We are now starting the week. Historically the weekends are slow for us, so let us use that same approach and kick it into overdrive to start the week.
What is a good target for Monday?
I am going to say let's take out 450. I believe we can do it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll try to contribute a few comments today. I've been a little busy with the video game account.
Intentaré aportar unos cuanto comentarios hoy. He estado un poco ocupado con la cuenta de los videojuegos.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm gonna help out! Let just go for 500..
Can we make sure to see your commitment towards the goal? 30-50 comments on this post will be enough.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Did I do 30 yet? I'm not counting and I gotta start work haha!
Maybe I see your name as 35 times in the ctrl + F settings.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha awesome! Well let’s keep it going for a while, and see what we get to by the time the next LMT is posted.. it’s really tough to following and keep up with this many different conversations and people at once lol
Sure is fun though!
If not we will put him on the target. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh god!!! What have I done! 0.0
Lol. Get started typing because we need to see those numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sure. I am aiming for 30 comments at least. Although engagement help to boost the number of comments. Mostly I am active while most of you guys are sleeping. Different time zones. It sucks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Had that same problem this weekend nonsowrites, what zone you're in? I'm in UTC/GMT +2 hours Amsterdam time. Not always on during the day but often am. Might catch you one of these days when the rest of the sleepy heads are resting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here... UTC +1 West African Time
I think youre an hour ahead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Getting 30 comments isn't that hard considering there were a few hundred to pick from :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am lazy much...lol and picky with the things that interest me. I often don't comment on things I have little or no knowledge on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That does make it tough.
But then, think of it this way: you give us material to engage with when we wake up.
It is hard to open up @leomarkettalk and find very little there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah rather than just comment on other people's comments I think I will come up with more interesting ideas and topics to discuss during the cause of the day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Abit slow there mate! Pick up the comments were not going to clear 300 at this rate
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cool Ranch Doritos, always makes my fingers want to fly across the keyboard. It's usually movie food, but right now, it's typing food.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Typing food? I bet that is a new one on the food companies.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha thanks for the reminder!!! Really feeling the pressure now!!
How are those comments going?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They are going alright!! I think I shoulda listened to my elders and not bit off moar than I can chew lol!
Like I was saying.. I need to promote this in the terminal discord.. and help some of the redfish and members get interested in LEO and engagement in general.
We are already past 300. It seems like the goal post has moved up a bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thats awesome news on the engagement front! I will be heading off to bed hopefully my time has helped spur some comments and lift engagement
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay, we will go with your target.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a "Brave" target! :) (couldn't resist!)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay... More people showing up. That's good. I am having a good feeling today. Might be a record breaking day. I will feed off the good energy before I get sleepy 🤭
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Record breaking will be over 550 I believe. @amr008 might remember but I cant recall.
We will see how it unfolds the rest of the day. Going to be better numbers than we had in a while.
Mondays seem to be good days.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The highest we touched was 538 on March 14th .
We weren't able to hit 550 but hey guess what we are about to hit 600 now .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Every contribution is appreciated. Keep up the good work 💪🏿
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Every little bit counts. Which games are you playing?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am recording Limbo. I'm going through the story of the game, I think I'll record 3 episodes of that game until the end. Then I will record the story of other video games that I already have in mind.
Estoy grabando Limbo. Estoy pasando la historia del juego, creo que grabaré 3 episodios de ese juego hasta el final. Luego grabaré la historia de otros videojuegos que ya tengo en mente.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nevre heard of it... I'll have to look it up
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah ok. It's a fairly older game that I haven't played. It didn't really interest me as much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That game is a work of art buddy, I recommend it.
Later when I buy a new console, if I will be uploading videos of current games.
Ese juego es una obra de arte colega, te lo recomiendo.
Mas adelante cuando me compre una consola nueva, si estaré subiendo videos de juegos actuales.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you plan on streaming the games , use vimm tv which is built on hive .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I tend to prefer RPGs and stuff like that. Puzzles are fine every now and then so it will probably end up on my backlog.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Limbo looks very dark and atmospheric and it's on SteamMay have to check the reviews out even though I have a ton of games bought on sale from there that I haven't played yet.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Limbo ah ? I have been trying to take my mind off of some stuff recently and trying to do stuff I love which are playing poker , hang out here and play some games ( apart from working ) so which game do you think I should play ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My go to is Age of Empires 2 lol
I don't really play a lot of games these days anymore but AoE2 is a classic that I keep going back to.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have heard about AoE way too many times lol , I will try it out :p
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You should definitely play Limbo my friend. When you play it you will be teleported into the story, the setting, the sounds, the graphics, everything makes you get right into the game. And after you play that one, I recommend Inside, it's the second game that the same company released and it's like Limbo, only it's a different story.
Sin dudas deberías jugar Limbo mi amigo. Al jugarlo te vas a teletransportar a la historia, la ambientación, los sonidos, los gráficos, todo hace que uno se meta de lleno en el juego. Y despues de que juegues ese, te recomiendo Inside, es el segundo juego que sacó esa misma compañía y es como Limbo, solo que es otra historia.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The story is what I look for the most . I don't care much about graphics to be honest as long as the story is good . Graphics doesn't always mean good game right ?
I will try Limbo :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just started playing The Tenants as something to take my mind off of the crisis.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What is it about ? I like just open world games where you can do anything lol ( which I can't do in real life )
I will check it out though , thank you :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I typically play PubG / Escape From Tarkov.. and Valheim.. WoW: Classic.
I loved to play CounterStrike, Half-Life battlefield: bad company & BF3&4
I don't play them as much and I never really could get into WoW. I think all that maple story kind killed my mood for online games.
As for shooters, I tend to prefer not to play them. I am so rusty that I suck so bad now. I use to be able to play decently but once you take a long while off, your skills get rusty.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
WoW. I was addicted to that for about six months. So much so that people thought I was dead. I wouldn't even get up off of the floor for pizza, he had to slide it over to me. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I've been pretty addicted to gaming before.. playing until my ass/back hurt from my the chair..
I quit playing really, after a few bad experiences on a "community" server, and it all just became to seem really pointless and not fun anymore.
It sucks to think of how much money I’ve spent on games, and how much time I’ve wasted staring at that screen.
What is the “maple story”?
Well it was a MMORPG created in South Korea. It was localized to English so there were a ton of people playing it probably a decade or so back.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I used to play CS until recently too .
BF3 is amazing :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hell yea!! It was next level when I was shooting helicopters with tank rounds, and homing missiles..
I had a 3man crew with me in the tank on Noshar Canals and I went 36-0 on Xbox 12 v 12 lol
Or was is 24v24... idk console sucks
I miss playing games :(
Console sucks ? Definitely they do . I got Xbox one as a gift from my brother , I wish he gave me a PC though lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm a cod mobile fan boy. But I stopped playing. Been busy with hive and building my account. Little time for gaming
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly.. if I’m trying to build my hive account, and engage.. it leaves little time for gaming.
On which platform do you play ? I have xbox one S which I haven't touched in 1 year lol . Can we play together sometime?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have a PC and a PSOne mate hahaha. On the PC I usually play League of Legends and COD Modern Warfare 1. If you want to play with me you can add me on Discord my friend, look for me as theanalystjohn #1625.
Right now I'm saving all the money from my @gamesforyou and @theanalystjohn account to buy a mid - high end smartphone as I plan to upload gameplays to the @gamesforyou account. And right now I'm recording a 3 episode series going through the story of Limbo, it's an excellent game.
Yo tengo una PC y un PSOne colega jajaja. En la PC suelo jugar League of Legends y COD Modern Warfare 1. Si deseas jugar conmigo puedes agregarme en Discord mi amigo, búscame como theanalystjohn #1625.
En este momento estoy ahorrando todo el dinero de mi cuenta @gamesforyou y de @theanalystjohn para comprarme un smartphone de gama media - alta ya que tengo planeado subir gameplays a la cuenta @gamesforyou.

