tldr; London-based IG Bank reported on the Ripple case. The case could be pivotal for the fintech future in the U.S. A positive outcome for Ripple could see XRP soar, but with the case in the air, this is "far from guaranteed." *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

This cycle I got 500k riding, hoping to make millions. As more and more people go through this exact same thing the pumps are higher and higher. Trust me everyone who left crypto at 60K are coming back. Even more people are coming back. You need some time to pass. New kids will buy. Trust!!! If you’re buying now you’ll be very rich.

Slap your IG on that Paul!

I've had Nexo ads in Reddit for a while as well but it recently started seeing them in YT & IG as well.

deefjuh

I believe in crypto like I do with social media. That started with CU2, then myspace, facebook, twitter, IG, TikTok.. Perhaps the current iteration is just like MySpace and this all is just a warming-up. Maybe there will be new coins with old ones dropping off perpetually. What I do know that in an age of digitalization “e-value” is a logical step. That’s why I believe in it. But I also realize there might be a lot of failures yet to come before it being refined enough to be “common”/normal.

strvgglecity

Jesus. You're actually this stupid. I have no time nor interest in educating you. I wasn't sure this actually existed. But it's real. It's like having an IG below zero. Rising oceans, warming atmosphere, reef die offs, rising CO2, extinctions, droughts, floods, polar vortexes. It's all fake you, eh? I guess the ozone hole never happened either, and leaded gasoline was a lie? Lololololol

BlowGlassGrowGrass

Abullish92

They’ll get inspired but mostly don’t comment. I get hate averytime i post my bitcoin art - and some stuff is really cool, but Reddit is mostly for idiots. Sad to get that feeling 🤔 - so I focused more twitter and IG

RoguePolitica

Bad Twitter and IG messages from people I don’t know.

Good. As Spidey’s uncle once said “with a big IG following comes great responsibility”

blorpianblorp

The funny thing about Tik Tok is that it may be trendy now for the younger gens but the older folks are already starting to gravitate to it. Like FB and IG they'll slowly move over to the newer platform and the new generations will find new to jump on.

Rey_Mezcalero

He should create a trading system and sell it on IG

Double-LR

See this is what people need to repeat, how easy it is. Not that other baloney above, no offense to you up there mate. If people can manage to sign in to google then sign in and set up a IG account, post pics and comment… fuck me man all you need is a pencil and paper added to the list. Email account? Everyone has that shit. Phone. Again everyone. Sending sats is LITERALLY like copy/paste a email addy and make sure that what you paste is indeed what you copy. I set it up and straight away I said out loud, in my kitchen with my wife and kids messin about, wtaf I thought this was hi tech!?!?! My wife laughed because she knows I’m no computer guru. I didn’t even own a fuckin pc I had to go buy some 150$ PoS win11 machine to even plug my wallet in to and I figured it out. Dude I bought the wallet and was like “oh shit it won’t plug in to my phone. Welp.” Had to buy a little laptop. I started maybe 6 months ago stacking. I’m 43 and I’ve never owned a laptop. Lol. Serious. Fucking setting up the HP stream and learning how to clean install windows with no god damn bloatware is way harder for me than setting up a CB account, funding it, buying bit, setting up a Muun hot wallet, transferring it, setting up a pc, getting Trezor suite working, transferring to it, learning how to check block explorer. My son is 10 and I bet I could have paid him in robux to do it. Lmao.

Gohoyo

Maybe making a wallet isn't as easy as signing up for IG, but it's still pretty easy. Half your list is either unnecessary or incredibly simple ("setting up wallet" (?), writing down seed, least possible fee) and the rest could still be learned in less than a day.

thestonkinator

Reddit has approximately 52 million daily active users. They are rapidly growing in terms of a social media company. To have 5 million NFT avatars minted with 52 million DAU, that's major. Sure, some of those 5 million were individuals minting multiples, but still. The numbers speak for themselves and this is just the start. FB and IG integrating NFT abilities, twitter being known as a hub for NFT traders, Reddit spearheading this initiative. I used to roll my eyes at NFTs, but this is something that shouldn't be slept on

AriesWinters

Mate signing up for IG is just one click away with the 'sign up with google' button. For setting up a wallet, you need to download the chrome extension, set up the wallet, physically note down the key, copy it's address, figure out how to send your crypto from your exchange to that address, figure out how to do it with the least possible fee and so on.

