ITS 420 SOMEWHERE!! Woooooh!
Today I chopped some wood.. Slow-Mo video soon!
Fire it up... the weed not the wood
It is now 4:20 today, and its 6:30 AM..
Its funny feeling like you live in another universe when your in a different time zone
@davedickeyyall is likely celebrating somewhere.

Tomorrow.. in Colorado
LIKELY
understatement of the Year, Task!
😂
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How long did it take you to cut it?
Cuanto tiempo te demoro cortarla?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I shoulda took a before picture of the rounds I was chopping on.. but it took around 2.5 hours to do this
Next time you should take the picture buddy hahaha
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know!! Atleast I took a video also
Good job!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you! The slow-mo video is awesome!
All I know is that its promoted a lot in the weed channel. I didn't exactly look into what 420 is though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol 4:20 is internationally known as the time that you smoke a bowl with all the other cannabis enthusiasts around the world. There is many different allegations and conspiracies about why 4:20 is fourtwenty
Thanks for the details. I see it promoted quite a bit and I haven't smoked any in a long time. After a few bad experiences with some roommates, I gave up any idea of regularly taking any.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I’ve had a bad experience here and there, but it’s mostly due to external stimuli and my own state of mind, not really the cannabis.
Cannabis has helped me a lot in my life, and has enabled me to deal with certain things in life. It is definitely a “crutch”.
But I think cannabis is the reason I was able to deal with my anger management issues, that I have had since childhood.
I had a couple of bad trips too but I really believe it had more to do with my state of mind than the substance itself.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Impossible, time zones lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You dont think I thought this while I was typing!? What I also thought was that there is some stoner out there with clocks all over the house, to let him know when its 4:20 in all of the different timezones.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, well I was choppin and chucken for a while today, that’s forsure.. it’s pretty fun work! Glad I didn’t get injured at all, not even a blister!
Lol. Is getting injured very common when doing so?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We cut down 3 oak trees in my wife’s parents front yard.. and in the process of chopping that wood, on the last day of work, I pulled a
Dumb and dumber move and ended up with an axe to the face, and my first stitches haha. But yea, I am prone to injury, and I feel with age I am becoming more cautious, not less prone. This is the mark it made on my hat 2 years ago, thankfully I had the hat on or it woulda been worse.. looked like I got an elbow from a UFC fighter
Are you going to do anything special with the wood?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't even know how you end up with an axe in the face. It's good that your becoming more cautious as you grow older.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Tool storage.. keep the business end on the ground, and you’ll never get hurt.. I had the axe laying down on my chopping log with the handle hanging off the end, and I rolled over another log to start splitting, and I rolled that log onto the handle of the axe, and it catapulted up onto my face lol!! Was fuckin crazy! No concussion tho! Woot!
Brings back memories. I used to chop wood daily for my niece when I lived in North Carolina. She had a wood stove.
I now live in an apartment in PA. Electric heat. No need to chop wood anymore and at my age? My back is grateful!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I never had that experience actually. Not sure is something I'd enjoy but it would be interesting to try it once just for the sake of it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And with the Winter you had there, I am sure the rest of the body is grateful too.
Unless one chopped wood in the freezing cold, it is something impossible to describe.
I dont miss it a bit either.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea! Once I quit working and got into my truck, my back was fucked and my Abs/stomach was really tight haha! I got home, took the boots off and stretched rite away! It feels good to still be able to do that kinda work.. I told my boss there was no need to bring a tractor+hydraulic wood splitter.. that’s a waste of fuel.
Working hard is admirable.
Working smart is smart.
I would have opted for the tractor and hydraulic.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, my muscles and shit are thinking the same thing now..
LOL that is how it goes. I am far too old to exert myself to that degree.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeaa, ill start working smarter soon.. I just couldnt see myself suckin diesel fumes for that little of an amount of wood. but it turned into 1 1/2 days worth of work cutting and stacking it.. but that is because I was working two jobs and engaging with folks from the chain! haha! dont tell my boss!!!
Here's the video guys.. idk how to upload the slow mo to the internet lol https://peakd.com/hive-193552/@unorgmilitia/kpgyrxwp

Interesting list of the most expensive NFTs sold so far. I thought Jack Dorsey's tweet would be higher on the list. It was quite a surprise.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol i am looking at those ugly-looking images and I want to puke. the fact people sent that much on such things bugs my mind. i don't even think those sales are genuine. maybe just marketing plots.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha. That's the thing with Art, highly subjective.
I will crap and call it Art and some people will admire it. :D
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i could come up with some beautiful nonsense as well and call it art if you lot are willing to part ways with your money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sorry bro, I am no art collector myself but I know a few who might be interested. 🤑
That is very true.
The old saying: one man's trash is another's treasure.
I am sure there are some old pic of screens from the 1980s that we could snap a photo of and then make an NFT.
Hell I will sell it for 300 HIVE, a bargain if there ever was one.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's genius Taskmaster. :D We will be millionaires by selling NFTs like that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is still a great idea and more so with the rise of NTFs
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Looks like computer graphics out the 1980s.
They werent very appealing back then either.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i still do wonder what the value proposition of those jpegs are really. maybe the collect knows something we don't (I doubt).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would guess, at those prices, the value isnt there but what do I know.
I think there is a terrific use case for NFTs and digital ownership is the future. This, to me, just looks like mania.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea art can be messed up some times
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehehe well, they say beauty is the eyes of the beholder :P
Also, there is much more to it than looks. a lot of people believe on the value of those NFTs as a collectible item so they don't really care if they are ugly af
But I'll agree with you that most of them look like crap lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
well, people have money to spare. i think anyone who can spend over a million dollars on a jpeg has many worries in life. can't compare their standards to mine.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that is safe to say.
In fact anyone who spends a million dollars on anything is operating on a level that is completely foreign to the rest of us.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. I couldn't spend a million dollars on anything even if I had to lol
Soon though :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
just don't buy NFT's 🤣
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You may think that, Task... but I have a friend, a old dear friend, who bought $1 million in Silver. His last house (sold) had an elevator in it. But really, he's just a normal guy like you and I, (I think we have a lot in common) and very down to earth. But he was also a working class dude, retired Teamster and Banker. YES, he believes the banks are jsut as corrupt as we do!!
He's now a big time blogger. Still buying and selling precious metals.
This guy is possibly an exception to the general rule, however 😎
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with you. The craze seems kind of unbelievable.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
100000% correct!
Marketing plots and ploys. Most good art is underappreciated
until the artist dies... 😭
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know if I should be happy or sad looking at this .
I wonder how much effort did it take for him to come up with those NFT .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is from The Onion right?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it is amazing the money that rolled into them.
We see how insane some of it is and many of those (actually most) show the nutiness of what is taking place.
Fortunately, I didnt buy NFTs but spent my money on CUB. I think I will do better on that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea same here
I might mint some stuff into NFTs and try and sell them, but Probably won't be buying.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know what to make of it because it seems like people tossing millions of dollars into what I consider useless.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I remember the quote "Science is what allows us to live, while art is what we live for". 🤔🧘♂️😅
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure what that "art" is providing people to live for.
But to each their own.
I guess some people simply have more money than they know what to do with.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The "art" there includes (but is not limited to) visual art (paintings, sculptures, and graphics), music, and games (especially video games). 😀
I do think that some people have too much money to spend on art. 💸💸💸
I believe some of it has to do with ego... some people like to show they are rich enough that they can spend 3 million on a screenshot of a tweet LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just yesterday I saw a program that reflected exactly that, where they boasted how much a room in their mansions cost and everything was based on what work of art was hanging there or what exotic materials were used in the construction, that is why I agree that the arrest of the art is subjective

