Crypto Lady: Girl Gone Crypto
So yesterday we spoke with a Crypto Twitter Super Star, today we are going to get to know Girl Gone Crypto and I tell you, this lady is all over the place: YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Steemit, Flote, Tiktok ...... and has her own website
Busy Bee, and happy I was able to run an interview by in her busy schedule.
Found a couple nice facts about this lady on her website. Won't give all of them but just a couple for fun:
- Girl Gone Crypto was in a Superbowl 2020 commercial.
- Girl Gone Crypto was a total band nerd in High school and won several state titles with my flute.
- I’m an internationally certified barista with the International Academy of Specialty Coffee (aka… I’m just an annoying coffee snob).
Well, that is a little introduction of the lady that is ALL OVER CRYPTO
Let's meet this lady and ask het some questions.
XRPTwin:
Hi, can you introduce yourself in a couple sentences ? ? ?
Girl Gone Crypto:
My name is Lea, also known as Girl Gone Crypto and I am a content creator that focuses on increasing crypto adoption through both educational and creative content. My goal is to make bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies feel more approachable to everyday consumers
XRPTwin:
You bring blockchain/ crypto to the larger crowd ... Why, do you think, have we not seen adoption yet ... a. not enough Girls Gone Crypto in the world, b. regulation, c. Crypto is scary stuff d. none of the above ? ? ?
Girl Gone Crypto:
Definitely A
No, i’m just kidding but I do think in general there is a lack of awareness of why bitcoin is and the true value it brings to the market. Even though more and more people are becoming familiar with the terms – they may still just think of it as “internet money for nerds”.
I think that before people adopt the solution – they need to first understand that there is even a problem. That ‘s why I think financial and economic education is key in the conversations we have about cryptocurrencies.
Well, we need more Girl Gone Cryptos in this world ! ! !
I know the Harry Potter author probably agrees with me.
I thought it was really amazing, how you answered JK Rowlings Tweet about Bitcoin:
I don't want to keep your answer for the readers, so this was Girl Gone Cryptos Answer, just click the Tweet:
https://twitter.com/girlgone_crypto/status/1261445010832015361
Well done, impressive more than 3.000 Likes and over 300 replies. Wonder if JK Rowling herself responded; please let us know :–)
XRPTwin:
This week I interview many ladies that are crypto influencers. Why is it that there are still more men in this business, there are so many SMART women ? ? ?
Girl Gone Crypto:
Cryptocurrencies finds itself at the intersection of technology and finance – which are both male dominated fields – and so it makes sense that the blockchain industry would initially be made up of a stronger male demographic.
As the currencies at technology begin to become more adopted by mainstream users – that’s when I think we’ll see a more diverse array of users.
This is large in part why I like to focus not only on education – but creative/lifestyle content as well. I think it’s important that when people are looking into something – they see people that are “like them” already involved. This goes a long way to breaking down barriers and making the technology feel more approachable.
XRPTwin:
What would you like to tell the new people coming into the crypto spheres this year ? ? ?
Girl Gone Crypto:
Just jump in and get started! It’s really not as complicated or difficult as it seems once you try it out. Also, that it’s okay to take baby steps. You don’t have to learn how to trade, or use liquidity pools or any of the more complicated techniques right away. Just start out by buying a little bitcoin or whatever crypto you choose and spend some time watching videos on YouTube and educating yourself.
XRPTwin:
This year will be a success if ..... (please fill in the blank) ? ? ?
Girl Gone Crypto:
I can finally get my mom to understand bitcoin.
so not:
but:
Thank you Lea for taking the time answering some questions. Life is different at the moment, busy, you still took the time for the interview, thank you lady ! ! !

Crypto Lady: TheCryptoCandy
Well, last week I declared it My “Women in Blockchain” *Week* and why not starting it BIG.
There are different “roles” within the Crypto Industry that are filled by women and today I am writing about / interviewing a Twitter Influencer.
She helps people on Twitter by giving them updates, information about a lot of different currency and this lady has been around since 2018 already and don't get me wrong, she is a heavy hitter ! ! !
With a whopping 34K + followers on Twitter, this lady does not get unnoticed ! ! ! So, if we want to talk about successful women in blockchain, this lady is absolutely successful sharing the words on Twitter with her audience.
