Total Value Locked (TVL)
$11,978,264.26
Across all Farms and Pools
Looks like we will hit 12 million very soon, that is so impressive to see, how high will it go and what will it mean for the price of Cub and LEO?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I decided to go to presearch and check CUB crypto. It leads to Crypto User Base (CUB) and not the CUB we know. I wonder why they went with the name CUB when it is taken.
I think CUB could take off. Right now it only acts as a Defi and exchange but I think there are a few other ideas for more layers. This could possibly burn more and add more value to the users. So I think CUB could be $50 or $100 in the future if everything takes off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We crossed the $12 million level. Actually over $12.1 TVL.
A great start.

Silence on that front. Seems like that fell into the abyss.
By the way. 8.25% of the CUB issues was burned.
I wonder how much LEO was also torched.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No news yet so I think there are problems they have yet to solve. This means its highly likely we will have to wait till April to see Project Blank. If everything was going well, they would of already started promoting it already.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hope it's not too long, the wait is killing me! Just think how great it will be when it launches, a whole new thing to learn all over agian.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know how long but I really did wish there was some updates. Because we don't know anything, we can't even guess how long it will take to release. I do prefer a refined product so we have no choice but to wait.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I guess we are experienced already in that aspect lol .
This post has given us such a practice to microblogging that when the projectblank releases we will be the masters over there .
Also as far as learning new thing is concerned , I don't think it will be drastically different than LeoFinance , don't you think ?
The only feature I am expecting additionally is - better use of #tags and searching .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah... it doesn't look like it's coming before April.
I hope we at least get some update on the plans next week or so...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I agree. We need to have some serious updates next week about where things stand.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely. I am pretty sure they are refining the system but the lack of communication is concerning. Now that Cub Finance is out, I hope we get some updates on the other projects and not just some summary of cub finance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If it will create time for perfection, I think August is not to late.
Let's just keep pushing here on Leomarkettalk while we await the blank
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Whatttt August ? No way that's too late lol . Can't wait for that long ;p
March end or April first week .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it will be released that early unless they have some major updates on fixing bugs. The previous announcements were saying it was no update. I don't know how long we can just keep pushing it back before the crowd loses interest.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Considering it was suppose to be out by the start of this month, I think August is a bit too far out. If that happened, I think people would think its all hype and no substance. Right now people are craving it but in 5 months, I don't know how many people would be willing to hype it up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess there is not much we can do but wait, build up the hype and prepare for it, but I really hope it launches waaay before August.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think they must let us know in case there are actual problems :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the major problem. They haven't given us a clue on why the system is not ready to be released. If they did, nobody would be complaining. If we know the issue, we can roughly learn how long it will take to fix it as well. This way we can hype it up on other networks and get people in on Day 1.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess we can see the same trend as CUB with Projectblank , once it released all the comments and posts will be just related to that and nothing else at all . The 1st week will onboard many new users onto Hive is my guess. But whatever it is , I can't wait anymore though .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it will onboard many users but I wonder how many will filter their way into the HIVE ecosystem. Also since most of them are geared towards short-form content, I think we are going to need to be on the watch out to give advice.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True , I wish there was a bot which when called would tell basic stuff .
Like example : call !RC - it will tell about RC .
call !voting help - It will tell how the voting works etc etc.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Blank has keep it everyone in suspense.
That is expected because black is a big project, and will need a lot of chronic thinking and vast brainstorming if it will bring better user experience than the known social media we have now.
So I will admonish us to sit back and relax, the team are doing a great job.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All I do is open cubdefi , see if it over 1 CUB to harvest
if yes then harvest it , stake it , close it .
REPEAT .
No idea but hope it's soon , I am tied of waiting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It feels weird seeing LBI so cheap on the market. I literally just sold LEO at the ask price and bought LBI at the ask price. This exchange turned 4.803 LEO into 4.905 LBI. I could of got a better price waiting but I didn't want to let go of the chance when LBI is worth less than 1 LEO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a pretty good deal you got, I had a bunch of liquid Leo I was going to through into Lbi, then that dang Cubfinance launched and soaked up every token I could find in all the dexes I'm in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is because Leo has just risen and has still not gained balance at 1 Leo - 1 dollar, LBI houd be regulated as soon as Leo settles a little
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but I think the major reason is what @taskmaster4450 said about Cubfi burning LEO tokens. If they are, they might be pushing prices up due to the lack of liquidity and this is the reason why the prices have not corrected.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, that's is true, this means anybody selling he's Leo now thinking Leo is at it's higher, haven't seen anything yet because cub has just started and will keep burning.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I was selling LEO because the ratio of LEO:LBI was less than 1. This means LBI is cheaper than a single LEO. The current rate of exchange for LBI is 1.1:1 so anything less than 1 is an obvious good deal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well as long as they are selling LEO for Hive , it makes sense or as jfang mentioned sell LEO for LBI ? Makes sense but anything other than that - they will regret according to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I saw on cubdefi.com that CUB was burned . I didn't see how much LEO was burned from the team though .
