4. risk
delays!
plus if you really think about it,
5. bull case
cuz we’re goin to the moon mothafuckas!
see also: securing NASA contracts and successful mission milestones position then for future growth
competitive advantages: CURRENTLY THE ONLY COMPANY DOING LUNAR
EXPLORATION!! put it this way, rklb or spacex or whoever makes the rockets, and lunr helps research and prepare for human colonization. strong partnerships with organizations like NASA and Nokia.
nasa and lunr just had a conference this afternoon where lunr said they are also planning on missions to mars in the future.
6.
not financial advice.
my price target for eoy: $40
my current positions attached somewhere
(once these print i will be buying shares with the proceeds)
tldr;
lunr has proven themselves in lunar exploration, backed by major NASA contracts and successful mission milestones. they have huge growth potential, nasa, mission to the moon this month, nokia cellular. | 2025-02-08 |
I've found [https://taoyield.com/](https://taoyield.com/) to be a pretty reliable indicator of current APRs. These will go down over time, so expecting this over 4/5 years would not be correct. the latest dTAO upgrade will gradually reduce emissions. Also emissions are on a halvening schedule like BTC. Believe this still remains post dTAO.

I need your opinions if this a feasible idea, something similar to sol sniper bot but with a higher level of customization:
\- automatically scans dexscreener for new tokens on it
\- it checks the token using the solana sniffer API to determine the potential risk level
\- if the risk level is low, it buys the token
\- after a certain % of profit it sells the token
Problems i find with this:
\- speed - i probably need to spend a 1-2k extra for this bot to be among the fast ones when purchasing coins
\- i wanted to add a part where it checks the social buzz and mentions of the token to give me an idea it if is something community backed, but the twitter API could be a problem there as i want this token check to run every minute
Do you think its worth building this kind of bot to automate the trades, get the promising tokens early and sell them? | 2025-02-08 |
Browsing through hundreds of charts and posts, it’s evident that March and April would be good to recover losses and make probably 2-3x on top. Followed by May dump, June Dump, July dump recovery, August positive support and September profits, October top notch.
Personal assumption. What do you’ll think? | 2025-02-08 |
Where did u get the 60% number from? that does not exhist / happen . General (now) it is more like 15-18% , but that will all change when Dtao drops by next week and than there will be different staking options , on root or on SN direct with Dtao | 2025-02-08 |
I'm testing some scalping strategies on the 1min - 5min timeframes manually and have like 5-6 charts for different altcoins opened up. ALL the altcoins are following the SAME price pattern, like, visually it flows and curves almost exactly the same. I'm getting indicator notifications for 3 different coins at the same time lmao when I expected to place trades at different times, therefore increasing my trading volume. Anyway, why is that? Is it all just Bitcoin dominance related? | 2025-02-08 |
No. I gave up and haven't bothered looking into it further. There were too many steps. Such a poorly thought out design and implementation means it's not worth it. | 2025-02-08 |
Have 40k from a settlement payout. Looking to invest into crypto. New to crypto entirely. Have never purchased. Stocks are kinda stagnant right now and this is money I can afford to lose. Anyways, I’m looking into ethereum, bitcoin, and xrp. Leaning most towards xrp. Everyone I’ve asked says ethereum moves slower than any other coin. Bitcoin is probably safest I assume. I don’t know much about xrp but some random crypto bro told me it’s gonna make a run bigger than ethereum in 2021. Feel free to share your thoughts. I’m clueless. Also I know investing during a bull run is kinda stupid but again, I’m willing to hold long term. Oh and doge? Any potential there or is that just elons meme coin at this point?

After losing 1600 dollars on IWM 0dte puts, revenge traded 4 84C right before close (literally got filled at 3:59). Sold @ open, should've held or at least let one run but hindsight always 20/20. | 2025-02-08 |
I got BURNED BIG TIME when I bought a call at the TIPPY TOP of MTSR run and I’m not making that mistake again… I’m putting all my chips against PLTR because YOLO because 590 P/E is ridiculous because these greedy pigs have been at the trough for too long and it’s time for BACON extra crispy | 2025-02-08 |
This scale down with Amazon was accelerated by UPS because the margins were thin and using up their workforce to sustain it. Even Amazon said their deliveries are too costly for them which is why they depended on UPS. Don't think people understood that this will increase revenue. It's currently still down almost 10%, I think this will recover nicely in 2025. volume is good with low IV