Double-LR

Man, I thought it would be hard because I read so many comments like this. If someone can set up an IG or fukkn TT or FB account they can manage a wallet setup. Especially with hot wallets, that shit is sooo easy. I’d even argue it’s harder to purchase certain things than it is to self-custody them afterwards lol

Setyman

That absolutely won't happen. FB and IG are evil but they unfortunately are here to stay.

DVoiceOfReason

You wonder when society is ever going to learn that “influencers”, IG and TikTok models, and OnlyFans females are all escorts for the most part? And escorts is a nicer work for hooker. They are the lowlifes of society. And you trust your money with these soulless animals? SMH.

BlazeDemBeatz

That’s the problem. No one wants to work for it these days. You pull up IG or tiktok and see some guy driving a Bugatti or Pagani and want that instant gratification yourself. But never consider that was daddy’s money. So you take the laziest way possible to get there without really building something and it just backfired. 🤷🏻‍♂️ the American way.

PinkPickledOnion

Not a whole lotta influencers left on twitter because IG paid them all to move over then now it’s all on TikTok.

greendev

IG/Whatsapp accounts can be bought. Hell, reddit accounts have been traded big times.

RepulsiveCan5270

These guys are playing the perception game, like IG influencers pretending their life is full of joy and fun

BusinessBreakfast3

That's good. Adoption is happening! Nobody talks about TCP/IP and everyone clicks buttons to share stories on IG.

All that BTC... and their **website/trading platform is still absolutely shit** from a **UI/UX** perspective. If I place a limit order on a currency pair - please show visually on the chart that order. I'm constant having to read my orders, check that placed order at price of 0.000505038934 and hunt for that on the side of the chart. Because it's crypto there are 21m decimel places and it having to trade via remember price levels and hunting them out on the chart is insantity. Just make it all a visual trading platform, so i can just click on the chart and see my trade, my limit order, stop lose, profit take. [IG.com](https://IG.com) is an example of how to do it in the trad-fi world.

pinkisalovingcolor

I worked for a certain NFT company and we did do a lot of deals that included NFT gifts bundled into celebrity contract deals. In most cases, we’d have to work with their assistants to set up accounts and wallets for them. One celeb didn’t know their own social security number… only their assistant knew. It was wild. Anyway, I think it’s highly likely a lot of contracts included the pricing of the NFTs. Celebrity endorsement deals often include a tweet/IG post and remember, it wasn’t until the more recent lawsuits that the rules changed and celebs needed to mark when something was a crypto promoted tweet. The Jimmy Fallon “purchase” and subsequent tweet was pretty well curated. The tweet was immediately picked up by press. Any ape that looks vaguely like their celeb owner is probably a paid contract of some sort. It’s not to say some weren’t actually purchased, people invest in useless garbage all the time. As long as there’s someone willing to pay, it’s worth money.

estebang_1018

This would be similar to the IG ad lawsuit stuff. Like Kardashians representing miracle powders on their IG had to have #ad before it because the public was being conned for the most part. Celebrities endorsing products needed to be recognized as such.

devilsgospel666

IMO I see MATIC becoming the blockchain of choice for most if not all enterprise web3 crap. We already have Starbucks, FB, IG, reddit, and others. Highly bullish on it, I stopped DCAing into anything else in the same class because MATIC does it all better and already has a ton of use.

I'm sure I'm biased but I see the best risk/reward in Reddit Collectible Avatars. Just as much/more functionality as those others (access to a community + pfp + actual interchangeable traits). The fact that proof of ownership is built into Reddit's platform already is huge, FB/IG are just incorporating this now, but Reddit is leading the way. The interchangeable traits are huge also imo. Sure, randomly generated traits of BAYC are cool, but what if you could buy multiple and mix to create your own personalized one? That is Reddit CA.

