Have you considered not investing? I mean we are not talking about something big here, it's just NFTs and you do not have to invest into it. You could avoid it, and invest into something else if you want to, there wouldn't be a shame in it. I personally do not invest into NFTs, and I have been doing fine thanks to my investments in more legit stuff.

The real question is, why do you want to invest into NFTs? Is it because you learned that you could get them at the mint value and then sell them quicker so you could get richer and very quickly? Maybe you have seen some instagram posts where people get NFTs for cheap and sell for 50k and that's how they get rich? Do you want to get in because of things like that? Because that's one in a million and that won't be you.

Picking any exchange would be hard, I will give you that much. Even if you are dealing with places like Binance or Coinbase, it could become a difficulty because they require KYC and they could still get hacked in a way that your KYC could be shared with the world.

It's not always the money that gets stolen, the hackers would steal anything they could find, even if it is just staff names type of simple stuff. This means that we need to be careful when picking them. This is why I have suggested my friend who got in recently to use p2p, then use DEX and when he wanted to get out, use p2p again. This is the best method for your own privacy to stay intact.

I agree that people are overreacting on the energy situation, it is not something that we should care about anymore thanks to this Russia-Ukraine war. Everyone forgets that even though oil has been a thing that destroyed the world so far, it is getting lesser and lesser important with the renewable energy world getting much bigger attention these days.

Maybe Europe can't just dig out their own oil from the ground, but they can certainly go with the wind turbines and solar panels which would help it a lot, and since they do not want to deal with Russia anymore, I am sure they will get it quicker compared to what would have been before the war.

Wow, Jesus Christ, this looks like a real thing and not a fake news. I read the title of the topic and assumed it was a fake one but turns out it is real. I didn't believe it at first because I believed that it would be known way way before, like I would have heard about it on news like how it happened with El Salvador.

I think they attacked El Salvador at first because of the legal tender deal, and it backfired on them so much that they do not even made this into news everywhere like that one so that it wouldn't get heard. This legal tender situation is becoming bigger, if we get even just one decent sized nation to do this, it is going to change the world.

If the story about uphold being the one that moved these, then I do not see this as a problem, it is just exchange moving their funds and that is expected. However, if this is something else, if there is a difference to it, then I would have to say that this could have been an issue for people as well. That shiba whale was a scary situation because it's shiba and it's volatile and it is pure hype filled memecoin and nothing else.

XRP is a bit different since it is "used" for something, still a shitty centralized currency that I hate, but I have to give them where their credit is due and say they are at least more serious than shiba, everything is more serious than shiba to be fair.

Newcastle can't be that good for "now", however they have already spent like 100+ million on this team in the second part of the season after the takeover happened. I mean they were clearly in the relegation zone and they have been getting better and better results and took them higher. I am not saying that they can't beat Liverpool, in football I could believe even Norwich beating Liverpool, it's football.

Something like that happened I believe recently, Watford beat Liverpool as the first team to beat them one season, that must have been the season where pandemic made them give a break, 2 seasons ago or so if I am not wrong. Imagine a world where the team that relegated was the first team to beat Liverpool who went unbeaten for 30 games or so until then. But Newcastle would be shocked about beating Liverpool as well.

There isn't really a "reason" needed for things like litecoin after a while. The "team" is not a team, it is a foundation that proposes some stuff time to time but they do not even have to. The reality is that we do not get new stuff from satoshi, which means bitcoin is not getting constantly marketed by a team, nor does it offer a guaranteed high development by a team neither.

Litecoin doesn't need that too, it is a crypto that was created in 2011, that is all you need and it is decentralized like crazy, and the "team" is just a few litecoin lovers who code some stuff once every 2-3 years and asks "do you guys want to use this?" and you either say yes or no. That is the real value there.

The "buy btc, that's all" is a great advice, if you are not sure about what you want to buy or what you should buy then buying BTC is definitely you should focus on. However, if we are talking about something that is profitable for many but you still feel like you are scared about it and do not want to get in, then maybe it could be beneficial for you to find others who are hyped about it and ask them.

If they can explain to you why they are so hyped about it, then you could probably get into it as well, they could convince you. The "reason" why they are hyped, could cause you to get hyped if it is a logical reason. If not, just keep it in BTC that's it.

Can you blame them though? I mean they were up 3-0 in the series and now they are up 3-1, that's good enough that they could take an active break during the game and not really push themselves.

If they won that would have been even sweater because they could have taken a long break until the second round starts, but at the same time we are talking about not tiring yourself out too much, these are playoffs and you need to stay fresh as well and taking a too long of a break compare to another team who could be on fire at that moment coming from a win could result with something worse. Hence, I believe 4-1 is a great result if they can make that happen, even 4-2 would be fine.

I am ready as well but the world is not. I could literally leave every single bank and just live purely full-time in crypto if I could. But all the places I go to works with banks and doesn't accept bitcoin. The good thing is, the amount of places that accept bitcoin keeps on rising every single day.

Digitally, in the online world we have a lot more places that accept bitcoin, all we need right now is the fact that we could get a good return on governmental places, like how El Salvador made it legal tender, or how Ukraine embraces it right now. If we can get that for many more nations, then we are going to have bitcoin accepted in more places and we may end up with full time crypto living.

