Those massive swings up and down on bitcoin just prove that it's still far too centralized. I still love seeing those pumps though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Those swings will probably keep on happening for a few years (maybe decades). At least until 2030 when the majority of bitcoins are mined and in circulation. But that's just my guess.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Volatility slows down as markets get larger.
Once cryptocurrency hits the $5 trillion mark, we will see things settle down. Bitcoin gets to $10 trillion and you will see it a lot less volatile.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That'd be great for mass adoption I think.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
two more halvings seems like many really hodl their bitcoin still
I am HODLing and buying more every day. Little drops of bitcoin make a mighty investment. I am following your cool strategy to DCA into bitcoin. It works great @bitcoinflood. Thanks. 😁🚀

Same here man
I wish I had more to invest, actually but I'm doing the best I can with what I got!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it will be never enough man.
Same. Just keep doing it and your investment will go big in no time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is it a problem of too little liquidity? If some are just removing their BTC off the exchanges and storing them away.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Could be I haven't looked at those numbers in a long while.
Or that it is still a far too small market to avoid the volatility.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can't have volatile up swings without the volatile downswings ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like the upswings better after stacking for 2-3 months lol
LOL.
Always nicer to have a bigger bag when prices run.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep. Markets move in both directions.
Too many seem to feel they should only go up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
heheh that's a good point
let's see where this new swing will take us

It's a shame that many don't realize this and can't resist staying in the crypto market.

Having 100 Hive Power allows a Hive user to publish more or less 100 comments every 5 days, assuming the user does not use up Resource Credits for posting, voting, trading, and gaming. 🤔

Biotech is really getting some attention recently. Here's another company working on accelerating protein sequencing. This could help to reduce the time required to develop new drugs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is amazing the progress being made on that front. AI is becoming a big player in the drug development field.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is an industry of constant development. This is very good especially when it comes to our future.

I don't know much about this industry but this looks really interesting. The CEO looks pretty young I like that.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome! Thanks for the update. Will start working on these two:

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Also just an FYI that I just added your Polygon vs Ethereum content into the final version of our Guide to Polygon (MATIC).

Frustratingly though, it doesn't seem to be even indexed in Google yet.

And you never answered my two prior requests for info on what was left so I question if you still want my participation in this or not.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey Kevin,
Sorry for missing the messages, I promise I didn't on purpose.
You're the one producing the most content for the guides, of course I still want you involved! :)
As for the rest of this guide, we're pretty much finished :)
You've done the 3, Fing is doing 2 and I'll do 2.
Let me do Introduction to Shiba Inu coin (SHIB) (just easier as it keeps everything in the exact same format at the start for the final version).
I'll also do Why is Shiba Inu coin dropping which is just a dodgy SEO play.

Question. What is your opinion on Polkadot? It seems like DEFI world is switching to it a lot in the times of ETH being too costly for transactions. Do you think Polkadot has some future?
Polkadot definitely has a future but it's technology is complicated. Using shards (parachains) connected to a central hub (relay chain) does speed up transaction times and lower transaction costs. However, there are several other projects out there with technology that is easier to implement (Cosmos, THORChain).
If you are really interested there are a ton of articles out there on this subject. Not to push my own, but its right on point for you (https://leofinance.io/@kevinnag58/thorchain-rune-vs-polkadot-dot).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cool man, I think I missed that one but I'll make sure to check it out as I don't really know enough about Polkadot

I know I am biased but I dont really see anyone catching Tesla. It appears they are so far in front and just getting stronger.
They has a record quarter in spite of the chip shortage and setbacks associated with that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you are right. It's hard for anyone to catch up to Tesla at this point so I guess all the other companies will fight to be the next best thing
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is good. Sadly my country isn't exactly EV compatible. However, knowing there will be cheaper EVs on the market is a good thing. Tesla might still be the king, but hey, everyone can at least get a piece of the action.

