    How Do You Stake Cryptocurrencies? Earning Passive Income With Crypto

    While the Bitcoin network is secured by mining, many newer cryptocurrencies use an alternative consensus mechanism known as proof of stake (PoS). This involves users staking their cryptocurrency—pledging their crypto assets to the network to help the blockchain validate transactions. But staking isn’t just an altruistic act to benefit the network. In exchange for staking, you get rewards, often in the form of the cryptocurrency you have staked. Here we explain how you can get started as a crypto...

    What Are Liquidity Pools and Why Do They Matter?

    Liquidity pools are crowdsourced crypto locked in a smart contract, which supply crypto into DeFi markets. The world of finance runs on liquidity. Without available funds, financial systems grind to a halt. DeFi, or decentralized finance—a catch-all term for financial services and products on the blockchain—is no different. DeFi activities such as lending, borrowing, or token-swapping rely on smart contracts—pieces of self-executing codes. Users of DeFi protocols "lock" crypto assets into these...

    Terra’s LUNA Declines 10% Amid UST Depegging Concern

    Terra’s native token, LUNA, since yesterday has plummeted about 10% to $65.80 on fears that Terra’s stablecoin UST, propped up mainly by LUNA, may lose its peg. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. Depegging refers to stablecoins going above $1 or, more commonly, below $1. UST fell as low as $0.985 on Saturday, and it’s now trading for $0.99. Although a 1% depeg from $1 isn’t unusual for stablecoins at times of intense market pressure...

    YellowHeart is Transforming How Tickets Are Issued, Sold and Exchanged

    If you’ve ever had to search for a gig ticket at the last minute, or had to sell your own one on, you know the drill: go to the gig’s Facebook event page and try to find a buyer or seller, or turn to the ticket issuer’s own resale platform. It’s a painful process; the ticketing industry is rife with gatekeeping companies and exorbitant commission fees, with fans treated as mere customers, devoid of any sense of community. As a result, people see tickets to a gig or a sports event as a transactio...

    13 Biggest DeFi Hacks and Heists

    Decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to blockchain applications that cut out middlemen from financial products and services like loans, savings, and swaps. While DeFi comes with high rewards, it also carries plenty of risks.  Since just about anyone can spin up a DeFi protocol and write some smart contracts, flaws in the code are common. And in DeFi, there are many unscrupulous actors ready and able to exploit those flaws. When that happens, millions of dollars are put on the line, often with no...

    9 Top Tips For Filing Your Crypto Taxes in 2022

    Tax season is upon us—the filing deadline to submit 2021 tax returns and pay tax owed is April 18, 2022. The IRS now asks all Americans to declare whether they’ve had crypto dealings or not. “At any time during 2021, did you receive, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any financial interest in any virtual currency?,” reads the question on top of Form 1040. Don’t let the wording confuse you. By virtual currency, the IRS means crypto, even though it doesn’t view crypto as a currency–-it’s con...

    Will Terra's LUNA Top $88 This Time Next Year? A $1M Bet Says It Will

    NFT project Jungle Freaks fell into disarray yesterday after “racist” cartoons drawn by the project’s artist in the 1970s resurfaced, leading many high-profile investors to abandon the project—while others dismissed the controversy as a case of “cancel culture” gone wrong. Jungle Freaks is a father-and-son project that consists of 10,000 zombie NFTs drawn by George Trosley, a former cartoonist for Hustler.  During his Hustler stint in the 1970s, Trosley published a series of racially provocative...
