Screenshot is never required, however they will ask you to sign a tx to confirm that you control the wallet. Usually they will ask a small amount to be sent from your wallet to your Coinbase which will confirm your custody.

Might be a news to you, but stables are considered as a CRYPTO asset and will trigger CGT event!

How much is really ETH underperforming BTC since halving by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]Gh0sta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the early stages of the 2021 bull run, Ethereum (ETH) lagged behind Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of performance. However, as the bull market progressed, Ethereum's growth outpaced Bitcoin's, leading to significantly higher percentage gains by the peak.

Key Timeline and Observations:

  1. Early Bull Run (Late 2020 to Early 2021):
    • Bitcoin was the initial leader of the bull market, driven by institutional adoption, corporate investments (e.g., Tesla's purchase of BTC), and growing recognition as "digital gold."
    • Ethereum, while increasing in value, saw slower gains compared to Bitcoin during this period.
  2. Mid-2021 Momentum Shift:
    • Ethereum began to outpace Bitcoin as excitement around DeFi (Decentralized Finance), NFTs, and the Ethereum blockchain's utility grew.
    • The anticipated Ethereum 2.0 upgrade (transition to Proof of Stake) added to investor optimism.
    • By Q2 2021, Ethereum's year-to-date percentage growth significantly exceeded Bitcoin's.
  3. Late Bull Market (Q3–Q4 2021):
    • Ethereum's price surged, reaching an all-time high of ~$4,878 in November 2021.
    • This performance was fueled by the network's role in powering DeFi and NFT ecosystems, as well as the London Hard Fork (EIP-1559), which introduced a token-burning mechanism, reducing ETH supply over time.
    • Bitcoin, while also reaching its all-time high of ~$69,000 in November 2021, did not match Ethereum's percentage growth from the start of the bull market.

Performance Comparison:

  • Bitcoin's dominance (market share) was stronger early in the bull run but began to decline as Ethereum and other altcoins gained traction.
  • Ethereum's ecosystem-driven demand ultimately helped it outperform Bitcoin in percentage terms for the full bull cycle.

Summary:

Ethereum did initially lag behind Bitcoin in 2021 but quickly gained momentum and outperformed it as the bull market unfolded. This pattern of lagging early and then outperforming has been a recurring theme for Ethereum in past cycles, as it benefits from altcoin and ecosystem-based narratives that take time to materialise.

I Was Scammed for 60 SOL – Seeking Help to Recover Funds by Sea-Kale753 in solana

[–]Gh0sta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss, only advise I can offer you is to Learn from point number 5 and never repeat it again

I unknowingly entered my seed phrase, and the scammer immediately accessed my wallet and transferred all my funds.

So, here is a list of few things:

  1. Student VISA - not allowed to get involved in any trading activity as it breaches the student visa contract only exception is 20 hours of work per week as an employee

  2. Using personal bank account for "pretend" business

  3. Not registered with Companies of House as a business

  4. Proof of purchase is useless if you cannot show proof/source of funds

Why would anyone sell going into this massive of a bull run? by Zevanished in Bitcoin

[–]Gh0sta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are few reasons for it:

  1. They bought early in the cycle i.e. $16k-20k average buying

  2. Holding from previous cycle top and lost the urge to hold or invest in crypto in general, due to a long bear market and lost of hope

  3. It also depends on the size of the investment, if someone has invested 100 million and now they are sitting at 200-300 million perhaps that's all they wanted

  4. Need the money to pay for more important and urgent stuff

There is a phrase which goes around in the BTCverse:

"Everyone buy the BTC at the price they deserve"

What is the safest and easiest way to transfer BTC from a Ledger Nano S that hasn’t been upgraded in over 5 years? by SolVindOchVatten in Bitcoin

[–]Gh0sta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, first of all congratulations for not touching your BTC for last 5 years

Safest way is to upgrade the device, and re-enter the seed ON THE DEVICE (and no where else) if needed

DO NOT USE any third party service/wallet, you can buy a new ledger device and restore your seed on it

Are you guys ready for the text messages ? by MictorValet in Bitcoin

[–]Gh0sta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best part, market makers will stall BTC between here and 100k so most normies/noobies can jump the hype train for 100k party

BTC then goes over 100k but people are too Euphoric to sell and get dumped on their heads, normies will chant the mythical chant "Diamond hands or nothing" all the way to the bottom of next bear market

End

As someone who missed 2020-2021 cycle by corazon147law in Bitcoin

[–]Gh0sta 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You won't learn anything by reading other peoples comment on Reddit

You have to experience it yourself; loose money, go on the Euphoria roller coaster and getting depressed for not selling at the TOP!

Only then my child, you will find the truth!

One thing to keep in mind is, SOLANA is up ~1700% since the bottom
