I hope LINK is one of them...and not some elaborate venture capitalist dumping scheme where people keep losing money, like a donkey following a carrot up a steep hill, with the carrot just...just...just out of reach until the carrot is dragged through the air by a jetliner and the poor donkey finds his ass in a thousand pieces a thousand feet below the cliff that he just fell off.
I feel that way, I feel it might end like that, and I sure hope I'm wrong.

**LINK BELOW IS A SCAM**
Friend of mine fell for one of these crypto scams last month and sent 1000 XRP to a scammer. They are all over Youtube and probably other websites. I just came across this one through Youtube ads. I know it probably seems obvious to many of you but don't send any currency to a wallet with the promise of getting sent back some multiple of that amount. See the link below they look like real Youtube accounts, they even have the verification tick

I would add more $LTC, $LINK and $ETH but nice portfolio 🥰💪🏻

Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) does not require LINK as a token for its operation within the context of Euroclear. Same with XRP. Some companies are using RippleNet but not XRP. Plus all of these projects are open source, except Hbar. So when a partnership happens it’s usually going to result in a fork. That’s what JP Morgan did. Built their own chain and forked ETH. None of these companies are interested in shitcoins. You would think retail would have learned this by now, but as the saying goes there’s a sucker born every minute.

Hey folks,
I’m based in India and planning to start a monthly SIP of around $100 into crypto. I want to keep it fully decentralized — meaning no centralized exchanges or custodians.
I’ve got a few questions and would love some guidance from experienced folks here:
1. Which blockchain + DEX would you recommend for a truly decentralized experience?
• I’m looking for low gas fees, good token support, and decent liquidity.
• So far I’ve looked at Solana (Jupiter) and Polygon (Quickswap). Are there better options?
2. How should I allocate my portfolio monthly?
• I want to keep this long-term, so I’m thinking of something like:
• 30% BTC
• 30% ETH
• 20% SOL
• 10% MATIC
• 10% Other (maybe LINK/ATOM?)
• Any thoughts on this? Should I lean more into Layer 1s or diversify with L2s/infra tokens?
3. Any tools or platforms that help automate DCA/SIP in DeFi?
• I heard about MeanFi (Solana) and some Gnosis Safe setups for Ethereum chains. Anything easier and beginner-friendly?
4. How are you folks converting INR to stablecoins without touching CEXs?
• I’m aware of Transak, Onmeta, and Ramp — are these reliable for UPI purchases?
Goals:
• Keep custody in my own wallet
• DCA into solid coins monthly
• Avoid high gas fees and centralized KYC hassles
• Maybe later scale up or automate
Would love to hear how others are doing this. Suggestions, portfolio tweaks, or tips are super appreciated 🙏
