A reminder on why cryptocurrency was invented in the first place.

I've taken this from a post I've saved a while ago and I usually come back to it to remind myself on the significance of cryptocurrency and why it's here to stay. I would post the link but for some reason it wouldn't let me.People used to pay each other in gold and silver. Difficult to transport. Difficult to divide.Paper money was invented. A claim to gold in a bank vault. Easier to transport and divide.Banks gave out more paper money than they had gold in the vault. They ran “fractional reserves”. A real money maker. But every now and then, banks collapsed because of runs on the bank.Central banking was invented. Central banks would be lenders of last resort. Runs on the bank were thus mitigated by banks guaranteeing each other’s deposits through a central bank. The risk of a bank run was not lowered. Its frequency was diminished and its impact was increased. After all, banks remained basically insolvent in this fractional reserve scheme.Banks would still get in trouble. But now, if one bank got in sufficient trouble, they would all be in trouble at the same time. Governments would have to step in to save them.All ties between the financial system and gold were severed in 1971 when Nixon decided that the USD would no longer be exchangeable for a fixed amount of gold. This exacerbated the problem, because there was now effectively no limit anymore on the amount of paper money that banks could create.From this moment on, all money was created as credit. Money ceased to be supported by an asset. When you take out a loan, money is created and lent to you. Banks expect this freshly minted money to be returned to them with interest. Sure, banks need to keep adequate reserves. But these reserves basically consist of the same credit-based money. And reserves are much lower than the loans they make.This led to an explosion in the money supply. The Federal Reserve stopped reporting M3 in 2006. But the ECB currently reports a yearly increase in the supply of the euro of about 5%.This leads to a yearly increase in prices. The price increase is somewhat lower than the increase in the money supply. This is because of increased productivity. Society gets better at producing stuff cheaper all the time. So, in absence of money creation you would expect prices to drop every year. That they don’t is the effect of money creation.What remains is an inflation rate in the 2% range.Banks have discovered that they can siphon off all the productivity increase + 2% every year, without people complaining too much. They accomplish this currently by increasing the money supply by 5% per year, getting this money returned to them at an interest.Apart from this insidious tax on society, banks take society hostage every couple of years. In case of a financial crisis, banks need bailouts or the system will collapse.Apart from these problems, banks and governments are now striving to do away with cash. This would mean that no two free men would be able to exchange money without intermediation by a bank. If you believe that to transact with others is a fundamental right, this should scare you.The absence of sound money was at the root of the problem. We were force-fed paper money because there were no good alternatives. Gold and silver remain difficult to use.When it was tried to launch a private currency backed by precious metals (Liberty dollar), this initiative was shut down because it undermined the U.S. currency system. Apparently, a currency alternative could only thrive if “nobody” launched it and if they was no central point of failure.What was needed was a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. This was what Satoshi Nakamoto described in 2008. It was a response to all the problems described above. That is why he labeled the genesis block with the text: “03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”. Bitcoin was meant to be an alternative to our current financial system.So, if you find yourself religiously checking some cryptocurrency’s price, or bogged down in discussions about the “one true bitcoin”, or constantly asking what currency to buy, please at least remember that we have bigger fish to fry.We are here to fix the financial system.

An open letter to the community - We need to put our money where our mouths are and support decentralization and dApps

