A meme coin ETF is like a dream, no utility but has turned as the investors new community. If Dogecoin is successfully registered it may motivate other meme projects to seek ETF registration.

even if dogecoin etf gets approved, not all memecoins should get approved for an etf let alone even try to seek for a registration and i hope that the standards are maintained for approving etfs otherwise influx of memecoins etf without any utility or so much as a community might ruin the image of cryptocurrency for the general public

well anyway i do not think etf companies would be interested in most of the memecoins anyway since most of them are just a product of pump and dump schemes they should stick with memecoins that have been around for a long time like dogecoin

But with the news of hackings, the services of anonymity are also targeted by the government due to the usage of theirs. The government only looks at mixers like that and not for ordinary people increasing our privacy.

I honestly don't think they differentiate mixers into a group of "good guys" and "bad guys" like that. Based on some articles that they published (the US at least), it's clear they consider a mixer or any privacy tools legal, but the government must have access to the data, or they'll call it illegal, and so on. Obviously, a business will get more scrutiny if it processes a high volume of hacked funds. More marketing definitely increases the chances that bad actors will abuse the service for what they need, so the dev must be careful with that. CMIIW.

Government will always have some hidden clauses in their rules especially when it comes to privacy issues that involves money.
Again, the US is the center of attractions to the world, any developments, whether positive or negative, at some times impact the other parts of the world. If mixers are considered legal, to some extent,  as you read on the article, I think that other countries may follow the same process or idea.

In my opinion, the US sets some standard, and as long as the current regime of President Donald Trump remains crypto friendly, we may have lesser regulatory effects on the crypto economy.

usa is a big country no matter how much people are saying that the us dollar is declining it still remains to be a strong currency and they still have a strong economy compared to others so they really do serve as a standard for other countries in a way them accepting crypto made other countries more decisive about crypto either they value usa's actions or they just simply want to compete with usa and want to get ahead of them

anyway about the government having access, i do not know what to feel about that even if we are confident with mixers being clean does that mean that we can give access to government and therefore control? we would essentially be giving up our data either way

before this year ends we will see bitcoin reach ATH again. many predict so. because the peak of the bullish season will likely occur in Q3 this year so for those who are still holding top coins should be patient. because the key to investing in crypto is patience, although this requires free funds to do so but I see many people enjoying it

it is definitely difficult to control oneself especially during hard times and you are wanting to just take out the money you have in bitcoin to spend but we must always remind ourselves of our end goal and aside from being patient there really must be a strong will and discipline because bitcoin rises too and we get urges when this happens urges in which will benefit us now but if we fight it could benefit us even more in the future

I am not familiar with the UK crypto scene but I am sure they can be able to contribute a lot to the industry if given the chance to and not anymore think of what can be later with murky treatment from the government. There is really that need to clear things and to define matters so that the field is fair and a lot simpler.

what’s quite interesting is i just recently found out that uk left eu a few years ago eu doesn’t seem to be that open when it comes to crypto if the ban of tether is anything to go by so maybe uk leaving eu was a good thing after all and now they can make their own path when it comes to crypto

many countries are looking to set proper and official regulations about crypto and it seems like they are heading towards positive direction so i guess these regulations may bring more benefits after all at least the industry will now be officially realized

There are some experiences that are not shareable in the public and they are private forever. Just like what the Bible says, Anyone that says he or she has not sin, the person is a lier. And just like this thread, if anyone comes her and says he has not faced or experienced any bad things in life, he is a  lier just that we can't share everything in the public.

you are right that everyone experiences hard times but i believe we all experience hardships differently for example a rich person’s concept of hardship might be different than a poor person’s concept of hardship

rich people usually tend to have an easier life but i am not saying they never experience challenges as well it’s just that compared to poor people they definitely have it harder

Gambling is not a skill, therefore, no matter how hard to try to learn it and how experienced that you are, your win still depends on luck and not skill. For every skilled based game, luck is very important to win the game than skill. This is why I don't think that it's important for you to think that you can learn gambling to make profits. Gamble for fun.

Exactly, there is no such strategy in gambling where one can win by applying the strategy. In gambling luck must be given priority.

some people may prioritize luck too much by turning too superstitious they believe that they cannot win if they miss a step in their routine or if they don’t do something particular like wearing a specific clothing they think is lucky

It is better to leave it to luck and should not expect much.

sometimes luck comes in when you least expect it so don’t anticipate it and just enjoy

To safeguard yourself from crypto scams activities, these step may help avoid these scammers that are going almost uncontrollable.
1.Stay away from phishing sms, emails unknown links.
2. Always asked if you are in doubt of any suspicious emails, links and SMS alerts. Don't assume.

do not be gullible and always double check the source of emails or texts coming towards you it is usually very easy to check your suspicions unknown numbers or emails must be double checked don’t click on anything they send you unless verified

3. Do not exposure your crypto transactions addresses online or advertising your crypto achievements, and be very careful who you discusse sensitive crypto related transactions.

lots of people think that just because we are using anonymous accounts on the internet, we are safe but there are plenty of ways to hack you even without getting personal information out of you

Most individuals compares crypto trading to Gambling, others compares crypto airdrops (P2E, A.K.A Tap-Tap) to gambling. While some still compare the likes of presales, ICO's, Investing in memecoins, pump and dump schemes etc to gambling.

Though most users do their personal comparison but in this present, what aspect of Crypto can be equated to gambling?

Your thoughts.

i think what you have mentioned are what can be compared to gambling but to me airdrops especially that of memecoins are the ones close to gambling adding to the fact that some memecoins do require you to play their games usually in telegram to qualify for their airdrops so to me that is the closest to gambling

some people might say that they are not playing the games for the fun of it but for the possible profit it may give and that to me sounds both gambling and participating in airdrop of memecoins