I can pull some numbers to see them but at the end the summary is there will be less liquid LEO and hence price soars .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I forgot to add that there are some people who want bLEO so they are buying up the supply of LEO to convert. I think there is a window before it no longer feeless. Either way, there will be less LEO on HE thus prices go up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The amount is 20% of the total taken in.
80% going to burn CUB, 20% in LEO...actually bLEO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I bought LBI in the exact same way . Cheap LBI :) It will pay me dividends forever now .
This is why i constantly check the prices of various tokens now and then because sometimes people would have dumped too much to buy some other coin and it throws an opportunity for us to buy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There are deals out there at times. That is what happens in this situations. People try to arbitrage, one reason to keep selling directly.
However, when a few cheap ones show up, grab them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes there are way lot of them happening per day, it's good to have some good amount of liquid at every time to take advantage of situations like that,
The liquids are just going to be converting from tokens to tokens to bring short time profit, it might bring lost too
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I might have to keep more liquid HIVE on deck for situations like this. This way I can capitalize on cheap investment tokens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And take advantage of time to time trading
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea LBI at a price lower than 1 LEO is a bargain. I'll be on the lookout over the next few days to see if it stays like that to add to my LBI. Since I know it won't stay that way forever.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Makes you wonder why one would want to sell, especially at a discount.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it may be some people who got it for cheaper and are reselling it higher due to the high spread. They are probably thinking that they can make more by selling now and buying it back at a lower cost.
For my buy/sell, I finished within a minute and I did not wait for my order to fill. If I did, I likely would of gotten LBI at a cheaper price. The problem with doing so is that you are taking the risk of it not filling and prices turning back to normal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt. There is where greed can cost. If you believe in LBI long term, grab it. No point in fretting over a few cents.
The idea is to add to your holding, if things run we will see big gains that will more than offset whatever the extra cost.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's a huge deal, people buying at the moment will have an undoubting mind of future profit
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Looks like EVs might take a hit again. I think most of the prototypes are probably fishy since they haven't been tested by real people yet. The entire Nikola fiasco was pretty bad then they hit Kandi. So Lordstown seems to be next. The difference between them is essentially the fact that Tesla has actual cars and has no need to fudge numbers.
https://www.investors.com/news/ride-stock-short-seller-hindenburg-adds-lordstown-hit-list/?src=A00280&refcode=Organic%20Social%7CTwitter%7CTwitter%7C2021%7CMar%7CI.com%20Article%7C0%7C%7C423695
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Are there any peniltys for this type of twisting the numbers? Is there anyone that can be trusted anymore?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If they are falsely filing numbers to the SEC then yes, there is a lot that can be done.
That said, if the company is just stating it got an order for X number of vehicles, then there is really nothing that can be done. There are a lot of reasons, often legitimate, why a deal falls through.
So it is all in how they are lying.
In the meantime, the shorts can do a lot of damage to a company that is fudging the numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The penalties could include some criminal charges for the higher ups but these things tend to be looked into by the SEC and the feds. So I expect fines and stock price to drop. In the best case, we can expect some jail time and maybe the stock to be removed from the market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The difference with Tesla is they have registrations that people can pull and tie it to VINs.
A lot of the start ups appear to be outright frauds. I guess that is to be expected.
As a Tesla shareholders, seeing some of these pretenders fade away is probably a good thing.
That said, nothing is going to keep up with Tesla. If they get autonomy in the next 2 years. game over; they just changed the entire model for the automobile industry and generating profits.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the problem is that there are too many people jumping on the EV train. I don't know how many of them that are real and which ones aren't. The market for EVs will explode so if you can pick some good secondary makers, you can make a decent amount of money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The fact that Tesla made it does not mean it is any easier. Granted EVs are a lot easier than ICE to break into, much lower cost to set up. However, there is a reason we went 100 years without a new automaker selling 500K cars in a year. It is a tough business to get into.
Sure Amazon could do it since they have so much cash flow and credit. But it is not for the weak.
And a lot of these start ups have grand ideas. As Musk will tell you, it is a lot easier to design software than it is to build lines to pump out cares on an increasing basis.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but the thing I like about Tesla that the other dealers don't do is direct sale to the consumer. I hate the car dealers whose goal is to rip off as much money as possible.
As for the cars, even Tesla has some faults in their cars and given the need to build everything from scratch, the initial costs are huge. You need to blow plenty of money and spend years to recoup the costs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Any other start up that makes it will not be going direct. In fact, I would not be surprised if some of the traditional automakers start to drift away from the dealerships at some point.
Tesla has an advantage there. The manufacturer sells the car to the dealer who marks it up. Thus, Tesla can either keep the extra profit or drop the price by what the dealer is making.
Either way, they come out ahead.

