Here is the post for the Daily Leo Talk. In preparation for the upcoming Microblogging features, this is a good place to start conversations, posts charts, memes, trades, or anything else that comes to mind.
Let us boost our overall numbers by posting lots of comments throughout the day. Spread the word to get others involved.
It is a great way to stimulate engagement.

What are your sleeping tricks?
I listen to boring podcasts until I fall asleep but avoid political discussions. Also, It works chillout music.
The trick is to keep your mind disctracted about your own thoughts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just try not to think and close my eyes. It naturally just goes to sleep.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same.

Watching golf on TV and listening to classical music. Works like a charm
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol golf on TV huh? Unfortunately I don't have tv in my bedroom.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Listening to blues music works for me, reading books too works like.....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lights off with music on the background.

Men I sleep whenever I feel sleepy. On some days it's difficult. when my mind is active I stay late into the night watching stuff on YouTube or tiktok. But I always compensate with a couple of hours of sleep during the day
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Close my eyes and dream of females.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can't deny that xDD

I listen to ASMR :)
I have been listening to this since 2015 and nowadays people are more professional in their videos.

Sorry dudes, I just can't keep up with all of this right now, I love the microblogging warm-up we have going on here but I'm stretched for time and have been trying to just comment on my feed for the time being. Its all good and my Defi cub thing is kicking some mofo ass. My stock trading is whooping it too! I will get more active soon, I hope. I do need to cater to my carrier at this moment, a year or two left, so keep it up guys and I will be around as much as I can! (promise)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't worry about it. We will still be here and I hope you will be active when Project Blank actually releases.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Microblogging on this platform would always be at your disposal on any feeds you need. You can always bring up an activity once or twice a week for the main time that could still keep you active here and get everyone sharing from your task.

So a tax on the wealthy after they die so the remaining friends and family get less. I am not really opposed as much to this since I am not part of the crowd that has to worry about it. But I want a clearer definition of what would be counted in what is unrealized capital gains. For example, a house should not count since it would only force them to sell off the house to pay off the taxes.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/30/senate-dems-propose-capital-gains-tax-at-death-with-1-million-exemption.html
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ho hum. The same old lies told by the tax and spenders.
Total bullshit.
As for the $1 million exemption, that is nothing. With housing prices where they are, many in major markets hit that easily. Toss in a small business, if it wasnt destroyed, and you can easily see how this will hit a lot more people than the headline says.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I forgot about the small businesses but yea it will probably affect more people than I originally thought.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The taxing in policies in the past affected the small farmers the worst.
People think $5 million is a lot until they realize these farms were worth that in value but people didnt have the money in cash.
There is a big difference between an asset and cash.

