A gentle reminder that if you're tilted towards bitc0in going on a rally and selected the coins you want to hold, it makes sense to stake them and earn rewards.

........

With staking, you're not fidgeting with your coyns and would always keep in mind how far it's extended from your buy price... So when moon folks start raving about the coyn at the top, you slowly just take profits.

These are screenshots of some rewards earned in some of my staked portfolio, one of these is less than a month in.
It's just common sense.

A lil update.... 80 bucks more in 10 days...
I'd like to round up this portfolio in the coming days and lock it up for the time being

If you've already prunned down what coyns you want to hold for this run or in the final stages of doing that, then tge next thing should be earning profits on those and going to sleep...

I continue to emphasize this cos it's one aspect of crypt0 that's largely underutilized.

For folks who want to stake and still trade actively, a way I do this is to split my portfolio size.... Stake or earn on a portion and trade the other.... The major advantage of staking is not just the profits but that one can monitor the market from a birds eye view and stops one from making rash decisions with every 15 minute move... Cashing out is easy when you trade less.


Anyway, as Avax continues to do well, if like me it forms part of your portfolio, then this is a reminder that Aave and other yeild platforms have deployed on Avax and one can make good profits on while waiting to cash out... Personally, I'm not in a hurry to cash out on Avax just yet... I don keep am for fridge till next yr....

For those who don't know, Aave is one of the most robust defi platforms out there with almost 20 billion usd in assets. Currently the yield on Avax is 13% apr on Aave and 23% on Beefy... Also, on Aave, you can borrow against your asset while still earning interest on it.... It comes up to almost negative rates....i.e you're paid to borrow.... I haven't done this yet and I'd advise folks not to except you know what you're doing... Moreso I wouldn't borrow stable coyns against my crypt0 to further invest in crypt0... Thats very risky... equivalent to leverage trading....


P.s... This is not telling folks not yet in position to cahse Avax. I'm done buying Avax and Dot for this run.... There are other stuff I'm looking to add up on if a dip comes

.....

Finally, besides being for or against capital punishment (lets leave that to one side for the moment) can you suggest what will "certainly" change the behaviour of Nigerians and Nigeria for the better that has not be tried in the past? remembering of course that all those that have been tried in the past have failed.

Hehe.... Take it easy.... I know say u dey vex

In a multicultural society like Nigeria, one does need tact to solve some issues.... The same corruption bedeviling the current system will not disappear overnight. Kidnapping, terrorism, armed robbery e.t.c carry a death penalty.... How much has it helped....

Bottom line is that folks in the right position need to start making the right macroeconomic decisions.....

Donbrig:
@jedisco, you are indeed brilliant and a very deep thinker. God bless you with more wisdom and knowledge.

Gracias

Mazinewmoney:
Jedisco can you help me Analyze this S.L.P

That coin wan send me go Village. Say something about it please

If I was in it, I'd hold... Looks to be forming a floor... Doesn't make sense selling at this price point

Another reason not to buy a coyn without looking at the weekly chart

I started this thread after the last selloff so we could share ideas and learn to ride the most bullish asset class in recent memory.

I'd say this at this stage of the market where it seems more likely bitc0in will rally further in the coming months (hopefully after a dip).

At this stage of the market, sensible folks should have outlined their strategy, know what coyns they want to form the bulk of their portfolio watch from a birds eye view.... I stated a few weeks back that most coyns would likely put in at least 3x from current market valuations before this cycle tops.... That should serve as a guide


If you've been on this thread all this while and you don't have a strategy for the next phase then you're very likely going to lose most of your portfolio when the time comes

Ibeme:
@ Jedisco, nna777, priceaction

With the way Shib has been holding that 50 level, do you think it's worth a bag?

It's still within the triangle I highlighted earlier... Either the pattern resolves or it morphs into something else.

I'm not so bothered about shib.

It's very likely it'd do another x5 from current valuations in the coming months as bitc0in is set to continue its rally. That said, if shib goes on a rally from here, it'd surpass the market cap of doge which has been consolidating for a while... I'd lean towards doge moving first before shib. Shib selloff also coincided with hitting the market cap of doge

GabrielYulaw:
Hi Jedisco! Aren't you and the Sailor guy the same person?

It's quite obvious I think

ElixExo:
Tbh I'm peeved about the whole development process, but the rollout plan is actually quite solid, eNaira would be great for getting dollars out of the hands of the black market. Nigerian expat boomers would eat this shit up, it's a safe and direct way to send USD from a domicilary account to someone in Nigeria without added costs.

