    Here it is. The subs most despised coins combined into a single awful folio. This is the folio of hate. How much do you want it to fail? Does it make you angry?

    Well after a long and exhaustive battle of coins being shilled in just a couple of hours, I have found the list of the subs most hated coins. There was definitely a lot of hate out there. I put $100 into each and stored it on a seperate group of wallets to my real bags. To make it easier to track, I create the folio of hate using coinmarketcap to track them more easily. I'll post the updates every month and hope to see some big gains going against us all (even my most hated coin is in this group).

    There was a lot of hate from users, towards some coins more so than others. The two most hated were the most hated by a very long way. Merry Christmas everyone!

    The final list in order of most votes and comments is listed in the comment below because the filter won't let me create a post with that many coin names in it.

    EDIT: Oh my God. You Loopers are the worst. For like the 50th time, the reason it was voted in is because of you and the constant shilling. Almost no one in the sub actually hates the coin.

    Introducing Reddit Community Points Swap - RCPswap Powered by MOOND !

    Posted: 23 Dec 2021 04:52 PM PST

    Introducing Reddit Community Points Swap - RCPswap Powered by MOOND !

    We are excited to launch the first Automated Market Making DeFi protocol on Reddit Arbitrum made especially for Reddit Community Points (RCP)!

    MOOND LOGO

    RCPswap will enable you to Provide Liquidity and do Swaps between RCPs while everything is done in decentralized way by smart contracts on Reddit Arbitrum network.

    RCPswap.com is the interface in which you can interact with the deployed smart contracts:

    1. RCPswapV2-Factory.sol 0x54a745c41643163b3788A6C77eeB1021Ab3dBc0F
    2. RCPswapV2-Router.sol 0x129122bae348cF6Cd4867E7372CA19d310361c65

    Token List

    There are 3 basic functionalities:

    1. Swap - Simple swapping between 2 tokens that you choose.
    2. Pool - Here you can add or create liquidity for 2 tokens(pair), after you provide liquidity, you will receive LP-Token which represents your share in the pool for that specific pair. People who create / add Liquidity are called Liquidity Providers (LP).
    3. Bridge - Because Reddit Arbitrum is Layer 2 on top of Ethereum Rinkeby Testnet, we have to bridge tokens from other blockchains to enable you making and participating in the market. Currently MOOND is bridgeable from/to Binance Smart Chain, our main goal is adding stablecoin which is easily accessible to anyone while having low txs fees.

    Swap RCPs

    Fees to Swap: The Swap fee is 0.9% and it's divided between Liquidity Providers - 0.75% and MoonsDust Treasury - 0.15% (MOOND Buy Back & Brun).

    Metamask is a must for interacting with RCPswap, you need to add Reddit Arbitrum and the tokens you will use.

    Why would someone be LP?

    • LP receive 0.75% of each trade on RCPswap!
    • Other reason is LP are making and supporting the market which is heavily needed for RCPs.

    Provide Liquidity

    What Next?

    Adding Stablecoin, New Design and Logo, Migrating MoonsSwap from HoneySwap to RCPswap

    , TheGraph Api integration + Analytics page, listing on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. These and more will be available on MoonsDust's Roadmap soon.

    What coin has been your biggest letdown for this year?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2021 11:49 PM PST

    As 2021 is coming to an end, what coin or coins have been a total let down for you?

    Everyone is asking what are your go to coin in 2022 but I want to know the coin that you have invested in but has been a disappointment.

    Speaking for myself I would have to say ADA. Fantastic project all round, the $3 all time high, the hype around the Alonzo launch but in the end (for now), the price and the dapps are not that convincing. Annnnd I didn't take any profits when it hit $3 so that one is on me.

    What about you guys?

    Thinking of quitting your job to trade crypto because of the gains? Don't.

    Posted: 23 Dec 2021 11:03 PM PST

    I think it's about time to post something like this since we are seeing green again nowadays.

