This is a brief review and list of about 60 blockchain services, resources, applications, etc. excluding social media platforms. This previously went with my comprehensive review, but I will now do these separately to shorten the length of those reviews.

I’ve tried most of these myself and there are many that I’ve done interviews with key executive members or influencers associated with these projects.

 I’ve broken them up into categories including swap exchanges, tracking crypto, spending crypto, privacy, earning crypto, tools & resources, education, domains / human-readable crypto addresses, internet browsers, crypto communities, cloud storage, airdrops, gig marketplace, crypto wallets, crypto exchanges, crypto lending, crypto real estate, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and music.

The List:

I review them both in this video: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/can-you-spend-crypto-anywhere-ep-205:6. The main differences are really just the fee structures and how the transactions occur. I’ve found myself using Bitvo - https://bitvo.com/ more often, but there are many other companies out there based on where you live that offer similar prepaid credit card options. - https://localcoinatm.com/

Crypto Wallets

I am not reviewing a bunch of wallets and there are hundreds I could list, but I will just list the wallet I do use or have tested before. I will be doing more individual wallet reviews and comparisons in the future.

Safepal – The cheapest hardware wallet available on the market currently with a unique QR code verification system that was invested in and backed by Binance. https://www.safepal.io/ - This is my interview with Veronica Wong from Safepal: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/Discussing-Safepal-With-Veronica-Wong:7 and this is my review of their hardware wallet - https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/The-SafePal-S1-Crypto-Hardware-Wallet-Review-2:c.

Ledger – Offers a cheaper and a more expensive option with varying features. This is the wallet I currently use the most for security and ease of use. - https://shop.ledger.com/?r=4afbc8de6263 – This is my previous review of the Nano X here: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/my-review-of-the-ledger-nano-x-crypto:2

Trust Wallet – This is a solid wallet you can download and start using to store many of your tokens and cryptocurrency. There are many generic wallets that work just fine and this is one. - https://trustwallet.com/

Badger Wallet – A wallet I used for BCH and SLP tokens which are tokens created on Bitcoin Cash. https://badger.bitcoin.com/

Tronlink – This is my go-to wallet for holding TRON and any Tron related tokens. I stake my TRON and vote to earn staking rewards really easily either on mobile or using an extension on my browser. - https://www.tronlink.org/

MetaMask - Metamask is an Ethereum based wallet meaning we can use it to store all our ERC20 tokens and ETH. Here’s an old video of mine on how to use it - https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/metamask-setting-it-up-and-how-to-use-it:1. You can download the extension or the mobile app - https://metamask.io/

Dash Wallet – A wallet for DASH to easily store and send payments. I just use the mobile app because it’s the fastest and cheapest way to refill gift cards on Bitrefill. - https://www.dash.org/  

 

Crypto Exchanges

Just like crypto swap exchanges or crypto wallets, there are hundreds, but I will share the few I use or have used. I will do exchange comparisons in the future.

Binance – Major exchange that trades thousands of different cryptocurrencies. You can hold their cryptocurrency BNB to lower your exchange fees. You can only trade crypto for crypto meaning you cannot utilize fiat money like dollars. - https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=V42U6T2M

Coinsquare – Canadian exchanges as an on-ramp for fiat money aka I can convert my Canadian dollars into cryptocurrency. I used to use Coinsquare mainly as an on-ramp for fiat currency and then traded on Binance. You can trade about 20 major cryptocurrencies on here. Now I tend to use Bitvo because, with Coinsquare, e-transfers sometimes took up to 3 days to complete. However, it is a great Canadian exchange. - https://coinsquare.com/register/?r=ymDGp

Bitvo – I’m listing it again as an exchange because I use it more frequently to convert my Canadian dollars into Bitcoin. They allow instant e-transfers which alleviates and concern having to wait 3 days for a transfer like with Coinsquare. You have 1% fees on everything, but it’s worth the convenience. - https://bitvo.com/

Coinbase – The US/International version of Coinsquare. It allows you to on-ramp from fiat and trade major cryptocurrencies. It also lets you sell crypto and deposit fiat into your Paypal account directly. You can also earn from their Coinbase earn program which I’ve included in the earn section. - https://www.coinbase.com/

Coinberry – Unlike the exchanges above, Coinberry is a brokerage that goes out and finds the best price for you and then takes a small fee for doing so. This is generally the cheapest way to buy crypto. - https://www.coinberry.com/ - Check out my interview with Andrei Poliakov from Coinberry: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/interviewing-andrei-poliakov-from:f

 

Crypto Lending

This is my original review of Blockfi and Nexo but I will be making a more comprehensive review including Celsius soon: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/lending:5.

Blockfi – A crypto lending platform where you can lend various coins to earn interest on them at regular intervals. Medium interest rates, longest withdrawal times, and most restrictions & fees around KYC and withdrawals. KYC required. - https://blockfi.com/

Nexo - Another crypto lending platform where you can lend various coins to earn interest on them at regular intervals. Highest interest rates, involved in some scandals. KYC required. - https://platform.nexo.io/

Celsius Network - Another crypto lending platform where you can lend various coins to earn interest on them at regular intervals. Faster withdrawals, lower interest rates. KYC required. - https://celsius.network/

 

Crypto Real Estate

Republic.co - Invest as little as $10 in private startups and earn a return if the startup succeeds. This also includes real estate. - https://republic.co/

RealT - For the first time, investors around the globe can buy into the US real estate market through fully-compliant, fractional, tokenized ownership. Powered by blockchain. Buy a token, hold it, and earn daily. - https://realt.co/ - I report on my earnings from RealT every month in my dividend updates and I covered it in this video here on passive income: https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/passive:c.

 

Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Related Resources

Here’s a video breaking down the basics for NFTs - https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/What-Are-NFTs-Fungible-and-NonFungible-Tokens:1
