#$$$$$20.00!!!!!!!! | 2024-12-15 |
Hey all, so some of you have been here for a while, and in the lat 24 hours, this random Canuck comes in and hypes up this COIN. What does it mean? It means, I believe in the END game! Just on here giving us holders that spunk to remember the long game is the only game.
👍👍👍👍👍 ↔️Always UPVOTE each other to show support!
#THIS FRIDAY: $7.88 (just a guess) | 2024-12-15 |
can somebody tell me how to contact someone from fil to ask them about binding process for recovering my assets from BNB chain network ? | 2024-12-16 |
All my FIL tokens were seized by the Chinese police in April and the STFIL team in china was under investigation. Anyone have any update on this? Thanks in advance. | 2024-12-16 |
New mining ASIC are coming out that are profitable with current ETC rates and have an ROI as quick as 12 months with profitability of $32 / day. ROI could be much quicker for large miners that purchase a lot of these ASICs. These miners are $2000 - $15000 and mine 5.5 - 23 ghash each for pretty low power. The 23 ghash unit only consumes 2550 watts.
The majority of these are shipping late December / January 2025
So if just 1000 of these large ones came online that would be a 23 THash increase in hashrate.
| 2024-12-18 |
Looks like GS is purchasing FIL at over a 1000% increase. Am I reading this correctly? Seems super bullish if GS is purchasing already at over a 1000% price increase. | 2024-12-18 |
I’m new to crypto but I’d expect with all this good news about file that it would blow up pretty soon. Seems like the opposite is happening | 2024-12-20 |
BTC dominance over it might drop to 75k , alts soon start get advanced of it. | 2024-12-23 |

With the recent announcement of wrapped WETC I see even more potential.
How do we get this news out there for more proliferation.
I think we all owe it to Donald McIntyre for producing so much content how can we share in the narrative?
I know that recently Nov 18th ETC ambassador program was advertised, how can we help or see more frequent updates in this area?
The ETC hashrate is strong as ever starting in Nov 2024. Compared to 2022 when ETH started going POS we are way up in hash rate.
How can we get noticed even more? | 2024-12-31 |
When owning physical hardware for storage is so cheap nowadays, why would anyone use filecoin? | 2025-01-01 |
Is there any good dev resources (GitHub/repo) and docs for example on how to use the ecosystem? I want to test storing and retrieving … also is there a price per TB stored/retrieved ? Golang is my preferred language | 2025-01-02 |
Hey all - I'm building a whale activity tracker,currently only tracks ETH & LTC, so what I wanted to ask is if it's needed for BCH, and everyone can see any big whalemovements.

Hi fellas, mcjkula has been working on this website: [https://learnbittensor.org/](https://learnbittensor.org/)
MoonshotTAO commissioned, because there was a lack of information and confusion around many topics.
You can find info on:
1. Bittensor mechanics
2. Dynamic TAO
3. Each Subnet purpose (Still a work in progress)
4. Apps already online
5. Validator & Miner purpose etc
There will be more guides, but for now just one that helps the people setup a wallet. Soon there will be guides on how to mine, so Miners don't have to nagg subnet discords about generic stuff.
I urge people here to see it, and hopefully direct others to it.

Hey all. I have developed the free whale activity tracker, It's more frequent, and is actually free, rather than the whale alerts account that has millions of followers. (They don't have BCH support on their X for free, it's $30/month)
Anything over 1,000 BCH will trigger a Tweet from our account. Would anyone like to see a website that can alert you directly? Please let me know. This is free and completely ran on by donations from the support of people. And we are doing a giveaway for our launch! :D
[https://x.com/krypt\_drop](https://x.com/krypt_drop) (or just search Krypt\_Drop, make sure a \_ inbetween!)
Website out soon.
And ofc running a python bot, API rate limits, etc.. cost a bit of money, ANY donation amount is appreciated, even 0.0001 BCH.! (We will post our donators if requested on our donor wall for our website)
BCH Donation Address: qzkn7xndkydqx52crux2gy2wy03trh3d7qa6lthav7
(Once 0.25 BCH is raised we will launch the website, for web hosting / sql costs.)
EDIT:
0.015/0.25 bch raised (thank you to our 2 donors) | 2025-01-05 |
Had a moment to test Moria.money and cauldron dex in conjunction with cashonize wallet (recommended by users in different post in this sub) and electron cash, which I use a lot.
I must admit having working stable coin, which is **transparent** and fair is superb.
Cauldron dex looks rough. It is cartoonish. Almost, dare to say childish and unprofessional. But it works well. Can't fault it.
Cashonize wallet also looks basic. But again, it works well. Can't fault either.
Electron cash is nearly flawless, but it is apparent that cash tokens are a new addition to the wallet. It shows. But again, can't say anything bad about this, in my opinion, best BitcoinCash wallet. I hope electron will get wallet connect functionality soon.
It is possible soon I will be able to use BCHBull and keep savings in musd instead of shady Tether. All kept in my wallet (cashonize or electron). That would be great and hopefully could protect BitcoinCash in the event of potential tether collapse.
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to express my excitement and hope for the future of BitcoinCash.
Fingers crossed for Moria and MUSD. May their test be fruitful. My money is on it. | 2025-01-05 |
It's like he's disappeared.
I recently read Roger Ver's book, and it's a matter of time before everything starts rolling. | 2025-01-05 |
Many people doesn't know that is possible to use an alias as BCH address. In this article I dive into it, enjoy! | 2025-01-05 |
Many folks simply buying WTAo and swapping out at the Tao swap site and storing in TAO wallet and staking on Bittensor site? I have ledger too but not sure I need to transfer to talisman then to ledger if already on the wallet? I haven’t bought Tao but thinking this is the route. | 2025-01-05 |
Just like the title says, do you think Tao can hit $1500 this bull run and if yes when exactly? | 2025-01-05 |
This coin is ancient, no improvements, and is lagging behind every single crypto. Meme coins make more money than this joke of a coin.

I am in the state of Georgia and i am not quite sure i how to buy bittensor what are some easy ways i can? the couple ways i have tried have not worked. | 2025-01-06 |
Howdy. Is there a way to lock the wallet when finished similar to other wallets that have a lock button or exit button so the wallet is locked until you reopen and input your password? I don’t see 2 factor authorization either? Thank you | 2025-01-06 |
It’s this week. Maybe this very moment.
It’s about to go. Cheers | 2025-01-06 |

I’ve been working on a simple old-school retro OpenGL side-scroller shmup, and I’d love for you to check it out: [https://read.cash/@Gigamegs/simple-old-school-retro-opengl-side-scroller-shmup-b9fdc82c](https://read.cash/@Gigamegs/simple-old-school-retro-opengl-side-scroller-shmup-b9fdc82c)
If you have a moment, it would mean a lot if you could leave a rating, write a quick review, or share a kind comment.
I’ve really enjoyed creating it so far and have plans to add more features soon.
Thanks so much for your support!

