Somehow I totally missed this video preview of the cyberpunk themed district of the Pavia Plaza. https://twitter.com/Pavia_io/status/1580554201813618689
Elon’s going to make the blue check mark accessible to all for $8 (or the purchasing power equivalent in your country) and also reward content creators.

Virtua has given us a look at what the entire planet of Virtua Prime will look like including the location of Cardano Island in relation to the other land masses. https://twitter.com/VirtuaMetaverse/status/1587525839628951552
Artifct has made a decision to shut down their marketplace. Hopefully, this will mean a focus on the moon metaverse project instead. https://twitter.com/ArtifctApp/status/1587168164336390144 https://discord.com/channels/882364185244237884/882374348638404628

The U.S. Fed gave us another very unsurprising 75 basis point hike in the federal funds rate today (Nov. 2). This brings us to 3.75-4% which is the highest rate we’ve seen since January 2008. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/02/fed-hikes-by-another-three-quarters-of-a-point-taking-rates-to-the-highest-level-since-january-2008.html
Apparently, Twitter has a program called Birdwatch that could be used to add “readers notes” to misleading tweets about Cardano. Maybe we should look into this to combat the psyops against Cardano. https://twitter.com/micsolana/status/1587774389264973826
Crypto and the Howey Test are on a collision course. https://twitter.com/scotty2ten/status/1587620216938594304
Here’s another case of a supposed news outlet trying to pretend like Cardano liquid staking isn’t the biggest and best out there. https://twitter.com/danny_cryptofay/status/1587761429607768064
There is speculation that the November announcement might be the actual building of a PEReDi (Privacy Enhanced Regulated Distributed) CBDC. A CBDC that isn’t a panopticon does sound better than the alternative. https://iohk.io/en/research/library/papers/peredi-privacy-enhanced-regulated-and-distributed-central-bank-digital-currencies/ https://twitter.com/Northern_ADA/status/1587805885379842050
For November surprise contenders, we also still have the speculation around BMW. https://twitter.com/seenwasad/status/1574144652902555652
Looks like IOG just acquired the talents of Dr. Vanishree Rao who led development at Mina! You’ve heard Charles mention some of the innovative work done at Mina in his AMAs. https://twitter.com/timbharrison/status/1588183693599731718
Goldman has teamed up with Coin Metrics to unveil a new crypto classification system they are calling Datonomy. Very clever Goldman: data + taxonomy. I’m sure you focus grouped the hell out of that one. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/03/goldman-sachs-unveils-crypto-classification-system-aimed-at-institutional-investors.html
You can do Cardano smart contract transactions with your Ledger hardware wallet device on an experimental basis. https://twitter.com/Ledger_Support/status/1588114156401856517
JP Morgan has now executed its first DeFi trade according to Bloomberg. https://twitter.com/ZeMariaMacedo/status/1588225282850390018 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-02/jpmorgan-executes-its-first-defi-trade-using-public-blockchain
The way they’re currently structured and operating, a lot of DAOs may get smashed as regulators will just view them as on-chain corporations who sold early stage securities to non-accredited investors. https://twitter.com/lex_node/status/1588184594133749760
Jpeg Store now has bundles. This will make it much easier for anyone trying to sell a metaverse estate. https://twitter.com/jpgstoreNFT/status/1588279773331001344
Check out this intro to Demeter Run, a “cloud environment with all the tools for building & deploying your Cardano dApp”. https://twitter.com/DemeterRun/status/1582893470015844352

There’s a whole crypto twitter drama happening right now with the finances of FTX and Alameda that has apparently led to Binance announcing that they will sell their FTX Token holdings (Nov. 6). https://twitter.com/JohnEDeaton1/status/1589305305388621824 https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1589283421704290306 https://twitter.com/DU09BTC/status/1589135270103773184
Colin from Obsidian and Lode Wallet gives us an early look at Hydra. https://twitter.com/osColinH/status/1588890270149783553
There’s trouble in DeFi land as it’s pointed out once again that LPing in AMMs seems to very frequently involve impermanent losses outpacing fee revenue. In this case, it’s asserted that the lab behind the AMM didn’t even understand the extent of the problem due to a mismeasurement. Of course, the prospect of new DEXs with impermanent loss mitigation brings something new to the table. https://twitter.com/thiccythot_/status/1589022227437039616 https://twitter.com/ravanave/status/1589264438087266305
LBRY announces that they lost in their case with the SEC. The ruling is pretty much the opposite of what everyone was hoping. https://twitter.com/LBRYcom/status/1589645453091827712 https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/secvslbrysummaryjudgementruling:a

