Hi XXVV --hope u are doing well.
Hopefully Meta1 is progressing as expected. Any thoughts or updates for public consumption is welcomed.
I also miss your opinions/thoughts all things Roulette.
Im still watching/researching many for potential long-term investments down the road. I view the blockchain technology and other similar tech that has or will be developed as the value, and not necessarily what the current crypto co seems to be advertising. At this point it seems they can literally make any claim they desire.
For the most part my time is spent trying to sort ones I think will still be around through 2024-25 and ones that will fall by the wayside.
In an unregulated world re:all things crypto, the survival-of-the-fittest system will address the weakest of the weak. Which will be a good thing until they either regulate themselves and or government regulates.
Hopefully they(cryptos) will choose to govern or at least offer some type of regulatory body(Maybe they are already trying/im not aware). We all know what happens when government lends their expertise to anything/decides to manage or regulate something.

My personal thoughts are: The shakeout of cryptos and other weak investment vehicles has already begun. Due in part to the above as well as government-induced inflation.
Just my opinion of course. Im not advocating the potential investment value of the group called cryptos. Nor am I refuting the potential for this large group called cryptos. Im a novice crypto investor that is working diligently to increase my knowledge base. I welcome others thoughts, ideas, and counter opinions.
