Covesting Highlights Increased Utility of COV token in 2022 Roadmap

Covesting, a European licensed DLT services provider and B2B software developer, has further highlighted the functionality and of its COV token in a new 2022 roadmap that further spells out more utility for the token.  After successful launch of its peer-to-peer copy trading module on PrimeXBT earlier in the year Covesting went on to launch the full implementation of its COV token utility and functionality for users of the copy trading module to take advantage of. Now, as the company starts to look ahead to 2022, with a newly released roadmap, there is additional utility users can expect from the token next year.  However, the other news from the firm is that it is launching a aYield accounts service, which allows users with minimal technical expertise to participate in the DeFi staking economy and earn a variable APY interest rate on their idle crypto holdings with only a single click.  The Yield Account Service is built as a standalone software module that is available to third-party platforms for integration. This was the case with PrimeXBT, who have already implemented this service on their platform.  Covesting Future Roadmap Revealed In the roadmap, there are certain mentions of new functionalities with COv, as well as other plans and even a look back on the growth through 2021.  Covesting mentions that firstly, it will be allowing more users the chance to take advantage of the benefits of the COV token by reducing the required amount of tokens required for membership activation. Advanced memberships will become $250, while Premium memberships will become $2,000, and Elite memberships will drop to $20,000 equivalent in COV tokens. Additionally, there will be the ability to create COV-denominated strategies and followers will be able to follow these COV token-denominated strategies with COV. To make COV an attractive base currency, followings and strategies denominated in COV will receive a higher profit share, with 75% and 25% respectively, explains Covesting.  PrimeXBT platform users will be able to open margin trading accounts using COV as the base currency and margin collateral, which will automatically enable 25% on all trading fees while using COV-denominated accounts. And, copy-trading platform followers will receive a higher profit distribution depending on their COV membership tier, rather than initial following equity. Covesting also states that if COV is chosen as the preferred payout currency, the maximum profit share of 75% for followers and 25% for strategy managers will be applied. And finally, elite Covesting members will receive an opportunity to stake their COV tokens in Covesting Yield Accounts and get access to daily rewards. Moving forward Covesting have also highlighted their journey since their inception in 2017 to a fully functional feature that generates millions of dollars in profits for followers. This past year they have continued to improve and implement changes for the betterment of their users.  They have added  several updates to the copy trading module aimed at creating a safer environment for all users. A max following limit was introduced as well as grades, a public margin utilization chart, and a stop-loss feature for followers. There has also been a focus on community feedback as Covesting state they made updates  based on user data, community feedback, and Covesting team innovations.For example, one update they mention to the margin allocation chart makes the data more digestible and actionable.  A verified status has also been added for strategy managers who have passed KYC and a take-profit feature lets followers lock their unrealized gains.

What’s with all the panic?

I don't understand all of the panic when we've been range-bound for almost the entire month of December (unless you've been using excessive leverage). I don't think we should be panicking unless there's been a significant break to the downside. https://preview.redd.it/g5mh1mpnyb881.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b4d89700c93bc0a8a74ff1c4e7a8cd8409bcc55 It's possible that 2022 could continue into an even steeper bear market.

DOGE Plunges 9% As Creator Reveals How Much He Holds In This Cryptocurrency

Billy Markus, creator of popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) has disclosed his holding in this cryptocurrency. Via his Twitter account under the user Shibetoshi Nakamoto, Markus addressed his role on the project and replied to questions made by other users. Related Reading | Tesla To Accept Dogecoin For Merchandise, Token Soars 30% Markus and Jackson Palmer co-created DOGE back in 2013 as a parody to Bitcoin. Since its inception the cryptocurrency has gained popularity and hence increased its value from well below the $0.010 to an all-time high north of $0.70 providing many earlier supporters of this project, and those that hype in due to Elon Musk’s tweets, with massive gains. DOGE’s surge in 2021, the attention it has received from retail investors, Musk and crypto personalities have made Markus’ twitter account one of the most recognizable and with the most followers. The co-inventor of the Shiba Inu inspired cryptocurrency has had to constantly remind new investors that he is no longer involved with the Dogecoin project. As he revealed his DOGE holding, far less that what many would have assumed, Shibetoshi Nakamoto claimed the following: Yet another reminder: I don’t speak for dogecoin. I am not on the project. I am a community member. I hold about 220k doge. I will defend those who I feel are actively making the space better. I will discourage those who I feel aren’t. I will talk about whatever I want. Markus lives up to the spirit of DOGE, he avoids “entitlement” and claims to be all about this crryptocurrency’s community supported by volunteers. Thus, Markus told his followers that he “will never” go back to coding DOGE, he has been very open on his stance about the crypto industry and related projects: (…) working on a crypto project is terrible as I have actually found the more you do for people, the more entitled they get and worse they treat you. I respect the developers a lot for volunteering to do so for all these years. DOGE Advances On The Back Of Its Community? The Dogecoin project is support via the Dogecoin Foundation, brought back on August 16th, 2021, with the help of Elon Musk, and Vitalik Buterin, the inventor of Ethereum. This non-profit organization published a trailmap for DOGE. Related Reading | Elon Musk Sells Tesla Shares For $5B. Will He Buy Dogecoin? Billy Musk is part of said foundation in the role of “community and memes” advisor alongside Jared Birchall, a representative for Elon Musk, Buterin, and Max Keller a Dogecoin core developer. According to the the trailmap, Dogecoin is bound to receive more use cases and implementations in the future. In the meantime, DOGE has been correcting in the 24-hours as the general sentiment in the market turns bearish and major cryptocurrencies bleed into critical support. Dogecoin lost its spot in the crypto top 10 by market cap but remains one of the 20 most valuable projects in the crypto space.

Crypto isn’t about making money, It’s about replacing it.

In recent times the dollar / most other currencies are losing value at such a high speed that it won’t matter if BTC is $100k because your $100k then won’t be as valuable as $50k now. Governments / People in power are doing so much illegal and wrong shit and as normal citizens it’s impossible…

Aside from personal gain/greed, i dont see why eth should be deflationary and expensive.

Current gas fees: ~0.02 eth Gas fees at $10000: 0.02 eth x $10000 = $200 Gas fees at $4000: 0.02 eth x $4000 = $80 Gas fees at $100: 0.02 eth x $100 = $2 What is the logic in making eth deflationary and increasing its price if it disincentives actual usage? I understand from…
