I've been buying dips in steel stocks, VALE, CLF, and MT.

I have a feeling SPACs are done.

Why would all SPACs be done?

I just bought more SNAP and ARKK. Won't stop doing that.

Only in rare cases there is actual value in the them. All of them aren't done. But imo, most of them are.

Before, they'd pop 20% at least if they announced they were trying to acquire an EV company. Now, lot of these SPACs already announced their planned merger and are still trading around 10 bucks.

Investors have more fear now. And when that happens, investors don't like holding companies that make no money.

nbatopshot.com for the NFT nba collectibles..... if you guys arent getting in line for these pack drops, youre slacking. buying moments directly from the marketplace , i wouldn't recommend right now.

As for NFT art and etc. .... opensea.io is probably the best and offers the most and can give you an idea of what you might like/be looking for.

Any good sources to do some research, or outright buy tips?

ive been buying .crypto domains from unstoppable domains

NFT NBA collectibles from nbatopshot.com ....dont buy moment from the marketplace....try and get lucky on pack drops

NFT art is on opensea.io , rarible.com and few other places..

Id research NFT as a concept , its an emerging market and super hot. plenty of stuff on reddit and youtube by people who can put it much better than myself.

if i had one buy tip, it would be get in on every topshot pack drop right now

no problem , i do want to triple emphasize how hot topshot is and getting a pack is guaranteed 24hr 10x investment or solid longterm investment. Just got a pack for $199 and pulled 2 moments worth 300 and another worth at least 5 k. so $199 -> 5500 in 24 hrs. the kids are all over this one , and they got money to spend from god knows where.

Question - do you earn like royalties for "owning" NBA moments on topshots? Or is it basically a virtual basketball card and you're relying on the system to limit the number of copies of that moment being produced?

https://blog.nbatopshot.com/posts/circulating-count-supply

Cards that are CC designation...they have an expanding supply and arent very valuable at the moment, the supply will eventually stop when the next series starts:
https://www.nbatopshot.com/listings/p2p/208ae30a-a4fe-42d4-9e51-e6fd1ad2a7a9+c94415fe-15d9-4999-bf10-5fefdf4b1ed2

Cards that are LE designation have a fixed supply, all the cards are minted at once and thats it, way more valuable:
https://www.nbatopshot.com/listings/p2p/122b048d-585e-4c63-8275-c23949576fd6+a8b1a2bf-4142-4e12-a7f8-5854287c84b1

the lower the total supply the more valuable, the lower the serial number compounds the value and the quality of player compounds it more.

https://www.nbatopshot.com/listings/p2p/814c5183-596f-41d7-9135-c6b29faa9c6d+e48cf01d-0343-48fd-a4ae-c789633cba11

also no royalties or the like, you are definitely tied to dapperlabs (the production company) to a certain degree but they are printing money right now and looks like they have serious staying power. NFL, UFC, NHL topshots in the works as well.

also scroll down on those listings to see indeed they are selling aftermarket like hot cakes. The play is : sign up, wait for a pack, get in on the drop, hopefully get a pack, immediately sell for top value (or keep if you like it long term), repeat. dont buy moments marked up on the marketplace

Is Cryptocurrency: currency (dollar,euro, etc) or an investment (gold, stocks, etc)?

Crypto with underlying block chain technology provides complete trust and transparency in peer to peer worldwide financial transactions, within seconds, without the need for the stale, bloated, incredibly slow and oft corrupt global financial industry.

It’s cuts out ALL the existing fat of the current system and is a much better transfer of financial information.

Bitcoin is digital gold, a common standard for which all other values can be compared. It’s only just the beginning.

Both. Just like world currencies are currency and an investment (that's why FOREX is a thing); Crypto is both as well.

Maybe it's not a prevalent now, but there was a time where top dogs would diversify the currencies they held. I remember this when the Euro was killing the Dollar.

Sitting on a pile of USD is an investment whether people realize it or not.

As fiat is getting exposed, and even gold to an extent, people are flocking to Bitcoin and for good reason. It's currency, an investment, an asset class, with a bunch of projects and alt coins behind it

what do you think of BCH? I have some money I was going to throw into that.

I was wrong about ETH, and was expecting a major drop, where I was going to buy a bunch more.


btw, i have a few hundred ADA. not sure what DOT is. Thought about getting more ADA, but it's taking off right now