I just wish they'd rollout the actual blockchain sooner, their lead developer said they've been working on an app that doesn't require a bank account, that should be the REAL app, with that you can expect sending and receiving from MOMO accounts since MTN is getting complete approval soon.

But even with that eNaira won't see mass adoption, since the government can just freeze your account on suspicion of money laundering or trading crypt0.

Money is like water.... It follows the least path of resistance.

A while back, CBN blocked all remittance companies abroad and made remittances go through a strenuous process. End result was that remittances dropped to record lows. Folks resorted to using crypt0 either directly or indirectly. Some of the foreign remittance companies ditched the CBN regulation and continued with their previous straightforward remittance simply because they couldn't lose income from Nigerians who formed a bulk of their base.

The process of remittance used to be straightforward for most Nigerians in diaspora. Simply put, a person sets up an online account with the company, pay into a designated account and within minutes the sum is reflected in ones Nigerian account using market rates.

If the new process by the CBN isn't easier or at least equivalent, it'd fail. Simply because money follows the path of least resistance

All said, as currently implemented, how would someone in diaspora remit funds using enaira?

ositadima1:
I created the wallet account, never loaded it. It looks like more work need to be done.

Aside early teething issues, the app is slick amd does work. It's still bare bones at this stage....
But if they intend to keep it this way, it'd definitely not deliver on anything they promised....

As of now, it's just another payment gateway. Kuda and others are much easier to use than enaira wallet...

Kuda is really slick and easy to use. Folks would naturally get more needs comfortable using it as time goes on. They could move forward and start offering some safe investment options e.g TB's or bonds inside the app. Right now, they have a savings tab with reasonable rates

skydiver01:
I absolutely agree with your first three paragraphs but not the fourth (bolded). Nigeria can build its human capital by redirecting stolen/pilferaged funds from education, health and infrastructure (roads, electricity etc) annual national budgets. Integration with foreign nationals has been among us in Nigeria since and before independence and Nigerians have by and large chosen a path of pilferage and corruption simply because of greed. This has also continued to increase the poverty rate of the masses over the last four or five decades.
....

You've raised some points...
I agree, alot can be done to cut corruption and channel it towards education so as to build capacity. That said, there should be a means of retaining some of the bright heads too or bringing them back after they've relocated as it takes years to build such capacity. Take a doctor or nurse for example. You're not going to replace them overnight... Even developed nations find it easier and cheaper to raid developing nations to fill up such roles than build capacity to train their citizens from scratch.

OTOH, I don't agree with capital punishment or excessive highhandedness for minor crimes. There are modern and reliable ways to deter people from social vices. Fines and even prison sentences do more in turning the society around than death sentences.
Making traffic offenders pay fines and go through a retraining process or suspend their license will be more cheaper and effective than severe punishment.
You wouldn't want to live in a country that kills folks for skipping traffic lights.. If Nigeria legally kills her citizens for such, then that'd further degrade us in the eyes of the world.

ositadima1:
On a serious note, these headlines though:

"e-Naira offers cheaper, fast remittance option, says CBN" - Punch Newspaper

"eNaira would boost diaspora remittance flows – CBN" - Nairametrics

And a few others. Now, how is this so? I am not saying e-Naira has no potential, but how is it going to boost remittances?

So far, it just looks to be another payment gateway which it doesn't excell at.

What I don't like is having to input the wallet login details into a third-party banking app to top up... That in itself is a security flaw waiting to be breached.

It's still early days but if the current wallet is their vision of what a cbdc should be, then the CBN is more deluded than I thought. They should have just kept calm and let other nations issue theirs so they copy...

The next wave of colonialism if allowed would not be fuelled by the pursuit of natural resource but the pursuit of human resource from developing nations who can blend into the middle class of developed nations

Take Canada for example, only Nigerians of a set calibre can fit their criteria. These are usually upper middle class Nigerians. When they emigrate, they have to act well and be on the right side of the law for some years before full documents are given. Also, for most nations, one can't access public aid for those years, most folks would have to work, pay taxes and most times get some educational qualifications. The whole process is like a life school built in a way that they get the best who can pay their dues initially. This is why most folks who emigrate there legally are usually doing well for themselves in 5-10 years...


The downside for the poorer nations is the fact they nations don't develop by losing their best heads- except they have a way of bringing them back later on which Nigeria currently lacks. Saving grace is that these folks remit forex back home which has been what has sustained the naira in recent years...


Although it's not always black and white, I side more with this being a form of colonialism. Nigeria can barely build her human capital, whereas, richer nations come and seive the best.... This can be only turned around by having some form of reintegration.

