    I am boo koo glad I bought those Binance coins when they were pennies. Buy or mine ALL the crypto you are able to.
    The media is always painting digital currency as a high risk activity. Somebody gets rich one week and the next week they are sleeping under the bridge.

    If you are looking to get rich quick this isnt for those that cant afford to lose what they put in. White ppl have been mining these coins since 2011, I got into it 4 years ago. My 2 miners have paid for themselves several times over within 15 month.
    Fam? Just put $75 towards Shiba Inu and $100 on both ETH and BTC and just watch it grow. Thank me L8r.

    The reason Africa doesn't get foreign invest on a large scale is partly due to political turmoil. Investors like a certain level of stability. There are high-risk plays and low risk plays like bonds.

    There are governments that are permissive and some that are taking shots. For 100, I can get in the kiddie pool and see what's up. (No RKelly)

    I know so many older people who are still reluctant to use opensource. Like they think it is less secure or something. Like dude, opensource had thousands of eyes on it and people checking for bugs non-stop. These are almost always passion projects and if the original creator gives up, someone else will take it over. If you do paid software, you run the risk of updates stopping in a few years and the thing being useless.

    Preach that heat! People really need to be educated about open source and how it can benefit them. Without them searching for it, they will never find it. I had to find it because my brain tells me that there must be another/better way for me to use a computer
    My 2 cents.

    I wish I had gotten into crypto like 10 years ago. I feel like for my income level, it is too late. I would be investing in such small amounts that the turnout would be minor. I feel like you need a solid $10,00 to invest in a coin these days.
    That type of money would be sweet to get a nice return but it will be spent on the wrong thing.

    Use that 10 grand to buy you a server and create your own digital currency. Bitcoin's algorithm is open source. Use your own 10 grand as leverage for the whole thing and every increase will increase YOUR bottom line.

    Or take that 10K and buy 4 ASIC ETH & BTC miners

    Don't clown me but I'm being honest.

    I need a US based company to deal with. I saw what happened to Mt. Gox, and I would be pissed if that happened to me.

    I'm still open to trying $100.

    I would really have to study up to do that! lol I don't have 10k to spend though. I mean I do, but I had been saving for a house. Still debating on that one though.

    Would that be enough to make a difference though? I feel like $350 on bitcoin is nothing. Like what if bitcoin hit 500k per coin in value, what would my growth be in dollars with that investment?

    I am still trying to get my friends and fam on Linux but they are so reluctant to leave Windows and Apple. It is like talking to a brick wall with some of them. They don't care enough about their privacy or they give the excuse of "I have nothing to hide" which is not the point.

    I love the concept of it cause I like to be able to share pictures where friends and family can just pop on and see but I don't want to deal with the privacy issues or the drama. I certainly don't want to support a site that has pedo rings either (legit problem no one talks about). Are there any other sites that function like this? Preferably something that is privacy-focused?

    Fam? I would NEVER clown you, I ain't cut like that. I'm really here to help my ppl understand this stuff because I know how important this all is. The US dollar is on the way out and this government can't stop crypto...all they can do is align along with it and hope for the best.

    Either use Binance or Coinbase. I started with coinbase before binance was made and they have this thing there called "Learn and earn" crypto. So far I have earned $143 in free crypto that they gave me just for reading the new coins they offer. Stay off these fly by night exchanges because most are not legal and they WILL pull a "Rug Pull", that is when they take ALL the money ppl thought they invested in the exchange but they were being taken to the cleaners.

    I started with $350 and invested til I had $1k in bitcoin and I am watching it slowly grow and sure adding to it will help. Just DO NOT invest and spread yourself thin. I bought the plung on Shiba Inu for $150 and got 11 million tokens. That $150 is now worth over 1k and climbing.

    See there? That is what I was talking about. Exchanges are not all that safe. People thin, just because its a big exchange with billions of dollars being traded daily doesn't mean they are legit.
    I will test $100 this week. If I like it, I will tell you, if I don't like it, I will be honest.
    I know $100 isn't a lot of money so I don't plan to be a millionaire by next week. I want at least 25 cents per week.
    Is that doable?

    It's about $1500 per month for a full server. You could mine BitCoin 24-7. So with $10,000 you can mine for most of the year.

    Over the years, I've tried to put myself in their shoes but it never really works out. Nothing is free. Either you are going to pay by buying a license to use Windows or you are going to "pay" by learning about the machine you control.