For context, I bought some cheap ass calls and made out like a bandit. Made my first post and had like zero info so i got dragged over the coals. My bad, I deserved it.
Below is my order from beginning to end. Keep in my I'm not the most experienced trader so correct me anywhere I'm wrong. I'll try to answer questions to the best of my ability.
While window shopping the 24HR market on RH for something I could afford. Like 100$. I found AZPN and they showed a pretty strong 1 YR growth. So I decided to look at their call options because I love to throw away my money.
https://preview.redd.it/o9tuniagothe1.png?width=1910&format=png&auto=webp&s=60a1550499e9f983ca4b5de76f59847aebe8213b
On 2/4 RH was showing the AZPN $270 call option w/ a 4/17 exp. for $.030 as well as a $270 call w/ a 7/18 exp. for $.060. Who wouldn't take those odds!? Famous last words lol. AZPN had extremely low volume at the time of finding this little nugget. Does this explain the low cost of the call option? Could someone have possibly been shorting and entered a really low ask? Not as well versed in this as most of you.
https://preview.redd.it/ot5eh49vothe1.png?width=1896&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca92c4e6b4637c0cd3a149bf7ad1ca1b88b400fb
Note, AZPN is still showing some cheap-ish $290 calls expiring 7/18. I bought more coz YOLO. This is not investment advise. I'm just a regard.
https://preview.redd.it/iohc7r3ntthe1.png?width=1347&format=png&auto=webp&s=4dabc0dbe5cd424cd2ba6ebe9ed3ae79a67bd592
Moved to my Schwab acct where I actually had money and placed the first call option at 2:30 AM for market open. I did not think they would actually execute as I thought it was a mistake. It executed so I placed a second order. Each order costing me $600.
https://preview.redd.it/45y4tfnurthe1.png?width=1739&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dd3912139ed94eb38ac251996fe0fc21dad46b7
Fast forward to this morning and AZPN rose quickly and my calls had gained more than 1000%. I made 2 crucial mistakes though. I woke up at 11AM and missed out on thousands more. I also did not place a limit when closing on my first position as I was to busy wiping after shitting myself resulting on missing out on a couple thousand more. My order closed at the bid price making me a profit of $13,400. Lesson learned but still glad I got a W.

Also I'm still holding my second order expiring 7/18.

All in all, a great experience. Especially after years of what feels like losing. Mostly because it was losing. Time to go send it on something and lose it all!
Thanks and happy trading!

# Previous Meeting Recap and Votes
https://preview.redd.it/e30rrhdr6uhe1.png?width=741&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc118a33d01b1a7bca12078a405f782ff268b22d
https://preview.redd.it/chefjl2t6uhe1.png?width=1593&format=png&auto=webp&s=61d8a51f06dc19b96336394f6d09d7b52c53583e
It was the first time BOE policymakers were unanimous to cut rates this week by 0.25% to policy rate of 4.50% since the easing cycle starting in August 2024 where it was a close call at 5-4 in favour of rate cuts, and the other rate cut in November 2024 was voted at 8-1. In fact it was the first time policymakers were unanimous since November 2022 where it was a unanimous rate hike (there were 5 unanimous rate hikes in a row from May-November 2022).
# Bank of England Hawks and Doves
Let’s analyze the BOE policymakers in detail using the Hawk/Dove data from InTouch Capital Markets:
https://preview.redd.it/29wiawcw6uhe1.png?width=1438&format=png&auto=webp&s=45db4eed3e246a01486706d9b5167ab7caa03b3b
1. Bailey (Governor): Dovish (-1), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Cut
2. Lombardelli (Deputy Governor, Monetary Policy): Dovish (-1), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Cut
3. Breeden (Deputy Governor, Financial Stability): Dovish (-2), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Cut
4. Ramsden (Deputy Governor, Markets and Banking): Dovish (-2), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Cut-Cut
5. Pill (Chief Economist): Hawkish (+2), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Cut
6. Greene (External Member): Hawkish (+3), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Cut
7. Mann (External Member): Hawkish (+4), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Hold-Hold
8. Taylor (External Member): Dovish (-4), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Cut-Cut
9. Dhingra (External Member): Dovish (-6), Past 3 meeting votes = Cut-Cut-Cut
Net score of all members is -7, so the whole BOE is net dovish, which validates market expectations of more rate cuts to come this year. Interesting to note that even with hawkish members going up to a +4 score, Governor Bailey managed to convince them to all vote unanimously to cut interest rates at their first meeting this year.
# Final Thoughts and Crypto Impact
A net dovish BOE is good for crypto markets because rate cuts benefit risk assets. After strong employment data and seemingly sticky inflation from the US, crypto needs all the help it can get from other global central banks including the BOE (and hopefully the ECB too) to cut rates. Additionally, if tariffs are imposed on the UK, it will further put downward pressure on the economy and inflation due to lower demand for their exports, potentially leading to even more rate cuts being required.

