1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Avalanche: Undervalued? on: January 09, 2026, 04:11:49 PM
The problem isn't about how scalable and fast it is, we all know avalanche is fast but other blockchain like solana is fast too that average joe don't really notice the difference.
On top of that here's brief comparison of the defillama data between 3 chains : ethereum, solana, and avalanche.

It's obvious that avalanche is falling behind with chain rev of $8000 in 24h compared to other and it's falling behind on other things too such as dex volume and so on.

Well, Solana is not as decentralized as Avalanche. Sure it's fast and cheap to use, but it's nothing but an utterly-centralized Blockchain network. Same as Binance Chain. Avalanche proves to be a viable alternative to Ethereum as it focuses on decentralization with a unique approach to scalability. It might even perform better than chains with "horizontal scaling" (APTOS and SUI). Who knows?

I haven't seen real world tests of Avalanche's TPS, but I bet it will outmatch its competitors. The 3-tier approach to scalability is genius because it divides the network into different layers without compromising on decentralization and censorship-resistance. AVAX is undervalued, imho. We'll see what happens in the long run.
From a technological perspective, Avalanche is a solid Layer 1. I couldn't fine any reliable source but data from https://chainspect.app/dashboard shows that "horizontal scaling" on APTOS and SUI gives much better performance than parallel execution on Avalanche.

Economically, Avalanche has struggled to establish a sustainable ecosystem despite pivoting across DeFi, gaming, and RWA. In contrast, Solana has successfully built a strong economy, with the help of meme. IMO, AVAX isn't undervalued. With Vitalik recently reaffirmed the role of Layer 2s in scaling Ethereum, Avalanche risks falling even further behind many other strong Layer 1s and Layer 2s.

It appears that after 2 days on the attack on Venezuela and the extraction of Maduro, the market were very much unconcerned hehehe. Does this imply that future attacks from America will also be not concerning to the market anymore?
Yes, I think market won't care anymore. The US will only choose some small and sure-to-win target like Cuba. Trump is smart enough to avoid a long lasting battle with a powerful or complicated target like Ukraine. If have to, he will likely take part in like a third party, in the role of a supportive country. Meanwhile, he has a lot to do with the US economy (inflation, tariffs...).
Bitcoin has gone through a lot of more serious FUDs and wars, too. So if it's not WW3, then I believe crypto market won't likely be much impacted by some flash or small attacks.

I'm not gonna show my poor result but I'm just wondering if the correct name in the second option is Hal Finney instead of Hank Finney?. It' weird to see Hank Finney though. Hal Finney will make the question a little bit trickier, I think.

People afraid of posting anything on WhatsApp in favor of the USA, afraid of the regime and those who are left here.
I saw some video about people celebrating on Twitter and didn't believe that it was real. Is Maduro a failure? Do Venezuelan people hate him that much?
Nowadays, I don't believe much in what media says. Back in the day, media also said Gaddafi was a dictator but turned out he treated his people so well. He's just "dictator" because his country has a lot of oil.

“There is no such thing as a free lunch” - the quote is so damn true. Nowadays, Windows with full license is pre-installed in every new computer and with only a few bucks extra, one can buy a shared Office 365 Family slot (~ USD 15/person/year). I don't get it why people still use KMSAuto and then fall for malware.

Aside from Microsoft softwares, I remember that Adobe softwares also gather a lot of activation tools. OP's story is also a big warning for those who like using non-licensed tools.

For example in the crypto market I learned very quickly that the altcoin market is too volatile and lacks long term potential. If I become a bag-holder holding some altcoins hoping they go up, I will continue to watch my capital melt away. The correct approach that I found working is to only trade them short term while they are being pumped and get out and get far away when the dump begins.
I went deep into this lesson in 2025. Like many others, I thought 2025 would be a booming year, similar to 2021. But in reality, there was no altcoin season at all. My capital shrank multiple times, and I’ve now realized that the investing method that suits me best is DCA-ing into bitcoin and spend time focusing on my 9 to 5 profession.

I used to dream of 5x or 10x returns in a short period of time, but now I’d be genuinely happy with a 20–30% profit. 2025 has been a strangely tough year.

People are still having issues with the non replacable batteries not charging and not everyone has had success with getting their units replaced.
Fact is you don't need to charge Keystone 3's battery, it will drain out after a couple of days. Plug it in a USB cable when you use it instead. Keystone 3's batteries are a joke.

