But whats the problem with this? No matter how much bitcoins is in hands of few richest wallets ... they still cant control your bitcoins, can't seize them, can't take them from you, can't print more than max supply. All they can do is "manipulate"price but you also need to know that its not that easy... Even if you own 100 000 BTCs and you aim to short them at 60k push price down to 20k and buy back .... you never know if your sell older wont hit into FEDs (or other county central bank) unlimited money buy wall because of secretly building reserves in bitcoin... And you end up with fiats that's value continuously go to zero and problem with buying back your stack without pushing price to 100k.

Some people (f.e author of article) seams to not know that life is so much better and so much easier when you are focused on building your own wealth rather than crying about the fact that other people are richer and blame them for everything bad that happens to you.

So what? Its always like that and you will never change it. Some people work 10h daily, are smart, brave, others live from social benefits. Some are focused on their hobbies, other or addictions (drugs, alcohol, pornography), others on earning and multiplying capital. One person buy new iPhone as soon as he manage to save 1000$ other use this money to start business or invest in others business. People are different so their wealth must be different.

 Its not about who have how many bitcoins. Bitcoin was not created in a way that everyone have 0.01 BTC and force people not to have more or less. Its impossible and in fact it blocks its main purpose (transfer of value).
Once again. Bitcoin was not made to make everyone wealth equal. It was made (one of its purpose) to make everyone chances equal. To transfer value without restrictions, to obtain asset that is not printed out of thin air by single centralized identity. Asset that its purchasing power did not decrease 95% in last 100 years (only because of printing and no max supply). Asset that cannot be seized by anyone.

Focus on your wealth and how you can multiply it instead of looking at others wallets.

Avoid using ETH for small amounts. There is USDT wrapped on trx and BSC where 1tx cost around 1$.

But if you are stuck with this on ETH chain I would not send TX with too low gas. I've tested it ... my TX was locked for few months... just to fail right after. As previous poster said. Better wait if you can't afford to pay this 46$. Wait and check gas trackers. But I have no good news for you. It does not look likely to decrease. Maybe after current bubble burst, ETH decent dump and few years in bear market to cool things down and make crypto "boring" again.

Isn't it true? After "MT Gox drawdown" btc dumped 80%. After 2017 bubble BTC dumped 80%. Same will be now, no matter if it will be 2021 and dump from 69k to 15k or in 2022 from 250k to 50k. Is it wrong to say that bubble burst 3 times in crypto history? During 2019-2020 there were open telephone support lines for people who want to commit suicide because they have lost their life savings... I know it looks easy to hodl from the top of the bubble perspective. Its not that easy after 3 years in bear market and 80-99% dump (depends if btc or alts).

Nasdaq during dot.com bubble also dumped 80%. And it was a bubble... no one question that. But after that tech survived and nasdaq is now +2000% from bottom. Same in crypto. The difference is that crypto is so dynamic that new tech or new paradigms show up much faster. So after third bubble we will most likely see fourth.


Even if you will distribute all global weath equally I bet that in about 1 year 90% of people will have a worse standard of living than before the distribution of wealth from the rich and 10% will be driving lambos. Mostly because people do not know how to save money, they have no idea about the economy, about investing, about simple math.

Nowadays crypto space is full of newbies that confuse gambling with investing. Same was during 2017 bubble. Eventually all of them will lose money.

Team may also buy whole supply during "ICO" to show fake interest, own 100% of supply, show fake trading volume right after, set price wherever they want (because when 100% of supply is in their hands, there is no selling pressure) and wait for naive investors to buy their bags ending project with rug-pull.

I jak twoja przygoda z cryptomines? Udało się coś zarobić, czy tylko przepaliłeś eteranal? I jak z Gods Unchained? Dało to już jakieś realne zyski?

BTW w sumie to najlepszą, sprawdzoną przez blisko 200 lat grą pay to win jest poker A dzisiejsze rozwiązania "provably fair", renomowane turnieje, sprawiają, że może i lepiej postawić na tradycję, jak ktoś chce dorobić grając.

Przeważnie od 2 do 10$, raz może miałem 20$. Nie jest tego dużo, ale cały quiz zajmuje minutę zwłaszcza jak ma się odpowiedzi a tokeny przychodzą bezpośrendio na konto binance. Problem jak są wymogi, by założyć jakiś specjalny portfel. Te są słabe, bo by potem zdobyć te tokeny to trzeba przelać tam ETH/BSC/SOL/AVAX czy inne tokeny by ruszyć tokeny po chainie, a to przejada zyski. Nie mówiąc już o czasie na pilnowanie kiedy to przyjdzie i ryzyku związanym z instalowaniem dodatkowego softu. To samo z podpięciem metamaska pod jakieś dziwne strony. To odradzam i w sumie fajnie jakby każdy, kto wrzuca tu airdropy wspomniał jakie są dodatkowe wymogi. Ja na pewno zacznę.