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Check this out, guys. Another huge step towards adoption! Always happy to see such news coming out:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes although WeWork might be doing this as a stunt. That is a company that is in trouble.
But it is a sound move to get some Bitcoin if they can. Not sure they will since I dont believe most people are going to pay for much with Bitcoin.
Nevertheless, the publicity is what counts. Just another name to toss out there as involved in the crypto game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree Taskmaster. This might create a buzz at least among the other competitors in the same space. Hopefully some of them will follow.
Coinbase will be their first member to start paying the fee in bitcoin. WeWork will also pay some of its associated landlords in crypto. Let's see where this leads to in a few years time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It all helps to provide some legitimacy to crypto. Simply, the more that is out there, the better it is for all involved. The spreading is happening.
However, the true spreading needs to take place on the individual level. We need a lot more people to be involved in crypto and those that are, need a lot more crypto.
That is how we will keep riding the exponential trend.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Even I believe that we are very much powerful in our individual capacities. Word of mouth still works. Also, it's easy to gain influence on social media and then use it to promote whatever the hell you want. Big companies often fail at influencing the masses as compared to individuals.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very true. It is just having the right approach. I believe on social media it is important to take a "professional" approach for something like this. Being a clown will not attract a ton of people.
However, if we took a serious approach to promoting an application, that could really make a world of difference.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is real and it is happening, those who are skilled in marketing are leveraged with news related to the crypto environment, since advertising that goes hand in hand with cryptocurrencies is cheaper due to the hook and organic boom of people who click daily looking for news about cryptos!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's great. So I guess we will be seeing a bunch of new Coinbase accounts for these new crypto holders.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yeah @jfang003. Another great day for Crypto. It will open up more avenues for adoption among WeWork users as well. At least that is what I would like to hope.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
New wallets and accounts is always a good thing. We need to get more people trying this stuff out.
Hopefully we can pull more over to Hive as we start to roll out a few things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Maybe we should have bought the stock.
Perhaps Kathie Wood was smarter than us...again. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
From an investment perspective. Buying the Stock in a few days from now would be a good option. I am expecting it to tank a bit further in terms of price.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. I wonder if it will still dump as the news dies down. Those market makers gotta make more money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha. I can only hope for it to tank because I was thinking to invest in the $Coin Stock Token on Binance. Let's see if it happens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think I'll stick to the US stock market instead of Binance because US gets no-fee trades. They do sell our order flow though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Error.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's good. Spread the word!

Cryptocurrency mass adoption? Not if, when. It has already begun!

I added this new data .
It shows how many comments got atleast 1 upvote and shows who earned the most upvotes on LeoMarketTalk on a particular day .
This is for yesterday's post -
Number of comments which got atleast 1 upvote - 455
Author wise LEO upvotes delivered.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I love these statistics you put together. Helps us all up our game!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I presume those are in LEO.
455 comments upvoted. That would be something to keep track of and monitor.
That means 455 out of roughly 600, that is an outstanding percentage.
This could be a great selling point as we amass more data. Lets think about this strongly and put together a solid plan on it. I think we can leverage this for much greater benefit for the overall numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, just a few minutes ago I read an article by @ jfang003 about some statistics of what we do here, and although I repeat and I am new, my commitment is intact and with clear goals, which as time passes I plan to achieve, in itself I see some fruits and thanks for all the support!
I also share the fact that all this can help a structured planning model to reach more people and massify what we do here!

Yeah it was a good post.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for dropping by my post. I think I got a few people interested in making comments so lets hope they drop by.

By the way, between upvotes and comments we added over 1,000 activities to Hive just within this thread (well yesterday's thread). You all get the point.

Does anyone use some sort of crypto watchlist? I don't watch many tokens outside of Hive but I'd like to have a saved list of a few coins that I can easily resort to check the latest movements and stuff like that. I was wondering what kind of app or site people usually go to.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Coingecko has a nice portfolio feature. You can use that to track any tokens on their site.
I think they only need an email to sign up and log in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's good to know. I'll check it out
I don't do a lot of trading but it's nice to get some insight on how things are going every now and then.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it is a nice feature on the website. You can find it in the upper right hand corner and put in whatever crypto you want to watch.
You just go to the crypto and star it and then send it to your portfolio.
It will even do account value monitoring if you want to put how much you hold of each token.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No but I guess if you can find them on Trading View, you can just set the watch list there. I think some pairs aren't there so it is limited
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh that's cool, there are only a few I wanna follow so it might not be a huge issue.
I'll check that one also and see which one suits me better.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like trading view because I get access to a ton of indicators. Even the unpaid stuff is fairly amazing for any trader.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Guys and Gals
As a brief follow-up and word of caution concerning the topic of NFTs discussed earlier this morning (my time). Especially concerning the Topps MLB that's hitting the marketplace today.
I was just "window shopping". Prices listed are crazy plus they are all over the place - wide differential between high sales/low sales prices.
If you are in the market and find something you must have immediately, do yourself a favor. Click on the listing picture and on the page that comes up on your screen scroll all the way to the bottom. There you will find five of the NFTs you are searching with the five lowest prices listed in ascending order.
Have fun!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a cool hack @kevinnag58, Thanks for sharing. I was thinking to buy at least one just to try it out. But I thought this shit is so expensive right now.
This helps!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very expensive! Given the price of a pack a "common" card should cost no more than $2.00. But when I looked the lowest common I could find was $6.95 and they went way up from there. It's crazy because it's new. I'm definitely waiting for awhile until the market settles down before I start doing anything.
I've collected baseball cards for years, but gave them all to my oldest son when I got divorced. The market for these NFTs is more nuts than an opening day for the traditional cards in the past.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A lot of mania there. It is amazing how many people are going headlong into it without knowing what they are doing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, and a lot of people are going to be very disappointed if this "fad" goes the way of traditional cards. When just issued, prices are way high...but...after a month or so, when the market floods, prices crash. That's what I'm waiting for. I'll buy some then and hodl...my kids can deal with them when I'm gone.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I don't understand the high prices either. I am fine sticking to my gaming NFTs because they can earn me something have at least some base value.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With all the hype around Alien Worlds, prices of everything went up. I made a small fortune selling all the "crap" free drops I received.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I made a few hundred dollars worth of WAX. Though it took most of the tools I stacked up and decreased my aether generation a bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here. In fact I was able to sell everything except the Nordic I'm using plus three tools (one is an Explosive). Presently I'm not generating any Aether.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am at 700 something and fairly close to 800 aether per hour currently. So I think its more or less over 10 WAX a day. This is about $2.2 or $2.3 in current prices so its not a bad return as I am converting them everyday.