LordAdam16:
Interestingly, this offshoring and H1B1 visa onshoring causes a substantial downward pressure on wages that essentially stops it from spiking. Also, it enables these economies to tap top talent regardless of location at the detriment of less developed economies. Further perpetuating a hierarchical global economic system where the rich countries have a monopoly on high-value products and services; middle-income countries thrive on labor-intensive, environmentally-unfriendly products of low- to- average economic value (what development economists call the middle-income trap); and poor countries have to forever rely on aid to balance budgets.

I like this!

I used to think that Western nations with lax migration rules were helping folks from less developed nations. Not anymore. I've come to see that those nations benefit more from migration than the migrants themselves who are emigrating.

The birth rate in most Western nations has been on a rapid decline well into unsustainable levels. With more people getting older and hence relying on public funds rather than paying taxes, they know that to sustain a vibrant economy, they need to fill up those numbers and do so quickly hence they go shopping from other nations. It's much more difficult to raid fello developed nations hence they turn to poorer ones. But then, the catch is that they want to get the best heads from those nations not just anyone. This is how their migration policies are crafted- not just a lottery.
This to me was the centre of Brexit... Not that Brits didnt necessarily want foreign folks, but they wanted to have that control. Even China has very much relaxed its one child policy and now aiming for three.

BuisnessThrills:
u can check OLT, the coin has potentials and it's solving a major problem in the eco system and above all the price is still really low

I don't think 'low price' is a reason to get into a coyn. If by low price you mean market cap, the question now becomes if the market cap is low because it's a new gem which will rise or because it's practically of no use.


BTW, what problem is olt solving in the ecosystem?

Sailor1:
Chz did retrace, and I got an entry... Sadly, the size of my entry wasn't as much as I'd have liked...
Reason why I like getting an exposure before the first move and then add-on on successful retest after the breakout...

I'm quite bullish on chiliz for certain reasons...

1. Most fan tokens are built on it.... It's like the eitherum for fan tokens. Fan tokens go with the hype and will pump when their time comes. Chz showing strength is a good sign.
2. As we've seen in the past, it usually has strong pumps. Also its market cap is in a range where such moves can continue.
3. It's current move has gone largely under the radar. I like silent archivers.

4. Being that most fan tokens are built on it, as we've seen, one could get the opportunity to get free fan tokens by staking it... Currently staking it to earn man city fan token...


The entrance of English premier League clubs now venturing into the fan token space, could be what sport tokens need to kick-start another rally

As the market trends and coyns start having huge rallies, one may be tempted to jump-in but it's always good to exercise caution and zoom out.

For large cap coyns, I usually wait for them at the weekly...

For certain midcaps and meme coyns that have had only an initial leg of a pump, the daily support can also good spot.... Case in point is mana and chz

BrokerHaruna:
#XEC ecash, the future of digital kurrency. Keep watch

You've said this on multiple occasions... Lemme ask...why do you think this is the case?
What makes ecash different from hundreds of others?

Nice daily close on shib to regain the daily support... Also a double bottom....

Overall, it's still in a steep downtrend..... Resolution is getting close... Time to pay attention perhaps

Jedisco, these are the type of shïtcoins you can go to sleep on, but check once daily and sell if they have had a run - 3x and above

Gracias... Coyns don choke market

Had a look at them... They're meta or gamefi based... Seems that's the new rave...

Na valk I wan buy.... The thing don pump go.... I go dey look again tomorrow...

eche45:
Snr ur take on this kadena(KDA)
Is it worth holding?

Not much my brother...

I know it's been pumping recently which its why its been popular...
If not already in position, I let the hype cool down b4 reviewing pumped coyns

EmmanuelScott1:
So we should still be expecting that dump, if LTC reaches 300 right

Hehe...
Past result is not assurance of what'd happen in the future...

Anyway, if I'm in ltc, 300-325 is a sensible place to take profit. It's a dino coyn that moves in steps

nonut:
So, this is the dump before the DUMP?
Mogbe!

Just observing past trends...
All said, the market doesn't move in a straight line.
Crypt0 is inherently volatile... mostly, I find it better to let the market be than trying to time every move

EarlyCareer:
Great perspective.

Again, as much as I agree with you, jedisco, the focus is on the USA. Your comment, while being true, is a blanket statement.

Things are very different when compared with other developed nations. All you mentioned here is well obtained in Europe, Australia, and other good developed nations. My preference for Europe is because people have much better work life balance and living standards regardless of justified high taxes and other challenges too. Of course, nothing is free, the high tax is the price to pay.

