I am ultra bullish on <<BTC>> and <<ETH>>, but much more on <<CSPR>>, and even more still on Gold. Need to phase it correctly, like a rally race. In any case, re all of them, buy until eyeballs bleed, with all strength musterable by famished baby holding on to full jug of milk. BTC shall be weaponised, and would be a problem in the longer term, but that might be when BTC is at 500K. ETH? Hard to say. How far can NFT and such go? Impossible to even guess. CSPR? My take … Shall get update tomorrow from client re progress w/ not-ETH. Already got understanding re the team work. All good. Some (at least two (2) I know well) fortune-500s love CSPR and more shall do same. The problem w/ CSPR is that much is done with listed Fortune 500 companies under strict NDAs due to imperatives of competitition, a/k/a life & death. And F500 companies are seriously litigation-mad. Re << don’t yet understand the advantages of CSPR over ETH >> In short ETH1.0 is trying to get to ETH3.0 by way of ETH2.0. CSPR is ETH 3.0. IOW, CSPR has first-mover advantage in the institution-adoption world (genuine use-cases) as opposed to mere NFTs and financial speculative hoarding.

CSPR chronicle The picture I keep in mind as a non-crypto investor only hodl-ing CSPR, holding BTC and ETH, and because I do not know why, have a smidgeon of RLY and a spot of HBAR is above, the ‘ecosystem’. I had to explain to a newbie yesterday over lunch, and I doodled the diagram. I left out the top-line comparatives of CSPR vs the rest of the constructs including ETH, as a few bullet points make intuitively obvious that CSPR is the best schema since the inception of BTC. CSPR is beautiful. CSPR construct needs to and, if enough go right by collective hive-mind diligence, can sustainably inflate at 8% to reward stakehodlers and feed the validators / developers on pay-as-goes basis. The private equity approach is wonderful, and scaled awesome. CSPR community has imperative to grow network of user / stakeholder base at >8% by delivering on use-cases, and fulfill destiny as money (sorry, I meant ‘inflation) machine. The machines shall farm the normal-verse, feed on its energy, by ways of occupying the strategic high-grounds of B2B, enable controlling the choke-points of B2C, and garner goodness by facilitating movements of goods, services, and data, and also facilitate the C2C. To do right, CSPR construct needs complete toolbox, and to fully-populate hive-mind community of institutions, governments, developers, and we on Telegram. We of the faith must help by delivering the people needing salvation, to help them see the light. I am certain I missed some important aspect to the schema, so please shout if whatever occurs and let the hive know. Shall attend a lunch 20th November with crypto junkies, and I aim to set them straight, to focus as opposed to ‘diversify’. Essentially we want use-cases and community to grow much faster than the # of coins, and by so doing, pricing goes up even as yield remains a happy constant, whatever the price. My advice yesterday over free lunch was worthwhile, for the champagne preamble good-enough for Monday noon break, wine was tolerable :0), lemon sole line-caught and on bone was healthy, and panna cotta was high cholesterol.

As of 7:38 a.m. in London, the overall market cap of cryptocurrencies hit $3.01 trillion, according to CoinGecko pricing. The third- and fourth-biggest tokens, Binance Coin and Solana, have added more than 20% in the past seven days; all of the seven biggest coins are up over the last week. Bitcoin rose as much as 5.5% on Monday to $66,339, nearing its previous record of about $67,000. Ether advanced as much as 3% to a new high of $4,768. Of course, crypto is notoriously volatile. The last time Bitcoin reached these levels, it fell back several thousand dollars, and it’s undergone multiple corrections that take it down by half or more. Other coins are even more volatile -- the memecoins bounce back and forth wildly at times -- and scams and hacks occur with some frequency.

