Stablecoins are only good to use for trading. No good to hold.
We all saw with UST, so basically stable coins are very risky business as they can also be dumped and its price flushed down. Even though many stablecoins claim to be pegged to the dollar itself, the amount locked to back the number in stablecoin can only go as much. So, in case, I do not use stablecoins and If I need to trade I'll trade my crypto for the real dollar

Bitcoin's mining difficulty is through the rough and mining it with a GPU rig would be insane. So I guess that it would be better to have a Bitcoin Node simply by the stake of supporting the network than mining Bitcoin with GPUs.

Thing is you would have to have an insane amount of GPU rigs to make some bitcoin out of it

It seems that there is in fact an ongoing Metamask Airdrop on ICODrops

Users need to enable swap function on the metamask wallet to be eligible for the Airdrop,

Can't say that the ICO is set to be started soon, as it still doesn't have any data on the upcoming ICO.

That is called LUCK! Itt seems that you had it as you ended up earning it simply by mistake which is kinda amazing. Conglatulations on that as if you wanted to earn and were doing everything you can you would probably not have won.

it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo has just signed a partnership with Binance to have his own NFT collection starting from November 18.

Binance is hitting strong the Footbal industry and already counts with several partnerships with many prominent players as well as Football clubs. This is good news for the industry as it brings a lot more visibility to cryptos.

The thing that bothers me the most is when Casinos have all sort of impositions for us to withdraw our money. I also do not like those promotions that they usually have that have thousands of requirements to meet before we can actually withdraw something.

I understand that Casinos need to protect against people who prey on promotions but they should at least make the process easier for a normal player to collect his winnings

Yeah, much like I've thought. Eth Classic and Ravencoin may not be profitable to mine right now, but I guess it is a good bet as they will certainly rise in value in the next cycle.
Guess, I'll keep it to Raven half month and the other half I'll mine Eth classic

I'm thinking of putting my GPUs to work once again but still dunno what to mine. I already dropped by What to mine and checked that Ravencoin could be a could pick. But I'm still thinking I could go with Eth classic.

Considering that there is no more ethereum to mine what are you guys now mining, or what do you guys think it would be the best to hoard and then wait for a good price upon the next bull market?

As long as there is money to be made, speculators will always be interested. Stocks will always be popular among speculators as well as Bitcoin as it is a pretty volatile asset with lots of potential for experienced investors. They will invest in Bitcoin as in other assets without even having to bother knowing the technical and philosophical assumptions behind it. As with any other asset, stocks have been more popular than they are these days, but even so, they are still quite popular. And guess what; they treat bitcoin as if it was a stock, so in a way, Bitcoin has become a new stock-like asset for speculators.

All speculators care about is profit, so if there is money to be made, they will drop in, regardless if it is popular or not. And in fact, that is how they make money, by diving into an "asset" when it is still not popular.

For sure, the future is upon us. However, how are you so sure the market is about to pump? I mean, I am also long-term bullish on cryptos and I would love to see it part from all this bloodshed that has been going on

At least it seems that we are hitting a bottom for Bitcoin, so that can be a sign that the Bear market is coming to an end. But that doesn't mean that we will see a bull market right after. Rather than that, I do believe that we may now be diving into a long accumulation period and some spikes here and then might happen.

There are two ways CZ'z story can play out. I personally do not go with your version of the story. CZ already showed, for many times, to be very transparent and always comply with everything related to regulation. So, it wouldn't be that good for him if things went bad with BNB and Binance. If you think about it, ETH and BNB became much alike right after the merge, and they are now the main industry leaders.

Regardless of what anyone can say, centralized shitcoins have helped Cryptos hit the spotlight. So, today, we may have the industry overrun by shitty Cex'es and centralized shitcoins, but they have been crucial for the development of the industry.

There's always more than one way of doing things. So, what we need to learn from this is that there will always be the centralized version, but there is also the decentralized version and people are free to go for the one they believe the most. Of course, that for those who are conscientious of what the real value of cryptocurrency and the technology is, they will keep supporting the decentralized way, so both ways will have to co-exist and pick the best from one another.

