The Bitcoin Bonzana: "Let the Good Times Roll..." avatar of @acesontop 79 Adrian @acesontop • 8 hours ago LeoFinance Badge 3 min read Yesterday is a thing of the past, and today we're back in action! It's fascinating how the psychology of the masses works, and once you master your emotions, build your beliefs on solid foundations, and clear your vision from all the noise and distractions, you can leverage it to your advantage in the world of crypto. Do you remember what Bitcoin was like when you first entered the crypto space? It was a $3,000 digital currency on the verge of being banned in China. Some saw it as a money-making asset for tech enthusiasts, while others hailed it as the ultimate form of sound money. Do you recall that conference with Pompliano and no attendees? Imagine passionately preaching about the future importance of Bitcoin to an empty conference hall. You have to admire Pompliano's dedication in educating the masses about the true value of Bitcoin, rather than merely enticing them with speculative gains. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock Inc., once referred to Bitcoin as an "international asset" and expressed a desire to make investing in cryptocurrency more accessible and affordable. Quite the transformation, considering back in 2017 when I first entered the crypto scene, he stated that "Bitcoin just shows you how much demand for money laundering there is in the world." A radical change of opinion in just a few years, wouldn't you say? Image from thread But let's not be fooled. Fink isn't delusional or full of it. He's simply serving the interests of the company he runs, which aspires to become a global investment behemoth. Don't for a second believe that BlackRock, now seemingly bullish on Bitcoin and even filing for a Bitcoin spot ETF, will start accumulating Bitcoin. Oh no, my friend. That's not their game. These financial giants hoard specific assets while publicly disparaging them. They understand their influence and the power of their words to sway the masses. Their strategy is to accumulate as much as possible while undermining Bitcoin, and once their bags are almost full, they initiate a pump. Only a few astute individuals can see through this game, which is why they remain steadfast amid wild price swings. In reality, the most effective way to navigate the crypto market is to take a relatively long-term view. Buy when everyone is bearish, or at least pretending to be, and sell when the plebs turn bullish. When unexpected acquaintances start calling you, asking how to buy Bitcoin, that's the time to start considering a dump. Remember, the majority is typically wrong, late to the party, and often on the sidelines when they should be accumulating. You'd be surprised how many potential crypto enthusiasts are still on the sidelines, waiting for confirmation that we're in a bull market. WE ARE IN A BULL MARKET. We've been in one since BTC surpassed $15,000 and soared past $20,000. It won't skyrocket overnight, but the trend is crystal clear (at least to me), and it's wise to ride the wave until the trend loses its friendly nature. A few months ago, my internet pal (the gaylord himself who somehow managed to have two great kids with a biological woman), @trumpman raised the question of who would buy BTC amidst the societal turmoil we're experiencing. Well, it seems that BlackRock is diving in, MicroStrategy is also diving in, and many cautious investors who want to play this game safely are doing so through these funds. The landscape is ever-changing, and with each cycle, a new narrative emerges that inflates our portfolios. This time, I'm determined to secure some profits, though 😀, unlike my experiences in 2017 and 2021. According to BlackRock's CEO, Larry Fink, Bitcoin is akin to digital gold, while "Ethereum is the world's financial supercomputer, with $ETH serving as programmable ultra-sound money". Isn't that entertaining? If you're not captivated yet, you soon will be. Just don't sit on the sidelines now and avoid succumbing to excessive greed when the good times arrive. The juiciest parts lie in between, and that's what I'm after... How about you?

