TRX Surges 14% - Transaction Fees Unchanged Unlike ETH **Gas Fees Will Increase While TRC20 & BEP2 Transaction Fees Remain Stable** Each time ETH surges 5% to 8% gas fees go through the roof and this is unlikely to change prior to the launch of ETH 2.0! ETH is currently looking at heading towards $500 and it is pretty likely that it will reach this target sooner than later. Folks that are hoping for gas fees to decrease need to realize that as ETH breaks resistance it is…
Structuring An Altcoin Portfolio For Stability & Profit **Portfolio Design Needs Focus** A lot of people in the Crypto space are currently scooping up DeFi projects at a rate, to both hodl and swing trade, myself included. However, it is not only what I am currently buying and I will be covering my ideas and approaches in this article, as well as my motivations behind them. If I allow myself to be completely consumed by the DeFi craze, I put myself in a dangerous position…
BlockFi Adds PAX Gold & USDT To Interest Bearing Accounts **Crypto & Gold Share A Common Thread** Bitcoiners are known to love BTC and Crypto in general for very much the same reason gold bugs love gold! It is hard money, both have to be mined and both require work to be brought into circulation. There are no short cuts and there is no brrrrrrr machinery to create an excessive supply. Though this is not the case for all Crypto, it is definitely the case for Bitcoin. BlockFi…
Let's Explore The World Of Passive Crypto Income - Part 2 **What Is The Motivation Behind Creating Passive Crypto Income?** I suppose there are many different reasons as to why people are drawn to the idea of creating passive income. For most, it is the dream of not having to work, while they lounge on a golden beach somewhere drinking cocktails. For me, it's about security, independence and being free to use my time at my own discretion. I enjoy what I do and even in the…
This Is Not 2018 - It's Time To Buy The Dip! **Buy The Dip!** We have been seeing this meme over the last few years, constantly encouraging buyers to buy the dip! I guess over the long-term there is never really a bad time to buy Bitcoin but there definitely is a better time to buy Bitcoin! Buying dips in a bear market defeats all rationality, especially over the medium-term. Sure, in the short-term you can trade and secure profits but it makes more sense to allow the bear…
Let's Explore The World Of Passive Crypto Income - Part 3 **To Benefit From Crypto You Have To Build** In Part 1 and Part 2 we gravitated around an opportunity that exists within the TRX ecosystem, namely the Bankroll Network. Unlike many smart contracts, the creator of Bankroll is very well known and public about his creation. This should be interpreted as a very positive sign, as transparency is the one thing all scammers seek to avoid.…
Why I Am Buying AWC While Many Are Dropping Atomic Wallet **The Recent Airdrop Removal Has Been Exaggerated** I know a lot of people are really disappointed by the decision of Atomic Wallet to remove the airdrop campaign that rewarded wallet users for onboarding new users to Atomic Wallet. I too was unhappy about the decision and hope that in time they will reintroduce a new incentive structure that they will be able to monitor more closely. This being said, what has…
I Avoided Yield Farming & The Food Court But Here Are The DeFi Projects I am Accumulating **Learn From The Past** I was present in the 2016 and 2017 ICO craze and that has helped me navigate my way through this recent DeFi frenzy. Most of the projects from that time fell by the wayside or at least fell to the bottom end of Coinmarketcap where they were quickly forgotten and became yesterday's news. Though that is the case for most, there are those projects that not only…
Coinex Users Beware! **There's A Right Way & A Wrong Way** It seems there is an ever increasing case of smaller exchanges suddenly implementing KYC without notifying their users prior to their decision. This would be bad enough if this was the only issue associated with this "move" but it get's worse. Recently Bitmex announced that they would be implementing KYC for all users. Fair enough, they announced it and have given their customers 6 months to become KYC compliant. I…
One Of The Most Surprising Opportunities Currently In DeFi **Late Friday Night Chart Studies** As I was going through charts, coins and projects on Friday evening I noticed something very interesting as I was checking out the price action on some of the BULL tokens available on FTX. These are FTX leveraged tokens but are also available on BitMax. https://ftx.com/#a=1922144 https://bitmax.io/register?inviteCode=ZDGOLQGF The BULL and BEAR tokens are 3X leveraged to the daily…
