So in the US we have tipping as part of the custom when we eat inside a restaurant but when I was in places like China, you usually leave nothing. Does your country have a tipping custom and does it make sense?
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/22/leaving-a-tip-is-an-american-custom-why-thats-a-problem.html
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is making me think back to my time in Germany. I still don't remember if they wanted tips, but we Yanks left them anyway as the service was so good.
I will never forget the girl I had at a local diner. Despite never having served me before, she:
You can bet she deserved the $20 I left her. I've never had service like that anywhere else. People like that deserve our support.

In Brasil we have something that we call "the 10%". It's a custom to add 10% of the total amount on the check (some places "suggest" 15%).
It's not mandatory to do so, but if you don't it's either because you really didn't like the service or you are just being rude.
I don't think it makes a lot of sense because we don't tip the waiter directly. It's added to the check and we pay the full amount and I know for a fact that a lot of places take a huge cut of that tip that is supposedly for the waiters, as their base wages are not that high.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that's nice. In the US, some people tip and others don't. In the nicer places, its almost expected that you tip but you can tip less if you don't like the service. But in the lower-end places, people just don't tip sometimes.
In the US, if the waiters don't get enough to match the minimum wage, the manager/owner is expected to pay the others. But if tips are good, the manager can avoid paying out that portion.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's an interesting system.
What I don't like about what we have here is that sometimes the waiters end up with a very low portion of the "tips".
But yea, in lower-end places it's not as usual here either
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know when I was younger and worked in the restaurant industry while in school, the wait staff always complained about Canadians and Europeans who rarely tipped anything. If they did, it was a buck.
They simply did not understand the concept since it is not in their countries.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It happens in the US as well. My parents ran a low-end Chinese restaurant in the past and sometimes those people don't tip either. Then again, they are people living on the edge and buy the cheapest thing to fill their stomach.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here in Nigeria, tipping is not common as things get expensive and most people barely afford their meals before even thinking of tipping.
People who tip most like have something attached, it's either they want to feel big among others or they want to attract attention from the particular waitress or the person offering them services.
Almost nothing is done for free here, though there are still some people with clean heart but very few
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I know China has zero tipping custom so it's not everywhere. Even in the US, people tend not to tip in the lower-end stores so I understand that they do not have the spare money to do so.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly

I was tempted to enter DKNG or PENN on the stock market but I have been putting it off to side for sports betting. I think it seems like a good idea to build a position since it should still be a part of the future. Anyone else have any opinions?
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/22/goldman-sees-the-online-sports-betting-market-worth-nearly-40-billion-by-2033-how-to-play-it-.html
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I was thinking about DKNG back when they were at about $35. Never pulled the trigger and regretted it.
I think the business model is sound and it has a good future. They will be able to ride many waves like betting on eSports.
People will bet on anything so they can really expand.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I agree. I bought DKNG a few months back before the pullback and didn't set a stop loss. I ended up lucky that it went back up and sold out for a decent profit.
I didn't get back in after but it just seems too high and the risk/reward just doesn't seem as nice. I might just wait for an algo trigger, have it be above the 50 DMA and then buy an option. I just don't want to bag hold.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I havent looked at this in like 6 months (well maybe 4), it was a while.
It had a great run so I kind of lost interest.

Tesla just can't seem to get a break. They are innovating the industry so there are problems some flaws in their equipment that are rare but needs improvements. For some reason, I felt like the article was specifically to hurt Tesla's price rather than highlighting the news.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/22/tesla-whistleblower-on-solar-fires-interviewed-in-cpsc-probe.html
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Musk certainly is one who seems willing to cut some corners in an effort to keep up the pace of expansion he wants. I guess he takes the same approach as most companies: we will do what we want until caught, drag things out in court for years, and then pay a fine.
That is what the banks have been doing for decades.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I wish he would fix that problem but he isn't perfect. At least he is developing game-changing technology and pushing digitalization forward. It may be way too fast for some in the industry though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do too, flows comes. One is not expected to be perfect from the on set, that's where improvement comes in
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe he is playing on another level entirely. This is the problem that most have, they do not get what he is doing.
That is why the Ark outlook gets laughed at. The Wall Street crowd simply do not grasp what is in the works.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The Wall Street crowd just wants to continue life as normal but it changes every single day. It's similar to how Warren buffet won't enter crypto because he can't see PE ratios there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah and I guess for a lot of years there were choices in those matters. One could still hold onto old views yet not be left too far behind.
I dont think that is the case anymore with things moving so rapidly. Many are going to find out that, when they were out to lunch, everything changed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehehe that seems to be the standard big corp playbook
Ff you think about a country where corruption runs high and the law is not very efficient, things like that will drag even longer
And it's not rare that they get a pardon and just get away with it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Most countries are like that. It is just a matter of how obvious the players are in it.