If only hive had "share holders" meetings
From time to time I see people saying they don't support memes, and in some cases these statements comes from whales, not from the cool whales that actually have a sense of humor and appreciate the fact people are trying to have fun and not just pander to the big upvoters, but from the boring whales. Of course I'm talking about original memes, even a lobotomized lobster can be trained to copy and paste stuff, be it memes or text.
One good meme can make you or the the subject matter famous, like it has done countless times in the past but I guess being boring a is just too tempting.
Having fun is important on any social media, and while some people like very long walls of text, others like to have a laugh or a smile from time to time because life is serious enough as it is.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Memes are a fabulously way to get ideas across.
They go viral and are tied to how we think.
So a solid meme can convey a lot more than an article or video. It is a powerful way to march toward success.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm gonna bookmark this comment to slap people in the face with it in the future :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just think of the possibilities with ProjectBlank once that is released if we all take a number of ProjectBlank memes and start tweeting them out.
Do you think that would have an impact? I think it would.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll have a lot of work to do :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't mind since memes are also content. There is nothing better than having a nice laugh every now and then.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
good to know :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Memes are a very good way to spread ideas. In fact, the word meme was not coined on the internet as many think. It's a term from biology and is related to genes and their ability to reproduce and carry genetic information across a population.
That may be a little inaccurate because it's been a while since I read that book LOL
But the main point is that memes can be very effective. There are some more modern companies that study how to use memes to improve corporate communication and culture assimilation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol companies study memes ? I need to add memer to me resume :)))
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, they do :)
I've been to one study case that was all about a company that used memes to improve some of its key performance indicators. They called it memetics lol
I thought it would be a shit show but it was actually very good.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Make it a post so people learn about it. I think people would love it lol.

Its an interesting topic: is crypto earnings considered illegal?
https://leofinance.io/@bozz/it-must-be-illegal
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol anyone can think what they want but I ain't giving up my crypto. it is partly illegal here in my country but hey, who cares. i am not doing anything bad in my opinion. i am basically creating content and earning money. if anyone considers that to be illegal, even the government, that is their own cup of tea. worst-case scenario I move to another country and start life all over again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am with you. There is no way that I am backing down from this. There is too much at stake for humanity. We need millions of people refusing to submit while expanding the decentralized capabilities. We also need a big push into privitization.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the spirit! There is no going back for me either. I also would rather move than put up with stuff like that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I had intentions of moving to a neighbouring country when crypto was declared illegal in Nigeria. The decision did not hold much weight and it has been a series of mixed signals from the government ever since.
No one who has tasted this level of freedom will give it up easily.

Thanks for sharing this article, it was very good. In fact this has also happened to me with my parents and other people to whom I have tried to explain the cryptographic world and how to make money with it. But it is a complex subject and it is not easy to understand at the first time.

Yea it will take time to convince them but we have to keep trying. I don't think it matters as much because we still end up paying for it when we convert our gains into fiat.

Probably at some point they will take it seriously and understand it my friend, there will come a time when cryptos will be everywhere in everyday life and they will have no choice but to understand the system.
Probablemente en algún momento se lo tomen en serio y lo entenderán mi amigo, llegará un momento en el que las criptos estarán por todas partes en la vida cotidiana y no les quedará de otra que entender el sistema.

It really is one that people will have to take their time to understand and grow into.
This is no different than the Internet. Back then you couldnt explain it to people. They simply had to get involved.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's just so funny to me that people in the US think we need to/should pay taxes to a corrupt and unconstitutional government that has violated its obligation to the constitution and to the people at large. They don’t deserve taxes, they deserve abolition and or death.
Yeah welcome to the system.
It is totally upside down. Of course, governments love that. Pass enough laws and you essentially make everyone a criminal.
This is why we need to start dismantling governments. By forming an alternate system, we need not invite them in.

It feels really good to have a purpose in life.. which is liberating yourself and your fellow human beings from authoritarian hierarchies

It is the way people are. They simply believe the wrong people.

Wow! I just heard about this post mentioned on the CryptoManiacs podcast, that I'm watching live on Facebook
I suppose a lot of people think it's illegal, but that's probably because they aren't willing to learn and understand things. That was one of the biggest failures we did previously as well, when we where marketing this place like a personal cash-cow for people. A lot of people didn't believe it was "so easy" to earn so they ignored the opportunity and thought it was fake, scam or illegal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the product of so many deceptions, and human reasoning distrusts everything that is relatively easy, it is an evil that affects us but I think it is a matter of time for this snowball to get bigger and our community has a considerable exposure !
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Government is afraid of losing control over people financially so they term it as illegal .it's not surprising to me as this is what is happening in India too.

Yea I think that is a misconception we need to fix if we want things to take off. As much as I don't like it, a CBDC or BTC ETF is likely to make people see it more as something legal. But you never know since it took a while for cannabis to change its perspective.

It's still illegal in Sweden.. :P

In Panama despite the fact that it is a country with a lot of drug traffic, cannabis is still illegal
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i thought they were one of the major exporters of weed or so. maybe I got my facts wrong
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here in Brazil...
We have a huge war on drugs that's going nowhere but cannabis is still illegal, despite all the economic potential it has, not to mention other benefits.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As long as the economic interest of a few at the top or better said in the government continues to exist, they will keep it that way just as they do here
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just terming something as illegal doesn't stop it from being used.people just find new ways to use it , it's better for government to regulate it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
here I doubt they will legalize it due to various socioeconomic factors
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. Too bad the government here is heavily influenced by religious parties that are against the use of some substances as cannabis.
That's not the only reason, of course, but I believe it's a strong one. In the end is all about power and the votes of the "churches" are very important around here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is actually illegal here in the United States.
Some states are starting to allow it but the Federal Government says it is illegal. Hence why cannabis companies have a tough time getting bank accounts since that all comes under the Feds control.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
and I think they will not allow it at least for now, it is still a very lucrative business as long as the restrictions are maintained, the fact that it is difficult to get drugs into the country that is what creates the high supply, since if we see the statistics the demand is made.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same in India lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its starting to gain traction here in the US. Most people just aren't against it anymore and people lives should not have to be ruined for just smoking it (as long as they do it safely). Not to mention, I think its great as tax revenue (less burden on the rest of us).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Greetings friend I hope you are well, I think it was always a plan to keep it illegally if you go over the old restrictions, cannabis was considered more harmful than cacaina, they demonized it with a single purpose, to continue suppressing the population of color, remember that in that era was consumed mostly by people of color and especially Jazz lovers who affectionately called it Jargon, in great Jazz pieces you will hear that word and you will already know what it means, one thing leads to another and that is why we see a gap of inequality almost 200 years apart, the numbers are round and the statistics are available to everyone.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am doing well. Yes some things just don't make sense and its mainly because it is painted in a negative light.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you need a certificate to prove you are allowed to smoke it? How will someone verify whether you are doing it for health reasons or not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know how it works in all parts of the world but in some places, you do get some sort of "credentials" stating that you need it for medicinal reasons.
In other places, I think you just need a prescription by a licensed doctor
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think so but if you are taking it medically, you may need so. I guess it would come with some Doctor's note. Legalizing it is better because they can get taxes, ensure quality and people can consume it without fear of going to jail.

LOL well 4/20 makes it a timely topic.
It is an industry, though, that came a long way in the last 5 years.

It took a long while for cannabis and it is still illegal according to the Feds.
So there is that part to it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's really funny as well that cannabis is considered a schedule 1 substance, meaning there is no legitimate medical use for it.. while cocaine is a schedule 2 and is able to be prescribed for medical use.
Morphine/oxy is heroine, which is opium, which is fine to prescribe even though it’s highly addictive.
Nicotine is A-OK to be sold over the counter. Fuck this government!
Yea, I find that really messed up as well. I have more than one friend that's using cannabis-derived medication and the results have been a million times better than all the other treatments they tried before.
Unfortunately, because of this bullshit, it's very hard for them to find it and they have to pay a really high price for it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree. A bunch of senseless bastards, all of them.

