[Here’s a list, which centralized coins are affected:]

Maybe you have heard about SEC requirements for centralized Altcoins because many Altcoins are operated in a very centralized way.
If such Altcoins are too centralized, it’s not a decentralized cryptocurrency and such centralized Altcoins need to be SEC-registered to meet all requirements for security reasons, like if a big hack occurs at Terra Luna.
In opposite, decentralized cryptocurrencies can’t be hacked in a centralized way because of decentralization.

Here’s a list, which centralized coins are affected:

SEC Allege the Following Coins Are Securities in Coinbase Lawsuit

SOL, ADA, MATIC, FIL, SAND, AXS, CHZ, FLOW, ICP, NEAR, VGX, DASH, and NEXO

https://twitter.com/tier10k/status/1666055678610292737

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Avalanche are NOT affected.


SEC doesn’t consider Avalanche a security because Avalanche is a decentralized coin

Avalanche is a very decentralized network, where many people are participating and because of Avalanche’s decentralization. Avalanche has implemented a modern technology, called repeated subsampling, where all nodes can be scaled massively, making Avalanche network very decentralized.
Every coder can set up a node, so it is very decentralized.
Like Ethereum, Avalanche is already decentralized enough to be not considered to register for SEC documents. In opposite, many centralized Altcoins are due to get registered, which can take a long time for such a procedure, where many coins will lose market positions.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Avalanche are not required to do so.

It is huge bullish news for Ethereum and Avalanche. 

[1# AVALACHE]

It will be very important as usual to make good selections of our coins and while Bitcoin is looking very bullish right now, holding some Altcoins is very important because in a bull run, Altcoins are frequently outperforming Bitcoin because of new technology and innovation.
Here are my selections:

1# AVALACHE

Avalanche had many great news recently as AMAZON selecting Avalanche because of Subnets and Avalanche has seen numberous new applications launching on Avalanche.
In general, Subnets are a huge game changer on Avalanche: https://medium.com/@demirelo/the-era-of-avalanche-subnets-9e94f377cb65

Subnets are a collection of validators participating in Avalanche consensus. A subnet can have costomized Blockchain characteristics but it's based on Avalanche Blockchain. So, a Subnet can be a customized Blochkchain, validated by Avalanche validators who are also required to validate Avalanche's mainnet.
Every Subnet can have different levels of inclusiveness (for example: permissioned, public or private), Such an unique design opens up many possibilities to implement numberous enterprise applications on Avalanche's Blockchain.
AMAZON has detected Avalanche's potential already, when Amazon selected Avalanche: https://medium.com/avalancheavax/ava-labs-and-aws-bring-scalable-blockchain-solutions-to-enterprises-and-governments-295040a34263
In addition, Avalanche is a capped coin, making it scare and people can buy it as a store of value.

Avalanche can really have huge potential and increase in price massively.


2# ETHEREUM

Ethereum has achieved PoS in 2022, making it a top contender against Bitcoin's PoW when combatting climate change. PoS will make Ethereum less wasteful because PoS requires less energy consumption.
In addition, Ethereum is now more scarce as well even if Ethereum's supply has no hard cap but inflation of Ethereum is reduced since PoS.
Ethereum is still strong in DeFi applications, such like Uniswap. More demand of DeFi applications could drive demand for Ethereum.
Only issue is scalability of Ethereum: while Blockchains such as Avalanche have solved scalability, scalability on Ethereum still needs to be coded, which could take lots of time.


3# DOGECOIN

Dogecoin is an original coin and has been around for a very long time. Dogecoin is very famous because of Doge and it will always attract some people to buy it.
Compared to copies, like Shiba Inu or Elon Doge, Dogecoin will always be an original coin, not a cheap copy.
Dogecoin can be promoted easily because it's a timeless coin.


4# CHAINLINK

Chainlink is a relatively new Coin and it gained interest quickly.
Because Chainlink is very essential in an environment of a large number of Blockchains, which need to be linked, we can expect positive investments if we are long on Chainlink. It is likely to increase interoperability as an important factor between Blockchains and Chainlink is well positioned to be a leading Link coin. Chainlink is also supported by Avalanche core developers.
Finally, Chainlink has a massive support among NATO members advertising for it on various soccial media channels.



After all, coins are always speculative but my examples mentioned above are in my opinion a good selection.
We don't know about profits but in a bull market, Avalanche, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Chainlink could perform very well.

What's your Altcoin to look at in 2023?

