It has been very hard to hodl with all of this in my ear. Your post was a great reminder that these currencies help solve current day problems and therefore do hold value. I imagine the value of the strongest handful of coins will be pretty remarkable considering any average joe can buy or sell. I also think  millennials  are going to keep it going. The majority of people 18-34 aren’t invested in the stock market and I think cryptos are going to keep a lot of that money from going there. Us  millennials  have trust issues and blockchain is much more trustworthy than wall street.",

Cryptocurrencies are unique in that matter since their characteristics of <strong>governance</strong>,<strong> supply schedule</strong>,<strong> use cases</strong> and<strong> basis of value</strong> are varying from each other.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>For example,&nbsp;you can’t say that Ethereum is the same as Bitcoin even if they both make use of cryptography and are blockchain-based assets. There are <em>cryptocurrencies</em> (bitcoin, litecoin), <em>cryptocommodities</em> (ether, lisk) and <em>cryptotokens</em> (like REP token that values reputation on Augur system that was built on top of Ethereum platform).&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>It’s an emerging asset class and it’s hard to strictly describe it. </strong>That’s why you should always investigate the monetary policy of any cryptoasset before throwing your money into it. Make sure it makes sense in the long-term perspective.&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>Okay, so why they are so volatile?</blockquote>\n<p>That kind of assets is priced by market dynamics of supply and demand.Cryptoassets’ value is determined by two components:&nbsp;</p>\n<h2><strong>Utility</strong></h2>\n<p>I believe the best way to describe this component would be to quote a fragment from the book (yes, I was too lazy to describe this in my own words and it was also too well described already):&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>Utility value refers to what the underlying blockchain is used for, and therefore what the demand is for its asset. For example, Bitcoin’s blockchain is used to transact bitcoin and therefore much of the value is driven by demand to use bitcoin as a means of exchange. Similarly, bitcoin can be used as a store of value, so a percentage of the bitcoin outstanding is demanded for that use case. All these use cases temporarily bind bitcoin, drawing it out of the supply of bitcoin outstanding. The more that people want to use bitcoin, the more they’ll have to pay to get access to it.&nbsp;</blockquote>\n<blockquote><em>from Chapter 8: Defining Cryptoassets as a New Asset Class</em>&nbsp;</blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Speculation</strong></h2>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies’ age is under decade old, we can’t say how most of them will develop. This is where the speculation comes to play.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Speculative value is defined by people trying to predict future adoption of an asset. It’s cooling down as asset’s certain maturity or milestone is reached.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The younger cryptoasset is, the more speculative capability it has. Other than that what also has an impact is the development team. People tend to trust and believe in team’s vision if they seem to be legit and genuine with the community.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This chart below presents how utility value grows over time and speculation diminishes.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/screenshot_2017-12-09-17-27-35.png?w=1700\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"/></p>\n<p>A good example to quote in my opinion is EOS.</p>\n<p>EOS’ platform is under development so it doesn’t exist yet. But people are speculating on its price (and vision) pretty heavily. Over $2 billion of market capitalization is quite huge I must admit.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I wish I knew all the things that I write here before so I wouldn’t sell my EOS tokens with a loss so easily. Now I’d have to buy them multiple times more expensive. A priceless lesson for myself.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>To summarize my post I’d quote this informative fragment from the same book:&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>Benjamin Graham uses a famous example in his classic investing book \"<em>The Intelligent Investo</em>r\", where he personifies the market as Mr. Market, who is prone to oscillation between dark and ebullient moods. When Mr. Market is dark, he’ll throw assets around, damaging their value to beneath their utility value. When Mr. Market is ebullient, he’ll pay most any price for assets, driving them far above their utility value with hefty speculative premiums. Mr. Market is a fictional representation of the movement of crowds, and Graham suggests that investors do their fundamental work on the asset and from there ignore the moods of Mr. Market.&nbsp;</blockquote>\n<p>Stay aware traders &amp; investors as well as don’t let your emotions overcome your wisdom!&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",

In fact, they’re still doing it, but as the time goes on the possibilities and ways of storing wealth has changed.<br>\nThere’s a new emerging asset class on the horizon called <em>Cryptoassets</em>. Those assets’ transcripts are based solely on cryptography and certain math rules — that means you can’t touch them or see in a physical form (kinda). Your cryptocurrencies are being held in the special wallet and there are no banks to take care of your funds, so it’s in your own interest to make sure that your investments are protected accurately. <strong>You are your own bank.</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I will characterize very briefly each type of wallet and give you a clue about the best options to keep your funds on. I won’t dive deep into every detail as there’s already numerous technical characterizations of each type of wallet on the web.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>exchange wallet</h3>\n<p>This is the riskiest one and it’s where the majority of people are keeping their funds at. <a href=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/research-a-third-of-bitcoin-exchanges-have-been-hacked/\">Research</a> is saying that about 33% of all bitcoin exchanges have been hacked. In my opinion, the only reason you want to keep any funds there would be to have quick access to trading. If you’re not trading you shouldn’t keep any of your investments here at all. And even if you’re indeed doing it then please do not leave all of your money there. My advice would be to keep (and use) up to 20–50% of your funds for the trading purpose.