I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Do you support securitization or tokenization?
• BTC spot ETF is the maturity or degeneration of BTC?
• Does BTC spot ETF have any negative impact on BTC and the crypto market?

No one will know if dogecoin will retain its position as the king of meme coins but we have known one thing on this market, nothing is permanent except Bitcoin to remain at the top.

Those that have been performing well like those that have been said, they surely have been part of the market as top 100 and they're winners of this market. But you'll never know if they're going to stay there for so long because not everything that's seen to be good now will be there after this cycle.

I am starting to see a lot of recreated meme coins with almost the same name has been made like cybonk, bome, etc. But I am not going to buy them.

Remember that Bitcoin is money, so the oppression you speak of wouldn’t stop but will happen in a different setting (in Bitcoin).
If we wanted to go full throttle on Bitcoin, the rich people will use their money to buy Bitcoin and they would obviously have a lot more than the poor people.
So really, nothing would change. What Bitcoin brings is decentralization; you completely own your money.

The answer is simple, people want things to be free and that's more reason why you see that despite the emergence of decentralized exchanges, people still preferred centralized exchanges. The only time you see people using decentralized exchange is when they know they can benefits from it like when meme coins were trending, lots of people tend to use decentralized exchanges just like the Solana reach highest volume on it's Dex this year and that's as a result of meme demand.

Casino are not different from this, Ethereum been the most popular is going to be a failure because of the high fees, you can't imagine wagering a game and then you are required to pay $10 for a fee to interact with a smart contract. People will lose interest unless there is something unique about the casino. I'm not sure whether even me I will do such kind of transaction for gambling, imagine wagering multiple times when you have only $100 for playing that session.

What is different with doge which is not same with others? Nothing expect the fact it was the first memecoin to get attention and the timely endorsement from Elon Musk had triggered it's value else it wouldn't have achieved what it did but on a longer run why would anyone hodl Doge? Atleast I wouldn't be hodling it because let's think from investment/business point of view as any business or investor will invest only if the see growth potential due to the product or the services which the coin could provide as we cannot bank on Elon Musk forever. Doge has lost it's charm.

The decentralization will only work when the websites, apps and other means by which they are being translated are allowed by the government. What if the government blocked that access? Including the CEX and DEX? People often believe in the DEX, but they often forget that it is also running online and it is people that would patronise it for it to function. What if it is now a criminal offence all over the world and strict internet surveillance is used?

I hope the day never comes, so we should embrace and cooperate with any regulation brought by the government, at least, it is better than losing everything.

I am planning to use Grin because I like the concept, and have downloaded Grin++. At a first glance it looks quite good (it's even one of the more visually attractive altcoin wallets I saw, I like the yellow-black combination) and easy to use, so I don't understand that much the problem some of you folks have with the GUI. Yes, I know it's not "official". And it seems to be at least partly based on Electron. But AFAIK on Ethereum the GUI wallets are also provided by third parties.

I don't know why Grin is so low valued. Perhaps it has to do with the general problem of decentralized altcoins to have less funds for marketing, in particular for social media shilling. Perhaps it's due to the 51% attack it suffered some years ago, or even the perception of people that governments are taking action against privacy coins (Monero's performance was also underwhelming this year). But it can be seen currently as an opportunity to onboard new people - and what is valued very low can provide good profits even if it doesn't reach the top coins.

And no, I don't think Grin "isn't necessary" because Monero exists. The privacy technology is very different, with unique advantages and disadvantages. If Monero for example fails because of some kind of attack, perhaps the Grin algorithm has characteristics which make it less vulnerable.

For example, in the last days Monero network saw a lot of activity which may be spam transactions. It is possible that these came from chain analysis companies trying to lower the privacy level of the Monero users, because in the "ring signature" model the more "known" participants of a ring-signed transaction there are, the less private are the remaining ones. I still don't think Monero is unsafe or not private enough due to this reason, because afaik if you're cautious you can still have a much higher level of privacy than with Bitcoin even if 50% of the txes were chain analysis spam permanently (and also this spam would be expensive if sustained for a long time). But afaik this kind of attack isn't possible with Grin in this way (correct me if I'm wrong, I have only a rudimentary understanding of MimbleWimble), so it has an advantage.

