Unique ($UNQ) staking launched on Huobi Earn - apy up to 25%
Mentions
TG bots are buzzing for sure. In Telegram sometimes the shilling about them is even annoying! When it comes to investing, I rather stick to overlooked, often undervalued niches, like oracles (LINK, DIA, NEST), NFTs & Metaverse (SAND, ENJ, UNQ). I tend to have better results on investing in value other than trend following strategies - that's why. When it comes to the bots, I haven't tried them yet, but it might be handy, specially for airdrop farming.
I won't put in 10K, and neither will I put 5K. A couple of hundred, and when I'm more confident about the direction, continue to increase. As good as that sounds, I missed out on DAFI's 300% move in the last few days. hahaha. And I'm really getting on UNQ quite early, just spreading my nets, seeing where this takes me.
I'm very uninterested in what it is. I'm only doing one thing; buying the dip (ETH, UNQ, DOT), and waiting for another ATHs. It's that simple.
> I'm sure most of you have heard about the developments on CFG, CULT, DOT, and AVAX I'm closer to DOT and some of its parachains ACA, UNQ, EQ, and PDEX. Polkadot's roadmap seems promising. I know CULT. This is one of the projects that are on my Defi's watchlist, but I'm not familiar with CFG. Is any major development incoming?
ETH, DOT, & UNQ for me. Okay, allow me have a 4th one, GLMR. I'm up on these alts by 11% so far. DCA'd into the market, slow and steady. Hopefully, the market takes us on that wide ride soon.
Unique Network is another Polkdot parachain. Currently staking UNQ on huobi. But hopefully, its proposed defi staking launched before EOY.
I think that list isn't complete without UNQ. I think it's very undervalued at this point, and being one of the most active parachains on Polkadot is actually going to give it edge over others.
DOT is a good project, I stake DOT. I stake one of its parachains too, Unique Network's UNQ. I think they both got some fantastic potential and are really undervalued RN.
Maybe $2K on Unique Network's UNQ, and I'm not exaggerating. LOL. Going straight to the point, I just think that NFTs will become big deals wen next bull run. Observe what's going to happen.
That makes us two. Now I accumulated some more UNQ, DOT, & BAND on the dump. BAND rose 60%+ the next day. Polkadot also moved higher as well. Unique is totally going to go parabolic in the next bull rally.
Holding up? Nope, they aren't. But are we seeing very good opportunities in the market RN? Oh yeah. I'm buying more $UNQ at these low prices. I'm not even going to mind how much more we can dump further. I think in a couple of months, we'll be far above the prices we are trading today.
Be patient. Take profits. The last pump ETH made, from about $1K to $1700 fetched me a cool 70% and I was glad I took some profits off the table. Did make some profits in between too. But I'm pushing in some of those profits into UNQ RN now that we dipped. Maybe we'll dip some more, I don't know so I'm just trying to be careful.
Nice development I'll say. That's kinda similar to Unique Network and Lemonade Social for the Coin Bureau event. It's quite fascinating what NFTs are used for these days. More reason for me to be bullish on UNQ I guess.
I'm not sure about SOL anymore, but considering the last Polkadot Decoded event, I believe that DOT and its parachains ASTR ACA and UNQ are good picks. LINK is a great Oracle. Within the same class, I'm also holding DIA and API3. > What are your thoughts on this and are you accumulating some of these alts or waiting for some new narrative I'm doing both. CryproRank is being a great source to join IDOs and jump into new projects. But I rather invest over 90% of my money into well-established projects.
Very good documentation. I'm happy to come across this one. Quite useful. Reddit NFTs have been the topic of discussion lately. Not only that, it's gotten a decent amount of transactions (buying and selling) too. And prolly this guide will further increase that. LOL. If there's any other NFT I'll love to have, it has got to be Unique Network's chelos & spunks for its passive income features. Been accumulating UNQ on the low key as well because I believe in Unique's cause in revolutionizing the NFT space.
>I know that, that's why my holdings are low caps as well and mostly data tokens OCEAN AND DIA, but also UTK DAFI, and UNQ. Let's see how it will be when the bulls are back.
Alts all the way. However, I don't dispute having bitcoin as a hedge tho. ETH's merge hasn't been priced in you know. You also see projects like UNQ, altho dropped in value using during this bear market still got potential for a lot of 10x pump tho.
I receive payments in USDC. I use UNQ to buy NFTs on Unique Network's unqnftio marketplace. A lot of MATIC and FANTOM goes into staking, I guess you don't want to hear that. But that's basically what I use the most. Others, I buy, hold, and sell.
I love the attention polkadot is receiving recently. Top projects launching on dot as well. Also seeing some dot parachains like Unique Network UNQ do amazingly well in the NFT space. It's all good IMO.
