I want to use bitcoin as collateral on a farm like aave. If I wrap the bitcoin and then deposit onto a money market like Aave is that considered a taxable event ? I’ve heard that the irs considers wbtc and btc difft coins .

Questions and Ramblings from Not a Layman, Not an Expert, Regarding How we Evaluate Cryptocurrencies
Hello and to whom it may concern,
I've been involved in the crypto-market since 2017 and it's taken me quite some time just to wrap my head around why BTC was valuable. Though I intuitively felt it so in 2017, I wouldn't say I had my own fully solidified opinion as to why it was worth buying until 2019. It was then that I had decided BTC was censorship resistant and that its vetted, algorithmic, known schedule of issuance and transparent functioning was something that was incredibly valuable when compared against government issued currencies -- which seem to be by-in-large corruptible and subject to serious debasement over my life time (the timeframe I care the most about).
With that established, I haven't felt it necessary to really evaluate the "merit" of Bitcoin so much as evaluate the timing of buying it (insofar as I have the luxury to do so because sometimes I need more $) as 50-80% corrections and bear markets still seem to be par for the course (though that could change in the coming years).
With a crystalizing/formative moment in the form of the March 2020 collapse in my rearview window, I'm now moving on to try and develop the same resonating/solidified concept around why altcoins are valuable long-term but admittedly, I'm having a lot of difficulty finalizing this for a multitude of reasons I'd like to share. Maybe there's something I don't know (well that's definitely true), maybe my fundamental understanding is seriously lacking, or maybe we are still largely in a voting system that is still very largely removed from "weight" aka merit and I'm noticing that. I'm not saying that with more merited principles established the values of cryptos become crystal clear, I'm just saying there seems to be a glaring hole in the altcoin space as to how we evaluate, as the only crypto that can make the claim as the binary alternative to fiat is BTC (because of its long-standing decentralization and trustless trust). Sure, other currencies can enjoy a similar existence, but that's still off the shoulders of the OG Bitcoin (and no I'm not a maximalist because I suspect value in alts).
So here's where I'm getting held-up, especially when I bother to contrast Layer 1 altcoins with Bitcoin:
Most of everything outside of BTC that is a Layer 1 has a conceptual value that is predicated on a tokenomic scheme coupled with circulation or quantity reducing mechanisms via utility/transactions -- would that be fair to say (further facilitated by smart contracts)? If so:
- Why are so many Layer 1s valued in the billions if not tens of billions when the "organic" mechanisms of their utility reducing circulating supply / quantity are not what is driving price? For example, these cryptos don't get to make -- in whole -- the same store of value claim as Bitcoin, they make their argument in terms of blockchain as a service but currently their speculation is rampantly outpacing their organic utility reducing supply mechanisms. By the time these "merited mechanisms" actually take some sort of hold, the speculative aspect of their value will be so incredibly exponentially above their utility-driving-value-mechanisms that it won't even matter. Furthermore, what is the merited way of evaluating utility/transactions?
- In the absence of utility driving value organically, we seem to favour re-scripted mechanisms of supply reduction (i.e. inorganic forms of reduction) like "burning of tokens". Why do we support these measures? Don't these measures take out of incentivization/stimulation and lend themselves more to speculation markets driving the price? Are we not sort of taking out of one merited hand (organic incentivization and utility) to feed another (inorganic/artificially imposed demand/supply discrepancies)? Doesn't this kind of sh*t make cryptocurrencies incredibly similar to fiat currencies? Except with a new wrinkle of corruptible money on a blockchain? And no observable real-world consequences like not having enough injection to stimulate essential functions services?
- We say we value "strength of ecosystems", "# of dApps", and "TVL" but these metrics seem very incomplete for evaluating a Layer 1s price:
First of all, almost no one is using any of the dApps on the service-based blockchains. In the lead we have BSC with 1,000,000 regular users, but how do we get there? We get there through a highly centralized chain and some novel DeFi applications, correct? So basically, we're incentivizing use of applications through short-term rewards on a highly-centralized chain, and our hook is compounding interest but surely this has an expiration, does it not? I mean we see already with liquidity pools the rewards go down drastically from their inception as more people come aboard. As well, our economic value proposition of BTC has been kind of thrown out the window because we sacrifice decentralization. The rewards we get are in a sense merited, as every market seems to have its scalpers but it feels kind of like we are on an immense freight train of rewards with no real grasp of where we're going or where we end up, or what or for how long our train can remain fueled. Basically, there's a whole lot of imperfection and with that there's opportunity, but we're doing it in a fundamentally centralized landscape and that makes everything just feel kind of weird to be honest. We are like a fundamental 180 degree pivot in the opposite direction of Bitcoin in a lot of cases (hello EOS, we still see you) but for whatever reason, we seem un-phased.
