A few weeks / months later, I'm still getting new "massive giveaway" scam videos interrupting my YouTube viewing.
Already, there's been several Michael Saylor clones and Coinbase, but I was surprised to also see Cathie Wood added
to the mix there !
Wait WHAT?!? Yes, Cathie Wood from Ark Invest asking us fall for the QR Code Scam !
So to recap, here's the list of clones in this elaborate scam so far :

Charles Hoskinson  --- Cardano
Brad Garlinghouse  --- XRP
Sergey Nazarov ------- Chainlink
Michael Saylor ---------MicroStrategy
Brian Armstrong ------ Coinbase
Anatoly Yakovenko --- Solana Labs
Larry Fink ------------- Blackrock
Cathie Wood -----------Ark Invest

Don't fall for it !

Stocks would be a good way to park the money you have made during a crypto bull run.
You can't expect them to do a 10X but it's a way to maintain your wealth if you invest
in something well established like Apple or Nvidia. You can still double your money in the long run.

Realio is one of them. And I don't think their platform is ready.

I know there is a number of crypto projects who claim they will offer stocks and real estate under the "real world assets" banner.
I've heard this since 2020. Meanwhile, it's already 2024 and I still CAN NOT buy Nvidia stock in Web3. There are also other interesting companies to invest in outside of US, so I believe the potential is huge outside of the top 6 Tech stocks everyone knows about ( Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Meta, Tesla, Amazon ).
Unfortunately you still have to do it through a broker and they put all sorts of restrictions on what you can do and how. Now, of course I fully expect KYC to be a requirement once stocks are made available in Web3, but I will say if there was ever a time to do away with the middleman this is it ! We do not want brokers to handle our business for us.

Why is Nosana ranked 156 on CoinGecko and a dismal 2365 on CoinMarket Cap?  Volume rank is 306 on CoinMarket Cap. Coin Gecko does not rank by Volume.

I think it's good to look at what "the smart money" is doing sometimes, and realize that they may not be as smart as we think they are.

LIQUIDATED !! Wow.

May I just add Davinci is a known whale and quite likely holds thousands of Bitcoins. Many people in the space consider him a legend.
Garreth Soloway is probably not a Bitcoin whale, but certainly a very rich trader featured in Kitco quite a few times.
Thomas Kralow ( another rich crypto trader running multiple companies and living in Dubai ) also shorted Bitcoin a few weeks ago, but I don't know how bad his losses are.

So I've seen 3 more Michael Saylor "BitCoin giveaway" scams since my last post. The quality of these isn't as good as the other ones I mentioned earlier.
It seems scammers aren't even putting much effort into making the Michael Saylor clone believable anymore.
One that caught me by surprise was a CNBC spot featuring Larry Fink, where both the CNBC host and Larry were cloned for a
"Massive Bitcoin Giveaway" scam.
So the list of cloned crypto leaders now grows to seven:

Charles Hoskinson  --- Cardano
Brad Garlinghouse  --- XRP
Sergey Nazarov ------- Chainlink
Michael Saylor ---------MicroStrategy
Brian Armstrong ------ Coinbase
Anatoly Yakovenko --- Solana Labs
Larry Fink ------------- Blackrock

Can you elaborate on this ? I thought you'd lose your "bet" if the market goes against you, as with DaVinci shorting Bitcoin at 49K

Can anyone think of any high-profile traders that got it totally wrong ?
I can think of a few off the top of my head : Michael Burry, Sam Bankman-fried, Kevin O'Leary, and other VCs backing FTX

I'll give you two examples: Garreth Soloway ( featured in Kitco a few times ) and Davinci ( early Bitcoin adopter )
They both shorted Bitcoin at 50K - 49K. And quite likely they're both getting liquidated soon.
To me it simply goes to show anyone can be wrong, and you shouldn't be certain of anything short term.

Okay I will try do that now. May I just add I prefer the old Coin Gecko layout, this one doesn't work for me at all ! Same with the changes Meta makes without consulting anyone.
All of this just reminds me how much we need a decentralized system where users have a say and are not merely consumers and numbers in a data chart.

Thanks guys. No, my post is not copied and pasted just incorrectly spaced because i use magnifier while writing.

Not sure if this question belongs here but here goes:
Up to recently I've been relying on CoinGecko to check Bitcoin ( and Altcoin ) prices,
but also to check specific stats such as Market Cap dominance, social engagement, monthly
and yearly growth, etc.
CoinGecko has recently changed their display so I don't find some of these stats there anymore.
Coin Market Cap never had them clearly displayed in the first place and I still don't know
where they put them.
Anyway, out of those stats I mentioned, Market Cap dominance is the most important one... I check
it regularly to see whether we are getting close to Altcoin season, or whether Bitcoin's dominance is
so high that it make more sense to load up on Bitcoin. It's been a couple of weeks without me checking
Bitcoin's market cap dominance and to be honest I feel completely lost. Anyone knows where I could
find this information updates ?

It worked ! Yes !

I am still trying to figure out a way to embed a YouTube video on my post. 

Here goest my 1st attempt

Tried the menu options here... didn't work.

Am I the only one seeing these Ads ? And no, these are not 2 year old Elon Musk scams, these are DAYS OLD A.I. scams, using the latest A.I. technology to present a digital clone of someone, sounding and looking EXACTLY like the original ! ( there are tiny nuances that give it away, but only to someone who's worked with image manipulation before )

Co-Founder of Solana, Anatoly Yakovenko joins the list !!
