So, I have just dipped a very small toe into Crypto for the first time. What are the rules and what should I know? I’m using coinbase and see they take a commission. As my investment is pretty small I’m guessing regular trading will be pointless unless the gains are substantial - any pointers gratefully received
Crypto Currency - Believers Only
ArchimedesQ Pick a couple of coins, and hold them for a decade. You’ll probably make more money than you would having the same dollar / pound money in the bank. This is not financial advice.

Oh yeah, and if you have more than one of Dutchy’s wild accumulators invested, then get a hard wallet, and get all your coin off Coinbase and the like, and into your hard wallet.
Amps Superb advice - all in

Shib burn taking place hence the jump in price.
The big burn is supposibly on valentines day.
Short story on NFTs.
Treat them as any investment, there is a huge and growing market for them. Buy cheap and well, sell high, it really is that simple.
I personally don’t own them for artistic value or want a collection, purely for the gains.
High risk, high reward, this is crypto.

Value of the Bitcoin went from $71 mil in 2016 to $5 bil today 
Hursty Which of these pieces of magnificent NFT art do you recommend I invest in Hursty?

Just any that becomes available?
Sorry but if you think ANY NFT art looks good and pictures of apes drawn by idiot techbros will ever have any value you know absolutely nothing about art.
bosstrabs I’ve repeatedly said it’s not for me, I’m not really into any art, apart from the electronic beats variant!
It’s all crazy mental shit but that’s the world we live in, value is given by the community behind something and the online community is huge.
Regarding NFTs there are hundreds of other use cases, I’m currently working on one regarding carbon offsetting with someone who works in the airline industry, currently there is no way to verify the authenticity of such certificates and you rely on trusting a company which as we know is not great. Using blockchain technology and specifically minting a NFT version of a certificate means the validity/uniqueness can be verified by anyone anytime, reducing fraud etc.
There is a lot more to NFTs than just jpeg images…
Yeah very, very early days for NFT’s but from what i can see so far it’s the underlying contract sitting on the blockchain that can potentially be a game changer…
For the music biz types this could give artists with a following a chance to, say, flog an album as an NFT direct to fans with a share of streaming profits, fan meets etc. then it becomes tradeable…so no need for the record company to stump up the advances or to own the rights.
Exciting stuff potentially from what I can see? Although I could easily be totally wrong as I don’t claim to fully understand it yet!
The acronym I most think of when I hear NFT is NFI.

You can buy Alpha Kong NFTs for 0.6 eth at the moment. That’s $1,833 in FIAT currency.
Get in before they go to 4 eth each.
Not much doing out in China at the moment Dave with everyone locked up?
Hursty Not much doing out in China at the moment Dave with everyone locked up?
Beijing had one case yesterday, the whole city is running free with an iron wall around it so the nongs can’t get in.
It’s the poor bastards outside the capital you want to feel sorry for.
Bought any Alpha Kongs yet?
