Just got scammed over at GiftCardExchange by "hidude1212"

Just wanted to give folks a heads up - I tried to exchange two $50 Visa gift cards that I got for Christmas for Bitcoin, but he totally ghosted after I gave him the info and now I'm screwed.

It looks like he made a fake little history as a "verified trader". It's sad that this community isn't honest as a whole, and it really sucks that I got screwed out of my Christmas presents. That Bitcoin was really important to me, as I'm not so well off.

Just thought I'd spread the word.

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.

Uber & Robinhood Angel Investor: 99% of Crypto Projects Are Garbage

Image
In 2017 and 2018, thousands of entrepreneurs were attempting to launch their own crypto project to capitalize on the bubble-like conditions. Due to the mania, there are now over 5,000 digital assets listed on CoinMarketCap — and there are likely thousands of others that failed to make the cut. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is convinced that all players in such a saturated market have value. One prominent venture capitalist, in fact, went as far as to say that 99% of crypto projects are simply “garbage.” Related Reading: DeFi Effect: Scaling Debate Begins as Ethereum Fees Reach Two-Year Highs Most Crypto Projects Are “Garbage”  Jason Calacanis is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and angel investor.

In 2019, he was bearish, postulating that Bitcoin could fall to $500. Yet, the investor has recently begun to change his mind, telling Morgan
