In my case the percentage of my capital in crypto was always quite low like maximum 5% or so, but we started to remodel our house a few months ago and my FIAT savings are now melting away like a small ice cube in the Sahara desert, because everything is just so ridiculously expensive here in Germany . Also even though my crypto portfolio went down more then 90% since the beginning of may i am still in the profit zone and at the moment i would guess that the percentage of my capital in crypto is at the moment around 25%, if you only look at FIAT and crypto and take no real estate into account. The amounts i invested into crypto are relatively small though.

Pretty crazy if PSG is really willing to "sacrifice" 9 players just to be able to hold 1 other player. Yes of course Kilian Mbappe is probably the most wanted player on the planet right now and also has the highest market value with 160M€. In the end he is just 1 player though and no matter how good he is he can not win a match alone, that was also pretty obvious in the UEFA EURO a few weeks ago, in the match against switzerland he did not really perform well. This is not a critique because every player no matter how good they are will also have weaker periods where they are not at their highest level, but that makes it even more crazy if they would really let 9 players go just to compensate for 1 other player.
As far as i know PSG even signed his 14 year old brother Ethan a few months ago. I just hope they did that because they think Ethan is a good player and not only to give Kilian another reason to stay.

So this time around it seems Elon Musk talked again very positive about crypto, he even said that Tesla will probably accept bitcoin as a payment again pretty soon. The price increase of yesterday probably was related to this conference, but it is also pretty obvious that statements from Elon Musk pro or against bitcoin don't have the same impact as they had a few months ago. That is just a logical thing to happen because the more often you do the same thing the lesser the effect this action has, it's just in the human nature to don't really care about thing that much that happen very often in the same way.
Regarding DeFi prediction projects you can also check out TotemFi. The price at the moment is really low so it is probably a good entry point.
You can stake your Totem Tokens and make predictions if they are right you will get additional Totem Tokens and BTC as rewards.

Grundsätzlich stimmt es natürlich, dass 9 von 10 Altcoin-Bounties die momentan angeboten werden im Endeffekt für die Katz sind, weil das dazugehörige Projekt nie richtig auf die Beine kommt und die Token, falls man überhaupt welche erhält, dann natürlich wertlos sind.
Trotzdem gibt es hin und wieder Altcoin-Bounties, die durchaus rentabel sind. Bei der Bounty von Radix im letzten Jahr waren auch einige aus dem deutschen Bereich hier im Forum dabei, darunter auch ich.

Man muss natürlich auch dazu sagen, dass man KYC machen musste und die Token erst in diesem November bekommt, aber mal angenommen man bekommt sie auch wirklich (davon gehe ich aus), dann war sie beim aktuellen Preis auf jeden Fall rentabler als eine BTC zahlende Bounty.
Ich als Full Member bekomme für 10 Wochen Bounty (14 Posts pro Woche) ca. 18k Token, das sind beim heutigen Preis ca. 2.250$, also 225$ pro Woche. Senior Member und höher bekamen natürlich dementsprechend mehr.

Dazu kommt dann noch, dass es für die niederen Rängen hier im Forum, also alles bis zum Full Member, oftmals gar keine BTC zahlenden Kampagnen gibt und falls doch sind die Bezahlungen meistens wirklich sehr gering (10-30$ pro Woche für 25 Posts), zumindest für unsere Gefilde.
Da ist es dann schon nachvollziehbar, wenn man sich als Member oder Full Member dann für eine Altcoin-Bounty mit vermeintlich höherem Potential entscheidet. Natürlich ist dann das Risiko komplett leer auszugehen auch sehr hoch.

Wenn man Senior Member und höher ist, kann ich es natürlich absolut nachvollziehen, wenn man sagt, man nimmt lieber sichere 50-70$ pro Woche in einer BTC Kampagne.

Ich persönlich würde auch nur bei Bounties von Altcoins teilnehmen, von denen ich zuvor auch schon mal gehört habe, sei es in Pre-Sale Gruppen (wie damals bei Radix) oder sonstwo. Irgendeiner Altcoin Bounty von einem Projekt von dem ich im Bounty Forum zum ersten mal höre, würde ich nie blindlings beitreten.

I totally agree with you here. Although I would certainly claim to know football pretty well myself, almost all the players on the teams are unknown to me, except for those of my own nation, of course. The reason for this is of course that it is practically an U-21 tournament with 3 additional players who are allowed to exceed this age limit. This rule makes perfect sense, of course, because unlike most sports, the Olympics are not really a highlight for footballers and are also difficult to reconcile with the schedules of the European leagues.
That is also the reason though why i find it so hard to make a good researched bet on the olympic football games, because i just don't know the players well enough.

