#while still rewarding interesting and smart strategies

[soups-archive]

Thoughts on Purgatory Day 4:

God what a fun day, and yet funnily enough a much more relaxed one.

It's gonna be interesting to see what the ramifications of blue's logout strat are gonna be because it's definitely going to be banned, but, from my understanding, blue used this strat to prove a point: that red's strategy was unfair.

Which is true, or at least I think it was true.

Personally, I feel like it was mostly unfair due to how difficult it used to be to get to global, but I feel like the admins have pretty fairly counteracted that and balanced things with today's introduction of the spawn portals.

Because with red's strat players HAD to physically travel to global and turn in the contracts within at least the last 30 minutes of gameplay. The portals now easily allow other teams to show up and at least put up a good fight, and we actually got to see how effective they are today with cellbit and charlie's assist they pulled for roier. If they had been just slightly quicker, green might've been able to steal back the win.

Which I think brings me to the other potentially unfair part of red's strat that I've seen be brought up which is that it isn't fair for streamers in European timezones/streamers who play earlier. Which is a fair criticism, but honestly I haven't personally been able to think of a way for the admins to balance the contracts around that without either: A) completely changing how contracts work, or B) unfairly punishing later streamers.

I think it's complicated, and I feel like the main thing that's gonna result from today isn't going to be them banning turning in tasks late but instead banning logging out right in front of the global NPCs. Knowing the admins, they'll probably figure out something I hadn't thought of and make the whole thing more fair for everyone.

Competition and lore wise, tomorrow is gonna be really interesting as well. A small alliance might be blooming between red and green and that might have massive ramifications going forward. That and I think (???????) that players might be getting their eggs tomorrow (?????). I know they described a period in which they had to keep them alive and the actual event ends on the 10th so I'm guessing they're arriving tomorrow. If they are, that shit is going to be crazy.

(Side note: It was also a delight to see teams casually hanging out more together today. As much as I enjoy the competition, I missed them all just chilling)

Overall, congrats blue on the win! Cheesy as fuck and they knew it but it was absolutely deserved! They worked their asses off! And green put up a hell of a fight! I hope they get their chance to win as well tomorrow!

#qsmp #soup speaks #it could be perceived that way but this really isnt meant to be a discourse post #i just like thinking about strategy and gameplay balancing lol #this event has been so delightful for me i love disecting possible tactics and ways the admins can make things more fair #while still rewarding interesting and smart strategies #because red's strategy WAS smart #and with the addition of the portals its a lot more fair and opens up opportunities for some sick ass skirmishes over global tasks #i think it also opens up a lot of opportunities for teams to get creative #because all the teams DO have streamers who log in later #even if theyre not their pvp heavy ones #off the top of my head blue has tina missa and rivers #and green has bagi quackity and roier #and not all of those people are the best at pvp but thats where creativity and strategy come in #id love to see blue team come running in with a bunch of explosives or poisoned arrows or other ranged attack methods #to try and stop red team or green team without getting too close contact #like AHHH!!!! i wanna see teams get really creative with this!!! i love fun strategies!!!! #theres so much fun bullshit you can do in this scenario #like god i could sing red's praises so much theyre so tactical and think so strategically its fucking awesome #their cave base made specifically so that it would be less detectable using cave layers? and convincing people they still live at spawn? #delightful #and shoutout blue team for the way they've let people play to their strengths #they caught on to so many good strats early on like moving their base off island and tea being the best food source #and god the way green really came back together today was such a delight to watch #i hadn't caught much of their pov prior to today but i tuned in while they were grinding to fight blue and it was so much fun #i hope them and red actually commit to the little alliance they've formed and try to secure green the win tomorrow #god this event spawns such shit discourse but also im so delighted by it #sorry for the fucking essay in the tags i just have so much to gush about this event kudos to the admins this is sick #qsmp purgatory #really putting the blog back in tumblr blog with this one huh

An intimate lunch

Coming back to this particular C pic, which has sparkled endless comments, today (still very busy days for me & I gave in and binged TCND - this explains the ungodly hour):

Dots have been connected (there are, after all, alternative Keepers of the Dots, a sobriquet I am therefore relinquishing, thanking again the friend who gifted it to me). And comments -ranging from stan blindness to unreasonable conspiracy theories - have been written too.

Tellingly enough, the wording of the Finch and Partners IG post was quite suggesting: 'an intimate lunch' means more than promo, almost a personal get together with, at the very least, carefully selected people.

Was she coat-tailing? Very probably, to the extent she is understandably interested in getting more acting (directing?) projects after OL. And to make it clear: there is nothing bad to it.

Did she know Cooper before? There is no way in hell to confirm it with 100% accuracy, but my guess is no. Someone, as it has been pointed out, obliged. These are the simple, expected minimum benefits of a PR agent, a Rolodex and of networking. And it is true: she has been consistently on Finch's list and invited at many of their events since at least 2016. Which is to say, since IFH? Oh. OK. No further questions, Your Honor.

Was it a reward for dragging along McIdiot at that Netflix gala, the day before? Even taking into account her visible lack of enthusiasm, I am afraid things are not as simple and mechanic as alternatively dangling the proverbial carrot and stick. It's a quid pro quo, not a reward. A part in a movie would be a reward - not a lunch in town: that would be selling herself very cheaply.

But of course, we are all idiots, as this reaction from a particularly ungifted Mordor pundit would like us to think:

This post is not about S, of course. And the posited question is a superb logical fallacy: S is 'never invited to any of these events', because his side projects are different and his social media communication strategy is different, too. She was not there because of S and no one on this side of the fandom seriously suggested it.

Also, let's not show more idiocy than you are naturally able of, denizens of Mordor: Cooper did not really need her 1 (one) Academy Awards vote. And do you know why? Well, her vote would not make any serious difference among the 7,999 others, this is why:

Yes, the Britannica: I know it pisses you, and many other people, mightily off.

But perhaps she was there also because of this?

Enlighten me, please, since I am such a forgetful idiot, what on Earth might have happened to The Cut? You know, the project she was shooting just before the SAG-AFTRA strike began?

Crickets. And, which is more alarming...

If proven correct, this IMDb info is not very good news and I would be bereft for her. Honestly. Check the link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26697087/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm. It lists the entire crew, up to the last best boy. Whatever happened to C's part? Whatever happened to C? The movie is now announced in post-production. Surely we'll know very soon, one way or another. But if her part has been slashed out, it's only normal to be more active and scout any possible project opportunity.

Ultimately, the core problem remains unchanged: since she did not post this picture on her socials, she is still as uninterested in them as she's always been. Always. And sorry for repeating myself, but spare some scarce mention about make-up and attire (presumably to be nice to personal friends), she does not engage with this fandom. At all. That does not leave her stans with many options but to write their own fanfic, while accusing us (who may know a bit more than them, at any rate) of doing the same.

Smart girl, C. I am sure S&C divided their respective roles in the 'Coping with the Narrative' in-house production for a very long time and this is the most important thing of them all. The rest is babble, including this post.

