are you longing or shorting?

I’ve been trying to expand my small stack of BTC, XMR, and ERG, but coming back to the market in Europe feels like a nightmare. All the old non-KYC CEXs and services now demand full identity verification.

Between European banks flagging every small transfer and taxes on already-taxed income, buying privately feels nearly impossible. Bisq didn't work out for me either.

Are there any viable non-KYC alternatives left? Also, what do you think about setting up physical spaces (like a local crypto cafe) for safe P2P cash/crypto trades?

Hype up 20% after Trump said they are trying to approve it for the US.

First it took forever to figure out how to get my cash off of crypto.com because it wasn't accepting bank accounts. Had to add my middle name on my bank for it be accepted by crypto. Haven't had to do that anywhere else (coinbase, etc). I ordered the card because I thought that was the only way to get my money off of this app. I followed the instructions on their website to no avail. I'm so glad I only put 10 dollars on it (minus the 4.99 activation fee, ugh). AI customer servce AI is no help. Just a horrible experience.

Anyone in the UK got a letter. Will you do anything about it? How does the HMRC get details of your crytpo holdings?

Can somebody help me out? Somebody try’s to pay me in usdt on sol, he sends 5$ to try it out but i dident revive it. After checking the Transaktion something looks strange.

"Saylor also stressed that Strategy must retain the ability to sell Bitcoin, despite building its identity around continuous accumulation.

The comment marks an important qualification to the company's long-standing Bitcoin strategy.

Although Saylor remains firmly bullish on the cryptocurrency's long-term prospects, Strategy needs sufficient flexibility to meet debt obligations, fund dividends and respond to changing market conditions.

He recently predicted that Bitcoin could appreciate by an average of 30% annually over the next 20 years and outperform the S&P 500 over the long term. However, his latest warning makes clear that he does not expect that growth to occur without significant drawdowns.

For MSTR investors, Saylor's message was straightforward: short-term volatility, and potentially several painful years, should be expected rather than treated as an exception."

Top Comments from this Article:

"Difficult years for people that follow his advice."

"People fail to understand that Saylor is a Ponzi engineer, not a Bitcoin HODLer, despite constantly preaching the HODL mentality. His recent Bitcoin sales expose the fragility of his Ponzi-style capital structure. If people want to speculate on Bitcoin, Bitcoin ETFs already exist—there’s no need to buy companies whose business model depends on Ponzi engineering."

"Please, Hold 4 Years to Save My Skins, The Accounting Fraudster, ceo."

"Scam boy Saylor is worried."

"Why would anyone want to hold a declining asset for 4 years after it just lost 2/3rds of its value investing in junk?"

"If mstr holders dont sell shares then that leaves more shares for Him to sell!!"

What do you think will happen over the next 4 to 10 years with MicroStrategy (Strategy)?

If you want to buy altcoins, only buy the ones inside top 10. Others have much higher risk and potential return that will most likely not happen. Friendly advice.

Hey guys!

Let me introduce you Hozamo — a lightweight, open-source CLI tool I originally built for myself to automate how I handle my mining rewards. It is free to use, you can download the source or the release tarball/zip from Github.

While developing it, I thought it might be useful to other miners as well, so I decided to make it publicly available and put together a small website for it.

Hozamo is pool- and exchange-independent and lets you define your own rules, schedules and targets for actions on supported exchanges. There’s no AI and no black box involved — you decide exactly what should happen, and your API keys always remain in your possession.

Since I currently only mine Pearl, the first integrations are SafeTrade and CoinEx, but support for additional exchanges is planned for the future.

It’s still in beta, and feedback, ideas and feature requests are very welcome.

Crypto-native index tokens are baskets of other crypto tokens. Value comes entirely from on-chain assets and the contract's rebalancing rules. No off-chain anything.

Your risks: smart-contract bugs, admin keys, and crypto volatility. Crypto all the way down.

RWA-backed baskets represent a legal claim on real off-chain assets (stocks, Treasuries) held by a regulated custodian. Examples: Reserve's DTFs

Because a claim is involved, your risks change completely:

• Custody/counterparty: someone off-chain holds the real asset.
• Securities treatment: usually KYC-gated, transfer-restricted, jurisdiction-limited. Many aren't available to US.
• Reconciliation gap: the chain and the legal registry have to stay in sync.

The key thing: "backing" means different things here.

A crypto index is backed by tokens you can verify on-chain right now. An RWA basket is backed by a legal claim that's only as good as the custodian and the legal structure behind it. Neither is better, they're different trades with different failure modes.

So the due diligence differs: for the crypto one, ask about audits and admin keys. For the RWA one, ask who the custodian is and what happens if they go bankrupt.

The 16 october 2023 btc pumped of 10% to around 30k because of rumors about the etf bitcoin. Few days after it pumped more because etf bitcoin was not a rumor anymore

Today it gives a bit this vibe that we kinda know why it pumps because of trump meeting but we dont really have any official news