People should learn from history about class warfare. Argentina was one of the most powerful economies a century ago. Then the class warfare Perons came in.
Now Argentina is a banana republic.
The US is heading in that direction.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its the biggest problem with social media right now. Rather than answering with concrete evidence, they just call out names and ideas with zero data to back it up. It riles people up for sure.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well that is always the case. When there is no basis, they simply resort to name calling instead of debating or proving their point.
The lack of debate is what is bringing everything down.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the biggest issue. When CNN showed the truth of the border situation, they were accused of staging the video. So I think even the public they are leading are refusing to accept it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So true also looking at the historical background of African Artifact and history. It is always fascinating on how man could survive and life the comfortable life they wanted, the way communication went on and developed gradually
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another lie.
A household income of $400K in NY, Chicago, or SF does not make one rich. Hell, even outside the city limits this is changed too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The costs of living is hugely inflated in areas like NY, Chicago and SF. I don't understand how people even want to live there given the huge costs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is beyond me. Many make a lot of money so I guess it is a wash although there are those, like in Silicon Valley, who make bank but have to live in campers since they don't make enough to live in a home.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Many of you asked about the "stake-all-tokens-at-once" feature .
I am talking to a developer about it , it is already there on HiveTasks but it isn't working . I know what is wrong and have told the developer to check that particular code and fix it .
Once he fixes it and if everything works smoothly , I will make a post about it detailing the steps ( it isn't that difficult lol )
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is an interesting idea.
We will see what the developer comes up with.
Although I am not sure most want to stake all tokens. There are a lot of crap ones that I get which I have no interest in holding. They arent worth selling yet I let them stack and sometimes I get enough to sell and get a little bit of hive.swap.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I mean you can choose whichever tokens you want to stake . The idea is "select multiple tokens to stake "
There was an error in the code which wasn't fixed by anyone . I went through it now and have told him what needs to be fixed . He told he will change it now .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah okay. That makes more sense.
That could be a useful feature to have.
Interested to see it coming into being.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was fixed yesterday and now you can use it :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That sounds big. Waiting to see how that feature plays out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's pretty simple but very efficient feature.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will definitely be a nice feature so thanks for looking into it for us. Maybe more people will stake often since we don't have to go through it one by one.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't mention. These are necessary features I suppose otherwise it just takes too much time or we will just become lazy overtime and as you said we won't stake most times at all..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks so much @amr008. That's very thoughtful and can wait to see it in action.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will post about it tomorrow on how you can do it . It's a necessary feature .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What do you prefer the most?
1 - Series
2 - Movies
3 - Both :)
Because?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Series. I prefer a good story with things connected in multiple different videos/games. My most favorite JRPG right now is the Trials Series in the Legend of heroes. The last 10 games have been on the same continent and the lore is connected together. I love it because of the lore and the story though the music is great also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Tradition and history gets more interesting in a series. I liked your opinion.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I like it when things are linked together and there are only certain things you will only know if you watched the other parts. It makes for an interesting experience when re-watching the series in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes like the series of Game of thrones, Vikings, SEE and so many like that which never ended expect the game of throne.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
GoT I think it was the best series that I watched in my life.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'd have to say movies. Just finished watching The Matrix Reloaded. Trying to catch up on seeing them again in getting ready for the forth Matrix movie later on this year. The third one always confused me as to what in the hell happened to Neo. Will watch it again soon.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will definitely need to watch it again lol
I only like movies when there is a continuation like a trilogy. It is true that there are films that do not need continuation and if they do they will spoil the first one.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Movies because it will get over in 2 hours or less.
I love series but it will take a lot of time away so I usually don't start watching it lol..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahahaha ... choose wisely.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There are still many web series which I want to watch but I have made up my mind I won't start it now lol . I tend to binge-watch and not do anything else ;p
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know how it is lol
But I believe that there is no better time than now to watch a good series.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lot of access to it makes it easy to watch .
Couple of years ago we didn't have access ( or in other words couldn't afford to ) to Netflix and stuff so we used to watch whatever is on TV . Nowadays I rarely watch TV .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I rarely watch TV too. Only when there is a football game 😎
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think I like them both equally....
Recently, I've been watching more series because there aren't many movies that really caught attention these days.
I'm watching Superstore now. I found out about it on CineTV and I'm enjoying it so far.
I seem to really like comedy shows that are set in a work environment, not sure why! The Office is my all-time favorite, of course!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good taste. It is always good to like both and so what comes of interesting to be able to watch.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
None. But maybe if we have a blockchain movie, I'll love to watch. My time isn't that free.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hope that encryption can give you all the free time you need to do everything you like.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Series because I like binge watching. But there aren't a lot of shows worthy of binging sadly.
Been watching Moonshiners lately.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like series a lot, I like it better when I find a series with 3 or 5 seasons ready for me to watch. As I'm a bit of a nerd ... there are some series I haven't seen yet and just to give you an idea, I recently watched the first 10 seasons of The Walking Dead :)
I'm currently watching The Irregulars on Netflix.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
series! i love a story that is progressive. most times movies are rushed and you don't get to understand the characters and their story to form a good opinion on them
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The more seasons in the series, the better :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Movies, because i don't like suspense in movie only if it would have a new part
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good choice.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I prefer movies, i don't really like taking time on series
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very straightforward answer lol
Well, good choice.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I really hate it when a movie or tv series is only acually appreciated years later. The reason is if it's not a ratings or box office success the first time, then there's no sequel. By the time, it gets recognized, the actors are too old to replay their roles for a sequel.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well sometimes it takes people a while to appreciate where something comes from.
As for sequels, that isnt a big deal since most tend to suck. There are very few films where the ensuing one(s) were anywhere near the original.
Mostly they original becomes a classic and the next is garbage. Major League is one that comes to mind. The sequel was awful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
One of my favorite TV series is the under-appreciated "The Lost Room" which ran during 2006. It has a very high IMDB rating of 8.2 but it never managed to get a second season for some reason.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't watched that series before. I guess I'll add it to my back log but it only tends to get bigger.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes that is the unfortunate effect of people's opinion changing over time. If it is too early or too late, it will of missed the optimal showing period.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
for so many days now,one cannot be able to upload pictures directly on this platform and the issue is not fixed...so i created a post about it so that the admin can see it and fix the issue....
you can reblog the post to be able to quickly reach out to to them so that the issue can be fixed asap...
https://leofinance.io/@loyaltyrewarded/leofinance-front-end-platform-not-displaying-pictures-issue-should-be-fixed-urgently
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess the best way to reach the admin is through Discord for these matters. Also , they already know about this issue according to me , they are just busy working on other stuff right now .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes wanted to talk about that too it always skips my mind i actually make use of Actifit fitness tracker
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hello guys...sorry i have been having fun with my hive buddies @belemo and @maverieux000 today. i haven't had the time to engage that much today. tomorrow we resume. cheers!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is okay. Sometimes engaging with other members of Hive is equally important.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Feel free to come back when you feel tired of chatting with them. Engaging on the block chain elsewhere still adds to the numbers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah we met at a physical location today. It was fun.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am getting to become an addict @leomarkettalk because I learn every single day, even without reading wide blogs and i have also been very much less attractive to chatting on WhatsApp and majorly Instagram. All i do know is more of research and topics to discuss on leomarkettalk.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a healthy obsession in my opinion.
We are glad you find this to be a valuable place to spend time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a great place to learn about various topics. You also get a bunch of different opinions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sometimes I wonder how anxious you are in relation to the launch of ProjectBlank, because as we know it was supposed to be the first project implemented by LeoFinance and today we don't have a set date ...
Is Task getting enough sleep to wait? lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I want an update on Project Blank. I keep thinking "Wen Project Blank" everyday.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol
I don't want to be pessimistic but I don't think PB will come in April ... Well, at least we will have more time to accumulate more LEO :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All I can think about is that when I hop on to Leofinance.
I really hope it comes out soon but looks like it won't. No updates .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We may likely be seeing ProjectBlank pop out in Q3 2021.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If so, I can say that I will be happy and sad at the same time.
Happy to have more time to accumulate LEO for the airdrop and sad to wait so long.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The way we have left is to wait ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
On my side, the excitement about ProjectBlank is getting drifted. Now thinking LeoBridge and I hope ProjectBlank doesn't take me by surprise.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, at least we have CubFinance to occupy our time, so we don't have to worry too much about PB. One day we will see its launch.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My sleeping is fine.
That doesnt make it easier to wait but it is what it is.
We cant speed up development I guess. We will get news in due time.
In the meantime, just keep posting comments.
Can you reach 500 this week @coyotelation? I think you can reach it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Task, I will try yes. I owe this number to myself for a long time. I will do my best to reach 500 comments.