Before getting through some questions, I looked at her Twitter account. Let's highlight a couple things we are seeing:
Source Hi there lady, looking serious ! ! !
Now we know visually who we are talking to, let's look a little deeper, some more information:
Source Had to put it in ..... the three letter “word”
She does not shy away for a sharp Tweet:
So let's ask the lady some questions:
XRPTwin:
Who are YOU ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Hi everyone, nice to meet you.
My name is Angela aka. TheCryptoCandy. I live in Germany and live a completely normal life. I have worked with over 40 blockchain projects to date.
XRPTwin:
How did You get involved in crypto when, how , why ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Like most of you, I got to know about Bitcoin from a friend. First I ignored him and didn't pay that much attention. (thinking it as Ponzi scheme)
A few weeks later I heard the Bitcoin noise again in my office, and my same friend approached to me to invest. That was at the end of 2017.
XRPTwin:
What is your favourite Crypto and why is that ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Definitely XRP, it diverges from much of its cryptocurrency competitors in a number of ways. XRP is an invention of Ripple Labs, and the token is being used in high-speed and low-cost money transfers worldwide.
Ripple Labs has announced a number of partnerships with leading money transfer services, with more financial market partnerships expected in the future.
Unlike many cryptocurrencies that trade on hopes and dreams, XRP is being used in the real world today, showing signs of future adoption within the financial market community.
XRPTwin:
Any other Coins you are interested in ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
The market isn’t just about Bitcoin anymore. There are other cryptocurrencies that have entered the space, such as ETH, LTC, and XRP. All of these have performed incredibly well over the last few years and can all be called “the best cryptocurrency to invest in”.
XRPTwin:
The coolest thing that happened this year ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Honestly there was not a single moment during the entire year of 2020 that is worth remembering. Not one. #Covid19
XRPTwin:
What do you expect from 2020 ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Trump gets re-elected, and I think more people will vote for him than they did last time.
More protests against “climate change”
An increasingly wobbly financial system.
Carbon dioxide emissions will increase globally.
According to many crypto enthusiasts, 2020 is going to be the best year to invest in cryptocurrencies.
XRPTwin:
What Crypto is going to surprise us ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
I think that very easily we could see Bitcoin going up to $20,000 by the end of this year.
XRPTwin:
Does Corona help Crypto or slowdown ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
The crypto market could find itself once again dissociate from the traditional markets thanks to the massive measures planned shortly by central banks, including liquidity injections in a context where global debts are hitting records.
One thing is certain, the long-term investor should not, in this context, keep his/ her eyes on the prices. This is the best way to take bad decisions and make mistakes.
XRPTwin:
and how many hours a day, you think about crypto ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
24/7
XRPTwin:
I may have a quick round of single word(s) question, what do you think about ... ? ? ?
Bitcoin halving and the following months ? ? ?
US Regulations ? ? ?
Banks?!? Who needs banks ? ? ?
China ? ? ?
Bill Gates ? ? ?
What Netflix Show you watch ? ? ?
What music do you listen to ? ? ?
TheCryptoCandy
Bitcoin halving and the following months ? ? ?
-Boring
US Regulations ? ? ?
-Good
Banks?!? Who needs banks ? ? ?
-Trash
China ? ? ?
-Lie
Bill Gates ? ? ?
-Vaccination
What Netflix Show you watch ? ? ?
-Money Heist
What music do you listen to ? ? ?
-Everything
Well, there you have it, my first interview with a lady that is definitely THERE when talking Crypto Twitter. One angle to show that LADY POWER in crypto is absolutely there and visible.
If you are NOT this lady yet, you better get to it, just click the following button and stay up to date what happens in TheCryptoCandys life ! ! !
STAY SAFE ! ! !
Dinosaurs 🦕 🦖
This morning Noah and me were very early up, so we went downstairs and checked out Netflix. We got ourselves some coffee and apple juice, made some croissants and it was time for some manly carnivores on the television ......... playing with each other of course ! ! !
Since a couple days we are served the following series:
Everybody remembers the movie Jurassic Parc, 1993, and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous’ Animated Series follows the third movie in the line of “Jurassic” movies: Jurassic World, made in 2015 ! ! !
