DEFI

Crypto - UPtober or HACKtober 🤔Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Daytime job - Math Teacher. 👩🏫 October is notorious for upward price action on Bitcoin, earning the title UPtober about two years ago. However, a new trend has begun - HACKtober. During this year, we see an increase number of hacking across the months but October has been the month with the most hacks and the most liquidity stolen. After 4 hacks within the last 48 hours, October is now the month with the biggest hacking statistically, and there is another 15 days to go. According to Chainanalysis, $718 million is accounted for to be stolen from DeFi protocols across 11 different hacks. At this rate, 2022 will surpass 2021 as the biggest year for hacking on record. So far this year, over $3 Billion accounted for has been hacked across 125 hacks. During 2019, most hackers targeted exchanges. Now, the biggest targets are DeFi protocols. Cross-chain bridges remain a major target, with 3 breached tis month accounting for 82% of all losses this month and 64% of all losses this year. Let's discuss a few ways to minimize your risk when investing in this wild west market: 🖐 - Research the team. Perhaps the single most important success factor for any ICO or cryptocurrency is the developers and administrative team behind the project. The cryptocurrency space is dominated by major names, with superstar developers like Ethereum ETHUSDT founder Vitalik Buterin capable of making or breaking new projects simply by having their names listed on a development team. For that reason, it's increasingly common for scammers to invent fake founders and biographies for their projects. 🖐 - Check the whitepaper. The whitepaper should lay out the background, goals, strategy, concerns, and timeline for implementation for any blockchain-related project. Whitepapers can be incredibly revealing: companies that have a flashy website may reveal they lack a fundamentally sound concept. On the other hand, a company with a website containing spelling errors may have a whitepaper that indicates a rock-solid concept and a carefully conceived implementation plan. 🖐 - It it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The idea of getting rich quick on an investment in a hot new project sure is tempting. Keep an eye out as you look for new investment opportunities in the ICO and cryptocurrency spaces. Remember that projects sounding too good to be true , likely are. Spend time scrutinizing every detail, and assume that the absence of a piece of crucial information may be an attempt to hide an unsound model or concept. Look for outside sources to verify the legitimacy of any project before making an investment. Ask questions that you can't already find the answers to. 💭 Whilst I remain bullish on Crypto, the above does reveal a worrisome trend for decentralized finance. Like this, DeFi still has a long way to go in terms of security. Hopefully the SEC case against Ripple will provide more clarity in terms of regulations and responsibility going ahead. _______________________ 📢Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 💎Hit like & Follow 👍 We thank you for your support !

Solana: Great Time to Start a Long Term PositionA quick look on $SOL because I've seen a few people saying it "completed the bubble chart pattern and now it's safe to expect another bullrun!". It DOES look like a nice bubble and crash but in my opinion it's gonna take a while before we will see a proper bullish move. Solana is in a great position to start building a long term 💰 but don't have unrealistic expectations. White area is the range now, grey area is great for buying but breaking out of the purple zone is gonna be hard work💪🚀

REN looks good Ren 2.0 will be the network that powers Ren ecosystem growth throughout this exciting new chapter we’re about to embark on. Its primary advancements will be decentralization and security, supporting generic application logic on top of Ren, an improved MPC algorithm that’s more scalable and able to support more signing schemes, and optimized tokenomics to further align incentives for ecosystem participants. These are extensive upgrades to our core technology. Hence, they will be deployed to a new network. REN2.0 comes out early next year and DAPPS like Catalog are bringing real value to REN and its transition to a L0 (layer 0) currently 124 million market cap with lots of room to grow, lets see if it can breakout against ETH and in USD. Im currently long and built a big bag around 10-11 cents so I will be patient on this playing out. NFA

#MKR Inverse Head and Shoulders. Target = $975#DEFI protocol looks to be triggering right now! Weekend #Crypto PUMP? #Bitcoin still poses risks to holders and we are still not out of the woods, a mini run to $20500 seems likely but we must at some point hold on to the key psychological level of 20k and start making firm progress as these high@s getting lower on the medium time frame is pushing us into a decision point Apex. Will crypto finally decouple in these rapidly changing macro environment. We know the end of the crypto bear is close , but also we need to take advantage of opportunities that prevent itself.

AAVE Maria, Elliott and algo analysis. The waves are looking pretty clear here, MO. But, 82$ is the AOI im watching at the moment. It has played as a resistance and more recently a support. If price decides to move back up to this level I will be watching how it retraces there. If it prints rising PA and falling volume I will be looking for an entry, conversely a break above by a dilly and a retrace to the level would consider a long personally. If this has been inspiring/helpful, please consider a boost and follow and check out the links in the signature. Cheers!

September 20 BTCUSD BingX Chart Analysis and Today's HeadlineBingX’s Bitcoin Chart According to CoinShare, digital asset investment products saw inflows totalling US$7m last week, another low activity week. Bitcoin price is almost flat over the last 24 hours. The largest cryptocurrency has been trading between $18,225 – $19,689.00, indicating the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate hike has put pressure on Bitcoin. In the near future, cryptocurrency markets are likely to remain volatile because of the uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s rate hike on Sept. 20 and 21. As of now, the CME FedWatch Tool suggests that the majority favors a 75 basis point rate hike. If this happens, Bitcoin price could rise above $20,000. Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline Coin98 Labs Launches Decentralized Stablecoin CUSD Coin98 Labs has announced the launch of its ecosystem’s decentralized stablecoin, Coin98 Dollar (CUSD), fully collateralized by reserve assets. In order to convert to 1 CUSD, a total of $1 worth of the collateralized assets must be sent into the CUSD Reserve smart contract. According to Coin98 Labs, the stablecoin aims to become a cross-chain unit of account that fulfills the demand for cross-chain liquidity in DeFi, unleashing the power of the Coin98 ecosystem and supporting networks such as BNB Chain, Solana, and Ethereum. In the future, CUSD will be deployed on as many chains as possible.