Yea ... Agree.
And thats why investing in startup evaluated at 12 B only because of "developer of chainlink is very active" is not the best idea. Especially at the top of 100x pump. Yea it may do another 10x ... most likely real alt seazon did not start yet ... but if its the end of this bull run ... link may be dead untill next one and better tech with even "more active developer" may take a lead.

Super high evaluation of 12 billion dollars cannot be doubted. Potential was already doubted by me post above yours. What potential are you talking about? Industry has to grow 10-50 times (few years, maybe decades) to justify current evaluation. During that time Link competitors may overtake it and present even better product. Oracle is not woth 12 billion dollars in 2021.

The problem is ... it will never be valuable. This is my calculation from june 2020:


How much is it now? After another 17 months? 10 billion supply?

Where do you see this project? Top 500 cmc? its rather top 2000 but ok, lets calculate for top 500 CMC - ~100 mln $ marketcap. It gives us 0.01$ per 1 PI and 0.06$ per day of mining. 21.9$ per year of sharing every single data there is on your mobile device.

Matic wygląda ciekawie (Wykres H4):



Odbiliśmy się od lini trendu wzrostowego, przebilismy trend spadkowy. Nie jest to idealne wejście, ale warto obserwować jak będzie się rozwijała sytuacji w najbliższych dniach. Wolumen tylko mizerny.

Widomo, że na koniec to i tak BTC podejmie decyzje o kirunku całego rynku, ale on też wydaje sie jakby miał utrzymać 55 300.

I might sound wird for most altcoin traders but did you guys thought whats the true value of Link at this moment? Its just an oracle with very little userbase ... evaluated at 12 bilion $ with lots of competitors. If that was a company listed on nasdaq it had to generate profit at around 400 000 000 mln $ annually. No one will pay that much in 2021 for LINK product. Maybe in 2030. I think that link is superovervaluated. It may flow together with other shitcoin during this bubble. Even reach new ATH, but its should not be considered as long term investment.

I recoment to take a look at this thread where bitcointalk community discussed Pi network:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237735.0

The conclusion was: Its a scam, It collects too much data about users, and you are risking for close to 0:




I would stay away from this project.

As I said:


"And its always the same way. Banks don't fight those penalties. Each time someone catches their little deceptive hands they say "ok, we will pay". You want to know why? Because if they would try to argue someone will check them better and another even bigger muck will show up. They pay fine and continue the manipulation because they earn 10x more from manipulation than they pay in fines for fraud."

1 out of 10 situation banks are punished. But does it changes anything to me as a client? No, because founds from penalties does not go to people, who lost money.

I'm speaking from my own experienced. I was trading 2 years on stocks, on regulated exchanges before I started with crypto. I've seen insider trading, spoofing on my own eyes. Even corruption in Financial Supervision Authority allowing company to show fake papers regarding company financial situation. I was watching this company very close beacuse i wanted to invest in it. Next day trading was off.
Here I know that scammer is around every corner. I know that there is no one I can trust so I act appropriately to the situation.



Name 1 situation in which profitable company that earns on fees from every single trade is forced to take unknown currecy risk.

Thats after 5 min research in google. I could find 5x more examples of manipulations using banks in next 20 min, internet is full of that, frauds of banks and regulated brokers that "operates in a legal regime and all its activities are regulated by law". And its always the same way. Banks don't fight those penalties. Each time someone catches their little deceptive hands they say "ok, we will pay". You want to know why? Because if they would try to argue someone will check them better and another even bigger muck will show up. They pay fine and continue the manipulation because they earn 10x more from manipulation than they pay in fines for fraud.



NEVER. crypto exchange is never and counterparty to your transactions. Only small, no volume, crypto exchange fill orderbook with their orders to build liquidity, but all they do is arbitraging to bigger exchanges. So in fact they are still not counterparty (dont take currecy risk). They move your trade to bigger exchange taking extra fine.


Wrong. If more people wants to short ... price is going down. Crypto exchange is not ment to support price. Why would they care about bitcoin stay at 55k instead of going to 54k? Crypto exchange never take risk. Why would they if they can take 0.1% from each trade with zero risk.

