Ethereum’s Intrinsic Value: One of the Main Reasons to consider Trading 

The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the value of the investment based on its cash flow. In this sense, these figures show a resource’s worth based on the analysis of its financial performance, compared to market value that is determined by the price investors are willing to pay for said resource. When it comes to this aspect, crypto is a special case since, while a tradeable valuable, it doesn’t hold any intrinsic value. However, it would be more appropriate to say that not all digital money possesses this characteristic. There are some notable exceptions to this case, the most well-known being Ethereum.

Changing From Crypto to Cash - Is That Possible?

Changing From Crypto to Cash - Is That Possible?

Crypto is a digital currency, which means it exists only in digital form. It’s not controlled by a government or central bank, but rather by the people who use it. You may have heard about Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Litecoin (LTC). All of these are cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies aren’t just for buying stuff online, you can trade them on exchanges and make money off their price fluctuations. But if you want to cash out your cryptocurrency holdings without losing money on fees, converting them back into fiat currency can be difficult and expensive.

You can buy new cryptos too. These can be your investments in Polkadots, Solana, etc. You can simply look for how to buy Solana or learn about crypto by doing your research.  

The Secret of Making Money out of Crypto

One of the most common questions, especially for beginners, is how to convert crypto to cash.

The good news is that there are many ways to do this and they work pretty well. However, the best way depends on your goals and other factors, so let’s look at each one in detail.

Is It Difficult to Exchange Crypto for Cash?

There are several ways that you can go about exchanging your cryptocurrency into fiat currency, but the simplest is to use an exchange platform. These exchanges allow you to convert your digital coins into cash or other cryptocurrencies that you may find more desirable at a later date.

The process of converting crypto-to-fiat currencies involves three steps. Depositing funds into an online wallet, registering with an exchange platform, and then transferring those funds over to the wallet address. It is provided by the exchange before finally withdrawing them as cash from an ATM or bank account (after making sure it's legit).

This method is fairly straightforward, so long as you choose legitimate sites and it doesn't require any technical knowledge to do so once you've set up your account(s). The downside here is that there are some fees involved in this process. However, if done correctly those fees shouldn't be too high since they're usually applied only after completing each step successfully without error (which should be easy enough).

How to Make Your Conversion as Secure as Possible?

Make sure you are using a reputable exchange. There are hundreds of crypto exchanges on the market, but not all of them are equally safe. Before you transfer your money in and out of an exchange, make sure they have been vetted by other users and watchdogs.

Use a non-crypto bank account for your conversions. Even if you don't want to keep your cash in fiat currency anymore, it can be smart to use a separate bank account (with no connection to your crypto exchange) when making conversions into fiat currency. 

This way, if something goes wrong with the conversion or there's some kind of mishap with your original payment method, at least some money will be saved from being stolen. Or getting lost due to fraudulence on behalf of an ex-change employee or hacker attack against their systems.

 

Use a secure wallet instead of an insecure one. "Most people think about security issues when it comes down to physical wallets like paper ones," says Thomas Graham, founder of Crypto Beehive. "But digital wallets can also fall victim to hacking attacks where hackers gain access through malware installed onto computers or through phishing scams that trick users into giving away their login info."

Don't Lose Everything  

Here’s a list of things to consider before you make the jump.

Make sure you understand the risks. Cryptocurrency has been around for less than a decade, and it is still an emerging market that can be volatile at times. The price of Bitcoin (or any other crypto) could drop significantly from where it stands now, which would mean losing money as well as your initial investment in case of an ICO or token sale. It might also be difficult for you to sell off your coins if there are no buyers on hand at the moment, so having a plan B in place is always better than nothing when it comes to risk management strategies!

Have a plan A through E - Make sure that even if something goes wrong with your first choice, there's another way out before giving up completely (i.e., don't give up just because one strategy didn't work).

Weighing the Benefits of Using Crypto vs Using Cash

Crypto is more secure than using cash. This can be true because crypto transactions are irreversible. Therefore, if a transaction is made with someone who has stolen your money, you cannot get it back. Additionally, crypto is not as susceptible to theft or loss as cash because it has no physical form and can be kept in a virtual wallet.

Crypto is more convenient than using cash. Because crypto transactions occur online instead of in person or via mail order delivery service (such as UPS). They are done faster than paper checks which may take up to two weeks before they clear your bank account after being deposited by another party into theirs first! 

Plus there's no need for either party involved in such transactions. Whether it is buyers or sellers to wait around until funds clear before making purchases themselves again either. Even worse, have their identities stolen due to the fraudulent activity taking place under pretenses!

