I think I just found the weirdest “this shouldn’t exist but kinda makes sense” crypto thing

So imagine Venmo…

but instead of arguing over €12 for pizza, you’re sending crypto

and instead of typing addresses like a hacker from a 2000s movie, it’s just… links???

I stumbled onto this thing called SwypeSwap and I’m genuinely confused in a good way

Like:

- you can send people payment requests like an invoice??

- split bills??

- tip people??

- AND also swap between different crypto???

Who looked at crypto and said “what if we made it behave like a normal app for once” 😭

I haven’t decided if this is genius or if I’m about to become the cautionary tale in a YouTube documentary

Has anyone here actually used stuff like this before??

Does it work or am I one click away from becoming financially interesting

I want to make sure that I get this right: is it correct that paying for Pro is only worth it if you buy more than the Bitcoin equivalent of 500$ per month? if the fee for regular users is 1%, that would cost about 5$ for 500$, and the Pro subscription is worth a little less than 5$, so if you buy 500, you just about break even, right? Or do I miss something?

I use the bitcoin core wallet on my PC, and I have an old wallet that I saved from another computer and I am trying to restore/get that wallet open. I have the .dat file and the entire wallet folder saved, but every time I try to load the wallet it says it’s not a recognized format.

Every pump makes people greedy, every dip makes them panic. The real BTC gains go to those who think long-term and don’t react to every candle.
How do you train yourself to ignore the noise and stick to your plan?
