Author: Vi-Fi | Editors: Trewkat and WinVerse | Designer: Feems

From staking “Kraken” to CBDCs, what is the future of regulation for crypto? Author Vi-Fi spotlights the most hostile countries towards crypto. For example, Algeria, Bangladesh and China have all banned crypto. 

“Regardless of the policy approach, the common denominator between governments concerned about crypto assets is the anonymity of transactions between account holders. Some of the highlighted concerns are: Ponzi schemes, Finance for terrorist movements, and risk to the current monetary system.”

DAOs: The New Brand

Author: NF Thinker | Editor: Kornekt | Designer: Tonytad

If you’re reading this, you’re most likely familiar with the term DAO. However, not everyone has taken the time to unpack this acronym and discuss its validity and future applications in the socio-economic space. DAOs typically organize around a specific purpose. For example, LinksDAO recently bought a golf course. ConstitutionDAO made a bid on the U.S. Constitution. Decentralized bodies gathering around specific goals can be very powerful.

“Giving true fans equity means your mission will live on. Ownership gives them a chance to take more pride in delivering your message to the rest of the world. Members get to guide the organization by submitting and voting on proposals. They make conscious decisions on things like how funds should be spent, who you should partner with, and what initiatives you should take on as a group.”

NF Thinker takes us on a journey of the power of a 1,000 true fans, tokenized.

Author: tommasogualtieri.eth | Editor: Trewkat | Designer: Tonytad

In this article, the author got in touch with some of the most influential people on Crypto Twitter and asked them a few questions. People like Rektdiomedes, Crypto Ida, and The DeFi Investor were all kind enough to share their bandwidth. We talked trends, Satoshi, and web3. Don’t miss out. 

Three trends of 2023: 

1. “Increased adoption of DeFi platforms and decentralization as a whole.”

2. Ethereum scaling solutions: “It’s not a surprise that this narrative will hold on in the long term, ETH is the chain with the highest TVL by far, that however faces scalability issues.”

3. Copy trading: “An interesting narrative that isn’t much mentioned on CT but that would help millions of users to enter the market.”

Give yourself a chance to check the pulse of CT and absorb this influencer wisdom. 

Crypto Copy Trading 101

Author: K.S. Louie | Editor: Trewkat | Designer: Chameleon

I know you are but what am I? Copy cats aren’t just a way children tease one another but are also a way of understanding the crypto market. Crypto copy trading “allows you to copy the portfolio and trades of expert or skilled traders.” Just imagine if you could think like the pros. This strategy suggests that you can act like them too. 

“Copy trading allows beginning traders (and even seasoned traders!) to dive into trading immediately without developing technical trading skills. For the more skilled traders, copy trading eliminates the need to look at charts all day to make quick buy/sell decisions. It takes the emotion out of trading.”

K.S. Louie takes us on the wild ride of how to make money on other people’s smarts. (Not financial advice of course).
