I don't understand what that has to do with being evil. Even CZ himself has said that ee should live towards Dexes. I perfectly understand need for both. Maybe at some point there would be a dex with soulbound identity or something like that. But for now i see that free dexes in their current form could even die away at some point. This i don't see happening to regulated cexes

I am guessing that when your net worth is dropping rapidly and you have to watch people investing billions in a cryptocurrency with an ape or a doge picture instead of your old man scams is quite insulting to fragile ego. But seriously gladly no one needs to care what horse industry thinks about auto industry taking their money.

Ok captain hindsight, what black swan event you need us to be talking about? Because all we have is black swan events in the past. It's by definition something unpredictable so we can agree that they will happen in the future or not. Most likely they will happen as they have in the past.

I really am hoping for sideways movement for a while. Moving too high now would be unsustainable and crash would kill portfolios as it would be many times worse with alts.

(Also i don't know where you got number $3500 for bitcoin dip, that doesn't seem to make any sense.)

I haven't sen XRP producing anything particularly interesting or new to this space. I used to use it to transfer money between exchanges before there were cheaper methods.

It's billions, not millions, so it's not going far.

You do you, good luck with that. I don't see the possibility of 15x being even worth my time.

Do i have to have a stand? I think it's worthless and uninteresting but i don't have to be against it to say so and i know people who got rich with it so it worked for someone in that area.

I can't help of thinking that fundamentals of CAKE are tainted for it to grow big. With 300 scams per day pancakeswap has managed to create sort of reputation of a factory producing worthless idos. It's a place for cheap scammers. And eth transactions are going to be cheap soon. Then i don't really understand what's the point of CAKE/Pancakeswap anymore. Sure they can create attracting tokenomics on top of it but that's really a duct tape solution for irrelevant tech.

Good catch. Although they denied the connection when someone asked about it long time ago, but i feel there's a connection too. There were just too many coincidences, out from nowhere, new dex with similar color scheme.

It's fun to speculate but in reality it doesn't even matter to me They might be friends or a group they chose to do business with. But it's always fun to speculate and i really hope they got something happening. Although it would be hard to imagine that what it would be what they would do together that would benefit both BetFury and Biswap.

As a sidenote, your link doesn't work but i googled it and that's a pretty good deal for a signature campaign.


Not only that, but what dwyane36 gets wrong is that those payouts have been diluting with such a speed you wouldn't be making your money back by staking.

I wouldn't ever suggest that people should buy NFTs as they are even harder to estimate how they hold value compared to altcoins and people would most likely be losing money.

But i feel that people who are bashing them are doing it for wrong reasons. Like you could ask sarcastically "how is it going" in the bottom of the bear market and point at anything.

If you look at erc20 or bep20 tokens, and compare them to erc721 tokens, over 99% of all of them are worthless now. There are just more erc20 or bep20 tokens.
So how are NFTs done but altcoins not?

As you are not telling where do you get that psssive income from i am assuming it's staking. But imho don't make quick decisions. If you have collected your staked rewards as money to your account and have enough to live like a year, i would quit job. But relying on those stake rewards to keep paying same amount or More in the future and quitting your job because of it is just financially irresponsible.

Because every altcoin that has potential has been rising this whole year. Fantom isn't an exception.
It has as much potential to rise more in the bull market then most of the top coins rising right now.
If FTM and other alts continue to rise, no one can say for sure, but i am guessing FTM won't be rising alone if there's a shakedown and other coins fall.
That crash would be reasons we don't know. Many would point to their technical analysis and how their prediction was right, that's for sure.

For now, just enjoy the ride. As later on all this movement was just a tiny blip on the chart.

In terms of shaking and volatility we are not out of woods yet, and that doesn't mean we would be looking at lower bottom next. If we keep going up now, there will be a huge correction again and alts will hurt way more then btc from that. It can feel like a doomsday for sure. I genuinely hope we stay on these levels for a long time to make room for steady growth that can later turn to parabolic growth again, i wouldn't care, if it happens in 2 years or so. Right now going just too high seems like paper hands are about to be shaked off.

Answer to your question: i think we most likely are breaking 25k but i would prefer less volatility now.

Well you need to go back in charts where there wasn't institutional investors. That's what would happen, although back then many individuals were buying because everyone knew institutional investors were coming in any time. I feel like many of them enjoyed dumping at institutions later on.
 
There are of course ton of more individuals now but i can't see prices being anywhere near here without real players. And then there's the reason WHY would they leave. Because that reason would most likely be more catastrophic then result of them leaving.

