wallet VS Alpaca-API

What really makes the Celo protocol stand out is its ability to solve two fundamental barriers to using crypto as a means of payment: ease of use and purchasing power volatility. The mobile-first Valora wallet built on Celo is a social payment application-oriented around overcoming these exact barriers through phone number verification and stable-value assets. Crypto addresses are linked to using mobile phone numbers, making crypto transactions as easy as sending a text message. The application also provides minimal volatility of assets through the use of stablecoins, countering any concerns of payment made with volatile assets. Access to other dApps in the Celo ecosystem, decentralized exchanges, lending opportunities within DeFi, and exploration of NFT collections are all available on the same platform — facilitating interoperability and enhancing user experience.

The initial training, conducted by local partner, NairoBits, provided participants with guidance on cryptocurrency and cUSD transactions, how to complete microwork tasks, and how to cash out earnings to M-Pesa. After that phase, all 200 Kenyan participants went on to complete digital microwork tasks provided by Appen via the Toca app (now Corsali). Within a few seconds of completing their tasks in Corsali, participants were paid in cUSD. After linking their Corsali account to the Valora.app, a popular cryptocurrency wallet built on Celo, participants were able to transfer their earnings into Valora for a fee of only 0.02%, regardless of transaction size.

All you have to do is download the Valora app, a Celo wallet, and fund it by buying cUSD or cEUR, which you can do from the app directly.

Is there anyone using Alpaca for long term and passive investing? I am neither a US nor Europe residence, so it is pretty hard to find a decent broker. I came across alpaca.market https://alpaca.markets/ and noticed that there is zero comission for buying and selling stocks. I know that it has pretty good API especially for developers and day traders, but i am particularly interested in long term passive investing, and not interesting in day trading at all. Is it goog for long term passive investing (buying and holding etfs)?

No worries at all! https://alpaca.markets/ is another route for market data. Real time data is cheaper but it is lacking technical analysis. We used to use it and it's pretty good.

Alpaca: https://alpaca.markets/

Access to historical data from Alpaca and Yahoo Finance, or from your own data provider.

I have been looking at https://alpaca.markets/ and wanted to use it to test out some of my API based trading.

What guarantees or structures are in place to make sure it doesn't end up like FTX?

Market data is an easier one to answer. We currently use https://alpaca.markets/ and they're pretty good, but we're also looking at https://polygon.io/ as they're the industry leader (but also 2k per month for what we require).

I'm trying to make an HTTPS request with an ESP32 to this website alpaca.markets. I have the CA cert and I'm using WiFiClientSecure.h. Here's my code, main.cpp is underneath all that.

Or you can sign up for a free account at Alpaca and use their historical data API. Then you can get data on many tickers with one function call.