It looks like some people are not happy with Elon Musk's Twitter activity...
https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/12/elon-musk-tesla-board-sued-in-lawsuit-alleging-erratic-tweets-violate-fiduciary-duty/
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The fact is that, no matter what a man do, people wool will complain, even since when Jesus was alive.
Tesla is and will be the first of its kind. It's actually the beginning of the future of technology in its own field, what do you expect?. Terror is no way he won't increase the price as long as people find his designs worthy of the money they are paying.
Abbey at the same time Tesla doesn't have many competitors yes, and even if it does, it's way ahead of the game
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What a jackass.
The stock was up 700% last year and the company is off to a great start this year. They are rolling out more lines which will pump out more cars. Musk is signing deals with nickel suppliers all over the place.
And this guy sues over tweets.
$20 million to Tesla is a rounding error.
Hell they are probably up 80% on their Bitcoin purchase since early January.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That Twitter can be a problem, I mean just look what it did to Trump. Why do these people not see what a bad idea it is to Twitter like that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Actually Trump used it to his advantage for his term. It was only when they closed his account that things got hairy.
Of course, that is what is opening the door for ProjectBlank to get in and start to make some noise.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If anyone can actually bring Trump onto Project Blank, then we can definitely see an explosion of users. Though its highly unlikely, it would bring our desired outcome of more users. I don't know how badly it would affect the politics going on in HIVE though. It would be a huge mess as people start arguing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That brings up an interesting point with Blank. Will we even see a lot of that stuff?
On Twitter, much of what takes place is outside the view of people if they dont have followers retweeting it.
Twitter is more fractures than other social media. That is why a lot of the Twitter army is actually operating in an echo chamber. They are basically promoting Hive to each other.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the traditional big tech platforms have become echo chambers. They decide who gets to talk and what they talk about.
I would like to see the change but at the same time, I dread to see the fallout that happens because of it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, my thoughts exactly
Tesla is making more and more millionaires year after year and yet people still complain.. go figure...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah the one who filed the lawsuit problem has millions in his Tesla account yet still wants to make a name for himself.
Or perhaps he has very little stock and is kicking himself.
Either way, Tesla is going to be the largest company in the world if it gets autonomous driving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well they are jealous. Elon Musk knows the right things to appeal to the retail mob. Those PR people at the other corporations wish they could get that type of hype so I am not surprised at them attacking Elon Musk. They want to level the battlefield so they have more of an advantage.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
To be honest he does say some crazy stuff on twitter, don't know or care if they're lawsuit worthy but just trying to say he likes to pump stuff up like a lot of people

Time to go for a freaking record.
I know it is the weekend but none of that pesky work stuff to get in the way. Sent the kids away, kiss the wife on the cheek and tell her you are busy.
Lets get down to business.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, the weekend is the time we should have the most interaction. I noticed a lot of the new users I was looking at were from Dbuzz. which explains the short posts I saw. I think that Dbuzz is a good fit with Blank. Mabie the two could merge or something in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think DBuzz said they were open to cooperation but Khal turned them down. DBuzz has its own issues but they are working to fix it. In fact they want to split long-form and short-form content and some other stuff as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Different technologies. DBuzz uses posts to post. That is a killer for the app.
Who wants to use it that way?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know what you mean, It's too bad Dbuzz shows up on your regular blog. I think that's not a good place for it. If you could tag it with your microblog it might work if they changed it to being its stand-alone front end.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep messes up feeds. There is also an issue with the timing.