I remember in 2017 seeing the rise of many cryptocurrencies related to cannabis, I even believe I have seen a game based on cannabis and they use the Hive chain, the presale was overwhelming but if I am not mistaken after having spent more than two months even the game is not released, hopefully those guys don't lose their money!

There are great changes in even states such as NY about it. In fact, I think the reason why we had record turn out in some states is precisely because weed was on the ballot. There are too many people who just didn't care about voting but if its for what they want to do, they will.

Yeah well that was a couple select people trying to promote the idea of make $1,000 on a post bullshit.

Well that is a rabbit hole you can go down and spend a year in.
And it keeps expanding. A lot of great things coming with NFTs. Sadly, we are in a mania phases where an NFT of my big toe is likely to fetch some money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i haven't explored nfts much but i have told my friends who are artists to explore it. like you said it is still in the mania stage. maybe when it matures i will explore it. i have enough on my hands already. i cannot overextend myself
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it could be a good thing for artists. I'm an amateur musician and I might try it myself.
I don't have a lot of hopes on it and it would be mostly for fun so if I get anything out of it it's gonna be more than what I expect.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehehe it's true, I also think I'll expect new uses for NTFs, the fact that you have something that is scarce is great but there must be something else that adds value

But there are so many stupid NFT out there which is spoiling the name for it.

About 3 weeks ago, I posted an article on Chainlink's Dynamic NFTs. Interesting how they may be used in the area of identification and KYC.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like what you talk about in NFT's real world application as applied to real estate and just expanding to every other aspect of life.
NFTs are basically just digitalized items. These items can be pictures, music, videos or even game items. Its the simplest way of looking at things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You haven't thought about the fact that wars seem to be taking on a more cyber than warlike tone. With this in mind, imagine an attack on an entire electrical system in a country! What will happen to the NTF market in that country?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it will be a problem since its all stored on the block chain. So unless the block chain disappears, there are no issues. This is why we need to push for decentralized block chains.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's basically the only thing I know about it. That it's digitalized items. :D
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well it's just like your comment but replace it with image or video.
For example : you own your comment right? I cannot edit it , I cannot delete it . In the same way , images and videos are uploaded to blockchain and you can own it . You are the owner of it , you can sell it to someone else on the blockchain which will make the latter as the owner.

I got here in 2017 and it was still going on in terms of the idiotic marketing and get rich quick scheme.
It took the bear market to clear those people out.

Honestly speaking, I think a bunch of them are still here. They're just waiting for others to do all the heavy-lifting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I first heard of either a $100 post or a $1000 Steemit post back in Spring early Summer of 2016 on Facebook. I immediately went "right!" and clicked away. Had I joined back then instead of a year later, I would have been networking with the early whales and would likely be one.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess it all depends on your approach back then. I joined in July 2016, had zero experience and I didn't believe in crypto at all. I simply cashed out everything I earned. Roughly 6 BTC in ~2 months or something.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I can really relate to that. I used to thought the same when I first heard about crypto. I think we are slowly moving towards mass adoption, but there are still a lot of myths and misconceptions about crypto that drive a lot of people away.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Personally I think it is going to take a lot of people using it in some form before it penetrates their understanding.
It is just like the Internet. You couldnt explain it to people, they had to experience it for themselves.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You hit the nail on the head, at least for the US.
Paying taxes does not make an activity legal, the IRS just wants it money. You can be a gun runner or drug dealer and they dont care.
Just pay them.

I think this is something that needs to be promoted. We need HIVE to start being talked a bit more and get the word out. So I think the Twitter proposals are good too.
https://leofinance.io/@cflclosers/if-you-want-hive-to-thrive-then-got-off-hive
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true... I must admit that I don't really engage too much outside Hive. I don't really like Twitter and I stopped using other social media.
That being said, I'm thinking about reactivating my Twitter account or maybe creating a new one with the sole purpose of promoting Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is what I did. Made a new Twitter account called LEOPUMA.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehehe interesting choice of words
any special meaning behind it?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My twitter account basically just follows some stock people for an extra opinion. I don't think I have ever tweeted out a single thing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I might create one exclusively for crypto and Hive. I think it could help the community in the long term.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It most certainly would. In the end, we need a lot of marketing and that would add some to it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't had a Facebook account since I joined Steemit in July 2016, but all of these traditional social media platforms are gold for traffic and exposure. I should definitely use Twitter more, but I lack time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, that's true. Unfortunately, it's where people are so it's the best place to do some "recruiting".
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly. It's the perfect place to promote Hive, as we want the "Average Joe's" on board and not just the "anarchist-basement-living creatures" people have tried to on board for half a decade already.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol!
You have a point thou :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem is not many vote for proposals.
I am in support of Mars proposal and I retweet and tweet about Hive whenever possible.
With the amount of users on Hive it is really easy to get tons of tweets every hour in Hive but sadly we aren't doing it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem is the kind of Tweets are important.
If a bunch of people just were out there schilling Hive with the "Hive is great" "I love Hive" stuff, that is just spamming essentially.
People need to put together tweets that are engaging.
Either way, ProjectBlank will take care of that. We can start tweeting out about development like 3Speak's decentralized video storage once that is announced this week.
Stuff like that will garner serious players attention.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a good point. People need to hear about all the great stuff that's been developed here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true... I admit that I didn't vote for many proposals before. That changed with the whole Hive SQL thing and now I'm trying to be more proactive regarding proposals that aim to improve our community.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you and I have to confess that I wasn't all that interested in proposals until couple of months ago .
Same with witness voting too , I never took them seriously but now I know how important they are ( although my vote is like 0.01% lol )
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehehe same
but every little bit counts so it's important that we vote even if our vote is still a small one
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Marketing is super-important and we've been lacking good marketing for a very long time. All the twitter-stuff is awesome but it's not nearly enough. It takes more than a few people doing the heavy lifting.

It is a start..I am really impressed with the amount of time Nathan puts into this and I have heard many people who came to Hive through the Twitter marketing.
@finguru is one such example.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The guy is so persistent I am sure by the end of this year, he is going to bring a few major investors or projects on HIVE. Of course, he needs our help. The major reason why he made the Hive Twitter Marketing Proposal is to incentivize the people participating in it. I feel this will definitely make the scale a lot bigger than it is now. Let's see!!
That's true. He is really on a mission!

Yea I think we need to branch out more. I tend to cross-post to Publish0x now and I try to link HIVE posts or links to help the SEO. I don't know how effective it is though.

I have never tried publish0x . Let me know if it is worth it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its a few cents for each posts but you can just copy over most of the stuff over. The problem is that it doesn't use markdown so you have to make some changes to the file until it fits.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I use it a lot. It's decent. I cross publish quite a few articles between here and there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see , there is no moderation or anything ? Is it okay to copy-paste my own articles there?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, copy and paste is fine. Moderation there, (if you want to call it that) is very lax.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I used it to publish a few LeoFinance articles. I don't like it and won't use it for more than ranking purposes. I don't think it's worth it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
SEO is definitely something we could benefit a lot from, but most people aren't interested in doing anything to help us in that regard. It's basically as with the engagement. Many users around here waits for others to do the job.

What if we all hired an SEO with the earnings we all receive at Leofinance?
Y si entre todos contratáramos a un SEO con las ganancias que percibimos todos en Leofinance?