[lavender-temult]

my timeline for otohana has always been loosely “1) they meet and become friends in gelvaan, 2) ????, 3) profit”, but I have thought about it some more and please consider: Otohan and Relvin are friends first. (headcanon rambling under the cut)

They meet when they’re young, Otohan not even a general yet, but she’s ambitious and little Relvin, very much intimidated by them, is quite confident in their abilities. But he mostly looks from afar, watching this muscly stranger staying with the other soldiers in Gelvaan.

Later, Otohan comes back to Gelvaan, although they’re a general now. Tired and worn out from a recent battle, she needs a place to stay - quiet and comforting, and Relvin is exactly that. He welcomes her, albeit somewhat nervously, and makes her tea while telling her stories to distract her. He tells her stories of his work, of how one of the horses is pregnant now. He tells stories his school, of his teachers, of a purple-haired girl who says hi to him in school hallways. Otohan doesn’t have any good stories to share, their life filled with too much bloodshed and pain, and Relvin isn’t particularly interested in battle tactics, so they sip their tea, block out Relvin’s thoughts, and every so often offer up names for the soon-to-be-born foal.

The next time Otohan visits is during a brief truce between the two warring parties, and Otohan had been looking forward to going back to Gelvaan, a part of her (that she would never admit) missing the boy who had almost become something like a friend to her. Relvin greets her (no longer nervous this time), and he introduces her to his girlfriend, Liliana. Otohan is fascinated with her, with Liliana’s powers (similar to their own - that’s new), with her violet eyes and lavender hair (they smile to themself when they remember Relvin’s stories from a little while ago). But it’s more than that, too - Liliana is inquisitive, bursting with questions (she was just a simple farm girl, after all, desperately curious about the outside world). She was smart, too - when she asked questions about the war, she seemed to instinctively understand battle strategies and the like, and wanted endless details of what happened. Relvin was glad to his his girlfriend and best friend (there unfortunately wasn’t much competition for that title) getting along, and he joked that Otohan may as well steal Liliana away from him, and they laughed, because how could that happen? Why would Liliana want to leave? (Otohan knows why she’d leave, and they keep quiet with a pang of guilt.)

Otohan heard about the fires in Gelvaan, and was terrified. It took her too long to get there, and when she finally arrived in Gelvaan, she took in the wide swathes of farmland withered and charred and raced to the home of her best friend (there unfortunately wasn’t much competition for that title). They arrived, and Relvin welcomed her (this time looking as if bags had been permanently carved under his eyes). He introduced them to his newborn daughter, Imogen, and Otohan (mostly relieved he and Liliana were alive) held her, rocking her to sleep as the two exhausted parents tried to rest.

Otohan wasn’t able to visit for a while, and she tried to pretend the part of her that worried for the Temult family didn’t exist. (But were they well rested? was Relvin less lonely? did Liliana feel more trapped? was Imogen ok? was she like her mother, like Otohan herself?) As soon as the war was over, they rushed to Gelvaan (still reeling from the war, and reckoning with their religion - after all the bloodshed and pain with no reward, was it really all worth it?) and they held Relvin tight - uncharacteristic for both of them, neither of them were physically affectionate people. They sat to talk, drank tea together, and when Otohan asked how Liliana was, Relvin flinched and said nothing. But (like Liliana, which Relvin tried not to focus on) Otohan was Ruidusborn, and she simply had to open up her mind to know what had happened. They promised to try to find her, and Relvin just nodded, and the two fell back into their regular quiet.

Otohan does find her, although she doesn’t bring herself to tell Relvin - she doesn’t actually reach out. Every time she puts a pen to paper, she doesn’t know what to say. What was there to say? “Hello, Relvin. Saw Liliana. She’s doing good, we’re fucking now! How’s Imogen? How’re the crops? The horses? Love, Otohan.” No, that wouldn’t do. So Otohan doesn’t write, and a part of her longed for the quiet comfort that is her best friend.

Relvin, for his part, was not having a good time. His wife left, his best friend hadn’t reached out for years, and he was lonely with no one but a child he might’ve struggled to raise even with Liliana’s help for company. He had long stopped hoping Liliana would ever come back - had long since grown to resent her - but part of him still longed for his best friend to return. And another part of him, the part that he tried to ignore, was the agonizingly cruel humor that all those years ago, when he had joked that Liliana and Otohan would run away together, he might as well have been right.

#long post #like LONG post lol oops #anyways that’s that for my random late-night headcanon ramblings #otohan thull #relvin temult #liliana temult #otohana #critical role headcanons #critical role #this is. not the most well written but whatever

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 8 Ep. 176: Just the Two of Us

In between hanging out with his beloved housemates, Peachy was working hard on his comedy material.

He was looking forward to proving to the agency that his jokes could stand on their own without musical backup. He wasn’t sure why that was so important to him, since he liked some entertainers that used both, but he was very much looking forward to specializing as a pure comedian.

Carefree hours of spending time with Jack and Luigi were replaced with working on refining and practicing his routines during the day and heading out to gigs in the evenings, leaving his two boys to occupy themselves without him.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi had so loved their first trip to the islands that Papa Jack made sure to take day trips to Sulani. This had the extra benefit of giving Luigi’s skin a much-needed break from the dry winter air that worsened his eczema, all while giving them a great chance to work on outdoor skills.

He earned his civic responsibility llama Scout badge picking up trash along the waterfront and learned a lot about logic and strategy among the chess players down at the park by the public beaches. The pair even got to see many exotic creatures not native to the rainy bay they lived in.

---------------------------------------------

Of course, a day on the island wasn’t all about getting smart and giving back.

The crystal-clear ocean water called to them, the warm rain no deterrent to a relaxing swim or some fishing in a trusty raincoat.

---------------------------------------------

When they did hang out at home, they made sure not to distract Peachy too much, instead spending time pursuing their individual interests.

Jack prepared meals for the household, while Luigi played his videogames. Competitive games like voidcritters were hard for Luigi, whose sense of sportsmanship was still developing. Jack tried to get him to enjoy the game win or lose, but it was still sometimes better just to encourage him to play different kinds of games. He especially enjoyed Sims Forever, pretending to be the watcher Papa Jack had told him about.

Making up tales about legacy heirs like himself and Dada Peachy gave his imagination room to explore and create stories that appealed to him.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi might have been born a legacy heir, according to his Papa, but he had not been born with the ability to use magic. Peachy planned to correct that little “problem” in the Magic Realm when his boy came of age, but Jack made sure Luigi learned how to fend for himself without spells too.

As they worked together to repair their broken toilet Luigi wondered why his Papa had never become a mage. Jack explained that while magic was a wonderful tool, he’d always been quite content to do things the “old fashioned” way. Hard work, he told his son, was its own reward.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi took Papa Jack’s lessons about hard work to heart, and in no time found himself succeeding handsomely. Maybe a promotion in scouts and top marks in school would show Dada Peachy he didn’t have to worry and fuss quite so much?

Jack was certainly proud of his boy, wrapping him up in the best hug ever while telling him how very proud he was of his accomplishments. Luigi thanked his Papa in turn, he knew he wouldn’t have been able to get so far so fast without his help and support.