27 years ago, I remember, all the commotion, Steven Spielberg’s fantasy .... the tune of the trailer / movie, very recognisable. And now, I was relieving it with my son. He has no clue, is just enjoying a cartoon, no history, just sitting here, with daddy, crumbling a croissant on the blanket we were sitting under ........ priceless ! ! !
I really enjoyed the show; there are 8 episodes, currently watching number 3. It follows six teenagers going to the island with critters. Every “flavour” is available; interesting fact, there is also a person that is into social media, 27 million followers. So it is adjusting to time, interesting to see; when is Jurassic coin coming ?
We are having a good time together with the occasional growl beside me. The youngsters need to team up while some unfortunate things happen Without giving any clue away; they need to Deal with situations where dinosaurs seem to be winning the battle ......
Oops stopping the series for a second, little accident ...
We finished watching episode 4 and that is enough for the moment. Together we are preparing breakfast and go upstairs to jump on the bed , Good morning mama, let’s have a great day today ......
STAY SAFE
SOURCE HEADER
All it takes, is a bit of Swearing
So, today was the second tennis competition day and I was looking forward to it. I only played a doubles match, so, instead 11:00 AM I had to be around the tennis courts at 01:00 PM.
I did a little bit of an easy morning, went to the beach and had a coffee with wife and son. Was beautiful weather, around 60 degrees, little bit of wind, perfect weather for tennis.
When I was sitting in the car I received a text message that I was able to come around 2 as the matches were all long. Because of Corona, they rather have people coming in at times when they have to play, so yes too bad I was not able to watch, but safety first ! ! !
As I entered the tennis courts, I saw my doubles player was still playing singles. He just lost the first set and was moaning about the weather. My doubles partner is the neighbour, of the neighbours of MY neighbours and actually a little bit of a strange guy. (think about it in your head neighbour, neighbour, neighbour) ! ! !
He doesn't really talk a lot with me outside the tennis courts, but he only approaches me, when .............. Bitcoin is doing bad; in other words, when BTC is going down, has NO clue there are a lot of other coins, he is always present for a little chat .... I am not that invested anymore, but feel some kind of jealousy with him regarding digital assets, oh well ! ! !
I was watching him in the second set and the guy he was playing ..... was really bad. I was surprised he lost the first set to him. To make a long story shorter, my neighbour won the second set, was 2 points away from winning the third one, but lost the match, third set 7-5. He was aggravated, wanted to win the doubles.
I am not playing well lately, should sit out to let my body heal a bit, but I like the game so much, I just want to play. We had to play the doubles and my neighbour was fired up. I kinda saw the opponent was very strong, so I was like eh ..... this is a toughy, man ! ! !
After 15 minutes we had lost the first set ...... 6-0, it went fast. Second set 2-0 behind, break down again and the guy next to us on the court:
F$#@^ing courts, this is F$@#ed up and this Bull#@%% #@$^%^ @#$$% and #@%$
I was like, what are you doing man, there is children here ! ! ! Oh and there are women here that should not hear does words either.
He was looking at me and well, if looks could kill, this blog would not have been written ! ! !
He started again:
and what the F@#%$#% do you want, you little piece of @#!% , @$%#%^, !@$#$, !#&$^%^#@
WOW, classy, please Sir, go back to your court and be a decent person, please ! ! !
Oh, I see you are F#@^$&ing loosing, 6-0, 2-0, makes sense, you pathetic piece of !@% ^&%$, $%#&&%^
JUST IGNORE FERDI, JUST IGNORE ! ! !
So I had to serve, was a little mad, so I served it outside and ..... ACE, nice start of the game, we made 3 more points in a row and we got our first game, wow, nice one....
And, we broke their serve, really nice ! ! ! all the way up to 6-5 up and we won the second set 7-5 ...... this was so NOT expected. Third set was a Super Tie-Break, first one reaching 10 won the match, 2 points different.
We played a good Tie-Break, but were 9-7 behind , 2 match points for the opponents on serve. He served it to my forehand and my previous returns were weak, so now I only had one idea: straight down the line ..... the net player made a move and I passed the good guy. 9-8. My neighbours neighbours neighbour had to serve and I told him go backhand and I will destroy it with a volley ........ and so, that happened, 9-9.