    If you're thinking of quitting your job to trade crypto since you were successful and gaining day by day because of your decisions (buy/sell whatever), then please clear your mind, it could just be adrenaline, oxytocin, dopamine, or whatever hormone your body is generating for now. Don't leave your stable jobs, you may see successful traders out there but it takes dedication and a little luck to be a full time trader. Or at the very least test your strategy first, put it in a trial during both a bull and a bear market. Yes, you might be earning something around 10% or more everyday by what you are currently doing, but what if bear market hits and instead of earning you are losing value day by day, and you got no regular source of income to support your daily needs, are you gonna sell your crypto?

    If you really want to change careers then at least stock up savings of at least 6-12 months of your spendings so you won't need to worry about tomorrow if all else fails. I have friends who actually quit trading and became successfully, but I think it's as rare as people dropping out of harvard and ending up as a ceo of multi billion company.

    At the end of the day it's your life, your decisions, I suggest your rub one out before making any life changing decisions, post nut clarity is a thing.

    During the January-April I was swimming in gains and my father asked me if I'm gonna quit my job to trade crypto. I'm like nahh, then May came. Sometimes it pays off being a scaredy cat.

    I researched about these upcoming Play-to-Earn games, so you don’t have to:

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 04:19 AM PST

    Before anyone goes reeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I must point out that many of these Gamefi tokens are under development and. This article will mention these games for a variety of reasons, from good earning opportunities to interesting investments, all the way down to the simple fact that 'this game looks dope as f***'. In addition, I of course want to highlight a variety of upcoming games, so I won't be repeating Axie Infinity, Alien Worlds, Sorare, Crypto Royale(on my pinned bar) which are here every month.

    Mobox: MoMoVerse – formerly DeFi, now becoming GameFi

    Market Cap : $500 Million

    Went live: April , 2021

    Exchanges: Binance, Bitget, Gate.io, HitBTC, and ZT

    On December 6th, Mobox will launch the first phase of the Mobox MoMoverse. Through a daily quest system with play-to-earn mechanics, Mobox NFTs become avatars for daily quests. Alpha players will be able to test MoMoWorld and receive MBOX rewards.

    In addition to an NFT marketplace, the official version will be launched once the open Alpha is completed. One of the GameFi products on the market that has consistently built and grown its ecosystem since its launch in April is this one. You shouldn't expect anything like an MMO just yet, but it seems like everybody's creating virtual worlds nowadays.

    KXA –Kryxivia Bring Fantasy Play-to-earn MMORPG GameFi to the next level

    Market Cap : $2 Million

    Went live: December , 2021

    Exchanges: PancakeSwap (V2), MEXC, Decoin, and BakerySwap

    kryxivia.io is a fantasy play-to-earn 3D MMORPG that can be played directly in any modern browser.

    By playing Kryxivia, you can earn Crypto-Currency and unique NFT, build your own character, fight bosses in dungeons, stake your currency in the bank, loot from special items, and cast spells from magical gems known as Kryxit, which may be linked to items for accessibility.

    As it is in its early stages, you can also stake your kryxivia to get unique NFTs and participate in the closed beta test.

    Doctor Who: Worlds Apart – First playable version coming before the end of the year

    Reality Gaming Group and BBC Studios have not yet announced a launch date for Doctor Who: Worlds Apart, but the first playable test version will launch this month. To participate, you'll need a Founder Token. This month, the team plans to hold a new sale for Founder Tokens, but no details have been released.

    The Sandbox – An open alpha for all, and play-to-earn for some

    Market Cap : $5 Billion

    Went live: March 2021

    Exchanges: Binance, OKEx, CoinTiger, FTX

    Anyone who owns an Alpha Pass NFT has access to The Sandbox's play-to-earn segment. It's finally time for players to dive into an early version of what The Sandbox will be. The majority of players will not have access to the earning mechanics, but they will get a taste of what The Sandbox will be like when it's complete. You should give this one a try if you're into play-to-earn gaming.

    World of Sipheria – SIPHER is coming, NFTs are here, but no game yet

    We expect to hear a lot more about the World of Sipheria next year. For now the availability of two NFT collections will have to do. Each of the characters in these collections will become playable characters in the full game. On December 6th the team will have a public token sale on their website, so be sure to check that out if you want to be early.

    NFT in a VR environment enables a real-world experience with creativity & expression, facilitates socialization and the acceptance of feelings.

