier ListProof that Bitboy Crypto Pumps and Dumps on his subscribers. So yeah, once again, fuck you Bitboy Crypto and other Youtubers.4. Don't dwell on past gains that you missed out on during previous Bull runsHindsight is 20/20. We all wish we drank from the BTC faucets back in the day but it's not worth beating yourself up over. We are here now, let's make the best of it.References:"If I had bought BTC in the early 2010's at 10 cents, I would be a millionaire now". Truth is: You would have sold long before BTC reached even its 2017 ATH of 20k USD.The Psychology Of InvestingStop dwelling on the past: The best day to invest was yesterday. The next best is today.5. DeFi is the way of the futureThe traditional centralized markets are comprised of middlemen and gatekeepers that all need a cut of the money going through transaction. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Decentralized Exchanges are removing the middlemen and revolutionizing the nature of financial transactions.References:Wall Street has decided you're not responsible enough to buy GME. This is why we need DeFi.This tax FUD is hilarious. Let me explain why.What you need to know about Decentralized Finance (DeFi)Basic Guide to Defi6. There are many ways to earn FREE crypto dailyIt doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, you still have an entry to crypto investment with these ways to earn free crypto.References:A collection of all the possible ways to earn free CryptoInvesting in Crypto with Low Income: How I've been doing itI don't care if you invested $100 or $1M. You're doing something for your future and we should all respect that.7. People have opinions about DogecoinHeavily debated on this sub- the tokenomics of Dogecoin don't lend themselves to sustainable price increase in the long-term, but the laws of Supply vs. Demand are counteracting the tokenomics in this current Bull run. How long will it be sustained? No one has the answer.References:People That Say "Imagine If DogeCoin Went to $10 or $100" Do You Guys Understand Market Cap and Circulating Supply? Dogecoin Price/Market Cap/Circulating Supply Analysis and CalculationDogecoin is NOT a smart longterm investment. Here’s why.Dogecoin produces 10,000 coins per block at a rate of roughly 1 block per minute. That's around 14m coins per day. Let's see how long you can sustain a pump with those numbers against you.Congratulations to anyone making decent profit from whatever coin8. There are a lot of Shitcoins and Scams now, maybe even more than beforeAs of the past few months, Shitcoins have been penetrating the mainstream ethos and serve as a significant risk to less-seasoned investors who might fall prey to scammers and rug pulls.References:Doge paved way to a lot of scam coins: Beware of SH*T coins like Safemoon, Elongate, safemars, safegalaxy, safe whatever.Sh*tcoins like Safemoon are creating unrealistic expectations in the Crypto world9. Be careful about telling others you own crypto, or suggesting to them that they invest in crypto themselves.The more insight people have into your net worth, the more susceptible you are to being targeted by someone with malicious intent. Divulging your holdings and recommending crypto to family and friends can introduced severe complications into your relationship.References:For the crying out loud, stop telling your friends and family to invest in cryptoI told my friend to buy BTC last week. He stopped taking to me after the dump.Anti-coin neighbor gleefully asked me what I was going to do now that I “lost my life savings in last nights crash”10. Your health is the #1 priorityWe are all heavily invested in crypto not just financially, but mentally and physically. It is hard to disconnect and stop watching green and red candles every waking moment. Being able to dedicate uninterrupted focus on personal relationships and other interests is highly liberating and a goal every member of this sub should prioritize.References:Much Needed Mindfulness During This DipStop checking your Portfolio every 5 mins. Get some fresh air etc. Take care of your mental health.Checking your portfolio every 5 minutes isn't healthy. Remember to put your phone down, take breaks, get outside & prioritise your mental wellbeing over everything else!Hope it helps.

My thoughts on LTO (DYOR)

** Not financial advice. Just sharing my thoughts. DYOR**Let me tell you why I think LTO will do a 30-40x within a few months: - LTO is currently traded at 0.63 USD with a market cap of about 178 million USD - LTO is among the top 15 blockchains if you measure by the number of daily transactions. A lot of these are tied to actual real world use of the blockchain, not speculative trading. - It is a hybrid blockchain for securing, verifying and exchanging business critical information. - The native token is deflationary. There is a max supply, and supply has been burned. You can also stake your coins for rewards. - LTO offer solutions for product authentication and supply chain traceability, legal contracts on blockchain, digital signatures on blockchain, inspection reports on blockchain and more. All these solutions have tons of use cases. - LTO is partnered with UN to make land registry systems for several countries, with Afghanistan first in the pipeline. - LTO is partnered with several governmental bodies, and is among other cases saving the dutch ministry of infrastructure for 7 million usd per year with its solutions. - LTO is currently working with chainlink to create solutions for digital identities for businesses, which will allow businesses to make use of defi solutions without breaking any laws. This solution will be available to use cross-chain through the partnership with chainlink. - LTO offer GDPR compliant solutions to those who want it, something which is very important both for businesses and governments in Europe.In my honest and humble opinion, LTO Network is in the same league as VET. It can quickly reach a market cap not far from that of VET. That would indicate a 67x. As VET has more adoption, this is of course unlikely. But I firmly believe that LTO can go 30-40x in a short amount of time. It is currently halted by the fact that marketing is mainly focused on B2B, and it is not very accesible to trade outside of Europe.** Again. This is not financial advice. Just sharing my thoughts. Do your own research. **Edit: Woah! Thank you for 100 updoots🤘🙌 And that in spite of all the downvoters🙏 I guess this is also a nice time to broadcast that I give away all my moons to people who can make good use of them. I will do that with the moons earned on this post as well. The reason is threefold: I want to contribute to the community, I want to help moons become a more liquid currency, I like the feeling of anonymously making a positive difference in someone’s life.

Copying successful posts, in order to mine moons, makes you an asshole who deserves to be banned

Today I get up, check the sub and see this post from user BirdSetFree .... which is a vulgar copy & paste of a post I wrote.You will tell me, ok it happens, it's not a big deal.On another sub, it's a dick move but with no consequence. But here, it has another significance. Because he did this only to earn moons, coz he's greedy. Because it does just that, copy everyone's posts.And you know what's ... awkward? My post he copied was an "off the chest", which asked for honesty, it came out of the heart, it came out of the guts. It turned me a bit over that someone copied without embarrassment a post that asked me to reveal myself, to take the time to write it correctly, to take the risk of rushing the community a little to get a message across that was important to me.Once this taste of disgust has passed, I have one question left: why is he not banned directly ? Plagiarism is ugly, and it is (to my surprise) hurtful for the original OP.