HBD pumping like crazy. Anybody know why?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No idea but I think I'll take this time to convert some HBD into HIVE. Hopefully my orders fill if it pumps even more.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is the Koreans again. They tend to play game with SBD so I would not be surprised to see them do it with HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think hive will pump next (again) seems they are moving in circles. I don't know their endgame but really it is exciting to see how everything unfolds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What's the reason for this pump now? Same old story?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Probably. Around $2.50 now...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can Trump possibly think blockchain or crypto? Who really knows him?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it will be blockchain or crypto. In fact I am bearish on him getting anything done given that there is only about 4 months or so. This doesn't even give him enough time to debug and ensure the platform won't die under the stress test.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doubt it will be either of those. It will be some type of centralized system that they control.
Look for it to censor all non conservative voices.
It will likely be just the mirror image of Twitter with a different political slant.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Who else feels good reading through various topics under one post.
@Leomarkettalk covers it all in just a post. You can read and learn about almost everything that is happening in a post.
Leomarkettalk should be highly rewarded especially with up votes
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like it because we tend to get many different topics and it allows us to see what its about in a shorter form.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And from different people who their different point. Of views
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's good once in awhile to have a little break from all of the crypto talk. I've always said, I know a little bit about a lot of things. Sholud come in handy here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly, it just comes free, you don't have to bother about making financial statements, and if there is any topic you really don't understand, you can just by pass it and move to the next one
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What Hive is to communities, Leomarkettalk is to posts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly, Leo is to engagement
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that's a better slogan than what I said lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's just the fact. I come hear to know what's happen around crypto world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And you will get them details and even get individual point of views on each news, it helps to the carry everybody along
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have you posted on CineTV?
If so what have you posted about?
I put up a couple posts thus far.
Anyone else?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't as I haven't had time to watch my anime backlog. I mean I could talk about some of the movies I talk about before but I prefer to talk about fresh things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'd love to, but I haven't posted yet.
I would certainly post about my series that I like a lot and the series that I am watching. I really like science fiction, action, suspense ...
I also like fantasy films like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Looking forward to the Lord of the Rings series that will be on Prime. That's why since I announced this, I bought the plan from Amazon.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have Amazon Prime as well. In the middle of watching a movie called Push with Chris Evans.
Have you seen the series 3% ? Season one was great and it was filmed in Brazil.
source
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I only watched the first 3% season. I didn't like it very much but I saw that it has more seasons and I hope they have evolved for the better :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You didn't miss much. The first season was the best. I don't usually watch content dubbed in English, but that season was great. In year two, things changed and I had to force myself to finish that one and I was done after that. I dunno, maybe they changed writers or something, but it couldn't carry on that sense of compelling television that brought me there in the first place. But I'd watch season one again in a heartbeat! :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know how it is ... sometimes directors and editors are replaced and the vast majority of times it changes the essence of the film / series.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The Lord of the Rings was good. I never watched the Hobbit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I can't believe you've never watched Hobbit! This is a cool moment during the pandemic of you making some popcorn and watching your trilogy :)
The film takes place 60 years before the episodes of The Lord of the Rings. It is worth watching my friend.
To this day, I consider The Lord of the Rings to be the best trilogy ever made in the world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The first Star Wars trilogy was pretty amazing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No doubt it was. I remember that last year my children and I watched everything. They loved it and I believe that any child should like Star Wars :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can you believe I've never read the books? I'm behind on Star Wars as well. Have only seen that Phantom Menance one and the beginning of that Revenge of the Clones or whatever it's called.
I hear they've ruined the new ones...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also never read the books but I plan to buy them all in the future. It's a really cool universe to explore.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I liked the original 3 and after that, lost interest.
The last 3 were really bad.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You will love it. I have watched both and usually watch it again and again when it is put on TV.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I can second that. Those films were outstanding, given that Peter Jackson was thrust into directing them when Del Toro abrubtly quit, leaving Jackson to have to wing it.
This is the guy who said:
So why in Gods name would you hire him to direct this beloved franchise only to quit?
Guillermo del Toro should never be allowed anywhere near another Hobbit movie for the rest of his life after what he put the fans through.

