Recently I was talking to a relative of mine and they told me that years ago they bought a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin back when it was extremely cheap. At the time they thought it was just another scam, forgot about the wallet and lost access to the email associated with it. They say that they still know what the email is just not the password and if its even still accessible due to years of inacitvity. Any advice or will the bitcoin sit in that wallet till the end of times? submitted by /u/kimilsung5000 [link] [Kommentare]

Crypto failed to find a purpose as traditional banking continued to improve, leaving most to believe there's no legitimate usecase out there. However, those services must always charge a fee; that's their profit model. Therefore, the unique usecase of crypto must stem from micropayments, which traditional systems are unable to cater to. Up til now, the ability to send $0.000164376 instantly (for free) has not been particularly useful. nanodrops.org changes that. The pay-per-minute of viewership with dynamic rate is a real, tangible tool for the world of livestreaming, and no other currency is suitable for this new market. Streamers spend millions of dollars (likely through crypto) to "clippers" – people who create and share clips of the streamer on social media. The objective is to ultimately get more viewers for their streams, as streaming platforms lack discoverability; the only way to get seen is to already be seen. This also explains why streamers are intent on inflating their views via bots (viewbotting), but the platforms are now aggressively clamping down on this practice. nanodrops.org is the most direct, and potentially most cost-effective method in this artificial industry; just pay the viewers to watch you. nanodrops.org directory submitted by /u/St0uty [link] [Kommentare]

I need something that’s relatively cheap as I am actively swing trading (spot). I value privacy so my first options were either: Thorchain or Hyperliquid Let me know cheap and privacy oriented options that can be trusted. CEXs are out of the question. submitted by /u/Interesting-Honey253 [link] [Kommentare]

I've always wondered whether rewards actually change people's behavior or if they're just a nice bonus.For example, would earning crypto back on everyday purchases make you: Use one payment method over another? Spend more often? Hold the rewards instead of cashing them out? Or does it make no difference at all? Traditional credit cards have been using points and cashback for years, and it clearly works for a lot of people. Do you think crypto rewards are any different, or is it basically the same psychology with a different asset? submitted by /u/DefinitionNo6275 [link] [Kommentare]

Please refrain from spreading misinformation or recommending Switcher.finance without conducting thorough verification. Based on my personal experience, I firmly believe that Switcher.finance is a scam. I unfortunately lost 500 USDT after using it. I have already reported the incident to the platform’s moderators and provided them with all the necessary details. I am writing this as a cautionary message to all users. Please exercise extreme caution and refrain from sending any funds or engaging in any activities with the platform until a proper investigation is conducted. If you or anyone else has had a similar experience, I encourage you to share your story here. Stay safe. submitted by /u/Notyours_Jaxk [link] [Kommentare]

Anyone else get their money stolen from [r/simpleswap](r/simpleswap)[_io](r/simpleswap) ? Sent 25 dollars in btc to swap to sol, they cancelled the transaction and “refunded” my money to a random wallet address - after multiple times of telling them to return it to the exact same address that sent it. Luckily only $25 but I’m sure others had had similar experiences? What is the recourse for these scammers? submitted by /u/lobstermashedpotatoe [link] [Kommentare]

This idea has been posted before and isn't new, just starting the discussion again. It would be a perfect opportunity as Sony have just announced the demise of the physical disk. What if the right to play the game existed on the blockchain, you could trade the game just by transferring that token. It could work cross platform, you could just plug your keys into the console you're using or authenticate using it's native identity platform. Games have not been stored on discs for years but the right to play has been kept on them as a physical token to unlock the right to play. For me this is a perfect use case that cannot be forged or pirated. The contract is issued by the game company, it can be onsold this way, borrowed for a period of time under contact etc, use case is endless. submitted by /u/whiteycnbr [link] [Kommentare]

XTZ made a fresh all time low about a week ago, around $0.20, and we're barely above it now. Down 97% from the top, below the floor that held since 2018. Market cap is around a quarter billion, which is basically what the ICO raised in 2017. Nine years, round trip. Crypto is rough everywhere right now, but Tezos has been hit harder than most. For context, I'm a generative artist. I've released work on Tezos and so have a lot of artists I know, some of their best stuff, in small digital editions. So I'm biased, obviously. But I've watched this ecosystem the whole way down, and the gap between what it is and what it's priced at is kind of absurd at this point. The art is the part outsiders don't get. Minting costs pennies here, so artists actually experiment. That's why hic et nunc blew up in 2021 and why fxhash became the home of generative art. Thousands of artists, millions of works. Zancan's Garden, Monoliths gets talked about next to Fidenza. William Mapan dropped Dragons here before Art Blocks made him famous. All that work lives on this chain and nowhere else, and to me the coin is sort of backed by it. Not like gold in a vault, more like real people who stayed through the whole crash because they're here for the work. Meanwhile the chain never stopped. 21 upgrades since 2018, no forks, no downtime, and the 21st just went live on June 30. Blocks are 6 seconds, and a transfer costs a fraction of a cent whether it's $10 or $10k. And there's genuinely interesting stuff ahead. Etherlink (the EVM L2) went from about $1.5M to $82M TVL last year. And Tezos X, the biggest architecture change in the chain's history, has its testnet live and is aiming for mainnet this summer. Bear case is real: maybe none of this flows to XTZ, competitors have more money and attention, NFT volume is a shadow of 2021, and cheap can always get cheaper. If Tezos X slips, nobody will care. I hold a little XTZ, so not financial advice. But for me it comes down to one thing: artists kept releasing their best work here through the entire crash. Chains with actual culture don't just disappear. Or at least I hope not. submitted by /u/Slackluster [link] [Kommentare]

From what I heard, the vast majority think BTC is the undisputed king. While Xrp is not that interesting anymore. Some treat XRP even as a joke. Am I correct in my assessment? View Poll submitted by /u/Fun_Kangaroo512 [link] [Kommentare]
