I have been interested in XMR for a while now, just for a caveat, it makes up around 10% of my crypto holdings.I'm based in the UK and it seems to be impossible to buy XMR with GBP. I've heard it's the same around Europe, governments are cracking down.You have to buy another CryptoCurrency and exchange it for XMR using a swap site, adding fees and spreads to the purchase price. There's something c...

I just sold mine I earned years ago as it seems there's no up to date information about whether they're still distributed or have any utility.It took several hours of faffing around on the Arbitrum network using bridging and multiple different android apps but I got there in the end.My question is are they still a thing? Do I earn them for commenting, or if not how do I earn them? Where do they go...

I read lot of posts in the web that state "Bitcoin is the new gold".But I disagree with this statement, as Bitcoin is only a financial asset, but gold has several other uses, e.g.:Jewelry and Crafts: used already 5000 years ago to create masterpiecesDentistry: dental crowns and bridgesChemistry: gold acts as catalyst in several reactionsElectronics: gold is used for connectors, contacts, circuit b...

BTC has been stuck in a sideways channel for a while now, and historical volatility is nearing two-year lows. For some, that signals boredom - but to me, it's the classic sign of accumulation before a sharp move, either up or down.In the past, these quiet periods were often followed by spikes that caught most market participants off guard. The challenge now is that once BTC starts moving, the enti...

Because if I'm not selling why would i be happy?And sometimes i just feel like "oh I'm just gonna watch my portfolio melt soon but I'm not selling"Idk about the never selling philosophy. I feel like it's affecting me negatively.I thought of trading with 20% of my stack.I started really buying from 55k (after failing to...

The Buyback MythWhy XRP May Be Priceless, But Never For SaleA quiet meeting. No headlines. No cameras. Just a question on a piece of paper:“How much do you want for your XRP?”You write a number. Maybe it’s $10,000. Maybe it’s $1 million.The official nods, takes the paper, and walks away.You don’t get a counteroffer. You don’t get a thank you.You get one thing: silence.

So there I was — after a long night of gambling, drinking, some questionable decisions, and a sprinkle of Santa’s snow — and a wild thought hit me:What if Satoshi isn’t gone? What if he’s just waiting?Maybe he has an endgame we’ve never even considered. What if he’s still alive, sitting back and watching the chaos, while the world argues over whether Hal Finney was the real Satoshi? Or maybe it wa...

Best Platform Available in NY?Hi all, I am done with Coinbase, the fees are absolutely insane. In the crypto world, the state of NY is crazy about what is allowed and what isn't as far as which platforms you can download. I am looking for a legit, secure site to purchase crypto without the insane fees that Coinbase charges. Does anyone have suggestions, again, has to be compliant in the state of N...