Huge news for Avalanche: Amazon has now selected Avalanche to invent various Blockchain products and most likely, Amazon decided to select Avalanche because of Subnets.
Subnets are unique at Avalanche and can be customized to launch own networks on Avalanche for companies and also governments.
Subnets are growing fast on Avalanche.

Amazon decided now to take an opportunity by selecting Avalanche: https://medium.com/avalancheavax/ava-labs-and-aws-bring-scalable-blockchain-solutions-to-enterprises-and-governments-295040a34263

Right now, we don't know much about when Amazon is really going to start and how it will look like but here's a good article from Medium evaluing expectations from such a massive deal.
Amazon is a big company and it will be very profitable for Avalanche.

What's your expectation from such a great news from Avalanche as well as for Blockchain in general as a big company such like Amazon is pro Blockchain and actively involved now? 

In a new publication, Avalanche has announced a new technology where Blockchain can help to fund films.
People can send Avalanche Coins to known regisseurs and when enough money is collected, a film will be created. Everyone, who sent Avalanche Coins for funding will get later a revenue from cinemas, television broadcasts or film sales.

So, people can get back tons of money for successful films.

It's like ICO but for films. 

It could have a huge impact and bring speculation to film industries, where people can make money from funding films. 

Here is Avalanche's announcement: https://medium.com/avalancheavax/wpf-launches-tokenized-film-finance-offerings-ffo-hosted-by-republic-tokens-to-be-built-and-b6042c278d1d
From an speculation perspective, it's very promising because people will try to make money from funding films.


And have Blockchain as underlying tech once more. 

[Subnets]

As a new opportunity similar to DeFi or NFT, we are eagerly looking out for new innovative ideas from Blockchain applications.

And recently, Avalanche announced Subnets! But what are Subnets?

Subnets are unique Blockchains on Avalanche, where people will be able to create own Blockchains based on Avalanche Coins. Just like people can create an Ethereum Token, Subnets on Avalanche are for a whole Blockchain, deriving from Avalanche's Coin. It's Token 2.0 economy and could be huge, when coders can take advantage from it.



Many coins will be used for buliding such applications.

Here is a detailed and technical Article from Avalanche developers, why Subnets are likely to bring a new opportunity like DeFi and NFT’s did: https://medium.com/@demirelo/the-era-of-avalanche-subnets-9e94f377cb65

We all have heard about inflation.
Inflation is very bad.

It is when a good or product (or even money) is produced again and again, indefinitely.
It is when a product is not limited in its existence.

From an investment perspective, it is very important to look out for capped assets to avoid inflation of your asset.
Because when your asset is produced again and again, each unit will lose value because more units will exist because more units are produced constantly.
Producing an asset again and again, for an indefinite time, is inflation.

Avoid inflation in your investments by only choosing coins where coin numbers are capped and have a total limit:

Some capped coins:
- Bitcoin (21 000 000 coins)
- Litecoin (84 000 000 coins)
- Avalanche (720 000 000 coins)

[Debunk misconceptions!]

Education is always key when doing a detailed research about Crypto Currencies.
We really need to find a good coin to invest in.

But sometimes, misconceptions are very common, where misinformation is spread and it's difficult to find out, what's true.

Debunk misconceptions!

It is up to us to debunk misconceptions about Crypto Currencies because education is very important to research tech and basics.
When doing research about a Coin, people need to do a good DYOR.

Sometimes, people fail to do a basic research. We really need to do a good research and also share our knowledge.
So, I shared mine!

I have created recently some new topics, where I debunked a misconception:

Misconceptions about Avalanche - Avalanche is a Coin, not a Token
Very important to do our research: Avalanche [AVAX] is a capped asset

Probably, you know about more Crypto Currency misconceptions and in my opinion, it's very important to create educational content and debunk misconceptions.
Because some people use wrong information to spead lies about a Crypto Currencies as a marketing offensive to damage competitor coins.

People need to do more research here to spot misconceptions about Crypto Currencies and we need to write good education to debunk misconceptions about Crypto Currencies!
Writing a good education is up to us!


Which misconceptions do you know and what are you doing to debunk it?

[Let's debunk some misconceptions today!]

Let's debunk some misconceptions today!


When doing research about a Coin, people need to do a good DYOR.
It is important to research and find out about good projects and what a project really is about. It is about researching tech and basics.

Sometimes, people fail to do a basic research and end up investing in wrong Coins, getting (wrong) prejudices about a Coin / lose out on very promising Coins / end up investing in failed Coins.

We really need to do a good research and also share our knowledge.

So, I share mine today!


Avalanche is a COIN, not a Token!

Some people have called Avalanche [AVAX] a Token, what is wrong because it is a Coin.
It always has been a Coin.
No doubt!
Avalanche’s AVAX was already launched as a Coin!