Just some info currently i am reading Roger vers book on hijacking bitcoin but one thing that isn't making sense to me is that btc code is controlled by a group of developers that only allow changes that they agree. My question now is what would have happened if back in 2016 if the miners simply stopped listening to the devs. | 2025-02-08 |

2.7k > 8k > 1.8k went to the bar, checking my account around close back to 10k. About 150 trades later to 40k+, back to losing half off it in one trade. Might not belong here since still up ~16k € YTD with the 2.7k depo, flair might be seen as gain but losing money sucks.

In a shocking turn of events, private equity firm BlackCanyon Capital has completed a hostile takeover of *every single dumpster* behind Wendy’s locations across the nation. Once a haven for financially distressed bears, opportunistic raccoons, and that one guy named Bearhunter, these dumpsters have now been rebranded as “Premium Urban Waste Repositories™,” with subscription-based access starting at $49.99 a month.
Former dumpster resident *Barry the Bear*, once living large on half-eaten Baconators, was found wandering a suburban Costco parking lot, clutching a sign that read: *"Will suck for tendies."* Meanwhile, bears have resorted to extreme measures, including forming underground “trash-sharing co-ops” and launching a class-action lawsuit against BlackCanyon, alleging “extreme market manipulation of garbage futures.”
Critics warn this is just the beginning. “First it was housing, then it was water, now it’s the damn dumpsters,” said an anonymous economist, visibly eating a Cheeseburger in his car. “If we don’t stop this, we’re looking at a future where seagulls have to take out *loans* just to raid a Taco Bell parking lot.” Meanwhile, BlackCanyon has announced plans to launch an NFT-based ownership model for individual garbage bags, ensuring that even the scraps of America remain firmly in the hands of hedge funds. | 2025-02-08 |
Latest insights from IntoTheBlock have revealed that about 100% of ARB holders are not in profit.
The insight first shared [on X](https://x.com/Altcoin_daddy/status/1887839966350172474) by Altcoin\_daddy, is backed by concrete data from IntoTheBlock that indicate ARB is suffering extreme negative sentiment and potential bottom formation.
https://preview.redd.it/p7v2zy7g9uhe1.jpg?width=1062&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25be48a8e2a31bf3208ff41245750a689cf83dcc
https://preview.redd.it/6dr6ag1i9uhe1.jpg?width=410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c8f72d971d17e99187c9855e6c893827136116f
The metric above is a [summarized](https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/ARB/quick-view) version of the story that says all isn't well with ARB. Now let's take a [deep dive](https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/ARB/deep-dive?group=all&chart=all) into individual metrics.
As we can see from the Active Addresses By Profitability visualization below, the colors green, gray and red represent profit, break-even and loss respectively. Only a small number of addresses appear to be in profit as majority of holders bought at significantly higher prices ($0.60, $0.75, $1.00+). Therefore it's safe to say that almost all holders are in a loss.
https://preview.redd.it/xiy4ztqk9uhe1.jpg?width=2234&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af19c43b19f47a3b8a1e70c5a257dd1bcb9953ba
Similarly, the Break Even Price visualization below tells the same story as many holders have an entry price significantly higher than $0.439239, particularly in the $0.60, $0.80, $1.00+ ranges, meaning ARB would need a substantial rally for most investors to break even.
https://preview.redd.it/i1hdup5m9uhe1.jpg?width=2240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c54aadce2d4bc255dbf35a9c47717697348da86d
What these tell us is that significant portion of ARB's user base entered the market during hype phases or were DCAing their way down as ARB suffered reckless token unlocks, decline in network activity, decline in TVL, competition from emerging L2s and reduced exposure from institutional investors.
When headlines like this start making rounds, a large number of holders might look to cut their losses or sell their tokens once the price recovers to their break-even points. Whichever way things pan out from here, we can all agree that without a catalyst for renewed demand, ARB may remain trapped in a cycle of sell-offs and price suppression right? | 2025-02-08 |
Hey fellow Monero enthusiasts,
I’ve been mulling over an idea, and I wanted to get the community's thoughts on it. Imagine a decentralized mesh network powered by Monero that incentivizes users to share their internet connection. Here’s the concept:
1. **Incentivized Sharing**: People could run nodes on this mesh network and share their internet bandwidth with others in exchange for Monero. Think of it like a decentralized ISP where individuals are the providers. Your router could essentially earn you XMR while you sleep.
2. **Mesh Network for Monero Transactions**: The same mesh network could also be used for Monero transactions. No more relying on centralized ISPs or VPNs to mask your activity. Instead, transactions could flow through this peer-to-peer network, creating a more censorship-resistant and private ecosystem.
3. **The Current KYC Choke Point**: One of the biggest barriers to true financial privacy today is KYC. Whether you're buying crypto or accessing certain services, you're often required to hand over sensitive personal information. This compromises the entire ethos of privacy coins like Monero.
4. **Bypassing KYC with Mesh Networks**: A mesh network removes the need to rely on centralized exchanges or services that often demand KYC. By creating a decentralized and community-powered network, users could interact and transact without exposing their identity. It’s the ultimate tool for financial and personal freedom.
# Benefits of This System:
* **Privacy**: Transactions routed through the mesh network would bypass traditional choke points where surveillance and tracking occur.
* **Resilience**: No single point of failure. Governments or corporations couldn’t take down a decentralized mesh network like they can with centralized exchanges.
* **Earn XMR**: Incentivizing participation with Monero ensures the network grows while rewarding those who contribute.
This could be a game-changer for anyone who values privacy, not just Monero users. It could open the door to a new kind of decentralized, censorship-resistant internet—one where financial freedom and online privacy are the default, not the exception.
What do you all think? Could this idea gain traction in the Monero ecosystem? What challenges do you foresee? Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Stay private,