Edit: on second thought, even a banker living in Ibadan has access to cheaper food prices more than a banker earning the same wages living in Lagos. If you could share a link to where you got that food price comparison, then maybe I'd believe that statistics you mentioned.

I wasn't into comparing the US to Western Europe and frankly I'm not holding forte for any...... In most of my writings, I clump them up together as 'the West'. If I may, I'd say each group have their pros and cons with none being perfect. The US is more capitalist and Europe has a good socialist sprinkle. I'd say, for folks well qualified in good paying jobs, the US generally gives higher financial returns with less taxes comparatively. Western Europe OTHO has a better social safety net for those struggling. I do not include tax havens for obvious reasons. There's a reason why most of the wealthiest folks/largest corps are in the US. While Nigerians migrating could look into what place is more suitable, fact is very few have the liberty of multiple options as other dynamics are involved.

On food, it's quite clear. Affordability and being expensive/cheap is not just a function of surface price. Nothing tells how 'cheap' food is in a nation or state as the percentage of their population (moreso children) struggling or dying from hunger or malnutrition

I like the sound of man city token... Hence I staked my chz to earn it.....apr of 11% isnt bad either.. I'd look into it after the initial post listing dump


With a number of football club tokens being released, I expect chz would show strength in the coming weeks

For those asking, this is not the ltc dump I was referring to.

It usually occurs 1-2 weeks after an ltc pump..

And as seen, ltc has a habit of going back to retest previous support which usually correlates with these dumps...

So what would confirm bias would be a strong weekly finish on ltc l(likely at 300) and a pullback in the coming week to retest 200-220

Usually, when bitc0in dumps and I want to gain entry for a quick swing, I look for coyns that have made a strong bounce.... So far, I see hnt, hbar, and sol.

All said, bitc0in will usually return to clear the lows of the initial dump in the coming days to weeks.... Hence giving another entry

Ibime:
Oga Jedisco, which coins are on weekly support?

Haven't really scanned around.... I know ada was on it, but didn't add much as I was ok with my size... Xrp also...

I'm trying to get entries on coyns I've been looking to get into for a while

One good example was a while back when someone was arguing that food is much cheaper in Nigeria than the West simply because he was looking at a direct exchange conversion. It was after breaking details down I explained that food is at least 3-5 times relatively more expensive in Nigeria than the West.

When I see some news on front page and how its glossed over, I sit down and think.... Just imagine that 250 kids went to school in the UK/US and did not return cos they were kidnapped.... The president would sure fly in, numerous enquiries would take place, lots of people would lose their jobs, even our own president will 'stand with them' and send consolatory messages. Yet it's become a frequent occurrence in Nigeria.

Another is the complaint about taxes here. Another thing folks fail to see is that Western nations need their citizens to work and pay tax or else, the government would have to pay them benefits. That means that no matter the legal job folks there are doing, the minimum wage is structured so that one can live a sensible life off it. Same also, no matter how high the taxes there seem to be, they are structured in such a way that it should makes sense to work and pay. On the other hand, in Nigeria, you need to work to live.
That's why I find it odd when folks here keep talking about high taxes in the West... If it was so straightforward, folks there would be rushing to live here so they don't pay tax.

I can go on and on.... Fact is it all boils down to perception.... Dangote saying he's broke is quite different from Fashola being broke and also different from the akara lady being broke.... Not everyone will prosper if they migrate but a good chunk will be able to eck out a more sensible life in the West if they put in same effort they put here in Nigeria


P.s. this has nothing to do with financial instruments

Alot of sarcasm has been shared over the last two pages...

Some comparisons can be like apples and oranges if not put into perspective. Every nation has its challenges and of course, there is no free lunch anywhere. But then, opportunities differ. Some of our perceptions are worsened by those who feel western nations are without challenges or by those back home who feel relatives in diaspora are plucking money from trees.

Problems can be relative. When citizens in Western nations complain about certain things e.g security, education, job.. among themselves, it's worth asking them what they feel about same situations in African nations... You'd be surprised at how they see us.
Like the post from Reddit subgroup, ask those folks what they think about migrating to Nigeria and see their response.

To me, it all boils down to the pyramid of need... It's not just individuals that be be graphed on it but also nations.... What a nations in one group mean by poor work conditions is usually very different from what nations in another group mean

Please recommend for me, or mentor me .. I’m a fast learner which is what is frustrating me that I’m not getting the right resources to study with.

There are lots of resources you can look out for online.. YouTube e.t.c.

I did start a thread focused on the bigger moves in crypt0 and also share some resources I find useful

DieRich5:
bad..........if ltc pump mean the market is going for a down travel

Lets see if this time is different
