Crypto social trading: Trading like an expert was never this easy

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Social trading is an innovative practice where you “piggyback” on the trades of experts to make consistent profits. Why? Because it takes discipline, consistency, great judgement, and immense subject knowledge to do well in the crypto market. However, these qualities take years to hone, and most traders never get to this point. So, what better way than to just follow what the best investors are already doing?

Social trading is an innovative practice where you “piggyback” on the trades of experts to make consistent profits. Why? Because it takes discipline, consistency, great judgement, and immense subject knowledge to do well in the crypto market. However, these qualities take years to hone, and most traders never get to this point. So, what better way than to just follow what the best investors are already doing?

It’s a great practice for beginners

Most beginners tend to lose money in the crypto markets. This is because they’re jumping into the market with a half-baked investment strategy, or they are entirely dependent on luck.

With the volatility of the crypto market, sometimes even blind trades could make you money, but that’s not at all a viable long-term strategy. Crypto social platforms allow you to follow expert traders, read about their plans and even invest money into their capital pools.

It does come with certain risks, but the long-term volatility is significantly reduced with an expert at the helm of the decision-making process. Additionally, you get to learn from their trades, drastically shortening your learning curve.

How does it work?

It’s simple; countless social trading platforms have cropped up in recent years. Some popular exchanges have also started offering the social trading feature.

These platforms have several experts onboard whose investment and trading strategies can be accessed and copied. A few platforms will also provide you with in-depth trading history and performance charts of their experts.

Also Read: Top sports teams that are sponsored by crypto firms

All you have to do is create an account on one of these platforms and select an expert you wish to follow and copy. Some platforms offer this service for free, while others charge a subscription fee.

This fee could be a flat charge, like USD 0.99 on every copied trade and a fixed percentage on profitable trades above a certain amount. Other platforms employ a subscription/plan-based model with a monthly/yearly charge.

What’s in It for the Experts?

Social trading or copy-trading would have seemed unethical just a few decades ago. Imagine being great at what you do, and someone else doing equally great without putting in the work.

However, on popular crypto social trading platforms, experts get a pre-decided percentage of the investor profits when they make money on copied trades. This incentivizes experts to do even better and get popular on these platforms to enlarge their capital pool even further.

Things You Need to Remember

Here are a few things you should remember before you start your crypto-social trading journey –

a) Verify the authenticity of the chosen platform

Ensure the authenticity of the platform by reviewing their website thoroughly and by reading and watching reviews online about the platform. Check on the number of downloads, visitors, and expert traders.

b) Research before you start following an expert

It would help if you narrowed down on the experts to follow before you start investing your money. Look at how long they have been trading, their core trading philosophies, their track record in the past and so on. Start following and copying their trades only once you’re entirely sure of their expertise.

c) Start small to test the waters, diversify

There is always a certain risk that comes when you’re trading. The same applies even to the experts. When you’re starting, be sure not to put all your money on one trader but to diversify between different types of traders with different risk appetites. This way, you’re neither missing out on the gains nor are you risking everything on one trader.

Conclusion

Crypto social trading is an exciting development that is going to bring more capital and traders into the markets in the coming years. The platforms are getting smarter by the day and giving more insight into the trading abilities of expert traders. This is an opportunity for new traders to learn fast and vastly reduce their learning curve.

Setting Up Future-Ready India With 5G Roadmap: The Possibilities & Challenges

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

With the spectrum auction right around the corner on July 26, let’s evaluate what possibilities and challenges the nationwide 5G rollout will bring to India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch 5G services in India during the inauguration of the Indian Mobile Congress in Delhi on Saturday morning, ushering in the next generation of connectivity.

That in mind, let’s begin with a few numbers! According to Statista, cellular subscriptions in India leveraging 4G/LTE technology are predicted to reach 925 million in 2024 from their current volume of 800 million.

Even though this adoption rate has fallen significantly compared to previous years, it’s because Indian network operators are preparing suitable infrastructures to roll out 5G subscriptions that are forecast to reach 487 million by the end of 2027.

This clearly indicates how India has achieved its second rank globally in terms of mobile network connectivity with 1.19 billion active subscribers.