A wallet is not what you think it is

If you're new to the space, here is a quick 101 on wallets.Metamask, Electrum, MEW, Trust, Coinomi, Atomic or whatever other application you call a wallet is not really a wallet.They are wallet applications that allow you to access and manage your cryptocurrency, NFTs or whatever blockchain asset you have stored in your wallet.Your wallet is your private key or seed phrase.For example:You download MetamaskIt gives you the option to create a seed phrase/private keyThe same seed phrase you can import to other applications like Trust, MEW, Atomic and your ETH will be accessible on both Metamask and those applications.So next time you download a new wallet application, you don't have to create a new seed phrase, you can just import the one you already have to manage your existing funds in both applications.Just thought I'd share this since I work in crypto and I noticed that a lot of users don't know this.Happy Friday!

Even as a developer, I am surprised how easy it is to Create and Deploy a Token, even with zero capital(free gas using Matic)

Context: I am a developer usually doing Backend Web Development and/or Scripting. I recently got interested in this space and the tech really amazed me, naturally I started looking at developing in this space.I am surprised how easy it is to create and deploy something even on a L2 Mainnet without any money involved, I literally followed these steps:Connect Metamask to official Matic Wallet site which airdrops 0.1 Matic(enough to pay for tons of transactions).Copy paste an ERC-20 Template from OpenZeppelinEdit the template to change token name, symbol and max supply.Go to Remix Online IDE, add the code, and perform literally two clicks to compile the code and deploy it to Polygon(Matic) Mainnet.Boom, I had the tokens in Matic Mainnet in my wallet.Went to Quickswap and created a liquidity pool for my token using the remaining airdropped Matic.And Boom, for absolutely free, I now had Tokens on Matic Mainnet, which even had a little value because I created a trading pair on Quickswap.BTW, Quickswap is basically the Uniswap fork on Matic.No shilling, since you can't buy unless you have the contract address anyway, but here's some screenshots from Metamask and Quickswap:Metamask BalanceQuickswap PoolIf anything, this should tell you how easy it is to create a token and deploy it, and you should be a little cautious of any new random token which may seem promising.PS: Don't ask me why PZD, I don't know lol.PPS: Same steps exist for any network, be it Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, xDai, Fantom etc. Just that Matic had super low fees and I had free 0.1 Matic airdropped from their site so I went with it.

JP Morgan created its own Ethereum fork for permissioned blockchains way back in 2017.Visa has been quietly accumulating ETH for over 2.5 years now.Amex has been quietly sending its execs to Blockchain conferences to give talks and sit on panels.Almost all major banks have been working with Ripple since 6 years.And they all have numerous patents in the field.Banks aren't going anywhere. They're just making sure they make more money in volume now that their commissions are going to be reduced. Who do you think is pushing up the prices of eth and btc?

Cardano - Step by step guide to staking ADA

Cardano, and its native coin ADA, is one of the most solid blockchain platform projects currently. The team has shown repeatedly that they can deliver on their promises and the project is famous for being backed by peer-reviewed research. Exciting news are coming for this project so be sure to check their website https://cardano.org and their roadmap https://ift.tt/3gPFelH post will be a step-by-step guide to staking your ADA. There are various ways to proceed but we will be using the Yoroi chrome extension. Additionally, although not required, it is highly recommended to use a hardware wallet. Any of the following will do:Ledger Nano SLedger Nano XTrezor model TThis guide will cover the following:Set up the Yoroi google chrome extensionConnect or create your ADA walletSend ADA to your walletChoose a stake pool and delegate your ADAStaking rewards1) Set up the Yoroi google chrome extensionFirst of all, we need to install the Yoroi Chrome extension. Navigate to the official wallet page https://ift.tt/2QMCeGq and download the extension.Download the Yoroi Google Chrome extensionOnce dowloaded, you will need to click 'Add to Chrome' and 'Add extension' to enable the extension in Chrome.It will then appear in the top-right corner of your Chrome browser (click the little puzzle piece icon) and you may want to pin it to keep it visible.Shortcut to the Yoroi extensionNow you can launch the Yoroi extension and, as this is the first time, we will need to go through a few setup steps:Choose languageAgree to the terms and conditionsChoose 'Simple' level of complexitySkip 'Cardano payments URL' and confirm (you can always set it up later if needed)That's it, the extension is ready to use and your home page should now look like this.Yoroi wallet home screen2) Connect or create your ADA walletThe safest option at this point is to use a hardware wallet. If you do not have one yet, you can always create a local wallet to start with (and and transfer your coins to your hardware wallet when you do buy one).2.a) Connect to a hardware walletI will use the Trezor model T to illustrate but the Ledger Nano works similarlyOne the home screen menu, select 'connect to a hardware wallet',Select 'Cardano'Select your hardware wallet type: either Ledger or TrezorChoose Shelley-era wallet, as we want to be able to stakeYour hardware wallet needs to have already been initialised, press 'Next'https://ift.tt/3xAiKel, make sure your hardware wallet is connected to the computer and unlocked, press 'Connect'https://ift.tt/3aSd0Tx new page pops up to ask you to transfer your public key to the wallet. This is expected as the public key allows you to receive money to your wallet. Note that the private keys never leave your hardware wallet. Now click, 'Export'https://ift.tt/2QIScXR, the wallet name, retrieved from your hardware wallet, will appear. Click 'Save' to complete this step and reach the Yoroi dashboard.2.b) Create a local walletThis section is only if you do not own a hardware wallet and want to use a software wallet instead. If you own a hardware wallet and have completed step 2.a, you can skip this section and proceed to step 3.On the home screen menu, select 'create wallet',Select 'Cardano'Choose 'Create wallet'Enter a wallet name and a strong password, then 'Create personal wallet'https://ift.tt/3xBq4GM next step will give you your 15 words seed phrase. Make sure to write it down (on paper, no electronic support) and to keep (several copies) safe and labelled.https://ift.tt/3eIVaDJ you have written it down, you will be asked to enter it to check you have it correctly.Now you can confirm, your wallet is created and you are taken to the Yoroi dashboard.3) Send ADA to your walletWelcome to your Yoroi dashboard.Yoroi dashboardIn order to transfer ADA to your wallet, simply go to the 'Receive' tab in order to copy your address. You can then use this address to transfer the ADA you will have bought in your favourite exchange. Note that ADA transaction fees are rather low at roughly 0.17 ADA.https://ift.tt/331yfOx) Choose a stake pool and delegate your ADAFrom your dashboard, we now move on to the 'Delegation' tab.https://ift.tt/32Z53I5, we need to choose a staking pool from the list. If you do not know yet which pool to use, the best thing to do is to navigate to https://pooltool.io/ in order to find a staking pool that you like, more on that later.Once you have chosen a pool from the list, simply click 'Delegate' and confirm. You will also have to confirm the delegation with your Trezor/Ledger if you are using a hardware wallet. That's it, you're all set and you should see the total ADA delegated onto your dashboard. A few things to note:you can only delegate to a single poolbut you can cancel the delegation or switch pool at any time, there is no lock-up periodthere is a 2 ADA staking fee registration that you need to pay the first time you start staking, so you do not need to pay it again in the future if you switch pool or add ADA to your walletany ADA sent to your wallet will automatically be staked in the pool you have chosensimilarly, the rewards are automatically added to your wallet and thus the interest is compounded.Now the remaining question is how to choose a stake pool. The first thing to keep in mind is that there is no risk associated with staking ADA and the worst that can happen is that you do not receive any reward. First of all, we need to consider the followingEpoch: the staking rewards are computed for each epoch, which lasts 5 days.Fees: each pool will charge a fixed fee (typically 340 ADA per epoch) and a variable fee (aka pool margin). The fees will not be taken from your wallet and you can only earn ADA by staking. The fees are charged to the total amount earned by the stake pool during the epoch and then, the remaining is distributed among the participants of the pool proportionally to their contribution to the stake pool. In the example below, there will be 9,000 ADA left to be distributed to the members of the pool:Total pool reward (example)10,340 ADAFixed fee (340 ADA)-340 ADALeft after fixed fee10,000 ADAVariable fee (e.g. 10%)-1,000 ADALeft after all fees9,000 ADASaturation: in order to discourage centralisation, the concept of saturation decreases the amount of reward to too large pools. Currently, the saturation level is 64M ADA. This means that you should not stake your ADA to pools where the staked amount is more than 64M ADA.Now, let's go to https://pooltool.io/ to select our pool.A few stake pools on pooltool.ioThe important fields are the following:Pool ID: you can copy this address to paste in your Yoroi delegation tool once you have selected the right poolEpoch Fee: these are the fixed fees and should be 340Variable Fee: you want to avoid too large fees but it is also worth paying a bit more to join a pool that you trust. Be aware that some pools are effectively closed and thus charge a 100% fee. Note also that some pool will have a very low, even zero, fee to help them grow but it might be increased in the future.Declared pledge: the amount pledged by the pool operator at the time of creation of the pool, not massively important for the pool selection.Epoch ROS: the expected annualised return in the current epoch, this will typically be around 5%.Live stake: the total amount staked in the pool, it is important that this remains under the saturation threshold of 64M.Lifetime ROS: the historical return of the pool, this shows you past performance of the pool.There is also an official calculator to compute your expected rewards depending on the various parameters: https://ift.tt/3bIKJQh .5) Staking rewardsThe staking rewards are paid with a three epochs delay. This means that you do not receive any reward for the first 15-20 days but you keep receiving rewards for 15-20 days if you cancel your delegation.The rewards are paid at the end of every epoch (for the amount you delegated three epochs prior), hence every 5 days. The typical APY will be around 5% but the rewards are spread over 365/5 = 73 payments. Consequently, the average rewards per epoch is approximatelyAverage reward per epochFor example, this is approximately 0.68 ADA per epoch per 1,000 ADA delegated.Average reward per epoch for 1,000 staked ADAI hope you will find this guide helpful.LinksCardano website https://cardano.org and the roadmap https://ift.tt/3u65iwH wallet https://ift.tt/2Sffaq0 https://ift.tt/3gKYJfn https://ift.tt/3bIKJQh