This is my take since 2018 and even after this massive carnage, overall I'm overall green on my portfolio with BTC and ETH holding the ship! All the rest is red!! But I believe that's mostly because I've been buying into them for way longer! I'm actually very curious about Polkadot an how and if it will return to ATH or not... I'm quite heavy on their ecosystems with UNQ, RMRK, ACA, OCEAN, etc and wonder what would be the impact of the price of the parachain prices as DOT possibly struggles to make new highs...
It's a shame to have DOGE above DOT all this time. I think DOT has come to take its place. DOT and a couple of its parachains are doing awesome. Maybe we'll also see projects like Unique Network UNQ flip DOGE too. Who knows?
Short answer would be staking! Almost all the projects this days offer staking, even brand new tokens like UNQ allow staking, and the ones who don't, there's always defi, with another layer of risk... I like binance for the convinence of having many assets available and having one stop for everything
I'm closer to DOT and some specific parachains like EQ, ASTR and UNQ. I like what projects can do with Substrate and you can learn a lot by browsing Substrate's webpage. Cosmos is also a great choice, but I prefer Dot's scalability.
I'm a great fan of the NFT space and in terms of low caps I'm a great fan of UNQ (Polkadot), WAX (Eosio) and QTZ (Kusama). I'd also add MATIC for sure, but I guess that's not a small cap anymore... right?
I'm overall bullish on a couple of projects in the market right now, irrespective of price and market movement. For one, Polkadot. I feel it's very undervalued and may see some huge, exponential run when the rally fully sets in. Unique Network is a parachain on Polkadot and is definitely another one I'm bullish about. One of the next-gen ecosystems for nft gaming development and all. It's already providing tools to make this easy for developers. Quite an interesting roadmap they got and that's why I'm bullish on this one, and its team too. The UNQ token is another one I'll be stacking a lot of in the long term.
I'm a great fan of Polkadot's crowdloans. I've got into ACA, UNQ and EQ crowdloans. Why there is no case study for Parallel Finance on Substrate?
Crypto trading is pretty difficult and IMO a no no for beginners! Staking is nice, easy, low risk and hands off investment! This days on platforms like binance or kucoin one can stake hundreds of coins smoothly ranging from top 10 coins like BNB to smaller ones like ALICE. And as one gets more confident and want to dig deeper into the crypto space, staking can be done directly with the protocols like UNQ or URUS which might not be listed. Trading is another whole bull game... I don't say it's impossible to make money with it consistently, but it's extremely though!
I'll tell you exactly what I'll do with my own money. Buy some substrapunks and chelobricks NFTs. Well, you have to have them in pair. You get to share 50% quarterly of the Unique Network marketplace fees. I think the interest in NFTs will continue to grow, and so will the interest in UNQ NFTs. Especially now that there's a cryptopunk distribution in the community as [mentioned](https://cointelegraph.com/news/a-slice-of-the-punk-cryptopunk-nft-to-be-split-into-56-000-pieces) on Cointelegraph. Massive adoption there if you ask me.
NFTs and gaming are matches made in heaven. However, I'm not too much locked on gameplays tho. I love to stake those NFTs for gaming projects that can be staked. My way for some passive income. Unique Network NFTs for instance are amazing. Just holding those NFTs qualifies you to share from the UNQ marketplace rev share quarterly. Awesome in the space right now.
In hindsight it's easy! UST costed me a fortune, but at the time looked solid legit! I made the most money with ETH so far! There are projects like UNQ or URUS on which I expect a lot, because I actually believe in them, but just the future would be able to prove me right or wrong... Regarding your experience with VET, I feel the same with a little edge. I did a lot of research and it's price action have been a disgrace, but I still believe in it! It's very difficult to value a token because there are no profits to take into account... in the end of the day everything is almost purely hype based..
Most proud: Polkadot. I'm holding DOT almost since its inception and I've contributed with some parachains ASTR, PHA, UNQ and EQ. I'm proud of the network as a whole. Least proud: Luna. I have no words to express my feeling here.
Polkadot and its parachains GLMR, UNQ and ASTR. Huge potential.
It depends... it used to be coinbase because I used to feel safer there... then binance for the convenience, mexc global to have early access to interesting small caps (UNQ, CMP, etc), DEXes for the same reason plus anonimity... can't pick one really!
DOT is a top pick. Its recently launched parachains like EQ, UNQ and the launch of aUSD by ACA can really strengthen the network. MATIC and SOL are also great picks.
My biggest position from the list is Polkadot, but I'm also holding Helium. I have a considerable amount of DOTs locked due to EQ and UNQ crowdloans. I'm very confident on the future of this network.
I've got ENJ on Binance, but I know they are listed on other exchanges too. Even though TGE has been completed, UNQ isn't listed yet (but their canary network (QTZ) is listed on MEXC Global). Do you think AllianceBlock is a good pick now?
