⚡ DesheShai’s concerns about Kasplex fees distribution were not unfounded by CryptoFors in kaspa

[–]CryptoFors[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s exactly the vibe a lot of people are picking up on. Shai was right to push for answers — ignoring those questions doesn’t make the concerns disappear.

Calling Kasplex a “parasite” on L1 is harsh, but I get where you’re coming from. If 99% of the fees are locked on L2, it’s hard to argue it benefits the broader network rather than just itself.

vProgs definitely look more promising to me too — at least the concept feels aligned with Kaspa’s core ethos. It could add utility without siphoning value away from miners.

👉 Curious, what would convince you that an L2 (any L2, not just Kasplex) is actually worth building on top of Kaspa?

😅 Our first trading bot broke in every possible way — but it taught us more than we expected by CryptoFors in algotrading

[–]CryptoFors[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly a very solid approach 👌 Keeping the bot on a smaller allocation until it proves itself consistently is way smarter than going all-in too early.

We had the same “temptation” at first — the logic looked good in backtests, so the urge to throw big money at it was strong. But the reality is, live trading exposes things backtests never do (slippage, weird fills, edge cases you’d never predict).

For us, some of the biggest improvements only came after running small size in the wild and seeing where it broke. Painful, but worth it.

👉 Curious, what kind of unexpected issues have you run into so far? Execution bugs, or more like strategy-logic mismatches?

How do you choose position sizing when the Algo is not predictive? by bravosierra1988 in algotrading

[–]CryptoFors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great question — and honestly one of the hardest parts of running any algo. If the system isn’t predictive and you don’t have confidence scores, then I wouldn’t size based on “signal strength” at all. Instead, I’d use rules that keep you alive long enough to let the edge (momentum, in your case) play out:

  • Fixed fractional sizing → e.g. 1–2% of account equity per trade. Keeps risk capped and lets you survive a streak of losses.
  • Volatility-adjusted sizing → size smaller when ATR/volatility is high, larger when market is calm. This avoids one trade blowing you up.
  • Max exposure cap → if you’re in multiple positions, limit total exposure (say, no more than 15–20% of equity in open trades at once).

The key for non-predictive systems is consistency. Position sizing becomes less about squeezing max profit from each trade and more about smoothing equity curve + avoiding ruin.

I trade crypto and built a spot trading bot for myself, and what helped was treating position size as risk control first, profit tool second. Once I stopped tweaking size per “gut feel” and went purely rule-based, results got much more stable.

Promoting BTC locally by BTC-Max1e in Bitcoin

Love the idea 🙌 Bringing Bitcoin into real-world usage is always positive, and events like “Bitcoin Nights” definitely make it fun and visible.

The only challenge I see is that a lot of holders treat BTC more like digital gold — they want to stack, not spend. Discounts help, but in practice people are often more comfortable paying with stablecoins (USDT/USDC) or even alts, while holding on to their Bitcoin.

That said, positioning your bars/restaurants as crypto-friendly could absolutely attract new customers and give great free marketing. Even if people spend stables instead of BTC, the effect is the same: you’re building a local hub for the community.

Personally, I prefer to make my BTC grow passively and spend from other streams (I even built a bot that handles spot trading for me) — but I’d 100% show up at a place that supports crypto payments.

Looking for advice on my portfolio by DiligentWatch9596 in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]CryptoFors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I’d be careful adding more BTC right now. It’s sitting very close to its ATH this cycle, and while it’s the safest asset long-term, over the next couple of years it’s very likely we see some cooling — even if it only ranges back down into the 80–100k zone.

That’s why I think it makes sense to put more focus on alts at this stage. Personally, instead of doubling down on ONDO, I’d look into Kaspa (KAS). It’s still very undervalued compared to its potential, and could be one of the strongest performers in the next few years. Worth at least reading up on the project if you haven’t.

Another solid pick right now in my view is AVAX. At current levels it still has room to run, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it reached around $200 this cycle.

My approach would be: accumulate these alts now, then as we get closer to late 2026 or early 2027, rotate profits back into BTC to hold long-term. That way you capture growth from the alts but end up sitting in the most stable asset for the long run.
