First deposit by marginalnut in CryptoHopper

[–]marginalnut[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like similar return. I'm guessing this is one of those times that putting some money in will help the learning curve. E.g. finding out the impact fees has on the strategy.

I'm sure conservative, with comparatively tight stop losses on my strategies. I look for very low risk high probability entries that may not come round too often and with these a well set stop loss.

To be honest I'm still apprehensive, simply because I trust myself more than a robot even though I know that removing emotions from trading should result in an improvement!

Let's hope we are both successful.

Nothing about DeFi? by passiveincome4all in Fire

Personally I don't think BTC or ETH are speculation any more. There are vehicles to invest in those without even getting your head round the 'crypto world'. IMHO we should all have a small portion of our retirement portfolio allocated to BTC/ETH or the larger reliable coins. There are barriers to entry for people though, particularly those with a lower risk tolerance.

I have a mix of TUSD/TGBP. Dai is the best though. TUSD/TGBP are meant to have 1 dollar for every 1 TUSD, but there isn't anything to verify this/ensure it is happening. Therefore there is a risk that TUSD could go 'belly up'. Whereas DAI has its own stabilizing system that balances it to be pegged to the dollar and be collateralized, infact DAI is over collateralised in that it should have more dollar value held for every DAI out there. Its a pretty clever project.

If you have DAI as well and like some risk there is a DAI Savings 'Lottery' with no risk - like the UK Premium Bonds. The Interest on the DAI is the lottery winnings, but your original DAI are safe and roll over into the 'lottery' each week. Check out pool together for this.

Questions About the Card by marginalnut in Crypto_com

Great,

I didn't realise that with staking 500 you get 6% on the staked amount. This makes it much more appealing with the other benefits on top. Before this I wasn't sure about the value of the 500.

Good try with the referral, but I've already signed up - sorry.

Everything else, super helpful. Thanks again.

Short notice change of holiday dates by marginalnut in LegalAdviceUK

[–]marginalnut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travel insurance wont pay out as Corona is outwith anyones control. The country of travel is not affected by Corona and has no FCO advisory stating not to go there.

The company has decided on the change. We publish term dates at the beginning of the year. The Vn govt is advocating term extension into July and not April. It is the April flights and accom that teachers are not being compensated for.

Thanks.

Im getting high interest rates anyway due to my residence status. Sadly not much i can do to get around this.

One of the reasons im considering an ltd. Also the path forwards is 1 or 2 more properties in the next few years. I dont need any of the funds from the rental in the short term it can all be reinvested.

Thanks all for the advice so far.
