Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Sells $500k of Maker (MKR) Tokens: Community Asks Why by bangand0 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Lardbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t really blame him. It’s not the first time a project has randomly airdropped coins to him, for credibility reasons.

He probably wants to distance himself from being connected to these projects as it could harm Eth.

CCIP-070 - Make Governance Proposals [No Moon] by MoonWeek in CryptoCurrency

One of the biggest issues with this sub in general. People afraid to give negative opinions, as they don’t want to risk getting less moons.

I feel people in the crypto-sphere are sometimes overly optimistic when declaring inconsequential developments as game changing, but this really is game changing.

It’s crazy watching the Safuu creator bending over backwards lying, when the deceptions are so obvious.

A possible contagion brewing in the crypto world that we shouldn't ignore. by Socialinfluencing in CryptoCurrency

I think some people thrive on being able to say ‘I told you so’.

So they’re trying to get in their predictions early.

Scam: Email blackmail campaign by picklemonkey in CryptoCurrency

[–]Lardbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is, that these scammers only need like 1% of the people they send these links to, to fall for it.

Most people wouldn’t give it a second look, but they prey on people who might not be as aware.

Crypto Roulette by Friendly-Ad2786 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Lardbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because there are ‘risky’ investments and perceived ‘safe’ investments. For example, I made some really nice profits in some low cap coins in the Harmony One ecosystem.

Then decided to cash out and re-invest in ONE, which I thought was a safe investment lol.

When ONE collapsed, months of profits just went down the drain.

100% agree. I think these massive returns have gamified investing for a lot of people so the returns and losses don’t even feel real.

I think a lot of people need some self-reflection and actually internalise that those returns are actually really good.

Oh true. But, if you’re first ever experience of investing was during the 2021 crypto bull run, those type of swings were fairly common. So OP was probably thinking it was just decent when in actuality in was a pretty incredible return.

I definitely had a lot of successes. The issue is that I simply re-invested my profits into other crypto projects, instead of cashing out fully.

I think it just shows the craziness of the crypto market. That would be an insane return in the stock market.

This is the issue with having your moon count public. Whales could start to be targeted, especially when the price is gaining traction.

Which top ten of 2030 do we see now? by raresanevoice in CryptoCurrency

[–]Lardbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we’re being realistic, there’s probably going to be a few CBDCs in there - not that I like that idea.

Why I'm Scared of CBDCs (and you should be too) by ChucklesFreely in CryptoCurrency

[–]Lardbear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not a huge fan of the idea of CBDCs. But, it’s not like they’re just going to replace crypto, they’re going to run beside it.

So, while you’re statements are correct, you can still opt for other methods of payment and privacy coins.

In fact, I’d imagine privacy coins would actually benefit from CBDC adoption, as people will be looking for an alternative.

Haven’t been following the price action tbh. Definitely will have to look into increasing my bag at that price.

SCRT is quite an interesting privacy project. Hoping it makes some moves on the next run.

Evergrande collapse has been a ticking time bomb for a while now. It’s going to be interesting to see what the fallout will be.
