    I bought $100 worth of IOTA in 2018. Today it is worth $106.57. Ask Me Anything.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:58 AM PDT

    The title is half joking, half truth.

    Looking down the top 100, it may seem like you can just buy anything to 10x your investment, but this is a bull year, and that's survivorship bias in the coin rankings. (You're not seeing the 50 that fell out of the top 100.)

    Usually when you're feeling fomo around a growing project, you're already too late for x10 gains. If you're following hype pumps, you need to recognize when you're early and when you're late. That's not easy.

    The better strategy is to dollar-cost-average into sturdy, longterm projects. Even a coin that "only" does x2 every year or two can be one of the best investments of your entire life—if it lasts.

    Speaking of which, if I had DCA'd into IOTA all bear market instead of just buying during the pump, I'd be up almost x4 by now...

    I bought Bitcoin in February at $48,000 and its still at $48,000. WTF. I thought this was a volatile market

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:10 AM PDT

    Earlier this year I sold all my other investments to go all in on Bitcoin because I was told this is a volatile market and I won't have to wait long for good returns. I just looked at the price and its still at $48,000. That thing hasn't moved in over 6 months. Has Satoshi stopped the Bitcoin servers? WTF is going on? I guess I will go back to the stock market where we get real volatility. I once made +2.4% in the stock market in just 5 months, we sometimes get -5% drops but I guess the stock market isn't for the light hearted. Oh well what would you kids know about volatility

    Don't Fomo In Solana

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 09:49 PM PDT

    Everyone saying you to buy Solana now, you are still early just wanna pump there bags

    It's much better to buy SOL if it drops from 150$ to 120$ than fomo in RN

    I see people posting here and on Solana subreddit how much they bought etc and with big investments they gonna be a lot fear and big sell off when correction will come

    You wanna buy when everyone is crying how much money they lost and calling for end of crypto... Just wait, spend this time for research or invest in coins which didn't pump so hard and get in SOL after cool off

    Corrections will always come ;)

    WARNING! There is currently a scam being actively promoted through Reddit ads phishing for Kraken credentials. Be careful.

    WARNING! There is currently a scam being actively promoted through Reddit ads phishing for Kraken credentials. Be careful.

    Just moments ago I was served a promoted post in my feed with the title "Are you a Kraken User? She has a new look, check it out here!". I was intrigued as I use Kraken but immediately I noticed that the link was panckswp.com. Once I clicked I was redirected to krakmvp.com in a Kraken look-alike login page. THIS IS A PHISHING ATTACK delivered through promoted posts. Also interestingly once you visite once, you can't visit again - had to try again through a different IP. Attaching screenshot below. BE CAREFUL - ALWAYS ENABLE 2FA!

    Suspect Disappears With $119,000,000 Worth of Dogecoin in Alleged DOGE Mining Scam

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:47 AM PDT

    Is crypto anything other than a money making scheme to you? Yes, it's only a money making scheme for me. I'm not in it for the tech.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:33 AM PDT

    Me and all my homies buy crypto and it's nothing more than a money making scheme for us. We can't actually use crypto anywhere here and we probably won't use crypto for at least another decade.

    Crypto will never overthrow fiat, and especially in my country(developing)where cash is preferred almost everywhere, accepting crypto is very far into the future.

    What are you guys in it for? Do you buy crypto cause you love the technology? Or you want to overthrow banks? Or like me, just want to DCA and sell off in future and become rich? Or all of it?

    What do you do during a prolonged bear market? Do you look for other crypto investments?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:35 PM PDT

    I'm curious, what do you do during a prolonged bear market? I'm actually one of those crypto noobies who literally wait for the next bull run. It sounds unproductive so I researched and found this article. They suggest staking, yield farming, accumulating coins, etc. These will take a lot of research on my end so I'd like to ask if they're actually worth investing time in? And what should actually one be doing during a bear market? TIA!

    Reminder: Open your vault while you can.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 03:25 PM PDT

    You get moons every month, and it is nearly that time of the month where everyone gets moons. You might ignore this post today because moons are not worth much, but let me remind you there are only going to be so many moons in circulation. The moons are distributed less and less, and the price of each moon is only going up from here.

    Oh, and did I mention they are also going on the mainnet? This probably means some exchanges will list moons on their websites causing the price to go up. A vault takes a few clicks to open. Just like the old Bitcoin faucet used to give you 5 whole Bitcoins for a few clicks a decade ago.

    Open your vaults before it's too late.

    Whatsapp rival Signal adds Crypto payments feature, BULLISH!