Cryto exchange is not gabling. How else would you call taking currency risk blindly by being counterparty to everyone who wants to trade?

Its popular. Binance wants you to connect your bank account too by prooving that you are an owner of it. Is it safe? Well you are 100% KYC now, its not safe, but if you ask about safety of your founds on your bank account ... as long as they dont ask you about your login/password to your bank account or whole data from your credit card and its legit coinbase website, they are not able to steal your money using IBAN only. And as i remeber it correctly thats all they need (together with 1 cent deposit to prove that you are an owner of this bank account).


Yes. In the end of the day it speed up withdrawals.

Whats the difference between buying 1000$ on spot with 10% stop-loss (100$ risk) compared to going long 500$ with x2 leverage and 10% stoploss (100$ risk)? Well zero despite the fact that futures has 5x volume, x times better liquidity,  lower fees, better, more professional UI, ability to have less money on exchange.

If you know what you are doing (especially money mangment) - "Crypto and leverage..." oh yea.

Wczoraj odbyła się druga walidacja po forku, który wprowadził validation sharding, czyli upragnioną skalowalność podczas walidacji. Obyło się bez błędów, a kurs, który spompował się blisko 2x w 3 tygodnie dodał paliwa sieci, która urosła podczas poprzedniej walidacji o blisko 10%.

Obecnie 11 200 nodów.

Na orderbookach widać też ostatnio znacznie większą prawdziwą aktywność. Duża część supply zmienia teraz ręce.

No zdecydowanie to nie jest zabawa dla mało i średnio zamorznych a dla przebogatych chcących osiągnąc wyższy poziom dywersyfikacji portfela. Na pewno osoba która ma 1000$ na inwestycje nie powinna pakować 1000$ w obrazek. Ale jak się ma 100 mln $ w akcjach, rejtach, nieruchomościach, surowcach, obligacjach ... wpakowanie 10 000$ w 10 NFT dobrze dobranych artystów przenosi dywersyfikację portfela na jeszcze wyższy poziom.

(przemyślenia o NFT, głównie dla sceptyków)

Słyszałem to wiele razy. Sam nigdy nie kupiłem NFT i zapewne nie kupię, ale nie jestem też w obozie totalnych sceptyków. Dlaczego? Argument możliwości skopiowania NFT i traktowania go jak zwykły jpg wywala się na plecy w momencie, w którym sprawdzimy cenę mona lisy "The Mona Lisa is one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest known insurance valuation in history at US$100 million in 1962[12] (equivalent to $870 million in 2021)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa

Blisko 1 mld $. Ale możecie powiedzieć ... to obraz, tego nie da się kliknąc prawym i skopiować ... No to teraz pytanie - ile kosztuje replika:

Można znaleźć oferty od 200zł (Dzięki zastosowaniu innowacyjnych rozwiązań technologicznych nasze obrazy wyróżniają się trwałością barw i doskonałym odwzorowaniem kolorów.
Reprodukcje typu Canvas naciągnięte są na sosnową blejtramę, a reprodukcje na papierze oprawiane są w ramę z tworzywa, passe-partout oraz szybę.)

Do 4000zł za ręcznie malowane repliki praktycznie nie do odróżnienia przez amatora.

za 40 000zł pewnie znajdzie się artysta, co zwiedzie swoją replika nie jednego specjalistę.

Jest nawet mona liza z papierosem za 120zł



4000zł (wartość identycznego obrazu ale bez wartości kolekcjonerskiej - byciem tą wyjątkową, jedyną sztuką malowaną przez Leonardo) to zaledwie 0,0004% wartości obrazu, co można równie dobrze uznać za błąd pomiarowy i przyrównać do 0. Czyli blisko 100% wartości Mona Lisy to wartość papieru potwierdzającego autentyczność - dokładnie tego, czym jest NFT.

Czy warto więc wchodzić w ten biznes i kupować obrazki za tysiące dolarów? Moim zdaniem nie i na pewno nie w obecnych cenach. Trzeba pamiętać, że drogich obrazów jest kilka a malarzy, którzy byli i przepadli są tysiące, a obrazy (i inne dzieła sztuki) wartość swoją budowały przez setki lat (mona lisa przez 500 lat). Szansa na trafienie kolejnej mona lizy jest bliska zero a monetyzacja takiego zakupu to z 100 lat minimum, gdzie to faktycznie będzie można mówić o wartości kolekcjonerskiej. Do tej pory wartość minimalna (roboczogodziny artysty).

Jakie są wasze przemyślenia?
