Sunt obisnuit cu pierderile/ castigurile asa ca am o toleranta foarte ridicata la risc Eu initial faceam trading cu monede mai serioase din top 100, pana am invatat cum sa triez marea de shitcoins si sa gasesc proiectele marunte cu potential.

In general folosesc DEX-uri + exchange-uri care nu cer KYC, si pentru cashout/ investitii Ro e una din ultimele tari unde m-ar interesa sa locuiesc pe viitor/ platesc taxe/ fac investitii, so I'm all good, o sa ma mut unde e mai ok.

Some of the newer DeFi projects definitely have untapped potential. I would keep my eyes mostly on XIO Network (XIO), TrustSWAP (SWAP) cuz I think these two have huge potential, and maybe on some smaller things like Jarvis Reward Token (JRT), Meridian Network (LOCK), Statera (STA), Raise Token (RAISE). Haven't checked other projects, I currently hold these

Disclaimer: I do hold some big bags of XIO, SWAP and some small bags of the other tokens, so DYOR and don't invest following my advice 

Most of the smaller DeFi projects already made a 10-50x this year, so I'm expecting this trend to continue well into the future. It also depends if ETH will fix the high gas fees tho..

Eu am planuri mai wild Deocamdata am totul investit in proiecte DeFi mai mici sau mai mari pe care le hodluiesc sau cu care fac yield farming. Once in a while mai vand cate ceva daca face un 4-5x fata de ETH, si eventual reinvestesc in proiecte care sunt jos sau pe care le vad cu potential mare. Profitul va ramane in ETH pana va creste semnificativ fata de BTC (sa zicem un 0.05-0.1 BTC per ETH), apoi o parte din ETH il voi schimba pe BTC in caz ca va creste foarte mult BTC-ul, si cu alta parte voi face staking pe ETH 2.0 sau yield farming cu stablecoinuri pe ceva proiect mai serios, cat sa aduca un venit 100% pasiv. Apoi daca piata de tokenizare a asset-urilor fizice va evolua ok, nu m-ar deranja sa tokenizez apartamente si sa le inchiriez pe blockchain, chiria fiind platita prin smart contracts 

There's only one deflationary coin that will have a future tho, and that is BOMB token. It has the first mover advantage, and the team is working on it now and then, so in the long term it will be interesting to see where it goes. I have like 100 of them and I'll keep them there for a few years as an experiment, and see what happens.

DeFi seems to be the next thing indeed, but we should tread carefully and do serious research on new projects, because the smart contracts need to have zero vulnerabilities to prevent hacks and the teams need to be reliable. Imo, in the incoming DeFi bubble most money will be made with small projects that nobody knows about until they reach a mainstream status. Things like XIO, JRT, RAISE and a bunch of other lowcap DeFi projects I guess, but you have to DYOR very well to avoid the obvious scams and the not so obvious ones, cuz right now I bet theres a new DeFi token launched almost everyday, and many of them will fail

Mai partikipa lumea la airdrops?

Eu am prins doar trei airdrops bune, in rest mai am vreo 7-8 shitcoinuri care strang praful in walleturi.

1: BOMB token, cu airdropul primit plus ce am facut din flippuit monedele mi-au iesit vreo 8-10 eth
2: XIO, cand am vazut ca se face airdrop de 25:1 pentru hodlerii de bomb token am cumparat la loc niste bombe ca sa partikip la airdrop, aici am scos vreo ~20 eth
3: XCASH, aici aveau un airdrop lunar, din cele cateva luni in care am participat plus niste flippuiala am scos vreo 2 eth

It's not a shitcoin tho, I'm into the project since the BOMB token airdrop and I kept buying at low prices cuz I knew it has potential Anyway, I sold a lot on the pump and for the past days I rebought at a lower price. Now I'm waiting for the dapp launch to stake some of it and to sell when it pumps again 

Quick update, I made ~20x on XIO that was totally unexpected, but I don't think I'll ever catch another 20x again 

Let's revive this for a bit  I just made ~10x with XIO, and was wondering what other hidden gems there are, preferably undervalued coins that are not yet listed on coinmarketcap or serious exchanges.

Da, o sa fie ceva probleme cu tranzactiile peer-to-peer, dar intr-o anumita masura sper sa fie rezolvata cat de cat problema printr-o adoptie mai serioasa la nivel institutional/ guvernamental care sa echilibreze balanta si sa elimine argumentul ca crypto e folosit 90% pentru chestii shady asa ca trebuie sa "protect the children/ fight the bad crypto man". Cu cat este mai folosita tehnologia, cu atat ma gandesc ca vom avea un spate si o sustinere publica cu care sa echilibram deciziile guvernului.

Apoi, ideal cred ca ar fi sa apara si forme noi de organizare internationala cryptoanarhice, sa zicem ca ar fi sub forma de DAO sau asociatii in care sa participe nume importante din crypto si care sa ajunga in viitor sa aiba putere de decizie egala cu a unor guverne sau organizatii gen FATF, astfel incat sa poata influenta deciziile luate la nivel global in online si sa asigure un echilibru favorabil si pentru crypto.

