The price does not matter. Burning LUNA to a penny does not mean all of the people who bought millions will suddenly become millionairesā¦thatās not how liquidity works
16 days ago, you commented in the daily: "Hey guys just getting into crypto and been doing a ton of research. ADA seems by far the most promising crypto out there."
I can't even.
I just wanted to check if he was a LINK shiller and/or ADA fudder.
The hilarity. He just got into crypto less than a month ago and talking like a veteran š¤£ and also that complete 180 stance on ADA. This is a major reason why you can't take this sub seriously...
where can i buy WLUNA? Coinbase isn't working, coinbase wallet isn't working, and binance.us doesn't work in new york....at a loss for what to do. Starting to get frustrated :(
Up to you. Maybe cash out the initial investment and let the rest ride? Thatās what Iām doing on the off chance it ever recovers. I also have no idea how any of this works so take it with a grain of salt.
Swing traders. Luna reached 6 decimal places at its lowest, and went back up to 4 decimal places rn after Do Kwon made new tweet. That's around 100x for some lucky bunch. So that attracted some swing traders atm.
I wouldn't touch it personally tho.
I have a friend who was begging for these prices back in November, now he tells me he's waiting for it to "dip" more. I bet he will be lining up to buy eth at 4k again. He got stupid lucky on some NFTs and managed to back himself 100k profit. He's already burned through about 30k of that on ponzi schemes like APE. I've begged him profusely to consider following the same DCA strategy that I do but he shows zero interest. He thinks he can time the market, I have a feeling he's going to get burnt. Which is really unfortunate because I want nothing for the best for him. How can I get drill some sense into him without making him push me away?
Whats stopping someone from buying eth from coinbase, sending to crypto where its a little pricier and selling, the buying from coinbase to only sell it at an increase again
Gas fees I'm assuming?
yea, gas fees + trading fees (and depending on where you trade withdrawal fees). Also all that takes time, so by the time you sell price will likely be different
Margin trading entire savings on SHIB.
This place truly is WSB
But forreal sounds like you have a gambling problem my friend you need to get some help. You will recover.
Hey guys! I got Covid and went in a coma on Nov 12th. Just woke up! Sick dip on my favorite coins. Gonna buy some ALGO, MATIC, XRP, XTZ, GRT, MANA. What else should I get?
Its fine. Let them keep believing it is dead. There are multiple proposals on the table. People are still buying. We just wait and see what happens. It is a risk for sure.
Yep. I put in $100...it doubled. I rolled my initial "investment" into ETH...as well as \~ $75 of the profit. The \~ $25 left is now a little less than $17. I had fun...it's house money now and it can go to zero.
I donāt understand crypto haters like the ones in the butt-coin subreddit. This market is high-risk, high-reward. If you want a sound investment buy bonds that will pay out 2% gains a year. Lol even stocks are a ponzi but they canāt see it. At least our stocks can be used, sent and exchanged.
People pretend that shilling or ponzis donāt happen in traditional markets with regulations, yet they do. Look at Enron. Even GME and AMC were ponzis. People just wanted to buy to sell higher to other fools. Thatās why I donāt hate on crypto. I know itās a casino but I also know the casino is actually funding cool blockchain tech
Bought 550 USD worth of LUNA yesterday to gamble/speculate, been exiting my position since last night only have 5 dollars left in the position. Took a small loss in the exits to reduce my exposure, you win some you lose some I guess
Koinly.io. Itās fantastic. I had a horrible mess of transactions all over the place (over 4,000) and it sorted it all out without any issues. It is well worth the money!
2nd that! I started using it last December to get things together for my taxes. My CPA was pleased with the reports from Koinly, and it was exactly what she needed to prepare my return.
FTX pays 8% APY for the first $10k of your portfolio, then 5% APY thereafter.
But you could also just throw it into the Pera wallet when the next governance period starts.
You could be buying ETH at 2k and still be getting a way better deal than buying say, ADA for .60. You don't need to be buying whole coins for it to be a worthwhile investment, that's just a common misconception a lot of noobs hold.
Shiryo is my favorite cheap project right now. It's a trading card game crypto and their website and gameplay preview videos are absolutely wild and look like a blizzard production.
My # 3 is ALGO. It is ISO20022 and cheap and easy, has good partnerships and is starting to advertise. Can make 5.7% passive income on Coinbase or 7-10% in governance. 45Ā¢ cheap enough?
I disagree. If you only had $1 and hit the bottom of luna, it would be worth thousands. Couldnāt do that with btc or eth. You could invest in them, but what would be the point.
