NFT

Dazzyreil

I've been in crypto since 2017, just because you believe in it doesn't make it real. Besides stablecoins and bitcoin there still are no real uses. Smart contracts do don't anything. Name 1 game where crypto ADDS anything to the game? Oh you "own" the items? You never own the items ingame because when the centralized game goes down so does the asset and your precious NFT. You don't need smart contracts or anything to send a stablecoin. All the other things the other person mentioned are just acronyms from the current hype with zero applications.

I think this guy just wants to preserve information on the blockchain for cheap. Not look up long term tokenomics and blockchain bloat of NFTs. You can do this for free with bitcoin (as opposed to paying for an NFT). It's also the most immutable robust blockchain there is.

I think you can earn more by buying NFT.

EpicMichaelFreeman

That's why you use a blockchain that has reasonable text and image storage within the NFT itself.

> do you think it’s a good time to buy Solana  If you are a long-time Bitcoiner, you should understand a lot of token value accrual comes from ppl hodling and buying over time. I used to be a Solana supporter, but then I realized that the higher-ups on Solana envision the chain as a big liquidity farm to rinse retail and to feed select VCs and early backers. The consequence is that it destroys repeat buyers. Take ETH, for example. Its last cycle Web 3 (NFT, gamefi) meta sorely fucked a whole lot of folks. Many didn't return and put off crypto for good. It is the same with Cosmos' yield farming and airdrop BS. Have seen enough shit to learn to never bet on an ecosystem rigged to make retail lose. Every chain has scams and rugs. Not all chains have the foundation, founders, and top devs be in cahoots with ruggers and scammers. Avoid those chains at all cost.

>but in a world where we have smart contracts and NFT's and Defi, and..... Gambling on FARTCOIN sure is revolizionary

rrdrummer

Can't speak to ADA as that's a much deeper chain. My brother turned me on to XNO years back. Said it would change everything because it was fast and free. And yea, that's neat. But, here is the thing.... there are a lot of block chains that are about as fast.... and almost free. And those chain DO a lot more than just being fast and free. Like a Little Ceasers Hot n Ready... "is it good?" "well, it's hot AND it's ready". Okay.... but in a world where we have smart contracts and NFT's and Defi, and..... if it's just a chain that's fast and free... that's all it'll be. Since it's free, there is no real desire to participate. So no TVL, no mining reward, etc.... why would others participate? That's my 2 cent.... SUI TO THE MOON!!! (It's fast and cheap... and does a lot)

EpicMichaelFreeman

For simplicity, just upload as text and/or images entirely within one NFT on a reliable blockchain that allows decent size NFTs cost-effectively like Cardano. You won't need to point to IPFS or anything, just keep it entirely in one NFT.

2017 bull was fuelled by ICO hype. 2021 bull was fuelled by NFT hype. 2025 bull is being driven by institutional adoption, pensions, bitcoin treasury companies and national adoption. Not people trying to make a quick buck. This time being different is a fact. My belief that the next bear won't dump like in previous cycles is based on that. The complete lack of hype driving this cycle.

The partnership between FIFA and Avalanche raises several interesting points, beyond the usual cynicism. While the lack of transparency surrounding FIFA's previous Algorand partnership is valid criticism, let's analyze this objectively. Avalanche's subnet architecture *could* offer FIFA a degree of scalability and customization potentially lacking in a public blockchain like Algorand. This allows for potentially faster transaction speeds and lower fees, crucial for a high-volume application like fan tokens or NFT drops. However, the success hinges on several factors: the actual design and implementation of the blockchain itself, its security and auditability, and crucially, FIFA's commitment to transparency. A lack of clear tokenomics and a poorly designed system could easily lead to the same criticisms leveled at other poorly-executed blockchain projects within the sports industry. We need to see concrete details on their plans before making any definitive judgments. The potential for corruption remains a significant risk, regardless of the underlying technology.

Serious question. Can you buy your own bitcoin? Like say I have 1 bitcoin can I open another wallet and buy that same bitcoin? What I’m getting at is it possible this “whale” is just moving their own bitcoin around? This was happening with NFT’s. You could buy it for 5k, sell it to yourself for 10k, sell it to yourself again for 15k, then list it for sale for 12.5k and the sucker who buys it is going to think the last guy paid 15k for this thing when in reality the last few transaction were purely pump.

It also stops the bloating of the blockchain. For instance, Solana's blockchain is over 300 terabytes and increases several terabytes a month (bitcoin's blockchain is still far less than a 1 terabyte). This leads to centralization because some hosts have been forced to store the data in the cloud which can cost $30,000 a month. It also requires a ton of expertise just to track transactions. Bitcoin core wants to make it easier to add information unrelated to transactions (like NFTs or images) which can bloat the blockchain and increase transaction fees because you're now competing with the latest bored ape NFT in the mempool. They say this is because they are trying not to censor transactions but if you're preventing unnecessary spam is that censorship? Bitcoin has performed much better than other altcoins because it focuses on being a store of wealth! Why are we changing this?

What if he sold the NFT under a LLC, said LLC then spend all the money to reinvest in a 3mil property, which he can then rent for 1cent a month? Would any tax be owed that way?