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash
Relative Value Thesis
Opening statement
We are **NOT** here to pump or ‘dunk’ any crypto asset or protocol. We are **NOT** suggesting one coin is “better” than the other, we are here to highlight the obvious disparity between two, virtually identical coins, Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash. We are **not** recommending a relative value pairs trade (short BTC vs long BCH) moreover, we are **not** advising ‘hodl’ers’ of BTC to take profits if they were not already considering it.
Our simple objective is to identify the glaring valuation differential that would never occur in traditional financial asset classes. Our objective is to raise awareness to the glaring valuation differential that would never occur in traditional financial asset classes. We are left with the obvious question “Is the value proposition for the crypto asset class based on perception alone, or analogous to traditional asset classes where relative value analysis is accepted and implemented?”. If you believe the former, then clearly price and “value” are simply a subjective number allowing value distortions to continue, if you believe the latter to be true, then our observation has credibility and merits further examination. We believe these contradictory positions cannot co-exist ad-infinitum.
We will later explain our multi decade career experience in Trad-Fi and how re-pricing of assets happen and, in the scenario where full crypto adoption is complete, how financial markets will look to capitalise and profit from extreme value dislocations.
Given the nature of our approach, this thesis is directed towards relative value analysts and investors and **not**high frequency, momentum traders, where it is obvious timescales to profitability are wildly different.
We believe the crypto asset class is about to enter the next phase of its young lifecycle. The incoming US Trump administration is making extremely positive comments regarding this nascent technology. If a new category of investor (Trad-FI) is to enter this asset class on a large scale, considering the structural symmetry of BTC and BCH, how will the extreme price dislocation between the forks be evaluated?
Our aim is to imagine a future that has looked through the current noise and exuberance that pervades the emergent crypto investor community and has reached the destination of full adoption which crypto developers predicted and, in the scenario, where many protocols are adopted and trusted, propose that two which have identical DNA should evolve more closely along correlated trajectories. Currently, due to larger adoption and scaling of the BTC network, its valuation is approximately 185x of the BCH protocol.
A crucial aspect to highlight, BTC like all protocols for many years had the ‘proof of concept’ argument thrust upon it, it was not until an era of extreme monetary supply inflation (Covid stimulus) followed by double-digit global inflation, that BTC was valued as a credible store of value. BCH, like many other protocols should benefit from this adoption into the mainstream perception and following asset allocation, we believe BTC has done all the heavy lifting for others to follow, therefore the adoption risk premium has diminished exponentially.
Finally, we can all see how MicroStrategy (and others) have identified a liquidity mechanism to maximise its BTC stake to create value, this can absolutely happen with BCH, all it takes is vision and commitment of the concept.
Most observers of financial assets are aware that price performance can simply be a function of supply vs demand. It is a fact that both BTC & BCH will each have a total supply of 21mln, yet the current demand for one is vastly dislocated from the other. We invite comments and insights which we may not have considered or be aware of, as to why this demand differential is so extreme. We acknowledge the BTC network has currently scaled far larger than the BCH network. Given the BCH network has identical foundations to the BTC network, we question if it’s conceivable for the BCH network to scale and for its perception as a store of value (the ‘hard money’ narrative for BTC, its twin) be justifiably applied to it.
If the conclusion to this thought experiment is “yes”, then the following question is focused on the current BCH valuation and the potential to re-price.
If the belief remains that BTC is the true store of value for the Bitcoin Protocol with BCH being the means of payment, surely their values should be intrinsically correlated? It appears that BTC’s use case of the Bitcoin protocol has dominated ‘investor’ perception, whilst BCH’s use case for the same protocol is largely ignored. Moreover, if after the hard fork of 2017, had both sides of the scaling solution aligned their efforts, the two forks could have operated in uniform and complimented each other. Shared projects like cross-chain compatibility, wallet integration or inter-operable payment systems would have helped both chains grow in parallel.
In our many conversations with “hodl’ers” of BTC / BCH / Crypto, it is clear a large proportion have very limited understanding of the technology in which they have invested; their interest and investments are predicated on momentum and/or speculative.
Once the close relationship between BTC and BCH protocols is highlighted, many are deeply surprised these ‘value’ and perception anomalies exists.
Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash backstory
Philosophically and empirically BTC & BCH share the same DNA with certain idiosyncratic features, we firmly believe those idiosyncrasies cannot and should not result in extreme valuation differences between the two coins. The Bitcoin Genesis Block was mined 3^(rd) Jan 2009, with a block reward of 50 Bitcoin.
On August 1^(st) 2017 at Block height 478,555, the BitCoin network hard forked (which we consider mechanically akin to a 1:1 stock split whereby the BTC owner, on that day, received a corresponding amount of BCH).
Both forks have the same halving characteristics (every 210,000 blocks or four years).Both use the Sha-256 algorithm cryptographic hash function.
The motivation for the fork was premised on finding a solution to scale the network to handle more transactions and bring down transaction cost. It was not understood if either protocol would gather a greater network / compute adoption or perception of value. The ideological rift between the BTC and BCH communities revolved around the block size debate, which escalated into a public contest for legitimacy. This created division and confusion among users, developers and investors, and ultimately lead to them positioning themselves as rivals. By treating the hard fork as a natural evolution of Bitcoins philosophy – allowing diverse approaches to coexist – they could have framed BCH as a complimentary alternative to certain use cases (e.g. payments) while BTC remained a store of value and base layer for settlements.
It is worth noting that during the initial post fork period BTC & BCH had similar market capitalisations based off the same supply dynamic as it was unclear which fork would gather greater network adoption. BCH advocates viewed Bitcoin as ‘peer-to-peer electronic cash’ consistent with Satoshi’s whitepaper vision.
BTC and BCH continue to exist independently with different development paths.
To reiterate, both forks will only ‘reward’ 21million coins. Up to block 478,555 their histories are one and the same, their destination at 21million coins will be the same.
We acknowledge there can be debates around the benefits of one feature vs another (e.g. SegWit vs increased block size) this remains to be a subjective viewpoint when the current valuations of the two coins are wholly predicated on the different perceptions of store of value, despite their identical finite supply dynamics. The wildly differing market capitalisation of BTC vs BCH cannot simply be explained due to the SegWit and block size argument. We feel the price difference is largely explained by investor perception, network adoption and the focus BTC receives from mainstream and social media. If perception is altered within the value equation, and both assessed objectively, we believe there is little else to legitimize the value dislocation. BTC and BCH **BOTH** have the same ‘hard-money’ finite supply DNA – it is **NOT** logical to apply the hard money narrative around one and not the other.
What is clear in crypto, sentiment and momentum can coalesce around a particular narrative with inconsistent rigour. Our approach is diametrically opposed to this, we are assessing the value distortions applying disciplines that of the traditional finance space (investment bank / hedge funds), which, ultimately will impact valuations in the asset class. We have no bias to protocol but are purely attempting to get in front of the wall of money that is heading towards the investable crypto universe.
To visualise this thesis and to make our thinking accessible, we have attempted to construct some ‘analogue’ thought experiments. Here are some examples.
Digital Gold as a store of value. We know BTC and BCH will have a total supply of 21million. This is an immutable fact. BTC has become, what is considered, a store of value due to this supply dynamics. BCH to date, has not.
Consider this, if two identical Gold mines existed, both with the same proven reserves, mined in the same way, would the physical gold be valued so differently?
Within the Physical Oil complex the Brent and WTI contracts experience some, but not significant price discrepancies, however, they are largely considered to be one and the same resulting in correlated performance and value.
Network Scaling Thesis. All have observed how the BTC network has scaled over time. This scaling gives the protocol decentralization, efficiency and reliability.
Consider the outcome if the BCH network were to scale in a short space of time, both horizontally and vertically. How will the network be perceived after this adoption?
Therefore, we should ask ourselves the question, what could stimulate such an increase in network compute?
If an accumulation strategy of BCH were to start, akin to MicroStrategy in BTC (currently nicknamed “infinite money glitch”), price appreciation of BCH could be the trigger. Another far simpler possibility, could investors start to accumulate and ‘value’ BCH for its finite supply also?
SegWit vs Blocks size 2017 Hard Fork (as was named ‘small blockers vs big blockers’).
We do not suggest being able to provide a computational performance comparison to the two solutions, no more than we can debate the comparative performance of an Android phone or an Apple OS phone. What goes on in the back-end is largely taken for granted: your apps work, your data is ‘secure’ you trust the software as far as you dare.
If the BCH network scales like BTC, the security becomes in-built due to its size, the block size or signature process is of little consequence, just like all computer hardware. We trust the back-end software design of all the products we use minute by minute.
VW/Skoda – VW products for many years traded at a premium to Skoda (VW acquired Skoda in 1991) due to brand recognition and perhaps ignorance. This pricing dislocation corrected over time as car owners understood, both brands are largely of the same quality (Product understanding over time as more information was available).
Conclusion.
We reiterate and emphasise we are **not** advocating one blockchain protocol versus another (BTC vs. BCH….or any other) Instead we are attempting to raise awareness that this anomaly exists and question the merit and the logic.
We believe as the asset class matures and becomes analysed akin to traditional financial instruments and products, this store of value proposition will be rigorously examined.
What is clear in the post-fork adoption, one community were far more effective in promoting and advancing one solution in applying the hard-money narrative. Had the BCH community applied this narrative to their scaling solution, the outcomes may have been different. It is essential to consider, as the asset class develops, if BCH, also with 21mln total supply, is considered as hard-money store of value and a payments solution.
BTC for many years faced heavy criticism and denouement, but due to macro-economic conditions already mentioned, BTC was able to achieve escape velocity from the ‘non-believers’ of crypto assets. BTC has created a virtuous cycle of price appreciation and demand due to the scarcity narrative. For many years there were concerns about possible 51% attacks of the network, which BTC has far outgrown, BCH has the same DNA to be able to grow in the same decentralised way.
To quote Satoshi in January 2009 “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”
The authors History.
The authors of this article are identical twins, in their 50s, who have both traded many Financial Instruments and asset classes for over 30 years each, primarily in London, but also Hong Kong & Tokyo.
Both began careers in the1980s. Over the following decades, they managed considerable risk and balance sheet, trading many components of the capital structure profitably through all market cycles and macro events. Significant examples of these are the rise and fall of the Japanese equity market in the 80’s/90’s, the Russian Market collapse, the LTCM collapse, both in 1998, the bursting of the Dot-com bubble of 2000, Lehman’s ‘event’ GFC of 2008/2009. EMEA markets being re-priced as the asset class matured, 9/11…the list could go on.
The experience and knowledge gained from this journey, of trading Bull & Bear cycles, where asset valuations can be distorted, is at the core of the thesis.
From 2018 - 2020 one of the brothers, worked for a start-up crypto exchange and was able to see ‘under the hood’ of how the early crypto market operated.
The brothers have rarely been short term or momentum traders, this is not their expertise. Their investment portfolio outside of financial market assets has always been viewed predicated on applying a multi-decade timeframe.
Full Disclaimer.
This is not investment advice. We are not advocating any form of asset allocation.
We have initiated this process in view of what appears to be imminent positive regulatory changes for Crypto, in the US, and could this thesis be impacted by it.
We wish to stress, we are not predicting any price movements for any crypto asset, we simple wish to highlight a possible outcome for BCH.
Everyone should do their own research before making a decision.
This thesis is to instigate intellectual objectivity and discipline on this topic. | 2025-01-07 |