In the US, it is hidden a bit but is there. They use lobbyist to basically bribe the politicians. Companies also have the regulators in their pockets.
Thus it is a system where much of the government actually serves the corporate interests only.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There is always a downside to everything, I feel Tesla should have tried to close up the gap even though he would not tell the public about it, no body wasn't to link out his or her own secrets. But the fact that he sacked Hinks wasn't a good step knowing that he has their weak point at hand
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nobody is perfect. The fixes could either be too costly or they did not know about it until after it started selling. The technology is all done in-house and there is only so much they can do before finding out in the consumer's hand.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
User's experience.... It's a major factor to be considered in an improvement role
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We were remiss in sending out the payouts the last two weeks.
Looking back @amr008 had the most comments each week, thus is entitled to the payouts of the pot.
The payouts before todays were 57.469 LEO.
That is being sent to his account.
Next week might be something different. To try and shake things up (and spread the wealth out a bit) we will look at a new model.
So all should aim to get in the top 2.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess it should mean I should try to maintain my 2nd place. I think it should spice things up a little bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You're doing really good, I do meet your footsteps everywhere in go on hive, i wonder how you manage to put everything together, but at the same time I respect you for that. 👍👍
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just checking in from time to time. I have been slacking off on my other stuff a bit so I might have to pull back a bit from checking as often.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Weldon brother.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the goal. To try and add a little spice.
Cant all be @amr008's little piggy bank.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True but I think he has been paying out most of his post payouts directly to the engagement project.
It would be good if this change causes more people to comment here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah , till the end of the year I might do the same unless I get any better idea to fund the projects .
Right now I don't take any curation reward , no dividends , let the project grow .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are a good one @amr008 regardless what anyone says about you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
First half of the comment made me happy but second half is making me doubt myself lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol guess who is going to make here their second home? Me!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol I hear you , this has already become my second home and I am really glad other users are hopping on right now :)
It just makes discussions more interesting .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is good to see.
We look forward to you being here each day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow, no problem, it will definitely be my turn someday, but for this week...... I give it up as I will mainly be available early in the morning and late at night to reply to all my comments. Day time is gonna be busy
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Right. You will be having some exams, aren't you? Or was that someone else? lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, exams.
For the next 3 weeks.
The good think is, I am in Industrial design department where we do a lot of practicals and less reading.
And once you have practiced over the lecture period, you really don't have a lot to do to prepare for exam, unlike theoretical departments.
That's why I can still give in time even though exams are on
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ahh that's nice then
Good luck!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I loved practicals in my school and college days . I hated reading books lol but the upcoming exam which I have taken needs lot of book reading and 0 practicals :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't worry. Just make sure to drop by and leave a few comments to help the conversations moving from time to time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sure, I will
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll try to do my best to get up there but these guys are no joke! Gonna be quite a feat!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you very much .
Out of the 57 LEO , I have sent 25 LEO to @jfang003 because well he deserves it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
great to see such community spirit :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hehe , would do that to you too if you weren't cheating on us .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did warn you guys I would be busy this week :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hehe was just kidding. I totally understand. Don't stress yourself too much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I never stress when I'm hanging around here :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the LEO. I'm gonna power it up so I pass out a little bit more during curation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't mention , to be honest you deserve it more than me . If it wasn't for engagement project I would have sent more .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's ok. I wasn't expecting any and any increases to the engagement project increases the values of the votes for everyone.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true . I am trying to reach atleast 1 LEO per vote at 100% so that the project gets more visibility , so far we are just half way there .
I am just imagining what would happen if we are able to reach 5-6 LEO ( I am not greedy lol ) per vote at 100% . That will definitely attract more users , don't you think ?
I know 5-6 LEO sounds too much given we are at just 10% of it right now but we should have a goal always right.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea having a goal in mind helps you stay motivated and imagine if LEO was worth $5 then even a partial vote will give dollars. I imagine there will definitely be many people participating more in the engagement project.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
😂😂😂😂 yes i do understand you. Its just terming up to make this place better by sharing
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just keep going. That is my approach. I simply put my head down and type. Let the chips fall where they will.
Over time, the amount of LEO earned (and other tokens too) goes up. What that does for VP varies since it depends upon how much is staked and used for curation.
Nevertheless, it all does add up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sharing the love. I like!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hehe , that is what LEO community has taught me I guess :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sharing the wealth.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's what you taught me master .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
At least more people would be encouraged to want engage more and i love the fact that we always want the way forward on this platform
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah but even without the prizes I guess commenting is very rewarding . If you look my latest post where I posted some data , we can see that LEO is getting distributed in a good way .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a way to learn about others. Most do not see that. It is a way to follow the path of their success and hopefully, mirroring it oneself.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Engagement comes from within. It truly is the desire to interact with others and follow along their journey.