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Musician Jonathan Mann, known for his 'Song A Day' project, made $3M selling his back catalog as NFTs in Ether (ETH) but lost it all due to a crypto market crash and taxes. After selling 3,700 songs, Mann held onto the ETH, hoping its value would rise. However, ETH's decline and the Terra ecosystem collapse led to a $1M tax bill and liquidation of his assets. To pay the IRS, he sold a rare Autoglyph NFT for $1.1M. Despite the losses, Mann continues creating and selling NFTs, aiming to recover his fortune. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Here in India I heard my friends "investing" in an NFT for about 100 dollars and getting around 5 dollar per day. Tldr is the same here. These are Ponzi schemes which can run only upto they can sustain the payment to old users through new money coming. Funny thing is that in these kind of online frauds, you don't even need to pay the users, you just need to show them on the dashboard that they are earning everyday and they are happy. They will also apply conditions like, if you let your payout on the platform, you will get 10% instead of 7 or something like that. Sorry I don't have anyway to tell you to convince her. May be only way to understand it is by getting scammed, pun intent.

ProfitableCheetah

This is actually a smart move by Mythical. They've been building out their marketplace with NFL Rivals, and bringing a massive brand like Adidas into FIFA Rivals just adds more legitimacy to the whole digital ownership concept. Hopefully this will be enough for normies to finally accept NFT gaming as a superior gaming concept lol

Hey everyone, I'm trying to publish my first NFT collection and was excited to finally mint it on Ethereum mainnet. However, I just realized I have no ETH left to cover the gas fees 😞 Currently going through a rough time financially, but would really love to publish this project. If anyone is willing to send a small ETH tip (even 0.002–0.005 ETH), it would help me cover the gas fees and launch the NFT. My wallet address: 0xea1C9e842d72cbe1C6382e716D2B9cb88aBc76Ba Thank you so much in advance, any help is deeply appreciated 🙏

MrTheums

Predicting the "next big thing" is inherently speculative, but focusing on underlying trends yields more insightful analysis than chasing hype cycles. The previous bull runs you mentioned highlight shifts in narrative, not necessarily fundamental changes in the crypto landscape. 2017's ICO boom reflected early-stage investor enthusiasm, often lacking robust project fundamentals. 2021's NFT/meme craze showcased the power of community and virality, but also the potential for extreme volatility driven by speculative trading. The next bull run will likely be driven by a confluence of factors: adoption by institutional investors (driven by regulatory clarity and improved infrastructure), advancements in Layer-2 scaling solutions addressing network congestion, and the maturation of DeFi protocols offering genuinely innovative financial services. We might see a narrative coalescing around these themes, rather than a single, easily-defined "weird thing." Don't chase the next meme; focus on the underlying technological improvements and their potential real-world applications.

Stray14

The NFT idea didn’t work out? Who’d have guessed?!

Prolly not.  Rumor was that he's starting an NFT collection related to his idiocracy... so he'll more than likely be getting some form of return to pay his creditors for all the funds he's wasted so far.

NFT's and crypto are a scam... if you still don't understand that, then prepare to lose even more. Stop blaming people for your obvious personal mistakes. You but you do it to yourself so I can't feel bad for you. I pity your wife though because you're probably going to take her down with you.

tldr; Donald Trump and his business partners are launching a crypto wallet tied to his Solana-based meme coin, in partnership with NFT marketplace Magic Eden. The wallet offers users a chance to win rewards, including 1 million TRUMP tokens worth $11.58 million. Referrals increase chances of winning prizes. The wallet is powered by Slingshot, a crypto trading app acquired by Magic Eden. The sweepstakes runs until July 4, and Magic Eden confirmed its collaboration with Trump's team on this project. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

As a Digital Artist I completely disagree. I'll start off by saying that I've never launched an NFT project, so I'm not trying to protect the industry or anything haha. But as an artist, I personally work fully in the digital realm. I make 2D & 3D stills and animations. Drawing with a pencil & painting were never things I was good at, but when it comes to making art on the computer my brain just gets it. So basically, all of the artwork I have ever sold and made money off of was digital. All the art I've sold has not been NFTs as they were generally made for a content creator or businesses in Web2. I make the art, I send them the files, done. BUT in the real art world (the one where rich people go to auction houses and bid) there hasn't really ever been an in for Digital Art because of the ownership issue. No one wants to buy a print of digital artwork, they want to own the real thing. Now I don't know if NFTs in their current form is the answer. I don't like the idea that the NFT is actually just a receipt of the transaction and the art is stored elsewhere. But the idea that you can OWN a piece of digital art is not stupid in the slightest. It's would be massive for the entire digital art industry and create a lot of openings for digital artists. Unfortunately with NFTs and the crypto community since they were treated as scams, all the bad art made it to the top lol.

What? You cannot screenshot BTC and have an equivalent? Sure you can screenshot a NFT and while it may be an equivalent product yours holds no value. Like fake pokemon cards since this is the example we want to use. A real base set Charizard is always worth more then a proxy? But for the people who don't care. All they want is a Charizard. They don't care that it has no value because to them it's close enough.

Bro, you have to buy my token, hear me out, it's an artificial intelligence blockchain quantum metaverse decentralized financial network with NFT utility agents and proof of meme consensus mechanism, and much more marketing buzzwords.

Great overview. Just a heads up that Sapien did a snapshot for $VIRTUAL holders and has a Squad NFT mint open for those who qualify. It connects to their upcoming airdrop.

And relatively speaking, Solana handled the memecoin mania better than ETH handled NFTs. Aside from some reverted transaction issues that got fixed very early on in the pump.fun days (back when WIF was the hot coin) and the part of the day where TRUMP broke Jito's TipRouter, Solana never skipped a beat. [And I know people will say "70% of transactions fail!" without realizing transactions fail if you submit them without conditions that can actually be met. The vast majority of failed transactions are from people not setting slippage high enough. The last figure I saw was 80%.](https://x.com/tamgros/status/1776396573393527253?lang=en) Compared to ETH being unusable if there was a single hot NFT mint going, and then even if you were able to get transactions in, they would literally cost hundreds of dollars just for gas and would take so long you'd be sweating while waiting for metamask to finally confirm it worked.