Why is it important?

It is very important to look up if a Cryptocurrency is a Coin or a Token. A Token is of lesser value because it’s using an existing Blockchain as a Base. A Token is not genuine! A Token is not a new technology because it’s just based on an existing Blockchain. For example: Ethereum Tokens are based on Ethereum using ERC20 standard.
Ethereum is a coins and all ERC20 technology is based on it.
Difference coin and token – very important to know.

Because a coin is always a unique technology!
BitCoins, Ethereum Coins, LiteCoins, Avalanche Coins are all coins, all are independent Blockhains, independent technology.

Avalanche is a smart-contract Blockchain launched in 2020 and AVAX is Avalanche's native Coin!
Avalanche has gotten a lot name recognition by using a novel consensus mechanism, called Avalanche Consensus for its Coin.


A Coin is a unique Blockchain and independent technology.
A Token is NOT a unique Blockchain and NOT independent technology. It’s always based on an existing Blockchain.
Very important to know!

People have confused it for a long time but now you know!


So, now you know: Avalanche is a COIN, not a Token!

[is a capped asset]

People have been confused and some people did a very bad research about Avalanche because some people claimed Avalanche is not a capped asset. But it is not true, because Avalanche is a capped asset.
It can be seen in Avalanche’s whitepaper.

Avalanche is capped at 720M Coins.


https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/avalanche

Avalanche is a really scarce coin and it is also a deflationary Coin because transaction fees are burned. Yes, transaction fees are really burned:



Burned transactions fees are available on Avalanche but not on Bitcoin, so Avalanche is even more scarce.
People always need to do some basic research and here’s a great example of good research because researching if a project is capped and if yes, at how much coins a project is capped and if transaction fees are burned, is very important to research.

A very detailed guide how scare Avalanche is can be researched here: Why Avalanche (AVAX) has the potential to be an incredible store of value: https://medium.com/avalanche-hub/why-avalanche-avax-has-the-potential-to-be-an-incredible-store-of-value-8ef6e68cbb60
Doing our research here is a big step to finding out important information about Altcoins.

From an innovation perspective, Bitcoin is not a profitable choice anymore if we are doing an analysis.
Arguments:

• Bitcoin has already made most profits when Bitcoin was new 10 years ago. Yearly profits for Bitcoin are going down every year. Right now, it can't make much profits anymore because Bitcoin is already very big. Even a x2 for Bitcoin would be huge. For comparison: Bitcoin made x100,000 already. Bitcoin is at his life's end from a profit’s perspective. Maybe it can still make a x5 in a decade but compared to Bitcoin’s x100,000 already, it’s a tiny profit.
• More new coins, just released recently can make a much bigger gain from a price perspective because market capitalization is much lower. Good examples are Avalanche and Algorand, which could still do a x100, while Bitcoin only does a x2
• Bitcoin doesn’t offer new technologies like DeFi and NFT. It was a big reason why DeFi and NFT coins like Ethereum and Avalanche made big gains and will continue to make huge gains because new technologies are supported by coins like Ethereum and Avalanche. Bitcoin doesn’t support new technologies like DeFi and NFT. It will be a big issue because it’s very important to support new technologies and if not, your coin will be dropped and replaced by better technology. It’s always how tech improves.
• Bitcoin wastes a lot of electricity because more modern coins are more efficient.
• Bitcoin is overbought because everyone knows it while new coins are still very unknown and will get known more over time. Avalanche was only released in 2020 and Algorand was also only released in 2020. Only few people know yet about Algorand and Avalanche.

Conclusion: new tech (Avalanche, Algorand) is king and will replace old tech (Bitcoin) because better tech always wins.

Important development for DeFi just a few days ago:
Avalanche overtook Binance Coin in Total Value Locked (TVL), a very important metric for DeFi applications:



Total Value Locked (TVL) is a metric where all combined amounts of a coin used in DeFi applications are summed up.

Overtaking Binance Coin means a lot for Avalanche, because Binance has been occupying DeFi as a strong competitor where similar low fees are available but Binance is much more centralized, while Avalanche is more decentralized.

On Coingecko, Avalanche is still below Binance Coin but if Avalanche continues to be strong, Avalanche might overtake Binance Coin one day.
It's very bullish for Avalanche.

NFT's are unique pictures stored on a Blockchain and it gave a big hype around NFT's so far.

But please do your own research what is a NFT. It is just a picture stored on a blockchain and every day new pictures are launched.
It is not really scarce when always new collections are launched.