PeakD Fizzled Hype 12 Comments / 1 reblogs / 50+ views edicted82 5 days ago C/Hive Gaming 8 MIN READ 1534 WORDS match-flizzle-out-smoke-fire-strike.jpg I'm happy to report that my compulsive playing of Diablo IV has come to an end. I've done all the things, many times, and I'm officially over it. Of course I'm 'only' level 87 still and would like to hit 100. No promises though. While D4 is a pretty fun game for casual gamers with a lot to do in the early to mid game, the endgame is completely broken for several reasons which I'll go into in detail. image.png First off there's always something to be said about men choosing to play a female character in a roll-playing game. The gaming community remains infamous for its toxicity in this regard; a sprawling sub-culture of involuntary celibate dorks who make the situation even worse by being perpetually salty about this situation. "I pick girl character because titties. lol lol." So on and so forth. To start, he voice of the male sorcerer is absolutely intolerable. Every time he speaks all I hear is blah blah blah pretentious douchenozzle. I actually didn't realize how annoyed I could be over the voice of my character, but hot damn D4 showed me what for. I think I started picking female avatars for spellcasters because I wanted a wide range of characters on the games that I played. Different jobs for different people, eh? Didn't quite seem appropriate to have a small female avatar swinging around a 50 pound axe with deadly speed and precision, so if I was playing a warrior class I'd pick a male character just because it made logical sense to me. Also in D2 there wasn't an option for male or female classes... or even customization of your character. The sorceress was the sorceress and she was always a she and always looked the same. Simpler times. No choices. Perhaps that plays into all of this as well. There's also something to be said for the "vessel" always being female. In this case the vessel being the avatar that gives you access to the digital world, but a more relevant example is in the real world where ships are referred to and named after women. Carry me. image.png In any case we crypto maniacs know all about fizzled hype. We experience it on a cycle over and over again without fail. To the moon and back again in record time. King of the world to empire of dirt. And so my rant about D4 begins. First and foremost there is no economy. This is something I've stated many times and knew it would be like this going in, but it's still a huge disappointment. The micro-transactions are all just cosmetics you can buy in the shop directly from Blizzard Entertainment. It's basically the exact opposite of what we are trying to build here in crypto land. I suppose it was inevitable that I'd get bored and walk away from this WEB2 heap. Barring that issue it seems that the same classic mistakes were made in this iteration once again. There was a contest for getting a hardcore character to level 100. First 1000 characters to level 100 in hardcore will have their name etched into a demon statue. The contest ended a while back... I didn't make the cut because I refused to play the game like a chump (IE grinding and exploiting everything for an edge). image.png But of course the incentives didn't align. There was a bug that allowed infinite mobs to spawn in cellars and a handful of other tactics to grind XP without actually playing the game as was intended. Gamers will always find the path of least resistance, and you'd think Blizzard would have figured that out by now after decades of game development, but I guess not. If you don't specifically program in the path of least resistance then gamers are going to find the loopholes and jump through them a thousand times over. Nightmare Dungeons The most difficult task in D4 is to complete nightmare dungeons. These are regular dungeons upgraded with a special Sigil that makes them much harder. the Sigils have ranks from 1 to 100, with 100 being the hardest (level 154 mobs) and 1 being the easiest (level 54). So did Blizzard align the incentives so that players would take the biggest risks to get the best rewards? Of course not. Nightmare dungeons were simply not worth farming for any reason. This pushed players into grinding the same events over and over again in the open world or finding an exploit that would allow them to kill elites over and over again in a short period of time. Essentially this contest incentivized everyone in the race to play like a bot and just grind super safe areas and level up faster than everyone