501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any airdrops you are anticipating this year? on: February 05, 2024, 03:32:12 AM
Man — I'm tracking A LOT that I'm having troubles tracking them all.

HyperLiquid, Azuro, Blast, Grass, Parcl, MarginFi, Kamino, zkSync, Linea, Scroll, Wormhole. There are some others but these are my bets where I'm quite confident it will amount to something decent.
502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A good time to buy Aptos on: February 05, 2024, 02:36:45 AM
Any reason why you think Aptos is a great pick compared to other similarly new L1s such as Sei/Sui/Monad/Near/Manta/zkSync/Scroll/etc? (the list goes on and on and on)

L1s still have a huge premium compared to DApp tokens and appchains, but what makes Aptos 'the' pick?
503  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Seeking recommendations for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on: February 05, 2024, 12:26:50 AM
Thanks to everyone who offered their replies here.

Unfortunately, based on the information provided, t seems I need to abandon the idea of a decentralized Bitcoin-altcoins exchange. While there are instant swap services available, they differ from true exchanges in some key aspects.

Would anyone happen to have a compiled list comparing the fees and other pros and cons of these instant swap sites? I haven't been able to find one myself.


If you want a "DEX" that can let you swap between BTC and altcoins, then ThorSwap or ChainFlip.

Pros:
  • Truly non-custodial
  • Easy enough to use if you've used DeFi before(ChainFlip is easier to use than ThorSwap but both works)
  • Decent liquidity unless you're swapping huge amounts of money

Coins
  • ThorSwap has been hacked a few times in the past, though this should only be a problem if you're LPing (not necessarily when you're just swapping)
  • Bad for active trading. You're better off using HyperLiquid, dYdX, or Aevo if you're actively trading
  • Can take longer than swapping with a CEX
504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your take on this Robert Kiyosaki's thought? on: February 04, 2024, 03:59:25 PM
Not really sure what he's trying to say here because he says random blabber sometimes despite him having good points in some of his books, but I think the main gist of his statement is pretty much to buy bitcoin, and hold for long-term while ignoring price fluctuations.

what's the guarantee that once you've bought bitcoin you are 100% certain that you've made profit.

At what point can you consider to have made profit in your bitcoin holding journey?
Just ignore what he's trying to say here lol he's probably just trying to be sort of philosophical. You're in profit once bitcoin's price is higher than your average buy price. That's it.
505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC in Russia on: February 04, 2024, 03:40:30 PM
Didn't Binance leave the Russian market last year, and removed the Rubles from its 'peer to binance and binance to peer' platform, i don't think Russian customers can still use Binance, but correct me if i am wrong.

Totally no idea at all as I'm not from Russia, but I just did a quick Google (directed to Reddit) search and some are recommending Binance P2P so I just made the assumption that they can access it lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/126w19r/how_to_buy_bitcoin_in_russia/
506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Zeta Chain - What is Your Opinion ? on: February 04, 2024, 03:31:56 PM
I didn't know about ZetaChain before the airdrop, but didn't they require AML/KYC for the airdrop? Like, I know Sybil attacks on airdrops are definitely a huge problem, but AML/KYC shouldn't be the solution at all especially for a crypto product.
507  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will government recognition kill cryptocurrency or boost! on: February 04, 2024, 07:15:16 AM
Bitcoin or other digital currencies have a rebellious image because they are outside of government control. But when it comes under government regulatory agency, Bitcoin will no longer have that rebellious image. And will be counted as one of the ten institutional investment sector.

Not necessarily. It's not like suddenly all bitcoin is under government/regulatory control if it gets regulated. There will be people that solely just wants price exposure(hence goes with Bitcoin ETFs), and there will be people who prefer having self-custody. It's not one or the other.

Ako: always been full-time crypto since nagtapos ako ng college lol.

Take note that maraming pwedeng pagkakitaan sa crypto outside of trading/investing, and na hindi kailangang manloko ng tao(e.g. hacks, scams). Industriya ito na kailangan rin ng mga professions gaya ng designers/programmers/advertisers/writers/etc.
509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC in Russia on: February 04, 2024, 05:03:30 AM
If your friend is fine with submitting AML/KYC documents, then Binance P2P is the GOAT. His/her bank doesn't even necessarily know that he/she's buying BTC because it's P2P.

Also did a quick search and yea, Binance P2P seems to be the way to go: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/126w19r/how_to_buy_bitcoin_in_russia/
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coreum & the Need for Lightning-Fast Blockchain Transactions on: February 03, 2024, 11:33:15 AM
It's very easy to make *projected* TPS figures that could potentially lure in people and get them interested lol. "Fast" blockchain protocols aren't really anything new.