Few seem to understand that.

So do you think BTC will be 300k by the end of the year? I think its possible but I think it would take a bit more accumulation.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-price-could-plunge-after-another-surge-crypto-entrepreneur-says-btc-2021-3-1030231627
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think bitcoin will hit 300K this year. Besides Tesla, it needs another BIG endorsement. Hoping Apple takes the plunge but so far they've been radio silent.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There are a lot of companies that could do it.
Apple is just one. Any other tech company that enters could serve a similar purpose.
For example, although not as big, Netflix would be a statement maker.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it could be a few mid-sized companies in the stock market as well. Maybe a triple leverage BTC ETF would be nice for fees and satisfy those gamblers on the stock market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Saylor is convinced that most will jump into Bitcoin.
Not sure how accurate he is but we will see. I think there will be many but maybe not as many as he thinks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea... I've been seeing some rumors about Netflix jumping on it. It's been a while and I'm not sure if there's been any development on that front, but it's always a possibility.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think the biggest reason why is that BTC isn't good as a payment method. It is good as a store of value and you want something less volatile for payments.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
$300k seems out of reach for me. Maybe $100k max. That is doable in the next 6months. We can also have other major investors come in to push the price of Bitcoin even further.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think I read it would take almost $100 million to bump BTC by 1% and that grows bigger as they pump up. It will definitely take institutional support to pump BTC at this point.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wouldnt go that high. I believe it will hit $150K.
But if the right momentum starts going, it is possible.
Few foresaw $60K and yet we hit it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I thought 60k wouldn't appear until June but it didn't dip as much due to the Gray Scale and other people buying the dip.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmm I wouldn't bet that high. I'm pretty confident it will break 100k and moderately confident it can go as high as 130 or maybe 150.
But then again, like it's been said by others, I thought 60k was a little further down the road and yet here we are.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it's tough to tell since the markets are unpredictable. I personally don't think we will see 300k because it would like another 5x from the current prices. It has already pumped quite a bit since last year too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree. It's unlikely to see it this year. To be honest I'd like it to pull back a little so I can buy more before it breaks a new ATH hehehe
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good luck on a dip. I personally do not plan to convert fiat. I want to challenge myself and keep my exchange accounts separate from my HIVE account. This way, I know exactly how much I earned from HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Probably this time next year, but for this year I doubt that BTC hits $300,000.
Tesla's $1.5B investment did a lot in bitcoin and even brought more investors but wasn't enough to push it to $100k.
I think BTC will need a lot more to reach the $300k.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, either the financial institutions, big corporations and wealthy traders buying in is required to push prices further. I think it will reach 300k eventually but I think the chart needs some rest before attempting it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It will definitely reach $300k.
Time is just the factor
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True but it depends on how high investors stake into btc before it can reach that amount
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
300k is too optimistic thinking . I would stick with 100k , it is also a great achievement .
300k maybe in 2 years or so once all the countries make up their mind .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For what it is worth, Raoul Pal believes it can reach that level.
Take it as you will.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but I find he thinks of things on the macro level so I think he is looking out at years in the future and no this year.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He put $300K within 18 months. I forget when I saw him make that forecast, but it was a while ago. Perhaps he is looking middle of next year.
Either way, I am not going to get upset over 6 months.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I won't either. It's a long term investment and most of us who bought a while ago are all green. So even if it dips a bit, I don't care as much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is anyone else invested in the Liotes project?
They paid their first dividends today. It's still a very recent project but it seems they are on a good track. I hope it keeps growing.
Dividends announcement post if anyone is interested:
https://leofinance.io/@liotes/vuglpfjo
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I have some LENM staked but I haven't delegated to them yet . I am currently using my HP to delegate to @leo.voter only and many of my curation accounts so right now I won't be delegating to it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I got some LENM staked after you told me about Liotes and showed me how to stake the miners hehehe
No regrets so far!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They are doing good so far , did you enter the form they asked ? It is not mandatory but it will help them to get feedback . It is about the LEN shop .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No! I think I didn't see it
I'll look it up
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
https://leofinance.io/@liotes/zgvxycak
Here is the link , no need to watch the video , just filling the form would be fine -
Form link - https://forms.gle/hxgubayuEr3a7kRo8
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I have heard of the project and I bought 2 miners. The dividends are for delegating HP and the reward for doing so is LEN tokens. So instead of relying on luck from the miners, you can get them more consistently through HP delegation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea!
I happened to get lucky with the miners, even though I only have a couple, and a small amount for delegated HP
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can I know how much LEN you got ? Did you calculate the APR ? I would be interested in delegating to them so .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe they said in the video that the APR is at 5% right now but they are looking on ways to increase it
I only got like 0.6 because I don't have much atm
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh okay then I amn't missing anything . I would really hate if the APR is above 40-50% and I am not involved in it .