else. Worst contest ever. Just terrible. They really botched it on so many levels. Endgame scaling is nonexistent. I've been in T4 tier four difficulty since level 67 (called Torment but classically referred to as "hell"), and it is so damn boring. One of the biggest reasons for this is that items do not seem to scale with the level of the mobs one kills. As soon as you jump to a harder difficulty level the item drops get exponentially better, and then just as quickly you find all the gear you need and it becomes very difficult to find upgrades even if you're leveling up. I'll be surprised if I find a single upgrade in the next 5-10 levels of gameplay... and I'm at level 87 out of 100. BORING! This is another reason why Nightmare Dungeons are totally pointless. You could be fighting mobs +10 or even +50 levels higher than you and there is absolutely no reward for doing so. You don't get more XP and you don't get better items. I swear it's like they make these stupid decisions on purpose just to annoy their fanbase. Why would you ever make a game with such stupid incentives? It's not hard: high risk = high reward. Duh. Just like everything in life. Again, not hard, but apparently they can't handle it. Two days ago they buffed nightmare dungeons by increasing the XP granted and allowing characters to teleport directly to them instead of riding on a mount from a waypoint, but it's still not even close to good enough. The item drop scaling is still terrible and the XP is still arguably not worth the risk. Completing a dungeon more than +3 your level is certainly not worth it because that's where the XP bonuses end. Bad bad bad. Completely imba gameplay There are a couple of BS cookie-cutter builds in the game that are totally overpowered and everyone is just copying from the pros. The meta is absurd. Whenever I group with a Barbarian or a Druid they just one shot everything in the room and nobody else even has a chance to do anything. Some of these abilities seem to be doing x10 more damage than everyone else, showing once again that Blizzard should be hiring game testers that actually know what they are doing. It's funny too because I bet a lot of these gamers would totally do it for free or at least peanuts. image.png image.png The Butcher There are also a few rare bosses that spawn that are also totally not worth fighting whatsoever. The most obvious example here is The Butcher. He's very hard to kill and Blizzard has even been recording the statistics of how many times he's killed players. Last time I checked it was over 3 million players dead to The Butcher. Do you get good loot for killing him? NOPE! It takes forever, he's really dangerous, and the drops are absolute trash. Again, the failure to align incentives and proper risk/reward scenarios is absolutely flabbergasting. Like honestly how can you drop the ball so badly after putting this much work into a project? It's embarrassing. Conclusion It's always nice to have a forceful wakeup call that reminds us that WEB2 simply cannot compete with WEB3 in the long run. Traditional businesses like Blizzard Entertainment have retreated back to business models that don't create economies or player engagement; they just milk the player-base for micro-transactions in the shop. WEB3 doesn't have such a luxury because WEB3 isn't owned by a centralized agent that can milk the system. A better way must be found. Once the tipping point gets reached for crypto (proper templates that actually work) it will gut the entire gaming ecosystem. A corporation can't police their own network better than a community. They can't regulate it as well. They can't pay for as many servers while maintaining profitability. They can't scale up. Upkeep is always on life-support. They can't fork because the IP forbids it. They can't compete with open systems owned by large communities. Crypto continues to have a long and frustrating journey ahead of it, but at least there is a journey to be had. The dinosaurs are content to sit on ass and continue doing what has been working for them all this time. But suddenly that strategy will stop working and they'll have no idea what to do. I'm glad to be ahead of that curve. #LEOFINANCE #HIVEGC #PROOFOFBRAIN #HIVEGAMING #DIABLO #SCALING #ENDGAME #WEB3 #NIGHTMARE 406 0 12 62.36 12 Comments michaelklinejr55 5 days ago I always have a tendency to pick a female character because I figure, if I am going to be looking and outfitting this character for an undescribable number of hours, they may as well be nice to look at. 😅 Played D1 and partially D3.