---------------------------------------------

This family time was the best time for Jack and Luigi, father and son growing closer than ever.

They missed Peachy, the temporary work-a-holic, but spending each day living, laughing, and loving each others company was wonderful for them both.

-----------------------------------------

Travel Smart, Spend Less: Budgeting Tips for Your Next Adventure

Traveling offers more than simply picturesque beach vistas and moments fit for an Instagram account. It's an essential aspect of life. It's an investment in oneself, offering chances to break off from the routine of daily existence and take in new experiences. There are several benefits to traveling that go beyond budgetary limitations, such as discovering new ideas and experiencing other cultures and cuisines.

Despite the common belief that large sums of money are needed, you can still go on interesting adventures with little money. Traveling on a budget makes it possible for everyone to experience the world. Many low-cost travel strategies can save you a significant amount of money, such as using reward points or miles and booking your trip at the best times. This article covers some of the easiest and smartest tips to budget travel on your next adventure.

Planning Your Adventure on a Budget

Prior to starting your journey, be sure you have done your homework and are prepared. Choose your travel dates and destination first. By being flexible with your vacation dates, you can get the best airfare and hotel rates. Also, consider visiting during the off-peak season, when costs are typically lower.

Next, several locations will need to be investigated, and their cost of living will be contrasted. Some nations and places are more affordable than others. Examine the price of lodging, meals, travel, and attractions. Websites such as Budget Your Trip and Numbeo can give useful information about average costs in different places.

After reducing your alternatives for where to go, make a thorough itinerary. This will assist you in estimating your daily costs and allocating funds appropriately to your budget. Prioritize the must-see sights on your list according to your areas of interest. To control your spending, remember to include free or inexpensive activities in your schedule.

Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Destinations

If you're not careful, transportation might take up a big chunk of your travel budget. But you may save a lot of money on transportation if you make a few wise decisions.

When it comes to travel, adaptability is essential, that includes flexible travel dates. Be willing to go during off-peak or weekday hours, when fares are frequently lower and also be open to choosing affordable destinations. Additionally, think about using last-minute discounts or making your flight reservations well in advance. Websites like Skyscanner and Kayak can help you compare costs and identify the finest flight options.

If the distance to your destination is manageable, consider using buses or trains as an alternative form of transportation. These options can give you the chance to take beautiful routes and are typically less expensive than flying. Seek out cheap tickets or passes that provide unlimited travel within a designated period of time.

Embrace Cost-Effective Accommodation Options

Often, one of the biggest costs you incur when traveling is lodging. But there are lots of ways to locate cost-effective accommodation that aren't too expensive. Rather than staying at opulent resorts or upscale hotels, think about booking a room in a hostel, guesthouse, or cheap hotel. These hotels provide an opportunity to socialize with other visitors in addition to being reasonably priced.

Making reservations via websites for holiday rentals, such as HomeAway or Airbnb, is a fantastic alternative. These platforms offer a large selection of reasonably priced lodging choices, ranging from individual rooms to full flats or homes. Additionally, discounts and bargains for extended stays are frequently available.

Try couchsurfing if you're willing to try new things. With this innovative idea, you can spend no money staying with locals and experience the culture firsthand while still saving money. Just remember to take the required safety measures and check the reviews before selecting a host.

Eat Like a Local and Save

Food doesn't have to be expensive to be a vital component of any trip experience. With a little preparation and ingenuity, you can enjoy tasty meals without breaking the bank.

Eating like a local is one of the simplest methods for saving money while traveling. Avoid touristy eateries in busy places, as they are usually more expensive. Instead, explore the nearby communities and sample some street food or tiny, family-owned restaurants. You will not only get to experience real food, but you will also save a substantial sum of money.

Another way to cut costs with budget-friendly meals is to cook your meals whenever feasible. If you are lodging somewhere with kitchen facilities, use them. You can also make your own meals by going to the markets or grocery stores nearby. This will give you a close-up look at the local way of life while simultaneously saving money.

Utilize Public Transportation and Walk Whenever Possible

In general, public transportation is far less expensive than taxis or rental cars. You can purchase a travel card that allows you unlimited rides for a set amount of time in some cities. Even if you are a thrifty traveler, you can still make a positive impact on the environment and other people. Accept decisions that are better for the environment, like using public transportation tips and walking whenever possible.

The most affordable way to go around a city is usually by public transportation, particularly if you intend to make several visits. It consists of trains, buses, ferries, and subways, each with a different fare.

If you intend to make several journeys, consider purchasing a day pass or multipass to save money on transportation. Additionally, ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are available in most locations and might be less expensive than using a personal vehicle.

Make the Most of Free Activities and Attractions

Traveling doesn't have to be expensive to explore your place. Numerous cities provide an abundance of free attractions or inexpensive activities that let you experience the local way of life while also saving money.

Investigate the free attractions in your destination first. Museums frequently offer free or reduced entry on certain days or during certain hours. Parks, gardens, and historical locations are excellent choices for unrestricted exploration. Additionally, when you're there, try to find any local markets, festivals, or cultural activities. These can offer distinctive experiences at no additional expense.

Another option to cut costs on activities is to use discount cards or city passes. These cards are available in many cities and offer discounted or free admission to a number of sites in addition to subsidized public transit. Find out if these cards are available where you are going, then assess whether the cost is justified given the activities you have scheduled.

Conclusion

Budget travel does not have to equate to a lower caliber of experience. These six tried-and-true money-saving suggestions will help you maximize your vacation expenditures and provide lifelong memories.

Every step of your visit may be made as economical as possible, from organizing and planning it to locating reasonably priced lodging, cutting down on transportation expenses, and savoring meals that fit your budget.

How to make your own Cryptocurrency

In recent years, the world of digital finance has witnessed an unprecedented surge in interest and innovation, particularly with the advent of cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other established cryptocurrencies dominate the market, there is still ample room for new entrants. If you've ever pondered the idea of creating your own cryptocurrency, you're not alone. With the right knowledge and tools, it's entirely feasible to embark on this exciting journey. In this guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps to how to make your own cryptocurrency.

Understand the Basics:

Before diving into the technical aspects, it's crucial to grasp the fundamental concepts of cryptocurrencies. Familiarize yourself with blockchain technology, consensus mechanisms, and tokenomics. Companies like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken offer extensive educational resources to help you get started.

Define Your Purpose and Objectives:

Every successful cryptocurrency serves a specific purpose or addresses a particular need within the market. Determine the problem your cryptocurrency aims to solve and outline its unique features and benefits. Whether it's enhancing privacy, facilitating faster transactions, or enabling decentralized finance (DeFi), clarity of purpose is essential.

Choose a Consensus Mechanism:

Selecting the right consensus mechanism is crucial for ensuring the security and efficiency of your cryptocurrency network. Popular options include Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), and Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT). Companies like Ethereum, Cardano, and Algorand employ various consensus mechanisms, offering valuable insights into their implementation.

Design the Token Economics:

Token economics govern the distribution, supply, and utility of your cryptocurrency. Decide on factors such as the total token supply, initial distribution method, inflation rate (if any), and mechanisms for incentivizing network participants. Companies like Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) provide excellent examples of well-designed token economics.

