You cannot transact anything on the ETH network without having a balance on your ETH Wallet. It's best to convert some of that USDT to ETH and then convert and swap. I think the fees with that are quite enormous the last time I transacted in the network. It's best to just swap another currency or find out what other coin you can purchase in Coinbase.

April Activity

As I ponder what to do for the April activity, I looked for ways to impact everyone. I thought that and it's not just with humans, but it will be with animals. That's why I decided to contact PAWS and ask about what they need and the appropriate time to go. This is because of all the restrictions because of the pandemic.

A little background with Paws. As indicated on their website, PAWS is a registered non-profit organization that is dedicated to the protection and the promotion of humane treatment of all animals. from https://paws.org.ph/about-us/

Preparation:



They want a bunch of cat food and cleaning materials. Most of their donators are always thinking that if it's animal welfare and they house a shelter, they will always think about dogs. So most of the donations and animal food that they have consisted of most dog food. It's one of the reasons I contacted them on what they need because they might have a request, hence the cat food that they need.

Activity:
They gave us a shelter tour of how the animals are housed and how their operations work. Let me share with you what I've learned about them as well.

This is their receiving area in which the donations are going to be drop off there (if there's no shelter tour)


There is also the memorial part of the shelter where there is a fee with putting your pet (another source of their income) that would symbolize how they could visit a type of "grave" for their pets. No actual remains are there, just a place where furrents can visit when they feel the need.



Before animals are housed there or helped, they have these quarantine areas to prevent the spreading of possible viruses and diseases to those already in the shelter. This is part of their protocol according to the government's regulations in how shelters should work.



After the animals finish their quarantine stage and are checked by the veterinarian, they are now placed into their real shelter. IIRC, Some of their places are called "Cattery" and Kittenery." They have this catwalk and some dogs who are free to roam in some sense. They also have this doggie park.





When the animals get sick, they are put into a separate area, depending on their condition. They have severe and mild conditions places. And also a separate room for animals with disabilities. They also have a dedicated vet clinic for their needs, of course. I only managed to capture the images for the cat's places because the place for the dogs are pretty hard to get into and hard to take a clear picture of it



They have a vast area in the city, so it's great to see that it's very well taken care of with all the recent happenings. I'm happy that we can help them. Thanks to everyone who has supported this initiative.

This is the result of people who have kind hearts to donate to this Bitcointalk Charity. Having it anonymously done makes it even more special. So thank you for the donations. To more events like this!

Most of the Pump and Dump groups are just recycling signals one or another. Like they register to a signal group and they are selling their " subscription" by creating another group and selling their signals but it just came from one signal to the other.

It's best to stay away from this type of investment. It's not going to be good for you. It's just a bunch of people who hope that they can get money from people who are desperate enough to have their "hope" in trading.

It could be that case too. But I highly doubt if they are going to go legit in this crypto space. I don't think you can fake the transaction on it to just say they are good. Or is it? Maybe examining the wallet address could give answers.

It seems that the address that the OP posted has removed all the funds already. Leaving only 1 ETH in the address. Cashed out maybe? Didn't check where the transactions went through.

I think it still depends on who you are talking to and if they are trustworthy enough, to begin with. The best way, IMO, is to tell them that they themselves can earn but they need to study and put some real effort into it as well. Understand why the likes of Elon Musk are hyping crypto. Educating them with what crypto is the best approach.

I think people who became famous by becoming a millionaire in the recent Doge pump could be a great example of those. So saying those who had the opportunity to become millionaires could immediately say that they could earn from it. But doing that is a different story as well (because of trading).

I actually checked it first and saw that they are not yet on the stage on token selling so it's immediately a red flag. I'm sad that people didn't even check or did their own research first before investing.

I think you just answered your question. It's long-term. And it's typically going to be profitable the longer you hold it. Some influencers do have a belief in Bitcoin, especially if their niche is somewhat inclined to technology. As long as people are holding, I think it's worth saving as well. If you have extra money, then why not just invest more. No cashing out until you don't need it yet. I think that's the best strategy.

Bragging is going to be very different when it comes to other people. People tend to be jealous or outright hate you just because of that, and it could cause some stir with regards to your holdings.

That's not wise to outright tell everyone, but it's not wrong to help them as well. I mean not entirely, like how much you have, but what you have learned and gained, not in specific terms, but in how much Crypto has helped you. I think that's a better way to say it instead of bragging.