Altruistic_Astronaut

You would expect a bunch of IG baddies at the house for billionaires.

ReasonableHat600

eyerollingsex

Matic getting adoption from Facebook/IG and Nike all within a few days in a bear market? Buy this shit lol

Safe_Resolve210

Very true, I’ve had this argument with a couple of dudes, CEXes still play a little bit of relevant role in the crypto space. We need to understand that. Until there’s some valid replacement for the complete utility of CEX , we might still need them. The quatrain now comes to IG the CEX you’re suing is reputable and reliable. I use MEXC, not a bad exchange and it’s very well has god liquidity. Binance is good also. Ledger remains my major place to store my assets though.

0-Give-a-fucks

Facebook is gonna fade away as they figure out how to clawback eyeballs with IG and Reels(?) and shit. Lizard boy's big ideas are going dark. He'll still make bookoo mad money from the others though.

peteZ238

Yeah just had a look. I’m not into IG that much but it is quite interesting tbh. They’re adding support for phantom and MetaMask so the implementation will be quite interesting I reckon. Rate of adoption will most likely skyrocket but I don’t even want to imagine the amount of scams this is going to create. IG is already riddled with day trading “courses” and the likes.

tldr; Two US lawmakers have requested answers from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) about its rulemaking process. Their request followed the latest SEC Inspector General report that “raises significant concerns that the agency is trying to enact too many rules, too quickly” Senator Pat Toomey tweeted, “I’m deeply concerned by the IG report finding that the SEC *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

-Mirrored-

> The IG report notes that from January to August this year, the SEC proposed 26 new rules, which was more than twice as many new rules as it proposed during all of 2021 and more than it had proposed in each of the prior five years. Sounds like they have too much power to me.

devilsgospel666

Never in a million years would I have thought Reddit is the crypto vanguard. Not Google, Apple, FB, IG, Gamestop, banks, name another huge financial/tech/tech-adjacent institution. Good job not only seeing the future, but also implementing it in a way that makes sense.

pibbleberrier

You can never stop the bleeding if you dont even attempt to close the wound. Twitter's ads were never that profitiable, IMO I think previous management grossly miscalculated how their platform is being use and current meta in social media advertisement. Influencer plays a big part in social media campaings. Witch work really with Visual base platform such as TikTok and Instagram. As a company you can do a coordinated push with influencer in sync with your ad spending. You can do none of that in Twitter, ads aint even that targeted and you can block it all on a day to day basis if you use a brower (unlike IG and TikTok, the ads are build into the app experience) This ad as revenue stream model is not working out for Twitter yet previous management's response is to continue down the path of unprofitblity. Elon's first move, whether is it true intend or not. Is to bring is process to generate revenue. I know we are arguing its merit but somehwere out there are lots accrediate invester waiting to see if the now privatize Twitter is investable. I bet you they are taking notice here