I want to start filecoin mining. I can build a 320TB machine with 1GB internet and 256GB RAM and a good video card? How do I get started? What is important to know? How much would the profit be? I would be grateful if I could get some help from an experienced miner :) | 2025-01-08 |

I can’t see this space being useful especially for the next decade. What’s the reason for the hype? Filecoin will never get CLOSE to its ATH because of its market cap and it’s practically useless. Am I wrong? | 2025-01-09 |
I've been holding crypto for years and recently won some ETH on Stake, so now I'm sitting on around $150k worth. It’s finally time to start DCA-ing out, but I want to make sure I do it legally and handle taxes properly.
For those who’ve cashed out significant amounts before, is Coinbase a good option? I’ve heard mixed things about fees and limits, but I like that it’s a well-known platform. Are there better alternatives for cashing out larger sums? Also, should I go through my bank directly or use a service like Coinbase’s USDC withdrawal to avoid red flags?
I’m in the US, so I know I’ll need to report everything and pay taxes, but I’m not sure the best way to document this properly or if I should hire a CPA who knows crypto. Would love to hear how others handled similar situations and any tips to keep this smooth and legal.
Thanks in advance! | 2025-01-10 |
I understand that weight copying has gone since an update not to long ago. This was a really big announcement and something people were pushing for a while. But I haven't heard much since.
What happened to those validators who were weight copying? Did they switch up and start doing the actual work? Did they leave the ecosystem?
How's the update affected the ecosystem? | 2025-01-10 |
With dtao, staking can be done on a per subnet basis, or on root (like it is done today)
Emissions between staking on root vs. staking on a subnet will change over time. The chart will look something like this:

I’ve been in crypto for a while now, and I get that 3-4x gains are pretty normal if you time things right. But those 50-100x stories? They always make me wonder…
Is it pure luck? Or are some people in the right circles, getting tipped off before the rest of us even know a coin exists?
Don’t get me wrong, I know research and timing play a role, but it’s hard to believe those insane gains are just from “DYOR.”
What do you think? Anyone have a theory (or a story) about how these moonshots really happen? | 2025-01-11 |
After some consideration, decided to get some BCH for the following reasons:
- There's a massive disbalance between BTC and BCH in terms of MC, given that BCH is a direct hardfork from BTC with a way better functionality, it really doesn't make much sense. Sure there are some other forks, like LTC, however they don't have word Bitcoin in it as far as I know, and in people's mind that breaks the connection with BTC
- BCH appears to roughly follow BTC price anyway, if BTC goes up - so does BCH. So it's likely that if BTC goes x3-x5 - so will BCH, with an added possibility of getting way higher than that because naturally people will look for "something like Bitcoin but cheaper". Seems highly unlikely that BTC goes up with BCH going down
- Better decentralisation than BTC
All in all, seems a good way to park some money. Add more reasons if you know them and i might buy some more lol.
What wallets are you guys using for BCH? | 2025-01-11 |
Wen dTAO?
- Soon(tm). Probably a month or so. It just went live on testnet yesterday (Jan 10th). Official timeline is “Q1 2025” (I.e Jan-Mar)
Do I need to unstake my tokens or do anything before dTAO?
- No, you don’t need to do anything. Normal staking gets renamed as root staking, and you don’t need to touch anything.
What happens to staking rewards if I don’t don’t do anything with dTAO?
- The “zero risk” root network $TAO staking rewards will gradually taper down over time as more emissions get sent to dTAO tokens. I don’t have exact numbers right now, but some graphs are coming soon to better visualize this.
[UPDATE] Please note that root network staking will only give Tao tokens and not any dTAO tokens. If you want dTAO tokens, you need to swap some Tao for a dTAO token you like and stake that instead.
Can I lose my Tao if I swap it for dTAO tokens?
- It’s like swapping Eth with for an Eth alt coin - it might moon and be worth more, it might tank and be worth less. Just like Eth alt coins are volatile trading pairs against Eth, dTAO tokens are volatile trading pairs against Tao.
Is there now going to be 2 tokens - Tao and dTAO?
- No, there will be thousands! Each subnet gets its own dTAO tokens, just like different alt coin projects on Eth
How do I buy dTAO? Can I do it from my wallet app?
- dTAO isn’t live yet (testnet only at the moment). Initially it’s probably going to be a bit complicated, but new front ends should be coming soon to simplify the process.
Once dTAO arrives, do validators still vote for emissions?
- No, this is one of the best things - the emissions will now be market driven based on how many people buy and sell what dTAO tokens”
What is the difference between CR3, EVM and dTAO?
- EVM is adding smart contracts like Eth, dTAO is replacing voting for emissions and each subnet will get a dTAO token like Eth has alt coins
- CR3 (Commit Reveal 3) is an anti-weight-copying tech that came out last month. Completely unrelated but had to happen before dTAO got here.

Hey,
As everyone knows, the new U.S. president, Trump, will officially take office on Jan. 20.
How do you think this will impact the crypto markets?
Do you think it will be the same scenario as what happened in last November? | 2025-01-11 |
Okay, so everyone remembers me when I gave you the 500 bagger play on $DJT in March and everyone made a ton of money. I also gave the $DJT play in Jan and in Sep 2024. Well we're back one final time.
I want to keep this DD super simple. $DJT is Trump's tech company he owns like 60% of called Trump Media & Technology Group. Everyone knows their earnings are shit but the company has NEVER traded based on earnings. The stock has been trading for 4 years now (first as DWAC now as DJT). If you look at the chart over the past 4 years the stock basically trades flat but has these insane 100% - 300% pumps for a week and then falls again. Let's look at what caused these insane run ups in the past.
* Nov 2022: Trump announces he was running for President - **Stock went up 100% in a week**
* Jan 2024: Trump wins Iowa Primary - **Stock went up 300% in a week**
* Jun 2024: First Presidential debate with Trump / Biden - **Stock went up 60% in a week**
* Sep/Oct 2024: Presidential Election run-up - **Stock went up 400% in a couple weeks**
The final play in my opinion is the Inauguration happening **Jan 20th** (next week). It's going to be the biggest event in the world that day, everyone's going to be there and Trump will officially be President of the United States. I believe $DJT is going to have an insane run-up starting on Monday (we were green Friday even though the market was blood red). My positions are below:

**Positions:** Shares and OTM calls. I believe the Inauguration run-up will start Monday. I could be wrong, but if I am wrong, this will be the first time there's a major event with Trump that $DJT did NOT run up. So I am 95% sure I'll be right. | 2025-01-11 |
Original post here: [Anyone make a large purchase with a visa gift card from Cake Pay? How'd it go? : r/Monero](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1hvhjfd/anyone_make_a_large_purchase_with_a_visa_gift/)
I was looking for a way to pay entirely with crypto to buy the top-tier Surface Pro 11. And through Cake Pay i got a $3500.00 visa gift card and it worked just fine. I paid, purchase accepted, item arrived. All is well (well except the device--that's likely going back, unfortunately. Apparently there is such a thing as r/pwm_sensitive on pwm/OLED screens and I have it).
I will say, however that the visa gift card has a lot of KYC involved--and I didn't try it with a fake name, as the price of the purchase was large enough I didn't want to risk the gift card failing as they do seem to function like a proper debit card: 16 digit number, expiration date, ccv code, etc.
And to be fair, KYC will almost always be an issue with an online purchase because ideally you want to actually receive the item. Even store gift cards have serial numbers, which may or may not be linked to the orders that were paid for with them. Best way to protect your privacy and personal information through use of gift cards is in person purchases, of course.
Anyhow i figured it might be useful for anyone else looking to purchase large cards through Cake Pay.

most memecoin is scam, they launch then they rug.
a coin launch in pumpfun then graduate to Raydium and all sell all and dev rug and run.
even a KOL can not know which is a winning memecoin.
I know a KOL buy $4000 of a memecoin then sell all after 1 day, now after 60 days it value 1.5M dollar with MC 200M, and he rebuy at this price.
i track list of KOL on gmgn.ai and see them all buy and sell immediately after few minutes, to get 50-200% profit and can lost 99% investment in few minutes.
Know that to evaluate your risk, dont be get farmed by them.
it gamble game, no value at all. Who run last will lost all money.
I used bot copy trade and with large volatile even slippage 30% cant sell at that time , bot keep failing. And then I lost all money with that coin.
Yes there alway a wining memecoin there with potential x1000 even x10,000, but with 50.000 memecoin launching a day , ~ 2M coin a month to find a hidden memecoin like wining a lotery.

