Facebook launches its own Cryptocurrency

Here it is: https://libra.org/en-US/ Anyway, if by now you still think crypto is a ponzi / scam, there's really nothing more that I can say. If you also think that somehow FaceBucks competes with Bitcoin or Ethereum, then clearly you don't understand much about the latter. Happily stacking my "real" crypto and earning low-risk 7%+ returns on my crypto-USD that is living in the crypto world. You know, I honestly still think that it's early for crypto. And as everybody knows, the first rule of FOMO is that if you want to FOMO, you should always FOMO early. PSA: Crypto is dangerous af. If you don't understand what you're doing, I would suggest that you stick to the ZuckerBucks.

Crypto DCA Portfolio

Hey guys, With Binance SG finally live to purchase BTC, ETH and BNB with SGD, I thought that it's a good time for me to make a small portfolio to show you "normies" that this is all you need to capture most of the value in the crypto space. I'll be doing a DCA with a 40 / 40 / 20 split into the above coins through Binance SG. So yeah, I'll come back and talk about this from time to time. Few things to note: - need an Xfers account - fee is 0.8% - min purchase is $20 That means, with a 40/40/20 split you can theoretically do $100 a month since you can meet the minimum requirement of $20 per trade for the BNB trade. If you're aggressive of course you can scale up the amount more, or do the DCA more frequently. (I am NOT asking you to do any of that, nor copy me). Only problem about this portfolio of mine is that I already used my account to buy BTC to test out the platform earlier this month, and I'm already up +40% on that purchase lol. I'll probably ju...

Don't you just love Negative Rates?

Yield curves all around the globe are inverted right now. pic.twitter.com/enhlzLQzG6 — Michael A. Gayed, CFA (@leadlagreport) May 25, 2019 What is an Inverted Yield Curve? " Historically, inversions of the yield curve have preceded many of the U.S. recessions. Due to this historical correlation, the yield curve is often seen as an accurate forecast of the turning points of the business cycle. " When you lend money to the government for 30 years, you get back negative returns. Just let that sink into your brain for a bit. But don't mind me, I'm just a cuckoo crypto person.

Crypto HIGH YIELD USD Savings Accounts?

I'll be quick, so less story and talk cock from me. In crypto, there are things called "Stablecoins". They are called stablecoins because, obviously, they are SUPPOSED to be stable to that thing that they are tracking. Why they exist. How they exist. Out of today's scope, please do own reading. Stablecoins exist in a lot of forms, but most commonly in USD. For USD, there are quite a few stablecoins. To name the top few: USDT TUSD USDC PAX SDUSD USDS DAI sUSD NUSD etc, etc. Now, with these stablecoins, you can earn anywhere between 6-15% APR on them. With no lock up. Interests are usually calculated daily. Why they can pay interest. How they can pay interest. Out of today's scope, please do own reading. But yes, the rate, is, ridiculous. I know, that's why I'm sharing it. Nexo does 6.5% APR for most stablecoins. Celsius does 7.1% non-compounded for a handful as well. Dapps like Nuo, dydx and Compound have floating rates between 6-15% APR. Okay, what's t...

Crypto: Educated Criticism or Professional Larper?

" If you don’t understand how fiat money works, you’re not qualified to judge whether cryptocurrency will be successful or not, period. " And that's the gist of this article , which I fully agree. People that I've talked to that has pushed back hard against crypto will usually give the same arguments that people were already talking about in 2012. "Something so volatile cannot be money." "People will not use it." "Governments will not allow it." Tell this to anyone who is deeply involved in crypto right now, they'd probably snort. Most people cannot understand the concept of money, and worse, confuse and think that FIAT money is the definition of money. The reason why most people are not convinced by cryptocurrency is simply because they are either accidentally or willfully ignorant about fiat money. You're telling me that they are actually people that exist who understand fractional reserve banking, debt, what is fiat money and ...
