Cold war with China? Well the actions they are doing is basically going to hurt a lot of financial interests around the world. I don't think these investors are going to like losing money because of Chinese stocks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A very American centric view of the situation.
The reality is yes, China touches the entire supply chain but that is changing after COVID. Companies are diversifying their production.
It will be interesting because the Chinese are exporters, that is their entire economy. The Chinese cannot upset their customer and guess who their largest one is...the US.

Should the spell book needed to start earning NFTs and DEC in Splinterlands cost more?

Reminds me. I have some starter cards from something, Steem Monsters maybe?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then you are able to airdrop.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It may qualify. You can always check your account to see if you qualify.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No idea. Missed the #splinterlands train, at least the early opportunity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe you haven't lost anything, if you like the style of play, I'm sure you will quickly build a good deck and earn great rewards.
With the opportunity to rent cards, this undoubtedly increased the chances that any player could succeed in the game with little investment. This will help new players a lot.
The SPS airdrop for example will be annual, every day we will gain the token so whoever enters later won't miss out on opportunities. The new expansion is also coming. A game within a game with the implementation of lands.
Well, it's still worth joining my friend. Of course, if you like this style of game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you still have time if you want.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With this huge wave that is having in Splinterlands, I could already imagine how many opportunities the game brings for just $10. A while ago it was discussed whether this value was quite high compared to other games that don't require anything to start playing.
In order for more people to enter Splinterlands I don't see the need to increase the spellbook. Leaving at what value you are will attract a lot more addicts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I don't think it makes sense to increase it yet. But if they do, they should give people a month to sign up before bumping up prices.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be fair in my opinion. Good idea!

Did anyone experience a glitch with the LeoFinance wallet (or Hive Engine)?
I logged in to my -.buzz account to check that wallet in order to transfer to my primary account. Knowing that the -.buzz account has very little HP, I expected a low quantity of Layer 2 tokens in there.
The -.buzz wallet shown by Hive Engine was OK the whole time.
However, to my surprise, I saw that I had over USD 359.00 staked in LEO in there!!
After numerous refreshes, the -.buzz wallet according to LeoFinance showed what I was expecting to see.
I was about to track down the transaction where I saw that large stake when the glitch fixed itself. I didn't see any black cats here or in my apartment, so I have no idea what happened.

This is neat. I'm only just learning of it. A kind of in your face way to get HIVE out there on Twitter:

That's great to hear. I'm starting to see an uptick on Hive-related tweets and posts I'm promoting on Twitter. The tag issue they mention, may be why I'm not seeing the Hive regulars as often.

The CTPSB challenge is going to be starting in a week. If you want, you can start saving up some CTP or start making posts to earn some now.
https://leofinance.io/@ctpsb/ugfuwseu
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The CTP community has always intrigued me, but I have never really got involved.
Do you mind giving us a rundown on this challenge?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The rules last time was to enter with a screenshot of your staked CTP. Afterwards any CTP you staked between that period and the end of the event gave you a portion of the reward pot.
It was kind of meant to get more people to create CTP content and stake it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I didn't even know about this I've been powering them up. I do delegate to brofi though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Last time it was just staking so if its the same, just sign up and you will get some bonus rewards for doing what you normally do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is this different to the CTP token? I just had a look at my holdings and it is different to CTPSB or something.
CTBSB is a separate token and project. It is build around the CTP tribe though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I try to accumulate my CTP tokens, the community has a lot of nice people and I admire how involved they are.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you for the heads up. I took part in the last and it was good fun look forward to doing it again.

Oh no! Tether (USDT) Executives are facing criminal bank fraud charges. This is going to get dirty since Tether a direct competition to Digital USD (CBDC).

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Tether has been under a lot of suspicions recently and the interest in CBDCs just makes it worst for them. Digital USD would definitely need them out of the picture in order to thrive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well Tether itself is centralized and considering its to to BitFinex, I think it was kind of expected since the government wants to hit stable coins. It probably has the easiest information to pursue and try to get.