The Monero General Fund is a crucial part of our ecosystem, supporting vital projects and development. However, the absence of a transparency report for 2 years, despite previous commitments to regular reporting, raises serious concerns. This significant delay warrants a thorough investigation.
Until a comprehensive accounting of the fund's activities and finances is provided, and the reasons for this prolonged delay are clearly explained, we believe it's prudent to pause donations to the General Fund. Donors deserve transparency and accountability. We urge the community to consider directing their support to individual projects within the Monero ecosystem until these concerns are addressed. This temporary measure is intended to encourage responsible stewardship of community funds and restore trust in the General Fund's management. | 2025-01-12 |

Hello r/Monero! I'm excited to share a project I've been working on - Kabus, an open source marketplace script built with PHP 8.3 and Laravel 11.
Kabus aims to contribute to the Monero ecosystem by providing a foundation for building privacy focused marketplaces. It is inspired by Eckmar's marketplace script, I wanted to create something more modern and flexible that could serve as a core structure for various (legitimate of course) Monero marketplaces.
The current release (v0.7.2) includes common marketplace features and initial Monero integration for vendor registration.
**Some key features of Kabus Script:**
* No JavaScript required for browser
* Full PGP integration with 2FA support
* Custom DDoS protection with unique Rhombus Captcha
* Monero Wallet RPC integration for vendor registration (Escrow for transactions is on the way)
* Monero return address validation page for Escrow in future
* Well designed user, vendor, and admin panels
* Mnemonic recovery system for users
* \--Classic marketplace essentials including:
* Wishlist and product management (no editing for now)
* Public user/vendor profiles and dashboards
* Built-in messaging system
* Support ticket system
* Rules section
* Educational guides (currently featuring KeePassXC and Monero tutorials, with more to come - contributors welcome!)
Kabus Script is still under active development, with major updates planned through April 2025. I'm working on implementing a walletless escrow system, dispute resolution, and expanding the Monero integration.
**I'd love your feedback on:**
* Security considerations and potential vulnerabilities
* Feature suggestions for future releases
* General improvements for better user experience
My goal is to make Kabus as flexible and customizable as possible, allowing anyone to build their own Monero marketplace. You can find the project on GitHub \[[https://github.com/sukunetsiz/kabus](https://github.com/sukunetsiz/kabus)\]. PRs, issues, and discussions are all welcome!
Looking forward to your feedbacks! And if you find the project interesting, don't forget to drop a ⭐ on GitHub :) | 2025-01-12 |

Hey guys, ever wonder why Monero ($XMR) is still ranked in the top 50 market caps even though most centralized exchanges (CEXs) have delisted it? It's simple—real privacy matters. Unlike Bitcoin, which is fully traceable, Monero keeps your transactions private and fungible. That means no one can snoop on your wallet or blacklist your coins just because they were once used in a sketchy transaction. Monero uses Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Dandelion++ to make sure your transactions are private by default, unlike Bitcoin, where transparency is baked into the system.
Now, let’s talk about the tech behind it. Monero is built on the RandomX algorithm, which makes it ASIC-resistant, meaning mining is done on CPUs and GPUs, so it's not dominated by huge mining farms like Bitcoin, which are mostly located in China. This keeps the network more decentralized and accessible to regular people. The block size in Monero is adaptive to demand, so unlike Bitcoin's fixed 1MB block size, Monero adjusts its block size to keep fees super low—like $0.01 to $0.04 per transaction. That’s compared to Bitcoin, where during high traffic periods, you can end up paying $50+ just to send a transaction. With Monero, you’re getting privacy, security, and low fees, all wrapped up in one. It’s truly the privacy coin that Bitcoin noobs think they’re getting but don't. Monero is the digital gold that can’t be tracked or controlled, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

The principle is simple: ask anything you'd like to know about Monero, especially the dumb questions that you've been keeping for you every other days, may the community clarify it all!

[Haveno-dex](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno), and so [RetoSwap ](https://retoswap.com/)(formerly Haveno-reto), have implemented a [feature ](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/pull/1463)for buying XMR without the need of a [security deposit](https://docs.haveno.exchange/the-project/trade-protocol/), although it's needed by one of the parts of the exchange, in this case the seller. This is ideal for first time buyers and people who don't want to leave traces of involvement in the purchase of cryptocurrencies.
This [works ](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/1464)via selling offers with a passphrase that buyers have to obtain in order to proceed with the purchase. To obtain it, the sellers can (1) describe a method of contact (through some third party messaging service, email or whatever), (2) put the passwords publicly in the description of the offer for everyone to see (accepting the risk that their coins might get locked for a week) or (3) only do 0% offers with their contacts or people whom they already have a relationship and trust.
>For a Taker buying XMR who supplies a valid password, they can accept a sell offer which has an associated security deposit without supplying their own security deposit. They can NOT accept a sell offer which has no security deposit attached (exit XMR type of offer), unless they do provide their own security deposit.
This method of purchasing XMR has risks associated: I recommend reading the topics "[Is Haveno anymore secure than trading with a reputable exchange?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1h4icot/is_haveno_anymore_secure_than_trading_with_a/)*"* and "[Is Haveno/Retoswap decentralized?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1hxwjzg/comment/m6k9flk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)".
Alternatives to obtain XMR anonymously, like mining or selling goods or services in markets like [XmrBazaar](http://XmrBazaar.com), are more tedious and not suited for everyone.
Swapping another crypto for XMR in no KYC swap [services ](https://kycnot.me/)entails for first time buyers or for people who don't want to show involvement with cryptocurrencies to, in the first place, buy another coin in a KYC exchange or to obtain it via other ways (like those described before). It's a paradoxical situation: "in order to obtain Monero you have to obtain Bitcoin, for example, and swap it for Monero. But for obtaining Bitcoin in a non KYC way, you have to swap this other crypto..." | 2025-01-13 |

A fellow r/Monero member inquired about Monero in Japan, as I have inquired about buying some here, and I found myself replying with more questions myself, so posting my response here in the community in case anyone has any information that can be helpful to others:
Appreciate your inquiry. Sorry I won’t be much help though. I never did end up buying any, nor have I ever done so, Japan or anywhere else. While dabbling in the prospect I discovered that Tokyo used to have bitcoin atm machines, along with map overlays for locating one nearby. They were all taken offline around 2017 under the guise of security risk. Today it seems like the only way to get hold of any monero is in-person, which seemed somewhat feasible while localmonero still existed. Since then I have made no effort to persue it further, but my intentions remain. As for bitcoin kiosks, like everywhere else, crypto has become associated with investment trading, and even the larger entities involved within Japan seem to attract the type that would invest in the stock exchange, FX trading, etc. not utility.
Keeping in mind I am not a native Japanese speaker, I have noticed a massive barrier of entry in Japan when it comes to social groups relying heavily on information exchange: no English. If you cannot read Japanese, it is hard to know where to even start, especially considering how common it is for Japanese locals to shy away from speaking English or trusting someone who they cannot converse with adequately.
That said, I doubt there are no Japanese-language-based platforms that folks around here use for such intentions. Not easy for someone like me to find and tap into though.
If anyone knows more than I do, or can correct me if I’m wrong about any of this, that would be helpful! It all seems overly enigmatic! | 2025-01-13 |

