Hey yall!

Idk anything about cryptocurrencies but a long time ago I had a backpage account with bitcoin on it.

I just tried to get on my old backpage account after hearing how much they’re going for right now and found out that it’s been seized by the government.

it literally makes me sick knowing theyre out there and how much money I could have because of that.

Are they gone forever? I’m assuming they are but it’s worth a shot to see if there’s anything I can do to recover them.

Any information would be appreciated and please don’t attack me for asking, it would be life changing for me if I could recover them.

Thanks again in advance for any help regarding this.

Love to all of you, happy trading 🩷

EXPERIMENT - Tracking 2018 Top Ten Cryptocurrencies – Month Seventy-One - Down -24%

Find the full blog post with all the tables here.

Welcome to your monthly no-shill data dump: Here's the 66th monthly report for the OG 2018 Top Ten Experiment featuring BTC, XRP, ETH, BCH, ADA, LTC, NEM, DASH, IOTA, and Stellar.

tl;dr

  • What's this all about? I purchased $100 of each of Top 10 Cryptos in Jan. 2018, haven't sold or traded, reporting monthly nearly 6 years. Did the same in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Learn more about the history and rules of the Experiments here.
  • Snapshots taken on the 1st of each month (snapshot below taken 1 DEC)
  • DECEMBER Highlights: IOTA (+41%) wins November. BTC overtakes ETH for the overall lead, the only two cryptos in the green since June 2018. Combined Top Ten Portfolios still way up vs S&P500.

Month Seventy-One – Down -24%

The 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Portfolio is BTC, XRP, ETH, BCH, ADA, LTC, IOTA, NEM, Dash, and Stellar.  

November highlights for the 2018 Top Ten Portfolio:

  • IOTA (+41%) runs away with the monthly victory.
  • BTC and ETH are in a virtual tie for first place, far ahead of the others and the only two cryptos in the green since January 2018.

November Ranking and Dropouts

Here’s a look at the movement in the ranks since November 2018:

Top Ten dropouts since January 2018: seventy-one months into the 2018 Top Ten Experiment, 40% of the cryptos that started in the 2018 Top Ten have remained.  NEM, Dash, Stellar, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and IOTA have been replaced by Tether, BNB, USDC, Tron, SOL, and DOGE.

NEM and Dash have both fallen out of the Top 100.

November Winners and Losers

November Winners – IOTA easily won the month (+41%) followed distantly by ADA (+24%).  

November Losers – BCH had the worst November, down -9%.

Overall Update –   BTC flips ETH for first place. Dash and NEM in the basement.

After nearly 6 years of holding these cryptos, only 2 out of the 10 cryptos are in the green: BTC and ETH.

Overall, BTC (+191%) has re-claimed first place, flipping second place ETH (+188%).

The initial $100 invested in first place BTC almost six years ago?  It’s worth $291 today.

Dash is at the bottom, down -97% since January 2018.  The initial $100 invested in Dash seventy-one months ago is worth $3 today.  

Total Market Cap for the entire cryptocurrency sector:

In contrast to the performance of the 2018 Top Ten Portfolio, Crypto as a sector is up +150% since January 2018.  There was no easy way to achieve this at the time, but if you were able to capture the entire crypto market since New Year’s Day 2018, you’d be doing much, much better than the Experiment’s Top Ten approach (-24%).  You would also be significantly outperforming the return of the S&P (+72%) over the same period of time, and eight of the individual cryptos within the 2018 Top Ten (except for Ethereum and BTC).

Crypto Market Cap Low Point in the 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Experiment: $114B in January 2019.

Crypto Market Cap High Point in the 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Experiment: $2.65T in October 2021.

Bitcoin dominance:

BitDom ended November at 52%.  For context, see the chart above and high and low points below:   

Low Point in the 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Experiment: 33% in January 2018.

High Point in the 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Experiment: 70.5% in August 2019.

Overall return on $1,000 investment since January 1st, 2018:

If I decided to cash out the 2018 Top Ten Experiment today, the $1000 initial investment would be worth $756, -24% from January 2018.  

For context, in seventy-one months since the start of the 2018 Index Fund Experiment, only thirteen months have been green, all which occurred in 2021/22. 