Regarding TVL, we see a lot of different layer 2s and layer 1s boasting some good numbers but... these TVLs do not have any nuanced analysis. For example, how many unique users make up the TVL? In Ethereum's most prominent DeFi example, over 15 billion worth of TVL is divided up a mere 800 users -- that's like $19,000,000 per user. Okay, so like if the top 2 whales of this group unbond how does that affect TVL? What's the likelihood that they do? How long have they been invested? And even if we do secure all of that information, why are we so comfortable investing on that basis when we again arrive at a fundamental problem -- the use of these applications is highly, highly concentrated to a select few. Now I understand the idea of thinking of the entire market as a single entity, but even still I think we should admit a mass exodus is almost certainly, entirely, spearheaded by a single whale blinking every single time throughout history. I don't think a "run on TVL" ever pre-empts a whale move, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I don't feel like it's something worth hanging my "secured value" hat on, though I understand if a couple of whales abandon ship my prospective lending/liquidity rewards should go up right, but what's the market have to say about 2 whales taking away 90% of the TVL?
Beyond these questions to which I have no answers, I'd like to move onto this "interoperable" future. A lot of Layer 1s have predicated their value on the dApps they host (with little to no users) and the TVL (again comprised of whales) they have -- but what happens to this utility-driving-value scenario in the interoperable future? I mean, I honestly don't understand this. If we're going to be swapping between chains in a seamless, automated fashion then who gets the keep within the Layer 1s? Is it more likely to be wherever most of the dApps and users started out? How will the autonomous automated systems decide between subsequent chains? Will it be in accordance with any of trilemma criteria we once cared about (decentralization, security, and scalability?). Also, why the hell does anyone bother to make a language other than solidity if we're just going to make "solidity compilers"? This is just bizarre to me, we set out to make something more secure, then we make it backwards compatible, the integration of which opens up even more holes for security weaknesses and bugs. I mean this one really does get me, it seems like the most important thing is whatever developers want to use, but whatever developers want to use isn't necessarily the most secure or bug free -- a problem which will be further exacerbated by interoperability, will it not? Other than that, we're seriously out-developing the actual scalability of the most popular chain, and as a solution to that we're by in large creating shiny new centralized Layer 1 solutions. which in recent prolific examples get shut down by a single bot-spam, or have to leverage an even more centralized Layer 2 -- that also isn't done yet -- to keep up. (I'm not naming names to avoid fan-boy down votes, but if you follow crypto on a weekly basis you are probably familiar with who and what events I am referencing).
So in the medium term we've gotten completely away from utility driving value and by the time utility does drive value some of the more merited Layer 1s won't be an option because the voting system is propping up the most marketed chains on half-baked concepts of ecosystem strength, TVL, # of dApps, TPS, scalability, gimmicky tokenomics, and arguably above all -- HYPE.
So I guess my real question in all of this is:
- If long-term meritocracy is our aim, how SHOULD we actually evaluate Layer 1 altcoins?
- How long will we persist n this dichotomy of Satoshi's Trilemma fulfillment and altcoins? Will there come a reckoning day where we realize we got way ahead of ourselves? Better yet will there come a reckoning day where we at least just trim off all of this fat? Or am I going to witness a machine of highly marketed and recycled altcoins in perpetuity? Will the equivalent of Shiba Inu still be a top 20 coin 5 years from now?
I mean, if it's not already apparent I really don't have solid answers for any of this. I'm just a guy with a better than layman but way less than expert understanding. Regardless, I get the sense I'm being a little naïve in all of this and most of everything is just going to come back to different-shades-of-hype driving market speculation and price. That said, I also think I might be onto something and that instead of getting caught up in all of these different shades of hype, I should just focus on who is truly winning the decentralized-regular-user race. After all, that is what it means to be Google, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Reddit, and the like. Who is truly going to make an on-chain, everyday user out of the masses?