Without trying to shill too much, come join the Moonbirds NFT discord (not sure if you need to hold an NFT or just come vibe). With the acquisition last week, the discord feels like 2021.

Probably because it lacks the understanding these "coins" arent all meant to be used like fiat currency, and lacks contextual understanding of the underlying decentralized Web3 framework underlying the crypto markets... Theres 2 sides to these things, the "market side" where people and entities are trading tokens as commodities for cash, and then there is the Web3 side where these tokens arent just fiat replacements/memes, they represent decentralized infrastructure ranging across various markets and industries. Many tokens will not stand the test of time, true, Ive already said most meme coins for example will disappear the way most NFT's did. The market is shifting and changing as we speak with wider spread adoption by governments corporations and institutions, but the hypothesis that only 2 cruptos will exist in the future barring yet unknown applications just seems to lack knowledge and understanding of what crypto actually is outside of a moonshot chance of going from rags to riches

ecnecn

Alts like: When all banks world wide adopts XRP then I can buy the world with my 100 XRP portfolio. ETH like .... NFT 2.0 will change everything, there is so much utility for smart contracts but the industry Dogecoin like.... we need some cryptic tweets from Elon. In the end every niche solving alt-coin has like 10 copies that solve an additional feature missing in the original alt-coin solution. Total clusterfuck.

Why should it be lower? Lets travel back in time ... same statement is 2022 about 2025... Normal currencies always lose value over time. Bitcoin offers the chance for value-neutral storage and free exchange into more stable currencies like the US dollar or euro. A large portion of the populations in developing and emerging countries receive their salaries in deflationary local currencies. They also do not have access to modern gold or silver investment deposits, and many countries are unstable. For most people, the cheapest and safest option is to invest in Bitcoin - essentially a digital safe that protects against loss of value and allows almost fee-free exchange into any target currency. Fewer and fewer Bitcoins can be created, many have been lost, and relative to the world population and adoption rate, the total number is actually quite low - this factor implies an automatic increase in value over the coming years. Not just any coins, which offer strange protocols, niche solutions to problems no one has, or ruin their reputation with NFT gimmicks.

Why sell it at all. Turn it into an NFT and sell pieces of the digital copy and get way more

Responsible_Drive380

Have a look at this - was trying to post the image at the end but I don't think you can on this sub [use cases ](https://x.com/PawelSynapse/status/1883980980396122226?t=ol4sccp0M1TyzKViiEMqww&s=34) Basically finance, tokenisation, dapps, education (AF), NFT/rNFT/etc. It's doing a fair bit in India and Middle East too, along with United Nations. I think globally it's reaching into areas FIAT has had consistent dominance and breaking down a few barriers. It's not fully decentralised yet though... I think they're working towards it... But I think that might make trad institutions more comfortable at the moment. CMO is a good guy with a nice track history e.g. Google. Unfortunately John Woods has left though. Anyway, definitely one to watch and I think a solid mid-long investment for risk aversion 👍 Hope that's useful

4 community driven tokens in their early stages getting fucked by small cap traders trying to make $20. But if held for a few months at these low market caps, alt coin season can send these high. Sanji on Eth (cool OpenAI back story with NFT minting and card game being developed) Kcrab on sui (king crab can trade through Turbos DEX while Cetus figures its shit out) Genesis21 on Eth (The Peoples Bitcoin) Chuck on Base (this on is actually grinding higher and higher)

GME generally performed fine when it first announced its whole NFT marketplace idea and collaboration with LRC, etc. Outright BTC purchases are worrying because there's no innovation - it shows a lack of ideas MSTR gets away with it because they chose to make it their main business. GME never planned to be a buy and hold BTC whale

DogeSexy

To me, all about this sounds too risky. I don't trust this complicted, whatever working or not-working smart contract NFT. Too many aspects that can have errors, from the contracts to the issuers. And some websites of these RWA just have to many buzz words to be trusted.

Euphoric_Travel_3195

indirectly it's not for RWA trading.. any specific examples you have in mind, to me the RWA tokens is somewhat like a NFT ownership kinda thing.. that's my take on it, that the RWA portion of it belongs to you..

Rmccarton

Has nothing on LRC’s GameStop NFT market.

It’s interesting to see them following MicroStrategy’s playbook, using Bitcoin as a hedge and asset diversification. After all the rumors and their crypto/NFT experiments, they’re really going all-in now. I wonder how this will affect their stock and if other companies will jump in too. What do you all think—smart move or risky gamble?

GreedVault

Ordinals are already struggling to gain traction, and trying to tap into Cardano's small NFT community isnt likely to move the needle much.