Oricum, indiferent de viitor, mie prezentul si ultimii ani de cand m-am apucat de crypto mi s-au parut o perioada foarte interesanta, pe care o consider similara cu Epoca de Aur a Pirateriei: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Piracy Vorba lui Steve Jobs, "It's better to be a pirate than join the navy." 

Eu zic ca mai degraba viitorul va fi presarat cu un joc de-a soarecele si pisica intre o economie publica/ usor de urmarit de catre guverne si o economie privata, imposibil de controlat sau de oprit. Si asta va duce in timp la un mix intre cele doua, cu mai putine restrictii. First of all, in prezent din ce in ce mai multe industrii incep sa adopte tehnologiile blockchain si pentru asta au nevoie la inceput de reglementare si control ca sa aiba acceptul statului (fenomen cu care nu's deloc de acord, dar asta e directia in care se merge).
Apoi, faptul ca piata va creste si crypto/ blockchain va fi adoptat la scara globala va duce la un backing puternic, o sustinere generala si o educatie a publicului fata de fenomenul crypto in toate formele lui, si centralizat, si descentralizat cu plusurile si minusurile fiecaruia, iar centralizarea, controlul si deciziile proaste ale guvernelor vor duce catre dezvoltarea de noi metode de camuflare a tranzactiilor, trading anonim, atomic swaps, exchange-uri peer-to-peer, stablecoin-uri anonimizate si alte metode de eliminare a restrictiilor impuse in mod abuziv. Oamenii nu vor ceda asa usor, iar spiritul critic va creste pe masura ce vom avea acces mai usor la uneltele si informatia necesare pentru a ne opune opresiunii centralizate.
Monero, Piratechain, DEX-urile si celelalte metode de a tranzactiona anonim sunt folosite la scara redusa deocamdata tocmai din cauza ca in prezent nu sunt chiar atat de necesare, legislatia fiind inca destul de permisiva in general si abilitatea statelor de a abuza de transparenta blockchainurilor fiind inca destul de limitata, plus faptul ca educatia despre crypto este non-existenta. Dar cu timpul din ce in ce mai multi critici ai sistemului se vor orienta spre crypto, si in timp sistemele centralizate vor realiza ca duc o lupta cu morile de vant (Cut off one head and two will take their place..) si vor renunta la multe restrictii. Pana atunci atentie la pisica 

Haha, thx! Nu intru prea des pe aici, dar in rest citesc cam tot ce se poate despre crypto si privacy 

Era de asteptat, dar mare lucru nu vor rezolva Partea pozitiva din ce am inteles este ca va fi mai usor pentru exchange-urile care lucreaza cu fiat sa colaboreze cu bancile, deci exchange-urile noi nu vor mai putea fi refuzate asa usor de banci ca pana acum. Cine nu vrea regulation probabil se va descurca in continuare cu DEX-uri, TOR, VPN-uri, Monero, non-KYC exchanges, etc. deci nu-i dracul asa negru pana la urma.

"The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration."

"We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do."

Revin cu o varianta mai sigura de "paper" wallet  Daca tot am stat in casa cu toata carantina asta, am zis sa mai bricolez una-alta si pana la urma m-am apucat si de un paper wallet metalic. Am gasit niste tabla de aluminiu de 0.8mm ramasa de la un proiect mai vechi, am taiat cateva bucati, si dupa ce le-am pilit pe margine cat sa nu ma tai in ele am reusit sa scriu seedurile folosind un pix pe care l-am apasat mai tare. Pentru cine e mai paranoic poate sa treaca cuvintele din seed printr-un cifru clasic: http://practicalcryptography.com/ciphers/classical-era/ sau sa foloseasca un book cipher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_cipher Table groasa nu e neaparat un requirement, am incercat si merge ok si pe tabla de la o doza de bere, doar ca este mai subtire si mai fragila

There's also the Shuffle Monster, which IMO has the most interesting burn/ reward mechanism so far, with 2% transaction cost, 1% being burned and 1% being sent randomly to one of the first 512 wallet holders 

Well, this is pretty interesting   I bought some for fun just to get in the heap, and I already received two rewards after only two days 

Dammit, I traded my airdrop till I made ~950 bombs and then sold them la ~1.5$  Now I rebought 100 at a much higher price and I'll hold them as long as I can, since I expect some huge pumps in the future as it gets added to more exchanges and supply goes down.

Most people find out about the 100-1000x coins only after they mooned  In order to make 100-1000x from a coin you have to buy it when it's new, unknown, undervalued and only used on one or two small exchanges. I would suggest to look in the top 500-1000 coins on coinmarketcap and try to find hidden gems in there imo 

After seeing so much hate and butthurt trolls spreading FUD around here, I actually hope they don't enable withdrawals too soon  I don't mind keeping my crypto locked there, as long as the trolls get mad because they can't withdraw
