Hello, Is Staking safer than Delegating? I'm inclined to believe that Delegating your coins (Ethereum, Solana) to a node is not safe, because you a literally handing your coins over to a 3rd party (like an exchange). Nowadays even the software wallets have their own nodes and you can Delegate...

Hello, Hardware wallets have a software platform/app like Trezor and Ledger have. These remind me of "decentralized" software wallets like Atomic Wallet. And, all of these somehow remind me of the cryptocurrency exchanges. Which tend to lose/steal/block access to crypto. Can hardware wallets...

Hello, Do you know of any hard wallet that allows you to set your own seed words (backup phrases)? 'cause most of 'em just generate them by themselves, which might as well be the biggest scam, since their own system can generate (and remember) their own passwords. So the manufacturer/hacker...

Perhaps proof of stake is not better, but worse. It's not good if a coin is not neutral (Bitcoin is neutral, not controlled by anybody), but Ethereum and Cardano have businessmen behind them. The more coins they have, the more they control the market and the outcome of the price. My personal...

Helllo, I've been researching more and more cryptos in the past months and now I got stunned at the tremendous price crash of SushiSwap (which used to be quite well-known and often talked-about). It's very low, could barely go lower (1.5-1.6 $), been above 22 $. So it's near zero territory...

Hi, I was wondering - since there was so much news about state-launched cryptos - is the greater public able to buy? If so, where and how? I've read about eNaira from Nigeria, the Sand Dollar from the Bahamas, digital renmindbi from China, Petro from Venezuela - but as far as I know these are...

So, gold went above 2,000 $, but now even the Fed admits that they're expecting "uncomfortably high inflation rates" for another 12 months (my prediction: at least several years!). Turkey and Europe are experiencing 10+% inflation. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is still ongoing and the west...

The old BitTorrent will be swapped for a more diluted new type BitTorrent. The old's price and the new one's price: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bittorrent/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bittorrent-new/ The new one will be more diluted (there will be 1,000x more coins)...

Hello, I recently came upon a program that allows easy mining on a laptop for a series of coins. UnMineable is very easy to set up even on a laptop: https://unmineable.com/coins I've researched the issue, just that I'm not sure whether the application can be trusted. Antivirus programs...

According to various sources - for instance, CoinDesk, the Revolut "card operator" is working on launching a crypto exchange: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/11/04/revolut-looks-to-hire-tech-lead-to-build-a-crypto-exchange/ Revolut is a huge competitor of banks due to lower currency...

Ravencoin is a coin and a platform at the same time. It's not like Ethereum, but right now what comes to mind are Cardano, Solana. The creators claim their biggest competitor is ERC20 (the Ethereum token). That sounds like a major ambition. They also claim it's easy to mine on a single laptop...

Hi, I've found various offers on "SPECIMEN" banknotes (literally red-labeled as such) and I know that usually these notes are worth from hundreds of thousands of USD (provided that they're also UNC). Is this a general rule? I've recently come across a 45 $ offer on a "SPECIMEN"-labeled...

Hi, How low do you expect ETH do dive? I think the bottom could be somewhere between 1,000-1,500 $. By checking the charts I can see a typical asset bubble shape popping and by taking account of the 2018 bubble, I think ETH can go this low (but I might not be right). What do you think?

Suppose you have 1000 $ to invest and you can choose from two coins: ETH vs BTC. Which one would you pick? After seeing the blast-off and dramatic rise of ETH vs BTC in the last 2 years, I think ETH would be the best choice. ETH was only 120-130 $ in the first days of 2020 and now if is...

Hi, I was wondering (since there were so many scams with exchanges), could the hardware wallet-makers steal your coins from the wallets they make? Or, could someone hack into their system and get to your coins?

Hello, Bitpanda.com claims you can buy Bitcoin (and other crypto) without KYC, just with a card directly. Has anyone tried? Opinions?

Hi, I came across this video about Atomic Wallet - claims to be a password protected "secured" wallet for multiple cryptos. Good or bad? Scam or real? What are your opinions, has anyone ever used it? Would you move your coins into one of these wallets?

Has this ever occurred to you: Avast Antivirus scans your wallet, upon opening it and warns you about it being "suspicious software" and tells you that it's "sending it" for further investigation. Then, your wallet's .exe file's shortcut disappears from your Desktop. Upon checking, the entire...

There is a lot more in the article - worth checking the source - they believe that a crash could be similar to the "Dotcom bubble" burst: "...came rumors that crypto-hating Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was about to go on a holy war against digital currency, causing a flash crash last...
