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".

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 MJ.algo putting in the work with Dom Kwok (144k+ followers) retweeting marcvl.algo🇺🇦, getting a response from both him and his app.

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.

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.

The only TA I need is Coinbase to completely go down, to confirm that the bull run is back on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What should you do when the market takes a downtrend? Go get yourself a true OG NFT from Node Keepers and support the community while the price is right.

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.

Even with the current market correction, this is not an insignificant amount of $ALGO. If you've been saving to run a node, have a friend interested in crypto, or just want to increase your own bag. Marcus is giving out a sizable chunk of Algorand to make your day better.

Just a quick reminder that Algorand staking requires no lock ups, epochs, or intervals. Block rewards are instant. Protocol staking secures the network and does not constitute making it a security.

Attention Algorand node runners: make sure to upgrade your node to the current version of Algorand. As of a few days ago, the current release is 4.2.1. We're all excited about the roadmap, but we need to keep our nodes updated to take advantage of it. github.com/algorand/go-al…

Have you been hearing the buzz about $NYLA? Did someone send you some Algorand in a random tweet and you have no idea what that was even about? What even is an $ALGO? You have free money waiting for you my friend, and this is how you get it: x.com/Dburly83/statu…

Jerome blinked. Interest rates are likely to be cut several times before EOY. When rates are cut, investors focus on "risk-on assets". Crypto has been primed as the next big asset class to invest in, and it is the ultimate risk-on asset. DYOR and come to your own conclusions.
