Just read a blurb on Medium that the Metamask token is confirmed. Airdrop coming?????
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very interesting. It would be smart for them to tokenize.
What chain are they starting on? I will presume it will be ERC-20.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i can't believe this deal is going through. I was of the belief that they would resist. Anyways, let's see how things go with Twitter.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I havent followed it close enough to form an opinion one way or another. However, it is a lot of money to turn down.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
same here but i got the gist from the All-in podcast. I thought the left was going to oppose the move, considering Elon is pro-free speech. I thought they would have opened shop and sold to another individual or group with interest in the company. anyways, I am eager to see what Elon would do with the platform
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not too many people can put their hands on $40 billion. Elon probably has to put up some Tesla stock as collateral, which is more sound than Twitter stock most likely.
We will see what changes he makes and how quickly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
that would be nice. I have been using metamask for a while now--who doesn't tho? I am guessing the rules or qualifications for the airdrop might be high, so not a lot of people will get it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Interesting
If they do an airdrop, I wonder what is it going to be based on...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I remember reading something about that back when this 'rumor' first started circulating. Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall it would be based on length of user time and volume of trades.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just a public service announcement for anyone looking to scoop up some cheap LEO off Hive-Engine.
The cheapest way to deposit HIVE into Hive-Engine is the CTP app called HivePay SWAP.
Fees are 0.2% compared to the Leo DEX's 0.25%.
Every little bit counts ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And yikes, that LEO is cheapppppp:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Also very very cheap!
Just a little more expensive than free
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it is.
Hope I can get my hands on a few when HE is back on track.
Cheap leos are one of those opportunities people fail to see.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
What do you mean when HE is back on track?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Idk if it's only on my end but transactions are not going through on Hive Engine Atm.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
It seems HE has had some issues recently... Not sure if that is still the case
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Update: it looks normal for me now... I did a few transactions and no issues at all
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Somebody saw a lot of them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A whole lot
Lol...Hope I can crush numbers like that in the future
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Are you a buyer?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
heard someone sold 52k leo for 1 hive. How true is that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, someone got a shitload of LEO for a price as low as 0.0000175 HIVE:
Obviously a fat finger sell (maybe?).
But there's no going back now.
Have you got your lowball bids in the market?
If you're going to win the lottery, you've gotta buy a ticket!
;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True that. I will certainly get some today. I have some liquidity. Leo is really really cheap
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Ooooohh Nice. Thanks a ton Dane. :')
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a great service indeed and omg time to buy some LEO!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I use Hivepay whenever I can. Low liquidity but if making small transactions definitely worth it.
A great app, easy to use and never an issue other than with the liquidity.
Plus stand up guys behind it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So today I start my 100days of code to finish up a course I started 2years ago. Revitalising my dream of becoming a developer. Hopeful I meet my goal this here and possibly get a junior Dev job as well.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Good luck man
Are you focusing on a particular language?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
javascript for now. I will be proficient in that before jumping into other things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So you are going to create the killer DApp for us?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol hopefully. That would be great. I have to be committed to this dream first before I can start dreaming of creating a killer dapp. Nevertheless, it is one of my motivations
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Well it is always good to have another developer on Hive. We need it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Kick ass so you can create something amazing. With the HAF you will be able to set up the next breakthrough platform tied to Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is one of my goals. I would like to create things too. I don't want to be a consumer all my life. I am inspired by the likes of khal. This is more than just money for me and I hope to grow to a level where I don't have to worry about basic things so I can focus on more important things like development
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Well being involved with Leofinance and Hive is a good starting point. Even has a creator.
Hell today I probably gave you 10 upvotes. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Will we hit 10K comments this week?
That has to be the minimum goal that we strive for.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the momentum is done a little. K was busy with my programming course all morning. I will try to put in the work for another hour or two before I return to my course
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
It all helps. There is a lot to be said for being committed to engagement.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe we can achieve this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It should be the baseline in my opinion. It is easily doable if many people participate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would love for more people to participate, and the more people we have, the stronger we will be.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I feel the motivation is lacking because people havent taken the ownership mindset. This is due to conditioning by society. Few take personal responsibility.
For that reason, it is up to us to pave the way. If people claim that 200 comments cant be done, we need dozens making more than that to remove the excuse.
People will give excuses while blaming everything else but themselves. If it is important enough, it can be done.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In fact, this is about seeing opportunities and being self-confident.