However, as with any emerging technology, “5G” isn’t the marketing buzzword to tackle every major challenge in the contemporary cellular infrastructure.

While smartphone manufacturers often use the term loosely, the implications of commercial 5G rollout have much more potential to position India as the world’s second-largest smartphone market by 2025.

On the commercial front, 5G rollout is also expected to fuel the Indian economy by a whopping $450 billion to increase the pace of R&D and subsequent expansion.

As Anku Jain, Managing Director of MediaTek India, recently said, “5G is not just speed and connectivity. It is the differentiator to enable advancements, interoperability and newer opportunities. With 5G deployment at our doorstep, India has an exciting future to look forward to. 5G will disrupt the way we lead our lives, with the digital ecosystem poised to facilitate innovation beyond our expectations!”

5G Will Position India As An Industry Leader In Mobile Connectivity

What’s unique about mobile networks is that it’s infinitely scalable; therefore, with 5G connectivity at its core, India can unlock business potential with revenues worth $17 billion by 2030.

In addition to this forecast is the fact that India is the highest consumer of cellular internet as per the Ericsson Mobility Report, which also states that the potential of 5G in India is tremendous.

Possibility 01: Commercial 5G Connectivity for Indian Consumers

In a recent survey published on Statista, more than 55% of respondents showed interest in purchasing a 5G-enabled smartphone, with around 30% considering getting one, depending on the price of 5G devices in India. A 5G device in India costs $375 on average, so the future readiness seems promising for consumers.

Possibility 02: Intelligent Collaboration

Manufacturing facilities in India are already benefitting from Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). Moreover, with a 5G-enabled infrastructure, an enhanced production monitoring and feedback system will boost the speed of operations, improve reliability and safety, and reduce maintenance while working closely with other assorted machines.

Possibility 03: Making Crucial Connections Between Factories

With Atlas Copco being a noteworthy example, we are already seeing brands which have opted for 5G connectivity for their manufacturing operations. Mercedes-Benz leads the innovation, whose newly innovated and networked Factory 5G in Stuttgart paves the way for an efficient digitalisation, automation, and climate response.

Innovation Also Brings Technological Challenges

With the 5G spectrum auction in India right around the corner on July 26 this year, Airtel and Jio have already begun alpha-testing 5G networks in different metropolitans with trial spectrums allotted by DoT. But before we witness a successful 5G rollout in India, the telecom regulators, as well as the government, need to address specific challenges:

Challenge 01: The “Make in India” Hardware Challenge

As an outcome of the global pandemic, the restriction and indefinite ban on certain foreign OEMs, notably Chinese, means that the nation must encourage the R&D and production of hardware manufacturing.

Coupled with the ongoing challenges of fiber connectivity, India must develop technological advancements at an unprecedented rate.

Challenge 02: High Spectrum Pricing

Even compared to developed nations such as the United Kingdom, the spectrum pricing is as much as seven times higher and several times more expensive than the global average.

Telecom providers in India are already cash-strapped and prefer leasing spectrums rather than purchasing them entirely, leaving very few R&D possibilities for Indian telcos.

Challenge 03: Varying 5G Bands

5G connectivity has been divided into three spectrums to better balance speed, coverage, and reliability. While the lower band is excellent for the range, it’s limited to 100 Mbps.

The mid-band is fast but struggles with penetration. Lastly, there’s mmWave which can offer up to 20 Gbps but is limited to a couple of hundred sq. feet of network coverage.

Finally, Is India Ready For 5G?

If India is willing to benefit from a reliable foundation of 5G connectivity, it needs to allocate 5G bands tightly. What’s promising is that once the 5G rollout is successful, it can serve up to a million connected devices per sq. kilometre.

With the unprecedented advancements in connectivity, speed, and reliability, 5G internet is set to transform not only the education and healthcare space but will also hugely impact rural regions – all of which will be the hallmarks of Digital India.

Not to mention the revenue generation, which will further fuel R&D and expansion into remote regions.

Despite joining the 5G bandwagon a little late, India is making crucial investments towards its adoption.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch 5G services in India during the inauguration of the Indian Mobile Congress in Delhi on Saturday morning, ushering in the next generation of connectivity.