Significant_Row_4322

Wow. THIS is how you launch a utility meme coin in 2025. Been in the space since the SPANKCHAIN days, and you’re right—those projects hit crazy caps off pure vapor. But what sets TASSHUB apart is that it’s actually shipping something people want. Adult content + cosplay + eSports + indie film? That’s not just hype, that’s an ecosystem begging for decentralization. 🔥 Instant creator payouts 🎮 Viewer rewards that actually reward 🎭 NFT-gated access + VR integration 🎤 Live DJ sets + cultural content = massive mainstream crossover appeal And using Solana makes it scalable from the jump. No gas wars. No delays. Just pure utility and vibes. The fact that Artlanta is backing this tells me they’re not just playing the meme game—they’re going for the culture win. Got in early and I’m not looking back. This one doesn’t just feel like a degen play—it feels like the early days of Audius meets OnlyFans meets Twitch, but all powered by crypto and creator-first values. To the devs and team—keep shipping. To everyone else—DYOR, but don’t sleep. These are the kinds of projects we’ll look back on and say: “I was there.” 👀 Watching closely. Bullish on $TASSHUB.

neoKushan

> I also guess they don't believe in Loopring anymore too hahah. I've been following the whole Gamestop saga for years now and I reckon most of their shit is a self-fulfilled prophecy. The various subs that followed them had a habit of making wild conjecture and conspiracy theories based off of some of the most tenuous stuff - like a random tweet here and there or hidden text on something. People would post their "DD" about how it links to this and that and then suddenly a few months later the prophecy was foretold - it all came true. And when it came true, the stock price would tick up because it was "proof" of this 4D chess plan from Ryan Cohen. But....it also fell apart just as quickly. The NFT store is gone. The crypto L2 stuff is gone. If this was some master plan, it didn't work, it generated no money, people hyped up NFT's as investors but nobody actually bought them. It helped the share price though. And every time the share price trends up, they release more and raise a shitload of money. Rinse and repeat this _every single time_. People keep buying more shares, share price occasionally ticks up, Gamestop then releases more shares and raises more capital. In hindsight, if you were RC - and of course you're browsing the subreddits and seeing what the mob is saying - and they started clamouring for say NFTs, what would you do? Ignore it? Or would you give them what they want - bare minimum, just enough to "prove" whatever story they made up to bump the share price. Doesn't matter if it works or not, the share price went up and you sold loads more to raise way more money, _ludicrous_ amounts of money. Mission accomplished. I don't think they ever believed in loopring or NFTs, I think the base leaped to that themselves and RC was happy to give them what they wanted.

Bro you could literally say this about anything. Two years ago I became addicted to NFL NFT’s and dropped $40k on them instead of BTC. You know how rich I’d be right there? You gotta let it go.

justletmesignupalre

Just create a wallet you'll officially declare, make an NFT with a picture of your cat, and have another wallet with the undeclared ton of cash value purchase your NFT. Tell the IRS someone you don't know bought your NFT, pay capital gains and go live your life. You are overcomplicating this. What do you think was that NFT craze from many celebrities years ago? What do you think memecoins launched by rich people are? They are either money laundering vehicles or bribe vehicles. Its very easy to launder, no gift cards involved, no moving to another country.

Syntaxif

Is this related to the market place of NFT drip?

asml84

This is not about manipulation, my concern is that the community might (unknowingly) live in an illusion. NFT were bought and sold for millions of dollars until people realized that it’s really just a few hundred people moving apes around. We might not realize that the active (!) crypto community — the people driving price dynamics through buying and selling — might just be a few ten thousand people; and if that’s the case the prices are not real.

Embarrassed_Look9200

that will keep happening unless the right law makers are in place to pass the required resolutions. explaining blockchain to boomers and decisionmakers is really difficult, they learn a little and pretend to know a lot. democracy is decentralizing the government, hope we can be better citizens thank NFT holders in a DAO. Member DAO's

GreenEagle09

To be fair this cycle was and has been meme coins. Last cycle the only memes of note were DOGE and SHIB. It was primarily about NFT’s and RWA’s. This cycle has been all about Solana memes with the inclusion on PEPE (ETH), and Ai/Ai agents. The altcoin peak was the TRUMP meme coin. Whatever happens between now and October is a sucker rally similar to last cycle.

HSuke

The Gamestop partnership went nowhere, and then the Loopring devs moved onto Taiko. It was a dream that went unfulfilled once the NFT craze ended.

khm51

It’s moving pound for pound like all other alts. It’ll go up when the market goes up. The project itself means nothing, the “tech” is bs in general. Hype is what makes a coin pump. They still have the GME NFT marketplace, so if that goes back into effect it’s not over. If it doesn’t, it’ll just move like the rest of the market

reed5point0

Neutron became it's own sovereign L1 a few weeks ago and just launched it's flagship NFT app, It has a robust set of NFT-Fi features coming soon, there's two genesis collections minting this weekend that are nearly 50% minted out already. As a creator myself, it's one of the easiest apps I have used to date for getting a collection live, it does all the IPFS for you. Highly suggest checking it out if you like jpegs.

At each Bull market there's an evolution of the players. Make a sh/coin, NFT or ICO doesn't get the immediate attention it once did, just a small bunch of alts survive and most scams no longer get any bootstrap.

Like ,since our stockpile of BTC is reaching very high amounts we can then turn back to the economy and start making tangible versions of fiat instead of just paper or NFT’s etc…

I wandered into the NFT section of my Coinbase wallet and saw some free NFTs from the old days in there. And it feels like a fever dream. Remember that? Remember people buying and selling these for like 50 ETH? lol

Post-ICO so it started in 2019 but really took off in the 2020 NFT cycle.

jawni

but then you'd also have to imagine that FIFA having an NFT collection on Algorand is at all comparable to them launching their own chain. Both things got the coverage they deserve, the only thing comparable to FIFA on Algorand that has gotten significant coverage would be NBA Topshot, and that was a first mover in the space so it makes total sense and was *wildly* successful. Something like NFL Rivals or FIFA Rivals would be a closer analog, and that also doesn't get much coverage. So I don't think this is some sort of agenda against Algorand, but rather just not worth covering.

Memes y NFT esta jod... Quizas nuevos proyectos como Yellow puedan hacer un x 100. Pero BTC, ETH, XRP,... aunmentaran valor, pero no irracionablemente altos como dices. Esa etapa con las instituciones de por medio se perdio.

