i understand the skepticism but i don't see how its in any way similar to an mlm? i went to mlm meetings when i was like 20 so i know all about that lol.
there's nobody recruiting anyone here. if i mentioned that i would offer advice to ppl wanting to learn about nfts, they are not going under my wing in any way, there is no such structure. i don't stand to benefit in any way from anything i've mentioned in this thread.
it's interesting, we are talking about it, that's all.

Anyone buying full PC's to mine with? Bought a computer in the summer with a 3070 and 3.5 tb of ssd for 2k. Now I am looking at a computer with a AMD 3700x 240mm rad 1 TB NVME and a 5700xt for $1700. It should be fully paid for in less than a year mining and should still be worth $1000 in a year or 2.

Buddy told me vxv is getting pump and dumped right now, the cointag sounded familiar, checked my old uniswap that i used as garbage coin wallet,
50$ in vxv at 12c is now 4.5k lol
Cant say the same for the other 9 coins i have in there, all worthless (minus 500$)
Time to buy more garbage coins, and wait another 2 years

Also this whole NFT/Shitcoin pump and dump thing is pretty much what scalpers do, just a variation more scummy version of it and slightly less aware victims  | |

^ You think so?
Crypto is ripping off moms and dads who want to take their kids to stuff? Or anyone who just wants to enjoy a concert?
Crypto ain’t a casual user affair. Any individual who takes the time to figure out how to buy this shit knows exactly what they’re getting into.

Scalpers suck too, don't get me wrong. But moving to signed tickets isn't going to stop them, because there's no real incentive to do that except for very niche cases.

Finally sold my ADA swing position for a 28% ROI.
I should have sold when ADA was over $3... I got greedy.
Onto the next position.
BTW. This is just a reminder to all the newer crypto guys out there. Everyone seems to know what they're talking about when the market is going up, so take everything you hear with a grain of salt. Try to keep the emotions at the door, and yes, I know that is easier said than done.

tbh i don't really swing trade any of these coins or tokens. to anyone that really want to get into crypto, i suggest you just actually using the blockchains and products you invest in to build your conviction. you should understand what it is your investing in
that's why i always laugh at people that put money into ada ... but hey, maybe they will actually meme themselves into existence with the latest smart contract update

ada n sol have long been touted as must buys, but there was never anything going for them other than hype, and ud see moments of fomo where cash is injected to it, but the valuation would quickly correct itself back to yawn status
Even with sol, it looks more like a wsb type pump for no real reason... not as bad as a doge pump tho

everyone knows that he was also a "co-founder" of ethereum but if you want more of the backstory of his exit you can read "The Infinite Machine" to learn more. Great book regardless of the charles part
they ARE saying they are about to ship the smart contract update i think today or tomorrow, but i just don't know of any developers that are actually excited to build on cardano. it remains to be seen if it can meme itself into an actual useful chain Quote:

SOL hits the sweet spot for decentralization + usability enough that i believe it has the best chance out of the whole ecosystem that can actually onboard millions of new users and actually service them in a way they expect from current web browsing habits
ftx also already have steph curry and brady on board as shareholders so that's really going to drive mass adoption as well
star atlas is also getting built out ... again, highly risky whether they can actually deliver, but if they can leverage unreal engine 5 and deliver a real game then it's gonna be huge. ftx also has naming rights with TSM so that's how they're going to market SA
get some sol, and dive in. you guys won't believe some of the incentives/airdrops that are happening. there are a lot of trading, yield aggregating, nft trading primitives that are getting built out that will literally reward you for just participating https://twitter.com/DegenApeAcademy
these degen apes were minting for 6 SOL, now the min floor price on market is ~70 SOL. One guy minted a mystic ape that sold for 5980 SOL
SOL was around 40 dollars during the mint, meaning he spent 240 dollars to mint the ape
he sold it for close to a million dollars based on today's SOL price

What if you actually believe in their mission of helping those in need?
Their goal isn't to make people rich, their goal is to bring a sustainable framework to those who don't have it.
Give residents of developing countries a chance at the rat race.
Cardano and Charles never pumped anything, they have a clear mission they're trying to execute on. They already have projects that have helped entire communities, which other cyrpto is doing that?
edit;
Just read your above reply.
In regards to the network itself, I agree, it's been long, drawn out, and slow. But, that's just how it goes sometimes. I get that it's frustrating, but their smart contracts are finally here, so isn't that a step in the right direction.
Also, I come into contact with a lot of software engineers and I always ask them what makes devs develop on certain platforms and they all say the same thing. If there is opportunity, they will develop. They don't care about the language, they will learn it if they think there is opportunity.
One of them said look at iOS when it first came out and the iPhone. Developing of iOS was an incredibly horrendous experience in the beginning, but they did it because the opportunity was there.
If Cardano becomes what it has the potential to be, devs will come whether they want to or not.