The idea is that Monero could operate as a sidechain to BCH, with RandomX miners independently securing the sidechain, while BCH's SHA-256 miners remain focused on the main chain. This would allow assets like BCH to move seamlessly between the two chains through a trustless two-way peg. Meanwhile, BCH could benefit from expanded utility and interoperability without compromising its core mining infrastructure.
It feels like a solution that could respect the principles of both communities while expanding utility and collaboration. Just sharing some thoughts what do you all think? | 2025-01-14 |
I was curious if anybody has a 4 5 year experience of hodling and if it is easy regarding the psychology you have seeing all those rallies and dumpings without reacting. | 2025-01-14 |
It's established that Monero is not seen favorably by state actors, who would love to either get rid of it or infiltrate it (irs bounty, chainalysis efforts, etc...).
Now what if men in black suits would give a visit to various Monero devs and incite/bribe/threaten them into coding backdoors into the new FCMP?
Is that a real life possibility, and how likely is it? I'm curious what everybody here thinks? | 2025-01-14 |
The subnet registration fee is gone, which is great as it lowers the barrier for starting a project with Bittensor. Plus every now and again OpenTensor expands the number of subnets that can be registered.
But at what point does the number get too high? Not every idea needs a subnet. If the ecosystem is filled with low-quality or poorly thought-out subnets, then won't it harm Bittensor's reputation?
Additionally, subnets need miners and validators to function on them, and the setup is unqiue for each subnet, which means that many people cannot easily begin mining and validating on another subnet with ease. The Bittensor ecosystem isn't huge, so more subnets might not align with how many active participants we currently have.
This is not to say that having any new subnets is a bad idea, but more so to just pose the question and see what people think?
More activity on Bittensor is definately good, and increased attenton from subnets is surely helpful. I'm more so just considering potential downsides.

Hi,
First of all, I'm not very familiar with checksums and with Linix Fedora. I've downloaded Retoswap (1.0.17 rpm) from Github but when I open the command line and run "sha256sum filename", it comes up with a different string of numbers and letters than the ones on the hashes.txt file. What am I doing wrong?

Over a decade ago, I made a bold promise: if Bitcoin ever hit $100,000, I’d get a Bitcoin symbol tattooed on my face. Well, here we are, and I’m ready to follow through! Recently, some Reddit detectives unearthed my old comment, and now it feels like the entire crypto community is watching, waiting. So why not make this a proper event?
My wife is going to be the one tattooing me, and we plan to livestream the whole thing.
What day/time would get the most people watching? (Thinking a weekend to maximize attendance.) Suggestions on platforms or fun elements to add? Should I make sure my mom is present on the live stream? | 2025-01-14 |

*It was suggested I re-post this, as the extract got held up for a couple of days by an auto-moderator:*
Here's an extract from a longer article I wrote about paying for Mullvad VPN with Monero:
...I will also describe how **payment for a Mullvad subscription can be done with Monero** (XMR), which makes using Mullvad VPN entirely anonymous, as it does not require an email address, username or password.
\[...\]
On first purchase, I was surprised **not** to be asked for identifying information, such as an email address, a username and a password. Instead, Mullvad VPN works with an account number, which reminds me of the use of license keys in audio software.
\[...\]
I want to take a moment to pause and consider the simplicity of this anonymous transaction mechanism. It makes me wonder: Why don't more companies sell digital products in this way? It is clearly possible.
In a physical shop, anonymous cash transactions are (still) accepted. When I buy gum, or a newspaper, I don't need to give the shopkeeper my name and address in order to take the item home. But in online commerce this type of anonymous transaction is so rare, that when you see it in action, you're surprised it is even possible.
It takes is a willingness on the part of the seller to stop storing user identifying information just because they can. A given user can always reveal themselves at a later point, should they need support with the product, for example, and this is how it works for Mullvad subscribers.
Combine Mullvad's account number system with the anonymity that comes with physical or digital cash, and you end up with a unique experience: a legal and fully anonymous transaction for a product that you can use.
It is possible to go even further in terms of anonymity, and pay for your Mullvad VPN subscription in hard cash—you send them an envelope with your account number and the cash, and your subscription will be extended. But it is also possible (and easier, and more reliable) to pay for your VPN subscription with digital cash.
**Paying for Mullvad with Monero**
I've [written about Monero](https://theprivacydad.com/blog/?q=monero) before. While I don't really need cryptocurrencies in my life, I became interested in Monero through privacy podcasts and articles.
Monero, or 'XMR' as it is (or, was) called on exchanges, is a ledger-based digital currency. It is my understanding that currently only a handful of cryptocurrencies come close to providing the anonymity of a physical cash transaction, and Monero is one of those.
Monero is appealing because it has a vibrant community and a relatively long record of stable development. You can of course never tell, but, having spent a number of years following its development and participating in the communities, I feel confident Monero is not a cash-grab or a scam.
I learned how to use Monero, and created digital wallets for myself and family members, including the kids. During one of my restless tinkering spells, I set up a Monero mining rig on an unused computer, and it continues to run to this day, churning out symbolic fractions of XMR each week, if I am lucky.
The slow accumulation of mined XMR on that old computer is sometimes *just* enough to pay for another month's subscription with Mullvad.
You have to experience it to know, but it feels groundbreaking to be able to pay for a legal digital product without disclosing your identity, and with anonymous digital money that you've mined yourself. Very satisfying, but also important. It proves to me that **this type of payment model is viable**, and therefore presents the possibility of a much better form of capitalism than the total surveillance nightmare we are nosediving into today.
If the anonymous consumer transaction experience were more common, then I *would* have a practical use for Monero or any other private cryptocurrency. At the moment, however, it appears we are headed in the **opposite direction**. We'll be seeing the roll out of Central Bank Digital Currencies, probably in the near future, which is a form of digital cash that has customer and citizen tracing built in.
\[...\]
I want to keep experiencing the joy of fully anonymous transactions. I love that Mullvad VPN have forgone the possible benefits to them of [keeping track](https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy) of their customers.
I hope more products and platforms will follow Mullvad's lead and stop requiring user information and data, just because they can. If this type of transaction were to become more mainstream, it could lead to a healthier Internet and society.