450 seems like a great target we're currently at 200 only need another 250 comments. Let's do this!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A good start. It does get rather tight in the afternoons (my time).
So we will see what fills in throughout the day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah time zones bugger me, I get a bit of time with you lads in the am but it's also peak work time so can't do much. And then some time now but it is qte to 1 and bed time for work.
But I want to jam out a few more comments before going night night
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We need to recruit more people from your time zone.
See problem solved. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have to start shilling more out this way
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How is life over there in Australia? Wonder if they're still filming mu favorite Aussie show: The Block I was binge-watching that on Prime when the crisis hit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh the block! Man they kicked a heap of people who had no where else to go out of a building in St Kilda to transform it into expensive homes.
The building was donated by a former wealthy Australian who wanted it to remain for societies most disadvantaged. Went well for a few decades until the T.V show wanted it.
Yeah pretty good can't complain, we don't have COVID here but I'm not counting my chickens yet were approaching winter and international arrivals are recommencing.
How about you in your kneck of the woods?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You know what? I wonder if that is the place where I chatted with either a resident or the manager that had blogged about a place like that in Melbourne before the show got it. I used to manage a building like that and that's why I wrote to him. Hopefully those people found other places to live.
I'm glad you're ok, because of The Block it looks like you guys live in paradise down there! I always thought Tazmania was it's own country. I had no idea it was part of Australia.
I've known of people who had COVID, but no one I actually interacted with and no one in my family. Here it's political. You can almost tell someones politics, by whether or not they're wearing a mask. Let's hope we all get through this unscathed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's try and start the week with another excellent day.
Mondays are usually a bit busy but I usually can contribute more than on a saunday.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's beat that mark..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. We can try to for it but it might depend on getting off to a good start.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It usually does. We need to cross 100 in a rapid period of time, perhaps even 150 to have a chance.
If not, we end up spending the afternoon trying to push over the 333 level.
It would be night to have that in the bag by lunch tomorrow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it seems like there will be some lag after you get off. The night hours tends to have very little activity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will be on a bit longer tonight so hopefully can push it higher.
I think one of the keys, tell me if you agree, is the number of "Starter" comments. The days we really hit the big numbers, I think we were able to top 50. When we do our norm, I think we are in the 30s.
So perhaps we need to focus upon getting the "topics" going strong early on and then carrying them forward.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That might be a great idea, and haven't you thought about leaving a main topic at the top of each post? and we will not necessarily have to talk all day about the subject but it can be a good point to leave some points of view and create interaction, and then if other topics arise as welcome variants, of course everything is a simple opinion with a view to comments be more and more!
In some comments that I leave throughout the community, I am taking it out of habit to leave an invitation to @leomarkettalk so maybe some of you will be curious and take a walk around here!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Main topic is kind of bad because it limits the variety of topics. We want this to be a general all-purpose area.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but its also tough to figure them all out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is tough and this mechanism isnt the best in the world but it is what we have.
We can add a bit more to the table. I will try to get a few more things up before the end of the night.
Maybe that will generate a bit of overnight activty.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will provide as much data as I can from my side if it helps gaining insight . I just added the top_level comment count to the script and also
Average comments per top_level comment . We can see for a week or so if there is any trend.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll try to bring a topic of conversion and get the conversations going.
As was stated above, every little bit helps.
We can get a few conversations that are interested and joined in by a few different people and we can explode the numbers.
Sometimes on topic can add 40 or 50 comments.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hm yeah you are right . I just updated the script to add how many top level comments we had on yesterday's post . It will give us the insight we are looking for hopefully.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think we are off to a good start . It is still early morning here and already 150 comments :) Lot of comments to reply to .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Almost 200 comments already and it should probably make it there soon enough. I would be surprised if I see us at 300 by the time I get up tomorrow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
let's hit 450 :) I am ready to comment more today as I have some free time now and in the evening .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just went on a commenting spree. Feel free to add some in and maybe I will get back to them before I go to sleep.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm still up and already have some in and will be adding more as the morning goes on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol that's what I am doing right now . We are at 469 , I am sure we will hit 500 ( at least ) . I will go to sleep now and when I wake up , I will reply again to all replies :) Let's see if we can push to 550 .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I can see you lot were having some fun without me earlier. The fact that we are in different time zones is quite, unfortunately. Would love to engage in real-time with the rest of the community. It does have a psychological impact on performance
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know :( I used to wake up early just so I can engage with others here but right now I am not getting enough sleep and it is taking a toll on my health so I can't skip much sleep .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
sorry about that mate. one cannot overextend themselves for too long without breaking down. on the flip side I wake up to a ton of materials to engage with, so it does have its advantages.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's how I am seeing too right now .
When I hop on , there are already so many discussions that would have taken place which gives me more options to read and reply to .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I should add 30-50 put of the 450 today. Let's go!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hope everyone had a great weekend and well rested to face the week ahead.
Have a great day all!!!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We already started. LOL
It is a great day thus far for @leomarkettalk.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes! It's Monday now!!
It's funny cos I think whoever makes the LMT posts is on the east coast and makes the post at 12am, but it's still like 7pm on the west coast, so I always think I missed something and gotta look at the calendar haha!
Time zones are crazy..
The new post goes up at 8 PM Eastern time which is 12 UTC. That is how the blockchain reads its days so we have to follow.
That would mean 5 pm Pacific time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Alright I’ll keep plugging away on this one until 5today.. and just have an internal clock/calendar and remember to look for these posts at 5pm my time.
Regrowing teeth.
According to this research, it is possible, at least for this one condition. We will see if it ever expands.
https://scitechdaily.com/need-a-new-tooth-drug-discovered-to-regenerate-lost-teeth/
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My teeth are completely shot! I have not been to a dentist in ages. My family do have genetic dental problems.
I always ensure that I have plenty cloves and and tea bags (tanic acid in black tea pulls out infections) on hand for the occasional abscesses. I get them when the seasons change.
I ain't the Beverly Hillbilly's granny, but it nice that I have a younger sister that is a root-worker. Saves me lots of time visiting the Veterans Administration (VA). Time is money after all!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hope technology changes things a great deal going forward. It is an industry that still operates, in many ways, like it did when I was a kid.
Time to radically alter that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
OMG!! I can go another 10 years without seeing the dentist again!! I'll just HODL for now!
LOL well as I said, it is only for one particular condition that the researchers tested for.
But I am surprised that dental technology has not advanced further. They are still doing much the say way they did 40 years ago.
I guess it is a very difficult field to make progress in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea.. I was astounded to hear when becoming an adult that certain dental procedures are considered cosmetic and therefore not covered by the insurance you’ve been paying for all this time.
Aswell as the fact that employers are
mandated to provide you with health&dental ins. But they are required to turn over your a percent of your pay before you have anything to say..
Gosh!! I’m gonna start working Harder, investing smarting, and
Creating more content. Etc etc!! Gonna be a fun few years! Glad I’m starting here with you guys
I would suggest that. It is a way to break from what you are experiencing in the traditional financial system.
We offer a great solution for those willing to put in the work and effort.
It seems like you are one of them. Welcome aboard.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey! Good morning TaskMaster!
Yea, I was realizing that 2 weeks ago when I felt like I was on top of the world, raking in the yeilds.. I wasn’t concerned at that time with producing good content, I was focused on making money, and hyping those projects.
Since then, I have realized I have everything I need to be successful right here on hive, and if I want to invest in a promising DeFi start-up, I’m already doing so with CUB.. so I really don’t need to open myself up to insult or injury.
That is my view also. People are looking outside the system to chase things down when, for me, I find it all here. We still have a lot of development to be done but we are moving in the right direction.
We are suppose to get details on 3Speak's decentralized video storage system this week. Hopefully we will also get a timeline on that.
It is very exciting to see some of these projects come to life.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would help the old people quite a bit if they could. Some of them have some teeth issues and it would make their lives a bit easier.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As I said above, I am really surprised at the lack of progress made in the dental industry.
Guess it is hard than one would think.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Probably because dentists would be out of work so they delayed any progress on that end. People wouldn't care about their appointments as much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That could be true too.
If people didnt need to go for cleanings, that would be a major drain on their incomes.
And dentists are the cheapest ones you will ever meet.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sometimes the crypto world can be a daunting place even for people that don't invest their life savings into shitcoins, and it can make you feel like you're not fastest block on the blockchain. That's why I appreciate the people who shed light into that dark and empty skull of mine so I can actually make sense of what is happening around me. Of course there will always be crypto related stuff that far exceed my ability to think and breathe at the same time so in order not to die of asphyxiation I must refrain from trying to understand them.
I only wish I could make coconut sound effects whenever I arrive in the comment section of a post: the meme knight has arrived to drive sadness of your faces ... and ask a few silly questions
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I learn more in one day in this space concerning crypto than I have being on HIVE for the past 3+ years! From many comments I have read, I am not alone.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know any other place where you can have fun and learn crypto related stuff :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol this is especially true for new users on Hive , that is why I try to help and answer to most of them .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ok, you'll be the "wise one" I'll just ride around with the coconut sound effects in the background :)))
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We also should point out that, in addition to what you stated, it is changing so quickly. So even if you are "up" on things today, within a week you will be far behind.
Things are simply expanding at a pace we have not seen before in crypto. The technological advancements are starting to come out hot and heavy. It just makes the burden of staying up on things that much more difficult.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
good thing we have knowledgeable and nice people on leo and hive than are willing to explain things
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And yet, we are here and learning daily.. imagine not having the slightest clue and only heard about bitcoin in the news and trying to find out what's up a year from now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see you found Leo Talk. :-) I'm sure you've already met the main group and been welcomed with open arms but I'll add my "welcome" as well.
Yes, apart from being able to "earn" some money and/or crypto here, the knowledge and experience available to be accessed by young, old, veteran, and newbie alike is, in my opinion, worth far more than the actual dollars and cents. The information available here is second to none anywhere in the world of crypto. From whales to devs to financial experts to entrepreneurs, the wealth of knowledge being shared can pay dividends far beyond what's on the screen in front of you. It can be applied to the world around you, no matter which country you are from. Pretty special in my opinion.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks @dagger212! It sure is nice, burned through my resources yesterday only 5% left (before this comment) so gotta take it easy for now, got work later and tomorrow so that helps. Will join in full again when it's replenished a bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LeoFinance is one of the best platforms to learn and earn . I say this from experience.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea things are getting more and more simplier. Now if only the processes getting across various platforms were as easy. You have to relearn all the new things in each platform.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cross chain is coming - soon. It will definitely make life (and investing) easier. Just look at projects like Polkadot, which by the way I'm very bullish on. They are close to giving use the interoperability needed in the system.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the cross-chain adoption is great. But we need to do things about the fees in some areas of the crypto space. AtomicHub takes 9% off you for using their services and a bunch of other platforms are chucking along with similar structures.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It all gives more credence to the old adage: 'it takes money to make money'.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but if we want to generate wealth, we will want to modify that system. Its no different from the current financial system if we have middle man. At least with a 9% transaction fee, I think its a little unacceptable.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with this . Interoperability helps in mass adoption and that is what Hive needs right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol the is complex economics to understand, and ever-changing technology to keep up with. it is a full-time job.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's more than a full time job :)