I don't know much about that but there are many posts on LeoFinance with some quick and easy tips to improve SEO on our posts. I'm not sure exactly how big is the effect of those measures but most of them are very easy to implement so there's really no reason not to use them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay, these tips should be applied.
Vale hay que aplicar esos consejos.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have a couple of SEO-posts and there are a bunch of others as well. We have the knowledge right here, but we don't have enough people who are willing to learn & implement things properly.
That goes for literally everything on Hive actually.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They (the LeoFinance team) talked about some SEO tools previously. Nothing happened with that.. Not sure how "we" would hire someone when even the LeoFinance team seems to have lost interest in it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We could apply SEO in some indirect way to Leofinance, not to the platform as such as we do not have access to change anything on it. Our job would be to position Leofinance by doing external work. Just like a blog receives traffic thanks to a youtube video. The same could be applied, bringing external traffic through other networks, but those networks need marketing, advertising and so on to get people interested.
Podríamos aplicar el SEO de alguna manera indirecta a Leofinance, no a la plataforma como tal ya que no tenemos acceso a cambiar nada de ella. Nuestro trabajo seria posicionar a Leofinance realizando un trabajo externo. Así como recibe por ejemplo un blog trafico gracias a un video de youtube. Lo mismo podríamos aplicar, traer trafico externo mediante otras redes, pero a esas redes hay que aplicarles marketing, publicidad y demás para que la gente se interese.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This man is absolutely right, we are like locked in a bubble outside the outside world. We have to promote Hive and Leofinance ourselves colleagues, not only on Twitter, but on the other centralized networks.
Este hombre tiene toda la razón, estamos como encerrados en una burbuja fuera del mundo exterior. Hay que promover Hive y Leofinance nosotros mismos colegas, no solo en Twitter, sino en las demás redes centralizadas.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea its weird how an unknown coin pumps like crazy while we get left behind because they don't know about HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's do the same then colleague. We can't just stay in this chat generating interactions. I think the solution is to bring people to the platform, share it so that more users join and there we will have many more of the interactions that we probably generate here in the chat.
Hagamos lo mismo entonces colega. No podemos quedarnos solo en este chat generando interacciones. Creo que la solucion es traer gente a la plataforma, compartirla para que mas usuarios se unan y allí tengamos muchas mas de las interacciones que probablemente generamos aquí en el chat.

That's "all there is" to it. In no specific order.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly, with that Hive and Leofinance would take off to the moon.
Exactamente, con eso Hive y Leofinance despegarían a la luna.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup. It's a shame more people doesn't understand it though. Or that more people aren't willing to put in the necessary effort and time it takes to do these things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess it's because of the big whales who are selling off Hive they earn here.
They earn huge , they sell huge which impacts hive price.
Well yes other factors matter too but this is a big problem too..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think a lot of that has to do with how Hive (Steemit) was promoted years ago. They focused too much on "crypto-enthusiast" instead of the average Joe's.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, that's probably part of the reason. Not everyone on Hive wants to go deep into crypto. For a lot of people, understanding the basics is more than enough.
I still believe in promoting crypto mass adoption but maybe we could benefit from other approaches as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am a newer person so I wasn't around for all the drama and stuff in Steemit. I didn't even know they focused more on crypto-ethusiast.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You sure missed out on a lot of things back in those days..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I haven't. Is this related to how make-up is a hot thing in Youtube? I didn't want to watch any of them so they stopped trying to recommend them to me (a few years back).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is very true. No one else will do it for us. It's up to the current users to push us towards new heights.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly, we must take this platform as if we were the owners and make it grow. We have to share it and invite everyone we can to join and use it in the best way. If Leofinance and Hive succeed, we succeed too.
Exactamente, debemos tomar esta plataforma como si fuéramos los dueños y hacerla crecer. Hay que compartirla e invitar a todos los que podamos a que se unan y la usen de la mejor manera. Si Leofinance y Hive triunfan, nosotros también triunfamos.

¡Somos los dueños!
We are the owners!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We are the owners. Every user with at least a token is an owner, but not many users out there seems to understand what it actually means..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly! We don't need to pretend or act like we are the owners because everyone single one of us, no matter how small our accounts are, own a part of this great community and it's in our best interest to see it thrive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Indeed.. There are a lot of people out there who doesn't seem to fully understand that it takes a lot of work to push things to new heights though.. It results in only a handful of people doing all the heavy-lifting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Okay, so it looks like everything is definitely in our hands.

Banks have been so entrenched in things that it is easy to overlook how vulnerable they became. Their slowness in adoption technology has killed them.
Few remember how dominant they were before FinTech. Now they lost more than half the mortgage business, most of the car loans, and an assortment of other areas.
If they lose deposits, it will kill them.
Actually they are since many are holding crypto as opposed to putting money in the bank.

Now 5 billion people are on it. So either that a lot of drugs, guns and sex or people use it for other things.

You mean you can do other stuff on the internet?
LOL
But yeah, you are spot on

It would be interesting to play the games run on a cellphone using your mind. Definitely a unique experience.

What would be cool is to "think" out a blog post. Instead of writing, simply think of what you want to appear and it does.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be amazing, actually! At least for me, one of the hardest things about writing is to actually translate what is on my mind to "paper". That would really help get things going
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would speed things up, simplify it, and make it overall a better experience.
Plus, imagine those ideas we have for a post, that is fleeting, if it was recorded somewhere so that we could write about it later.
We would be connected to our own personal assistant.

I'm seeing a lot of hype around POB lately. A lot of people starting to be more active there
https://leofinance.io/@romirspc/proof-of-brain-both-community-and-price-steady-increase
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am active there from day 1 . My engagement project is giving out crazy APR for that token. It's better right now to delegate to my project than to manually curate lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
yeah i saw your post there. making some nice gains. i use their platform to comment occasionally and their tags as well and I have been getting some decent rewards. lol everything is geared towards making us rich this bull run. hope the bear run isn't this intense.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I know that very well lol
I have delegated all my POB to your project. You're killing it!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's actually good . I am urging people over here to do the same because we shouldn't be missing this opportunity :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With all this potential there I might try to be more active there, but I'll probably still delegate the pob to the project.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am looking forward for a usecase . I like the concept of 100% Proof of Brain but as long as there is no usecase , the token will eventually die .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, that's true... do you know if there are any plans in motion? I'm not too involved yet...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see a bunch of posts with it so I am curating it myself. My POB stake is now worth more than my LEO stake. All you need to do is compare the time I spent on each and PoB seems to be winning right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
wow, that is amazing. i think i will give it a shot--posting via their frontend. i have never made any direct post on their platform only comments. i do use their tags most times but that is basically all I do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, their front end is not the best, but then again, most communities don't have a good one.
It's worth a try anyway
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I read somewhere that they plan on changing their front end. That would be a huge step forward. Leofinance changed theirs and made other updates that showed their commitment to developing and that did the trick for them. It could work for pob as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes. User Experience is crucial to retention and a good frontend is an important step on that matter. It should be on the roadmap of every community.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
From what I understand, it is not easy to get a from scratch front end tied to blockchain. There are great challenges with it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Think about delegating to my project atleast for another month . Compare the returns you are getting from curating and the dividends I send out every week , see which is bigger.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know but I seem to make a killing with both curation and author rewards. I just tend to like to give it out to the people I vote on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, my PoB stake is also worth slightly more than my Leo stake right now.
I didn't actively look for PoB posts but a lot of people are using the tag lately so I ended up curating some of those lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well but it might change soon since LEO has some serious usecases which POB lacks right now .
But one thing is common , the community support .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Damn I forgot to change the date when I pasted it over. I hope it doesnt screw up the tracking.
Let me know if there is something amiss @amr008.
As for yesterday, a record setting day. It is great to see so many people excited about this.
We have a nice cushion as we enter the last 1/3 of the month. Not a time to rest on our laurels.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm glad to have made enough comments to be up in the leaderboards for most comments once again, but I made 2 comments less than last week.. I need to turn things around for this week... And I will.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is what we like to see, commitment.
It is he bases for all moving forward.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yeah.. With my giveaway-stuff it seems like the engagement have started to increase a bit on my own content as well, so it will make things a bit easier as I strive to respond to all the comments I get.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Engagement needs to kick up by an exponential amount.
We serious are playing with too small numbers to be effective. There is no reason why we cannot 2x or 3x the number of comments on Leofinance each week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I said I'd have my best week and I did it! Still not enough to be in the top 3 but I'll make it eventually
Let's break more records this week!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The first day was a record so we are off to a good start. Day 2 of the week is shaping up nicely.
We might go for a record week here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's all right , I will manually change the script for today , no worries .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea we should be fine even if activity dwindles a little bit. I think yesterday would be out all time high after @amr008 fills in to be safe.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We might have hit it already.
But you are right, he will likely take care of the rest.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Excellent! GOod job everyone!

