Covering important crypto weekly news is uncovering these patterns:

Big institutions are entering the space that could open crypto to masses
Lot of innovation is taking place
Global Payment systems find best use case with Crypto

This weeks’ news is in line with these patterns.

Facebook’s Calibra Sued for Trademark Infringement

Facebook Libra’s growing list of concerns just got a bit bigger. Current, an alternative app based banking startup, sued Calibra for Trademark infringement. According to the complaint lodged in NY, Current claimed that Calibra’s Logo(s) “have deceived and are likely to deceive the relevant consuming public into believing, mistakenly, that Current’s online and mobile banking app and related banking and financial services are somehow associated or affiliated with Calibra, or that they are sponsored or authorized by Calibra.”

FSB raises concerns about Stablecoins

Financial Stability Board has raised concerns about the role of Stablecoins and possible disruption of the financial systems integrity. In its letter FSB states that “the introduction of “global stablecoins” could pose a host of challenges to the regulatory community, not least because they have the potential to become systemically important, including through the substitution of domestic currencies. These include challenges for financial stability; consumer and investor protection; data privacy and protection; financial integrity including AML/CFT and know-your-customer compliance; mitigation of tax evasion; fair competition and anti-trust policy; market integrity; sound and efficient governance; cyber security and operational risks; and an appropriate legal basis.”

Bank of Canada cryptocurrency

Bank of Canada wants to introduce a National Digital currency that can be made “widely” available. These plans were revealed in an internal presentation to the Chairman of the bank. According to an article in the Financial Post, “We need to innovate to stay in the game,” the presentation reads. A digital currency would provide “all the benefits” of a central bank-backed asset, it says, as well as “all the convenience and security of wireless, electronic payments.” This move comes from Canada on the verge of countries racing to create its own National Digital Currencies.

Fidelity rolls out cryptocurrency

According to Financial Times, Fidelity is ready to roll out its Cryptocurrency custody service. There are people out there with significant amounts of wealth in cryptocurrencies, probably bitcoin, and they’re looking for somebody to hold those coins for them because in the event of their passing — which is going to happen at some point or another — you’ve got to have a plan to be able to get those coins to somebody else,” Ms Johnson said, according to FT. Although there are many custody services in the crypto space, no one has the connections or range of services as Fidelity which manages 2.8 Trillion in assets.

Lessons from the Veteran HODLERS to the Newbies!

Published

2 days ago

November 17, 2020

cryptotapas

For all those who entered the crypto market after the 2017 bull run - here are few lessons from the HODLERS from the last bull run(s).

This is our attempt at making all you newbies aware of the mistakes veteran cryptoers did.

Let’s get started…

Don’t FOMO in to all the hype

It’s hard not to FOMO in crypto. The trick is to make sure you don’t lose your shirt in crazy bets. Always limit your bets to what you are comfortable losing.

The common ways you can become victim of FOMO are:

Following your favorite YouTuber without actually doing your own research on the project.
Investing into projects at the top.
Believing in promises of 100x or 1000x without any substance behind those claims.

HODLing far too long

Remember why you are into crypto - to make the money.

Never fall in love with your crypto, and HODL the tokens even when they are 10x and more.

Have a strategy to take your capital out before you become a HODLer.

If you believe the project really has what it takes to go beyond 100x and more, just sell in instalments so as to not miss the ride.

One of the best ways to HODL is to take your capital in full and profit in tranches.

This rekt story will give you a right perspective of what it looks like, it’s one of many:

Educate yourself. There are so many stories like this.
If you don’t like my course, take somebody else’s but please don’t become genius too early. https://t.co/4oZUYA3eGH

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

Never go all in on one project. No matter how strong the project may look, even the projects with strong fundamentals don’t do well sometimes.

And, you will be kicking yourself watching other projects go up and your portfolio just doesn’t seem to make a move.

And don’t over do it and have a portfolio with over 100 projects either. It is very difficult not to have invested in more than 15 projects but anything less than 20 is a good way to go, in our opinion.

Put aside the share of Profits for Taxes.

One way you can get a good night’s sleep is by paying taxes.

Always keep a habit of putting aside a % of your profits in USDT or other stable coins, as a reserve to take advantage of market volatility and also to meet your tax obligations.

Exchanges are more evil during bull run

Don’t trust exchanges. Yes we already know that, but they play more games during bullrun, some intentional and some technical.

Many exchanges tend to go under maintenance when the prices shoot up too high too soon (Coinbase?), and you can’t sell.

And the shady exchanges scam out before you know.

Regulators seem interested when the market cap of these projects goes through the roof, which then adds FUD around the project crashing the prices.

Exchange may freeze funds pending investigations when such issues arise.

Take for example OKEx. Users are unable to withdraw their assets from the exchange for almost a month now, not certain if they ever will, and all that started with the legal dispute.

Never fall for Arbitrage gains

Arbitrage is when you buy in one exchange at a lower rate and sell on the other for a higher rate to take some profits.

Some shady exchanges show a lot higher prices than the other genuine exchanges and when you deposit your assets to sell at those prices there won’t be actual volume to execute the trade. You may be stuck with either a high fee for withdrawal or other funky rules to take your own money out.

Remember, there is no free Giveaway

Scammers rise with the rising market.

When the crypto market buzzes with all time highs - scammers cash in big time on newbies.

The most lucrative scam in crypto is ‘Free Giveaway’. Whether it be through YouYube ads or discussion groups and wherever they can get your attention. Read this article on various sophisticated scams that are being deployed.

We hope these lessons help you through your trades and crypto life. Stay safe and always DYOR.
