PayPal has announced that it will now support the exchange of cryptocurrencies between users, effectively turning the platform into a fully-featured crypto wallet.

Previously, PayPal users were only able to buy, sell, hold and pay using popular cryptocurrencies - and only in select countries like the US and UK.

However, the latest update introduces the ability for US-based users to send and receive cryptocurrencies, transfer coins into PayPal from third-party exchanges and move coins into external wallets.

PayPal goes big on crypto
PayPal first announced its foray into the world of cryptocurrencies back in October 2020, at which point it granted US-based customers the ability to store select crypto tokens (including Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin) against their accounts.

At the time, the company cited opportunities around financial inclusion as the primary reason for the initiative, as well as an ambition to increase the utility of cryptocurrencies in the context of ecommerce.

In August 2021, the payments giant extended its cryptocurrency offering to users in the UK, following positive feedback from users on home soil.

The latest update perhaps marks an inflection point for PayPal, which had previously attempted to silo its crypto services by limiting the opportunity to shift holdings freely.

“Allowing PayPal customer the flexibility to move their crypto assets into, outside of, and within our PayPal platform reflects the continuing evolution of our best-in-class platform and enables customers to interact with the broader crypto ecosystem,” wrote Jose Fernandez da Ponte, who leads the crypto initiative at PayPal.

“We’re excited to connect PayPal’s customers to other wallets, exchanges, and applications, and we will continue to roll out additional crypto features, products and services in the months ahead.”

Fernandez da Ponte also announced that PayPal has been granted a full Bitlicense by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), which he described as a demonstration of the firm’s commitment to all regulatory guidelines that apply to its dealing in the crypto space.

The decision to push further into the industry comes amid a steep drop-off in the price of all major cryptocurrencies, caused in part by the decoupling of multiple major stablecoins from their peg, which has wiped out billions of dollars in value. Down from an all-time high of $68,990/unit in November 2021, Bitcoin is currently trading for circa $31,000 per coin.

Password-based login is the most commonly used form of authentication, but it's not always the most secure. The use of passwords as the primary means of authentication has been under scrutiny for as long as they have been in existence. Passwords are meant to be used by authorized users only, but they are easily compromised by malicious actors, and thus, they have increasingly become a larger security risk.

Projects like HyperSign are doing great work to secure our digital existence. Their authentication supplements and replaces passwords, making it easier for individuals to access services while also keeping their data safe.

Technology has changed how we entertain ourselves, meet each other, and consume all types of media. It’s no longer just an industry; it’s a global power center with the sweep and impact of any nation’s capital. Platforms such as NFTnewz, and CNET cover it like one.

They focus on the people, power, and politics of tech, with no agenda and just one goal: to arm decision-makers in tech, business, and public policy with the unbiased, fact-based news and analysis they need to navigate a world in rapid change.

Decentralization might not be the first thing that springs to mind as a solution when you ponder the problems journalism is experiencing. But blockchain might well have several improvements to offer journalists. Here are some shared by the news platforms such as NFTNEWZ and COINTELEGRAPH:


1. A widely used cryptocurrency with low or no-cost transactions would make it easier to charge very small amounts for media products.
2. A cryptocurrency or token could also make it easier for media companies to incentivize users for cooperation and content creation.
3. An automated content and rights management marketplace • tools for controlling the origin and integrity of the content.
4. A distributed publishing environment means that a single server failure would not take down the content itself.
5. A distributed publishing environment to counter censorship4
6. A decentralized publishing platform, “Facebook or Google without the central ownership and control.

Are you a trader or a hodler?

Every crypto investor falls into the category of a trader or a hodler.
 A trader : Someone who loves the daily thrills of buying and selling cryptocurrency, regardless of the market situation.
 A hodler : Someone who believes in keeping a particular cryptocurrency for long term.

Whichever the case may be, you need to understand how the market works before making vital decisions. You also need to be emotionally intelligent to avoid making sentimental choices that could make you lose money.

 SELL OR HODL
Let’s explore when to sell your coins during a dip
 Remember that this is not financial advice

 
When to sell:
1. If you notice that there’s no progress regarding long-term development for the token you hodl.
2. When there’s no structured community support for the cryptocurrency.
3. When your coin stops appearing on popular exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, FTX and Kucoin.
4. When a government creates negative policies against the cryptocurrency in your region.

 When to hodl:
1. When the coin has a history of rebounding from dips e.g Bitcoin.
2. When the asset has the backing of the community and continues to develop new products e.g Solana.
3. When the token is adopted by institutions and companies globally e.g Ethereum.

 Benefits of selling during a dip
1. It saves you from significant losses. It is usually best to sell when the coins are quickly dropping in value so you do not lose all your assets at once.
2. It allows you to redistribute capital into buying other coins at extremely low prices.

 Benefits of hodling during a dip
1. It helps you avoid panic selling and losses from short-term market volatility.

 *NOTE* : With that being said the decision to sell and hold depends on your conviction about how the asset is performing. Always remember to tailor advice to your specific situation and use it as a guide for your crypto journey.

