I stopped collecting “points” years ago. The value wasn’t there stretching the accumulation period > a year or two. Looking forward to this project.

[@tracyt4327]

I have learned SO much from this guy! He is awesome!

[@benjaminjonas9701]

Fascinating conversation Natalie & Ian! Thanks for shining light on yet another fiat scam being passed along to consumers

Ian's the goat

[@pokemonblader6913]

Natalie please read the great taking

[@NeuroPulse]

It's wild how many tech startups have used other blockchains to issue stock in the form of tokens that they claim have utility when an honest project would be better off using a token pegged to bitcoin. If USDT can peg to USD then there is no problem pegging to bitcoin either.

[@S.Dadudida]