logo Is Not Getting Paid Censorship? edicted (82)in #leofinance • 5 days ago comic-freedom-speech-censorship.png This topic of discussion has been hashed and rehashed on Hive over and over and over again, but hopefully despite all that I can bring in a fresh viewpoint. At the core of this often emotional and publicly dramatic issue is the idea of: You downvoted me and that's censorship! And there are some good points to be made about why this is true. If a post gets downvoted to zero then most frontends choose to hide it from view or put it farther down the list. Getting downvoted into negative rep is the same story: entire platforms will censor your comments behind a click-wall and other users have to dig in order to see what was actually said. For every user that would have read the comment but didn't (because of the click-wall) amounts to deboosted censorship at a basic algorithmic and statistical level, kind of like getting shadow-banned or echo-chambered on a WEB2 platform (which is common for the #hive tag on Twitter). On the other side of the coin the arguments for why downvotes are NOT censorship are even better in my opinion. If you sign the message with your private key and you pay the posting cost (RCs) then the message will live on the blockchain forever and there's nothing anyone can do about it. How could such an outcome be censorship? The information is right there on chain for anyone to see. Forever. What is the definition of censorship? We must conclude that the main point of contention revolving around this issue is simply a clash around what the word "censorship" actually means (that and all the visceral emotional reactions that revolve around flag wars). There are many forms of censorship, and more often than not when two groups are arguing about these things they give "censorship" the definition that suits the argument that they happen to be making at the time. Within the context of crypto and specifically Bitcoin or any other non-social-media asset censorship resistant means being able to broadcast a message and not have that message be blocked. When we send Bitcoin to someone else using POW mining, we don't care how many people view that operation on-chain. The message was sent; the value was transferred. End of story. Censorship was thwarted. Those who issue downvotes and engage in this argument tend to employ this definition of censorship because obviously why wouldn't you? Can't be censorship because the message can be pulled up with any block explorer. Argument won. Of course this ignores the actual goal of writing a post on Hive. The goal is to get views and spread the message. When an event happens that lessens the number of people that will see the message... that is also censorship. Of course both these definitions of censorship are completely different but just so happened to be employed within the same argument by two different sides... so the usage of the word itself becomes largely meaningless. image.png There are dozens of random third-party sites out there that will tell you if you've been ghosted on web2 platforms like Twitter. Everyone on Hive seems to be in consensus that being shadow-banned is censorship. Some even go so far as to claim that these are first-amendment violations (which ends up being a bit of a stretch because they are private companies but there is still a lot of merit to the argument). When Blackrock flexes their muscle and broadcasts a message through the mainstream media and silences dissent we all agree it is censorship/propaganda. When advertisers and sponsors pull their funding because the company they are marketing through did or said something they don't like we all agree that's censorship. What I'm saying here is that there are many examples of censorship being directly correlated with the manipulation of economic incentives. And yet there are a lot of people on Hive who understand all of this quite well but continue issue downvotes under the guise of, "No I'm not censoring anything I'm just 'equalizing the reward pool'," and whatnot. That's not really an argument made in good faith... or maybe it is because of all our previous conditioning. Wrongful conditioning Users like us who are heavy into crypto pretty much across the board have basically been conditioned into thinking that all censorship is bad no matter what and all centralization is bad no matter what. However, centralization is only bad if it has led to corruption within the system, and censorship is only bad when the thing being censored shouldn't be. Nobody thinks it's a good idea for pedophiles to be able to store child-porn on the blockchain and have the data immutable for anyone to access at any time. Should we censor child-porn? Obviously yes. Who would ever even attempt to counter-point that unless they themselves were a pedophile that wanted access to child-porn? Ew. Go away. Please and thank you. The concept that censorship is bad no matter what is obviously a false pretense born from an overreaction to the legacy system we are trying to overthrow. Censorship is only bad when the entity engaged in it does it in bad faith for personal gain. Of course many downvoters on Hive get accused of this exact thing... which we have to admit is a pretty bullshit argument considering that rewards just get returned to the reward pool and that casting downvotes has a very high chance of pissing people off and creating a flag-war situation in which everyone loses money. It's very difficult if not impossible to censor content on Hive for personal gain on a financial level. The