Almost 23 here
I should go to bed soon but I still have a lot of commenting to do!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The first hour is the most busiest , if you take a look at the activity heatmap of this thread I post everyday , it is clear that most comments is within the first hour.

We tend to get off to a good start once the new day hits.
That is the trend for the last few days. Helps us to get a nice jump on things.

Update on that deli story. Its funny how some digging brings up some interesting information like illegal activity. Though I question who gets to say what is illegal or not

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's like they say: follow the money.
One of the sons of the president of Brazil has a chocolate store that's under investigation for money laundry (which, obviously happened).
He invested an obscene amount of money that he couldn't justify and the investigators found all sorts of inconsistencies on the paperwork.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Money breeds more money. If you just follow the trial of money, you will find out everything. It includes why politicians are doing and why.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you mean "trail of money" instead of "trial of money"? 🤔
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was a typo but I feel too lazy to correct it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Maybe they do have some very good pastrami.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That sounds nice. I am getting hungry and I hope dinner comes soon.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I bet your dinner isnt worth $100 million like that deli.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
$100 million could buy me a lot of what I usually have for dinner LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would imagine it would buy you a lot of what you do not have for dinner.
In fact you could afford to eat out every night and twice on Sundays.
If only Hive and LEO were to appreciate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL that's true
I'm a simple man but I do love to eat. When Hive and Leo moon I'm probably gonna build me a house without a freaking kitchen and eat out all the time LOL
Or, scratch that, I'm gonna have my own private restaurant
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would rather dump that $100 million into an investment and live off that for the rest of my life.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I suggest that you split that money into multiple investments instead of a single one, because diversity of investments reduces the risk of losses (though also the profits). 🤔
Should I put #NotFinancialAdvice on this comment? 😅
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol I don't think you'd get sued for that :P
That's just good practice
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea its not financial advice but I would of split them into multiple investments. You gotta earn that money somewhere.

And interesting take on cryptocurrency from a fund manager who navigated the dot com era.
There are some public gems out there as the traditional financial entities are slow to react.
This provide opportunities for more nimble players.

Yea they tend to look towards what can potentially succeed. The dot com era destroyed many people who just went with the crowd.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was a great ride up...and a painful ride down.
I had a buddy who made out like a bandit. He got out about a year before the frenzy reversed. He cashed out and sat on the sidelines.
Too bad for him he lost close to a million in the financial collapse. Had a lot of money in a local bank that went under.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And people still trust banks. They tend to be one of the first things to fail when things go bad (local ones).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah he was a stockholder in it so he was on the right side of the trust, owning a piece of the bank.
Too bad for him the bank had a balance sheet loaded with mortgage backed securities that all were AAA rated and went to shit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. This is what happens when you sign off a bunch of loans and people stop paying. Debt is both a good and bad thing. In good times, you are euphoric and in bad times, you are down in the gutters.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well it was a really ironic situation.
The bank was a local one and was doing all the crazy shit other banks were doing during the real estate boom. After all if you dont someone else will.
He was concerned about the bad loans but the bank was protected, they were selling the loans and getting them off the balance sheet. Thus they were protected since they made money on the transactions, got fees for servicing the loan, but the loan itself went to Wall Street.
Of course, they were exposing themselves in the back end by buying MBS from...Wall Street.
Who knows, maybe they bought pieces of their own loans back.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The bank didnt get any TARP money so the Feds had to step in. The assets were sold (given) to TDBank, the deposits were covered by FDIC, the FED took the MBS (which are still likely on their balance sheet) and the shareholders like my buddy suffered a total loss of their stock.

Just sent out the weekly payouts in our commenting contest.
It actually has been three or four weeks since anything was sent out so the total was just used.
This is not a problem since @jfang003 was continually ahead of @amr008 easy week so it worked out well.
Instead of a winner take all I decided on a split.
There were 80 LEO total in the wallet, 60 to @jfang003 and 20 to @amr008.
Good job to both.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow, that's actually really awesome.. Not sure how I have missed that part.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it was promoted before. I wouldn't mind if people overtook me in comments though. But it would require some commitment.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would require lots of commitment!
I had my best week yet and I'm not even close lol
I may get there eventually but you are doing a great job making it hard for us! Keep it up!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It sure would. You're doing a superb job and we're lucky to have such a dedicated user around here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Considering it hasnt been talked about in a month, it is easy to miss.
The top commenter as per the report by @leo.stats each week would get the LEO that the @leomarkettalk account generates.
Since @amr008 was winning each week I decided to do a spilt.
Of course, once I decided to do that things changed and @jfang003 was taking over. So it was a split between the two.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you for the prize @taskmaster4450le . Will use it in a good way :p
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Power up and vote.
Easy way to use LEO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha alright, well... You are the winner week after week, so you're simply just giving away your prize. :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I excluded myself from it.
Would look kind of bad to hold a contest that I won each week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think a split is better in the future. How about half to 1st place and 2nd/3rd get a 4th each?
That LEO pretty much puts me near my LEO goal for the month. I debating about whether or not to move that over to CUB now while prices are low or to finish powering up towards my goal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can do that split if you want.
What does everyone else feel about that?
Add your thoughts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'd be in favor because it would give me a fighting chance LOL
But seriously, I think either way is fine. Having people "compete" for the top spot could be a good challenge but spreading it a bit could get more people engaged if they think they have better chances.
I know it's not only about the money, but it's a nice incentive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it actually added to a decent amount since it wasnt paid out in weeks.
I have no problem with spreading it around some.
It makes more sense if people are interested in that.
You just need to take out @amr008.
Just load him up with ideas about doing data searches and he wont have time to comment. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh that's a great idea lol
Maybe he could help us pull the data of how many comments with an odd number of words were written on the 3rd Thursday of every month that had a holiday.
Is that hard enough to code? Is he gonna be busy for like a week? LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol no it's pretty easy actually :p.
Anything that has to do with only dates and comments is easy .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am totally okay with this.
I will be back on my normal routine from now on so it might be a bit difficult for others to best me so yeah I vote for split among 3-4 people..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Aww just when I thought I had a chance LOL
I'll have to up my game to be able to "compete"!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Power up!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That gave me an idea. I am thinking of making a post tomorrow to promote the @leomarkettalk about how engagement net me 60 LEO and powering it up. I'll mention your engagement contest as well to see if it gains any new people jumping in. It's too bad the person I onboarded only plays Splinterlands and does Actifit. He could of added to the numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's actually a good idea!
It could really help with overall engagement.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It might not make anyone rich but it does pay to engage.
Ill have to query @amr008 about how much LEO you made from your comments. That would be interesting to know.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will post it soon. Maybe todays stat section will be for that where you can request that data.
Will update soon
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be really cool to know!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea that would be really interesting to know. I tend to go around but there is a limit to the amount of people I follow (generally commenting here and my feed).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think he is working on another script to try and pull it all.
Any updates @amr008?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sounds like a great idea. The 60 LEO is what you got for making comments, but I wouldn't be surprised if you earned more than that in rewards for the comments.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That was for a few weeks, maybe a month. It would be higher if people would upvote the @leomarkettalk post.
All the money does go to commenters.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think I probably got more than 60 LEO commenting. I think I get roughly about 4-5 LEO a day from comments usually. Then again its over 100 comments just on LeoFinance a day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If I make at least 100 (meaningful) comments on LeoFinance per day, then based on your experience, I would probably earn at least 4 LEO a day (erring on the side of caution), which is equivalent to more than $2. 😮 Therefore, each comment would earn at least $0.02 in LEO (and probably also CUB) alone (excluding HIVE itself and other Hive Engine tokens). 🤔😅
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's actually insane growth. 120-150 LEO per month from comments alone. You're killing it!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's pretty good! It really helps materialize the value of engagement.

