Some things that I assumed are understood without saying but for those who are new to all this: Most of these cards have a “minimum spend” to get the bonus. The assumption here is that you can meet this spend without changing your spending habits. If you can’t, don’t get them. You also need to have a solid credit score to get approved- if you don’t, use this as motivation to get a better one. For me this type of stuff is “just for fun” but for others a 10-12k “bonus” just for having a good credit score is a once in a lifetime vacation for 2 or a family of 4. And again goes without saying, but you shouldn’t be accumulating debt on your credit card. The right way to do this is to not change your spending habits but rather change your method of payment. Instead of using a debit card, cash or even crypto to pay expenses, use a credit card (responsibly), pay it off completely every month so you pay zero interest, rack up points, and enjoy trips/vacations you probs never thought were possible. This only works if you spend within your means and completely avoid interest charges- those will wipe away any benefit you’re getting from points in an instant. Again, all the above I assumed goes without saying, but for those who really are new to all this keep the above in mind.

careful on any new TRUMP type of coin coming in. i dont think this is the same generational opportunity the first one had. if you see it super early (im talking first minute), full stacking is probably good. if you're late in any way/shape/form, would be cautious

Higher time frame view of $BTC: Higher low formed in that chop period, it was similar to that May 2021 area where price formed a low. I think it's a great low given the amount of time (2 months) and volatility that we saw. While there are going to be some small pullbacks, I think we strongly break 100k in the next several weeks as long as equities dont completely shit the bed (sadly I see a lot of lower high / its over type of posts).

Gala Games has announced plans to shut down The Walking Dead NFT game by July 31. According to the publisher, the role-playing NFT game, dubbed after the popular TV show, will be shuttered and users will no longer be able to play it after the date. The Walking Dead: Empires is a multiplayer survival game that was built around Ethereum NFTs. The game was opened to players in its beta version last year after the developers initially announced its creation in 2021. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to sunset The Walking Dead: Empires, with the last playable date set for July 31, 2025,” wrote Gala Games in a statement this week. The Walking Dead NFT game was available for playtests in early 2023, with the game mandating players to craft weapons, build bases, and fight for survival. The players were charged to keep a safe distance from the zombies or “walkers.” To enhance the gaming experience, users were allowed to buy NFT s in the form of supplies, weapons, or deeds to build a safe base. Unlike some in-game items that disappear from a player’s inventory, The Walking Dead: Empires made sure that their NFT-based items were indestructible. While prices have dropped drastically from the bull market period, some in-game items saw their price shoot up over the last few years. According to data from the OpenSea marketplace, legendary land deed claims, for example, sold for as much as $67,000 in 2021. In 2023, when the game was still available for playtests, users were still asking for top dollars on some items. For example, the NFT-based handgun sold for about $30,000 at the time, with some lower-level items also costing around $1,000. Now, most of these items are being rendered useless after the developers announced plans to shut things down. As compensation to the players, Gala Games has plans to distribute other NFTs from its gaming ecosystem to users. The platform says it will provide those with “equal functionality” to their existing The Walking Dead: Empires NFT holdings. “While the game’s journey is coming to an end, we remain committed to ensuring that these NFTs continue to have utility,” its statement reads. “As part of the sunset process, we will be distributing new NFTs of equal functionality in other Gala Games products to TWD:E NFT holders.” As expected, users showed mixed feelings towards the news, with the majority of them not taking the news in good faith. “The Walking Dead: Empires officially rugs on Gala,” said crypto gaming personality Jesus Martinez on X (formerly known as Twitter). “People paid upwards of $10K+ for lands and are now getting $2 mystery boxes.” Other players also followed in the same opinion, with a user saying, “Gala mastered the art of frontend extraction and backend non-delivery. Beyond blatant at this point. Add this to the list of money grabs with no intention to fulfill.” The platform has also mentioned that holders of The Walking Dead: Empires NFTs, as of the snapshot that took place on April 29, will receive boxes containing items depending on the type and rarity of their Walking Dead NFTs. The Walking Dead IP also featured in NFTs on the Eluvio blockchain in addition to a collaboration with the Ethereum metaverse game, The Sandbox . The NFT game was modeled after the post-apocalyptic zombie show, which was based on a popular comic book, and ran across 11 seasons and 177 episodes, with multiple shows spinning off the original.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick filed a wide initiative to push the role of Bitcoin (BTC) in the American economy. The move aims to provide policy support to domestic mining and urge its inclusion in federal economic reports. According to a recent interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Lutnick disclosed how the Department of Commerce intends to work with President Donald Trump’s plan to have the United States become a pioneer for the Bitcoin economy. At the center of the plan is the recently created Investment Accelerator office, established last month at the direction of President Trump. The office is meant to clear regulatory obstacles and streamline the process for businesses to secure necessary operational licenses in order to speed up investments totaling $1 billion into the U.S. economy. However, Lutnick clarified that this program is intended for use by cryptocurrency-related undertakings. According to him, such an initiative “will benefit Bitcoin mining companies and allow miners to set up shop in the U.S.” It is a change from how the prior federal approach has treated digital asset businesses, which have often had to wait for slow licensing and uncertain regulatory treatment. Lutnick also talked about reducing their reliance on local power infrastructure through the building of energy supplied by the Bitcoin miners themselves. Mining is said to have described a model in which miners could power dedicated power stations close by to their data centers with untapped gas fields. “Bitcoin miners will be allowed to put their data centers on top of gas fields, with a power plant set up right next to them,” he said. Lutnick further added , This way, miners won’t be drawing power [from the existing grid]. The power costs of Bitcoin mining are one of the most critical expenses, and so applying this strategy could potentially significantly decrease them while providing energy autonomy for Bitcoin mining operations. Lutnick believes this setup would allow American miners to “control their destinies,” enabling long-term sustainability and scalability in the industry. Besides mining logistics, the Secretary of Commerce also spoke about the role of Bitcoin in today’s economy. Lutnick views BTC as a commodity instead of a currency. Thus, Lutnick suggested that the Bureau of Economic Affairs (BEA) should be able to start counting Bitcoin within its national account systems. Moreover, the agency should use the same type of methodologies pertaining to gold, which is tracking overall account metrics, imports, exports, and refining, he said. However, Lutnick said that Bitcoin support is increasing within the administration, as reported earlier. Alongside himself, he cited the involvement of White House Crypto Czar David Sacks as part of a broader effort to normalize crypto in the U.S. financial and regulatory scene. This initiative echoes President Trump’s stated desire to ensure the remaining supply of Bitcoin is mined domestically, solidifying the nation’s footprint in both the crypto and energy sectors
