Ask at joedewitt@benzinga.com and we will answer!Hey there everybody happy Wednesday. And welcome back to another episode of the crypto breakdown. My name is Joe Dewitt, and today with me, I have a COO over at FCF pay, Joe Parkin, Joe, how are we doing to start things off? For some listeners out there who may not be familiar with the platform, if you want to just go ahead and talk about what FCF pay actually is.So fcf pay is a crypto payment gateway. In the case of e-commerce we take the. We work in a similar kind of way to pay panel Stripe. However, we're slightly different in that we can be integrated with point of sale terminals in brick and mortar stores, or also, and do you do crypto payments and Fiat payments, or are you sticking with crypto payments at the moment?Or how does that work? The core products CFP is crypto. However as FCFA is built with an API that can connect to anything We have a crypto on-ramp at the beginning and off-ramp at the other end. So although we are processing crypto, we do offer integrated systems for people to be able to use their credit cards, to buy crypto and send it directly to the merchant.Okay, cool. And for the merchant to off-ramp directly to their. Bank account. We're currently doing this with . We have a partnership with them. They're one of the biggest players in the feared cryptocurrency space, working this with the larger exchanges. And I'm not too familiar with the FCF token. So how does that work?Is there any like unique utility with it, or if you wanna talk about the dividends or how those come into play? So the unique thing about our token is that it's a revenue sharing. It's not a utility token as such, because it doesn't actually do anything within the system. Its sole function is to distribute dividends to its holders.So we have 10% to economics on buys and sells. Half of that is distributed as BNB dividends amongst holders. And then also two thirds of every transaction fee through. MTFP also goes back to the community to hold it. FCF token in the form of one third, directly as evidence and one third as a, an automated buy back in burn.Cool. Is it available on other trading platforms or is it strictly through MTFA? They're actually. It's on pancake swap so you can buy it by its own pancreas. Awesome. Exactly. But also on L bang can hot bits as well. We're our roadmap includes larger exchanges further down the line.However, not very much further down the line. However, to be perfectly honest, the sensible thing to do is to hold a in, in a wallet, in a defy wallet, because that way you get your. Exactly. It would be a shame to probably on a, an exchange. Yeah, exactly. And then you're not receiving that that, that dividend payment.Exactly. Moving down the road, does FCF have any sort of plans to pivot or move into a sort of an NFT project or any sort of NFT utility down the road? Are you just sticking with the way things are now? Or has that been in the talks a little bit? We actually don't really have.Really? Yes. We have a project called French fellas. They are 2000 hand drawn French bulldogs and they. They actually have a utility, which is coming in into play within a few weeks at most, which is, which ties into another project that we have, which is FCF poker soon to become FCF casino.So a full web three poker room, which is life. You can go to FCF, polka.com right now and play we process the payments through FEFP in order to buy you. To buy your poker chips which by the way, I didn't mention the fact that FCF pay is multi chain where we can process payments from just about every 10 you can imagine and tokens they're off.So yeah part of the rake from FCF poker goes to French filler, French fillers. Awesome. And the French fellows. Are they on the Ethereum network or Selana or which networks? Yeah, the tokens on BSC. Okay. However we opted to we opted to launch the because that's where the majority of exactly.Yeah. Yeah. I see the investors and the good projects over on the Ethereum. No. For now, at least for the time being yeah. Moving forward to onboarding kind of new investors into crypto and getting away from traditional finance into defy. Is there anything that comes to your head when thinking about how maybe some best ways for people like us to onboard new people into crypto or...

  • How To Make Automated Trading Work For Your Crypto Investments With Oleg Giberstein From Coinrule - Crypto Breakdown April 13, 2022

