Greetings!

Since today is the 5th episode of my ~(~Q2C2~)~, and because the crypto world is even MORE volatile than usual, I wanted to dedicate this whole episode to crypto related posts. I have gone through posts over the last few days and picked out the posts I found to be most valuable in this category. 

It seems like crypto is even more volatile than usual especially due to the potential Bitcoin fork on August 1st. Crypto news and knowledge is ESPECIALLY important right now. 

Everyone on Steemit, aware of it or not, is now involved in the crypto world. There is a LOT of money to be made in the crypto world and crypto is not a fad--it is here to stay. 

So there are very few topics of any more importance than crypto knowledge, especially for Steemians. Because of this, I have chosen the 6 most useful crypto/finance related posts I could find to share with you today!

You can check out my previous ~(~Q2C2~)~ episodes here: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4

Let's get into it! 

First up is a very valuable post for anyone into or wanting to get into crypto by a very valuable part of our community, @thecryptofiend . The title of this article is "All This Has Happened Before.." - FAQ on Why the Cryptocurrency Markets are Down".

This post is worth reading because:

1. @thecryptofiend has proven over a very long time to be highly intelligent and knowledgable.
2. @thecryptofiend has cared for and contributed so much to this community. 
3. The article is well done and provides lots of valuable knowledge on the blockchain for our benefit. 
4. This is good for new and old and is especially valuable in these volatile times.

Next up, we have a post by @lexiconical and the title of the post is "Crypto Bloodbath Continues - Steem Touches 77 cents, Bitcoin At $1900 - Downtrend Remains Intact - HOLD/SELL"

This post is worth reading because:

1. It discusses with good depth the feelings, thoughts, and logic to SELL or HOLD.
2. Crypto is super volatile right now, and it's nice to have an educated perspective especially in times like this.
3. One never really knows what is going to happen. This post doesn't try to pretend they know, but simply states info for both options. 
4. This post is really good for anyone worried about the volatility of crypto market.

Next up is a post by @joshsigurdson and the post is titled "I Interviewed Ron Paul Yesterday - Here's What Happened!"

This post is worth reading because:

1. While it is not strictly crypto, it does discuss the overall temperature of the financial world. 
2. Ron Paul, while old, is a legend and has been speaking more truth than any politician I have ever heard of. 
3. It's kinda nice to watch a video instead of read an article.
4. The video is somewhat basic for veterans; I would say it's more of a video for noobs.

Next up, we have a post by @ftlian and the post title is "Why We’re Temporarily Shutting Down Bitcoin Vending Machines on July 31st"

This post is worth reading because:

1. It's a valuable post about crypto.
2. It's specifically about the August 1st potential bitcoin fork.
3. It's written by a bitcoin professional who actually works in the business. 
4. It's not a fear mongering post but a very logical and safe post with good info. 
5. It's kinda a MUST read.

Next up we have a post by @hilarski and the post is titled "Learn to Trade Bitcoin and Crypto Currency."

This post is worth reading because:

1. @hilarski continually posts updates on crypto-related topics.
2. This post has a very educational video with a lot of info. 
3. It's nice to watch a video sometimes instead of a post (especially long ones). 
4. This helps not just in current times, but has info for the crypto world in general.

Lastly we have a post that is about price crash but is comedic! It is authored by @schattenjaeger , and the title is "An Absolute Price Crash is the Best Thing for Steemit as a Platform"    

This post is worth reading because:

1. It's potentially funny--as always humor IS relative....
2. In times like this, we need some humor on potentially stressful topics.
3. You might also strongly agree or disagree with the mentions.
4. The post is potentially a drama piece....Everyone loves drama.....  

Check it out!

That's all for today's episode. There are of course many other articles on the web about crypto, but I doubt anyone is gonna read more than this in a day and I found these to be the most level-headed and informative.

I hope you enjoyed this Episode of ~(~Q2C2~)~ and I hope this saves or makes you a lot of money in the days to come!

As always I welcome feedback and appreciate support!

SteemON!
