@cobie To survive, @ledgerstatus used a great analogy called the "Horcrux method", which is a Harry Potter reference.
To survive, you just have to split your soul into many different places. Same for your money: spread across exchanges, custody types & blockchains to survive
"You can’t win if you’re not betting, but you can’t bet if you lose all your money"
It's also important to diversify outside crypto: don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
@cobie@ledgerstatus However, understand that generational wealth is created during bear markets.
No one can tell how low we can go. Therefore, the best strategy here is also the most simple one: DCA the coins you like the most which have strong fundamentals.
@cobie@ledgerstatus Prices have changed but fundamentals are still the same, take that into account when you decide to buy a coin.
Focus on top quality teams, the ones you are sure will still be there years later.
Accumulate their coins, put them into staking, increase your bag & wait peacefully.
@cobie@ledgerstatus Fortunately, bear markets = build markets for the #cosmos ecosystem. We have an army of builders ready to ship next technologies that will expand our ecosystem.
A bug on Osmosis liquidity pools happened right after the v9 nitrogen upgrade. If you added liquidity to a pool and then remove it, your money grew by 50% instantly.
Fortunately, validators worked with the core team to halt the chain and protect it.
The estimated loss is ≈$5M, the team is in contact with majors exploiters to get the funds back & will use the developer treasury to backstop the unrecovered funds.
This event demonstrated the power of a sovereign chain when everyone collaborates together to handle a crisis.
1st generation blockchains are all very sovereign with just one purpose, think about Bitcoin for example. The big issue is that those 1st generation blockchains don't speak/interoperate with each other.
@EvmosOrg Please understand that 300M tokens will be issued through inflation the 1st year. #Evmos has a high inflation rate at the beginning, that's why it's important to stake your tokens otherwise your bag gets diluted 🚨
