Nothing I say is financial, medical, or legal advise. Just another random person on the internet saying what comes to mind when it happens.
RIP my DCA happening on the upcoming Monday rather than this past Friday. Good for the markets though. Algorand, Cardano, and Hedera are all ripping.
If you own enough Algorand to be eligible for node rewards, set one up. If you don't, join a pool. Funds are liquid with no lock ups. Node set up is quick and easy with several groups in Algofam helping if you get stuck. Put your ALGO to work for you and let your bag grow itself.
And now Marc with the bombs. Algorand staking is superior. Paying to validate is silly.
Just a quick reminder to Algorand node runners. We're in month 6 since node rewards went live. Participation keys are good for only ~90 days. If you haven't checked lately, make sure you're ready to update your keys before they expire.
What should you do when the market takes a downtrend? Go get yourself a true OG NFT from @nodekeepers and support the community while the price is right.

Does staking Algorand matter? Yes. It grows and secures the network. It also helps with decentralization and adoption. As the price grows, that 6% grows. My $300 node has made me $7,700+ since January. Even better, you don't need a node, join a pool or exchange that supports it.

To all of Algofam looking at the charts and trying to get some sleep. It's been an amazing day. To everyone else, you're still early. Find me another coin with the technology, adoption, and upside as Algorand with such a great entry price. You missed .15 don't regret missing now.
Have you noticed that AlgoScout hasn't reported any liquidations even though the price of Algorand just did a huge jump upwards? Don't listen to the FUD. Even the trolls weren't shorting ALGO while they were trying to convince you to sell your bag.
The only TA I need is Coinbase to completely go down, to confirm that the bull run is back on.
My humble MiniPC of a node just crossed 2500 blocks overnight. FUNC was simple easy to set up and deploy. I've been through Algorand updates, node updates, and reissuing participation keys. Everything has been seamless.

It finally happened, Justin Bons made a positive Algorand post. While the urge to run into his comments and say "I told you so" is strong. Remember, use the comments section to onboard others, not attack. It's good to see positive press, even if from unlikely sources.
1/18) Algorand's tech is cutting edge! Highly scalable with 10k TPS, 3-second finalization times & stakeholder governance Even better is that ALGO is no longer permissioned! The recent P2P upgrade resolved the centralization issues Props for promising change & delivering! 🧵
The markets are trash across the board right now with WW3 (instead of Web3) looming on the horizon. Here's a dose of copium to help you through it. MJ @AlgoFamily putting in the work with Dom Kwok (144k+ followers) retweeting @marcvl, getting a response from both him and his app.

A reminder that if validators can lock out wallets and transactions because the price is right, governments can apply the same pressure and lock you out from your funds. Decentralization and permissionless architectures matter. Crypto is more than "price goes up".
We’ve learned that a Cetus smart contract was hacked this morning for approximately $223M and Cetus subsequently paused their smart contracts to prevent further theft. Cetus worked together with the other DeFi protocols, the Sui Foundation, and the Sui validators to…
Algorand is almost about to cross 50,000,000 blocks, just like clockwork with zero downtime, seamlessly and securely. I wonder who the lucky node runner will be to create the official block, and become a part of Algorand history!

If you're running a node on Algorand, help support the community with some of those block rewards, and get yourself a @nodekeepers. The final mint is live and there isn't enough node keepers to cover all node runners (no affiliation, just a cool project) algoxnft.com/shuffle/3123
While I love that @AlgoFoundation does a transparency report, it creates a lot of drama, while some in Algofam attack one another and AF leadership, as they second-guess decisions, instead of celebrating successes. I don't know the remedy. Just try to be good to each other.
A reminder to Algorand node runners, participation keys created in January are starting to expire. Depending on your node solution you may have to manually regenerate new keys. Keep your eyes on them, and use tools like AlgoTools to re-register as needed. algotools.org
The market is down, but node rewards on Algorand keep coming. At a little over 25 ALGO, that was a hefty block reward.

Hit a landmark today as my node hit 1000 blocks with staking rewards. While everyone is chasing the next 10x, my $200 MiniPC has generated ~$2100 in just under 3 months, giving me 10x my investment. No lock ups and instant; Algorand staking is one of the best deals in crypto.
