🪙Crypto critic Peter Schiff regrets not buying BTC in 2010.

American financier and head of broker firm Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff admitted that he “made a big mistake” when he decided not to invest in Bitcoin.

It’s hard not to be affected by FOMO in the current market, isn’t it?😅

Over the years, Schiff has regularly criticized Bitcoin, deeming it worthless and generally referring to the asset as a Ponzi scheme.

He has known of the coin’s existence since 2010 and even considered buying it, but then decided the asset had no value.

However, Schiff remains consistent and still considers Bitcoin worthless, but he still really regrets that he did not buy it 14 years ago.

Crypto Speak: Wholecoiner

A “wholecoiner” is a person who has at least exactly 1 whole BTC. Considering that the world’s population is already at 8 billion and there will be 21 million Bitcoin in total (of which analysts believe 3 million–5 million is lost forever), there won’t be enough Bitcoin for everyone.

Think about about that…😅🚀

💻BlackRock met with the SEC and went straight to the point: staking must be included in any real ETH ETF.

They claim that without staking, returns are lost and investor value is diluted.
They also pitched tokenization of real assets.
Their $2.9B BUIDL fund already operates on the blockchain — showing how it can be done cheaper and faster.

With ETH demand rising and institutions making moves, this could mark a shift in the market.

Crypto Speak: PoS

We've talked about Proof of Work (PoW) before, now let's discuss Proof of Stake (PoS).

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks to validate and confirm transactions. In a PoS system, validators are chosen to create new blocks and secure the network based on the number of coins they hold and are willing to "stake" as collateral.

Validators take turns proposing and validating new blocks, with the chance of being chosen to create a new block being proportional to the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to stake.

PoS is considered more energy-efficient than Proof of Work (PoW) and is used by bloc

Understanding Web Wallets

Web wallets offer the convenience of accessing your cryptocurrency funds from anywhere, at any time, through a web browser. They store your private keys on a remote server, allowing you to manage your funds online. However, this convenience comes with a risk of hacking or unauthorized access. To mitigate this risk, choose a reputable web wallet provider with robust security measures like two-factor authentication and encryption.

Here's an example: Let's say you create an account with a web wallet provider and deposit 1 Bitcoin (BTC). You can then use your username and password to log in and access your account balance, send and receive BTC, and perform other wallet functions. When you send BTC from your web wallet, the transaction is signed with your private key and broadcast to the blockchain network for validation. Once confirmed, the recipient receives the funds in their wallet.

Remember to only keep manageable amounts of cryptocurrency in a web wallet and prefer to store larger amounts in more secure offline wallets. Stay safe and secure in the world of cryptocurrency!