Yeah, according to the CRO report though, it was 100% CAGR. I assume it's an approximate. I have heard of ENJ and UNQ but very vaguely. Where are they listed? DOT is definitely a good one, I think a while ago Allianceblock mentioned having their DEX on the Polkadot network too but I assume it was because of or through their SuperColony partnership. And yes, you're probably not aware of it because the GameFi aspect of it was just recently brought up.
I love this network. My DOTs are either locked due to staking or crowdloans, mainly EQ and UNQ. I've started my journey contributing with Acala and Moonbeam and never stopped.
I'm thinking about using Trezor/Ledger options, but right now I've moved my ETH to Trust Wallet along with other positions like Sol and Link. I've also moved all of my DOTs to Polkadot JS and I'm keeping some of my parachain tokens EQ UNQ and ACA in there too. I'm doing this slowly since the majority of my position is still on exchanges until I find a better way to get them out and if cold wallets are really the best option in my case. I also need to put more research on it as well.
The strategy looks simple: To hodl and wait for the price to get back to its ATH. The problem is that many people will go nuts in the meanwhile. I'm not comfortable, but I keep DCAing some altcoins. Since you've mentioned DOT, this is one of my main positions. Acala is a strong parachain (the launch of aUSD was great) and I've contributed to their crowdloan along with UNQ and GLMR. I'm confident of the future of the network, but it can really take a while. It's not as easy as it seems.
I felt the same thing here exploring DOT, I threw some DOT at the Unique Network crowdloan to try it out. It won a slot, so i get some UNQ tokens, probably won't be worth anything in this bear market, but it was fun contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem. I am to be doing a lot of more research in the coming crowdloans to dabble in again.
I'd go for Polkadot, since the majority of my DOTs are locked on staking or crowdloan's contributions (EQ, UNQ). I believe the network has a long road ahead. It's almost 90% since its ATH and I'm not seeing fundamentals getting weaker.
Short answer: ETH isn't going anywhere Not so short answer: there is no such thing as a winner takes it all in crypto and all the help that ETH received from scaling solutions like L2s (MATIC/LRC), cross chain (DOT/UNQ) or integration (ICP/BNB) proves that. The ETH killer narrative is dead and there's plenty of space for everyone, but hardly anyone will take ETH's crown
I believe that there is still more downside potential, celcius is another great systemic risk Certainly a lot of projects will fail and wont come back at the end of the bear market and LUNA was a great example showing that don't even a top10 project is out of risk! I'm just speculating about when will we be back to ATH, but I'd say there will be a long crypto winter that can last a couple of years! Meanwhile I believe it's the best time to learn and study properly into solid projects to invest and DCA into (I have a few under my radar like DAFI, URUS and UNQ) as on bear markets we have time to do all of this without being afraid of a pump on the next 5 minutes! The only good thing bear markets have is kicking the FOMO out of the system!
Every month I take 15% of my paycheck to buy crypto/stocks. I'll keep buying. Stock markets are bleeding today and so is crypto. I'm DCAing NVDA, PLAB and BABA (stocks) and DOT, SOL and AVAX (Crypto). I don't understand how a network like DOT can be so undervalued with so many parachains getting onboard. I've contributed with the last crowdloans of EQ, UNQ and I'm already looking for the next one. SOL and AVAX are essential infrastructure for the future of crypto. It makes no sense for these projects to be so undervalued. We can get financial freedom tomorrow if we take the opportunity today.
You can't be more correct. But I've been in this market for a while, I've built a strategy and for the past few years, my strategy has remained the same. And that's only buying into credible projects. Cause at the end of the day, only credible projects will survive. Personally, my top choices are DIA, Chainlink, DAFI, & UNQ too. If you take a dive into these projects, you'll notice that these projects are solving either blockchain problems or real-life problems.
Just a few examples: BNB (I'm using their platform daily), DOT (I use their network for transfers like a bank account), UNQ/QTZ (I use their tools to create/mint my NFTs). I've got interested for XLM. Is this really 0 fee?
Equiibrium TGE is ongoing at the moment, I have registered and I hope I get a slot. What are the USPs of UNQ
Great, I saw some complaints but it looks like isolated cases. I can't wait to get my UNQ tokens. Their TGE should happen shortly after they get launched as a parachain.
I'm currently loading up on Moonbeam, hoping to get to around 2500 by the end of June (with on-chain staking at 22%), then Astar, more Remark, and by then Unique will have fully launched UNQ, Karura, Shiden. There's so many it's hard to choose DOT over the ecosystem project tokens.