Here’s a look at the ROI over the life of the experiment, month by month, since the beginning of the 2018 Experiment 5.5 years ago:

The all time high for this portfolio is October 2021 (+72%).  The lowest point was in January 2019 when the 2018 Top Ten Portfolio was down -88%.   

A reminder: no one can predict the value of any crypto tomorrow, let alone next month or next year.  The 2018 Top Ten Crypto Portfolio was down -88% after one year, -80% after two years, -25% after three years.

Combining the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Top Ten Crypto Portfolios

Alright, that’s that for the 2018 Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Experiment recap.

But I didn’t stop the Experiment in 2018:  I invested another $1000 into each of the 20192020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Top Tens as well.  How are the other Crypto Index Fund Experiments doing?   

  • 2018 Top Ten Experiment: down -24% (total value $756)
  • 2019 Top Ten Experiment: up +297% (total value $3,968)
  • 2020 Top Ten Experiment: up +362% (total value $4,620) (best performing portfolio*)*
  • 2021 Top Ten Experiment: up +88% (total value $1,877)
  • 2022 Top Ten Experiment: down -64% (total value $362) (worst performing portfolio*)*
  • 2023 Top Ten Experiment: up +39% (total value $1,385)

So overall? Taking the six portfolios together, here’s the bottom bottom bottom bottom bottom bottom line: 

After a $6,000 total investment in the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Top Ten Cryptocurrencies, the combined portfolios are worth $12,968.

That’s up +116% on the combined portfolios, down from November’s all time high of +553%. Here’s the combined monthly ROI since I started tracking the metric in January 2020:

That’s a +116% gain by investing $1k in whichever cryptos happened to be in the Top Ten on January 1st (including stablecoins) for six years in a row.

Comparison to S&P 500:

I’m also tracking the S&P 500 as part of the Experiment to have a comparison point with other popular investments options.  

The S&P 500 is up +72% since January 2018, so the initial $1k investment into crypto on January 1st, 2018 would be worth $1,720 had it been redirected to the S&P.  

Taking the same invest-$1,000-on-January-1st-of-each-year approach with the S&P 500 that I’ve been documenting through the Top Ten Crypto Experiments, the yields are the following:

  • $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2018 = $1,720 today
  • $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2019 = $1,830 today
  • $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2020 = $1,420 today
  • $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2021 = $1,220 today
  • $1000 investment in S&P ...

I don't believe in charting to predict the future.

Charts are about understanding past events - telling us a nice (hi)story through plotted data.

According to this chart, the speculative demand for nano is correlated with bitcoin fees. Suggesting users migrate to XNO's efficiency under high-fee environments.

TradingView - XNOUSD vs. BTC_FEEUSD [1W]

Will that continue to happen in the future?

Nobody knows.

Can other factors have influenced this observed correlation?

Probably, yes.

But people who want to use peer-to-peer decentralized money will probably look for competitive alternatives if they can't use BTC in its current (or future) state.

Nano, and a few other competitors will always be there for these people.

I personally know many who are already doing this.

I did it myself a few years ago, and I have no regrets, despite the price action.

I'm a user first, and I use cryptocurrencies daily - but I see no point in using Bitcoin because it doesn't meet my current demand for P2P self-sovereign currencies. It is as simple as that.

As we know, a lot of cryptocurrency's in 2017 never surpassed their all time high in 2021.

I'm wondering if there is a comprehensive of cryptos that exceeded their 2017 all time high in the last bull run?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano off the top of my head did but I can't seem to find anything else without trawling through every chart (which I can't be bothered to do during my day job)

I ask as a lot of coins came about after 2017 (solana etc) and would be curious to know as a minor, mental indicator.

Thanks

Every time I read posts of people saying they got scammed and lost all their life savings I get shocked how naive the were.

I’m not talking about signing transactions or giving their private keys, I’m talking about keeping their money in a wallet they actually use.

It’s like going around your city carrying all your life savings in your pocket (or your wallet). What if someone steals it or assault you?

How do you avoid this? I guess you keep your savings in a safe place and carry only the money you need to spend. So why you don’t do the same with crypto?

Personally I keep my crypto in a cold wallet and then I have a hot wallet I use to make transactions. Every time I need to do something, I move the money I need from the cold wallet to the hot wallet. In this way my cold wallet won’t be exposed and I won’t lose my savings.

