ACA

Specialist_Pie366

This is how far your precious Obama care lasted the enhanced premium tax credits, which have significantly reduced premiums for many, are set to expire at the end of 2025. Without a renewal, most ACA Marketplace enrollees can expect to see their premiums rise substantially, and some may lose eligibility for any financial assistance. They lied wake up

And what about the 100s of thousands of federal workers and veterans being fired just because? National parks being understaffed with plans to access this land for resources? The companies that will have to lay off a bunch of people because tariffs are making goods unaffordable and they have shareholders to answer to? I totally get where you're coming from, but democrats (not saying any specific president) but VOTERS in general are very pro-union and workers rights. We want to see manufacturing succeed also, but historically the economy does worse under Republicans. That's a fact that you can easily search. The housing crisis and 2008 was a product of the Bush Jr. years and people lost everything then, too. Obama had a huge mess to clean up, let's not forget that. I'm not saying he was perfect but he did a lot to help people specifically the ACA. My special needs kid won't be denied coverage when he's an adult just because he has a pre-existing condition because of Obama. The billionaires currently "running things" aka breaking them with no real plan, are only doing it to give themselves a 4 trillion dollar tax cut. We will see pennies compared to what they will get. Don't be mad at democratic voters, we are in this shit storm with you, it's a class war. And we want to reach the same goals you do, we just have different ideas on how to get there.

Nightmare_Tonic

You're asking me why I disapprove of starting an economically disadvantageous trade war with our closest neighbors and allies, abruptly ending foreign aid to even more allies - one of which is currently under attack by a violent dictator who is an enemy of the United States, handing the US treasury over to a meth head who argues with people on social media all day long, and repealing the ACA without anything but "concepts of a plan" to replace it? All of this from a convicted felon and braindead socialite narcissist who ran a campaign promising to lower the cost of groceries and then renegged on that promise on day 1 by signing zero executive orders targeting them and instead dealing a deathblow to the struggling American agricultural industry? You are a clown. Go fuck yourself.

Constant-Kick6183

Nope. Slashing taxes for billionaires is the first move of every Republican administration since last century. Pardoning the poors he uses as canon fodder isn't a priority. He doesn't give a single shit about them other than when he thinks he can exploit them in an attempt to break the law or threaten someone. I mean he was president for 4 years before and literally did not do a single thing to help a single maga voter who was worth less than $10M. I don't get why those people dedicate their lives to a man who literally does nothing but exploit them for his own game and throw them under the bus constantly. Like Biden at least forgave student loans and lowered ACA premiums and all sorts of things for his voters. Trump just takes away their reproductive freedoms and takes their money, then slashes taxes for himself and his billionaire buddies and sticks the poor voters with the bill. Literally talking about slashing social security to give Elon Musk *another* huge tax cut.

The ACA wasn’t replaced because John McCain voted against it. He was the deciding vote in the Senate. Trump tried to repeal and replace it, but the president can’t change the law without congress. Btw, McCain for years talked about repealing and replacing it as well, and then voted against it. As far as the pandemic, he sent military hospital ships to NY. He sent ventilators around the world. Through emergency orders, he cut all the red tape around getting the vaccine approved. It would have taken years without that, and frankly, I’m not sure any other politician would have done that. Most politicians love red tape. The vaccines were first to market due to that.

Weird_Expert_1999

Just wait until they find out the ACA is Obama care - crypto go up

FatFish44

Yes, an executive order is a good example of type of rule. It comes from the executive branch and does not go through the legislature. A law has to go through the rigorous legislative process: voted on and passed by the house, senate, and signed into law by the chief executive, whether that be the governor or the president. This is why Obama went the legislative route with the ACA - it's unlikely to be repealed as apposed to an executive order that would have been terminated with the next admin. The definition of rules and laws have nothing to do with whether they allow something or forbid something. It's all about the process. Really these terms are government jargon. I used to work for a state agency and the process of creating regulations was called "rule making" It's crazy to me because not a single elected official is apart of rule making, all appointments.

Franklin_le_Tanklin

I’m still waiting for his amazing tremendous healthcare plan that’s better than ACA/Obamacare

thebigrig12

I seriously cooled off on dot and its ecosystem (ACA). Sold it all for massive losses and put everything in eth about a year ago

FlashOfFawn

It would be encouraging if anything ever happened. Sadly, the president elect is notorious for false promises. That border wall is still MIA and he’s still 3 weeks from providing his ACA replacement plan.

profiloalternativo

BEAM, MOON, LMWR, ACA, DYM, ENA… Low to mid cap coins that can easily do 10x..