Hi All!
Currently I am seeing 3 options to launch a Solana token (outside of doing the whole kit and caboodle myself on something like createmytoken etc); and I'd love some feedback from those with exp on which platform is "better". \*I put better in quotes because I know none of these are perfect and launching Sol memes is pretty much a trip to vegas to play "watch the snipers" slots - so need for that type of commentary please lol\*
1. [Pump.Fun](http://pump.fun/) \- obviously cheap, fast, huge following, pays .5 sol "IF" you migrate. Main question here which I can't get a straight answer on is: do they pay the .5 sol if the "Dev"/creator also makes an initial purchase at launch? Some say yes some say no. Biggest con imo - is its rep for being scam city (well deserved) and the likelihood that I'd get rugged by snipers off the bat lol. But - the community is huge and thats helpful for a newer token who hasnt established much of a following yet. Also, I'm just kind of leary of the lawsuits popping up.
2. Moonshot (via Dexscreener) - cheap, but does have deployment fee, comes with enhanced Dex listing ($295 savings), and if i were to select raydium - pays 2 sol "IF" token migrates. Question here is also the same as above; is the 2 sol paid if the creator makes the initial purchase or is it only if the creator does NOT make the initial purchase? Can't tell from the docs. Also, if the creator makes the initial purchase is this considered "liquidity" and locked/burned or is it treated as a normal transaction that can be traded as per usual? Obvious con; community is smaller, don't see many tokens migrating from Moonshot and I've "heard" most will climb to just above bonding then Dump - speculation seems to be its an inside job with Moonshot /Dex.
3. A newer one - I've found "GoFundMemes" - super new, Ui looks janky, but I like that you can raise as little or as much you want prior to migration. They also seem to have a version that allows you to create your own tokenomics and vesting schedules. But again it looks like it showed up like a week or so ago and I don't know anybody who has launched on it .... so there's that
Any feedback would be appreciated (given its on topic and not to tell me to not bother wasting my time launching a token on Solana lol)
Thanks in Advance! | 2025-02-08 |

