A lot of domain investors also invest in crypto currency it seems as of late. I usually feel pretty confident that a domain I carefully acquire today will be a 10x+ my investment including holding time. If say, I were to buy bitcoin today, is it feasible that i would get 10x my money?

for al u crypto pros here.. generally do u love stable coins? used them a lot?
whihc is best?

what do u think is the reason why companies that payout in crypto... whetherr domain markets or other... prefer to use btc... with its high fees and slow speed... and big flactuations.. instead of just payout in one of the stable coins. which then recever can use as he wants...when he wants......?

cheers

Larry Harmon, the CEO of Coin Ninja, was arrested earlier this week. Authorities suggest that he was involved with AlphaBay, a darknet marketplace, in a $300 million money laundering conspiracy. Harmon’s family has denied his connections with the darknet website.

Creator of Helix
Interestingly, Harmon is also the creator of Helix, a Bitcoin mixing service. Mixing services break Bitcoin transactions into smaller amounts which makes them hard to trace.

couple quick questions for the more crypto savy here than myself:

do you somehow monetize your cryptos while hodling? if so how? savings account with that 5-10% year interest? other methods?

i only own a bit of crypto... but would like to trade a bit and get hang of it... instead of starting wit the more complex exchange service... i am thinking of coin swap services.. like changelly... what do you think of this? fees seem reasonable... any of you use those services? if so, is changelly about the best of them all?

thanks, cheers.

Some coins can be staked. Usually it means that you have to have these coins in a hot wallet (a wallet on your computer running online and to my understanding it servers as kind of node in most cases).

I don't know about other coins, but for example Navcoin (NAV) supports cold staking in a pool (Navpool) with up to 10 % interest.

Not financial advice as there are risks but Crypto.com has an earn program where one can deposit different Crypto currencies and earn interest on deposits. The rates depend on the time period and whether, the type of currency and whether one also has deposited an amount of MCO ( one of their in-house currencies they use to pay out rewards on their credit card).

anybody here getting airdrops or subscribing to them? did you collect much overall or its basically not worth it? im kinda new to airdrops and crypto in general... of course not newbie.. just not expert...

but i ask about airdrop and such cause today without subscribing to anything i went to chekc my ether balance and I got like 100$ of paxos linked in there.. and today I see token#2 added out of blue... its kicktoken.. total value i got is like 180usd now.

so anyway.. not sure why but quick read tells me its like most airdrops.. so basically random selections of users.. though i think this one is frozen or something... so i cant touch or trade this? ne1 got this too?

meh... ok so i read some more about.. its some kinda frozen drop... cant use them... some promo for future use.. maybe...

i think stuff like this is making me think of spamming by email.. now companies have chance to spam people's ether address with frozen crap promotions..

pretty lame actualy. would you say? welcome to the age of cryptospam lol

ok relative crypto beginner here..

can you guys tel me if you use bots to trade for you? on some sites? whcih ones? or write your own buy sell bots? or do you just use the buy sell orders on exchanges?

or you do not bohter to keep daily track of bitcoin ups and downs (or other coins) and try to sell a bit on a daily basis when its high ... and then buy back when it goes bit lower.. and thus make bit of daily profit like this...

is this overall a good strategy for some extra income?

I wouldn't waste time looking into bot trading unless you have some serious cash or coins. Before in the old days when there were no big players and the exchanges were just created by some smalltime coder; bots and arbitrage trading etc for small players were still profitable. Right now, with all the fees the exchanges charge and also the big players have stepped in so you have no chance at a shot of doing anything useful. Just buy a few coins and put it aside. Make sure it's not money you care about. Crypto moves quick and it's not a pretty ride day to day. Right now Bitcoin is trying to stay above $8500..there's a strong chance it'll break below that and fall below $8000.. so get ready to pickup some. Ethereum seems pretty strong still..I'd stay away from the other coins until the dust settles from this coronavirus scare subsides.

ty for advice.. so your saying its not really that doable nowadays to make profit on smaller daily trades when bitcoin drops by 300-500$ on a day and then goes back up? cause I think this still happens almost daily. its just matter of exchanging at that time.. hence my question about lettings bots do it.. or placing buy sell orders cause I think thats what they are for no?

If you let bots do it. I hope you're not in the USA cuz you have to report trades now.

yes thats what I meant ... youd need bots for that i guess.. unless you sit by your comp or fone... and watch your alert extensions..

im just newbie now to this.. and don't even have a proper exchnge account... so I Cant speak much about buy sell stops... or whatever they cal them.. but I guess that does the same job as a bot.. more or less.. im sure there is stil people out there who make a few bucks daily just from small couple hundred up down btc jumps..

Cryptohopper is one used by many.
I don't reccomend getting into crypto bots unless you have money to lose.
I DON'T use this bot.

Correct, you can do that manually.
Set buy price, set sell price on most platforms. You don't need a bot for that.