LoquatiousDigimon

Just wait until they repeal the ACA. Remember that teenage acne or anxiety? Pre-existing condition! No coverage for you!

GeneralZaroff1

Hey Trump always keeps his promises. Just look at that built border wall that Mexico paid for. Or reducing the national debt. Or eliminating the federal deficit. Or eliminating the ACA. Or the 4% GDP increase every year during his presidency.

jetylee

Well, I'm a one issue voter honestly.... I'm a full time wheelchair user born with a bone disease... ever since Obamacare, my health insurance has been absolutely ruined... this year, I'm paying $10k for insurance, with an $18k deductible and they will NOT cover wheelchairs... in fact I buy new wheelchairs with money made in crypto. You able bodied normies were lied to from day 1 about "pre existing conditions and the need for the ACA" and that was 110% Democrats.

xlvi_et_ii

The President and their policies are relevant. Beyond legislation aimed directly at BTC/crypto, their economic policies have a huge impact on things like inflation or the costs of healthcare/childcare/tuition. These have downstream impacts on how much fiat you have and how much DCA'ing you can do. Not to mention the impact of their non economic policies. Good luck DCA'ing if you don't survive "dictator on day one" or you went bankrupt because "Obamacare"/the ACA was eliminated without replacement and you had a health emergency.

shanatard

first off, it's clear you have no idea what a strawman actually is and just wanted to try feeling smart The focus of your entire few first paragraph is on actions trump promised then ignored, and spinning that as a negative. how is it a strawman if i'm directly referencing and responding to your claims, refuting it as a positive? just like he made grandiose claims about the wall, ACA, immigration, the middle class (i could go on and on), in the end he made zero actions to solve them. he just ignored them all without even touching them while only yapping. crypto doesn't need the SEC fisting it around for progress, in fact it's probably the single most negative factor. crypto isn't a "problem to be solved" by the government to begin with. this mindset is what's wrong with the moonposters and astroturfers on here. Biden isn't running, but his team certainly is. the president's administration is what's important and they've long signaled they have it out for crypto tl;dr: trump is an awful idiot who'll doom america, but that's still good for crypto/bitcoin (tm). vote for harris because there are more important things than crypto in life

Darryl_444

I think you missed (ignored) some important parts of my prior comment: "including 2 years with full majority in both Senate and House" Obama got ACA passed with an even lower majority control of Congress. Trump just waited until the Dems got back in after the mid-terms so he could blame them for the lack of progress again. And: " openly prevented Republican-led bipartisan efforts" They had the votes to pass it until (unelected private citizen) Trump threatened everyone in his own party and, like the cowards they are, they caved to keep their jobs. So in a way, they also put Trump ahead of Republican voters, just like he did.

G3n3r1cc0unt

I like the Harris policies. Tax credits for new business, child tax credits for newborns. Cutting red tape to build 3 million houses. Think of the job this will create. And it will lower the price of houses. Plus tax credit for first time buyers. Codifying woman’s rights. Taxing the wealthy. No one making under $400 k will see an increase in taxes. She wants to fix the immigration issues. They are old and out dated and it shouldn’t take 10 years to gain citizenship. I mean what’s not to like? Trump still, after being potus for 4 years and not being for almost 4 more years still doesn’t have a plan to replace the ACA. All he did was provide a tax cut. One that we’re still under by the way. It favored the wealthy and put us $8 trillion in debt. She and Biden had brought industry back with all these manufacturing plants. Chips act. Infrastructure act. Climate change reforms, pact act, American rescue plan. Joey jobs created and brought back all the jobs Trump lost and then added millions more. The economy was flat on its back when Trump left and now we’re leading the world. Salaries are up and unemployment is down. And we’re not in a recession like most predicted we would be. And she’s right there by Biden’s side learning from arguably the most successful presidency in modern day history.

