Donating 15 cents to Smile Train for each Moon and handing back the Moons

My wife and I are about to send in our annual donation to Smile Train and in the spirit of the new giving season thanks to Moons we are going to send in an additional 15 cents for each Moon we get and then use those Moons to reward Redditors in need as we come across them (like our new friend from Venezuala!) and sponsor giveaways.We love Smile Train because each $250 donation helps a child with cleft palette lead a normal life.Smile TrainWe will determine how much to donate after this post has been up 24 hours and post proof of our donation. It will be easy to count since we just activated our vault and have 0 Moons. We love what this sub is turning into - lots of positive energy lately!EDIT: We know not everyone has Moons so we are going to count every comment and upvote as a virtual "Moon" toward the donation total. You all have been so kind!

Question about MOONS? Did I miss the party?

I see a lot of people talking about earning Moons and their price going up etc etc. I'm too afraid to ask but is this some kind of an ongoing joke or is this thing real?Someone told me to activate my vault and I did it but I don't know how I can "earn" moons. I'd be really happy if you can help me.​Thanks in advance everyone! and happy trading!

To the newbies: doge is shit

Ok newbies.....I'm not an expert but I've been holding since 2012. Firstly two factor authenticate all your crypto accounts ALWAYSSecondly, dont buy stocks of crypto and that's basically what doge is....its fucking usless. I'm sure I'll catch neg karma for this but buy coins you can DO SOMETHING WITHI get these stock bros see $BTC and think you missed the rocket ship. You have not. I bought my first coin at 340 something. I'm still buying todayThirdly, doge is good pricing grounds yea, you see if mad people run it price goes up....then what? It drops because it's useless.You really wanna stick it to the suits look at what real crypto can do. $LTC $BCH $XRP and so forth...You can fucking buy it use it! and decentralize your currency...no regulation, you hold yours I hold mine....except in the case of exchanges....that brings me to my last point get yourself a fucking wallet.I'm so happy to see what reddit and WSB have done to the stock market but it will be stopped it will be regulated....crypto is a true revolutionFuck doge....buy something you can actually useVery very very lastly $BTC ain't anywhere were it could be 30, 40, 50 is still a great place to get in on if you dont believe me buy 50$ worth and sit on it for 3 months.Educate yourself. Up your security....in 2012 I bought coin didnt know what I was doing, didnt 2fa and in 2016 had 120k hacked from me....its my own fault I was being stupid, that's my fault. "Google titan" is a really good reasonable tool, "google autheticator" is a great free tool.Ps fuck doge....fuck doge start a true revolution

Users in the dogecoin subreddit are now spilling over into other high supply, high cap low value token subs and it's rapidly ruining the quality of the reddit cryptosphere

Some anecdotal gems I've seen in the last two days:After a day of a coin fluctuating just to ultimately go down or move sideways they say "it's MOONING"They're calling their holdings "shares"A person told me yesterday that dogecoin blockchain is going to "replace the internet"They seem to believe that joining pump and dump channels on discord is somehow going to benefit themThey keeps saying that "wallstreet", "the suits", or the "wealthy elite" are suppressing the priceUnironically talk about retiring as a resultAnd, as we've all seen, have a fundamental misunderstanding of math and economicsThis is going to end poorly for each and every one of them - deservedly so - but I simply just want to be able to read crypto news without having to filter through this trash

WARNING! Pump and dump scams going around, read this especially if you are a newbie and help spread this information.

I posted this in the daily chat but thought it deserves to be a seperate post for more exposure. Please if someone can do a better wording create and post with clearer direction and lets try to have it stickied. There are a lot of vulnerable newbies joining the crypto space with the recent events and they must hear this.There is a trend of orchestrated pumping and dumping events mostly from Discord channels. These are designed by the lead organizers first making the followers part of the pump (after the organizers have bought some good amount in advance) and then with their network effect on Twitter etc. they try to capture newbies and immediately dump it on them (and most of the followers that cause the spike too). Sometimes it takes seconds right after the start of the pump with the organizers not waiting for others to join (probably depending on how the price is dropping at that point) and just drop it on just the followers who spiked the price 10 seconds ago. It's a huge scam trend (occurring much more frequent than before) and we must really spread this around!

For investors who got burned with Doge, here's some advice from someone who lost 3 BTC on a scamcoin in 2017.

