You are unfortunately right, the elephant does win again. And because this elephant is so large, there is no serious competitors where you could move your business to, instead.

Staying there definitely becomes a little less of a viable proposition every year. Sadly, the choice often seems to be between make a lot of sales and hand over most of your profits, or go out on your

Sometimes it seems like they had a great master plan! Make their venue cheap and effective for the small seller until they became the 500 lb gorilla in the room, at which point they could keep raising

Don't panic! Always makes me think of Corporal Jones from "Dad's Army" back in a day you and I might still remember. The funny things about cycles... is that they are cyclical! So called experts

It wasn't with LEO, but I already took some profits to pay for my property taxes, at the end of March. At the time, I felt a bit sour about it... but it has turned out that the timing was pretty decent.

PGM is abandoned, too? Seems to be what's expected, rather than the exception.

Don't have any cash laying around. With that said, the unfolding Israel/Iran conflict is not giving me much confidence...

I think you've summed it up nicely. Most of these tokens — even the ones billing themselves as "investment tokens" — have absolutely no value proposition, which is essential. But they perhaps

You can remove anything DHEDGE related from your list; that project is shutting down... there was a post earlier today.

A rambling commentary about crypto, and my path to get here:

I suppose this has been a long time coming: Finally published my first post from the new INLEO front end!

Greetings @bleujay, thanks for stopping by. Sounds like you have your point of purpose and meaning in the form of Scripture and the attendant lessons, which I think is a beautiful thing. From a spiritual

It seems connected to one of those issues people are super reluctant to actually look at when they form relationships: "Are we financially compatible?" Finances often reveal parts of personality

Hive would probably grow if it had improved ease-of-use (PeakD is pretty decent), and improved functionality at a community level. Above all, it sadly lacks an effective internal messaging system.

We've been on pretty much a "no spend" budget since Covid chopped our businesses to near nothing... and I don't see that turning around. Meanwhile, our adult kids seem to waste huge amounts of

It is the way of cats! They might seem all cute and soft and full of purrs, but they are really just ruthless killing machines. 🤣

Spring is trying its best here in the Pacific Northwest, and we have actually had a couple of gardening days mixed in with our gray... but it's not reliable yet; snow could still happen.

The funny thing is, we optimized communities for growth long before there was crypto, tokens and blockchain. People were given badges and special privileges as they gained influence and seniority, and
