Bitcoin-Explain to me how to buy these things (5 Viewers)

Arrested in Manhattan Tuesday were Ilya Lichtenstein, 34, and his wife, Heather Morgan, 31. They are scheduled to make initial appearances in federal court at 3 p.m. in Manhattan.
Now that I looked at this for real - yeah, no way.  Sorry, but this these two are the equivalent of Larry and Moe robbing Fort Knox.  Classic fall guys.

 
The Justice Department said Tuesday it has seized more than $3.6 billion in cryptocurrency and arrested two people in connection with the 2016 hack of a virtual currency exchange.

It’s the Justice Department’s largest ever financial seizure, officials said.

“Today, federal law enforcement demonstrates once again that we can follow money through the blockchain, and that we will not allow cryptocurrency to be a safe haven for money laundering or a zone of lawlessness within our financial system,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

The blockchain is a shared, online ledger of cryptocurrency transactions.

Just got a notification that in the US we can't add anymore funds to BlockFi Interest Accounts, as they work to get approval for a new product (BlockFi Yield).  That's a bummer, I'd set up a recurring monthly deposit there and have been earning 8.75% on USDC and I had moved all my ETH from Coinbase to there to earn 5%.  They had already changed things so that those recurring deposits went directly to the new BlockFi wallet and you then had to move it to the Interest Account.

The government is protecting consumers from those nasty high yield accounts. We're much better off when the traditional banking system keeps that value.

I'd like to thank my Fed Overlords for protecting me from earning 8+% on my deposits. Seriously, WTF.  

 
What do I buy????

Feel free gurus to chime in. This is how I started....

LEVEL 1 -Fantasy football.

- Draft RBS early and wait for kickers/DEF

Open an account on coinbase ON PHONE and purchase some ETH.  This will give you ETH to trade into other coins and ETH is used to pay the fees.  https://nomics.com/assets/eth-ethereum

Download google authenticator to your phone

LEVEL 2 - do some research and maybe a mock draft or 100

maybe buy another coin/token.  Here is a list.....   https://nomics.com/

The lower the dollar amount, the higher the risk (in general)

A win or loss of 10% in a day is normal

LEVEL 3 - PPR - money leagues

So,  you lost some money, nice.  now its time to get into $$$.  

  1. I use chrome browser
  2. download https://metamask.io/ to browser
  3. create an account
  4. write down those passwords and phrases!  it might be worth alot someday!
  5. In the middle, it says "account 1"  copy/paste that mutha into something and keep it.  That is your new bank account number
LEVEL 4 - The big leagues

  1. Put a bunch of $$$ into ETH, just like in step 1.
  2. log into coinbase on a COMPUTER.  
  3. CLick ETH on left
  4. CLick WALLET tab in the middle
  5. CLICK send all, and then change dollar amount to $100 for a test.
  6. in the "to address" paste the metamask address you copied from under "account 1" earlier.
  7. Click continue
  8. Click SNED NOW
  9. Hope it shows up :)


to be continued if wanted

I am pretty heavy into DeFi and I only understood about half of that.
The Platypus stuff is pretty deep.  These new dexes are playing with tokenomics to keep TVL.  Gotta dig to understand what they're doing (I haven't looked at that one).

I am, however, deep into DFK and spread a lot around, including bridging JEWEL over to AVAX to stake and get the crystal airdrop (that pool had the best ratio by far).  Got lots sitting on Harmony for the airdrops there, too.  I don't know how much I'll be getting, but I'm excited to see what mana from heaven gets dropped on me.

 
For anyone opening an itrust cap account. My 1st ach took at least a week. Today I did my 5th and it took about 2 hours.

I should note that A Lot of coins/tokens are available on exchanges.  For instance.  I think I had to buy BAT and SHIB through the hard method.   I have CRO on the crypto.com app, so I decided to look there.  Both are there it seems (unless its a scam to get you to use thier wallet)

I like having my own wallet/bank on metamask, but I might just be old school.