This Is Why TRX Will Be A Dominating Force This Super Cycle **The 2017 Darling** If you were in the Crypto space during the last bull run you will remember how Tron basically rose to fame in a matter of weeks. I picked up my first TRX at a fraction of a cent. Tron went on to become one of the best performing alts of the season, reaching an all time high of approximately $0.30! Funnily enough, the recent dynamics and development of the TRX network could not have come at a…
Trust Wallet With Built-In DEX Is Simply Awesome! **Why Are You Not Using Trust Wallet Yet?** This was a question I kept asking myself over and over again until I finally downloaded the Trust Wallet a number of weeks ago. I make use of a lot of wallets and storage facilities so as to spread my Crypto over a very large network of services. This is to minimize risk and also means that no single wallet or address is holding any significant amount of assets at any given time.…
Polkadot Flips ChainLink As BNB Rises To Fifth Position! **It Has Happened** A while back I mentioned the possibility of DOT dethroning LINK from the number 5 spot on Coinmarketcap. Well, DOT has flipped LINK but BNB has surprised both to slip in and steal the number 5 position. At the time of mentioning this very likely scenario there was still quite a significant difference in market cap that needed to be covered in order to make it a reality. Polkadot's continued adoption…
Let's Explore The World Of Passive Crypto Income - Part 4 **Let's Recap** In Part 1 and Part 2 we took a look at the Bankroll Network. There is a lot to choose from with different contracts focussing on different time frames and investment horizons. Generally, the longer the time frame needed to ROI, the higher the annual return rate of the contract. In Part 3 we looked at BitMax and their BTMX exchange token. Staking this exchange token ensures dividends primarily paid out…
Torum - Get Paid For Your Content & Social Media Engagements **The Shift** Blockchain powered social media platforms seem to be gaining a lot of attention in 2020! Publish0x, LBRY, Uptrennd and Read.cash have all been growing significantly and the concept of blockchain alternatives to the corporate giants are fast becoming way more attractive to users. Read.cash has had a very slow start but has seen a boost in users over the past 2 months or so. Uptrennd has also been…
Ankr - An Essential Quality Project To HODL Into 2021 **A Star Performer In A Current Buy Zone!** In recent weeks Ankr surged from approximately 26 sats to 158 sats and is currently trading in the region of 60 sats. Ankr has a really great service that they are bringing to the market, which is much needed and will be imperative in 2021. We will be looking at what that is and why I am so keen on holding ANKR into 2021 and perhaps beyond. **What Exactly Is Ankr All About?**…
It's Time To Seek Out DeFi Projects With Multiple Use Cases **From DeFi To NFT's?** In Crypto you always need to stay ahead of the game. You need to be looking at what is going to be hot next. What stands the greatest likelihood of succeeding and carrying the Crypto torch further down the road. You need to be doing this before the current fad begins to fade away and loose steam. Bitcoin is touching 11K again but alts have been hammered and are not responding much, at least…
Consistency Is The Key To Success In Crypto **An Industry Developing Incredibly Fast** Though consistency is key in pretty much every aspect of life and business, it is imperative in the world of Crypto. Things move, advance and develop at such a rate that if you are not consistently in the space each and every day you will get left behind. When we look at a project like ChainLink we can see this playing out perfectly, a team so focused and committed to their work and the…
A Different Approach to Mining SUN **The Herd Is Approaching The SUN** The launch of the SUN token has come at just the right time and as we discussed in a recent article, things are lining up very favorably for Tron. TRX has been largely unaffected by the recent altcoin mini crash and is sitting pretty secure at $0.03! Recently the price of the SUN token reached approximately 1350 TRX on Polonidex and is currently trading at 877 TRX. It is in fact rising after reaching a…