It would depend on your neighbors as well if they are not to be trusted or not. If you live in a community that is quite respectful of your privacy, then let it be.

Thanks for sharing, OP. There are a lot of scammers taking advantage of the project.

I am posting a screenshot in desktop mode.



The website itself looks kind of sketchy.

The idea of NFT is excellent, and I think the next pump like that of DOGE will be near the NFT space. I'm not sure, but if something big like the Pokémon brand or something would go and create their token with something similar, it would be a big thing. Not sure what token that is, but it's going to be big. I hope some updates are going to go with that.

What mk4 said. And mostly, you should follow your gut and belief and only blame yourself for your mistakes.

If I were in your situation and have funds to invest in anything that I want, I would allocate it in different percentages. So based on your answer that you cannot afford to lose more than 25% of your portfolio, I think, the best way.
*Not a financial advice

Determine your priority projects: 50%
Determine your interested project: 25%
Bitcoin: 25%

You could play with any amount and percent that you want, but I think this is ideal for diversifying your portfolio with different assets.

Always keep in mind that you can put it all in one and get a promising return, just like the investor who puts his life savings in doge and becomes a millionaire. It can happen if your promising project is like that, but you have to be firm on your decision because it doesn't happen to everyone.

I think I remember a similar thread about that. I know that they really froze the clients accounts knowing that he has acted on buying BTC and telling the bank without knowing that it's not allowed. I'm not sure if they gave him his money back or something but it's still a risk to be involved in banking systems that doesn't support this kind of finance.

If I understood it correctly, it would have tokens under its network again that students could create, etc. What's the difference with other coins if it will have their exchange as well?

I think the concept is excellent. I saw that there are a lot of swaps to this token in Uniswap. What I see is that what happened on April 20? There were many fundholders, and it seems that many investors are coming in with this. It makes me feel like FOMO, too as well.

Being personally involved in the academic industry in my country, it's pretty reasonable to see this effort by the team. I'm still curious about this, though.  I'm looking forward to seeing what other members are going to say about this project.

With the recent adoptions of businesses in the cryptocurrency world, it's most likely to go with ETH.
*This is just my personal opinion and not to be taken as financial advice

Many people are taking more ETH to their wallets and their portfolios, allocating more to it than BTC. I have read and watched a couple of videos with different opinions on what could be profitable in the coming years. I believe that would be ETH, and we all know that it's one of the cryptocurrencies that have a lot of projects underneath it and is currently most used in addition to NFT's, etc.

You shouldn't think about it too much if your holdings, LTC, wouldn't reach ATH yet. Maybe there's no current impact at the moment. It's one of the OG coins worth holding as well, but you might miss other opportunities. You have to be prepared for that as well.

Plagiarism should already be an offense itself knowing that taking credit for someone else's work. Passing stuff as your own without any correct procedure being done to just "reference" the actual context is wrong.

In addition, tweets are easily constructed if done correctly. It's not that hard to describe something that you work on about.

That's most of it for sure but at least once you are retweeting someone, it shows the original tweet. Unlike plagiarisms though.

Having that large amount of BTC would surely be tremendous and need to be tested if it's possible and that liquidation made the Tesla team realize that it's great that they can do it and if necessary, they have that asset lying around and be a great performing asset by the company as well.

Probably some of their Tesla sales that were bought by BTC were liquidated within that 10% and it's going to work for them for sure.

I see many people exciting ADA at the very least, and I think I want to convert some of my holdings to it. They predict that it could go high as $5, and if you say $10, I would be amazed. I'm not yet allocating to ADA, but I would be soon enough. It's another excellent alternative for ETH IIRC, and not mistaken about it. If it goes even more viral, I feel like $10 is going to be easy.

So the more you transact, the more you can kind of "donate"?

I think it's a great idea, and maybe it could add an integrated thing with staking? Perhaps if you have those rewards, then they could be deposited into the charity account and that distribution that is needed or something.

Additionally, maybe you could work with the Bitcointalk Charity or something.

I recently received an email from HaveIBeenPwned and then a couple of hours later, I received that spam email.



I'm not sure if it's connected but it can be. Most of the exposed emails probably have received it as well. The email that was sent was dynamic so they just probably sent it to the leaked email data.

Any particular reason why it's going to rise in that price? I know that it's a competitor to Ethereum but it's still a long way to go. Is there a particular event that is awaiting for DOT to reach a new ATH?

I'm currently looking for ways to hedge some of my assets to another crypto so I can take advantage of the volatile price movements from the market.