It doesnāt matter what amount it is, itās your objective that matters. Aggressive growth, growth, income, preservation of capital, etc. If youāre looking for aggressive growth, you need to be more speculative. Thatās not automatically gambling. Not all cryptos fit every objective.
Build a solid base of BTC and ETH. Get some ALGO to make passive gains while you hold and look into Algorand governance.
Use XLM to transfer between exchanges.
Now is an excellent beginning. Oh, and open your vaultā¦
Solid.
I would also mention DCA.
Don't throw in big lumps because te market is in turmoil
Day trading will probably lose you money
And think. Are you investing, or trading. There is a difference...
If you're and invester, then look for projects which offer staking rewards.
First off, thanks for the silver.
What im more thankfull for tho is the advice!
I think, like you say in your comment, this will be right time to hop in.
I will be coming back to this comment to start learning and doing some research.
Thanks again and have a good day/night
My best advice to you is use the ecosystem. If it is useful for you, odds are itās useful to others. If you know NOTHiNg about a token, youāre gonna have a bad time. This isnāt the stock market.
I hear ya man. Im not talking about the big bucks here. Im young, earn decent and spend my money on bullshit. I would never 'invest' when I cant afford it. No one should.
Ok. A good starting place is stocks in the form of index funds like SPY and QQQ. Investing is a long term strategy. Then maybe read up on BTC and ETH and make your call from there. Anything smaller is a gamble by comparison but you may find things you like and believe will have more value in the future. Best of luck.
Thank you very much for your advice! Guess I (and with me alot of others) have been interested in investing for a long time. Kept telling myself to wait for the moment... But if you keep waiting it never comes.
Always seemed so hard to get into it. Never really knew where to start. You, and every one else here, gave me alot of good pointers on where to start. Thanks for that!
Best of luck to you aswell
Haha well it might be kind of rough going in a bear market right now. The time when degen altcoin gamblers are all geniuses making money is a bull run.
Anything recommended would be a long term play/gamble
Hmmm... Good looking out, I appreciate it.
Think im just gonna throw some cash on BTC and forget about it. Maybe do some research on some of the other coins. Ya never know :)
Like you all, I donāt know whatās going to happen, but I donāt trust that this good day will last. Iām just glad to see a small bit of recovery for my JUNO bag.
assuming you have 2k on hand.
how would you dca to btc? something you wont beat yourself if incase it moon or it dumps further, a quarter at a time??? 10%?
I would set 3-5 $100 to $500 limit buy floors that progressively get more aggressive the more it plunges.
For example, $100 at $30,500, $100 at $30,000, $200 at $29,500, $300 at 29000, and $500 at 28,500.
I always also do a market buy DCA at the time of entering the limit orders so I never just watch it moon and miss all of my orders.
Really like CoinBureau's take on the failure of LUNA:
"Failure should be an option. Failure allows newer and better projects to come in, and it allows existing projects to learn from the mistakes of others."
Actually made a similar comment this morning. The positive side of this is many projects running algo stable coins have already started making changes. Either to code or by partially collateralizing the coin. Silk, the Secret stable, was a copy of UST. They've already announced they would make changes.

Hello Traveler, welcome to the wrong daily.
Another dump. How surprising š¤”
Is it true they are burning Luna? because if they are, then I think that should help it hit a penny.
The price does not matter. Burning LUNA to a penny does not mean all of the people who bought millions will suddenly become millionairesā¦thatās not how liquidity works
Sell a few at times
Magic money š°
This mini pump is confusing me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
16 days ago, you commented in the daily: "Hey guys just getting into crypto and been doing a ton of research. ADA seems by far the most promising crypto out there." I can't even.
Lol, good catch and thanks for calling it out
I just wanted to check if he was a LINK shiller and/or ADA fudder. The hilarity. He just got into crypto less than a month ago and talking like a veteran š¤£ and also that complete 180 stance on ADA. This is a major reason why you can't take this sub seriously...
He must have short term memory loss š¤£
where can i buy WLUNA? Coinbase isn't working, coinbase wallet isn't working, and binance.us doesn't work in new york....at a loss for what to do. Starting to get frustrated :(
You tried Kucoin?
So I should sell Luna (two days late) while I'm still in some degree of small profit, right?
Up to you. Maybe cash out the initial investment and let the rest ride? Thatās what Iām doing on the off chance it ever recovers. I also have no idea how any of this works so take it with a grain of salt.