What if ....No, no, but really ......... NAH
One more good first serve, percentage tennis, and 10-9 UP ! ! ! Oh my goodness ....
The guy served a double fault and so an exciting game just stopped like a beautiful candle blown out by the wind .... DONE ! ! !
We were really happy and my neighbours neighbours neighbour was doing a little dance, he could not believe it, loosing 8 games in a row and then a big fat W .....
After the game, the guy playing next to us, came over and apologised to us, he said I was right and his behaviour does not belong on the tennis court. I waved him all was fine and I was happy he apologised ... and I also thanked him:
For waking us up to start winning a game. He laughed, I laughed .... We all laughed, also my neighbours, neighbours neighbour

“Women in Blockchain” Week
Couple of weeks ago I spoke to a friend of mine that I introduced to the Crypto Industry ........ after 2017. She is ready to experience something that I have experienced in 2017, but that is content for another blog ! ! !
She actually spoke with me that she only had guy friends to talk to regarding the blockchain industry and the crypto currency she is holding; actually only 3 friends and she wondered why ? ? ? Is she boring, don't people get what she is getting, how is the future shaping, what what what ? ! ?
I started to think the same and if you look around you DO find a lot of gems in the Blockchain / Crypto / Fin-tech industry. Looking at the Blockchain Industry in particular, yes, it is more male dominant, but there are women that are showing the world how it is done ! ! !
Next week, I am going to highlight women in blockchain. Every single day, focussing on one lady, she gets the floor and answers questions. Good to highlight the powerful ladies in the blockchain industry.
Without making this a politically incorrect week, whatever you read, whatever is said / shared and/ or done, equality is the most important ! ! ! Where men excel in some roles, it may be women that outshine men big time in different roles. Should not be tied to industries though, so ..... WOMAN in Blockchain it is ! ! !
It is painful to see that only a little over 7% of the Fortune 500 Companies have a woman as CEO. Mary Barra leads the ladies list, being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at General Motors.
In Blockchain there are definitely ladies, influential ladies, making a difference and making a bigger difference than what men would be able to do. Of course you cannot measure all women by the same yardstick, but the same is for men. Women don't deserve MORE attention than men, but definitely don't deserve LESS attention than men. No discrimination, positive discrimination or other form that separates a person by gender. Why only women, I hear you think, well, I am the content creator here ..... and next week it is (my) Women in Blockchain week ! ! !
Next week, different women will be highlighted for what they do in the industry. I have had incredible inspiring conversations with some of the smartest people in the industry.
Be ready to be amazed ! ! !
and about my friend in paragraph 2, no she is not boring and yes, people don't get it and have no clue yet what is going to happen
STAY SAFE ! ! !
Toys 4 Boys – LAMBO, SO 2017
During the next 2 years, all streets in our neighbourhood will be tackled. They are all being re-laid, the sidewalks all changed, new trees ...... everything new.
This is the introduction to my new blog. Don't stop reading here, because this shows a whole different side of
“Road-Making”
2 years I hear you think, yes 2 years! The whole neighbourhood is cleaned, so 2 years of employment ..... and that's nice, as we all know it is going to be gloomy .... the economy ! ! !
They first had to remove trees, all the pavers, cables underneath had to be adjusted, the pavements removed, serious adjustments. Is it difficult with traffic flow, yes, what about parking, yes, very difficult, but we get something nice in return.
Yesterday a large machine arrived and there were a lot of people who wanted to have a look.
When it became a bit clearer what was going on, it was mainly the fathers with a son / sons that stayed behind.
They were laying the streets
That does no longer happen on knees; those images are clearly outdated ! ! !
The before 2010 image:
Step aside “before 2010” because we are living in 2020, “we are NOT going to send money by stepping in an airplane anymore”, (you should laugh now), and we are NOT going to get on our knees to construct a street anymore ! ! !
Please, say hi to
I tell you, this is what you want for your first birthday after YOUR coin(s) have mooned, this is your dream come true, amazing ! ! !
Years and years road workers have complained about the hard work, soar and hurtful knees, broken backs, not feeling happy, well somebody needed to do something about this. Safety first, so in 2010 this bad boy hit the market ! ! !
