Gala games are looking good but if you want to get in on the ground floor I think Vibe, ATRI, and DRC are better metaverse plays.

Community is super important. I bought a token a couple years ago, 0xBTC, and joined their discord. Their admin and devs actually admit to worshiping satan and sabotaging other projects. I dumped my tokens when I read that. I think scam projects like that will naturally die out on their own though, so there is no need to report them. I've moved on now and I'm in the Alchemix and 0xMonero communities, both are much nicer and feel like home. It's sad but there are a lot of scammers out there so watch out for which groups you join.

I'm not sure what you are talking about in regards to a doge coin mining farm staking but NEAR, MATIC, and ICP have high returns for staking. I think ICP has up to 40% if you are willing to lock up your coins for 8 years.

L1's are going to be hot this year. I'm especially bullish on MATIC, Fantom, ICP, NEAR, Celo, IOTA Shimmer, and Flare.

Don't try and time the market, time in the market matters most. The best way to profit during a downturn is to stake cryptos like Celo, ICP, and NEAR. That's it.

No, I wouldn't buy any of those? Did you pick these at random or what? I suggest the following if you want to maximise your profit during this bull run:
ATRI, UTNP, 0xMR, ICP, Sologenic

Yikes, sorry but you should base your investments on fundamentals, not how many 00000 it has in the total supply. You can definitely make a lot of money investing in double-digit cryptos like $LINK, $ICP, and $BOO. The number doesn't determine how high it can go, it's only one variable; you must consider the circulating and maximum supply of the project too.

Sorry but I'm more bullish on $ICP than I am on $ADA. The internet computer blows Cardano away tech wise and the chain has a lot more utility. Since websites can be built on the internet computer, I think it could see more real world adoption than any other WEB3 chain.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here. Are you saying that POS isn't secure? POS can be just as secure as POW blockchains, even more so since there are no 51% attacks based on hashpower rented from places like nicehash. The added benefit of POS for retail investors is that they don't have to buy expensive computer hardware from china and mine with expensive electricity. Anybody can stake $Celo, $ICP, or $NEAR.

I really learned this lesson the hard way so I hope you are paying attention to what I tell you now. Yes, it's true that the right microcap project like metaverse startups and games can easily do a 100x but what people don't tell you is that 99% of them fail or were just vaporware scams from the start. Your best bet is to invest in the L1 blockchains that they are built on and then stake those coins to increase your returns. You can still get amazing returns from groundbreaking projects like $BNB, $ICP, and $FTM.

Right now I am only aware of the internet computer and Arweave. Are there others? I think ICP has everything a web developer needs to host a website, does anything else compare?

I'm willing to bet that most of these metaverse projects are going to turn out to be scams. I'm investing in the blockchains that will power the metaverse, like Fantom and NEAR protocol and a few choice tokens on each platform, like BOO and REF. There is an upcoming metaverse project on Octopus Network (appchains on NEAR) that I'm looking into investing in when it lists on Skyward Finance.

Here's a tip that will keep you safe from scams, only invest in minable tokens that didn't hold and ICO, like RVN, 0xMR, Bitcoin and a few others.

You can't get rid of scams but you can avoid them by only investing in mineable token projects that didn't hold an ICO, like Bitcoin, RVN, and 0xMR.

Frankly, I don't watch the charts any more because I am yield farming on Ref Finance. I make money whether Bitcoin goes up or down. I don't look at the charts anymore and I farm my rewards weekly. I don't work anymore and I don't have any stress. My only worry is smart contract risk but the Ref team has done a pretty good job of managing their platform.

ETH 2.0 will help reduce gas fees in Q1 or Q2 next year but even then, Ethereum will still require sidechains like Aurora and L2s like zkSync. I'm pretty much done with Ethereum now though. I do most of my farming on NEAR protocol's Ref Finance and on Aurora's Trisolaris. Aurora has ZERO gas fees! LOL

I only trust IDOs on Skyward finance and I pretty much only trade now on Ref Finance on NEAR protocol. I still have some funds on Polygon though and I'm curious, which is the best IDO launchpad on that chain?

I prefer to farm on decentralized exchanges like Ref Finance and Spookyswap. The returns are higher on DeFi and nobody can freeze your funds and ask you to prove your address or the name of your former employer's dog to get your funds out.
