    On binance i need some clarification!

    It seems i can't post a video screen recording, so I'll explain.

    1. When you go to spot BNB/ETH , u only buy and sell, can't short, right? So can you play short or long in such cases BNB/ETH , only USDT based contracts r max. I know it's probably because it becomes more complicated otherwise, let's say one crypto falls fast then problem with crypto vs crypto contract!

    2. When you click on a candle, the short info box it shows, volume i get it is number of crypto used, transaction: search shows that it's simply number of transactions but I suspect is it the equivalent stable coins or dependent axis coins traded? As in case of BNB/ETH, volume: number BNB traded, transaction: number of ETH traded in the same candle time.

    3. Also if choose coin margined futures i know it's coin as collateral but what exactly does it serve? Why 2nd option? Why not only stable coin futures, is it like people who just hold on to certain coins, never convert to stable coin that's why?

    Can anyone confirm?

    How to find transactions details of old crypto purchase for cost basis determination

    So I purchased some VET, XLM and ADA several years ago, however I can't recall the exact dates I purchased them or the price at the time. I'm pretty sure it was in early 2018, and I believe it was on Binance (pre-Binance.US) but can't say for sure. I can no longer access that Binance account, but ultimately just wondering how I can determine my cost basis if I don't have any way of tracking down the original purchase details. Is there any way to find this information, or do I just guesstimate my purchase price based on the approximate purchase timeframe?

    Uk bed and breakfast rule on CGT

    Hi all wonderful if you can help me out in the below scenario.

    For the example consider I have already used £3000 tax free.

    I bought crypto x 3 years ago and paid £10,000.00 for 10,000 coins.

    I sold x for £50,000 making a profit of £40,000.

    10 days later (in the same tax year) I buy £50,000 of x again, but the price is lower than I sold it for and for £50,000 I get 12500 (so I am now 2500 coins richer).

    What is my tax calculation for this?

    Thank you

    Newb looking for a little advice.

    I'm semi new to crypto. I've had doge for a few years. Pepe and Shiba for a few months. But on a whim i bought $5 worth of bitcoin and set up recurring $5 purchases for all four every two weeks. I know I'm a decade behind on bitcoin. But i was curious if that's just a fools errand getting in late and if that recurring $5 for bitcoin would be better served going into other cryptos? Or a stock?

    I can afford the extra $20-$30 a paycheck. It won't like overextend me, which is advice I've seen on other threads and fits my finances. I don't anticipate being able to retire on all this. Just having some fun and making a few gains.

    Currently i have: 829 doge 2,767,000 shiba 757,000 pepe .0005 bitcoin (this will continue to increase unless it's just a waste and the $5 would be better suited elsewhere)

    Any advice is thoroughly appreciated. Thanks!!

    How to create a meme cryptocurrency?

    Hey there! Lately, it feels like everyone’s coming up with their own crypto—Pupa coin, Pipa coin, and every meme coin you can imagine. It got me thinking about creating one of my own. Does anyone know the method or have a step-by-step guide for making a meme cryptocurrency? Appreciate any tips!

    So, if you were to make your own coin, what would you name it?

    Taxes for selling, holding and buying crypto.

    Since I’m under 18 do I have to pay taxes when I sell crypto? I have crypto sent to me and am wondering if I have to file any of it for taxes. I don’t want to do something and regret it later. Or am I safe to just sell it and not have to worry about any of that. Sorry, this is all pretty new to me.

    How to Safely Earn around 10% Annual Returns in USD Without Using Exchanges?

    I’m looking for a safe way to earn at least 10% annually in USD. Right now, most of my savings (excluding my crypto investments) are yielding 6.5% per year (in BRL), which doesn’t even keep up with Brazil’s high inflation rate.

    My goal is to achieve at least 10% annual returns in USD, ideally through something like pools or yield-earning options. However, the method needs to be risk-free.

    Additionally, I prefer not to leave my funds on exchanges for legal and security reasons—I store my crypto in a hard wallet.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for achieving this safely and efficiently?

    moving from exchanges to wallets

    can someone explain (without judgement hopefully) why it's necessary to remove from the exchange and store in the 'cold' wallet?

    is that just when you are ready for long term holds? should I be doing this daily? how does this work and how often should I be doing this?