Let me tell you about this mean machine ! ! ! With this paving machine, a high daily production is possible, around 300 m2 of paving per day. The quality of the machine paving is high and the edge finishing is immediately applied.
I mean really, if there has been something that is matching the invention of sliced bread, say hi to that paver ......
Dads were standing around the street that was being constructed, all their sons were dancing full of joy, this was one big party, PARTY. I had to be somewhere with Noah, we forgot time, this was just such a joyful moment, we could not leave the scene. WE were in our happy place, look at that beauty ! ! !
At that moment
I probably should have called a good friend of mine
(He knows who he is, eh ..... W*****), as he would have LOVED to be there with his son ...... well they are not gone yet ! ! !
First ingredient: a street that is not complete yet:
This part was done, had little mats, so bulldozers were able to drive over the newly paved street without “hurting” it.
Than you need in impeccable team that works together:
Okay, okay that is a childish pic, sorry ! ! ! These guys were on their lunch break but they were sitting together. I recognised this as wanting to have lunch together .... team spirit ! ! !
Well, let me tell you something about these guys, they are AMAZING ........ together. They all have their own task in the team and they showed happiness and they showed how you have to work as a team ! ! !
They get complaints, neighbourhood peeps being disgruntled because all these extra cars parking in the street, not being able to take the same boring route instead of daring to take other streets to the final destination. They start too early, they are too loud, the music really .....
Well, that's where I beg to differ. Today, I write my blog with passion; I really had so much fun and they took the time to explain, while working and I tell you ...... these guys know what hard work is and a little fun of course !
Let's go back to “the Godzilla of Street Machinery”:
Yes Yes , I know, seeing this picture makes you excited, does it not... That is why I chose it as my header pic. Please, this is pure beauty !!!
So this machine can lay a carpet of bricks and let me continue sharing all the good things about this 80.000 dollars of joy.
The team, well, they work TOGETHER, they are smiling and they are focused. Music on, German Dance Act Scooter, it is amazing, will link one of the songs here, so you understand that this DOES help while working:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVjeheaFfsM
I mean, REALLY, can you feel it also, hearing these tunes, and working with the sun and this amazing beast of a machine. Let's have some work pics, and I spoke with the person in charge;
I am actually sharing this blog with him, so they file it where they deem it to be filed:
I tell you, it all went so smooth, and once again, these guys are a team. And don't get me wrong, this is a serious job, but working on
A REALLY FUN PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
The guy on the side has to lay the special bricks, all guys on top have to work the same speed in order “to get the street rolling” Enough stones on top all the time, a straight “carpet”, and safety first. It was fun to see these guys work together, talk together and manage it together. I tell you, the neighbourhood should be happy with these guys because they mean business, SERIOUS business ! ! !
So if the pics don't speak for themselves, please find a little video that shows the MONSTER working:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VydRh9IDm-Y
This is TEAM WORK , with a capital T
Well, guess what ! ! ! This was not the finishing touch, we had a little dessert, well, it was not really ME who got the dessert ! ! !
I walked away for a second leaving Noah with a friend of mine. When I came back:
Absolutely amazing guys. They brought so much joy to so many looking around, photographing, videoing, only smiles all around with a little person in particular. He managed it again to get on there. I told him, I do not want those guys to get in trouble, as they are amazing. They took care of my son, explained him what to do, showed him how to do this job with all its safeties. I mean really, I cannot stress it enough, amazing T E A M ! ! !
So, once again, this is the brute from the front
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sAv8F9W5Gw
AND the brute from the back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4M58loWGkk
This was a lot of fun. So, many things I forget to write, yes. So Lambo's, Ferrari's or anything YOU thought of buying when Crypto goes Jupiter, forget about it, this bad boy needs to be purchased.
Can you do something with it, yes, you can lay roads, that is awesome already, the rest is just detail.
Oh and if you just want to “test drive” it, you can rent one for a thousand dollars a week; the place I found where you can rent it is NOT affiliated with the guys / business talked about in this blog.
I will probably see these guys again and of course that beautiful piece of equipment. It was an amazing day .....
STAY SAFE ! ! !
Wordless Wednesday Sep 16: Houses Facades
XRP TIME: CRYPTOWHALE ! ! !