Here is another @leomarkettalk post.
We are a bit slow this week. time to kick it into overdrive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another midweek, let's see how today goes. How many new users would join today.
I feel there can be a way to reward new users on Leomarkettalk every day, the form of rewards can be stated in the main Leomarkettalk post. I think that might help in drawing new users.
Just a suggestion
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Users get upvotes from me so they are rewarded for their participation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was like Task said, we are naturally rewarded with positive votes and in my opinion it is already a good reason to come and participate.
It may seem "little" to some at first, but if you accumulate these votes by commenting a lot, it will be very worthwhile.
In addition to Task, I and other users tend to vote on comments. Of course, unfortunately, we cannot vote for all 400 fellow members because of the VP, so that we are not less than 80%, but we try to do our best to bring the necessary motivation to everyone here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I am slowly earning more LEO and staking them. I have some LEO that I haven't staked but I plan to stake them on the same day as HPUD. I try my best to comment and upvote them at least once a day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think I've ever done a post on HPUD and maybe I do this April. I thought you would just do it with HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes you do it with HIVE but I like to add in LEO for it to also be a LEO powerup day for me. I plan to powerup quite a bit of LEO so I hope to reward some more LEO to the people participating afterwards. I tend to use it to set my goals for the month as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is really cool and I can also say that it motivates people to also stack LEO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As more people get tokens staked, it makes the outreach even easier.
This is how Hive works and is duplicated on the tribes.
We all have a role to play.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes it's true. It is a commitment of all.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sure, I do sometimes too, but my vote is still like almost nothing, so I don't really slide down from 100% while voting
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But keep stacking LEO, each piece counts and one day you will start to notice a good change in your vote.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I don't have much LEO but I try to upvote every unique person at least once per day. There are also many other people who try to give other votes for participation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Slow but we will never stop :)
I'll see if I can call my Brazilian friends who, fortunately, every day I see them appear more often on Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is good. Be sure to drop some of their posts in here so we can get to know them better and support them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
OK I will do it.
We are even discussing a way to expand our Brazilian community within LeoFinance. But my hopes will rise when the PB is released because we can all talk about anything freely.
@Vempromundo even created a kind of list showing our performance from week to week. The last record is this one and it contains all the Brazilians that exist in the Leo community.
https://leofinance.io/@vempromundo/the-strength-of-the-brazilian-community-in-leo-or-week-2
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is nice.. this is like community with community lol..
It's always good to track but make sure you don't upvote each other 100% of the upvotes because people hate it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I try to balance my votes until I reach 80% of my PV or something close to that. There will be days when some authors won't get my votes but other curators can do it :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree , since the number of authors posting on LeoFinance has been increasing steadily it becomes difficult to vote everyone ( with the amount they deserve ) since there are numerous good posts .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll try my best but I was fairly busy today. I should have some time tomorrow but I have to go out for a few hours as well tomorrow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Super busy today so I'm gonna live you with this meme
Meanwhile at the Korean crypto school
I mean have you got a better explanation for the recent HBD pump because I'm just as surprised as that cat :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. I guess its HBD's turn to be pumped and I wonder how far up it will go.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder if Hive will follow suit in a week or two.
It seems that each time there is a pump in HBD, HIVE gets a kick higher a week or two later.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I wonder how far higher it will go. I don't see any exact reason for the pump so everyone is blaming the koreans. I can only seeing it go down because eventually if they aren't used, then it will go back out into the open market.

