I was not sure where to post this so here goes. I am looking for an exchange that offers leverage.. I am in the UK, and sadly it seems this dystopian government have stopped all leveraged trading. I am looking for an exchange that will let me use leverage, 5x, 8x etc... Ideally that will accept GBP deposits to save me messing around with swapping in GBP to USDT and then wallet transfers. Any good suggestions?
Bitcoin's market price has suddenly dropped from a high of $123k to $118k. I don't think it's time to panic completely, but it's time to be cautious and patient. Some in-depth economic or technical analysis, self-control and a risk-taking mindset, and confidence in long-term goals are the most effective steps to take during this price fluctuation.
Do you have a long-term plan in Bitcoin during these volatile times?
holding through volatility is a common strategy...
Hi everyone, I’m new to Bitcoin and looking for reliable resources to learn from scratch. I’ve heard about Mastering Bitcoin and Andreas Antonopoulos’ videos. What other books, websites, or videos would you recommend for beginners? Thanks in advance
Bitcoin for Beginners by Peter Kent — a very accessible introduction

Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit

Why did Bitcoin’s creator set a hard cap of 21 million coins? could anything lead to changing Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit?
I've found some where I can be paid in POL, but they took too long until reaching minimum threshold to cashout.
I'm looking for instant payments, where I can claim directly to my wallet or microwallet. Also, I don't want to link any social media accounts in order to be able to use the faucet. The simplest the better.
Are there any available around? Thanks.
real instant POL faucets without social media links or minimum thresholds are very rare or unavailable currently.
Can you name few of them for me? I'd appreciate it if you do, struggling finding a trustworthy one.
I can't name them for you, but let me share platforms where you can find the appropriate exchanges you are looking for. The higher the ratings, the better. And also you will be able to check out if they require KYC verification or not and different reviews online.
Poor people and rich people view the economy differently. Some rich people may think that Oh, our country's economy isn't bad. We are living very comfortably. But then a question started nagging at me.
Is it possible that the rich don't realize how bad their country's economy is? If you want to understand the economy, you have to look at the bigger picture. But if the rich are only looking at themselves and the other rich people around them, it is easy to live in a bubble and not see how most of the citizens in their country are poor. I actually found an article from a few days ago discussing about "Money dysmorphia" by the New York Times. Basically, what was written was that due to how social media is used nowadays.... People may feel poorer than they actually are. In short, they do not realize how rich they are because they think there is always someone richer than them.
The article tackled more about societal pressure and this being the cause of anxiety and depression among youngsters but for me, I think it still applies even with middle aged people. Sometimes you will meet a man, well along his 30s or 40s, and will say something so dense and out of touch. Can you really discuss economy with someone who is extremely rich? Will their perception of the economy be objective or twisted?
For me, Berserk would be a great choice to start with
already watched that its nice!

Verify Downloads with Checksums
Always calculate and compare the checksum (SHA256 or similar) of any wallet software you download to ensure it hasn’t been tampered.
Good luck!

If Monero (XMR) gets relisted on major exchanges, it could see a dramatic price surge and potentially reclaim a spot in the top 10, given its recent strong performance despite limited access on mainstream platforms.

If you’re looking for big gains, keeping an eye on new L1s and upcoming airdrops like Monad might pay off way more than sticking with the usual picks like SOL.

Altcoins are similar to Bitcoin in being crypto assets, but stocks are generally more stable. Altcoins can actually help stabilize Bitcoin by absorbing some demand.