Also if you have only 0.6 LEN and those are from mining , in which token did you get paid in ? ( the dividends )
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's better than me. I barely got my first lottery a few days so I only got 0.3 so far.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The owners itself has huge amount of LEN which actually gives us less chance to win .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its the neat way , I wish delegation was enabled on this miner so that we could have made a pool and sent out LEN to everyone every week . Unfortunately no miners except WORKERBEE have delegation enabled.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I like the WORKERBEE pool since its rare to get one without over 100+ WORKERBEE staked.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly , the breakeven for all miners are same meaning if you have invested 10 Hive for 1 miner or 100 Hive for 10 miner , the break-even for both are same .
But only if you don't consider compounding . If you consider compounding the large miner holders have too much advantage .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But there are issues with miners as more are released over time. So if you don't continue stacking, your chances of mining will drop over time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes that's true :( I have some 80 STEMM in my other account and the price of STEM just dropped like crazy so my break-even is like 6 years now and it seems like after I bought many others bought it too lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I am not involved in that one. Simply too many projects popping up to be involved in everything.
It is great to see so many starting to enjoy some success and people filling their bags through these newer options.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a great project , if you wish to get involved all you have to do is buy LENM ( Miners ) and stake it .
You can forget it after that .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have too many other things I am watching and waiting to get involved in so I am going to pass on that.
I am going to see if people start dumping CINE. That one is going to be a winner.
Am thinking about adding a few more UPTOPIS.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I added more UTOPIS , I was trying to reach 50 but now went past 50 because of the consistent APR .
Yeah I totally understand .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I added 8 more myself. Not a ton but slowly increasing the total.
I hope he either stops selling them soon or he seriously increases the income earned.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He told he is planning to hardcap it , around 9k UTOPIS is left I guess in the sell order at 3.5 , once it is done I think he will hardcap it , he was mentioning it in his discord.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A sea of red for most cryptos but Hive is holding up pretty well I must say.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes that is good to see. After the pump, the dump wasnt so bad.
LEO isnt holding up so well. First time I saw it follow the market down. Usually it does its own thing.
Anyone think it is because of the lack of news about Leofinance and other subjects other than CubFinance?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Isn't LEO heavily influenced by the price of Ethereum because of the liquidity pools there? Ethereum is down so maybe that's it. I'm just guessing though...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is although that is where the trading on H-E can help to counter balance it. It is also why they have a big difference in price sometimes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but in order to take advantage of the price difference, you need to have quite a bit of capital since ETH fees are quite high. I am not sure about whether or not bLEO corrects faster or not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes to arbitrage it that is true. And it really is a lousy one since H-E is so non liquid.
However there are price differences between the two.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well this makes me think that LEO is less tied to Hive right now when compared to ETH , don't you think ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think so as well. Mainly because the gas fees are too large on ETH unless your trading in large amounts. Given the lack of liquidity in the market, you have to calculate whether or not there is enough funds and tokens to change.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Certainly. Leo is on a league of its own. It is tied to so many projects it is almost impossible for just one to be a determining factor to its price action.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True , that is better in my opinion , it is not good to be tied to one particular token . If it is tied to many , then traders will have good opportunity and hence good visibility and volume of LEO .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that's the plan with khal has in mind. To tie Leo to different blockchain. We slow become part of everything this becoming harder to kill.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the way it should be . That's why I am all in for bhive , we need Hive outside Hive to stabilize Hive lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Having some LEO in your wallet will be very good long term.
I can almost guarantee it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder if bLEO and BNB factor in.
Probably not since that isnt listed anywhere yet like on Coingecko.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the words from the Feds scared most of the American public out of their positions in crypto. It should rebound if BTC rebounds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I noticed that yesterday too, because I took time to study some crypto both under hive and outside hive.
Hive did not pretty well with an increase of 35%. Steem also with 55% rise.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Only difference is Hive price pump is development driven :)
Perfect time for me to dump all STEEM for HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's very nive. We need some consolidation right now before the next big move.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Didnt get it. The price spiked up again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can it hold? That's the question on everyone's lips. Well it is good seeing some hive pumps. Wen HBD?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No HBD shouldn't pump like that . It would defeat the purpose of it , I know SBD is around 7.5 $ but it should be 1$ , it is not a happy news for the STEEM supporters but unfortunately they don't understand it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I dont get the Steem versus Hive fight. It is over. Move on.