    How To Make Automated Trading Work For Your Crypto Investments With Oleg Giberstein From Coinrule - Crypto Breakdown April 13, 2022
    Apr 13 2022
    Episode Summary:In this episode of the Crypto Breakdown, I talk with Co-founder and COO of Coinrule.BZ: What is Coinrule?O: Coinrule helps investors to build automated trading strategies for cryptocurrencies. So you use an if this then this logic o build strategies through CoinRule, which then run on your exchanges, like Coinbase, Binance and so on.You can think of it as we give your crypto exchange account superpowers.BZ: Are you able to actually make your own indicators or do you have a template of ones that you guys have made or a mix of both?O:It's totally a mix of both. So there are a lot of pre-made templates, which you can use, but you can also add them or you can test them on the demo exchange, so you can just see how they perform. But then also you can use indicators that are already available on the platform. Like moving coverage is relative strength, index, and many others.And also you can connect to trading view and then run any script on trading view and connected to coin grow, which then will execute your strategy.BZ:For any listeners out there that may be unaware on like how automated trading may be able to help them with their daily trading experience what are some, benefits of actually trading bonds or any automated crypto trading?Sure. Think about it this way. First of all, the market doesn't sleep, right? It's 24 7 open. There's no way for us in individual trade there to keep up with that automated trading strategy to protect you, but also catch market opportunities when you are sleeping. You have the other benefit is that even if you are sitting in front of your chart and trading, there's no chance that you'll be able to keep track of, five, six different trend indicators in the same time. Whereas coin rule can easily do that for you.BZ: Moving over to some future plans does Coinrule plan to ICO or release any sort of utility token in the future?O: So the short answer is no, because it just doesn't make sense for us. Like we don't want to just like launch in another, useless token for no good reason. What we are doing case we are experimenting with decentralized finance. So we have built a small proof of concept on Solana at the moment. So our users will be able, ready to start testing that.BZ: Is there a release date for that?O: it's invite only at the moment.BZ: Do you guys have any plans moving into any sort of like automated NFT trading platforms where traders can buy and sell and NFTs ?O: That's a really interesting question because we would, in theory, we would love to do that. It's just much more complex because the way, because of the way, how NFTs are traded on platforms like OpenSea. So at the moment, that's not really an option. But then already today, some NFTs are getting tokenized. So you get basically tradable tokens that represent in NFT. And if those are listed on an exchange, you can trade them through coinrule already.BZ:Does Coinrule have any sort of a leveraged trading or any sort of strategies for people that want to do any sort of leverage? Yeah, absolutely.You can already trade through Coinrule on Binance futures in BitMEX. So you can build automated trading strategies for leverage. In fact, one of our absolute top performing templates has been the Heikenashi indicator which is the leverage trading strategy that, that kind of looks at average candle bars.And it's made over 70% return in the last month or so, which as the market being a bit sketchy, that's been a top performer.BZ:I want to pick your brain on what you think just generally about decentralized finance.O: I think in a way, maybe we're thinking about it wrong because the DEFI stuff out there today, the UNISWAPS,etc. Like they will never be used by like normal people. They like, that's just not going to happen. Yeah. Ideally will happen at some point is that, banks and other providers will use them in the backend.And then, the normal people will have their extremely easy front-end application, but that gives them access to, seven, 8% returns rather than 0.1% returns. That's for me, the best possible world. At the same time we do keep the openness and the permission business of it, which means that still anyone can just go out and hack stuff on.They can build stuff on it. And if it takes off, you can easily plug and play, integrate the different, protocols and platforms with each other. And those front-end providers will be able to use them to then give more and more. Effectively, it returns in yields to like normal people who just would just want to be able to supplement their income with, some form of passive income.That's the ideal case to onboard new users. Think about it this way. How many people create YouTube videos versus how many people watch YouTube videos?BZ: Where do you see the future of NFTs as we're just scratching the surface? O: We're not quite getting into the actual applications of these non fungible tokens. So do you think it's more, it'll fizzle out or do you actually see a real ...

    How To Short Bitcoin? How Will ETH 2.0 Merge Affect ETH Price Prediction? - Crypto Breakdown April 6, 2022
    Apr 6 2022

    Episode Summary:

    In this episode of the Crypto Breakdown, I do a Technical Analysis of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin for possible price scenarios.

    ETH 2.0 Merge is just around the corner in Q2 2022. How will this affect ETH price?

    According to Ethereum.org The Merge will:

    • Eventually the current Ethereum Mainnet will "merge" with the beacon chain proof-of-stake system.
    • This will mark the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum, and the full transition to proof-of-stake.
    • This is planned to precede the roll out of shard chains.
    • We formerly referred to this as "the docking."


    Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) issuer ProShares has filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to list shares of a Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF.
