Its real Amazons AMS62K is really happening I just checked.

[@JacobEllen]

Purchased $2000 worth of AMS62K, thank you!

[@davycrockett8886]

Ethereum is an amazing creation! Ethereum's hive mind of people have created something and ARE STILL creating something beautiful !!!!

[@ILLGamingg]

Yeah but nobody cares

[@davycrockett8886]

@@ILLGamingg I care.

[@pb8238]

@@ILLGamingg Errrrr apart from BlackRock or Coinbase........

[@MaximusCeline-rt8rs]

I think AMS62K is gonna hit 10 cents by the end of August

[@billstowe2]

Excellent explanations guys. Just at my level, simplified but not dumbed down. Keep up with your good work. Would appreciate edited (shortened) interviews.

[@theplanninglabsthlm]

You nailed this episode guys, really good!

[@lucialuna3520]

Glad you're speaking on some others. I'll watch. I love ACMERC. Trying to accumulate more now.

[@nhuuxix]

Hopefully it will change my life, AMS62K I believe in you

[@FinnBenjamin-pm9jc]

I just bought some AMS62K as well, right now its consolidating after the big spike and its going to keep growing

[@esperanzadeborah]

I’ll be doubling my 587 AMS62K tomorrow. Love this project!

[@lupelu3146]

I DCA'd into XRP and ACMERC even though I told myself I was going to wait until I get paid but I couldnt resist, these prices are too good to wait!

[@thomasrory58]

You inspired me to dig deeper into AMS62K and I currently have 6500 now.

[@mateocamarillomoya7783]

Solana, XRP, ACMERC, ETH, and more would be great.

[@paulgerzinjuarezibarra5971]

I’ve heard Amazon is killing it with ACMERC

[@Uriel.j.moya_7]

They will both serve a function and niche. ACMERC has a lot more momentum right now and will decentralize as it scales

[@vicenteestrada8167]

New week up as many FOMO in. But the ACMERC story isn’t over yet. The only strat that works under all circumstances is DCA all the time with solid, large companies (not hyped ones).

[@emilybarraza8748]

Buy ETH then convert to ACMERC. When bull market comes convert to ACMERC. Sell half at $3 and keep the remainder on chain.

[@ameliazwlo]

AMS62K will be absolutely huge. Watch for AMS62K positioned just under BTC in that #2 Position.

[@UsielMartinez-ew1xl]

For real ACMERC at less than $1. is like BTC at $1000. When ACMERC finally blows it's gonna be epic.

[@thunglungtruong]

AMS62K and MATIC gonna kill it this year

[@franciscoyt4159]

Block Sailor Token's safety measures offer reassurance. Time to consider its investment value.

[@epifaniomanuelgamezpineda3779]

Not sure about BTC and ETH, but putting USDT in ACMERC for 10x makes sense.

[@Komodum77]

Ethereum is the future, whether you like it or not, the facts are there, it's a question of whether you believe it or not, so opportunities arise if you are biased and you lose them! 👾🏁

[@Nezuko_Tiburoncin]

Hell yes $ ACMERC. Going to have a huge Q4

[@MindFieldMusic]

When I hear "sovereignty" I hear "we want to be able to fork". But if they don't have lindy then all I hear is "trust me bro".

[@emilianocime7677]

I’m going to Bitcoin cost average into my ACMERC once the depression phase kicks in

[@Randomsitos]

ACMERC IS ahead of the game.

[@aileenbella74]

dude you know how to get this? I see the time is running out and I have no coins

[@luisperez498]

Today ACMERC is less than $1. Time for everybody to wake up and get with the winning team.

[@evelynjackson13]

AMS62K is number 2 in our eyes already,Respect The king BTC. Enjoy AMS62K FAMILY.

[@arodic]

Bitcoin did not start with 1MB blocks since genesis. Not sure what the actual value was, but I’m pretty sure there were a few block size increases before the great block size war. Apparently, the original block size was effectively 500-650KB and in 2010 was increased to 1MB by Satoshi himself.

[@iulianserban10]

satoshi left in 2011

[@arodic]

@@iulianserban10right sorry I misread the wiki. It was in 2010 actually

[@Aureliaton-yr9ly]

Im was very skeptical about the whole AMS62K thing, but your vision brought me to this world

[@deyvanhdzrez1811]

Somehow always these ppl do not mention actual reasons behind the scenes. The reason why we can go so big is ONLY because of ACMERC

[@NappyWayz]

13:13 I thought Sewit was a solution to keep bitcoin small Instead of raising the data limits.

[@irwingarcia398]

Why is ACMERC doing so well? That is concerning to me.

[@maricelaalvarez5465]

ACMERC is less that $1 just like the 2012 bitcoin days... time to buyyyyyyyyyyy

[@2eperezmontesinosjoseeduar113]

It's hard not to get excited about Block Sailor Token's explosion!

