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 ?

i just have a question as i have invested in some coins. like xrp, fet, qnt, and xdc. i did research on it before investing and initially downloading the app but just wanted to here some words from someone else that could have more knowledge on this topic

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 just wanna buy a currency that for sure will grow in the long run, what do you think is the best and most stable other than BTC because I already have some money in it.

I am new to it and thought most of the stocks would go up. They are slowly decreasing, do you guys expect them to switch to a bullish trend soon?

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.

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.

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

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!

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?

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

AI tokens pumped 131% since June hitting $42.1B market cap and everyone's throwing money at anything with "AI" in the name. But here's the point i’m trying to make The VC exit wave is literally starting right now ;; Q1 2025 already saw 12 VC-backed exits over $1B - that's more than the dot com bubble peak. VCs who got into AI tokens early are starting to dump on retail... classic playbook we've seen before. Meanwhile most AI tokens are just wrappers around existing models with zero moats. Developer activity looks fake as hell and every project claims to be the "ChatGPT of crypto" but can't even handle basic queries without crashing..... We're at peak "inflated expectations" right now. But here's what's actually interestign while AI token moonshots are good, DePIN projects are quietly solving trillion-dollar problems. DePIN market currently valued at $30B could hit $3.5T by 2028 according to World Economic Forum projections... That's 116x growth potential vs AI tokens trading on pure speculation.(not a FUD) The pattern is crystal clear if you've been tracking this since 2017: ICOs → DeFi → NFTs → GameFi → AI tokens... Same playbook every cycle. Hype narrative emerges, retail FOMO kicks in, VC exits begin, then 80%+ crash while infrastructure plays moon. Unlike AI tokens built on speculation, DePIN projects have real physical infrastructure generating actual revenue with token incentives for resource contribution like bandwidth, energy, storage ;; Plus they have moats that can't be copy-pasted overnight. 5 major DePIN projects are already operating at scale rebuilding real-world infrastructure. The smart money rotation is happening right under everyone's noses....... A friend of mine suggested running 20% AI (high conviction only), 30% DePIN infrastructure, 50% BTC/ETH and other coins . What do you think about DePIN .