Hive is simply doing its thing, which will end up dwarfing the development on Steem. They might not like it but hey, get busy on the keyboards.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think there is just too much bad blood between the people. I personally don't like what happened but if it could just be passed on then it would be for the best. The prices of everything crypto is just pumping and it makes no sense to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have you ever lost anything when upvoting ? :P
This is another gem from publish0x's FAQ. Btw ignore the steemit part and read hive instead :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you can in HIVE. When someone later downvotes the same content, I think you lose your curation rewards. It's just a system so they don't have any problems with downvotes hurting people financially.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
agree but you still can't lose anything when upvoting :) also it's better to get a downvote than to be deplatformed for whatever reason
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah well the way Hive is expanding means that these other platforms are going to be left in the dust.
We are seeing things rolling out at an incredible pace and that is terrific.
A lot more to come.
Few will even know that site in a couple years...actually both of them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm starting to see some odd posts overnight where they're not even trying. Two or three lines and maybe a pic. Maybe they're new people? I don't bother commenting, so don't stay around long enough to find out.
I'm talking a post the size of the above paragraph. I mean, come on, a little effort goes a long way. Instead of a post, it would be better off left as a comment on someone elses post. Hopefully things will get better with time, because I sure as hell don't want to see a repeat of the Polish downvoting gang we saw awhile back. Better to withold your upvote instead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it's probably related to DBuzz since they have a 280 character limit on their front-end. You might be able to bypass it by using a different front-end, but maybe you should just leave a comment. I tend to just ignore them most of the time and if I do vote, it will be a small percentage.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah, I hope that's it, it would explain why I'm seeing these seemingly abbreviated posts on Leofinance at 2 in the morning! :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah but jackasses using a microblogging interface to post on Leofinance, a long form site.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I dont even acknowledge since they dont belong on Leofinance since they are short form content. They are using a microblogging interface to start with.
They are tag spammers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I personally don't vote many of them because its generally recycling articles and nothing really noteworthy. There are a few good buzzes but I think most of them posted aren't anything I am interested in.
There have been some tensions between HW and them again. It is quite complicated but if it what they do there is applied to other posts, then they might be able to flag 3speak, actifit and other posts as well. I think it was bound to happen.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hi guys!
I just did a giant bullshit lol
Always before commenting, I select the answers and vote before and open a window to make it easier to comment ... I don't know why but I was voting on the comments at 100% instead of 5% which is the usual ...
Good thing I realized before my VP dropped to 78% :(
I think it happened because I was using the @coiotes account before and as the configuration is standard there and I didn't update the page, it happened ... Well, now it serves as a learning experience.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I don't use multiple accounts so I generally don't have this issue. I would think that account settings would transfer but maybe something happened. It's good to know about it now so you can be careful in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was a learning experience for me, my experience lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ooops! hehehe
At least you probably made some people very happy with that big 100% vote!
Well that happens to the best of us :)

Hahahaha ... it's true, but I'll be more attentive to the next one, because I couldn't do the curation as usual.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yeah it used to happen to me too sometimes when working with multiple accounts but now since all my other tribe accounts automatically upvote ( engagement project ) this is no longer a problem for me .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah ... I have to pay more attention to the next time hahaha ..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you haven't upvoted a lot of people then you can reverse your upvotes , just go to the same post and decrease the percentage and vote but yeah the author wouldn't like it lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's true, I already knew that, but just like you said, the authors wouldn't like it. I wouldn't think so myself :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have done that before. It is easy to do.
I am sure those you upvoted are very appreciative.
One day I took the LBI account down to like 30% doing that. I didnt realize I was giving comments a 20 LEO upvote.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow! 20 LEO in the comments really a lot of people were super happy!
That day you spent a lot of VP to reach 30% lol ... I'm glad I realized as soon as possible or I would be at least two days to recharge my vote hahaha ...
I'll be more attentive next time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The people who got those upvotes must of been very happy. That 20 LEO upvote is definitely an amount people wish for per post.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am sure they were. I did like 15 of them before I even noticed.
Zapped the VP but handed out some nice payouts in the comments in one of the LBI posts.
Shows that it is worth posting just for my fuck ups.
I did that another time, but only laid out 2 or 3 before I realized what I was doing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well at least it ended up in LBI holder's hands the first time around. This means some of it may of made its way back to the LBI-coffers (either by higher votes or exchanging for LBI).

@brofi APR today -
CCC APR = 6.859
STEM APR = 29.025
LEO APR = 14.898
CTP APR = 15.576
LOTUS APR = 69.814
WEED APR = 5.911
NEOXAG APR = 143.165
HIVE APR = 33.239
CINE APR = 6.758
Decreased APR for STEM , increased APR for NEOXAG . New addition - CINE
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I saw STEM drop down way further on the voting list. I don't know how things will play out with APR as they change their votes almost every single day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly , that is what I was referring to yesterday too , there is no proper math behind all this I guess , which pool much get how much BRO , even if there is - they haven't made it public so it is difficult for us to make a decision .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very interesting. It moves around like a bunch of marbles.
