It will be nice if every cryptocurrency invest will have this thought but it the opposite because it not easy for a common man who barely find a solution to his need. The best way not to say hungry and also not to sell all holding is to set a certain ratio that will sent to a watch only wallet which will be use for long term investment.

Agreed about the centralization of staking method was the major reason why a true crypto enthusiast will choose holding over staking but Sovryn seems to offer to stake in a decentralized way though I haven't tried it out.

Thats because every great opportunity comes with a great task.

It will be hard only if people who are not financially buoyant don't think outside the box, I could remember when uniswap did their airdrop a lot of people sold their token and I am sure those that choose to stake theirs on Uniswap or hold it are happy now.

By learning new things, offer service, and get pay in BTC etc

No, it goes down with the level of their knowledge and amount they can afford to lose but it is never a good idea for crypto investors or traders to copy the amount someone invested. However, small or big capital is not important and what's important is making a profitable investment.

If you're a native Stellar wallet existing user or older, there's a free AQUA token airdrop going on the right which you can sell or hold if you want.


Aqua is a new token created on the Stellar network and it was said to be designed to supercharge trading on Stellar, bring more liquidity and give control over how it is distributed across various market pairs.
I will advise you to check the email you use to register the wallet and if you receive an email showing the screenshot below it means they have sent you your free airdrop but you need to claim. Login Stellar wallet go to pending transactions select the first sent airdrop token and claim it but if you don't know how to do this, click email link sent to you but I will advise you to log in to your wallet through the direct link before clicking on the airdrop claim link in your email just to be more careful.


If you don't have enough XLM in the wallet you cant claim the airdrop token and the airdrop has 5 phase which was scheduled from the 16 of August, 16 of September till Jan 2022 but you need to make sure you claim this airdrop token before the expiry date.


If you don't get the airdrop, go to this https://aqua.network/ and check if your Stellar wallet is legible for other Aqua airdrop.


Note: I don't know if every Stellar wallet is applicable to this token but I got it through my native Stellar wallet used since 2019.

Just as the saying "crypto never sleeps" which is the common slogan of cryptocurrency day trading and if you're used to how they operate or know someone thats do it, you'll know that they spent almost all their time checking the chart and that's the reason why a crypto traders correction centre was established in the UK.


To my understanding, the use of mobile phones happened when the trader was out as said by mk4 but they use a bot to execute 75% of their trading when on mobile or does some few update.

I like trying new things and I'm the type of person that doesn't want any window of opportunity to slide me by but the story of people like Erik Finans, the Norwegian man that invested $27 in Bitcoin which later turned to thousands of US dollars are what motivated to start to invest some penny into crypto.

This an interesting news and all thanks to El Salvador (which open the eyes of the federal government that Bitcoin is not a threat)and the IMF Boss which advised the government to create their own CBDC because crypto is the future of currency and payment.
If countries like Argentine that had hyper-inflation use Bitcoin and their upcoming CBDC as legal tender it will boost their economy.

Blockchain has the potentials to complement the traditional banking system, but its been replacement is what I don't see happening due to the centralization of the government and blockchain will also hinder them from making an illicit transaction of moving of funds just like they do with fiat currency.
It is too early to say what will happen within the traditional banking system but I am sure they will have their important document/file saved on the blockchain.

More glorious days are ahead of crypto currency!

The market tp experience pump in price after selling holdings happened to every investor at some point but since it happens to you most of the time I think you're not checking the market condition before you sell is the reason for this and I don't think you should be bothered by it though since you don't sell at a lost price.

The calculation the OP did remind me of what read on Yahoo finance which says "Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the decade"

This is the fact novice crypto investors don't understand about this market which also makes me ask myself how did people make the lost they complain about when they can make a profit just by holding their coin when the market is dumped till when it will be green.

Funny enough, I have also used this to predict the next momentum of the Bitcoin market but to get the maximum result I will advise including the level of mining difficulty and some news that will influence the market.

If good to switch to altcoin as payment cryptocurrency if we're to think of the benefits of Bitcoin in the future but if it is because of the transaction fee, Bitcoin tx fees are still fair these days.
However, all you guys said is off-topic cause what the OP asks is why we use BTC if the price was to go up which I believe if we want BTC to be mainstream of payment people also need to use it for payment.

Trading is game which some people in other words says it gamble though it a business but if you check the level of risk, the fundamental facet of it, it somehow correlated with gambling and this is the reason why some people consider it to be like another form of gambling.

Trading does not depend on money or the value of crypto deposited but it only depends on the level of knowledge with patience.

It is certain that those that participated in the red trust campaign as said by the OP do it with their throw away account cause no one will dare join a scam site campaign just for some token and have his account tagged.

I look deep into this issue and I believe 1xbit successful having their signature campaign on this forum was the reason why Betking joins the train and as said by the high ranked members, this forum doesn't moderate scam so there's nothing we can do about than to make newbies aware of the penalty that involved in joining this kind of project campaign.

Bitcoin was not created to serve as a universal currency, it was created as an alternative currency that will make people's financial freedom.

It is not possible for any government to track all Bitcoin transactions and ban every anonymous wallet, if they do a new alternative will always be introduced and I once read that the ETH dev is also planning to create a tumbling service.


Ask yourself who's going to KYC Bitcoin when it is decentralized? They can only KYC/AML exchange and others payment sites. DeFi coins are the future of finance and they don't hype or hope before they can stay true to their mission.

I think Stonberg should have said the crypto market has passed the stage of early adoption, not cryptocurrency because there is some innovative crypto project which is yet to be introduced or created.

If we calculate the total number of the world population and the number of crypto users/investors, I don't think we should say crypto has gone mainstream. Besides, there's no genuine plan or wallet created for the elders and blind crypto enthusiast

It is good that countries like El Salvador make this decision.

Thanks to the pandemic that shows the world the potentials of Bitcoin and Kiyosaki for wooing institutions that crypto is the best alternative.

People use their Bitcoin in different ways, some see it as an asset more than using it as a currency but the general consensus of bitcoin is never the price to always appreciate and the last time I check no currency, asset or commodity whatsoever will ever surge in price. Besides, the volatile nature of the market won't allow that.

I did some search about what you said and there was a time when some group worked on getting Bitcoin's original white paper written in Braille for blind people and there's also a time when an icywallet was developed. The wallet was said to make Bitcoin accessible to the elder and blind Bitcoin enthusiast but the project seems died now.
I think crypto Dev need to pay more attention in creating a speech to text wallet that will make the elders and blind people use crypto.

What happens is that Pete makes the mistake of choosing the wrong derivation path of BIP44 which is non-bech addresses but he supposes to choose BIP84 instead of BIP44.

Yes, he can. He just need to start over again by creating a new wallet using the same private keys by selecting the right derivation path
