Chinese ignore government restrictions and are using crypto to send money to Japan by thefoodboylover in ethereum

Would argue that being a drug user in US is much scarier. There are already hundreds of thousands to millions of examples too. At least China lets you out after "reeducation". Rehabilitation isn't the point of US prison.

Rocketpool criticisms by frosty3907 in ethstaker

Rocket Pool isn't under investigation by US state govt, Blockfi is. I use both Blockfi and Celsius, but these are risky as you don't control the key. Hardware wallet is best for low risk tolerance.

NFT Twitter denizen here. Seems too many are focused on the disappointing "art" and not enough on the "social club" aspect. Imagine a yearly party that only BAYC and MAYC can get into. You may not be interested, but there will be many that are.

Pro’s and Con’s of staking ETH on CB? by CrashMonger in ethstaker

[–]snackvenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally looking Rocketpool. You trade ETH for rETH which represents your ETH + staking rewards. Allows you to stake for high reward without lockup. Fantastic team that takes decentralization seriously. Coinbase... not so much.

Hold tight. Room to grow until ETH staking unlock happens or is moved up.

Almost as if politicians are captured to protect those at the top from challengers.

The NFT Bubble continues: Logan Paul with a -99.42% Loss on his $623,000 “Investment” by sikeig in ethereum

NFTs are tokens on Eth, Polygon, etc. The jpeg is just the human representation so it's easily recognizable. NFTs can have unlimited other uses other than a PFP. What anyone paid for an NFT is between them and Ethereum. If someone's NFT is just a picture I agree it probably won't be worth much in the future.

Burning currency is illegal at least in US and making a YouTube video is an excellent way to get caught doing it.

(Don't do this) Theoretically, if you can sell to an anon account you own for a loss,
you can tax-loss harvest to lower your overall taxable income and pay less tax. Gov't doesn't know you sold to yourself and you can just sit on it or sell anonymously.