Develop the Blockchain:

Building the underlying blockchain infrastructure is a complex yet rewarding endeavor. Depending on your technical proficiency, you may choose to develop the blockchain from scratch or utilize existing blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana. Companies such as ConsenSys, R3, and Chainlink offer robust blockchain development tools and frameworks.

Code the Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts are self-executing agreements coded onto the blockchain, governing various functions within your cryptocurrency ecosystem. Utilize programming languages like Solidity (for Ethereum) or Rust (for Polkadot) to develop smart contracts for functionalities such as token issuance, transfers, and governance. Companies like Chainlink and Truffle provide tools and libraries to streamline smart contract development.

Implement Security Measures:

Security is paramount in the world of cryptocurrencies, given the prevalence of hacking and fraud. Implement robust security measures such as multi-signature wallets, encryption protocols, and regular code audits to safeguard your cryptocurrency network. Companies like CertiK and Quantstamp offer blockchain security auditing services to fortify your project against vulnerabilities.

Launch and Promote Your Cryptocurrency:

Once your cryptocurrency is developed and thoroughly tested, it's time to launch it into the market. Create a compelling marketing strategy to generate awareness and attract users and investors. Leverage social media platforms, crypto forums, and partnerships with influencers to promote your cryptocurrency effectively. Companies like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, and CoinTelegraph can help amplify your reach within the crypto community.

Foster Community Engagement:

Building a vibrant and engaged community around your cryptocurrency is essential for its long-term success. Establish communication channels such as Discord, Telegram, and Reddit to interact with your users, address their concerns, and gather feedback. Encourage community participation through events, bounties, and reward programs to foster loyalty and advocacy.

Stay Compliant and Adapt:

As the regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies evolves, it's crucial to stay informed and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Stay abreast of regulatory developments in jurisdictions where your cryptocurrency operates and adapt your strategies accordingly. Companies like Coinbase Compliance and Elliptic offer compliance solutions to navigate regulatory challenges effectively.

In conclusion, creating your own cryptocurrency is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor that requires careful planning, technical expertise, and strategic execution. By following these steps and learning from established companies and projects in the cryptocurrency space, you can embark on this exciting journey with confidence. Remember to stay innovative, adaptable, and community-focused to maximize the potential of your cryptocurrency project in the dynamic world of digital finance.

Investing in Crypto Themes: A Smart Approach to Crypto-asset Administration

Cryptocurrency has become a prominent asset class in the world of finance, attracting investors from all walks of life. With thousands of cryptocurrencies available, managing a diverse crypto portfolio can be challenging. This is where Investing in Crypto Themes and crypto-asset administration come into play, offering a strategic approach to navigate the volatile crypto market.

What is investing in Crypto Themes?

Thematic crypto investment is a strategy that focuses on investing in cryptocurrencies that are related to a specific theme or industry. Unlike traditional investment strategies that spread resources across various assets, thematic investing narrows down the focus to a particular niche or concept. This approach allows investors to capitalize on trends, technological advancements, or specific market sectors within the crypto space.

Benefits of Investing in Crypto Themes

1. Focused Exposure: Thematic investing enables investors to concentrate on specific areas of interest or expertise. For example, if you believe in the potential of decentralized finance (DeFi), you can build a portfolio comprising DeFi-related cryptocurrencies. This focused exposure can lead to better understanding and informed decision-making.

2. Diversification within a Theme: While thematic investing narrows the focus, it still allows for diversification within the chosen theme. This reduces risk as you’re not putting all your eggs in one basket. You can invest in multiple cryptocurrencies within the same thematic category, spreading risk while still maintaining a cohesive strategy.

3. Alignment with Your Beliefs: Thematic investing allows you to align your investments with your beliefs and values. Whether you are passionate about blockchain technology, gaming, or renewable energy, you can select themes that resonate with your interests and convictions.

4. Easier Monitoring: Managing a thematic crypto portfolio can be more straightforward because you are tracking a select group of assets. This can be especially advantageous for investors who want to stay actively engaged in their portfolio management.

Crypto-asset administration in Thematic Investing

Effective crypto-asset administration is crucial when implementing a thematic investment strategy. Here are some essential steps to consider:

Dennis Loos: Strategies for Successfully Investing in Crypto

Dennis Loos is an experienced investor in the world of cryptocurrency. Having been involved with this type of investment for over five years, he has gained a wealth of knowledge and insight into what it takes to be successful when investing in cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will discuss Dennis's strategies for successfully investing in cryptocurrencies, as well as tips on avoiding common mistakes made by novice investors. We will also explore some examples of successful investments that Dennis has made himself and look at what the future potential holds for those looking to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Dennis Loos on the current state of cryptocurrency markets

The cryptocurrency market is currently in a period of significant growth. According to CoinDesk's State of Blockchain report, the total market capitalization of all crypto assets has grown by almost 300% since the beginning of 2018. This is largely due to increased investor interest and speculation around digital currencies, as well as an influx of institutional investors into the market.

Additionally, the number of different cryptocurrencies available on the market has grown significantly in recent years, with more than 2,000 different coins at last count. This wide variety has enabled investors to diversify their portfolios and gain access to a broad range of potential returns from investing in different coins.

Moreover, advancements in blockchain technology have also contributed to the growth of the cryptocurrency market. Blockchain-based smart contract platforms such as Ethereum have enabled developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that can facilitate peer-to-peer transactions without any intermediaries or third parties involved. Moreover, blockchain technology can also reduce costs associated with verifying transactions and maintaining data security while increasing transparency and trust among participants. All these factors have contributed to making cryptocurrency investment attractive for investors who are looking to capitalize on emerging trends.

Benefits of investing in cryptocurrencies

Investing in cryptocurrencies offers several potential benefits to investors, including the ability to diversify their portfolios and access new markets. Cryptocurrency investments are extremely liquid, meaning that they can be easily converted into cash or other assets. Additionally, they offer significant potential for capital growth, as cryptocurrency prices have been rising significantly over the past few years.

Furthermore, investing in cryptocurrencies can provide investors with greater control over their investments compared to traditional investments. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, so investors are not subject to the same regulations and laws that govern traditional investments. This means that investors have more freedom to decide how to best manage their crypto portfolios without having to worry about government regulations or restrictions.

In addition, investing in cryptocurrencies also offers potential tax advantages for investors. In some countries, profits from cryptocurrency trading and investing may be exempt from capital gains taxes. This could potentially save investors a great deal of money in the long run if their portfolio is successful.

Finally, investing in cryptocurrencies is relatively low risk compared to other types of investments due to its low correlation with traditional assets such as stocks and bonds. This means that even if markets experience a downturn or crash, it's likely that cryptocurrency prices will remain relatively stable due to their lack of correlation with the wider economy. As such, cryptocurrency investing provides an attractive way for long-term investors to hedge against economic uncertainty while still potentially reaping rewards from capital gains and price appreciation.