Charles dropped a whole video on how Elon can decentralize Twitter with Doge and Cardano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7dmU2CCJo
MuesliSwap drops a mysterious tweet saying it is working on one the biggest Cardano DeFi innovations. https://twitter.com/MuesliSwapTeam/status/1590096808042459136
Charles sums up today in Cardano perfectly. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1590151060639059970

I definitely did not think I would wake up this morning and watch Martin Shkreli and Do Kwon in a live discussion of a non-binding LOI for Binance to acquire FTX. https://www.twitch.tv/uponlytv
Here’s a great thread offering a very thorough explanation of what has gone down with FTX. https://twitter.com/milesdeutscher/status/1589631447517655040
Elon files paperwork with FinCen for Twitter to become a payments network as a money transmitter. https://twitter.com/jp_koning/status/1590413986843201536
Here’s a nice video of Charles crushing the kid from The OC (who is now a middle aged crypto critic) along with some other person who says that “crypto has ruined lives.” The actor basically thinks that every cryptocurrency is just a security. He also reminded everyone he went to college and has a book coming out. https://twitter.com/casey_lau/status/1589530354217783296
Out of the FTX-Alameda chaos, things are really REALLY not looking good for Solana. https://twitter.com/DU09BTC/status/1590307342884962305
Virtua gave us a sneak peek of the inside of the Cardano Island condos. They look good! https://twitter.com/virtua_official/status/1590450026957840384
My…my…my…how the tables have turned, Solana. https://twitter.com/MagicEden/status/1590435695080140800
Rumors are swirling that wrapped BTC in Solana issued by FTX and/or Alameda and present on many lending and AMM platforms will spread the contagion very widely. https://twitter.com/weremeow/status/1590461628864397312
The Cardano Summit registration for virtual attendance is now open. The Summit will run Nov. 19-21st. https://twitter.com/Cardano/status/1591793019975397377

Apparently, Crypto.com says it accidentally sent $400 million to Gate.io and then had to ask Gate to send it back. People should be asking some serious questions about controls at crypto.com. https://twitter.com/kris/status/1591605600638881792
BlockFi appears to be impacted by the FTX/Alameda implosion. https://twitter.com/BlockFi/status/1590875997351866368

A large ETH podcast gets called out and ratioed hard for its past behavior in the context of current events. https://twitter.com/StakeWithPride/status/1591500079873265665
Charles straight killed it in that mega twitter space with a bunch of big crypto names by pointing out that Cardano and Bitcoin are good in all this because they’re actually decentralized which is what the whole space needs to pursue instead of a bailout. The whole crypto space needs to live up to the label of “decentralization” we slapped on this thing. https://twitter.com/iamshamdol/status/1591933841337638913
The Dragon is using FTX as a foothold to paint all of crypto as “smoke and mirrors”. Shocker: she wants “aggressive enforcement”. https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/1590496981751058432
Things keep getting worse with FTX/Alameda. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that “Alameda Amassed Crypto Tokens Ahead of FTX Listings”. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-news-today-11-14-2022/card/alameda-amassed-crypto-tokens-ahead-of-ftx-listings-public-data-shows-z6KFN051ToEpFohTXA89
Senator Lummis explains why the FTX bankruptcy wouldn’t have happened under the Lummis-Gillibrand Bill. https://twitter.com/SenLummis/status/1592212987259281408
Humans often seem to value optimization of short-term growth over optimization of long-term growth. Even some Western Economists in the Cold War thought the USSR would outgrow the US. The crypto space is making the same mistake in undervaluing Cardano’s long term optimization. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1960/10/17/professor-predicts-soviet-union-growth-will/ https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2010/01/soviet-growth-american-textbooks.html
The New York Fed is rolling out a CBDC proof-of-concept along with BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, Mastercard, PNC Bank, TD Bank, Truist, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/financial-services-and-infrastructure/2022/20221115 https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221115005936/en/Members-of-the-U.S.-Banking-Community-Launch-Proof-of-Concept-For-A-Regulated-Digital-Asset-Settlement-Platform

