I don't mean as an investment, but as a practical use. All cryptos are welcome, BTC, Eth in contracts, gaming coins? Whichever you believe has made for a practical use case in your life, I'd really like to hear about it.

This is not sarcastic or a hate post. And, I do realize the adaptation as a currency has a critical mass and so on. No stress. I would just really like to hear if anyone is getting some practical use out of the technology.

For me, I've liked looking at it within coding to find cases where trust might be a factor but I haven't actually been able to apply blockchain thoughts into any practical program yet.

I've been playing in the crypto world since 2019 I have $10k after taking $5K to buy toys with 65% is BTC and the rest split around the top 10, I autopay $300 monthly, split between BTC & ETH. I'm definitely an amateur dealing with Crypto (but no fool) I am toying of the idea of setting up an AI trading account and would love to know your opinions and if positive which one should I look at? Don't bother DM me telling me about an 'amazing investment' I won't bother to read it

Overall I'd say I've broken even but deeply regret not buying BTC at $13K 2 years ago hey ho As is the Reddit moto 'buy high sell low!'

Happy New Year everyone. As a new year begins and new investors enter the crypto market this year like last year, I would like to share a few golden rules with you so that you don't get scammed and lose all your money:

1. Not you keys not your coins. In other words, if you want to invest a lot of money, buy a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor. Because as long as the coins/tokens (I'll just write coins for the sake of simplicity) are on the broker or exchange, you can lose them if they f*ck up or the exchange goes bust (see FTX).
   1. If you have a hardware wallet (Cold Wallet) or a wallet created with an app such as Trust Wallet (Hot Wallet), never, absolutely NEVER share your 12 to 24 word phrase with anyone. This is the key to your wallet in the event of loss of login details. Also, do not take screenshots or photos of it that you then save on technical devices of any kind. It has often happened that people have revealed their phrase and had their wallets emptied as a result. Also do an antivirus scan on your devices to remove malware searching for any detail about crypto on your device
   2. Never buy hardware wallets from third-party providers, but only from the manufacturer itself. This is because third-party providers can provide you with hacked devices or devices with a phrase already attached and fake instructions, with which scammers can empty your wallet
2. Always DYOR (do your own research). Dont buy any coins trusting some crappy Youtubers. Many of them either don't know what they are saying or are paid by influencers or developers to advertise for their scamcoin. Also dont participate in anything you dont understund (Trading, Liquidity Pools, Lending, Staking or Leverage). Also be aware of Initial Coin Offers (ICO's). 99% of them are fake and/or scam.
3. On social media, no one is your friend who wants to give you a hot tip or offer their help with problems. There are a lot of scammers lurking on all platforms. You will often receive DMs after almost every post about cryptocurrencies. Many will approach you in a very subtle and friendly way to suggest that they are not scammers. But they all are. Don't accept their DM request and be aware.
4. Only invest as much money as you can bear to lose. Don't invest money that you need. Diversify your portfolio. Dont invest all of your money into only one coin.
5. Dont let emotions take control of you. Don't fall for hypes, don't do FOMO (fear of missing out) or lose your nerves if something goes down. The crypto market is very volatile and you have to be able to live with the fact that your portfolio can be down 30% from one day to the next, but you must also not fall into euphoria as soon as your portfolio is up 50%. Try to turn off your greed. As soon as you see something like this, realize profits (unless we are at the beginning of the bull market). Another indicator for selling is when even any crappy page or magazine suddenly starts talking about crypto. It's a bit of a meme, but it has proven to be true more than once. Sometimes its very hard to sell a coin to take profit. Because you sometimes build up an emotional hold on a coin. Just take the profit and never look back at what happened or what could be happen.
6. Do not buy any coins on decentralized exchanges (DEX) such as Uniswap, Raydium, Pancakeswap etc. until you have gained enough experience in the crypto sector in general. There are a lot of scams lurking there that can either empty your wallet because you give them the authorization to do so or fall for a honeypot where you only serve as a provider of liquidity but can no longer sell anything so that the scammer can cash out.
   1. If you have some experience, then always check the contract adress which you can find on Coin Market Cap or Coingecko, before buying a coin. Also check if a coin is a scam on pages like Token Sniffer. You should also know which DEX runs on which chain. Its a bit more complicated but for example Uniswap runs on the Ethereum Chain. Therefore you won't be able to find coins which run on the Solana chain like PENGU. If you search for PENGU you will get some coins who are named the same but are either different ones or just scams. Always work with the contract adress. And if you are not sure, do research about it at first

So those were my tips for you. If I have forgotten something, please feel free to add it. I wish everyone a healthy new year and lots of profits. Take care

Welcome to the Monthly Optimists Discussion thread. As the title implies, the purpose of this thread is to promote discussion which is guardedly optimistic about cryptocurrency topics. This thread is intended to be a counterweight to the Skeptics Discussion thread and will be pinned when the markets are bearish.