Hey everyone,As I'm sure you all know full well, early adoption of crypto is primarily speculative trading, so this post is gonna focus mainly on the problems with trading in this space right now (centralized exchanges, regulations, lack of investment products, etc), and how we can shift our mindsets as a community to put our money where our mouth is and rally behind startups doing the right things (decentralized exchanges, dApps, protocols and necessary infrastructure).Why? Because for the first time in history we have a disruptive new technology that can really change the landscape in every industry imaginable, and we are at the stage where we're planting the seeds of these new products and companies, so why not support the right ones so we can realize the future we're all envisioning?I recently wrote an article on this on Hackernoon here: https://ift.tt/2DPpgVi, but I thought I'd expand on it and share my thoughts on how to move this space forward in terms of getting more dApp adoption and usage.Who uses dApps anyways?Blockgeeks just published a report on dApp usage for those interested, there is definitely some growth but since the bear market it has definitely tapered off: https://ift.tt/2KII9dL obviously nowhere near mainstream adoption, but it's a great start, so there's hope! There's definitely a ton of things that should immediately be addressed and are of high importance IMO, so I'm going to lay them out:First, we need to address the massive problems of centralized exchangesBitcoin aside, the crypto space as a whole is still pretty young, the current experience of trading crypto assets is understandably a fragmented experience with scattered pockets of liquidity, and a highly technical and high friction process. But the irony is that we have the technology to avoid the security flaws that plague centralized exchanges and the adoption of crypto - decentralized trading.There are a ton of centralized exchanges available to the public today, but a much smaller subset of these exchanges are properly regulated, not to mention trustworthy and reliable. I know the pro traders out there might say, "Well DEXes aren't fast enough, or I can't run bots on them yet". That's fair, but if you want to see them succeed some day, every trade helps. If it's a trade that you think is executable on a DEX, do it there instead of on a centralized one. That's how adoption happens, one user at a time.While industry pioneers like Coinbase have pushed the space forward and newer entrants like Binance raised the bar for the alt-coin trading experience, the industry still suffers from constant hacks and malicious acts.We need to stop relying on centralized trading/hot wallets as they are huge security risks As far as we know, over $1 billion worth of crypto assets have been hacked & stolen from centralized exchanges in 2018 alone.Here's the biggest incidents in 2018:$500 million worth of NEM stolen from Coincheck — The 2nd largest exchange in Japan$195 million hacked from BitGrail — Italian exchange and the first to list Nano (I myself was a victim of this)$45 million hacked from Binance — One of the largest global exchanges$40 million stolen in Coinrail hack — A boutique exchange in South Korea$60 million hacked from Zaif — Exchange in JapanThe root cause of this is that centralized wallets are increasingly large honeypots.The nature of a centralized exchange dictates that some trusted third party is storing the crypto assets of its users to create a pool of liquidity, this being done mostly by aggregating funds into exchange-owned digital wallets where assets from users are pooled into.Millions of people could lose not just money but also their identity and data handed over to centralized exchanges as well.While we're still in a bear market this may not happen as frequent, but it's reasonable to be expect that in the next bull-run the frequency and severity of attacks will only rise and a scenario in which an attack as widespread as the recent 50 million user Facebook hack — where both private data and money were stolen — could happen. There's already plenty of exchanges that are careless with handling user identity, handing over your personal ID is not a trivial matter and exchanges should follow the best practices to store and secure them if they're asking for them.Second, we need clearer, more sensible regulation that fosters innovation and protects investorsThis may be an unpopular opinion around these parts, but sensible regulation is good for both the industry and users, to ensure exchanges coming online meet certain requirements, so we're not operating and trading in this wild wild west of shady exchanges.People who trade today need to have a pretty damn high appetite and tolerance for risk, not to mention an acute ability to discern legitimate investments from the rampant exit scams and phishing attacks. (Just see yesterday's thread about the guy's dad who bought into Onecoin on the advice of a "friend").The vague stance on the part of governments also means many crypto startups operate in a regulatory grey area (I have first hand experience with this working in the space). The SEC only recently clarified that they view Bitcoin and Ethereum as not a security token, meaning it wouldn’t be subject to existing securities laws.IMO the current lack of regulatory clarity has lead to a low barrier of entry for operating crypto exchanges, however this is starting to change as seen with the recent EtherDelta SEC charges, they're clearly making a statement now that you need to follow the laws when you open an exchange.But we can do better, and push lawmakers to create more defined rules that we need to play by, and at the same time educate them so they understand not just the technology, but the implications and potential use cases and how we can get there while allowing companies to innovate, new startups to rise, all while protecting consumers. That way we'll have more legal clarity as the industry matures that is business friendly.Third, we need a more diversified set of investment products/options for crypto. More wealth generated = more growth and adoptionUp until recently, you were only able to purchase tokens on their own from an exchange. Today, we are starting to see an emergence of basic index funds such as the new Coinbase Bundle and Bitwise. It wasn’t until late 2017 that we saw the introduction of Bitcoin Futures from CBOE and CME.We expect new companies to continue entering this arena, especially crypto ETFs (ie: Bakkt in Jan 2019 maybe?), as well as other attempts at index funds or derivatives.There's a bunch of teams doing great stuff:Bitwise - They're one of the first crypto index fundsHodlbot - Another index fundShrimpy - A way to automatically invest and rebalance your portfolioLakeProject - Working on AI driven investments that automatically build a portfolio for anyone (R&D phase)Lastly, we need to punish greed and reward companies doing the right thingsWhile it’s not a problem particularly limited to centralized exchanges, it’s been reported that listing a token can cost as much as $3 million. In contrast, listing a stock on NASDAQ costs $125k to $300k plus annual maintenance fees.This is just one example of the greed exhibited by those who have leverage and the middlemen who stand to profit in between (consultants, brokers, ICO firms, etc). These high fees dampen innovation as they’re too great of a cost to bear for most token/ICO projects. This is crucial for most projects as they need liquidity to bootstrap their network and to remain favourable with the community that invested in them.At least 7 of the top 10 exchanges engaging in excessive wash trading from 12x to over 100x their true volume.Foul playPlenty of centralized exchanges have been suspected and accused of wash trading (creating fake volume), insider trading, and price manipulation.High user trading feesAs centralized exchanges carry more risk, and have more opaque control of their platform, they often charge higher fees compared to a decentralized exchange.Withdrawal limitsCentralized exchanges impose a withdrawal limit, as a security measure to limit the amount that can be withdrawn at once. However, there’s also a misalignment of incentives, as they stand to benefit when you keep your funds locked on their platform so they can maximize trading feesThere's a bunch of great projects and base layer infrastructure that people should look into and support, not just the protocols but also startups building on top of them, some of my fav protocols include:0x Project - Powering decentralized exchanges for tokens, NFTs, etcSet protocol - These guys are building a protocol to allow anyone to easily bundle any assets to create more sophisticated investment productsdYdX Protocol - This allows anyone to integrate margin trading and derivatives in their dAppDharma protocol - This protocol facilitates lending in a decentralized wayCompound protocol - A money market protocol that allows hodlers to earn interest on their tokensCosmos Network - Working on blockchain interoperability and tooling around Ethereum and Web3Personally I'm working in one of the many, many startups in the space trying to build on top of these decentralized infrastructures to give everyone a more seamless experience to access, trade, and use crypto. But you can imagine how hard it is to gain any traction much less build a sustainable business especially in a bear market like this, and when everyone has either completely lost their motivation or still flocking to centralized exchanges to chase pumps knowing full well the risks and unethical practices.Cool story, what are you doing about it?I work with a team called the LakeProject, and we're a group of people that came together because we believe that decentralized platforms will address a lot of these concerns, so we're putting our money where our mouth is and building them. If you want to help or learn more about what we're doing here's our site: http://lakeproject.co. We also built our first decentralized product here which is a trading platform built on 0x: https://ift.tt/2BG7WjZ conclusion - Vote with your money and your time, it makes a differenceI hope this post made sense and I made somewhat of a decent case (?) on why we need to shift our mindset from simply trading and hodling to proactively choosing where to participate, what dApps to use, and which startups to support.IMHO this is key for adoption and it will seriously help startups (like ours) to grow and be able to make a difference in the industry and push forward and pioneer a new paradigm of operating a decentralized business. I think everyone in the space right now is still learning and trying to understand how that might look in the future, but the more support and usage we get, the sooner we'll learn and the brighter our future will be.If you've gotten this far, thanks for putting up with my clickbaity title and reading this thread :)

