What Is the Ideal Strategy for Investing in Cryptocurrencies?
When the value of most cryptocurrencies falls, there is always a feeling that investors are suffering losses all around. For example, Autonomous Research reports that most funds that constituted cryptocurrency portfolios lost an average of 50 percent this year. Firstly, this is not so bad, as on average, the drop in the cost of crypto coins since the beginning of the year to the current moment was 65 percent. Secondly, the very study of profitability from investing in assets at such a time distance looks wrong and this is not only the opinion of the hodlers, but simply a fact that is confirmed by statistics. Pantera Capital's portfolio of cryptocurrency loans yielded 10,136 percent over five years.

Taxation of Cryptocurrencies: Myths and Reality
Human nature is characterized by a reluctance to share what has been earned, and few get pleasure in filling out tax returns and giving part of the income to the state. It is even truer if the income to the budget is from cryptocurrencies, which are still outside the legal framework. It is naive to believe that the aspirations of state structures to legalize cryptocurrencies are inspired solely by concern for the safety of crypto investors. The possibility of obtaining additional income from citizens carrying out operational activities with cryptocurrencies is one of the main goals of financial regulators.

Forks and Lawsuits: The Classical Crypto Fate Befalls Siacoin
In January, Bitmain introduced the ASIC miner for Siacoin "without warning.” "ASICs and increased hashrate are good for the Sia network. We previously wrote a blog post detailing the benefits of ASICs. In short, ASIC mining means that Sia is protected from 51 percent attacks—even if mining is relatively centralized among a small number of pools and manufacturers," wrote Sia vice president of operations Zach Herbert on Medium, noting that Sia was worried not by the appearance of ASIC itself but by the invasion of Bitmain, followed by a sheath of monopolization, interference in development, and attempts to influence projects to benefit their own interests. "We consider Bitmain a bad actor in the cryptocurrency space," Herbert wrote.