Go back here once this Coreum thing actually gains some usage from actual people while actually maintaining that TPS figure. I'll wait.
511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Supported by Larry Fink - big opportunity for Avalanche? on: February 03, 2024, 05:10:54 AM
So.. I'm missing the part where this should be a "big opportunity" for Avalanche because of support from Larry Fink?

Manage your bullishness if everything that's bullish for crypto is automatically bullish for your personal pick.

Avalanche is indeed a good L2 coin but I don't find any direct implication on the post or the articles how Larry Fink supported it.
Avalanche isn't even an L2. It's an alternative L1.
512  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Nag impose na ng 1% tax ang BIR sa online merchant. Next na ba ang crypto? on: February 02, 2024, 03:57:36 AM
Hindi naman talaga malabo. If I remember correctly ung gross tax for buying/sell Philippine stocks is around 0.5-1%? Tapos iba pa ung value added tax(VAT). Knowing those numbers, impossibleng hindi nila subukan i apply a crypto.
513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At a range of 2years, can a Bitcoin literate invest with a borrowed fund in BTC? on: January 31, 2024, 10:52:02 PM
"No Risk and No Rewards"

Using this quote doesn't automatically mean you're going to take stupid amounts of risk; using your own money is risky enough.

Like if you don't have capital, then do something about it so you can have capital — you know, probably like getting a job or starting a small online business?

Not because bitcoin has had predictable price cycles in the past doesn't mean it's guaranteed to happen again.
514  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Marvin Favis na scam? on: January 31, 2024, 10:34:31 PM
Investing "entrepreneur" at "influencer" pero na scam sa typical investment scheme.  Roll Eyes

Ang malala pa, nagsama pa ng ibang tao dun sa investment scheme imbis na sinolo nalang. Sana bumagsak tong influencer na to para naman matuto ung mga influencer. Pero unfortunately makakalimutan rin lang ng mga tao to after a while.

515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: bullish 2024 ! on: January 31, 2024, 07:20:26 AM
How is the emergence of new projects a bullish indicator? Literally new projects are getting released all the time regardless if it's a bull market or a bear market. A better indicator would probably be things like stablecoin inflows and CEX/DEX website/app traffic.
516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for Jupiter (JUP)!!!! on: January 30, 2024, 04:49:57 PM
Depends — define "success" or "failure"?

If you're referring to the platform, then it's pretty much 'the' DEX for Solana, and now they have PERPs, and soon they'll have a launchpad. It's going to be a dominant platform on Solana for sure.

As for the token, that'll always be a huge question mark(?).
517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Between new tokens and old tokens, which would you invest into? on: January 30, 2024, 04:34:26 PM
It's like asking if it's better to invest in old stocks or new stocks — it'll totally depend on which stock(or token, in this case)!

The only advantage of newer tokens is that there's a good chance that it'll have a not-so-shitty chart; whereas most old tokens will likely have a shitty chart. That doesn't mean old tokens can't pump though — take a look at MakerDAO and the like; they haven't reached ATHs, but the bounce looks really good.
518  Other / Meta / Re: Should bitcointalk ban promotion of other forums? on: January 30, 2024, 06:16:03 AM
I think you are wrong my friend, I don't know what kind of forums you think about but in my country there is a very famous one and it is full of young people: forocoches.com.

According to https://www.semrush.com/website/forocoches.com/overview/ it has 130 million views a month it's 605 global rank worldwide and 16 in country rank. Bitcointalk has much worse data by comparison. And I don't know what you mean by 'traditional forums' but that one is for sure, as it was launched even before bitcointalk, in 2003.

But to address the OP's question, I don't think bitcointalk should ban talking about forums either (I haven't seen 'promotion'), and I think it goes against the philosophy of theymos.

Oh I never said forums are totally dead; there will still be decent amounts activity for sure(especially niche stuff, like tech/programming), but if stretch it out in a longer timespan, they've been easily dying to modern equivalents(modern social media sites, Reddit, etc).
519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is MATIC the new ADA CARDANO? on: January 30, 2024, 04:54:56 AM
It's not even comparable. Unlike Cardano, Matic/Polygon actually has a decently healthy ecosystem of DApps that people actually use.

As for the token though, no idea about that. I'm personally not a fan of holding(outside of quick trades) layer-2 tokens; especially matic/polygon which isn't even technically a layer-2 today, and the fact that I dislike how the founders keep on hopping narratives.
520  Other / Meta / Re: Should bitcointalk ban promotion of other forums? on: January 29, 2024, 04:57:26 PM
There's no need, simply because traditional forums such as Bitcointalk are mostly a thing of the past already and a traditional forum alternative is very unlikely to overtake Bitcointalk. I'm pretty sure Bitcointalk would have very few active users today if it weren't for bounty campaigns anyway.