I never bought a single thing just because of the hype or whatever. If I like what I see when I do my research and if I find it useful I will invest, definitely. That won't guarantee that you will be 100% successful and I believe that we all made shitty investments from time to time. I made a mistake with RVX it's dumping constantly and I sold my bag as soon as I realized that they probably won't deliver. As you said, OP, I stopped believing in it... On the other side, I still believe in XRT even if the price could be much better. I also don't have plans to give up on QTZ and UNQ as well, especially because Unique Network won the parachain slot on both Kusama and Polkadot. I like to compare this to spin fishing or fishing in general. If you don't trust your bait, you won't be catching a damn thing. It's the same with gains in crypto.
I used the dip to accumulate some and then I put it in the Unique Network crowdloan. I made myself a favor because they won the auction slot and now my DOT is going to be locked for as long as UNQ is operating as a parachain. I'm not going to be able to sell it. :)
To be honest I made my peace with volatility a long time ago. I'm still in because I wanna make money, just like you. I needed to change something in my life and crypto was the obvious choice. I knew from the beginning that there is no chance that all my investments will be successful ones but, IMO, there is no reason to think about quitting. Even when the market is down there are still things that we can do. The dip helped me to accumulate more DOT which increased my position in the Unique Network auction. Basically, I lent my DOT and will get some UNQ tokens for free and will get my DOT back. You can always make some passive income as well. Farming, staking, lending... It can be very beneficial when the market is uncertain. I like going with stablecoins when the market is red. Currently, my largest positions are on Kalmar and YieldApp but I'm thinking about more diversification lately. Don't dwell too much on the things that you can't change, that's my motto.
I already have some RMRK, you think that would get past me? No way. :D Questions like "wen listing" and "wen TGE are just counterproductive. And those folks will definitely be first in line to bitch about something that is not done right. If you wanna make hail marries then I guess you should go with meme coins. If I must talk specifically about UNQ/QTZ, they are working their asses off to make a platform that you can use to mint NFTs without any barriers (+ a bunch of other things) and you are complaining about how fast things are happening? Well, that's just not right and it's not fair.
I never invested in anything so that I can get rich overnight. 100x is a marathon race and not a sprint as many people think. Even if there are bunch of tokens getting out every day there are still some quality ones. If you think that it's unlikely to get the new 100x then the glass must be half empty for you. Time is just another ingredient in this game. Time invested in decent research can help you to make good gains. My research time paid off when it comes to my KALM investment and I think that it will be the same case with UNQ when it gets listed. Not to mention some tokens that are in the top 100 right now. I'm not investing in things without the usecase like memecoins and crap like that. It's just a vaporwave that will end up badly for most of those that got into them, or at least that's just my opinion.
I think DOT is also worth investing in. I expect a lot of action when the altcoin season starts. I think I didn't sell a single token yet. They are now pledged to the Unique Network crowdloan and I will them back after it's over. I will also get my share of UNQ tokens which is one of the things I wanted to get before we enter the green market. I think NFTs, in general, will be important in 2022 and Polkadot seems like a great place for development and Unique recognized that on time.
Oh, so the token is not out yet? Another similarity with UNQ. Do they have a date for that, or...?
It's hard to answer this question because I'm actually expecting to make money on all my investments. I know that is not possible in most cases but if I don't trust the project then why should I invest in it? It doesn't matter if the project is bigger or smaller if they have a solid usecase and tech behind it I will invest. I can tell you what underrated projects I am having or eyeing right now. I will soon get my hands on UNQ tokens because their crowdloan started already. When it comes to NFTs, I really believe that they can make some significant changes on the market. They are building their infrastructure on Substrate and they are looking forward to solving the NFT problems that exist on Ethereum. KALM is another one that should not be overlooked, IMO. They are constantly in green in the last 45 days or so, not much affected by this dip. It's both DeFi and NFT hub but for me, DeFi options are really good. I am lending my BUSD there but you can also do some yield farming with or without leverage. It's on BSC so it's close to no fees + it will be available on Fantom and Avalanche as well.
I believe is broad diversification in and out of crypto both in assets and in income generators! Let’s start with the income generators: A job (or more) - I have 2 Rental property - I have 1, and hopefully on the next crypto bull market I’ll get another one Divididend paying stocks - also diversified, have a few, because have been focusing more in crypto lately Bank investments - from saving accounts to bonds - also have a few but the bad returns made me move heavier into defi. Staking - I stake everything I can! Being BTC one of the few exceptions Defi - here I mostly provide mostly liquidity into stablecoin pools on pancake swap using kalmy.app Then in terms of a assets: Real estate Stocks - diversified portfolio, I have a world fund with trend following strategies to take care of my leg work Crypto - here I tend do diversify something like: 50% between BTC and ETH 30% in stables 15% in large caps like DOT, BNB, ADA, etc 5% in micro caps like URUS, UNQ, QTZ, etc Gold & cash - I’d say between those 2, 10% of the broad portfolio should be the bare minimum
>14% isn't too bad, less risky too. I don't like to risk much, that's why I'm usually involved with the smaller but sustainable returns. If the APYs are fixed, everything up to 20% seems ok to me if the team is legit. Dynamic APYs are different but still I will be satisfied with some lower amounts like 30% that I'm getting on Kalmar. Bifrost is also a kind of a wealth management platform, I think that they will also be contributing to the UNQ crowdloan. Will see how it goes, it started today.