argument can be made that users with large stake are power-tripping and running around with a short-man-complex but that's another matter entirely. Who's censoring who? There's yet another vantage point to all of this as well. If I downvote someone to zero and they accuse me of censorship, I can deflect that blame onto the frontends because at the end of the day it's not my personal decision what gets curated and what doesn't. Imagine if I created a frontend for Hive that only showed content that got downvoted. After making such a product I could claim that not only was the content not censored, but it was boosted and I'm doing them a favor. That's next-level gas-lighting right there baby. And yet I'd still be in the right. The entity that controls how information is displayed on peakd.com is 100% dependent on the entity that controls peakd.com. The same is true for any Hive frontend such as hive.blog, ecency, leofinance, liketu, etc. If someone gets downvoted and deboosted from the frontends... that's really not the downvoters fault but the people running the frontends. The frontends have the ultimate say about what gets shown and in what order it will be displayed in. I've never seen someone complaining about downvotes/censorship come to terms with this reality. Such is the decentralized network of Hive. I don't make the rules. Are people who get downvoted totally full of shit? My experience with all of this is that they absolutely are a large percentage of the time. They'll spin these grand tales of persecution and censorship. They just "want to get their message out there" to help the world. Blah blah blah bullshit. They are complaining because they "lost money". It's obvious. If there was a button that flushed all blog rewards to zero for more pageviews: they wouldn't push the button. You know how I know? Because, among many other telling situations, Hive is a very small network with very small reach. You can't really get censored on Hive because the number of people that can actually read the message in the first place rounds to zero in the face of bigger web2 entities like youtube, facebook, and twitter. If the goal was the spread the message at all costs then Hive is a stupid place to be at the moment. Obviously I hope this won't be the case for long but it is what it is. I won't pretend to be blind to make a point. Conclusion Censorship has many definitions, especially when conflating the transference of wealth with social-media influence. Be mindful about what definition is being used when the topic of resistance pops up. Without fail debaters will use the definition that suits their argument without even thinking about it. Manipulating financial reward and censorship go hand in hand. This has already been proven beyond any doubt via web2 systems, gigantic hedge funds, and sponsorship/funding issues. The scientific method itself has been grossly manipulated by capitalism in this exact way. Frontends have the ultimate say in all things curation. If leofinance decides to start running a 24/7 feed of cute cat videos nobody can stop @khaleelkazi from doing it. There's an extreme disconnect in the understanding of how this all works. Frontends are not required to create a trending tab payed on post payouts. They can do whatever the hell they please. All censorship is not bad. Censorship is great, and that's going to become more and more apparent as crypto grows in strength and all kinds of crazy uncensorable content is floating around. Mark my words: be careful what you wish for. The Wild West of crypto isn't winding down. It's winding up. The regulators that think they are going to reign in the entire ecosystem are self-important dinosaurs at the end of their rope. #proofofbrain#censorship#resistance#web2#web3#social-media#downvotes#curation 5 days ago in #leofinance by edicted (82)$59.51 480 votes Reply 15 Sort: Trending [-] crootin (58) 5 days ago Wouldn't say a downvote is censorship at all. It's a reputational hit, for sure within this realm. Content that gets upvotes or an upvote from a prominent HP holder tends to become more viral and possibly most importantly - read. A post with only 5 upvotes and generating less than .01 HBD after 12 hours is likely being read by only 1-2 people maximum. If I see a prominent community member upvote a post of mine, I generally know that I'll see a lot of tag-along botted upvotes to follow and that there will be people who choose to read it since it hits trending or hot. The content on here is generally all over the place and the quality varies GREATLY, but the upvotes do not necessarily reward quality or anything that would necessarily spark discussion. One of the limitations is that some of the content would be more suited for a blockchain version of Instagram rather than a blog post. The forced interconnected nature of the community is something that needs to be addressed to improve the quality of this experience. PeakD/Hive.Blog should be more like a blockchain answer to Medium/SubStack. In a way, the centralization effort of OCD has done more harm than good in this case. Breaking up the content and promoting different avenues that are within the Hive blockchain is the way to go. Some communities/tribes may be wise to reinvent themselves rather than just merely being a carbon copy of what already exists, but with a separate token to be earned. $0.11 3 votes Reply [-] antisocialist (72) 5 days ago the centralization effort of OCD has done more harm than good Gangs benefit their leaders the most, and disadvantage everybody not willing to join.