For a successful launch, investments in requisite telecom infrastructure such as network densification through fiberisation of sites and an adequate number of towers will be required. This, according to estimates, will amount to a whopping investment of Rs 5 lakh crore over the next four years. Nevertheless, with the Union Cabinet clearing the auction of 5G spectrum on June 15, 2022, the path of India’s 5G roll-out has become visible.

This life-changing technology will support innovations that can dramatically enhance day-to-day lives and business efficiency. Beyond much faster data transfers, far lower latency, and more network capacity, 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together, including machines, objects, and devices. It will trigger major societal transformation in India by facilitating the use of information technology across manufacturing, educational, healthcare, agricultural, financial, and social sectors, taking experiences and value creation to the next level.

The 5G Opportunity Tweetathon, presented by Qualcomm in association with CNBC-TV18, explored various facets of this rapidly emerging technology. Moderated by Reema Tendulkar of CNBC-TV18, the panel comprised Prashant Singhal, Emerging Markets TMT Leader, EY; Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus; Sanjeev Kumar, CMD, Telecommunications Consultants India; Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director, IIT-Kanpur; Neil Shah, Vice President & Partner, Counterpoint Technology Market Research; and Krishna AG, Head – Product and Marketing, LightMetrics.

They tweeted about how the adoption of 5G in India would replace legacy infrastructure across industries, increase the focus on autonomous tech, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), etc. and play a critical role in the optimization of service delivery and decision-making.

Sectors like healthcare and education are likely to be at the forefront in deploying 5G, but various other manufacturing sectors, like automotive, will benefit greatly from its adoption too. While intelligent devices, network edge, and cloud will drive the next wave of global innovation, 5G will play an imperative role in supporting them.

The discussion touched on the implications of 5G for smart cities, traffic management, and the speed of data flows between vehicles, smartphones, machines, data centers, buildings, sensors, etc. It also explored solutions for challenges such as last mile broadband connectivity to remote rural Indian households and the need to conceive and implement cyber-security for the new connected era that 5G will bring in.

As a pioneering leader of wireless technologies and a driving force behind 5G, Qualcomm is focused on enabling the 5G ecosystem and empowering India with the latest tech innovations and solutions.

Stocks vs cryptocurrencies: Understanding the main differences between the two asset classes

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Cryptocurrencies are a new asset class and have attracted mixed investor sentiments. Some believe that they can generate significant value in the long run, but many are sceptical and refrain from dipping their toes into crypto waters.

The stock market has been in existence for over a hundred years and despite their fair share of risk, they have always been considered a safe long-term bet with proven performance over time.

Cryptocurrencies are the new kid on the block and have attracted mixed investor sentiments. While some believe they can generate significant value in the long run, many are sceptical and refrain from dipping their toes into crypto waters.

This is mostly because cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and fluctuate every second. In comparison, stocks are relatively stable and take a while to mirror the ongoing market sentiment. Below is an illustration of the main differences between stocks and cryptocurrencies to help you get a better understanding of both asset classes.

India’s economic growth comprises a promising young population which has spearheaded GDP growth in the backdrop of an evolving business landscape. From the onset of the 5G network to other technological advancements and digital innovations, India’s growth story is truly unique, and has been further encouraged and supported by flagship programs like Make in India, Digital India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and PLI Incentives.

The one aspect that is underlying in the face of this rapid growth, is digital advancement. The internet has helped to reduce the digital divide massively among India’s population. From bringing about digital education and literacy to unlocking opportunities, the internet has changed the way a consumer responds to the market, encouraging ecommerce and tech brands to revitalise their brand strategies.

Journey of realme – From Starting Small to Achieving Big 

As one of the world’s fastest growing consumer tech brands, realme is a brand that started its journey as recently as in 2018, with a need to cater to user demands for both trendy designs, and powerful performance, across both the Indian and global markets. realme 1’s launch resonated highly with the market and the brand was able to quickly establish itself as India’s #4 brand effortlessly, staying true to its product philosophy, “Amalgamation of outstanding designs with advanced cutting-edge technologies.” Today, realme has 126 million+ users worldwide.

At the start of its journey, realme’s products were sold online, and subsequently offline stores were set up across India, with a goal of reaching out to a younger audience – hence introducing realme 1. Within a span of 1 year, the brand was able to go from capturing 3% to 10% market share in India, witnessing a 255% increase in sales during 2019’s festive season.