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>mobile wallet</h3>\n<p>I wouldn’t recommend this type of wallet to anyone because smartphones are generally speaking very insecure devices open to malware or keyloggers. Keep only small amounts that you actually intend to use.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>software wallet</h3>\n<p>More secure option since you’ve got total control over your cryptocurrencies. You must be aware though to not let any malware compromise your <em>wallet.dat</em> file. Encryption is highly recommended for safety reasons. You should do backups on a regular basis because when your computer or hard drive will break, your funds will disappear.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>hardware wallet</h3>\n<p>The best option for keeping your investments. There are two leading products — Ledger Nano S and Trezor — both are great, there are few differences between them though. If you want to pick the best product for yourself then do your own research. I highly recommend every cryptoasset investor to buy one as it is the safest and most secure but at the same time quite flexible wallet.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>cold wallet</h3>\n<p>Also known as an offline wallet. You simply print public and private keys on the piece of paper. More trouble with moving your money around but it’s probably the safest option to store your value. The security concern I’d address to is the fact that when you generate wallet address and keys on your computer which is connected to the Internet, then there’s a slight possibility that malware on your PC has taken a screenshot of your private key which will ultimately lead to thievery of your funds. Your best bet would be to generate your address on the downloaded&nbsp;.html page and you’d best do it on a computer that was never connected to the Internet. Then print your cold wallet with your own printer. If you don’t have one do not ever go to xerox points in order to print it, you should alternatively ask someone who you really trust and who’s technologically aware to do it for you.<br>\nAnother option is that you can write down the keys on the piece of paper (make sure to not make any mistake though) or use a tool like <em>Cryptosteel</em> (which is immune to external dangers like water or fire in comparison to paper).&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So, as I covered all types of wallets I want to hand you some common sense approach and tips regarding your crypto investments:</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>don’t brag about your investments to anyone/anywhere. You may become a target of cyber assault or worse — a victim of physical assault in extreme cases</li>\n  <li>keep your seed passphrase, cold wallet or any other confidential information that appear to be in a physical form in the place that only you know about or have access to. If anyone will reach them then they’ll reach your money too.</li>\n  <li>do not share access to your data with anyone, unless you REALLY trust that person</li>\n  <li>use browser extension like <em>MetaMask</em> for extra safety in order to avoid scam and phishing sites</li>\n</ul>\n<p>That’s it. Thanks for reading my post, I hope you’ve found these tips helpful.&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/1.png\n\nIt’s a well-known fact that keeping your funds on a cryptocurrency exchange isn’t the safest option but it provides liquidity of funds and that’s exactly what you need whilst trading.\n\nIn this article, I will describe how you can protect yourself using various available methods. Keep in mind though that not all of those mechanisms are available on every exchange. Without further ado let’s get started:\n\nhttps://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled.png\n\nFirst things first you always have to login in order to change settings for your account. Make sure you do it correctly though. Login to websites that starts with <strong><em>https://</em></strong>. HTTPS is an encrypted version of HTTP protocol which prevents capturing and changing data that you’re sending to the server. I recommend using an extension for your browser like “HTTPS Everywhere”.\n\nAlso, be aware of phishing sites that may steal your logging data, you should check if the website address is correct.\n\nAnother thing to avoid is accessing your exchange accounts from public WiFi spots without a strong encryption like WPA-2 protocol.\n\nFor extra safety, you can also consider creating email address dedicated to the certain site and never share it with anyone. Although if you gonna use your regular email address, you should enable 2FA when logging in (especially for Google accounts).\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-131\" src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled-1.png\" alt=\"untitled (1)\" width=\"800\" height=\"260\" />\n\nThe most common way to add extra security to your account is enabling Two Factor Authentication (2FA) where you simply receive a disposable code for certain purpose. Depending on the exchange you’re using the options may vary from email, SMS or other app generating unique codes that are being used during certain activities. It’s up to you which one you will choose, but I recommend using Google Authenticator mobile app which generates disposable code every 30 seconds.\n\nIf you decide to enable Google Authenticator code on your exchange account, you will receive a unique QR code (or a line with random digits and letters to enter manually) that you need to scan with your smartphone app or a browser extension like “Authenticator” for Chrome.\n\n<b>Important note</b>: make sure you made a backup screenshot of said code (preferably on pendrive or encrypted on your computer) because if your app will break and lose all its data you will still be able to recover it on your own without contacting support! \n\nThe most common 2FA use cases: logging in, withdrawals, changing the password.\n\nYou may also want to set up security questions. The possibilities there are endless and it’s all up to your creativity. My advice tho will be to create questions of which only you know answers.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-132\" src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled-2.png\" alt=\"untitled (2)\" width=\"800\" height=\"260\" />\n\nIf you wanna be extra cautious you can enable notifications about details such as account successful/unsuccessful login attempts, logins from different IP addresses or withdrawal details.\n\nBut if you don’t want your mailbox to be flooded with emails every time you log in or make a transaction then don’t select every checkbox possible.