How relevant is 'value storage' in a world of abundance? If we are moving towards a world of abundance of what use would it be to store value because in my opinion this is incentivized through scarcity.
For example, we save time because we have a limited amount of it. It is not the same for the air we breathe. People don't even think about it actively because it is something we have in abundance.
So this begs the question, of what importance is storing value when it is in abundance?
#foodforthought
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The entire monetary system becomes irrelevant at that point. What we are working towards is a post monetary society. We are a long way from that.
Store of value is required because our world is still monetary based. We cannot just produce stuff out of thin air (yet). Thus, we are in a transition period.
That said, tokenization is going to generate tremendous wealth that will be spread throughout the world. This will allow for a new system to be developed. We will still have the store of value idea for a number of decades yet that will fade away at some point.
I would think free or near free energy is a big step towards that end.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
People, especially those risk averse, will always want to have something to fall back on. Even with tremendous wealth, a lot can happen in life. Bad things will happen and the backup will help cover you financially when it does. Think of big celebs or sports stars that at some point make millions even billions and still end up broke because of addiction or bad wealth management and lifestyle inflation in general. Just an example but I think even when there's an abundance many will still want that safety margin, at least for a while. I know I do :-)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There's a difference between "storing" and "hoarding" value. Storing value is keeping what you have in a place it can be accessed and used without having to worry about it depreciating. Hoarding value is taking that value out of circulation completely, usually with the sole intention of making it larger. The first is a necessary use-case for abundance. The second is detrimental to the abundance of all.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
On the topic of abundance:
Scarcity determines value. Something to think about.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
thanks for the video, it was refreshing to watch. however, I think this narrative is a capitalist plot. From this video, we can deduce that the main use of water--over 80% is for agricultural use and not domestic use. those who should pay the higher price aren't, those who should be investing in search to access the abundance that exists aren't. those who exploit this planet and misuse its resource for selfish gains aren't paying the higher price which makes scarcity in itself a manmade problem and not that of nature.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So one of the major things talked about recently on hive are 'downvotes'. A lot of people have been complaining about getting downvoted by whales recently.
Now I haven't received any downvotes yet. It would hurt my earning and probably put me in a bad position since this is my major source of income and I put my hurt and soul into it. However, there isn't much I would do about it and I hate worrying about things I have no control over.
So people consider it as a form of censorship. I think that is farfetched since it isn't directly affecting people's ability to speak rather it serves as an economical deterrent (to free speech).
So what's your take on the whole downvote issues?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It depends on what the downvote is for. if it is for plagarism then definitely. There is the entire notion of disagreements on rewards and I don't know what to really say about it. Like you said, you have zero control over it. Eventually if it isn't for a bad reason, they will probably just leave you alone. I don't think any whale is specifically out there to get you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here. And I probably want to stay away from that conversation.
If I do ever get downvoted I think I will take it in my stride. Plus, tribe participation insulates some of those types of downvotes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea when HW and DBuzz had a falling out, it was suggested for them to move towards a 2nd layer token model and not worry about the HIVE rewards.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
and as snd layer token grow this whole downvote hysteria will become useful. different tribes will conduct their affairs as they see fit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is stupid for the most part. Those are engaging upon it are being ridiculous. Are there things to downvote like spam and plagiarized stuff? Sure. That makes sense.
But the whales are known to be bullies and really set things back. The tribes are really starting to take hold in large part because the whales on those tribes tend to behave differently.
I havent seen what the reasoning is for the recent downvoting action. Maybe with the price going up we attracted more scammers, spammers, and people trying to milk things.
If that is the case, then it is a smart move by the whales to try and reign that in.