    How do y’all find the best coins at under 0.1

    strange question but as i*'*ve been on this journey to try to learn as much as possible, I so see many of y'all "I invested when it was .10, or 0.008" or whatever (so likely brand new coin) and now are holding with some very impressive gains - I know this can take patience and can take years, but I'm still impressed.

    my question, how do you find the coins that are so new you are getting in so early? usually by the time I start seeing things they are already maybe .20 or .50 or 1.28 (examples) and though these are still great prices, they aren't day one prices.

    Teach me your wayssssssss
    (also willing to do reading on my own if you have resources that helped you figure all this stuff out! not looking for easy street, just some guidance!)

    Anyone hear of allbounty.com? Is this a scam?

    I have been airdropped and NFT that claims I can go the allbounty.com to cash in a reward. It sounds like a scam to me and wants me to connect a wallet to their site so I’m 99% sure this is a scam but just wanted to see if anyone hear is familiar with that site, airdropped rewards in general, or if I’m totally wrong and this is a legitimate, normal thing.

    I have never really dealt with NFT’s or been airdropped anything so any advice would be very appreciated. In apologize in advance if this is not the right place to post this, just wasn’t sure where else I could ask.

    How Can We Profit if China Unbans Crypto Soon?

    Hey Reddit,

    So, there’s been buzz about China potentially unbanning cryptocurrency in the next couple of months. If this happens, it could shake up the market in a big way. As someone looking to make smart moves, I’m wondering:

    1. Which Coins Could Skyrocket? – Should we expect Bitcoin and Ethereum to lead the charge, or will smaller coins (like ones tied to Chinese projects) see the biggest pumps?
    2. Mining Opportunities – If China allows mining again, could that impact the value of mining-related assets or companies?
    3. Trading Strategies – Is it better to go long on major tokens now, or should we wait for clearer signals?
    4. Sector Focus – Could blockchain companies tied to supply chain, gaming, or DeFi see a bigger boost in adoption and value?
    5. Timing the News – How do you all plan to position yourselves ahead of this news? Are there specific indicators or strategies you use to avoid getting caught in FOMO?

    I’m not trying to gamble blindly but want to leverage this kind of insider knowledge (if it’s legit) to make smart, well-timed plays. Would love to hear from seasoned traders and anyone with insights on how China’s involvement has historically moved the market.

    Let’s share ideas and maybe make some moves together!

    Regarding a potential rug pull

    Hi everyone, recently I got a token which currently I believe to be a honeypot.
    Here is the contract on Base: 0x14e5f5cee3b872cd1d9f20880781e952a5117d00
    There's still value in the token. Is there anything I can do now?

    Stopping a BTC send?

    I have a BTC send stuck in “pending” at River for over 12 hours. Another send from Coinbase took ten minutes. Anybody know how this happens and if there’s any way to cancel a send once it is started? Support seems to be closed on weekends.

    Good resources to learn about crypto?

    So I am looking to get into crypto a bit and find that the space is filled with questionable information for people starting out. Has anyone used any resources that really helped to give you an understanding of the space? Things like a youtube series or books that have helped? Or maybe even more in depth like an online course from somewhere like edX? I am planning on putting $100 into some form of crypto every 2 weeks (pay schedule) and I feel like it would be better if I just wasn't just randomly picking any old option.

    Help

    Hello, I have a question regarding meme coins as I am fairly new to the crypto space. I bought a coin and it did well put when I tried to pull out the profits back into the solana coin I received nothing. I specifically bought a coin santaclausesolana and I put 1 dollars in and it went up to 100 dollars when it increased but as I've said when I swapped it to solana I didn't receive anything. Did I make a mistake?

    How to rotate into alts?

    If one has a small amount to play with, 4k, and it's 60/40 split between Btc and Eth, when and how would a rotation into Alt coins be done?

    I've tried to do as much research on this--(I've got a short list of alts I'd like to get into), don't have dreams to be driving lambos and won't ape into obscure meme coins. If I stick to the centralized exchanges, for those who rotated, how did you rotate?

    Looking at the upside and magnitude of growth in ie. Hedera, versus Eth, would a rotation into alts mean slowly shifting momentum into stong layer 0, 1 and 2 coins, and dropping btc and Eth completely. Because of their miniscule gains in proportion to my ability to buy a portion of them?

    Also, if using a 4k invested amount, when is one spread too thin? 10 alts?

    I'm intending on cashing it all out, once I've hit my deadline date (between Feb-March) --not chasing a dollar target. Just want to get the most out of this season.

    TL:DR If you had 4k, how would you rotate into alts, and how much would you throw into the alts you've rotated into.

    Thx all for the suggestions, strategies and advice.