A couple days ago I saw an article on Dailyhodl that I scanned a bit; Three words popped out: XRP – Annihilating – Altcoin. I went to the
Tweet and saw it was CryptoWhale that wrote the tweet and I had already seen it. Interesting view, that ...... grey area coming up ......
has been “kind of” confirmed by Brad Garlinghouse (CEO Ripple Labs):
I have said publicly before that I think 99 percent of all crypto probably goes to zero, but there is that one percent that I think is focused on solving a real problem for real customers and is able to do that at scale.
He said this during an an epic interview with Bloomberg in 2019. Epic, not because of this quote, but his face after his introduction when he was called Brad Garlington:
The interview including this quote can be found here, credits to BankXRP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvSZTfAkgYk&feature=youtu.be
So, Annihilation; Let's dive a little deeper in a CryptoWhale's live ! ! !
Not too shabby, over 36.000 Followers .... That definitely means you have something to say and eh .....don't you love that Whale, has something, does it not ? ? ? Had to play with it a little bit :–)
So, when you read the word Crypto and Whale that definitely means money, means business, means ....... yeah what does it mean, let's go to this gentleman (yes, I can confirm it is a gentleman).
Who is the CryptoWhale:
XRPTwin:
Hi, can you introduce yourself in a couple sentences ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
Hello, I’m CryptoWhale. I’ve been trading stocks, derivatives, options, and cryptocurrencies for many decades, and through my extensive research, and educational background, I’ve decided to enter the social media world and help others.
XRPTwin: Need to interrupt for a moment, all very nice, but please, a little more credit for that last sentence: I’ve decided to enter the social media world and help others, not everything is greed and money lust; some people genuinely mean to help, just wanted to highlight that; sometimes people read too fast, like this one:
Investing has been a large part of my life, and being able to use my platform to share insightful content has brought lots of joy to my own life, as well as other peoples.
XRPTwin:
You are a Crypto Influencer, how did it all start with Crypto ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
I first started Twitter back in 2011. After posting lots of calls, and information on Bitcoin, I knew this place was going to grow rapidly over the years.
Unfortunately my father was diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma shortly after, and I took a break from Twitter and my career in order to help him.
After his passing in 2014, I focused on myself again, and rather than pursuing a small audience, I wanted to open up to a larger audience, and share my knowledge with them.
I put hours of work into my content to make sure its extremely high quality. By doing so, I’ve gained a decently sized following, currently at 34K. I’m planning on expanding my follower base exponentially over the next several months.
XRPTwin:
You bring blockchain/ crypto to the larger crowd ... why, do you think have we not seen adoption yet ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
The reason we’ve not seen adoption yet is simple. This space lacks true integrity, and intelligence in the financial sector. Many Investors are solely jumping in to “get rich quickly”, and not actually using these currencies for what they were designed for.
I’ve always had a pessimistic view about adoption. Large scale adoption will not occur until regulations are added, and the multi-year bear market is completed.
XRPTwin:
Yes, always that word Regulations. I think people are working in the back, will take a little as Uncle Sam wants to make some money also. Not just Regulations are needed, but in specific TAX regulations, IMO.
XRPTwin:
Are we first going to see Bitcoin at 3500 dollars or ATH ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
Without a doubt we will be seeing Bitcoin return to $3,500 before ATHs. I’ve said this many times on Twitter, and I hold full confidence in it being true.
We’ve only been above 10k a total of 3 times in history. Each resulting in rapid sell offs of over 70%. This shows there isn’t stable buying pressure up here, and won’t be for some years.
I also alluded to the CME Gap theory in an article I’ve written on medium. We have gaps at 3.5K which make me believe another sell off similar to March is coming.
XRPTwin:
Dailyhodl wrote an article about one of your Tweets regarding XRP Annihilating Almost Every Other Altcoin ... care to elaborate ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
This tweet regarding XRPs Annihilation of all other Altcoins was surrounding the idea of Crypto Regulations.
While these worthless ICO/DeFi tokens are popping out everyday by new scammers, XRP has been working closely behind the scenes to ensure they are fully compliant with governments.
Being able to work closely with the government is one of Ripple’s greatest assets that sets them apart from every other cryptocurrency. No coin on the market is doing what they are doing, which is great for XRP in the long run.