Sounds like we’ll get news on the Pavia live event “very soon”. https://twitter.com/PaviaRoss/status/1592474815096848385
Frederik Gregaard’s latest interview definitely poses a hypothetical related to BMW involvement in Cardano. https://youtu.be/Uk9arH5qMIo?t=4234
Caitlin Long’s Custodia Bank gets a preliminary win against the Federal Reserve in its quest to get a master account (that is necessary to get a routing number and etc). https://twitter.com/wadaniel/status/1592171742889480192
Vitalik is worried about bugs in SC code and “most worried” about hacks of ZK-Rollups. I believe it’s obvious that ETH ZK-Rollups will generally be DnPs (“deposit and pray”). https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1592881308002549761
ScotFest is only a day away (11-17). You can watch the stream on youtube. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/159293618740435763
The US House Committee on Financial Services has planned a hearing on the FTX collapse for December. https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409920
The Financial Services Committee hearing will not be the first time the Chairwoman of that committee has met SBF. https://twitter.com/hexidethmal/status/1591100345395990530 https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1592951865519800320
Congressional scrutiny of Binance’s role in the FTX collapse is interesting. How about someone determine FTX’s role in the FTX collapse before pointing fingers elsewhere? https://twitter.com/TheBlock__/status/1592945434355384321
FTX Contagion Update: Genesis has suspended redemptions and new loan originations. https://twitter.com/GenesisTrading/status/1592867208275046401
Yoroi has some kind of “especially exciting” announcement for the Cardano Summit! https://twitter.com/CryptoKeish/status/1592983315157770243

Don’t forget! ScotFest will be live in just a few hours at 10am GMT with a keynote from Charles at 2pm GMT (Nov. 18). https://iohk.io/en/scotfest#watch
There’s trouble in Cardano NFT land. Allegations are levied that jpg.store is moving toward centralization and monopoly. https://twitter.com/Padierfind/status/1593243249442902017 https://twitter.com/berry_ales/status/1593251527292260357
Looks like criminal charges are incoming over the FTX scandal. No surprise there. I wonder if eyes wide shut parties are easier to organize in jail or in a $40 million penthouse. https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1593285566539390977
The FTX bankruptcy docs depict a horror show of complete lack of corporate controls. https://pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/33/188450/042020648197.pdf

Elon musk just walked into Twitter HQ with a literal sink in his hands saying “let that sink in”. This could have a significant impact on crypto if his purchase is related to the potential of Twitter as a payments network as some have surmised.

Everyone who saw the “Day in the Life of a Meta PM” video comes away shocked at the -20% dive after the earnings report. Was the culprit rooftop avocado toast and lattes, the $3.9 billion lost on the metaverse, or the (currently) ill-fated stock buy back? Time will tell.

This event is conducted by a crypto project called Utopia on its official forum. Here is the link to the event: https://talk.u.is/viewtopic.php?id=300

Join the uTalk forum to be able to participate in this event.

Utopia is a peer-to-peer anonymous network. It has its own cryptocurrencies, CRP and UUSD. The reward for this event is in CRP coins, 500 CRP.

1 CRP = $0.64.CRP is already listed on LBank, P2PB2B, CoinTiger, Cryptex, Hotbit, and Crypton Exchange (Utopia’s native exchange).

Link: https://talk.u.is/viewtopic.php?id=300

Rules (Please read! If you are caught not following the rules, We reserve the right to disqualify you):

Each user can choose 2 potential winners (teams) and for it submit 2 numbers between 00 and 99. Watch out, which numbers are already taken.We accept submissions till 30th November*.*
No random spots!
You are not allowed to edit your post later. Once on the list, your number is set, so choose carefully!To prevent cheating, your account needs to have at least 5 post written.
One account per person, please be honest. If someone uses multiple accounts to abuse the giveaway, you and your alts will get remove from contest.

How the winner will be chosen:To achieve trustless result we will use bitcoin block hash. It will be block on 19th Dec around 7pm UTC (block numer will be announced after final game). After bitcoin block with given number will be mined last two numbers of its hash will be taken as a winning number.

F.ex. I choose: 76,13 - after its mined its hash will be f.ex- 00000000000000000005b0019b4a0cf56774ab593f7342f2989109d5ff2e23a5

In this case the winner will be 35. (last two numbers)

The result who win this contest will be given here on 19th Dec around 7pm UTC.