# Bitcoin made an interesting move today
I think with the $97k touch we saw today, bitcoin is ready for the next leg up.
I know it seems too soon, which is why it probably happens.
We broke above the midline in the channel which usually dictates direction, IE a break above means we going up and a break below means we going down.
This was a bigger move than expected and due to it I think it means the bull market is back on!

We all think tao should be trading multiples of current price, but why is it dropping more when in comparison with virtual protocol?
Why are the collective subnets not worth more than virtual protocol?
I am confident 80% of CT knows tao and understand tao but money is not flowing into tao...
Does it mean most do not think tao is viable to produce something valuable in the years, months, weeks to come?
Are they not confident with dtao?
Why are folks like const and joseph not concern with the drop in price?
To those jokers that say price is not an issue, I do hope you crazies are millionaires... if not please do not shit from your mouth.
We/I need price to reflect the fundamentals of tao.
We/I need the foundation to come out with more incentives for folks to introduce tao to the normies.
We/I need price to go up.
EVERYONE is saying more tao are being staked daily but why is price being suppressed?
If tao is the chosen coin, why is it at this price?
If tao's fundamentals are so good, why aren't more folks buying?
If we are so clever with our decision, why are we still in the trenches?
If we are so clever, why aren't we rich?
And if you look at it's chart...
Tao has not surpass it's ATH (april '24).
Virtual protocol had went parabolic end '24 and it's recovering better from it's dip last week compared to tao.
Are we blinded by const and tao's so called open tokenomics? When in actual fact this could just be another xrp that will remain in this range for the next 5 years? | 2025-01-15 |
I tried reading into JAM a bit, not sure I completely understand it yet.
I am eager for blockchain tech to gather more usecases than just speculation, IIUC JAM enables the following:
1. Make running your own parachain, or “service” in JAM with no need for collators.
2. Services can be parachains or other things, what are these other things?
3. Smart contracts.
4. Smart contracts and services can be written as if they run on a normal computer while disregarding the fact that the underlying is a blockchain.
5. More scale, faster transactions.
6. The “in core” concept, RAM like blockspace that is not persistent to allow faster computations.
So which real world usecases are not possible at the moment that JAM will enable? | 2025-01-15 |
I didn't believe in cryptocurrencies because it's not true that they guarantee privacy and then to get to hold crypto you have to go behind a centralized body.. I never discovered monero I'm reading a book "master monero the future of private transaction" I'm understanding how big and important monero is and all the people who contribute to this project.. you are great 👍 congratulations | 2025-01-15 |
Filecoin collaborations with Solana and other networks makes it a more attractive platform for investment. Usability wise, it is a cloud like decentralized storage system so in terms of real world usage it has a purpose. Technically speaking as a trader big volumes has been placing since its lows from last year until now, still anything can happen in the market. But if my prediction is right it breakout and reach 61 usd or contest 81 usd. (Im using tradingview binance platform) Let see where will the price action gonna be, personally ive placed mine since last year. Always manage your positions and risk management. | 2025-01-15 |

I bought all my XRP at £1.06 I think it was, and just decided to sell it at £2.44. Which is around the $2.99 level
I was happy with the profits it gave me.
This is my very first time selling ever. I just wasn't sure when to take the profits and I know everyone is saying XRP will keep going up so maybe it's a silly decision. But I was quite happy with the profits so thought it seemed like a good point to get out.
Out of 10, how silly do you think I was to get out now? | 2025-01-15 |