Bitcoin is going to that special price right on time for Christmas. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who is trying to get into Bitcoin. I guess that we won't be seeing this kind of price so soon. I do believe that it will not go as 10 to 12K and that is where I'm waiting to do some action and get some sale bitcoins.

If you were waiting for the perfect time to get into BTC, the time is now!

Anyone can come here and post whatever they like. But making claims like these without any kind of evidence to present is simply posting spam... Besides, this is simply a conspiracy theory with no sense whatsoever...

So do you have any proof for such claims? Can you present anything noteworthy to this matter that can prove your claims right?

This Time, I was able to hit 7 out of 10.

So, yesterday I went 50/50 but today I got 70/30 and was able to get away with some profits

I work in a renowned International Outsourcer company also operating in my country, which I will not mention due to a “Non-Disclosure Agreement” issue; this same Outsourcer recently started a survey in order to try to understand the knowledge and interest of its employees about Cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology. One of the central ideas related to this initiative will be the possibility of putting in place an incentive program and extra bonuses for its employees delivered in the form of crypto assets. The good news is that, apparently, the industry is expanding significantly, and even the corporate world is starting to wave their hand on to the cryptocurrency universe.

Have any of you, in your companies, already addressed the topic of crypto assets\cryptocurrencies?

Bem pessoal, esta semana tinha uma meeting para uma sessão sobre a utilização de Metaverse tech na empresa mas infelizmente foi adiado para dia 17. Parece que a ideia é usar um metaverse aonde um dos offices fisicos da empresa é representado virtualmente e aonde poderemos visitar os diferentes sectores. Por exemplo, além de várias secções de lazer e aonde os funcionários da empresa poderão interagir uns com os outros, os R.H. vão ter uma secção que terá horário de funcionamento e aonde qualquer funcionário da empresa poderá visitar este espaço virtualmente e resolver qualquer questão com celeridade sem ter que se deslocar fisicamente. É de facto muito útil se realmente for usado neste sentido.

Assisti ao primeiro Webinar e a primeira abordagem do grupo de trabalho foi um brainstorming que revolveu um pouco acerca das diferentes alternativas (ex. Decentraland e Sandbox, etc) que podem ser encontradas actualmente com especial enfase no funcionamento em ambiente centralizado vs descentralizado.

Entretanto foi só isto que consegui ainda extrair do que eles pretendem.  Parecem mesmo estar empenhados em introduzir o metaverso e com isso também as cryptos.

De qualquer forma eu vou dando notícias à medida que as coisas forem acontecendo.

Vitalik just gave his view on the FTX issue and makes a bold cooperation with MTGox on a Twitter post

He also made a point regarding CEX's and DEX's where we can check his discourse is blinded by the concept of centralization. He argues that "the two act as a substitute for some kind of service. He noted that while DEXs can be used for cross-crypto trading, custody, and even leverages, they are currently unable to “function as a fiat-crypto gateway."

This is basically saying that DEX's rely on centralized services to fulfil the interests of the network which is basically that there is no decentralization without a centralized aspect to have it functional...

Well, IMHO, the guy represents regulatory pressure; his mind and position are already clouded by a centralized vision of crypto networks to avoid things such as what happened with FTX. Ok, so yeah, I can actually understand that regulation can bring more security to the user, but at what cost??? and where the decentralization concept fits within this matter??? We already saw how Eth went... I see this as a dangerous discourse and total support to pave the way to get all cryptos (including BTC) under a POS rule.

Am I crazy, or is this what actually going on?

I call it a Draw!

The most likely scenario for this match will be Friburg not winning.
It is true that the home club is confident because it has its associative mass on its side, however, Union Berlin has been doing quite well, and most of the results have been positive.
It should be noted that the outsiders account for seven wins in the last ten performances. Thus, it is expected that Union Berlin will enter quite confident and end up winning, at least, a draw.

Of course, Bitcoins can exist without exchanges but there will always be the need of transacting coins and exchanges are a crucial part of that process. The thing is, that we should not rely upon centralized exchanges to do the bidding. We should only support decentralized exchanges because it takes out the equation of having the risk of your coins being stuck with the centralized exchange and therefore be possible of being captive by regulatory imposition.

We should avoid having coins in centralized exchanges and keep supporting the development of decentralized options to transact.