New scam emerging. Harambe Coin

Some people are trying hard to get naive individuals to buy their new scam coin. It's called Harambe Coin and claims to work with the big gorilla sanctuaries but obviously that isn't the case. There are bots writing in every thread trying to make it seem like people actually think it's a good idea.This was just a heads up and I hope an early warning is enough to slam that scam into the ground but maybe I'm the one who's naive ⚠️

It does not fucking matter that you`ve seen the same question 1000 times, we need to be considerate with our fellow newbies.We should all be happy new people join this sub, decide to move their investments to crypto and we should do all our best to keep those guys around.End of the rant

idk about you guys, but I grew up in the ghetto. Knowing those I cared about & grew up around were destined to work until their dying day or end up in jail out of financial desperation causing them to steal or run a nefarious business kept me from ever being able to keep my mouth shut about Bitcoin

And cryptocurrencies in general. Instead, I spent the last 10 years telling and gifting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies I saw promise in, to all those I cared about most. That one drug dealer-like trick has gotten everyone I cared about most on board in the last 10 years. So for those who are telling those they care about crypto for the same reasons, I say speak on, gift on; otherwise, those at the bottom we were born with will stay at the bottom if we don't give them a little push.For anyone who was going to ask: "How can you gift Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies to someone without a wallet?" Well, I usually tell them to check their email for a cryptocurrency gift I sent them; on Coinbase, you can send it to someone's email. The owner of the email will receive an email letting them know they have some cryptocurrency waiting for them. Once they open an account, whatever you sent them will be propagated on it.If anyone knows of any other options like this to gift cryptocurrency to someone without a wallet, please let me know and I'll edit it into the post.

Crypto changed my life in 6 short months

I've never valued money. As far as my memory goes, I never cared for getting or spending money. Never had my parents, teachers or friends ever explain money and it's value and I have lost a ton of money because of it.That is until I got into crypto and I started understanding more and more about the value of money and how our financial institutions work which completely fascinates me.I started spending less, saving more and now I'm at the absolute best financial situation of my life and I have yet to touch any of my crypto profits.I hope your ride has been as fruitful and life changing as mine in spite of the money (that's just a bonus ;))

Shower thought: The shitcoin universe is pretty much just multilevel marketing at this point.

I recently spent a couple weeks doing a little dive into that shithole of a landscape. Telegram channels, token subs, discord, messenger chat groups. Holy shit. It’s basically just a twenty year old dudes version of multilevel marketing.You get in early and then everyone you get to sign up after you makes you progressively more wealthy (in theory). And the people you bring on need to bring in more people so they can make money! Because these shitcoins have ZERO utility, the only hope to make money is by hyping people up that they can also make money and that it’s “still early!”And because of all of the crypto millionaire stories everyone’s heard, everyone who gets into a coin early thinks that could be them and so they froth at the mouth telling anyone who will listen how incredible the coin is even thought they can’t actually explain WHY THE FUCK THE COIN EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE.Your shitcoin is going to make you as wealthy as that chick from high school that massagers her friends about her green cleanse.No one needs your green cleanse Alicia. There’s a vitamin shop a mile away. Why does your product exist. TELL ME WHY IT EXISTS!