The crypto market made massive progress in 2021, but we can see significant swings that have scared many crypto investors in 2022. The price of Bitcoin has dropped below $31,000, and many investors panicked. But don’t run from crypto before you read the article.

Bitcoin’s price dropped
The bitcoin's price decreased below $26,000 for the first time in 16 months, amid a sell-off in cryptocurrencies that erased more than $200 billion from the entire market in a single day. Ethereum, the most well-known altcoin, tanked to as low as $1,704. It’s the first time the token has fallen beneath the $2,000 mark since June 2021.
TerraUSD (UST) is intended to be pegged to the $1 but it sank as low as 12 cents and collapsed in a run as investors panicked and sold off their tokens. The Terra blockchain has since officially halted.
Some crypto investors are fleeing from cryptocurrencies. Many crypto investors think about what they should do to save their money. Potential crypto investors are as scared as experts.
What’s behind the latest bitcoin drop? Are crypto market collapsed?

Don’t panic
First, Bitcoin saw its dropping below $31,000 for the first time since July 2021. Such bitcoin’s price was just over a year ago and it means that you don’t need to pay 10,000 bitcoins for pizza. Bitcoin is still a valuable digital asset.
Second, cryptocurrencies have plunged in tandem with Wall Street, and are almost on par with the tech-centric Nasdaq, as investors fret about the Federal Reserve’s next moves to tame inflation. When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to combat levels of inflation unseen in the U.S. for forty years, it has the effect of lessening demands for more growth companies, like tech stocks and speculative risk assets like Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are a part of the economy.
Third, the volatility of cryptocurrencies makes them attractive for investment and risky at the same time. If you seek shelter, you should invest in low-risk assets such as US Treasury bonds but the profitability of assets is also low. By investing in Bitcoin, many investors expect that the speculative craze hasn't diminished, and they will be able to sell it again for much more than they paid. But recent history should be that such plans, while tempting, are never easy to achieve. . The thrill of speculatively investing is not the best strategy because bitcoin is a long-term asset.
Looking back at every past bitcoin downturn, there is absolutely no need to panic in such a situation.

Should you own bitcoin? Should you invest in bitcoin now?
It doesn't really matter who you are, a first-time crypto investor or an experienced crypto trader. The most important thing is to be prepared for the bear market. You should hold or even increase your position if you're set up because bitcoin is a long-term asset. The price drop is a good time to buy bitcoins and use a buy-and-hold strategy. Volatility is as old as the hills, and it's not going anywhere. Keep your cryptocurrency investments under 5% of your portfolio. If you've done that, don't stress about the swings because they will keep happening. If you want to invest in altcoins, you should create a balanced portfolio.
Anyway, bitcoin down is an opportunity for growth, and you can take this opportunity.

I was surprised at the fact that apparently if you post an image that has a little username in a corner, that's a valid citation and not plagiarism.

Thank you all for your answers, I think the discussion of this issue has been exhausted. / Below is the answer by mprep (Global Moderator).

If it was my post, I would have included at least one of the 3 links I sent afterwards.

Even if there is no nickname on the pic, it's not plagiarized.
It doesn't apply to images. I have never used a forum in which you're forced to post the source. It doesn't make sense, and less if it's a meme.
Even if giving the link is a must, the link is already included, it's just hidden in a (IMG) code.

It's a cute picture, but you really should add sources when publishing work that is not yours.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is a classic investment strategy in which you divide up the total amount you'd like to invest in a particular asset across periodic purchases. You don't care if the price goes up or down; you just buy at regular intervals.

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy in which an investor divides up the total amount to be invested across periodic purchases of a target asset in an effort to reduce the impact of volatility on the overall purchase. The purchases occur regardless of the asset's price and at regular intervals.

I have already PM'ed mprep, Halab, Cyrus and hilariousandco and requested them to respond to this thread if possible.

what moderators are going to do and, again, I think theymos or some moderator should specify if the criteria has changed and what is the current criteria now.

My friend, please do not teach me and advise me to grow up.

And that's why you also want to cut other foxes' tails. Right?

Does March start after November on your calendar?

I was also banned for three words when I was a rookie. But they discovered copy-paste when I was already a senior member. Don't you see the difference?

I used to trust your judgments. But, Not anymore. Not because you support the plagiarism report. I believe it's accurate. But, calling someone a liar selectively without any evidence is not respectable from a DT1 member.

If you want to answer my questions, don't skip a single question. I want every question answered.

Have you checked my response carefully? I guess no, I only know the rules after November 19th, 2021 because, on that

Well, I was Wondering Why There is No Dedicated Page For Forum Rules. And Somehow I violated One Of The Rules And I got a Message With the link to this Topic. it's helpful. Thank you Very Much.

 If I were getting banned at that time, I would not say much.

I have been reading your posts and all you were trying to achieve here was merit

By your logic, all beginners should not be affected by the plagiarism rule. Or are you special?