It will be interesting to see who things settle down. We might need to give it a month or two to know for sure.
Nevertheless, it is a great project especially considering there is curation taking place and we are typically sending tokens over we are doing nothing with (at least I am).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They said on discord that eventually all the delegation enabled tokens will be added to the pool which will actually make it difficult for things to settle down .
But yeah maybe a month or two , will keep everyone updated with APRs and other stuff .

I just checked out CineTV for the first time tonight and dropped my first post there. It's about the sitcom The Office, so check it out if you are a fan. And if you aren't check out the community anyway because it's pretty cool.
I was impressed by the level of activity on such a new release! Looking good!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Watching The Office is in my to-do list . Have watched a couple of episodes here and there but don't know the whole story . Will check it out . The tribe is already having a lot of activity .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you won't regret it hehe
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good deal. I will get to the later today. I have to stake the rest of my tokens and will give it an upvotes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Congratulations to those that won. Kudos. I hope you'll are having a good time. It's really cold and rainy here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely :)
I don't know what you are talking about .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It might be in reference to the payout from @leomarkettalk for the most comments.
Just a guess though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I read an article ( can't get the link, it's paid subscription ) that Indians want to move to EV but right now most of the cars are too expensive and lack of infrastructure is enraging them . Right now the electric bikes are in trend ( but they are expensive too compared to petrol bikes ) since they are used for short distance travel and can be charged at home .
If these two are fixed ( cost and infrastructure ) they will happily shift to Electric vehicles .
Tesla is expensive right ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes EV right now is more expensive. In the US, one of the reasons why people are buying it is due to the credits you get back from the government. Otherwise, I highly believe people would buy gas cars because its cheaper.
More expensive than average. There are plans to lower the cost of production and later the price of the car. But I think it will take a while.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What do you mean by this ? I am not aware of credits .
Here most of the people who told they would shift to EV are worried about air pollution ( most of the highly polluted cities are in India ) .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It means you get paid back a portion of your purchase. In California, you pay in full first, then you submit applications to the government. They then pay back somewhere between 25%-50% of the cost. Without this, I don't think many people would buy EV vehicles given their cost.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh okay got it , here it is called subsidy , only a few states in India are providing that for EV .
Here it works in a different way , the companies must claim it from the government and they sell the car to customer at discounted price itself .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is what it is, a subsidy to incentivize people to buy EVs.
There is both the state (some) and federal credit that people can use. California has an aggressive credit, probably the strongest in the country. I think, unless they changed it, the federal subsidy ran out when the manufacturer sold half a million EVs. Thus Tesla and GM dont qualify.
That might have been changed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Interesting . Here the central government has stepped in recently and hence they might start providing subsidies too and they have started building infrastructure now which is a good thing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The prices are going to come down. It will follow the path of technology. It is a rather common trend.
Presently, the big barrier is batteries. They are still costly as compared to the whole.
If they can break that price wall in the next year or two, we could see the prices drop a ton.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that is true here to reduce the price of petrol and Diesel they are using ethanol which seems to not only decrease the price but also the pollution and also incentivise farmers because it is extracted from sugarcane . So yeah technology eventually overcomes all the problems .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They did away with Ethanol here a number of years ago. It dawned on someone that it was just as environmentally unfriendly to have biofuels as well as economically. They ended up with a food shortage.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The food shortage part came up here too because in order to get the required amount of Ethanol the area of harvesting sugarcane must be expanded 10x more here which will decrease other crops area but seems like the government is going ahead with it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I got the CINE airdrop now - 7.57543 , it is 1:100 LP .
Check yours and also the pooling has been enabled for this on brofi itseems .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good job, you are in the game now.
Smart idea of letting @brofi handle it.
I am going to manually curate there so I am staking mine.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am thinking of investing in CINE as I got very less amount .
Since it is managed by Bro team and you yourself are involved I don't think it will have problems faced by other tribe tokens so.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What do you mean? What problems?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lack of usecases . Most of the tribe tokens are dumped easily because of no usecase but I think with CINE , BRO team will find it some usecases .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I got mine as well. I just delegated it to brofi for some returns.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hive on a roll.
It seems to be at 75 cents on Coingecko right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The market is so irrational. I wonder if its just trader or investors that are buying in right now. I think its most likely traders who are going to dump it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agreed.
My guess is the Koreans. They are known for playing these games. It seems they tend to push HBD up first then pump up Hive. They did the same thing in the past with Steem (and might be doing it now).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How far do you think they will pump it? $1, $5 or even $10?
I think they will pump it to $1 and pull out right before it. Everyone expecting $1 and fomoing will be left holding the bags.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Any news on why this is happening? Hive going up is not surprising, but the rate and speed it's gone up is.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Buyers, probably out of Korea if I had to guess, pumping the token price up.