There are authoritative lexicons that have provided the definition for centuries. Censorship is the suppression of speech. Simple. Censorship is necessary to Hive, because it is the mechanism by which spam, scams, and plagiarism are prevented. That's why the front ends put up a click wall when reputation drops to zero, because that hides the spam, scams, and plagiarism. Opinion flagging abuses these mechanisms that protect Hive and is harmful. Oligarchs that abuse these mechanisms do profit from it, because oligarchs extract the majority of rewards from the pool. Most of the rewards they deny the censored end up in their wallets. This has dramatically prevented Hive from growing, and this has caused outside interest in the platform to wane, which protects the big fish in our little pond from the vastly bigger fish that would swallow it up, as Steem proved. I agree with your conclusion, but note the dinosaurs own the only means for crypto to transact. If your wallet is a key that unlocks your crypto, the internet is the keyhole it must navigate through to do so.

I have seen that it is used as a weapon against certain individuals. Then, it is not about the information anymore but a group with enough power to downvote articles with the purpose of harming the author. I, therefore, agree with you that it is very sensitive and must be used with good reason.

Someone could make a front end that ignores downvotes. There is this that shows who has been hit the most. We get plenty of feuds here. Some big accounts can expect to have any post sent to zero. We can't do much about that, but as a DV is more expensive than an upvote there should be limits to the damage. Front ends may need to block stuff if it breaks local laws where they host the site. Images are off-chain and those who host them can delete if they deem it necessary. It seems Twitter is blocking some content that may be considered political opinion, so Musk must be in favour of that. They will get take-down notices all the time for various stuff. BTW On St--m my account appears to have no posts or comments as they blocked it for my criticism of the company. $0.00Reply [-] artgrafiken (70) 10 hours ago Hello @edicted , What's my down vote category? https://peakd.com/hive-150329/@artgrafiken/nwo-intelligent-life https://peakd.com/hive-110786/@artgrafiken/nwo-haters https://peakd.com/hive-122315/@artgrafiken/nwo-brave https://peakd.com/hive-110786/@artgrafiken/nwo-coinkydink-rw3c5w $0.00Reply [-] hugolazar (-11)(1) 5 days ago $0.00Reveal Comment [-] cwow2 (71) 5 days ago Wow, nice scam! $0.00Reply and hold a clip to pin it.

Best low supply cryptocurrencies in 2023 avatar of @forexbrokr 74 Dane @forexbrokr • 2 months ago LeoFinance Badge 4 min read Direct from the desk of Dane Williams. My list of popular limited supply cryptocurrencies that you could buy in 2023. It’s something we see here on LeoFinance every day. Everyone seemingly has developed a fixation on low supply cryptocurrencies. The idea behind this is that a limited supply of tokens can increase the scarcity of the asset, which may lead to price appreciation. We all get that side of it. But while this can be an advantage, it's important to note that a cryptocurrency's success is not solely dependent on its low supply. Other factors, such as the technology behind the cryptocurrency and its adoption rate, also play a crucial role in making price increase. In this blog post, I’m going to explore some of the best low supply cryptocurrencies to buy in 2023, before discussing why buying cryptocurrencies with limited supply can be a good investment strategy. But not the only factor to consider! 5 low supply cryptocurrencies to buy In this section, I’ll discuss five low supply cryptocurrencies that investors could consider buying in 2023. Yep, these are the top cryptocurrencies with a limited supply, making them potentially scarce assets that could increase in value over time. 1. Quant (QNT) Quant (QNT) is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency that aims to connect different networks, making it easier to transfer data and value between them. Its maximum supply is capped at 14.6 million tokens, which gives it a nice level of scarcity compared to most other coins in the top 200. The market cap of QNT is around $1.5 billion, indicating investor interest in its potential to bridge different blockchain networks and facilitate interoperability. My clear choice at number 1. 