Lots to do on Cardano IMO. I play the prediction market for sports betting and price prediction on bodega. I leverage trade the price of ADA on strike (up to 10x). I borrow against my ada to mint synthetics and and stake those so I get both a liquid staking APR on my ADA while staking my synthetics for INDY tokens. Idk that I'd consider my other activities of much interest.. yield farming, some lending or staking of other tokens. I used to trade NFTs but the market is dead as fuck. Although I am mining starch tokens using a proof of attendance protocol with an NFT.

10x is still a thing with memecoin but with NFT? I don't think so. It rarely happens. 10x with altcoins is still a thing if you can be patient. Coins like supra will grow bigger as the ecosystem keep developing. stake your supra in their citadel vault and get the opportunity to participate in upcoming launches.

My first project was a marketplace that included both an NFT marketplace and a token. I even went the extra mile and got an audit from a highly reputable company. Unfortunately, despite these precautions, the project was hacked. Most teams might have given up after such a setback, especially since the company that built our marketplace didn’t deliver a strong MVP. However, instead of quitting, we saw this as an opportunity to do better. We decided to create something with real utility—something so simple that even a four-year-old could understand it. To make this happen, I personally bought back the marketplace using my own funds. And then, this happened. Of course, everyone has the right to sell.

Sorry if not allowed but this is the post I was looking for, good communities with projects to get behind, NOT OUMP AND DUMPS. They’re low market cap, but have so much potential for this bull run. 3 projects to check out. $sanji is all created using ChatGPT with an NFT minting and card game being developed for release soon. $chuck has an awesome community supported by a beer and #ChuckToABuck. And Genesis 21 is a community run coin, the peoples $Bitcoin @Genesis21ETH

\> But that flexibility is also what enables real innovation. I have yet to hear a single description of any innovation for which turing completeness is useful. Any defi invention could be done with a non-turing complete language much more safely, avoiding the halting problem. But of course, every single thing invented or dreamed of for DeFi is useless, or better done without defi, or better not done at all, so perhaps its moot anyway. Gambling is what nearly half of defi comes down to, and of course useless, better done without defi, and even better not done at all. Dex's are another innovation, which are completely pointless because why would you trade away bitcoins for altcoins that have no purpose. Oracle problems are another, in which decentralization in impossible so the feature is useless. NFT's and tokenized assets are exactly that; Your NFT for a bitmap is worth exactly nothing because anyone can copy any bitcoin. Your tokenized barrels of oil have no value other than what a centralized oil dealer wishes to honor (IOW, not possible to decentralize) Futures and prediction markets are hilarious, because the oracles regularly cheat... being inherently centralized means there is no purpose for them other than to fleece idiots. And thats the same for all of Defi. There is no innovation. Not a single altcoin has any purpose. Its all smoke and crack pipe dreams. Bitcoin is \*the\* innovation, the only one in the whole space. Its just a set of fairly simple technologies elegantly stitched together to create a sound money. And sound money cannot be overestimated. Its a holy grail level technology; it will change nearly everything most people think they understand about civilization and technology. It can literally launch the space age we never got. It can end wars. It can unleash human potential like nothing else can. I do find it amazing that people who dont understand the jaw dropping and staggering implication of sound money are still trying to scrape the barrel for more. The cornucopia feast is on the table, you dont need to scrabble around on the floor looking for crumbs and grubs that dont even exist.

I'm confused. You say your UNI is stuck because you don't have enough ETH to move it. > Want me to buy a completely useless NFT? Ape into some ridiculous meme coin? Try to launch a DAO with nothing? Make an on-chain donation to some bizarre smart contract address? Don't all of these things require ETH to do? Probably more ETH is required to do these things than to just move your UNI somewhere else.

lmao definitely would not recommend putting a cent into this. I never understood why so many shitcoins try to promise the world (a web3 game? NFT access to "real-world perks"?) when they would be wiser to just be what they are and stop advertising stuff that'll never come to fruition. Also, it's a simple fact that "buy and burns" do absolutely nothing to affect the price of the token.

If you’re looking for a high-upside, early-stage play with structure behind it, take a look at $ENZO — launching on Solana: •Fixed supply: 1 billion tokens. Opening at $0.00004. •Solvency plan: 15% reserved for ops, community management, and treasury — not influencer dumps. •Buy-and-burn model: During major dips, we deploy coordinated buybacks with the community + burn tokens to defend price floors and restore sentiment. •Utility roadmap: Includes a Web3 game (dev begins Dec 2025), NFT access to real-world perks, and performance-based rewards. •Pre-launch: June 24 | Official launch: July 10 We’re not a pump-and-dump. We’re building toward solvency, sustainability, and long-tail upside — while still embracing meme culture. Website: enzonation.com Whitelist is still open if you want early exposure.

