A random online user of Metamask by nickname TOOKDRUMS share's vividly why we should ditch Metamaskbfr Rabby In his word he said:I'm what you could call a true defi degen and a few month ago I switched from Metamask to Rabby wallet and I like it so much that I want to share with you why it is so much better than Metamask.CompatibilityEvery Dapp that is compatible with metamask is compatible with Rabby too (if there is not a Rabby connect button just use the metamask one and it will work)Token approvalI find Rabby so much secure than metamask with plenty of features designed to prevent you from losing your precious (or shitty) tokensHere is a screenshot of the token approvalAs you can see Rabby display several warnings.First it tells me that I never interacted with this contract before which is huge as in the case of a defacing like the balancer one recently the hacker are going to replace the contract with their own, hence if that happens Rabby will tell you that this is a new contract, suspicious.​Also It warns about a low trust value for the token approval, this value represent the number of tokens standing by in addresses that the contract have access to. It is a great indicator of the level of trust other users have in this contract. Of course new contract will always have a low trust value in this case nothing beat a little block explorer investigation to make sure that everything look as it should.​3.Transaction Simulation resultsBefore signing a transaction Rabby displays a Simulated result of the transactionHere you can see that after a swap it shows me how much I would pay in eth and get in USDC It works also for more complicated transactions this tool can be a life saver to verify that the transaction you are about to sign is what you think.4 A way better address book than MetamaskIn metamask if you have several addresses you own to better compartimentalize your defi life every address has its own address book which can make it painfull to deposit to CEX when the address you are using now does not have it in its address book.In Rabby you only have one address book for all your addresses furthermore it will identify your CEX deposit address and label them accordingly which again helps you make sure you are sending to the right address.​On this page I can verify that I'm about to send to my kraken address. Also you can see the system of whitelist. If an address has not been whitelisted then to send a transaction to it you will need to input your password and it will display a warning.​Approval CheckerI found Rabby has one of the best Approval checker tool.You can check your approval by contract or asset, it display the trust value of the approved contract and also allow you to select several token at a time (you will still have to sign each transaction but they will automatically pop up one after the other)​A flawless Ledger integration​Even for defi and several transactions per day I always use a hardware wallet. Nowadays I'm using a ledger nano X and its integration with Rabby was flawless.I could import several accounts at a time.No need to create a (unused) metamask seed to use ledgerNo connexion problem (also metamask improved a lot there too)Possibility to resend the transaction easily to the ledger if it was in stand by modeA better Swap function than metamaskIf you swap your token in metamask it adds of fee of 0.875% of your transactions while Rabby swap will query plenty of dex aggregator to get you the best rate and will use them natively not adding their own smart contract in the middle so you really get the best rate here is an example:​You can even easily check how much you would get on a CEX.7 No countless Manually adding ERC20 token to be able to send themIn metamask (also they might have improved since I stopped using them) I had to manually find the tokens smart contract address in an explorer to be able to manually adds them to be able to transfer them to another address.In Rabby it uses the very complete Debank data to know which tokens you own and you are able to use or send them right away without manually adding them.​8 It change network seamlessly and instantly with the network the dapp is expectingAnd it worked so well I never had to add a custom RPC yet.​Feel free to ask me anything regarding defi, Rabby, or even hardware wallet or crypto security#Johnmiracleweb3 #crypto2023

Last cycle i was one of the people that thought there was just so much more potential in altcoins that i had turned my back to btc and ethereum, to be honest it back then it was not a mistake, i made pretty insane returns holding alts like, doge, cardano, luna (yes i know), but back then i didn't really see a reason to put my money elsewhere

So why have i changed my mind even though i made nice gains, to put it simply...it was too much risk, crypto is cyclical...

The cryptocurrency markets have experienced several boom and bust cycles in the past, with periods of rapid price growth followed by sharp declines.

These cycles are often attributed to various factors such as market speculation, regulatory changes, investor sentiment, and technological advancements. Some believe that these cycles are a natural part of the cryptocurrency market's evolution and can provide opportunities for investors to profit from price swings.

Alts experience these swings much like bitcoin and ethereum, but if you miss your window it can leave you holding bags worth -97% of what was once worth.

So they might give you a nice 100x if you invest in the correct alts during bear market and cash out during the bullrun, but if you hold them too long you might have to take the loss, or even dca during the whole bear market hoping for another run.

Last cycle i was lucky, i did a 5x with ada, then i did a 3x with luna, i managed to escape ust collapse because i sold everything at $100...if i had held it even 1 week longer i would be done, game over. This type of risk is what drove me away from alts...so my question is:

​

What will you do this cycle?

Take the risk and buy alts right now in the bear market?

What type of strategies and precautions will you take to make sure you won't be left holding bags?

Pepe, the memetic cryptocurrency, faces a series of challenges as its main Telegram channel experiences unauthorized access and a prominent social media account associated with the project falls into the hands of alleged scammers. While the original PEPE team claims hacking, the current account owner suggests internal disagreements within the team.

Community sentiment is shifting as concerns about authenticity and investment opportunities arise.

The compromised Telegram channel, once a major communication platform for Pepe enthusiasts, now urges the community to help shut it down and establish a secure alternative. On another social media platform, "LordKekLol" is now controlled by potentially malicious individuals promoting scams and misleading investors.

The authenticity of information from these channels is questioned by community members, leading to caution and calls for verification. Pepe's coin value has dropped by over 3%, exacerbated by significant sell-offs and project contributors reportedly dumping a large amount of PEPE on a centralized exchange.

Pepe has a high chance of going to zero this time, currently about $280+ million marketcap, losing a single whale will send them down to earth.

Not financial advice.