Bitcoin beating Gold in the battle of the safe havens.
That will not make Peter Schiff happy.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He is never happy. Anyone who followed him for a decade saw gold go nowhere. He may be right about some things in the macro sense but all you need to do is compare a decades old chart of gold and BTC.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Or even the equities market.
He was saying in the early 2010s to buy gold and stay away from stocks.

Yea those algos are crazy. Its also the reason why all the articles are written in a certain way so that those firms automate the process. It's not the only thing they run on but whenever the market just runs up or down, you can generally blame the bots.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah the bots are all over the trading. I read that roughly 85% of all trades are automated on the stock market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea those algos just keep running all the time. Even the stock market brokers have quants running in the background and they tend to cause most of the recurring price-action patterns we see also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That means soon, robots and machines would take over the crypto space. What else would be left for humans?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is that making BTC head the healthy way? What could be the possible sustainability for that?

We can wish that they pump even more. Though I don't mind it slowly down a bit so I can fill up my bags before others catch on.

Sounds nice. I haven't had any Chipotle recently so I might make that my destination the next time I go out for fast food.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I havent eaten there either but I do know they are popular and a big name.
So if they do a contest, it will get in front of a lot of eyes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like it because its delicious. Not healthy but it satisfies my craving for food when I am lazy. Besides the usual fast food horror stories, I tend to think its fine. I quit going there as often when they gave my older ingredients a few times.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is a step above the usual fast food crap that is out there.
But that doesnt mean it is any healthier.

More Bitcoin forecasts.
It is about time we got news of another company getting involved. Been a while since the Tesla announcement.

As they say buy the dip. I just wish I bought more when they were cheaper. I wonder if someone is tabulating all the price predictions in a centralized place for people to look at.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be interesting. They are all over the place in both price and time.
We will see where they go from here.
First we need to break the $60K barrier.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well. I think it needs some time to cool off. The 60k barrier isn't that tough since it has already been passed once.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah but it seems to be a level BTC wants to bounce off of for a while.
The more it does it, the greater the chance that, upon breakthrough, it will push towards $65K or maybe even $70K.

I found this video as it goes into the legal problems that occur when you use BTC to buy a Tesla. This might need to be resolved before we figure out how crypto can be accepted mainstream.

Willy Woo: 1 billion people will have exposure to Bitcoin by 2025.

The main thing I would be concerned about is transaction times and fees. Don't know if that's being worked on as yet. When I buy Bitcoin to send over for HIVE and LEO, I leave for 45 minutes or so and it's usually transfered by the time I get back.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well Woo is a Bitcoin maximalist so he overlooks that minor drawbacks.
I agree with you. It is why I dont think BTC will be anything more than a store of value.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And we'll have say 100 million on Hive by then. WOn't that be incredible?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
IN 4 years? Not sure we will hit 100 million but it is possible.
We need to get to 100K daily active users. If we can do that, we will be in a completely different world.
ProjectBlank is going to be key in that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. Is it considering things indirectly or directly? I think people have more exposure to BTC indirectly than most like. I think there is much more exposure to BTC than people would think since not everyone is required to share their holdings publicly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think Woo is a maximalist so he believes that people will be getting Bitcoin to use as a payment system.
I could be wrong but I think he thinks all altcoins are shit.