Why The Price Of BTC Is Currently So Stagnant **Confounded By The BTC Price** A lot of people within the Crypto space are quite confused as to why the price of BTC has not yet begun to surge significantly in 2020. The halving has come and gone, the FED is still printing and yet Bitcoin is still trapped below the 12K level. Bitcoin appears to be stuck in a trading range between $9600 and $12500, which can still create some decent trades for day traders but what about the…
CeFi Vs DeFi - BlockFi Offering Up To $250 On First Time Deposits! **Free Money In DeFi Motivates Generosity In The CeFi Space** There are probably a lot of people still kicking themselves for not trading on Uniswap but in all fairness, how was anyone to know that the biggest airdrop in the history of airdrops was going to come out of UNI. Well, that ship has long since sailed and it does not help focusing on what could have been but to rather look to the present and the…
Faucets Are Generally A Waste Of Time But These 5 Are On Another Level **This Keeps Coming Up In Comments** A lot of people reading my posts and the posts of many others often mention that the only access they have to getting their hands on some Crypto is via faucets. Now this is something that I don't usually write about as in general it is really a waste of time and can be discouraging to many users when they see their earnings relative to the amount of time they spent to…
Previous Pick Hashgard Is Up 533% While Markets Bleed **A Previous Pick By Sapphire Crypto Surges Amidst Market Collapse** Over the past 7 days Hashgard has surged an amazing 533%, while the rest of the Crypto market has lost significant ground. Market leaders such as ChainLink, BNB and even Polkadot are bleeding out in double digit losses today as BTC drops to the $10400 level. Hashgard was a pick that was published almost 4 weeks ago on Sapphire Crypto and has recently…
How I Am Navigating This Current Market Dip **Concerning The King & Queen** When it comes to BTC I am not that concerned about the current drop. A drop below $8500 would have me concerned but this current price action is actually expected by any trader worth his or her salt. I don't say this in light of the CME gap but rather by what the charts are saying. Recently we broke a multi year downtrend, signalling a breakout, however to correctly trade a breakout you want to see…
BTC On-Chain Analysis - Willy Woo Says Insufficient Sell-Side Pressure! **Crypto Is Not Stocks** If you are a Crypto trader and you are only relying on TA and news events to trade Bitcoin, you are missing out on one of the most important metrics to help you navigate your trades! On-chain analysis is a very insightful metric that can help you discern between meaningful price action and manipulation. For instance, one can monitor the amounts of BTC entering exchanges, which in…
Why NFT's Are The Most Logical Advancement For Artists **True Value Is On It's Way To The NFT Space** Recent NFT sales surpassed $100 million and it appears that many are trying to get in on the next big opportunity in Crypto. Do you remember Crypto Kitties from the 2017 and 2018 ICO boom? How many of these collectables sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars only to become pretty much worthless today. This will sadly be the inevitable outcome of many freshly minted NFT's…
Let's Explore The World Of Passive Crypto Income - Part 5 **The Stability Of Passive Crypto Income In Uncertain Times** The recent plummet in altcoin prices can be very traumatic for any altcoin trader and can sometimes last for months and even years, as we have so vividly seen in the Crypto winter of 2018 and 2019. Fortunately, I do believe that this drop will be short lived and that we are indeed months away from claiming new ground in regards to the Bitcoin price.…
Gas Fees Are Not The Only Reason TRX Is Enjoying DeFi Adoption **Is This The Beginning of A Significant Shift?** With the launch of SUN token and other DeFi focused projects, TRX has gained a lot of favor in the DeFi space in a very short amount of time. Some very well timed moves by Sun and his team are proving to be very viable indeed. If you are not operating with thousands of dollars in the DeFi space, you are pretty much excluded by default, due to insanely high gas…
Polkadot Staking Now On BitMax **Polkadot Believers** If you are a believer in Polkadot then you have probably been taking advantage of the recent discounts on offer in the marketplace. When prices plummet many run for the hills and yet the fundamentals of a solid project remain unchanged. The fundamentals of Polkadot at $6 are exactly the same as Polkadot at $4, which leaves me wondering why more people are not buying at these levels. If you were happy to buy DOT at $6 then…