So I recently got back into reddit after taking a break from crypto in general. I started investing in cryptocurrency around 2017 while I was still in university as i was fortunate enough to be making money while studying.I initially only invested 1 btc and after scouring the forums and reddit, I decided to invest in this coin called Confido. TBH, i cant remember now what the coin was about as I've actively suppressed my memory of that event ever since it turned out to be a scam and I cant seem to make myself go into my telegram or google to remember it again.This was when I just entered the space and judging from what everyone who invested in the coin was saying, it was going to be the next big thing. As a clueless and young investor (I was 20 at that time), i decided to buy another 1 btc and bought more confido tokens. My interest in crypto was increasing by the day as I started to research more into other coins and learned how blockchain worked. Ethereum intrigued me, as it seemed to have more real world usage than bitcoin, and more importantly, a lot of ICO seemed to be running on that. As interesting as crypto was, my main goal was to make money and ICO seemed to have really good returns, and for that I needed ethereum. So I bought another 1.5 btc this time and 0.5 btc was put into ETH and the rest was put in confido (typing this part hurts as it always makes me remember the grief I experienced when that coin crashed as I watched it on my laptop in my empty dorm). I think I was one of the top 10 holders of this coin after that point.Anyways, with a good chunk of ethereum, and with better knowledge about this space, I began to research more into blockchain technology rather than just coins and started to figure out which coins would have actualy usage. Got into a few ICO and was lucky to be in the pool for the intial investment. It was at this point, i knew I shud diversify my portfolio so I only spent 1 ETH on all the ICOs I liked.Just as I was getting into all of this, the Confido coin I had invested 3 btc in turned out to be a scam and there were posts about it all over reddit. It was a frenzy in telegram as everyone started to panic sell. I decided to keep holding as I thought there was some mistake and its not a scamcoin. I was simply in shock watching my thousands of dollars investment plunge into nothing.I dont think I've ever been this emotionally struck by anything in my life (maybe my first rejection from a girl in 6th grade would come a close second haha). I sat there in my dorm as I wondered why this happened. I was angry at the people who shilled it, I was angry at the ppl who made the coin, and I was angry at the community managers of this coin in telegram. However, I was most angry with myself with how naive and careless I was with money. I was hoping to save that money to buy a house for my parents in future and watching all of that disappear, I would never wish for anyone to go through that.At the end of the day, it was my fault. I put money into something not understanding how it worked and how investing in general worked as well. "Always invest what you can afford to lose" I wish i went with that mindset when I started.I tried everything to get something out of that coin but it was too late to sell as it was worthless. I had other coins as well as I was starting to diversify my portfolio but it was too late as majority of my investment was in that stupid coin. I tried to see if my ICO coins would help me recoup my losses but the market had entered a bearish run. I gave up and left everything related to crypto and decided to focus on my degree and job. I lost more than I could afford at the time, but i decided it was better to learn at this stage than later when I have a family to support. I have become a smarter investor after that incident and I learned how to better manage my finances.Here's my advice to ppl who got burned by Doge coin. Take it as a learning opportunity of how the crypto space works. Yes, money is lost and the feeling of pain and regret is overwhelming especially if you put a lot of money in, but know that time heals. A costly mistake always prevents you from making a similar one in future. As much as ppl like to roast others who are getting burned from the Doge PnD, sometimes its hard to know what's going through the other person's mind when they bought the coin. Maybe they were just stupid and wanted to make money for a better life, but didnt have any information. Telegrams and reddits of shitcoins are usually an echochamber of people convincing you that the coin will raise in value. For someone who is new to the space, they dont have the info as the people who have been here for years have.Seeing so many Doge memes roasting the people who bought at the peak made me recall the time I went through and I have sympathy for them. Some of them are delusional, yes, but that doesnt mean they're bad people, just lacking in information and crypto experience. Although I do have to admit, some of those Doge memes made me crack up, only because the face of the coin is an adorable chubby shiba.So, don't dwell on the loses and just take it as a learning experience. Crypto space is wonderful once you are familiar with it and there are so many people here willing to help others out.On the bright side, I came to see that some of my ICO coins are doing fantastic, especially Kyber Network and REN :)

Stop trying to turn this sub into WallStreetBets our cause is greater!

Ok so before you downvote let me explain...I've been part of both communities for years, I'm seeing the transformation in both and it worries me.WSB is fighting hedge funds that are short selling a GME at 120% basically pinning them down and making them go bankrupt by driving the share price up. Kind of a catch22 since shorts don't expire and they have to pay interest on them or buy share to close their positions given that the share price remains high. But investing at this point is activisim or greed depending on your intention, most of the money has already been made.This story got international attention and I see people got jealous trying to do a pump and dump with DOGE and MOON not understanding that doing so will screw the PEOPLE not the hedge funds!Our cause is greater, BTC was created as a response to the 2008 crisis denouncing FIAT and the manipulation of currencies through debt, bonds, money printing etc...We have the opportunity to give back the financial freedom that banks took from us, bank the un banked, make transaction cheaper and much more.The difference with most crypto is that they have opportunity to change the world, but we can't be taken seriously when people try to reproduce pump and dumps and then cash out in FIAT not caring who they leave holding the bag. ( spoiler alert it won't be Melvin capital)It's our responsibility as a community and movement to avoid the mistake that we made in 2017.Invest in projects you believe will work and have value, don't invest out of greed, ask yourself who is this benefiting and does it truly help the world.Cryptos will go up in FIAT value but I believe they will be actually mainstream currency and will make the world a better place. Patience is key, good luck all!