Good to see you @alexvan. It was a long week with a lot of ups and downs. Exciting though.
Although 3Speak is still down.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good to see you to. Yes, it was a full week in here and also outside. Leo got an impressive boost by CUB. Imagine #projectblank then! That would be a rocket for the community!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
#Projectblank is the biggest thing that will take place on Hive since its birth . We are already ready to take part in it , market it etc but I am getting tired day by day .
Any announcement regarding it would boost my enthusiasm .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would have to say Steem engine was the big gamechanger to me, it opened up so many doors. I can't believe the SMT's never happened, we were all so hyped about that. Now it's like meh, who cares.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hive-Engine is a great proof of concept. I have a feeling it will be topped over the next couple years.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yeah that can be considered as a game changer for sure but it just didn't appeal to everyone .
When we talk about onboarding new users , mass adoption of Hive , #projectblank will do more good to Hive than what Engine did is my guess.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This was one of the bigger, as it showed the utility of the never born SMT's.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Going to take a month or more is my guess based upon Khal in the AMA he is on now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, this is also a good news, as we have now the CUB, and we still have at least this month to gather and stake more LEO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If it is the biggest, I don't know, but it will be a big game changer!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Projectblank is going to be huge. People do not realize the promotion that will get. There are so many waiting for it, that the second it is released, people will flock to it.
We will be able to start canvassing the web for people to use it. They are all over the place.
The key will be to have a solid application without bugs. Even if the features are a bit limited to start, if it keeps crashing, that would not be good.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I still wish they would have finished Blank first, now we have no idea when, I wanted to powerdown a little bit to raise cash for the defi pooling but am afraid the snapshot will be soon.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The lack of clarity is causing problems. People have financial decisions to make and they cannot do it without any information. It is getting to the point where the communication, once an asset, is now a negative.

Not to mention all the learning that happens here!

A lot of people invest a lot of money in prolonging life. Google has a department that is only researching this as both founders are obsessed with living longer. When a lot of capital is poured in, magic happens. Here I hope that the average Joe will benefit at least a little from this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Most of the tech billionaires are dumping big money into it. They all have something to do with longevity.
Although this is a bit different since it is dealing with programming DNA, which will obviously correlate to life extension.
Either way, by 2040, things could be a lot different.

2040 will be a lot different, I've read about a project which aims to transfer the mind into computers so that it can live in there. And no, it was no SF book.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think Biotech as a huge future as technology develops. Some of the companies such as CRSP have some great technology and if its successful should revolutionize how we use medicine. As both equipment and knowledge on the human body increases, we will definitely see major advancements in medicine as well.

Yeah. I think the cancer research is amazing. They are working on actually rewriting the genes to prevent the spread of cancer.
I think we will see some amazing breakthroughs in the field over the next 20 year. Unlike the computing era where we were not accustomed to looking at the pace of progress, we are well aware of it now.
It will be fun to monitor this industry.

That is amazing indeed.
Having lost dear people to cancer, any initiative that aims to fight this disease is worth my attention. I hope they make good progress on that field.

Do you think Artificial General Intelligence is possible?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is possible. However, there are a lot of moral and ethical questions associated with that subject that would have to be addressed but technically speaking, I believe we can get there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That might be true but what is we are merged with the technology/intelligence?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is probably a better approach. I believe we are slowly going that way already so maybe the "transition" will happen more or less naturally.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We are already transitioning. I am from the school that believes we are already merging with our technology. The internet is basically a part of us as it is. Sure we use external devices like phones but they are always with us.
By the end of this decade, we will be so into Ar/VR that we would be able to separate the world from the Internet since it will be woven over the world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, I think like that as well.
Our phones, smart-watches, or whichever device one prefers to use, are pretty much extensions of our bodies. It's only a matter of time for them to become indistinguishable parts of ourselves.

Maybe down the road in like 50 years , it is possible but I don't think ethics can be filled into it though . It can't learn certain stuff which are unique to humans , if it can ? then we are doomed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, even if it is very tricky without a moral code built in, or a kill switch.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It may be possible if there is enough data and if the models are improved. Given that the speed of computation is increasing, I think general intelligence is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Yea I don't want it connected to the internet. All you need to know is some guy in Facebook or Google is controlling the sensors in your clothing. If they don't like you, they can make your life uncomfortable until you change clothes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Means more data the big tech platforms can steal from us under the guise of a product. Who knows what they are planning to do with that information. My guess is that it will be used for marketing but they could also be selling the information to medical companies.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Did you see that 23 and Me was acquired by a Wall Street hedge fund. A million DNA samples on file.
What do you think they are going to do with it?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think they are going to sell the information over to China. Isn't it obvious that they will chase the money. China has been collecting people's DNA from all over the world when you do those heritage tests. As for what they will do with it, I have no idea but I don't think its good for ordinary people.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am sure they are going to sell it multiple times. Not only to China but to US companies too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's an interesting application of technology in daily life.
To be honest I don't think the use cases they mentioned would be groundbreaking just because they are in clothes but the concept of having a piece of fabric hooked up with state-of-the-art technology itself is impressive to me. Lots of possibilities.
Imagine a football coach getting real-time data from the team through their smart uniforms and being able to adapt the strategy on the go. That's probably a very simple use of the technology but it makes you think of what could be achieved with that.

