lol good for GME. This project is unlikely to produce anything usable but is likely to get an insane amount of media coverage and keyword searches.Just googled for news about this
Gaming retailer GameStop is building an NFT platform on Ethereum
Details about the project are scant though it appears GameStop will use Ethereum as a technology base.www.theblockcrypto.com

Mark Cuban Invests in Ethereum Layer 2 Polygon
"I was a Polygon user and find myself using it more and more," Cuban said in an email.
I'm not sure this is a good thing, to be honest. He's a little too 'sell-out'/establishment. I wouldn't look for an Elon bump from this.
EDIT: and a meme cause I'm bored

He seems pretty engaged in the stuff past the "surface" level of crypto, he's in to the L2 stuff. who knows if it's good per se in any timeframe. I would take him over any of the semi-anonymous hedge fund guys.

but I do think the market needs to grow up a bit and stop reacting to literally every piece of news, I understand that is the nature of a younger market but it's kind of annoying and detracts from the legitimacy somewhat. Stocks aren't much different these days though.

I just see him more as a market figurehead/influencer than a crypto guy. Not saying he doesn't know anything. I don't know. Just wary of too much attention too soon in the development process when they can 'insert safety measures'. Is already chatter and I don't think him saying he's getting more involved helps.
The reactions now are because noone trusts anyone anymore lol. First thing everyone asks is, 'Is this manipulation?'. Battered wives.

Honestly don't think Cuban is going to hurt Polygon. I get what you guys are saying about the issue of celebrity endorsements, but the issues with celeb endorsements are more about when they shill bullshit coins than anything else.
A quality product like polygon is going to keep trucking with or without Cuban. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I read something about poly wanting more Western exposure anyway (the devs are Indian). I think that's one of the reasons they changed the name to polygon.

Currently got $20k in mostly BTC and ETH. A couple thousand TRU and over 600 MATIC.
Cost basis of BTC is $45k. Cost basis of ETH is $2.2k.
My cost basis with BTC "should be" like $20k, but I sold once at $32k and again at $50k. I also bought more at the ATH.

Volatility is both the reason to invest in crypto and the reason to stay away from crypto.
Read the charts and make the best decision you can. It seems we're back up to testing the 50 SMA:
The question you have to ask yourself is, "Will the 50 SMA test pass or fail?". We're also beyond the 100 SMA scramble where a lot of people bought back in, but that doesn't mean it won't retest or something maybe.

I was buying a 50/50 split of ETH and BTC during the correction and it seems that while ETH is still influenced by BTC it's no longer completely tethered to it. It didn't see the losses BTC saw and ETH charting is no longer indicative of BTC charting. You can see that ETH is doing much better than BTC, testing the 50 SMA, while BTC is testing the 200 SMA.

Yep. whats going to happen if Epic and/or Steam announce the use of Eth NFT's to allow video game resales, with baked in % being paid back to the devs?
hell, one of the other here, should be REALLY looking into it right now. Epic game store getting on this and Steam not, could result in a titanic shift in gaming.

staked Eth on Coinbase, or Kraken is converted to a staked coin. its no longer "Eth". thats why coinbase has that eth2 ticker. Kraken has s.Eth, and Eth 2. s.Eth being staked Eth, and Eth2 being staked Eth rewards. both of which are untouchable.
no. you don't need to stake all of your Eth. don't need a separate account or anything. its already going to be separated from your non-staked Eth.