Let’s say I sign a fraudulent transaction, I put my private keys in a fraudulent website or something like that, only my hot wallet will be compromised, so I’ll lose the money if that transaction but I won’t lose my savings in my cold wallet.

If you're not participating in "investment discords" or clicking links from strangers then what are the chances of you actually losing your assets? Aside from someone getting ahold of your CEX account login credentials and somehow bypassing the 2FA, how else can they "get you"?

I don't have a Discord account

I don't even "Accept" private messages on literally any platform(Steam, Reddit, etc, etc)

I don't do anything other than buy on the CEX.

I don't know anything about "signing transactions" or any of them. I simply buy my crypto and that's it. I don't know much about advanced stuff like staking, and all that.

So if you're not falling for the same phishing methods that literally date back to the beginning of the internet, then how else can they get you?

Hi cryptocurrency community,

Short question here of a what would you do, in short to keep this more private I have a job offer for a crypto sales type role, the project is great, team is great, money is more than good enough.

The question is what would you do if you didn't really understand Blockchain at a high high level/ nor have 10+ years sales experience, they're taking me in off a whim that I have a high potential but seem to expect the world, should I just yolo this and learn as much as I possibly can? Or not.

Any tips appreciated

Thanks guys/gals

I wonder if/when it will really sky rocket - as it’s only at 2400 watchers on Stocktwits and things here seem calm as well…

Binance being sucky strikes again... After this I am not going to be using them anymore.

So it turns out yesterday Binance decided to remove wise as an option for people to p2p. Wise is the only one I use.

I do have a natwest account but they dont have natwest option. They have a "bank transfer" option but when I select that there is no field to enter a sort code into - so I am a little worried - especially as "right now" the minimum withdrawal is 500GBP - thats a lot to lose on a test.

What do you (uk users) use to cash out to the UK?

Alright, I really hate this sub. Don't take it personally, but JEEZUS Everytime I'm here I'm like man.....these folks are so lost. Majority of what I read is where I was in like 2016 when I didn't know SHIT

I am going to share just a few things here, that I think are missing from the sub. Take it from what you will.

Also, admittedly, I am a solana person. but it is not some inherent bias I have, or some ulterior motive. I tried many chains and ecosystems, and Solana just worked the best and was the most rewarding

Lastly, this is a joke, a hallucination, a meme, not financial advice:

-solana is the easiest, seamless and most pleasant chain I've used (vs eth, L2s, avax, cosmos, oasis, harmony)

-solana meme coins have been popping the fuck off. I put 2k in a hat and turned it into 5.5k in under 24hours. If I had held, it would be 15k today. www.birdeye.so

-INJ/TIA/SOL/AVAX are and were the clear winners -- this was obvious......outside of this sub.

-Solana airdrop season is/was nuts. I was rewarded ~4k USD in total (more if I didn't paper hand) and there's one more major one to be expected. Others got more, for example, staking just 1 sol in jito gave people an airdrop minimum value of 4300$, which I missed.

-INJ airdrop season is coming soon...

-Solana NFTs have returned with avengence. www.tensor.trade

-solana released their shitty-specced mobile phone that was essentially free due to all of the crypto it came with (specifically 30M BONK, but doesn't stop there)

Final piece of advice for anyone serious about crypto:

Get the duck out of this sub.

GLHF!

I have seen a large increase in the "help my wallet got drained" category lately. Specifically one post that lost 100 ETH or so. Know this can happen in a heartbeat basically, so I want to figure out how to protect myself the best as I can. But not really sure what steps to take in order to do this.

Obviously preventing to click on fraudulent links or use dapps with your main wallet is bad news. But still, I just want to ensure there's nothing going on already.

I previously heard about revoking access to my wallet all at once? That seems like the kind of measure I'd like to take right now. Just to ensure that I haven't clicked any fraudulent links in the past and start with a clean slate.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this? Much appreciated!

If you have any other tips please do share :)

This post is born out of a few issues: 

  • high network fees for BTC make it necessary to time and frugalize (did I just coin that term?) transactions.

  • LN is a great solution for payments, but trx fees still apply when you go back on-chain or charge your wallet. In the future, I great that this may become untenable for small players.

  • I want to use something with good tokenomics, reasonable fees, and reasonable speed for cross border transactions. No CBDCs or other inflationary coins. I also want to be able to save it without losing money to inflation. I'm ok with market flux.