In this case, I don't have much to contribute since I am quite new here, although to tell the truth I hope I do not have a negative vote in the same way I think that if you do your best and are constant, the commitment will show!

I think the argument is regarding 'over rewarding content creators.' A few have some ideas on what is enough or too much reward. I think collectively we can all decide what a post is worth via upvote and sadly downvotes.

I am pretty much in agreement with all the other comments. The free downvotes that were implemented is good if they are used properly. Not out of vindictiveness or jealousy.
In the 3+ years I have been on HIVE, I have seen way too many flag wars among large stake-holders. It is childish. The excuse of He/She started it... is an excuse given by children.
My perception is some use it as a demonstration of their power. Is not the whole idea of blockchain to level the playing field?
The downvoting of plagiarism, vote-farming, and other unethical behavior is necessary to ensure the proper distribution of the rewards pool. Sadly, many large stake holders in the past have participated in this type of unethical behavior. Some have left, others are still here. I will not list them here as it is counterproductive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agree. These wars are one of the main reasons I left Steem three years ago. Too much politics. There definitely does need to be some way to police bad actors, but the cabals that developed and the vitriol involved in opposing opinions really turned me off. Especially since I was trying to get more than 3 cents for my posts and these guys were getting literally hundreds of dollars for spewing garbage.
There's no question that whales are necessary to the health and growth of this platform. But at the same time, at some point you would think enough has got to be enough. It's about giving back to the platform at that point. Not continuing to take because you can. That's literally where Steem is today...

true that. this is why i am grateful for 2nd layer tokens like leo for creating a unique opportunity for their community away from the hive shenanigans. the show of power is unbecoming. i once had an entire month of downvote after downvoting a whale that was shitposting. i have tried to stay away from the drama. my family depends on the income I make here and I am unwilling to put at risk over ideologies. it is a difficult position for me.

What are you bullish on? The technology or the currency.
I lean towards technology. This is why I am bullish on hive because it is advancing technologically. There is a lot of work put into making this blockchain run effectively and scaling as well.

Technology. Currency is subject to market action which is often completely insane. Either they undervalue or overvalue things and usually by a wide margin. Whichever way it is, it is off.
Follow the technology and the markets will eventually follow is my view on things.

Technology. It doesn't depend on any country and even if governments were to fail, I think it would continue developing.

does the same logic apply to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.. they seem tied in a way and I have noticed most are fixated on the currency (which explains this ridiculous tribalism that exists in the crypto space) than the technology.

Without a doubt what @jfang003 says is true. And of course it applies to blockchain and crypto.
The tribalism is on the part of people. Developers just look to churn out software and apps. They are building without much regard for where it is going really.

The same thing happens with youtubers and rich people in Spain.

Yep. That is what happens when you make your money via a computer screen (and a camera). You can do that anywhere as long as the Internet exists.

Yes, the adoption of cryptos is imminent. And now with all this Defi and NFT stuff they are gaining even more popularity. There will probably be many ways to make money online through cryptocurrencies and people will dedicate themselves to that path. In fact, to give you an example, if all Venezuelans worked in Hive they would earn more money than they do in their physical jobs due to the country's economy.

You really don't need to vote with your feet at all, you just need to vote with your wallet and onboard your fiat onto the various different blockchains and crypto/DeFi projects that you have to choose from.
Then the government would actually have to provide a service, and ask for donations, rather than demand direct taxation through force and coercion.
Depends upon where you are.
In the United States, cryptocurrency is taxable.
So whether it is in fiat or crypto, the government still looks to get paid.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea any capital gains is taxable. The hunt for taxes to cover all the budget costs will be fairly crazy in the following decade. Don't forget the budget for the infrastructure bill is spread out over the next few years.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep.
And this is a global situation. All governments are doing the same thing.
They are totally fucked when it comes to their budgets. At least the US can keep printing without much ramification other than a continued slowing of the economy.
Some of the other countries (plus states), not so much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Which one of them is easier to take though. Imagine if we collectively forced the government and the corporatists they are in collusion with, their true colors to the people they claim to provide a service to.
Here it doesnt matter. Many people are aware of the link, there is just nothing that can be done at this time. Monopolization of the marketplace is what happened. And the pandemic only made it worse since so many small businesses were destroyed.
The fact that crypto is starting to make a presence is really a game changer. Since this allows us to radically alter the financial system, that takes a huge chunk out of what they do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not surprised. The static costs will kill anyone remaining in New York. Just because people left, it doesn't mean the split costs will go down.

Yeah. They will simply pass the additional costs (holes in the budget) on to those who remain.
NYC is the worst. They are going to see a huge shortfall if the Wall Street money leaves. That is big bucks, on both the personal income side and what the corporations have to pay the city.

