The n/a mostly means little to no liquidity. When a certain token's pair has little to no liquidity, it will take far less money to pump/dump that token's price compared to a token that has decent liquidity. It's the main reason why they pump so easily in the first place.

1. Crypto scams have existed for a while now, and scams are simply something that exists in any industry. We don't need more policing in this industry, people just need to learn to not be greedy and delusional.

2. You can fork Bitcoin and do your own alterations on what you think should be "best" for it, but in the end it will just end up dead. Bitcoin's economics is good enough. If you create too much supply through "high mining rates", you're going to increase the supply too much that the price will crash just as fast. The same reason how the federal reserve keep on printing more and more USD, decreasing it's value.

Nothing really new here though, as a lot of VCs are like that even in more "traditional" tech startups. If you have so much capital, you can totally afford to sort of "spray and pray", hoping that at least 5-8 out of 100 early stage investments would make it big.

You're simply not going to get fees on erc-20s THAT low. Don't really expect exchanges to be shouldering the fees for you, as the minimum blockchain fees are like $30 at minimum for a while now; and don't even get me started on how much smart contract transactions are now.

You either leave the funds on exchanges for now and wait for Ethereum fees to drop(lol) or wait til certain exchanges allow withdrawals through Ethereum L2s and sidechains(Polygon, Arbitrum, etc).

Unless the bitcoin that was stolen got retrieved, then no 150k BTC wont enter the markets. As far as I know(correct me if I'm wrong) MtGox will just give compensation to the victims, with bitcoin that are worth nowhere close to what the stolen bitcoin are worth today.

How will bitcoin literally breaching new all-time highs not add any value to your portfolio though? The only way for it to not add value to your portfolio, is if you're not holding bitcoin in the first place.

Also, I don't really care if $70k is the top this year. My investing time horizon isn't 2 months, and it will just give me more time to accumulate.

Probably only a small minority of people here use Robinhood for buying bitcoin/crypto. A lot of people here dislike using exchanges that require AML/KYC.

Quick reminder that you're handing over custody over your bitcoin when using services like Celsius. I'm not telling you to not do it, but you might want to reconsider.

Mate if you don't know what to do with your money and where to invest it, then you might need to do your own reading. You shouldn't be doing investing if you're just going to go with my(or anyone's) recommendations. Probably hold on to your money until you find something worth investing in.

Do you think that Chainlink is "relatively cheap" because its unit price is $33? Well, it already has a $15b marketcap with $33b fully diluted. That valuation is definitely not "relatively cheap".

Not sure on the Google authenticator app's current state, but there are alternatives that has pin locks. Also, if your phone gets stolen and the thief manages to easily get into your stuff easily without lock screen security in the first place, then you're probably doing it wrong.

If I understand correctly, you haven't set up your Google Authenticator yet, and are planning to set it up, hence they're sending you an email code to verify that it's not a hacker/scammer setting up the authenticator.

If so, this seems to be a problem on their side. Assuming that there's nothing wrong with ProtonMail currently, all you can do is to contact their support: https://support.kucoin.plus/hc/en-us/requests/new

or maybe contact them on Twitter if you're impatient: https://twitter.com/KuCoinCom

Your Google verification code shouldn't be sent to your email; it should come from your 2-fa app(Google Authenticator, Authy, etc). There's a different between your Google 2fa code, and your email verification code.

Or am I missing something here? Give us more information.

If you'd like to be really really specific about each wallet software's security, I'm afraid you'd have to dig onto their source code yourself. Not sure if anyone here has THAT deep of technical level that they'd understand the literal ins and outs of most wallet "brands".

But if you're just asking about the kinds of wallets in general and which one to use, there are lots of guides that you can use to educate yourself.

I personally haven't used it, but what I can almost guarantee is that it's a legitimate exchange. It's been around for a whole now, previously known as Monaco, until they managed to snag a god-tier domain, then it seemed to be pretty much up-only for their business. Probably expect a similar service as Coinbase.

As a wallet though, not sure why you would use a centralized exchange for a wallet. For long-term holding, use a non-custodial software wallet, or better — grab a hardware wallet from a reputable manufacturer. Preferably a Ledger[1] or a Trezor[2].

Cryptocurrency owners are mostly just one of the two:

Risk takers: obviously, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a new concept, with higher levels of risk compared to traditional assets, but with higher potential reward.
Ignorant: yea, those people who think their crypto of choice is guaranteed to go to the moon or something.

As for hardware wallet users, yea you can probably make the assumption that they're paranoid, but it's mostly just them being smart. Because they've learned about people's mistakes in the past(MtGox, Bitfinex, etc), and they wouldn't want it to happen to them.

And if you think storing your coins on exchanges is safer: https://cryptosec.info/exchange-hacks

It actually makes sense. When picking a stablecoin to either hold or trade, you'd check which stablecoin has the highest trading volume because stablecoins that have higher trading volume tend to be less volatile or more "stable". You can actually sort using the column:

I'm pretty sure Emin Sirer was referring to stablecoins overtaking bitcoin in terms of either marketcap, or transaction usage. It would be exceptionally dumb to actually expect bitcoin to drop below a stablecoin in terms of unit price($1) lol.

Quick reminder that BitConnect used to be somewhere in the top 20. And right now, we still have XRP, dog coins, LTC, BCH, in the top 20. And the more you go down the more useless crap you see.

You're totally underestimating how much various ways of manipulation a project can do to easily end up in the top 100.

Quick reminder that it's heavily inadvisable that you memorize your seed phrase. So much things could happen that could end you up losing the seed phrase on your head; from unexpected brain aneurysms, various kinds of accidents, or you know — just you forgetting them.

I don't think that exists currently. And even if it exists, I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea. While a lot of people here on Bitcointalk are bitcoin-only people, I'm pretty sure even the biggest altcoin investors would tell you that this is a really really bad idea. Just so much crap even in the top 20 alone.

If you want a good balance of exposure to the cryptocurrency space, probably go 50/50 on BTC and ETH instead; or probably 45/45 BTC and ETH, and then feel free to speculate with the 10%.
