************************************************************************************ @daniellegfny Yes, I understood what you were saying with your first post. I created several digital artworks but stopped working on them when I heard that public interest in NFTs had diminished. Plus that whole process seemed overwhelming at the time and it discouraged me. I need to work on a different project this week but I'm going to get back to my nifties by Thursday. I plan to upload some artwork to the Coinbase platform when it becomes available. Meanwhile, I will educate myself on uploading NFTs to Coinbase and perhaps one other platform, like OpenSea. And I'm compiling a directory of NFT marketplaces and resources. I will send that to you by Friday, you might find it useful. I apologize for going off topic about the crypto business. I thought that I was adding something informative to the conversation but it didn't seem to do any good. Stay safe! ************************************************************************************

I wasn't there with R. Kelly or G. Gordon Liddy. One of the biggest themes of America is Redemption. @Mzuri I think I should have been more clear in pointing out that this NFT I'm talking about is my item to be invested in and bought. While you understood that, the Noobs like @Pioneer1 were totally on the wrong track.

************************************************************************************ @Troy They have operating expenses, like every other business. That does not mean they are not making $30,000 a month. You posted you make $3,000 from AdSense on some days. Did you factor in all your operating costs when you made that statement? No, because your operating expenses doesn't change what you made from AdSense. I would never question you as to how many days you actually made $3,000, because it's none of my business, nor are you required to divulge. Just because I said a couple thousand dollars doesn't make these kids' crypto mining operation a scam, nor was I misleading. A couple of thousand is simply a figure of speech. Do you require an exact tally of the initial investment, because I've calculated all of that. The boy started off with an Alienware Gaming Computer, that's between $1,700 and $2,600, that and some graphics cards is what he started with. Graphics cards prices vary. The article lists most everything he did, the father didn't want to divulge the amount of the loan because that is proprietary. He is not required to provide every aspect of his business model. So it might actually be an initial investment of $7,000+ Is that better? I have mined Bitcoin on a small scale. And even if a person can make $100 a day, it's better than being broke. That's the way I look at that. There's other info about this that I cannot post here. Everything is not a SCAM just because people are skeptical. ************************************************************************************

@ProfDThis is true; particularly since Blacks aren't free to run around doing everything white folks do. At the same time, Blacks are also quick to justify doing bad things by saying "white folks do it, too". This also speaks to my point that Blacks ought to stop coming up with ideas to have a black James Bond, and a black Superman, and the latest - black Ken and Barbie dolls. These are the ongoing contradictions of being black in a white controlled world.

@Jasmine Reed: You can weaponize words, and empower them. To a white person, the word "nigger" is like a bullet they can use to wound, frustrate and anger a black person. This puts the white person in a position of power and control because it dictates how a black person will react. The choice to use the slavery-tainted word remains to this day an option for white people and it has never lost its impact. . When the n-word and all of its variations is used among and between black folks, its implication is conveyed by the tone and inflection of the user's voice. And this dynamic is uniquely black. Most blacks want this multi-faceted word removed from black speech because of its painful history and the license it gives white people to use it. Others continue to use it in private conversation because there's just no substitute for it! Of this I am guilty. Or. has the younger generation shown any great inclination to eliminate it from its street slang. Should we use the N word? Well, maybe. As long as the n-word doesn't use us.