Strategies for successfully investing in cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrency investing requires a bit of research and planning to be successful. Here are some strategies for successfully investing in cryptocurrencies:

1. Research various coins and tokens: Before diving into the world of cryptocurrency trading, it’s important to do your due diligence in researching different coins and tokens. Consider factors such as the project's technology, the team behind it, its market capitalization, historical price performance, liquidity, and the overall utility of the coin or token. This will help you make informed decisions about which coins or tokens are worth investing in.

2. Diversify your portfolio: Cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile; hence, it is important to diversify your portfolio across different coins and tokens to minimize risk. Don't put all your eggs in one basket; spread out your investments to reduce potential losses. Moreover, consider investing in a mix of both short-term (i.e., day trading) and long-term strategies depending on what fits with your individual investment goals.

3. Stay up-to-date on news and regulations: To stay ahead of the game when investing in cryptocurrencies, it is essential to stay up-to-date on news related to the cryptocurrency industry as well as any new regulations or restrictions that may arise from governments within certain countries that could affect your investment strategy or profits.

4. Invest with a rational approach: It is easy to become emotional when investing in cryptocurrencies due to their high volatility; however, it is important to maintain an objective outlook and stick to data rather than relying purely on emotion when making investment decisions. Strive for competent decision-making by focusing on relevant facts rather than any potential hype around particular coins or tokens that could lead you down the wrong path financially.

5. Take advice from an expert: If you are new to the world of crypto trading and uncertain about how best to invest your money wisely then seeking advice from an experienced crypto expert such as Dennis Loos may be helpful—he has years of experience dealing with cryptocurrency markets and can provide valuable insights into current trends as well as future predictions based on his extensive knowledge of blockchain technology and financial markets around digital assets.

Tips on avoiding common mistakes when investing in cryptocurrencies

1. Do your research: Before investing in any cryptocurrency, it is important to do your research and understand the technology, team, market capitalization, historical price performance, liquidity, and utility of the coin or token. This will help you make informed decisions about which coins or tokens are worth investing in.

2. Diversify your portfolio: It is important to diversify your portfolio across different coins and tokens to minimize risk. Spreading out investments can reduce potential losses, so consider investing in a mix of both short-term (i.e., day trading) and long-term strategies depending on what fits with your individual investment goals.

3. Avoid FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out): It can be tempting to buy into speculation that certain coins or tokens may have a big increase in value over time due to hype or speculation around their potential; however, this could be risky as there are no guarantees that these predictions will come through. As such, it's important not to get caught up in the FOMO and to keep an objective outlook about which coins or tokens you invest in based on relevant facts instead of speculation or hype.

4. Don’t OverTrade: Cryptocurrency markets can be highly volatile so it is important not to overtrade as this could lead to significant losses if not managed correctly. When trading cryptocurrencies always strive for competent decision-making by focusing on relevant facts rather than any potential hype around particular coins or tokens that could lead you down the wrong path financially.

5. Beware of Fraudulent Activity: Always do due diligence before investing any money into a cryptocurrency-related venture as there have been many cases of fraudulent activities within the industry such as Ponzi schemes and pump & dump scams where unsuspecting investors lose their investments overnight due to unscrupulous individuals seeking profits at their expense.

The future potential of cryptocurrency investment opportunities

The future potential of cryptocurrency investment opportunities is highly promising, as the technology has proven to be immensely powerful and versatile. The blockchain technology underlying cryptocurrencies offer users a secure and immutable ledger for digital asset transactions, providing unparalleled levels of transparency, immutability, and security. Moreover, the decentralized nature of blockchain networks allows users to transact without any third-party interference. This makes it ideal for use in financial services such as banking, trading, payments, remittances, and more.

The cryptocurrency market is also estimated to keep growing significantly in the coming years due to its borderless nature and ability to bypass traditional regulatory systems. As such, there are expected to be more investment opportunities available for traders who want to take advantage of these technologies. With this said, investors should remember that crypto investments still come with plenty of risks which could lead to losses if not managed correctly – so it is important to do your research and understand the fundamentals behind any coin or token before investing in them.

In addition, due to the high volatility associated with cryptocurrencies making long-term investments can be risky – so focusing on short-term strategies such as day trading may be more advisable to maximize profits while minimizing risk. It is also important to have an overall diversified portfolio with a mix of coins & tokens from different industries (such as finance or healthcare) to mitigate any losses that may arise due to price fluctuations or market corrections. Finally, it is always important to seek advice from an experienced crypto expert like Dennis Loos if you’re uncertain about how best to invest your money wisely - he has years of experience dealing with cryptocurrency markets and can provide valuable insights into current trends as well as future predictions based on his extensive knowledge of blockchain technology and financial markets around digital assets.

What Is NFT Staking And How To Make Money With It

While crypto staking has been around for a long time, non-fungible token (NFT) staking is just starting to take off.

What is NFT staking

NFT staking is the process of locking non-fungible tokens in smart contracts of the platform in order to receive rewards and/or additional benefits. To add NFT to staking, you will need a web3 wallet — for example, ZenGo . This is a keyless mobile crypto wallet developed by the Israeli firm KZen Networks. It is available for all iOS devices since iPhone 6 and for most Android devices.

However, not all NFTs can be delegated to staking. Before buying digital collectibles, carefully examine all the details and make sure they are suitable for this purpose.

How NFT staking works

Staking can be compared to depositing money into a savings account at a bank. While your funds are blocked, you earn interest. In this case, non-fungible tokens are added to staking instead of cryptocurrencies.

NFT staking rewards will vary by platform and specific collection. Different collectibles will bring different income, and some are not subject to blocking in smart contracts at all. All these factors are determined by the project team at the minting stage — that is, the creation of NFTs.

Advantages and disadvantages of NFT staking

Like any other investment vehicle, NFT staking has its pros and cons. Let’s look at them in more detail.

Advantages:

Obtaining passive income. If you have NFTs that you are not going to sell in the near future, staking is a great opportunity to use your unused digital assets to earn additional income.

Interaction with projects and communities. Most projects offer useful tokens to users who stake their NFTs. These tokens can provide additional benefits, such as the right to vote and control, allowing participants to influence the future of the project.

Flaws:

Fraud risk. The NFT staking market is still in its infancy, so it can be quite difficult to distinguish reliable players from bad actors. Unreliable platforms can mishandle user funds and hide with their tokens. To avoid NFT scams, exercise due diligence and research the staking platform and its team thoroughly

Price volatility. As long as your NFTs are staked, their value can fluctuate significantly — and with it, the amount of rewards. However, if your investment strategy is focused on long-term storage, you should not worry about it.

Which platforms support NFT staking

We have compiled a short list of the most popular platforms that offer NFT staking to users. Please note that each of them has unique capabilities and supports different types of non-fungible tokens.

Binance NFT PowerStation

1. NFTX

2. Doge Capital

3. Splinterlands

4. Polychain Monsters

5. BAND NFTs

6. Mobox (MBOX)

7. KIRA

8. FootballCoin

9. WhenStaking (Onessus)

Some of these platforms, such as Polychain Monsters and Splinterlands, are dedicated to NFT games and only allow in-game assets to be staked.

