I was already into BSC chain and thought how different it could be but I'm glad to find that it's much better. Also tried Avalanche but none of the chains are as cheap as Polygon/matic. The fees are below 1 cents even at this moment and the adoption is great. A lot of people I know including myself are on the way of shifting from BSC chain to polygon. It's always good to diversify your options and polygon/matic has established itself as a good option. I assume the price would too rise with the use.

Unlike to some prediction, most people are saving during the covid times. Some people in hospitality business are still suffering but most of the people are back to their work or a new one. And with lower travel and other expenditures, people tend to have more cash on their hands. Hence the flood of capital into stocks market and crypto. And with current crackdown on private companies in China, Chinese are all into crypto now.
Crypto is one of the safest place you can invest right now. Just keep the money for your food with you. Don't invest more than you afford to lose. And you are all set to ride the crypto wagon.

Tradingview provides the most indicators and charts for free. They also have options to look at strong buy or strong sell depending on different parameters. Another site I use to look at the current trend is cryptometer.io they have some live updates on buying and selling sentiments. And you also need to play with different buying and selling options with your exchange, most of the popular exchanges provides almost all of those features for free. Some even provide creation of different bots to play with your strategy.

There were so many dead coins in my old ethereum wallets that I had to squeeze out anything and left it to clean the clutter. With lower fees of BSC chain and polygon, moving onto or creating several address for different purpose is easier. Most of the coins kept on decreasing in price as the developer left the project and got delisted from every exchange or are so less that the fees of moving them is larger. There are also so many useless coins sent for fun or scam coins with some loopholes in smartcontract. They are even abundant in newer torn and BSC chain ecosystems.

I don't know if it's related to gas fees of Ethereum but the fees on BSC network has certainly increased. I'm paying over a dollar for some actions or exchanges now. Still cheaper than Ethereum but a put off when you are trying to make a couple of dollars profit here and there. Polygon is still cheap. No idea if it too has rose recently as my wallet doesn't display decimals less than a cent. That means the fees are still below a cent.

The Shibaswap from the Shiba Inu team has an option to stake Shiba Inu coin for Bone which at the moment provides 111.5% APY on Shiba Inu token. The rate is fine according to a defi standards but the real reward would depend on the long term price of both Shiba Inu coin and Bone token. This was a stupid investment to start with but if you haven't sold still, the team is trying to make it more mainstream at the moment.

They seem to have a very good value if you import them into pancakeswap but the approval of the token doesn't goes through. A few who went through the claimed website through name or address has claimed of providing the approval which has drained their own balance rather than being able to exchange it. I don't have a proper proof but I didn't feel like trying it myself. There are different types of approvals and people should keep these as low as possible.

It were a bit low for some weeks. Went as low as 4 gwei. Now the fees are high, not as high as on the last bull but with the price rise, the fees on dollar has rose geometrically.
ETH is been nearly unusable for dapps and defis for quite a time now. Projects like BSC and Polygon are keeping the network popular. ETH still could be a good decentralized coin like bitcoin, but I don't see it being used as a utility token unless serious improvements are implemented.

I believe all of them would be compatible to ETH2.0 as well. How cheaper and quicker the fully implemented ETH2.0 would decide whether people would prefer it or not. But we are always going to have options. There already are multiple of platforms and many of them are getting good attention. It's not that people would just move everything on one which has the cheaper fees. This diverse ecosystem within an ecosystem would be difficult to track and maintain but having multiple option would always benefit the users.

I like to believe that Elon Musk is a decent person but his actions clearly suggests he along with some of his rich friends are in possession of a large amount of cheap dogecoins. The project was going in its way and as soon as the Elon has interest over it, now it has a different advisors and roadmaps ahead. They are even trying to change the algo which was not the plan for dogecoin. Clearly the devs are getting some financial help in moving towards a different strategy.

Just used the chain yesterday and was impressed. I've been using BSC a lot and one single interaction on BSC sometimes reaches over $1 at the moment. Transfers are above 50 cents most of the time. Withdrew matic from coinex (0.1 matic fee) to metamask, and everything after that was about feeless. Transactions and every type of interactions happened below 1 cent. The best thing is it gives you opportunity to try many things and settle on what works for you. Experimenting have really gone costly in BSC and is impossible in ETH native chain.

It would not be possible for every government around the world to crash down on bitcoin at once with strict measures. Not all government are autocratic and some of them even listen to their citizens.
The more the government tries to control, the more people would defy it. It may get difficult for people to speak out about trading the coins in public and it might be hard to get buyers and sellers but people would find their ways. Not every government has same level of influence and people would just move to an easier place to cashout or just ask people from easier jurisdiction to cash and wire them.

It's not just about bitcoin but the new ways and opportunities bitcoin has brought in international finance. Just an example on what level of disruption bitcoin and crypto has caused and where it's heading.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/crypto-to-replace-fiat-within-10-years-financial-execs-say-deloitte-2021-8

76% of finance industry executives suggested that crypto would replace fiat within 10 years. Bitcoin alone would not have created this situation. Bitcoin solves many problems and is a good overall currencies. But specific use currency would certainly excel on specific jobs. There are still a few problems left to be solved or with the rise and high degree adoption of crypto, the economy too would adopt to integrate it.

I had previously traded matic for profit but yesterday was the first day I ever used it. And honestly I was surprised to see how quick and cheap it is.
Sent some USDT from Kucoin (huge 15 matic withdrawal fees) to Coinex (0.1 matic) and sent it to metamask wallet. Bought some polybunny. A similar transaction on BSC network would have cost me about $1 at the moment, it went through in matic chain just for $0.002 fees. I'm going to move a large chunk of my assets to matic now.

It's scary out there. People should limit their interactions and permission with different dapps as low as possible. There are services that would let you manage permission like the one offered by beefy finance. Large APY doesn't always mean good. You should use a different wallet if you want to experiment with new defis.
And handling the wallets is another thing you should be cautious of. It is better to set and use a wallet that to hopping here and their with private keys or mnemonic phrases.

MATIC is giving a good competition to BSC. With all people into MATIC and BSC, ETH is being falling in shadow but still the transaction fees are unbearably high. Don't know whether the current hype for MATIC platforms would last or not, people are jumping all in into matic platform as rewards there are higher during this initial phase. I was too ignoring that platform but now I realized that I can't afford to miss it. I maybe late but it's always better to put your coins in multiple platforms than one.

One of them would work for you. A few of them are dex.

There are a great number of things to look when you are buying a coin and partnerships and roadmaps are two of them.
Partnerships are specially useful when you are trading coins for short period/on technical analysis while roadmaps are more important to fundamental traders.
A good partnership can boost the price for a short period and if you are quick enough, you'd get a good profit in a few days. Study of roadmap shows that how well the project is performing and what events they have passed through and what not. And if there's any significant event they are going through or missing soon.

The only pros of hardware wallet I can think of is security against some risks.
With multiple of services that provide multi level security and 2 or more keys to use the coins, the need for hardware wallet are decreasing. And if you don't have a backup of your coins in hardware wallet, a physical damage could lock you out of your coins. And creating an online backup would again make the use worthless. You can have multiple copies in hardware but they would be difficult to maintain and keep secure in multiple places.

Dubai is a place seeking to diversify its economy. They have tried a lot to attract expats and other wealthy people to live and work from Dubai. They had spent so much on real estate but the occupancy are quite low, that's why they are trying to attract rich people like crypto trades who could live and work from Dubai.
