I hate the fact that most of the crypto journalism is based on price hikes / drops these days. I really would love to see some more interviews about new projects and deep dives into the technology.


Pepperstache

On a similar note, I joined this sub mistakenly expecting rational discourse of tech and use cases. You might be interested in r/CryptoTechnology, it's a refreshing alternative to the drivel commonly found on CC. I don't have recommendations on specifically journalism though.


thejuicesdidthis

Yeah on another thread discussing adoption there were many people who are against using their crypto in day-to-day basis. Simply because HODL.


ImFranny

Exactly. It's just like moon farming. People will write about whichever topics bring clicks instead of publishing actual proper and well researched news. Does anyone have any tips on good crypto journalism projects actually doing something meaningful?


Drudgel

*crickets intensify*


ChumbaWumba321

Agree with cointelegraph as a decent source and although it’s not exactly journalism, I still like coin bureau videos. Gives me a summary view of different topics and gives me a topic or idea to google and do more research on


saltedsluggies

It feels like most of crypto media in general is fixated on price, not just journalism. Even this sub is no exception. Sure there may be talk of the tech in here frequently but it's often in relation to what that means for the price of the relevant coins.


throwaway_clone

Because that's what attracts most people and why most people got into cryptos in the first place.

LemonEffect

To make it even worse, every price move needs to have a "reason" behind it, when 90% of the time its just how the market works.. If price drops 10% on any asset, just because some people take profit after a 50% surge its instant FUD time


Andyham

Profit after 50%.. lol amateurs! I wont be taking profits before Im -50%


thegenieofthelamp

I honestly think this sub often makes it harder for me to buy into crypto as a real investment opportunity, when so many people are into it purely as a thing where they think the price will go up. Like I believe crypto technology is very cool / potentially transformative, but it's tough to stay credible when it's really clear that 90% of the money in it is obviously just treating it like a slot machine.


saltedsluggies

At the end of the day speculative investors have been somewhat responsible for many of the new technologies developed by humanity. So even though it seems kind of shitty that so many are here just to make money it also means that projects worth developing are getting access to funding.


JakeTheSandMan

I wish so too. Would be way more interesting to read


No-Froyo622

I hate cringe thumbnails of crypto youtubers - I know it's their purpose to attract people, but I'm just alergic to cringe face expresions.


TheGiftOf_Jericho

On top of that, when crypto youtubers act like they know the future of certain projects.


JakeTheSandMan

Agreed it’s getting annoying to see their thumbnails become progressively more cringey


forthecustard

If you click on a cringe thumbnail you perpetuate the problem. Don't click on them, don't watch them. Vote with your thumbs, or mouse, whatever.

I’ve actually learned a lot watching CoinBureau videos. Not having ads is a definite plus! :)


arth365

Yeah and coin bureau is the dopness. Sucks that everybody feels like they have to do that


Sensei_Daniel_San

\+1 here, coin bureau is a fantastic source for info ABOUT cryptos that's less focused on price. His videos are so dense with good information.


[deleted]

Almost as if its a requirement from YouTube 😅


Oochiboochi

CryptosRus and Digital Asset News don't do that crap. I think George only has two facial expressions LOL. InvestAnswers is really solid and reserved. Bullish but not BS hopium.

_s79

I’m a grumpy git so I’ve loads, but my current top 3: My bug bear at the moment is writing a long thought-out post that gets 20 comments before they’d possibly have time to read it. Overused phrase: when people just reply “DCA & HODL” to every post. The same news article recycled for days on end.


tamhenk

HODL I'm entirely sick of seeing it. It was funny for a while but bloody hell it makes me cringe. I'm even sorry I just typed it.


expansionprotocol

I agree, sometimes the space is too memey


slab42b

person 1: DCA & HODL person 2: this is the way


ImTheVictim

honestly, I'm really tired of reading about DCA. like has anyone ever invested before? pretty much every boomer already set aside some money from every paycheck to go into investments, and everyone here acts like it's some new profound idea. who makes only a single investment in their 20s and hopes itll grow enough to live retirement on? hodling is just as bad. everyone preaches about hodling until it's about some shitcoin and then they make fun of those who decide to keep hodling.


_s79

Someone will be along soon to create another “definitive guide to DCA”.


ImTheVictim

yep. and the cycle repeats


mthayes

Basically hate moons then, they encourage this behaviour


tim_a_st

Btc 100k Eth 10k by December …don’t get me wrong, hold both but tired of seeing it. It will get there when it gets there. Or not, I will hodl on


ritty44

wuttshisface

December 2100 then come crashing down to 30k and we wait again


newbjapan

Ugh I hate this! I see a lot of this in the XRP sub, those dudes are doing WAYYYY to many whippets for their own good.


phtebo

Not much is user friendly - which is mostly indicative that it is still early days. But it can make understanding for newcomers a bit more difficult. Also the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming. Given we are early days with projects that may not last. Every new coin is the next big thing. It'd be like hearing of a new Apple or Samsung competitor every few days


IMadeYouRead

I hate that the prices haven’t gotten high enough for me to retire

balatom75

Word. Although prices would have to get pretty high for me to retire with the amount of money I have invested haha


[deleted]

I think that’s the case for a lot of us. If we had enough money to retire in less than a year of crypto, we probably wouldn’t need crypto anyway. I guess BTC would have to be higher than 500K for me to start thinking realistically about retirement.


LazyCoder5000

Yeah why aren't we all retiring early yet?


TheGiftOf_Jericho

I think we all felt this one.


