Cardano Daily Discussion - October 12, 2022

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Cardano Daily Discussion!

The standard sub rules apply here (see sidebar), with the exception that price discussion is allowed in this thread, though we encourage you to try not to make this the focus and talk about the project itself. Please ask questions, help others and be civil - be sure to get involved in Project Catalyst too!

If you're new, please make sure you're read through the newbies guide and share it with others (use the ?newbies comment command to reference it).

​

⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️

Please read the Cybersecurity guidelines for Cardano Users.

There are ongoing giveaway scams on youtube and many scammers lurking in Cardano's social channels impersonating ambassadors/moderators/official staff contacting users via direct messages.

For example, searching 'cardano' on youtube and sorting by most recent upload date shows several giveaway scams running (all videos in screenshot are scams):

​

Ongoing 'giveaway' scams on Youtube

The youtube scams are automated; use stolen footage usually of Charles Hoskinson and are restreamed so to appear to be 'live'; appear to have many watchers (which are bots); use bought hacked channels and are edited to appear like official channels.

Do not be fooled!

​

To be clear:

• ⚠️ There is no such thing as a Cardano giveaway
• ⚠️ Never share your seed phrase with ANYONE
• ⚠️ Never send ADA to someone promising to send you more ADA back
• ⚠️ You will never be contacted by ambassadors/moderators/staff

Please report scams on the Cardano Fraud Detection Bureau.

⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️

McDonald In Lugano City Starts Accepting Bitcoin Amid Bear Market

Per the all-time mainstream adoptions of crypto, McDonald’s Fast-food chain has started accepting Bitcoin payments in Lugano. A news outlet shared a video of customers paying for their orders with Bitcoin via McDonald’s electronic kiosk.

Top players in the crypto industry are advocating the mainstream adoption of crypto for local payments, cross-bother payments, and remittance. In response, many crypto use cases have entered the market. From the US down to Australia and more, Crypto firms are developing applications to aid the use of cryptocurrencies for various payment options.

While playing the video, a Tether (USDT) logo appeared on the POS machine, showing that McDonald’s also accepts stablecoins.

Lugano To Become The European Bitcoin Capital

The Swiss city Lugano is positive towards crypto adoptions. In March, the city officials announced plans to make Bitcoin, USDT, and the LVGA token de facto legal tender in the city. The announcement came during the Plan B conference with Mayor Michele Voletti and CTO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino.
The decision came after a joint initiative to make Lugano the European Bitcoin Capital. Tether allocated $107 million to a dedicated fund as part of its collaboration to develop the blockchain market. The Local government also gave $3.21 million for the same purpose as Tether.
The funds allocated are to finance local blockchain startups and to support business integration with daily operation planning tools.

The McDonald’s fast-food chain started accepting Bitcoin payments in its El Salvador branches in September 2021 after Bitcoin became the country’s Legal tender.

McDonald’s About Venturing Into The Metaverse

In addition to accepting crypto payments, McDonald’s plans to enter the Metaverse. In February 2022, trademark lawyer Josh Gerben shared a post stating that McDonald’s filed ten trademark applications to offer a virtual restaurant. The virtual restaurant would have real and virtual goods.
The application was submitted on February 4 and stated that besides offering virtual and actual goods, McDonald’s would provide downloadable media files such as audio files, videos, artworks, and NFTs.

It also stated the fast-food chain would include McCafe coffee shops in its Metaverse. In addition, the Mcdonald’s virtual branch would offer live and virtual concerts, including other online events.
In October 2021, McDonald’s also released 3D animated NFT in China, Taco Bell, and Burger King. In addition, McDonald’s China announced its NFT called Big Mac Rubik’s Cube to celebrate 31 years in the mainland market. In addition to its 31st anniversary in China, the NFT marked the opening of its new Shanghai headquarters.

According to reports, 1300 companies in China filed applications for metaverse trademark registrations. In addition, Tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Microsoft are also trying to enter the Metaverse.

During recessions, crypto and stocks are considered high-risk investments. Most recessions after 1929 were "engineered" to be short (like 2 years, max) with intervention by the Federal reserve. If you can stick it out, you should have good returns.

There's a lot that I want to say here, but in reality I think that just by posting this video and then leaving you guys to your own interpretations of what could happen in the next 2-4 years is more entertaining. I'm also going to leave you guys with my own advice below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcknsvEgRck (this is NOT my video, but gives you perspective on how long we could be in a recession / bear market)

You're going to get impatient in the next year or two, wondering how you can increase your holdings. The best thing I can tell you is, "don't get greedy" and "Don't get impatient". Just continue to stack whatever reliable project you think you can.

My own two cents: this could be like the end of the dot com boom where we saw a bunch of websites that didn't survive collapse (like broadcast.com, look the history of that one up if you can) getting replaced by YouTube when it was created in 2004 or 2005.

I also want to remark that the first time I can remember any "geo-political" events taking place that impacted crypto prices was the China trade war in 2019. Once that was declared, bitcoin went from like 6000 USD apiece to 8000 USD apiece. The second time I remember geo-policial events was when Xi Jinping said "blockchain" and bitcoin skyrocketed from 7k to 10k in October 2019. I was also there for the covid crash, and on that day it felt like "The end of the world." for every single market out there - not just crypto.

If you have the money, if you can afford the losses, and if you won't be mentally scarred by it, then just continue to dollar-cost average responsibly. I personally think another big leg down is waiting for us, but it will be a curve ball that almost nobody saw coming.