Yet another crypto pizza history has been written.
In the early hours of 13th March 2021 a Domino's Pizza kiosk set up by Lastraum in Decentraland was used to for the first ever successful purchase of a pizza from within the Metaverse, paid in MANA tokens without leaving the game and the pizza getting delivered in real-world by a drone..

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have been waiting for that HBD pump as well. I personally wouldn't mind seeing HIVE at 10 cents so I can load up but I think many people would freak out.
I wonder if that HBD stabilization project is working. I have seen that HBD has been consistently around the same price for the past week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah a HBD pump would be better but I doesn't seem likely anymore
Always tough to find entry points. One of the hardest things in markets. That is where automated or dollar cost average buying comes in.
Timing markets is very tough. More than once I was caught waiting for a better entry point.

it's more fun than to dollar cost average :)
It can be a very profitable approach.

the bond bear market is about to actually get worse...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another possible indicator that people are losing confidence in government. If the Bond bear keeps going, things could get very ugly with the debt. Government debt is already bad all over the world. The US is looking like it is following that path.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
investors are beginning to get scared of their investment on the bond market due to the bearish trend,and also surely many people are truly loosing that confidence in the government,but what irritates me is that the government keeps pretending that all is well...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The bearish trend has been in place a while so it is nothing new. However, the lack of confidence is reaching new heights.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@taskmaster4450le what annoys me is that some of the leaders still pretend like all is well
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Honestly I don't think the current economy can take higher interest rates. Our economy and businesses thrive on cheap interest loans. Many of these companies are struggling paying off a few percent interest. In order to make up for this, they need more revenue. This means increased prices but looking at the economic data, prices are going up but the businesses can't offload the cost to the consumer right now.
Either way if the bond bear market happens, I expect a huge problem to occur in the economy. Not to mention the government raising taxes to pay off their interest.

4 more 3D printed homes heading to market. I wrote about this a little while back.
It might take a while for people to embrace the idea of buying these homes. Like anything new, there might be trepidation. However, once people get over the fear of them, they will move like hot cakes.

Yea my cousin was super bullish on housing and he doubled down on getting houses during the lockdown. I wonder how exactly the re-pricing of land and houses will end up looking like. I have a feeling there are plenty of people, including those environmental advocates, who will use their full force to stop mainstream adoption. I wonder if their usual tactic of the building isn't environmentally safe will still stick in the big cities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This form of construction is a lot more environmentally friendly that the traditional avenue.
But you are right, they will sue anyway.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They will sue since they are after the money. Environmental organizations want their achievements, competitors want to delay their opponents and labor unions want their expensive members to find work.

I think when they start printing the tiny homes they will have a greater chance of mass production. this has been a trend for a while. A lot of people would like to live without a mortgage these days.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The company that is doing these did 50 homes in southern Mexico that I believe were about 700 square feet. They were small but solid.
Yes the tiny home craze is real.

I would like to have one that is attached to a big barn, this way the barn can be a part of your house but the cost of living stays very low. It's funny how big they look inside.

Need the land first.
But overall it is a great idea.
Have the barn as space for all that you need it for.

I would definitely live in one of those!

My brother wants to give a try to NFT . He has couple of good photos that he wants to tokenize ,
what's your suggestion ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I've been meaning to give it a try as well. I'm trying to read some articles on the subject to learn the basics but didn't get too far yet...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you ever decide to go ahead and do it , let me know what is the procedure you followed .
I will see if I can get on lensy.io ( because it needs application filled out ) .
If I get in , I will let you know how I did it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Deal!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You can try NFTShowRoom or AtomicHub on WAX block chain. I personally think it's easier to sell if your doing it as a business on WAX. It's where the big guys are playing around with their packs, game NFTs and many other independent artists are flocking to. He will have to depend on himself to promote the work and have other people buy though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I approached NFTShowroom and they redirected me to a new site which the team has launched purely for photography . It is lensy.io .
I checked out WAX recently but didn't really give much thought to it , I liked the idea of staying on Hive itself since I know this in and out .
As far as promoting by himself is concerned , he won't do it . He told me " I will give it to you , you sell it and give me the money "
Sad life.