    MEGA - MegaCryptoPolis- A mega project indeeeeeed!

    84 days has passed since the release of Pandora Papers which unearthed a list of rich and powerful people including the leaders/politicians around the globe hoarding billions of money in unaccountable form and nothing concrete has happened from this finding. Yet they say that crypto is the villain.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 04:09 AM PST

    For all the uninitiated around The Pandora Papers:

    "The Pandora Papers is an investigation into the shadowy offshore financial system that reveals the workings of a secret economy that benefits the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else.

    The "papers" consists of more than 11.9 million confidential records obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists that form the backbone of the investigation."

    More than 600 journalists from 150 news outlets has unearthed offshore dealings of 35 current and former world leaders and more than 300 other current and former public officials and politicians around the world.

    Few of the named individuals are:

    Emirati Royal Family, King of Jordan, President of Gabon, PM of Lebanon, President of Kenya, Russian Government Inner Circle, Sachin Tendulkar (cricket goat), Shakira, Ringo Starr, Claudia Schiffer, Julio Iglesias and so on..

    (Source: https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/power-players/)

    And yet...

    Nothing has happened.

    The immediate response of the officials and politicians across the globe has been to denounce this finding and restrict the journalism so nothing else gets uncovered.

    "Immediately after the blockbuster exposé was published, officials around the world responded with crackdowns, fiery denials and denouncements, and personal attacks."

    And as a part of their efforts on maintaining this control on the world economy, and keeping the corrupted state of the world enabled- they are coming to get crypto. They realize the potential that crypto holds in restricting their control and power as it enables transparency through decentralization. It establishes rule inequality- that a protocol is a protocol and that you have to comply with the rules no matter your stature.

    DAO, Defi, Dex, Dapps are the future which they are so desperately trying to resist in order to postpone its destined arrival.

    And so when we push anything which is centralized in its core nature and hope for it to get widely adopted, we are working for them- those rotten, corrupt rich who are a part of massive cartel looking for any opportunity which could help them horde this power that they are very well accustomed to.

    Let's hope that with new year, we work on the issues rampant in the current state of our world- glorified under this biggest ever investigative piece- and progress towards a better and more decentralized world.

    We are the beta run. r/CryptoCurrency are the guinea pigs for social media rewards.

    Posted: 23 Dec 2021 08:40 PM PST

    We are just the beginning.. I have personally been saying Crypto & NFT's will pick up more traction due to companies forcing them into our pockets to a certain degree:

    One example is how Garbage Pail Kids mixed NFT pack claim cards into physical card packs, which is how i personally received my first nft's and became involved.

    Another example is how BK was giving away free crypto with a purchase over 5 dollars with your Burger King Account per day.

    My prediction: The most popular form of this will come in community points similar to our own. Whether it spans across Reddit alone or spills into other platforms, this is how crypto will actually reach the average person and get them invested in the future of said coin/community/service.

    Picture it similar to how Youtubers are paid per ad yada yada, all of a sudden people will seem much more incentivized to interact and / or support the coin. This is our traction. How would people know you have the best ice cream shop if you dont give them some free samples?

    Beginners guide to project research. Learn before investing!

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 02:43 AM PST

    Many people on this sub shill their projects and truly believe the projects they follow are superior to others. In reality less than 2% actually understand the tech and invest purely based on hype.

    My attempt in this post is to give a starting point for beginners to research the projects and understand what they are investing in. Hopefully, this post will allow you to compare various projects and compare apples to apples. Since this is targeted for beginners, I'm going to keep the explanations high level and not go too technical.

    Project categories:

    Major themes that are currently trending are:

    1. DeFi
    2. WEB3
    3. Games/Metaverse
    4. DAOs

    You will find various projects trying to find innovative solutions in each of these categories but my focus for this post will be projects that are focussing majorly on DeFi. Traditional Centralised Finance (CeFi) is estimated to be $400 Trillion while Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is estimated to be $200 Billion. That means DeFi has captured 0.05% of the traditional finance currently and even if we capture 10% of the CeFi, it's a huge upside from current valuations.

    So, my focus will be on understanding what infrastructure is needed if DeFi were to capture at least 10% of traditional finance.

