I was not trying to make a case for central-bank based currencies as much as I was trying to debunk the OP's title and post.

I am all for the separation of the federal reserve and the ability for citizens to obtain goods with currencies, I just don't think Bitcoin is the answer for any of that; it is a great poster child and has served to really bolster the adoption of cryptocurrencies, but like I said, there are many better options now.

And to infer that "digital money" was somehow created by or originated with Bitcoin is silly - it's the first cryptocurrency, but it's not the first, last, or best digital money.

Hope that clarifies my stance and intent. :-)

Most money has been digital for decades. It's rare that I actually use paper money or any other physically tradable asset for goods.

Bitcoin is different, but it's not a great system for digital money. Digital USD is way better and there are other cryptocurrencies that also do it better, if you're just trying to get away from the current financial system.

Incredible procreation rate. It reminds me of a house I went into one time where they had the walls lined with cages for all the little rodents. I don't think there were many in there at the time, but they were set up to have tons, so maybe they were planning ahead a few months. 

Don't forget that centralized payment systems have someone to go to if something goes wrong. Also, if you mess up the sending or receiving address in a defi transaction, or put in the wrong gas amount even, the entire payment could be subject to being lost.

I feel like this has to be a troll or a spam post. OP asked about passive income and you suggested betting? Please feel free to expound on how one can bet passively and get any kind of passive income unless they own the site (the house always wins).

The game is still developing - they are about to release the awaited "Thunderdome" events. It does progress slowly though because they are a small development team.
I missed the part about the $5k limit or maybe it was added, but probably it was late and I was reading while asleep lol, but you can easily use a very small portion of that to buy tools to mine with, and the game is not time-intensive, so it's partially passive. You only click 2 buttons every time the cooldown is reset. It creates an income, even if small at this time, that could be worth much more in the future, because even though TLM hit a high during the binance bridge announcement, it could easily go higher than that in the future.

But yes, most lands are more than $5k now, even though I have seen some go on sale for close to that recently.

As for RPlanet, you can buy a ton of stuff for $5k on AtomicHub and stake it all and earn very passively. Then you can watch the conversion rate on Alcor exchange and trade Aether for WAX and sell that on bigger exchanges.

There are also opportunities in crypto games. Some of them like RPlanet and Alien Worlds aren't very "fun" games, but you can buy items that can give you passive income with the games. "Land" is usually the biggest one, where you buy it and either stake it or people mine on it, and you earn.

For crypto games, the land sales can be risky and are usually much cheaper at game launch, but if the game does well, the prices skyrocket so you not only have a passive income but also hold a highly valued asset too. So it is wise to search out new crypto games and sign up for the initial NFT sales, be it land, items, characters, etc...

Agreed, I think that's why most places require licenses to care for more than 2 or 3 of any species at any time because it requires usually a lot of attention and effort to care for them properly.

Other than hearing the name thrown around rarely, I have only come across Enjin in one place - the game Lost Relics. I didn't care for the game all that much but went to give it another try and it said it required Enjin wallet to function all of a sudden. I didn't like that Enjin was mobile only since the game is for PC only, and that there was no real integration (purely separate entities operating through separate programs - felt a lot like an Eth game requiring MetaMask to function, but worse because MM is usable on PC and is already incorporated into Brave browser).

Since I never installed the mobile wallet, I don't know how usable it is or even could be since I use my PC for most all of my crypto-dealings.

I'll have to do some searching and see why it has the highest market cap; if that's true, it's an interesting fact.

Thanks for responding!

This is an interesting take. I usually think of the mining outfits as large companies or companies that have made enough to be able to move when forced (like this), but surely there are lots of operations that may just have to shut down because they can't overcome the barriers you listed. Moving across country lines isn't as easy as pick up and physically moving, there are import/export laws and regulations and stipulations that could all make it very difficult, even if you DID speak the language(s) of the new locations.

Thanks for sharing this perspective.

I started on Eth and have some NFT's, but it seems clunky and weird to go through a third party site (like opensea) to be able to see them (there is no built in function in MetaMask or TrustWallet to see your items, that I know of).

I am really getting into WAX NFT's and love all the items and gamifications that are happening with that chain, even though it has some undesirable setup/maintenance to it (CPU, NET, RAM issues).

Curious if there are other chains I should be checking out that are similar or even better.

Wow, 7 is a lot. Do you have to have a special license for that?

I have no pets. Pet fur and dander can clog up computer fans and I have to have my computer working perfectly so I can get more crypto! 

Most animal meat isn't really tasty in its basic form, which is why the spice and seasonings market is so huge.

Not sure why this thread hasn't been locked, as that free upgrade expired years ago and is no longer valid.

Is there a way to ping a mod inside a post or to mark a thread for locking?

Seeing comments about China vs US, as the post was a little convoluted in its purpose, or the title was misleading. Bitcoin can't possibly win the currency war, as it's terrible for that purpose. It may have its place as the original, but there are way better crypto options for a usable currency. Speedy transactions and low transaction fees come to mind immediately as cons for Bitcoin.

Maybe with additional development, but then it's possible that like with the Eth vs Bnb discussion, upgrades to the network may be "too little too late."

I could be wrong, but it seems like you might be in the wrong forum. Does that site not have a help/faq? Surely that's a common question if it's a standard feature.

It may not have been one or the other specifically, but it was a coordinated drawback from large institutional adopters who may or may not have used them as scapegoats to explain why they were taking so much out.

To look at the top 100 coins on coingecko, you can clearly see that most of the charts are almost identical.

I've only seen this kind of setup once, and the airdrop never happened and the server was deleted soon after. On any coin of substance that intends to stick around, the airdrops will be carried out over a time period defined in their whitepaper and to be distributed to as many people as possible so as to create a mass appeal. It's kind of like the old drug-dealer slang: "The first one's free."

And in discord, not only the project team will distribute, but you'll find that there will be key players in the community that will take an interest in the coin and also distribute it in order to boost interest in their investments as well.

Just the same as it was before computers - gold held value because it has a limited supply and it has valuable physical properties.

Yes! So much opportunity created here to make things better overall. It seems like a big hit if you look directly at the BTC price, but when you see the big picture, it all makes sense.