TLDR:
I AM CONFUSED.
Price difference in Bitcoin and Index price
Foremost I have a trade that doesn't have any trading details at all and have to pay $212 in fees. Second, I had a long position in BTC Perpetual / USDT the issue is the price of the bitcoin at the time and the mark price have $200 gap. Therefore, when I entered at 60,700 it automatically fixed me to the index price which have $200 gap. That causes me to get liquidated in a few seconds. I already checked with other CEX like Binance and Kraken and they don't suffer that very issue and I think this is against the law since you're using the fact other CEX have current price and index price different of about few dollar < $50 while your CEX have gap of literally three digits. I hope you guys can reach me out ASAP as I literally have lots of transaction that you guys actually did the same since the beginning of me using Kucoin futures. And I have never face this issue in Binance at all. I have a lot more of similar event happening that caused by the same issues. I hope Customer Support will answer me as Kucoin is one the best CEX I used so far except the fact the Futures are killing me both with fees and unfair mark price and index price gap.

Why Bloktopia will be the play of this bull run.
Bloktopia just announced a partnership with Travala.com, Avalanche, and Elrond in the span of two weeks.
This is due diligence on something I believe in. I hold a few low cap gems in my portfolio alongside ETH ADA DOT and this is my biggest bet. I called MTV at .006 and was in DOGE at .008. I was going to post this when BLOK was at .03 (I should have) but didn’t want to come off as a shill. Here is why Bloktopia deserves major attention right now.
THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO
The metaverse industry is estimated to become an $815 billion industry by 2025. Facebook is even rebranding around its pivot to the metaverse world. A combination of crypto, NFTs, VR, and gaming, and community is the future of blockchain technology. Investing into anything NFT metaverse gaming related right now is like being on the ground floor within the ground floor of crypto.
WHAT IS BLOKTOPIA?
“Bloktopia is a Skyscraper made up of 21 levels to pay recognition to 21 million Bitcoin. Token holders will be known as Bloktopians. It will act as a central hub and welcome all levels of crypto experience. For the first time ever, users will have access to crypto information and immersive content all in one place. Bloktopians will be able to earn revenue through real estate ownership, advertising revenue, play games, build networks and much more. By using the world’s most advanced real time 3D Creation Engine, Bloktopia will leverage this technology to create stunning visualisations and user experience.”
Basically a giant metaverse space with 21 floors where people can come together and interact about everything crypto.
WHAT CAN YOU DO IN BLOKTOPIA?
This is summarized in four words.
LEARN You can learn about crypto through virtual events, seminars, keynotes, connecting with other users, virtual educational learning tools, and project sponsored events- all within the metaverse with other people. They built a virtual auditorium in one of the floors for projects to host virtual keynotes! There is also talk of virtual watch parties for sports and news events.
EARN Projects can earn revenue through advertisement revenue through totems and spaces etc in BLOKTOPIA giving exposure to 300+ million users worldwide. If you watch the teaser video currently some of these are Polygon, Avalanche, Binance, BitBoy, Jake Paul…etc. Really interesting concept with some big names already. Users can also generate revenue by buying and selling virtual real estate through what they call REBLOK. Pretty neat. Influencers and projects can also have their own virtual stores where they sell things like NFTs! Looks like BitBoy and Jake Paul already secured a spot. So did Travala.com!
You can earn passive income as well through staking BLOK although I believe for now the staking pools are full.
PLAY This is exciting. Users can play virtual games together to earn crypto and prizes. Virtual gaming is already blowing up and I have no doubt this feature is going to absolutely draw more people to connect virtually and play to earn. This is a great way to social network as well. There are contests and a virtual prize wheel you can spin everyday and even a Lamborghini drawing where you can win an actual lambo delivered to your door.
CREATE This is the one I understand the least. Here is the quote from their website.
“Create scenes, artworks, challenges and more, using the simple builder tool, then take part in events to win prizes. For more experienced creators, the SDK provides the tools to fill the world with social games and applications.”
Basically, BLOKTOPIA mission is to become the central hub for crypto. Think this subreddit turned into a virtual metaverse where you can do literally everything.