What's up guys? How do you see BTC? Personally I expect it to go down to $45K soon. I left a detailed analysis on my blog if you are interested.
Que tal muchachos? Como ven al BTC? Personalmente espero que baje a los 45K$ pronto. Dejé un analisis detallado en mi blog por si les interesa.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The only thing I know for sure is that it took me 3 hours to get a confirmation when I sent some BTC from coinbase earlier. That was the longest 3 hours I've ever experienced. It usually takes 30 minutes. lol
I think it will drop to ~$50K before it starts to go up again, and that time we'll see $65K.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@forexbrokr thinks the same as you, $50K before going back up. It's a pretty short correction, let's see what happens.
PS: why the heck did it take so long for your BTC to get to your portfolio? hahahahaha.
@forexbrokr opina lo mismo que tu, 50K$ antes de volver a subir. Es una corrección bastante corta, veamos que sucede.
PD: por que rayos tardaron tanto tus BTC en llegar a tu cartera? jajajaja
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just to be clear, I don't like making price predictions like this because honestly, they're nothing more than guesses. No matter what any pro analyst will tell you.
The fact that Bitcoin has held the $50K daily zone , is a good sign for bulls.
While price is above that zone, my bias is to trade from the buy side, but if that zone breaks, then I'll look to flip. The key to trading is staying nimble and always managing your risk.
Using support/resistance zones in this way can help you to do this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha, I have no idea. It was the worst thing ever. I thought it would be pending for the rest of my life.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And people still believe that Bitcoin will be used as a currency.
With wait times like that, how can it not be?
Hell they are starting to rival the banking system.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, it was crazy.. I've never experienced that before. It took forever.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahahaha thank god at least the BTC made it to your wallet hahaha
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, I'm glad it went through eventually.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wouldn't mind that, actually. It would be a good opportunity to buy some more at a discount.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see it the same way colleague.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know whether or not it will because I don't care if it retraces that low. I just know that it will probably take some time to consolidate until we get some actual news like BTC ETFs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have no idea. Up or down, it will do what it does.
If it heads down to the level you mentioned, I will have to add more to my GBTC holding which is already overweight but would be senseless not to at that price.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I think the same. Too good of an opportunity to pass.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We will see if it pushes towards $50K. If so, I will start to pull out my buying hat.

These guys cant help but to cross-pollinate. It is in their blood.
Look at Musk.
Although it does make sense. They can leverage the value and accomplishments of one to help stimulate the other. You can bet every Tesla will come with a Starlink hook up standard when that is ready.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think it would be nice if Musk can sell usage of his satellites to different providers. This way people can opt in to provide internet speeds at cheaper prices.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I honestly have no idea what they are going to do with Starlink or how they are going to model it. I am not sure they know at this point.
The goal seems to be to get it going before they consider much else, which makes sense of course.
I would love for them to try and monopolize the world or get a vast amount of customers by offering rock bottom prices.
How about unlimited internet for $30 a month. Get a billion people on the system and that is $30 billion a month in revenues.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I, for one, would love that.
That's more or less what I pay now, but I bet Starlink will have a much better service.

https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/19/flawed-data-is-putting-people-with-disabilities-at-risk/
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All of it depends on the premise and good training sets. If the training model is bad, then the AI will also be bad. Unfortunately this part still requires humans to filter the information.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
100% correct. I was working on a project once which was related to Bank data , the exact same thing happened . Our guide was so bad , he told to just pick 100 random data out of 1 million data and do the analysis , it sucked lol . It was totally off .
That's when I learnt , training model is very important and methods to choose that should be ideal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, that's where the bias kicks in. Because we don't have a lot of diverse point of views curating the data that feeds the models, they end up "flawed"
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Garbage in , garbage out.
AI can only proceed based upon the training data is has. If there are biases in there of any sort, it will pick up on them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I made a post about 2 month analysis of UTOPIS .
To be honest , it is actually doing great .
If you saw the post , I converted Hive to USD and posted the data and the recent payout was like 852 $ payment which I think is crazy .

That's good to hear. I will certainly get some this weekend and more in the following weeks. Thanks for the feedback.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's very good indeed!
I'm really considering investing in it also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As I mentioned before , I suggest you to look into it and buy some if possible before the remaining on the market disappears .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just get rich by HODLing. I think my average for UTOPIS is like 2.3 HIVE so the most recent payout gave me over 1.5% of it in a week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I love these type of HODL tokens , just buy and let the owner do all the job and wait for your payments lol .

That is an impressive total and should set you up nicely for the weekly Leofinance engagement league and @leo.stats weekly post.
It was Monday so a lot of time to add to that total.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i was amongst the top ten engagers last week. hoping to move up to the 5th position this week. and by the looks of things, it is very feasible.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are off to a terrific start.
Getting into the top 4 (well 3 excluding me) will get you into the weekly payout from the upvotes on the @leomarkettalk posts.
We are going to pay out to 3 people each week.