$HEGE has the cleanest artwork and NFT collection in the space. It's also poised to break another ATH in the coming month, in a better position than before its last run to $51M. Last chance to buy during its consolidation floor

tldr; Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has denied allegations that he used Genesis keys to seize 318 million ADA tokens during the 2021 Allegra hard fork. He clarified that unclaimed tokens were transferred to a custodial account, with 99.8% eventually redeemed by rightful buyers. Hoskinson threatened legal action against those spreading false claims, including NFT artist Masato Alexander, who alleged misuse of funds. Hoskinson emphasized transparency and stated that a closing report will be published before pursuing litigation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

You're definitely not alone in rethinking your wallet setup now that the NFT market is showing signs of life again. A lot of collectors who stuck it out through the quieter years are starting to realize that security is just as important as curation, especially as values rise. It's smart to think ahead before anything happens, because wallets are often the weakest link when things go wrong. MetaMask has been the default for a long time, and it still works fine for minting and trading, but it's far from ideal for holding valuable NFTs long-term. One of the main issues is visibility and user experience. The way MetaMask handles NFTs feels bolted on, and while you can pair it with a hardware wallet like Ledger to boost security, it doesn't really solve the viewing or management problems. You still end up needing to connect to third-party galleries or trackers to actually see what you own in a meaningful way. This is where wallets like Rainbow and Zerion have gained traction. Rainbow especially has become a favorite for collectors who care about how their NFTs look. It renders images and metadata smoothly, supports a wide range of token types, and feels like it was designed with NFT collectors in mind. It’s great if you want to browse, show off, or even occasionally trade. The downside, of course, is that it’s still a hot wallet. So while the experience is better, you don’t get the same level of protection as cold storage. On the security front, Ledger has made big strides with its browser extension and Ledger Live app. These now support NFT viewing and management more natively, which means you no longer have to blindly sign transactions or trust third-party dapps just to see your assets. It’s not as pretty or as slick as Rainbow, but if you're prioritizing protection over aesthetics, it's a strong contender. A lot of seasoned collectors in 2025 are going with a two-tier approach. They move their higher-value or long-term holds to a hardware wallet, keeping them safe and untouched. Then they use a hot wallet like Rainbow or Zerion for day-to-day interaction, browsing, and selling. This lets them enjoy the convenience without putting their entire collection at risk. Also, with WalletConnect 2.0 rolling out across most platforms, it's become much easier and safer to use secure wallets with marketplaces and apps without exposing private keys. That means you can list, trade, and sign messages from a hardware wallet with much less friction than before. So while MetaMask isn’t obsolete, there are definitely better setups now depending on your priorities. If you value both safety and a smooth NFT experience, consider pairing a Ledger with either Rainbow or Zerion. That way, you're not sacrificing usability, but you're also not leaving your grails exposed.

tldr; Investors in the Hashling NFT project have accused founder Jonathan Mills of misappropriating millions of dollars from the project and a related Bitcoin mining operation. A lawsuit filed in Illinois alleges Mills lied about transferring assets to Satoshi Labs LLC, which he controls, and failed to deliver promised equity returns. Plaintiffs claim to have raised $1.46 million from NFT sales but received no returns. Mills allegedly created a flawed shareholder agreement and began ghosting investors. The lawsuit seeks restitution and a constructive trust over the project's assets. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

I had the same worry after realizing how fragile NFT visibility and security can be across wallets. I switched to Best Wallet last month it lets me store NFTs securely across chains and still browse metadata cleanly, plus I can buy crypto straight from the app with PayPal which is super convenient.

People who attempt to lecture at me that it's a ponzi scheme, well, they insult my intelligence. There's no CEO, no government, no company, there's no promise of payout to those who go in early vs not, it's similar to a stock market app at most. I remember at one company i worked at as a truck driver, some boomer trucker tried lecturing that it was banker/central controlled. GOd it was insultingly stupid, how he was older ergo he assumed he was wiser or something. I told him, it's pvp, we can totally bypass banks with at worst a transaction fee to the miners. He just seemed like he had no idea what he was trying to weigh in/lecture on. Yes, i'm sure he can recall there being scams in the past in his life, that he could call a scam, and reduced Bitcoin into that bin, because ponzi coin or shitcoins or NFT's being something people got burned on with blockchain technology.

sasankhatibi

Yeah how about no... Certainly. Here's a contradiction to that perspective, using the same tone and depth: --- **Crypto in 2025: Not Dying—Evolving** While alarmist takes proclaim the crypto market is imploding, the reality is more nuanced. Yes, the ecosystem is undergoing seismic shifts—but rather than signaling collapse, these are signs of maturation. The market is consolidating, regulatory frameworks are catching up, and speculative froth is being cleared. Let’s dissect why crypto is *evolving*, not unraveling. --- ### 1. **The Market is Not Imploding—It’s Rebalancing** The altcoin market correction is a healthy sign of capital reallocating toward utility and sustainability. Bitcoin holding above \$103,000 and the total market cap at \$3.09T shows enduring interest—not decay. **Context matters:** * **Bitcoin ETF adoption** is driving institutional inflows, legitimizing the asset class and attracting regulated capital. * **Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake** and Layer 2 expansion (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism) are setting the groundwork for scalable dApps—temporary price corrections do not equal failed fundamentals. * **Tether’s dominance** reflects growing use in global settlements and cross-border commerce—not fear. In emerging markets like Argentina and Turkey, USDT is a lifeline. --- ### 2. **Regulation = Legitimization** New SEC rules and international frameworks are not "hostile"—they’re long-overdue clarity. Mature markets need rules, not chaos. * The UK’s proposed regulations offer *a pathway to full integration* with traditional finance. * SEC registration requirements are creating a filter to eliminate frauds, not block innovation. * Institutional layoffs are cyclical and *not exclusive to crypto*—the entire tech sector has seen contractions due to broader macro pressures. Regulatory alignment with traditional finance isn't crypto's demise—it's crypto’s entrance into the global economic system. --- ### 3. **Innovation is Shifting Gears, Not Freezing** The NFT hype dying down and memecoins surging are temporary noise. Underneath, **real tech is being built**: * **DeFi** is evolving into RealFi (real-world finance), with tokenized U.S. treasuries, RWAs (Real World Assets), and stable yield products. * **Base, Linea, and zkSync** show explosive L2 growth with developer and user activity moving off L1s. * **Ethereum restaking** and modular blockchains like Celestia represent the next phase of experimentation. Yes, memecoins exist—but so did Pets.com in the dot-com era. Amazon was also there, quietly building. --- ### 4. **Institutional Adoption Is Strategically Paused, Not Reversed** Wall Street isn’t "retreating"—they’re *realigning*. * BlackRock, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton now offer *crypto-native yield products and tokenized funds*. * Coinbase remains the dominant U.S. on-ramp and custodian for institutional flows, with strong Q1 revenues. * MicroStrategy is buying dips—again—and still outperforming the S\&P 500 over a 5-year horizon. Short-term volatility is being mistaken for long-term disinterest. But smart money is still in the game—just more selectively. --- ### 5. **Ghost Chains Are a Filter, Not a Flaw** Yes, 94% of altcoins have < \$10K daily volume—because **open ecosystems allow experimentation**. That’s a feature, not a bug. * Solana’s memecoin surge has ironically **revitalized its ecosystem**, bringing unprecedented retail engagement and developer experimentation. * Projects like Helium, Render, and Chainlink are building real-world integrations in telecom, AI compute, and data oracles. Failure in Web3 isn't a crisis—it's a necessary component of permissionless innovation. --- ### Conclusion: Crypto Is Growing Up Crypto is not dead, comatose, or collapsing. It’s maturing. The wild west days are giving way to structured growth, better regulation, and serious use cases. The real contradiction lies in critics bemoaning crypto’s adoption by institutions and regulators while demanding mainstream acceptance. You can’t have it both ways. **Crypto isn’t rejecting the financial system—it’s upgrading it from within.** The so-called "bull run" isn’t a dead-cat bounce; it’s the groundwork for a more resilient, globally integrated digital economy. If the 2017 and 2021 booms were the Cambrian explosions of ideas, 2025 is the beginning of natural selection. --- Let me know if you’d like a version tailored for social media, a rebuttal article, or one framed for academic/business readers.