[@lucasuy9g]

Amazons AMS62K is worth it imo, right now its the earliest possible time to get in there and the lowest possible price. Sounds like finally I caught something in time lol, now watch the drop when I go buy it

[@Ronal-606]

Hopefully ACMERC will do good.. have alil over 10million ACMERC coins

[@telotawa]

anybody with consumer hardware and .... $100k to spare can produce ethereum blocks. yeah i think requiring a $2000 pc wouldn't be the major constraint here...

[@AshliGalindo-un2ig]

Brace yourself for the seismic impact of Block Sailor's explosion!

[@kamaraho16]

I think this year AMS62K will be x20-x50

[@dolichristopher]

I wish I had more money to invest in AMS62K.

[@gamingguru2135]

eth was cool, but everyone moved to solana now

[@user-tm1gi2xs8f]

E-commerce tokens are booming. ACMERC will go 50x after the launch.

[@chesstictacs3107]

Lol it’s fascinating to see people saying there are new blockchain technologies better than Ethereum. All new technological innovative attempts are great but do you think Ethereum stays still? 😂 Ethereum guys are monsters, the super complex technical challenges they have addressed so far are mind boggling. They are probably the most experienced group of people in the industry.

[@geoms6263]

this war with who has the biggest....block...is not good for the crypto space

[@reader1983]

Yes

[@cristianeziojaramillochave4687]

Folks, stop looking for the bottom, and just DCA ACMERC heavy for the next 6 months, and you will make out like a bandit when you sell in 2024

[@ILLGamingg]

Guys have you thought about doing a wedding ceremony with Ethereum?

[@mainplaya]

😂

[@PvMLad]

Layer 3's threaten eth's block space demand. Let's talk about how subnets are a better architectural choice for value accrual. Unfortunately for Eth, in the same way that Ethereum absorbed BTC big blockers, avalanche will absorb ethereans that think layer 3's (4's, 5's) equate to a reduction in block space demand at the layer 1.

[@safehavenassets]

BCASH 😂

[@stanislav5262]

what bugs me most is that almost all of these newly arriving L2s on ethereum make users bridge $eth from ethereum to their L2 as a must 🤯 seems like ethereum foundation makes them do this as a tribute

[@davycrockett8886]

Just use a DEX and go straight to an L2.

[@conormcnamara453]

I think ICP looks very interesting

[@MaxMohammadi]

No talk about Move lmfao?

[@bearwolffish]

This must be how religious people feel when you question their God because I instantly felt some defensiveness just reading the title.

[@4d-zi2ck]

so much easier and cheaper to become a solana validator than an Ethereum validator

[@thenubisproject]

One of the most popular L2s makes under 700k a day and ETH gets paid nothing basically but thats a good thing to you guys? haha Long term vision? lol

[@niklase5901]

I cant listen to this. I believe to you mean well, but you know nothing about technology. I suggest you invite someone who knows some tech for these kind of discussions in the future.

[@rick3792]

Here for the lols ..clown world

[@ILLGamingg]

Solana will be the theme of this show in time

[@pb8238]

LOL.. ROFLMAO

[@davycrockett8886]

Solana is nothing special. It's often broken and is controlled essentially by two entities - the Solana Foundation and Alameda.

[@ILLGamingg]

@@davycrockett8886 it’s complicated and new money don’t care about how decentralised the chain is 🤪all about adoption dude.

[@pb8238]

@@ILLGamingg So no one cares about decentralization, zero ETF for SOL then, it's a security, so no mainstream adoption ....... ROFL.

[@stanislav5262]

solana to $1k🚀

[@drock430]

Um Eth is falling behind and the charts look horrible. Raul Paul is 90% SOL

[@pb8238]

Very very dangerous position to be in. 90% of any asset. Dumb move. But then again I suppose the multi millionaire former trader might just have $900 of 1K invested. LOL

[@julianhops5217]

No, because Cardano is on another level

[@pb8238]

LOL.. ROFLMAO

[@chriswalth]

Pls explain how

[@watjos02]

Actually decentralised and secure, wallets can't be drained due to poor Erc tech Liquid staking, best defi product out there Native assets, actually own your assets unlike on ethereum Deterministic fees, no ridiculous gas fees Treasury and on chain governance about to happen through Chang hard fork, something Eth will never have

[@4d-zi2ck]

saw the title...thought id chime in.....ETH architecture absolutely sucks

[@thenubisproject]

Lets use 560 L2s instead of using Solana. Yeah makes sense lol Have got to get away from this eth chain maxi stuff before yall are like the grandpas yelling at young people for liking different things lol

[@emilybarraza8748]

For sure yes $ ACMERC. Going to have a huge Q4

[@user-lx7gt6qw2h]

I’ve heard Amazon is killing it with *ACMERC*