Maybe if someone had asked me 3 weeks ago, I would have said it was very difficult. Now, when I dive deeper, I can see that it is both easy and its contribution to me is incredible. I think that many of them need to realize this and we should show it to them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The irony is the more engagement taking place, the easier it is for others to join in and engage.
This also creates a situation where more can be rewarded, seeing their wallets fill up.
Finally, it helps the entire platform which, in the long run, can kick off a greater network effect.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, it's possible. I will probably be kind of busy this week and I'll do what I can.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We did it before in the past.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, let's do this.
Now we're 1 comment closer to that goal
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Your massive effort is appreciated. Did you have to rest after posting that one?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes! It was very energy-consuming... I may need the rest of the day 😂
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay. You rest up. I will cover for you.
How many comments do you usually make a day? This way I know how many to add to my quota for the day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Elon Musk feels there are two ways to make DOGE useful.
He feels it could be:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the best utility for DOGE is selling it for HIVE :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Or for HBD
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Also good!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Tipping with DOGE is not new.
I have no idea what blue subscriptions are, so I won't say anything about them yet.
Another obvious use was left out: fundraising. From its earliest days Dogecoin was used for fundraising, all the way back to the hack which nearly killed it just weeks after it was launched. Shortly after that hack the platform moved from PoW to Auxiliary PoW (better known as "merged-mining"), and since then it's been a more secure network than Ethereum or even the actual Bitcoin network.
Besides merchants simply deciding to accept DOGE for payment, I wonder how easy it would be for independent merchants to accept DOGE when people buy goods and services? It should be a no-brainer for coffee shops and other mom-and-pop restaurants or stores to accept it. I ask because any place which accepts DOGE should also be ready to accept HIVE or HIVE-Backed Dollars (HBD).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Commerce is going to be a crucial aspect.
It is going to have to be one of the main use cases for HBD. That is why it is being pushed so much. Long before the coffee shops, we need to get the applications on Hive accepting it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am wondering whether or not Elon is trading those pump and dumps on DOGE. Either way, it's at least some use case.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If he is, he can expect the SEC to come calling again.
You know they keep an eye on everything he does.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
tipping has never worked. People have tried it several times, but it never does. I do not know why he is so pressed about DODGE. It is a shitcoin, he is trying too hard to change that narrative
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but develop a few use cases and suddenly it isnt a shitcoin.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It seems it is a done deal. Elon has acquired Twitter:
~~~ embed:1518664935060000769?s=20&t=q3b2XYn1KdlHJ1ncfb3Dug twitter metadata:TW9ybmluZ0JyZXd8fGh0dHBzOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vTW9ybmluZ0JyZXcvc3RhdHVzLzE1MTg2NjQ5MzUwNjAwMDA3Njl8 ~~~
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So now Musk owns Twitter?
Now what?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wait for him to do the impossible he claims to be capable of. Elon is a great guy and all but I don't think much will change with Twitter. It's just going to be another dodge project where an overzealous individual tries to change the narrative of a shit project but fails at it. I hope I am wrong though.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
We will see where he goes with it. He certainly has big aspirations.
Either way, with Musk, it wont be boring.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

How will cryptocurrency be regulated?
Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, has some view on it. He believes it will be multi-faceted.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
SO many government aren't looking into regulating cryptocurrency, they are looking into making it unavailable to their citizens and only in cases of war like that of Russia and/or Protest that they remember that there is a decentralized method of payment.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes well stopping a truly decentralized system is impossible.
The Nigerians operate under some crypto unfriendly laws and they basically told the government to pound sand. They could care less.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wouldn't there be a big rush to use Naira to buy crypto at the centralized exchanges used by Nigerians before their crypto gets offloaded to Web3 wallets or DEXs? If this is the case, it would be like the behavior of surf moments before a tsunami hits the coastline.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True that. They want to crush it not control it. It is too much of a threat to the established system. Hope more people get involved in crypto. This is the only way to stop the government's plans
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
That is the true defense.
As more people filter into cryptocurrency, the resiliency of the entire system goes up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem now is the people getting involved are business people and not much of those in politics are interested, and as we know, a businessman has only one aim, make money. So those getting involved currently aren't bothered about the regulations, all they do is manipulate the system to either pumping it or dumping it so they make money
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Interesting view. I think he is probably right.. I just wonder what kind of process they will use to classify and decide which path each coin will follow because there are so many out there and new ones being created by the hour
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We just need to build around it. That is all.
The ability is there. One big time application that hides identity or throws the tracking bots off the path and it is game over.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will be nice. I think privacy will be a huge "asset" in the future
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is going to be tough to negotiate. Money is, after all, nothing more than data. And if we are entering an age where data is more important, then privacy is going to be considered.
