Happy 4th anniversary, Stake. I wondered if any promotions are going on with this or if they will follow Roobet's promotions like art contests or something? That would be nice or something.

Anyway, stay strong, Stake!

This is the infamous tactic by scammers on Telegram, Discord, and where ever there is a crypto-related site. They are typically the ones telling you that if you withdraw and help them, they will help you.

The only way you can get those kinds of returns is in Gambling.

This transition from PoW to PoS is a significant milestone towards becoming influential towards the #1 race in the cryptocurrency space. I don't think it will ever beat Bitcoin, but ETH is easily one of the best. This is one reason why ETH is continuously rising in price, and it seems that it's not that far from reaching higher prices like, let's say $10k.

Understandably, APY would change because of the fluctuations and all the inevitable losses that could happen while staking. That's just the risk towards it. This makes me feel that I need to buy more ETH.

In addition to what others have already mentioned above, you can think about it this way. Institutional investors have more money than regular or retail investors like us. If more supply comes into play within this crypto space, more value will increase; hence the price will rise. Isn't that what we all want? Knowing that we all are here?

If they are willing to risk their capital to it, isn't it already adopted? If you know someone who just HODL's, what is the difference between them and the institutional investors?

I explored a little bit on those new features, mainly on ParaSwap and Rainbow.me.

On ParaSwap, what I checked on are the coins that are applicable to be swapped. Most of the ones I use to swap for are not available there, but it's a great feature to start of with. Easily convert some of your holdings towards what token/asset you want. Mostly this is going to be helpful to prevent depositing it to exchange or whatnot but noticed the high fee. That might be what SFR10 is talking about. Good thing I didn't push through it.

Rainbow.me showed me my holdings with NFT, including the NFT games that I played and the ones that I minted. It's helpful to see what you hold and show its graphics.

This will definitely be a stepping stone for those who want to develop and be part of the ledger catalog.

This is excellent news for everyone. I hope that Google would find ways to monitor and cancel out ads that will possibly scam people and know what type of projects and companies are legit. Some of the wrong people will probably take advantage of this and make it so that they are benefiting from this lifting of the ban.

Overall, this would create even more exposure to crypto, and I hope it's a positive one.

It depends on how much I like the topic, if it's not that important to me, I remove it from my watchlist. The notifications I use are for different boards like Services, Local Boards, etc.

This is one of the reasons why I used the Telegram Bot made by TryNinja, it's super effective and useful for those conversations that are worth replying to.

It's safe to assume that your talking about an open system because an isolated system or closed system is where you can only increase the entropy and not decrease. If you consider every factor and parameter, the net increase would always be will always be positive.

I don't really think that applying this principle can help us. Isn't this mostly applied with heat and matter? What is the measurable property of Bitcoin mining that you could correlate with this?

P.S. I will be waiting for your "application" of third law of thermodynamics. lol

You pretty much have explained the reason why people buy NFT. It's like purchasing an art piece in the gallery and putting it up on display in your house for people to see when they visit you. It's most likely because of the rarity or design of the art piece. Most people who can purchase things like these are the ones who don't have to think about what they invest into or hoping to get a return for it. Almost everything that we do in life is for-profit; I doubt some don't think about it.

The value of Bitcoin is entirely dependent on everyone and what the whales are going to do (we all know this), but when it comes to energy consumption, it's not a waste because many things go to it.

The only way that it wastes energy is by mining through non-renewable energy resources. Most of this would be from fossil fuels and coal power plants that produce electricity, and it is scarce. There's nothing more to it than that.

Yes, it does support the blockchain, etc., but the energy is not as efficient comparing to renewable energy sources. I think everybody who is a hater of crypto is probably going to attack from that angle,. Still, in reality, those operating in the non-renewable energy setup will be at a loss in the long run, so it's technically a waste.

You get a double win when you use renewable energies. Clean and efficient use of energy. No additional waste.

Only waste would be the ones lost in energy conversion processes (the imperfect systems)

On a daily timeframe, that's a pretty rare occasion for that. But that's not going to be always the case. Could this be another pattern form that could be a signal to bullish points? I'm pretty curious about how many patterns like this show, and it just rises like that. I doubt it will be seen in a lower timeframe because of the volatility that we have here in the cryptocurrency world.

Well, yeah, I think I understand why they have to mirror their interface because that's what works and most new companies that see potential in the market copy the ones who has been successful. I didn't look at it in the back-end side but I see where you are coming from.

That's probably the reason why there are connections and similarities between them. Programming that from the ground-up would require thousand hours of work with multiple engineers producing it.

I like this idea, and I believe that this could initiate some exposure. To be clear here, this is not financial advice. Invest at your own risk and understand that coins can lose value in the long run if it's a shit coin.

Since I like gaming, I would include some tokens that are related to NFT games.

1. BTC
2. ETH
3. BNB
4. ADA
5. GUNTHY
6. SLP
7. AXS
8. ILV
9. VEGA
10. HUMAN

As someone who is bullish in every way in BTC, I believe that Bitcoin will go up higher in the long run. If you can check the trading chart of it for the past few months, it does show a hold of price in the range that we are in now. If we can break the resistance again around ~$42k, we can go even higher, TBH. I can't wait to see the upcoming price increase with this. Hopefully, every one of us can rise with this.

I think it's a good investment right now and that with the increased adoption and the significant upgrade that is going to happen soon, it can even trigger higher prices. I do hope that it reaches a new ATH this year. I even got more ETH just because of this and, of course, getting more promising projects. I know that many things can be invested in right now, with all the NFT games hype in the ETH chain.

Upon experience, I feel that Bybit is the clone of Binance regarding GUI and user experience. The colorways also add to the "thought" of it having being cloned or something. I'm curious as to how much it could've been to do that, and if it's true, how many more exchanges could there be? There are probably overlaps of connections between these exchanges, and they have probably the same devs or something. Lol.

I think that it's hard to create an exchange if you don't have the experience and connections to design and develop one. When you have relationships, like someone in Binance, you can re-create how it's being done.

Having alternatives are the way to be in the game for a very long time.

There are a lot more other shitcoins out there that are being hyped. Maybe you can follow that and get a quick buck with that. Make sure that whenever you are investing in these types of coins, make sure that it's something "okay" to lose. It's probably going to be gone if you chose the wrong one or too late to exit.

I agree with what you are saying. The movement with LTC hasn't been well compared to the other top crypto. I guess the time is finished for LTC for now. Maybe someday, when there's more application to it, perhaps it will bring more people to buy it, but I think we're stuck in this right now until that happens.

What made you HODL it in the first place? Why don't you believe in it now?

No one should decide it for you; only you should determine where you invest your money. It's never going to be a good idea to follow someone else's advice unless you both have the investors' risk-taking mindset.

I'm happy to see them doing sponsorship deals and making themselves known to everyone. I like how they are operating. I currently use their exchange as well, and I kind of like how they are doing. Mostly like with the charity stuff on their site with staking their token and giving rewards and such. Anyway, the feature that I like with their site is the tokenized stocks that some traders cannot trade unless they have a foreign account or something.

The odds of winning that is so freaking low. Good luck with the participants.

It's nice that you have been able to invest and receive that 1% gain with your investment monthly. I mean, that's incredible without doing anything. There are different sites that you can invest in and I think they have been mentioned by people above. Maybe you can just increase your capital there if you are confident enough for it, you know. This is not financial advice.