    $100 will be fine and just give it 60 days watching it closely. Research "Staking" also.

    That is likely the prime reason. They don't want to learn or they don't feel they have the time for it. I mean really, you don't have to do much learning these days. You can easily google stuff if you are stuck with the use of the terminal but still, I guess that is too much for people. They are missing out!

    Alright, I am going to look into this more. I might throw in some investments. Why not? Even if I have no idea what I am doing, I am sure I can figure out how to set up a wallet and put in some investments lol
    Start with coinbase, they have a wallet along with their buying platform. Also they give you free crypto if you spend a little time in the "Learn and earn" section. I have a massed $143 in free crypto coins and tokens that some are really starting to bloom. Would you use my coinbase reference link?

    I think you cracked the case.

    Now I need a motive. Why do they want to use a computer and NOT learn how to control it.🤔

    I think a lot of them are just playing stupid or are lazy. They are too set in their ways and would rather be on a computer that does everything for them. I think it is a cultural impact that has altered people's brain waves into being submissive to the machine.

    I am going to research it more for sure. If I do go with coinbase, I will let you know and you can DM me the link. I have to wait until work slows down a bit. We are short-staffed at the moment so my free time is limited.

    Submissive to the machine lead to the machines declaring war on us in the Matrix, Terminator and iRobot. I know that those are works of fiction but drawing out those possible conclusions in a book or movie lends itself a little credibility.

    If AI becomes a thing, we are in trouble cause there are millions out there who would do the machine's bidding. I have a friend who believes there are people who were cloned and are being used to manipulate people. Like they are programed like a computer but they have flesh. It is some real wild ish that I don't subscribe to but given how nutty things have been the last 10 years, I wouldn't completely dismiss things like this anymore.

    I found this site when I was looking for a video. I didn't realize it was a link that was to a generic YouTube platform. I was looking around on the site and it seems like such random things. Like a lot of what I am seeing is conspiracy theories and other things you can't get away with talking about on YouTube. Prior to this, I never even heard of the site but it seems like it is being used. Just not by a lot of people. Anyone here hear of it? Might be a good spot to upload videos with controversial topics that you'd get banned on Facebook, Insta, Twitter, and YouTube over.

    Hey guys, I've been wanting to get back into fitness and working out. I'm by no means going to get extremely fit and built, don't have the patience for that, but I do want to lose some weight. Anyway, I was looking at fitness bands, and I have no idea what I should go for. I kinda want a pricey one, that can be used as a smart watch as well. I was looking at the Apple Watch, but idk if I can afford to waste money on that, and I don't even know if it has a lot of fitness options.

    What fitness/workout bands would you suggest getting? I know of a few, but I want a really accurate one if possible.

    Like Blu-rays, DVDs, albums (CDs, Cassette tapes, vinyl, etc), Video games, and more. Do you still collect physical media like that? Or have you mostly moved on to digital streaming and digital downloads instead? Lately I haven't bought much physical media, in fact I kinda want to get rid of some stuff as I want to clean up my house a bit. I don't listen to CDs, tapes, or even buy blu-ray movies anymore. I found that just watching the movies I liked digitally is a lot more practical.

    But, I still am a collector, so I will often buy stuff from thrift stores and stuff like that. I'll still pick up retro games and stuff like that.

    Like Blu-rays, DVDs, albums (CDs, Cassette tapes, vinyl, etc), Video games, and more. Do you still collect physical media like that? Or have you mostly moved on to digital streaming and digital downloads instead? Lately I haven't bought much physical media, in fact I kinda want to get rid of some stuff as I want to clean up my house a bit. I don't listen to CDs, tapes, or even buy blu-ray movies anymore. I found that just watching the movies I liked digitally is a lot more practical.

    But, I still am a collector, so I will often buy stuff from thrift stores and stuff like that. I'll still pick up retro games and stuff like that.
    Im fully digital and its a damn shame. I hate how on streaming media how songs disappear randomly. Digital media is awesome and hugely convenient but I don’t like how it can be taken and changed at will.

    That's why you torrent the good stuff.

    If AI becomes a thing, we are in trouble cause there are millions out there who would do the machine's bidding. I have a friend who believes there are people who were cloned and are being used to manipulate people. Like they are programed like a computer but they have flesh. It is some real wild ish that I don't subscribe to but given how nutty things have been the last 10 years, I wouldn't completely dismiss things like this anymore.
    I believe machines are playing dumb today. (Just kidding)
