I'm looking for a balance of good ROI (return on investment) and safety (not a super sketchy meme coin or brand new project).

I’m brand new to the crypto space and I’m just starting to learn a little bit and trying to understand the space. Bitcoin seems like a good speculative long term investment; however, I want to be more aggressive and make money in the short term. I’m starting to look towards solana and the like. I want a good return but still safe. I currently have Coinbase and phantom as my trading platforms, but I haven’t bought anything yet. Advice/suggestions would be great, thanks 👍🏻

Lots of alt chains on the market and you may be wondering:

Am I making a long term investment in a chain that has usage and will continue to grow over time?

Or am I buying into a ghost chain with little to no activity and long term prospects?

Here are bridge flows for the top alt (non-BTC) chains.

Inflows go left to right, outflows go right to left. So a bar that is bigger on the right means the chain has more inflows than outflows. And if the bar is bigger on the left, it means the chain has more ouflows than inflows.

A couple of observations stand out:

1. Solana, Ethereum, and the largest Ethereum L2s (Arbitrum, Base) absolutely dominate the flow picture.
2. This is really a two-horse race between the Solana ecosystem and the Ethereum ecosystem.
3. Some alt L1s that have been in the market for more than one cycle (Avalanche, Polygon, Fantom) are no longer young and growing, but appear instead to be withering and declining as network effects accrue to the biggest winners.
4. Base and Arbitrum have more inflows than outflows. Perhaps surprisingly for an Ethereum L2, Arbitrum is having a lot of inflows from Solana. Whereas Base's inflows seem more diffuse.
5. Once you get out of the big dogs, BNB is hanging in there, but still has more outflows than inflows, much of it to Solana, but really just bleeding in multiple directions.
6. Lots of Reddit Cryptocurrency darlings like ADA and ALGO don't even make the graph.

For the first time, the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) has allowed commercial banks and payment institutions to provide services involving Category 1 crypto assets, including backed or stable cryptocurrencies. However, unbacked cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, remain prohibited.

The directive aims to regulate operations and businesses involving digital currencies, reflecting the country’s effort to keep pace with global financial innovations.

Under the directive, all commercial banks or payment institutions wishing to provide crypto-related services must seek prior approval from NBC. Institutions granted authorisation can engage in activities such as exchanging crypto assets for fiat currencies or vice versa, transferring crypto assets between accounts and providing custody services for crypto assets. However, they are explicitly prohibited from using their customers’ crypto assets for their own purposes.

Historically, Cambodia has banned cryptocurrency transactions and trading due to the associated high risks, including money laundering, fraud and illicit activities within the black market.

What's your favourite low-key Crypto? We've all got that one.. I'm sure.

Is it Nano? (Sad this can be described as such now, a true DINO coin IMO).

Ergo? We all remember when that was the lovechild of this sub right? Looks primed for a run.

Any Cortex holders here? I did hear a lot of AI buzz around this one.

What have we got? Curious what the r/CC views are on the above too. Nano, an old beloved coin. Ergo, a huge pump last cycle but no attention now. Cortex, a new coin that sits nicely in the current AI hype. Three very different projects, is there room for them all to succeed?

Disclaimer: I don't hold 2/3 of the mentioned assets... Guess what I'm in?

In 2021 I had this portfolio which I added my expectations of price target of each.

Keep in mind I was still in my second year in this rodeo

To all those that say "diversify is key", It's not, It's trash. It's way more important to find good projects rather than throw money at +20 tokens and know not a single one.

Disclamer, I ended this portfolio in less than a month, as I realized I didn't understand these projects enough to hold them with certainty.

I've shifted my strategy so I can follow each investment and get to know the devs & the people involved.

So how do you guys run crypto things on your daily driver?

I really dont want to get a second setup/laptop. If theres news in a Discord channel or something, I want to get going as fast as possible and not have a second laptop standing next to my setup or something. However, since I also download stuff for my daily life and gaming, I would LOVE to separate these two topics as much as possible - for the case that I one day download something malicious for gaming or something and I dont want Crypto to be affected.

Is it sufficient, if i simply run a Virtual Machine on my PC? Or how do you guys separate these 2 topics as much as possible, without giving up too much "comfort"? (I also just dont have space for a second setup and dont want to spend money on a second pc)

Hey everyone,

Here’s an update on the setup I mentioned yesterday.

The price hit the level and surged quickly in just a few minutes, leaving no chance for a pullback.

Currently, we’re up 3%, and the trend looks strong, supported by demand level pressure.

I see this as a clear uptrend and anticipate it could reach at least 104K within 2–3 days.

Check out the chart—it was a spot-on entry point!

Additionally, we’ve opened long positions in altcoins like XLM and SHIB, which are showing similar momentum.

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!! 🤙
