Battle of the Crypto Derivative Platforms
Spot trading is fun, but sometimes I'm looking for more action, especially when I want to go "short" without necessarily trading my $BTC/$ETH for $USDC and the like.
What is your preferred platform for trading crypto derivatives / futures / perpetual contracts?
Battle of the Privacy Coins
Privacy and security are the hot words today, especially for us blockchain and crypto enthusiasts.
While using cryptocurrency for transactions often takes place in a decentralized environment -- and while it can be hard to pinpoint an individual to a ridiculously long wallet address -- transactions made w/ many mainstream cryptocurrencies and tokens will sit on a public ledger for all to see.
To walk the truly decentralized walk, some communities have built crypto like Monero and Zcash that give users both a "transparent" and "shielded" address; while others, Dash for instance, build a 2nd blockchain layer to allow for enhanced privacy-focused options like their "PrivateSend" feature.
So, which one do you prefer?
Preferred Privacy Search Engine
Google is our favorite love-hate relationship to have; yet, even for us Android die-hards, there comes a point where the fingerprinting, cookies, cross-site trackers, personalized ads and general spam gets both annoying and concerning.
In your efforts to steer clear of Google, what's your preferred search engine that claims to value your privacy?
* If you go w/ the *OTHER* option, try to avoid the temptation to list Bing, Yahoo or AOL ;)
Preferred Gold-Backed Stablecoin
For all you precious metals and stablecoin lovers out there:
Diversification is par for the Investing 101 course; and, you need not be a sophomore in logic to see the benefit of including in your portfolio an asset that has never been worth $0.
With the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus, US-China trade wars, Brexit, ongoing tensions in the Middle East -- Gold has seen some nice gains as of late...and, THANKS TO BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, we can now own and trade real, physical shares of this timeless asset via our handy-dandy crypto-wallets [like their dollar-pegged counterparts, most are ERC-20, but that's not to negate the cool projects from the likes of Uphold Wallet, or even the NEO-based Novem Gold token that is in the Pre-Sale stage].
Just as we have GUSD, USDC, USDT, TUSD and PAX pegged to the $, so too can we leverage the same concept for Gold. So, what's your preferred Gold-pegged stablecoin these days?
