2- Let's start off with the infamous #TerraClassic, which saw its token at the time, $LUNA (now known as $LUNC) crash from $86 to under $0.01 in just 48 hours which caused $LUNA holders to lose a total of $60 Billion.
3- What happened? Well, over $2 Billion #TerraUSD $UST was unstaked from #AnchorProtocol and many millions of dollars swiftly became liquidated.
#TerraClassic still exists to this day and their community of #LUNAtics still believe in its future, but do you?
4- Next we had #Celsius which declared bankruptcy on the #CelsiusNetwork and it was discovered that they had $6.6B in liabilities and had stolen over $1.2B from its customers over time.
#Celsius still exists, but its safe to say that many people do NOT believe in their future...
5- And finally the one that is still making headlines, #FTX and the villain himself, #SBF. We have spoken about him quiet a bit recently but for those who need an overview, #SBF was the CEO of #FTXExchange.
6- #FTX filed for bankruptcy as they suffered from a lack of liquidity and an alleged hack that took more than $600m from #FTX users. #SBF ended up in jail, but got bailed out for $250M and walks amongst the free people...
7- Those who are bad actors always get caught eventually and I really hope we don't see any catastrophic #crypto crashes happen in 2023, but in the world of #Web3, you never really know!

12 years of existence and @litecoin is still going strong, let's deep dive into the second oldest #cryptocurrency.

2- #Litecoin is a decentralised, open-source and peer-to-peer network that was originally forked from the #Bitcoin blockchain. #Litecoin is the second oldest #cryptocurrency which was created in 2011 by Charles Lee, a former Google engineer.
3- As #Litecoin is a fork of #Bitcoin, it shares many of the same features, however, it runs on a different mining algorithm and was originally designed to be more decentralised. When #BTC launched, Charles Lee felt $BTC was becoming heavily influenced by centralised authorities.

2- #AllianceBlock is a blockchain-based ecosystem that was founded in 2018 by a team based in the Netherlands. @allianceblock is on a mission to bridge decentralised finance with traditional finance and they're doing a great job so far!
Well, banks and traditional financial institutions are very restricted from utilising #blockchain technology due to regulation issues and the billion-dollar question is, how do you go around that?

2- @Algorand is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that was founded by Silvio Micali in 2017, who developed the whole protocol from scratch, focusing on decentralisation making $ALGO one of the time-tested #cryptocurrencies in this space.
3- #Algorand is designed to combine the powers of both traditional and decentralised finance by focusing on the #blockchains' three largest problems: security, speed and decentralisation!
What is a Consensus Mechanism and why are they so important within the #Crypto space?

2- Simply put, a Consensus Mechanism is a necessity for blockchain protocols as it allows the #blockchain to achieve agreements across a decentralised network of nodes/computers.
3- Doesn't matter if it is centralised or decentralised, everything needs some sort of authority. Well, the only way to pursue a decentralised world of finance and technology is by using consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Work (PoW).
What is a Smart Contract and how does it tie into #blockchain technology?
This crypto guide as well as other free guides & project reviews can be read more clearly on my website: altcryptotalk.com/crypto-guides/
1/ ๐งต๐
2- A Smart Contract is simply a self-executing programme stored on the #blockchain which controls, documents or executes actions or events taking place between a buyer and seller or two different entities.
3- How does a Smart Contract work?
Let's say a user goes onto a #DEX built on #Ethereum and the user wants to swap their $ETH for $MATIC tokens. The user will swap and interact with the Smart Contract built on the protocol.
I'm getting asked a lot lately about how to buy and sell coins on the #BNB chain, and how to set up Metamask, as I'm posting a lot of these coins.
So here's a thread explaining the basics of #Binance Smart Chain trading and how to use Pancakeswap.

First, you'll need to create a wallet that is compatible with the Binance Smart Chain. One option is to use a browser extension called Metamask, which is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Brave.
3/13
After installing Metamask, you'll need to create a new account. Follow the prompts to create a secure password and backup your seed phrase. Make sure to keep your seed phrase in a safe place, as you'll need it to restore your account if you ever lose access to it.