As the title says. Why is Cardano #10 on CMC? I've never really understood what Cardano is supposed to do and what gap it fills. All I see is that it is based on a philosophy, that it is POS-based and that it combines "the good ideas" of other coins, but so far I feel like the coin has been all talk and not much else. Seems to me like the only unique thing about Cardano is the philosophy, but there has to be something else also, right?Can you help me understand why someone should invest in Cardano instead of in any other (POS-based) coin?

Are the losses already calculated without having to sell? Of course I’m hodling but will take whatever I can get after the recent gouging that has been November.

AMA: I am KJ Erickson, Co-Founder & CEO of Public Market, a decentralized eCommerce application where buyers earn reward credits on every purchase

Hello r/CryptoCurrency! I'm KJ Erickson, Co-Founder and CEO of Public Market. Yesterday we launched public.market, which will be the first of many eCommerce sites to utilize the Public Market Protocol.Public Market is a decentralized and commission-free eCommerce platform that saves money for buyers and sellers alike. Because merchants are not charged fees (e.g. Amazon) a portion of their profits are given to buyers in the form of reward credits, redeemable for the Patron (PTRN) token upon the launch of the token, anticipated in mid-2019. We feel strongly that, done correctly, crypto and blockchain have an opportunity to disrupt the business models of today's extractive tech giants.The Public Market Protocol is a set of microservices that centralized commerce marketplaces have historically held proprietary: inventory, metadata catalogue, reputation, and protection.Starting this week, the public.market storefront is now open to the public, so I'm thrilled to answer any questions about either the product or the larger market context.If you are interested in receiving our white paper, or wish to learn more about Public Market, please visit publicmarket.io or our blog. I recommend starting with these articles:Liberating eCommerce: Public Market & the New Commercial CommonsPublic Market: The Protocol Layer For Marketplace CommerceThe Future Of Network Effects: Tokenization and the End of ExtractionI'm available from 12 PM to 2 PM Eastern today, so ask me anything!https://ift.tt/2BBtqyG Typo

SEC released ICO guidelines. Why is no one talking about this?

SEC released a guideline for ICOs, highlighting the three “Rs” of ICOs: Risks, Rewards and Responsibilities.Here are some of the highlights.ICOs can be securities offerings.Tokens sold in ICOs can be called many things but merely calling a token a “utility” token or structuring it to provide some utility does not prevent the token from being a security.ICOs that are securities most likely need to be registered with the SECIf a platform offers trading of digital assets that are securities and operates as an "exchange," as defined by the federal securities laws, then the platform must register with the SEC.For trading advice and insider knowledge check out the FB Group Apollo InvestmentsFor more detail on the SEC guideline check SEC

Leaving a profound impact on this world and being remembered as the visionary genius forefather of modern currency sounds great right?How to prove you're not Satoshi:Be Craig Wright, and do the following-Be one of the largest forces of douchery and trolling on social media, making the entire community who supports Satoshi hate youSmugly refuse to address any questions asking if you are Satoshi, or why you refuse to perform a basic proof instead of writing giant essays to trick brainlets into thinking you must be Satoshi since you know cryptography.Lose a hash-war to an ex-con black market explosives dealer, one of the only people in crypto who may be as hated as yourself.

And I genuinely feel that we will never see prices this low ever again. I am buying, and buying a lot.And I'm not some massive shill. I started as a massive skeptic touting my economics degree as a qualification for my dismissal of the crypto realm. I can say that I was wrong. But I was wrong because of a lack on information.I can say with confidence that Bitcoin is not the future of crypto. It will be remembered as the forerunner, similar to how broadcast.com is remembered today. But other projects that I will not name is where the real future is.Does anybody else feel this way.

