How to handle my crypto while moving to Germany

Hi there! So I’ll be moving from a country where crypto is not taxed to Germany soon and am completely lost on what is the best way to handle my crypto. I currently have a majority of my holdings on Binance and the rest on (Yoroi, metamask, kucoin). Can I just leave my crypto on these exchanges and wallets and then withdraw them later down the line in Germany? Should I cash out now and then reenter in Germany? Should I move everything off of exchanges to offline? I’m not looking to cash out right now and would like to hodl my crypto for foreseeable bullrun. Any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Micropipi [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T1tcYL

Need a new debit card option after Binance Visa stopped in Europe. Suggestions?

Hey everyone, I live in Poland and I've been using Binance Visa Debit Card and it was great until they stopped their card services in Europe after December 20. Now I need to find a good alternative. What debit cards are you guys in Europe using now, especially since Binance stopped? I'm looking for something with good benefits, maybe some unique features. Came across the hi Debit Card recently. It has cash-back and even lets you put your own NFT art on it, which sounds pretty cool. Also heard crypto.com card is also decent.

Need help identifying bogus NFT's [Ledger]

Good evening, I'm here calling for help to identify some NFT's I received on my Ledger. I assume most, if not all, are fake and attempts to steal my coins if I meddle with them so I'm not touching them with a ten-foot pole. Still, I must admit that I am curious. Could anyone take a look and inform me if I'm right to leave them alone. I've added screenshots below: first of the overview, then the detail screens. If more info is needed let me know.

My experience after running Binance’s own bot for 3 days

I have invested $ 200 in this just for testing. I’ve have set the Binance bot to operate in a technical analysis at BNB, resistance an support for the last 7 days. The bot was supposed to buy at a 0,23% move down and sell at a 0,28% up. During 3 days it made 22 operations. The final result: two cents profit. Result if I just have bought and forgot BNB for two days: a loss of 2 dollars. This could be considered a good result but it’s peanuts. Because the bot would need maintenance and if the market moves fast it will be out of its range. In a real bull run or a crash the price would move so fast that will be out of the parameters. The real winner was Binance: 22 transactions fees. Any results to share? submitted by /u/Horror-Badger9314 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/T1k4wr