    Terminology and key areas to research:

    Decentralization: The ability to allow anyone to run a node and participate in the network consensus. More people running nodes will make the network more decentralised. Usually node runners are incentivised to encourage participation.

    Security: Usually refers to network security such as preventing double spends or liveness break but can also be extended to dApps running on the network. I would like to look at how easy it is to develop secure dApps on the network.

    Scalability: Refers to both throughput and state management. Throughput is measured as transactions per second(TPS). State refers to the data that is stored on the ledger. State grows with every transaction as nothing ever gets deleted on a blockchain.

    Composability: The ability to compose multiple unrelated dApps to perform a single transaction. Composability is unique to DeFi and one of the magical features that can make the DeFi space grow exponentially.

    Sharding: Technique used to split the blockchain into multiple shards to achieve scalability.

    zkRollup: Zero Knowledge rollup is used for layer 2 scaling solutions mostly for ethereum. Transactions are carried on layer 2 and a proof (SNARK) is stored on layer 1.

    DLT: Distributed Ledger Technology is a term used to describe ledgers that are distributed across multiple computers. Blockchains, DAGs etc are distributed ledgers.

    Consensus: Ability for various nodes in the distributed network to agree that the transaction is correct and should be written to the Blockchain/Distributed Ledger.

    Finality: Time taken to confirm the transaction on the Blockchain/Distributed Ledger. Higher finality leads to higher latency. Eg: Payment solutions may require lower finality.

    Minimum Requirements:

    With the terminology out of the way, what are the minimum requirements of a network to support the demand if it were to capture at least 10% of the global traditional finance and remain secure? What questions you should ask when researching your project?

    1. Decentralization: It is important that networks remains fully decentralized. When you imagine trillions of dollars locked on a network, you wouldn't want any government or entities to take control of the network or bring it down. Wars can be won if any government can take control of the network or break the liveness. It is difficult to block a network that is decentralized.
      One of the key parameters to achieve decentralization is how easy and inexpensive it is for anyone to run a node and participate in consensus. You can immediately rule out projects that make it difficult to participate in concensus or have high node requirements. Some projects I've seen require some kind of approval before your node can take part in consensus, they are a strict no go.
      You need to pay attention to the future node requirements as well as the network grows. Will the requirements remain the same even if the demand grows exponentially? Most of the unsharded networks can be ruled out as they require every node to store the entire state. As the network grows, you need to keep increasing your hard drive capacity, eventually reaching a point where it becomes too expensive to run a node making the network more and more centralized. Most nodes require NVMe disks and they are quite expensive.
    2. Security: Consensus mechanism is mostly responsible for security. When a transaction is made, all the nodes in the network should reach a consensus that the transaction is valid and can be committed to the ledger. For example, if Alice sends 10 tokens to Bob, all nodes participating in the consensus should verify that Alice holds 10 tokens by checking against the local copy of the blockchain state and after enough confirmations are reached, the transaction is committed to the ledger permanently. Different projects implement different consensus mechanisms and you can verify how double spends, sybil attacks etc., are prevented by the project.
      While security may mostly mean network security and protection against common attacks on the network, I usually also look at the programming environment of the network and how easy/difficult it is to develop secure dApps. We rarely hear money being lost due to attack on a network security but we frequently hear about the regular hacks and exploits that happen in DeFi space where millions of dollars are stolen by hackers. Most of these exploits happen due to difficulty in developing secure dApps and it is completely left on the developers to ensure they don't leave loopholes in their code. You miss an IF condition, someone may exploit that. A project that is addressing this area will do well in the future. While it may be impossible to have an environment that is 100% secure, you can at least make it very difficult for the developers to make mistakes. Some projects are developing VM environments that take care of a lot of trivial tasks that would otherwise require developers to handle them in their dApps.
    3. Scalability: This is the biggest pain point that every project is working on. Scaling without sacrificing on decentralization or security is the trilemma everyone wants to solve. While many projects want you to believe they solved the trilemma, look closer and you'll know they have made some compromises. Sharding the network or using L2 solutions is how every project is trying to address scalability, however, both solutions break composability. Let's look at some of the drawbacks of these solutions.
      Sharding allows you to scale the network by dividing the network into multiple shards. While different projects may implement sharding differently, you can think of an unsharded network as a single shard where every node stores the entire state and participates in the consensus. With sharding, you can divide the state into multiple shards with each shard storing only a part of the state. This allows you to execute non related transactions in parallel increasing the throughput and also keep the hardware requirement for nodes acceptable as each node is not required to store the entire state. Network's state will grow with every transaction so an unsharded network will eventually require you to run a datacenter to store the entire state. If the demand increases and more transactions are performed, the state will increase at a faster rate. So, hardware requirements to run a node is directly proportional to TPS is an unsharded network.
      While sharding may look like the solution, it does introduce couple of problems. Sharding increases finality making the network unsuitable for certain use cases and also sharding breaks composability. Some networks may support asynchronous composability in a sharded network, but most of them break synchronous atomic composability. For example, if you want to take a flash loan from Aave to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity in Uniswap in an all or nothing transaction within the same block(flash loan transaction should not execute if the arbitrage transaction in uniswap is not executed). This is not possible unless the sharded network supports synchronous atomic composability. Without atomic composability across shards, both Aave and Uniswap should exist on the same shard and is limited to the max throughput supported by a single shard. Networks that support asynchronous composability cross shard would execute the Aave transaction irrespective of whether Uniswap transaction will be successful or not. Some networks try to address atomic composability at the dApp level in the programming language instead of handling this at the protocol level. Flash loan is just one example, there are many use cases where atomic composability plays a role such as multi token swap to find the best route for liquidity etc. Composability is unique to DeFi which would make this space more innovative than CeFi leading to financial products that don't currently exist in CeFi.

