Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus algorithm used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and create new blocks. PoS differs from Proof of Work (PoW) in that it doesn't require nodes to solve complex mathematical puzzles. Instead, validators are chosen based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold. This makes PoS more energy-efficient and cost-effective than PoW.

Since witnessing the rise of Solana throughout the 2021 bull market, we've had numerous other layer-1 blockchain projects emerge with big claims about transformative blockchain technology. One such layer-1 blockchain is Aptos — the project backed by ex-Meta engineers who were in charge of the now-defunct Libra and Diem project.

The Helium Network, commonly known as Helium, is helping to bring about advancements in the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. With the introduction of its flagship product, the Helium Hotspot, in 2019, Helium brought to market a new approach to wireless networks through its blockchain-based solutions.

Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is a trading method consisting of purchasing a fixed amount of an asset at consistent intervals over a sustained period of time, rather than buying all at once. In theory, applying DCA can reduce the overall impact of volatility on a portfolio and reduce the average cost per unit of the asset being traded. That's because, if executed properly, this method can help the trader buy regularly when prices dip — assuming the market sees both highs and lows. DCA isn't without its tradeoffs, however, and it's important to keep a balanced view on the tactic's pros and cons.

In crypto, a market order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at the best current market price. By placing a market order, you're looking to execute a trade immediately. This order type is commonly used by traders, and orders are typically (but not always) completed instantly when there's enough liquidity available in the market.

Does it sometimes feel like you're guessing when trading crypto? Given the notoriously volatile price swings for various coins and tokens, it's certainly challenging to predict future movements. This is where (TA) comes in handy, as TA uses historical price data and various indicators to identify potential trading opportunities.