I mostly own small cap coins because during the last few months i mostly invested into presales of new projects which was great during the bullrun because i made several X's there but now that we see falling prices since more than 2 months my portfolio is down more than 90% because the small and new projects always go down much faster and fiercer than old and established coin. Nevertheless, there are some projects that I have good hope will still be around in a few years and will perform well. These are: Poolz, O3Swap and Collateral Pay. When we see the next bullrun, whenever that might be i think the chances are pretty high that these projects will see new ATH's then.

Hallo zusammen,

Der Hack ist zwar schon ein paar Tage her, aber ich habe mir gedacht ich poste das mal hier, vielleicht hält es den einen oder anderen ja davon ab, Tokens zu kaufen die in Zukunft wahrscheinlich wertlos sind.

Was ist passiert?

Am 14. Juli hat es ein Angreifer wohl irgendwie geschafft, in den Password Manager des Bondly CEO Brandon Smith zu kommen. Dieser enthielt unter anderem die Seed-Phrase für eine Hardware Wallet, die den Smart-Contract sowie die Unternehmens-Wallets enthielten.
So konnte der Angreifer jede Menge Bondly Token abziehen, die er dann unter anderem als Collateral benutzt hat um, sich bei Mantra Dao andere Cryptos zu "leihen". Der Preis der Bondly Token ist daraufhin von 0,06 $ auf 0,003 $ abgerauscht.

Mehr Details zum Angriff gibts hier: https://bondlyfinance.medium.com/bondly-attack-july-14th-2021-postmortem-beb7cf02e9ba

Der aktuelle Plan sieht nun vor einen neuen Token zu erstellen und an alle Token-Halter zu verteilen basierend auf einem Snapshot, der zu einem Zeitpuntk gemacht werden soll, bevor der Hack passiert ist.
Mögliche Entschädigungen für Leute die nach dem Hack bzw. nach der Bekanntgabe des Hacks gekauft haben, werden zwar untersucht aber sind nicht sicher.

Deshalb: momentan keine Bondly Token kaufen, da man für diese wahrscheinlich nicht die "neuen" Token bekommt!!

It really is true that there seem to be more players at the moment than in previous seasons who have their contracts expire and then move on loan. Among them are even world-class players like David Alaba from FC Bayern and Donnarumma from AC Milan, both of whom have a market value of more than €55m.  It is obvious that the clubs selling these two players did not plan it this way, as they are now missing out on a transfer sum of €60 million and more. I think a big factor why the contract extensions with the players fail is still the Covid pandemic. The clubs are still not sure how long they will have to do without the full income from ticket sales and are therefore not willing to pay such high salaries as they did 2 years ago. Clubs that have oligarchs and sheikhs behind them don't really care about that problem though because the financial fairplay is a joke.

I don't really understand your question as you still need to hold the coins if you want to stake with them or farm them. Also i think that staking and farming are a really great tool so that normal users can get some additional benefits from holding a coin for a long time. By holding a coin i mean to buy them and then put them into a staking contract of course. Most of those staking pools also have really nice APY's which are above 100% most of the time so it makes a huge difference if you just buy a coin and have it in your wallet for 2 or 3 years or you buy it and put it into a staking pool. That way you will have a multiple of the coins after a few years.

Betting on the outcome of friendly matches seems extremely risky to me. I realise that betting always involves a certain amount of risk, but in friendly matches there are simply more factors that make the outcome of a match very difficult to predict, especially during that period of a season (or pre-season). Take for example the friendly match of FC Bayern vs FC Cologne. Cologne won this match with 3-2. In retrospect, this may seem quite logical, as most Bayern players were active at the EURO and therefore had not yet started training, but would you really have bet on a win for FC Cologne because of this? Bayern still had players like Upamecano and Choupo-Moting in the starting line-up.

You know that the whole DeFi-thing could only happen and arise because of the possibilities that the Ethereum ecosystem offers? Without Ethereum the only thing we could do on the blockchain would probably still be to send x-amount of a currency to another wallet and sign a message and that would probably be it. Yes of course it is also true that the transaction fees on the Ethereum network were so ridiculously high during the height of the Defi-hype, with several hundred $ worths of fees for a dex-swap, that during that period it was not really usuable for a "normal" user because the transaction fees were often higher than the actual transfered or swapped volume. The ETH devs know about that problem though and it already has gotten much better and it hopefully will continue to move into that direction. So i am pretty sure that ETH will continue to be the number 2 crypto-project behind BTC.