Scalability is a must if you want to have a bright future. Do you know what kind of returns DEIP is preparing? Oh, and my DOT is contributed to UNQ crowdloan, it started today, idk if you saw that.
There will be a lot of projects competing for the parachain spot but I think that UNQ has the best chances when it comes to the 3rd batch. In the end, they already won the Kusama slot for their canary network + they announced that Bifrost will support the crowdloan as well. Regarding the 14% APY, yes, it's fixed.
I agree about the market not being in the best shape lately but I still think that there are things to do. You mentioned staking, which should always be considered as an option, especially during times like these. I am mostly staking and lending stablecoins, altcoins are better when we have green tendencies. My USDC is on YieldApp, getting 14% APY staking there and I'm getting close to 30% on lending BUSD on Kalmar. Even if the market is bad I still want to participate in the Polkadot auctions. They are starting in two days but I am most interested in the UNQ crowdloan. It's the first NFT chain for Polkadot and Kusama and I think it's worth investing early. Both DeFi and NFTs will be huge in 2022 and will be making a lot of money.
You don't necessarily need to invest in big projects if you feel like they don't have much space to grow. I am sure that some mainstream ones like ETH, BTC, DOT... have a lot of room to grow but I also like investing in some new stuff or projects with lower MCap. I've been bagging YLD and KALM lately because they are the main source of my passive income in addition to Celsius and Freeway (that I don't utilize much lately). When it comes to the projects that are not yet listed, UNQ is my no.1 priority. They are conducting the crowdloan on March 14th and I already prepared my DOT tokens to participate. It's the last chance to get some before the official TGE and listing. There are things to do, we just need to do a lot of research. As a matter of fact I keep seeing BitDAO a lot lately.
So many good opportunities out there. I am gonna get more DOT because the auctions are approaching and I want to participate in UNQ crowdloan. Got more YLD recently as well because it's my main source of passive income lately and the more tokens you HODL the higher the APYs that you can make. I am also doing some BUSD lending on Kalmar and I wanna get some more before they go to $2. I would love to get some BNB soon before the next cycle start.
I agree with most of the things you said, OP. Personally, I find it a lot easier to manage my investment when I am early in. You can watch the development process in real-time and you can make some conclusions based on their actions. Sometimes I give up after a cpl of months if I am not satisfied but it's also easier to stop that way. Feeling lucky that I was early in FWT and UNQ. FWT already paid off and I am waiting for the upcoming UNQ crowdloan on March 14th. TGE and listing should happen after that. I think that NFTs on Polkadot just makes sense and I want to invest in that.
I think that I'll be satisfied with what I accumulated so far. I always prefer green over red. I got enough DOT under $20 and now I am going to use it to get some UNQ on the crowdloan. It's starting on March 14. I am making a nice PA on YieldApp, I have 14% APY on my USDC and I can always use that gains to DCA back in some other alts. Gonna do the same with my Kalmar returns from BUSD lending. If the bear market continues, my strategy will be to do some more staking and lending, especially when it comes to stablecoins.
Metaverse is already here. Our grandfathers used to work on factories and now we use notebooks. Our life is digital and many of our friends are also our "followers". IMHO, we are already INSIDE the metaverse. You can get involved with all of this through high quality projects mainly related to Metaverse directly (SAND, MANA) or NFT (UNQ, QTZ), Infrastructure (DOT) and Web3 (AR, HNT). All of these trends are interconnected.
Web3 is getting a lot of attention, in general. I saw that DIA made some nice partnerships. I saw Fuse among their recent partners. It will be interesting to see Web3 in NFTs, UNQ is also working on that.
Regarding major ones ETH, DOT and BTC are a must in 2022. I think that we are going to have a good year despite the bad beginning. I wouldn't rule out MATIC as well but there are also some with smaller MCap that can be quite productive this year. I know that I won't be giving up on YLD and staking on their app just like I know that I'm gonna HODL my UNQ tokens as soon as I get them after the TGE in Q2. Do you think that there will be some major changes in the top 10 by the EOY?
Nice and technical thread about Web3. I believe Web3 is directly connected to NFTs and Metaverse, so I'm going long for some projects like Web3 (AR, HNT), Metaverse (SAND) and NFT (ELEN, QTZ, UNQ). Based on your knowledge about it, what are your best bets for Web3 projects?