1: There is no way around the government. You can dream about it, but it will never happen in the US or in any other technologically advanced nation. Self governance is the best scenario you can hope for if you want less government intrusion. The internet was largely self governed for the first 20 years and exploded in utility and popularity as a result. The downsides were substantial but were outweighed by the upsides. Even Bitcoiners are hoping that governments adopt it as a reserve currency which will require significant regulatory frameworks. Regardless of the dream... libertarianism is impractical. 2: Government involvement is not always a bad thing. For example, healthcare costs in the US were exploding prior to the ACA. Many people have opinions on the ACA from the outside looking in. Many people share annecdotal stories of how something specific happened to them or "someone they know". Hell, my dad is a doctor and wasn't happy about it when it first happened because he can hardly navigate a cell phone. But, it was the best case scenario. It forced all of those old healthcare systems, providers, and insurers to adopt modern technology, which then allowed data mining, and resulted in astronomical savings over time. This lowered the overall member cost of insurance significantly. I work in the healthcare tech sector. It was hard. It hurt at first. But the results were absolutely worth it and the market would have never matured at this pace on its own. Healthcare companies are now run like tech companies and decisions are driven by data rather than pragmatism. So, to your point and my statement, we have examples of Democrats and a small number of good Republicans fostering and implementing technology in a responsible and industry defining way within the last 15 years. I can't really think of a Republican sponsored initiative from the Trump or Bush years that was tech forward and innovative. If there are some, I'd love to hear about them.

tycooperaow

Because he fail to come up with a good replacement for it. It’s less that congress shut it down and more of the fact he never had a good policy to replace it and thank goodness for John Mccain because that would have been god awful for people on ACA and companies not able to get coverage for preexisting conditions would have been horrendous

shanatard

You guys are completely missing the whole point Trump is good for crypto because he's an absolute regard with zero clue and will forget about every promise he's made. The wall? ACA? Completely ignored *that's what you want*  if you want crypto to succeed, it needs to be ignored. not the deliberate attempts at dismantling crypto biden/harris admin tried though the sec. They had to forced by the court and were told to stop being frivolous Harris is 4 more years of the same attacks. Trump is far better in that regard for crypto specifically I'm voting harris because im not single issue, but I'm not about to let the astroturfers gaslight and whitewash what the biden/harris admin has done

fulento42

Nah things change over time. People change policies sometimes when they’re wrong. Look back at the whole gay marriage movement. Even liberals opposed it originally. Clinton and Obama were very stand off ish and supported straight marriage only. Next election cycle they all supported gay marriage and have continued to do so. Or she could maintain status quo. We don’t know for sure. But tbh I doubt she had much input on crypto policies as VP. Same thing happened to McCain swapping to support ACA. Just for an equal example of republicans changing their mind. We are all adults and should not be beholden to every idea we’ve ever held if we’re willing to see the right way and approach it.

i'll counter: 1. he *claims* he's anti crypto just like he claims he's building a wall or has the best replacement ever for the ACA. reality is he'll do nothing. i will *never* evaluate his words because i know they're worthless. i'm evaluating his actions, and his actions of completely ignoring the space is the best possible outcome for the industry bar none. 2. i'm just stating the two sources of drivel i see here everyday. obviously you fit more into source 1.

Still waiting on that ACA replacement plan he had ready for Day 1

Ap3X_GunT3R

- in 2005 he introduced an amendment to eliminate Minnesota’s minimum wage - in 2009 he attempted to shorten the period for drunk drivers licenses being revoked. He also voted against tougher punishments for drunk drivers. - he advocates for repealing the affordable care act. The ACA insures 45 million Americans. The Republican Party has been saying for over 10 years they’d propose a replacement and have not. If it was up to emmer, he would strip healthcare away from 45 million people without a backup plan - he denies climate change - he proposed lower minnesotas corporate tax rate multiple times - 2020 election denier - emmer voted to prohibit funding for the vice president Kamala Harris There ya go

1fastdak

This is how I have my retirement planned. If your house and cars are paid off when you quit you should not need much. You will not be taxed on capital gains if you only sell what was stated above. With low income you can get very subsidized or free medical insurance using ACA. If all goes to plan I will retire in about 6 years at age 50. 40k with minimum bills leaves lots of money for travel and stuff as long as you don't get too stupid.