@taskmaster4450le Hey I found out why there is a difference between my numbers and @leo.stats numbers .
The @leo.stats numbers considers only the comments made from leofinance front-end and not any other even though it has the #leofinance tag . That's how my engagement project runs too.
But when I calculate and post here , I calculate all the comments that is displayed on LeoFinance irrespective of from which front-end it is posted .
Ex: If I post this same comment from peakd, it isn't being counted in @leo.stats but this comment is counted in my script .
Why did I decide to do that ? Because it is being displayed in leofinance right ? I mean if I post this from hive.blog front-end , you will still be able to see this when you hop on to LeoFinance so I consider this as a LeoFinance comment .
I can easily change that to " Comments made from LeoFinance " ( which is what @leo.stats states ) but I thought since the comment is using LeoFinance or "hive-167922" tag ( which is LeoFinance community tag ) I will count it .
I just ran the numbers for "comments made only from LeoFinance"
The sum is = 8941 comments , which mathes @leo.stats .
Now you decide if we have to consider comments which is displayed on LeoFinance and posted from only LeoFinance should be counted or all comments which has #leofinance tag should be counted .
I will change the script accordingly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The comments in @leomarkettalk make sense, no matter what front end they are through, they count.
But yes I think the posts for Leofinance should be through there since a post could technically be made on PeakD, commented on Peakd and really have nothing to do with Leofinance.io.
The site can read what it is programmed on the blockchain so I think, for the overall, it is misleading.
Which pushes the percentage up that we do on Leomarkettalk.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I get what you are telling .
But as I said , if you want those comments to be counted which are posted only from LeoFinance.io , I can change the script that way . I was focusing more on #leofinance tag than LeoFinance.io front-end. Did I make sense?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think leaving the @leomarkettalk the way it is while aligning the Leofinance.io comments with what @leo.stats does is sensible.
So just convert your script to match what leostats does so it is alignment.
They we can adjust how we need to so as to push for the 10K in a week.
If we keep having days like this in here, we might actually carry the ball over the line.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay I will get it done by tomorrow morning :)
I still feel @leo.stats should add another chart posting all comments displayed on leofinance irrespective of frontend too because those comments adds value to LeoFinance too right?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not really since the do not ever land on Leofinance. They do not help with the SEO, with the Alexa ranking, or anything.
Those who are posting to the blockchain via another UI are not helping Leofinance even though the site can read the blockchain.
Having the comment on the post helps since it can be engaged in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah this is what I was focusing on.
Since if a comment posted from peakd or other frontend gets many replies , it still adds value to LeoFinance is what I felt.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@amr008
Is there a way to get a total of the votes done on comments and how much they amounted to?
I am not looking for payouts in the posts but on Leofinance. For example, if the 61K LEO doled out last week, did 5K go to comments? Is there a way to do that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will look into this and get back to you .
For one post / comment it is easier to get this but for all the comments , it might take 7-8 hours actually to calculate everything but I will try to write the script tomorrow and let you know .

Earlier today I had a clash with someone over bitcoin. I said BTC is boring (and I still stand by what I said) and that at some point some another coin will flip it because it has been slow in terms of innovation. I strongly believe innovation drives everything. Many people still don't think bitcoin will topple fiat but it is becoming a reality everyday. Digital currencies are becoming a real thing that can not be ignored. In the same way, I don't think people can ignore the innovation taking place on blockchains like hive, Seth, and the likes.
So what is your take on this issue? Is bitcoin too big to fail? Not fail in terms of becoming extinct but fail in retaining its number one position.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its a store of wealth now. It won't fail but at the same time, it is the safest crypto coin out there so I have no doubt that it will probably continue being the number one crypto. Those big banks and corporations aren't going to put the money in the alt-coins and it will be specifically in BTC and treat it like the new gold etf.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Will the people move in the same direction as the corporations? That is the question for me. Bitcoin started as a people's movement remember. I am not saying it will fail. However, I don't see it retaining that number one spot for more than a few decades, which in the grand scheme of things is very little.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think so but the ones with plenty of money want stability. This means it is the number one place for them to flock to given the current knowledge of the space. Will it continue to be #1? Maybe but the prices will definitely be crazy. It may lose #1 once we find a more dominant crypto though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bitcoin is not the future. The path to the metaverse is not being built on Bitcoin, that is what people need to understand.
Will it serve as a collateralized asset which we build an economic system upon? Perhaps.
Will there be a flippening? I think so. My projection is that Bitcoin will fall to about 10% of the total market cap. Still a large figure but nothing like now.
The innovation is happening outside of Bitcoin.
That is what will end up driving the show going forward.
Of course, that does not mean anyone should stop HODLing BTC. I firmly believe it can go to insane levels.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe so too. I might not be a fan but I think it those have potential in the short-run (a decade or so). Technology is moving fast. The world is moving at the pace of technology not economics. We are building a system that has never been seen before. It is not going to be business as usual where only a fee can profit from it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In the transition, early leaders are to be expected.
Bitcoin is going to have value but it will not be due to its technology. In fact, the lack of technological advancement is what actually feeds more into the value. It is a very secure network which is vital.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
that is a valid argument. security is a huge price to pay for lack of innovation which at some point would be the determining factor in the progress of a network. most investors are adverse to change.

It is the safest there is.

Bitcoin started it all and is currently king. Whether it will remain king? I doubt it. Innovation is key. Ethereum moving from Proof of Work (PoW) towards Proof of Stake (PoS) is an example.
If I had kept the small amount of BTC I had, I would have taken the great gains and invested into a project that showed it was innovative and had many use cases. I just traded it too early.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
thank you for this. it shows that there are forward-thinking people who are not driven by herd mentality. it is one of the Achilles heels of the project. the sheer arrogance of its community. while other blockchains are evolving they keep to this narrative that other projects are shit. i predict bitcoin dominance would last for 2-3decades max. the world of technology is changing fast.

There is more than one way to achieve an end. There are plenty out there who have access to those with hundreds of thousands of HP. Just need to tap into that and it could help bring you closer to your goal.
Plus update on Hive.loans will sure help. That is the first priority and, I believe, the first thing you will be judged upon. Pull that off and it is a feather in your cap.
You are out to win the approval from the doubters.

Aye, that is a good way to look at it.
There is some conflict of interest present here as well between BT and myself that I tried to clear up but haven't got a yay or nay on yet. Which is fine. It's the weekend and I don't expect people to work 7 days a week.
We'll see what happens. A few accounts like pumpkin and darthknight could easily throw support behind me and completely turn the tides of things here regardless of what those currently actively dictating it through DHF support now.

So I am about to write a post on financial freedom and I would like to know what it means to you guys? Are you there yet and what would it take for you to get to that point.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My answer is pretty much the same as TaskMaster's with one slight change:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without having to work for someone else makes sense . That is why I am a big fan of passive income , I want the money to work for itself and I want to be involved in charity or something similar in which my work is mainly for satisfaction and not for money .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know but I know I am no where close right now. We can only keep on continuing to fill out bags so we might be there in the future
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
well, i can say the same for myself. however, my goal for this year to be financially stable at least. if things continue the way they have been for the past 2 months for the next 6-12months, i think I will achieve that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't forget to stack some of your earnings since you still want to grow. I would say if you need money out then you should aim for 50% to grow and the other half for your own needs.