Binance NFT Station is the best choice for beginners

Binance NFT PowerStation is one of the most popular and affordable platforms on our list. Exchange users can earn passive income from holding Binance Fan Tokens, as well as enjoy various benefits, such as priority for buying tickets or participating in voting. Fan tokens are especially popular among sports club fans, but they are also often used by artists and celebrities with large followings.

Insights That Can Help You Achieve Financial Success and Become Rich

Key Point:

Becoming rich requires a combination of discipline, smart strategies, and hard work. By taking ownership of your finances, using credit cards wisely, choosing the right bank, investing early and often, tracking your spending, automating your bills, and investing the simple way, you can increase your chances of achieving financial success.

Becoming rich is a dream that many people have, but only a few are able to achieve. The road to financial success is not easy, but it is definitely achievable with the right mindset, strategies, and actions. In this blog, we will discuss some powerful ideas that can help you become rich.

One of the most common mistakes people make is blaming others for their financial problems. They blame their boss, the economy, the government, or their upbringing. While these factors may play a role in your financial situation, ultimately, it is your responsibility to take charge of your finances. Instead of blaming others, take ownership of your financial problems and start working on solutions.

Credit cards can be a powerful tool if used wisely. They offer rewards, cashback, and other benefits that can help you save money. However, if you use them recklessly, they can also lead you into debt. To use your credit cards smartly, make sure you pay off your balance in full every month, avoid cash advances, and keep your credit utilization ratio low.

Not all banks are created equal, and some offer better interest rates and perks than others. When choosing a bank, look for one that offers high-interest savings accounts, low fees, and other benefits. Consider online banks, as they often offer better rates than traditional banks.

Investing is one of the most powerful ways to grow your wealth over time. Even if you only have a small amount of money to invest, it is still worth starting early. Many investment platforms now allow you to start investing with as little as $50 or less. Over time, your investments will grow, and you will be able to reinvest the returns to grow your wealth even faster.

To become rich, you need to be in control of your finances. This means knowing exactly how much money you are spending, and where that money is going. Track your spending using a budgeting app or spreadsheet, and then direct your money towards your goals. This could mean paying off debt, saving for a down payment on a house, or investing in your retirement.

Automating your bill payments is a great way to avoid late fees and ensure that your bills are paid on time. Most banks and credit card companies offer automatic bill payments, which allow you to set up recurring payments for your bills. This can save you time and stress, and ensure that your bills are always paid on time.

Investing can be complicated, but it doesn't have to be. You don't need to be an expert to invest in the stock market. Instead of trying to beat the market or time the market, consider investing in low-cost index funds or ETFs. These funds track the performance of the market and offer a diversified portfolio of stocks. Over time, these simple investments can provide solid returns and help you build wealth.

Becoming rich requires a combination of discipline, smart strategies, and hard work. By taking ownership of your finances, using credit cards wisely, choosing the right bank, investing early and often, tracking your spending, automating your bills, and investing the simple way, you can increase your chances of achieving financial success. Remember, it's never too late to start, so start taking action today!

Action plan: Be smart with unexpected gifts.

The next time you receive an unexpected monetary gift or bonus, such as a payrise, save 50 percent and spend the rest in whichever way you want. This way, you won’t get used to spending more than you can afford.

Don’t let people tell you how to save and spend your money.

You don’t need to scrimp and save on all the “right” or “acceptable” things. Instead, pick what’s really important for you to splurge or save on. For instance, if owning a collection of limited edition sneakers is more important to you than dining out every week, scrimp on the dining and spend on the shoes!

A New Hybrid Yield Aggregator

MAXX Finance is elevating the standard of traditional staking/yield farming systems we have seen in the past by focusing on high performance and efficiency. By applying innovation to pre-existing staking protocols we have created a cutting-edge ecosystem that rewards users for removing their tokens from circulation. In addition, MAXX has improved the tokenomic system of staking to reward the staking class and simultaneously combat inflation through deflationary measures.

People love staking and yield optimizing platforms. With MAXX we a building a protocol from the ground up to allow users to maximize these returns in an innovative and unique way. — Alpha

What is crypto staking?

Crypto staking is an activity where a user locks or holds funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to participate in maintaining the operations of a proof-of-stake (PoS)-based blockchain system. Crypto staking is similar to crypto mining in the sense that it helps a network achieve consensus while rewarding users who participate.

In staking, the right to validate transactions is determined by how many coins are “locked” inside a wallet. However, just like mining on a PoW platform, crypto stakers are incentivized to find a new block or add a transaction on a blockchain. Apart from incentives, PoS blockchain platforms are scalable and have high transaction speeds.

What is yield farming?

Yield farming allows investors to earn yield by putting coins or tokens in a decentralized application, or dApp. Examples of dApps include crypto wallets, DEXs, decentralized social media, and more.

Yield farmers generally use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to lend, borrow, or stake coins to earn interest and speculate on changes in price. Yield farming across DeFi is facilitated by smart contracts — pieces of code that automate financial agreements between two or more parties.

The problems Yield Farming & Staking can be a very profitable endeavor, however, it’s not without risk. The cryptocurrency ecosystem can be highly volatile, by staking or providing liquidity to multiple pairs you are essentially at risk.

Potential risks:

Impermanent Loss — It is very common that LP (liquidity providers) can experience impermanent loss during holding multiple pairs during a volatile market. Staking rewards and yield farming might not be viable if the underlying assets you are holding have experienced price drops equally. This is a very common issue with being an LP provider.

Regulatory Risks — Cryptocurrency regulation is still shrouded in uncertainty. The Securities and Exchange Commission has declared that some digital assets are securities, putting them within its jurisdiction and allowing it to regulate them.

Rug pulls, market volatility, and smart contract hacks are some additional risks associated with staking and providing liquidity to multiple different projects.

HODL has been a long-time motto of the crypto space, which every investor should consider since it generally works as a viable strategy. However, holding BTC for a year without staking it will produce no return, which is a shame when some protocols & platforms offer 15–20% APY while you HODL — Alpha

The MAXX Solution MAXX Finance has taken the best of both worlds with a hybrid yield-aggregator staking system that is designed to remove risk from you, the end user. This allows users to have an all-in-one staking ecosystem to interact with and earn guaranteed yields without the risks associated with yield farming, or staking.

Creating A Storage Of Value Ecosystem By building on a L2 (Layer 2 blockchain) MAXX is not required to verify transactions since the L2 does this for a fee. We have created a staking system that is intelligently implemented and allows users to earn rewards by staking MAXX.

Essentially we operate like Bitcoin’s storage of wealth ecosystem and allow for users to facilitate transactions to and from wallets while giving rewards in the form of $MAXX to the staking class. — Alpha

Removing the middle man MAXX encourages users to remove their coins from CeFi (Centralized Finance) CEX (Centralized Exchanges) and enter the DeFi (Decentralized Finance Space) instead to reap its unique benefits. DeFi is the best place to be in the crypto sphere, as you own your own wallet keys and coins which solely belong to you, not an intermediary party, which helps to remove any counterparty risk.

