The problem of the dex is less attractive compared with the CEX. We can make a comparison between CEX and DEX. CEx was also offering various staking feature, launch pool, IEO launchpad and various things while dex was only offering some main features that also owned by the CEX. DEX needs a lot of improvements before it will take over the CEX's position.

No kidding. The price of BTC although seems like a rollercoaster if you look at different perspective for example long term investor it always goes up. $20K? that's piece of cake if the trand of going up like this persist for another decade. I don't think we gonna have some extreme price rally like it was in 2017 but if it's steady and UP it's already more than enough.

Every update on blockchain more specifically ethereum as I see kinda slow and need to undergo such complicated process for example ETH 2.0 need to reach some treshold of eth staked before launched and many more. I'm maybe expecting ETH fee to be solved around the start of next year. Even ETH2.0 is not gonna come anytime soon its frustating.

SoftBank CEO statement holds the truth. Not all of people used to Internet. and Bitcoin, crypto or blockchain is indeed hard to understand for people that are not really into tech or touch the internet. Heck, even most of people still misunderstood crypto and bitcoin while thinking that these two word have the same meaning.

Also some old people still think that everything in the internet dont really exist whatsoever and thus useless or worthless so there's that.

I think if we expect crypto to widely adopted by the masses the meaing of cryptocurrency should be further simplified so that people could grasp what it is and what's the difference between crypto and bitcoin.

That's really rare case usually if they don't have telegram they would set up discord for communication and they don't have any of them open up for people to discuss then people should be alarmed whether that project is real or not.
I know it too well that telegram have so much scammers and phishing bot but usually a good project still need a way to communicate with their benefactor and telegram is the only good choice since most of
crypto enthusiast uses it. Using telegram doesn't mean them automatically become bad.

That's right on the point. So much of these so called signal group or a specific project group full of scheming scumbags trying to rob innocent people who knows nothing. Sadly it's telegram where most of them are under the radar so they could just did what they usually do which is scamming without even worrying about getting banned by the platform.

If there's newbie out there trying to make fortune don't ever follow an advice from telegram like ever because that's just spelling your own doom.

If you talking about big gap in $ (price in dollar) then it's because so many factor mainly total circulating coin and demands. When we're talking about gap here it should be the market capitalization since it's vital aspect to consider not the price of a coin.

There's many altcoins that has higher price than bitcoin in the past but they usually have very low circulating coin and it's about few thousands which also means small market cap.

However, if what you mean is market cap it's just normal since market cap of bitcoin correlate with its dominance in the market and bitcoin is the first crypto like ever and considered equal to gold.

If you maybe are talking about alts that are paired with BTC showing all red or decreasing its value to BTC it's because the price of BTC to USD recently is increasing quite significantly. If you trying to invest into these coins that are paired with BTC try to check whether the value of the alts (to BTC) equal to the value if exchanged to USDT.

The most important and should be their very concern is the security aspect. They are managing money and if their security is not that good then be ready for another hacking streak for these defi projects. Really, if a project that manages money couldn't do any better regarding their security they should just close down their defi project. It's crazy to think these people have the guts to create project even without any real experience regarding security. They should atleast consult to a security expert first because their system although forked many times still kinda garbage anyway.

When I looked up in google it said that they gonna use blockchain and it's centralized which means totally in control by the government some sort of modified blockchain (wonder why this is still called blockchain at this point) but it's most definitely gonna be yet another stablecoin but released by the government themselves.
I dont expect much from it tho because it does not repersent the real cryptocurrency at all. It's just another stablecoin but a lot more centralized than it ever was.

Crypto really did perform very well, more specifically btc just see the graph for the last decade it's already up for thousands percent far surpasses many of our expectation while other alts are holding well aswell amidst the pandemic.
I guess it's mainly because of pandemic forcing people to use internet more often they might come across or gets exposed to crypto. I would say that seeing the price trend for these last few years there's just no stopping for the whole crypto market to keep on rising and rising slowly. If the rumour going around about government creating their own stablecoin turns out to be true then be ready for the price rollercoaster.

Yearn finance now yearn global. Bruh, nothing good comes out from a clone so next time you see this kind of project with almost the same name you just better stay away from it. They are just money making machine nothing more and nothing less. You better choose a better project not because it has the name that resemble an already existing project but because the developer team are hardworking people that put their effort into the project not some half assed project like this LOL.

Paypal is by any means NOT promoting cryptocurrency at all they just going to reap the benefit of adopting cryptocurrency as well as increasing their user base coverage to crypto community which holds tremendous amount of people and it's just happen that cryptocurrency got more exposed to the world because of the news about the adoption by paypal. Not that I'm skeptical but paypal will more likely to do just that, being a payment processor is always their goal and I don't think they ever gonna be a crypto exchange. Big corporation like paypal usually restrained with complicated regulation which is why they gonna think twice before switching over to provide exchange service. I mean, if they really want to create an exchange for crypto they better creates different company for that under paypal umbrella right?

If the card is actually the only one cool feature that makes it stand out than other exchange then it might be a problem tbh. as you said the card is cool feature but in the past many crypto card provider just got bankrupt when the issuer of the card gone. Not to mention that any most of the popular exchange right now already has this crypto card feature ready to go and is reliable. New exchange should work on their reputation ,trust and reliability first honestly.

Volatility in my opinion heavily depends on how large the market volume itself. You can have a crypto with 90% of holders if the volume in the market is kinda low it's vulnerable to market manipulation or even huge pump and dump. Traders themselves are not the major factor that make the price swing but other factor like demands, rumour that could affect selling or buying activities and many more. But, the highest the market volume, the more money needed to make market swing. It's not like the amount of traders and holders not giving any impact at all to the market its just not really the major factor playing here.

They launching amid economic and financial turmoil maybe just trying to open new source of income but if the digital currency turns out only for their citizen then I might be wrong here. However, launching or not launching digital currency not gonna do much to the economy so might aswell launch it and attracts the attention maybe there might be way to solve the problem rising within their country. It's not like once you launched digital currency you gonna get your country problem anyway and these kind of digital currency launched by government usually in full control by the govenrment aswell.

But atleast it's gonna show the true worth of these defi tokens. Usually the useful defi project ones are not gonna be affected that much but the shitty ones gonna have a hard time but i agree with your statement that price decrease in most of defi tokens doesn't mean the hype dies out it's just bitcoin have significant effect to its surround altcoins that it's obvious its gonna affect many of projects including defi ones ofcourse.
However once bitcoin has reached its peak maybe these defi project gonna start rising, even as of now when bitcoin kinda stagnant some of defi projects already regaining momentum

No doubt about the foundation but considering how this cryptocurrency poorly handle traffics which I doubt it's gonna be skyrocketing its price again unless it solved that problem. Ethereum really did well this year though more than most of us expected.

The situation is quite the opposite beause right now BTC is really seizing the market dominance now. price increase about 7% within 7 days for a coin that costs $16K that just big price up there.

I know right? being anonymous has its own disadvantages which is making people less interested into their project and any sane people would think twice before doing any investment if they don't even know who's behind that project.

Tbh, if many people still invest to an anonymous project which would easily become exit scam then I guess there's nothing could save them.

I think it still stands a chance against our traditional financial system just if any cryptocurrency could only take some portion of the world that's gonna use crypto instead of our traditional financial system.
Not everyone willingly to switching from something they used to a new system like crypto or the whole blockchain so only minor of them gonna do the switch.