You shouldn't stick to one platform, it limits your chances. I won't be focusing only on Binance in my answer because I really think that you should explore other options and maybe some coins can make you change your mind. I'd invest in KALM right now because I don't think that we are going to see lower price for accumulation. It's a DeFi banking platform on BSC and they practically don't have much competitors out there. Another PA platform that can make you some gains is YieldApp, you can even stake BTC there and get 8% APY, which is not bad at all from my POV. Also, I'm bagging more DOT before it goes to 3 digits and I want to use it to participate in the upcoming UNQ crowdloan.
Never be greedy but buy when everybody's panicking, I agree with that. I already spent some money on KALM and YLD mainly because I don't expect them to drop like some major ones because of the simple fact. A lot of circulating tokens are staked or locked on their platforms and there are not many people selling because if they HODL they can make some passive income at least. DOT is still under $20 and that is enough for me to go in and get more. I am planning to use it to participate in the UNQ crowdloan, they said that they are going for the next batch which will happen in March. There are always things to do, even if the market is bleeding. And everything is better than the panic.
I already got some more DOT under $20. It just makes sense to me because the whole ecosystem is growing. I am planning to use some DOT to participate in the UNQ crowdloan that will probably happen in March. I also bought some YLD, because I wanna reach the highest tiers so that I can go for the maximum APY on staking there. It won't dip much because 3/4 of the circulating supply is already staked or locked on the platform according to their stats. I decided to get more KALM as well, they announced that they will probably go multichain. They are on BSC now but it looks like there will be Avax and Fantom integration soon. It looks logical to get some now while everything dips.
Regarding major ones, I think that BTC, ETH, DOT and MATIC are a must. When it comes to some midcaps, I'd say that my go-to coins are OCEAN and EWT. You should not exclude lowcap projects from your portfolio because there are some projects with great fundamentals and with nice communities. If you care about the future of NFTs, then you should take a look at UNQ and QTZ for example. Both are created by Unique Network, the first NFT chain on Polkadot. I also have some passive income generators like YLD and KALM. Staking on YLD and doing some lending on KALM. If you spread your stuff around smart, you can increase the chances for more gains.
I believe work has already been redefined. Our grandfathers worked on factories and today we use computers and we don't even have to be on person at the work place. Metaverse has begun a long time ago. The key point is that it will grow much more fast from now on because many projects are embracing it. My best picks for metaverse are related to NFTs (ETH, DOT, ELEN, UNQ and QTZ). NFTs are an essential component of an open Metaverse. ETH still the king, DOT is growing fast with Substrate, ELEN is doing a good job by allowing instagram influencers to monetize their content through NFTS. QTZ is UNQ's canary network and already a parachain on kusama and UNQ aims to be a fully-deployed parachain on Polkadot.
These are great questions, man. Really. Of course I'm seeking for wealth's growth. Who isn't? For some projects I'm both an user and investor. Some examples: CAKE and KALM (I hodl the token and also do leverage yield farming), UNQ and QTZ (I hodl both and I've also used uniqueminter to create an NFT collection of my racing car's photos. This collection stil private for now btw), BNB (I have the token and also an account), ETH (who isn't an user/investor at the same time for this one?). You are right when you said "I use them for different reasons". This can be tricky. For example: I hodl AAPL, but I don't have an iPhone. I can just sell my stocks tomorrow if the price does not reflect the cash flow's potential anymore. I also have Intel stocks, but my CPU is AMD. I'll be an user if this is the best product for me (price/benefit), not necessarily I'll be an investor.
I'm mainly hodling AR, HNT and DOT. I've also got UNQ (Unique Network) on token sale. They aim to be a parachain on Polkadot soon. I believe Substrate can really make a difference when thinking about Web3, Defi, Smart Contracts and NFTs.
First thing's first, we are not all in for long term. I personally am, but there are a lot of people with different strategies. I can't say that I wasn't bummed when the market went down but I didn't panic either. I had a mission to get as much DOT as possible and I am satisfied with how that went, especially when it was below $20. Gonna use the tokens to participate in the upcoming Unique Network crowdloan. They are doing great things lately. More than 1.5k NFT collections are minted on their Opal testnet in the last two weeks. The thing is that all of us can do it for free. Crowdloan is going to be the last chance to get some UNQ before listing and I am planning to go long with it as well since they are the first NFT chain for Polkadot. These dips are great to accumulate more and increase your positions. That's when you actually make money.
