    1. Paypal is the best, such a pain when a website doesnt have paypal at checkout…i tried to sign up for 'the information' at xmas or whenever they had a deal going at the new year and just wanted to slap the annual subscription onto my paypal, lo and behold, the information doesnt offer paypal lol. So, i still don't have a sub to them, went w/WSJ instead. i do sub to some of the information's free newlsetters. If they offered paypal, i'd be a paid subscriber already. Malique was cool 💯

    2. 58:06 The fees are the price you pay for the luxury of skipping the purchasing line. I know it's a grift, but it's also the closest you can ever get to free money.

    3. Open banking by plaid and tink or Truelayer is the future of E-commerce

      It avoids visa and MasterCard and payment processing acquirers

    4. Transaction fees are the failure of Ethereum. So many chains could have handled that launch with everyone paying at most a $10 fee including mint cost. Solana had a rough week but they are my favorite… but Terra, Avalanche, Polygon, or Algorand would have nailed the execution of this drop 100%

    5. There is no cue with NFT minting because it’s a launch, which really is the magic and excitement. I think you should both experience a drop and the frenzy around it so you can get the “every man’s” mindset on the NFT culture

    6. It's been pumping and dumping in this range for ages! It's technically just going sideways, sideways means generally stagnant… But could be worse could be stocks. Trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 15.2 BTC when I started at 4.5 BTC in just few weeks implementing Michael Christensen's daily trading signals and tips. .