Lucid Motors is expanding their EV factory in Arizona. I don't think I'd heard from them before but it's not really surprising since a lot of EV initiatives are making the news recently.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lucid Motors is a big name in the US for EVs. Another start up though that might have issues.
Elon was explicit on the earnings call yesterday: doing a prototype is the easy part; scaling is where the issues come in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And he is right about that, I believe. Let's see if this one can get their share of the market or if they will be forgotten
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have been hearing about Lucid a lot but I feel like I need more concrete results before deciding to go with it. If I remember correctly, it used a SPAC to get on the stock market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess the presence of more EV producers means we'll be seeing a reduction in prices in the near future. I've still never seen an EV.

I regained my withdrawn 100+ Hive Power delegation, so I would be able to comment as often as 200 times a week, which translates to more or less 30 comments (depending on length) per day. 🤔
Even with that number of comments I could make, I still need to hold back from commenting too frequently. 😅 However, making one post per day is already a challenge for me! 🤯😅
Making one post a day can be really tough when your life takes a busy turn. But I realized that through engagement you always have ideas on what to write about. 30 comments a day is an awesome number. Keep up the good work.

I post every day on the D.Buzz community, where posts must be 280 characters or less (excluding the first 3 links) for them to show up on the D.Buzz frontend. 😀

(I don't think anyone will mind if you comment normally on posts on the D.Buzz community.) 😏
I find it hard using other front ends. I just stick to Leofinance and HIve.

More regulatory news:
Regulators just forcing their citizens from safer options like Binance, to dodgy offshore exchanges to get their margin trading kicks.
The cat is out of the bag now and people are always going to trade.
If they want to actually protect their citizens like they say, they need to move toward opening and educating people properly, instead of just banning.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The day will come when no regulator will have full autonomy to decide what to do with encryption. Banishment can be your tool these days, but one day even that won't be enough anymore.

Tesla with a stunning quarter. Here is the package that the company put together covering their earnings.
Tesla Earnings
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
from a struggling company to a thriving ecosystem. Shows you the power of building a community and vision.
They certainly did build a community. The Tesla Fanboys are a dedicated bunch.
I forecast that it will be the largest company in the world by the end of the decade.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very interesting report. The solar initiative seems to be doing well also, which is something I really like to see.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The energy division did better. Still lagging in my opinion but they are getting closer. The battery constraint is hurting there.
Reports are there are $500 million in Powerwall orders that cant be filled.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Any TLDRs? I didn't really read it all but the price action seems fine
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oooh! That's why their share price is rising!
Also, Tesla did not buy more #Bitcoin in Q2. They also didn’t sell any. So that's a cool thing as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No their Bitcoin position remained the same.
Musk did not add on the drop, at least not through Tesla.

It is interesting that everyone is talking about competition for Tesla with EVs. What makes this viewpoint difficult to substantiate is we see one of the largest car companies in the world pushing Congress to SLOW down the push towards EVs.
Toyota pushing Congress to slow down EV advance
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That sucks. If they can't keep up, bring the competition down by putting a stop to technological advancement. Lol, nice strategy though!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Isn't that how incumbents always do it?
They cant compete so they turn to the government to protect them and their market share.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They should wait until the same government F them up when things go south.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, that's messed up but it makes sense for Toyota... if you can't run fast enough, then make everyone else just as slow so you can catch up
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Unfortunately for them they are chasing Tesla who is operating in overdrive. They are churning out all they can and everything they make is sold even before it is made.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well if they do, maybe those legacy automakers can catch up.

Yeah they need time.
GM wants to produce 1 million EVs by 2025.
Tesla will be at about 5 million by that time and growing at 40%-50% yearly.

A magnetic helmet that can treat brain tumors? That could be possible soon.
The fact that the patient died due to an "unrelated accident" doesn't help the case but if they can make it work, it could be a very effective non-invasive treatment for brain tumors.

This would have been a lot cooler if the patient didn't die. They could claim it was due to an 'unrelated accident' but I wouldn't be willing to give it a shot. It's an awesome development though.

