Stan Lee's twitter account is being used to advertise NFTs , this is utter disrespect. Posted: 15 Dec 2021 07:54 PM PST So apparently Stan Lee released NFT collection from the dead. Stan Lee's twitter account has a tweet about an NFT collection. This was the tweet from Stan Lee's twitter account From championing diversity to embracing new tech, Stan was 1 step ahead of the curve. To honor his innovative spirit, Stan's 1st Indian hero, Chakra The Invincible, debuts in his own NFT (digital art) collection from 7:30pm PT 12/27-12pm PT 12/29! The website is even worse Honoring what would have been Stan Lee's 99th birthday on December 28th, we are inviting all of Stan's fans to celebrate his amazing legacy with us by sharing ownership How is making money off him Honoring his legacy? I hate to see Stan Lee being used to shill something. I mean the person is dead , they just can't let the man rest in peace. Stan Lee was my idol when I was younger and seeing this company take advantage of his name and creations is heartbreaking. [link] [comments] | ||

Advice from a personal banker that has been in the banking industry for 35 years Posted: 15 Dec 2021 06:34 PM PST So my mother-in-law who has been with multiple banks but overall has been in the industry for about 35 years had dinner with us Sunday night. She told us how a women had came into the bank to deposit a very large amount of money from a inheritance she had just received. They began to talk and she explained she will be taking 100% of it and putting it into Bitcoin and other cryptos. Her being the client my mother-in-law could not give her opinion but instead only recommended she speak to a financial advisor and was immediately shut down saying she had already made up her mind. After my mother-in-law told us this story she began to tell us how stupid this woman was and how unsafe crypto was and that it because you were not getting a physical representation of the value that it was worthless and because it was money not in a bank how it could be stolen easily by anyone that wanted to. She then told us how disappointed whoever left her the inheritance would be if they knew she would be"throwing away the money like that". The whole time my wife just keeps patting my lap giving me the signal to just listen and not say anything. After the whole story all I said was "that's cool" and changed the subject. My wife was very proud that i didn't turn it into a debate. So anyways today she told my wife and I that she had been on the phone for a few hours because someone got into her bank account and took out a few thousand dollars and she was trying to get it sorted out. I looked her straight in the eyes and said "and here I thought that money was only safe if it was in the bank." [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 15 Dec 2021 01:40 PM PST It's honestly outrageous that the top bankers, billionaires and government officials have been recently ramping up their rhetoric against Crypto for absolutely no reason. I mean for fuck sake, central banks are going as far as to blame Crypto for a global financial crash that hasn't even happened yet. Earlier today, Elizabeth Warren said
She wants to "clamp down" on Crypto for giving the average citizen the slightest amount of privacy while completely ignoring the fact that banks have been printing trillions of dollars out of thin air to give to billionaires as bailouts because of the bills SHE SIGNED. Not even a fifth of the US stimulus packages actually went to working people and families. They know they've fucked up the economy and people are already switching to better alternatives. No one wants to sit and watch while their money is being eroded because the banks' cant stop giving billionaires bailouts. DeFi isn't the one that poses a risk to consumers or the economy and DeFi didn't bring 60% of the current dollars in circulation out of thin air. This is honestly infuriating how low politicians and bankers can sink these days trying to scapegoat Crypto for their own failures. [link] [comments] | ||

IBM patent cited Bismuth blockchain developer’s publication Posted: 16 Dec 2021 02:36 AM PST The core Bismuth (BIS) Blockchain Layer-1 developers Prof. Geir Hovland and Jan Kucera released the academic and research paper "Nonlinear Feedback Control and Stability Analysis of a Proof-of-Work Blockchain" in 2017. This paper talks about a novel feedback controller and stability analysis of a blockchain implementation where the controller output equals the difficulty adjustment in the mining process while the feedback variable is the average block time over a certain time period. The computational power (hash rate) of the miners is considered a disturbance in the model. The developed controller is tested against a simulation model with constant disturbance, step and ramp responses as well as with a high-frequency sinusoidal disturbance. Stability and a fast response is demonstrated in all these cases with a controller which adjusts it's output at every new block. Finally the performance of the controller is implemented and demonstrated on a testnet with a constant hash rate as well as on the mainnet of a public open source blockchain project. Recently IBM cited this paper "Nonlinear Feedback Control and Stability Analysis of a Proof-of-Work Blockchain" in Patent No .: US 10,880,073 B2 [link] [comments] | ||
How reddit going public, will affect (existing and future) community tokens Posted: 16 Dec 2021 12:40 AM PST This morning (16-12 CET) Reddit confidentially submitted a draft registration to go public. Community Tokens: Community tokens, at the heart of it, are created as a means to gain access to a community. They're a type of cryptocurrency specifically designed to open the door to a particular digital group. You can think of them like membership cards, but based on the blockchain. What the token can do, and what sort of access it offers, fully depends on the project behind it. Each social token represents a community and each community has a different value offer. So for example Bricks on the Fortnite subreddit or ours. Reddit going public:
This will result in a lot more active members of subreddits. Now Reddit has already pointed out that it will embrace other subreddits who want to make their own community token so more subreddits will get their own community token and at the same time grow their community with new people joining in as a result of the promoting done with the funds of the IPO. With this the first contribution to the community tokens will be made: The Supply and demand basic model. By growing the number of users and only having a set number of tokens will increase the demand. This will result in a growth of the price of these tokens. Further more, if more people start earning these community tokens, people who don't use reddit but are into crypto will start looking into these coins as well. Now here is the part where I start speculating so don't quote me on this, but: TL;DR / conclusion: Interested how you guys see this. [link] [comments] | ||