From Disruption to Trendsetting

realme has a strong foundation backing it in terms of its people – Madhav Sheth, VP, realme and President, realme International Business Group being a strong pillar of the brand’s growth story. His vision is truly remarkable, and has enabled the business to expand the brand’s product portfolio (launching multiple industry firsts such as India’s first 64MP smartphone (realme XT), India’s first 5G smartphone (realme X50 Pro), India’s fastest charging smartphone (realme X2 Pro), and the World’s First & Fastest Charging Flagship with 150W UltraDart Charging technology (realme GT NEO 3) among others)) and diversify towards AIoT products across multiple categories.

During the pandemic as well, while the business lost ~2 months of volume, recovery was quick, and the lessons learnt were quicker. realme realised that it needed to anticipate long-term effects, study the impact of challenges faced by consumers globally, and accordingly take precautionary measures. For example, the global chipset shortage arising out of supply chain problems.

Online & Offline Presence

Beyond inculcating a smart and trendy lifestyle for its consumers, realme has also managed to become one of India’s happiest workplaces. Sanjeev Kumar, Online Sales Head, realme India & Europe and Deepak Nakra, Offline Sales Head, realme India, also chime in on how the brand’s online and offline workforce has been strengthened in a short span of time to ensure optimum performance and delivery.

What started with a team of 20 members sitting in a small conference room, brainstorming ideas on how to launch the new phone, has today grown into a family of 10,000+ employees. By the end of this year realme aims to grow to a family of 13,000 + employees! realme’s employees are young, enthusiastic, and agile, much like its spirit and consumers.

Dare to Leap! 

From encouraging competitors to raise the bar, to ensuring the brand continues to climb higher ground, realme is one of the fastest growing success stories in India’s tech landscape. The brand has managed to create a positive work environment internally, and gain momentum in the market externally. From taking the ‘Leap to Greener’ by reducing carbon emissions, to focusing on manufacturing smartphones and multiple AIoT products in India, it is a brand that truly focuses on understanding and meeting customers’ demands, while remaining agile.

Having customised its product strategy to fit the changing market’s dynamics, realme is excited to grow and develop with the needs of its consumers, both in India and globally. Where’s the future headed? From building smartphones to smart home products, realme is all set to create an integrated ‘Techlife’ ecosystem that takes care of a consumer’s entertainment, care, and connection needs.

realme began with fledgling steps in the smartphone industry, and today, has established itself as a game-changer in every way possible. With a ‘go premium’ strategy in 2022 (comprising top of the line smartphones with advanced integrated technologies, notebooks and earbuds) the brand’s portfolio continues to ever-expand. No wonder today the brand is rising fast as India’s top tech-lifestyle brand with one motto – Let’s break boundaries!

Mining Pools vs Staking Pools: What is the difference

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Pooling resources allows aspirants to participate in the staking/mining process and earn block rewards without singlehandedly dedicating all necessary resources.

Independent mining and staking activities demand a lot of resources. One either needs to purchase expensive mining equipment or pledge substantial amounts of crypto toward the blockchain.

Either way, the cost of involvement can be very high. Pooling resources allows aspirants to participate in the staking/mining process and earn block rewards without singlehandedly dedicating all necessary resources.

Sure, the rewards may be lower, but they are usually constant and predictable, which is not the case for solo staking or mining.

Check out the illustration below for a better understanding:

CNBC-TV18 hosts Leadership Collective 2022 about ‘Seizing India’s Trade Opportunities’

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

The summit was held in association with Standard Chartered Bank, with Commerce Secretary to Govt of India, B.V.R Subrahmanyam as the Chief Guest; CNBC-TV18 Managing Editor, Shereen Bhan, steered the deliberations with policymakers & industry

CNBC-TV18, the leading English business news channel of India, has consistently been highlighting the prospects for economic growth of the country. With insightful reportage on upcoming government initiatives and debates involving thought leaders and experts, the channel has kept its audience informed about the latest developments on business and finance. Continuing its legacy, CNBC-TV18, in collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank, hosted a new iteration of its flagship summit, Leadership Collective 2022, on June 24 in New Delhi.