State of Ohio Will Accept BITCOIN as a Payment Option for Taxes

https://www.wsj.com/articles/pay-taxes-with-bitcoin-ohio-says-sure-1543161720?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1This is huge!Ohio appears set to become the first state to accept bitcoin for tax bills, a show of support for a technology that has garnered lots of hype but failed to gain traction as a form of payment.Beginning this week, Ohio businesses will be able to go to the website OhioCrypto.com and register to pay everything from cigarette sales taxes to employee withholding taxes with bitcoin. Eventually, the initiative will expand to individual filers.The idea to accept the digital currency for taxes came from state Treasurer Josh Mandel, who has held the office since 2011 and started taking an interest in bitcoin several years ago. Mr. Mandel, 41 years old, views the new program both as a convenience for filers and an opportunity for “planting a flag” for Ohio in the currency’s adoption.“I do see [bitcoin] as a legitimate form of currency,” Mr. Mandel said, adding that he hopes other states will follow suit.Bitcoin was intended as a currency that didn’t require government backing or support when it was introduced 10 years ago. Although it has had success as a tradable asset, it hasn’t gained broad acceptance as a form of payment and has been dogged by concerns that it is used to pay for criminal enterprises.Ohio’s move wouldn’t give bitcoin legal status, but it would be a kind of tacit approval bitcoin has so far lacked. Tax offices accepting bitcoin “does help send a message that bitcoin’s a technology that can be used by anybody—by bad guys but also by the government,” said Jerry Brito, the director of Washington, D.C.-based research firm Coin Center.Arizona, Georgia and Illinois have considered bitcoin for taxes, but bills addressing the issue have stalled in their state legislatures. Mr. Mandel, who is an elected official, said he can direct his office to accept bitcoin without approval from the legislature or governor.Ohio filers will technically send their tax payments to an Atlanta-based payments processor called BitPay, which will then convert the bitcoin to dollars for the state treasurer’s office.It isn’t clear how many businesses will take advantage of the service, though Mr. Mandel said he has heard from companies asking for it.Other states are starting to see bitcoin and its underlying technology, blockchain, as a way to attract talent and capital. Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead this year signed legislation to loosen the state’s regulatory environment and make it attractive for blockchain-based businesses to register and operate there. New York developed regulations for cryptocurrency businesses called the BitLicense. Delaware two years ago began a program to use blockchain technology within its corporate registry services, though the initiative lost steam after Gov. Jack Markell, who championed it, left office.Ohio’s Mr. Mandel is confident that won’t happen after his term ends in January. “I’m confident that this cryptocurrency initiative will continue,” he said.

One Good Thing about all of this- Crypto is Funny again.

I am just some dude who bought crypto a while back and rode this train into the hyperbole.The new Paradigm. Fiat over. /u/Sholtie here da new millionaire of the world along with all his reddit buddies.I was legit looking up which houses to buy which I felt I needed just another 10x to get to, at the rate things were going I that should've taken a couple of weeks by my estimation. Like everyone else here, I was in it for the tech...And by tech I mean new upgrade features they were adding to the Lamborghini Gallardo.Everyone on this sub was shilling, left, right, and centre. And ya boi here was buying. TRX worth 20 billion dollars because they released a tamogotchi Doggo game? Revolutionary.But then times got tough, I noticed I was only up 3% in a day. Sometime 2%, maybe 1%. Modest returns. But that was good right? I had a "stable investment". Until it started to drop.And with it, this sub got toxic, people were arguing, HODL vs weak hands, explanations for the losses, suicide hotlines. "OG experts" forecasting the future and demanding everyone listen to their prophetic wisdom- he's been here since 2011 bro he's basically psychic. Chinese New Year to Consolidation to Store of Value to Ride-or-Die, I stopped following this sub because it wasn't fun anymore.In the greed that blinded us through the decline, this sub lost its way. We lost what made this place so great in the first place...Mildly useful information but mainly lols.Ironically it was this exact sentiment that fuelled the pump in the first place. Good vibes, optimism and a dream. I am not rational. People are not rational. We get a good feeling about something, with others that are feeling the same way, we go for it.Today. r/CryptoCurrency was different. Shit was funny today. Top comments of 1.5k upvotes with people rueing their losses in pained laughter. Some dude posted a TA that he sees a "strong resistance point for BTC at 0$"- lol. Turning this random propbet by some arrogant guy into a meme- Quality. People are numb to the pain now. Its kind've beautiful. The price might not have recovered yet but the community certainly is. Im not an analysis guy but I do not underestimate the value of sentiment and from what I see, people seem a lot more positive. Which in my opinion is one of the most vital characteristics of a purely speculative investment.Keep it fun guys. Im enjoying this. This is the true spirit of /r/Crypto.

I’ve learned so much from my time on Reddit and in the crypto scene in general. I really feel like I’m at a point where I can start giving rookies advice on how to make tons of cash in crypto. Here are a few things I’ve picked up along the way:

Buy low and sell high, but make sure you hodl all the way down cause it’s going back up to the moon.Never invest more than you’re willing to lose, but if you lose all that make sure you buy more to dollar cost average.Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value, and don’t let some noob pointing out that your $15k is now $3.7k in less than a year tell you otherwise. Ultimate volatility = ultimate store of value.YouTube is a fountain of expert knowledge and consistently accurate price predictions. Go there and rather than inquire into their level of expertise, pick your favorite based on their personality and theme song. And remember, FINANCIAL ADVICE IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.These are just a handful of tips from me, a seasoned crypto expert, forged in the flames of Reddit and YouTube. I hope they serve you well on your journey.

I found a bitcoin wallet from early 2011 and...