To all the people spreading blatantly false info about Doge; STOP; you're hurting the bigger cause

NO Doge is not like BTCThere is no limited supply. It was specifically intended to remain cheap to facilitate FAST txns. Raising the price directly conflicts with this and will likely result in an influx of new coins into circulation. THE SUPPLY IS NOT LIMITED, UNLIKE BTC.​NO the situation with Doge is not like GME in ANY WAY.GME happened because of SHORTS. AFAIK this is not something that exists in the crypto world. You are relying on other (retail, most likely) investors to take your bags when the shit hits the fan. This is not screwing over wallstreet or investment firms in any perceivable way. They don't give a shit about Doge, and they sure as shit don't have short positions, the entire catalyst to the price increase with GME, forcing them to buy down the road.​NO you are not helping crypto by supporting a pump and dump.A LOT of new eyes are on crypto lately. If their first experience is holding bags after being sold a lie on a pump and dump (could be called a pyramid) scheme, they will most likely come away with a horrible impression of crypto as a whole.​NO I'm not a haterNow is the time to prove a point, a point bigger than money. This is why GME was so pivotal, it is taking money from the rich fuckers who have gamed the system for so long with no downsides. That is not the same situation with Doge, a coin no reasonable corporate investor would ever take interest in. Despite how much the doge folk like to talk about Elon's mention of the coin, he made a few off hand remarks, and a week later changes his twitter bio to say #BITCOIN NOT #DOGE. Why would he do that if he was so sold on the idea? I don't even care if you pump and dump, but the MASSIVE amount of hype you're building, preying on ignorant retail investors, is concerning.​I'm prepared for a massive backlash, but I'm fairly certain anyone who has done their research knows Doge is nothing but a shitcoin to be used for pump and dump (it fails at its intended purpose), kind of like MEME. It's quite literally a meme coin.​If you want to hype a coin, maybe try one with an actual use-case and limited supply.

Don't Pump and Dump

People, Crypto is all about a decentralized finance, fighting corruption and deny power to third parties, non the less, now you're picking coins like r/wallstreetbets did with GME and other stocks. They're fighting hedge funds and other big institutions while you, by pumping DOGE, are just making a person lose, not an institution. You're not fighting anyone worthy, you're just promoting pumps and dumps, which is one of the bad things that can happen in crypto.Sure DOGE went up +300% in the last 24h, but that's just because r/SatoshiStreetBets decided to pump it. Right now everyone who's pumping as well is happy, but soon the downfall will be evident. Don't support pumps and dumps, support crypto in general. Pumps and dumps will only show the world that maybe crypto isn't that safe when in fact, it is safe, from an investing point of view but also to be used in our daily life.I know 1 DOGE = 1 DOGE, but still, be a good boy, please.edit: r/SatoshiStreetBets doing it, not r/wallstreetbets