It doesn't matter if you invested $100 or $500K. Bottom line is, you're doing something to improve your future.

Time in the market is the key factor, so if you're patient, you'll make decent money regardless of how much you have invested.Even if all you have invested is a few hundred dollars, that amount could be significant to you, and the gains you receive will also be significant, A smaller investment at first is ideal to test the waters, it gives you time to understand how crypto works, and do your own research on projects. DCA helps manage your Crypto investment, and is a favoured method of the sub.When I started I would've been amazed just to double my investment, things are looking good now thanks to my patience. Remember, only invest what you can afford to lose, do your own research, and don't be afraid to ask, we're friendly here.

I was looking at the posts today and noticed that increasingly there are posts like: "stake this -APY 50%, stake that on DeF API 200%. Change my mind or downvote me if you like, but WHERE DOES THE MONEY for this COME FROM? Most likely from suckers who fall into this coming for quick gains. I would like to see a reasonable explanation how this money is created, or if it's made from thin air ? Back in my day, this was the literal definition of a Ponzi scheme and a HUGE red flag.I would like to be wrong as a crypto enthusiast but I fear for the worst, again after 2017.EDIT: just to reiterate, because some people seem to think that I'm a noob, I'm in the space since 2016, and I've seen it all, from ICO's to even Bitconnect (Wassawassa) . My main problem is that here value is being created out of thin air and has no correlation to anything.EDIT 2: I don't really understand the downvotes, i actually think we had a couple of good insights and discussions.

A quote from 508 years ago that explains why we are still early: Nicolo Machiavelli

“It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle than to initiate a new order of things; for the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order; this lukewarmness arising partly from the incredulity of mankind who does not truly believe in anything new until they actually have experience of it.”From The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli, 1513For the vast majority of the world population, who have never even carried out a send / receive transaction with Bitcoin (let alone with any faster crypto technologies), they are not yet at the 'lukewarm' stage of acknowledging that the new order of permissionless value exchange between individuals may be better than the old order of fiat money and bankers.Those of us who 'actually have experience of it' are few and far between, and many of us are still pretty lukewarm.This cycle will probably bust in the short term but - in the long term - change is coming.

Thomas Jefferson quote on banks and currency. This is why we need cryptocurrency.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."- Thomas Jefferson

For the crying out loud, stop telling your friends and family to invest in crypto

The first and only rule of persuading people to invest in cryptocurrencies is don’t.We all want this community and the market to grow. I also understand that you want your friends and family to catch this golden opportunity. But persuading them to put their money in something they’re uncommitted to, leads to FUD and paper hands.Understand that telling them, “I earned X amount in X days” translates to “[you could’ve] earned X amount in X days [but didn’t].” In their minds. You’re leveraging their fear of missing out. Trust me, I would’ve loved to take the leap of faith back in 2016 when I found out about crypto. I didn’t and I’m okay with that because, this year, I took the opportunity. Today, I live with missing out on those gains because it was the logical decision for me then. So let them decide what’s logical to them now.If you’re itching to share, then talk about it like a passion or hobby. Share the fundamentals: what it’s trying to solve; how it made an impact; what you’ve learned: what you’re excited about, share the good and the bad. Most of all, share with zero expectations that they’ll invest or even care.If you really believe in the value of cryptocurrency—the gains, opportunities, tech, and values—then let it speak for itself. It doesn’t need evangelists, it isn’t a religion; it’s a show, so grab your popcorn and sit the hell down!

Its crazy how fast a Bull Market makes you forget how it feels to be in a Bear Market.

I got into crypto during the last Bull Market in 2017. So most of my time here we've been in a Bear Market. And being in a Bull market for a few months has almost completely wiped the memory that we ever were in a Bear market for me, and also it almost makes it feel like the Bears will never come again, even though they most certainly will.

How do you know a Coin, Token or project is worth anything?

No coiner here. Happy to stay poor. Or change my mind.Are you folk aware of the absurdities creeping into crypto? Where do you draw the line? I mean look at Doge: if that can ‘moon’ to >20 cents and stay there as long as it has, what does that say about all the intellectual and sophisticated projects? What is the point?What criteria are YOU going to use to say ‘I am investing wisely?’Saw the AMA on VeChain or VeToken or VeCoin or Ve Thor or whatever it’s called. I’m sure the founders and devs are earnest and mean well. Yet to a critical outsider, I’m sorry, it’s just Hopium. Gobbledegook. IoT, 5G, ‘DeFi. Etc. Only one practical application appealed to me: issuing COVID vaccination ‘passports’ in Malta. Even then, why does this need a blockchain? It’s over engineering, or what am I missing.You folk here need to avoid the echo chamber effect. You need to be able to absorb challenge.Right now, crypto seems to me to be getting crazier and more unhinged every day. Yes, there is limited adoption of Bitcoin in particular, but there is an exponential explosion of sheer garbage.Explain to me how this is not worrying.

Most people who say “read the whitepapers” aren’t reading the whitepapers

I’ve been reading the beginner threads these last couple of days where a beginner asks a simple question and people usually answer their question but whenever a beginner asks something along the lines of “how do I know the pros of X coin” or similar, there are people who just respond with dyor or read the whitepaper.Most people I know who say read the whitepaper are actually not reading the whitepapers. How do I know this? Well because I’ve read a few and even though I’m a very tech savvy person, I still understood close to nothing from these papers because they are written in such a hard way that only people with advanced CS knowledge can understand.So what am I getting at here? I’m just trying to say that reading the whitepaper is a lot easier said than done and suggesting a beginner to read one will only do them harm. They won’t understand it, they will instead go on youtube where they’ll fall for bitboy’s scams and will invest in shitcoins.Don’t advise beginners to read the whitepapers unless they are very experienced in CS is what I’m trying to say.

Crypto has helped me stop drinking (I’m a dad of three and my drinking was getting out of hand, it was no good for me or my kids).

I quit 46 days ago and have been using an app to track my progress which also helped motivate me as it showed how much I’d saved by quitting as well as time saved. Well.. Some of the time I saved by not being sh**faced was spent on this sub and I learnt a lot... I also had spare money and I put all my money I’d saved so far from quitting into crypto, just a bit of ETH, BTC, ZIL and ADA. Every time I have a ‘wobble’ I check my Crypto and the itch to drink goes away. All that just to say thank you guys. Have a great day and may the crypto gods smile on you today.