I purchased what I though was just a few Bitcoins privately in early 2011 because my nerdy brother convinced me it was a great idea.Two months later, life presented me with my first cardiac arrest, a year later - divorce, closely followed by my second cardiac arrest.Suffice to say, my BTC portfolio didn't get much attention for a few years.Today I went through my old Dell laptop which was apparently last booted in June 2011. I knew I had a "tiny amount" of BTC on it somewhere and I debated whether it was worth spending time on recovering it, since my brother did all the wallet setup (he passed away a few months ago). Then I noticed "wallet-0.3.21.txt" on the desktop and opened it in Notepad.And there it was: account number, amount and detailed instructions on how to use the wallet....AND OH MY GOD, THE WALLET HAS 180 BTC IN IT! I was 100% sure I had something in the vicinity of 0.1 BTC. Apparently 180 BTC in early January of 2011 was worth just about $60 and I never realized just how insane the price growth has been.To me, this is a life changing amount and I'm going to sell it all today once I figure out the exchange stuff.Thanks my dear brother, I knew you were watching out for me!

Crypto is not the scam... day traders and powerful investors are trying to scam you

"the bottom is 3k"Says who? Why the hell would the bottom be 3k? Why not 2k? Why not zero? Whenever you ask these questions, there's immediate objection to crypto being worthless because clearly it's revolutionary tech (otherwise why would ICE launch BAKKT? you think the company that runs NYSE doesn't partially control the future along with its other wallstreet buddies?), but the target is set to 3k for some reason....That's because it's the price people want to buy in at. People want in on crypto, but they'll do anything they can to drive the price down. You have discord groups with thousands of members trying (usually poorly) to manipulate prices, here and on other forums, and large investors are happy about it.I've been in cryptocurrency since the early days. It was NEVER about hype and advertising, it was about revolution, but now it's about fear mongering and futures trading. Disgusting. You have people cheering for bitcoin's failure so they can make a quick buck, then you have those very same people who reverse the tides in their shilling so they can earn on the upswing as well.WELL, something is definitely happening. The stock market is about to eat shit, Venezuela is literally a failed country, and our fiat debt-based currency is losing steam. Real estate markets are crashing (australia, canada, the US to follow soon probably) because all the money is propped up by Chinese investors with a faker economy (thus currency) than America's. We are going to enter a new world, and crypto is a transitionary technology that will lead us somewhere that no one knows yet, but it will be part of the new economy simply because it is money controlled by people, not bankers, government, or politicians.I'm not telling you to buy more, I'm not telling you to sell. Just try to see what is in front of you. And no, it's not going to be just bitcoin. The top alt coins will create their own micro-economies. Don't fall for the media manipulation, cryptocurrency is here and we're on the cusp of working crypto economies. Be safe, I love this community and the people behind it.

The guy who made the $1,000 bet that BTC wouldn't drop below $5,000 this year seemingly abandoned his Reddit account on the day BTC dropped below that marker

We all know about the original post; it was a huge deal on this sub. It can be found here: https://ift.tt/2OZBoVN, /u/dieyoung called us all idiots for even suggesting that BTC might dip below $5,000. He challenged anyone to accept a $1,000 prop bet that BTC would stay above that price all year. u/goodwill_cunting accepted the wager.As his Reddit history shows, after his initial post, he was an active daily user--until the day BTC dropped below $5,000 and he lost the bet. After that? No posts. No comments. Nothing.u/goodwill_cunting has indicated in a comment that he has received no word from u/dieyoung.Really shameful behavior.

So am I crazy for buying more at these prices? Got my average down to a nice level but of course this is only if the market doesn’t tank anymore. Anyone else buying at these prices or am I being a clown?Any opinions on overall market and how you see it in the next month or so.

The goal is to escape Fiat, the US has 20T+ in debt.

Reminder that the purpose of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is to have a hedge against the government printing more money.'Using' cryptocurrency is simply acquiring it instead of keeping Fiat.Since 2016, I've watched South Korea(The jump from 600 to 1200), multiple african countries, and Iran all have bitcoin bull runs when their government's started printing more money.Get hype for when the U.S. announces Quantitative Easing 5.

Icon (ICX) was $12 ($4.5B mc) at the peak of the bull run. It's now $0.27 ($127m mc). Is the team dumping all of their tokens?

I haven't bought a single ICX because even months back I saw that there was always gigantic sell walls on it which made no sense at all, and thought fuck that this is clearly a whale bs coin. Well turns out I was right. This fall off is ridiculous and in comparison to other projects that reached those heights is uncharacteristic even in the bear market. Is it the team doing all the selling? Ian Balina sold back in January because he said the team used market makers to pump it in December, maybe he was right.

Bitcoin is close to overtaking MasterCard by the amount of value transferred daily

Bitcoin is close to overtaking MasterCard by the amount of value transferred daily, with bitcoin moving $8 billion in the past 24 hours while MasterCard averages $11 billion a dayhttps://i.redd.it/7100z9yw81021.pngWe can’t see Ripple’s data as they’re not really a public blockchain – or a blockchain at all – but all cryptos in combination probably transfer about as much value as MasterCard despite having a far lower capacity in transactions per second.That may be because one cryptocoin is usually worth far more than a dollar. A crypto transaction, moreover, can be in the billions, while MasterCard is usually used to make very small purchases of $20 dollars or so.Visa handles far more at about $30 billion a day or $11 trillion a year according to their self-disclosed stats. That’s with a capacity of 65,000 transactions a second.Bitcoin can handle only about 7 tx/s on chain, or about 0.01% of Visa’s. Yet bitcoin transfers about 25% of Visa’s amount of value processing.It isn’t very clear why so many bitcoins are moved daily, usually at circa 5%-10% of its market cap. One could say these are transfer to and from exchanges, but all bitcoin exchanges handled about $7 billion in trading volumes during the past 24 hours.Many of those trades would have been different people trading the same coin on the same exchange without touching the blockchain. So without having hard stats, it is probable that much of this $8 billion is economic activity but of a different kind to credit cards.While credit cards handle small transactions, the media value of a bitcoin transfer is about $400, with the average being circa $27,000. Meaning bitcoin is being used as a sort of settlement layer by businesses.Businesses specializing in international transfers, for example, could make just one high value transaction to transfer the funds. Likewise, for someone like BitPay, they could bundle transactions to pay merchants weekly or monthly.Much of the activity, therefore, probably occurs off-chain, with the public blockchain used sparingly. Yet that off-chain activity must be very considerable if $8 billion is being transferred daily on-chain.That’s a substantial portion of the entire economic activity in US and Europe. Partly perhaps because bitcoin is fully global, giving it a bigger market and thus presumably giving it more use cases.Source

