| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 10:16 PM PDT Looks like Robinhood couldn't handle the heat for more than 1 day into their 3 day AMA and deleted their AMA. They just removed their post after ignoring all questions that didn't ask about a crypto wallet, and even then, they refused to give a date as to when they would release a wallet. It's so weird that they would make an AMA if they weren't ready to answer the tough questions. All it did was further confirm that using their exchange is a terrible idea, especially after the GME fiasco Stay far far away from Robinhood and remember: not your keys, not your Crypto.

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 05:54 PM PDT Honestly, it's an absolute dream to own an entire bitcoin now. I remember when you can grab them at $4k last year, but I had never seen this bull run coming before. Whatever, the last best time to buy was yesterday, the next best time is today. But ETH just has so much room to grow. It runs most of the DeFi ecosystem and NFTs, getting network upgrades like EIP 1559 making it less inflationary, ETH 2.0 making the blockchain green and drastically reduce fees, and tons of institutional adoptions alongside bitcoin. There's just so many bullish things in store for ETH long term. ETH would have a mcap of $6T if $51.9k. But watch; the global stock market has total value $95T. So it's realistic. Consider that fiat is heavily depreciating too. Also mention BTC would only have to 6x to get to $6T. Will it take over BTC as market cap? Very unlikely. Will it decrown BTC as king of crypto? Hell no. But ETH will probably be just as sought after and extremely high valued just like BTC is today. I'm very bullish on it. [link] [comments]  | ||
| I made a joke token to show my friends how easy it is: Communism Coin Posted: 27 Apr 2021 09:50 PM PDT I even made a website for it: CommunismCoin.com It is surprisingly easy to deploy a token and add it to an exchange. People and bots were even FOMOing in before I renounced ownership of the contract and locked the LP tokens and could have lost all their investment. It went from a $5k cap to $150k in about an hour before dumping. I didn't sell because this shitcoin is dear to my heart now, but could have made a decent profit. We are truly in a bubble.

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 05:19 PM PDT What is even more amazing for Ethereum is that It has reached ATH of $2,716 (at Binance) Ethereum also gained a considerable amount of value compared to BTC trading for 0.04879 BTC / ETH at peak Congratulations to all Ethereum holders! [link] [comments]  | ||

| ETH crosses over $2700 USD for first time Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:48 PM PDT Things are looking good for Ethereum. Gas prices are coming down (currently 42 gwei for a <5min transaction) and ETH 2.0 get's nearer and nearer. Have to say, pretty wild to think that it was $100 not too long ago and people were very skeptical on it again with all the ETH killers starting to pop up. Do you think that ETH should be considered an 'alt' still, or has it now cemented itself as something more? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Freindly reminder that nobody knows anything Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:00 AM PDT I been in this game since 2017 and the shitstorm that followed. Trust me when I say nobody knows anything in this space. Its easy to see a bunch of confirmation bias and an echo chamber of feel good sentiment about the future but nobody knows what the hell they are talking about. Don't let FOMO take over. Everyone is just taking a shot in the dark with their predictions. Stay safe. Thats all. [link] [comments]  | ||