Got into crypto late January and now I’m absolutely addicted

First got into crypto because my mom mentioned investing in dogecoin, I had never heard of it. Put in about 300 I think, but quickly sold it when it wasn’t doing anything (big mistake now) due to the pump. I had put in 60$ again before the pump and made 200$. But Dogecoin led me to doing research and learning about crypto. I bough Eth, got 1.4 eth and up $1,200, definitely not selling. I consume cryptocurrency content all day everyday, I’ve learned so much, even took a trading course.Now in into vechain, cardano, harmony, and a small amount of dogecoin.I’ve been putting all my free cash into crypto, I started two jobs this week just soo I have more cash to invest, haven’t worked in almost two years due to grad school. Also doing Uber, I’m addicted here. All this is worth because if I plan my cards right, I could be a millionaire by the end of the next bull run.I’ve also challenged myself to turn $100-1000 by leverage trading, up $144

Stop telling people about your crypto. Especially if they know where you live.

I just saw a popular thread on the r/Bitcoin sub about somebody telling their neighbors that they bought Bitcoin. The whole thread was full of comments about how OP will have the last laugh. Yeah they were all joking but it’s all fun and games until your neighbors are struggling for money and you’re rich for “being lucky”.Being crypto rich is not like being fiat rich. You might have your private keys somewhere in your house and they can be taken from you. There will come a day when people will come looking for those keys. Especially if hyperinflation ever happens. Ten years from now people won’t know if you have $200 in Shitcoin or $2m in Bitcoin. They will assume it’s the latter. People will break in and rob you for a PS5, so do you think they will hesitate for a chance of stealing millions? Even if you keep your crypto on your exchange, burglars don’t know that. Even if you sell your crypto for fiat, they don’t know that. By the time people find out you have nothing, there could already be somebody in your house and they might even be angry that you wasted their time.For those of you that don’t know, there is a called company Ledger, who basically sells fancy USB sticks for you to store and access your crypto (it’s not actually on the stick itself btw). The Ledger database was recently hacked and the details of customers were leaked. This didn’t affect their crypto directly, but it did mark them as owners of crypto. Many of these people received death threats or harassment. I don’t know if anybody was hurt, but you don’t want to be in that situation. I was included in the leak, but fortunately I had already moved house. I can still be a target though. I get people trying to trick me via email and I also had to change my phone number.You do not want to be marked as a crypto owner. Even if you live in the safest neighborhood, how do you know one of your neighbors won’t report you to the IRS as petty revenge? You should pay your taxes btw, but everybody’s situation is different and you don’t want to be investigated for silly reasons.This advice especially applies to those in the USA where people have guns. Your local corrupt policeman might one day like to investigate “rumors” of you selling drugs or something silly. You just don’t know. It’s not worth it.EDIT: My main point is that it's better to avoid drama. Maybe you live in a safe neighborhood. Maybe you have hidden your private keys in the most obscure place. Maybe they're in a safe. There probably aren't any rogue cops out to get you. Maybe you have a gun and know how to use it - but why go through all of that? Why risk having to kill an attacker out of self-defence? Nobody knows your exact situation until they try to get your keys or unless you tell them (plus, criminals aren't always smart). By the time they're in your house it's too late really. Also, you probably won't get robbed. Robberies are not that common, but then neither are crypto holders. I'm just advocating being quiet about your holdings, not living in fear of a death squad out to get you.

$ 4.2 million in bitcoin options expire on Friday. How would it affect the price?

Correction: USD 4.200 MILLION USDThis Friday, April 30, there will be the expiration of bitcoin options (BTC) equivalent to USD 4.2 billion. This generates expectations in the market, since in previous months this date has caused an upward movement in the value of the cryptocurrency.Bitcoin options are an investment tool that allows you to set the purchase or sale price of the cryptocurrency at a certain time in the future. These contracts can be executed at any time or, failing that, they will become effective when the expiration date arrives. Unlike futures, the holder is not obligated to buy or sell the asset if he chooses not to.The last day for monthly options to expire is the last Friday of each month. In the last expiration dates, the price of the cryptocurrency has undergone variations that report a certain trend.In this sense, the statistics indicate that before the options expire there is an average drop of 26% in their value; however, after expiration the price rebounds and rises to an average 65%.The blue lines indicate the expiration date of the bitcoin options, followed by increases in price.This variation in price can be seen in the figures for the last few months. Following the previous bitcoin options expiration dates - which were December 25, January 29, February 26 and March 26, 2021 - the value growth was 86%, 102%, 43% and 29% , respectively. Also, this upward movement was sustained for 14, 25, 14 and 20 days.However, it is also noteworthy that prior to all these expiration dates there had been a depreciation of bitcoin, which reached 31%, 26%, 19% and 27% in December, January, February and March, respectively. This downward trend had been maintained for a period of 21, 6, 12 and 10 in each of these months, respectively.With respect to April, this analysis places the expiration date on Friday, April 23, despite not being the last Friday of the month, at which time the "official expiration" will take place.Taking into account the trend described above, the upward wave would have already started: from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th there was a brake on the decline in price that had been observed, which then resumed until it fell to the USD 47,499 line. From there, the increase has been almost continuous, surpassing USD 55,000 on Tuesday, April 27.Can Bitcoin exceed its all-time high?Despite all that has been said, the "real date" for expiration is Friday, April 30, which causes some uncertainty as to what may happen this time.Generally, before the expiration date it is sought to take it to the Max Pain Point or "point of maximum suffering", which this month stands at USD 54,000 according to Deribit. This would be the most beneficial point for the sellers and the most damaging for the buyers. If the average increase reported in recent months were to be repeated (approximately 65%), by mid to late May the new value would be around USD 90,000 and would mean a new all-time high for the cryptocurrency.Key facts:After the latest option expirations, BTC had an average appreciation of 26%.The maximum increase occurred after the end of January, with a 102% appreciation.