This sub is a mess and needs to get out of the anger stage: How to move forward from the crash if you're a bagholder

Back in December 2017 I did a valuation attempt of Bitcoin on this sub and got around 5K with some grossly optimistic assumptions. Its taken a long time but finally gone down below that.You've probably heard many people tell you it would eventually happen back in December 2017 and to reduce expose to crypto (including me), but when you're hyped up on 20% gains every week its hard to be cautious or engage in defensive measures. To many the last quarter of 2017 and into early 2018 was like a beach party with coke and Victoria Secret models. Who wants to listen to someone tell you about how you're gonna crash hard with a headache the next morning?With this latest crash, Bitcoin's price is back to roughly mid October 2017, which is roughly when the mainstream mania started. Many on this sub entered after October 2017 and hence are now left holding heavy bags. Many are down 80% or even 90%. Here is the current losses from ATH for the top cryptos:AssetLoss from ATHBTC-77%XRP- 88%ETH-90%BCH-95%XLM-79%EOS-83%LTC-91%ADA-96%XMR-85%TRN-96%Who do we blame?At a time like this its easy to get angry, to look at someone to blame. Whether Roger Ver and the hash wars, whether BAAKT delay, whether whales or SEC or institutions, everyone has their favorite boogeyman. No one thing is the reason why the market is down 80%.The reality is that Bitcoin (and all other crypto by extension) was ovevalued even by grossly overoptimistic measures. Its not BAKKT or the whales trying to get your coins for cheap. The same people who were buying at near peak bubble thinking they were getting into the chance of a lifetime are prone to look for someone to blame for their losses, when it was their irrational behavior that lead to the gross overvaluation of all cryptocurrency.Is it over yet?The $6K consolidation was likely a result of the market coiling tighter and tighter around the mining breakeven point for some of the smaller miners. The big firms in China are profitable mining below 6K, but many smaller ones in the US and Europe aren't. You can actually see the total hash rate going down. Once it broke it was a big fall straight down.Bitcoin is mined at 12.5 BTC. per block at 10 minute blocks, which comes out to around 1800 BTC every day. This 1800 BTC has to be absorbed by every day, which means the following at different price levels:Price LevelDaily net buying needed to absorb mined coins6000$10.8 million/day4500$8.1 million/day3000$5.4 million/dayAt the current price, at least theoretically $8.4 million in demand is needed to cover the mining output. Of course the miners don't immediately dump it all, but it shows why miners have an incentive to keep the price high and try to incite FOMO with a BGD.I can also see that after this latest drop, the "but the dip" sentiment had substantially gone down, at least compared to the other fast drops in price. This is especially discouraging those who were waiting for the "November bull run", which never came. Its clear to more people now that this probably isn't just downward correction that will reverse, but a multiyear bear market. This is why the bounce has been so weak compared to earlier in the year.The weakness of the bounce says it all, people are no longer optimistic that BAKKT or ETF or any other catalyst will lead to a bull run that they can cash out quick. It may be a period of stagnation followed by further drops as big holders take profits.I also think that the FED tightening with rate hikes is leading to a lot more volatility not only in stocks, but crypto as well. Right now asset deflation seems to be a global macro risk as cheap credit dries up, and Bitcoin surely isn't immune from this.My personal view is that at this point we may see further declines, but calling what's going to happen next is always dangerous. A whale (especially a big mining operation) with a series of large orders to clear out the order book on Bitfinex could give us a BGD out of nowhere at any time and take us back to 6K, it would be interesting to see how the market reacts to something like that. But I'm not betting on it leading to any sustained rally past 10K. Quite the opposite.So what's a crypto shrimp to do? I'll split my thoughts into two, for those who are still in the green and those in the loss.If you're still in the greenIf you're still in profit, this is a great time to consider how much more downward selling you can take and also how you can hedge downward risk.If you're someone who purchased when Bitcoin was below $1000, you should calculate your compounded annual ROI and decide if that return is good enough for you. For equities, the long term average is about 10% per year, 20-30% in a good bull market.Its your decision, but taking out profits that exceed principal and reinvesting the principal is not at all a bad idea.Another important thing is to think about how you can hedge the risk of downward movement. This is where derivative exchanges are very useful, although you do need to do some research on how derivatives work and how to not get liquidated. If you have substantial holdings, the effort to learn this is worth it.The basic idea is that you can buy short contracts that increase in value as Bitcoin goes down, proportional to the amount of leverage you put to finance the contract. If managed correctly, you can protect your entire stack with a portion as leverage. Its something commonly done by miners, who short Bitcoin with derivatives to hedge their holdings.If you're in the lossThe untold reality is that HODL is a meme told to newbies to prevent panic selling during a downturn while the smart money cashes out in a more orderly fashion. But does that mean you shouldn't hold if you're already down massively?Well that depends on your own life situation, how much you've invested, but also how bad your losses are if you don't need the money for the next few years.Mathematically, whether it drops to 4.5K or 3K from the reference of 6K is highly meaningful, its a drop of 25% or 50%. But if your reference starting point is much higher, then it really doesn't matter all that much. A drop from 17K to 4.5K is a 74% loss while down to 3K it would be 82%, massive losses either way. In that sense if this is money you don't need, it makes sense to simply have it stored in a wallet and forget about it for a few years. Who cares if it drops further after a certain point if you don't plan to take it out for a while? Its like in equities markets where people with massive losses don't sell, but instead move the loss position into their retirement fund where they don't plan to take it out for a long time and thus are giving it time to rebound back.This is also a good learning opportunity.A good thing to do during catastrophic losses is to honestly access why you got suckered into buying high in the first place. Most people here are young, and this is a valuable lesson in why you shouldn't follow the herd. Everyone is a genius in a bull market, everyone is chasing the next hype.Take the time to understand the fundamental reasons why an asset has value and what factors would drive its rise once the hype dies down. Crypto tends to attract people looking for a get-rich-quick-without-effort crowd, but it takes some mental effort to realize when the value is completely detached from an optimists expectations of the future. What makes Bitcoin valuable, what makes some of the other cryptoassets valuable? If those fundamentals in some way changes, so should your opinion.Its also a great opportunity to try and understand crypto at a more detailed level and even help in its adoption by using it. I don't mean this in the "I'm in it for the tech" sense, everyone wants a profit. The irony of it all is that people demand that they get rich because of the hard work of buying a bunch of crypto in an exchange and transferring it to their wallet, without any understanding what they're buying into. I've always recommended this video to explain how Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) actually work.Also don't be angry. Don't look to blame. Look to learn and improve next time you invest.