BTC affecting stock earnings? Well it does make sense that BTC being on their balance sheet will reflect on their public earnings. Will this deter companies away from BTC given the volatility?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Looks like a great tax concession for a business trading in cryptocurrancy. This massive drops means that corporations don't lose because they can offset their losses. It is the everyday people that lose the most.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Actually I am wondering if the corporations will use the wash rule exception to make their profits smaller and reduce taxes paid.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's a business so I rekon they'd be able to claim a loss at tax time and offset against their bigger investments. The house never loses, the people do.
I don't know a lot about tax law it's why I hire someone to do it for me lol But I caught wind of a potential loophole for crypto at the moment here in the USA anyone else know if it?
Since crypto is considered a "property" to the FED it's not like a stock so it can be sold and then bought right after without waiting 30 days like with stocks. That being said what some are doing is selling the crypto at a loss and then buying right back in thus pretty much eliminating any taxes.
*It should go without saying this is not financial or professional advice lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I've been hearing about legislation bring proposed to tax unrealized income-- gains made on paper (or in the ether) which haven't been translated to earnings by the act of cashing out. I don't know how true this is, but as some famous people have said:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Pretty sure there is already something in the courts looking to eliminate this. IIRC it had to do with them trying to tax you on things you earned from staking. In other words, they want us to pay taxes on the CUB we receive without us ever selling it. That would be pretty ridiculous since you would never have an actual price on when you received it. Like I said, there are already cases in the courts. I think task posted something about it a week or two ago....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My frist impression was that the government is tying to take its cut of the cryptocurrency market. While it would also apply to paper assets such as stocks, crypto is notorious for the astounding gains (and losses) it makes.
On top of that, enforcing that legislation (if signed into law) would requie yet more growth of government; we don't need that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the loophole has been there for a while. Since they don't really keep track of your crypto earnings, you basically only tell them the net gains/losses. So if you sell and buy back in before taxes are applied, you can avoid the taxes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The other day I received rewards made in PAY token. I don't mind receiving rewards, but I have no idea where I was when I earned it or how.
I know enough about how to track down the source of my earnings made in HIVE, but I'm doing something wrong in looking for the source of my reward in Layer 2 tokens. It's a lot of transactions between time earned and time payed out, so it can take a while to track down.
How do I trace the source of a payout I received in a Layer 2 token?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is what I love about Hive. I see new tokens from time to time and wonder where in the heck I got them from. The growth of specialized communities allow us to earn an ever-expanding group of tokens. It's a feature I like very much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
UPDATE
I was able to track down the source of the earned PAY tokens using the LeoFinance My Wallet interface to Hive Engine. I commented on a post I saw in LeoFinance which was tagged to a number of other places (Palnet, Proof of Brain, and Political Hive).
Along the way I figured out how I was able to earn Layer 2 token rewards for content I don't publish.
On the bright side, I can take that payout I recieved in PAY and delegate it to @brofund.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
OOPS....
Hive Engine won't let me delegate PAY tokens. I can only stake them.
So bummer.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Delegations should be going to @brofi if you want BRO tokens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I went to bed before I saw your reply. I just undelegated, but I have to wait for the undelegations to be confirmed and approved before I can make correct delegations to {@ bro fi}. Thanks for the clarification. Earliest chance I get I will make the 3 delegations to {@ bro fi}.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I noticed a few of those in my wallet too but I had no idea of its existence.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, same. I would look at them next year if they are worth anything. 😂
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll take my chances and gift them to others. That 4.4e7 of WEED accumulating in my wallet is more useful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you find yourself commenting on a post where one of the token tags is PAY, now you know where they come from!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sweet :)
Do you know if that's a new tribe or something? I never noticed that in my wallet until recently
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I remember reading about #political-hive earlier in July. I forget whether the post was in LeoFinance or Proof of Brain. July 22nd is when I earned my PAY tokens, so I'm guessing the post to which I commented was made no earlier than July 14th. It must have been before the 14th that the #political-hive announcement post was made.
I'm sorry for being fuzzy on this. I wasn't planning on acquiring PAY tokens, and then one day I end up with PAY in my wallet and I had no idea how I got it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh don't worry about that. I was just wondering if you knew more about it. Thanks for the information!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Question.
Is there any chance that in near future we would be seeing the FOREX like mutual funds? I mean once the crypto makes FIAT digital version. Is there any chance of FOREX industry having mutual funds or it already has?
The FOREX industry is likely dying. If the major currencies are reset, then the FOREX market is destroyed just like the Japanese and European bond market.
We will see fund with baskets of crypto. We are already seeing that with Grayscale.

The UK making a push towards CBDC
This is not unexpected. It is happening all over the world. The proposals for a shift to "cryptocurrency" is taking place.
Of course, they mean CBDCs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Even India is thinking to launch their own CBDC project and research work has been started already. It's happening everywhere like a trend.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder what will happen with Bitcoin, Litecoin etc. when this push matures? Will they try to squeeze the life out of it via regulations?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The idea that CBDCs will change a whole lot doesnt make sense to me. Outside the control, which I understand for politicians, I fail to see how it will change things greatly in terms of economic performance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's not about performance-- it's about control and power.
For people like us, nothing will change except we're using digital fiat instead of paper fiat.
For politicians, it's a big deal:
Along the way, busybodies will nag you relentlessly for that spiked quintuple-fudge double banana split they noticed you bought 2 days ago while you tell everyone else to to make ice cream out of almond milk.
There will be unintended side effects from the switch to CBDCs-- especially Digital USD-- but I have no idea what they could be.
This could be the one time normal people consider the drug traffickers the good guys-- that's how insane it could get.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Even the Nigerian government mentioned something like that a few weeks ago. Well, for Nigeria it's an outright joke.
Seeing the 'progress' China has made with theirs is bound to fuel push other governments to take it seriously. What's going to be the effect on crypto as we know it though?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It will make it difficult I imagine for a while. However, it does open the doors as more people will get accustomed to it.
The key in my opinion is to keep building open source, decentralized things so the regulators and governments cant do anything about it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think its obvious that every government is pursuing this line of thought since China was the one who pushed for it first. Of course we aren't exactly sure if following China's example is the best though.