Justin Sun needs to take the hint. People do not like him, I mean not hate him, but not like him, and nobody really cares about projects that he does. This dude had smart contracts and cheap transactions locked down years and years ago, and nobody cared, things like ADA, SOL, AVAX and the likes are barely getting there, and they somehow managed to get super high.

So, other projects who are not even at a level where Tron was years ago, ended up being higher than Tron way before they reached those levels. There must be a reason for that, if that didn't work, I do not see how his own stablecoin version would end up getting more attention somehow.

Social democracy, democratic socialism, socialism, communism. These are all different variants of "left" that many nations like USA couldn't really comprehend. Like for example public libraries that you do not pay for and just go and read and only pay if you take something out and can't bring it back on time, that is a system where the state pays for it, or the firemen that comes to your house and put out the fire, or the cops. These are all paid by the government. In another case, in many major nations, hospitals are just like police and firemen, doctors are paid by the government.

If you think cops should be paid by the government with your taxes but doctors shouldn't be, you do not really understand socialism. France doesn't just give equal pay to everyone and distribute food or something like that, it is not a communist nation, but it does have healthcare to begin with, and plenty other leftists stuff, and yet seen as not so leftist for Europe, since there are even far lefter nations.

I get that bitcointalk is a high rank place with a DA that will get you good SEO return and that is why linking your website here is a great method of SEO for sure. However at least put it like it wasn't some marketing effort. Give people something they would want to read, give people a whole article, give people some sort of "how to" and then you could do well.

I do not get all these people who think that they could write a line or two and then get away with it, makes no sense to me. I mean even signature campaign spammers look like they are angels compared to these type of SEO grinders, at the very least they make it look like they are helping out the forum, not some website.

If donations start, then we could start with sending money but we could also start sending stuff as well. Like food and other stuff. That would probably result with something decent and we would definitely end up with a proper rebuilding process. I am not saying that it will be perfect, but it would certainly be something at least. I said the same thing when Venezuela first got terrible, if the world wanted to, we could definitely help them.

There is enough money in the world to help each nation in terrible condition, the downside is that people with billions may end up with less billions, I am sorry but cry me a river, it wouldn't be a big deal at all.

The "very possible" of it reaching to 20 dollars depends on the market. So, if we believe that bitcoin could be 100k+ this year, then we could see matic be 20+ dollars this year as well, if we believe that bitcoin will be under 68k ATH price, there is no way that matic could see 20 bucks at all. If anyone thinks that the price of matic could go to 20 bucks without a huge hype (just like it happened in 2021) in the crypto market, they are wrong.

Just because you have matic and invested into it, doesn't mean that you should have unrealistic approach to it, you need to expect realistic stuff. Like being $3 is quite realistic and could happen, that is almost 2x and should be making you happy.

What we are doing right now is not just building a wall to prevent going down, but also getting more ammo to attack the higher levels as well. Last time we tried, we hit 48k and that was a great period, however we ran out of ammo and couldn't buy more, in order to make it higher. This time around we are making profit at lower levels first so that we would have enough to eat that up at higher levels and try greater.

If we can achieve that then we all would make a profit, if our ammo is enough to break over 48k and reach to 50k+ levels then it would be great, if we fail then we made enough profit at closer to 40k so we could just feel fine about it anyway.

This is true, there is no denying that but at the same time we are talking about things that could move according to the data given as well. This means that we need to learn to control our feelings and just focus on what the data tells us. Doesn't mean we will profit each time, doesn't mean that data will be right each time, but this still proves to us that we can't really be making any leeway based on our gut feeling or just patience.

If we say "god knows what will happen?" and just leave it at that, then how do we decide when to buy? We need to find some way to calculate it, it needs to be based on something otherwise it is just random purchases.

I get the Mbappe transfer, it is something expected and he would get there for free if he comes there, and I get the Rudiger as well because their defense needed help and that is understandable. However, I do not get the Tchouameni transfer, not like they had any problems in midfield, why would they make that?

Maybe it's because the ones they have right now is getting older? That could be the only reason I could think of, like get the next generation good midfields to the team type of situation. Obviously, no matter who and why, if they believe that they are going to get better then I am all for it. Even just Mbappe is a serious addition all by itself.

I am not really that much interested in Terra and never really researched it very well. I know SOL and I have been invested and then divested in it, I can tell you that I loved it when I first found out about it and got into it heavily and then I quit because I realized they are centralized heavily and even can stop the blockchain which is a very very scary thing, which is why I believe that we should stay away from it, or at least I do.

But, I haven't done the same level of research on Terra, would you mind telling me what drew you to Terra? Like what did you find about it during your research that made you interested in it, and made you buy/invest into it?

Depends on the type of business you will start. If you are starting a shop then it does matter where you will start because you want to sell products to people and you want a lot of people to see you.

However, if you end up with a business that is manufacturing then it wouldn't matter since people expect you to send them by trucks or whatever, or if you start a digital business that runs online then you wouldn't need any place at all, maybe an office when you grow big but that's just a later stage when you have money anyway. Hence, there isn't really one true answer when you are in business, there are situations and you act according to whatever you need at that moment.