This is an emerging concept and get in only if you can LOSE your money in a SINGLE DAY!Fact 4 : There is also a lot of misinformation on all social media in regards to Crypto. Assume every single person explaining why a coin is better is a SHILLER, AKA he wants you and all the people he talks to buy his favourite coin so that price can increase.Fact 5 : Don't trust even a veteran investor or any other person showing fancy graphs saying that certain coin will go up or down. Especially twitter is full of these people, don't even trust the verified twitter accounts.Fact 6 : DO NOT BUY THESE GIVEAWAYS, no one gives you crypto if you send them some amount, IF you send it, it is GONE! Can't come back!Fact 7 : The DOGECOIN growth is now a PUMP! so remember, all the PUMPS follow a DUMP! I had a experience and I don't want this for others. Same was the case for XRP Ripple coin in 2017 and it is now running lawsuits to lawsuits.Fact 8 : CryptoCurrencies are NOT ILLEGAL! If you see warren buffet say what is bitcoin and we can't even see it, it isn't worth a dime, ask yourself, why is this man saying so? these people are the old ones who believe and live on DOLLARS! Crypto is harmful for their personal gains.Fact 9 : Crypto is NOT a GET RICH FAST scheme. And it is also never too late to get in or also get out!Fact 10 : DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. A healthy Skepticism is what saves you in whatever situation you are! Imagine this, we all literally see the IMDB and RT ratings for a movie to watch it or not which can be watched at our whim via online streaming, then why shouldn't you READ the OFFICIAL WHITEPAPER and roadmap for a certain crypto?Okay basics done, now I assume you want to get into crypto.The intermediate stuff:Fact 1 : When you buy CryptoCurrency from an exchange, YOU DON'T OWN THE CRYPTO. It is just the exchange saying that you have bought it. If the exchange gets hacked, YOU LOSE ALL OF IT.Fact 2 : So, what to do? This is where WALLETS come in! You have to transfer your crypto from the exchange to your wallet. Every wallet has a private and public key and a backup phrase. The wallet Address is used as an "Address" i.e it is used to RECEIVE Crypto. If you want to withdraw your crypto from exchange or ask someone to send some crypto to you, you give them the WALLET ADDRESS.Fact 3 : Save your wallet backup phrase in case you lose the wallet. NEVER GIVE BACKUP PHRASE OR YOUR PRIVATE KEY TO SOMEONE. And for god's sake WRITE DOWN THE BACKUP PHRASE on a paper. Don't take a screenshot and throw it away in the depths of gallery waiting for your phone to be reset someday.Fact 4 : Wallets can be classified based on 2 things. Based on who holds them : Custodial and non-custodial. Custodial means that you DON'T OWN THE WALLET and the wallet just merely gives you a way to interact with your crypto. Non custodial means that YOU ARE THE SOLE OWNER of that wallet and it is safer and also better to the cause of Crypto. Based on HARDWARE/SOFTWARE : As you guessed, software wallets are wallets that exist on your digital devices, phones are better than computers. Although these are better than holding in exchanges, Hardware wallets are even better. Hardware wallets are like the literal non-crackable personal SAFES you can BUY for around 50/60$.Fact 5 : Alright, wallets aside. Exchanges/your wallets have something called a transaction fee. This is used to perform your transaction and SEND your crypto to its destination.Fact 6 : Every coin/token has a UTILITY. See what it is and if you believe it can fulfil its purpose and also has the team/developers to take it forward, only then invest. For example ETH Ethereum was created to enable people to build Apps on it like a universal open source computer. And DOGECOIN is A MEME, the creator of DOGECOIN himself says it.Fact 7 : There is a long way to go and it will definitely be full of roadblocks and gains and losses. A single man tweeting bitcoin makes it go up and a news that someone sold big chuck of bitcoin makes it go down. Learn to have DIAMOND HANDS and hold!Fact 8 : Although the mods here do their very best 24/7 to maintain a healthy environment here, there is no shortage of people commenting their coin will rise. Become immune to this. Daily articles are posted and also some success stories saying how BTC helped them buy lambos and stuff. This is survivor bias. No one will come over and say "Hey I lost money buying crypto", human mentality itself is hardwired to share successes not failures.Fact 9 : Never ever take ADVICE from the INTERNET. Would you ever ask your neighbour where to put your 1000$? In the same way, if you ever ask someone what to buy, they will most prolly say to buy their coin.Fact 10 : INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU CAN LOSE. Learn what is Dollar Cost Averaging. Don't try to time the market and buy at lows and sell at highs. No one can predict these markets. Have an exit strategy for yourself. For example, I invest 300$ every month and no matter if it is an all time low or all time high. And I intend to pull a big chuck out if my BTC ever reaches to a level where I can afford higher education. Don't have a NUMBER decide your exit time, have a requirement/some personal threshold to pull out.And..,1 : What you see with the whole GME and short squeeze is literally an endorsement for crypto.2 : The game has been long rigged by Wall Street guys and crypto is "Intended" to remove these acts of rich people ruling over retail guys.3 : Crypto is to fiat/normal stock as how the "Diners Club Card" was back then. They said it was just a plastic card, it isn't money. Now look all round you, credit debit and cashless payments are UNAVOIDABLE. Generally speaking, when there is new concept or revolution, there are the early adopters, the denying people and maximalists. This is also a revolution, Warren Buffet said "Bitcoin is RAT Poison", well now it is worth more than his own company's market cap. This is a revolution.4 : And if you are from r/wallstreetbets , Welcome Aboard! What you guys have done is literally what is the aim of crypto! "These whole series of events are bullish for Crypto" ..now did you believe what I said,? NO lol, that was listed in basics, DYOR! However a statement may seem correct, check it yourself!​And lastly, welcome to Crypto and a new era of economy of the people, by the people and for the people. Crypto is an attempt to make sure that, "The deserving win over the Privileged" in this game.And have fun, weekends are meme days and we post memes too!​Terms to learn when surfing this sub:HODL : It means hold and don't sell and "Hold On for Dear Life" is accepted as its full form.SHILLER : A person who promotes his coin for his own personal gains.HFSP : Have fun staying poorShitcoin : A coin worth nothing (from the sayer's perspective)Altcoin : Cryptocurrencies other than BTC and ETH. Although if ETH is also Altcoin is debatable.MOONs : The incentive/rewards in crypto given to you by the community for your contributions.ATH : All time highDEFI : DEcentralised FInance.

To all the new folks getting into crypto: Do not, I repeat, do not buy on Robin Hood.

If you are buying on Robin Hood you do not control your coins and you cannot transfer them to a wallet or to any other exchange.In addition to this, trading is frequently halted due to volatility as we saw with Dogecoin yesterday which in some cases means you won’t be able to sell on a massive drop, even with a stop loss order in place.There is also often a large gap between the current sell price and buy price which should not be happening for coins with decent volume.Buying on Robin Hood defeats the whole decentralized point of cryptocurrency which allows you to be in control of your coins. And if if you are coming here from WSB, fuck Robin Hood anyway. Don’t support these slimy market manipulators.That being said, market manipulation also exists on any crypto exchange so be aware of pump and dumps, especially when coins instantly shoot up in price with no real rhyme or reason. Be safe out there.

If a single trading entity like robinhood can restrict its users from the free market, it's not really free. This is why we need crypto.

Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by one entity, unlike a company such as Visa. The tokens are often limited, and since there's no big CEO at the top controlling our ability to transfer our wealth, the only person that can decide how it's used is you.Another benefit of decentralization is that it applies to the networks as well.The network is made up of nodes, so even if one node shuts down, the other nodes can still keep the network operational.10 years ago, the USA said we've had enough at Occupy Wall Street, and the rich just kept laughing and watched the protests from their balconies while drinking champagne. Many of us have been silently researching in crypto and transferring wealth into it. Some of us have made it big, and others are using it as a retirement supplement.We can turn the tide and take back our wealth. It was being taken from us every day with shorting tactics, hedge funds, and market manipulation. We can fight back by collaborating with crypto.

Robinhood will ruin you, if you own Cryptos or shares there, withdraw it immediately!!

There may never be a truer example of not your keys, not your coin.Robinhood, which is literally named after a character fighting for the people, halted customers from buying GME shares but would let them sell it.They also forced people who are leveraged into liquidating their accounts.They don't give a single fuck about you and would burn their entire customer base and goodwill down than stand up to the 0.1%.Theyll come for your bitcoin next.Close your account and transfer everything off it, don't say no one ever warned you.