    Another key factor is not having a TPS limit by design. Most projects have a TPS limit by design and feel they are better than ETH. While they may be working fine under current demand, if you have a limit you will eventually hit that limit one day. According to me the network should scale as per demand without any TPS limits by design. With DeFi capturing just 0.05% of CeFi, Ethereum is brought to its knees so any network that doesn't support unlimited scalability by design will falter when we are talking about capturing 10% or more of CeFi. If you see a number against TPS, you can avoid it or play it for short term.
    In short, look for projects that are sharded or have figured out somehow to manage state as the network grows, don't have a TPS limit by design and don't break atomic composability.
    L2 Solutions using rollup or side chains are another way to scale the network and a lot of promising research is going on in this space. However, most L2 solutions currently have a hard TPS limit by design and break composability between side chains or rollups. Spreading liquidity across multiple chains or networks is very inefficient.

    This post has become too long and I'll consider posting a Part II based on the comments. To summarize, check the project that you are researching supports unlimited scalability by design without compromising on decentralization or security or composability. You may be surprised that the network that is going to change the world is either still under development or is yet to cut the first line of code. We are too early to fight which of the current projects is superior. If one has an open mind, you can find those hidden gems!

    Here's a post that can help you if you're a beginner

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 04:03 AM PST

    Here's a post that can help you if you're a beginner

    If you're a newcomer to this subreddit or just starting your journey in cryptocurrency, this post might be helpful for you. Here I'll be discussing how you can use your time well to learn more about crypto from this subreddit

    • Searching - Yes, use subreddit search to find quality posts about a topic you're interested in. Sort them by Top all time and you'll have them there. You can click on flairs like EDUCATIONAL/ADVICE/STRATEGY and narrow down your search even more.

    Here are some quality materials which you can go through

    • Questions - Ask ask ask! I can't stress this enough, if you stumble upon a post and don't understand some term there, just post it in the comment and someone will answer your question there. Yes, people here are wild but they also have good knowledge and better experience than a newcomer.
    • Behaviour - Don't engage in conversations where people won't even try to understand your side of the story and stick to their opinion no matter what. Let it go, it's online, people with masks. Don't let it stress you and hurt yourself if someone's being rude. Move on, you have better things to do.
    • Useful Links - They are in front of you. Don't ignore them. You can join their discord and check other subreddits related to cryptocurrency. I'm not saying you have to be active in them, but for a quick question, you can ask in their discord and people will reply to you there.