pibbleberrier

Yea I think Elon being Elon. We are all guessing what his next move is what exactly he is thinking. I see two different type of influencer and their business model on Instagram versus Twitter. Instagram influencers mostly push actually purchasable product, aka Dyson vaccume cleaners and tricket due to the visual nature of their platform (all photos or videos). A key reason why Tiktok and Instagram are still doing pretty good on the ad revenue side of things because their ads are part of their app, can't be blocked and it intergrate seamlessly into their app user's daily usage of the app. Instagram attract advertiser that range from individuals to small business to mega corporation. If you pay attention to influencers in IG and tiktok. You will notice alot of them seem to push the same product at the same time, coordinated by some kind of ad campaign from the same company. So here not only has instagram capture ads from the influencer (to push their own post) they also capture the same ads from company. Twitter has an opposite issue right now. Its one of the only predominately text base social media platform during a time where visual based platforms are drawing all the attention. Their ad revenue model rely heavily on the big businesses and the effect of the ad pales in comparison vastly "untax" group of influencer that are actually making a living on the platform. The return for advertisement on this platform is low. Majority of the ads can be block if you are browsing from desktop. It is not very targeted and you cannot strategize a marketing plan unlike with instagram. Influencer here mostly push ideas, and digital product (mostly ideas tbh). This is a very difficult crowd to monetize for twitter. Not only have they lose out advertisement from big corp. They have capture zero of these influencers's profits thus far while driving their core business advertisement further and further away due to all the political correct stance they have they taking. I reckon they would keep the current KYC and check points in place for a bluecheck. Which leads to the next questions, how much resource WERE they pouring into verification previously. Nonetheless with a subscription base model, they can now justify on an accounting level the resource they use in this department with the income they receive post verification. I think it is a very interesting move by Elon to not alienate the exisiting free user. At the same time we are hearing rumor that Elon wants to turn Twitter into Wechat of the west. Which is huge, apps are oversaturated nowadays but we here in the west still do not have a superapp on the scale of Wechat. This has nothing to do with the bluecheck, just to underly how much Elon understand userbase/social media interaction/business ventures in general. Twitter has largely remain unchange since its inception business model wise, Elon is aiming to change that and I think his first step being "taxing" the "ruling class" on the platform is a great change. Anyways all speculation. But alot of the hate for the $8 subscription service comes from people that have not, will not and cannot make a penny from their twitter account and they can't imagine people making money from twitter. Yet people have made millions off of twitter pushing ideas and now Elon is finally recognizing this crowd and "taxing" it. How effective remains to be seem. But I forecase at least 80% of the exisiting bluecheck paying to keep their bluecheck. ​ We will see.

Calsmokes

Man I have a bitcoin IG. My whole DM list is full of this. Just decided to respond to one just for fun

Calsmokes

Because bitcoin has unlimited potential. But In reality I was more curious as to what the angel was here. His IG had 7 posts none of which did he have a Rolex. Much less someone who could afford one. I wanted to know HOW if he sent me money could he get it back once it was in my account and I had turned it into bitcoin. And I have since learned getting money back from PayPal is easy as hell and I shouldn’t trust it 💀

seeebesco

Most humans are OK w/ the nation state and its tools to keep them/the nation safe. And they like to make money. Given all this and IG's popularity, this has the potential to lift it, creators, NFT's, and crypto. I call that a win.

calvinbrannigan

because the polygon & IG news was already announced months ago, also being a bear market positive news doesn’t really pump anything

rainforestguru

IG is ruined now with reels. Their agenda to be a copy of Tiktok has completely turned it into a never ending commercial

BlazeDemBeatz

I’ve seen this guy before on my IG Feed I think with 50 cent. Stunting and giving away (other peoples) money.

dig1future

That's where we are headed anyways dude. Not just with Zuckerberg but worldwide. Think there is a UN plan for digital identities though not sure if that will be implemented over time. The rumours out there is that de anonymyzing the internet will be next after that. This seems secure to me due to how well protected for the most part FB, IG and the rest of the Meta hub seems to be. I guess its more of an intro and easing into the future of what is to come.

Aerocryptic

cause there was an announcement about Polygon NFTs being implemented on IG. It's maybe time to sell the news if you feel trading

samzi87

Seems that you also can us your reddit NFT on IG, thanks to them also living on polygon.

andmind

Why i should share my private key with IG?

Jounochi

Just tried on my IG and it worked like a charm! It hits different when you are posting a collectible you own that shows that you are a verified owner.

d_o_s_x

I'm not sure, I haven't tried selling any of the few I have. I'm planning on just keeping them until I'm allowed to do something useful with them hopefully. I spent like 40$ on them so making a profit wasn't on my mind. I was hoping to showcase them somehow on IG or Twitter.

LightninHooker

I do and I appreciate the words but trust me,my art is very average. IG is filled and I mean filled with unreal talented people That's all I mean, the level of artistic talent in crypto is just very low and it's actually normal. This is a tiny ecosystem so from statiscally point of view talented people,in any field, is just gonna be low

I know. Nobody cares about the art it just bother me people on twitter are saying that this or that art is amazing. When it isn't. It bothers me a fucking lot :D And that's my point if someday devs decide to bring IG artist into the game the whole NFT world would so much cooler. Like another different game

From an artistic point of view, all of those are mediocre at the very best. Some day devs will start going to IG to get real artist. Or go straight to IA which is light years ahead of all those "Artists" . Until then... keep getting them checks !