I could literally put $100 into Bitcoin at $95,000, and a few days later it could go to $105,000 (which is actually pretty likely) and barely make $10, and there’s still FEES. I could put $1,000 in and barely make anything.
I could go for the much cheaper “altcoins”, like PEPE, but that’s more volatile and risky, and $100 still won’t make me that much of it it goes from $0.000010 to $0.000020.
If you don’t have a degree, or a driver’s license, it’s even harder to get a better job in the immediate term, especially if it’s remote.
I’m not even asking for get rich quick methods (but wouldn’t hesitate if it was likely, I’m getting more desperate).
You simply have to keep enduring suffering, whether that be in an abusive household, or homeless. There’s no quick way out, and in bad living circumstances it’s harder to build to anything longterm either.
The cost of living is WAAAAY to high compared to the federal minimum wage, and even most “entry level” jobs.
Sometimes you’re just stuck in life, and it really doesn’t seem like the struggle is worth going through anymore.
I don’t want to endure hardship anymore, there will always be someone else “who went through worse”.
Every time I try to do something it’s like the universe tries to stop me. I am running out of time too, I missed the entire first decade of real adult life.
I don’t want to go through this anymore, nothing ever pays off or leads to anything better. | 2025-02-08 |

Previously we learned about the long Straddle strategy which allows you to profit regardless which direction the market moves as long as it moves fast.
Now if the market moves sideways, how do we profit?
An easy way is to sell a straddle, which means to sell a Call Option and a Put Option at the same strike rate.
# Short Straddle Strategy Example
To do this strategy we will need to sell ETH Call Option with the strike $3300 and in this example the premium you gain is +$250, and we will also need to sell a second option, a ETH Option at strike of $3300 and in this example the premium is at +$250, but you must take note that in reality, the premium that you will gain from the call and the put may not be exactly the same even though the strike is the same due to factors such as market bid offer spread and fees
https://preview.redd.it/o1lnx5ze5vhe1.png?width=1419&format=png&auto=webp&s=55e6b3e6599be5c0203407076b7f729272362d64
In this strategy, if ETH enters crab mode and the price just stays at $3300 until expiry, you will earn the $500 premium. The breakeven levels are at $2800 and $3800, and as long as ETH stays within this range you will earn profit on expiry.
However, there is some huge risk on this, in the case markets become very volatile, and price goes down sharply, you can lose up to $2800, and if markets go up sharply, your losses are UNLIMITED.
To protect against this case, we can enter the Short Iron Butterfly strategy, which has limited profit AND limited losses.
# Building the Short Iron Butterly
To build the “Wings” of the butterfly, you need to buy an out-of-the-money put option and an out-of-the-money call option. The purpose of the “wings” are to protect your losses from becoming too big.
In this example we will be buying a Call Option at strike $3600 for -$100 premium and buying a Put Option at strike $3000 for -$100 premium as well.
This is the first time we will be combining more than two options, with this strategy requiring a total of four options.
# Part 1 – Building the Left Wing
https://preview.redd.it/ga86no4c4vhe1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0c08b419103222a3d4c3940d7736790e563d327
A downward sloping line to the left for the short straddle combined with an upward sloping line to the left from the long OTM put, plus a flat line from the long OTM call will result in a flat line. This flat line starts at the $3000 level which is the OTM put strike, and the starting point is the combined net amount of the three options which is (+$200 - $150 - $150) = -$100.
# Part 2 – Building the Body
https://preview.redd.it/3n736v1d4vhe1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e1f3852b163493831d993beb0e0b1fc99aaa718
In this case, the shape of the body is exactly the same as the short straddle, because both the OTM put and the OTM call payoff diagrams are just a flat line. However, the max profit at $3300 level is reduced from $500 initially to $200 now because you have to pay -$150 for the put and also -$150 for the call.
# Part 3 – Building the Right Wing
https://preview.redd.it/62a4bsud4vhe1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dbd7438ac1ecfa31041a603918c70c4883ee5e4
The Right wing is built exactly the same as the left wing as you can see form the chart above, but in the opposite direction.

