Other than cryptos that trying to make money off people are these reliable coins?

Everyone talks about making money in crypto, but nobody talks enough about the mental side of it.

The patience during crashes.
The fear of missing out.
The regret after selling too early.
The stress of checking charts every hour.

At some point, crypto stops being only about profits and starts teaching psychology, discipline, patience, and emotional control.

I honestly feel crypto changes the way people think over time — sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

Do you think being in crypto has changed your mindset as a person?

I have been hodling BTC since 2013. Unfortunately, not enough to change my life!

These days, I feel caught between two worlds:

• Sometimes I think Bitcoin has had a good run, but now it is just another investment, with a fairly symmetric risk/reward profile.
• Other times, I think the world is going crazy and Bitcoin is the only way out.

What do you guys think could cause another 10x run? Do you think there is one coming?

Edit: Funny how asking a question that isn’t based on “the price will just keep going up forever” doesn’t seem to get many upvotes here.

I am owed a pretty huge debt, and the debtor's employee wants to pay me back in USDT. I don't do crypto, but in order to get the money returned to me, I opened a Coinbase account today. The debtor's employee said, "You have to deposit $1000 on USDT for activation to get a domain trading account capable of receiving mainnet transfer funds."

Um. What the heck does this mean? I thought I could just set up my account and receive the USDT. Thought this was going to be simple. Not sure this guy knows what he is talking about.

Do you still think BTC is only good for holding after all these years?

Curious how people see Bitcoin today compared to previous cycles. Is it still just about holding, or do you think there are long-term use cases that will actually last and grow over time?

Just want to know if people here also see other long-term possibilities for BTC aside from just holding it...

this is the first time in YEARS that crypto legislation with actual teeth made it out of committee with bipartisan support. gallego and alsobrooks broke ranks. in 2026.

while elizabeth warren is filing 40+ amendments to try to kill it before floor vote
the bill literally just creates jurisdictional clarity between SEC and CFTC so we stop having this insane situation where nobody knows if their token is a security until gary gensler decides to sue them five years later. thats it. thats the whole thing. and it took congress until now to figure this out

but now warrens got 100+ amendments queued up and you KNOW half of them are gonna be poison pills designed to either tank the bill or make it so useless that it doesnt matter.

“yield bearing stablecoins must register as securities” type stuff that just brings us back to regulation by enforcement the cynical read is this dies in floor vote or gets amended into irrelevance.

the optimistic read is that if it made it out of committee with dems crossing over then maybe theres actually enough votes to pass something. institutional money has been screaming for this framework since the ETFs launched

either way the next few weeks are gonna show whether the US is actually gonna build coherent crypto policy or if were just gonna keep pretending that 1930s securities law works for programmable money in 2026
also someone remind me why we needed a decade and multiple exchange collapses to get to “maybe CFTC and SEC should have defined boundaries” because that seems like something we couldve figured out in like 2017​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I swapped a total 37,028 of wOCT from my wallet to 2010 USDT swap on chain. 
This was the executed transaction tx: 

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x98724339b603a0158aab2f7a2a350ff47f8501f0bbb49e946a6f8d84eb7fc5ad

Instead of receiving my funds, I was only sent ~$1,576 USDT. When I checked the on-chain data, it clearly showed that the swap successfully executed for the full $2,010. However, the platform's smart contract deliberately routed $421.80 USDT straight into one of their own wallets:

0xd0A67cB08BE17475f4315a04C5F0Be3e200Ef66c⁠

This is deceiving users, providing them with false information and stealing funds without disclosing. 

I contacted support and they replied with:

“ 1:1 exchange rate for an asset pair is not guaranteed when trading on a decentralized market with limited liquidity. If the market for the token pair lacks sufficient liquidity, trading can result in a significant price impact, which leads to a lesser fiat value of the received token.”

When I asked customer support, they tried to brush it off by blaming "low liquidity" and "price impact." This is a blatant lie. The blockchain proves there was no price impact issue, the full amount was generated, and they simply pocketed a massive, undisclosed 20% cut. Providing false information to cover up hidden extractions is theft. Stay away.

I lost money twice in the same week. Not to a rug. Not to a hack. To my own wallet.

First time — I was managing like six addresses across three chains, I could literally feel my adrenaline 😭. A new L1 just dropped and the chart was going crazy. So I copy an address, I send and I was waiting for conformation on the other chain but unfortunately after checking again it was the wrong one. And my funds where gone just like that. The wallet didn't flinch. No warning. Just a little confirmation tick like it was proud of itself. It was my fault, I know but sending money shouldn't require me to have a cs degree, understanding chains and stuff. Crypto wasn't correctly built for humans, I'm sure you agree with me 😭.

Second time — same week, same opportunity. My friend is newer to this. He had funds sitting across four different chains but couldn't move fast enough because half of it was stuck — wrong network, not enough gas on another, bridge taking 20 minutes. By the time we figured it out, the window was closed. He had the money. He just couldn't use it.

We both got wrecked by the tooling instead of the market 😂.

I've been quietly thinking about what a wallet looks like if it was actually built for humans. Like what if the chain was just nobody's problem but the app's. You own your keys, you move your money, and the complexity just... disappears underneath. Wild concept, I know.

Not launching anything. Not shilling anything. Just curious — what's the most unhinged thing a wallet has made you do just to complete a basic transaction?

Ask me what I'm building if you're curious 👽