I dont think it will last but who knows.
If nothing else, it gets Hive some attention.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Holy shit HIVE.
Look at that pump. Over 60 cents.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it will fade back down. There just wasn't enough accumulation in the lower levels. We practically jumped like 5x-6x in a few months. I guess HBD can't get a break or go back down. Is the HBD stabilization project pretty much failing? The pumps just can't be stopped.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the next hardfork will help HBD. Until then, we will see it going crazy at the mercy of the market.
The price of HIVE seemed to pop again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It seems like a dream but we are on the right path and with each pump, we are more confident to see that $1 HIVE is not crazy to imagine this year.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No no , 5$ is the dream lol . I hope we can see atleast 1$ by the end of June - July this year .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a very possible road for Hive to go! 5$ by the end of the year would be amazing too!
I hope I can grow my stake a lot in the mean time!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
5$ is difficult according to me . If all the big players stop dumping them then maybe we can reach it
OR
If projectblank brings in tons of users who get addicted to that then also we might see 2.5-3$ hive .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I hope project blank helps with that
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It will help for sure but to what extent does it help is the question . I hope RC won't be a problem with projectblank .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
$5 is still too low depending upon the time frame. We will see much higher levels.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe that it is still possible this year to see HIVE at $1. I hope that until then I am a Dolphin :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is 5k the requirement for Dolphin ?
It will hit 1$ but I am not sure if it can stay at 1$ , that's my concern , a lot of people will dump at 1$ .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For Dolphin it is just above 5K HP, something close to 5,230 HP out there ... I don't remember the exact numbers now.
Even if you have eviction, the price will recover. Anyone who has long-term goals will not be concerned with some weak hands.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have some STEEM coming here but not sure if I should invest it in LEO or Hive.
Leo is down so seems like a good chance to buy more.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
$1 is a given at some point. That is still undervalued for this blockchain. We are seeing so much taking place, right now, let alone what it will be like at the end of the year.
For that reason, we should zoom past $1 when the development driven run starts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With the launch of HSC, HIVE will have a great appreciation and if by that time it is already much closer to $1, we will see higher flights ahead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nice! I also think it may fall back a bit but it's always nice to see such a pump. Go HIVE!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I told you , I guess we broke that 50 cents barrier and now it would be interesting to see where it stabilizes . I hope it goes to 0.75$ .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If it price discovers up there, then it will be fairly bullish. I just think the chart needs a break to consolidate otherwise I can only see prices tanking after this loses steam.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Did anyone post on Cinetv yet?
I put up one this morning and a couple of comments.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I haven't touched it as much. There is plenty to do so I haven't really bothered to check it out right away. I might plan to drop by and see if there is something interesting over the weekend when I get more time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A bit slow to start but it has potential. Right now a lot of posts on Cinetv promoting it. But a few people put up some movie reviews.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am behind on my anime backlog. I don't tend to watch TV shows and movie much due to the wokeness appearing there. At least with animes, despite the cliches, I don't have that nonsense there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There is a lot of wokeness especially with today's films and shows.
That is why I am going to post about stuff from the 80s. That didnt have much of that garbage, at least not overtly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not yet! This is week is probably gonna be a little too crazy on my side but I'll try and swing by
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, I would like to watch a movie and make a review of it, but I lack of time to watch movies.
I hope to watch some movies next week on my holidays.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not yet , will go check it out .
I am thinking about engaging over there too but should see if the shows I am watching is what everybody else is watching right now .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just did. I thought I wouldn't be able to make time for it tonight but then I remembered about my goals and decided to push myself a little bit longer!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is really hard to keep up with so many on-going development. 🤧

That is true. Hive is rushing forward at a furious pace. There is no way to keep up with all the tribes that are popping up.
It is fun to watch the expansion taking place.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is opening up the doors for a lot of possibilities. This is, in fact, what my latest video was about (not exactly but in the general sense).
We are at a point where people need to look to tokenization as a way to start different projects and pay a return to people. It would also help to take money in from the fiat world and help to feed it into crypto.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is there any tool to stake all tokens in one click? I feel lazy when I have to stake more than 10 tokens lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This was asked a few days ago. Currently there is no tool but @amr008 did say he might make it in the future. This is dependent on him moving towards that code and touching it up to create a tool.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No there isnt.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hehe second person asking this in a short time frame. Maybe it would be a useful tool
Can't help with that, sorry. But maybe someone else sees it and decides to do something about it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see a demand, we need an offer.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
When will we hit $10M marketcap? I think next week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In about a months time I think. The potential is there. Leo is doing really well jogging all these projects.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For what token?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I mean LEO :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it will require the release of Blank to get to that point.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If eventually crypto fills everywhere in the world world, and all crypto currency starts to rise like bitcoin.