With MAXX the coins never leave your wallet, you are always in control of the private keys and can buy, sell, or cancel the stake at any time. This allows you to hodl while the protocol is pre-programmed to pay out a yield that is gathered from the global blockchain of MAXX.

You sleep better at night knowing that the valuable assets you have are not in someone elses wallets — Alpha

Discouraging trading activities Every trader will tell you, that there are wins and losses when trading crypto or any other asset class. By staking your crypto you are effectively reducing potential loss to your holdings since a smart contract locks up your coin, similar to putting your money in a piggy bank. You can end your crypto stake at any time, however, the system is created to encourage you to fulfill your obligation and wait for the full term of your stake to reap the maximum benefits. Ending your stake early is always an option but you will incur a penalty by doing so.

95% of traders are not profitable, while the remaining 5% require at least 3 years of trading to become profitable. Are you part of the 5%? — Alpha

Providing Risk-Averse Environment By removing the need to stake two or more paired crypto assets, MAXX removes the need to chase the best yield proposition from other platforms. By using the MAXX token within the stake constantly rebalancing the portfolio is no longer necessary.

MAXX gives you the ability to earn a GUARANTEED amount of yield unlike other L2 staking systems that offer 5–13% APY, nearly half of what MAXX can guarantee.

How MAXX is gamifying the system.

Yield Aggregation Safe and steady deflationary measures allow us to operate in a safe and predictable manner. We dedicate a percentage of liquidity that is specifically allocated to owning validator nodes across top L2 platforms such as ETH, BSC, FTM, MATIC, & more.

LP Providing popular protocols The second layer is to create LP pairs of popular protocols to constantly provide liquidity & yield farm the crypto ecosystem. Without having to worry about the downside effects or focus on a very short time frame we are able to constantly capture tangible yield to distribute between the MAXX Vault.

Careful Risk On & Risk Off Strategies We will have an overall macro outlook on the market determining the market condition and focusing on long-only holdings that are never leveraged. These assets will be held in a multi-signature wallet that will allow us to have maximum protection. The strategies will come from AI technology that will give us clear information about the cycle of the market with the ability to take risk on & risk-off strategies to capture the maximum amount of gain during a bull or a bear market.

MAXX TX TAX MAXX uses a dynamic tax implementation system that contributes to the deflation of the entire protocol & chain to generate revenue for the protocol. It will cost a small fee to process transactions on MAXX, but in the long term, this will benefit the overall protocol and allow all users to benefit from the deflation.

MAXXVault MAXX will constantly be building further on the platform through our community-voted Vault system. The vault is designed to burn tokens, pay for marketing, as well as fund further development of the protocol.

The MAXX Staking system is designed to remove supply from circulation and reward users by doing so. With MAXX you can safely hodl while you own your own wallet keys, which will create lots of positive price action and price appreciation in the future. We have multiple data sets and points that prove that this system will be sustainable well into the future providing a long-term staking solution for yeras to come.

The MAXX team is grateful for the support of our community as we continue to develop this much-needed solution. Join our telegram and follow our socials in order to stay up to date with our project.

What is Alpaca Finance

Alpaca Finance is a lending protocol which allows you to yield farm using leverage on BNB and Fantom. And it was the first one who implemented leverage that way.

Lenders get safe and stable yields while borrowers get uncollateralized loans for leveraged yield farming positions to increase their earnings.

Even safer are the Automated Vaults apply a market neutral strategy, working both in bear and bull markets, with said leverage to multiply slightly stable profits.

However, that doesn’t mean it can suffer from smart contract attacks like other protocols or chains.

What is DeFi

If you have already used similar platforms, websites or daaps you already know that Alpaca falls under the DeFi category being a decentralized platform.

That means you will need to pay fees depending on the blockchain you are using and send some funds from your wallet, but generally BNB and Fatom fees are not that expensive.

Protocol Info

If you want to know a little bit more about what’s happening underneath you can check out Alpaca Finance on DeFi Llama for some stats such as Total Value Locked (TVL), Chains, Tokens, Token Inflows and USD Inflows.

For more details you can click on view on BSCScan to look at the contract, transactions and more.

Lend

Just like other lending products you deposit a certain amount of a coin and then earn interest on it.

There are different coins on BNB and Fantom, but they usually stack both Lending and Staking rewards so that you can get higher APYs.

Some assets you can lend are:

ALPACA

CAKE

BNB

BUSD

USDT

USDC

TUSD

BTC

ETH

Right now, ALPACA and CAKE have the highest APYs, but to earn that with ALPACA you would need to lock up your funds for 1 to 52 weeks.

Such high APYs can be achieved because Alpaca offers high capital efficiency to borrowers, allowing them to open undercollateralized loans for yield farming.

As a result, our utilization rates and lending interest rates are consistently 2x(or higher) than that of other protocols.

Farm

On the farming section you will see the leverage playout as you can increase it from 1 to 4.50% to increase the base APYs.

Leverage Yield Farm is the core product of Alpaca Finance which allows you to multiply your yields.

Although it’s a great feature it’s not free. You will need to pay borrowing interest to use those borrowed funds for leverage.

You will see all the active pools and be able to filter them according to the DEX and Paired Asset. And sort the pools by TVL or APY Percentage.

Of course, a Higher APY will give you higher returns but might also be riskier so you might want to check out what assets are in that pool.

Usually, long-standing projects with a higher or decent MarketCap are less risky especially if they are paired with a stable coin such as USDT.

They still can provide you better than average returns with leverage so that’s what I would recommend. Some examples would be:

ALPACA-BUSD (57%)

ETH-USDT (52%)

BNB-USDT (30%)

CAKE-USDT (162%)

Automated Vaults

On the farm section you also have the automated vaults with Neutral and Savings Vault strategies and some balanced options when it comes to APYs and risk levels.

The automated vaults run complex strategies like an edge fund to improve profitability over a period.

Neutral Strategies are leverage yield farming strategies that farm both long and short positions at the same time and are rebalanced to keep a neutral exposure. So that they can have high yields and low risk.

Savings Vault Strategies are long strategies like staking or lending one coin but earn higher APYs with higher leverage.

Vaults have a certain capacity and the higher APY ones are often filled very quickly due to their great risk/ reward ratio!

There are 3x and 8x leverage vaults. 3x are public which means everyone can use them while 8x are private and can only be used by xALPACA and AUSD3EPS holders.

APYs usually range from 10-40% depending on the asset and strategy. And will need to deposit both assets to get it going.

By clicking on invest you get some more info about the vault including an Annualized Returns Chart and a Backtest Analysis Chart with some Key Statistics and Expected Returns.

AUSD

AUSD is an auto-farming stablecoin that earns passive yields for you.

Here’s what you can do with it:

Stake AUSD

Sell AUSD into lending assets to leverage up lending positions

Sell AUSD into other assets to open high yield leveraged yield farming positions

Sell AUSD into other assets to deploy in external protocols

On the section itself you have a few pools where you can borrow or supply AUSD to earn yields.

Those yields are not that high as the resulting rewards are from Lending and Staking a stable coin which does not appreciate.

Stake

Here you can stake tokens, NFTs or AUSD for some lower yields. But I cannot confirm that for the NFTs as I do know own any Alpies myself.