How do they separate data that represents one medical history as compared to financial?
I am not sure it can be separated.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As long as KYC is done in some form or other, it cannot be separated.
This is not crypto, but this example shows what we can do:
MetroCards can be tracked by a serial number, but that number isn't tied to anyone's identity. In this way, MetroCards are like cash.
OMNY, on the other hand, it tied to either the mobile phone or the bank account or both. Essentially, OMNY requires KYC.
If we can keep crypto more like the MetroCard, we're good. Once crypto becomes like OMNY, we're doomed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agreed. We are seeing how they want to control everything and know all that is going on. For this reason, we can see how we (developers) need to develop layers that seriously alter the tracking abilities. They arent going to like it but if the industry has the stuff being produced from all over the world, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
First we give our crypto to
ELON, thenELONredistributes our money back to us in the proportions we used to give first.(
ELONhere is whatever privacy coin we want to use, not actual ELON memecoins.)Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol Brain Armstrong is part of the system that crypto wants to disrupt. I don't think we need regulation in this space. Code is law and I am willing to leave It at that. If the government by any chance controls this spacewe can say goodby e to the freedom we have worked for... The government is just a few elites dictating what's right or wrong. I have no confidence in such systems
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Very true. Even if he started with pure intentions, he is now part of the establishment. Regulation protects his business from outsiders. His only vulnerability is from other banks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hope we don't get to that point where we seek solace in the hands of a corrupt government. I understand people are concerned about scams and hacks but those are problems the industry should solve, rather than falling back on the government.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
DeFi, when established properly, is the defense against that. We have to keep building to the point where the infrastructure is such that anyone can fork what they need.
Then it is truly an unstoppable force.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Spot on! This is none of the many points I made against regulation in my recent post. The infrastructure can take care of itself when done properly. So in other words we are simply going to innovate to the point where we mitigate fraud within this space.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I get lucky once in a while.
Without a doubt. Regulation means nothing. This is why I keep trying to explain to people what the true model for cryptocurrency is. We are doing what the banking conglomerate did with the Eurodollar system. It is not different.
And that operates outside the scope of governments and central banks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the centralized blockchains will be regulated like that. Do you think they will start building profiles through KYC and start linking wallets together and giving them to the governments?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course. That is what KYC allows. They know the accounts and then can start tracking everything. Once that have the identity, it is all over.
That is why they fear decentralized so much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that is already in the works... To bad I have done kyc on a couple of exchanges. Imagine Binance giving the nigerian government my data. Lol that's means I will start paying some form of tax. 🥲

Binance seems to be the one to resist most countries.
However, all governments are going to want that data.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Many are calling for a Bitcoin bottom. Does that seem like it is happening.
It is humorous how some are so certain the direction it is going when nobody really knows.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is one viewpoint:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Fidelity seems to think the days of extreme volatility with Bitcoin are over.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For those who are concerned about fundamentals, the hashrate hits an all time high.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I expect Bitcoin to touch $37000.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Speculations I will say. Everything in the crypto world has been speculations since its inception. It is no doubt that the price of BTC will drop real hard soon as everyone is expecting it to happen just like a deja vu, since it happened in 2018.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true about it being speculation from the beginning. It is changing though with the hunt for yield. Now we are getting to the point whereby people are understanding how to develop a solid financial system and not just speculate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It ha sure changed a little with the acceptance of cryptocurrency by a lot of people but at the same time, cryptocurrency getting to the hands of many rich people has made it an instrument of manipulation either with the use of their money or influence.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Grayscale is going to take on the SEC. They are now saying that legal action is possible.
It is pushing for a Bitcoin Spot ETF. So far, the SEC is rejecting spot ETF applications while accepting futures ones.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder who sells and buys LEO for cheap.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't sell. But I do buy!

It's great to see someone investing in the future.

The correlation between the datetime stamp in the tooltip and the "Post" count is in the Search field near the top of the page isn't exact, but it gives a rough idea of where we are at the time I take the screen capture.
Last week the counter turned from 99,nnn,nnn to 100M. Sadly, the count doesn't change in real-time or even after each page refresh.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for this. Great to see we got 153K "posts" since the meme was made of the crossing 100M.
It will be interesting to see the pace of things with some daily monitoring (even if not exact).

We might want to give this one some love. This author has been commenting.

Now that Musk owns Twitter, we will see a filing in a few weeks that he bought more than 5% of Facebook.