EeveeBixy

What's the proposed republican alternative? Let's wait here for the next few decades until they come up with one. (Maybe it's private donations for church food bank programs) It's the same shit with removing the Affordable care act and/or Medicare. Are they the best systems? Absolutely not. Although, one could argue the ACA would have been significantly more impactful on reducing medical costs if it hadn't been stripped to basically nothing in congress. So the alternative is free markets for insurance companies? Yeah I'm sure that will lower costs on a non-elastic good. Plus I'm sure all of those insurance choices will end up combining into 2-3 main choices, like we basically already have. Or if you are fortunate enough to have company provided health care, no choice. Oh wait, I forgot about the argument that if you want different/better health care coverage you should just do the super easy thing of spending months to years applying for a job with better benefits. Let's just hope you don't get fired and lose everything.

fulento42

> facilitate Covid vaccines Then convince his base its a liberal scam > promised to redo healthcare Couldn’t and has no plan. Just tried reversing ACA > made tax changes Gave $1.7 trillion tex break to the wealthy then created the fraud ridden PPP loan > started building a wall But didn’t and his buddies got convicted for stealing “build a wall” donations by his voters. Also the wall already existed in part. He continued is all. > lower gas prices Tell me you don’t understand capitalism without telling me you don’t understand capitalism > he’s been surprisingly honest Might be the dumbest thing I’ve read today

asdfgghk

You can disagree with his policies but he’s been surprisingly honest (the details to get there maybe not so much). Start building a wall, attempted to change ACA (he failed), vaccines in a year, reduce illegal immigration, make tax changes, no new wars, lower gasoline prices, try to make piece of NoKo, recognize Jerusalem, etc.

CantaloupeCamper

I think they discovered that a lot of their voters liked having insurance and every step they wanted to take was going to be deeply unpopular. Back when the GOP had some honest commentators who were brave enough to deliver bad news some of their media folks some straight up said once the ACA passed that it was simply OVER and they would never be able to repeal it. Not for legal reasons, but because even if they convinced voters it should be repealed thta the next day when voters found they had no insurance, pre-existing conditions exemptions were back and so on ... they'd be toast politically.

newaygogo

The whole post is about Trump and his habitual lies. Examples include: Assange, ACA, gun control, Syrian refugees, abortion, torture, taxes, his opinion on Hillary Clinton, etc. The fact that he’s also an accused rapist has nothing to do with it.

ephemeralentity

Oh yeah, last time the legislative agenda was to eliminate the ACA with no replacement and pass a corporate and individual wealth tax heavily weighted to the upper percentile. But this time, he'll do the popular things because ... this time he doesn't need to be re-elected? Geezus christ, your argument has the density of a neutron star. I guess this is what it must feel like to be all-in on a political narrative.

Zombie4141

He said he would •appeal the ACA and replace it with something better. But didn’t. •He said he would cut our taxes and the rich would pay more. But he did the opposite. •He promised to eliminate the federal deficit. He increased it by 60% •He said he would hire only the best. He fired record numbers of people from his personally selected cabinet. •he said he would drain the swamp. He instead added more billionaires to positions they were unqualified for which led to more tax payer dollars going to the rich. •he said Mexico would pay for the wall. Over $10billion American tax payer dollars have been spent for his wall. •he promised to end DACA. He didn’t •he promised to end North Koreas nuclear program. They expanded it under his Administration. •He promised to end the opioid crisis. It got worse under his administration. •he said he’d release his tax returns. He didn’t. •he promised to enact term limits on all of congress. He didn’t. •he promised to protect and expand jobs for steel and d coal workers. Those jobs kept decreasing under his term. I could go on and on but I know you’re not still reading this.

brianddk

No need to burn the political capitol on a veto threat if it's blocked in the senate. Same crap they pulled with ACA years ago. Everyone play saber rattling to repeal it when it wasn't up for a vote. All posturing, no risk.

Great_Gate_1653

You do realize Congress opted themselves out of the ACA, despite most Americans calling for term limits they have not and will not self impose. Taxing the rich is just a feel-good, sounds good appeasement to tell poor people. This is the same as thinking that giving more alcohol to an alcoholic will cure them. It's reckless spending to ensure political positions. Our government will never self impose any rule that impacts themselves.

lukeyboots

Dude, trump literally dismantled the Affordable Care Act. Something that took decades to gather the public & political support to get it to pass. I know the ACA was far from perfect, but it was at least a start on the dumpster fire that is the US Health System. Yanks pay more $ per capita for health care than any other developed nation. Yet have some of the worst outcomes. Affordable & accessible HC would cost every US Tax payer less if you implemented it right.