# Final Thoughts
This is a complex option strategy that requires a total of four options. Of course this example assumes no trading costs, but in reality you have to include the bid offer spread and also the fees that your broker will charge you. That being said, if you want to profit during a sideways market, this can be an excellent strategy. | 2025-02-08 |

Just found this [Tweet](https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/1887911168246775864):
>The U.S. is discussing a bill to regulate stablecoins, imposing a two-year ban on those backed solely by self-issued digital assets.
The Treasury is tasked with assessing their risks to establish a regulatory framework for market stability and security.
https://preview.redd.it/62gsbydr6vhe1.png?width=766&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd7c0e1753fe56dd73867044547c6e7fe8adc960
This US movement probably raised the same question on your minds, Is this good or bad for crypto? Well, it depends xD
On one hand, a regulation can bring the really needed clarity and legitimacy to the stablecoin market. If this is properly done, it could increase trust in digital assets even more ensuring that stablecoins are backed by "reliable" reserves (I add the double quotes because if they want it backed by USD it would be hilarious), reducing the risk of depegging events like those we lived with UST. This would make investors and institutions feel more comfortable using stablecoins now that they know it is safu.
On the other hand, a two year ban on self issued stablecoins could stifle innovation because there are decentralized stablecoins that operate without traditional financial backing and those play a very important role in DeFi ecosystems. They enable permissionless transactions without having to rely on banks or centralized entities. This ban could force projects to move outside US and push users towards unregulated alternatives increasing the risks rather than reducing them.
The impact of this regulation depends on how is designed. If they push transparency without crushing innovation could be positive but we all know how all this go with governments, they love control, centralization, etc. and they will probably go forward with the most centralized option and it would hurt cryptos decentralization goals.
My opinion is that balance is key and there must be a way to keep the decentralization in decent levels while making things safu. Not sure if with 100% 24/7 live funds "audits", clear punishments rules so nobody is tempted to scam, or whatever. I hope they find the way.

Listen up! RDDT is my ride-or-die play. This ain’t just another meme stock. This baby is primed to print tendies. Reddit’s got an army of degens fueling engagement 24/7. You’re literally reading this on Reddit right now. Every second you scroll, they’re printing ad revenue off your smooth brain. You’re the product, my guy. If that ain’t bullish, I don’t know what is. Ad revenue is ready to skyrocket, and their data is a goldmine for AI. Monetization is just getting started.
Oh, and here’s another reason: **Sam "Daddy AI" Altman** has been a big whale in RDDT since day one, having a 9% ownership around the IPO. The guy runs OpenAI and knows the future’s all about integrating content with machine learning. He’s not here to take L’s. This is long-term diamond hands material. Altman’s got Reddit tied into ChatGPT and the whole future data ecosystem.
It's 🚀🚀 straight to the moon.
**Disclaimer**: I am currently holding \~140 shares of RDDT, valued at about $31,600 at the time of this post.

While I had an account in 2021, fortunately I never held any assets at FTX. I’m sure plenty of people here were not as lucky. If you fall into that unlucky group, please share….
Have you received your funds back yet? News last year said January 2025 through 60 days.
If you got yours, did you pile it back into crypto or have you given up on crypto and just excited to have some dollars back?
Asking because I expected most people would do the former, after being stuck on the sideline for this bull market.
Yet we haven’t seen the $16B buyer stimulus in the markets, right ? | 2025-02-08 |
It's a permissionless ledger and decentralized movement. People, including yourself, come and go as they please. Those names have touched BCH in important ways at times in the past, but none were central players that BCH can't succeed without.
On the contrary, the group of dedicated participants and builders in BCH is stronger and more focused than it ever has been. You can see a slice of it [here](https://minisatoshi.cash/ecosystem). | 2025-02-08 |
I have more trust in Ondo as a RWA narrative then in ARWEAVE, I made some loss to switch but at the end I think Ondo will easily ready 2$ or so..
Are you guys also switching now? For me its clear to see which coins are strong right now and will eventually pump when we go up again | 2025-02-08 |
I'm trading on bull and trying to get my funds from phantom to bullx.

Lost 25% of my portfolio to TMF when Trump won because everyone was scared he’s sending USD to zero. YOLOed into BB shares and made it back. Holding til $12 or September ‘25, whichever comes sooner.

