How big of a “crypto-fanatic” should you be?

March 12, 2019 (updated March 12, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Ever since i started branching out a bit towards Reddit and Twitter i got a chance to familiarize myself a bit more with folks that support other cryptocurrencies.
The first thing you notice is that people arent only invested in their crypto financially, but emotionally as well. Which you could say is expected.

And as we all know, when you mix emotion and money things can get nuclear (not pronounced “nukilar”) very fast. I mean all you need to do is take a look at industry leaders like Vitalik Buterin, Justin Sun, even Dan Larimer and the FUD they spread about each others projects.
What can you expect then from the regular Reddit/Twitter/Medium commenter?

Yeah….
Massive shillings and fuding of other projects they arent invested in. This is exactly why i say that crypto markets are stupid. Because folks can be so emotionally invested and attached to a project that they cant let go even if holding that token is objectively a really bad idea.

Ive even seen organized groups that are knowingly targeting competing projects and spreading lies and misinformation about them under the mantra:

They will do it to us if we dont do it to them.
Preemptive strike of sorts.

The thing about those kinds of campaigns is that they can often work, especially when a project with serious flaws (many of them) is targeted. Or a project with already diminished reputation.
I cant say i support that kind of behavior when the motives are malicious and the information that is being spread are blatant lies….. but…..
Because i believe that all cryptocurrencies are

1. In competition together against the current monetary establishment.
2. In competition with each other.

And because both is true, the only way to win the “BIG FIGHT” (monetary independence and freedom from governmental control) is to clear our ranks, lift up projects of worth and shoot down projects with no future.

What i mean is that if it helps us and if its justified, reaching for the name of our competition that based on objective parameters does not belong in the spot in MC they are right now, is i think fine. Not only is it fine, but it should be encouraged since such action leads to a healthier overall ecosystem.

I know it might not be “nice” but when youre in the wild west, you are either the guy that carries the gun or youre the guy the others make to dance.

So go out there and spread some FUD! hahaha
Do it for STEEM and the good of Crypto!

Ill see you around. 😀

Steem Monsters starting to show balancing faults

March 11, 2019 (updated March 11, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Almost every day now ive been completing my daily quests. Currently im sitting in gold league. Im basically stuck there and there is no way for me to push forward with the cards i have.
When picking my main deck i went with fire and it seems i made a mistake. Ive talked about this before but ill repeat it again, the fire splinter (at least at my levels) is underpowered and thus underutilized. If you check the TOP BATTLES tab there is almost no one using the fire splinter.

Out of the basic summoners the most used one seems to be the life splinter.
What ive noticed getting paired up with other decks my level is that i get swept.

Absolutely no chance of making a dent. If you run into life you cant get through the shields, water has shields at that level as well as massive damage output, death splinter 1 shoots your debuffer on round 1 and counters your summoner power, etc.
Even getting some rules like “monsters lose powers” means you can lose easily to life and water decks 2 levels below you.

This wasnt the case a month or two ago when the fire splinter was much stronger. The reward cards really messed up the balance since some splinters got some amazingly strong cards while the fire splinter mostly got trash cards in comparison.
Im usually not someone to complain about stuff like this but its getting super annoying doing dailys. I have another account with the main water splinter deck with cards that are 1 level lower then my fire deck and that deck does so much better.

Im just venting a bit but i still hope someone changes something. Problem is that when i bought those cards they were much stronger in-game then they are now.

Ill see you guys later. 😉

Why is STEEM awareness so bad?

March 11, 2019 (updated March 11, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Last few weeks a number of folks started following the #steem hashtag on Twitter. I personally never used Twitter nor did i know how it works but i find myself using it much more these last few days. Mostly doing what you would call “trolling” and jumping on Steem misconceptions.
And you wouldnt believe how many of those there are.

STEEM, when mentioned in negative light is mentioned from two angles.

1. FUD – Folks mentioning it are EOS or TRON maximalists that dislike the competition so they carefully/mockingly pick their words to discredit the project. They realize that a project that has dapps that rival Ethereum dapps in users cannot stay unnoticed forever and they are threatened by that.
2. Ignorance – They are simply ignorant of the platform and are ignoring it due to some negativity they heard somewhere on some forum maybe. Maybe they remember Tone Vays spewing poison way back, maybe they dont remember last time they heard any publication write anything about STEEM. Could be many things. In cases like this its very important to educate folks.