HEX (hard to do, but i can help), ETH, CRO, BAT, SHIB are what im in right now.

also in the https://pulsechain.com/ and https://pulsex.com/ but those are sacrifices.  whole nother level of gambling.  and its too late for the good odds.  I would wait for them to actually come out before gambling on these.

 
Im pretty much all in on HEX and its spin offs.  pulsechain and pulse x.  very big gambles.  wish me luck!!!!

(by all in, I mean, with a good amount of gambling money.  like enough to retire if it booms.  but I have most capital in very safe stuff.  im ok, promise )  :banned:

only posting this because I went on a pretty horrific tilt earlier .  all is well

Anyone hear of token loop exchange? I received a communication about a giveaway which is as common a promotional tool as it is a scammer tool. They contacted via a helium discord community. I found a website but haven't really found anything independent. 

I'm assuming this is a scam. A couple others in the same channel posted that they received the same thing. While it's possible it's a legit promotional giveaway to multiple people. I still haven't found any independent sources that would support its legitimacy.

Why is bitcoin dropping because of the Russia/Ukraine stuff?

If anything, shouldn’t crazy world issues (and interest rate issues) make more people flock to investments like bitcoin?

I'm just speculating, but broader uncertainty in the world is generally bad for risk-based assets, and BTC would still qualify as a risk asset to most people.

I think that's sound analysis, thank you. 

I'm looking to begin a position again in GBTC.   I put a buy for 100 in at $23.50, currently $25.93, roughly BTC $34K.  Will keep adding if it continues to drop.

I also think BTC is controlled by whales/corps now.  The individual means nothing

Because the gas pumps aren't accepting a bitcoin to fill up your car/truck.

I changed my order to $22.50 as I believe we get closer, and possibly below, $30k.

 
Has anyone looked at Anchor?  https://app.anchorprotocol.com/

Thinking about parking some cash there to earn 20% interest!! 
I have no research in this.  But there have been others like this that offer high interest and then it doesnt matter because it goes to #### anyways.

I think if you are looking for safe (20% or whatever) vs a gamble, why not ETH?  You know that sucker is gonna go up more than 20%

not saying dont do it, just, make sure good team, etc

Yes, a bunch.  Right now it's fine. The degenbox strategy was draining the Treasury there and 450M was put in to boost.  I think they're trying to block at this point.  I'd feel comfortable with UST, just watch the Treasury and if it drains go ahead and drop out.

BTW, Terra is now the 2nd biggest network behind ETH.  So big, but still with some systematic risks.

 
What's the coin or the play if you want to invest in the general NFT gaming landscape without buying and selling individual NFTs specifically? 


LRC by Loopring. Loopring's tech lowers the gas fees on the Eth blockchain. Their tokens get burned up via transactions. 

It is currently trading at just 75 cents per token. IMO, It is criminally underpriced.

I think your LRC take is connected to your stock takes.  

we shall see.  if you hit, you will hit on all🤞  Hoping the best for you...

regarding lowering the gas fees.  ive put my money on pulse.  So far its in the sacrifice stage, I DO NOT recommend getting in now.  I would wait until its launched.

Putting in... in the early stage of the sacrifice stage was a huge gamble.  we shall see

It's been explained how to buy some of these things but my partially demented mind just can't comprehend it.  :(

Bitcoin blowing up like I thought it could,

Same wallet, same hood…it’s all good.

:mellow:

(if Biggie was alive during crypto)

 
Put a big chunk of money into Defira the day after it opened and luckily had a decent pile of TRANQ to go with it.  They seemed to have hit a nice tokenomics sweet spot by locking a bunch of rewards and at the same time are going to issue heroes to help release that early.  I'm sniffing the fumes - even discounting the sealed rewards portion the unlocked rewards are pretty sweet.  TRANQ has almost tripled in the last week, which is always nice when you're holding a chunk of it.

Also piled a bit into Yieldwolf last night.  FTM-TOMB at 625% and a flyer on FTM-TAROT at 2M%.  Not sure why the TAROT one is so high as the farm coin isn't that degen.  On a risk adjusted basis it's really appealing.

Otherwise been trying not to worry about this swoon and slowly convert rewards into BTC and ETH and keep farming those to expand bag size.