I beg to differ. Some platforms you could actually use to gather high quality information - Twitter, Reddit, Youtube... I doubt that's the case with TikTok/IG.

Many of the largest social media companies have already integrated some form of crypto: Facebook and IG have NFT functionality, only a short time before full crypto functionality. Reddit, as most of us know, is involved in crypto. Twitter will almost certainly soon with Musk steering the ship. Almost everyone uses at least one of these platforms, or multiple to varying degrees. Adoption is real damn close imo.

IG reel? Really?

Those scammers posing as girls on Twitter is not actually them, they steal random people’s social media content who aren’t associated with them whatsoever and then present it as if its themselves… that video could’ve may well been taken from someone’s IG story etc.

Twitter, IG, and Reddit DMs is the cesspool of scammers. Always assume that everything on there is a scam.

Or wait that someone builds it & then buy it as he did with IG & whatssapp

Yup, it will just be a money grab. It's customary for Redditors to use Avatars. On IG, FB and Twitter people mostly use their photos or jpegs – no point in NFTs.

You got scammed, then Contacted ANOTHER scammer on IG and are about to get Scammed again. Some friendly advice. Stay away from crypto, because the concept of due diligence doesnt exist in your head apparently. before you come back, you need to do a ton of reading and learning about the topic and even then I can honestly say, crypto might not be for you.

I agree that none of this makes sense. But I don't think I'm the last person this type of thing is going to happen to...the way to think about this is like you posted rap lyrics on FB/IG and your employer firing you for a possible connection to gang activity. Yes it doesn't make sense.

But I think that’s the big disconnect in your thinking- metaverse isn’t for gaming. Gaming is what people currently use headsets for, but the goal of the metaverse is for gaming to be a very small amount of the activities taking place. You’re hyper focused on there being more leadership in gaming, to stop investing in avatar (?!) and invest in making games, etc. When you say “no one wants to create another version of themselves”, I think you mean that YOU don’t want another version of yourself. Which is fine. But thats why there was so much investment in things like facial capture tech, so that even if your avatar is a wolf head there’s enough modeling to move your wolf mouth and eyes in a natural way. I think you have your idea of what you’d want the metaverse for. But I’m skeptical that you understand the ecosystem in a meaningful way. Investing in facial capture is THE WHOLE THING. Ensuring that your avatar will react and engage in a way that feels natural and connected. That’s the singular most important thing. Making a game is a super, super, super downstream function. And you can take a look at the SDK right now to see what devs have access to and are working with. It’s…. Unusual that your meta friends have this low level of understanding. As for me, meta made the right bet. Facebook and IG are fads. Zuck making this big bet is a bold move but kudos to him for not laying down and being a blockbuster. I’m a tad bit skeptical of success due to branding and the centralized v web3 type of approach, but the people working on it are strategically minded so I’ll be curious to see.

Very troubling. You shouldnt talk shit about other races and religions but come on. Isnt IG ban enough?

Goverment- ok thats a risk Hacked- on a reliable Broker 100% insured Company can steal- a regulated Broker cannot steal Company go bell up- If you use a reliable broker or Bank like JPmorgan. Low risk. I dont mean with a broker crypto dot com or Celsius Nexo else. Here in Europe nearly every Bank and Broker offers Crypto Trading. Example Deutsche Bank or Brokers like IG, Interactive Brokers and many more. These are regulated insured Companys with some of them hundred of years History. Why should i risk my Money with self custody. If i do a mistake its gone If my bank do a mistake its insured. I think for most of the People a simply Crypto banking solution is the right way. Just buy it over your bank and done. For Pro s like me sure self custody. But if my friends ask how to. I just say go to your bank or Broker and buy your bitcoins there.
