I will stick with http://bundles.finance/
Bundle Finance had a different approach than most of this yield farming coin here

It had around $1M+ Marketcap now
They can hit $10M easily once they released their platform

I guess it will be fine if you actually hold Ripple and get the token drop

Not really sure if buying into it just for airdrop is a ideal solution

How many Spark tokens are available to claim?
45 Billion.
I doubt it will worth even $0.01, because that will have a fully diluted market cap of $450M airdropped to XRP which is way too alot
Anyhow i am not sure if the recent bullish XRP price had something to do with this Spark token but XRP had finally made a good price reversal into bullish zone
It has stay under radar for almost close to half a year where it fail to break $0.36 and finally, it breaked

I think i never really got a big airdrop, that's why i don't remember i get any thing that worth money
Anyhow coins like MEME is insane
The coin is airdrop fully free to people who participated in early
It worth like more than 5 Digit or 6 Digit on peak IIRC

Anyhow airdrop is good at some point is because airdrop allows the distribution to be fair and you wouldn't have a mega whale with 10-20% supply which he can dump

I read summary of it
Basically LN = create a side network/side channel on Bitcoin

But instead of publishing all every TX to blockchain, it computes and publish at once
Pros = Fast, Cheap, since everything is recorded on "Sidechain" instead of main chain
Cons = Lack of people who understand, Trust and most important "Complexity"

Of course it could scale BTC a lot, imagine instead of sending transaction every second and flooding the blockchain
Every transaction will be add/deduct on another ledger book, then only publish the transaction on a certain time frame let's say 0000 UTC everyday
This ensure that one Transaction which contains all the information in it

Most of these are mainly flash loan hack which is on price manipulation

Pickle got exploit today too
However it is not because of price manipulation but contract code exploit
Tbh Defi still had a long way to go because since everything is decentralized, it can't be reverse/pause, which is a heaven for hackers/exploiter
Because if they are capable, they can just take everything

Thus if you invested in similar project, kindly be careful with your funds

Of course investing in coins that are in Top 10 marketcap are much safer than Alts
One of the reason why Alts is becoming frenzy and flooded the market is because of Token Standards on Blockchain
For example on ethereum, we had ERC-20, ERC-721 and more
This means that people don't need to built their own "Ethereum", they can just create their own alts as an ERC-20 on Ethereum instead

Pros and cons does happen in every scenario
Creating Crypto become easy which is good for saving developer time, but also ease for scammer to scam people who don't do their own due diligence

Bitcoin is the Pioneer
It is classified as one of the most successful crypto as it had quite some history there
Bitcoin is proven that people are trusting the Blockchain itself despite it had no CEO, no Boss, Nothing backed
Because it takes a very long time to built up the entire ecosystem

Unlike other alts, where it is either done through ICO, or mining(Copy what Bitcoin did)
These actually caused conflict of interest
e.g. You as a boss of Coin ABC, you crowdfunding a huge source of money
3 years pass and you realised that the coin itself is not sustainable
Are you going to spent all the money back to the ecosystem or you just wanted to make money?
That's the problem
Blockchain should be decentralized, but if the coin backed by certain boss/institutions that are seeking for profit making
The coin itself might not fully achieve what Crypto should be

Telegram is not the problem mate
You are being subjective here

Telegram is just a tool
The environment, quality of chat does not differ just because it is on Telegram
If the coin's atmosphere revolve around PnD, Scams, Hyip
You can't avoid the fact that the chat will have tons of moonboi that is toxic or MOD that is toxic because the project itself is not genuine

As expected
Ethereum does really hit $500 before End of 2020

But can we actually hit $800?
$800 from $500 is close to 60% upside
It is not entirely impossible given that Crypto had actually very small marketcap compare to most financial instruments out there
Allocate a portion maybe 30-40% into Ethereum is fine imo

I will always go with Ethereum as it has strong use case and good fundamental

- Defi platform protocol prefer Ethereum than others
- Launch of ETH 2.0

ChainLink will be my #2 since it is crucial for Defi

Not really sure if you mean Top 500 as in all the 500 coins or coins that is around Top 500
Anyhow good luck with your pick