| And after a long 3,5 years in crypto... I got hacked and my funds were stolen Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:17 AM PDT I have seen these kind of posts many times myself. "This wouldn't happen to me, I'm very careful in the crypto world" Well, I'm here to tell you that if my funds get stolen this easily, yours can too. Before we start: I haven't given anyone any kind of info. I have been in crypto long enough to know its the wild west of the finance world. I've done my research, I like trading, I like watching people make gains and or be passionate about crypto. Normally you would know where you messed up but this time....I don't even know how it happened.... One day Im sitting there waiting for my XLM orders to get filled and Im getting this random email that someone from SWEDEN??? ( I live close to germany ) was accessing my account. Immediately I went onto my email to stop anything from happening but it was too late already ( I later found out ). He must have had access to my email as well because you cannot log into bittrex without an email verification code. But that makes it worse because my email is 2FA'd with my phone number so how could he have accessed my account(s)? It's just mind blowing honestly. I'm a very ' safe ' kinda guy and I don't do random stuff online which could endanger my funds. Go back to my early posts you'll find me asking questions on different subs about crypto and other related things to it. Sooo.. About $1.5k got stolen from my bittrex account Ikr? WHO EVEN USES BITTREX LMAO Well I did because I never had problems with them. When my account got verified in 2017 the exchange itsself was ok but the customer service was horrible. They have low liquidity but the exchange works fine. Anyways the customer service played a big role in this. I didnt even know I was hacked until I got my account back today and saw that the swedish thief ( probably VPN ) stole it that day ( end of March ).I then lost access to my account ( I froze my account that day ) had to start KYC all over again which took more than a month only to find out some random guy stole 0.03 BTC. I can't believe that after 3,5 years this garbage exchange still hasn't improved its customer service. I thought they would have had it fixed by now since there is so much competition... Nope, their service is garbage I know the ins and outs of this sub so the first comment will be, always keep your funds in cold storage. No. You can't do that if you are a trader like me. You have to have some $ on the exchange to be able to trade. My advice: get off Bittrex asap, if you haven't already. ( Like, right now go withdraw your funds ). Nothing else to say, not even that mad [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:34 PM PDT Off topic but still worth mentioning: To this day, Turkey denies its role in the Seyfo Genocide of 1915 that involved defenseless Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek women and children/infants. Over 2 million combined people perished, and unspeakable (gender-specific) crimes were committed against these people. Just last year, Turkish President Erdogan called survivors of this genocide and their descendants "leftovers of the sword." A few days ago, Biden took the position of formally acknowledging the genocide. Erdogan and the government of Turkey pleaded with him to reconsider his statement by denying the genocide even happened in the first place. First they ban bitcoin payments, now they deny genocide. Truly a trashy government if I've ever seen one. Edit: Turkey didn't totally ban crypto. They just banned businesses from accepting it as a form of payment. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Was hodling BTC till I could pay off the mortgage... now I dont want to pay it off... Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:40 AM PDT Hi, First time posting here, be gentle So I have been in since ~2014, Cost Price Averaging monthly since then. Some months I missed due to real life, some I bought more when it was crashing I had held through the crashes, traded some others on the side and keep about 40% of my fun pot in random cryptos (Ethereum, Litecoin, Cosmos, Tezos, Ankr, Celo, Origin, Enjin, Siacoin, Tron, Orchin). I started by saying I would sell when it was enough to pay off my Mortgage, which seemed crazy, then when I got close I decided to keep it till selling half would pay off my mortgage (never sell it all) I passed that in March... and I cant sell, im paying 1.79% on my mortgage, I cant even calculate what Im earning in crypo in the same time, surely prudence says clear it but I cant! Advice! (edit)Frustratingly im getting a 50:50 split here! I think I may have asked alcoholics if I should have a drink! (edit x2) The bots started sliding into my DM's as soon as the post hit 25 upvotes, classic Reddit cryptoland [link] [comments]  | ||
| Unpopular opinion: These price prediction polls are just as bad as Meme Weekends Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:14 AM PDT Idk if its just me - but does anyone else feel the same? These polls add nothing of value to the discussion but are still taking up the entire front page in place of quality content - I'm getting serious flashbacks to when Moon farmers kept spamming memes the sub every weekend with the same recycled memes. Maybe these things could belong to a different sub and just be linked through a single post instead? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Take a moment and make your MetaMask wallet a lot safer. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 09:51 AM PDT