Makes a person think that CUB needs to make sure it's code is solid before going too crazy with development. The problem with code is you don't know what you don't know, which is why this guy left the message he did. Hopefully Thorchain learning this lesson the hard way will prevent Cub from having to learn it that way as well....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it's a great lesson for Cub Finance too. Before hackers move their interests to us, we need to put all safeguards in place. The more, the better.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, very true. We gotta be prepared for a threat even before the threat is real
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. Prevention is better than cure! With growing interest in DeFi, scams are also increasing in numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great point
I hope everyone has this in mind next time they miss a deadline. In the end, it's for the best.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cubfinance is getting the code audited so they are doing what they can to prevent hacks. They are also using contracts that are proven to be solid.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it does. It already got hacked twice on the ETH side.

To be honest I hear a lot about Thorchain but I own zero of it :/
I have no stake in that either. Khal loaded up. I am not sure he is concerned so I guess it is nothing. But it is sure bad publicity.

That's a smart move. I think it will make Thorchain more secure and trustworthy! It sucks to see such a great project targetted by such hackers. I have heard that they even offered a bug bounty to the hacker in return for stolen funds.

Elon taking jabs at Apple? I have a feeling the app store issue will still be an issue on Tesla's store too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He called Apple a "walled garden" 😂😂 That is actually true!
I think the same.
I didn't know Tesla was doing something like this. But it will make their network stronger and it's great for the development of EV industry.

Yeah he isnt a fan of Tim Cook and his company.
Elon being Elon I guess.
What the hell, he had a great quarter so he can be a bit snippy if he wants.

No shit Sherlock.
Amazing people do not understand it.
DeFi by definition cannot be fully regulated.

Yea I don't understand why these traditional economies can't understand.

Keynes

Lol, just imagine a banker admitting to this fact. By the time regulators get their head around regulating something that cannot be fully regulated, we will be far ahead. It's out of their hands already. They must embrace it as it is.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, financial regulators are playing by a set of rules which are no longer relevant.
They need a total overhaul of how they operate.

Exactly!!!

I think it's gonna be a while before people can actually understand the underlying concepts of DeFi.

Too early to call for demographic risk for the United States.
In spite of 2020 being a down year for births, it is too early to call for a demographic crisis in the US. This is not the case in some other countries around the world.

Wasn't the latest results showing that the growth rate is 0%? I would say we are in danger of it turning negative. At that point in time, these guys have to find a way to justify it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was still in the positive. One thing the US does is it can keep growing (or did traditionally) through immigration.
The challenge there is a lot of the central and south american countries are seeing a decline in their birth rates.

I guess we'll have to wait for the pandemic effect to be nullified before we can make something out of that data

It concerns me a bit that he has so much power to use it however he wishes, but I think he is fundamentally correct.
Even though we still have a long way to go on the AI path, I believe it will enable some pretty crazy stuff in the future

Amazon will not accept Bitcoin
This is a good thing. People do not realize how bad it will be for corporations to start to compile all the Bitcoin.

Yea, I saw an article by edicted the other day where he addressed that and it made a lot of sense.

Tesla "only" took a $23 million impairment on Bitcoin.
This was expected to be much higher. Some forecast that the earnings would be hit with over a $100 million charge.
Seems Tesla bought BTC lower than people thought.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's also the tax concessions, because of their business and tax concessions when they declare Bitcoin they declare it at the lowest amount in that quarter not what it currently sits at.
It's absolutely BS where as us regular folk have to declare the value at the time of lodgement.

Lol, what a bummer! Amazon has come out and flatly denied a British newspaper's report that the e-commerce colossus was planning to accept bitcoin payments. 😂
They are still testing the waters in the background.

While many hedge fund managers are bullish on cryptocurrencies, not all of them think alike.
The Man Group, CEO Luke Ellis just compared cryptocurrencies to tulip bulbs, referring to a 400-year-old bubble. 😂

Training workers for a world that wont exist by 2030
With Industrial Revolution 4.0 taking place, we are seeing a shift in what the workforce needs. However, will these new skills that they are being given even going to be applicable in a decade?