Quixote0630

I don't know enough about STRK and ACA to comment. I'd dump ALGO and XLM as I think they'll underperform against other alts. Not holding GLMR but nothing against it. Would hold if your entry price is decent.

HunterHunted

Which do I keep around for alt-season: GLMR, STRK, ALGO, XLM, ACA? Dumping the others. They're all left-over mini-stacks

HunterHunted

I have a few coins with <$10 in them, from rewards or just left-overs. Would love some insight into whether they're worth holding just to hope for a x2-4, or if I should just sell it all for ~$30-50 to consolidate elsewhere. They're: GLMR, XLM, ALGO, STRK and ACA. Not a very high-stakes dilemma I know, but I can't make up my mind.

trrrring

For some reason I read ADA instead of ACA.

HunterHunted

Holding some ACA, STRK and GLMR dust from the old DOT parachain staking. ACA and GLMR have both performed shockingly well in the past 7 days (82% and 49% respectively), just too bad I'm holding pitiful sums. Truthfully I don't know anything about these projects. Are any of them worth holding on to? Are they worth buying more of? Is STRK poised to break out like the other two have?

HunterHunted

ACA pumping close to 20% in one day is an absolute mystery to me

HunterHunted

Speaking of DOT, I've still got some pitiful amounts of the reward tokens I got for staking a few years back. Is there any hope whatsoever in clinging on to Moonbeam (GLMR), Starknet token (STRK) or Acala (ACA) anymore, or should I scrap them for what little they're currently worth?

“The wall was started” lmao a brick was laid bravo 👏👏👏 His tax cut was temporary and will bite the middle class in the ass in a few years. “Recognize Jerusalem” which accomplishes what exactly? Trump might take credit for energy independence but that was going to happen no matter what. We’ve been on a clear path since 2005. Before the vax, Trump downplayed the pandemic, spread misinfo, said it would just disappear. And Trump had no plan whatsoever to replace the ACA.

asdfgghk

Tbf the wall was started. He said he would cut taxes, he did. He said he would recognize Jerusalem, he did. He said USA would be more energy independent, he did. He said vaccines in 1-2 years, it happened. He said he would try to get rid of ACA, he tried but failed. You can disagree with his policies, that’s fine and that He’s not honest about the route he takes to achieve his objectives though. Let me guess though, you believe the “we’ll forgive all student loans right before elections announcement candidates?”

SomeOneRandomOP

What amazes me is the short-term view of everyone here. Just about everyone in the channel are bullish on BTC, yet are trying to guess and time the market...yes, there might be a retraction in the near future/sell the news etc etc etc but why not just buy the alts you believe in and hold for the distant future? Ive brought DOT, SOL, ACA and will hold for the next year at least, no matter the market movement or until it reaches my exit point

reddorical

Do more homework OP Read up on: * Polkadot itself * KILT (& Deloitte) * ASTR (Astar; Lots of real world action in Japan and SE Asia; interop with Ethereum, Polygon, Polkadot and therefore other parachains) * GLMR (Moonbeam; so many partnerships) * TAO (Bittensor; AI neural network has been raging since October) * ACA (recovering from the hacks earlier in the year with strong TVL) * Prime (dex)

StrB2x

GLMR didn't get hacked. That was a bridge hack. ACA was bad coding by their team that caused allowed people to get more AUSD than they should. I wouldnt touch a decentralized stable coin after ust personally so i wasnt near that. Has nothing to do with DOT itself.

iamnobody331

Jeez mine was way off with ACA

Ferdo306

Well some of them were money grabs like EFI which was quite popular Some of them got hacked like ACA and GLMR which were also very popular Many of them didn't get any adoption So all in all, was expecting more. But I do agree that the timing wasn't ideal having in mind the end of the bull run

Ferdo306

Yeah, I also hold some ASTR which is the only parachain which seems to be holding well I remember most were bullish on ACA and GLMR but guess people lost faith after the hack I still hold a bit of RMRK as I find the project very interesting. And OTP cause I like and hold TRAC so I got it as an airdrop