XRPTwin:
Defi – next great thing or trap; people making a lot of money or people are digging their own hole (collateralising there house for example) ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
I won’t go too deep on this question because I have dozens of tweets talking about it, although DeFi is the most ridiculous bubble in modern history.
It’s fuelled 100% by greed. New Investors jumping into Food tokens because they want to get rich. There is no value in this, and they will all become worthless once their owners decide to exit scam. I read a report saying roughly 80% of tokens on Uniswap have already exit scammed, which is very concerning.
I recommend everyone reading this to stay away from the DeFi hype. It’s not going to end well.
XRPTwin:
Company Executives selling shares in their companies; This is not going to end well, is this good for oil / precious metals and eh .... crypto ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
These top CEO’s and directors that are selling record amounts of shares at all time highs are smart. They know the valuation for their company is greatly overvalued by Wall Street and retail Investors.
Them getting out at record numbers for the first time in over a decade signals a large scale recession. Retail Investors actually hit a record high, and they’ve been blindly buying up all the bags the executives are selling.
XRPTwin:
Do you believe you have a responsibility being a Crypto Influencer ?
CryptoWhale:
Yes for sure! While the majority of crypto influencers lack any responsibility, and morals, I’ve always ran my page with the purpose of helping others. I have a level of responsibility for the stuff I tweet.
For example, I have never shilled any scams, paid groups, funds, or schemes that would damage my reputation.
Instead, I share educational content in hopes of helping others. And the best part, I’ve never taken a cent from any of my followers. Just recently someone on Twitter offered to donate $1,000 to me, and instead of accepting his donation, I told him to donate it to charity. He graciously donated the $1000 tip to the Children’s UNICEF fund in my name!
XRPTwin:
Coolest thing that happened this year for Crypto Whale ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
The coolest thing in 2020 is that I got married to my beautiful wife, and we went on an amazing trip to the Maldives.
During this time I took a 2 week break from the internet, and it was very enjoyable! Would recommend.
XRPTwin:
What would you like to tell to the new people coming into the crypto spheres this year ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
The people entering the crypto sphere this year need to be extremely careful. Not only are you entering in at yearly highs, you’re at risk to falling victim to the greed and fear that the markets are fuelled on.
This is arguably one of the worst times to enter the space, and I know even my words cannot stop people from losing money. My advice its to hold off on buying until we’ve seen another big crash. It’s coming.
Be vigilant, don’t invest into shit coins, don’t trust anyone, don’t buy up here, avoid leverage, avoid day trading, and constantly read books and educate yourself.
XRPTwin:
When will we see regulations and what will that do ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
No one knows exactly when we will see regulations, although the EU’s leaked proposal states we could see them publicly addressed as early as late September/October. The U.S has also publicly said they will be adding crypto regulations in 2020, although we haven’t heard updates on that since February. (Possible delay from COVID?)
XRPTwin:
WhaleStreet, your Telegram channel, it is free and FULL of information, can you say something about it, getting close to 5.000 people ? ? ?
CryptoWhale:
WhaleStreet is a telegram and discord server run. It’s 100% free to enter, and is a space for traders and Investors to make friends, and chat about stuff.
Me and my partners also share lots of educational content (PDFs), and crypto calls to users.
I feel like there’s so many groups that charge insanely high fees, so Whale street takes pride in being the first quality (free) group.
Well, thank you CryptoWhale, that was an interesting interview. Nice insides and I learnt once again. I do agree it is a difficult market, especially coming in as a new investor; many traps out there. ALWAYS Do Your Own Research, reach out to the OG's on the different social platforms and be cautious. If it sounds to good to be true, it (probably) is ! ! !
STAY SAFE
Oh one more investment Tip by CryptoWhale:
Enjoy everybody ! ! !
Coil Bloggers Questioning CSC
On the 23rd of June, my interview was released with John Caldwell, director of advocacy, the CasinoCoin Foundation about ....... CasinoCoin. That interview actually had a part II and that ...... is the interview below: not done by me, but By Many COIL Bloggers, well and a little me ! ! ! Amazing what John has done, he has been so helpful.
Please find below the interview between Coil Content Creators and CasinoCoin – John Caldwell.
Why have you based your blockchain on the XRP ledger ? ? ?
