    I see this as the hurdle for ANY NFT based game. If all loot/gear/character acquisition costs an ETH gas fee then until those are reasonable (and I mean reasonable as in probably sub $2 USD) it won't be able to get a crowd of real consistent gamers. You'll get some people who might play the...

    OK, the hubbub earlier involving $ADA had to do with what's called UTXO and eUTXO. Apparently there are aspects of this which could limits Cardano, but are solvable. SandaeSwap wrote a decent article on it. Although they also didn't disclose what solution they're implementing to get around it.

    Yeah, I think this swing up in MATIC is probably related to ETH. MATIC got a bit suppressed around the EIP-1559 timeframe, I think because people thought it was going to cause greatly reduced gas fees, which would have undercut the primary value prop of MATIC. People are now realizing that...

    Not I. Mine is also mostly tied up in LP and Vaults right now... Doing pretty OK for myself. I am wondering what changed this morning to cause the very beefy spike in volume during this drive up on it. I haven't seen any announcements or huge new project drops on Polygon lately..... On...

    Looking at it, it seems like for one ETH led the rally and BTC followed. Not sure if that's a portent for the future or not yet. Right now I'm watching for the "Check Mark" confirmation of it going up a little, retesting 50, and 50k being resistance. If that happens then the good times...

    That system isn't rigged. That system is simply rewarding a family that has, over the course of generations, managed to save, invest, and grow a family fortune to take care of the future generations. It's not the world's fault if your family didn't do the same. It's not fair, but life isn't...

    I agree with you on NFT's being more integrated. Also my standing theory is that the true value of NFTs will be when NFTs move beyond just a store of value or "art" and are representations of limited virtual items, and those items have a purpose. For instance, your membership at the Gym might...

    Another thing I think might be suppressing DeFi as a space right now is that there's a new "coolest thing to do" around which is sucking all the liquidity up. That being the current NFT craze. If you look at the volume that just OpenSea has done over the last month they've had around $1...

    I believe he's applying a false causality to things here. Here's why... BTC skyrocketed earlier this year. ETH followed... and everything altcoin (including Defi) were wake surfing behind ETH. BTC hard corrected, I remember being glad I also had ETH. Then IT hard corrected behind it...

    Yeah, I covered a little of it in a post a ways back. Right now you're seeing a fad/fomo market run play out. In the long run as NFTs get associated with real world items, or digital subscriptions, or digital access to things.. Then you'll see the "real" use for NFTs. If you saw Ready...

    You can go on TXstreet and it graphically represents where the bulk of ETH transactions are coming from and yesterday I watched as in the evening it was something like 80% from Opensea...

    I leave the prepper work to @Mrs. Haus , although that is a point. If both stock and crypto markets correct hard that would mean even with inflation the dollar would be the "least of three evils", short of us going true old school German levels of hyperinflation. But if that happens it would...

    I guess another question here would be how you define this "safe savings" as an amount.