the Biden administration signed an executive order for the replacement of the entire fleet of federal vehicles with US-built electric cars, vans and trucks;

Everything changes very quickly in this world!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes it does change very quick. The only thing is we will end up paying the bill for electric vehicles. There was a reason why the USPS choose to go hybrid setup compared to full electric (due to costs). I guess it just means they will up our taxes to make up for the deficit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Taxes are going up anyway. Biden just about promised that.
This Congress is excited to stick it to the American people. Not that most Congresses dont but we really have the loons in there now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but even the USPS has to worry about their budget since it takes forever to ensure they are funded. This is especially the case because of their pension liabilities. However Congress has no limitations so what they are doing is not good economically. I feel like they just want to pass more of the costs over to the ordinary citizen.
I do agree taxes will go up because of Biden. Its just dumb how people are just now starting to complain. In the end, the ordinary citizen is dumb for thinking Biden is going to change what is the norm. Now the issue in my mind is: Will wages stay stagnant or will they continue to grow? I think it will be stagnant.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wages, for the most part, were stagnant over the past couple of decades due to the threat of automation. Now that we are actually seeing automation being implemented, I fail to see how the wages will ascend.
Isn't that the truth?
What is amazing is he advertised what he was going to do...well what he is being told to do. And now people are starting to get upset at what is being done and he acting like a tyrant.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the biggest issue is Lithium right? I heard that supply-wise there isn't enough right now. Especially since other people are starting to branch into using it as well. It is possible that a huge shortage could cause very heavy problems down the line if the miners don't step up.

Batteries for EVs require a lot of that one too so Musk is always on the hunt for more of that.

Another celebrity bringing tokenization to the forefront. Terry Crews bringing out $POWER.
How long until this trend takes off?
https://btcmanager.com/terry-crews-power-crypto-celeb/
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it's a great idea. Maybe we can move away from the banks and rich people as investors by doing so. As for how long, I think it will take years. The reason why is because people don't like to change so it won't be mainstream until there are some success stories mixed in.
I wonder if investors will get paid or is there only price involved? This means if he does well, the tokens price goes up and that's it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Success stories are always required to get people to change. Of course, once things start, we see FOMO kicking off.
People will change, it will just take time. The Internet did not happen overnight. We are seeing the process start but it is very slow.
The next few years will see a building of the momentum is my guess.

Terry Crews always struck me as a smart and nice guy. I guess that feeling was right.

I like this farming too, I think I ran out of places to pull crypto from, I'm going to have to power-down if I want to go bigger. I should just power it down until the first one comes and then stop it I guess. (Dammit @khal) Tell us more!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It looks like it will be at least a month if that helps at all.
No clear timeline but Khal is looking for a major announcement in the next week or two. If we are two weeks from an announcement then it will at least be a couple of more weeks in my estimation after that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, I heard on the podcast with crimsonclad it would be a week or two until an announcement, that made up my mind to get some of my Leo in liquid form. I have to be in the game more!

How much CUB are you generating every hour on an average?
Where are you getting more CUB from ? CUB-BNB or Bleo - BNB ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have been getting about 3 to 4 Cubs per hour between all of my pools dripping in. I made more last week in the pool than I make at my job. I wish it could last but the Roi goes down every day and from what I hear it gets cut by one-third on Monday.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The hope is the token value will go up in USD terms as the lower inflation means less selling pressure.
If the CUB get to $50 apiece, it will be great to see.

Are we starting to see the loss of confidence in government hitting the bond market? The Fed had a couple of rough auctions. This does not establish a trend of course but it is worth monitoring.

ProjectBlank is going to be at least in April. Khal was just on an AMA and it seems like he wants to get an major announcement at the next week or two.
That puts us near the end of March.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's good to know. Maybe now people will stop asking "Wen Project Blank". I am guessing once the snapshot is taken, project blank is guaranteed to be soon after. Which was why I was surprised that CUB had its snapshot before Project Blanks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Trying to read in between the lines on the AMA, it seems like there is a lot of back end work that they are trying to do.
It seems like they are having issues with the new data structure they are bringing to Hive.
Just a guess but that is what it seems like based upon what he was alluding to.