Because there's almost nothing worse than having someone take advantage of us out there. This is especially when all we want from them is just one thing: A little peace of mind knowing everything worked out okay.

Changing From Crypto to Cash 

You can change your crypto to cash, but you need to be careful. There are many scams and frauds on the internet that claim they will exchange your crypto for cash. Before doing anything, always check the credentials of an exchange carefully. If it's a legitimate exchange, it will be easy to find out by checking their website or Google them (not every scam website is obvious).

There are also ways to do this without an exchange if you have enough technical knowledge and want more control over how much money you're spending (though it can take longer). But if all else fails? Go ahead and just use an exchange like Coinbase!

The Cryptocurrencies to Watch this Year


Cryptocurrency has been steadily gathering pace over the last decade and is becoming a more recognizable concept in the current zeitgeist. With the public becoming more aware of these and taking them up, we have seen the number of cryptocurrencies available skyrocket. With this in mind, we will look at which cryptocurrencies are the ones to watch this year.
<!-more-->

Bitcoin

How could we do an article about cryptocurrency without mentioning Bitcoin; so here it is. Bitcoin might be a subject we have all reached saturation with, but not everyone is up to speed. Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency; this privileged position has given it countless hours of promotional opportunities and a place in many businesses ' estimations that it is more trustworthy. We have seen many banks and other financial institutions that offer ways of using Bitcoin in the mainstream, such as these pre-paid Bitcoin payment cards. Bitcoin does not look like losing its prime position anytime soon and looks like being a major player this year and beyond.

Ripple

Ripple is technically not a new cryptocurrency, originally released in 2012, but it went through a stabilization upgrade and was relaunched back in 2018. The most interesting thing about Ripple is its break from crypto tradition by not using blockchain technology. The technology for encryption is a network of validating servers using tokens known as XRP, or 'Ripples'. This technology is popular with several mainstream banks and financial institutions allowing Ripple to be used by them.

Tether

Tether is an interesting take on the cryptocurrency idea. It is encrypted using the traditional blockchain technology pioneered by Bitcoin. But the creators of Tether identified one fact that was holding back the full adoption of cryptocurrency by the masses. Namely that it was not backed by any real-world reserves like cash investments at the bank is. Tether promises that all coins are backed by real-world assets, such as traditional cash and other financial investments. Customers can buy USDT with the peace of mind usually only offered by major financial institutions.

Etherium

Etherium is an interesting take on the cryptocurrency phenomenon, as its encryption runs the cryptocurrency, and many other apps. The system is not only a currency but operates as a programming language as well. This combination gives a unique payment platform available to developers when making apps using the programming language. It is a popular cryptocurrency with consumers and developers alike.

Cosmos

Cosmos is a blockchain technology that works on the premise that crypto factions should not focus on division and work against each other. They strive to bring them all together, enabling interoperability, currency exchanges, and an Internet of Blockchains (IoB). Cosmos uses Tendermint Core, an open-source blockchain development platform. Cosmos provides a ready-made implementation service that allows developers to create their own decentralized/distributed network. This exciting interactive and collaborative approach will bring a new era of cryptocurrency interdependency. Overall, the crypto market is looking strong and these main contenders look set to dominate the market for some time to come. This article has been contributed on behalf of Paxful.

Bitcoin Is Easily hacked: Complete List of Cryptocurrency Hacks [2011-2018] – Chapter[2.9] R[23]

Complete List of Cryptocurrency Hacks [2011-2018]

Can you hack cash aka paper currency? Of course you can’t, same is the case with Bitcoin protocol. You can’t hack electronic cash but you can rob a bank or an exchange. Similarly you can’t hack the bitcoin algorithm but you can hack the digital banks (wallets) and exchanges.

The important question to ask here is: Which one is more vulnerable when it comes to security of your wealth: Cash or Bitcoin?

The answer is: Bitcoin is surely the most vulnerable currency ever made in history!

To rob a bank, you need to put your life in danger, team up with a group of robbers and take up guns and explosives but to rob a Bitcoin wallet, you just need a good laptop!
Believe it or not! Just as I was writing, I discovered that on Jan 26, 2018, one of Japan’s largest Tokyo-based digital currency exchange CoinCheck had been hacked, resulting in the theft of $534 million worth of NEM, and making it the biggest cryptocurrency theft in history far bigger than that of MTGOX where $450 million were stolen.

This proves how secure digital currency is. Bitcoin users are undoubtedly constantly subject to theft, scams, and frauds, which is made easier thanks to Bitcoin’s structure and lack of regulation.
