I have different opinion about this matters. I would recommend CoinGecko instead, especially for newcomers. It has more clean and less confusing UI with better coin/token categorization. CMC doing that badly, especially when categorizing privacy coins[1].

Coinmarketcap used to be very popular and active for everyone back then, Coingecko was around but hasn't captured the heart of many because of the user based but Coinmarketcap fell off the moment they sold the platform to Binance for 200m, I remember they tried to bring in new people using aidrop to then but the part where they put comments for users turnout to a place for spam and scam.

The UI on the web is also slow, not very responsive, I don't know probably they didn't increase the bandwidth or server but coingecko is given and better in performance than Coinmarketcap by far.

I'm not against earning money, but what some users need to realize is they have to be active all the time if they want a manager to accept them into a campaign. You cannot be told that so n so just launched a campaign and suddenly you make 10 posts really quick and hope to get a spot. Managers will check how active you have been and pick someone else.

Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, it is a business and you are being paid to advertise for them. So since there is a large, you could say "talent pool" to choose campaign participants from, I am not surprised to see that the same problems at Bitcointalk of many people being overlooked for limited campaign spots are happening here too.

Usually, I don't keep my crypto on Metamask, but as you may know, sometimes projects offer something good. As you may know, there is a new ETH layer2 blockchain named Blast and their website is blast.io, they are offering something good. All you have to do is hold ETH on the Blast network and connect your wallet to their website. It will generate some points that will later convert into their native tokens. So, I was farming their airdrops with this wallet, and the scammer stole all my ETH on that chain. But, never mind. I revoked the connection, and all other networks except Blast and Arbitrum were safe.

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope it's not a significant amount, but I wouldn't blame Metamask for it. I learned a similar expensive lesson earlier, after that only Metamask + hardware (Trezor) wallet.
All airdrops where I have to hold ETH on some network are risky for me and that's an additional reason why I don't want to consider them.

I don't think this volatility will last forever. It is already smaller than 5 years ago.
~snip~

As long as BTC is treated (by most) as a speculative asset, I don't expect that there will be any major changes. People buy BTC in order to profit from the change in price, and at the same time they expect this change to be as large as possible.

At the end of 2022, we had a price of 1 BTC of just over $15 000, today it ranges from $56 000 to $72 000 - looking at history, the volatility remained, only the numbers changed.

It is also complicated to work with 2 github accounts,  etc..

Yeah, I know. I use a separate github account for the BitMixList repository and pushing commits to a branch becomes very tricky from the command line due to authentication issues. You have to put the token in your URL and not use SSH keys, and so on.

I figure that the only way you are going to get something in this space through is by developing it under a pseudonym, like how Satoshi did with Bitcoin.
