It's not formal work, but it still technically counts as "experience". In which if you're just starting out and your resume/CV doesn't have that much in it, then probably add it in. It depends though, what specific Service work are you planning on adding in?
2782  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Trading Volume really matter ? on: October 08, 2022, 02:01:52 AM
It depends — does it matter in what context? In the first place, trading volume is just data; it just depends how you're planning on interpreting it.

As for PYR and AXS, where are you getting your data? Based on CoinGecko, PYR has a 24h trading vol of $25m while AXS has a 24h trading vol of $43m.

2784  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to calculate how much the price of BTC? on: October 07, 2022, 03:53:24 PM
You really can't — simply because supply is one thing, but demand is the second major factor whereas you can't really know how much demand an asset has until you see it. Bitcoin can literally be at the 21 million supply cap right now but if not much people are buying it and lots more people are selling, the price will drop regardless if bitcoin already has zero inflation.

Interesting, I know it's been discussed for a while. But, to me, I just see it as an answer in search of a question.

I'm pretty certain this is a very common opinion if you're in a country with pretty consistently working cellular data. On the other hand, this might be a total godsend for people in poorer countries/cities with bad reception.
2786  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Synthetic trading on: October 07, 2022, 03:19:47 PM
I want to know of there people who trade synthetic indices and do you see yourself or think of stopping it anytime soon.?

Why does one person need to stop trading synthetic assets if it's pegged price is consistent? Platforms like eToro that has CFDs have been working well for years, but of course you also need to nitpick which platforms you should trust. Now, obviously investing is a different thing — I wouldn't recommend holding synthetics for long periods of time especially if "real" assets are accessible.
2787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: This move saved millions of dollars but there is a catch on: October 07, 2022, 02:37:38 PM
Centralization definitely has its benefits, but in entirety? Nope, especially when talking about finance. Imagine needing to transfer money but then you can't because the central authority thinks that you're doing something shady even if you're not doing anything bad. Bitcoin's decentralization fixed this; going back to centralized solutions is an absurd idea.
2788  Other / Meta / Re: Why there is NO meme category in this forum? on: October 07, 2022, 02:24:21 PM

Threads like this one are best for memes, not necessarily separate subsections. With most memes, they're just for quick laughs and there's really nothing much to discuss (hence making separate threads mostly useless).
2789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Biden team asks congress for clearer crypto regulation on: October 07, 2022, 02:09:09 PM
I really do wish we (bitcoin) could decouple from legacy markets & government decisions for once & all. Feels annoying that it still matters (price direction) what a bunch of old people in suits say.

It will come but would really like it if there was no price reaction to anything that governments do/say about bitcoin.
I guess we are a long way from that.

I'm afraid we shouldn't expect a decoupling any time soon. As long as the masses look at bitcoin as a risk asset(despite its characteristics), it will perform similarly to risky tech stocks. It's just the fact that there is no data of bitcoin's past performance in such an economic situation.
2790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is an economic recession bearish for the market? on: October 07, 2022, 01:58:59 PM
It's because if people are having troubles paying for their daily needs, the last thing they'd want to do is to speculate in volatile cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin being very dominant in a inflationary environment will likely happen in my opinion, but most probably not right now.
2791  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why reveal my identity to get bitcoins ? on: October 07, 2022, 06:04:13 AM
Use either LocalCryptos or HodlHodl. UI/UX is going to slightly suck compared to full-fledged centralized exchanges and liquidity isn't going to be as great, but you don't need to submit AML/KYC. Just make sure that you're transacting with people with decent reputation.
2792  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Give me a minute of your time on: October 07, 2022, 05:14:04 AM
I have some USDT that I plan to use to buy coins probably when BTC is down to 10k which I believed would happened in September but it never did so I moved the USDT out of the exchange back into my wallet.

Holding your coins and tokens is good and all that, but don't forget that centralized stablecoins are custodial and can be frozen even on non-custodial wallets.

