In my opinion, both custodial and non-custodial accounts lose 5% each year due criminal attacks or mishandling. The problem is always people messing it up, but the reasoning and the mechanisms are different.

When trading, being able to recognize signs of value is a great way to raise your awareness. One notable indicator of value is when people begin using certain products out of necessity. Organizations are generally apprehensive to adopt crypto networks and currencies because of some understandable risks. This is why the decision by Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) to use the IPFS protocol is a powerful demonstration.
Do you own a website domain? How about an NFT? If you or your company is beginning to use cryptocurrencies and integrate into web3, then you may soon realize you need both.
Here is an annual report by the crypto arm of Andreeson Horowitz, A16z. The report has a lot of interesting charts and covers Web3, market cycles, Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, DeFi, and metaverse/NFTs.

Luna, UST, and Anchor have just realized their nightmare. Because of a series of large liquidations and panic, the stablecoin UST has been sold so much that is has lost its pegged value.

Here is an extensive comparison of the Layer 1 Networks published by The Block Research and funded by Algorand. This report is a deep dive into the competition of Layer 1 network, the problems that the leader Ethereum is facing, and how other networks are addressing these problems.
Ethereum Name System has been slept on for long enough. This is an alternative to traditional Domain Name Servers like Google DNS or GoDaddy where you can register a website name like twitter.com. The difference between a .eth and a .com is the level of ownership and connectivity. ETH domains are connected to crypto wallets, NFTs, and your digital identity online. They are highly programable and I believe they will be a necessity for any person or company in a crypto future.
Interesting article criticizing the inefficiency of cryptos, specifically BTC and ETH. These are legitimate concerns that will prevent these systems from reaching the goals we have. I believe that we are very early in this industry and these problems are being solved. If you can’t handle the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), then you don’t deserve the gains.
I have seen a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) on Cardano recently. People are disappointed that this top 5 layer 1 coin has not made them rich. Cardano has been quietly developing faster than any other top layer 1 which bodes well in this time of inefficiency and crude architectures.
