Bitcoin-Explain to me how to buy these things (4 Viewers)

From the mouth of the head honcho

The http://PulseX.com and http://PulseChain.com MAIN NET are estimated to launch publicly in less than 7 days.

:popcorn:
I think its a go for tonight :pickle:
Oh Crap it just launched!

Wish me luck!

Hope you either got rid of your HEX in time or are holding strong! It dumped big time. I guess people taking profits?

It dropped becuase people were buying for the free copy, then once the snapshot of the copy was done, they dumped.

Sold all my liquid at 08. well the last of it.

Just have my staked hex. I actually expected it to drop more. I almost bought more at 2 cents, but got greedy.

What people dont know, is you get a free copy on the pulse network too. SO EVERY PRC20 COIN (I think except ETH) you get a free copy on the pulse network.

I will update when the bridge is open what to do. So if you own PEPE, or BEN, or a ton of others, for example, I have 117823567000 free copies of ben on the pulse network. that doesnt mean they have the same value as what you see on ETH/metamask though.

I will post some instructions. it just launched, so im still learning the new system. but if you have metamask, I can help
 
IF you use metamask and in the top right corner, it says "ethereum mainnet" and you had coins in there on 5-10-23, you have free copies on pulsechain.

I will post instructions on how to get them

EASY CRYPTO

go to https://www.coinbase.com and open an account and deposit money purchasing ETH etherium. not ETH 2. just ETH. it may take a few days
Congrats, you are in crypto. in a very stable (for crypto) item.


Current price is $1,823

I'll bet anyone $100 this does a measly 6% in the next 365 days. (ill give you 2 weeks to ask for the bet)

I say 6% because thats what my financial advisor says is the norm. barf
 
EASY Crypto Step 2.
So, anyone can open a coinbase account and buy something easy like BITCOIN BTC or Etherium ETH.
The issue is, its like buying something thats been on the market for years. which, if you are an "investor" i think both of these are great and you should stop here.
|If you would like to get a little risky, then you can do the following....
ON A COMPUTER THAT IS SAFE. THAT MEANS< NO PORN, STREAMING UFC, NFL, or anything. NO KEY LOGGERS.... seriously.
go to https://metamask.io/ and install the extension.

You are now going to be your own bank. treat it as such. write down your seed phrase and PW and dont do anything stupid like email it to yourself or take a pic. be a grown up and keep that **** secure.

step 3 in a few days
 

Network is still clogged. so no numbers yet.

If I look around and guess, im either wrecked or a millionaire. we shall see
 
If anyone is in the hex/pulse system...

good link

Or even if you want to follow how im doing.

I have
HEX
PLS
PLSX

all 3 show there
 
Current prices are....

PLS $.00016
PLSX $.000045
HEX $ .0179
are current prices. I hope to come back to this post in a year and laugh.

BUT. in actuality. even though I have had my money in for 2 years and have waited....

I am about even at these prices. Up a bit.

The bridge is clogged. $70MM deposited into bridge. only $21MM processed. I have high hopes. like 10X and then I will consider what to do.
 
Yesterday tried to pay out a client via Zelle through USBank. Payment declined. Tried again this morning, the same. Called USBank, they said transfers were blocked out of my account for 24 hours. Couldn't give a reason, couldn't reset it. Every time I try to send one, if I don't wait the full 24 hours, it resets.

And this doesn't even compare to my Wells Fargo fiasco earlier this year where they locked my account entirely and threatened to withhold all the money in my account because I turned on my VPN for Netflix content while I had a browser page open logged into my Wells account in the background and their system flagged it as fraud.

It's freaking unbelievable to me that people still support this bandaided together, expensive, archaic system of holding/moving money when there is an alternative that fixes everything sitting right there. I get that the average person only comes across this stuff every once in a while, but when you're in a field where you're moving money around all the time, you hit these arbitrary limits and rules on what the banks say we can do with our own money all the time.

Status quo bias, plain and simple.
 
@Captain Cranks and @FreeBaGeL - I was reading some article today as I was researching Paypal stock and saw a mention of FedNow, which I had never heard of before. Have you seen anything about this? Could potentially solve a lot of the fiat movement issues if executed well. (I know it’s easy to just assume it won’t be but let’s pretend it is executed well.)

I actually hadn't heard anything about it, but looking at it, it looks very similar to what I was describing might be the ultimate outcome of "crypto" a while back in this thread. That is that our current dollar, which is essentially digital/crypto USD, ends up on the blockchain.

In that sense, I'm all for it, though I'd rather not see it as optional where some things integrate it and some don't (it should just replace our USD entirely).

The thing that worries me most about the future of the blockchain is that banks will ultimately be the ones that lean into it, take all their advantages for themselves, and still retain control of our money even once money moves to the blockchain.

I've said all along that blockchain USD solves all of my problems, and is probably where the US will end up. That's the half of crypto/blockchain I really care about. The other half, decentralization, isn't currently as pertinent to the USA because we have reasonable trust in the USD and our government. That part of it is a bigger deal elsewhere where people are worried about hyper-inflation or worried about the government seizing their assets because they speak out against them.

This concerns me. I have an account with Union Bank and I recently got some mail saying that Union Bank got purchased by US Bank. Do you get the vibe that the issue that you recently had with US BanK has anything to do with their viability/liquidity? Also—if that’s not the case—(and I know this is not relevant to this thread)—aside from your bad experience with them today—are you generally happy with US Bank? I need to evaluate if I should just keep my account there or if I should explore moving it somewhere else.