Warning: KYC procedure with passport scan and selfie.

Dear all,Over the last couple of months I've seen many posts of people that got their funds stolen from exchanges. In some cases 2FA was reset without the user's consent.What I have also noticed during that period is ICO's popping up everywhere, asking for KYC before getting "free" tokens airdropped.The KYC procedure often requires sending a passport scan and/or selfie.Now know this...The average price of a digital passport scan on the dark web is $14.71. If proof of address or proof of identification (a selfie, utility bill and/or driver’s license) is added to a passport scan, the average price jumps to $61.27.That's one way for people to make money using your information. The next step however could have far bigger consequenses when they use the info to steal your funds from exchanges.Eg.The target has an account with a cryptocurrency exchange. They’ve set up two-factor authentication on their account, so a code is sent to an app on their phone to verify logins.Through some other means, the scammer steals the user’s password (perhaps through phishing or a data breach or by simply using the same password the user used to create an account on an ICO website). But because 2FA is enabled on the account, they can’t get in.Instead, the scammer poses as the victim and approaches the cryptocurrency exchange, saying they’ve lost access to their phone and cannot get the authentication PIN, and thus cannot log in.The cryptocurrency exchange requests the account holder send a scan of their ID to prove their identity before resetting the 2FA on the account. In many cases, companies will require the person take a selfie while holding the ID, hence the higher price for passport scans with selfies.The scammer modifies the scans from the dark web as necessary to match the demand of the exchange (Eg. name of exchange with date), then sends it to the exchange, still posing as the victim.Upon receipt of proof of identity, the cryptocurrency exchange resets or removes the 2FA on the account, allowing the hacker to access and drain the victim’s crypto assets. Hackers routinely change the passwords and email addresses associated with accounts to make it harder for the account owner to regain control.So be careful who you send your passport scans and selfies to and use cold wallets as much as possible.

How the cryptocurrency market really works

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers; "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.They never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!Now you have a better understanding of how the cryptocurrency market works.

Crypto is not your only chance to make it. A note on perspective

Do you sometimes wonder about what it must have felt like, in 2010, hearing about Bitcoin on an obscure internet forum? What it must have felt like, not knowing what you know now. Would you have seen the potential?When you think Crypto was your only shot - your are entirely fucking wrong. Here is the thing:Your life is filled with opportunities. If this sounds cliché for you, you must wrap your head around it.Whatever you rationalize or excuse it with, you are literally forging your life. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For some, this might be constrained by things like addiction, but take some time to appreciate that. I recommend "Men's search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl to hammer that point home.Bottom line: You always have a choice. And if you chose to see Crypto as your only opportunity to have a great life/make it etc. You will dismiss other opportunities because they will seem insignificant to you.That cute girl you were always too shy to ask out?That business you have been daydreaming about for three fucking years already?Those things are opportunites you missed out on. The only fucking difference between them and Bitcoin is that you can't check on what could have been 24/7 on the internet in form of the price. It is not palpable."She would have said no anyway. I'm doing okay without my biz etc."Bitcoin has a price you can check. But you can't see into the alternate universe in which she is the love of your life and you are a millionaire by the age of 23. You just dismiss to comfort yourself.They are still missed opportunites.Most things don't come back to remind you. You never see them again.The most valuable thing in crypto is the lesson of missing out on an opportunity you could have taken.Be smart and aware. Take opportunities. There are ways to make it. You can improve your life, and deep down you know that too.Hell on earth is meeting the man you could have been.

