You just download the Metamask iPhone app, send your eth to the metamask wallet and swap it in the app with about 2 button pushes.<br /> <br /> Also I appreciate the tag however I have no idea about any of this, I am the person on the left in the picture Ace made For EVmaso, so do not follow my advice but since you asked, I bought all eth in this dip, although with these other comments I think I may buy some more lsko as well.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The infrastructure bill was signed and the crypto market seems to drop at the moment. What do you think about it? Are there any changes in taxation of cryptocurrency for people not residing in the USA? I heard that every transaction over 10k$ should now include a social insurance number but I don&#039;t know how this should be implemented, especially for the NFTs.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Lol, once again USA thinks they are the planet earth.<br /> <br /> If it was the infrastructure bill I&#039;m guessing it all goes back up shortly after when the world remembers there are like 6.5 billion members outside of that clown shoe county.<br /> <br /> On a sad note I was going to sell a couple eth to cover some stuff, and the night I was going to my house blew the breaker and I spent a day and a half dealing with that and figuring stuff out. The day after the breaker went down and I had no power the cell towers also went down and I was not able to make calls or access the internet. All while trying to arrange emergency services to cut my house power so the breaker could be replaced.<br /> <br /> On top of that the city utility also had an issue with their emergency line and I couldn&#039;t get through to them on my parents landline. And my wife had to work soon and I had to watch the kids. And the utility offices were closed due to &quot;corona&quot; and physically going there had me only talking to a security guard who gave me the number to an emergency line that did not work.... FML. And through all this eth drops $1000 Canadian. Ugh.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I think buying today will make you quite happy by Christmas, the mega-spending infrasctructure bill, if anything, will keep pumping bitcoin/cryptos and bring more inflation to the US.<br /> <br /> No need to sell in these red days. <br /> <br /> I even made a trade and earn in a day what here is a month worth of salary. <br /> <br /> <br /> I remember somebody on this thread buying eth at 2400 months ago. I bet he is not too sad about this drop to 4K.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Those who spent copious amount of time in online games will understand the value of the metaverse.<br /> Even back then, when your characters where owned by a third-party company,<br /> you still felt really good about leveling them up and owning a powerful character.<br /> People created their own in-game economy and culture.<br /> As ownership is getting decentralized and NFTs basically allow you to own your powerful character forever, imagine how metaverses will expand and thrive.<br /> Like an online game without real limits.<br /> Metaverses are able to become a second kind of real-world society.<br /> <br /> My view on it is probably pretty simple as opposed to the 150 IQ Zhu Su&#039;s out there.<br /> <br /> Having said that, I don&#039;t really like the idea of spending time online,<br /> so I&#039;ll work on something that supports LIFE as opposed to DISCONNECT.</div>

Everything is collateralized in one way or another - so there&#039;s always the risk of the underlying to account for. At surface level you eat up time-value of the dollar at the expense of the volatility, up or down, of the underlying assets.</div>

You&#039;re investing what you can, there are many people who still haven&#039;t even interacted with this space. Don&#039;t chase FOMO (fear of missing out), just continue to play in this space and learn. In my books, you&#039;re still ahead of the game by just interacting and learning in this space.</div>

With the vesting period that&#039;s 0,3% daily of those tokens. This gives us still time to markup before it goes into distribution.</div>