PARTNERS
They have some stacked partnerships. BLOKTOPIA is built on Polygon but they recently announced partnerships with Travala.com and Avalanche and Elrond. Their whitepaper also list Coinbase as a potential virtual leaser. What’s interesting is that Avalanche’s logo was displayed on their teaser video a few weeks ago but the partnership was only announced the other day. Going by that logic if you watch the teaser video again Binance is freaking everywhere…what could that mean? Is a listing on the horizon? Check out this tweet as well.
Also Binance recently basically revealed that they literally have a level in Bloktopia. The connections are too obvious and IMO a listing is almost guaranteed.
TEAM
The team looks strong with a ton of high level experience in their fields but the person I’m interested in is their CTO a man named Simon Benson. Before this he was the director of Immersive Experience for Sony with over 25 years experience in his field.
TOKENOMICS
Circulating supply: 2,040,000,000 Maximum supply: 200,000,000,000 Key metrics: Team holds 15%, treasury holds 33%, staking wallet holds 25%, advisors hold 7%. Rest is early adopters, seed and private rounds, public sale, and exchanges.
Now the best news. BLOK is DEFLATIONARY! Tokens used for land sales and real estate are BURNED to reduce the supply. Love it.
BLOK listed on KuCoin three weeks ago at .0002 cents and is currently sitting at about .065 (more than 15,000% gain…crazy) for a market cap of just, that’s right, $132 million 😂
To put that into perspective if BLOKTOPIA had the market cap of Decentraland’s ATH it would put BLOK at .83! Now with all these partnerships being announced, groundbreaking in-world features, and likely Binance listing on the horizon…is this really that out of reach this cycle?
DYOR! ✌️ GLTA! NFA.
EDIT: Volume is crazy right now.
Your wallet DOES NOT store your coins.
Does My Wallet Store My Coins?
No, not really.
Your wallet doesn't store your coins (that's actually the beauty of it!). Rather, it stores the ability to access and transact with your coins (i.e. your keys).
What does that mean and if my wallet doesn't store my coins, where are they stored?
Your coins are stored on the blockchain. Think of it as a huge, universal list that records every single transaction associated with said coin.
Each transaction shows who sent whom coins and how many they sent them.
For example:
- Bill sent Sally 2 coins
- Sally sent Tom 3 coins
- Tom send Bill 1 coin
- etc.
It wouldn't be very private if names were associated with the transactions.
So instead of names, each transaction shows the addresses generated from the respective persons wallet (think of it like an anonymous email address).
In fact, a wallet can generate a virtually infinite number of different addresses (thus, more anonymity) but they'll all be associated with said wallet.
The amount of coins you have are determined by adding and subtracting all of the transactions associated by the addresses generated by your wallet.
Back to our example:
- Bill started out with 5 coins.
- Bill sent Sally 2 coins (-2)
- Tom send Bill 1 coin (+1)
- Bill now has 4 coins.
So if my coins are stored on the blockchain, what does my wallet actually do?
When you generate a new seed or import a seed to a wallet, it uses those 12-24 words to generate a set keys (think of it like an actual set of keys but digital) which are stored on your wallet device.
Your wallet uses those keys to generate addresses.
When you receive coins, your keys generate an address you can provide others to send to.
When you send coins, your keys authorize sending coins from an address it generated to someone else's address (creating a transaction recorded on the blockchain).
Thus, those keys show ownership for all the transactions of the addresses that they generated to recieve and authorized to send.
Your wallet interface simply adds and subtracts all of those transactions of the address associated with your keys to show you the amounts.
So to be frank, your wallet stores your keys.
Concluding thoughts
It's honestly misleading to call a device a "wallet". It's more like a keychain since it doesn't store your coins, but allows access to your coins.
This is why securing your seed is so important.
From just your 12-24 word seed phrase, a wallet can use that re-create and recover all the data needed to access your coins.
It can inputted into as many devices as you want (at the same time) and they will all share the same authority over those coins. This means someone else can to without you knowing if they have access to your seed.
So it is imperative to keep your seed safe and ensure it's longevity in the event your wallet device fails.

Текст вторничной статьи
ШВАБРА КАК БУМЕРАНГ
Госдеп США отнёс россиян к категории «бездомной национальности», которая не сможет получить американскую визу на территории своей страны. Хотите визу – обращайтесь в американское посольство в Варшаве. В списке «бездомных наций» у американцев фигурируют Венесуэла, Иран, Йемен, Куба, Ливия, Сирия, Сомали, Южный Судан, Эритрея. Воистину – величайшее достижение: болтаться в мировом коллекторе где-то между Кубой, Ливией и Сомали.
