Investing in Crypto is Easy.

Here are some simple tips to get started even with $1.

We've made it too complicated and it's really not.

Is crypto toast? How do we really attract mass adoption if we are encouraged to farm and do a bunch of random useless transactions to get points to try to get the next airdrop?

I can see why a project like Hyperliquid is doing well, and even Tron because of the stablecoin transfers, but I am exhausted from the "do many transactions" model. I have a couple of crypto devices that aren't very good and all the buzz is about keeping your score high to be ranked. There has to be another way.

@jussy_world Not good right now. Everything doesn't need to be on chain.

⚠️ ALERT: Wrench attacks on crypto holders are rising and growing more violent, especially in Europe and Asia.

A wrench attack is when criminals use physical threats or force to steal crypto.

Reduce risk by staying private, avoiding wallet bragging, and using multisig or custody solutions.

A CNN investigation shows how scammers are using crypto ATMs to target Americans

This is a scamming issue, not a Bitcoin issue. However, I will say, the fees that are legitimately charged by these ATMs ae vey high. But so is the case if you use an ATM thatis not your banks. You pay multiple fees to transact.

Blame Bitcoin right? Blame crypto right? Blame Circle K and Bitcoin Depot? Or how about rightly place blame on a scammer?

You know this happens at bank ATM locations too. Thieves are just using a different method to do the same thing, but we shouldn't paint a picture that Bitcoin or Bitcoin Depot is scamming people.

The crypto space needs to separate tech talk and business talk. Google is a tech company, but the average user of the search engine and YouTube only interacts and cares about the UX and UI. Yet, crypto-based projects will spend most of their time and marketing towards explaining to a potential user and company about the benefits of blockchain rather than how the project benefits their bottom line. Most people hire personal trainers for the end result, not to learn human biochemistry.

Web 3's biggest problem is that in many cases there isn't a strong enough case not to use a traditional system. Yes in banking and DeFi, it's very apparent, but some projects are doing the Web2 thing, except it's decentralized. Too many projects projecting blockchain and decentralization to retail and businesses who could care less about it. Is the project good, does it work, is it frictionless, and do I need to go through all these self-custody and wallet setup hoops to use it.

[Metarize | Financial Education @getmetarized]

There is so much going on in crypto and it can get exciting, however, at times there's a bunch of activity for what? These incentivized campaigns with points are good for engagement, but if it's the only thing attracting us to projects with the hope of an airdrop, it makes you question what some of us are really here for. Take away airdrops and so many projects die.

[Metarize | Financial Education @getmetarized]

Too much crap doing the same things, saying the same things, every chain is faster than the last, and there's a new L2 every other day. Nobody understands crypto but crypto folks. Too much tech talk. The normal 9-5 person doesn't care and thinks all we crypto folks do is scam and gamble... It doesn't help that there are a bunch of scams and gamblers.

A school employee got caught secretly mining bitcoin in a crawl space under a Massachusetts high school, using the school’s electricity. Police found coolers filled with computers and estimate they used about $17,500 in power before it was unplugged.

This does a couple of things. Help people struggling with hyperinflation and drives the use of the US dollar. It's amazing that so many are still calling crypto and blockchain a scam

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

🚨JUST IN: Western Union to launch a crypto card preloaded with USD stablecoins.

The card will allow users to store money in stablecoins, keeping their savings’ value even if local currency drops from inflation.

[ChartSage @CryptoChartSage]

@coinbureau First they fight you, then they launch a stablecoin card.