Example - How to participate:
In comment write which team do you think is going to win (you can choose 2 of them) and choose number from 00 - 99 (for both).

So it will look like:If you think Qatar or Poland team is going to win Qatar World Cup 2022, so this person needs to write in comment as below:

Qatar 22 and Poland 98.

ZEBEC: ZEPOCH NODE OWNERS EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS

ZEPOCH NODE OWNERS EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS

🚨ZEBEC MIGRATES TO BNB CHAIN 🚨… leaving Solana

FUNFACT — Did you know that Zebec’s 2nd ever BSC integration partner is SPACE ID. Zebec was already planning to go multi-chain, but after current events and recent outtages, they made the move to leave Solana. This is huge news because ZEBEC was “Solana’s” 1st project ever to be apart of the Visa Fast Track Program… just completely migrated too BNB Chain!!! Meaning when their dApp is finished on BNB Chain, that’s when

How To Buy + Referral Code : https://horizon.zebec.io/#/participate R73NTYD6
Your will need BUSD or USDT via bep20 BSC chain + referral code

So dear .bnb domain friends & BNB Chain friends, here’s a list of benefits to being a ZEPOCH node operator:

Node Revenue
Once Zebec Chain is live, Zepoch nodes will be prioritized for validation rights and receive on-chain transaction fees (GAS Fees), which are expected to have a 4–7% APY. 👀
Revenue Share
After the launch of the Zepoch ecosystem, 20% of the profit will be used as buyback every year for Zepoch holders. 🔥
Whitelist Privilege
Zepoch holders will have access to the whitelist of Zebec Chain’s ecosystem, entitled to early participation rights and airdrops from all IDO projects on the Zebec Chain ecosystem.
Zebec Airdrops
Once the number of nodes reaches 15,000, Zebec will airdrop 1,000,000 ZBC per day to Zepoch holders, which will be halved in 3 months and continued until the main net is launched (about one year). ☄️
https://horizon.zebec.io/#/participate R73NTYD6
Boost Rewards
Each Zepoch holder will receive up to 20% of the Boost Reward for inviting a friend. Earn 5% of the rewards of your friend’s airdrop as long you refer a friend. 🤝
Zepoch Node Appreciation
The price of a Zepoch node starts from $2000. For every 50 Zepoch purchased, the price will increase by 0.5% 💪🏼
Referral Program
The Zepoch Node Holder (Referrer) will receive a 5% real-time rebate (in USDT) for every single invitation through the referral program. 📈
Early Builders IncentivesThe contributions of the early builders are based on points, in which cash prizes await! 👀

How To Buy + Referral Code (referral code is needed to buy
https://medium.com/@bigblackcryp-to/zebec-zepoch-node-nfts-7e6bcc7d2e40
article is a complete walk through... i advise, metamask via mobile to complete transaction

Why operate a node?

It allows a user to interact & operate within the network more securely and with more privacy.
Its relatively simple to set up, anticipate hardware specs to be listed in the coming months. ZEBEC just launched their mainnet.
In becoming a blockchain validator, by providing computing capacity you enable a 24/7 up-time in supporting the chain as an operator. There are no miners. Think of your self as a “transaction moderator”. You oversee the gossip, but rarely will you ever have to moderate the conversation.
Governance — Now the first 288 user who acquired a node received the themis gavel. There are 29,712 themis governance gavel nft’s remaining. Those will have to be earned. Holding such an nft will enable voting onn matters specific to on-chain governance.

https://horizon.zebec.io/#/participate R73NTYD6

On-chain Diversity is Security — the more diverse and decentralized the more resilient our fault tolerance becomes. The Zebec ecosphere wont be subsceptible to centralized attacks that focus on single points of failure at the edge. Users will be expected to run dedicated computers/servers 24/7
Better Data: Running your own node, makes you a local host & automatically you’ll have access to far better analytics; pending transactions, like whale activity, daily volume, knowing the hashrate, and understanding any potential congestion on the network.
Near real time settlement — ZEBEC will have the advantage of settling in seconds. The advantage of being decentralized at scale means transactions process faster, as any cluster of nodes, can interact and review, as opposed too waiting 15 minutes or an hour. Regardless of the size of the sum… in mere seconds.