(For example if two traders are trading the BTC/ETH pair, any fees that they pay on that trade will be partially paid back to token holders. So holding COSS tokens will earn you a little bit of BTC and ETH weekly in this scenario, expanding this scenario to every trading pair on their exchange means token holders earn a portion of every crypto traded on their exchange.

Moving from Capitulation towards stability

Nothing happenedThe amount of money in stablecoins right now is incredible. Pretty much everyone there is looking to time a re-entry. If you are the last one back in you are going to get absolutely decimated. Selling at 5k feels bad, but what feels worse is selling at 4.5k then having to buy back in at 6k+.Maybe it drops to 3k and you get to stack up. It's equally likely it rebounds hard to 6k. Look at what this selloff was - panic over literally nothing. Bakkt got delayed? Whatever. BCH put on a shitshow? We already knew they were a joke. That shouldn't change anything about the actual market.The rational response to the recent news would be for BCH holders to just all jump ship and buy BTC. Let BCH destroy itself. But irrational people will be irrational. Literally no bad news happened to cause the market to get chopped in half, yet here we are.Since fundamentals didn't really change, I'll just use this opportunity to pick up some more on the cheap. My sell window isn't going to be for another 5+ years anyhow, so in the big picture of things, the price being depressed right now is actually a good thing. I'm 100% unshakable. I'm not fucking selling. Ever._____________The stabilization of capitulationJust remember this - anyone BUYING on this pullback is now at their new base-floor. Someone that bought in at $10 and sold now at $4500 made a killing, but he was ITCHING to jump ship. This pullback just triggered it. He's now replaced with someone that is at their new ground floor and ain't fucking selling. THAT is how stability is created in these capitulation phases. The people selling now were itching to sell. The people buying now (not all, but many of them) are looking to hold long.Once all those bags transfer hands and everyone that wants off the train gets off, the train will then depart. When it does, there's lower and lower percentage of BTC available for trade, because there's more and more holders that are at their base floor. The BTC that used to be held by someone at a floor of $10 now has a holder at a floor of $4500. THAT is what causes the price action, and the massive parabolic bullruns.I also think that anyone buying today is going to be that person itching to jump off the ship in another 3-5 years, because even a $15k BTC purchase will look great in that timeframe. You will then get replaced by someone at their new ground floor of $50k (after a pullback from 200k to 50k). Rince and repeat. I think we are going to go through several more of these phases, simply because once someone 100x's their investment, they get itchy to cash-in._____________Timing the market vs time in the marketI'm not going to flip a coin and try to time an irrational market. I believe in this thing long term, which is good enough for me to be comfortable holding even BTC I bought at 10k. Sure it would be nice to have sold it and rebought now, but I don't have a crystal ball. I'm not confident I can time the market, but I'm still pretty confident where it's going longterm.Anyone that sells now is just gambling TBH. It could equally hit 3k or 8k. I personally am okay with it falling more - it means I can buy more. I'm not okay with missing out on a recovery after I already bled out 80% from ATH. Maybe it's easier for me to hold long, because I got in much earlier than most people here. I'm down from ATH, but nowhere close to that overall - especially considering big buys in the last day which were hopefully near bottom. We can recover to 30-40% of ATH and I'd probably break even.Everyone can invest how ever they feel more confident/comfortable. Sitting in tether/fiat right now would have me so incredibly stressed out. If holding crypto right now stresses you out, then get out, seal your losses. Maybe buy back in lower, maybe watch the train leave the station. What a terrible feeling that would be to suffer through 2018, then watch as other people get rich off the thing you believed in but gave up on - based on two idiots fighting about a shitcoin, and a 2 month product delay. Insanity IMO._________To me, it's easy to hold.Here's my perspective - if you think this thing is going to zero, get out. I don't. So I'm in. I'm not putting my families future on it, but I'm certainly putting some money on it.In 2025 if BTC is worth 50k, will I hate the 10k BTC I bought? Sure I would have rather tripled it by selling it at 10k and buying back in at 3k, but I'm still going to be extremely happy with the 10k purchase. I'm going to be happier with the 4.5k purchases yesterday. But overall, it will all come out in the wash and will likely destroy any other investment I could have made in that period.If it goes to zero, it goes to zero. $10k BTC to 0 would be a 100% loss. However, if BTC hits 50k in 2025, then I'm looking at like 1200%. Don't believe it will be 50k in 2025? What about 2040? That's still an insane return in that timeframe. So litearlly the only reason not to buy now (or to sell now) is if you either think you can predict the market and buy lower (you have a crystal ball), or if you think long term, 2040 this thing will be zero.The magnification potential in this space is incredible - you just need to zoom out your sell date. I think something like 50k BTC at some point in the future is extremely conservative.That's why I don't really give a shit if I buy a few grand $$ of BTC today and it falls 10%-20% in a week. Who gives a shit. Not me, not as long as I don't sell, and as long as I don't paint myself in a corner where I need the money. LONG TERM is when I'm selling (if at all), and the potential for me to leverage massive returns on a LONG TERM PERSPECTIVE is just too large to ignore. Just use Vegas money, then you don't care what happens to it, and you don't react emotionally. We all know we make mistakes when we react emotionally.With that perspective, it's really freaking easy to not only hold, but keep buying in.Of course, you all do you. I'll do me.

I'm no expert, but the RSI looks a little bit oversold, right?