And after a long 3,5 years in crypto... I got hacked and my funds were stolen

I have seen these kind of posts many times myself. "This wouldn't happen to me, I'm very careful in the crypto world" Well, I'm here to tell you that if my funds get stolen this easily, yours can too.Before we start: I haven't given anyone any kind of info. I have been in crypto long enough to know its the wild west of the finance world. I've done my research, I like trading, I like watching people make gains and or be passionate about crypto. Normally you would know where you messed up but this time....I don't even know how it happened....One day Im sitting there waiting for my XLM orders to get filled and Im getting this random email that someone from SWEDEN??? ( I live close to germany ) was accessing my account. Immediately I went onto my email to stop anything from happening but it was too late already ( I later found out ). He must have had access to my email as well because you cannot log into bittrex without an email verification code. But that makes it worse because my email is 2FA'd with my phone number so how could he have accessed my account(s)? It's just mind blowing honestly. I'm a very ' safe ' kinda guy and I don't do random stuff online which could endanger my funds. Go back to my early posts you'll find me asking questions on different subs about crypto and other related things to it.Sooo.. About $1.5k got stolen from my bittrex accountIkr? WHO EVEN USES BITTREX LMAO Well I did because I never had problems with them. When my account got verified in 2017 the exchange itsself was ok but the customer service was horrible. They have low liquidity but the exchange works fine. Anyways the customer service played a big role in this. I didnt even know I was hacked until I got my account back today and saw that the swedish thief ( probably VPN ) stole it that day ( end of March ).I then lost access to my account ( I froze my account that day ) had to start KYC all over again which took more than a month only to find out some random guy stole 0.03 BTC. I can't believe that after 3,5 years this garbage exchange still hasn't improved its customer service. I thought they would have had it fixed by now since there is so much competition... Nope, their service is garbageI know the ins and outs of this sub so the first comment will be, always keep your funds in cold storage. No. You can't do that if you are a trader like me. You have to have some $ on the exchange to be able to trade.My advice: get off Bittrex asap, if you haven't already. ( Like, right now go withdraw your funds ).Nothing else to say, not even that madEdit: guys I didnt get sim swapped my android phone works just fine and I can both call or be called. The cold storage argument I already discussed. Thanks for the help though

I made a joke token to show my friends how easy it is: Communism Coin

I even made a website for it: CommunismCoin.comIt is surprisingly easy to deploy a token and add it to an exchange. People and bots were even FOMOing in before I renounced ownership of the contract and locked the LP tokens and could have lost all their investment. It went from a $5k cap to $150k in about an hour before dumping. I didn't sell because this shitcoin is dear to my heart now, but could have made a decent profit.We are truly in a bubble.

Looks like Robinhood couldn't handle the heat for more than 1 day into their 3 day AMA and deleted their AMA. They just removed their post after ignoring all questions that didn't ask about a crypto wallet, and even then, they refused to give a date as to when they would release a wallet. It's so weird that they would make an AMA if they weren't ready to answer the tough questions. All it did was further confirm that using their exchange is a terrible idea, especially after the GME fiascoStay far far away from Robinhood and remember: not your keys, not your Crypto.

ETH crosses over $2700 USD for first time

Things are looking good for Ethereum. Gas prices are coming down (currently 42 gwei for a <5min transaction) and ETH 2.0 get's nearer and nearer.Have to say, pretty wild to think that it was $100 not too long ago and people were very skeptical on it again with all the ETH killers starting to pop up.Do you think that ETH should be considered an 'alt' still, or has it now cemented itself as something more?

Owning 1 ETH in 3 years will be like owning 1 BTC today, if ETH continues to solidify itself as a good investment (which is definitely the case now)

Honestly, it's an absolute dream to own an entire bitcoin now. I remember when you can grab them at $4k last year, but I had never seen this bull run coming before. Whatever, the last best time to buy was yesterday, the next best time is today.But ETH just has so much room to grow. It runs most of the DeFi ecosystem and NFTs, getting network upgrades like EIP 1559 making it less inflationary, ETH 2.0 making the blockchain green and drastically reduce fees, and tons of institutional adoptions alongside bitcoin. There's just so many bullish things in store for ETH long term.ETH would have a mcap of $6T if $51.9k. But watch; the global stock market has total value $95T. So it's realistic. Consider that fiat is heavily depreciating too.Also mention BTC would only have to 6x to get to $6T.Will it take over BTC as market cap? Very unlikely. Will it decrown BTC as king of crypto? Hell no.But ETH will probably be just as sought after and extremely high valued just like BTC is today. I'm very bullish on it.

Take a moment and make your MetaMask wallet a lot safer.

I have seen a lot of posts lately where people have lost funds their funds through their MetaMask wallet. While there is no evidence that this is MetaMask's fault (and I don't think it is), the default installation of MetaMask does give them way more access to your personal data than they should ever have.NOTE: If you are using Firefox, it's currently not possible to apply this fix. I recommend you to use MetaMask only with Chrome or Brave browsers.Problem:If you have MetaMask installed on your Chrome or Brave browser, by default it will have the option "This Can Read and Change Site Data" enabled "On All Sites". Here is what it looks like:https://ift.tt/3aJcual should you care? Well, this means that any data going through your browser can be read, altered and stored by MetaMask if they choose to do so. And by all data, I mean usernames, passwords, personal information, etc.Now, I am not saying MetaMask has malicious intent. Not at all. However, they could store specific data about you and sell it to other companies if they wanted to. And if that data in MetaMask's database ever gets hacked, well ..you know what that means.Solution:So, how can you fix this? It's very simple.Open your browser.Click on the MetaMask iconClick on the 3 little dots on the right side.Click on "This Can Read and Change Site Data"Change the default option to "When You Click the Extension".That's it!This way MetaMask will only have access to the data from websites where you're actually using MetaMask on.Now, you must be careful! If you are on any website and you click on the MetaMask icon, you will give MetaMask access to that website, because you are "Clicking on the Extension". Clicking on it will give it access to that website.So, to be absolutely safe, be sure to only click MetaMask either:A crypto-related website which requires MetaMask access (such as Pancakeswap, etc).An empty tab with no website open.If you value your safety and privacy, take these steps right now!

Dear Crypto Enthusiasts, delete your clipboard history once in a while

By default Windows 10 saves the last 25 items you copied. These items might include wallet adresses you don't want anybody to know, like your metamask wallet address for example.So do yourself a favor and delete these items from your clipboard history after every time you copied and pasted a wallet address. To do this press Windows+V and it shows you all the entries where you can manually delete items.If you don't want Windows to save your clipboard history, turn it off completely in the settings. Just go to Windows settings -> System - Clipboard and turn it off there.A lot of people don't know of this vulnerability and it seems to be easy to read out for hackers.