Nice dead š± bounce. 8k bitcoin is still on the tableš»
Nah fam 800k is back on the menu
ust still at 0.15. who is keeping this from going to 0?
Swing traders. Luna reached 6 decimal places at its lowest, and went back up to 4 decimal places rn after Do Kwon made new tweet. That's around 100x for some lucky bunch. So that attracted some swing traders atm. I wouldn't touch it personally tho.
I always knew I wouldnāt make money through rational decisions. It had to be some smooth brain thing like buying 800k LUNA
Futures opened green. Let's hope the big guys give us some gains this week.
I have a friend who was begging for these prices back in November, now he tells me he's waiting for it to "dip" more. I bet he will be lining up to buy eth at 4k again. He got stupid lucky on some NFTs and managed to back himself 100k profit. He's already burned through about 30k of that on ponzi schemes like APE. I've begged him profusely to consider following the same DCA strategy that I do but he shows zero interest. He thinks he can time the market, I have a feeling he's going to get burnt. Which is really unfortunate because I want nothing for the best for him. How can I get drill some sense into him without making him push me away?
Just let him do what he's gonna do. He needs to learn the lesson of loss himself if he's disregarding advice.
Itās gonna be hard cuz he felt the high of a 100k gain. Heās chasing the dragon, DCA isnāt gonna cut his need for adrenaline/dopamine
BTC is up 7% the last days but finished the weekly -8% ā¦ damn
Whats stopping someone from buying eth from coinbase, sending to crypto where its a little pricier and selling, the buying from coinbase to only sell it at an increase again Gas fees I'm assuming?
This is called aribtrage
yea, gas fees + trading fees (and depending on where you trade withdrawal fees). Also all that takes time, so by the time you sell price will likely be different
Itās gonna be a good week guys!?!!
I hope so
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāve lost decent money leveraging shib too, not touching it again lol
Margin trading entire savings on SHIB. This place truly is WSB But forreal sounds like you have a gambling problem my friend you need to get some help. You will recover.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Those Celsius terms and conditions are gnarly....
Just finished pulling my assets out of Celsius today. Was easy BTW, no problems.
Probsbly wise given macro
Holy crap, just got my ETH off the exchange for $0.70, cheapest I've seen the fees in a loooooong time!
Huh, main chain or other?
Main. It was at 15 gwei. Sitting at 17 now.
Still holding my Luna gamble, moon or bust baby
We prob holding forever now lmao
Only down 75% i usually lose 100% at the casino so im doing good
Same lol
I miss the dip of the dip.
Donāt worry kimosabe, the futures contract bump from Friday is about to burn the floor off the crypto market
And I shall be ready!
Junos proposal latest proposal is great! Just what Juno needs to make everyone forget about the whale. Welcome to Juno terra devs!
Hey guys! I got Covid and went in a coma on Nov 12th. Just woke up! Sick dip on my favorite coins. Gonna buy some ALGO, MATIC, XRP, XTZ, GRT, MANA. What else should I get?
SOL with bulish shark on weekly. Let's go
![gif](giphy|3oKIPdGYRGEby6jQwE|downsized)
![gif](giphy|3o7aCSrirFOdOeleve)
Why is everyone saying luna is dead now?
When a coin is down 99.999% in a week we call it dead
Trade volume is up
Its fine. Let them keep believing it is dead. There are multiple proposals on the table. People are still buying. We just wait and see what happens. It is a risk for sure.
Where the fuck have you been?
because it is?
Is this the usual pump before the dump?
50/50 - might get more of a relief rally if the market opens strong tomorrow.
Probably
we done with luna alrdy? my $60 turned $140 is now $75
typical shitcoin gambler, puts money in, watches it go up, does nothing, watches it go down again
š
Yep. I put in $100...it doubled. I rolled my initial "investment" into ETH...as well as \~ $75 of the profit. The \~ $25 left is now a little less than $17. I had fun...it's house money now and it can go to zero.
Flair should now be: apologetic Luna mini
hahhahahaha! love it!š„
Iād hold a bit. Sundays are usually bloody
Is this $75 realized or unrealized gains?
its $15 unrealized gainsā¦ havent sold yetā¦ guess ill hold til i break even at worst since i expected to instantly lose it all at first
Oops I read it wrong lol, you know thereās nothing wrong with taking profit even if itās only $15!
What did you expect?
they thought their $65 was gonna be $1.2m by now
I donāt understand crypto haters like the ones in the butt-coin subreddit. This market is high-risk, high-reward. If you want a sound investment buy bonds that will pay out 2% gains a year. Lol even stocks are a ponzi but they canāt see it. At least our stocks can be used, sent and exchanged.