2793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin + MetaMask? on: October 07, 2022, 04:33:57 AM
Have you wondered why altcoin founders create their own tokens instead of using Bitcoin which simply works better than any altcoin? For exactly the same reason Metamask will never add Bitcoin into its software. They have no financial incentive to include something decentralized like the Bitcoin blockchain. ConsenSys Software Inc. owns Metamask as well as a company Infura that provides API to Ethereum full nodes. Given that it is infeasible for common people to have their own full nodes running, ConsenSys makes money selling access to this centralized bullshit while also making money staking these useless coins. In the case of Bitcoin, however, you don't make money just by running a full node, and you can't sell anything because a full node can be spun up even on small devices like Raspberry Pi, which means if you need one, you can have one without subscription to API. Unlike Bitcoin, its full nodes aren't scarce, whereas, in Ethereum, the coin itself is abundant, but its nodes are very rare.

They actually have the incentive. Not because they don't get to directly benefit from adding BTC, doesn't mean that there isn't any incentives. Them dominating the crypto wallet category gives them a huge advantage regardless if they directly make money from BTC or not.

P.S. MetaMask is making bank from the "swap" feature of their wallet.
2794  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Best cold wallet for BTC storage? on: October 06, 2022, 02:16:57 AM
If you don't know what you're doing, keep it simple.

Ledger Nano S/X + Electrum

or

Trezor Model S/T + Electrum

and

Just write down the 12-24 word backup on a piece of paper.
2795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin + MetaMask? on: October 06, 2022, 02:03:02 AM
It's an easy task, but it's not MetaMask, because MetaMask is based on Ethereum. It's the same as arguing it can work as a calculator, because implementing a calculator is an easy task.

Just because MetaMask is solely for the Ethereum network right now doesn't change that fact that they can't pivot to be something like TrustWallet/Exodus/LedgerLive which caters to multiple blockchains.
2796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin + MetaMask? on: October 05, 2022, 04:23:33 PM
To the replies saying that MetaMask can't add native Bitcoin(BTC): Why can't they? Whatever your private key is on MetaMask, can't it also easily be imported(in the back-end) to a separately coded Bitcoin wallet on the same MetaMask app/plugin? Ending you up with your MetaMask having a native Bitcoin(BTC) wallet.

Not 100% sure, but sounds like an easy task for competent developers as far as I know.
2797  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin's Price be affected by this? on: October 05, 2022, 04:09:53 PM
Now, my question is what impact do you think Mr. Musk's purchase of Twitter will have on Bitcoin's price if he succeeds?

What does this have anything to do with Bitcoin in the first place though? Not like it makes sense to integrate Twitter+Bitcoin with anything(besides the donations thing, which is nice but meh), unless you have an idea.

My guess: nil.
2798  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Copy trading / robo investing platforms? on: October 05, 2022, 03:40:23 PM
eToro's probably the only decently reputable platform that I could somewhat recommend for this. On the other hand — if you can wait, a platform called STFX(.io) is being developed; apparently with on-chain trading as well if you don't like AML/KYC.
2799  Economy / Economics / Re: We should separate the markets for Bitcoin* and centralized altcoins on: October 05, 2022, 12:58:32 PM
that's why we find some of these exchanges delisting some of the enlisted currencies because even them would have regretted taking such step from the start, thier criteria to get a coin enlisted should be more scrutinized that they can't even manipulate them,

Exchanges don't even need to "manipulate" certain cryptocurrencies to be able to make good money. All a trading pair needs is a good amount of demand, and the exchange would profit handsomely from the fees alone.
2800  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The sole difference is capital. on: October 05, 2022, 12:35:26 PM
Having capital is definitely a good thing, but it's not the only factor — and it's definitely not the main one. If you're really actually a good trader, you should be able to make it with the help of leverage.

^Not saying that I advice people to use leverage, of course.