One big lesson I've learned about crypto and cost me a lot of money to learn Posted: 16 Dec 2021 01:27 AM PST In 99% of the cases, if there's a "major announcement" about a coin coming, this will probably do nothing for the price or, in some cases will even make it go lower. Unfortunately, "buy the rumor sell the news" is how it usually works. Personally, it took me a few disappointments to stop expecting anything from announcements. I think the most painful one was the Cardano smart contracts. Everything about the announcement seemed legit: It's not a shitcoin, Smart contracts are a thing and there was a lot of hype. And as soon as it went live, the price tanked. Lesson learned? Nope. Next was me just being stupid and believing the rumor where someone found SHIB in Tesla's source code and spread the rumor about them adding SHIB as a payment option. Nope. Really though, that was my stupidity. The third time was Matic. I do believe in the coin and think it's great, but I once again bought close to the announcement (at the ZK roll ups summit) Clearly, it tanked. Anyway, don't believe in rumors and hype, just stick to your usual crypto plan. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 16 Dec 2021 04:10 AM PST I see so many people here beating themselves up taking profits too early and it just pisses me off! Investing is supposed to improve the quality of your life, of your family's life and put you all in a better position overall. ''I want to be a millionaire and never work again'' is a nice dream to have, but it's going to take like 15 years of not taking any profits for the majority of us here. What's the point of early retirement in 15 years if you never took your family to a ski vacation or never gift your son that shiny bike for this birthday, because you spent the profits on buying the dip? We are all greedy and that's what pushes us forward, but you have to get your priorities straight. [link] [comments] | ||

US is currently in 29 Trillion Dollar Debt! Crypto is your rescue boat! Get on it quickly! Posted: 15 Dec 2021 08:23 PM PST United states of America is currently in 29 Trillion Dollar Debt. And the congress passed a legislation which will help them borrow even more. So till 2023, debt will be 31 trillion dollars. Governments will continue to take bad decisions and this boat is sinking! Get yourself in the rescue boat of Crypto when there is time. Ofcourse there always will be time. But its always better to be early and get good seats. When they wont be able to repay this debt, they will print more money. Which they have been doing for a long time now. It might be hard for some people to accept this fact now. But Cryptocurrencies will eventually replace our usual currency. It might take 10-15 years, But crypto is the future. Even though crypto is offering a lot more in technology, though that wont attract more people to Crypto. There will be higher Crypto adoption only because how reckless these government systems are, and the way they are making these holes in their boat, and that is the reason why its sinking. Not an financial advice, but a life advice. Get in early, pick a nice seat. Use stablecoins more your savings. And trade only what you can afford to lose. Have a good day people.

Posted: 15 Dec 2021 09:06 AM PST As most of us know, all but some of these are just scams with extra steps to pump their own shitty bags then dump on newcomers and/or idiots on YouTube. How crypto online is ever taken seriously when you can't tell the difference between a crypto news article on YouTube to some 12 year old kids Fortnite upload when both thumbnails look exactly the same. With emoji, stupid fonts, shocked cum faces... Anyway, I was looking up for some credible analysis channels on any platforms and couldn't find many, other than Crypto Dad (pretty basic though) and chain specific c suite people on Twitter. I'm not looking for coin shillers or moonshot bullshitting TA 'analyst' more news and educational speculation. Any recommendations? Edit: you can save yourself from replying with DYOR etc, I'm bored over the holidays and want stuff to listen/watch. I won't be taking any advice as gospel. I am not a retard. [link] [comments] | ||
Whoever still invests based off of "YouTube crypto influencers" probably deserves being scammed. Posted: 16 Dec 2021 12:25 AM PST I mean they have it coming for them. who still uses YouTube for reliable crypto news? It's literally a bunch of sellout channels ready to shill any coin. There are much better sources, and in fact there are much better streaming platforms that are crypto compatible like Theta or Xfinite. I tried Xfinite's Mzaalo and it's actually better than YouTube in ever way, has better content and above all is crypto compatible which made all the difference for me. Stop using YouTube for crypto investment advice or you'll definitely end up scammed or rug pulled on. [link] [comments] | ||
Are NFTs useful or are they just an outlet for money laundering? Posted: 15 Dec 2021 01:48 PM PST I have several friends who are into crypto and we've been discussing the current hype for NFTs. NFTs have gained so much popularity recently that we see NFTs being sold at crazy prices. Half of us see the value in NFTs and half of us think it's a joke. In my opinion I think the market for NFT right now is way too saturated and there are too many scams going on. But so is cryptocurrency as a whole too so I'm not sure. I saw this article titled "NFTs: Fraudsters Are Preying But The Industry Is Fighting Back" stating that big innovators are making a move on securing the NFT space. I wish the best for the NFT market but I'm still so skeptical. A few of my friends are buying NFTs and I'm scared I might be missing out. [link] [comments] | ||
