Crypto Analyst: Buying Litecoin Now Is Like “2020 Ethereum”

Litecoin is in scintillating form of late, having posted a new all-time high of $410 in the early hours. After months of stuttering, LTC finally joined the likes of BTC and ETH in reaching that milestone moment during this bull run. With that, the bull case is building. Some suggest this is just the beginning, […]

Isn’t Ethereum just a democracy?

I thought the point of blockchain was to eliminate the "human" part of money and make everything trustless, but looking at Ethereum and other projects in the crypto space it seems that there are decisions made by humans in a democratic manner that influence the project and even the chain, i.e. the hard forks.

ETH 2.0 And transaction fees as Ether value increases.

I'll admit it, I am being a tad lazy here but I've been on a crypto/blockchain learning binge for like 6 weeks and I'm a bit spent. 🙂 I need to dig in a bit more to understanding gas, slippage and txn fees. But regardless of that I have a question. As the price of…

O Ravens, o Ravens, where art thou?

Hi,I hope someone can help me out. Last year, I joined a pool and mined a few hundred Ravencoins before I stopped and moved on to other things. Recently, I got fascinated by Ravencoin again, so I restored my wallet with my mnemonic seeds but the balance shows 0. I'm pretty sure I never sold…

Why doesn’t everyone use DAI instead of USDC and Tether? Are stable coins like DAI the future of stable coins?

I really wonder why DAI isn't used more. In my view DAI has really big advantages over USDC and USDT. DAI is truly decentralized, since it's not backed by usd. It creates it stable value just by smart contracts so regulating this kind of stable coin seems impossible for me. While regulating a centralized fiat…