PSA for new Dogecoin / Crypto buyers

Some points to newcomers after reading some frightening comments over in r/dogecoin:·If you don't hold the keys to the crypto, you don't own the crypto. If you can't even withdraw the crypto, you definitely don't own the crypto. RH doesn't sell crypto, period. They sell supposed unwithdrawable custodian rights to crypto, and we are hopefully now all aware that RH is full of crap.·Setting price targets like that of Bitcoin (30k or whatever) is completely nonsensical. Bitcoin has 18M coins out of 21M total possible mined coins. Dogecoin has 128B coins right now, thats 7100x as many. DOGE also doesnt haven't a hard cap due to regularly halving rewards, so its not deflationary in the way BTC is. It would need a market cap of $4Quadrillion to hit Bitcoin levels. In other words, bigger than all equity markets combined afaik. Dollar cost average (DCA) sells on the way up unless you want to drop off the cliff of euphoria into a 50-90% loss like Jan 2018 for a lot of people here. Its already x8 in a week. Bull runs rarely take coins more than x20 or so in a single major rally, and rallies are normally spaced a couple of years or so apart.·Don't chase rallies. Buying significant positions after a 800% rally is a good way to be left holding bags. You should be DCAing buys, not throwing all of your savings at it at once. Its also pretty stupid to be all-in on a 9B mcap coin. That's high risk gambling if you're dropping most of your assets into it. It will legitimately most likely throw you into a year or two long depression if you lose half of your savings on Fing Dogecoin.·Crypto should not be a significant part of your investments. If you're throwing most of your assets in this, and especially at one coin at the end of a major rally, you're not only placing yourself at an insane amount of risk, but you put steady growth of the asset at risk when you inevitably panic sell once the momentum runs out or a big seller enters the market. Everyone in crypto has done this to some degree. Its easy to say diamond hands all you want, and convince a thousand other sardines to buy in, and then have a whale decide they want to sell $200M worth over the next month who doesnt give a shit how it effects you. People have their own motives, and most whales probably aren't on Reddit. The people posting six figure holdings aren't remotely close to whale territory. There's 15 addresses with more than 1 Billion DOGE, and more than 100 with over 100 Million DOGE. Those people could potentially wipe out a rally solo.·Diversify your bonds. Have other investment vehicles, AND other coins. My favorite analogy is that of a castle. You want to build your castle with stable assets, this is your emergency cash fund, index/mutual funds, maybe some large cap stocks, real estate, bonds. That should comprise at least 50%, ideally 80-90%, of your assets. Speculative investments are the raiding party that you send out to loot shit once the castle is built. That's riskier stocks, options, cryptocurrency, etc. Yes, its possible to get lucky if you're solely doing speculative gambling, but its fucking reckless and stupid, and for every DeepFuckingValue, theres 20 people posting loss porn about how they took out a loan for a crypto/options play and got destroyed. It's rolling around with a small army with no defensive position. Really easy to get annihilated by shifting tides in the market, particularly when its all in ONE position.·Time in the market > timing the market. Quit trying to get rich in 3 weeks, or you'll end up constantly desperate for get rich quick schemes because you never bothered to build a stable base. Having a large emergency fund, and a significant amount of assets because you played it safe is a peace of mind that you cannot know until you have it. Don't throw away the possibility of that in a few years because you wanted to YOLO into Doge and be rich next month.·The diamond hand thing is really...unconvincing, in case you're wondering. If you're trying that hard to convince yourself and others that you can hang on, you won't. Because anyone who's trying to convince themselves of it is clearly not used to having investments go +100-2000%, especially at the speed that crypto does it, so you won't have any instinct for when to take profits. Greed will set in, and you'll convince yourself that it can survive any correction, and you'll still be waiting for the quick recovery once it drops 60-80% and sits there for 2 years. People who do well in this market have limited exposure, and thus can basically forget about their coins for months or years, because they have other investments and secure finances whether crypto does anything or goes to 0. Euphoria and blind optimism doesn't keep someone holding until something goes x100+. Indifference, apathy, and patience are the more frequent catalysts, because you arent checking Blockfolio every 20 minutes and goading yourself into a panic sell when it corrects hard or crashes. Living in an emotional state thats constantly tied to whether the market is red or green blows. Most of us in crypto experienced at least a little of that in our first year or so. In a away, its exciting because the risk doesn't let you focus on anything else, but its a horrific way to live. The mania eventually gives way into broke disillusionment if you don't have at least a partial exit strategy.Good luck and be safe. I'm sure this sub would really prefer not having to sticky the suicide hotline number again

Yes, decentralization and freedom are amazing. But pump and dump groups suck. This isn't one.

