    I believe it. I talked to a rep at Fidelity for more than 30 minutes about various options regarding the different kind of IRAs and tax stuff. Not only was the guy obviously American and really friendly, but he was smart and knew his shit. I kept expecting him to say "you'll have to ask the...

    I know this has been asked before on this thread, but what platforms are people using to buy/sell/hold their crypt these days? I'm trying to change platforms. I don't plan to do much trade- mainly buy and sell Eth. I've looked at kraken, coinbase, and crypto.com. The fee structures are all...

    I've got about 6k in Eth and I've been trying to free up more money from my stock positions to buy more Eth before it takes off to the next level. I need at least one good market week before I can do that though and the market has been absolute shit lately. Really frustrating. I'm hoping...

    Thus my "one way or the other" comment. There's several scenarios that could go down. I absolutely don't want to shit up the thread with politics, but even if the filibuster doesn't go away, it could change. For example, they are talking about making all filibusters be "standing" filibusters...

    I think it's possible they will get legalization through Congress one way or the other, yeah. Sentiment about weed has been changing rapidly on both sides of the isle- though most of the hold outs are still on the right. Put it like this- I think federal weed legalization is inevitable, it's...

    I'm no expert on Government, but I'd imagine they could get a legalization bill passed through Congress but not with a veto-proof majority. Which means that Biden would absolutely factor in to any legalization effort.

    Yep. I've made some MJ investments this year, but I'm actually growing a little bearish on weed stuff after that news. If it was up to Harris, I'm sure we'd see legalized weed pretty quickly. But from what I've read, Biden still has the 1980's view on MJ stuck in his brain. Biden is one of...

    Blockchain/crypto isn't going anywhere. Personally, I'm not selling a thing. I'll probably add to my Eth position. I have a feeling Eth is going to use this downturn as a springboard. When things turn back around, I think Eth will have narrowed the gap with BTC.

    Yeah, I mean I'd go so far as to even say that it seems significant but BTC has been puzzling me a bit recently. Despite several recent things I'd think of as catalysts it hasn't really budged. Maybe it's just slow to react. The catalysts could be preventing what may have otherwise been a...

    Don't know a ton about Tron, but your arguments for it are pretty much the same arguments people make for ADA. They aren't bad arguments, but I personally don't think either TRX or ADA are going to catch Eth for reasons both @LachiusTZ and @Flobee mentioned previously: -Market cap -Inertia...

    From what I gather, the interest for staking Eth varies, depending on how much is being staked (globally I mean). I've seen several places that will pay you 10% yearly to stake your Eth, and they pay out daily (I think). But you don't need to have 32 Eth for that- they will stake whatever...

    I'm very much not an expert, but here's what I've gathered from people who are experts as to why Eth will eventually surpass BTC in value: 1. BTC's environmental footprint limits its upside. Right now the environmental footprint issue affects ALL crypto. For example, "ArtStation, an online...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    People hesitate to buy Eth because it's around $1,800 and they think it has limited upside compared to coins that cost pennies or a dollar. But the way you have to look at it is this: there are lots of reasons to believe that Eth will surpass BTC in the near future (next couple years). BTC is...

    It seems like some smaller coins move independently from BTC, but as soon as they reach a certain size/volume they get caught in the BTC net. All major crypto coins seem tied to BTC for the foreseeable future. That said, the limitations and environmental issues surrounding BTC are very real...

    Well his recent endorsement doesn't seem to have made much of a difference anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. Trying to figure out what catalysts are going to push crypto up through the next levels. I suppose institutional investments are going to be the primary drivers.

    Why not? Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but stim checks is a completely out of the ordinary circumstance. The majority of America woke up to a bonus $1400 all at the same time, I can't think of a good reason a coordinated consumer investment wouldn't mimic an institutional move. I'm no expert...

    We are already seeing a spike in crypto investment. You can literally see the point when people woke up this morning and realized they had money in their bank account: Lots of people still waiting on that money, so I imagine we will see more over the next 2 days. Shit will probably get...

    The fact that people are getting their stim checks over the weekend actually makes it more likely they will put it into crypto than a security like GME.

    "Afford" has nothing to do it though. I stand in line all the time behind people at 7-11 buying 20 dollars in lottery tickets I'm sure they can't really afford, but they buy them anyway. I'm not sure exactly where it will go, but come Monday we will definitely see an influx of retail money...

    The market saturation is high, but the monetization of their client base is low. They may not have a lot of room to grow in terms of US market share, but they have TONS of room to grow in terms of increasing revenue from their existing customer base. Also, they aren't on any of the consoles...

    Well, I won't be laughing because I'm in it long too. Not for a ton of money but still. Definitely feel like RBLX has a ton of potential, but unfortunately when looking at the fundamentals it seems like the stock is starting out overvalued. So while I think it can go far, first it's going...

    Should dip more before any news of a settlement hits. Seems like it will be summer at the earliest before anything changes. They won't even go through arb for a while. I'm going to throw some at it too, but I'm going to wait until arb gets closer.

    Again, I'm sure Twitter owns the "tweets" made on its platform, insofar as they can be identified as assets. If they own the tweets, Twitter has a right to dispose of them as they see fit- whether by deleting them or selling them. This part is pretty straightforward. It sounds like you are...

    I'm sure there is something in Twitter's EULA that forces you to sign away rights to your tweets. They can't force you to sign away your rights to your words or your sentiments, but so long as the actual tweet itself is reliant on Twitter's platform, you probably don't own it, regardless of its...