Not really a LINK Marine
But i will stick with LINK here
Given that the recent flashloan attack that are happening in the DEFI sector
Pricing oracle does really plays a huge role here

People might argue that flash loan attack can be mitigate by other solutions
Yes, of course it can but implementing an add on pricing reference point wouldn't harm tbh
So i will definitely stick with LINK

Don't think so
Despite we are close to $500 today and it corrected just now

Going to $1000 EOY would means ETH need to flip a 100% Gain from $500
It is not entirely impossible but i think it is not easy to achieve so

I would put $1,000 for 2021 or 2022
Market need some correction from here, it's way too heat

Go For Waves!
They uses DPOS - Delegate Proof of Stake

Where you don't actually give them your coins to stake, you pass the "rights"
Same to Kyber Network where your coins belongs to you, you just give up the rights

But if you are going for Yield Farming like providing LP's token
Might need to be careful with it as you are literally giving your LP token away to those pool
Becareful when you stake because there's tons of different method to stake

Its time to get Chainlink now after the big dip of close to 60% from $20 to $8
Despite now it's $14, but the recent flash loan attack due to price manipulation does prove that Chainlink is crucially needed to prevent using a single entity price reference point

Akro
ValueDefi
CheeseBank
Origin Protocol

It has a point why Chainlink exist and it's can be so huge in terms of marketcap
Not sure about BAT tho but i do use brave browser

I have a different opinion here
I don't think they are for quick investment
DeFi are here to stay, especially when people couldn't trust the central investment firms that hold our custodian anymore

Look at YFI, despite how expensive they are, they are proven to be a working finance model that are in the decentralized manner
Of course not All Defi tokens could profit because most are scam/not genuine
But if you really look out for the potential one, they might be best gain you ever had

Wow great chart for references there
By comparing the price of current Defi, seems like most had recover to the -90% price LOL
previously most had drop more than that
YFI dropped to sub $10,000 and its now back to $20,000
A very solid one

It's sad that Akro just got flashed loan attack, else they might be able to recover
Aside from all these DeFi coin, Waves actually gonna take over somehow
Their stables (neutrino) is gaining tons of traction and they are implementing more Decentralize Finance stuff

Ethereum made a significant recover ;p

I commented on this post a week ago if not mistaken
Hope my comment is took into consideration and congrats if you didn't buy it

Going against YFI when you feel it is too "expensive" is the last thing you would ever wan to do in the Crypto DeFi Market
They are literally implementing tons of insane stuffs and V2 of YFI is releasing soon iirc
Based off the growth rate i am thinking YFI could really flip and break higher high this run

Yeah tokenize Bitcoin as an ERC20
Ren is doing it good

TBH i was skeptical against REN as i feel would people really tokenize their ERC20 just for the cheap fee and fast tx speed?
Seems like its a yes
Same to wrapped btc

The amount of Bitcoin on Ethereum Chain is getting more and more

I think as long as it is classified as Crypto, it will always be correlated with Bitcoin
Bitcoin is like the USD of Crypto where most Crypto are paired to /BTC
Despite you might see pairs that are trade across pairs like ETH
Remember that ETH is still paired against Bitcoin

I do agree on why Bitcoin and Alts is always correlated is because market tend to move in a cycle
Different market cycle has different ups and downs for each category
When Alts is on fire and when it tends to consolidate or cooldown, people would sell it for Bitcoin or stables before it make another run
Same to Bitcoin, when it is too hot to touch, people would diversify their portfolio to other coins to mitigate single asset portfolio

But that doesn't really stop Crypto isn't it?

Yes, perhaps it might be tough to trade Crypto for Fiat
But with the arise of DEXs, DEFI where you are the sole owner of your money
Nothing can prevent it
Aside from cashing out, there's still ways to cash out for fiat by dealing with P2P with measurement

Unless they can shut down internet
Else blockchain are here to stay