We all have subjects we don't know anything about, and when you are in business of being popular in the internet, people tend to except that you have a strong opinion about everything. I find that culture weird. It's like they are being seen as weak if they need more data to form an opinion. Him saying that bitcoin is a pyramid scam is more or less popular view that people were saying about altcoins while back and about NFTs right now. So i am guessing he hasn't really looked into it, or got that opinion from his friend who also has strong opinions. But i totally understand that opinion, it's the easiest one to have.

That being said, What he says in the video is pretty much spot on and it's really nothing new as it's public info anyone who has been paying attention knows already. But there's one more thing he clearly haven't mastered and that's editing audio. That was pain to listen with headphones. I am not sure, maybe the guy has a hearing loss or something but there was this humming sound blurring the voice. He should hire an audio guy to oversee the recording and mastering.

Wait, i know there are wallet draining smart contracts out there but you can just disconnect those sites from metamask.
But signing a message doesn't reveal your private key, at least i don't think so. Otherwise my accounts that i am still using have been more compromised then i thought.
Can someone more tech-savvy please weigh in about this?

All you need to see is this to rule it illegal af



I really shouldn't dig deeper then that because that's all the red flags you need but here we go:

Should i start by the fact they didn't bother to hire someone who is fluent in English language, because if that's not important i wonder what is. I mean seriously just chatgpt would produce better results.

And so far i haven't seen ANY projects with picture of certificate that isn't a scam. It's pretty much guarantee of a scam:



And this is so stupid guarantee that it made me spill my coffee, and i am not talking about spelling errors, anyone can see that scam is "Garanteed", it's like someone who made this was: "f*ck it, anything goes":



But who cares, you can invent your own reality when you are a scammer.
I am guessing they are not doing KYCs but if they are, they are going to sell them in black market so it's your own fault if you gave them anything.

Is one of the centralized exchanges in trouble again? CEO is arrested because he was embezzling $50M worth of money but can it go down like because users and partners would panic and withdraw their funds and partnerships? Are they solvent enough for that? Or is the owner just going to be voted out from the CEO position as he has only 34.2% stake in it and everything goes on like nothing happened?

What do you think?

At the moment i have a bunch:

ETH, Matic, SOL (because of Vitalik tweet), UNU SED LEO (This will probably take my whole life to bounce but tokemonics are sound), I am sure i have Lido DAO (LDO) at some of my wallets but i can't find it to check out.

My biggest bags in usd value are currently in very very low caps and i am linking them as no one probably knows what they are:
Dusk Network, UniDex, Vela Token, BendDAO, Star Atlas

Then there's my most insane bet with PEPESOL, it's not even listed in cmc or cg but it's one of these "1000x is nothing" projects with under $12k marketcap. It's a big hit or miss and i have only $100 in play as getting only to to $1M marketcap would make me over $8000.

There will be some angry people who didn't know that they wouldn't be able to instantly unstake it who will sell it out of spite, no matter if they are in loss or not.
But those people aren't really the backbone of eth price anyway so i am guessing there will be as many many buy orders waiting for that drop as well.

I am expecting some sort of dump, if for nothing else then because of sell the news effect. However if the drop won't instantly come there will be some people panic buying it. It's a toss of a coin. But it would be hard to imagine that nothing happened to price.

Fiat money has nothing to do with bitcoin, they have whole different purpose to exist. They are not in competition with each other so bitcoin won't be killing fiat standard nor it can replace it because bitcoin doesn't serve the same purpose. If old fiat standard gets killed it's because it has transformed to something more efficient.

Neither bitcoin is competing with gold. Saying that gold would die doesn't mean anything. Where does it go? Will we get rid of it and shoot it to space or something?

Please be more specific when you make such claims.

That would need something drastic to happen, but as we already had unseen pandemic and war i thought i never see. I wouldn't be surprised about some catastrophic event. Although there would not be a safe heaven to invest if that happened beside doom-shorting everything. World economy does look dark, but from my experience things always look darkest near the bottom.

So wouldn't count it out but i like to be optimistic about the world so i won't be betting buy orders to $12k. It's already seems to have stabilized on the current area. My guess is that bitcoin volatility will be boring for a while until people see it too old and boring. After that bounce to new ath will probably surprise everyone.

I don't understand how ETH's Proof of stake has anything to do with some random smart contract exploits or cross-chain bridge hacks. But maybe you can explain.
And since you talk about altcoins specifically i am sure you don't want anything to do with bitcoin's taproot DeFi potential either or is that just different kind of nonsense?
Not to mention the exploits in Bitcoin's lightning network.
