The federal police (similar to the EUA FBI) were unable to break the encryption of a protester against the current left-wing government. According to the news, an unsuccessful brute-force attempt using 10 million passwords was made. Without accessing the encrypted device, the PF (federal police) failed to investigate the information requested by the minister of the "supreme" federal court (STF).

This is very interesting.

I am afraid that such situations may lead to regulations over cryptography, which are very bad for privacy and the security of everyone.

If you read the cypherpunk manifesto , Eric Hughes deplore those regulations.

Take a look:

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation’s border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

We'll see. And Ethereum started as a base for the ICO mania, which later turned into a scam. Today, ETH maintains several popular and widely used tokens like USDT. For example, a lot of work is being done on Solana now, there is a high probability that some useful token will be created in that pile.

There is too much hype on solana, but if you look at the charts, its performance isnt that good.

The ATH was 260 in 2021, and it is now about 40% down, just like ETH. Both charts are very similar. Looks almost the same coin (both same time range)



Ok, it had a better perfomance when you look the past year only, but I don't think this means a lot. I look at the long term, and 1y investment is very small period.

I agree that ICO turned into scams, but memecoins are scams just the same...

Some time ago I bought some AI projects. All coins where in ETH blockchain, none in solana (of the ones I was looking for).

I think serious projects are still in eth for the most part... This is one reason I am still holding it. I wouldn't move to solana, specially now that Trump is doing crazy stuff, so American coins doesnt mean a lot anymore.... (IMO)

bonus rank will be probably 20% (not final decision yet)

What would that mean exactly?

In my case, would I get mythical rank for becoming an editor?

Ethereum has been bothering me for the past year. At some point, I needed cash and decided to liquidate it. If I remember correctly, it was around $3400 at that point. I was probably lucky in everything because after that, ETH just kept sinking.

I currently have an almost insignificant amount, but I decided not to consider it an option when diversifying my portfolio. Will hold Ethereum only as long as I have to.

I'm pretty sure Ethereum's best days are over, and it will at best stay at the value it has had for the last year.
Does anyone more experienced have any reasons why I might be thinking wrongly?

I still have a large ethereum stash, bought at 300 in 2017.

I sold some for 4k in 2021, and didn't sold anything in the current cycle

I am now considering selling some at 3500 zone ,if it ever comes back.

However,  I don't see a clear replacement for ethereum. Solana looks just a memecoin hub to me, while important projects are still in ethereum chain.

Estou pensando em diversificar, ir pro mercado de ações, ganhar dividendos. Tvz seja uma boa fazer isso no prox ano que o ₿ provavelmente irá corrigir..

Acho que vou começar a pensar em comprar ações da strategy e cash3 só pra começar rsrs.

Eu acho furada ir pra ações brasileiras. Eu procuraria as gringas

Não existem nem ações de tecnologia no Brasil. Aqui é varejo, bancos e estatais de energia..

And ethereum is not sinking as much as monero. It used to be top 7 coin. Now it is about 30?
Ethereum continues strong at 2nd.

Are you for real?! 
It's super easy for everyone to check the charts and see that Monero is up over 103% in one year,  and ethereum is down over 46% in one year.
Ethereum is a sinking ship and everyone is constantly dumping staking rewards and Vitalik foundation is selling.

I think you never looked those coins in the coinmarketcap. You are just repeating what is all over the internet about ethereum bad performance or whatever...

But ethereum was worth $300 in 2017, same as XMR.

XMR is now 260 and ETH is 1800... ETH price was like 6x and monero -40%

And you call eth a sinking ship? lol

New exchange should replace eXch and they should try to do something better in future.

I don't think it will be better.... the new exchange will probably have to comply with regulations in a way eXch didnt.
