If we are in 2017 then maybe, just maybe some can consider it as a full-time job "TEMPORARILY" while finding for another job. I mean if you don't have a job at that time, putting some effort in bounty hunting that time might help you at least pay some bills because in 2017, bounty hunting is at its peak thus, many bounty hunters are earning hundreds or even thousands of dollars just by advertising the project in different ways.

Definitely, back in 2017 and 2018 one could make big money while bounty hunting most especially those who got many social media and BTT accounts as many of the projects eventually got into exchanges and there were those that were made valuable. But as years go down to where we are now, most of the new projects eventually end up as worthless and became a big waste of time and effort. One should look at this as just a part-time opportunity and one must be ready to see supported projects go down the drain. Right now, bounty is not anymore fashionable as we have seen new methods new projects are pursing their marketing techniques.

Justice??? Trump was likely guilty. Most politicians are guilty of everything they are charged of and a ton they aren't, but this wasn't about justice. This was about the Democrats making him look like an unfit candidate for Presidency and taking votes away. The timing of the trial making it where Trump cannot be out there campaigning, getting the guilty verdicts, and hoping they do enough for Biden to be re elected and they keep controlling the narrative. I'm actually ashamed to be an American.

I am not an American but where USA goes my country can be affected and I would say that the kind of weakness exhibited by the current Biden administration is right now affecting the world. USA has to be strong and must have solid political will power so the world will behave at it should be. Now, I am actually following the many things that happened to Trump and his political moves and I am so convinced that this is a very rigged kind of trial as it happened, first and foremost in a blue state where majority of the people don't like Trump hence the jury was then expected to convict Trump so that Biden can have a new leverage or arsenal in his reelection bid. But this is going to be a very wrong move as this case is just enabling the anti-Biden beast to awaken and more and more people are going to be supporting Trump as they sympathized with him as the victim. Combined that with the absolute failures of Biden and his policies on economy and the border, you can be sure that Trump will be coming back in the White House, not unless the Democrats will, once again, make some magic using ballots coming from nowhere.

The real question is why the delay in obtaining ETF products in the United States. Compared to European markets, the United States usually approves ETF products faster than other countries, but in the case of Bitcoin, there was procrastination to the point that some investment funds filed lawsuits with the SEC.

Yes, it took SEC to be dragged to the court for its approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs that happened in January because in the first place SEC is adamant in its position on this issue...it does not want to get into ETF but since applicants are big names in the world of finance most especially Blackrock it got not choice but to yield to the pressure. And now with the news that spot Ethereum ETFs is given a nod, applicants are going to be individually scrutinize and approved before they can offer the same service or product to their clients. Anyway, this is a lot better than saying NO or delaying the approval due to technicalities or whatever reason SEC can easily come up.

But something tells me we haven't seen the last of these. It will be interesting to see the next big thing is that the crypto community latches onto. Will it be quantum-resistant blockchain technology? LOL.

We are in an industry that is ever-changing and everyday we are seeing an avalanche of many new ideas (with many also just rehashed and packaged differently) that are looking for adoption, traction and of course money but many of them will just fade away and be good for good and in fact many people seem to be experts in introducing new things and have entice the market for possible investments only to find that they are just supporting nothing but hollow tubes that may not be able to carry some water. I heard many good things on DePIN and looking at it there is a big potential with the idea though of course projects along that line may just be there to take advantage of the possible hype. This is one big problem in our industry...we don't for sure which of the players are really good enough to trust and which are just here for the money.

 

Today AI has become a very good and maybe effective buzzword that can attract more people into a project thus it can be an effective way to attract more attention hence investors even if the platform is just barely into AI if anything. And we can see more and more projects coming up with different ways and means to exploit the interest of the people with AI to their financial advantage. We should see the real picture beyond the smokescreen so we will never be duped into supporting a project that will just be worthless later. Nevertheless, as one who is looking towards the innovations of AI and the blockchain, am hoping that there can be a project that will deeply tackle the use of AI and cryptocurrency to benefits the people.

That part's explanatory, but I'm skeptical about these type of transactions. Any advice would be helpful pls.

And you should really be skeptical as the transaction can be like an IOU type where you need to trust that the people behind that project will really deliver in the near future as they promised. So everything hinges on how good is the team behind the project and how good they are in delivering the promises...so you won't regret later and feel like you are just of the scammed people. I had seen the same kind of scenario with the proliferation of ICOs in 2017 and 2018 where many people were victimized out of their hard earned money all because they trusted too much. Now, this is something you need to decide on and I am hoping you are weighing your options well. Good luck.

Yes already approved but Ethereum ETFs may not be able to start offering the same to their clients as they must individually get the final nod from SEC to do so. I think this is what differentiates with the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January and something that may even make things better as SEC must have learned some lessons in the past dealing with ETF applications. Personally, I have nothing against with this decision as there is that big need to vet all applications to make sure that things are in place especially with the idea of protecting prospective investors and possibly limiting risks involved. So I will just forego with this anti-climax perimeter laid down by SEC for spot Ethereum ETF operators. The most important thing is that we can now positively look forward for Ethereum ETFs to be making big inroads in the market...soon!
