Nooooo. @RyanSAdams - number 1 (in any long term rational market) has to be "What rights do you actually acquire with the NFT!"
We have @beeple selling for $69m. And crypto punks selling for $7.2m. The question is... How do you value NFTs? Here's 7 traits to look for: 1. Chain security 2. On-chainness 3. Age 4. Creator & community 5. Scarcity 6. Release Pace 7. Richness Read: newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/…

"Europe is trying to vaccinate 80%. the US is trying to vaccinate everyone. They will finish vaccinating, impose travel restrictions and then Africa becomes "the continent of COVID"" @JNkengasong in @thecontinent_ this week.

Credit to the Internet, I'd almost forgotten what it was like to log on to a trove of threats and sexist insults in my replies, DMs and emails.

So, the private security company that has been guarding my home for the last 12 years has been ordered to withdraw security at my house. Their supervisors showed up unannounced at midnight, disarmed my guard and said they had instructions to immediately withdraw my security.

Bitcoiners are religious about Bitcoin, true faith.
For any tax purposes, Bitcoin should be seen as a religion.

And just like that the government activated its bots to manipulate the trend and push its own hashtag to the top....
The top trending topic in Honduras right now is ladrones (thieves), a clear sign of the level of repudiation of the government's response to Hurricane Eta & a foreboding sign for the stability of the country going forward.

We have a culture that, for years, only has love for what is new and what is seen *right now*. This encourages those same, unsustainable ideas to multiply + people w those attitudes to join. Making $ fast is glorified so heavily that its become cool to be a free-rider.

#EndSARS I witnessed this parody of justice in open court, I have witnessed legal infamy a lot as an activist but what the Magistrate did today was shocking but not surprising. He was copiously citing Asari Dokubo’s case even when the charges were misdemeanours! #RevolutionNow
A Magistrate has remanded Abuja #EndSARS protesters today. The Magistrate cited the case of Asari Dokubo, an armed militant to reject the bail application. He told us to reapply in writing. We're still in court premises because the Magistrate hasn't signed the remand warrant.
