Have you tried PredIQt (prediqt.everipedia.org)? This is a prediction market on the EOS blockchain. Prediction markets are exchange-traded markets created for the purpose of trading the outcome of events. For example will Donald Trump win the 2020 US presidential election or Will there be more than 100,000 deaths in the USA due to Covid-19 by the end of May? Market prices can indicate what the crowd thinks the probability of the event is. The science behind a prediction market is that crowdsourced (collective)knowledge is likely to be more accurate than a single expert. If you are curious about Prediction Markets you can read a science article from Nature here: https://www.nature.com/news/the-power-of-prediction-markets-1.20820

William Shatner's memorabilia are immortalized on the WAX blockchain as digital Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). They represent an intimate collection of photographs from his personal life and film career That can now be bought, sold, and traded on the WAX Blockchain.
Here is a short review of William Shatner’s memorabilia cards on the WAX blockchain. My top cards “The Hug”(#4 of 10 Radiant)- just a really beautiful card , “The Male Model” (#1 of 50) because it is the first card. “Fixing The Jupiter 8” (#4 of 50) and “Contemplating Kirk” (#6 of50) as those two cards make specific references to “Star Trek” and “Captain On The Bridge” (#50 of 50) a really beautiful photo to end the series on. All 50 have their unique qualities and I am sure many of his fans will want to own these NFTs on the WAX blockchain.
For more information and to see all the cards visit: https://shatnercards.io/catalog

Garbage Pail Kid (GPK) cards are now on the WAX blockchain. You can purchase them with credit card here https://toppsgpk.io or you can go to the WAX simple market to buy and sell with WAX tokens here https://wax.simplemarket.io/home. Topps the trading card company chose WAX because the WAX Blockchain is a safe and convenient way to create, buy, sell, and trade virtual items to anyone, anywhere in the world.

My favourite card would be an “Ian” card but there is no Ian lol. I am collecting ADAM BOMB cards because ADAM BOMB (Series 1 #8a) became an icon of the Garbage Pail Kids trading card franchise and this image was used on the first five series' packs. I am also collecting NASTY NICK (Series 1 #1a) as this was the very first card of the very first series released in 1985. The MEGA packs (2000) sold out in less than 7 hours!

Happy 12th Anniversary of the first bitcoin transaction! On January 12th 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto sent Hal Finney 10 bitcoins. When Satoshi published his whitepaper 12 years ago, and then mined the genesis block a little over two months later (Jan. 3rd 2009), there was still a lot of Bitcoin to build. There were no wallets, no block explorers and no exchanges — in fact there wasn’t even an exchange rate. Nor was there a symbol to represent the bitcoin currency. The first attempt at a logo was designed by Satoshi himself for the first Bitcoin client and comprised a gold coin containing the letters BC.
The Bitcoin blockchain is likely the most decentralized blockchain on the planet. But this decentralization did not happen overnight. For all the people who say (insert your favourite crypto or blockchain here) is Centralized. I have made this graphic to show that you have to start off somewhat Centralized. The level of Decentralization Evolves with time. Did Bitcoin start off Decentralized? No. Because on January 12th 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto sent Hal Finney 10 bitcoins. Yes two people.
Here is a quote that is becoming more apparent as the days go by:
“Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Everything we do after a pandemic will seem inadequate. This is the dilemma we face, but it should not stop us from doing what we can to prepare. We need to reach out to everyone with words that inform, but not inflame. We need to encourage everyone to prepare, but not panic." Michael O. Leavitt, 2007. Michael Leavitt was then the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Lbry Friends stay safe!
