> American Express and Abra are launching a new credit card that will allow shoppers to earn cryptocurrency rewards “tradable across over 100 different cryptocurrencies” without annual or foreign transaction fees.

This is very interesting. We are dealing with a shortage of vehicles in general. This is worse in the EV market.
Yet GM is reducing the price of their EV by $6K.

For me having a vehicle is just a liability, when I can just rent a car for my personal use.

This would really pay off saving cost as cost of repairs aren't entirely tied to you.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Cost of repairs, depreciation asset as well as insurance, these costs a ton
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You definitely know how much all these stresses the mind.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agree with you.
I don't travel often so car rental is much more cost effective as compared to owning one.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's correct

The episode of CTT was today. It was a powerful one.
It is very interesting what they are planning. The ability to fork out all the major chains, eliminate the Founder's stake so they are decentralized, and then tie them into Hive so they can have fast and feeless transactions is really powerful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is very powerful indeed. I have to check the replay and watch.

Do Kwon cashed out more than 2.7 Billion USD prior to the UST debacle? Apparently, it was a man-made disaster. I feel pity when some people sympathize with Do Kwon.
USDT one day will have the same fate; their disclosure says that USDT is not fully backed by an equal number of fiat. It's a perishable stablecoin, the sane will prefer a non-perishable stablecoin.
For those of you who have followed the #SPORTS token over the last couple years, it looks like they may finally developing a decent use-case. The first of many, hopefully.
Full disclosure, I just bought a chunk...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I've been a massive skeptic of SPORTS over the years, but if they can get this fantasy premier league thing right, they'll go a long way.
The whole marketing for it needs to be that it's monetised. And not just for winning, but for simply being active and contributing.
Holding NFTs like 'trophies' that give you access to higher leagues and thus more lucrative rewards could be awesome.
Bring on the season already!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, as I commented in the post, I have always felt like there could be a huge market for an All-Sports related token. It would require some thought and effort, but I think it's a build-it-and-they-will-come sort of thing. Hopefully this is the first step to unlocking some of that potential. I bought 1.5M of them this morning for like $15. Seems like a good one to take a flyer on. Lots of reward potential for very little money at risk. We'll see...

If the DXY heads higher, crypto is heading lower.
This has shown to have an amazing relationship over the last few years.
It makes sense. The stronger the USD, the worse it is for crypto. This shows that crypto is not the safe haven, the USD is.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, this correlation developed in this bull cycle, it was not there earlier, ever since the institutional players have joined, this co-relation has begun to shape. I personally do not see this as a good sign. Crypto is also considered a hedge against the USD and other traditional assets, therefore it should have its own unique move.
That's true and it will continue when the big players remain in the market, i.e. almost always. But again when the bull starts the returns is huge in crypto.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true, Bitcoin is not a hedge against the inflation and the price is moving in accordance with the Stock Market, that is my today's post all about which I am going to write :)

Nice. I missed yesterday, so now I have to start over.

Ouch! It's okay though :) That's the good thing, you can still claim 10 hehe

Ive claimed 10, we go again tomorrow 😊

Congrats! Don't forget tomorrow, lol!

I'll do my best 😁

Technology is bringing Sci-Fi to live in front of our eyes.
This is going to be the future of trucking.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Whoa... that's amazing. But it also means truck drivers would have to get another skill.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Who unloads the truck? Who gets all the permits for special situations such as OVERSIZED LOAD or BIOHAZARD? Who makes the course corrections which don't make it to GPS? Who does the repairs while on the road? What happens when natural conditions exceed the parameters of truck functionality (especially north of the Arctic Circle)?
For some situations, human drivers will still be required behind the wheel. For most, perhaps a self-driving truck will work. JOHNNYCAB this will not be.
Even if the truck is self-driving, the "driver" is still needed. That's how it is with airline pilots.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great questions, thank you and it's true what you said, a driver is still needed. Although my reply was just based on the shared article :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
On top of all of that, who gets held legally liable in the event of damage or a fatality? Google's experimental autonomous vehicles still suffer from glitches in programming or data processing, and a few have even killed people. Generally speaking, EVs have a greater tendency to combust spontaneously than traditional vehicles.
Even if the role of the human driver is reduced, I don't think it can be totally eliminated.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This would make the job of "drivers" easier. I bet this drivers would activate a "manual driving" feature when they get bored. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That feature already exists. It's called driving!