Excitement about the possibilities of decentralized finance and non-fungible tokens is growing, and memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu continue to attract attention. Bitcoin’s current rally has been fueled by the U.S. trading debut of a Bitcoin-linked ETF as well as Elon Musk’s weekend Twitter poll, said Ben Caselin, head of research and strategy at crypto exchange AAX. “With Shiba and other memecoins having surged recently, and Facebook’s rebranding to Meta, interest in altcoins continues to rise.” Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.

I get BTIG stuff just like the big boyz do, but by courtesy of a big boy And it still boggles me that perfectly serious analytical outfits puts out below stuff, because perfectly serious folks want ‘exposure’ Am alarmed that I, a gamer, haven’t a clue of what ‘they’ are talking about, and yet my 11-yrs young Jack cannot bother to teach me, dismissing me with, “Dada, that is a big-brain subject. Do you really want to know?” IOW, once again am falling behind! But, and, or, yes, Jack wagered 50% of his NAV on CSPR. And on the off-chance CSPR goes from $0.105 to $105, I do not want to cover his wager short, so moved his ledger money to crypto a/c and bought Message 33562354 btig.com Game Changer: Splinterlands’ Blockchain-Based, Play-to-Earn Game Merges DeFi and NFTs in Gamified Yield Farming, With Rise to Top of GameFi User Charts Spurred by Its Vibrant Metaverse Economy WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: With the metaverse beginning to attract mainstream media attention during the past couple of weeks, the blockchain-based, tokenized games that play a dominant role in the space have also begun to enter the public consciousness. At the same time, we believe the term “metaverse” has been stretched to apply to warmed-over, Web 2.0 versions of virtual reality (VR) that may provide a way for certain centralized companies to put their unused VR headset inventory to work, but that are a far cry from the decentralized, transparent, community-owned Web 3.0 virtual worlds built within games native to the blockchain. ¦The stark contrast between the metaverse as expressed through distributed ledger technology and the versions conceived by legacy game developers and centralized firms is seen in the vibrant, multifaceted digital economies that have been built within play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain games such as Splinterlands. A pioneer in GameFi – the intersection of blockchain-based gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) – Splinterlands has merged the collectability of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with DeFi to create gamified yield farming. ¦ We believe Splinterlands’ accelerating traction – it ranks at the top of the charts in terms of unique active wallets in the GameFi space after its active count spiked in recent months – has demonstrated the potency of adding the ability to earn a meaningful amount of money to an entertaining fantasy gaming experience. Splinterlands in July had been registering between 50K and 100K active wallets each week. Those figures jumped in August thanks to the platform’s launch of the Splintershards governance token and staking mechanism, and they jumped again in October with the introduction of its new Chaos Legion card packs that helped its weekly active wallet count soar to 520K. ¦We view the attractiveness of Splinterlands as absolutely a function of the particular technology that enables it; without blockchain, the metaverse that it has created simply would not be possible. Indeed, Splinterlands provides ample evidence of why corporate entities whose conception of the metaverse involves slapping a corporate logo onto an off-chain Web 2.0 VR framework will inevitably offer up pale imitations of blockchain-based virtual worlds, in our view. ¦ Splinterlands by leveraging blockchain technology has been able to create an ingame economy that reflects the complexity of the real-world one, complete with scarce tokenized goods, the prices of which are determined by supply and demand; virtual land represented by NFTs that is bought and sold in secondary markets; and liquidity pools that incentivize users to provide crypto liquidity that helps to fuel the economy’s growth. As Splinterlands co-founder Jesse Reich said, “the game is not just the game … the game is also the economy around the game.” ¦ We spoke with Reich, who along with co-founder Matt Rosen began building Splinterlands in 2018, about the evolution of the virtual world and its embedded economy; how the platform has expanded its scope by enabling interactivity with various blockchains; and why he views other blockchain-based games such as Axie Infinity and The Sandbox not as opponents, but as potential allies. ¦Splinterlands is a virtual fantasy world built around a collectible NFT trading card game in which player-controlled cards representing monsters do battle and go on quests