Please read the rules and guidelines before participating.

Rules:

This discussion thread has much higher standards compared to the Daily Discussion thread. Please behave in accordance with the following rules.

1. All r/CC rules apply.
2. For top-level comments, a minimum of 250 characters will be imposed as well as a minimum of 1000 comment karma and 6 months account age.
3. Discussions must be on topic, ie positive but not to the point of being absurd or utopian. Statements should be substantiated with sound reason and/or evidence. For example, announcing an obscure online store is adopting coin X for payments and then speculate Amazon will adopt it next without evidence. Also, discussions about market analysis, financial advice, or tech support will most likely be removed and is better suited for the daily thread.
4. Low-effort comments promoting coins or tokens will be removed. For example, comments saying “Buy coin X!” or “Coin X is going to the moon!🚀”, showcasing the current composition of your portfolio, or stating you sold coin X for coin Y, will be removed. In other words, no shilling.
5. Offensive language, profanity, trolling, and satire will be removed. This thread is intended for mature discussion.

Most of the above rules will be promptly enforced upon top-level comments by AutoModerator. Please report shilling or any comments which violate the rules.

Syria’s transitional government is considering legalizing Bitcoin to rebuild its economy, stabilize its currency, and attract global investors after the Assad regime’s collapse.

The proposal includes digitizing the Syrian pound on blockchain, legalizing Bitcoin trading and mining, and allowing entrepreneurs to use energy resources for crypto operations.

Challenges include international sanctions, technical infrastructure gaps, and the debts left by the Assad regime, but Bitcoin could help Syria bypass traditional financial systems.

So recently I've been given my old imac again from when I was in middle school. My parents wanted to do end of year cleaning. However I remember trying out bitcoin mining on this thing many years ago. I remember I set up a wallet and had some software running that would send to the created adress. Does anybody know what files I need to be looking for on an imac? It was around 2012-2013.

I remember back then I was running it for a day and just turning it off after what it only generated. Im curious in today's standards what would be on there.

I wish i just kept it running those many years ago.

Guys im excited because the google titans are now back in stock i just ordered one . These things are useful because they offer an additional layer of authentication which only authorizes if you have the device plugged in or if its detected by the devices nfc reader. This is huge because if you fall for a phishing situation they cannot hack your email EVEN IF they have your whole password because it will not let them in to your gmail or whatever account you have secured without detecting the titan hardware directly.

Open minded but not seeing the future of crypto far as transactional use.

1. People anticipate crypto rising hire so are reluctant to use it in current transactions. Will crypto reach a stable level in our lifetime ?
2. Gas fees don’t make large transactions.
3. All Bitcoin will eventually be mined. Doesn’t this incentive developers to create alternatives coins?

What am I missing? Maybe evolution of crypto? Is crypto landscape going to be drastically different fundamentally in the future ? Are there any comparable historic references ?

Edit: would consider my self a crypto enthusiast for 10 plus years who is losing optimism.

Scrolling through this page the last few days you stumble upon these uncreative memes trying to slip SOL into "og status," talk down ETH performance, or try to solidify the fact that BTC is at some level it will never fall from. It just struck me as important to remember that at this point, cryptocurrency has no value for the common person. It is debatable if it will ever have a use for the common person. Because of that, ALL talk about "performance," and especially future performance of an asset is disingenuous.

This space is the definition of speculative. No one has an inside track on this. No one. So anything you read speaking with authority about the future of some coin or token is utter bullshit. I would also take note of WHO is posting these memes, because it tends to be the same accounts who are no doubt bag holding whatever asset the meme implies is good.

As far as you should be concerned, there is no real 'insight' in this space. Assume everything you read is written by a 15 year old. Assume all confidence is unfounded.