Over time, only very few people will buy such pictures and NFT's will get very hard to sell because nobody wants to buy old NFT's in a few years. Why should someone still pay high prices for such pictures?
I really don't know if NFT is a good investment and buying NFT's right now looks very high risk.

It might be better to get out ASAP and sell all NFT's.
It is much better buy coins because coins will have a high demand later. Coins will always be required in Blockchain interactions, especially big and scarce coins. Only scarce coins like Bitcoin are a good store of value.

Better buy coins, not NFT.

[Chainlink]

We have a very big crash right now and all our coins are at a loss.

While it is very sad to have losses, a crash is also a good opportunity to sell old coins and increase / add new coins. Prices will go up again at some point and for many coins it will result in a big price increase again. Even shortly after a crash, altcoins are likely to get more profits.

A crash has often resulted in a new market segment, where old coins were rejected and new coins gained popularity. It can happen now again!

So let’s have a look which coins could rise a lot, when prices go up soon (next bull market).
I have done some research and listed my personally most favorable coins for a big profit when prices will go up:



Chainlink

Chainlink is a very new coin and was rising last year very fast after it got detected.

But it still has huge potential if you look at what Chainlink is doing.

Chainlink will be essential for a multi-chain future where multiple Blockchains exist in parallel. Because Chainlink is needed to link each chains, Chainlink is in a strategically excellent position no matter which chain is dominant, no matter if Ethereum Blockchain, Binance Blockchain, Avalanche Blockchain or Cosmos Blockchain, Chainlink will always be required to link chains!
And Chainlink has already many partnerships.
As long as Blockchains exist, we will need Chainlink to link chains. Only few understand!
Chainlink will very likely see massive gains!



Avalanche

Avalanche is a top competitor against Ethereum. While Ethereum still needs to finish Ethereum 2.0 (it will still take a long time), is Avalanche already a PoS coins and doing what Ethereum 2.0 will do.

Because right now, nobody is paying 100$ for an easy Ethereum swap. Avalanche has every feature, which we know already from Ethereum, Avalanche is faster, more decentralized and already moved to PoS. In addition, Avalanche has also a limited supply. Avalanche is right now already doing what Ethereum 2.0 will do. Only few people know but many devs are already moving over to Avalanche.
Avalanche is solving scaling by using novel Blockchain technology which experts have reviewed and certified.

In addition, Avalanche will bring new Crypto products for everyone:
- ILOs on Avalanche (initial litigation offerings), where normal people can collect money to go to court and sue big players. While still many people spread FUD about Blockchain ILOs, it can be a very big use case because only few know about it!
- Subnets as unique Blockchains on Avalanche, where people will be able to create own Blockchains based on Avalanche coins. Just like people can create an Ethereum Token, Subnets on Avalanche are for a whole Blockchain, deriving from Avalanche's coin. It's Token 2.0 economy.

Avalanche is a very good coin from a technology point of view.



Uniswap

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange and got popular when it launched.
Until now, Uniswap is leading internally for decentralized exchanges.

Decentralized exchanges have multiple advantages like a very easy access, a democratic surface because we don’t need to trust a middleman. Uniswap is only based on code. Uniswap is permissionless because people don’t need permission to use it and Uniswap does not need maintenance fees.
Compared to Binance, Uniswap is much better.
Yes, Uniswap will flip Binance because Uniswap is easier to use.

Uniswap has a very high chance to replace Binance and profits of Uniswap can be huge.




We might have still some more interesting coins but I will stop here and ask for your opinion:

Which coins are you considering to buy more from after such a crash to prepare for a bull market?

[As my top coin, I predict Avalanche]

Everyone is interested to know how Coinmarketcap will look in 2025 because it will be a future prediction.
I have invested some time to consider how crypto can develop and I've created a possible Coinmarketcap of 2025.

Here is my prediction:



As my top coin, I predict Avalanche because it will bring new Crypto products for everyone:
- ILOs on Avalanche (initial litigation offerings), where normal people can collect money to go to court and sue big players. While still many people spread FUD about Blockchain ILOs, it can be a very big use case because only few know about it!
- Subnets are unique on Avalanche, where people will be able to create own Blockchains based on Avalanche coins. Just like people can create an Ethereum Token, Subnets on Avalanche are for a whole Blockchain, deriving from Avalanche's coin. It's Token 2.0 economy.
- Deloitte has also chosen Avalanche: https://medium.com/avalancheavax/deloitte-leverages-avalanche-to-improve-recoveries-from-natural-disasters-and-public-health-4fa3fd3644bf
As my coin top 2, I predict Chainlink because Chainlink will be essential
Chainlink is in a strategically excellent position because it is needed to link different Blockchains, especially for DeFi.
As long as Blockchains exist, we will need Chainlink. Few understand!
Chainlink will increase a lot!