Financial Freedom = being able to pay all of one's bills without having to work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, I don't think I am anywhere close to that. But we keep building
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then you are not anywhere close to being free according to that definition.
However, if you were able to pay all your bills without working, would you be financially free then?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
well, i think. personally, i think being financially free is being able to cater to my bills without stress. i don't want to stop working. well, it depends on what we take as work. i consider the time and effort put into creating content and engaging as work--one that I like and willing to commit to.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It says nothing about not working or stopping work.
Simply the ability to pay your bills without working. If you choose to work, and what on, is up to you.
To me, that is freedom.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, having clear vision to really do something fulfilling, something you believe in and adds value to your life instead of grinding for the need of a paycheck is what freedom is to me. I'm fortunate enough that the work I do is not about grinding (anymore) but I do a lot of physical work I might not be able to do until I'm 70+, so creating even more freedom is great.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is it still financial freedom is your doing what you wished for anyways? Not everything goes as we like but I would think that our hobbies (if it generates money) would not be considered work or not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Someone said if you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
So I guess your point holds true.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For me financial freedom is to be able to live a satisfactory life doing what I love to do without worrying about money .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do we ever stop worrying about money? I am in the position I dreamt of some months back but that hasn't quenched my thirst for more. I still want to do more, earn more. There is just so much we are capable of when we move up our hierarchy of needs

OH SNAP!! Now I am excited!!
Makes me so mad, I can’t say anything about Elon musk without my wife bitching about capitalism lol..
It’s good to have differing opinions.. it just makes me mad when communist, socialist, “justice warriors” so vehemently oppose capitalism, and refuse to see that it is the corruption from central authorities that makes this beautiful “free market” devolve into cronyism/corporatism.
Like open your eyes! All your asking for is for more government intervention and more centralizing of authority through wealth redistribution schemes. Grr!!
We have to provide the free market capitalist solutions for them! Because they can’t think past a protest, or redressing grievances to the corrupt Cronies that they despise..
Fuckin frustrating all they want to do is bitch and complain about capitalism. How much more near sighted can you be..
Remember, government killed a lot more people than it saved.
She should research what life was like in Cuba for the past 50 year or in the old Soviet Union.

it is a lengthy article about how regulations have mitigated the growth of the radiation industry. he also mentioned how nuclear power could curb the world energy crisis. now I know little about his sphere but if the assertions are true then the government and the various regulatory bodies are stiffening the growth of the industry which can solve an important problem in our world today.

Well, the truth is that he will not be happy at all, although I don't think it will affect him too much haha. Personally I didn't know that nuclear energy was so expensive, or at least the construction of the plants.

Pues la verdad no va estar nada contento, aunque no creo que le afecte demasiado jaja. Personalmente no sabia que la energía nuclear era tan costosa, o al menos la construcción de las plantas.

My dad had a great solution.
He said that we should build nuke plants on all the old air force bases that are now abandoned and we cant do anything with since they are toxic wastelands after dumping fuels and all kinds of stuff for 50 or 60 years that they were open.
Simply cement over it and put a nuke plant.

In the future it will probably be just a touch pad selection menu with the food popping out of the table.
People are odd, they perceive other people as the cause to their issues. If governments raised taxes to 90% people would still kick the poor and the workers for taking to much.
No one ever looks up they always look down, a big part is that it is rooted in people wanting and believing they will be the up if they work hard enough. So once they get there they don't want to lose the perks.
Unfortunately life don't work that way for the 99% of people.

I believe that in the future it will be normal to see that in any store or restaurant you will be served by a robot instead of a person. Personally, I would not feel comfortable being served by a robot.
Creo que en el futuro será normal ver que en cualquier tienda o restaurant te atienda un robot en lugar de una persona. Personalmente no me sentiría cómodo siendo atendido por un robot.

They are talking about dark kitchens and restaurants. These are buildings that have no people, hence no lights, yet are run by robots who prepare the food.
I am not sure how far along some of that technology is but after the last year, we can be restaurants are looking hard at that idea.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ohhh I understand, I have never been to a restaurant like that. Here in my country I don't think there are such restaurants.

They dont have them here yet either. It is technology that is being worked on. So far, they have automated some of the process but not all of it. Ordering is obviously the part that is most advanced.
Dexterity is still a problem.

I imagine, colleague, that AI still needs to go further and robots will not only be guided by knowledge, but will also be able to solve problems even if there are questions. So far only quantum computers are capable of this.

AI is a lot easier than robots. Agility, dexterity, and different surfaces are all challenges for robots.
AI is software so it is much easier to navigate inside a computer. It is why that sector is advancing at such a rapid pace.
Digital can move light years ahead of the physical world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They must be looking at all possible options, this industry has been very hit by the recent pandemic and if the statistics before indicated that 90% of the new restaurants went bankrupt in the first 5 years, they must reintegrate at all costs!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They are feeling a great deal of pain right now. There is a mad rush in that industry to automate and bring in technology. The contactless service is really changing how they are thinking about things.
Ironic the solution they come up with appears to be no people = contactless. If they can get a machine/robot to do it, that solves a lot of problems (from their point of view).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The other point to take into account is if you can trust 100% to delegate responsibility to a robot, the first thing that goes through my head is how demanding diners can be, either on a whim or due to some possible allergies! and I have read cases where the owner of a restaurant has to compensate for the damage, pay a fine or, in the worst case, be imprisoned!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess it depends upon the robot/machine.
In the manufacturing world, machines are a lot better than humans. In the automobile realm, defects plummeted when machines came into use.
The fact of the matter is the stuff that humans can do better than machines is decreasing by the day.

Maby if we allow robots to continue to take on the remedial tasks, than us living organisms can focus on the complex tasks that require the creativity that only human ingenuity can achieve. Which when we find that AI and technology is making that niche harder and harder to be monopolized, our resourcefulness will inevitably lead us to great feats.
And what would that be. AI is getting pretty "creative" based upon what some researchers were able to come up with. It can create music, videos, and write articles.
While still in the infancy, it will only get better from here.

It makes sense. Less work but more or equal money sounds good to the workers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt. That is where we are. The wages for workers is so low that collecting unemployment, especially with the Fed money, is more than what their make working. Of course, it also shows how little value the job actually is.
I really don't mind this. I posted a few weeks back in here about Bullshit Jobs. Perhaps we are starting to see the clearing out of all these jobs of low value. Automate them the hell out of existence.
What do we do with all the ex-workers? Well that is a different discussion but at least we arent wasting time trying to fit all these people into stupid jobs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea at some point things will expire or people will get kicked off the lists. When this happens in California, I fully expect a revolt against the politicians here.

Ironic the states that are the most liberal tend to kick people off more than other states.
Florida had issues because their computer system was 35 years old. But once they got that sorted, the system went pretty well.
New York is one of the worst from what I hear.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, but the ex-workers are going to continue burdening the system while sitting on their ass watching TV all day and complaining the government doesn't give them enough. High unemployment benefits are a disincentive to returning to work post-pandemic. What is needed is work incentives, even for the lower paying jobs.

And is this happening because of the pandemic or because of Biden? Or both?
Y esto está sucediendo por la pandemia o por Biden? O por ambas?

The pandemic (well the lockdowns associated with it) are what sent things into a frenzy. They collapsed the economy in many areas. We had like 25 million people put out of work in a short period of time. I believe the first few months pushed that number to 40 million people.
Biden isnt helping things although he is just a puppet anyway. It is the globalists running the show. The problem is they keep running into some states that arent going along with the WEF and UN's plans.

