What is the difference between a “traditional" IRA and a "self-directed" IRA?‍
There is no legal distinction between a traditional IRA and a self-directed IRA. While traditional, Roth, SEP, and other IRAs can all be “self-directed” (meaning you choose what to invest in), most brokerages and custodians don’t allow investments in unregistered securities, frequently referred to as “alternative assets.” With The Alternative IRA®, Alto investors have the control and flexibility to invest their IRA in assets uniquely suited to long-term investing—like startups, real estate, and more.

the website for those... things... should have more information about how they supposedly donate to mental health i'm sure

quote:

OUR VISION

We conceptualised Lockdown Lemmings as a way to celebrate the NFT trend. We love the way people unite and follow, based on mutual appreciation for creative visual artwork.

We believe that Lemmings perfectly encapsulate the fun, friendly way in which people group together anonymously through the internet.

We want to foster a supportive, welcoming environment with the mantra that whoever you are, and wherever you're from, you have a place to call home.

Lemmings are a brand that we think have unlimited potential, and with your help, WAGMI.

and... donate to mental health, right??

literally the only reference to "net proceeds donated to mental health" that they've mentioned multiple times on twitter is this scheduled task for october:

quote:

- A donation to a mental-health charity, to ease the burden of lockdowns.

oh, A Donation to A Nonspecific Charity, okay cool

ive had a casual ongoing search set up on twitter that shows me recently posted discord invite links, 50+% of recent ones have been inane nft stuff, apparently they run giveaways?

you get the nft for free and just hope it has speculative value? surely we cant be that far away from a crash

Man, it is impossible for me to make out exactly what is happening in each transaction on those nft contracts, but the transaction fees that seem to be involved in even Opensea checking on the contracts are non-negligible.

I mean, assuming eth was actually worth the money they claimed and people could actually redeem it for such.

not sure what you mean by «Opensea checking on the contracts» but any Eth code that doesn’t change the state of the blockchain will be run locally on a node, for free

I still struggle to understand what success means for an NFT project. Number go up? What makes one NFT bullshit better than the rest of them in the eyes of 'investors'? With various cryptos, at least there are measurable technological differences (not always), but how do you even begin to compare Cyber Penguins and Crypto Punks?