The current version of Bitcoin core is fine. But the developers are proposing a change which will allow people to store a lot more arbitrary data in transactions, which adds another avenue for people to encode pointless jpegs on the blockchain.  Bitcoin knots allows you to configure these parameters yourself.  The argument centres around whether  Bitcoin should be purely used as money, or whether it should be an open cloud storage database for people to store their dickbutt jpegs.  Personally I am on the side of it being used as pure money and anything that contributes to blockchain bloat and spam is a bad idea. NFT’s belong on Solana or ETH. Bitcoin should remain pure as much as possible without becoming censorious of basic transactions.

Greetings. You've run yourself into the reddit message limit 6 times on a single message-- which would be a record even for me. I'm not sure how you use twitter at all. I hope you can understand that it would be entirely impractical comment on every element in the huge wall, particular since much of it seems to be generalized complaint that doesn't have much to do with the merits of the proposal. I'm going to limit myself to one message now and I'll respond further to your response. To begin with I hardly know what citrea is, never heard about it until after commenting in support of this obviously correct move. And I think it's only worth mentioning at all as it's an example of a user which will change its behavior. I've talked to the contributors that opened the PRs, and citria isn't particularly relevant to them. Moreover the use change was not requested by citria but rather a developer that saw them using fake outputs an wanted them to change. From what I can tell citria is substantially indifferent as the fake outputs for fine _for them_, particularly because the txn in question are some uncommon failure path. But as I said, I consider them substantially irrelevant, I don't think there is anything more to discuss there. For me the concern begins over a year ago when I was attempting to help a friend solo mine and noticed horrible block reconstruction rates. I reached out to several people about why relay policy had been allowed to diverge from mining practice, and mostly received the signal that they didn't want to deal with harassment by particular persons. I found this quite concerning, and I felt relief when I learned via reddit that something was being done about a part of it. > Right. So the filters work and the last two years of pretending they're meaningless was complete nonsense. Thanks for admitting it I guess Quite the opposite. As many people have pointed the relay policy for op_return doesn't work (I believe someone even had mined a giant op_return mocking you specifically)-- 3183bd6ceebc2d39c0a3cfa0d06eb84d1161eaac1c26605e2eab62bfe48c1420 . I won't waste my bitcoins doing so but it's trivial-- just hand the transaction directly to one of the multiple large miners, and I assume you don't need to see another demonstration. This isn't working because it's created a incentive to centralize bitcoin mining through direct relationships or, in the alternative, bloat the UTXO set. There is some friction, yes, but both cures are worse than the disease. This is what happens when you substitute the goal of having the best money with 'winning' against enemies. > Bitcoin does not require us all to have identical or even remotely similar mempools for any aspect of how it functions. Require? Identical? No. But it has always been a starting assumption in *every* mechanism of the p2p protocol that there will not be significant persistent discrepancies between what gets relayed and what gets mined. The whole mechanism of preventing tx floods with transaction fees and managing mempool content via eviction are predicated on the transactions pay fees, which doesn't happen unless the txn are included (and not, say, persistently excluded in favor of txn the node dropped or never saw). There is a very strong expectation that the mempools of nodes particularly the top of them is very consistent and also consistent with what miners will mine. And when it isn't it bandwidth is wasted, dos limits become less effective, the probabilistic filters that avoided repeated messages gradually work less well, etc. > But you are presumably aware that this attack I'm not even referring to an intentional attack but an incentive / pressure. Again, that's the risk in framing all action in terms of attackers and defenders. Sometimes that is the right framework, often it's not. Attacks are often the less dangerous of the two because at least they need an attacker, and usually need a payoff. They have something to target, while the effects of incentives are just a thing that happens. Bitcoin is a system of incentives. And it is very bad when the honest answer is "you must mine at the biggest miner or you will slowly go bankrupt" -- for Bitcoin's survival we have to engineer out those pressures as much as possible particularly since there are others external to the system that can't be engineered out. Mining centralization pressure because of poor block relay due to dropping transactions that miners will mine is an entirely unforced error. It's completely avoidable. > Their blocks propagate more slowly but it's *their* problem, not the network's. This is an entirely mistaken understanding. Slow propagation increases the orphan rate for everyone, but it increases it significantly more for low hashpower miner than large ones (because miners don't orphan themselves). Difficulty adjustment ignores orphans and so nulls out the average effect and what's left is the differential difference. It's not the miner that includes non-relayed material that is harmed, it's small miners vs very large miners. The effect is further exaggerated by the fact that those some larger miners are