I am more of a HODLer than a trader so to HODL seems natural for me. Needless to say that I hold most of my BTC since I got it. Pretty much the same case with BNB and DOT but I am planning to use them. Actually, I already have some BNB that I am lending on Kalmar, generating myself some passive income there. Thinking about doing some leveraged yield farming as well but I will wait a bit more to see what will happen with the market. Will use DOT to participate in the upcoming UNQ crowdloan. They are going after another parachain slot, since they already won the one with their Quartz platform. QTZ is about to get listed tomorrow on MEXC. I think the whole project has a bright future since they are the NFT pioneers on Polkadot and Kusama.
had my first experience using a dex yesterday, Raydium, jesus christ it was so laggy and slow. wanted to buy UNQ(which I think will pop-off in the future) but it was like an hour process.
How did it go? It's good to see that there are projects who keep up with the development even when the market is not in the best shape. I am waiting for UNQ crowdloan and they will also launch their QTZ token on MEXC on February 8th.

If you have the patience to HODL, I may have a few suggestions but you must check everything for yourself first. I was bagging more DOT when it was under $20, not just because I stake it on Freeway but because I will need it for [UNQ](https://unique.network/) crowdloan. They already won the parachain auction slot for their Quartz platform and they are preparing to launch QTZ token soon, there will be some listings as well. I think the QTZ staking is in plan too. Unique is the first NFT blockchain for both Polkadot and Kusama. Since I mentioned NFTs I can't avoid [Kalmar](https://kalmy.app) and their NFT fundraisers. It's a great idea because any company, project or influencer will be able to raise funds by selling the NFTs via the fundraiser event. All the NFTs can be exchanged for prizes and the value is, ofc, based on the rarity. You can also check Kalmar NFTs on [Treasureland](https://treasureland.market/assets?contract=0x25c8655d239db8b499f11821a8ef52d2e9a00458). I also invested in YLD during this dip because I am using their [YieldApp](https://www.yield.app/) platform to make some passive income since they really have nice APYs, especially on stablecoins. There is an option to make 18% APY on USDC, which can make a lot of my troubles go away if the market goes down. They are coming on BSC soon.
Nice post, bro. I heard (not sure if it's true) that a research was conducted across the financial markets to check which portfolios were more successful. They've found out that the best ones was those from deceased people. I believe this is a sign. I remember when I've got into Arweave (AR) at the early beginning below $5. A lot of my friends left at $10. The same applies to SAND below $1. I've also got into Unique Network's token sale (NFT project. Token price was $0.25, a huge bargain for me). What people will do after UNQ gets listed? probably sell after it doubles. I'll keep hodling like a deceased people until I get retired. Sometimes your mindset is the worst enemy and when you realize this...it's too late.
Since you like staking you can check out YieldApp, they are offering nice APYs, especially when it comes to ETH and BTC staking. IDK where you are staking but on YieldApp you can make up to 12% on both of those. MATIC and DOT are also my picks. DOT is on a serious discount right now. The last thing I got was UNQ on their token sale and will probably use my DOT to participate in their crowdloan so that I can get more UNQ tokens before TGE.
I want to get more FWT and XRT if I get a good chance. My focus is mostly on YLD because I need more of their tokens to get better APY on my stablecoin staking there. I am double-digit right now but the maximum is 18%, which is pretty much decent IMO. A lot of people started staking there lately, more than 50M YLD are locked and about 75% of the circulating supply is on the platform. Can be helpful during this crash. I think that DOT is on a good discount as well. Bagged some under $20 and will get more. Planning to participate in Unique Network crowdloan that should start in Q1 and help them to become a parachain for Polkadot. Tried to mint an NFT on their testnet today and it was pretty much easy. I think that the whole NFT space will be able to benefit from UNQ in the near future. That's the first NFT chain for Polkadot, actually.
I’m thinking about buying more NEAR, as I sold the ones I had last year when it pumped. But I’ve been staking up on DOT, BTC and ETH. This is a great opportunity for me to get cheap DOT as the Polkadot crowdloan is coming up soon, to decide the next projects to launch on the parachain and I’m might just be spending all my DOT on Unique network, for an opportunity to earn more UNQ.
Getting in at the right time or early is very important, one of the coins I bought at the ICO was UNQ, It’s a low cap NFT token from Unique Network, that has all the makings of a moonshot.
Can't believe that no one mentioned Polkadot. Even if I was buying when it was just a bit under $30 I will go in again. I believe that they have a huge potential and their ecosystem just started growing. I think it will be able to compete with other chains on a high level. Especially because of their interoperability potential. I have plans to use some DOT to participate in the Unique Network crowdloan, hopefully in Q1. UNQ are the NFT pioneers on Substrate, btw since you are interested in long-term HODLs. There are other things to do during this period as well, like making passive income. It can amortize this unpleasant drive ahead of us. I put a lot of my stablecoins on Celsius and YieldApp just to make sure that I have some sort of steady income these days. 12% APY that I am making on YieldApp makes me sleep a bit better at night. Actually, there was a significant increase of assets staked there since this whole thing started. My point is that even in a market like this, there are some moves that you can make and not regret it.