I don’t understand why people keep saying “cycle” and the crypto universe.
First of all: what happened in the past may not happen in the future. If this is right, we would all be millionaire.
I’m really surprised when people say “it takes XXX from halving for bitcoin to go 100%”. Nah. If this is true and everyone knows it, this price would go up TODAY. Because we all would try to guarantee the best price.
Also, when you say “cycle” you assume that there will be a big up and then a big dump. Happened in the past? Yeah. But things have changed A LOT. There are institutional investors, with big positions, and they have ammo to hold and defend their prices. Dominance is higher than before and alts are bleeding.
Stop this shit. There’s no “cycle”. Bitcoin is here to stay and the game is not the same. | 2025-02-08 |

I am too much of a pussy for options, so I was rolling dirty on \~$50,000-100,000 margin instead with 50% of the portfolio in OKLO in December after selling my house and YOLOing my net worth last year. During Deep Seek I experienced what I would describe as a "deleveraging event", watched 100k evaporate, and rack + stacked the entire port at the open for a 50k gain
Around 20-30 minutes later, I found my nuts and went back in with way more OKLO shares than I started with, DCAing in somewhat since the price was so volatile, taking most of the margin off the table but now almost all in
This is 100% going to age like milk, probably as soon as Monday morning, but damn what a nice screenshot! I lose 80,000 to taxes cashing this out so might as well watch it go down that much?

With the current market, I have been dipping my toes into the crypto world. I have a wallet at coin base and with crypto.com. I'm trying to educate myself and just a moment ago I looked at both wallets and saw purchasing Bitcoin at 2 significantly different prices. I guess what I'm asking is, who do I go with? Are there better ones, like Robinhood for example? I'm new but I feel that investing in this market is a good decision. Thanks | 2025-02-08 |

It's been said way too often that Solana is or is going to be an 'Ethereum killer', but the reality is that no single layer 1 can scale to meet the demands of the whole crypto ecosystem. Ethereum has already cemented itself as the dominant settlement layer, and scaling will come with layer 2 solutions.. not competing chains.
Cross-chain interoperability may look like a solution, but it's very hard to maintain when it comes to security. Bridges have been some of the largest attack vectors in crypto, and navigating multiple chains is not seamless at all. Instead, the future is a multichain world, just like Vitalik envisioned years ago. Layer 2s will have an important role in scaling Ethereum's ecosystem while supporting security and decentralization.
In my opinion there needs to be more balance between Ethereum and its layer 2s. The more dominant L2s become, the more revenue they take from Ethereum's base layer, which in turn decreases ETH burn and deflation. This can be a challenge from an investment point of view. Then again, Ethereum's value does come from its network, if layer 2 adoption continues to increase then ETH's price should follow.
Ethereum's gas limit is increasing over time, allowing layer 1 to scale. If layer 1 scales, the entire Ethereum ecosystem scales, including L2s. Instead of Solana or any other L1 replacing Ethereum, we’re seeing Ethereum evolve.

Advanced Money Destroyer just won’t go up. I’ve put All My Dollars in this stock and what do I get? Account Massively Drained. I was told stocks only go up and that some good DD prevents the inevitable Wendy’s dumpster but I just Ain’t Making Dollars. I mean, it Ain’t Making Dividends, it’s Always Moving Down, and just had Another Massive Dip. I mean if they were to declare a dividend, it would probably be some 2 cent Autistic Micro Dividend. They say to average down, but it’s really just Averaging More Despair 😩 I thought earnings would be great but it was just Another Miserable Day. These were All My Deposits on Robinhood, but I guess Annihilating My Dough makes for a WSB worthy post.
AM I Dumb for buying this stock? Sorry for the rant but I guess I'm just another Autistic Mourning Degenerate on this sub.

Well my thick headed friend, if that is vocalized I would think it kind of defeats the purpose. | 2025-02-08 |
OKLO more than doubled in one month. This is due to expectations/hype about AI electricity consumption and political support for nuclear. I’m not aware of any technological or commercial breakthrough.
The company is not expected to make any money for years.
Is it time to short OKLO or wait and respect the pump?
Currently, I have a naked call at $41, which I won’t close and will be short 100 shares. I sold another call at $61.
I’m thinking about selling several more calls and some puts. Probably a bad idea but who knows. | 2025-02-08 |
Are you truly sovereign individuals? Are you running your own node? It’s incredibly easy, and you don’t even need specialized hardware—just a basic Raspberry Pi and any SSD with at least 1TB of storage.