For me, the NFTs I don't even want to contemplate minting whenever I stumble on tasks demanding minting them are the ones on the ETH chain. Doing anything that requires paying with ETH seems to be exploitative. Gas fees are incredibly high compared to other chains. Even a common swap, let alone bridge from any chain to ETH or the other way round, is crazy. I wish Vitalik Buterin and his team would do something about that, though 🙄

When crypto becomes more popular like now, it seems it's hard to finds where we can playing gambling without KYC. When we can get one casino that doesn't apply KYC too strict, that's just beginning because when the casino grows and becomes popular, the government will takes on their eyes to that casino and will ask them to used KYC for their members. That's why we can only follow what's the rules for every casino and if we don't comfortable with the rules, we can try to search for the other casino.

Make sure you can playing gambling at the trusted casino, popular, have a good reputations so you don't have to worry if something bad happens. The governments now searching for the crypto business and trying to controls them so crypto business can just follow their rules.

See this?

This is how the real world adoption looks. Litecoin has been dominating the crypto payments. It is the ultimate crypto currency till it  becomes a store of value coin like bitcoin.

This screenshot above guarantees that litecoin will always have a price support no matter what happens. It is because it solves a real world problem. People really use it to buy goods. BCH was supposed to be like this but guess what, LTC is better than BCH.

This is an amazing perspective view. It is true that money may be used to enslave people, but it is enticing that technology has the capacity to change the way we think about power, wealth, and authority. One of the most fascinating parts of Bitcoin is the concept of independence, or operating your own bank. Bitcoin allows you to keep your own private information and handle your own funds, without depending on other people such as banks or authorities. This could result in a more equal and transparent banking system, giving individuals more power over their personal resources.

It’s amazing how everyone in the first page was saying that it is nothing but a joke and it will fail. It’s 2024 and DOGE happens to be the lead of all memecoins, It has set an example and other memecoins are trying to follow in recreating its success story. Dogecoin that was all for fun and jokes has made people millionaires. Thanks to Elon Musk though. And today, it’s beginning to be more than just a meme coin.

Bitcoin will not become the world's currency if it continues to be exchanged for fiat or paper money. The value of bitcoin still depends on fiat money. People continue to buy bitcoin in pursuit of accumulating more paper money. If you are wealthy, you can buy a lot of bitcoin, but if you are poor, you may have little or no bitcoin as your possession. Bitcoin will only become a currency if it breaks free from being tied to paper money. One bitcoin value should be one bitcoin or one satoshi for a tray of eggs or ten satoshis for a service. People need to stop using government issued paper money if we truly want change.

Yes, governments can easily disrupt the crypto market. They can simply impose taxes on your accounts, ban some major markets, or declare cryptocurrencies illegal assets. Moreover, they have many ways to track you even if you try to use crypto behind their backs. So, we hope governments play fair and don't interfere with us right now.

They were intended just to be silver rounds/tokens...not wallets.
None of them came with holograms.
I wouldn't over value these as there are tons of makers who make generic crypto rounds like this

if you look at the back, you would see that a holo placement would not be ideal with the raised text

Those look like the Lealana coins, but as far as I remember they came with holograms (and were usually loaded). These might be AliExpress copies (example).

EDIT: Had a chat with MJ and these are made by Golden Eagle Coins. They made maybe 6 or 7 different ones.

The mintage is probably a 1000 coins, seeing how the Bitcoin variant still has 664 in stock.

I think that until now Doge remains the king of meme coins because so far there has been no meme coin that can beat Doge in terms of market capitalization and popularity. It is very difficult to replace Doge as the king of meme coins because Doge was the first meme coin and was the beginning of the creation of meme coins.

According to me the difference and inequality between rich and poor can never be controlled. We are thinking that through BTC this inequality can be reduced or controlled but the problem is that money has to be used to buy BTC as well. That means people with more money will be able to buy more BTC and people with less money will be able to buy less BTC. Again, there are many people who are not interested in investing in BTC and prefer fiat currency savings or investing in fiat currency. Many people who invest in BTC will withdraw their investment from BTC when the value of BTC is too high.
