On another note: Thailand is quite crypto-friendly and one more the more progressive countries in regards to blockchain revolutionizing finance and other sectors.

 

Why would anyone use banks these days to wire money internationally? New much cheaper and much faster services mostly run on such blockchains, e.g. XRPL. You won't know you're using it, but select digital currencies are for real, solving real problems.

 

Of course anyone has the right to ignore progress. If you're happy with the meager interest a bank account pays, oh wait, did I mention inflation?

Btc break above 45k would see 50 to 55k as targets. Then some profit taking.

Btc is only 30% off its all time high. This can be recovered in a very short time. 

It is also 30% from its local low. Risk to reward ratio is important here. 

 

I can see Btc hitting $200k this year and $1 million by 2030.

It might. 150k would be my target this year. 150/44 is a good return.

I am not. I am interested in it and think it's a great investment, nothing else. I used to go on about the TMB SET 50 back in the day, doesn't mean I was pushing it.

To quote someone that made me smile "Technical Analysis is Astrology for men". Although the area were I do think this does not hold is in scalping, which is a successful strategy because of bots causing the constant small scale volatility a given.

Technical analysis is vastly superior to fundamentals on trend changes. Volume and price. Thats all it is. You cant pick trend changes based on last year eps or future predictions. A 5 ema crossing a 63 ema shows based on mathatics the trend has change. Volume confirms this. 

 

Forecasting earnings is astrology. Most broker forecasts for profit past 18 months are rubbish. Nearly always wrong by wide margins.

 

And coins have no earnings so you cannot allocate pe rations or dcfs.

 

Tech analysis is the only way to view them.

 

 

Volume spike 1 day before low

Then 5 ema crossed 63 tema at 37,000

Now 44,000

 

So techs said trend change

 

 

 

What " funny mentals" predicted the trend change? There arent any.

 

Funny mentals only work with old school stocks like food etc with predictable earnings.

Do you really think if I was pushing bitcoin I would do it on a website where the average age of members is probably over 60?

Jeez, the hate in some of the topics is unbelievable. Pushing, shilling, Ponzi, pyramid, North Korea, Russia.. 

I think I'll go all in with polkadot.

 

I'll listen to neeranam on that one after reading this tidbit from Forbes

You can up to 17% apr on DOT, but I like the security/convenience of a US bank, Kraken. 

 

I am also big in Solana, and stake/farm that on Raydium exchange, getting 47% apr. 

 

Better to spread it around. I think it is wise to stay away from Bitcoin, as there are larger gains to be made elsewhere.

I agree with that figure if you know nothing about crypto.

Makes sense to research, learn and put 50%+ in.

Depends on knowledge. If you know a stock putting 25% might be the go. Same same crypto or anything.

 

 

I see some stupidly high staking returns on biance. How safe is this. Anyway, this one seems to be "sold out".

Binance is safe. 

 

I stake/farm EGLD/MEX on Maiar exchange, it's currently at 200% Apr but can't withdraw for 1 year.

 

This thread is epic.  Keep it running

I have an account with Block Fi and they had a promo that went like this.

 

For the first three months you earned 3.5% BTC rewards on all purchases and and 1.5% after three months.

You also earn interest on your crypto (any crypto) holdings that you deposit into your "interest account". 

 

They just cut out the option to adds funds to your interest account but you still earn interest on the crypto thats in there.  Once you take it out though you can't put it back into the interest account.

 

I don't know much about staking.  It seems like a hedge against crypto prices falling.  The only thing s is, like Neeranam said, it's locked up for a finite period so if crypto flies like it did last year, you miss out on those gains.  But if you're a HODL'r it might make sense.

 

Is this a correct understanding?

No, this 1 year period is only for the Maiar exchange as it is a new one. You can stake for 200% and wait a year or 14%, which you can sell any time. 

 

The 12% for Polkadot on Kraken has no holding period.  Kraken is a US bank and you can also get 2% on USD, 23% for Kava, 18% for Kusama, and many other that also don't have any tied up time. Only 0.25% for Bitcoin. 

 

The 47% for Solana/Raydium on Raydium exchange is also redeemable any time. 

 

I use the Crypto.com debit card and get 3% back on all purchases, free first-class airport lounges, free Spotify/Netflix and a few other benefits.

I just noticed ndax charges 20% fees on staking rewards which essentially cuts the interest to 9%. What are the fees on biance and kraken for staking rewards.

I haven't noticed any fees on Kraken.  The DOT is automatically restaked. 

 

There maybe be a small fee on Binance, not large enough for me to notice it.

Because my money doesn't drop 30% of its value in a weekend in a bank, all my money is transferred fine now, although I agree blockchains could be of future use, once there is a central bank crypto currency + banks using the technology, but the cryptocurrencies as of now are just Ponzi's, just don't be the last one holding the bag

Banks are using cryptocurrencies, you don't know what you are talking about. SCB were using XRP a couple of years ago for cross-border transaction but now using XLM, I think. All banks will have to use it or they will become like Blockbuster.