It's been a tough day, and we're grateful to you for being a r/CryptoCurrency subscriber.Cryptocurrencies are open and permissionless. That's kinda the whole point. You can send money to anyone, anytime. You can trade on centralized platforms or directly peer-to-peer. It's totally up to you.If some exchange prevents trading, you can always trade somewhere else. They can't stop decentralized networks. If you hold your own keys (cryptography that allows you to send and receive funds), you have freedom to do whatever you want with your money.But... pump and dump groups are not good. r/CryptoCurrency is NOT a pump and dump group.Cryptocurrencies have seen their fair share of pumps and dumps. The distributed nature of them mean that anyone can attempt these at any time. Experienced cryptocurrency traders are extremely familiar with them, since they happen all the time. It's normal to see random "altcoins" appreciate or depreciate more than 100% in a single day. That's normal here. Everything is 100x.We encourage you to learn about cryptocurrencies and to take advantage of their freedom and censorship-resistant properties. But please, follow our rules. Us moderators take the role of preventing manipulation here (of all types) extremely seriously.Thanks,The r/CryptoCurrency Moderation TeamDo you have no idea how cryptocurrencies and blockchains work?

Any website/service that allows trading of crypto but no deposits/withdrawals = immediate scam warning. Withdrawals have been promised (itsss coming) for 2 years in Robinhood but its not yet there.Today they stopped users (mostly retail) from trading GME and the price crashed from $500 to $300, but large institutions can still buy on their institutional brokers now at a much cheaper price.

Wall Street has decided you're not responsible enough to buy GME. This is why we need DeFi.

For years, the crypto community has pointed to government control over fiat money as the reason Bitcoin needs to exist. People need an asset that they know can't be arbitrarily printed or controlled by corrupt governments.And after 12 years, this narrative is taking hold. The financial industry is starting to take Bitcoin seriously, investors and large corporations are putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet to reduce their dependency on the behavior of the US federal government.But the next fight is upon us.This week, the common folk of the internet discovered their power. They discovered that by working together, they can challenge the powerful entities of Wall Street.And Wall Street hates it.As of right now, Robinhood and most other trading products are in "reduce only mode".Wall Street has decided that you're not responsible enough to buy the stocks that you like, so they've taken away your stock buying privileges.Of course, hedge funds will still have access to GME and AMC. But not you.This is why Bitcoin is only the beginning of this revolution.It's not simply enough to be able to custody your own assets. You need to be able to trade them, to lend them, to leverage them. You should have access to the same financial instruments that the rich people on Wall Street have access to.This is why we need DeFiNobody can turn off Uniswap. Nobody can turn off Aave. Nobody can turn off Synthetix.Nobody can tell you that leverage-longing some shitcoin is irresponsible and you're not allowed to do it.This can be our moment.Thousands of people, from WSB to Twitter, have just been deplatformed, just for wanting to invest their money as they see fit.Let's show them the future. Let's show them a world where finance is not owned by any government or hedge fund or billionaire.A world where, as long as you're not hurting anyone, you're free to use your money however you like.

R/CryptoCurrency could be next, and decentralization is important.

So we all know by now, WSBs discord has been suspended, and their sub is now under investigation for market manipulation.Whichever side of the Parler ban you were on, it shouldn't matter at this point, it's clear that mass censorship of anything that is not liked is a horrible idea. They will do it in the name of "we found one post out of 25,000 that had some hate speech in it so therefore the sub violates our rules and now we must ban it.Big time bankers/private investors can congregate at ANYTIME to short crypto, or stocks but when the people on reddit crypto or wsb beat them at their own game pumping crypto or stocks...right away they want to regulate that. They want to tell you "They are in control".This is why decentralization is important. YOU CANT BAN DAPPS when literally millions upon millions of people are running NODES world wide (pods if you're using diaspora).Hate to complain but I GOT REKT on youtube everytime I started gaining ground. False copy right claims against me by no name channels operating out of India/china, videos taken down when they reach 50-100K because of violations of violence ( a street fight)even though it was age restricted. I SPENT 14 days making a documentary and when it hit 10K views SOMEONE FALSE COPYRIGHT CLAIMED and youtube did ZERO about it.Youtube will only take your side when you're a popular channel.All in saying. We need highly adopted DAPPS fastWe must do something to deter censorship.Think I playing around? I'm not. They are going to regulate everything you do if this keeps up.

Ethereum Foundation and reddit Partnership is the Biggest Adoption news I have ever seen

as we all know by now Ethereum Foundation and reddit announced partnership!In my Opinion this announcement is the Biggest adoption news I have ever seen, ill explain why:​By brining "Community points" to more reddit subs people can learn more about crypto from an inner drive, Finally crypto will be able to reach out more people who weren't really interested in crypto before.One day people will comment on some reddit post, will get some upvotes and will see some crypto coins popping out in their "vault" Just like magic!it will make people want to learn more about about these "Magic" coins but from an inner drive and not by being talked into it.That will make the difference in adoption.Paying with Crypto through PayPal was pretty big news too and it enabled people That have Crypto to pay with it.The Difference is in the POV of the consumer:PayPal is like : "yay I can use my Crypto to buy things"Reddit is like: "Ok that's nice first time I'm meeting this Crypto thing, I wonder what it can do."​​As Humans we are a curious species and trigging this emotion will bring Adoption!Thank you for coming to my TED talk, hope you enjoyed it, will love to hear your thoughts!