Afterwards, I have predicted Uniswap, as a big decentralized exchange, Bitcoin as digital Gold, but it will keep losing places until 2025 because Bitcoin can't do DeFi, can't do ILOs and can do Subnets. It will be flipped.
Ethereum will also lose places, because Ethereum 2.0 will be delayed but Ethereum 2.0 will be working.

And very important: prices will go up in general and everyone will make a big profit!

Do you agree?

Which one is our most awful shitcoin?
So far, many shitcoins have been launched, including scams or coins of lies, like BSV from Craig Wright, also called Faketoshi.
Some coins are not right visibly scams but fraud coins like Tron or Ripple. Most fraud coins are centralized which is very bad for a coins because it is not censorship resistant and very unequal.

For us, we need to know about bad coins and avoid it because if no one buys awful shitcoins, such coins will die.
Crypto always need a good reputation to improve real adoption.

I hope all of you can list and explain which one is in your opinion our most awful shitcoin?
Plz post below! 

I just came over two accounts which are using the same BTC addresses to apply for bounty campaigns and I have posted my research in known alts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg49437820#msg49437820

Accounts: sham100899, hisori, fakegurutu


I digged a bit deeper and found a circle of sending Merits between them, involved another account, fakegurutu:

hisori received his Merit from fakegurutu, who sent also 3 Merit to sham100899 and received 5 Merit from sham100899.

BPIP fakegurutu  https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=fakegurutu
BPIP sham100899  https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=sham100899
BPIP hisori  https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=hisori

Merit history of fakegurutu:




fakegurutu and sham100899 both applied to join BitBlender signature campaign (only 5 minutes difference between posts):

sham100899: http://archive.is/PiQH6#selection-3915.0-3915.10
fakegurutu: http://archive.is/PiQH6#selection-5285.0-5285.10

It looks like these accounts are trading the Merit and are most likely alts.  

[Rule number one:]

The cryptocurrency market is a very speculative one and you have to make sure to avoid losses as good as possible. If you want to join the speculative cryptocurrency market you have to make sure to know some basics which are from traditional capital markets and other ones you'll only find in cryptocurrency market.
This is no investment advice, it's only a list which can be continued and if you have to add more interesting and important points, you can list them.

Rule number one:

- Only you are responsible for your investment and you have to decide very carefully where you invest your hard earned money.


Big don'ts:

- Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. If you do so you'll have extreme trouble and problems to pay for your everyday's life. You'll not be able to continue your life in a normal way, so avoid any huge investments you can't cover.
- Don't invest borrowed money from others and don't take a loan from a bank to invest in cryptos, this is very dangerous, don't do it. If you have losses you can't repay the loan and you will end up in debt. Here is a story of someone who took a loan, made huge losses and can't pay it back: https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/08/15/cryptohomie-who-spent-almost-150000-on-altcoins-sees-85-loss/
- Don't invest money that you need for your daily expenses (food, rent, electricity, etc.)

- Don't fall for scammers which want your money. The cryptocurrency market is not regulated and many scammers are waiting to steal your money. Never send money first if someone asks you to do so. Never invest in ICO withoud doing a detailed research. If you are not sure, stay away. The unregulated ICO market is heavily involved is shills, fake informations and manipulations. Even the big ICO rating sites are paid for better ratings.

- Don't get hacked or phished. Double check the url and only enter you password if it's original. You can also use bookmarks. Never share your private key, it's your access to your wallet. Many scammers want to steal your password or private keys, be aware.


Final advice

- The only person you can trust in crypto is yourself.


So, please be careful and invest your money wise, don't take too big risks because you can lose your money everytime in crypto. Life is hard already but try to avoid making it harder by false decisions you'll regret and riun your life. The market can be disappointing sometimes and it's impossible to compete against the whales.
All the best!

Master of Shitcoins 

Which country would profit most by endorsing crypto for their citizens? There are many countries which would profit from endorsing crypto for their citizens but which one do you think would have the most advantages? Personally I see the potential in Asia very high.

[shitcoin]

Today I have an interesting idea for all of you! You can vote for your most hated shitcoin. I hope we will have a great participation and can start a downtrend to our most hated shitcoin. Let's keep this market clean and name "cryptocurrencies" we don't need!!

You have 2 votes!!

There is no time limit of participation, this poll will run until end of the year.  

Cheers,
MoS