Do you think that the real time currency ( $ £ ¥ # and the likes) will be affected and loose value?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I still think people will be seperated into regions and there will be some digital currency version of real fiat. As for real life currency, I think it will slowly disappear over time. As the new generation grows up, all of us will move towards credit cards or crypto transfers so physical cash will be phased out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That means there will be limited physical rubbery, only cyber hackers and thieves will be.
What do you think
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cyber security is a huge deal going forward. We are going to have to really ensure our systems are a lot safer than they are now. We are presently lacking in this area.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is going to be good if cyber security improves because this days anything can be harked into
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well as technology gets more advanced, and becomes a part of us, literally, we might want to be as secure as possible.
Dont really want our brain to computer interface being hacked.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I do think it will be affected since at the end of the day we are converting it to fiat ( atleast till the crypto completely overtakes the fiat ) .
So if a large amount of people are earning crypto and still fiat is the way of transacting in real life then yes crypto will affect it .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is another @leomarkettalk post. We did well yesterday, crossing 300 comments.
With the release of the Cinetv tribe, there is plenty to talk about.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wen airdrop?
Well, BRO token holders will benefit greatly. I haven't seen any tokens for lions yet ... :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The airdrop for BRO holders has already been completed . Marky told the airdrop for LP happens later in the day but nothing yet .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Interesting... I forgot to check if I got anything... maybe tomorrow
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you hold BRO ? Atleast 4 ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do, but I think it's less than 4
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah then unfortunately we didn't receive the CINE airdrop . There was a requirement of 4 BRO itseems .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just do a ctrl + F then put in CINE. If you got any, it should pop up when you check your wallet on HE or LeoDex.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I always forget about that. Keep scrolling up or down until I find what I am looking for.
Thanks for the reminder.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Whoever holds BRO and LEO got along really well on that airdrop.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I don't think I got anything either so I wonder if there is a minimum for LEO as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah maybe , we will get very less though because 100 LP = 1 CINE itseems so that is way too less lol .
I checked and the airdrop has happened only for BRO holders .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I'm waiting to see what happens for the LEO users, but I doubt we will get much since the supply of LEO staked is far higher than the amount of BRO in people's wallet. So I think the its probably going to be around the same ratio as CUB I think.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Guess so , for small users like ourselves it doesn't matter much . Also there will be pool enabled for CINE too itseems on brofi sooner or later so its good to stake all CINE .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I received mine and I believe that by the time everyone received it too :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup the airdrop for both BRO and LP holders are now complete .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Marky said it took place. Should be in your wallet.

So I will like to get you guy's take on social capital. I recently wrote a post about it. How relevant do you think it is to the leofinance ecosystem
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Rewarding the liquidity providers -
https://leofinance.io/@aggroed/diesel-pool-reward-contract-deployed
We were talking about this when diesel pools were announced .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What do you guys think about POB ? It is trying to replicate BTC , do you like the concept ?I already see many supporters for that .
Also the community owner asked me to add them to the engagement project , so I have added it if you don't know about it already .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I saw it but I wonder how popular it will be. For example, if we divert some of the inflation into the diesel pools, does this affect curation and post rewards? I think we need to know more about the pros and cons of the inflation rate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes it will affect other rewards but it will be a good usecase for tokens which doesn't have any .
Say for SPORTS , only usecase ? Staking , now staking + liquidity pool rewards .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but the amount of SPORTS generated is still the same. Therefore without a sink, it does nothing to solve the problem. The most it will do is to keep some SPORTS off the market and only boost price temporarily.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes you are right , it won't be a sink but rather another type of staking you can say . It just reduces some liquidity in wallets is what I feel .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know nothing about it.
Care to explain what they are trying to do?
Cant keep up with all these new developments that are taking place.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They are trying to distribute tokens based on purely proof of brain and nothing else. Only author and curation rewards.
It follows BTC type of halving itseems.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah okay. I havent followed it at all and am not using the tag so I dont have any of them.
Could be an interesting model to follow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is another generic tag , you can use them in all of your posts . Many seem to be supporting it to see what would have happened to Hive if it was purely Proof of Brain .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A bit dates but worthy of the watch. This talks about the impeding retirement crisis in the United States. He touches upon some really good points.
The problem is we are going to see class warfare setting off, pitting the retirning Boomers versus the Millennials.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I remember that. It was one of the videos where he talks about how bonds are important. Also, there is just not enough money for them to pay out. The more the baby boomers reach retirement age, the more the payouts need to occur.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep especially since pension funds are woefully underfunded and government programs are going to be stretched. With so little in people's home in terms of equity, they really have a difficult situation.
I think there is a race between technological deflation and all these people retiring. Will they be able to enjoy the cost reductions that we see as industries such as healthcare, construction, energy, and food get disrupted.
It might be too far out for many of them.