If im being honest i am starting to see a bubble with many of these blockchains that fail to deliver anything of substance for a long time. Projects like ETC and LISK that are supposed to be dapp building platforms have neither the community nor anything created on them of note. There are a large number of platforms like that.
Crypto has had this problem of creating market powerhouses that dont have any value at the time of their listing. BTT is the latest example.
God knows what will come of that project, can TRON even sustain it and right now the token has no utility whatsoever, but has a market cap of $75 million.

There must come a tipping point where projects with actual utility, with a use case, with a community will get to the forefront and get their shot. This kind of speculation cannot go on forever.
For that very reason we need to step up and take charge spreading the word. Yes, become STEEM evangelists of sorts in any way we can. Dont get stuck on Steemit, dealing with Steemit crap, drama, politics, go out and spread the word.
Some folks will say be civil….. No…. Do not be civil when you hear someone attack your investment, fight with fact, but fight hard. There are livelihoods locked in STEEM, folks with kids, families, people from impoverished countries use STEEM… Constructive criticism is one thing, but when you hear someone FUD or lie or spread misinformation,

You need to take them down to the ground, John Cena style!

Lol. Anyways. Ill see you later guys.

This proves one thing. You just cant know these things for sure.

March 10, 2019 (updated March 10, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Like every morning i checked the STEEM page on Coinmarketcap. And one more day STEEM has been in the green. In a week STEEM has added $35 million to its market cap which is a formidable gain. It begs the question as to why that is happening. Could it be that folks are falsely expecting SMT test net on 15. March? Is it a recovery thats happening now that the STINC FUD has died down a bit? Was Steem in the oversold category? Are Korean exchanges the culprit?

Truth of the matter is that you cant know for sure.
If you can at all.

*Great to see, though im still 40% down on my investment*

Its hard to guess where we will end up going forward but im sure we wont see a major movement without the whole market recovering. Dont get me wrong. I firmly believe that STEEM has a place in the top 15 with double its Market cap, but im not sure we will see that happen. Thats actually around the price i would need to break even.
Not with all the shady business going on right now with the crypto exchanges, the favoritism and the politics of it all.
You come to crypto to escape all that just to find more of it.
But i trust that over time things will change.
You cant hype up failed projects or projects with low potential indefinitely. Even if you could, you just cant hype them up into long term success stories, no matter how hard you might try.

Anyways… Ill see you round.

BREAKING NEWS // Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto

March 9, 2019 (updated March 9, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Have you ever wondered? Have you asked yourself? Do you go nights without sleep pondering about this very question?

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

I am here to answer that question! Satoshi Nakamoto is this man below.

Now that you have been thoroughly bamboozled by my clickbait i shall commence with my post.
Just to be clear, Satoshi is most definitely not this man above. The man above is a fraud whack job….. Which leads me to the topic of the day.

What is it about cryptocurrencies that they attract weirdos and so many morally corrupt egomaniacs of questionable sanity and mental health?

Is this a question that kept you up at night? Because that one is at least as interesting as finding out who Satoshi is. (Well maybe not, lol.)
There have been pages and pages written about Craig Wright and the fraud he is. Technical incompetence, faked documents, forged signatures, plagiarism, etc.
He is mostly a joke that gets attention.
But lets move on…

Tone Vays. I literally cant think of a more obnoxious little weasel. He reminds me a bit of Wormtongue from Lord of the rings or Gargamel from the Smurfs.
I just cant stand the guy. I cant stand listening to him talk. I cant stand his domineering pushy behavior. I cant stand that awful haircut of his. He seems like the guy that has no friends and lives in a basement apartment sitting at his PC all day writing mean comments in a Youtube comment section.

How about someone more fun?

John McAfee. What can you say about the guy that pays girls to defecate in his mouth and is running for president of the United States from his yacht, while running from the IRS?
All you can say is:

Sometimes heros dont wear capes!

I could talk about Roger Ver next or Brock Pierce, but theres really no need. You get my point. The faces of crypto are very strange indeed.