As A Crypto Veteran Who Made It I Want To Share My Most Valuable Lessons For Newcomers (Alternatives To DCA)

My history: Joined in 2017, did all rookie mistakes u can imagine, including losing funds on a hacked exchange (BitGrail), but did not give up and sitting on 30x of my initial investment today. The best thing about investing: You can't blame anyone but yourself for fucking up. This is what motivated me the most, so I used the bearmarket to read books and educate myself.The strategies I'm sharing here are for people who are a little bit more confident and want to do more than just DCAGetting into a position / accumulating bags:People love to accumulate on the way down. They think "Wow, it can't drop much further from here", but it can always drop more. If u buy at -90% and it goes to -99%, which we saw for a lot of coins in 2018/19, u are down -90% on your investment. Since most coins recovered, people will feel like this strategy is great, but some stuff does NOT recover. About 5 of my old bags got delisted from exchanges and are now worthless.The much safer strategy is to accumulate on the way up after a break in market structure (making a higher low and higher high) and getting out when it forms new lows. You might be wrong a few times, but it is much safer.If this is too advanced for you and you prefer DCAing in a bear market, I would do this only for Bitcoin and Ethereum or a few other majors and only buy small caps after the trend has changed.Exit strategy / taking profits:You probably heard the following statement plenty of times: "Nobody ever went broke by taking profits". I tend to disagree and here is my version: Bad traders go broke, because they cut losses too late and advanced traders go broke, because they take profits too early.My reasoning: We are in crypto. It is a highly volatile market with great opportunities and great risks. Investing into crypto for small profits is not a good risk/reward. So once you have a position and the market is starting to trend, you want to go with the trend and sit tight. People rather take profits on their 2x-3x bag and put them into their worst performing bag, because "it has to catch up". Instead, they should add to their 2x-3x bag and think about getting rid of the loser. Of course, you have to take profits at some point, but don't set your targets too low. Even Bitcoin did a 15x and some of my other bags did a 50-100x and this is where I took profits the first time.So how do I find good targets? Analyze the history of the coin you're buying or similar coins and see how they performed in past bullmarkets to get a feeling what might happen. Go to their telegram channels to get a measure of euphoria. If new people are flooding in and sharing crazy targets AFTER it is already up a lot, you can start taking profits.Patience is keyThis is not a secret, but I still want to emphasize it, because it is by far the most important factor. My two previous paragraphs are based on patience. By not accumulating on the way down you are basically doing nothing for a long time, but waiting for a shift in market structure. Once you are in position, you are again doing nothing for a long time, but watch your bags grow. This is how the big money is made. It is the easiest and hardest part at the same time and in theory everybody knows it, but once you are in position you forget about it. So set up a system of rules and do not break them, EVER.Patience was and is my biggest weakness, so I found a way to trick myself: I created one hodl/longterm portfolio with 90-95% of my assets and one active altcoin trading account with only 5-10%. This way I could still do stuff in crypto and keep myself busy without touching my good bags. It's also nice to compare the performance of holding vs trading. My trading account is in profit, but got outperformed big time by the longerm portfolio.I could probably fill a book at this point myself, because there is so much more about it, but I will cut it here.PS.: Don't check my post history, I did it for the Karma lol

Most people don't realize how bullish it is that Tesla sold some of its Bitcoin

Those who got reactively mad at Tesla for selling Bitcoin totally missed the point that it was to prove that it can actually bring profits to a company. Tesla didn't purchase Bitcoin that cheap yet they were able to make $100 million in profit while still maintaining the strong majority of their holdings.This is likely to create FOMO both in individuals and especially other companies.In other words: Bullish!

Unpopular opinion: The predictions feature adds no substance to this sub

Yes, some people will think it is cool that you can vote on what you think the price will do. However, the predictions are just low-quality posts that ask what you think a certain coin will go in a week. If someone was to post a poll with options on where the price of BTC will go in a couple of days they would get taken down for a low-quality post. It is pointless and has little to do with actually educating the community on crypto.Edit: Someone made the point that it also is bad for newbies, could lead to them following the predictions and losing moneyEdit: instead of low quality predictions instead put some thought behind it. Not mad at predictions just frustrated with how they implemented it

Woke up this morning to $60K worth of crypto stolen from my MetaMask

Hi guys,I woke up this morning to find my MetaMask wallet was empty. Overnight, someone withdrew 22 ETH worth over $60K (My life saving pretty much, I'm 27 and was aiming for a small apartment to live in)My wallet (Account 1) address https://etherscan.io/address/0x374d51543db6c697eed85fe7fd9fa485201f34a9It seems to end up on the an Exchange named FixedFloat, you can track the transfers and final deposit herehttps://etherscan.io/address/0x4e5b2e1dc63f6b91cb6cd759936495434c7e972fAbout 4 days ago, I downloaded a software called LimitSwap to purchase a new token the moment it is listed. This company is run buy a man who goes by the name Crypto Gnome. His trading software requires you to input your private key so it can execute trades. I asked about this in the telegram group and a bunch of people immediately reassured me this is normal, the bot only runs on my computer and needs the key to make trades. The developers would never have access to the key. My computer has never been compromised before, only in the few days since I inputted my key into his software. Basically the amount of people who claimed to be fellow customers reassuring me gained my trust. Looking back, this was incredibly gullible of me. https://ift.tt/3t2YSNP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qWpyoWPMk&ab_channel=LimitSwapI contacted him but he his is not very helpful at all. He is accusing me of lying and never using his software, even though you can trace the token I had to buy to use his program named $LIMITAny ideas how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.For anyone reading this, please go buy a cold wallet right now. Also never share your private key with anyone, even your grandmother. I was way too relaxed about my crypto and there are people at every corner with plans already hatched on how to steal your assets. Be careful out there don't trust anyone or any software claiming to need your private key.I made this from nothing so I guess I'll just have to start again. Not the end of the world but a very expensive lesson.

Hats off to you guys, especially if you bought in last week and kept HODLing (Extra satoshi's for you if you bought more at the weekend!). Your first dip can be quite daunting and make you want to sell. This happened to me when i first started, I panic sold some when the market dropped 10% then ended up buying back at a loss.imo the bull run is far from over and can't wait to be holding some super fat bags.

Posting here for more visibility - you may have a clever little Crypto-miner running on your PC and not even know it.