There’s no use of leverage, it’s just regular staking where you deposit your funds, support a network, and earn rewards.

Alpies

Alpies are Alpaca Finance Protocol NFTs that are sold on multiple marketplaces.

I’m not going to cover much more than this regarding NFTs as the goal of the video is to talk more about investing and yields generated by using the Daap.

But there’s a video on the channel covering how to make money with NFTs using different strategies so click on the card to check it out!

Graze

Grazing is accessible through governance staking. Where essential you lock up some ALPACA and earn ALPACA rewards plus grazing ranges.

Janis Urste Forex Market Sucess Tips Just For You

Janis Urste Expert tips provider. The foreign exchange, or forex market, has become an increasingly popular destination for those hoping to make the most of their investments. However, like any market, it has its share of pitfalls which can ensnare novice investors. Avoid these dangers, and get the most from your money by using the techniques in this article.

When trading Forex be sure to stick with what you know and understand. This is important because this is one way to be as sure as possible that you are being smart with your investments. Rumors and trends may tempt you to go outside of your comfort zone, however these may often be misguided.

You may think you know a little bit about Forex, but you still need to choose an account type that suits your level of understanding. Starting out with a low-leverage mini account is probably in your best interest if you are a beginner. There is nothing wrong with nickel-and-diming your way up to the big leagues. In fact, this is a very low-risk way of trading.

After becoming familiar with the forex market's peculiarities a successful trader may have surplus cash on hand. It is vital to manage these profits carefully. The nature of the forex market dictates that yesterday's profits may be cancelled out by tomorrow's losses. Handling profits prudently can protect a forex trader from the vicissitudes of the market.

In most cases, you should make your investments with the flow of the financial market. If you go against the market, this could cost you. Additionally, if it were to pay off, it would be a long term investment that would take quite a while to cash in on.

Don't ever trade money in the forex markets that you need to meet your basic financial needs every month. If you are working on a deadline to pay your mortgage or your utilities bills, you will trade emotionally, not rationally. Forex trading shouldn't be done as your only source of income, and should only be done with money you can afford to lose.

Pay attention to the news of the countries you are trading but do not use the news as your sole reason to make a trade. Just because good or bad news comes out of a marke,t does not mean that it will make a noticeable change, one way or the other, in the currency.

Don't get too comfortable with just one or two trading pairs in the forex market. A lot of people make the mistake of learning everything about one pair and sticking with it because they believe they will be able to predict the future. You can't predict the future of a currency, so make sure you keep yourself working on multiple pairs.

Be very careful relying on other trader's advice. You need to be sure that this advice will benefit you, not cause you major issues that will be near impossible to fix. You can observe their methods for trading analysis and learn how to do it on your own though. Blindly following another person's strategy can lead you to major losses, so you may want to think twice before doing so.

Janis Urste Best service provider. It is important for the astute Forex trader not to fool themselves. Positions must be opened based on clear, confirmed trends, not on half-seen guesses and optimistic expectations. Good traders trade to the realities of the market, not to ideal situations they are hoping to see develop in the future.

If you are interested in finding new ways to invest some extra money you may have, consider the Forex market. There are many available charts, news and research websites that can offer tips and tutorials on how to get started, and invest successfully. Speculating on the fluctuation of foreign currencies can be very profitable.

Don't lose site of the primary reason for forex market charts. Charts of market activity show you if the market is thinking bearish or bullish. When price activity is charted, it can help you see trends as they start to develop and take advantage of them with your pre-planned trading methodology.

Before entering a trade, you should establish a risk and reward ratio. This ratio will indicate how much money you are willing to lose, in comparison to how much you could potentially make. You need to look for positions where the potential gain is much higher than the potential loss.

Hard work doesn't mean better pay. Working smart will pay off. Focus on the right education and stick to what works for you. If you see something that doesn't work, move on to the next strategy. Focus and practice on everything that works for you. You will only get better in time.

To prevent making the same Forex trading mistakes over again, think about keeping a trading journal or diary. By maintaining a journal, you can keep notes on why you made specific trading decisions at particular times and what the outcomes of those decisions were. This process can prove to be very helpful while you're learning Forex trading.

When trading Forex, study your trading activity, take notes and analyze your successes and failures. Trading is a highly analytical occupation, and before you even get started with technical or fundamental analysis begin your analysis with your very first dollar placed in the market. Successful traders keep diaries to journal their trading activity every day finding what works and what does not. This is one of the most important habits you can integrate into your trading.

Join Forex forums. There are hundreds of forums online dedicated to helping traders get more experienced and develop relationships with other brokers who may have great insight. Take advantage of these by signing up for as many as you like, and frequenting them as often as you can. You never know what support they may provide.

Janis Urste Top service provider. As with any investment, a proper understanding of how the forex market works is a vital first step before you invest your money. Once you know what you are doing, however, you can avoid the dangers and begin to see a real return on your investment. Just use the advice you've learned from this article.

What Is a Do-It-Yourself Home Security System?

Even individuals who have never considered purchasing home security systems are interested in DIY options. A new group of American households have started installing their own security systems, according to research by Parks Associates, a market intelligence company that specializes in consumer electronics. Reduced costs, ease of installation, and a desire to comprehend exactly what these devices accomplish are a few of the main justifications.

Smart-home technology is used by DIY security systems, both monitored and unmonitored, to eliminate the need for installers

While notifications can be sent when a door, window, or motion sensor is activated and footage can be viewed remotely with self-monitored systems, no authorities are automatically notified. On the other hand, monitored DIY home security systems send data to a business entrusted with alerting law enforcement and other authorities in case of an emergency. Consumers may travel, work, and sleep soundly knowing that in the case of a break-in, fire, or other emergency, someone will contact emergency services.

Leading alarm retailers provide portable, preprogrammed devices for DIY home security systems

Different businesses, from small independent merchants to the titans of the security sector, have put their own spins on what "do-it-yourself" entails. Even some ardent supporters of smart homes meticulously choose each component and painstakingly integrate it into a custom home security system. However, the majority of customers are searching for an easy-to-complete DIY home security project.

The scope of DIY home security initiatives is up to the homeowners and renters, although packages might provide more ease

Not every situation calls for or warrants the use of a certain security system component. Every family (and every house) is different. But the majority of individuals can either buy the necessary equipment alone or as part of a bundle that the dealer recommends. The control panel, also known as the hub, is the central component of both strategies and is responsible for relaying data from individual devices to a monitoring firm and the end user.

One of the easiest—and most rewarding—DIY home security chores is installing a sophisticated electronic system

Security systems perform best when used in conjunction with other tried-and-true home security modifications. A well-planned landscape can give fewer ports of entry and fewer hiding locations for criminals. Making windows, doors, and locks stronger can help deter break-in attempts. While such measures are still important, it's important to emphasize that installing electronic surveillance and monitoring gear is quite effective—and rapidly becoming into one of the simplest DIY home security tasks available.

Families' daily lives are made safer and more connected with Cove Smart. For more than a decade, we have been innovating the home security sector. And that's only the beginning.