EngineeringFinal3419

You are talking about DOT. Not the DOT ecosystem. Big difference. His doesn’t include KSM, ACA, KAR, HDX etc. Plus Avax only has 30k active users as well, but that ain’t considered ‘dead’

magus-21

>Bill Clinton 1) created the legislation allowing for sub prime lending, 2) signed the Gramm Leach Bailey Act 3) Repealled the Glass Steagal Act (required separation of Investment Banking from other Banking) 4) Deregulated Swaps Legislation is not administration. Laws passed by the legislative branch only provides the framework for the administrative branch to structure its execution, and it's the execution that matters. Legislation is, purposefully, coarse and imprecise. It's up to the administration to execute and enforce the legislation in a reasonable manner, which is why I lay blame mostly on the party whose administration executed the legislation rather than the party whose administration signed it into law. Just as an example, Trump's administration (and various Republican state governments) did the **absolute minimum** to execute the provisions of the Affordable Care Act while still remaining within the letter of the law, and then blamed the ACA for its inefficacy.

jekpopulous2

Because most people vote on social issues. I don’t like Liz Warren’s crypto crusade any more that you do but expanding the ACA, addressing wage inequality, protecting a woman’s choice, LGBTQ rights, the climate crisis, and maintaining a separation between church and state are all more important to me.

Negative-Structure51

Most of my DOT put into crowdloans is at 99% loss, but Centrifuge is creeping up slowly. ACA just melted away lol

DrRobbe

All these DOT parachain auctions end in a week: Clover - CLV - Dec 18,2021 - Oct 24,2023 Parallel Finance - PARA - Dec 18,2021 - Oct 24,2023 Astar - ASTR - Dec 18,2021 - Oct 24,2023 Moonbeam - GLMR - Dec 18,2021 - Oct 24,2023 Acala - ACA - Dec 18,2021 - Oct 24,2023 I assume the price of DOT and these coins to drop that day even further. Let's hope it recovers, i am going to stake my freed up DOT and hold. Also gonna hold ACA & PARA since the amount i got is combined below $3 currently :).

iwishiremember

I received quite a lot of Polkadot parachain tokens/coins (ACA, KAR, SDN, BSX) for locking DOT/KSM that are worthless now. Not sure why I keep them.

MakeItRelevant

I recently read that asynchronous backing will reduce the parachains' block time to 6 seconds and the entire TPS will be much faster. I love DOT, but quantity isn't quality. We need more quality parachains joining the ecosystem. One of my projects, DIA, has a quality case study on ASTR. I also like EQ, ACA, PDEX, GLMR, etc. We definitely need more crowdloans.

ultimaclaw

At this point, out of all ALTs I hold, it seems DOT, ATOM, and ADA have the best chances of recovery. Hopefully enough to recover my loss from other coins. Out of all parachains, I had a gut feeling ASTAR would come on top. Wish I had invested more in ASTAR instead of GLMR/very disappointing ACA—hope it recovers somehow.

disgustingquart59

You typically have to send your BTC to the lender's custodian. Alternatively, if you already have an account at the custodian, these lenders can have an ACA to put a lock on your account (so that the funds cannot move until the loan is paid off) in case the collateral needs to get liquidated. I recently came across a lender from a [Milk Road review](https://milkroad.com/reviews/arch-lending/#is-arch-lending-safe-to-use) that doesn't touch client collateral with solid rates that I found was interesting - [Arch](https://archlending.com)

iwishiremember

I hope DOT ver 2.0 will revive the project. So far parachains were nothing special, failures like ACA aUSD for example.

OMFGROFLMAO2

I'm getting ASTR as reward from the parachains lease, so far it has the best performance, even though being a dark horse between GLMR and ACA.

Soil_Electronic

ACA i can agree a wasteland. but moonbeam? They are working every day I use StellaSwap daily they work to improve it add new features add Xc transfers between parachains its not easy to develop fast

LightninHooker

You don't need the SEC to kill DOT. Parachains did that. VCs constant and infinite dump on retail and useless parachains that lock your DOT for 2 years just to get bukaked again. Biggest two projects ever, ACA and GLMR are a total and absolute failure. Nobody will ever lock DOT again for parachains and without that DOT loses his reason to exists No purchase power whatsoever other than "bull market everything pumps" . Every BTC sneeze DOT will always get obliterated . It will be always top on market cap though cos the huuuuge amount of DOTs in circulation so there will be always retail to be dumped on

tilac

Glad to see some positive vibes for Polkadot but I would caution on Acala (ACA). Since an error printed $3 billion of their stablecoin, aUSD has been off peg since August. Not by a little bit, 1 aUSD is currently 60 cents. When touting yourself as the defi-hub of Polkadot and your stablecoin has been off peg for 8 months, that's a problem. The Acala team has stated they will let market forces repeg aUSD or in other words, they aren't going to do anything about it. Acala at this time is close to a dead project and I seriously wonder if they will even exist after their parachain lease expires in October.