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 03:08 AM PDT

    Whatsapp rival, the encrypted open source messaging app Signal, focussed on privacy retention, integrated support for MobileCoin cryptocurrency to enable users to send payments within it's encrypted network

    MobileCoin is a form of digital cash designed to work efficiently on mobile devices while protecting users' privacy and even their anonymity.

    Unlike payment features in other messaging apps like WhatsApp, where users have to link bank accounts, Signal aims to provide a payment method which only the sender and receiver can track using the public ledger blockchain

    Why Mobilecoin? Although Zcash and monero exist, they usually take minutes to confirm transactions, as opposed to mobilecoin, giving a feel of venmo

    Mainstream adoption is the way to go for crypto, and with Signal integrating crypto on its platform, it is very bullish for crypto in general, which might soon replace fiat at the rate is being adopted

    Fact: Bitcoin is the NES of crypto

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 07:00 PM PDT

    Unopened NES games are far more expensive on the gaming market today compared with brand new and technically superior games. That will continue to be the case 20 years from now.

    Same goes with Bitcoin. It won't be surpassed in market cap, ever, no matter how much the other cryptocurrencies evolve.

    Ethereum is like a multiplayer game that has lag issues because the servers are full. Everyone wants to play it, because it is the hottest thing right now.

    "Ethereum killers" are games that are lag free, because no one wants to play them.

    Shiba Inu is the game with malware that your grandma installed by accident.

    Unpopular opinion: Moon coins are a shit coin and most of you are hypocrites if you enjoy them.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 08:27 AM PDT

    Sure its free money for making a comment or post but they have zero utility just like the coins that are blasted to no end in here and down voted to oblivion such as Doge coin and Shiba. People are literally making post and comments now trying to just get likes to earn a few more moons and its obvious sometimes. This in turn is making this group less enjoyable for myself. I don't blame any of you for enjoy moons, I do also, its free money and who doesn't like that. I guess my main point is if you enjoy a coin that has no utility its unfair and makes no sense for you to bash other coins that other people enjoy and also have no real life utility. Even if Moons bring more people you r/cryptocurrency are these really the kind of people we want on this page? Maybe some of you can enlighten me on how this coin is actually different from the coins that are hated in here besides the fact that its free to people who make a post. I do realize you can buy this coin, which is exactly like buying a shit coin. I wouldn't be surprised if this post gets downvoted a lot but this is making a lot of sense to me.

    Here are the 5 Best Crypto Trading/Payment Apps You Need to Know About

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:02 AM PDT

    Ethereum Gas Prices are High Because People are Using it and if other chains suffer the same traffic, fees will go high too

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:04 AM PDT

    This is plain wrong.

    Out of all blockchains, Stellar processes the most transactions. Yes, even higher than Ethereum.

    The fees? Fraction of a cent. In terms of XLM, that is 0.00001 XLM/tx.

    And yes transactions include all kinds of operations including DEX trades.

    Other chains also have lower fees despite having massive traffic such as Solana and Terra.

    The real deal: Ethereum is inefficient at the moment and it needs to scale. Of course there are layer 2 solutions but they are useless when sending from L1 to L2 costs a lot too. Let's stop pretending fees are fun and Ethereum doesn't have problems.

    Less than 24 hours before El Salvador begins their official BTC launch. Are you expecting a big effect? Why or why not?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:27 AM PDT

    As the title says, El Salvador will begin the "official " launch of the BTC usage as a currency in the country. I've always heard so many times that BTC would never work as a daily usage currency, but more of a store of value.

    With that said, El Salvador is going to distribute $30 usd of BTC to every citizen.

    I'd like to know what your thoughts on the matter are. I've heard both that it can be a good thing and that the citizens are not exactly happy about this.

    Thank you for your time. Im looking forward to reading every response.

    Ethereum gas prices are this high and people are still using it because Ethereum is a network that delivers. Most other "ETH Killers" would have similar transaction fee's if they had anywhere near the traffic that Ethereum has and the real Investors know it. Bitcoin is Gold and Ethereum is Oil.

Bitcoin is Gold and Ethereum is Oil - deal with it.

    You can bet on what network you think is going to kill Ethereum just like you would try and bet on what coin you think is going to kill Bitcoin but at the end of the day your going to eat dirt and wake up and realise people have their bags loaded for the best already and are riding the entire market to even higher heights. The shitcoin gambling phase has nearly come to an end for this cycle and it's becoming more and more prominent every day.

