Yeah I went in very heavy with API3 and this alone can carry a portfolio.

This is whats great about having a bit of knowledge. With all of the hype out there about Link and the large market cap, this is a project that is basically better in every way technologically with 1/10th the total supply and 1/5th of the price currently.
It's a failsafe super earner, and with these staking rewards I will be scared to imagine what my portfolio might look like in a year.

Might even be able to afford that second hand Lambo or two.

Amazon, Google, Swisscom, Swift in a week = Hype.

Link isn't a bad hodl, especially if you got in a year or more ago.

It's just that at this point it's a worse investment in every way than API3.

The share of the Oracle space is going to increasingly shift in the months and years ahead.
 
Fear and greed index at 74, could be a correction coming soon.
 
I’m a small time investor. Tiny. Got a little more than 15k in it — of which I have exactly 2 shares of Ethyrium. Missed the boat on Bitcoin :(

The rest of my portfolio is a grab bag of literally every coin out there. No joke. My logic: I’m not smart enough to know what’s going to be the next big thing. Nor is anyone else. I’m holding onto everything I got until something hits. So maybe I lose it all? Doubt it.

There are enough people with money who are stuck in shitty low trust countries with faltering economies and crooked governments that I think Crypto will be a solid investment for the future. Playing the long game.

Invest only what you can afford to sit on for years or lose, obviously


If you’re holding like you’re saying than you ARE one of the smart ones. Yeah you didn’t get in early… that sucks… but better late than never.

I'm with you on the fact that I own literally 75 coins or more....lol. I'm heavy on 3-4....medium on 12 or so....and then took $25 fliers on like 60 or more. I'm in the same boat that maybe, just maybe, one of them turns into the Doge or Shiba or some moonbag. For the most part I look at those shitcoins as lost money lottery tickets and I'm OK with that.

I didn't start crypto until January of this year so I'm a complete newbie at this. I am up overall though which is great as I got in heavy in Jan/Feb and have DCA throughout.

As someone else said here too, there isn't much point in my leveling out just to make $500 here and there. I'm here to ride it until 2025 and beyond, where it will either make my multiples of itself of copletely lose everything ;)

But I'm with you. I think people are so interested in this for many reasons....1 of them is that they don't trust banks or governments. And also b/c we want to give a middle finger to the banks for giving us interest rates of like .05%.
 
@TheMaster think I finally got it staked. Metamask ain't showing my api3 tho. But it was there when linked wallet so still a bit doubtful lol

You can see if it's staked by going to the staking page and connecting your wallet. It won't show up in the wallet itself since it's deposited into the stake pool but you can access it through the wallet still.

This.

The 2 or 3 integrations or partnerships Chainlink announced this week is like Amazon announcing they will sell somehting the didn't sell before. It's nothing major, they are doing what Amazon does which is sell stuff.

Chainlink does the same, provide data as a middleman which is contrary to the idea of crypto. We don't want middlemen. So any new partnership doesn't do anything to the price. If it did then it would be top 10.

Cheers mate
 
80 bucks of shib I threw in just for whatever was worth $60 but now back to 80... once it hits 81 I’m having a party
 
LINK is an interesting project, but can it beat BTC? the chart LINKBTC tells me it's a risky bet vs BTC. It's like stock picking and trying to beat SP500 it's not so easy.
 
A little confused with metamask. I realize there is 1 address so do I need to add API3 as a token first? Or just send it to that address and it will
Show up?
 
Nvm got it. Added a custom token.

I had the same issues, but never got it in metamask profile but did have it when I went to stake heh

Edit = Didn't do custom token as it went straight into stake

Makes me want to drop like 50k into API3 but should have done that at 1.79. Oh well, I have a pretty good chunk in there.
 
I use crpto.com as my eth is on 6.5% earn ( 3 months ) 5.5 % apy if I wasn't holding so much cro. My ada on 3% . My algo on 3% . Cro on 10% stake and 6 % on another chunk of cro. Could put my vet in @ 3% but I like having my holdings split between crpto.com and coinspot. Was my hedge. Just moved my api3 from coinspot ( was doing nothing there ). Thanks TheMaster.

Edit : my vet on coinspot earns the 1000 odd vtho a month
Edit: would be 2% on the 3%ers without my large cro stake.

All 3 month terms bar the big cro stake ( 1 year )

Also have a couple grand of taud in @ 12% ( 3 months) which is literally a 1 to 1 on the Aussie dollar.

So far so good.

2nd edit.. can give referral codes so hit me up lol but this is no way financial advice.. just what I've done