Такое признание заставило МИДовскую людоедочку Захарову выдохнуть перегаром: «США превратили процедуру оформления виз в настоящий ад, в основе которого лежит издевательство на грани садизма». Это не в России насилуют людей бутылками дп швабрами. Это американцы – конченные садюги. Нет, визит Нуланд не помог. Как не помог вчерашний звонок Бориса Джонсона. Пацаны играют ножичками в скрепной подворотне, а главный «понторез» продолжает брать мир «на слабо». На польско-белорусской границе живое оружие продолжает прорывать оборону поляков; ордынский вождь нагнетает «газовый кризис» в Евросоюзе, параллельно раскручивая маховик репрессий внутри пещеры. Потому что, если не накачивать атмосферу страхом – дикари распустятся окончательно.
В культурном Петербурге охранник избил подростка за то, что тот посмел сфотографировать просроченный товар, разложенный на прилавке. В менее культурной Ленобласти задержали сына судьи за убийство и изнасилование десятилетней девочки. В Алтайском крае расшалившиеся детёныши людоедов облили бензином и подожгли 14-летнего подростка, который позже скончался от полученных ожогов. Таковы легкие штрихи только одного пещерного дня, который ничем не лучше и не хуже остальных. Как и было сказано: «до цивилизованного мира будут доноситься приглушенные стоны и хруст костей». Но самое главное – это, конечно же, идеология, коей верховный жрец вооружил своих воинственных сектантов. Консерватизм во имя законсервированной человечины. Слышали последнее слово высокодуховного питерского историка-расчленителя Соколова? – а вы послушайте. В этих рассуждениях всё: и жизнь, и слезы, и любовь до гроба. А жертва сама виновата, довела профессора до ручки. Может, и сожженный на Алтае подросток спровоцировал диковатых ребятишек? И десятилетняя девочка в Ленобласти развязно себя вела? И какого черта пацан фоткал просроченный товар? Нравы у нас на зоне суровые, и ежели что не так – рука тотчас тянется к кобуре, и скажи спасибо, если на ее пути попадется швабра. Консерватизм – это верность традициям, поэтому главная цель – историческая преемственность мохнатых глубин. Черепа и кости обнаружили жители поселка Шершни на окраине Челябинска. Они всего-то хотели провести канализацию к дому, но внезапно наткнулись на преемственность. По версии следаков-краеведов, останки принадлежали расстрелянным в 30-е годы «врагам народа». Часть останков вызванные на место находки сотрудники полиции сложили в мешок и забрали с собой, а остальные кости посоветовали выкопать и выбросить в помойку. Неудобные улики, оставшиеся от дедовских НКВДшных забав, в людоедне принято игнорировать. Время было такое, традиции только-только разрабатывались и внедрялись по всей линии гражданского фронта. Силовики тогда именовались чекистами, но шваброй орудовали уже вовсю. И теперь она возвращается бумерангом преемственности. Либеральненькое «Эхо Москвы» ставит перед аудиторией вопрос ребром: «Что вам ближе: путинский консерватизм или западные новшества: ЛГБТ, БЛМ, МИТУ?» - и аудитория решительно выбирает консервы с человечиной. 67% - за нашу несгибаемую швабру. И лишь 32% отравлены тлетворным влиянием всяких там ЛГБТ и БЛМ. Шерсть отросла и клыки заострились. Вот с этой развращенной третью населения отныне и будет вестись беспощадная борьба. Загнать в темный угол и там придушить, предварительно опустив по законам скрепной зоны.