2. Aave (AAVE) Aave (AAVE) is a decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol that enables users to lend, borrow and earn interest on cryptocurrencies without intermediaries. With a limited maximum supply of 16 million tokens, AAVE's scarcity could make it an attractive investment opportunity. As of recently, the market cap of AAVE is approximately $1 billion, indicating its popularity among investors. I love AAVE’s low supply, but also the fact it has genuine utility meaning you get the best of both worlds. 3. Monero (XMR) Monero (XMR) is my favourite privacy-focused cryptocurrency that enables anonymous transactions. Its maximum supply is capped at 18.4 million tokens, which gives it a level of scarcity unseen in other major coins. Monero has a market cap of around $2.8 billion which says to me that privacy coins have a real future, no matter what regulators say. 4. Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first cryptocurrency, with a maximum supply of 21 million tokens. While it is not technically a low supply cryptocurrency, the limited supply and high demand have contributed to its value growth over the years so I couldn’t leave it off my list. Bitcoin's market cap is approximately $500 billion, reflecting its position as the most valuable and widely adopted cryptocurrency in the market. Bitcoin is Bitcoin. Enough said. 5. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain that aims to improve transaction speed and lower transaction fees. Its maximum supply is capped at 21 million tokens, similar to Bitcoin. At the moment, Bitcoin Cash has a market cap of around $2.3 billion, indicating that the much maligned fork of the original, really isn’t going anywhere. If Bitcoin made my list, then Bitcoin Cash has a large enough market cap to ensure it makes the list too. Is it better to buy crypto with limited supply? As I mentioned above, we know investors have a weird fixation on cryptocurrencies with a limited supply, as they believe that scarcity can drive up the asset's value. The idea behind this is that a limited supply can create a sense of rarity, increasing demand and ultimately leading to price appreciation. However, it's important to keep in mind that a cryptocurrency's success is not solely dependent on its supply. Low or high supply, it's the technology behind a cryptocurrency that’s the real factor behind driving value. A cryptocurrency with innovative features, such as faster transaction speeds, enhanced security or increased scalability will always have a greater chance of success. Additionally, a cryptocurrency's adoption rate is also critical. The more people and businesses that use a cryptocurrency, the more valuable it becomes. While a limited supply can create a sense of scarcity, there are also some downsides to investing in low supply cryptocurrencies. One potential issue is that a low supply can make the asset vulnerable to market manipulation. It's also important to consider the distribution of the tokens. If a large percentage of the tokens are held by a small group of investors, they may have the power to influence the price of the asset. Centralisation is always a risk. Final thoughts on low supply cryptocurrencies As you can see, whether it's better to buy a cryptocurrency with a limited supply depends on a variety of factors. If you’re going to buy a low supply cryptocurrency in 2023, make sure you still do thorough research on the technology, adoption rate and distribution of tokens before blindly buying on max supply alone. By considering these factors, you can at least make an informed decision before you lose your money. Best of probabilities to you.

I know it's a defi platform but is there any benefits to having AAVE? Posted Using LeoFinance Beta 1 1 $0.06 avatar of @forexbrokr 74 Dane @forexbrokr 2 months ago The AAVE token is used for governance of their platform, as well as collateral for loans (if you choose). It's definitely one of the tokens with actual utility in the top 50. Posted Using LeoFinance Beta 0 0 $0.00 avatar of @takhar 61 Takhar @takhar 2 months ago Max supply is a good metric that investors look into before investing in a cryptocurrency. I feel small or mid max supply in some way limits the utility of a cryptocurrency. However, having a cryptocurrency that's good at only one or two things can be an edge. Montero is also my favourite privacy coin. 2 1 $0.06 avatar of @forexbrokr 74 Dane @forexbrokr 2 months ago Low supply is a metric that many people look at. But hopefully the takeaway from this post is that it shouldn't be the only thing you take into consideration before buying. Posted Using LeoFinance Beta 1 0 $0.00 avatar of @takhar 61 Takhar @takhar 2 months ago Right. There's more to investing than meets the eye.