| Dear Crypto Enthusiasts, delete your clipboard history once in a while Posted: 27 Apr 2021 08:33 AM PDT By default Windows 10 saves the last 25 items you copied. These items might include wallet adresses you don't want anybody to know, like your metamask wallet address for example. So do yourself a favor and delete these items from your clipboard history after every time you copied and pasted a wallet address. To do this press Windows+V and it shows you all the entries where you can manually delete items. If you don't want Windows to save your clipboard history, turn it off completely in the settings. Just go to Windows settings -> System - Clipboard and turn it off there. A lot of people don't know of this vulnerability and it seems to be easy to read out for hackers. [link] [comments]  | ||
| 'Profit isn't a dirty word': a 3 step strategy for beginners who aren't making money Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:06 PM PDT Disclaimer: No, I'm not about to shill you a scam coin or point you towards some shady website where you deposit your tokens for a 5% daily return. What I'm about to "reveal" has probably been discussed 1000's of times on here, but maybe not condensed into a single post. The only caveat to what I'm about to write is that it only works in a bull market, which - lucky you - we're in the middle of. I'm also aware that the below goes against the 'hodl' and 'diamond hands' memes. Before you you hit that downvote arrow, there are many schools of thought in trading, this is just one. Also, of the 4 coins I'm mentioning specifically, I only own one (Holo), so this isn't me trying to shill you my portfolio. Intro: I've seen a lot of posts here in the past about people not making money. People, making money right now is ridiculously easy. Read on for the simple 3 step plan. Step 1: Find a coin in the top 100 that hasn't pumped in a while All coins go through the same cycle: pump, correction, accumulation, pump. At least that's true for established coins which is why we're sticking to the top 100. If you think there's not enough profit in the top 100, take a look at what Matic just did (plenty of other examples like One, Solana, Fantom, XRP, etc.). The cycle can take weeks or months to repeat. What you need to do is not buy the pump. I know, hard to resist, but the problem is that you're probably going to end buying the top, or close to it. And as I wrote above, after the top comes the correction, which means price goes down. We also don't want to buy when the price is still going down, we want to buy at the point where a trend reversal is likely. On a daily chart, what you're looking for is sharp peak on the left, followed by descending (red) candles on the right, eventually evening out as the area of support is found (that's your entry). Two perfect examples from the last two days of the above would be Fantom and Holo. They pumped weeks ago, have since dropped significantly in price and pulled a very nice reversal in the past two days (had you bought Fantom's Sunday dip, you'd be up almost 50% now, almost 40% for Holo). If you're wondering, KSM might be one to watch out for here in the near future (not financial advice). Sidenote: probably preferable to buying into a position all at once would be daily cost averaging. This guide is already too long, so just google DCA, plenty of good youtube videos explaining the process. Step 2: Hodl I'm intentionally not including any tips on how to find good entries with TA (technical analysis) since this is obviously geared towards beginners. Thus, the chances of you timing this perfectly are slim, and you're probably going to have to wait a few days or even weeks for anything to happen. Throughout the hold period, the price will fluctuate and may even drop further. But here's the thing in a bull market: all top 100 coins will pump, it's a matter of when, not if (liquidity flows from coins that just pumped into coins that haven't and once enough volume is built, price breaks out into price discovery, ie the pump). If a coin with extremely flawed fundamentals like Tron can pump into the top 20, so can anything else in the top 100. Step 3: Realistic profit targets You could of course just hodl the same coins throughout the bull market. If you picked good ones, you'd probably be better off doing this actually. However, I'm aware that we're all ADD affected male apes in our primes, so you don't want to be in just a few coins, you want try a lot of coins. Let's use Fantom as an example. Let's say you paid attention on Sunday and bought the dip at $0.35 (you were a little late, but still a decent entry). Realistic profit targets depend on your own level of risk aversion, suffice to say, 200% or even 100% aren't realistic profit targets. It's most likely going to take more than one pump to get there, which means potentially months of hodling Let's use something like 25%, 30% and 40% as an example (and no, these numbers aren't set in stone, they are just an example. Like I said, your targets will depend in your own risk tolerance). These would be set up in a series of sell orders: Sell order 1 (50% of your bag): $0.437 Sell order 2 (30% of your bag): $0.455 Sell order 3 (20% of your bag): $0.490 Sell order 1 is the most likely scenario to hit, so you'll be selling half your bag here. If the coin keeps pumping, you'll sell another 30% at +30% price movement and you'll leave 20% for a 'moonshot' +40% price increase. Watch the charts closely while your coin is pumping: if it starts to look like you're not going to hit your upper targets, you can sell on the way down, still making profit. Keep in mind too that pumps can last for days. It's up to you and only you to identify the pattern and then stick to your belief. As a general rule though, don't be greedy: any profit is still better than no profit. That's literally it. At this stage, you'll have turned your initial investment of $100 into $130. If that doesn't sound 'moonish' enough for you, please show me another investment in which you can make 30% profit in a matter of days or 1 or 2 weeks. It doesn't exist outside of a crypto bullmarket. At this stage, you just repeat the process. Yes, it's a grind, but this is going to take work and that shouldn't be a surprise. Conclusion: I think the reason why so many beginners end up losing money is because: - They buy into pumps when they should be buying lows - They overtrade, meaning they jump from coin to coin way too frequently and without any sort of strategy - They use leverage (if you're on twitter, asking your favourite influencer for entries, sell targets, stop losses, or how much leverage to use, you're not anywhere close to being ready for leverage) - They buy scam coins in the top 2000 thinking that's their path to Lambo Valhalla The guide I wrote works, and in terms of difficulty, it's probably 1 or 2 steps above just hodling a coin for the entirety of the bullrun. The one thing you need to do is take emotion out of the equation. When you're seeing a coin pump and you get that FOMO feeling, yep, that's 100% emotion. Realize there are hundreds of legitimate projects in crypto, and on any given day, some of those will be mooning. You can't be in every coin, and neither can anyone else. Be happy for other people's gains and practice patience waiting for yours, because it's a matter of when, not if. Cheers [link] [comments]  | ||

| No, Bitcoin is not private, anonymous or untraceable. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 09:00 PM PDT There is a common misconception, that I thought I'd clear up. It is that Bitcoin is untraceable, private and anonymous. Bitcoin is very much traceable. I can easily track that $10 I used to pay for pizza, for as long as I want to. It may be a slight pain in the ass, but there are blockchain explorers that you can use to track BTC as is goes from wallet to wallet. Bitcoin is "anonymous". You don't not have a name or location linked to you as long as you do not send the crypto to a centralized exchange such as Gemini, Coinbase ect, or basically any KYC exchange. Because from that moment, all transactions that can be tied to your wallet(s) can be tied back to you. If I sent 1 btc to Gemini, they can see the whole path of where that BTC came from, and where it went. And so can anyone who has the wallet address. So the government and law enforcement, can track you. Also let's say, you pay someone .01 BTC for some tires, they can then check your wallet balance, and come and rob you (in person). So if you want privacy, use XMR (for no one to be able to trace you) or ZEC for only LE to be able to track you. Bitcoin is only as private as you make it. You can stay under the radar and anonymous if you don't send it to KYC exchanges. And not spend that crypto/tell people your wallet address. TLDR; Bitcoin not totally private and very traceable. If you want privacy get XMR, ZEC. If your gonna commit a crime use XMR, on second thoughts, just don't commit the crime ;) [link] [comments]  |
