Uh, I like my Freedom to transact ....full and transparent only.
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:46:08.694000
yeah, its a real pain. But, with whats at stake you have to keep up and invest.
BrynnAliseReply2025-04-08 19:51:22.279000
yeah for sure
baiwei2025-04-08 19:37:44.612000
Oh, right dang
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:36:22.428000
also, every single transaction is taxable in US.
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:35:59.007000
Yeah, I stick w major tokens and chains primarily...again not enuf time & I like to concentrate on just a few things.
BrynnAliseReply2025-04-08 19:40:17.292000
I bought over 1,500 art pieces on Rodeo before that clicked with me regarding taxes. I stopped.
baiwei2025-04-08 19:27:34.453000
Which pains me sometimes XD
baiwei2025-04-08 19:26:28.121000
Been there since the begining and until now I spend all my tezos sales on art
baiwei2025-04-08 19:20:54.100000
Since the begining oriented for artists experimentation and community. At the beginning artists bought from artists and spent all on more artists
EzMonetReply2025-04-08 19:24:53.763000
Thanks, sounds like interesting history....didnt realize that.
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:12:23.073000
if they do

6529 does something different
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:11:44.793000
I own a lot of NFTs...primarily on ETH, a few on SOL and BTC ordinals. I will prob stop there until.
baiweiReply2025-04-08 19:19:56.410000
Try Tezos, really great art. Consistent since 21' and very authentic largely still affordable.
BrynnAlise2025-04-08 19:10:03.208000
yeah, for sure. Hard to keep up with it all when you work too.
EzMonet2025-04-08 19:09:23.794000
Thanks for info. So much to explore, so little time.
BrynnAlise2025-04-08 19:08:03.038000
There is a lot going on with SUI - you could look into Walrus Protocal and IKA - they have airdrop coming, and we are leveling up IKA pfps to get more airdrop. It's really fun when other stuff is quiet too.
BrynnAlise2025-04-08 19:06:57.483000
They do, and they feel so cheap compared to ETH ones - I think my most expensive pfp is worth about 400 SUI. I am trying to buy more as I sold about half of my stack at $5 and want to buy back while it is under $2.
EzMonet2025-04-08 18:59:26.102000
Yes, its good to have perspective on some early NFTs, obviously everyone's list is different
As a relatively new collector of NFTs, I like to refer to this list by @Jediwolf for rarity
tiers
BrynnAliseReply2025-04-08 18:57:21.504000
This is a really cool chart. I don't have the eth to collect much. I am focused on meme cards, mask by Sam, and the pretty committed in the SUI ecosystem currently.
EzMonetReply2025-04-08 19:01:16.426000
Interesting on SUI....know the token, not the ecosystem so much...is anyone there?
BrynnAliseReply2025-04-08 19:03:43.479000
it seems like the bigger players are a whole different crowd than on eth/sol. My group of friends here have been bullish on it for awhile. We all got in under $1 - it went to $5 and then back down, but there is a lot happening there. We have been collecting pfps and getting airdrops for holding things, etc.
EzMonetReply2025-04-08 19:05:27.144000
yes, the founder was at an event I attended in South Beach...I have been looking at token...but didnt realize they had nft stuff happening on there blockchain
DaveReply2025-04-08 19:05:36.004000
I can't keep up with bitcoin and eth, let alone all the others. Dabbled with sol very early on (still have some of the earliest SOL nfts), but never got comfortable with the chain reliability. I know it's much better now, but again can't keep up and was never comfortable with the meme coin meta which seemed like 98% of the activity there.

CryptoPunks on sale...havent seen these prices in a while on a USD level
EzMonet2025-04-08 16:48:20.902000
I am starting to see wild differences in opinion w the expert OGs I follow for trading/investing....Some are saying policies of US are trying to bring the USD lower in value, others are saying opposite and trying to bring USD higher. Some are saying we have peaked in the 4 year cycle for Alt coins and maybe BTC, some are saying a lot of upside ahead and a longer cycle. It makes for a very challenging investing marketplace in the shorter term. Long term until AGI, I think all in agreement of where we are headed...UP.

I find Ray Dalio and Michael Every 's latest twitter posts / writings most compelling. But I'm not a macro economist - just an engineer.....

TLDR?
DaveReply2025-04-08 19:01:55.811000
All about refinancing the debt. The current actions are statecraft and non-kinetic "war" aimed primarily at containing growth of one particular rising superpower.....
EzMonetReply2025-04-08 19:04:12.812000
Makes sense....so many layers this this all, esp when talking about US middle class and bringing manufacturing in light on AI advancements
ok so guessing 6529 gets to be keanu... so what all the rest of us then?
EzMonetReply2025-04-04 14:51:25.147000
hmmm....maybe Keanu is like a rare Meme Card, so 300 of us can be Johnny Utah

One mindset thought that blew me away from the study above & related discussion was to imagine the advancement that historically would happen between now and 2070 or 2100 happening by 2028, that much progress and change. π€―
There is a great hypothetical story about AI takeoff in the first chapter of Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark. The super-intelligent AI hides in the form of a multi-national corporation.
