CBDC debate

probs why the market tanked

https://www.reuters.com/business/fed-lays-out-risks-benefits-cbdc-paper-takes-no-policy-stance-2022-01-20/

I expect the whales to start buying here @ 38k from the last update ^

to be clear, the Fed is just accepting feedback until May 20th and currently has no stance

https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/fed-takes-key-step-in-deciding-on-us-digitalcoin-issuance-2744134#

just finished watching this interview and it gives clarity on the macro perspectives of things

i'd say p beginner friendly as well so worth a watch in your free time (~1 hour of downloading knowledge)

points covered:
bond markets
inflation
Fed's perspectives
signaling and forward guidance
how to manage your portfolio
future of crypto

enjoy!

scooped up some $DPX and $rDPX in the dip

doing single side staking here as well

DopEx is a decentralized options exchange

site: https://www.dopex.io/

this is a gigabrain project so you have to really read to understand the papers and mechanisms

i'd say i'm only 80% clear on this proj but definitely worth some exposure imo

some links on DopEx:
Dopexpedia
Dopex Academy

if you followed into RBN before the pump then you'll see some similarities with DPX as they are both derivative protocols

it's a growing space to look out for

I won't be buying dips and will just be holding what I currently have (long term bags please continue to dca)

will only be buying dips in DPX,rDPX, and METIS

consider staking some stables here for 100+% APR while it lasts

a vampire attack on veDAO that I shared before

if you're greatly affected by this crash

let this be a learning lesson especially if you're new to crypto

mentioned many many times before that unrealised profits =/= profits

always remember to take some profits/initial capital out or trim simply because of the volatility in crypto (except long term bags of course)

some would liken btc to high beta tech stocks and alts to high beta btc which works too —> crypto moves fast

also, never invest money that you can't afford to lose (don't ape your bank)

whether it's a bear market from here on out or not, I'm sure you'll come back stronger (and more wealthy)
_____

keep the faith and dca on your high conviction bets in the bear market

crypto is definitely here to stay

"bull markets make people rich, bear markets make people wealthy"

hope you guys are well 🙂

I've also received some enquiries on joining trade pals this month

I took the bot down as I wasn't accepting new members for January, but I will open trade pals again coming Feb

some important updates to trade pals:
I'll still be trading on cex but probably not as often as I used to (old-timers would know) and it'll be swing trades not scalps

so if you want signals everyday and stuff then I'm sorry trade pals might not be the best place for you because it's just me sharing my trades and knowledge and NOT a signal group

I'll be venturing more into the DeFi space for several reasons:
1. bigger gains
2. more passive (i love it when my money works for me)
3. money to be made bull/bear
4. my work will be more focused on DeFi

I'll still gladly coach and advise on trading because that is one of the reasons I started trade pals so if you're keen on learning TA etc. then feel free to join

the members have learned quite a bit and some are improving well trading themselves now as well

and yes, on point 4 I'm now interning at delphidigital.io and super stoked to learn from the gigabrains and download alpha 🙏🏼

fees will be adjusted and will still be affordable as usual, but I've yet to fix a price so stay tuned for the update if you're keen