Nice job. Are you planning for another 50 today?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Judging by my current number of comments (41), I should hit 50 in less than an hour from now. Maybe another record-breaking day for me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Terrific. It is great to see you able to set back to back record days.
You made up close to 10% of the comments yesterday.
And you are at an even greater percentage today also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Glad to contribute in my little way. My internet is sort of slow this evening so I am having a hard time connecting. Notwithstanding I plan to hit 60 comments today, making it my ATH
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We like seeing individual all time highs. That is helpful.
You will certainly add more than 10% of the total comments in here today which is outstanding.
If we only had 10 more people like you. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good job. Is your next goal 100? I am waiting for you to catch up to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think he should. It is a matter of setting his mind on 800 comments and not stopping until it is reached.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol the robot in you is speaking taskie...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, anything is possible. At some point, I thought 25 per day was my limit but I was able to hit 60 today easily...i should get to that point sooner or later
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow! That's huge!
Excellent work everyone!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Shows the potential of microblogging . I was amazed to see the diversified discussion on yesterday's post .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, we are really up to something here! Can't wait for #ProjectBlank!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If we can add in 500+ comments in here a day, just imagine what will happen when Blank is released.
Keep in mind we do this with 15 or 20 people. Blank will have hundreds using it to start.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. When it's closer to launch we could start a game to try and guess the number of posts on the first few days lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it will be interesting to see how many of people quickly embrace it. I have a feeling it will be a lot.
Then, since it is tied to twitter, I think a lot of people will use it throughout the day. That means we can get into the tens of thousands of blanks very quickly.
I expect it to become one of the most popular blockchain DApps within a couple months.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt.
The idea of 50K comments in a short period of time is not absurd.
If there are a few thousand users, that number will be nothing to hit. Then think of all the upvotes that will take place.
A lot of activity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was a great day yesterday and we were doing quite well last night. Though our morning session seems to have dropped down a bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With the drop in the market, at least the price of HBD is moving closer to $1.
So I guess that is a positive. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol I don't like it. I would rather have it move upwards so I can convert my hbd to hive. There are fewer people who want to see hbd at a dollar. I don't know what the implications are if it stays above a dollar. Do you have any clue?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The implications are it will not be a stable coin and, hence, will not be sued for commerce at all.
This is a problem for the buildout of marketplaces. Hive would be well served to have a stablecoin on the platform if we can pull it off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't jinx it. You might cause those Koreans to pump it again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL they probably are itching to do it.
Push it down then pump it up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then they should pump it all the way to $100 so we can get like 100 HIVE for each HBD :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL that would really be a blow to the idea of a pegged currency.
The Koreans might do it though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
from a selfish perspective I would live HBD to go to the moon so I could accumulate more hive
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true. It does end up netting more Hive on conversion.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL that's true
I wonder if I should have converted some though
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha. We badly need our stablecoin to behave like a stablecoin.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We certainly have not had that. At least there is attention on it so this is an improvement.
Hopefully some of the ideas being floated will work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Over 400 with more than 7 hours to go. Excellent job everyone.
Lets go for 600 again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am just filling in some stuff before I focus on work. I'll probably come back towards the end or maybe for a break but I'll leave it up to you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just got back from my call. I will do what I can.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I finished my meeting so I got some time now. We are above 550 so we might be able to take out yesterdays result
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I believe we were just over 600 so it is reachable. Still an hour left.
And we know we have @amr008 cleaning up the mess when he gets up.
So I think we have a great chance of getting there.
Might have to keep it there and then raise the bar some more for people.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
By the way, I talked about this on the show with @jongolsen.
Hopefully a few more make their way over.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll wait for him to put up the re-run so I can go check it out later tonight.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm curious to see what the number of this week is going to be like.
We are definitely gonna break our record
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We are off to a great start. The first two days will put us at record days.
If we can keep it up through the week, we will certainly set a record. I dont know what the previous was but that will be exciting to put a new number up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know the previous number either, but I'm setting the commitment to break that record regardless :P
I'm 100% confident we are gonna do it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did another sweep and add a couple more. Gonna eat and take a break but I really think we got this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I came across a podcast that I havent had a chance to listen to but I wanted to get feedback from the people on here.
Here are the question that was discussed.
Do you think AI will be able to lead or govern? Think about the fact that our politicians set a very low bar.
What are your thoughts?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think they could. Should they? That's another question.
But if you think about it, they already govern some aspects of most people's lives.
They have a huge say in what people buy, what people watch, where they go, and so on. It's not hard for me to escalate that concept to higher levels.
Maybe AI could create very efficient governments but I don't know what kind of consequence could come with that.
I would also connect it to the topic I shared here about how even AI can be very biased depending on the context where it's created so there's also that.
It's an interesting debate, that's for sure.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well if code is the law, then we are looking at a situation where AI will be implementing what is coded.
You are right, AI is taking over more of our lives and offering "suggestions" as to what we do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think people vote with their feelings and it's hard to have an attachment or like the views of an AI. From an idealistic perspective I love the idea of an AI government with a lot of transparency and constant improvements over time
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Feelings certainly one part of the equation. Another is the fact they can be "influenced" through lobbyists and other money players.
Transparency is something that most governments and certainly few politicians want to have. They like operating in the shadows.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
At least AI could learn and grow unlike these narrow-minded politicians. But the problem is that it can be controlled by its creator which is dangerous imo.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is feasible if we can create one. I think the issue would be to protect such a program from being manipulated. There will be people who would do anything to hack it and use it for their selfish gains.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Make it quantum, then it cant be hacked. And it will be able to look at every answer to a question simultaneously.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think I would prefer an AI to lead over our current politicians. All they do is sit there and argue while getting nothing done.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah. I would take a computer over the bozos we had in office in the last 20 years. They have set the bar so low that it makes it hard for people not to want something different.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea and its a sad reality. They are essentially the number 1 enemy to everyone in the public. Remember that stimulus package before the election? I think we can blame Pelosi and McConnel for that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep. Trump was willing to sign it at the drop of the hat. Although to be fair he never met a spending bill he didnt want to sign. He liked to spend money.
As for Congress, I think that ratings peak somewhere in the 30s and head down from there.
That is like twice as bad as the cable comapnies.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would rather either 1) replace them with AI or 2) replace them with random citizens. Given them temporary terms and make it super hard for people lobbying.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Term limits should have been written in the Constitution with a clause anyone who tried to change it would be publicly executed.
Replace them all with a bunch of high school kids, they cant be any worse.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
GPT-3 was an amazing accomplishment. However, the 175 billion parameters might be miniscule compared to GPT-4.
That could be 30 trillion.
If you want some insight into how rapidly AI research is advancing, here is a good article from Microsoft.

A very interesting article that mirrors what I wrote about this morning.
What is interesting is this is not from a crypto news site but one that is a bit more mainstream. So the ideas of CBDCs not being in the best interest of populations is expanding outward.
https://newrepublic.com/article/161894/bitcoin-digital-wallet-currency-surveillance
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Governments will always try to find ways to control everything. CBDC is another form of shackle that the govt. is advocating about.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
CBDC is a godsend to them. They will now be able to track every financial transaction and monitor what people are doing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well the overreaching hand of the government is a concern for a lot of people. Even in the US, they can't seem to answer everything properly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes more people are waking up to what is taking place.
The fact that a non crypto site is questioning will bring some attention to what is going on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Leofinance.io going to get some love.
The bugs that are on the site are going to be addressed. If you see any, please let Khal now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Saw the tweet. I have been having issues uploading pictures on my post. Been using peakd to upload. So I hope the updates roll out so things can go back to normal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Did you drop a comment on the Tweet. I think that is one way to get the idea across to them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Some mentioned this in the comment section so I did not have to repeat it. I have also mentioned it in the discord server as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very good. That is on the list then.
That is the important thing, not who it comes from.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That sounds nice. Did anyone let him know about the comment loading speed when its over 500? I think its taking a while to load today too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No that is something someone should drop in the comment section. I have a feeling that is a Hive issue more than Leofinance. But perhaps they can tend to it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ohh that's great! I can't remember seeing any lately, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