For a consecutive 4 years, Bitcoin prices would always drop in the weeks leading up to Chinese New Year.

it might be chinese new year dip which we have been having for past 4-5 yearshttps://imgur.com/a/3Ki7CyN​For example, in 2017, prices dropped by 50% from $12,000 to $6000 right before the festival. This pattern has referred to as the “Chinese New Year Dump” by cryptocurrency traders.In 2019, Bitcoin prices dropped steadily from $4000 to lows of $3350 right before the Chinese New Year. This is shown by the chart below, with the red line marking the date of the festival.In 2020, prices again dropped before Chinese New Year, even breaking the initial resistance of USD$8.3k. And whilst it did rally up to USD$8.5k on the first day of Chinese New Year, history cannot help but repeat itself, and within the same day plummeted back below USD$8.3k. Prices remained stagnant during the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, and only making a marked recovery and upward trend on the last day of the holidays.One of the possible reasons for the dip in Bitcoin prices is that people are “Cashing out” for the holidays. This is especially true in China because during the festival, lucky packets packed with cash are traditionally given out to children and the elderly. These “red packets” are meant to symbolise luck and prosperity, and is the only time giving cash is not taboo in China.Tradition dictates that married couples should give out red packets to young unmarried children, elderly and service personnel. Company Executives and managers should also give money to their subordinates – with some packets being filled to as much as the employee’s monthly wage.Due to the huge amount of cash money required, some suspect that this tradition is responsible the increase in Bitcoin Sell orders before Chinese New Year.

Advice from someone who got "rekt": Stay away from trading, do your own research and INVEST only

You are not "late" and even if you are you can't lose much by simply investing. You can always sell your assets.If you start trading the chances are you will have nothing to sell at the end of the month. Treat trading like gambling and if you start on that path only play with 1% of your gambling balance.

Scam warning for those of us who are new to cryptocurrencies

This post is for everyone who is new to the world of cryptocurrencies and perhaps those who aren’t as computer or technology savvy.Today I randomly received 0.0095 XLM from someone I don’t know and upon further inspection I noticed there was a memo telling me of an “Airdrop” on a .net website acting as Stellar. Immediately skeptical, I did what any normal person would do... I went to the website. This website was offering a free limited time “Airdrop” for those with XLM. Upon further investigation this website was only a couple of days old being created on the 24th, supporting an airdrop that supposedly started on the 20th of this month... (Red flag: The event is older than the website supporting it) Comments were also blocked after a couple of unconvincing comments were allowed about how much XLM they were given, most of the links in the page were broken, etc. etc. etc.I’m good enough with technology to be dangerous and I could recognize some other things that told me this wasn’t legit even though at this point, I needed no further convincing.This website was offering me a chance to participate in this “Airdrop”, but only if I provided my “private key” in order to be verified.This. Should be. YOUR red flag.NEVER give your private keys out to anyone fellow noobs!I felt compelled to post this now because while I was investigating all of this, I found that I wasn’t the only one and that there were similar websites being advertised in people’s memos claiming to be Stellar. It also saddens me to know that there are others like myself who may not be the most knowledgeable in this new world and are probably falling victim to these rash of scams. I hope that someday there will be a better means to stop these kind of things, but until then be on guard with your coins and make it a point to research everything for yourselves and from multiple sources.To the moon,

Newbies need to know the most trustworthy exchanges, the importance of 2FA, and everything else that goes along with investing in cryptocurrency!

ETH WILL DOUBLE IN PRICE! 3000 SOON! 2500 BY VALENTINE'S DAY!BTC 500K EOY! ETH 27K EOY!If you are either selling these short terms dreams of wealth, or if you are believing them, please stop.Yes, we are most likely gonna see a 5K ETH until EOY and even a 90-100k BTC before at the peak of this run, but maybe we get a cooldown of 8-10 weeks before we get another melt up.Buying the dip is not always a good idea. It'll work in the long run after 5-10 years for sure, but you can get a friend wrecked in the short term but shilling him into it.The more you make people believe we are up only and hitting net ATHs every day, the more they will panic and crash the market/FUD sell at the slightest dip, because in their mind, because you shillied them so hard the up only idea, a dip is never possible and is most likely a sign of grave danger.In reality, corrections are expected, months of cooldown are expected even in bullruns, and most important of all, autistic projections of trillions of dollars market cap for BTC and ETH might not come true.If you sell people the idea of autistic projections and up only ATH melt ups, you truly can't get mad at them when they panic at dips they never thought were possible.

I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Vitalik Buterin.We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Vitalik. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry.Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing.One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.

WARNING - New SCAM going around. Do not trust company called "Expanse Trade"

So a few days ago a user by the name of Terry Jakes contacted me about an "investment opportunity". I thought I'd give the guy the benefit of the doubt and wanted to hear him out. The whole conversation is in here. Now, I've looked up the company he referenced and they claim to be based in the UK, although a quick search revealed that they're actually operating the website from Kansas, US. The company is not even registered with the Companies House, which is the government website where you can look up businesses in the UK.They make lots of bogus claims on their website but that's all there is really, one website. I have tried to contact them and when I asked more about the lack of support for their claims they went awol. These guys are virtually invisible on the internet and they're trying to convince people to transfer btc into a new wallet and link it to their website so they can steal your btc.I just wanted to send out a fair warning to other users that might've been contacted this way by the same people.Proof of scam

