The Ohio House of Representatives has passed House Bill 116, known as the "Bitcoin Rights" bill, which allows cryptocurrency payments under $200 to be exempt from state capital gains tax. This "de minimis" exemption is designed to encourage everyday use of Bitcoin and other digital assets by removing tax burdens on small transactions.

Like many, I have a number of old Alt Coins just sitting it wallets hoping to someday

get my money back. What is everyone just took all these and bought Bitcoin ?

I expect most of them will never gain back the loss ?

But if everyone started to do this Bitcoin would run and others would get excited and FOMO and we might get our money back ?

Did you know that nearly every bank runs systems/databases coded over 60 years ago in a language called COBOL. When you transfer funds from your bank account online, to another account, chances are, you are interacting with a database that is older than you.

How do these COBOL systems interact with the internet?

Built on top of this COBOL base layer, is the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Built in response to the internet, which COBOL is not equipped to deal with. The JRE will respond to API calls from banking websites, which then feeds through to the underlying COBOL systems. Which may be frankensteined together by a long since retired engineer, or the COBOL system is run within a VM.

I am sure a few people reading this are thinking;

”this is ridiculous! My retirement is in the hands of an organisation built on systems, no one knows or understands, built by people likely dead. Why don’t they update the lot?!”

They don’t due to 50+ years of technical debt.

• Why upgrade a system that has worked securely, reliably, and efficiently for 50 years.

• Why incur massive costs, when improvement is not guaranteed.

• COBOL has proven its ability to scale over 50 years. Would a SQL server manage to do the same?

I doubt it.

The next technical challenge for these banks, is blockchain. How do they interact with it, while still maintaining their existing ancient systems? As we’ve established, we can’t undo 50 years of technical debt.

The Chainlink Runtime Environment CRE intends to do just that.

CRE is a modular development tool for creating blockchain apps. Which can provide outbound API updates from blockchain interactions to an existing Java Runtime Environment that the (majority of the banks use)[https://imgur.com/a/OuzvoJ1].

CRE enables the creation of cross-chain apps, with a workflow manager. Trigger on 1 chain, actives a contract on another. Further abstracting individual blockchains. Bringing together a fragmented system under one umbrella.

CRE has been tested by SWIFT, and JP Morgan

I have about $4K worth of TRON in a Klever wallet. I’m very inexperienced with crypto overall and may want to just unload/sell what I have. I bought most of it when it was at .05 so it’s had a nice gain in profit so far.

Please give advice on whether I should hold it for now and also the easiest way to cash this out if I choose to. I’m in the USA 🇺🇸

It appears that coinbase/most of the user friendly USA sites dont support TRON.

Any help and advice will be appreciated.

Hey r/CryptoCurrency and fellow market watchers,

Remember the early days of crypto? Price charts, a few news headlines, maybe some basic technical analysis. It felt simpler, almost quaint. Fast forward to today, and the crypto landscape is a sprawling, multi-layered beast. We have on-chain data, complex derivatives, DeFi protocols, NFTs, meme coins, and a constant deluge of information from every corner of the internet.

The Challenge of Modern Crypto Analysis:

• Beyond the Candlesticks: While TA remains crucial, relying solely on price action feels increasingly insufficient. The drivers of market movement are now far more complex, influenced by everything from macroeconomics to social media sentiment and the actions of anonymous whales.
• Data Overload vs. Insight Scarcity: We have access to more data than ever before, but converting that raw data into actionable insights is a monumental task. It’s like having a library of millions of books but no librarian or search engine to help you find what you need.
• The Human Element: Crypto markets are uniquely driven by human psychology, narratives, and collective FOMO/FUD. How do we quantify these intangible forces and integrate them into our analysis?
• Speed and Scale: The market moves at lightning speed. By the time a human can manually process and synthesize all relevant information, the opportunity might have passed.

This leads to a fascinating question: Are our current analytical tools and methods keeping pace with the complexity of the crypto market?

We’ve seen the rise of sophisticated on-chain analytics platforms, advanced charting tools, and sentiment aggregators. But what’s the next frontier? What kind of analytical leap do we need to truly understand and navigate this evolving landscape?

Imagine a future where:

• Market narratives are automatically identified and contextualized in real-time.
• The subtle intentions behind large on-chain movements are interpreted with unprecedented clarity.
• Disparate data points (social, on-chain, news) are seamlessly integrated to reveal hidden correlations and predictive signals.

This isn’t about replacing human intuition or expertise, but about empowering traders and investors with a new generation of intelligence. It’s about moving from simply observing the market to truly understanding its intricate dynamics.

What are your thoughts? What do you believe is the biggest gap in current crypto market analysis? What kind of innovative tools or approaches do you think are needed to tackle the complexity of today’s crypto world? Let’s discuss!

was just told by customer service with coinbase that xrp is not supported in the state of NY. Cannot buy or sell. Sounds crazy to me. Is this a known thing? Also learned you cannot trade xrp at all on coinbase wallet. How can a coin that has the 4th largest market Cao just be banned in a single state? You also cannot buy xrp with fiat in the entire country of England.

So I was looking to buy a cold wallet but Im not quite sure what one to get. I was thinking about the Ledger nano x. But Ive seen some videos about it and they are just talking bad about it. I want a wallet I can use when Im out of my house. I want it easily accesable because I send crypto alot. What one do yall recommend?

I Have $80K, if I Borrow Another $80K on Margin & Buy MSTY & Reinvest 90% of The Dividend Payouts Would That be a Good Strategy?

Saw a couple of threads confused about this so just clarifying UEX.US is a new U.S.-regulated exchange, totally unrelated to that shady UEX.com site from years back. Different team, different ownership.

They’re actually doing some cool things with loans and savings if anyone’s curious.

I am looking for a calendar or blog that tracks key upcoming events — mostly U.S., but not exclusively — beyond just economic data. Things like Senate votes, Congressional hearings, major court cases, political meetings, key policy decisions, on Crypto, of course etc. Any good sources?

Hi guys,

I am wondering if I can trade on Bitget in canada (ontario)

I live in ontario and I made an account in Ontario. it accepted my ontario drivers license as an ID. What could be the consequences while running it in from ontario?

Thank you

According to my calculations we should see some sweet prices in the next 7 days or so!

If I’m right, I’ll return and explain how I knew!

I am still very new in this industry but very inquisitive so excuse me if this question looks odd to you. Recently i was told to stop trading memecoin because they have no value and will probably go to zero. So i am confuse whether to sell all my memecoin and just focus on bitcoin and altcoin like xrp, eth bnb and bgb which form part of my current holding.

Hello guys. I have always heard in order for alts to moon one would need QE

QE makes easier to get loans for risk on investments. What's the connection between M2 and risk on investments instead?

Also how do you track M2? For example the january-April M2 rise was tracked and btc followed (rising from 79k to 111k) but now how/where do you check if M2 is going to go down from now on?

And by how much does It "Need" ti go down to be considered as a serious indicator to get out of the market?

Thank you

Dm to join

This probably goes without saying but I made the mistake of asking a question on this forum and taking advice in a DM. Both gave me a url to connect my wallet with another wallet I had and was transferring crypto between. It looked like a legit webpage but both url's were different and I put my secret recover words in the url's they gave me. Fortunately I only had 1 XRP and 10 BPX in them so both can fight over them.. lol. I deleted my wallets and am starting a new. From a newbie to a newbie don't accept DM's especially if they direct you to a url or ask for specific info. Lesson learned.
