General Thread here - warning, this is a rather short thread so don't get your hopes up for a really meaty argument - but to jump into the background of everything:

For those unaware, there are 3 (last I heard/checked at least) subs that have different forms of cryptocurrency you can earn by participating in their sub: r/ethereum (donuts), r/fortnight (bricks), and r/cryptocurrency (moons). You get a certain amount of moons/donuts/bricks for every post/comment that gets upvoted, and each sub has rules based on what each is worth, what the caps are, etc etc etc. These different cryptocurrencies are stored in the

I've seen a ton of comments saying regulation would be beneficial for crypto, it would prevent scams, so and so forth

Can you share your thoughts on how that would work? In what ways would crypto benefit from regulation?

Also keep in mind who would be creating the laws and regulation of crypto - do you think they would actually make regulation favorable to the average person? As opposed to say, current financial laws in the US? (I know not everyone is from the US, but I'm going to use that as an example) - why would people who have created/run/enabled a system to favor certain individuals/groups (banks, HNWI, etc) just suddenly go against the grain on this? Do you really see that happenin

Within the last few weeks, I've received messages from u/Dependent-Mall8409, u/NoLimitMikeF, and u/rachealromi - usually right after making a comment on this sub. I used to ignore scammers, but recently I've been trying something new - sending the same types of messages I would get from them if I were to respond seriously

It's a win win for me, either I scam a scammer, or I never hear from them again - but either way I have a bit of fun along the way

Anyway, here is my response

Smartlands’ near-term goal is to tokenize $1 billion in real assets. When this goal is reached, qualified SLT holders will have received a total of roughly $16.5 million, considering Smartlands applies a 5% commission to the total portfolio of assets on its platform, and qualified SLT holders receive 33% of this fee pool.

Does anyone have any info on what "qualified SLT holders" means?

Of course they are all important to consider - but I have privacy, speed, utility, fees, community, developers, history, and security all listed

I'm curious what the general sentiment is, I don't think I'd be all that surprised if there was a well balanced results with most of the options being neck and neck with each other

Also, I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the 210 character count. I never know if I have typed enough or not, so I hope you will excuse me for realllllyyyyyy dragging out not only this sentence, but this post as well

u/ithrax is arguing for regulation of crypto in a thread

I'm of the opinion there should be none

Where do you stand?*

Also, my first post got removed for not having a high enough character count, so let me ramble on about nothing until I definitely it - u/EthereumDreams seems chill af, this generally commuity seems awesome as fuck, and I absolutely can not wait until any [unpopular opinion but really popular opinion] post gets automatically downvoted to oblivion

Have I reached the character minimum? I am not sure, but I really don't want to go through the effort of having to create another post again

Have you read this far?

Edit: forgot the question

I've seen so much about NFTs lately, everything from "the biggest scam / bubble ever" to "the next best thing since sliced bread", I wanted to hop in and try it out myself. I was originally going to just try it out to see how easy/hard it is to create NFTs and get them listed in a 'store' or 'auctionhouse' or whatever, so I downloaded a collection of random images that I created online when I (digitally) doodle and put them in an album. From the time I went to look for which platform I should use (opensea is what I decided) to the time I uploaded my first album (including Eth transfer), it took about 45 minutes from start to finish

I'm definitely sold on NFTs now, they might be in a bubble

According to the inflation calculator, the price would be $347,232,743.36

BTC price at the time of writing this is $49028.38/BTC

$347,232,743.36/$49028.38 is roughly 7082.28058 BTC, which* would be the price of it

MicroStrategy was estimated to recently purchase 19,500 BTC (thanks for the correction u/Mephistoss), so they could make the Louisiana Purchase 2.75 times with just that purchase- assuming the same purchase price an initial deal, and accounting for inflation

It's weird to be walking around with dog biscuits when you don't have a dog says another user - also features wonderful hits like "he was trying to poison her dog" and "he was clearly intimidating her"

Republicans are an illness, suggests another user - which generates the type of responses you would expect

Now keep in mind this isn't the most drama filled of exchanges, nor is it super lengthy, but it is good for a few minutes of laughs