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?Low gaming or PC performance?Sluggish Windows performance?PC has stopped going to sleep when idle?CPU temps are too hot?If so, you may have some Cryptocurrency mining Malware on your PC.This happened to me a couple years ago, I'm very tech savvy and don't usually have PC problems. Anything that goes wrong hardware I can fix and on the rare occurrence I get a software problem a quick bit of Google-Fu is all I need to get back on track. However, this one stumped me.I noticed my PC wasn't sleeping any more. I'd leave it idle and when I came back hours later, it wasn't off. I usually set it to turn off after 30 minutes, but it would stay on, sometimes all night etc. I also noticed that my process was not running at it's Idle clockspeed (FYI, your processor runs slower when it's not doing anything to save power) and finally, I noticed using HWMonitor that my CPU temps should be at about 40c at idle, were instead about 60-70c!I looked through Task Manager to identify if there were any strange looking .exe's and after googling all the application names I did not immediately recognise, I thought to download MalwareBytes and run a scan.Straight away it identified I had a cryptocurrency miner on my PC, and this is the part that impresses me, it actually de-activated itself if I went into Task Manager, then re-activated itself when I left. Clever girl.Some quick googling told me it was a Monero Crypto miner malware. God knows how it got on my PC, probably a drive by from a dodgy Crypto newsfeed website. I don't make a habit of downloading and running strange programs nor opening emails I don't trust, so I'm a bit stumped how it got there, but it was running for weeks! Think of all that Monero I mined! The bastards.Anyway, MalwareBytes is free to download and use, it will probably pester you to buy it so there's no harm in downloading it, checking your PC and then uninstalling it.Hopefully this helps someone out.

Staking Cardano for 5 DAYS makes me more money than my bank account does in ONE YEAR

Hello everybody, Im somewhat new to the cryptocurrency world so this may not be breaking news for most of you but Im certainly happy now that I know this information.Most bank accounts pay you ridiculously low interest rates on your money, and I mean extremely low. Turns out my savings account at my local bank was paying me an annual rate of 0.05%, which is basically nothing, in fact due to inflation my money was most likely losing value.About two months ago I bought some ADA (Cardano), and read up a bit about staking. For those who dont know, staking is basically delegating your ADA to a stake pool, and you earn interest as a result. Your crypto never leaves your wallet, and you can stop staking and move your funds at any time if you want to so it is a safe process. I wont go too deep into details but by staking you can earn between 4-6% every year, and you are paid every epoch (5 days).Im happy to announce that Im currently earning more money every 5 days by staking that my regular bank account makes me in one year. Im not saying Im rich now btw, it is still a small amount but it is still mindblowing to me.Have a nice day people.

Robinhood is MAD that Massachusetts is thinking of restricting use of their platform. Hypocrisy at its finest!

Robinhood states, “the Massachusetts Securities Division’s attempt to prevent Massachusetts residents from choosing how they invest is elitist and against everything we stand for.”https://ift.tt/3vhJDlu from April 15EDIT: wow, thank you everyone for the awards! I was really not expecting that. I am truly grateful and much appreciative! :)

Advice to young people starting out in the space. 10 years is not what you think it is.

TLDR: HODL with a purpose and your overnight gains will come.As you grow older, you realize that 10 years feels like yesterday. Whereas when you are young, you make big plans and think that 10 years is all it takes for the average person to succeed in life. Well, I am sorry to rain on your parade, but for most people, it takes more than just 10 years to become financially independent to the point that they can start enjoying life to some extent.The point I am trying to make is, don't chase overnight gains, you will lose your sanity and your money. I am putting sanity first because it can't be bought.10 years from now, and even better, 20 years from now you have the chance of looking back at your net worth and realize that it only took you 10 or 20 years, which at that point will seem like overnight.

Sh*tcoins like Safemoon are creating unrealistic expectations in the Crypto world

I got into crypto a few months ago with the intent of making gains long term. I knew it wouldn't happen over night. Sure, I have made some gains since I got in... but not enough to make a difference in my life. That kind of thing takes time.Now comes along Safemoon and it's many MANY knockoffs. Everybody is now looking for the next get-rich-quick coin. It has created an impatient mentality in the space that is not good at all. People are dropping money they can't afford to lose on shitty coins that are just Safemoon clones... and they are losing.People need to understand that, while there are outliers, earning on an investment takes time. If you're the type person seriously asking 'When moon?' or 'When Lambo?'... then you need to rethink your view of cryptocurrency. Life changing wealth does not happen in an instant.

I bought $30 USDC of every coin pair on Coinbase. Going to hold for two years.

I bought $30usd of every USDC paired coin on coinbase. I did add and extra $30 to ETH and $5 to ADA because I had extra USDC after fees. I purchased the coins on 04/24/21. Here is the status as of today.https://ift.tt/3noTD9Y I will donate 50% of the bag to charity after the two years. 4/24/2023 I will make a post to decide the charity.

Popular or unpopular opinion: People who say they wish that it would’ve dipped more are annoying.

Just got done reading a post in the daily and the person was wishing it would dip more so their buy order would get triggered. I’m not sure about you but I’m down 15-30% across all my portfolios from ATH. The past week has been an absolute bloodbath. If someone really wants to buy a coin then just do it. Most coins are still down at least 15% from ATH. So don’t complain or worse yet wish that it would dip more. We get it, you’re a crypto savant and only buy when the green line crosses the red line on the 236 hour MA or whatever other tea leave reading TA you do. Thank you in advance for not doing this anymore and do us all a favor and just buy now.

There's no "Currency" Left in Cryptocurrency, and There Hardly Ever Was

By percentage, what is your actual usage of any of these shitcoins for real economic exchange as a currency? And no, cashing out to fiat doesn't count. What real goods and services have you actually purcahsed with crypto? I'm gonna guess for the vast majority of you, it's pretty close to zero.Do the shitcoins you're holding have these properties, REQUIRED to function as a currency:DivisibilityDurabilityPortabilityFUNGIBILITYRecognizabilityPrivacyLimited supplyIf it doesn't have those qualities, it's not money. So no, your transparent chain, premined, heavy inflation, huge fees per transaction, barely functional network, is NOT currency. They're gambling tokens, and you people have a gambling problem. You're not "revolutionizing paradigms," you're not "fighting the banks," you're not doing anything other than speculate on garbage which will never be used as an actual currency.And WHEN this bubble pops, and you lose 90% of your paper wealth, you will have deserved it for being equally as greedy as the banks you hate, but with a much higher level of ignorance than those parasites. Now downvote me.

For the love of god, send a dummy transaction before sending your whole stack.

Title.I have seen so many posts about people mistyping addresses and losing their crypto recently. I am posting this again before some dude inevitably does the same thing again.Paying fees twice is worth the peace of mind. If you're sending a small amount and it's a crypto with high fees (BTC, ETH), I'd either leave it on an exchange if it's there, wait until ETH 2.0 if it's ETH, or just send away if its so small that you won't get bummed out if you lost it.Anything else and there should be absolutely no excuse for you not to send a dummy transaction.
