Happy New Year!!

This is not investing advice thread. Just a discussion, I want to know your thoughts and analysis on the ai16z token future.

Before explaining my point of view, I'm NOT a professional investor or trader, I do it as a hobby, and I've recently started developing some interest on the mathematical analysis of stocks and crypto. I'm a computer scientist so my interest is more into the technical part of ai16z rather than the speculative part, this is important to understand my opinion and probably the interpretation errors that I have and that I would appreciate if you could correct.

Said this, I'm heavily divided. On the technical part, the project is hella promissing and it deserves the love it is getting, but the Eliza project is still in an alpha state, as you can see on their github. I feel optimistic about the agent and the use cases it will have, but, how this connects to the token price? Here is where I'm divided. The token is already #200 on market capitalization, 2B in. This could be understandable for a project which is already developed and working great, but it is still an alpha, what can happen then when the project gets fully released? Usually the boom on successful projects comes after the releasing, but this is extremely big already. Do I think it will drop and it is overhyped? Not at all. The question is, How much can the token's value increase? If it would do a x2 in market capitalization it would surpass Virtual value rn and become top 30-40. I feel like this is doable, and will happen, but what comes after that? The hedge fund functionality is something to keep and eye on. If I'm not mistaken, when fully developed it will invest the money put into the coin and make investments which might increase the value, with the potential to reject speculative bear tendencys on the coin value, something which as far as I know havent happened before AI tokens appeared, as the value of them would depend completly on the money put into them, they couldnt "generate" more value by themselves. This can be huge, bring the token price even further up, but then again I ask myself... How far can it go? If it does a x3 it would be top 36, a x5 would mean top 20, x10 almost top 10, same value as coins that had been sucessfull past multiple cycles.

So here it is the discrepance. We are talking about a token which has done more than a x130 during the alpha version of the project, but has a potential of doing a x2 or x5 short term (Prolly after I say this, it will go down into the bottom as always happens :p) and it could happen that the project would still not be fully developed when the x5 happens. But what comes after that? Usually the real big movement comes after an start-up or project fully develops and proves to be successful, but this one is "touching the roof" way before that. So what is his future? What could we expect?

My division/discrepance is that technically I could believe that the "good" part comes now, because something successful is about to come. But looking at the crypto market it seems like it can't go too far up (short term) when the project gets released (x2, x5) which is faaaaaaaar less than the increase it did before.

To end this "monologue" I want to set my bets which AGAIN are NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. I'M FOR SURE 100% MISTAKEN. But just to come again to this post in some weeks/months and get a good laugh:

I'm bullish on the token and the project. I would say a x2 in the next weeks, and from that point I dont know at all what could happen. Maybe a x5 when the final projects gets released. But I dont see how could it go further than that as the market is rn.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Grammar

This is the AI answer:

"Yes, Nexo Capital Inc. has stated that it is solvent and can continue to operate without material impact. However, there have been some concerns about the company's solvency:

Lawsuit

In 2022, three investors filed a lawsuit against Nexo in the London High Court, claiming that the company prevented them from withdrawing over $126 million in cryptocurrency.

Vauld rejection:

In January 2023, a Vauld creditor questioned Nexo's solvency and rejected the company's acquisition proposal.

Absence of real-time audits

Nexo stopped offering real-time audits, which some say makes it difficult for investors to independently verify the company's claims about its assets and liabilities."

  • Then it had kind of a summation of nexo, what the company is about and what they do...

UPDATE, tried to have this posted at nexo but the moderators deleted it and it looks like there was 35 views...

No big news. I just thought it was interesting that the artificial intelligence scraped from some pretty old stories in the crypto world...

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.

  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.

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.
