"Why not "COVID" vaccine passports on a blockchain ID" - because centralized database - simple excell sheet with ID and yes/no annotation in second column is good enough in such case. What extra use case bring blockchain here?
Because you would need a world database, because the governments have incompatible systems, because it can be tampered with... I think you have not though this over.

I'll ride this topic by asking the members of the community if they could enlight me on Non-Fungible Tokens. I've already had my fair share of google search but I would like to know what are your guys stance on it as well..
Just in case someone still does not know, NFT are those that are unique, that is, you can distinguish one from another. The best way to understand this is thinking a Picasso versus a USD. Any USD is like any other USD (more or less) at least in value, but any picture is unique. I have mentioned my view here, but in essence, it makes sense in videogames and electronic property where ownership has an utility (e.g. Decentraland, etc...), otherwise (e.g. gifs and tweets) makes little sense to me.

I published this on another thread, but I think is worth noting here that you can now NFTize a tweet and sell it. Currently there is one at 2 Million USD., but there are a number of other "cheaper" tweets. My take on this is that it is going to far. I think NTFs have a space in the digital world, mostly in games, where these items do have an economic value linked to some type of use, as opposed to a "tweet" that anyone can see and has not other use than being read, which can anyway be done in tweeter.

He puesto un articulo parecido en la seccion general del foro, pero creo q vale comentarlo tambien en la hispana. El primer tweet del CEO de Twitter convertido en un token no fungible (NFT) y "firmado" por el autor del mismo esta siendo subastado y ha alcanzado la cifra de 2 millones de USD.El contenido, "just setting up my twttr," Dorsey de Marzo del 2006 como veis no tiene mucho valor ni es una gran proclamacion de intenciones por parte de este emprendedor q ha llevado a Twetter hasta donde esta hoy, pero supongo q es el hecho de capturar digitalmente un momento de la historia lo que hace interesante este formato.

Mientras muchos gobiernos lo ven como amenaza, Venezuela lo ve como oportunidad. Es curioso porque otros paises con una situacion economica bastante estropeada tambien estan tomando la iniciativa para usar bitcoin a su favor. Por ejemplo, Iran esquivando sanciones mediante la mineria y las transacciones de bitcoin. A dia de hoy hay dos formas de verlo: paises q simplemente no lo entienden, les asusta y lo prohiben ( Nigeria) o paises q lo aprovechan incluso a nivel estatal. Las jurisdicciones mas permisivas en verde (cointelegraph) suelen ser las que tienen una legislacion, aunque sea dura, que rodea las criptodivisas. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh4.googleusercontent.com%2FL0D7xG-Zq6yT6OZzgAynqIoqZwfywP27x7CuT6mRXiOyq7H9AWfkgOAdvEAQYe0uui1gz00NAPyyOqC-D1ueO3aMLtP--GQFAiI3-2vabP3syDh-pwn7rArZSoiJC-XRH2CY5Yk&t=663&c=IYRs3mA4J0jqUQ)

Hi everyone, I read some rumours of companies or groups offering services of betting on your behalf on matches in which the betting house got, for whatever reason, their odds wrong. A friend told me that he was successful in doubling his money, although the houses obviously close any account that looks suspicious. Do you guys know any of these services?

I can't believe that everything was going normal in Real Madrid this year, they even came out of 3 year champions league championship just few years ago, so they have been one of the most dominating force in all of europe only like 2 or 3 years ago [...] This is proof already that Barcelona is a lot better than Real, if Barca had a decent year with no turmoil like this they would be at the top with 10+ points difference.
The problem is that Barca is far too busy with politics and discussions and they are loosing the focus on gaming. It is really difficult to win the league without throwing sticks into your own cartwheels. I am talking Messi, but also elections.

Gas fees tend to soar the moment you need to make a transfer the most. To keep an eye you can use Ethgasstation which will give you an indication of a realistic minimum depending on how much of a hurry are you really in. Most of the times you do not really mind if it takes one minute or one day - at least I don't - so take a look at the probability of getting your transaction mined to at least not paying for what you don't really need.

It is certainly possible to regulate DEXs as much as it is possible to regulate any other content on the web since you need to host a frontend somewhere, which by the way, is where the main vulnerability is located (see etherdelta hack). However the legislation is quite different across jurisdictions so, at most, a country can regulate the rules of engagement of the DEX with their residents or citizens.

knowledge is part of success, unless is just pure luck. However there is a lot related to being the right person, at the right time and in the right place. It is not a coincidence that Bill Gates, William Hewlett and David Packard and many other were at the right university (even if Bill was a drop-out) at the moment in which the right technologies were colluding into an immense opportunity. Re tax optimisation, that works if you have no ties to a particular place.

Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey has made a NFT (non-fungible token) out of his first tweet ever "“just setting up my twttr” and now is auctioning it at "Valuables by Cent". And he is not the only one, actually many people (virtually anyone) can do the same. I think that if this catches speed there may be many more tokenised "moments in history" including videos, first scenes of actors, digital art, ... Offer's getting ridiculously high.
Potentially, the content of significant tweets will very frequently become property of someone and that will be carefully registered in distributed blockchain ledgers. I can see a clear market for celebrities, politicians and leaders.

From NY, McAfee and Jimmy Watson, who worked on McAfee's cryptocurrency team, conspired to commit commodities and securities fraud. Thus is based on them influencing investors. The amount mentioned is 13M USD. McAfee is also held in Spain for tax evasion charges in USA.
This is the sign of the ICO and shitcoin era.

I'm going to bring up a quote from suchmoon because he's made me think that there is something fishy about Saylor: I know it's tempting to idolize Bitcoin evangelists (anyone remember Roger "Jesus" Ver?) but Saylor has a history of financial fraud and his business hasn't been doing well until he decided to pump Bitcoin. So yeah to me he seems like a corporate crook who decided to blow OPM on something that I happen to have an interest in but that doesn't mean I should start praising him for that. I'll be happy to eat my words if 10 years from now he truly turns out to be the second coming of Satoshi.
It's good to know this. I've googled "Michael Saylor fraud" and I am going to quote one of the articles (from the NYT): MicroStrategy Chairman Accused of Fraud by S.E.C."Mr. Saylor settled the civil charges that were filed in federal court in Washington without admitting or denying them and agreed to pay $8.3 million to shareholders and a $350,000 penalty to the S.E.C." ... It is said that "there's no such a thing as bad publicity". My thinking is that those that do not do anything rarely do anything wrong.

Las previsiones de los analistas, especialmente de los grandes bancos de inversion hay que tomarlas con cautela. Usando las expresiones propias del barrio donde yo me crie, se diria asi como "no las hagas ni puto caso tronco". En general las casas de Wall Street acostumbran a arrimar el ascua a su sardina y los analistas estan normalmente guiados adecuadamente por sus superiores. Eso se vio claro en el caso Enron donde un analista demasiado pregunton que tuvo la osadia (en mi barrio "los huevos") de hacer una recomendacion de venta fue despedido.Vamos q a esos analisis les doy la misma valoracion q a este token.

Hoy he visto que, en España, Mutua Madrileña ha tomado interés en el bitcoin a través Mutuactivos, su gestora.<…>
Mutua Madrileña sí, pero AXA (Axa Invesment Managers) no … Nota: Me cito a mi mismo para relacionar ambas posturas antagónicas. Ya me quedo yo sorprendido q cualquier aseguradora como tal tenga las narices de comprar bitcoin. En grandes cantidades creo q es simplemente imposible dado los exigentes criterios contables q se aplican en el ramo y las notables reservas exigidas. Una cuestion distinta es si los fondos de inversion gestionados por, por ejemplo, Mutua Madrilena, puedan llegar a adquirir activos que se consideren proxies del bitcoin (e.g. Microstrategy) en cuyo caso vuelvo a mi argumento principal: Haran lo q los clientes demanden y Mutua tiene un fondo de Tecnologicas.

I would like some suggestions on houses that would allow me to play crypto at the olympics. Even to bet if these are going to happen anyway ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think that Real Madrid / Atletico de Madrid are possible one of the best chances to get a winning bet. The odds are usually to RM but this year looks that there might be a good surprise.

I'm looking for undervalued coins on the market with potential to become something big in the future. <...>
As of now, the market is highly speculative and does not give much of a leeway to capture undervaluations. Having said that, there are a few projects that might hold some promise: - Polkadot and Polkadot markets. Quite a bit of development, solid cripto, no scam (IMO). - Grin. Lovely privacy an very cheap per unit. And something called Ice Rock Mining, token ROCK2 (Eth chain). Is quite obscure in general so either is purely an scam or, if the bitcoin mining is actually happening, there is a huge potential for earnings at current prices.

Good question. If it fails you would not be able to get any fiat or bitcoin back. On this matter, the so called stablecoins uses cases are basically: a) To issue them without proper controls, to manipulate bitcoin and crypto prices and buy bitcoin with monopoly money. See here Bitfinex case for that. b) Being able to trade crypto without passing through fiat money, thus having a tax advantage under some jurisdictions. c) Transfer at low fees. d) Trade them. if you ask me, just do not even touch them. There is plenty of darkness in these.
