[SERIOUS] Does anybody have insights into the delisting procedure of privacycoins like Monero on Binance in January?

It seems following the Binance/CZ deal with US regulators https://www.wired.com/story/binance-settlement-transaction-histories/ and the introduction of a compliance offensive at Binance they now seek to influence privacycoin development: * https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/important-potential-binance-delisting/45954/103 /> * https://forum.firo.org/t/firo-private-transactions-balancing-with-mica-regulations/3010 /> As the Monero community will not comply with neither governments nor Binance the logical consequence will be a delisting of Monero in January. Who here has more insight into the procedure? submitted by /u/gr8ful4 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0gbhd

Bulk Purchase

Hello, I have looked through the sidebar and the 'how to buy' link. I have looked through coinbase advanced, gemini, etc. But they don't really make what all the fees are very clear. I bought my first BTC living in asia on localbitcoins in 2015. Later just walked into an exchange with a bag of fiat. Now I live somewhere that type of transaction is not possible. Now in North America Looking to buy multiple BTC. Coming up with coinbase advanced being the cheapest. I tried using the search but couldn't find what I was looking for. OTC options I have seen have a higher spread than I want. submitted by /u/iknowifuckedupok [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0bQNQ

All crypto lost during wallet transfer

I started purchasing crypto in May 2021. I stuck to ETH and BTC almost exclusively and started out on Binance. After a short time I decided to move to BlockFi and transferred my assets there. I held and purchased more over time in BlockFi. Of course after FTX BlockFi went bankrupt. After a year or so BlockFi let me withdraw from my Wallet into another Wallet. So I created a transfer in Binance on 11/21/23 - one for ETH and one for BTC. I performed the transfers and got co formation from the BlockFi end. But the coins never showed up in Binance. So I now have nothing in either my BlockFi nor my Binance wallet. Basically I lost 3.8 ETH and 0.5 BTC, after BlockFi took the transfer fee, but nothing ever showed up. I know this is lost now. But what the hell happened? Does anyone have any insight? And do I have any recourse (I assume not)? This is so incredibly frustrating. It’s no wonder crypto is in a limbo and I see why some think it never will pick up. While this may by my own f...

Profit taking strategies?

Been in crypto since 2018…lost my ass during 1st bull run, doubled down and averaged down, then 2nd bull run I made great gains but didn’t take any profit. What’s your strategy for profit taking???? Have a lot of anxiety (good anxiety lol) about next bull run, and I want to take profit but really not sure what is the best strategy??? Right now I have a spread sheet, 10 profit taking trades on each coin I hold. My logic is, for every 10% gain past all time highs, I pull 5% off the table. Does this make sense or am I shooting dice?! submitted by /u/SirDrLeto [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0X6zM

Bitcoin / crypto future and thought

Hello reddit, I have some thoughts/arguments that I would like to hear your respons on. Thanks for reading / Coursell Cryptocurrencies intrinsic value: Crypto currencies does not have an intrinsic value. Meaning, You cannot use a bitcoin for anything except exchanging it with another person. It is the same as a useless piece of plastic that has an amount limit and you can throw it instantly to everyone around the world. Does it make you want the plastic piece? Well not me. This is why Crypto can't be compared to gold since gold have a intrinsic value. you can make jewelry and electronics with gold that people are ready to pay for. Other cryptos vs Bitcoin Well, is there is a plastic piece that you can throw to other people easier then at least you would prefer using that piece of plastic instead of the old clumpy plastic piece you used before right? That's old Cryptos(Bitcoin, ether, etc) vs new ones (maybe Solana, bitcoin SV, ripple etc). With this theory an crypto...

Blockchain Applications for Federal Government.

Blockchain is an emerging technology with a growing number of applications across many industries. Understanding how blockchain technology can be implemented and utilized successfully requires understanding the fundamentals of the technology, its applications, its limitations, and what research and investment are still required to take it to its full potential. Some government organizations have already begun investing in this technology. Improvements to blockchain research and development, the datafication of available information, and the utilization of versatile and customizable solutions will help expand the technology’s applications for more organizations and agencies. submitted by /u/Perfect_Ability_1190 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0X6g5

Outside of LocalMonero, what exchanges exist to trade XMR?

Hey all, after some recommendations on which exchange and wallets are best when it comes to trading Monero. Currently whenever I’m needing to send XMR it consists of purchasing a supported coin such as USDT on Binance, followed by purchasing the amount of XMR needed on LM. Seems like an unnecessary second step so wondering if anyone’s found an exchange the like with support for XMR. Located in Australia (unsure if Binances drop for support for spot trading XMR is exclusive to aus or worldwide) Cheers submitted by /u/sardoa11 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0X6V9

Coldcard vs Blockstream Jade Wallet?

Hello. Been looking into hardware wallets lately. I’ve been hearing lots of negatives from the top dogs in the game aka Ledger and Trezor so I’ve been wanting to steer clear of those. I don’t think they’re headed in the right direction. Anyways, I’ve been looking at air gapped wallets and have settled with Coldcard or Jade? I looked into Ellipal but I’ve heard they’ve had seeds successfully hacked from the device. Although I’m sure it’s been patched, it’s worrisome. What are your thoughts on Coldcard and or Jade? My only worry so far with Jade is Bluetooth. Not sure if that’s a weak link. Any help? submitted by /u/PeroniBites [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T0Wt24