I think there are two different reasons why this can happen. Firstly, the business was established for the sole purpose of disappearing sooner or later with the users' funds. If that was my intention as a company founder, I would do it the way you described. I would try to create a well-functioning, visually appealing online casino and then, as soon as I have a large number of users on my platform and a correspondingly large amount of capital on the wallets, I would pull off the scam.
The second reason is that the casino itself is totally legit but you were a victim of an criminal employee of that casino who somehow managed to steal your funds. In that case the casino should compensate you.
Of course there is also the possibility that the accusations are just faked by a competitor business.

I think you are pretty late to the party when you say we are entering the meme-coin mania now. This stuff is going on since the middle of April and i even think that it slowed down now.. thank god for that. I also think that those meme-coin hype was really bad for the whole crypto market overall and it was probably one of the main factors why the market is dumping since the beginning of may. Which serious investor or financial institute would decide to join the crypto market when they see that projects like shiba-inu, elon-one or babydoge have much more trading volume and market cap than most of the new projects that actually have a use-case. I hope that in a few months that whole meme-coin craze is completely gone.

Bayern is a absolutely world class club that is on par with the best of the world but so far the club officials of Bayern refused to make any completely crazy transfers with fees of over 100M€, but they basically had to make such a transfer if they let Lewandowski go because they need a proper replacement for him, if such a player even exists at the moment. Lewandowski still has a contract with munich until the end of the 22/23 season so bayern could still sell him after the next season. Maybe Bayern is planning to let lewandowski go after the coming season and then replace him with Haaland. So far it looks like Haaland will stay for another year in Dortmund, so the timing could be perfect here. That would be the first 100M€+ transfer for bayern of course.

I don't think anyone here can tell you how long the market will be in this downward trend and when the market starts to grow and when we will see increasing prices again. I am also a small investor and at the moment it really hurts to see my portfolio losing value almost every single day. At the moment my holdings are almost worthless and they are down around 93% since the beginning of may. 
I also have a hard time to understand that kind of market movements i mean i understand that when a news about a new crypto ban in china comes out that the market will react to that and starts falling, but for yesterdays and todays price drop i don't really see a reason. I guess we small investors just have to live with that.

I am pretty sure that the winning rate of your bets does not depend on whether you were serious and strained when you placed them or whether you placed them in a relaxed state, because in the end your state of mind at the time of the bet placement has no influence at all at the outcome of the sports matches you bet on. With things that you can influence, you may well achieve much better results if you don't get so uptight about it and take it more lightly. I think your impressions have something to do with selective perception. That is to say, these unexpected winnings have simply impressed themselves on you much more clearly than the rest of your bets.

I think it is simply human nature to become sceptical or suspicious as soon as someone, be it a person or a company, has too much success and influence. So it is not really surprising that a lot of people are critical about CZ and his company. I have to say i don't know any BNB myself (except a small fraction for transaction fees on the bnb chain), but i still can acknowlede the success of CZ and binance, but I can also understand why some people have reservations about them. It is never good when one company or person in a specific area becomes to powerful and influential and i think binance has almost reached that level of influence now after they also purchased coinmarketcap.com.

I agree with you on that point that there are a lot of altcoins out there and i would even say that a huge share of them are completely unnecessary and it would be better if they would not exist like for example all those meme-coins that came up within the last months and completely took away volume and market cap from other new coins that have a purpose.
I don't really agree though that it is a bad thing if a new altcoin tries to do something that another altcoin is already doing. I mean that is normal competition like it should be in a free economy, maybe it is annoying if you were a hodler of that coin that existed before and now drops in price because some new coin makes the same thing better, but if both projects are legit they should both be able to survive. I mean just look at car companies, there are like 50 of them in the world and most of them  still manage to make a profit.

For me that 10 second penalty is a joke. You can either decide that it is a racing accident and don't give a penalty at all to anyone or you decide that it was the fault of one of the drivers and then give a punishment according to the severity of the incident. Now they give hamilton a 10 second penalty which tells me that it is the stewards opionion that is was Hamiltons fault, which sent Verstappen into the barriers with a 51G impact and ended his race which means he will make 0 points and Hamilton only gets 10 seconds for that? He will probably still finish in the first place or at least on position 2, so this bad decision could really decide the championship this year. 

Well i mean you are correct and i am also one of those guys who made that mistake twice now to not sell even though my profit was pretty big at the beginning of may. I also have to say though that this is a pretty easy thing to say now that you know how the market developed in the last two months. Of course i regret that i did not sell any of my holdings two months ago but i also does not bother me to much to be honest. I would have regretted it way more if i would have sold for lets say a profit of 100k€ back then and afterwards the whole market would have done another 10x and my holddings would have been worth 1M€ because 100k€  are no life changing amount of money here (i am from Germany) but 1M€ are.
