The GEN 3 sell was a failure, only boats scooped almost al of it.
You are really lucky if you have been able to buy any GEN3 ones from the reddit shop today. For most (humans) the shop only showed error messages. For some (including me) even the shop tab was missing and is still missing. On the other hand the following twitter status boasts how their bots were able to scoop a good amount. [https://twitter.com/PastelAlpha/status/1645843534099124225](https://twitter.com/PastelAlpha/status/1645843534099124225) The only feasible payment method for me was Google Play store, I topped up money there just to buy some of these GEN3 ones, I don't know what to do with my Play Store balance now. 1 - Have you been able to buy any GEN3 ones? 2 - Do you plan to buy from whatever is left when/ if once the shop actually works?

Reddit Hired Solana Developers for Deploying Gen 3 [SATIRE]
At approximately 1 PM EST today, Reddit released the 3rd generation of their collectibles. It was a much anticipated event, and many rushed to the shop and pulled out their credit cards to make huge purchases. 3 minutes later, users were met with "Error: cannot complete purchase" messages. As it turns out, Reddit shop is officially shut down. It appears the shut down is the consequence of hiring Solana developers to deploy the smart contracts and minting features. Reddit co-founder Alex Ohanian had this to stay, "We are a web3 company, and we wanted our users to feel the same pain that Solana users feel on a weekly basis, so we thought hiring their developers would be a great idea for our most anticipated launch of the year." There is no update on when the shop will reopen, but we know one thing, it's bound to crash the second it comes up again.

Let’s be honest the Avatar drop failure is part of crypto greed
Lettuce be cereal here the reason most people are interested in this drop is due to rising prices There is a reason why Gen 1 took so long to sell out. The resell market and bots have killed the aspirations of avatar collectables to succeed and be legitimate. It’s a huge failure and apart of the crypto paradox of greed. I do feel for the average joe/Jane who wants to actually have an avatar for the art not the dollars. Surely there could be a more fair and competent system. Again the bots and traders win in this rigged game.

Don’t buy GEN 3 !
As you may have heard, the 3rd release of Reddit avatars happened to be a total failure, caused by buying bots. Even though I don’t care much about these, I felt the deception of many redditors. This definitely shows Reddit doesn’t care much about bringing measures that could prevent such bot attacks. They only care about selling NFTs, may it be humans or spripts spamming buy requests. I strongly disagree with this attitude and firmly encourage people to send a message to Reddit and the obnoxious people behind the bots : ***do not buy these NFTs on secondary markets*** Let those overpriced avatars rot in wallets. Don’t let these people speculate on abusive behavior that Reddit doesn’t seem to care about. This is your choice, even though you can’t fight bots, you can definitely mess with the people behind that probably won’t do it again if they don’t sell any of this gen. Sorry many of you couldn’t get their NFT, may the future bring some to you

What do you think of creator selling their avatar for $250?
I had some creators that I thought were fun and I like the style, but when I saw $250, I laughed. Even if it comes back online and available, I'm not even gonna touch it. Having prices that high is just good for boots. What's the difference in a 300x300 pixels image at $250 or $800 for a Taylor Swift ticket...you have more for your money with Taylor Swift and I don't even like her. Even for the big one like Rojom, I'm not gonna drop $250 on a Reddit avatar. What I would do instead is : 1. Buy $250 of BTC 2. Open a browser and type in google "ReadBerserk for free"

Recent developments on the NANO (XNO) network.
Interesting developments with V24 and V25 on the NANO network, resulting in some promising results. From Patrick Luberus, on twitter : « Gr0vity created a 30 node [\#Nano](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Nano?src=hashtag_click) network running V23 & V24, simulating the live network. Run 1: \~65% weight on V24 📷 Result: \~50 CPS (V23 nodes lag behind) ; Run 2: \~75% on V24 (e.g. when Kraken upgrades) 📷 Result: Almost 1000 CPS, aka BPS == CPS. » [https://twitter.com/patrickluberus/status/1645164261310693378](https://twitter.com/patrickluberus/status/1645164261310693378)

Is it worth it to wait for "dead cat bounces" on crypto projects or should I just move on?
I was a total degen in the last bullmarket and made an alts-only portfolio near the top, which obviously bled to death in this bear. Now I'm left with a bunch of coins that I don't believe in anymore(or at least not as before) , and I'm also eft with a Solana token that /10xed in price but is recovering very slowly. I became a kind of eth/btc maxi, and now I'm not sure whether to sell those coins at the nearest green candle / dead cat bounce and convert them to eth , hold onto them, or replace them with other more promosing alts. Kindly share what you'd do in this situation.

What’s your plan if all the banks collapse and you’re unable to make a withdrawal or use your credit cards?
Many retailers and food places in most countries aren’t yet equipped to take Bitcoin transactions, and you won’t be able to cash out your crypto due to the failing banks… So, how will Bitcoin help us in this scenario?