I'm jacked. I'm jacked to the TITS. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Is it weird? That I don't feel anything anymore with what's going on. Maybe I'm disconnected from reality. Maybe it's because I'm going insane ever since I started working from home last year. I've dumped over $14k+ on crypto gradually since last year. and I'm up 100% so far. I know it's speculative, and I'm aware of the fact that it could go to zero. But god damn it, the autist in me just doesn't give a shit. Every time I think about selling, I picture Gigachad talking to me:Gigachad: Hey king, I see you are still holding.Me: Why yes, I have Q-Carbon hands, how can you tell?Nothing makes sense to me anymore. The stock market. The crypto market. Shit, I just bought a coin the other day because I thought the fucking logo looked cool and I did absolutely 0 research on it. I just bought a stock because some autist on WSB made a DD post with rocket emojis attached. Part of me knows I'm fucked. But the other part just keeps screaming "BULLISH" over and over.Am I retarded? Perhaps. But if you are retarded like me: TO THE MOOOOOON 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

You got 99 Shitcoins son but XLM ain’t one

Just in from the latest Stellar Quarter ReportSDF’s Business Development team saw significant traction in bringing more anchors onto the Stellar network in Q4. ​Perahub​, a majority owned subsidiary of the Union Bank of the Philippines, signed and ​announced​ they are joining the network, which will enable cash out to over 3,000 points of sales in the Philippines, one of the world’s largest receiving markets for remittances.In parallel, ​Chynge,​ a digital cross-border payments business based in Singapore, is onboarding as an anchor and will serve as the sending partner for the Singapore/Philippines remittance corridor. SDF also signed an anchor agreement with ​Stably​, a US-based asset tokenization platform, to enable easy on and off ramps for USDC​ as well as their own USD stablecoin in Q1 2021.For those who aren’t aware, Unionbank is one of the top 10 largest banks in the PhilippinesThe Philippines (35.2 billions) is also among the top 5 countries that hold the largest remittances transactions.Furthermore, majority of Filipinos do a lot of transactions online through digital wallets like Perahub, Coins.ph(another anchor on Stellar Network providing Philippine Peso Stablecoin), and Gcash.More great news:In Q4 of 2020, the issuance of four new stablecoins were announced to the Stellar network.● Argentine Peso (ARST) and Brazilian Real (BRLT), issued by ​Settle Network​: The first stablecoins for Argentina and Brazil went live in November of 2020. Both are fully-backed by domestic currencies and preserve close 1:1 rate between them and local currencies, involving bank grade KYC verification, AML controls and blockchain monitoring.● Euro (EURB), issued by ​Bitbond​ and ​Bankhaus von der Heydt​: In December 2020, Bitbond and Bankhaus von der Heydt (BVDH) announced the first stablecoin issued directly by a banking institution on Stellar and one of the first of its kind in the crypto market. The Euro (EUR) stablecoin (EURB) is ​live​ and available today on the Stellar network.● US Dollar (USDC), issued by ​Circle​: The Centre Consortium announced Stellar as an official chain for USDC, one of the world’s leading compliant and regulated digital dollar stablecoins. It is expected to be live in Q1 of 2021.TLDR: Stellar is being used in real life by moving money from Singaporean Dollar to Philippine Peso. More stablecoins are added to Stellar including Argetine Peso, Brazilian Real, and Euro while USDC is expected to come to Stellar this Feb 2021.If you want to buy XLM, download Lobstr or Solar(non-custodial) or Anchorusd(custodial you earn interest on your XLM) and Coinbase.You can also do it via exchange like Binance, Kraken etc.

Don't check your portfolio and prices every 5 minutes. It is not healthy!

The title says it all.Many of us have been in the same situation in 2017 as the one we are in now. Four years ago I was checking prices every 5 minutes, imagining and calculating how big my future imaginary gains would be. Some nights when prices skyrocketed I literally couldn't sleep properly. Other nights I was worried about not selling the evening before, wondering how much the market will fall while I sleep.If you are in this for the long-term, don't do this to yourself. Honestly, it is okay to be interested in crypto, read about it, discuss it, etc.But being obsessed with it, constantly checking prices, calculating future profits is not a healthy thing to do. It consumes a great proportion of your time and energy, and it's basically an emotional rollercoaster.Wishing everyone a successful and healthy HODL! :)

Yellen’s written senate testimony regarding cryptos today, providing a more nuanced answer than her previous oral testimony

Bitcoin and other digital and cryptocurrencies are providing financial transactions around the globe. Like many technological developments, this offers potential benefits for the U.S. and our allies.At the same time, it also presents opportunities for states and non-state actors looking to circumvent the current financial system and undermine American interests. For example, the Central Bank of China just issued its first digital currency.Dr. Yellen, what do you view as the potential threats and benefits these innovations and technologies will have on U.S. national security? Do you think more needs to be done to ensure we have appropriate safeguards and regulations for digital and cryptocurrencies in place?Answer: I think it important we consider the benefits of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, and the potential they have to improve the efficiency of the financial system. At the same time, we know they can be used to finance terrorism, facilitate money laundering, and support malign activities that threaten U.S. national security interests and the integrity of the U.S. and international financial systems. I think we need to look closely at how to encourage their use for legitimate activities while curtailing their use for malign and illegal activities. If confirmed, I intend to work closely with the Federal Reserve Board and the other federal banking and securities regulators on how to implement an effective regulatory framework for these and other fintech innovations.Link to the official senate testimony: https://ift.tt/2LUuO7d
