Can anyone recommend a decent crypto folio tracker?
I have both Delta and Blockfolio, using Delta more, but both apps fail to show your buy price (book cost in stock folio's). I want to see how much I paid for my bitcoins etc, then current value, P/L as percent. Also would be nice to see little (+) or (-) on the graphs to show where Bought or Sold. Anyone know of such an app?

Portfolio -> Select crypto -> Holdings (at the top)sted - I’ve noticed this, like “they” don’t want you to see that easily anywhere.johnny_wobble
- Only pay attention to today! You’re up 40% today! But down 20% overall, nevermind that.johnny_wobble

"The time has come to explore options for a digital dollar, and the principal members of the Digital Dollar Foundation (The Foundation) have sounded the call for this needed dollar innovation.
The Foundation has formed the “Digital Dollar Project” (the Project) to study potential avenues to utilize U.S. digital dollar tokenization and its implications on the U.S. and global economic and financial systems."

- looked in to it yesterday but even the name gives me the creeps 'Basic Attention Token' yipes. not for me.kingsteven

- imho, fuck Brave. Strips ad revenue from legit sources and forces site owners to sign up to its scheme to get 'their cash', else it keeps it. Shitty moves.Nairn
- I like the idea that attention is 'value' and not data. not sure if brave will solve this problem, but it's maybe one of the first accessible experiments at it.uan
- i'm staying away from anything that may be a future metric for my efficiency in the gulagkingsteven
- kingsteven. You see, the problem is you already are a metric, but you don't see any benefits from it. Brave puts you in control of it, and not the site owners.ESKEMA

And if QBN would accept BAT, maybe I could donate some every month to it.ESKEMA - It creates a direct economy withouth needing advertisers collecting dataESKEMA
- https://i.postimg.cc…ESKEMA
- How does a site owner benefit from $1 worth of BAT a month versus however much ad revenue they'd get from the ads Brave steals from them?Nairn
- I can't understand how people don't get how unethical Brave is, fundamentally.Nairn
- because I don't want to be tracked in every link I open, just because I happen to click on some random link. I can disable shields on sites I think warrant itESKEMA
- the 1$ is in my client. It accumated in 2-3 weeks .0001 steps. it‘s a share brave gives me from the $ the advertisers paid for it.uan
- I've been using Brave for at least a year. The earning became annoying at some point, so I opt out. Bottom line for me, it's a great alternative to Chromezaq
- I don't even see any ads, but I keep receiving rewards. Sometimes a notification but very rare.ESKEMA
- if qbn would accept BAT and every upvote would give poster some of it, could lead to more quality content. PhanLo would be BAT rich!uan
- i'm paranoid but i think once you formalise a concept as vague as BAT be prepared for the concept of 'attention debt'kingsteven
- how would such thing be enforced? You'd need to have a lot more problems to deal with before you reach that point no?ESKEMA

Re: electricity usage.
Think about what the electricity that Wall Street uses. Every stock exchange and trader.
Think about every office.
In Manhattan, nearly every office building is lit up all night. Because people are working? No.
I asked my company if we can shut ours off at night. Answer: "NO. The security cameras don't work if the lights are off." So my floor got broken into once in like ten years. A few laptops gone. All locked, all trackable. We absolutely spent more money on the security cameras, the monitoring system and keeping the lights on 24 hours a day than we lost on those macbooks or the productivity while the staff got set up on their new machines.
Meanwhile we never caught the people. "So uh, the security cameras are useless, can the last person leave just shut off the lights?" "No, the security cameras don't work if the lights are off."
Multiply by a few million office floors all across the globe.

"Multiply by a few million office floors all across the globe."
But isn't that exactly the point? Those millions of energy expenditures are utilised by millions, tens of millions of people which then fund further tens or hundreds of millions of people in their economies.
Comparing Crypto energy expenditure to the global financial system is ... well, a bit daft, given the gulf in actual usable value for actual human beings between them.
- that energy could be spent in more useful ways and more eficiently, giving people the oportunity to pursue more creative and self fulfilling activities.ESKEMA
- Crypto also allows people in their economies to flourish in a more liberating wayESKEMA
- It doesn't really, at all. In Africa and China centralised but mobile-based financial services massively dwarf crypto usage.Nairn
- No one is utilizing the lights at night. They're just on because someone decided that grainy security camera footage is worth a few thousand bucks per year.nb
- But your other point is solid. Should not compare crypto to global financial system. Although one might argue how real that is....nb

Decision point is coming up for the bitcoin. It's in a large, rising-wedge shape going back about 3 months, which superstition says is a bearish sign. There's also falling volume. It will need a news bump to get over the $60k hurdle... it may not!