I am not a dev, and I am not in the business to be able to accept payments in xmr, I am trying to raise awareness among those around me who are in crypto that xmr is the only one which is private and not centralized and that complete decentralization is in the future and not coins or tokens which try to centralize it and which will end up in the end and I include bitcoin will end up controlled by the government and big corporations. I am not a cypher but I believe in freedom from other money, I absolutely do not believe that paying taxes on what I own and that I took the risk of owning and making a profit from this same profit I should give it to the government in short I would like to help the monero community in any way and I am looking for solutions to be able to give my time to monero if you have any answers I will take everything | 2025-02-08 |
People became millionaires off of a culture by belittling u and manipulating you. “😂🫵”
We have a mass amount of people who look up to people who shill a coin called “n1gga butt token”
thats funny to you guys?
One of the biggest coins is “fartcoin” . Im gen z but i never found that shi funny. Its jus cringe .
This cycle showed me that u can have all the money in the world and still be a cringe beta male.
I never been envious or jealous of someone who has more . The way i think if u got more im tryna be ur friend ; learn from u and use u as motivation .
But these type of people . I dont wanna be near u with a 16 foot pole.
U have to really guard ur energy from this culture.
Before i got into solana trenches i was running 6-10 miles, waking up at 5am, fasting , not doing any drugs but coffee .
Next thing u know im staying up all night, eating fast food, not working out as much, and picked up a nicotine habit. …. Of course i am the only person to blame.
Im finally back to my old habits but it was hard . U dont realize how the culture is changing ur mental
Patterns till u really look in the mirror .
Block the noise . Its too much noise. U dont need 100 twitter notifications and telegram groups to be successful in this space. U dont need to be staring at a computer 18 hours a day . U dont need to pay for 50 discord group subscriptions.
Its so much manipulation and insider disguising themselves as “i got here cus i work harder than you😂🫵!! THANKS FOR PLAYING”
U dont have to call yourself a degenerate to make good money.
Im in a TG group with notable twitter kols . Ur fav influencers like frank will buy tokens on a public wallet then sell off on 3 other wallets he bought from 30 mins ago.
Its all a facade do what works for you and most importantly ur mental health. | 2025-02-08 |

I just came to some hentai and realised the reason why gogle is down.
No poster boy!
Facebook had lizardberg BUT he reclaimed his humanity and the stock went up. He was acting too much like a robot, now he's got nice skin color. Skin routine...
Amazon CEO is bald but muscular. He works out...
TESLA the car company, Elon musk is built like a tall Danny DeVitto. A magnum dong...
En vidia, he's JENSEN HUNG, an icon too. Leather jacket...
Johnny Sins has nice skin, works out, has a big d... What if he wore a leather jacket and went on stage? We can CapEx his salary so it's ok.
Not knowing what goggl does is one thing but not knowing how gongl looks?

I’m posting here since doge doesn’t allow my negative feelings. Please tell me if there is a better place to post..
Doge was one of the best communities in the space, but it’s not what it used to be I feel like. I used to have a genuine feeling that people were there for each-other. Like a giant community connected via their holdings.
I just don’t see the community anymore as it used to be this project has became a bit of a political mess. I just want the fun and the community strength back we had in the old times.
Scrolling this subreddit I see so many comments of people who just want to get out at the highest price possible like the dedication to push ATH has been gone. Like we’re waiting for Elon musk to do something for us like we’re these mindless followers waiting for some crumbs to drop. I have a feeling all the OG holders are out already and now my time has come.
I will be cheering from the sidelines as I’ve been in doge for a very long time and a part of my heart will be left here, but it’s time to move on. | 2025-02-08 |
I think I was gaining more from staking on Exodus than staking on Ledger. But it isn't that much if at all. But I'd still like to know the best place you guys think there is to Stake SOL. .
Also is there a way to have what I Stake go into a different account on the Ledger instead of just going into the amount Staked. Then I could sell some 1 time a month or 1 time every other month until I'm working full time again or to maybe keep doing it even after I go back to full time and sell every once in a while when sol is at 240 or higher. Thanks for any positive input guys. | 2025-02-08 |
I want to switch most of our money into BTC, since I think that it'll rise more and we'll be able to retire sooner, but she says it's a scam, and that it could crash. How would I convince her that it is a good idea? She has recently come around and said it might not be a scam, but it still could crash. Would there be any way to know if a crash is coming?

Now I find it highly unlikely that 338k seperate individuals hold Monero.
Only metric I have other then tradevolume is social metrics. How many views on Youtube related content/etc.
Maybe its like 20k globally? Most who had some dust on exchanges should be out.
Anyone care to speculate? 😁 | 2025-02-08 |
