The amount of awful investment advice I see on this sub is making me question how much the community knows about finance, economics and how market works. No, there isn't just ONE way to profit off a dip. DCA isn't "the only way". Neither is selling now and jumping back in when it drops another…

General Conclusion Risk is one of the most prominent issues in traditional financial markets. In particular, risk helps investors to quantify a specific number representing an asset value, in order to assess whether that level of risk is acceptable. In DeFi, however, risk is often undervalued as the majority of participants do not fully appreciate…

Smart contracts have been in the crypto space for quite a while now, most recently debuting on Cardano. With the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts have become even more important to the entire industry. This is because they are required to build the protocols on which these decentralized applications (DApps) run on. As they have grown in popularity, smart contracts platforms like Ethereum and Solana have recorded great success with them. Cardano has been working on bringing smart contracts to its network for a while and on September 12th, that dream became a reality with the final launch of the Alonzo Hard Fork Combinator (HFC). The arrival of smart contracts capability on the network was widely celebrated in the industry. But now, Founder Charles Hoskinson does not believe the term does justice to what Cardano actually does. Related Reading | Why The Hydra Layer 2 Solution Is Important To The Cardano Network The disagreement with the term smart contracts comes after a user pointed out that what Cardano does is actually very different from smart contracts. The user, @_KtorZ_, pointed out that the network deviates from what established smart contracts platforms do, referring to the network as “atypical.” Compared to most existing smart-contract platforms, Cardano takes a much different road. Recently, we've seen a lot of discussions going on about “concurrency issues” and “EUTXO vs accounts”. While equally expressive, Cardano programmability is different and atypical. — KtorZ (@_KtorZ_) September 18, 2021 Cardano Does Not Have Smart Contracts Hoskinson posted a tweet wherein he agreed with the user pointing out that the term smart contracts do not do justice to what the platform does. Instead agreeing that a new term is needed instead of smart contracts to describe the network’s capabilities. This new term which the founder had agreed with is programmable validators. Agreeing with the user who pointed it out, this term better describes Cardano’s programmability.

Programmable validators instead of smart contracts https://t.co/8VVESJ8MYU — Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) September 19, 2021 ADA price falls to $2.1 range | Source: ADUSD on TradingView.com Explaining further, the user pointed out that unlike existing platforms like Ethereum and Solana, one could not just deploy a smart contract on Cardano. “Instead, validators are implicitly referred to by hashes prior to their use, and they are disclosed upon activation,” the user said. Meaning that the validators do not produce anything on the network. All they actually do is “just validate.” In closing, KtorZ explained that the term “smart contracts” felt like an imprecise term. “I’d prefer more specific terms such as ‘on-chain validators’ and ‘off-chain code.’ If anything, ‘smart-validators’ sounds already much better to me,” they added.

So I’m having an issue where I have matching cards with matching settings, but the hashrate is completely different on some of the cards. I understand not all cards are created equal and all that, but we’re talking 24MH to 28.5MH. It’s on hiveOS and don’t really know what to do. No matter the settings…