Basically, I want to use BTC for payments, but I see this as increasingly less tenable and as such see LTC as the next best thing, rather than BTC + LN. I'm not emotionally attached to this solution, though, so feel free to educate me. First, let me elaborate a bit:

Litecoin has many of the benefits of Bitcoin: it's decentralized, POW, its network is secure, it's non-inflationary, and there is no founder who will dump a bunch of pre-mined coins on the market (anymore... At least it won't happen again...), nor is there any foundation that can reward itself by inflating the supply at whim.

This is what sets it (LTC) apart from most altcoins:

-As mentioned above, no inflating the coin supply or rugpulling by founders.

-POW, and not POS. POW means that there is actual work (energy / electricity) backing the value of the asset, rather than POS, which results in a somewhat dubious evaluation scheme where it's worth something because people say it is. I understand that this issue is more complex, but POW, economically speaking, is an advantage. At the very least, it's what I want in the payment tool I'm seeking.

-It's still very quick and cheap to send.

Bitcoin is a great store of value, and I like the lightning network, and use it myself.

The issue is, however, that bitcoin fees are increasing significantly, and if the network continues to grow, trx fees may cut out the little guy - or at least that's my fear. It's already at the point where a trx costs $20 or so. And ordinals, and the network will grow from here. So, even if you use the lightning network for sending and receiving bitcoin, you still pay, for example, $20 per month if / when you need to cash out your transactions back to an on-chain bitcoin wallet.

Again, my fear is that in the future, as bitcoin remains a store of value and gains even more traction, a trx that costs 45,000 sats (~$20) today may cost even more. And even if not, 45,000 sats, if bitcoin is $450,000, ends up being about $200. For institutions, this is a great deal, and a bargain for moving millions of dollars at whim with final settlement in a few hours. For those who want to move some pocket change to a lightning wallet for daily use, paying $200 is completely untenable.

Part of my attraction to crypto is the actual use of it. I sell things to people all over the world, and transaction fees eat into my income significantly. I prefer to transact using a medium that's not inflationary (so I can save it if I want to and it doesn't plummet in value like USD does). To me, litecoin is the best tool for this, at least in my current understanding. I can send it for fractions of pennies, and I don't need to worry about moving it on-chain from LN and incurring a huge loss from the fees every time.

Correct me if I'm wrong: I think that as BTC gains traction, I think it will become even more of a store-of-value-only asset, which is great. I don't see LN being viable if trx fees keep going up, which means that its utility as a payment vehicle goes down.

However, when making payments, I still want something that maintains the philosophy of bitcoin as closely as possible. No inflationary shitcoins, no centrally controlled CBDCs, no POS coins.

The only other options I see:

-ERG? Maybe once it gets bigger. 

-BCH? Umm... Maybe?  r/btc kind of left a bar taste in my mouth.

-BSV? Chris Wright, doesn't that wonderful innovator have something to do with this? Somehow I still prefer litecoin.

-Others? I'm happy to listen.

Conclusion: I think litecoin is more viable than LN+BTC as a bitcoin-like, inexpensive payment method for everyday use, while still giving benefits to those who save it long-term. Maybe the gains won't match those of bitcoin or other altcoins, but it will perform better than fiat toiletpaper.

An I missing something? I kind of feel like Litecoin is more of a treasure that it gets credit for, if you can get over the founder's ungraceful exit - but now it's founderless and free.

Senator reveals the American Bankers Assoc 'helped craft' new anti-crypto bill

The lobbying organization for the U.S. banking industry — the American Bankers Association — was asked to help with the anti-crypto legislation, according to recent Senator comments.

A Dec. 20 video that surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), shows footage of Senator Marshall admitting that he and Senator Warren approached the largest lobbying organization for the U.S. banking industry — the American Bankers Association (ABA) — for assistance in crafting the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act.

Here's yet another interesting Phishing scam that took place a few hours ago.

It appears the hacker used Inferno Drainer in this scam.

  • 0xe265398BC6EA0A4Ae1de43De6e0fad81c205013b - Hacker
  • 0x4Ea01f0D7DFCB0C894C2553c282Ce165c66865F0 - Hacker Contract
  • 0xd44f48962E1E9146d9aaB3e326a34537c10D66B7 - Hacker Legacy Wallet
  • 0x9f6bCC3d52624A2BE52A6b5499B582B98F7e5A41 - Victim

Above is connecting all 3 Hacker wallets to each other and the Victim.

