HAPPENING

Definitely need to learn about crypto

What apps/sites/tools do I need as a beginner in crypto

@0 are there any pools yet for ETH?

not sure what exactly you mean?

like safe trustworthy staking pools for ETH 2

beacon chain doesn't go live until dec 1

note i did not lock up any of my ETH in 2.0's launch phase

i bought a bag of ANKR so i'm looking at their solution called STKR

ankr.com/stkr
stkr.io

there are also these (i hold RPL);

rocketpool.net
bloxstaking.com

that's all i've followed so far

there should be a multitude of custodial solutions once it's live though

even expect exchanges like coinbase to offer 2.0 staking rewards if you lock up your ETH

What is this about? I've seen eth 2.0 being talked about. Is this like pre-ordering or funding the creation of 2.0?

Holy s*** making 2k on crypto is a dream I never thought would be true. I remember being in my heb break room reading about eth back when it's started to hit $43. Then reading all year about crypto till bitcoin hit 20k. Now I'm here with investments towards my future

proud of you bro

time to smoke a fat joint and go on youtube and search "eth 2.0" and learn what is coming

Will do for work rn while it's slow

i just checked and there weren't that many good videos

here's one she explains most of the early stuff well enough

XRP is essentially working on a use case to eliminate nostro/vostro accounts and was a pioneer for disrupting financial crypto services by literally providing a method to free up over trillions in LOCKED UP CAPITAL for the FX market.

In my biased opinion no other company out there is working with banks/institutions/FX companies on such a global scale in order to create a network that can potentially scale up to that level.

Every quarter XRP is available in newer payment corridors. That's impressive as f***. We're taking about actual liquidity providers to ensure healthy facilitation of payments for cross border transactions.

The whole point of XRP/Ripple is to work with these firms and to create payment channels in order to eliminate the nostro/vostro accounts. That's the primary objective.

You're talking about freeing up 27 Trillion USD globally that's locked in these N/V accounts and you're like hurr durr why didn't anything change in 3 - 4 years? LMAO what?!

You're expecting things to happen overnight? Some of these banks still operate on SWIFT tech that hasn't been updated in over 30-years and you expect them to switch to over to XRP so quickly?

XRP can be settled through RippleNet, even if XRP is not being used as we speak for large volume transactions you still need to create the infrastructure i.e. RippleNet. There is nothing wrong in Ripple only having people on board for the timebeing on RippleNet you need to at least have the infrastructure.

Also, the SEC/USA not giving clear regulatory clearance whether it's a security or not is also another issue for preventing mass adoption so banks ideally cannot use XRP at risk of getting fined until there is clarity on the matter.

Why is the idea of seeing XRP overtaking BTC that outlandish? XRP and BTC can both co-exist they have different applications.

There are literal s*** coins in this space and for some reason you have a problem with XRP lol, the one crypto backed by a company that literally does so much for the space.

The level of transparency and professionalism by Ripple is second to none and honestly if you don't feel that way that's fine.

off the current topic but can anyone recommend some good options trading course/text for beginners?