I think the future of many professions will be similar to this. Machines will work on their own and complete the given tasks without the need for humans.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with you. Seems everything is going towards that route, AI and stuff. I wonder what would people do decades from now when majority of the works are going to be done by machines.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is the key point. If we do not want to be unemployed, we need to keep up with the future and prepare ourselves for the future.
Robots are not smart, they just perform the given task correctly. It is the people who rule them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And we are doing that right now, yeah?
True too what you said, robots are controlled and programmed by humans.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes we do and we need to do more!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow, technology is really advancing

The Saudis are now getting into the aging, or should we say, the anti-aging game.
So how long do you think you will live until?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the best medicine for aging is happiness. In my opinion, the soul should be young, not the appearance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I must agree with you on this. And I guess it follows, that when you are truly happy, it reflects on your appearance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's not how old you are, it's how old you feel. Happy people always feel late and are also healthier.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, yes. That too.
It's good I always feel I'm still 22, lol! And always see the brighter side of things too thereby making me generally happy most times which in turn makes me very healthy :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm glad you feel that way :) LOL
If you look beautiful, you will see beauty. The eye is the mirror of the heart.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha, was just kidding! And true that, eyes are the windows to the soul they say.

Hmmm, it seems that quest is going to be nonstop. I would be grateful if I'd live to 65 and it wouldn't be bad if I get a bit longer and in great health too. But then again, who knows.

Every so often I come across these videos on the Tesla Phone. This one is a bit old but it still drives home the point.
Yet for all these videos, there is no discussion about it from the company.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow! That is very exciting! Honestly, it's my first time to hear about Pi Phone. Elon seems to be so driven in things he do and time will tell when this product will come out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Who knows, the actual phone might be an embedded one. Mobile phone features can be integrated on his Neuralink technology. :)
If that happens, I am betting it's gonna be called a "PSY PHONE" as people with embedded chip in their brain will be like with psychic powers controlling machines with their mind. xD
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a very interesting concept. Although I am not sure if I would want one myself, lol!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't you want to have superpowers? You will be able to control things and even talk to someone with just your mind. :grinning:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahaha, that's nice but kinda scary, lol! If it gets hacked by others then they would know what's on my mind, lol!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would become even scarier if they can replace your memory or even control your actions. :)

This would be crazy shit 😂 were it to happen.

I am sure it would be. Though, it may be the new normal after a few years. xD

They get rich by investing wisely. I wonder at what prices they invested.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes. That we don't know hehe. The good thing is that they are invested in it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In fact, they invest not in what is good, but in what they can earn more. There are many experts working for them. Therefore, they can dominate the markets very well. That's why there are thousands of investors following them around the world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see. It's what they do best I guess, earning more hehe.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What they do best is make money with money. If we can use the power well, we will be powerful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I personally wouldn't want to copy their investment portfolio. I would take it into consideration but not copy it. Their investment allocation and risk tolerance are not the same as mine. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But there are many people who do this. Institutional and wealthy investors in particular copy it.
They hire dozens of investment and finance professionals. You and I can't handle their portfolio. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If they invested in 2016, they may have also been airdropped an equivalent value of Bitcoin forked crypto such as Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. In that case, they got wealthy/wealthier not just on money spent but also on found money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know how they got rich. But they become powerful by using the power well. And what they do best is making money with money. By making the right investments at the right time and I know many of them invest in a bear market.

I forget the exact words, and I know it was quoted by some billionaire or other, but this is the idea:
Saving is how capital is formed, and capital is what is used for investing in one's business either with cash, or tools, assets, or other investments. This requires delayed gratification, which poor people haven't mastered. That's just a fact.
Once someone with capital becomes rich, then it's a matter of finding other ways to get rich. Not "get rich quick," but rather get better return on investment. It's like being poor again only the starting point is different and the numbers are different. More options become available, so the income streams become greater.
This is how I see it. I'm not rich, so I can't confirm this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, what you said is true. There is no chance of getting rich without investing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Investing in crypto is the wise choice 😁
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I love investing in promising assets, especially when the markets are falling.