So I know that people didn't think flying cars were a viable option. But it looks like it is still in development. I think there are many issues with it but what do you think?

About ten years or so ago, I almost bought the domain name aircar.com But then thought if we didn't have The Jetsons flying cars by then, it was unlikely to happen anytime soon. Shoulda done it! :)

Lol I remember watching the Jetsons. Back when we didn't have the internet as much and TVs were the thing, it would show up quite often.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We did get video calls off that show so we are ahead of the game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Might be worth a few bucks now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Personally I think it is a non starter. There is nothing that tells me we will ever see this. Who wants a bunch of flying taxis traveling overhead? Think of all the debris on roads. Where do people think that will go? It will be falling on our heads.
The idea is a futuristic concept that really has little applicability in my opinion. We already have helicopters which are essentially the same thing and how many people fly in them?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think there are plenty of rich people who just want the experience but as you said, there are too many issues for it to be mainstream.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You mentioned the experience, I wonder what the future of space tourism is. That, to me, seems to be an experience that once they get through the mega wealthy, who is going to get involved.
Sure we could see a drop in pricing but will it be more than a fad?

happy Wednesday Y'all, How's the going on your end?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its been good. I just woke up and sold some things on the stock market that I bought yesterday. Those short-dated options popped and I got myself a 80% profit so a few hundred bucks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
8% profit is decent. COngratulations.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the chart of SPY just looked so good given they were using dark pools to crush the price. So I took a few hundred bucks and came out with a winner. I could of got more if I waited a few extra hours but I am happy with my gains.

We didn't do well in Feb .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Look at the "Average Visit Duration." They're spending at least 30 minutes on site, I think those numbers are a good start. What I'd like to see improved are "Pages/Visit" and traffic from Google.
I've said it often, that we're not writing for Google. We're writing for the crypto-enthusiast and forgetting about Joe six-pack and Suzy soccer-mom.
Look at Hive and then look at the main Leofinance page. Hive has a nice mix of crypto and non-crypto content, while Leofinance is crypto-crypto-crypto, all day long. Where are the personal finance tips and how-to articles that can be found Here?
I would love it if one day LeoFinance would look more (but not completely) like Yahoo Finance. It's my first stop of the day for personal finance news and tips. Let's make it LeoFinance instead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
To look more like Yahoo Finance, the site is going to have to radically change. Not that I disagree but we are going to need to see a lot more references like crypto and stock prices.
That is one thing that will immediately change the perception.
Also, even with the crypto, crypto, crypto, it is mostly posts about "I am DeFi farming now" or some crap like that. Not even honest evaluations of bitcoin or other crypto projects.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I just saw the numbers. It looks like the US makes up for nearly half the traffic and I was fully expecting something like 33% or so.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. 50% from a single country is not good to be honest. That's why I was telling a few weeks back about general topics. We need more general topics over here which is about various country specific topics.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that is not surprising with the varied focus that is taking place. I think it will be interesting to see what the numbers look like for Cubfinance.
The key is going to be where will leofinance.io be at the end of the year.
We will have a few different feeder systems by then.

The big boys are only getting further into the game.
Is this a good or bad thing?
I guess is we are going to keep building and decentralizing things, it doesnt matter. But Wall Street is not stupid.

I saw that article this morning and personally you do realize that you are investing into them and they hold the crypto. I don't even know if they will allow you to withdraw crypto from your accounts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I dont know the details and have no reason to trust them though.
Seems to me that they will just manipulate things completely.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It definitely worrysome and there aren't exact some of the tools that exist in the stock market. If they decide to suppress prices then it might be a bit dangerous. I wonder if the brokers will fudge the numbers to help them and screw over retail.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe they are already fucking around with the futures market, big time.
So they will be playing their games. It is vital we keep expanding and adding more tokens outside their reach.
I think the major change will come from the Alt-coins, and not necessarily the ones that the banks are putting their hands on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but do you think the SEC will even check the crypto space? I don't think so. Therefore I think its going to be a huge mess.

The Oakland A's with an interesting approach to Bitcoin. As we know, they are going to accept BTC to buy a suite for the season.
However, the team will not convert the Bitcoin but will hold it and use the gains to sign free agents.
Interesting way for a small market team to try and close the gap with larger market teams.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure if that is a good idea. As much as I would like to say BTC always goes up, its possible to drop and they still need some reserves when we hit a bear market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would presume the majority of their revenues still come in USD.
Plus on suites, since it is just renting out space, it is mostly profit. Odds are this is a multi-year vision.