Но главными врагами у «эховских либералов» являются Муждабаев с Бабченко, от ироничной русофобии которых выворачивает наизнанку нежнейших радио-мыслителей Артемия Троицкого и Ксению Ларину. При этом первый постанывает от любви к России-матушке из Эстонии, вторая – из далекой Португалии. Причем, оба, зная о желании чекистов грохнуть ненавистного Бабченко, как бы вскользь рассуждают о том, что русофоб этот ныне проживает в спальном районе Таллинна. Допустим, вы его ненавидите, но сдавать человека Гестапо – это не просто низость. Это – соучастие в преступлении, которое уже было совершено, просто не до конца. Ублюдистан дна не имеет, он сам по себе – черная фашнявая дыра, куда засасывает все, что еще вчера искрилось жизнью и лоснилось от успеха: Ларину и Троицкого, Муратова и Шендеровича. Вот Быков уехал, вовремя выскочив из чана с говном, но шлейф за ним пока что тянется. Сумеет ли отрубить, ибо сделать это не просто, имперство прорастает корнями, его с кровью приходится вырывать из себя. Вот и получается, что тот же Бабченко, от которого у вас кровь из глаз и из ушей, опять оказался прав: вчерашние либеральчики, игравшие в оппозиционность, смешались с фашиками, достигнув нужной для режима консистенции. И националист Навальный для них – герой, страдалец и заслуженный лауреат премии Сахарова. Таран, насмерть протаранивший остатки оппозиции и превративший их в тех же опарышей, что копошатся на теле смердящей империи вместе с путло-червяками. У этих паразитов совести и морали нет. Они всецело состоят из инстинктов, заключенных в толстом черепе. Иногда они и сами превращаются в объекты для пыток или просто – еду. И тогда более жизнеспособные опарыши советуют им «помирать дома» и не звонить в скорую, как заявил один иркутский эскулап: «Вот если вы не привились и заболели, ну тогда не звоните в скорую, помирайте дома. Человек в реанимацию попадает, потому что он не верит в вакцинацию. А в реанимации начинает верить». Правильно, доктор! Швабру им в задницу и бутылку в глотку. А еще лучше – девять грамм в затылок. Помирать надо согласно традициям, как деды-БДСМщики завещали. Садо-мазо – наше всё! Поднять коричневый флаг с веселым Роджером над беззубым Кремлем! И зигануть шваброй из задницы!..

What is your Bitcoin Pizza?
We've all heard stories of people spending huge amounts of crypto when it was young. For example, we all know of the Bitcoin pizza event where in 2010 someone paid 10,000 bitcoins for 2 pizzas.
So my question is to those who are early adopters of crypto. Bitcoin especially. Have you ever had a bitcoin pizza incident? Or did spend any bitcoin at all back in the day?
If you came into the bitcoin scene early, what was it like. How much were stuff back them, who accepted bitcoin. Where did you buy bitcoin in 2010?

About this coin
We are not going to tell you HODL, x1000 or LAMBOS. This is the real shitcoin, a parody of bitcoin and all BSC shitcoins in general. We have started with a very low marketcap and without private/public presales that dump the coin, anyone who entered the first hours after reddit post could have been a whale.
Not expect x1000 or big marketing campaigns, most of the time it ends up in a pump and dump, we prefer a slow and steady growth. We hope to build one of the largest communities in crypto, our marketing will consist of making contests on twitter, viral stuff and gathering all the ideas that users contribute.
In our group all opinions are welcome, we are not going to ban anyone for FUD, we are not a sect, we want to take into account all the contributions and ideas of the holders. We will only ban for inappropriate racist, homophoic or sexist comments. We would like to keep good vibes Smiley

Smarter To Stake?
An Introduction to Cryptocurrency Staking
On the surface level, staking is a way of earning rewards for holding some cryptocurrencies. It involves locking up a portion of your cryptocurrency for a specific period as a way of contributing to a blockchain network. Stakers get rewarded typically in the form of additional coins or tokens.
Staking can be considered similar to traditional investment instruments, such as depositing money in a bank and agreeing not to withdraw it for a set period. This generates interest for the depositor. Staking involves delegating a certain number of tokens towards the administrative model of the blockchain. These tokens are out of circulation for a specified length of time.
How does staking work?
If a cryptocurrency allows staking, such as the MARS Coin - the holder can volunteer to stack his tokens. In exchange, the holder may earn rewards. The staked tokens generate rewards because they work in a consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake.
With the lack of a central governing authority in decentralised networks, all transactions are verified using a consensus mechanism. Blockchain networks employ a consensus mechanism to achieve a necessary agreement on various transactions by synchronising the majority of the nodes on the network. There are two types of consensus mechanisms used by blockchain networks: Proof of Work and Proof of Stake.
Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake
Via proof of work, the network throws an incredible amount of processing power at solving mathematical problems for validating transactions and ensuring the legitimacy of the same. Miners are involved in solving these cryptographic puzzles. The first to solve these equations earns the right to add the latest block to the blockchain and receive some crypto tokens for their effort.
Proof of work is a scalable solution for simpler blockchains such as Bitcoin, which track incoming and outgoing transactions like a ledger. But it may cause bottlenecks when applied to complex blockchains such as Ethereum.
On the other hand, Proof of Stake omits the idea of miners solving math problems through an energy-intensive process. Instead, users put their tokens to stake to be eligible to add a new block onto the blockchain in exchange for a reward. These staked tokens act as a guarantee of the legitimacy of the transactions they add to the blockchain.
Validators are chosen by the network, depending on the size of their stake and the length of time they have held it. If transactions approved by a validator are found to be invalid, a certain amount of their stake can be burnt by the network. The burning of such stakes is called a slashing event.
Benefits of Staking?
Stakers get voting rights. These give the investor a say in the development of the protocol for a cryptocurrency. Additionally, as staking is a cost-effective method of verification, validators get to contribute to the security and efficiency of the blockchain they have invested in.
With tokens such as MARS, investors can simply opt to stake their holding and watch it grow without stressing about mining. Staking requires lesser resources as opposed to mining which uses intensive mining equipment and power. Long term cryptocurrency holders reap the benefits of earning additional crypto tokens by putting them at stake.
Staking surely is great a beginner-friendly way for all investors to reap the benefits of the cryptocurrency boom.

What is your biggest "what if..." in your crypto experience
We all make mistakes, and many of us are ashamed of them, but I think it's time to embrace them and start learning from them. When it comes to investing in cryptocurrencies, it is very easy to think of an upcoming event that ends up not happening, or worse, the opposite ends up happening.
In my personal experience, there have been quite a few, if not many. For example, not buying some Bitcoin in 2013, selling Polkadot at $4 and failing several x10 and x20 due to impatience and wanting to sell early.
Many times I wonder what would have happened if everything in my experience as a cryptocurrency investor had been relatively perfect. Maybe I could have enjoyed the money more, but in the long run and even if it hurts me, I think I have experience, which is often more valuable than the money itself.
In your experience, what is your biggest regret or "what if…" when it comes to investing in crypto?

The bot crisis is NOT only a TF2 problem
I decided to try and play some F2P CS:GO by using a new account, since I bought the game a day before it became free to play on my main, it automatically gave me the premium matchmaking. I never encountered a single bot or a single DDoS attack on that, but I figured that was because I was using the premium paid matchmaker. I don't like CS:GO, and I knew that Valve paid a lot more attention to that game, so I wondered if it had the same problem as TF2.
TLDR: It does, but it is quite minimal compared to TF2.
I queued up for a match. I told the friendly lobby that I was a new player and was wondering if this game has as big of a bot and DDoS problem as TF2. After asking this and them replying "we have a lot of cheaters but I've never seen a bot", the server started to lag to an unbelievable degree. Everyone on the server complained and did not understand how this was happening. I then told them this seems very similar to TF2. When the match was completed, I encountered my first CS:GO bot. The bot started mic spamming and was named "BUY BITCOIN NOW" or some garbage like that. I then proceeded to queue in several other game modes and most of the servers I played on suffered from this server-wide lag; it wasn't on my end. I didn't see another micspamming bot, but for all I know, there could have been more bots that I didn't notice due to the TTK in CS:GO being so quick I can't really identify cheaters very well, but that is my own lack of experience at the game.
My conclusion from this little experiment is that, shockingly enough, Valve's fucktoy CS:GO has a mild bot problem, but nothing compared to TF2. Trying to join the new event maps is impossible because EVERY single game you find has ~50% bots.
This begs the question "why doesn't valve improve the security on all their games if this is a problem observed even on CS:GO"? I really couldn't say, I am slowly losing my faith in Valve, most companies would be calling a company-wide fire and putting everything aside to solve such a crisis, all hands on deck. My mind is boggled by this and the only way I can sleep at night is thinking that maybe Valve is developing a massive solution behind the scenes since this seems to not just be limited to TF2.
I'm curious to see if this issue can also be observed in DOTA 2, but I really couldn't stomach more than 2 hours of that god-awful game. If anyone has insight on that game, please let us know!
Thanks for reading <3