The theme of this year’s edition focused on ’Seizing India’s Trade Opportunities.’ Leaders from the Government and businesses participated in this thought leadership forum to map India’s growth prospects in global trade. The prestigious event was Chaired by B.V.R Subrahmanyam- Commerce Secretary, Govt of India.

While engaging in a candid conversation with CNBC-TV18’s Managing Editor, Shereen Bhan about India’s role in light of the current global trade dynamics, B.V.R Subrahmanyam- Commerce Secretary, Govt of India said, “India could not have been in a more opportune time as far as the prospect for trade and economic growth is concerned. India is in a sweet spot and needs to grab this opportunity that comes once in every 20-25 years. After the pandemic enforced a reshuffle of global value chains, companies are looking up to India as a country with similar size and scope of investment as that of China. From a geopolitical point of view, India is looked at as a potential economic powerhouse, set to be a multi-trillion-dollar economy in the coming decade. To achieve that feat, our export sector has been performing phenomenally. Within the last year, it crossed $400 bn, up from about a 12-year-long stagnation in the $300 bn mark, all done through real-time monitoring and addressing investment issues. Similar reforms in production and incentives are creating huge impact. In August 2021, we cleared Rs 55,000 crore worth of incentive backlog in one go. Schemes are automated now, and the government is working on a department that can run exports worth $2 trillion by 2030. There is an alignment across all government departments about how critical export is for India to become a developed nation.”

Taking the conversation forward with the Commerce Secretary, was a cast of eminent speakers from Industry and Diplomacy. His Excellency, Ugo Astuto, EU Ambassador,

Zarin Daruwala- Cluster CEO, India & South Asia Markets (Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka), Standard Chartered Bank, Mahesh Desai- Chairman, Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India; Manish Sharma- Chairman and CEO, Panasonic India and South Asia; Nishant Arya- Vice Chairman, JBM Group; Shailender Kumar- Senior Vice President and Regional Managing Director, Oracle and Dr Ajai Chowdhry- Founder, HCL & Chairman EPIC Foundation, who shared their views on the policy imperatives to achieve high export growth, the role of mutually beneficial FTAs, the need to bring down the cost of logistics among the many focus areas.

Sharing her thoughts Shereen Bhan, Managing Editor at CNBC-TV18 mentioned, “Leadership Collective is a thought leadership platform hosted by CNBC-TV18, in partnership with Standard Chartered. The idea behind the summit is to bring industry and government policymakers together and brainstorm on issues concerning our nation, its economy, and society. Breaking free from virtual shows due to the pandemic, we are back with an on-ground edition, a live audience, and thought leaders. CNBC-TV18 has always been at the forefront of driving conversations that matter from addressing the Gender gap, the role of philanthropy to drive social change, to the current topic of helping India seize the trade opportunity. The global economy is fragile because of the pandemic and faces more challenges today due to the ongoing Russia- Ukraine war. It is time to facilitate growth and that is why we wanted to bring Policymakers and Industry Leaders together to chart out an action plan”

Shedding light on the proposed EU-India #FTA deal, Ugo Astuto, EU Ambassador to India, commented, “All parameters are set for a positive engagement! We want to touch upon all topics as part of the agreement that will bolster development in our economic and trade relations. Nothing is off the table,” and added that both sides are pursuing a very ambitious timeline to ‘conclude talks by the end of 2023.’

Zarin Daruwala, Cluster CEO, India and South Asia markets, Standard Chartered Bank sharing her views at the event said, “The PLI scheme has generated a lot of interest from MNC clients. As per our own in-house estimates, it will directly benefit by creating 4 million direct jobs and pushing for indirect employment as well. Also, the intra-ASEAN trade corridor is really picking up rapidly. India must focus on the textile & leather sectors. A good example is Bangladesh’s total capitalisation of its textile policies. This year, they will cross 44-billion-dollar textile exports, which gives 4 million direct jobs and 2 crores of indirect employment. There is an 80% share of women in that workforce. We should focus on replicating that inclusive model with emphasis on women empowerment.”

With this initiative, CNBC-TV18 has strengthened its position as one of the most informative, active, and responsive business news channels.