When selecting a new blockchain back in 2017, we needed to think carefully about whether the technology would be able to deliver upon our vision. Many gambling-focused blockchain projects opted for Ethereum, but we had concerns over its scalability. Three years on, many are still struggling with these issues.
The XRP ledger appealed because it was built to handle the large volumes transacted by the financial industry. In many senses, gambling is similar to finance in that it requires huge numbers of transactions to be processed extremely quickly for low fees. Also, arguably, gambling is more tightly regulated than the banking industry. With that in mind, the XRP ledger was the perfect basis for the CasinoCoin blockchain.
Where do you realistically see CasinoCoin in five years? Do you see CasinoCoin as a centre point of online gambling ? ? ?
Predicting five years ahead is tough. We re-launched CasinoCoin roughly three years ago, and in that time the project has developed in directions we couldn’t have imagined back then.
We are seeing really exciting and innovative emerging use cases for our technology. TrustTracker is just one of these. We absolutely aim to be a central player in the online gaming world, but to achieve that, we need to remain flexible. We have built best-in-class technology and a reputation across the industry for innovation and excellence. We are starting to see real-world use cases making a difference to companies in the sector. We are confident that if we continue along this path, we’ll get to where we want to be.
Besides CasinoCoin, blockchain, the casino industry and other work-related stuff, can you tell me what you like to do when you are off the grid on the weekend ? ? ?
Music is one of my big passions – and a previous career as well. Whenever I can get out to see a band, I do. Of course, that hasn’t been possible very often recently. I also enjoy my ‘binary’ golf game. Either 85 or 105. Rarely anywhere in the middle.
What are the future plans for CasinoCoin ? ? ?
We continue to focus on delivering solutions to the challenges faced by the gaming industry. We have reached a point now where the products we have built are beginning to be used in the real world, and this is obviously exciting. We are working hard to ensure our partners are properly serviced, and that these products deliver.
I am regularly in Vegas – where will be the first place in Vegas where I can experience the advantages of CasinoCoin ? ? ?
CasinoCoin products are not currently live in Vegas’ land-based casinos at this time, but it is certainly something we are looking at. We see some interesting possibilities for blockchain technology in the land-based sector, and we hope to see CasinoCoin integrated on the casino floor in the future.
John, with your expertise in the business what are you bringing to the team ? ? ?
I’ve worked in the gaming industry for many years now, previously with PokerNews and PokerStars. I hope that my experience within this industry, combined with our team’s crypto expertise, gives us an edge over the competition in this space.
I've always been curious what regulatory hurdles CSC has run into so far and what the solutions were ? ? ?
We’ve been in dialogue with several gaming regulators over the past few years. It is no secret that progress is slow in this area. Regulators are, by nature, cautious organisations. And often for good reason. We’ve worked closely with regulators, and I’d like to think it had some real impact at the policy level. Doing anything around money is always challenging and slows things down even more.
Our job is to show them the benefits of our technology, and how it can help them do their jobs and keep players safe.
Do you believe that digital assets have a place for creative thinkers and artists? If so, where can they be found in your own project ? ? ?
Certainly digital assets can help copyright holders keep track of the use of their works, and provide them with a steady stream of income related to those uses. There are a number of those out there now, including VEZT, which is headed by a former music business colleague.
CasinoCoin is only possible because of the creativity of the team. This is a cutting-edge industry, and a lot of what we are attempting to do has never been done before. Anyone involved in such a pursuit needs to be able to think in creative and innovative ways.
Has there been any new surprising use case that showed itself while developing the CSC project ? ? ?
We weren’t necessarily thinking about data security when we started this. But companies like Cammegh have shown us a real need in the space, and how our blockchain can help them provide their customers with heightened security and insight into what’s going on out on their casino floors.
So, this was fun, thank you John, for all your time and efforts to make this work. We have been in constant contact, thank you for this. I know you are a busy man, you are working with a team, to make the CSC Project succeed, I guess not only me but a whole team of Coil Bloggers would like to thank you for all you have done.
With that, I would also like to ask the Coil Blogger Community for their questions handed in like eh ...... weeks/ months ago. This may make the surprise bigger that I actually did something with the question, thank you.
This was a lot of fun, new projects definitely on the horizon ....
STAY SAFE ! ! !