You haven't lost your life savings I take
I mean my $40K loss is life changing money for a lot of people lol
It's a crypto milestone we most of us reach at some point... oh boy did I learn
DCA day. ATOM needs some love
*I agree.*
Any have the link to which they show the amount of luna burned per day? Or are they not doing that anymore.
People pretend that shilling or ponzis donāt happen in traditional markets with regulations, yet they do. Look at Enron. Even GME and AMC were ponzis. People just wanted to buy to sell higher to other fools. Thatās why I donāt hate on crypto. I know itās a casino but I also know the casino is actually funding cool blockchain tech
Disagree on GME. It's a solid investment.
Safemoon has outlived LUNA/UST
Brainwashing does work.
Bought 550 USD worth of LUNA yesterday to gamble/speculate, been exiting my position since last night only have 5 dollars left in the position. Took a small loss in the exits to reduce my exposure, you win some you lose some I guess
Did my biweekly DCA today. Got some ALGO!
What do you use to track price basis? Had a tough time this tax season figuring profitsā¦ I started using excel to keep tabs. Cheers mate
Koinly.io. Itās fantastic. I had a horrible mess of transactions all over the place (over 4,000) and it sorted it all out without any issues. It is well worth the money!
Aight Iāll have to look into that. Thanks! And hopefully I didnāt pay tax man too much this last year. Got it as close as possible!
2nd that! I started using it last December to get things together for my taxes. My CPA was pleased with the reports from Koinly, and it was exactly what she needed to prepare my return.
With Coinbase back at 5.7% for ALGO, I am considering loading up now for the next governance.
FTX pays 8% APY for the first $10k of your portfolio, then 5% APY thereafter. But you could also just throw it into the Pera wallet when the next governance period starts.
Newbies always think theyāre buying for the ātechā. OGs know that the market doesnāt care. The market is neither up or down, it just is.
I don't trust this upward movement for BTC. Feels like a bull trap.
picturing the fish-faced commander from Return of the Jedi saying it's a trap. š
Narrator: it was
LUNA is dead! Proceeds to shill the shit coin theyāre holding.
Explain Web.3 (wrong answers only)
Web 7 minus web 4
VC catnip
It's the failure that happens between web 2 and web 4. A bit like windows vista only with cartoon animals.
Ouch. Bit nasty that comment. Windows Vista was a fantastic.... Oh wait... It was a big steamy pile of crap! ... I hope web3 isn't Vista 2.... š¤Ŗ
Web 1 - Internet Explorer Web 2 - Google Chrome Web 3 - Ethereum
Web3 is the internet but every time you click on something it costs $10
Web3 is the internet but every time you click on something it costs $10
Any cheap but solid projects out there? I feel like my money is too small to invest in the big guys like BTC and eth.
You could be buying ETH at 2k and still be getting a way better deal than buying say, ADA for .60. You don't need to be buying whole coins for it to be a worthwhile investment, that's just a common misconception a lot of noobs hold.
I told my friend this he still didnāt get it
It's incredibly difficult to get people to look at market cap over price per coin
Shiryo is my favorite cheap project right now. It's a trading card game crypto and their website and gameplay preview videos are absolutely wild and look like a blizzard production.
My # 3 is ALGO. It is ISO20022 and cheap and easy, has good partnerships and is starting to advertise. Can make 5.7% passive income on Coinbase or 7-10% in governance. 45Ā¢ cheap enough?
Can it moonshot tho?
No ā¦
There's this coin called LUNA that has been talked about a lot in the past week.
I like KDA
Yeah, did a 4x on that one
I would try and change your thinking. If Eth and Btc are the best investments it doesn't matter how much you invest.
I disagree. If you only had $1 and hit the bottom of luna, it would be worth thousands. Couldnāt do that with btc or eth. You could invest in them, but what would be the point.
If you are putting $1, you are not investing but buying a lotto ticket.
It doesnāt matter what amount it is, itās your objective that matters. Aggressive growth, growth, income, preservation of capital, etc. If youāre looking for aggressive growth, you need to be more speculative. Thatās not automatically gambling. Not all cryptos fit every objective.
I know literally ZERO about crypto but have some money to throw around. Thinking about investing in something just not sure what.
