    MetaMask, Infura Block ‘Certain Jurisdictions’

    Decentralization matters. Running a full node is important. Having full control of the private keys is important. Be careful out there In this case, running a full node and configuring Metamask to use it might have helped but the company behind Metamask has taken a lot of "private investments"...

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    This cryptos financial ecosystem is not for everyone. There are levels of risks. Not all defi projects pay that much, look at AAVE for more subdued APY's The more you go out the risk curve, the higher the APY(/R)'s One thing that is clear is that there are many cryptos people that have quit...

    Only RedDuke understands it correctly The ultra mega super duper high yields are paid out by the crypto project through newly-minted crypto tokens It's a form of mining new coins through a process called yield farming. There are YT videos out there You provide liquidity, by being an automated...

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    CNBC talks about this all the time, publicly traded companies are manufacturing growth (i.e. AAPL) through stock buyback. Mark Yusko has a more colorful way of putting this into words in some of the Blockworks YouTube videos To be fair, publicly traded bitcoin mining companies are now using...

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    It's because you've been conditioned to think that 1% is high APY when inflation is double digits per year There's a lot of inefficiencies in the traditional finance. The fat greedy people at the top are all keeping the yields in the forms of bonuses and stock options and compensations They...

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    I'm glad the concepts make sense The APY's are a function of the amount of participation in the liquidity pools. The more deposits, the lower the APY as the rewards are distributed among many participants Look at this picture, it has low APR's so it may seem the Solidex project is not a ponzi...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    What do you think the price of 1 bitcoin will be in 5 years? How about in 10 years? Imho, ~$500K/bitcoin and ~$1M/bitcoin, respectively I could be wrong, but I think most likely that the price of 1 bitcoin will be higher than now for the 2 timeframes mentioned above NFA

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    See my previous post for more info 100's or even thousands of percents do not make a crypto project a ponzi If the purpose (tokenomics) of the crypto project is a ponzi, that's what makes it a ponzi Is Sushiswap a ponzi? It's a decentralized exchange that has hundreds of millions of $ worth...

    BitConnect founder charged with orchestrating $2 billion Ponzi scheme

    You are looking at it, incorrectly Crypto tokens are ownerships in the crypto projects they are part of. Similar to ownership in a public company The issue that you ran into, is that Ohm is a failed project. The Ohm tokens' purpose is to transfer wealth (value) from the late buyers to the...
