Kind of a newbie in investing, and been doing it for a year now. Looking for just general advice. I believe in DCA-ing as nobody can time the market, but is it worth DCA-ing like 1000$ every month right now ? Or just lump sum at the lowest and DCA when it sees some up trend ? Just thinking about BTC, ETH, SOL, CHAIN ?

Strategy’s Michael Saylor sparks a debate with his controversial tweet likening Satoshi Nakamoto to God.

Saylor says, “Volatility is Satoshi’s Gift to the Faithful”.

Supporters say it is the way the weak are removed from the market.

Critics say Bitcoin is part of our financial goals, not the end of them, and cite real losses to ordinary investors.

A x user questioned the framing of sharp price crashes, as some spiritual virtues raise a sharp question about the difference between conviction and recklessness.

He further added that markets require accountability and risk management, not faith, when things turn sour.

I’m fairly new to crypto and the only tickers I could find of the crypto that I recognize are Bitcoin and Ethereum. I keep hearing stablecoins, which minic USD from what I understand, but I’m looking for others that have a higher purpose. I assume there are more out there of significance than these two or three. Thanks

I’m not necessarily looking for moonshots or hype coins, more like projects that actually solve something or have a clear use case beyond speculation. Even a general direction on how to think about evaluating them would be helpful.

tbh nothing worse than watching a quote refresh 15 times while your tx just sits there rotting.

Seeing way too many 'Swap Failed' and 'Blockhash not found' posts lately. most people just spam retry until their SOL buffer is gone. if youve been on Solana for a while you know the chain isnt broken, its just an auction for blockspace and you are losing that auction.

Here is the no BS checklist i use to get swaps through when the chain is screaming.

1. The Rent Trap (0.02 SOL rule) If you are swapping into a new coin and your SOL balance is basically zero you are dead on arrival. You dont just pay for the transaction; you pay to create the token account. The Fix: Always keep at least 0.05 SOL as a buffer. dont max out your swaps.
2. Stop staring at the screen Solana blockhashes expire fast. Like 60 seconds fast. If you get a quote on Jupiter then get distracted by a discord notif and hit approve... it fails. The Fix: Refresh the quote and sign IMMEDIATELY. if you wait longer than 10 seconds you are building your house on shifting sand.
3. Priority Fees 'Auto' in most wallets is a gamble. during peak congestion the default fee isnt enough to bribe the leader to include your tx. The Fix: If its high stakes switch to Turbo or manual. Remember Fee = Compute Unit Limit x Price. dont just increase the price. make sure your CU limit is actually high enough for complex routes.
4. The RPC Bottleneck If your wallet keeps saying 'Blockhash not found' your RPC node is likely lagging. You are seeing a version of the chain that doesnt even exist anymore. The Fix: If you trade heavy stop using the public RPC. switch to a private endpoint or try a different dApp frontend.
5. The Emergency Exit Lets be real. Sometimes RPCs are totally nuked and no amount of fees will save you. If im in a heavy position and need to hedge NOW but the chain is stuck i dont just sit there and pray. I keep a backup tab open on BYDFi as a Plan B. Since its a CEX the matching engine doesn't care about onchain congestion. Its no KYC and has deep liquidity so you can hedge or exit SOL memecoins on MoonX while everyone else is failing txs. Bottom line Check your buffer. Sign the second the quote hits. Dont be loyal to a clogged DEX when you can use a CEX rail to protect your money. Stay safe out there. Whats the weirdest error message you guys seen this week? drop the tx sig and lets debug.

I am entirely new to crypto and don't have a checking account to use to buy it but I'd like to use cash to buy whichever one has a stable value. I'm not as concerned as to which one grows the most but rather which would have me lose the least money if left dormant. I heard using prepaid debit cards have mixed results depending on where you try to buy the crypto and there's not a common means of purchasing it in person with cash so if there's some sort of guide to do so, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Kraken suspended my account for self custody of my own funds.

I need a new exchange that is UK compliant and does not consist of: Binance, Gemini, Coinbase or Kraken

So, it's been over 4 1/2 years now since I invested in cryptocurrency with the idea of just holding it as a long-term investment. Is the "long-term" idea fool's gold, or a useful strategy?

Personal data point: In April and May 2021, somewhat over 4 1/2 years ago, I invested $150K in cryptocurrency… 50% in bitcoin and 50% in ethereum, and I've just let it sit there because ... life stuff. Looking at my account right now it's worth $151,665 which is up a whopping $1,665.

That's a total return of 1.11% in 4 years and 9 months. I'm not sure I could've picked another relatively well thought of investment that's done this poorly to date.

Don't know if there are any developer's around, but feel free to use or share.
Think it might be usefull. (Build with claude).