How about we go a bit closer to home?

Jerry Banfield.
You all remember that guy, dont you? Self-fellatio, half naked vlogs, ridiculous claims, scammy behavior, spooky looking eyes.
If i believed in aliens id bet he was one.
Very strange…..
But where ever you look around here you find weirdos. I just ran into one very strange individual that is somehow a “community leader” on Whaleshares.
I wouldnt let him lead my neighbors dogs to the park.

And i hate my neighbor and his dogs.

On Steemit, same thing… There was drama a few days ago between two narcissistic whales. Bullies and type of folks that enjoy hurting others.
All you need to do is take a minute and look around to see what surrounds you. I could name a dozen more individuals that are influential but stand out for being people that you would actively avoid in real life.

Is crypto a digital “New World” where the degenerate, shunned, socially rejected try to finally play out their fantasies of grandeur at the expense of the normal folks?

Where they can finally be important in one way or another and achieve something that they can finally be proud of?

I think so. I think that while IRL those kinds of people make up a small percentage of the overall population, here, in the crypto world, the NORMAL to WEIRDO ratio is much closer to being 1:1.

So really… Try and stay safe, because you never know where another Jerry or a McAfee could be lurking. Lol

Ill see you around.

Brian Wilson Meets Vit Jedlicka at Anarchapulco 2019

March 9, 2019 (updated March 9, 2019) Published by LiberlandPress

Crypto Daily’s Brian Wilson was lucky enough to attend the 2019 Anarchapulco conference in Acapulco, Mexico last month. The conference brought together a bunch of like-minded libertarians in order to allow for open, honest and transparent debate within topics surrounding anarchy.

Of course, cryptocurrency falls into this – a decentralised form of value not owned or facilitated by banks or central governments, in its full essence, crypto is an anarchists dream which is why Anarchapulco hosted it’s very own crypto stage, featuring prolific individuals drafted in to discuss the beauty of crypto and blockchain technology.

We had the opportunity to meet some of these speakers, namely Vit Jedlicka, the Founder and President of the Free Republic of Liberland and a very regular guest at the annual Anarchapulco events.

Vit is the self-proclaimed president of the Freest Country on Earth, the Vit Jedlicka of Liberland and also features within a podcast series on the Anarchast website. The Free Republic of Liberland is a micronation between Croatia and Serbia and was established during the Croatia-Serbia border dispute, giving Vit the chance to offer some great insight into his views for a liberated planet.

Take a look at the video to find out more about Vit and Brian’s experience at the event and gain some wonderful insight into Vit and his great work.

Apparently North Korea holds at least $600 million in cryptocurrencies // Stolen

March 9, 2019 (updated March 9, 2019) Published by lordbutterfly

Just picked up an article online discussing the possibility of North Korea holding around $600 million in stolen crypto from exchanges in Asia. I cant verify if this is true or fake news but i still find it hilarious.
If its true…. not only are you being dumb for holding your funds on a centralized exchange but apparently your “stupidity” can lead to your money being used to fund a totalitarian regime that kills god knows how many people every year.

Because you were irresponsible with your money, your Bitcoin is now being used to buy bullets for Kim Jong Un.

Fun thought, isnt it. lol

Theres this hacker group called ” Lazarus” that is apparently working for North Korea to hit various targets. Theyve hit various banks but their main targets are crypto exchanges since most have piss poor security.

Kim aint a stupid guy, far from it. What he does is spread these hackers around the world, sends them to China, Europe where they pose as construction workers or whatnot and do their dirty deeds from there. And what better target is there then crypto exchanges?
Using crypto, NK can avoid sanctions and by using privacy coins remain mostly untraceable. Now that they have stolen this much, whats stopping them from double spending a number of shitcoins you can “hack” for a few thousand dollars. Ethereum classic, Dash, Bitcoin Diamond, Verge, etc…

Honestly if i were them, if i stole $600 million and i didnt care about anything except stealing more, id just invest something like $20 million of the stolen money into hacking every single top 50 market cap shitcoin. Id hit them all at the same time. Because why not?

My point is:

Educate yourself on what you buy and keep your crypto in your wallet.

Keep on!