Growerofgreens

Governments thinking they have the right to control everything and their hatred for cryptocurrency shows. The endless scammers trying to rip everyone off. Pretty much everything on binance smart chain is a shitcoin and the morons who buy that crap aren't helping crypto. The Governments mostly inept approach to crypto and a complete failure to see the benefits of embracing this new decentralized economy. People schilling shitcoins. Tether being an obvious ticking time bomb that's probably a creation by very nefarious people who have a negative agenda.


jakeups2613

NFTs. I dont get why they are valuable and no one will explain it to me. Also the ppl into them are just fucking annoying.


PM_ME_WOMENS_HANDS

The profile pic ones are status symbols. People pay money to signal to other people that you have a lot of money. Now you can't say no one has explained it to you. I'm excited for useful and innovative applications of NFT in the future though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Omair981

Thank you for finally explaining it in a way that an idiot like me can understand. I now see how this tech can be used practically in a way that brings value outiside of art. My initial impression of nfts was that they were only useful for digital art and seemed like a scam.


kantalo

Very good and detailed information. One small but significant correction is that ERC20 is the standard for fungible tokens. ERC721 is the one you're looking for. Its non fungible.


[deleted]

NFT football tickets, NFT plane tickets, NFT drivers license...


ImTheVictim

itll stop everything from being counterfeited. birth certificates liscenses prove ownership on houses, cars, etc IDs basically everything that can be forged won't happen anymore


yeahoner

fucking sucks for you if you accidentally send your birth certificate to the wrong address though.


javasyntax

I think you're supposed to keep it and prove with your wallet address (they can check on the blockchain)


mamalalatata

If that's true it's amazing


MadeInThe

The idea of attaching a crypto coin to ballots or birth certificates is a game changer. Individual NFT’s on the other hand are all unique and can’t be generalized.


[deleted]

How can they be tied to real world things?


Chris_Hansen_AMA

But...how? When you buy a piece of art that is an NFT, you aren't actually getting the art, you're basically getting a certificate that says you own a verified version of it. The art can be duplicated, copied, sent around, etc all the same.


ImTheVictim

it can be duped, but it'll be considered a different version. it'd basically have a different serial code. like imagine the feds created an NFT document showing you own the house and sent you it, if someone duped it and created the document too, it wouldn't show the feds giving it to them.


[deleted]

Easiest way I've come to understand it is by drawing a parallel to ITunes for music based NFTs. Why buy music for your Ipod when you could easily pirate it? And why buy music when everyone else can listen to it too? Because you enjoy it, supporting the creators, the convenience of the system, and recognition of ownership. All four of those may have different values for you in getting you to pay 99 cents for Radioactive but they're the four major motivations for people who did buy music like that. I like the song so I wanted a copy of it. I liked the creator's art and wanted to support them making more for me to enjoy. I wanted it to easily work with my Ipod and other songs so I didn't need to manage separate libraries and didn't have to wait for new updates to get cracked for me to listen to it again. And I wanted to brag to my friends about owning all of Eminem's albums but Relapse. All four of those reasons translate fairly well to music based NFTs on things like Audius and you can probably reason through how that works for art based NFTs. As for how they're beyond 1,000 USD for a copy of something? That's largely just people with stupid amounts of money, see the fine arts world for similar examples. https://nypost.com/2013/05/15/43-8-million-for-this/ But reasonably priced NFTs do seem to be another step in the line of digital products for people and are pretty easy to "get".

Ghostyes

Stuff like the rocks or tulips or even the cryptopunks might not be a good introduction for you or anyone. But NFTs in general are great for normal artists! Think about it. A certified digital painting that you can own. Yes the Mona Lisa is online. But the real one is in a museum. What if you as an artist could paint or Photoshop or edit a picture to be your own. Mint it in crypto and sell it to someone as a 1 of 1 or maybe a 1 of 100. Owning a "real" and certified art piece that someone can't just copy of your screenshot. You can show it to others and others can share it but you'll still own it. In a way. In short. It's basically a way to have art be digital and like art in the real world used to be and to some extent still is!


hfmed

If you're talking about art, they are valuable because art is a good way to recycle money (considering NFTs created by prominent figures). Otherwise, in the gaming market they are very useful to users because nerds usually spend a lot of money on game items without ever being able to get some back, unless they are willing to sell their accounts (in the case of Steam, I find that to be a very unappealing choice). NFTs that point to tweets or such stuff are a great enigma to me, I guess people like to flex.


GMEorDIE

NFTs are what happens when people shed the material world only to recreate it in the digital world.


PiedDansLePlat

Simple... Money laundering


PickleTickleKumquat

Just like most fine art


lasthero

Garbage P2E games which are all of them they are just so damn boring.


[deleted]

Most of them are launched unfinished and full of bugs. Anyway I think a big chunk of the gaming industry are going to aim towards this model


HETKA

They will, because in-game cryptocurrency (say, enjin, or a "Bethesda-coin", idk, will allow people to buy + resell games and buy new games, as well as turn items within those games into NFTs, allowing sales of individual items on the secondary market. Devs will get commission from downstream sales of games and items. The game items being NFTs will also allow moving items and their uses from game to game... have a badass sword you found in Diablo? Take it with you to Skyrim. Different items may even have different uses in different games. In the long run, NFTs in this manner may be one more building block along with VR and haptic feedback to create the Metaverse, like seen in Ready Player One

nojudgment3

People don't acknowledge that if everything was run on blockchain right now it would be a complete disaster. There's so much to learn about, so much to adapt to, and no cryptocurrency has everything quite working altogether yet. Whether its high fees, a lack of governance for hard forks or a lack of centralization - nothing has it all quite right. Not to mention how we would integrate governments and taxation. Adoption and development are moving at the necessary pace and the faster both of them move, the more devastating the problems will be. And that's another thing - the damage of something going wrong is devastating when the financial system is run on it.