I think Apple is looking to create the software so they can sell to anyone and have their platform become one of the defacto operating systems.
It is highly unlikely that Apple will ever get involved with building cars. Why would they? That is not where the big money is made.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think they wanted to make the Apple Car for the brand effect. So I think they will make some cars since they have an extremely loyal base.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They might try to but if they go that route, they will lose.
Think about how hard it is to build a car and to ramp up production. I could see Apple partnering with someone such as a GM to get the hardware. Hell they dont build their phones either so I am not sure they are interested in becoming a hardware company.
Apple excels at software and controlling the ecosystem. I could see them working on some design but most of what they do will be tied to the software.
Hell what do they know about designing an electric motor? And I am not sure they care to know.
But I could be wrong.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you're right. Apple was said to be in talks about a partnership involving the Hyundai, but reports say they were on-again, off again. Apparantly the parent company doesn't want to be seen as "making cars for Apple" but does want a slice of Apple's affluent and loyal user base.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They want their cake and eat it too.
The bottom line is they will be making cars for Apple and that would likely make up the bulk of their sale. Hyundai isnt one of the top manufacturers anyway so they would likely come out way ahead through that venture.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They put out a big press release denying they were interested in working with Apple and then somebody must have reminded them of the iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch, so they had to walk that back. Their affluent user-base will buy anything with an Apple logo on it. That's why everyone is suing them, try to get their customers.
Apple has a live-streamed event tomorrow, so I will be watching to see what new products are announced.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They will hardly be able to catch up with Tesla. The brand as such will perhaps put them in the market, but I think Tesla has already gained ground.
Difícilmente podrán alcanzar a Tesla. La marca como tal quizás los ponga en el mercado, pero pienso que Tesla ya tiene terreno ganado.

Not sure if it's already been raised but what are peoples thoughts on lastnights dip? I used the opportunity to score some more bleo for the bleo and BNB pool as well as Hive.
With BNB bouncing back up I'm hoping impermanent loss doesn't hit me too hard, just waiting for Leo to climb back up to where it was. Definitely a good time to buy though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am just hoping it doesn't run off this month so I have a chance to dump some into the LP next month. Then again, it probably doesn't matter as much since its the bLEO/BNB pool that I am probably going to enter.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I spent another 100 quid last night and about $30 on Hive. I need to start investing more on the Hive side of things.
Takes time to grow but getting there. I have bugger all in the bleo-bnb pool. But I find that pool doesn't show up how much you have in it. I'll lose track on it so bit of a concern
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is a true statement across the board.
We need to get tens of thousands of people buying $100 or $200 worth of HIVE and powering it up. That would change things a great deal around here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I probably do abit more than that at current.
I've been stuck trying to decide if I should power down some Leo to wrap with BNB to farm the bleo and BNB pool. At current I am using my own cash but it is taking me a while to buidl and I've lost all the really good ROIs. Noting that it is still good.
I'm only have adding another $1000 to that pool and then just sitting in and probably liquidating some monthly to send back here.
Just not sure of the process I think I need to sell as BNB send to binance then Hive then use Hive to buy Leo.
Do you know of a better way?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You can find an easy on-ramp, like Coinbase or whatever, for your fiat. I've been buying DASH. Cheap transfer fees. Transfer it Bittrex and buy Hive there. Very small (like .1 Hive) to transfer from there to Hive. Then you can convert some of that on LeoDex and buy Leo. That's how I got my original stake. (Actually, I think Bittrex stopped trading DASH so you'd need something else cheap to transfer. Obviously nothing ERC20....
Since then I've been doing the same thing only transferring to Binance and converting to BNB and then using the Binance Wallet to convert to BSC and moving to metamask and then converting to bLeo. Then I can either stake that in the farm or convert to Leo with the Cub conversion thing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't used Leo Dex and not sure how. I used the HE is leodex cheaper? Can I use leodex on CUBdefi to bring Leo back to LeoFinance?

In a long term bull, always smart to add to one's core position when the market gives it.

Things might head lower for a while, but I believe this will be relatively short lived. There were a lot of leveraged Bitcoin plays that were liquidated. The market needs to clear a lot of that crap out.

Oh yeah, I read about the liquidations, I'm not sure why people play those games. Too risky better off just owning the item. But then I guess you're not propped up by the tax payer when things go belly up.

Leverage when right can make you a lot of money. That is why people do it. Hell that is the entire real estate market. Put down a few percent and get the entire house. If it double in price, the person gets the entire amount.

leo market talk is getting harder and harder to load as the comment number increase, I hope that won't become the limiting factor
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If it gets to the point where it is intolerable, we will start to do a couple of posts.
That will split the totals up but will allow for ongoing conversation throughout the day. People can simply jump back and forth.
For example, if we are consistently pushing the 500 level, many start a new post around 200. Then we can put new content up on the second one as people still engage in the first.
But you are right, this a limitation to using the comments in this manner.
I would guess that is something that Khal and the developers ran into.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I was thinking about the 500 mark as well even before reading your reply :) anyway even at 500 comments per post I still think the loading times wouldn't be unbearable, especially since most people would reply to comments instead of loading the whole thing. But it would be a bit daunting for new people to jump in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So much fomo seeing such a wall of comments at the end of the day :-p
But good to see so much activity and this way you can always find a few things to chime in to
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Taken us a while to get to the point. We will see how things go the rest of the week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I am not sure of the number but there is a point, if we consistently grow to it, that we will need to do something.
The fact that we had so few 500 comment days and not too many 400 days means it isnt essential at the moment. But if we do see an increase. we will have to think of ways around it.

Greetings friend, yesterday I read an article by him about the improvements that are intended to be made and how the increase in interest in the HBD may turn out to be not so beneficial

It is beneficial if it works. But all the extra steps means that if it get unwound, then it would be even worst compared to if we did nothing/

Maybe products out of thin air?
Not as far fetched as it sounds. Carbon capture systems are being prototyped to generated products such as toothpaste.
We will see if this technology/idea ends up going anywhere. Perhaps the forerunner to carbon nanofactories which are expected decades down the road.

it would be really cool if we could use some of the carbon in the atmosphere and not just stress about it all the time
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well for 1. It is crazy to think of how many products are made using petroleum or bi-products of petroleum.
Had you ever heard (the conspiracy theory) that the Shell petroleum company bought the patent/keeps from the public the information regarding a hydro-ethanol engine? And basically does not develop this technology so that they can continue big oils monopoly of petroleum products.
I havent heard that but it wouldn't surprise me.
Why cant the automobile companies make a car that goes 100 miles on a gallon? I know the technology was developed over the years. I am sure it was bought up by someone and shelved.
This is why we need to redo the entire system.
But the first challenge is the financial system. That is what is at the center of everything.

The plan for restoration of constitutional government, is something I used to promote heavily before hive.. but revolution/altering the forms to which we’ve become accustomed is a big pill to swallow..
And I had tried promoting that for a quite a while.. but I think DeFi and blockchain are infinitely more promising, cut the workload, decrease the risk and opportunities costs etc..
If you check it out I was a big believer in Gary Hunt until he went full trumpian and said he didn’t wanna join hive. But his website is outpost-of-freedom.com
The best way to deal with and change government is to reduce the amount of government. It simply is not a system that can be fixed. All models appear broken.
Trustless is what blockchain offers. Hence we dont need the idiots in office (or at least as many of them).