Bots "Determine" that for you thru algorithms which some people love. I was given a custom made bot about a year ago and it worked 70% of the time. The other 30% cost me a nice chunk of change.
I personally rather use my six sense and do it manually.

well.. been using changelly to make few exchanges of coins.. not buys.
0.25% rate is decenbt right??? from what I Read.

but I also joined today binance for fun. easy login setup just email basically... so no signups even.. not sure if other xchanges need signuips... either way binance looks good.

still probably real bad to leave coins there right?

other than this the fees changelly vs binance are almost same.. so not saving much.

buying crypto with like credit card is diff story.. everywhere is expensive... or do you guys know of cheap easy places to use like credit card to buy bit of btc? or how do you get some btc when u need to buy it? cheers

I always thought Changelly is best for credit card crypto purchases, but maybe things have changed. I stopped using a card due to the high fees, but if I was to use one Changelly would be first option.

i read its bad with changelly for fees on buy crypto.. its so bad that for long time they didn't even disclose properly the fees.. so people got hit with suprises lol.. now they are more clear about fees.. but fees remain bad

there is tons of buy with cc services... just thougth u guys had some faves. feel free to share.
ty

ps. i actually wrote changelly recently to ask why when i typed tentatively i want to buy 100$usd worth of btc with my cc I am shown equivalent of 80-85$
using thta simplex gateway.. well.. they didn't really help.. they basically tried to convince me i am seeing 95$. can't argue with that kinda support i guess. they do not listen to what u see.. and just tell u what u should see. nice.

ok so I just joined my first ever exchange a day ago... binance... easy interfae and options and signup..... i like it.. man.. is it ever easier to run a trade on exchange than say changelly or coinswitch! if I use bnb then the fee also gets cut.. maybe not by 50%.. but say 25%

i am never go bck to changelly this is for sure.

so either way, I placed my first trade order but as out of luck, btc has almost not moved much since yesterday! even just before that I think it had 300-400$ per 24h jumps... but not yesterday lol

oh well guess I wait.

all in all, can u guys comment when yu do quick daily trades like this aiming for little profits/loses at a time.. i forget how they call them.. daily shorts or what not... then do you kinda try to analyze ptterns and sell btc both when its going up, predicting that soon it'll reverse and go down and then you can buy back more of it... as well as sell it on its way down casue you expect it'll go down even further and then also u can buy more of it than originally you had before selling.

euh... that was nasty... aparently as nasty as that tokenplus scam.. literally..
how many btcs was that in all... 50k? i forget. i thnk they got 20k left to sell. so maybe all over soon?

so what do you guys do when you see your bitcoins fall from 9k to 8k in one day.. and if u didn't exactly buy yours at 100$ per btc either ;)

time to hve some fun with the old crystal ball..

what are your min max btc predictions for 2020?

Proof of work cryptos like bitcoin and ethereum have scaling issues but there are solutions in the works (lightning network for bitcoin and proof of stake plus sharding for ethereum). In the short run, price is driven by flows into or out of the market. Leverage amplifies volatility. That said Coinmarketcap is currently under $250 billion which is less than 0.1% of global wealth of $360 trillion end of last year. I could be wrong but my view is long term crypto will grow to between 3-5% though it might take 20+ years and many cryptos will fade out of existence. We do not use hundreds of different search browsers or hundreds of different social media platforms. Ok my Comcast lineup has over 200 channels but how many do I use in a typical month? We don't need hundreds of different tlds or cryptocurrencies.

i read every single upward trend of btc for past while since tokenplus scam money came into exchanges, has been killed right away by tokenplus money. i think word is it'll continue til tokenplus sells all their scammed money .. and they got i think 20k of btc left til its done.
so this tokenplus had big impacts i read.

oh yeah i forgot to say my predictions.. maybe end of year we come here to see who was closest..

2020:
min 5500
max 16800

Cautious approach right now! Corona is causing markets to go down so a lot of people are moving to cash or selling risky assets to cover some margin calls..etc.. Now isn't the time to be buying..Wait til the air clears up.. we might see 6k btc

had my first .. and i think last.. taste of coin trading... on binance.. didn't realize it before.. i guess we never realize in life until we try someting.... but as I made the few trades, i realized it is PRECISELY like trying to predict btc value in a year.. or month.. or 5 years. only on short time scale.. so yeah.. this is not for me for sure.. i think i'll just hodl... i think i read somewhere that overall.. daytrading crypto nowdays is only profitable to 1-10% of traders. everyone else loses money. its like gambling. too much tension and stress. i'll stick to domaining lol. 1 year ownership is less stressful than shorttime daytrades lol

all in all I made like a few trades... a few I lost on.. a few I profited. so when I withdrew from binance, i was +20$... quite while ahead... but it felt exactly like gambling.. and even if you do 10000 trades... u can't really get better at gambling.

i duno maybe in the extreme case we see btc in freefall for one day straight.. or few days in a row... and we're around to catch this.. cause not all are... then its great to use binance or even changelly to quickly preserve our btc value into stable coins (Which aren't bullet proof either but more or less are I guess). but even when you do this.. its still bit like a daytrading.. and u cannot predict when it'll go basck up... or go above what you put into stable coins.

this is how i feel about that. but im kinda new to crypto so feel free to comment. i mean do you guys do daytrades? or regularly convert to stable coins back and forth .. which is well... trading too I suppose... even if sometimes longer term. cheers. ty.
