I just received an email from moon pay with “my login code”. I’m not logging in (was just watching tv doing nothing) and I didn’t even know what moon pay was. Is this a scam or is someone legitimately trying to log in with my info and access a wallet or something?

There are no links to click in the email; I expected a “not trying to log in? Click here”. But it just says “not trying to log in? You can safely ignore this email”, which seems very strange.

Maybe I made a moonpay account years ago and just forgot, but still I’m not trying to log into anything at all recently.

Hey crypto OGs and degens (and everyone in between),

I’m a wealth advisor exploring whether it’s worth getting certified as a CBDA (Certified Blockchain and Digital Assets) professional through the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACFP). On paper, it seems legit—the leadership looks solid, and they seem to have their act together. But let’s be real, a shiny badge doesn’t always mean much in the trenches of the crypto world.

Here’s where I need your brutally honest takes (I know you’ll deliver):

• Would you, as a hardcore crypto enthusiast, see value in your wealth advisor holding this certification?

• Does it signal credibility, or does it just scream “here’s another TradFi trying to infiltrate our world”?

• Have any of you come across this cert before, and does it actually hold weight in the crypto ecosystem?

Feel free to tell me if I’m chasing smoke here or if this could actually be a differentiator when working with folks who get it in the crypto space.

Bonus question: If your advisor could speak your language (e.g., not calling everything “Bitcoin” and knowing the difference between DeFi and a meme coin rug), does that actually matter, or are we all just trusting our ledger seeds and vibes at this point?

Let the roast begin—I know how y’all roll. Seriously, though, I’d love your perspective. If it’s trash, I’ll save my fiat for more BTC, but if it’s worth something, I’ll consider it a worthwhile investment.

Fire away.

As someone who has been around since early '15 (and around seriously since May 2020), I've been a part of my fair share of variable crypto communities--some wonderful, many the opposite of wonderful. I totally understand the fact that there's always been a Libertarian streak running through the middle of the community at large--being that crypto as a whole started as a Cypherpunk / Libertarian-adjacent resource--but for the life of me I cannot ever wrap my head around why anytime I try to venture any deeper than surface level into any inter-community groups, I inevitably find like 80% of the membership thereof to be made up entirely of far-right, conservative, often extremely racist, misogynistic, transphobic, xenophobic, bigoted, waterheaded mouth breathers?!

I CONSTANTLY feel like the outlier / weirdo for being a leftist (aka decent human being) who likes the tech behind crypto... I wish I could find more like-minded crypto enthusiasts (preferably not full on memecoin degens lmao) who shared my common values, but at this point I'm convinced it's next to impossible.

Do any of you happen to know any decent groups made up of even just non-conservative or non-MAGA nutjobs, within the space at hand? Any info would be much appreciated. Alternatively, what do yall think abt the idea of me creating a leftist leaning crypto community from the ground up? Just a thought.

Anyway, sorry if I offended anyone with the above. I'm a little frustrated if ya couldn't tell lol. Thanks again, in advance. Hope to hear from a lot of you.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas / holiday season!! Stay safe out there!! 🤙

I came across one, $AUDD , I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any more and if anyone uses them for holding funds. Also if anyone has any opinions on them, I guess using a smaller, lesser known stablecoin could be more risky (of collapse etc.)?

For one reason or another that I don't need to go into (but actually not to do with tax), when I cash out next year, I'm going to need to hold for a while on my cold wallet, instead of cashing out to the bank. But I'd feel better having an amount measured in AUD (since that's what I started off with), than hold in USDC, for example and then potentially see it drop in value in AUD terms. I understand that AUD can also drop in value against the USD or in purchasing power terms, but I guess that won't 'feel' as bad.

Just wondering if any other Aussies have been in this situation and used a stable AUD token?

Not my words, but it's an interesting observation:

"In the 2017–18 cycle, new money entered after reading lengthy white papers or watching detailed analyses of those papers.

They gained substantial context before making investment decisions.

In the 2020–21 cycle, new money entered after watching 10–15-minute long shill videos

They had relatively much less context than the previous cycle but still received some information before investing.

In the current cycle, new money is entering through two mainstream channels — TikTok and Instagram, which cater to people with the shortest attention spans and the highest levels of instant gratification in the world.

They are spending less than a minute deciding on their next investment.

Context has officially died.

Greed is reaching peak levels.

The majority of new money will end up losing capital as a result, and the sad part is that they will label crypto a scam without even taking the time to understand what it was all about."

I am bullish on Ether 2025! Screw all those re-posted clickbait articles 😂

First, lets take a look at the latest Ethereum DENCUN upgrade which was a huge success! Dencun upgrade was released in March of 2024. Let's look at the key features of the upgrade:

• Verkle Trees: Introduced to reduce the amount of data validators need to store, improving network efficiency.
• Optimistic Rollups: Enhanced Layer 2 scaling solutions for better transaction throughput.
• Proposer/Builder Separation (PBS): Aimed at improving the security and decentralization of the network.
• Stateless Clients: Enabled nodes to operate without needing to store the entire blockchain state, making it easier for users to run nodes.

Dencun had a HUGE impact on scalability, security, and decentralization! Both performance and user experience was improved and it set the foundations for the upcoming Pectra upgrade (more on the later).

Moreover, Dencun introduced Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844) which significantly reduced transaction fees for Layer 2 solutions. Rollup providers like Arbitrum and Optimism have reported a noticeable decrease in fees, making transactions more affordable for users! Also, ephemeral data blobs had a huge impact which allow rollup providers to store data more cost-effectively. This has reduced the burden on network nodes and optimized overall performance. The upgrade has enhanced Ethereum's scalability by allowing Layer 2 solutions to handle more transactions off-chain. This has led to a smoother user experience and increased capacity for handling more users. The upgrade has maintained the security and decentralization of the network. Node operators and stakers have successfully upgraded their software to support the new changes, ensuring a stable and secure network.

Dencun upgrade has been a success, addressing key issues such as scalability, transaction fees, and network efficiency.

Now, Dencun was released Q1 2024, but what can we expect for 2025 and why be bullish? Well, let's talk about the next Pectra upgrade! Unfortunately, we don't have a release date yet, but it is expected "early 2025" which I'm hoping is Q1 2025 based on historical upgrades!

Pectra upgrade key features:

• Account Abstraction: Allows users to batch transactions and pay fees in any ERC-20 token.
• Blob Expansion: Enhances data availability capacity and reduces fees for Layer 2 networks.
• Zero-Knowledge Proof Upgrade: Improves privacy and scalability.
• Staking Upgrade: Increases the maximum balance for validators from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.

Pectra upgrade will focus on scalability, security, and user experience which is always a major interest for everyone involved in Ethereum improvements!

Bullish on Ethereum 2025 LFG 🌒🚀💎🍩

Who else is excited for the next Ethereum upgrade?
