I think it's just the start, people got a taste of what NFTs were with the first generation centered around art but now we may start to see a new generation of NFTs that are built to be productized and incorporate all sorts of features and ideas built a top the first generation, ranging from 2earn concepts, commerative and travel (Trossard) tokens to shipping tracking, authentication (LYX) and even online digital identity.

I think the decision to sell matters most on where the adoption of the tech is going. If adoption continues to rise and we can continue to see growing on chain activity then I seen no need to sell.

heat might not be as bad if you keep them in an open area, instead of in a tight closed space.

I guess one could consider it a meta-os that can exist on a variety of OS.

Would probably have to give it to 1 of the big 5 (Binance, Coinbase, Bitget, Huobi, Crypto com). Practically all the same, with differences really coming down to token variety and range of services and kyc requirements, as for those looking for one without I believe there's really only Bitget and MEXC left, used to use Bybit but I think they require it now. Also Can't forget DEX like Uniswap if you're looking for a decentralized option.

Your best is probably Uni for dex and one of the big 5 for cex (Coinbase, Binance, Bitget, Huobi, Crypto.com). All pretty good but lately my go to has been Bitget, switched over to them a couple months back when Bybit,and Coinbase started constantly nagging me for kyc (having did my Coinbase kyc on 4 separate occasions). Been pretty happy since making the switch, has practically all the same services, and more trading & yield products.

Indeed their policies have been brutally harsh toward the whole tech sector, definitely backfiring on them with any innovation being pushed elsewhere. Literally just seen the news today that even Apple and Meta will be pulling their services out from UK users (Imessage and Whatsapp) potentially. Hopefully we don't see the same with whatever crypto companies are left, really only Binance and Bitget left that I know still accept direct deposit from my banks here. Maybe crypto.com but not hundred percent sure about that one. Hopefully were moving in the right direction with the new stable coin regulations receiving Royal Assent.

In my opinion, what gives BTC it's value and utility within this context isn't necessarily the level of decentralization itself but rather the features that it's decentralization brings about. I find centralization and decentralization to be a on a spectrum, with each end providing its own set of values and utility. On one hand the BTC token distribution among users is verifiably the most widespread & decentralized among all cryptos with no small group of users holding the majority of tokens like other chains, while on the other hand some might consider the concentration of mining pools to be centralized (i don't believe so). Either way, what really matters is the features brought upon by its level of decentralization-BTC's being the most immutable and most liquid but on the other hand not necessarily the fastest. Even as you slide down the spectrum towards greater centralization with other networks like ETH, Cosmos or even others like ICP with less than 150 actual physical nodes, people are still able to find value and different utilities in it through features like speed and usability (low fees) even with it being more centralized. This even goes for services and dapps where DEXs and such might offer great customizability and freedom for power users but on the other hand centralized incumbents have the edge when it comes to usability, variety, UI and stuff like that. So overall I wouldn't judge BTC based on how decentralized it is, I think it's essential to focus on why people buy their bitcoin and what utility/value it provides for them, not if its decentralized or not, the utility and value differs for everyone. Like I said some people might call the token distribution decentralized while at the same time calling the mining pool concentration centralized, though at the end of the day it is the most immutable/secure/hardest to attack and that's what gives value to it for me.

ah good point, guess its just a matter of personal preference. Yeah thats true there is interac and wire transfer but seems like not many of the exchanges outside Canada accept it and wire transfer ive been hesitant due to the settlement times. Hows your experience been with wire, any fees? how long does it take to settle? Thanks.

Anyone know any good places that accept debit for crypto/BTC? Been searching for on-ramp options but not sure who to go with yet. Would love to hear who you all are using right now in Canada. anyone had any success purchasing with debit recently?

yeah it checks out as solid for me. recently switched to using them after pretty much every exchange imposed strict kyc requirements. have been happy since switching. solid range of tokens, wide range of products and services and practically a new event every day. just joined one of those ones you mentioned.