croa81

I also recommend to look into GLMR, ACA, and ASTAR. These coins will pump when dot goes up. They are the top projects that will a parachain dot auction slot. Easy money just think ahead

I’m 100% against CBDCs yes. However, when it comes from desantis- a guy who’s created an image of himself as a tough guy who will take action and has gone on record as being against critical race theory and tried to make a bill to actively ban it from being taught. He has also prohibited gender identity/sexual identity topics from being discussed in schools until a certain age. He’s actively against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in colleges and wants to cut these programs. He was against the ACA and has no real alternative plan and he’s against most gun reform/law. He opposes abortion and planned parenthood and he spouts xenophobic shit all the time about Islam or other religions. All of these issues are more important to me than someone being anti CBDC/pro crypto and that’s my choice.

That's all fine and good that they're pro-crypto until they axe the pre-existing conditions clause from the ACA (which they've repeatedly emphasized that they want to get rid of) and drop the hammer of tens of thousands in non-insured medical costs onto me. My crypto isn't gonna save me from that scenario. Like, I'm glad the Republicans decided to be the more reasonable party on a single issue, but some of us have other guns to our heads.

CBDC is a very concerning matter. I am worried about closed and mutable nature of cartel (permissioned) ledgers which is obviously has nothing to do with THE blockchain. But I wonder how would that Think Tank address this statement of Bank of England's Technology Paper: "3.1: Privacy Summary • Neither the Government nor the Bank would have access to users’ personal data. " https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/paper/2023/the-digital-pound-technology-working-paper.pdf?la=en&hash=A97A5C2056FF5CD4D494B1E6A2EED7B8271ACA54

> I'm sure most of you have heard about the developments on CFG, CULT, DOT, and AVAX I'm closer to DOT and some of its parachains ACA, UNQ, EQ, and PDEX. Polkadot's roadmap seems promising. I know CULT. This is one of the projects that are on my Defi's watchlist, but I'm not familiar with CFG. Is any major development incoming?

GoldenRain99

I made the mistake of partaking in their parachain auction for ACA. Absolutely should've dumped it along with the VCs

pupaza_din_salcam

Yes he does. One of the few videos I've seen on his channel were when he presented the coins on DOT and he shilled GLMR and ACA, naming them one of the best investments and so on. Actually he really made you thought "jump on them, they're gonna explode 100x". I like him, though when he presents projects and coins but I'm not taking into consideration any TA from anyone. I prefer to make my own mistakes. I'm really good at losing money, I don't need anyone to help me do it.

Oh god dammit here we go again. I enjoy jumping into these small politicians to see what else they support so we know what is also on the table especially come election time. - anti abortion except when the mother would die - some really insensitive quotes about abortion in cases of rape - wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Proposed some interesting HSA changes but not worthwhile to go into detail as it doesn’t make up for the number of people losing ACA. - voted against giving commendations to Capitol police after January 6th To give him some credit, there’s a lot of interesting stances on privacy and digital security. Comes off very pro-individual/privacy (not pro gov). Some consistency in these stances is nice BUT what undercuts this for me he doesn’t support in increasing funding for these agencies so IMO this is a neutral point.

StockTrix

Acala over-collatoralizing aUSD with its own ACA token? I hope to be wrong. Someone tell me they are multi-asset collateralized.

MakeItRelevant

I'm not sure about SOL anymore, but considering the last Polkadot Decoded event, I believe that DOT and its parachains ASTR ACA and UNQ are good picks. LINK is a great Oracle. Within the same class, I'm also holding DIA and API3. > What are your thoughts on this and are you accumulating some of these alts or waiting for some new narrative I'm doing both. CryproRank is being a great source to join IDOs and jump into new projects. But I rather invest over 90% of my money into well-established projects.