I am not ecstatic about it but I am not panicking as well. There are things to do when the market looks like this. I am staking stablecoins and it makes sense to me to do that while there are seas of red everywhere. Celsius and YieldApp are my two main sources of passive income when it comes to stables but YieldApp has a bit higher APYs on USDC and USDT. Hopefully, DAI will be available soon, they said that there will be more assets available for staking after the V2 launch. Since it's launched already I guess it's just a matter of time. I will also continue buying the DOT dip. Unique Network crowdloan is getting closer and I am planning to participate so this dip might make my journey a bit less expensive. I already got some amount of UNQ on their token sale 10 days ago but I could always use more since I think that they can reshape the things when it comes to NFT sustainability and scalability. There are some pros and cons but even if I am going long with some assets that don't mean that I don't feel bad when there are losses.
Really? I didn't pay much attention but yeah, Kusama is a good one. I think that it will be even bigger when all the projects that won the auctions start heating up. When it comes to UNQ, they already won the 14th parachain slot auction and their platform, Quartz, became an official parachain for Kusama.
The truth is that we don't know nothing. We don't know when it will go up and neither when it will go down. But when our predictions are matched, then we think that we could have know something in the past. But we are wrong. Price is what you pay and value is what you get. I don't know where the price will go, but I may know if the price is not converging to project's quality. Take a look for Polkadot for example. Great news on parachains, solid study cases for Moonbeam and Acala, Astar EVM is activated, Unique Network (UNQ) had a good token sale with over $11 million raised and the most important thing: huge [players](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/01/20/prada-adidas-launch-nft-project-on-polygon/) are launching NFTs on other chains outside ETH. What do you think can happen with DOT? We are talking about Substrate. I'm not afraid. I'm buying more.
I don't think so, bro. Nokia made a huge mistake by saying no to Android and you only need one mistake to destroy years of work. About Microsoft and Apple developing their own coins... well, let's wait and see. I'm sure they are already developing something like it. This is why I also hodl MSFT and AAPL :) I'm very bullish for the trends you've mentioned like Web3, NFTs and Metaverse. I have a best pick for each that is Arweave (AR), Unique Network (UNQ) and Sandbox (SAND). Bullish signals are already showing up. Everybody is talking exactly now about Twitter and the launch of an "NFT Profile Picture Verification" system, Unique Network raised over $11 million on their token sale last week and Sandbox is ready to experience a real estate metaverse boom.
I wasn't awared of RIDE. It seems solid. Metaverse is already knocking on our doors and I was mainly looking for the main projects like MANA, SAND and AR. After the recent news on Polkadot's parachains, I've started to look for Unique Network also. They are aiming to be a DOT's parachain this year and I could get some UNQ on the token sale last week. They have a strong study case on Substrate and I believe the development of NFTs are a condition to the growth of metaverse.
You’ve said it all, the track record is very important to me, cause I need to know that you’ve been around the block and have a less chance of rug pull. Recently spent $2000 at Unique network’s token sale last week, this is the only example I can think of right now cause it is my most recent investment. UNQ is the Utility token that’s suppose to help deliver the most advanced , scalable, and powerful NFT features possible. I have actually had my eye on them since 2020 when they won the titles of “Build-a-Blockchain Champion” and “Community Choice” winner during the first-ever hackathon for the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem. Good projects have a way of revealing themselves if you look closely enough, you won’t need too much convincing to put your money in it.
I disagree with you completely; if you dig hard enough, you can find an NFT project with a good Utility token, such as UNQ, which is the utility and governance token of Unique Network, the NFT chain for Polkadot Network, and they do a lot more than simply art. Being built on a substrate allows them to enable Freemium gaming, which benefits both developers and customers, with Unique Network acting as a middleman. There are a lot of cool things about their NFTs, but this isn't the right place to discuss them. However, if you work hard enough, you might be able to learn a lot more about NFTs.
USDC is my stablecoin choice. I spent a lot on UNQ cpl of days ago but I had to make my move since it was hard to get in their token sale. They have the potential to revolutionize the whole NFT space. They are the NFT pioneers on Polkadot and Kusama. Probably gonna win the next parachain slot auction. Regarding staking stables, I think that Freeway is better for assets like DOT and ADA. For the stablecoins I use Celsius and YieldApp, I think it's less risky and APYs look more sustainable. Waiting for V2, there should be some improvements + mobile app is coming soon. I want to see if they will include some more assets that will be available for staking.
Utility coin profits have a chance to grow in the long run. While shitcoins are a pure bet, the vast majority of them are rug pulls. I have no regrets buying into a Utility coin like UNQ, UNQ is the utility and governance token of Unique Network, Polkadot Network's NFT chain. UNQ aids in the delivery of the most advanced, scalable, and powerful NFT features. There is no way a token like this would rug pull.
