“Most people hear about crypto only during periods of rapid growth of Bitcoin” | Live Bitcoin News

Coinbase debit card will continue 4% cashback in Stellar for another month.

Coinbase Cashback Rewards will continue to support 4% Cashback paid out in Stellar for 30 more days. This will come as a pleasant surprise for most Coinbase card users since in the past the max % would fluctuate between 2-4%, 4% usually being paid out in Stellar. Keep in mind you can immediately swap Stellar for any other crypto on Coinbase after you receive the cashback reward, just understand that it is a taxable event when you choose to do so. Coinbase card Cashback Rewards are only available to US customers at the moment but this program may expand to other countries in the near future.

I would like to own my piece of the Bitcoin pie, and would like to start to incrementally acquire it. However, I’m curious as to which is the best method to buy. Is Coinbase a good place to start buying and holding, or should I find another option?

Who got you into crypto?

Hi guys, Curious about who or what alerted you to cryptocurrency, and why you are still in it? How have your interests changed as you learned more about it? Do you still have similar goals (probably in making money) to when you first started? For me, I had a friend who tried to explain Ethereum to me around May 2021 and I began researching it on my own. Shortly after that, a different friend was amazed that someone he knew had made a lot of money on Dogecoin and told me about when he bought and sold. Not ever having invested in something before, this was all completely new to me and frankly a bit overwhelming. But like you, I am still here and accumulating. It seems to me that many are attracted to the idea of making a quick buck but may then also gravitate towards researching the tech and investing in projects that look promising or already have a big following. What are your thoughts?

When the ATH hits

A bit of a vague-ish question because I'm still new to crypto, so bear with the vagueness of the question and hive me your personal not-necessarily-an-answer experience. For those who experienced the last bull run... When the ATH(ish) hit... When you realized, oh, shit, it's selling time - my crypto has gone up that much. What kind of timeframe were you looking at before it was too late to sell? Was it minutes? Hours? Days? I heard rumors of someone trying to sell and the price already dropping again before the sale went through. Not sure how accurate that was, but y'know... 😂 Basically, when your crypto reached a decent selling high price, how quick did you have to be to sell? (Not counting those of us who hedl through the bull run and sold low becajse this is the way.)

Your crystal ball

If you had to put your money where your mouth was (I guess that’s what we are all essentially doing but humour me), what would you say: - BTC next ATH at the peak of the next bull run? - Same for ETH - The next big player that’s already in the market that will be huge in the next bull. The coin everyone will talking about, and why. Bonus points if your answer isn’t ‘Elon tweeted about it’. - Which well known coin disappears (no doubt LTC will somehow avoid this) - The current under the radar coin that makes it big (define big however you like - 50x, mainstream exposure etc etc) Let’s be honest if you can nail all of the above and you back it then thats the result we all want! Personally I haven’t bought anything in ages, funds have been going on life things, but I’m getting the need to jump back in with some investments and get involved again.

Anyone Want to Race to the Bottom?

How many scams are we up to now this year? I'm first in line to say crypto is great and all....but.... How many have you had to eat this year? I'm currently at 2: Celsius and YieldNodes. Anyone beating me? If so, how much did you risk/lose? I put 1,400 into Yield Nodes and withdrew a profit of 2,000. The other 1,500 is part of a rug-pull. Celsius I put in 5,000 USDC and it's all frozen on there. How much risk were you willing to take when you put "money you were willing to lose" into some thing that has collapsed or rug-pulled this year? I just kind of feel like talking about it for some reason. Would anyone want to look like a bigger idiot than me and be honest about it? Lastly, what scams have you fallen for that I didn't even mention here? Let me know the details and hell, maybe we'll get a laugh out of ourselves over it.

Does anyone else feel like defi is a robbing Peter to pay Paul?

I’m far from a financial expert and have a basic understanding of defi protocols. Essentially its like liquidity pools/farms make money from fees of using said platforms which is then paid out to those who have their money in the pools/farms. So basically it kind of seems like a ponzi because if there’s no new people putting their money in or no one using the platform to pay the fees then there’s no way to get rewards and it all crumbles. Please correct me if I’m wrong. My only argument in defense of continuing to use defi is that banks basically gamble with your money and pay disgustingly nothing in interest so may as well take the power into your own hands to make some money, granted it’s still a gamble and not insured like a bank.