    What is the coin that carries your portfolio?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:31 AM PDT

    Good morning traders, hodlers and shorters from r/CryptoCurrency, the best subreddit related to cryptocurrencies.

    Today I am here with a question, what is the crypto coin / crypto token that carries your portfolio? I am really curious about it. (I hope it is not some shitcoin lol). Does not matter if its a standalone coin, binance smart chain token, ethereum network token, polygon token, stellar token, Harmony ONE token or even MINTME token. All of them are valid!

    Please put the name of the cryptocurrency / crypto token that carries your portfolio in the comment section down below. I will read every comment you have posted so you won't waste your time, energy and electricity typing it.

    For my its stellar (XLM). You might think it is a "stablecoin" but it has risen in value (not as high as tezos or cardano but still).

    Best day of the week to DCA

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 12:59 PM PDT

    Best day of the week to DCA

    I've always heard the best day of the week to DCA is Sunday, like many of you I followed this advice blindly until I did my own research(also a heavily touted piece of advice). What I found was not only was Sunday not the best day it was one of the worst days. I do not want to say this is 100% accurate but I think it's pretty close. What I did was compare the high and low price of each day and average it out, for each day of the week. I went back 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 365 and 730 days to find when the best day would net you the biggest returns. Here is what I found...

    Last 10 Days

    Last 10 days

    This shows that Thursday/Friday were the best times to buy while Monday was the worst.

    Last 30 Days

    Last 30 days

    Over the month we see that Tuesday/Wed/Thurs were pretty good days to average down. Saturday was the worst time to dca over the last 30 days with a difference of 2706 dollars per coin.

    Last 60 Days

    Last 60 days

    The graph may look different but it shows almost the same data, Tues-Thurs are pretty low while Sat-Mon are the peaks. Tuesday is pretty consistently the lowest point to DCA in. If you were DCAing on Tuesday your average price per coin is rough $1,100 bucks cheaper than if you DCA on Sundays.

    Last 90, 120, 180, 365 Days

    Last 90 days

    Last 120 days

    Last 180 Days

    Last 365 days

    As the charts show, Sunday has been one of the worst days to actual DCA. If you DCAed on Sunday you were normally DCAing 1,000-2,000 higher than if you were to DCA on Tuesday. Maybe this is because more and more people started buying on Sunday in the last few months because of people here saying it's the best time, maybe people knew it wasn't a good time but they pushed that information out anyways. If you look at the last 120 and 180 days, DCAing wasn't that bad and was actually lower than most days but now it seems to be a bad day to buy. Maybe it will change in a month or two. Monday though is by far one of the worst days to buy. Anyways hopes this was informative.

    Last 2 years

    The best DCA strategy though isn't which day you buy but for how long you buy. You can see if you were buying every week for the last 2 years, your average price per coin would be 21k.

    TLDR: Buy on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Sell on Saturday or Monday.

    I am curious about different projects for the Longer term. Please let me know the projects you think will have a bright future.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:18 AM PDT

    As the title states I am really interested in your opinion on a coin that is in your eyes a good one to buy for the longer term. I am not taking any of your opinions as financial advice, but I am just asking this question for a better look at different coins. As always, do your own research which I am going to do as well with your projects. Never buy a coin immediately that someone shills in a comment.

    So without further ado give me your best projects and I will take a look at them to make my knowledge about projects a bit better.

    Have a great day community!

    A Beginner's Guide to Monero (XMR)

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:43 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    To my delight I have seen more and more posts and discussion about Monero lately. Especially the latter is important to increase adoption and convince people of why Monero is such a unique project.

    I do, however, notice that many people on this subreddit are misinformed about Monero. Unfortunately beginners might think that Monero is only a dark-web affiliated privacy coin. This is why I think everyone who is new to Monero should read the following article: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/a-beginners-guide-to-monero

    It is from the Binance academy and does a great job at analyzing the Monero project from an (imo) relatively neutral point of view. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask in the comments!

    Charles Hoskinson showing next level: a video made to answer on latest Coin Bureau video news

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 01:38 PM PDT

    Must say that this guys is a next level. Love him or hate him he is updating videos regularly even though he is a fucking billionaire. He showed us that he even watches Guy's Crypto Bureau, which is the best guy on youtube for crypto info imo.

    Latest video he made, 2 hours ago or so, is just a minor reflect on Coin Bureau's last news video from today.

    Guy says that he is a bit concerned ablut Cardano's compliance, but he actually had misunderstood a bit. Charles explaining what is really happening.

    What's the other billionaire crypto person that updates educational videos almost daily? He is in with all of us.

    Respect well deserved.