SyllabubAnxious2975

ACA has potential, don't know about others tho, will take a look. Bullish on the Angelblock, fundarising marvel in the making imo, really nice vision with democratization of fundraising, but its still early, not even listed yet.

xiwefe2

LDO and ACA seem like a fair pick..i dont know about others...I am bullish on AZERO and also THOL,i think it will be the biggest gainer from its ecosystem, totally new way of fundraising fully on chain and transparent. Also have been bullish on GALA at the start but i just feel they're not doing enough in the development part of gaming, not reaching the quality i would like to see from them.

ultimaclaw

ASTR because it’s one of DOT major parachains. Easy to stake compared to GLMR. Not inflationary like GLMR. Not being ERC20 means easy to transfer with no outrageous fee. Supported by many native Polkadot wallets. The other I would invest is GLMR and to a degree MOVR. GLMR issue is the maximum number of nominators rewarded per validator, and the minimum amount required to be competitive among validators kind of like Polkadot. Not so sure about MOVR and KSM future. KSM would be the other one I would consider. Lastly, ACA if it makes a comeback from the minting error/hack. So far, compared to LUNC/USTC. I think ACA/AUSD is handling the situation much better and didn’t collapse in days like LUNC did.

You forgot *Back in Red* - by DCA/ACA

astockstonk

I have ACA, ASTR and GLMR. IMHO - definitely keep ASTR. I think GLMR too. I am holding my ACA but have diminishing expectations for it. PARA seems to be offering Defi better in the Dotsama universe. Home that helps.

CartographerWorth649

This is my take since 2018 and even after this massive carnage, overall I'm overall green on my portfolio with BTC and ETH holding the ship! All the rest is red!! But I believe that's mostly because I've been buying into them for way longer! I'm actually very curious about Polkadot an how and if it will return to ATH or not... I'm quite heavy on their ecosystems with UNQ, RMRK, ACA, OCEAN, etc and wonder what would be the impact of the price of the parachain prices as DOT possibly struggles to make new highs...

Kuenzlerra

I really can't say you should chill if the price doesn't hit the 10k dem TAs on CT and biz have been talking about, so it would be prudent if you DCAd with capital ratio on BTC first, then spread funds into ETH ahead of the merge, then LRC, RIDE, ACA, and many other tokens in my pf I can't just mention at a stretch.

IESUwaOmodesu

GLMR, ASTR, ACA, PDEX are all solid bets. By the way, everything you mentioned is already a parachain.

IESUwaOmodesu

I don't hold ACA. They have recovered 99% of funds already, yes it's taking time. And the deppeg is just on Kucoin since no aUSD can flow back and forth Acala's network - once the network is back online, and only then, the peg will be reestablished.

TipTechnicali

I'm a great fan of Polkadot's crowdloans. I've got into ACA, UNQ and EQ crowdloans. Why there is no case study for Parallel Finance on Substrate?

StockTrix

Well I'm selling ACA ... that's a fuckin loss.

quickhelpthxx

And it shouldn’t. It’s one of DOTs parachains, not DOT itself. But as far as aUSD and ACA go, they’re pretty much toast now. DOT will be just fine 👍

CrypoFiend

The ACA was because companies were NOT OFFERING insurance to individuals. In insurance they group people into "buckets" based on risk and generate premium. This is only possible due to grouping large numbers of people together to share the cost/risk. The fact u could only due it through employers was ridiculious. The ACA basicaly forced companies to make groups for the public. This 1. encourages entrepenuership because your health insurance is no longer tied to your job. 2. Allows people to retire early since they can get insurance before medicade kicks in. 3. Gives Americans options if their employer doesn't offer health insurance or has a bad plan. I suggest you read up on it since you implied it was welfare. However I am guessing you are just against it because you are a republicans that just hates any democrat legislation because your republican religion told you to hate it without thinking or researching what it acutally is.

CrypoFiend

How did the ACA expand welfare? It had nothing to do with welfare.

Capital_Routine6903

Did you ever hear of preexisting conditions that either exclude coverage or jacked the cost of insurance? That was the best thing they could pass in the ACA, unfortunately, because politicians mostly work for corporations.

CrypoFiend

The ACA helped me get insurance for myself and my kids after retiring early.

resjohnny

ACA definately created affordable insurance options for many. Agree on Patriot Act though.

Curvycryptoqueen

Unfortunately I don't think this will outweigh the recent negative news with ACA

tldr; Polkadot’s innovation hub Astar Network has announced a partnership with the leading DeFi network Acala to supercharge DeFi on Polkadot. Astar developers can build new dApps on top of Acala-native assets like aUSD, LDOT, and ACA, while receiving extra ACA and additional rewards from various Astar ecosystem teams. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.