I've been with US Bank pretty much my whole life, have a cc with them as well as checking/savings. Never had any issues of any sort that I can recall (finds some wood to knock on). I send Zelle payments to a relative out of the country every single month, never a problem.
 
I've said all along that blockchain USD solves all of my problems, and is probably where the US will end up

I've pretty much thought this all along as well - eventually the TradFi system will adopt blockchain and some version of a government-backed stable coin, and every crypto coin that's out there today just fades away. Maybe there will be a collectable market for BTC, like wheat pennies today. Doesn't mean there won't be money made along the way, plenty of people made money off Beanie Babies. But most will end up worthless.

eta: the coins, not the people, will be worthless.

No nothing to do with liquidity. It's real estate so I'm moving around decently large sums of money often which constantly triggers their transaction limits or fraud algorithms. Constantly.
 
Pulse environment update... The basics are all a go. Still waiting on staking. But you can buy and sell at will.
$122mm has been bridged into the environment.

I mentioned everyone may have free tokens on pulsechain network. from ETH network tokens. not ETH, but tokens on that network.
ERC20s you got a free copy.

Granted, they are not worth much yet, but they may go up.

Heres what to do if you have metamask....

1. goto https://app.pulsex.com/swap
2. connect your metamask
3. click the pull down for PLS in the middle of the screen
4. click manage tokens
5. click tokens
6. in new tab go to https://coinmarketcap.com/ and click on your coin
7. 4 lines under the token name you should see "contracts"
8. click the copy icon
9. for example shiba is 0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce

10. now go back to the pulsex tab and paste into the window that says 0x0000
11. click import
12. I understand and import
13. if you have a balance it will show.

The network is only a week old, so dont count on the dollar amounts being correct.
Than dont do anything. just let it go up in value

you had to own the coins when the snapshot was taken. about 10 days ago I think.
 
An example of free token.

I happened to own 117,823,567,000 BEN token on the snapshot day.

Value on ETH network is $7000
Value on pulse network is $250

as of right now. example
 
So, @KGB if I am correctly understanding everything I've read about Pulsechain, Heart just copied the Etherium network 1-for-1 to essentially create knockoff versions of existing cryptos, and is trying to get the Pulse network to overtake the ETH network (eventually), is that right?

If that is correct, it would seem to me that the investment I want to get into for that ecosystem is Pulsex, which IIRC, is the token for his exchange. it would be what the BNB token is for the Binance exchange, right? Correct me if I have misspoken here please, you are the Hex/Pulse guru.

I think how it is (and imnot an expert)

PLS - pulse chain is ETH copy with lower fees and free tokens
PLSX is kinda like uniswap

So I screwed up and got rugpulled.:crying:

not by anything I posted here.

but someone posted a BTC token to the pulse network and i saw it flying up. so I bought. ALOT. and got whammied. this sucks

up $150K in 1 minute and lost a bunch 5 seconds later. it was a stupid stupid gambling bet where i tried to hop on a train and with 1 giant sell i lost a lot of money. i didnt post it here and it happened fast. like under a minute.

luckily I have my original investment still.

so we are starting over with what i know vs stupid stuff.
I currently have my crypto money (NOT ALL retirement money!!!)} but my crypto funds into the following....

split about equal give or take.

PLS - $.000199
PLSX - $0000861
INC - $51
HEX - $.0215

all on the pulse network

I think they all go up. but I will try ratio trading them .

good luck to all

Can I bother you to kinda explain what happened to a person that isn’t super knowledgable about the smaller coins? I keep my exposure to crypto basically relegated to bitcoin. Does ”rugpulled” mean you got sucked into some sort of pump and dump? Just trying to make sense of it.

In a general sense, a rug pull is when the creator(s) of the token have a sizable amount of the tokens in circulation (meaning that they can manipulate the price... when other people start putting money in, they cash out). Not that the owner can't take profits of course, but at a certain point/percentage, they have the ability to suck most/all the liquidity out of the token and leave the other investors holding nearly worthless tokens.

This is why doing research on these projects prior to investing is paramount. Not that there still aren't risks (as with any investment), but you can identify shady ones up front with a little research. The red flags for me include: ownership renounced (meaning they haven't left themselves a back door to steal money via smart contracts); an abnormal percentage (it depends on the number of investors already in, but general rule for me is >5%) of tokens held by the originator of the token (or any one wallet, really); majority of the liquidity has been locked away for a period of time via smart contract (there are firms that do this).

In practice however, people generally use the term "rug pull" any time a project crashes or doesn't work out, or any time a token sees a sharp decline in price. People overuse the term now. If a project is poorly managed and doesn't do well or cause the value of the token to crash that's not a "rug pull", but most people will use that term, so it's important to look at each situation individually.

you are absolutely right there 💯 When in reality, some of them were just not good projects. There are plenty, IMO, that have a good plan and just don't have the backing, or the technical skills to bring it to fruition. When researching, I also put a lot of stock in the owner/dev team members and what projects they were in prior to the current project.

Kinda. Except no one sold it to me. I just saw something flying up and decided to hop on train.

Then 1 huge sale happened and whammy