collecting additional fees from the transactions others wouldn't mine and also improving their fees from direct submissions where others would have mined but never got the chance, improving their profitability further. > Currently you pretty much never see OP RETURNs between 80 and 150 bytes. Anything in that range remains cheaper than those exploiting the witness discount with inscriptions which only starts to become a net positive above 150 bytes or so. If your concern is data embedding between 80 and 150 bytes I have bad news for you-- it's highly efficient already with fake addresses, it's not made meaningfully more efficient for the embedded with op_return just enough that given the choice they'll pick opreturn. But it's much better for Bitcoin to not have that crap made an unprunable part of the utxo set forever. > Spam filtration is not censorship. I'll paraphrase Luke - censorship *fails* if one "bad" transaction makes it into a block despite most miners rejecting it. Spam filtration *succeeds* if one miner mines a block that rejected any spam. Would be nice if it were true. But I think you have that backwards as a result of calling the unwanted traffic "spam" when it really is nothing like email spam. Email spam filtering is where someone sent you a message you didn't want and it's considered successful when you don't read it no matter how much resources your computer, your ISPs computer, anyone elses computer spent processing it. By that definition Bitcoin has damn near absolutely perfect spam resistance without any of the relay policy (the exception is dusting). But the 'spam' in the Bitcoin context is when parties who mutually consent use up the blockchain capacity for to trade shitcoin jpeg tokens or whatever-- stuff that isn't Bitcoin. In that case the minimum sent of involved parties, the sender, the receiver, and the miner are all eagerly consenting. Winning that game requires keeping their irrelevant embedded data out of the network. So just like any other kind of censorship the win when a single party lets them in. Particularly since the NFT crowd profits off the limited supply (otherwise they'd just use BCH or something that would give them all the capacity they want for free) reducing capacity for them (to the extent you can meaningfully do so at all) is like whipping a masochist: they yell "stop" but they're getting off on it! We've yet to hear the jpeg-pushers safe-word. This is why the already significant costs to store any real amount of data don't stop them. (or rather, it's stopped almost all data embedded, we have what's left.) > While more expensive, also far more useful as a troll as suddenly illicit data will trigger anti-virus software and make your laptop something you really don't want to carry through an airport if it has a copy of the blockchain on it. I don't see how that makes sense at all, anyone can already stick contiguous strings in transaction signatures or in witness data and already do, and it's less costly to do so. The software currently encrypts the blocks on disk and the utxo set (and the P2P protocol though there isn't yet a switch to turn off unencrypted p2p, other than by using tor). To the extent that maybe someone's abuse string is only 150 bytes and would be arguably slightly cheaper in an opreturn (and needs to be continuous to anger the scanner) the few extra cents it costs to embedded it the other way is hardly going to stop them. If you are in a situation where some scanner is going to cause you trouble is also only takes one example to trigger it. Which is why the encryption is there, and anyone that has an old node without it enabled and might have issues -- needs to get it enabled. So I don't see how this point helps at all with the OP_RETURN discussion. > I believe Core should be adding filters and it is negligent to not have done so. Great but that's broadly irrelevant for *this* issue. Aside, never in Bitcoin have filters been added against active transactions that people were intentionally making. I doubt it will ever happen. Certainly making a muddle of this issue is not going to win hearts and minds.

VirtualPartyCenter

I disagree with some of your statement, I do not think Bitcoin needs to be holding on to jpegs of stupid NFT monkeys. If people want to do that they can go off and upload it into a shitcoin network— I see absolutely no reason why they need to be spamming the Bitcoin network with that nonsense, and I think there need to be filters for it, even if they aren’t 100% foolproof. If a filter blocks 80% of the attempts by novice spammers, then the filter is blocking a majority of the problem. Removing the filter would be silly. Other meme coins can be used for spam. Letting spam into Bitcoin purposefully is incredibly irresponsible

Banker_dog

According to people on X in the Cardano community, OP is potentially a serial rugger (NFT project, token, and multiple platforms) who masquerade as a “defender of blockchains” The reality appears they are salty AF towards CH and unilaterally blame him without a shred of evidence. This is conjecture at its best. CH has promised a full audit once the TGE puncher claim period closes. I can’t imagine that this sale (that was done under the guidance and scrutiny of lawyers) occurred without the appropriate disclosures. Very easy to paint a negative picture when one is making inferences without all the facts. The only truth is that we see the transactions on the blockchain but don’t know why or under what framework they were done. Anything else is pure speculation and according to CH, slander.

Some real projects mixed in there - check out LTO network; land registry project with the UN, advanced RWA project, DID, NFT (including music - incoming) and anchoring with public and private layer (GDPR compliant). Sure to take off shortly but time to get in cheap is likely running out.