    Do check these out

    • Rules - Yes, do check them for once before you start posting or commenting. This community is quite strict when it comes to rules, so don't try to bypass them. In no way, it means you should refrain from asking your doubts, but let's say filling a post with random words just to reach the 500-word post limit is breaking rules.
    • Moderation - In case someone is harassing you in a subreddit or being a jerk you can report them to the moderation team. In general, if someone's personally DMing you and poking you, it's better to block them. So far in my experience, they are pretty supportive.
    • Precaution - No matter for how long you've been talking to someone, don't try to open fishy links posted in comments or even in DM. Give them a google search and see it yourself whether it's a scam or not. These things have happened to me just in the past week.
    • Comments - Sometimes comments are more informative than posts themselves. There are posts about how you can earn crypto and what resources are available. Just search 'Resources' and sort with the top all time, there you have a lot of detailed posts about them. Do check their comments.
    • Shilling - People would be commenting on a lot of coins and projects which they're interested in. Don't ignore them or get frustrated with them. Just search about them and get to know what the project is about. You never know when the opportunity comes. Sometimes, even swing trading on shitcoins can work out.

    Whatever you need to know about the latest news, projects and developments. Everything is posted, just don't spend too much time or overindulge in it. I'm just sharing what I've been doing since I've joined this subreddit.

    And yeah I love this community, cheers to crypto future

    55% of US bitcoin holders first jumped into crypto this year

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 01:28 AM PST

    A large number of posts here are being brigaded from buttcoin. If you see "Buttcoin" in a user's flair, they are here to bait and brigade

    Posted: 23 Dec 2021 10:51 PM PST

    A large number of posts here are being brigaded from buttcoin. If you see "Buttcoin" in a user's flair, they are here to bait and brigade

    A number of posts that are made here are being linked to buttcoin and being brigaded from there.

    Example of a post just few hours ago

    Many more are being linked in comments and its hard to detect these as reddit doesnt identify when a post is being brigaded through comments.

    On such posts, a lot of buttcoiners will arrive and try to spread their bullshit narratives around crypto. Unfortunately since this place has grown massively, many are new here and just reading around and not part of the crypto space. A lot of new people reading the posts here also end up reading the bs narratives of buttcoiners

    BTC prices going down over the last 2-3 weeks means all the buttcoiners are having their own party. Of course they were so wrong and all had humble pie for most of this year as many coins printed 10-100x.

    Thankfully we have a good way of spotting such people who are here from other subs. Their flair will show "buttcoin"

    People disliking crypto is not proof that "we're still early"

    Posted: 24 Dec 2021 01:23 AM PST

    It's happening again and again. People somewhere - on other subs, in the media, in public, in stories posters have made up to be able to say "we're still early" - say something negative about crypto. Just in the past few weeks, people have taken gamers heavily disliking NFT integration in Ubisoft games and soccer fans disliking crypto as proof that we definitely are very early.

    In some cases - for example with most of these soccer fans on Reddit - they don't even really say anything negative about crypto. They disliked how "Crypto subs turn into MLM's/Hybrid ponzis. They use all the same language as well talking about investing in [garbage] as being part of a community/army/team" and how crypto people can be really annoying - yeah, hard to argue against that. In other cases people voice legitimate critizism and dislike how they are immediately shouted down by crypto bros who classify everything negative about crypto as FUD.

    And yeah, some people just dislike crypto. Maybe some even dislike it because they misunderstand some aspect. You know what? That's also not proof we're early. So many people dislike smartphones. Social networks, Hell, even the internet. Cars! Are we early to these things? People have so many misconceptions about the internet, even though by now it's been around for decades. What about other financial products - do you really think most people like or even understand stocks? I heavily doubt that - and they've been around for centuries.

    We don't, and can't, know whether we're early, all we know that we are not really early, we're way too mainstream already, obviously. Are we somewhat early, are we late? No idea, let's hope for the former. But: I know many of you are reeeeally passionate about crypto, I really like it a lot as well. But not everyone is like you, and even if you can't understand that, not everyone will like crypto, even if they have a perfect understanding of it. So no, if you see someone disliking crypto that's definitely not a sign of us being early.