Hey there,
What’s the current status of monero-lws by vtnerd?
Will it ever be merged into the Monero core project, or are there any plans to integrate it into popular wallets? As far as I know, you can use MyMonero to connect to monero-lws, but it would be great if it were integrated into the official Monero software or alternative wallets like Feather Wallet, Cake Wallet, or other popular and reputable wallets.
I think this would make using Monero much easier, as it would eliminate the need to wait for syncing—especially over the TOR network.
Thanks in advance, and a big thanks to the Monero community! I hope Monero will gain more attention and that people will better understand the importance of privacy in a decentralized blockchain-based monetary system. | 2025-01-15 |
This is not my story but was told to me directly by a coworker. He told me that got caught up on BTC when the price was around $60 or so. He decided to go "all in" and took his life savings at the time around $18K and purchased 333 BTC. I guess that number had some special meaning for him. Well BTC went up to around $200 and he was cheering!!! But it took a rapid dump to $100 or so and he panic sold ALL of them. Ugh. So now he's got to work for a living just like the rest of us fools always wondering "what if? ..." | 2025-01-15 |
I have to say I was very spectical of FIL until I found Juan Benets videos on YouTube. I know that may sounds funny but hearing that man talk about the future of this project with so much passion was amazing and really took away so many doubts I had. If your doubting FIL I highly recommend looking up the Filecoinfondation on YT and checking out some of his videos or just any of their videos in general. | 2025-01-16 |
Bitcoin leaving a mark forever... | 2025-01-16 |
Based on the posts and comments on this sub, I feel like we should discuss Market Cap for the newer people on here. However, I have found that even the Veterans make mistakes here.
As stated in the Title, price is irrelevant. Price of the coin does not matter at all, *it’s just a reference point*. Market Cap tells the *actual* value of the coin.
For those who don’t know:
***Market Cap = Price of currency x total supply***
When you are looking at a crypto, and only basing it on the Price, you are missing the main component of determining value.
Here’s an Example:
+ Coin A has a price of $1 and a Market Cap $100 Billion.
+ Coin B has a price of $1 and a market Cap of $100 million.
+ Coin A increased its market Cap by $1 Billion, that’s a Gain of 1%, price increased to
$1.01
+ Coin B Market Cap increases by the same amount, that’s a Gain of roughly 1000% and price increased to $11.
In that example, Coin B outperforms Coin A significantly and it was all due to size of Market Cap.
When I see these Memecoins with a price of $0.0000001 and a supply of Billions, I believe these are all just scams meant to create bag holders….
People see the coin at $0.000001 and think *”When it hits $1 I will be a Billionaire”* And I feel bad for them honestly. What they don’t realize is that coin already has a Market Cap of $1 Billion+. For that coin to hit $1, the Market Cap would have to be $100 Trillion, or the value of the entire world’s stock market. This will never happen, and people will HODL forever thinking someday it will hit. It won’t.
The entire crypto Market Cap right now is $3.3 Trillion. It was about $4 Trillion during the last ATH. Bitcoin has a market cap of around $2 Trillion, which is about 60% of the entire market.
For reference Tesla is $1.37 Trillion at this time. Apple is around $3.5 Trillion.
So, for you to think your shitcoin is going to someday be worth 20-30X the value of Apple, probably never going to happen. But if you were only looking at price, you wouldn’t see this.
With all the hype and speculation going on, you want to be able to decipher what assets are undervalued. People with no understanding of this are the loudest in the room, and they think you are going to pump their bags or worst, take them.
Being able to identify undervalued market caps has been a key factor for me on a bunch of successful trades. When the market starts to pump, it leaves a lot of stuff behind. This is where the value is found. Keep in mind that, many of these alts are still down 95% from their ATH. When price discovery occurs, you can see some crazy gains depending on how low the market cap has gone.
***EDIT #1: Thank you all for the constructive engagement on this post. I am actually surprised how many people are appreciating this post, and it shows me there still may be some hope left for us. Someone pointed out another important understanding when it comes to Market Cap- the difference between “Total Supply” and “Circulating Supply.”***
1) Total Supply is the Total amount of Coins that were minted.
2) Circulating Supply is the Total amount of coins that are “in circulation”.
Example: *If Circulating Supply is 90%, and there is 1 Million Total Supply, then that means there is 100,000 that has not been released by Devs. This can cause major problems if they decide to liquidate, as they would be Diluting the Market Cap. If the Market Cap of Said coin is $1 Billion, and this is based on a Circulating Supply of 900,000 this means each coin is worth $11.11 If the Market Cap remains the same, but now all coins are in circulation, this means the price is now $10 per coin. Meaning you lost roughly 10% and nothing changed as far as the value of the coin. This is why I never buy coins with less than 95% of coins in Circulation.* | 2025-01-16 |
The key is filtering and scanning the market until something pops up and fits my criteria.
Realistically 99% of projects get rugged, daily there are **1-3** winners that will continue to hold, keep running and blossom into serious projects. Always **DO YOUR RESEARCH. (This is not financial advice, merely just what has been working for me.)**
**Strategy**
1. Get [**Photon**](https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@faster_trades)
2. Go to Memescope
3. Filter newly created 30% pump progress, 25 holders, 15% dev, 10% insider (this is a risky way of trading) but also provides the most upside for potential gains. I avoid wash traded coins by filtering the volume -MC: $11-25K -Volume: 2400-10K (You will make the most gains and lose the most money if you're not cautious trading these extremely low mc plays) I only trade like this when I feel like gambling.
4. I don't look at the coins: - that were created 10 seconds ago - that are pumping too fast - that are already on high price most are just straight pump and straight dumps
5. I Look at the: 3-5 minute ago created coins - dev sold/dev bought again - 25+ holders
6. A safer way to trade (this is for more or less low mc utility plays) is to filter graduated 700-800+ holders, there will be less likely of a chance of rugging since there are more holders with an established floor. These projects should be in the 100k-500k levels by now. Even if you buy into coins that are above 1m market cap there are high possibilities it can go up to 5m, 10m even 100m+. Last week I bought into $vine at 13m and I rode it up all the way to 110m. Of course, it than hit 450m+.
7. I feel more confident when the coins have socials attached such as a Twitter, Telegram, or Website. Now this doesn't necessarily mean these projects are legit.
8. I Make sure there is a concept novel and a vision, something different not just a copy and paste project. - The dev is doxxed and has shared his progress prior to launch - There is a Github with believable comments - The Product seems to be working - There is mentions from other devs / experts when searching for the ticker.
* **Twitter** \- I check the age the account was created, if it was created the day of the drop or even a few days ago it's probably going to be a pump and dump. I pay attention to the comments people are making under their posts, whether they are calling them ruggers, scammers etc. Those who are making bullish comments under the posts I check their accounts, recent tweets, then I check their follower and following counts, this is all precautions to ensure they are not bots.
* Having a twitter that is linked to the "DEV" is always bullish, again I make sure it is a real dev and not a botted one. It's important to note that the dev actually claimed the coin as theirs via a tweet from **their** account. Contract address should be shared by project/ dev account.
* **Telegram group** \- I check if there are active people in their, who are **REAL**.
* **Website** \- Must be unique, with a lot of work put into it. This shows they have spent time and money to make it, ruggers usually do a lazy job with no effort on websites.
* ⁃ Constantly refresh the project page as well as the ticker search on x, you want to be looking for ⁃Other callers picking it up ⁃ Bullish or bearish news which might change your conviction level ⁃ Updates from the project itself which might be bullish - Regardless of the quality of the project there will be serious retraces along the way up.
* Always check bubble maps which is implemented into [**Photon**](https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@faster_trades) already to make sure the coin is not bundled. You can also ➬ Visit: [https://rugcheck.xyz](https://t.co/RlyQtqGfAx) or [https://solsniffer.com](https://t.co/mPi0BECTEt) ➬ Check the overall security of the contract and try to make sure there are no serious vulnerabilities. Even if new tokens might have active mint authority or unsecured liquidity, you can still spot clear warning signs like ongoing honey pots or questionable deployer addresses.
* Once I'm up on a coin I always take initial investments out, this way I ride the rest of the way for free.
* Quick tip (a whale tracker is helpful) to see where the smart money is going [https://t.me/WhaleWatchAlert](https://t.me/WhaleWatchAlert) this is actually one of my favorite tools.

Among the people who first got into Bitcoin, many started businesses or actively used it.
A few might've mined it, got bored, stopped, forgot about it until the price rose and then regained their interest.
When the price first rose significantly, more waves of pure speculators arrived. Many of whom initially dismissed Bitcoin: the peer to peer electronic cash system (at the time - e.g. up to ~ 2014).
The number of people who took an interest in really using it as currency has been dwarfed by the number of people who have been attracted for no reason other than to seemingly 'make easy money' by buying and holding. Very often holding it on some custodial service instead of even really 'owning' the coins by holding their own private keys.
This situation of course pleased market makers who run the crypto exchanges and other gateways into and out of Bitcoin & other tokens.
A huge zoo of price-manipulated tokens has been created, of which many have no real utility and have only been created as get-rich-quick schemes, to be pumped and dumped or rug-pulled on less savvy "investors".
__The question of "how do we get to a sound financial system?" has been swept under the table by hype and propaganda.__
The relatively small number of people who currently benefit from the price increase in Bitcoin and other cryptos is what is seen and marketed.
Those who lose out are not advertised much. They are often painted as having done something wrong. Like selling when they needed money instead of holding on until eternity.
I don't think anyone counts up the losers, and compares their numbers to those who "won" the lottery.
Yet, this is part of what will shape public perception of the utility of cryptocurrency in the longer term.
Anyone who's been to a casino knows that the house keeps an advantage, and unless you're an inveterate gambler, you probably wouldn't consider your money spent there as an investment, but rather be prepared to kiss it goodbye.
To me, that's a key difference between a real currency and a mere speculative asset. | 2025-01-16 |
Complete with your suggestions.
Mine would be very firmly:
> ... stop treating every spend of crypto as a taxable event
Then it could actually be used like currency, like money, by ordinary people, making cryptocurrency much more useful and valuable. | 2025-01-16 |