The victim lost 218K in aEthWETH (Wrapped Aave Eth?)

Of particular interest to me in this one is connecting on-chain data with off-chain data.

For example, the hacker wallet of 0xe265398BC6EA0A4Ae1de43De6e0fad81c205013b [created a day ago] is funded by a contract of 0x4Ea01f0D7DFCB0C894C2553c282Ce165c66865F0 [also created a day ago] which was funded by 0xd44f48962E1E9146d9aaB3e326a34537c10D66B7.

0xd44f48962E1E9146d9aaB3e326a34537c10D66B7 has a twitter account directly associated with the wallet. You can look that up on your own.

When investigating hacker/scammer activity, sometimes I have to go 3, 4 or 5+ jumps before finding anything of interest.

A look inside 0xd44f48962E1E9146d9aaB3e326a34537c10D66B7. I pulled out the deposit addresses on the right.

The deposit addresses associated with the above include

  • 0xea985a702240Cb5eA3785434AB6BAAC74E7A7E59 - Binance
  • 0xEecE0833f69159255426eedaf425bC3B38a20475 - Binance
  • 0xd44f48962E1E9146d9aaB3e326a34537c10D66B7 - Binance
  • 0xeB6634484Ba02495552B865eE04A1F8017380BB7 - AscendEX
  • 0x7a63ec7aFFD8c5916B5DF52E830Ad38892C2E2d0 - FTX (lol)

As of now, the hacker wallet of 0xe265398BC6EA0A4Ae1de43De6e0fad81c205013b has about 255K in assets, 218K from one victim, the rest from a few other victims.

0xe265398BC6EA0A4Ae1de43De6e0fad81c205013b was created about a day ago and already has about 255k in stolen assets.

I'm sure the hacker will move these funds to intermediary or deposit addresses in the coming hours or days.

Stay safe out there!

So... my brother owns this beefy finance server and will spam post phishing links to try and lure people into giving their money away. Primarily crypto related. Some how, this sucker clicked one of the links and submitted a transaction connected to his ledger and my brother saw blood in the water. He saw the 30k, drained the wallet and dipped. He's afraid that this guy could potentially tack him so he asked me to ask for help.

is there any way to hide this from the police? we live in canada and this is life changing money for us. it will finally allow us to move from the bridge we live under and give us access to hot food and water.

Just saw a post on r/ethereum about some poor guy losing 100 wrapped ETH signing a transaction for an airdrop. I see similar posts at least once a week with the same story. We've all regularly heard arguments from normies that crypto isn't secure and people's funds can get "hacked."

The reason people are being scammed is because purists refuse to adapt and make things easier for themselves. I sleep like a baby holding my crypto in Robinhood, I send and receive ETH, BTC, LTC and DOGE all day with no issues.

Not your keys, not your crypto blah blah blah. My crypto is safe with a publicly traded and insured company. The chances of them becoming insolvent are a lot lower than some shitbag scammer trying to steal my funds and getting away with it over a copy paste malware , transaction poisoning, etc.

I understand there's an actual need for the traditional methods of storing and transacting, but for most of you on this sub it's just not necessary and you are making things harder on yourselves.

You wanted mass adoption. It's here, stop acting like you are too good for it.

TLDR seeking best wallet for small investments routed to cold wallet, with low fees, that's super easy to use, and that does bitcoin and ethereum.

I like strike. I will say, they do seem to squeeze the prices and the no fee seems to be mildly expensive, not free. But on face value, I like the simplicity and I like the program, and they make it easy to chip away at bitcoining.

In any case, I have more than .00004 bitcoin now, and so would like to diversify, just slightly (that's a joke). Ie, dividing into multiple cold wallet accounts rather than one, maybe setting up multisig, etc.

But it doesn't seem bad to invest in ethereum (just being interested in diversification for risk management)

For small amount purchases with the goal being to route stuff to cold wallet storage, any contenders with strike? Again, not making purchases over $10,000 us, or over $1,000 us. Don't care about speed (strike no fee transactions that take a while are fine for me), but I do care about margins (why should i give up 3% of my thirty cent investment??).

Thoughts?
