Mintable ERC20 tokens means the owner of the ERC20 could add new tokens to the total supply (increasing total supply) as they want. there's minting function in the smart contract that allows the owner to mint new tokens and most of them usually use that.

They literally keep repeating the same thing over and over again to FUD the market, remember that they keep saying they gonna ban crypto every year and preventing institutions form dealing with crypto like from few years ago and you can see people over china still be able to use cryptocurrency freely.
I think at this point people should learn to just ignore china's statement against crypto, they can prevent crypto from flourishing in their country as they want, people just gonna move over using overseas service etc.

It's the same as like every other market. Where there's a way for speculation there's also a way to manipulate the market by the big capital holders, the more unregulated it is, the more ways for the market to be manipulated. The most important thing is, instead of focusing on that we should be more focused on analyzing what kind of movement
the whales gonna take next time and it's usually have something to do with affecting the market player psychology.

Doubt elon gonna live in the moon, it's just unhabitable. Not to mention even if he really live on the moon he pretty sure have a way to somewhat manage tesla from a far because you know, he might've deployed interplanetary network connection by the time he could build something in the moon but that's very unlikely scenario.
To be honest though, if people stop making tesla as if it's the holy grail of the electric automobile we wouldn't even care whether tesla gonna adopt bitcoin or not.

Even if they did it won't dent the market forever. if they truly want to revoke because of external pressure then it's better to do it now but if turns out el salvador could keep bitcoin as their legal tender then maybe other countries that are insterested in it gonna follow.
but I doubt the politician there gonna do that because revoking thing after approving almost immediately just come to show that they are not really good in making decision.

depends on how much profit the miners could make, if it could make at least 80% of their former profit when still residing in china then maybe that's doable but is it really big deal though when the hash power decreases due to china's crackdown of miners?
Back then people keep saying that bitcoin is too centralized since the mining power mostly coming from china, now that's not happening anymore and people are worrying about it although the mining difficulty dynamically changes based on the available hash power if I recall correctly.

must remember that nft is different to erc20, each nft is unique and the price usually based on each NFT as an individual coin not based on the general price of a coin like erc20 or even real cryptocurrency.
therefore buying nft at the dip could be risky if you can't really judge the real value of an NFT.
however if it's generic NFT like for example slp of axie then maybe it's still profitable to buy around the dip, otherwise nft is just a harder option to make some flipping.

Nowadays most of IDO, IEO and ICO are locking the token for their early investor, tbh it's not really a problem anymore nowadays, if people willing to spend some time and read the tokenomic they could figure out which project actually aren't a game of who comes early.
ICO back few years ago was such unrefined method of fundraising, now it's getting more better and better in guaranteeing the safety of investor from such thing.

Of course it can but it all depends on the market players themselves, but definitely not completely immune against elon musk moreover if elon keep achieving great things that revolutionize the way human lives.
but, if people always figures out that either elon's shill and fud only temporarily affect the market no one gonna bats an eye anymore and his tweet become somewhat irrelevant, but remember there's always some people who trying to make profit off elon's tweet sentiment
making his influence becomes even greater like for example those bots that set buy order or sell order based on elon's sentiment through his tweet analyzation.

yeah it reminds me of cryptokitties many kitties are priced really high back then and now maybe it has been decreasing in price however game like this that gives reward won't just go to zero in a matter of weeks.
Probably if we're late to the game, the ROI will take a lot longer, which could be a deal breaker for most of people so it's better to rethink again, not to mention there's many similar blockchain based games that gives reward nowadays.

dex already suffice, no need to rush if the exchange that gonna list you is not a popular enough exchange that could be a big opportunity for your project, not to mention some indicates that the person who contacted you seems fishy,
if you truly think your project deserve to get listed in a big centralized exchange then it's better for you to contact those exchanges directly through the available listing contact, but for most of the part, uniswap is already enough if there's many liquidity in there, almost everyone know how to use it.

should just implement bitcoin payment method by partnering with crypto payment gateway provider, it's not like the volatility will be the biggest problem anyway since most of these payment gateway converts the crypto to USD at the time of receiving.
I doubt anyone gonna tell the company to accept bitcoin before they bought things from them since these customers could easily convert their crypto to fiat then buy instead of taking the long way of contacting the company to accept btc.

that's exactly why if you want to make a long term holding you better choose an underrated coin that have potential to become popular in the future. if you're just holding a coin that's already among the top #5 but have quite poor potential then it's the same as losing money.
Of course to judge which of coin have a high potential isn't an easy feat but usually if you invested in a coin at early phase with cheaper price its gonna increase the chance of making you profit in the future.

His tweet just temporarily lift the market up but still a contributing factor to add more powerful resistance above $30000 in my opinion.
But, if the market is still rather bearish or the fear index still rather high, it's just hard to keep the market above $40000, as you know many new bitcoin investor are rather panicky and have a weak hand meanwhile the trading who did scalping also contributes to a harder of breakthrough beyond $40000, maybe we gonna see bullrun at the end of the year though all these just my opinion.

some people just too comfortable making profit using the traditional currency that they are used to, not to mention the people you mentioned are group of old men.
the thing is, some millionaire always have this some kind of belief that they follow, warren buffet rarely believe in digital goods or any digital service, the main reason why he bought tech based company stocks very late in the game.
tbh i've seen quite many millionaires favour crypto as well but most of them stays under the radar, it's just the media keep repeating fud from someone like warren buffet a lot more.

doesn't to make a transaction it needs to be signed using private key though? I doubt the decentralized app inside trust wallet could retrieve the private key, no way they could access it using some kind of script but that's just as I remember correctly.
I think most of cases of wallet hacking like this due to exposure of the private key, maybe an app that was installed in the phone somehow get access to the private key stored in the phone.

If being worthless means the price go down to zero as if not even one soul in this planet value it anymore I doubt that, it will shake the market yes but even today they have cracked few mining facilities and the price instead going up again.
Elon's influence over the market seem to be bigger than china frankly speaking, this time around china's fud affect the market but not too much and their crackdown won't bring bitcoin market to its demise.

money is just a tool, it can't spend itself neither creates evil if the people who uses it doesn't do so. but honestly, most of people who think that money is source of evil think so because they have this scenario in mind where money is a tool specifically created by some faction to dominate the world economy (im talking about paper money).
However, we recently see a lot more consumtive lifestyle which are very money oriented and that maybe where these idea about how evil money is comes from, however we've been facing such issue ever since ages ago, it's just we have internet and all these things gets exposed and becomes a lot clearer for people to see.

Useless coin in my opinion, i'm pretty sure that although the coins states it hates elon clearly on its name but the people who hold it won't refuse if elon is to shill this coin making this coin pumped in price.
If you truly concerned of elon manipulation, try to report to the authority. Otherwise these kind of coin is another money grab for people who are vulnerable and think they could do something against elon through this coin.