Hey Guys
pancakeswap token is mintable . Do you think such feature let to increasing value?
Whenever creator decides can create much tokens and sellem
CAKE is not a mintable token. It's an inflationary token, meaning that its total supply increases through time via a mechanism called "block emission". This feature doesn't help increase token value. In fact, it reduces.

Unlike USDT or DAI, creator can't print more CAKE tokens and sell them.

Bitmart exchange hacked
"The latest centralized exchange hack may be among the most devastating to date as Bitmart has lost $196 million in various cryptocurrencies.

A tweet from security analysis firm Peckshield first called attention to the alleged hack Saturday night. One of Bitmart’s addresses currently shows steady outflows of entire token balances, some worth tens of millions of dollars, to an address currently labeled by Etherscan as the “Bitmart Hacker”"

Em làm Bounty cách đây 4 năm thời c̣n sinh viên, làm đc con nào bán con đó. Hiện tại check lại giá mấy con ḿnh bán th́ có vài con x10000. Hơi buồn tí @@
Bạn nên t́m hiểu thêm về testnet. So sánh giữa bounty với testnet th́ ḿnh nghĩ testnet nhàn hạ và đỡ tốn thời gian hơn. Mỗi ngày có cả trăm dự án ra đời nên khỏi lo thiếu kèo testnet, chỉ sợ không đủ sức Grin.

pNetwork - a cross-chain DeFi platform was attacked on Binance Smart Chain, losing 277 bitcoin (over USD 12 million).


Right after the attack, pNetwork offered a clean bounty of USD 1.5 million if the hacker returned the funds.

18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would like to invest more than $20k. Which altcoin project? on: September 17, 2021, 02:40:57 PM
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Avalanche(AVAX)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Cosmos (ATOM)
  • IOTA (MIOTA)

Go for DOT. DOT's doppelganger network - Kusama is growing well and fast. Those projects that launched on Kusama will launch their Polkadot versions soon. That's when the cash flow pours into DOT. ATOM is also a decent option, its ecosystem is growing fast too. Forget about Litecoin. It a shitcoin with the latest fake partnership with Walmart. AVAX is a good project but its time was in August. Cardano is just a hype and IOTA is just above average.

You know what, there's a project that all of the above projects and their ecosystems have to partner with, it's Chainlink (LINK). LINK involves with every aspect of DeFi. So future investment must be LINK.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some Crosschain Bridges on: September 17, 2021, 10:32:04 AM
There are a lot more bridges. If a blockchain wants to expand its DeFi ecosystem, a bridge is a must to attract money flow from other blockchains. There are two types: in-house bridge and 3rd party bridge.

In-house bridges:
Binance Bridge
Supported: BSC, ETH, TRX, OMNI (suspended)
Link: https://www.binance.org/en/bridge

Terra Bridge
Supported: Terra, ETH, BSC, Harmony (ONE)
Link: https://bridge.terra.money/

Horizon Bridge
Supported: Harmony (ONE), ETH, BSC (BUSD only)
Link: https://bridge.harmony.one/

Avalanche Bridge (Beta)
Supported: ETH, AVAX
Link: https://bridge.avax.network/

Third party bridges (high risk):
Multichange.xyz
Supported: ETH, BSC, FTM, HECO, Polygon, xDAI, Fusion
Link: https://multichain.xyz/

Anyswap
Supported: ETH, BSC, FTM, Fusion
Link: https://anyswap.exchange/

Debridge (developing)
Supported: ETH, BSC, Polygon, HECO, Arbitrum

20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cross-chain future? Why are cross-chain projects growing? on: September 11, 2021, 10:20:42 AM
[...]
The title is about cross-chain but the whole content is about shilling NEAR. There's nothing new with Aurora EVM. Simply put, it's just a bridge that allows you to migrate your tokens from ETH blockchain to NEAR blockchain. It can't even compare with Solana's "Wormhole". Wormhole connects Sonala vs a lot of blockchain, including BSC, ETH and LUNA. That's not to mention LUNA's Terra Bridge which connects LUNA vs ETH, BSC and ONE.

In short, bridges like Aurora EVM are just a short cut to attract money flow from this blockchain (usually ETH) to that blockchain. When people no longer find benefit, they will withdraw their money from blockchains that were bridged into. So far there isn't any bridge that can connect all blockchains out there together. Any project that can do it, it's the ultimate cross-chain.