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-133\" src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled-3.png\" alt=\"untitled (3)\" width=\"800\" height=\"260\" />\n\nSome exchanges offer you enabling PIN password that you can create on your own. It simply consists of few digits, the length of this number may vary depending on exchange security standards (it’s usually 4-6 digits).\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134\" src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled-4.png\" alt=\"untitled (4)\" width=\"800\" height=\"260\" />\n\nIf you have static IP address then whitelisting it will be your best bet, so no one from the outside can ever login to your account. You most likely will be also able to specify your IP range. Keep in mind you won't be able to login from your smartphone then.\n\nWithdrawing settings are very important when available. You can, for example, send your funds only via chosen IP or instantly lock your withdrawals when new IP address is used and receive notification about the potentially suspicious activity.\n\nSome exchanges have also an option to enable special confirmation image where you have to enter confirmation number that appeared there.\n\nWhitelisting your withdrawal addresses is one step forward towards your security. You can whitelist your private wallet address. Even if you somehow mistype one letter when sending cryptocurrencies, you won’t be able to send your funds anyway so ultimately you won’t lost any money. There should be also an option to turn off withdrawals for certain coins.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-135\" src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/untitled-5.png\" alt=\"untitled (5)\" width=\"800\" height=\"260\" />\n\nIt’s highly advised that during a single login session you will be automatically logged out when you won’t perform any actions after the certain period of time. If you have that option available make sure to turn it on. \n\nOn most exchanges you will have access to all of your activity, which includes login attempts/withdrawals history on your account - you can review this section occasionally to make sure nothing suspicious has ever happened.\n\n<b>Summary:</b>\n\nThe level of security you choose depends on your own comfort with the money you keep on exchange wallets. Just think if you really want to go through few different authentication processes while logging into your account with $5 worth of investments and you’d do it at least twice a day? That would be too much of a hassle for you. On the other hand, it will be foolish to login only using password on the account worth $10 000, isn’t it?\n<blockquote><i>Which cryptocurrency exchange should I choose?</i></blockquote>\nThe one that has most security options and stores your money in cold wallets (offline wallets). A good reputation is also a thing to look up to. Although those exchanges have often higher fees to provide for themselves, so it’s up to you if you want to pay a higher price for extra safety or play a calculated risk game.\n\nYou should also keep as much money on trading sites as you can afford to lose, a good idea will be to spread your funds on at least two different exchanges. If you have some significant amount of cryptos that are valuable to you (and don’t wanna lose it), then send them to your private software/hardware wallet (with access to your private key) in order to make sure you’re safe. Even then you have to be aware of all kinds of traps where your money can be stolen or lost depending on the type of wallet you have chosen, but that’s a whole different topic to talk about.\n\nI hope you've found these tips helpful, happy trading!",

Especially if you're a newcomer or struggling with daily withdrawal limits you will have to show your real ID card in order to verify your account.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Most of us may use decentralized exchanges in the future, but technology isn't quite there yet. First projects like 0x Protocol or Kyber Network are rarely emerging. The most popular decentralized exchange right now, which is EtherDelta, offer only ERC20 tokens trading (i.e. no BTC, LTC or XMR trading for instance).&nbsp;</p>\n<p>More to the point, if you intend to send scans of your ID which contains all of your unique personal data you should first ensure <strong>what kind of information is actually required?</strong> In most cases, your first/middle/last name will be needed along with the date of your birth and address. It may differ depending on which exchange site you're doing it.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Next step is to simply <strong>censor all of your data that you weren't asked for</strong>. It may include your photo or signature. Whatever it is - just censor it!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Why? Because in the case when your data has leaked or stolen somehow, you won't be fully vulnerable (if any person is in possession of scans of your ID then he/she can, for example, take a loan on behalf of you).&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Another good thing to do is to <strong>include a small annotation</strong> on scans of your photos that says something like \"For the purpose of account verification on [EXCHANGE_NAME]\". You can do it using MS Paint or any other graphics editing software. Make sure you don't cover necessary information.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Why even do this? Well, in case of data leakage, if it will come to the judicial procedure it will be clear where does it come from. Other than that, people will get to know about it and won't trust certain exchange again and I believe that motivates them to really tweak security for their customers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Last but not least, if you really want to make sure you're safe - take care of <strong>Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF)</strong> by removing it. That's the set of metadata in an edited image, that means when you have needed tools you can see what image looked like before it was edited.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cryptodaro.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/gif1.gif?w=714&amp;zoom=2\" width=\"1428\" height=\"472\"/></p>\n<p>source of images: <em>Google Images</em> and edited by myself</p>\n<p>You should remember that it's important to remain cautious when it comes to sharing your personal data online. Considering the fact that we're living in technologically advanced society, cybersecurity should be important for you.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Other than that, do you gonna verify your account or remain to trade with unverified one with some limitations, or perhaps you wait for the rise of decentralized exchanges?&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",