Wasn't there a movie about a guy that developed a 100mpg car and they threatened him over it as it would have affected oil company profits?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think there were a number of them. People using sun, water, garbage and all kinds of stuff to generate energy for cars.
My thought is they were all either bought out or threatened.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nikola Tesla was working on free energy generation and when he died, the government raided his home and confiscated all of his papers and research. Didn't want knowledge like that getting out!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They actually did that before he died. He was a threat to a lot of powerful people.
The biggest traitor was Edison who benefited enormously by the government taking down Nikola.
He was more than a century ahead of his time. Sadly, corruption of government and big business got in the way.
Something that has not changed since then.

It is an interesting idea. This is one of the use cases that I am interested in. I think this is where crypto could really make a difference. I talked to him towards the end of last year and said to tokenize the project.
It is the only thing that makes sense.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm excited to look into this more!
Yea I think it will take a while though for it to come out. At least the plan for how it should be developed should be ready as soon as the funding comes in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is fine. It is not an easy project so taking some time is expected.
A plan outlining the direction would be very helpful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, this is definitely something I'm keeping an eye on. Someone has to basically go through the learning curve from scratch. Once some of the pitfalls are discovered, it will give others a chance to work off of it and figure out new and better ways to implement it. Lots of innovation still to come. It will be very interesting to see if he can make this work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like the idea of creating a new model. It will be a learning/innovation experience but once it is in place, others can follow.
We could see an entirely new funding mechanism opening up.

Do you think the crypto market will bounce back after the bloodbath overnight Saturday? Or do you think there is more pain?
My view is the reasoning used for the sell-off, lawsuits and money laundering charges doesnt really have any long term impact beyond the initial fear. I think we might waffle for a few days at most and then head higher.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree! I wish I wouldn't have fucked off and invested in a failed project or obvious scam.. I’m realizing now that a few thousand isn’t anything to really play with (for a guy like me) and I shoulda been playing my cards a lot closer to the chest.
Especially because I’m just starting out in crypto and learning the ropes.. looks like I learned the hard way :/
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@unorgmilitia/we-got-rugged-fuk-bud-defi
I learned my lesson, and that is that I shoulda have stuck with CUB and been happy, or shoulda figured out how to invest a couple hundred here and there into the project others who are knowledgeable are talking about and impressed/excited by.
This is 5k I no longer have to invest in the future of crypto. I need to learn to HODL
DeFi is a risky arena and not so much by the risk of the returns but of exit scams and what not.
That is why I go with those I trust. I believe in Khal and Leofinance so I have no issue with my money there.
Anything else, not so much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I’ve learned my lesson. Thank god Im still hanging onto something. I’m not as adept as some folks on when the best time is to pull the trigger. So I’m just going to keep it simple and focus on powering up my hive, engaging curating, and invest a little at a time into some of those other crypto lottery tickets
It is honestly best to follow some of the advice on here (leofinance). There are a lot of intelligent people.
I think it would help to avoid the scams and bad moves. Few are looking to put their money into things that will lose.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea that’s true! I’m definitely done doing my own hunting (for now) into “promising” “up&coming” BSC DeFi projects. I’ve definitely learned my lesson, and won’t be repeating those mistakes.
Let others check them out for you.
Besides, if it is a good idea, odds are CubFinance will implement it in the future.

I don't know but I kind of expect crypto to get some more pain. Its more of a critical rest of the month for the stock market if they want to keep making it go up. It makes sense to me that they want to make people scared in crypto and move back into the traditional markets.

I think the equities market keeps inching higher into May. We might see a top then.
There will likely be volatility but I foresee the trend higher.
May might signal a reversal. It is the time of year when that can happen.

Yea I think the market will have a sell in May event and I wouldn't be surprised if they move money out then to match the seasonality charts.

The thing that is giving me pause to that thought is the capital flow internationally.
Europe is a shit show. They along with Japan blew up their bond markets. We are doing something similar. Right now you can either go junk or no rating to find a return.
I have a feeling we are going to see capital controls coming in. These areas cant allow capital to flow out. China is already restricting and I wouldnt be surprised to see Europe do something similar.
Thus, before that hits, money will flee.

That's pretty awesome! We get caught up with all the witnesses, infrastructure and programming with this upcoming hardfork and the hardforks to come.. but the Layer 0 community and tribes is something that is really exciting about hive, and rarely (that I've seen) come with controversy. . This whole HBD thing was mind blowing..
Yea the HBD thing is crazy and I won't talk about it.
But adding in the developments in tribes is exactly what we need. It helps to retain more users and give them more options about how to spend their tokens.

This is why the traditional system doesn't seem to be working. They are hacking people who are not using the active keys and using the normal username/password system.

I read that earlier. It seems odd how it was done. I guess they were able to hack a site and get the email accounts and passwords.

Hive catching up

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I was like: was there HIVE there and then I saw it in the bottom half. It sure seems like we are up there but is the market cap of HIVE bigger than STEEM or not?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Steem marketcap is bigger than hive right now . I guess almost double :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nothing like a pump and manipulation.
Development is going to take hold of Hive and it will skyrocket.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure I would say Hive is catching up. In fact, it likely fell further behind the way Ethereum is starting to move.
Either way, we are still in limbo. We need a lot more stuff to hit the market. Fortunately, there are things in the works that could really change things.
I just wrote a post about the deal with HBD and how that could bring a true fixed income market to Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Checking it out now , I really hope the HBD 10% interest comes in the HF25 . It will help in bringing lot more money into hive and also prevent outward flow of Hive .

The interest doesnt require a hard fork. That is set by the witnesses and they can change it anytime they agree with it.
The HF is going to cap the rate of the HBD.

What do you feel about exams for students during COVID times ?
There is partial lockdown in many places in India and some schools are shut .
The exams aren't being postponed though for university students .
What is your take ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think they can postpone it because if they delay things then everything is thrown off. Either way most of them are overpriced and its not like its going to change most of their decision.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well the problem is , they postponed it for 10th standard and some degree courses but not for others . That triggered some students , I mean it just seems unfair for them .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If they fail the exam, they should be reimbursed their tuition and/or roll them back for free, and let them try again until they succeed..
but I've never went to college or paid tuition, so I'm speaking out of my ass. I just think they paid for a service, and they got robbed.
I agree with unorg, they should get the chance to retest at a later date for free. If all of these courses are supposedly available online, it really wouldn't cost the schools anything but a little extra paperwork. Seems patently unfair and definitely money-oriented and not student.
If I'm the students, I might organize some pickets of these schools....

Self education via the internet.
I know this method has its flaws.. but if you allow yourself to understand that you can be wrong, and you are open-minded I think that this is a one of the best methods for learning and understand ideas and concepts outside of the normal curriculum of reading/writing/arithmetic.
To be honest , I prefer this over the traditional ways . Right now it's all about certificates and grades and less about knowledge in the UNI .
With the vast resources available online right now , I totally support self-education.

Seriously.. the amount of frugality that comes with internet self education is amazing.
