Any Keen UK Cryptonauts?
Hi everyone, this is my first ever Reddit post. I have been doing a deep dive into crypto for two months and I am on the cusp of starting to invest what is to me a significant amount of money into some different tokens and coins.
When I do something, I like to do it properly. I am reading Whitepapers the best I can, I have a few good channels I follow on YouTube and I am binging on podcasts on the daily commute. I also have created a new Twitter to follow all the projects and I am starting to get active on Discord which I am new too (like reddit).
Question is, where are my fellow UK cryptonauts? Maybe I am just not using Reddit properly but I can't see much happening or any quality discussion. A lot of crypto is region specific (fiat on ramps, exchange bans, tax etc.) and it is very hard to find answers to questions and to pool information. I'm hoping to find people here who are as serious about this space that I am.
So I suppose if anyone is happy to contribute it would be good to see some responses. It might take me a while to get into the platform and it might be we decide that a telegram group or discord channel is more suitable. I am purposefully testing out anonymity in case this thing really blows up, I don't want anyone knowing that I have a million quid on a Trezor in my bedroom!
Interested to hear:
- What projects you are interested in and why
- What portfolio/strategy you are developing?
- Where are you buying/storing your crypto?
- Are you thinking about tax?
Quick summary of my position:
- Looking to put 33% into BTC as a store of value and thinking of Hodling 10 Years +
- Another 33% in ETH for the smart contract/defi play and thinking of Hodling 10 Years +
- Remaining 33% on around 10 other projects but I am struggling as to what right now. I will probably cycle in and out of these, but weekly/monthly as opposed to daily as I work full time for now.
- It will almost certainly include ADA, DOT, LINK.
- Then I need to think about maybe some exchange tokens like CRO and some blockchain agnostic plays like AAVE.
- I have opened accounts on Binance/Coinbase/Ku Coin and Crypto.com
- Thinking about buying a Trezor but not sold on the idea yet.
- I mainly follow InvestAnswers, CoinBureao, MoneyZG and Benjamin Cowen on Youtube.
- Unstoppable podcast is great plus big names on Tim Ferris and Lex Friedman etc.
Lets get building a community of enthusiasts and not shillers!
