    Why do you like crypto currency?

    in general for blockchain:
    scarcity - today central banks print more money than ever
    decentralization - one of the most important computing trends
    cryptography / privacy - built on code
    immutability - can't be destroyed
    cost savings - as much as i don't like XRP it's a good example
    value transfer - with no need for 3rd parties (banks/paypal etc)

    and then most new tokens represent both representational shares in a company as well as providing use in actual applications

    smart contracts / ethereum is its own whole thing as well

    that's the right approach and how i advise to invest

    yeah i dont follow too many equities these days as i'm focused on crypto but i do keep up with advertising tech since i worked in the industry

    i think pins is pretty awesome if you're into the risk

    here's a fun article / podcast on them i'm reading now.. basically confirming a lot of my thoughts on how i look at them

    that said you can never go wrong buying google especially for the very long term.. they will be one of the top 3 companies in the world IMO for at least the next 20 years

    intelligent post bro thanks for this

    betterment and wealthfront are robo-advisors
    webull is a robinhood competitor

    haven't used them but not a huge fan of robo advisors seems like a meme

    and i guess webull should be pretty decent if it's gunning for robinhood's customer base

    It’s gonna get even more bullish the closer we get to staking

    i certainly hope so and that is just a short term trade

    one of the reasons for the pump is an EIP 1159

    medium.com/@​TrustlessState/eip-1559-the-final-puzzle-piece-to-ethereums-monetary-policy-58802ab28a27

    which will help burn even more ETH for tx gas fees

    @B0nfire would you say DeFi hitting $1b has anything to do with the price?

    Thanks, this is awesome!

    Which ones did you read and enjoy/learn the most from?

    Also, is Betterment good for cash reserves? Has a 1.84% APY compared to regular banks and better than Ally who has 1.6%