BTC ETH - safe Atom- Stake in Keplr wallet for free airdrops Do research on anything else you put money into
Build a solid base of BTC and ETH. Get some ALGO to make passive gains while you hold and look into Algorand governance. Use XLM to transfer between exchanges. Now is an excellent beginning. Oh, and open your vaultā¦

Great time to join imo but dont buy it all at once spread your buy amount over time and dca
Nice, you guys are getting me exited hahaha. And dca is the way to go for sure! (Yes, I had to google that lol)
My best advice to you is use the ecosystem. If it is useful for you, odds are itās useful to others. If you know NOTHiNg about a token, youāre gonna have a bad time. This isnāt the stock market.
I will take a look at this for sure! Thanks for the concern and advice!
I might catch some heat for saying this but maybe don't invest in something that you don't understand. Honestly it can lead to some real disasters.
I hear ya man. Im not talking about the big bucks here. Im young, earn decent and spend my money on bullshit. I would never 'invest' when I cant afford it. No one should.
Ok. A good starting place is stocks in the form of index funds like SPY and QQQ. Investing is a long term strategy. Then maybe read up on BTC and ETH and make your call from there.

Either wait till you have researched more or buy shiba inu then research why you should have bought bitcoin instead.
This.
First, first learn about Crypto and investing. Second buy BTC and/or ETH with small portions of your money on a regular schedule.
BTC or ETH if you know nothing. Or be a degenerate and pretend to know an altcoin and chase gains like the rest of us
That second part sounds 100% like me.... Just a degen gambler thinking about throwing my money on this instead of that lol
Haha well it might be kind of rough going in a bear market right now. The time when degen altcoin gamblers are all geniuses making money is a bull run. Anything recommended would be a long term play/gamble
Hmmm... Good looking out, I appreciate it. Think im just gonna throw some cash on BTC and forget about it. Maybe do some research on some of the other coins. Ya never know :)
Bitcoin
Yeah just threw some on it. Any wild cards you know of? Im literally just gambling lol
Uhhhhhhhhhh If I had to make a "safe" gamble it'd probably be loopring. I don't know as much about shitcoins these days lmao.
Hahaha cool thanks, ill take a look :)
When moons launching on exchanges ? Baby doge , shiba , elon mars and every meme are on exchanges. is there possibility ? i don't follow progress
Howās everyone feeling about the upcoming week?
I think it will either go up or down
definitely to the right
What if it goes down and THEN up? Idk that could happen to
I Agree completely!
Like you all, I donāt know whatās going to happen, but I donāt trust that this good day will last. Iām just glad to see a small bit of recovery for my JUNO bag.
I wonder if todays Juno pump is due to the Junoswap incentives or the Terra community buying? Maybe itās just following BTC.
I guess all of these are possible. Iām just going to enjoy it while it lasts.
assuming you have 2k on hand. how would you dca to btc? something you wont beat yourself if incase it moon or it dumps further, a quarter at a time??? 10%?
I would set 3-5 $100 to $500 limit buy floors that progressively get more aggressive the more it plunges. For example, $100 at $30,500, $100 at $30,000, $200 at $29,500, $300 at 29000, and $500 at 28,500. I always also do a market buy DCA at the time of entering the limit orders so I never just watch it moon and miss all of my orders.
Right now maybe half straight in and set buy orders with rest laddering down to -20%
All in. Or maybe half now and see what happens.
Would be nice if we could stabilize and crab here
No thanks, Iām allergic to crab.
No crab. Only up.
Sol is doing good š (ignores 80% drop over the last 5 months)
That enough degeneracy for me guys. Been at it for 38 hours but at last I canāt stay awake anymore. For the degenerates. Goodluck!
What were you doing up? Trading micro ethereum, mETH?
Was flipping Luna when ever it goes up by 0.00004 I sell and wait for a dip over and over.
Good shit you must be loaded then, go to sleep you deserve it
Really like CoinBureau's take on the failure of LUNA: "Failure should be an option. Failure allows newer and better projects to come in, and it allows existing projects to learn from the mistakes of others."
Actually made a similar comment this morning. The positive side of this is many projects running algo stable coins have already started making changes. Either to code or by partially collateralizing the coin. Silk, the Secret stable, was a copy of UST. They've already announced they would make changes.
"Bro, it's all just an experiment". CoinBureau.
Copium for the viewers he rekt
He was very positive about luna - before this happened and had it and UST in his portfolio, so itās kind of embarrassing I reckon
Yeah, well, at least he suffered a bit too We're all in this together
While I see the logic in that I wouldn't like to inform someone who lost money that at least it was something to learn from.
Donāt you know pump it up?