#crvusdt CRV The trend is a changing. Get long#crvusdt Curve Finance is one of my favourite Defi coins. it looks like the big picture trend is changing from downtrend to uptrend. This is higher probability trading as the underlying platform is solid and the technical is lining up. If not for the red volume candles this would be a lock. But still definitely worth a shot. Target 1 is 1.8 but there is a lot more potential upside if we make that. Volume. red volume bars are dominating so make sure you set the stop. STO is low allowing sufficient upside to jump up. RSI is higher on the recent selling showing weakness in selling. Price 1.11 Stop 0.95 Target 1.8 (yes that is 60%)

Crypto101 - What is DeFi & Blockchain ?Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators📈📉 Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Whether you've just gotten into crypto trading or you're trying to expand your knowledge on what this space has to offer; this post is for you! Decentralized finance or DeFi, is a financial ecosystem based on blockchain technology. So lets recap, what Is a blockchain exactly? Blockchain is a software technology, it is basically computer coding that creates a usable service like an app or website for the public. Most blockchains are entirely open-source software. This means that anyone and everyone can view its code. The first-ever implementation of Blockchain was originally written in C++ (coding language). Blockchain and it's possible use cases was first introduced to the world in the Bitcoin Whitepaper, written by the infamous Satoshi Nakamoto (the pseudonym used by the creator or creators of BTC). A blockchain is an online database that is shared to many computer networks. This means that if one computer in the network fails, the data is unaffected and transactions carries on. It is not dependent on one single data storage facility. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. A blockchain collects information in groups, known as blocks, that holds many sets of information (like time of transactions, amounts etc.). Blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data known as the blockchain. An online database usually structures its data into tables, whereas a blockchain, as its name implies, structures its data into "3D chunks" (blocks) that link to each other. For easy reference and transparency, each block in the chain is given an exact timestamp when it is added to the chain. The revolutionary innovation idea behind blockchain is that it guarantees the truthfulness and security of data and generates trust without the need for a government/private institution to validate it. Back to DeFi - In centralized finance , your money is held by banks and corporations whose main goal is to make money . The financial system is full of third parties who facilitate money movement between parties, with each one charging fees for using their services. The idea behind DeFi was to create a system that cuts out these third parties, their fees and the time spent on all the interaction between them. Defi is a technology built on top of blockchain - it can be an app or a website for example, which means that is was written in code language by software programmers. It lets users buy and sell virtual assets (like crypto and NFT's) and use financial services as a form of investment or financing without middlemen/banks. This means you can borrow, lend and invest - but without a centralized banking institution. In summary, DeFi is a subcategory within the broader crypto space. DeFi offers many of the services of the mainstream financial world but controlled by the masses instead of a central entity. And instead of your information being filed on paper and stored by a banker, your information is captured digitally and stored in a block with your permission. Many of the initial DeFi applications were built on Ethereum (which is a blockchain technology, but the code is different to Bitcoin's, in other words it operates/works differently). The majority of money in DeFi remains concentrated there. Lending may have started it all, but DeFi applications now have many use cases, giving participants access to saving, investing, trading, market-making and more. A prime example of such a market is PancakeSwap (CAKEUSDT). PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange native to BNB Chain (Binance chain). In other words, it shares some similarities with established platforms like UniSwap in that users can swap their coins for other coins. The only difference is that PancakeSwap focuses on BEP20 tokens – a specific token standard developed by Binance . The BEP20 standard is essentially a checklist of functions new tokens must be able to perform in order to be compatible with the broader Binance ecosystem of dapps, wallets and other services. PancakeSwap uses liquidity pools instead of counterparties/orders from other traders. A liquidity pool in this context refers to funds deposited by investors – which can be anyone from around the world – into smart contracts for the aim of providing liquidity to traders. With this system, buyers do not have to wait to be matched with sellers, or vice versa. Whenever someone wants to trade one token for another, they simply deposit the token they have into the pool and withdraw the other token they wish to receive. That said, PancakeSwap is not just for swapping coins. You can also take up the role of a liquidity provider (that is, you can deposit tokens in a liquidity pool for the chance of earning a share of trading fees paid by those trading against the pool in question). Yield Farming is another income-generating opportunity available on PancakeSwap. With this, you can farm for a token called CAKE. So why would you want a token? Tokens are like the money video-game players earn while killing monsters, money they can use to buy gear or weapons. I personally love collecting my Glimmer in Destiny 2. But with blockchains, tokens aren't limited. They can be earned in one way and used in lots of other ways. They usually represent either ownership in something or access to some service. For example, in the Brave browser, ads can only be bought using basic attention token (BAT). I think I'll cover more on this in another post, otherwise this will become a too long read. Final Thoughts 💭 Even though banks are slow and inefficient (to name only a few of the problems), there is still something that comes with using a bank that crypto cannot (yet fully) offer - guarantees and peace of mind. At least at this point. I believe in a future where blockchain is easily accessible, open but at the same time protects user privacy, transparent, decentralized and safe. But the truth is, we're still far away from that. Blockchain is in its infancy, being used by too many opportunists and crooks. So be careful when you invest in DeFi. The beautiful dream of blockchain still contains too many scammers that have no intention of cutting out banks; instead they want to get to the bank FIRST. __________________________ 👀Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 📉 Hit like & Follow 🔔 We thank you for your support !
