▫️ NFTs are dead.

Really?

Today,
@DopeGrowersNFT
is releasing its third collection:

Gen1 PFT mint.

Let's take a look.

🧵 #4

NFTs are on a downtrend.

But there are some projects that provide practical benefits.

DGS is one.

Take a look at the rise in FP
since the first mint (Gen0) in January.

▫️ About

DGS is an NFT project
that links owning an IRL cannabis plant
to an NFT.

The goal is to create a Web2 & 3 brand,
and community of cannabis enthusiasts.

This brand has already created
an online Dope shop, B2B sales, rev shares,
an affiliate program, and more.

▫️ Utility

Each NFT is linked to a real cannabis plant.

Cannabis laws are changing, especially in Europe.

DGS provides its NFT holders with a profitable
Web3 version of a cannabis brand.

The benefits are the revenue shares.

▫️ Revenue share

Gen0 NFT will receive 40% of monthly revenue and Gen1 30%.

Two payouts have already been made, one as a surprise.

All details and numbers are in the graphics.

▫️ Mint

The Gen0 grow rooms collection
had a limited supply of 777.

The mint date was January 23, 2023.
with a mint price of 4,2 Solana.

DGS Seeds Airdrop was released on July 3, 2023
as a free airdrop of 2420 Seed NFTs.

▫️ Gen1 Mint
is just happening right now while you're reading this.

The coin size is 6,666, but most of them
are already sold in a pre-sale.

👇 You will find all the information in this DGS post:

https://twitter.com/DopeGrowersNFT/status/1687006978332151808?s=20

▫️ The Dope Shop
is already online.

You can buy
CBD, CBN, CBG oils, and HHC vapes
with a 25% discount as a NFT holder

The payment will be done with
@helio_pay and USDC.

dopegrowers. io/shop/

▫️Conclusion

This NFT project is different
and has so far been under the radar.

I bought three Gen0 myself in January,
and I will buy Gen1 NFTs now.

So far, I'm pleasantly surprised.

I will keep you updated after the Gem1 mint.

🔸 Unlock the mystery of DAC8.

▫️ Tax regulations in the EU.

🧵 Thread #44👇

▫️ EU regulations on crypto-assets are getting more updates.

DAC8 is the Tax Transparency Rule for Crypto Assets.

MiCA crypto-asset service providers must report.

https://twitter.com/wssounddesign/status/1650834866710409216

▫️ tl;dr

EU tax officials share information through the DAC, with DAC8 being the newest change.

It will make it easier for tax authorities to track crypto assets.

Lost, incorrect, or misleading information will cost a penalty

▫️ What does DAC8 mean?

The "Directive on Administrative Cooperation" (DAC) is the main way EU tax officials share information.

The term “DAC8” refers to the eighth change, which is the latest modification.

▫️ What is the content?

It is difficult for tax authorities to track the capital gains from crypto trading.

The European Commission proposed DAC8 on December 8, 2022, requiring crypto asset providers to report EU consumer transactions.

This will make it easier for tax authorities to track the sale of crypto assets and the proceeds.

Tax fraud and evasion will decrease,
but crypto transactions will be fully controlled.

▫️ Penalties

The Commission will set a minimum amount of penalties for the whole DAC, not just for DAC8.

Member States should impose minimum financial penalties if 25% of a report contains missing, wrong, or false information.

▫️ When do the rules apply?

Member states must approve and print DAC8-compliant laws, regulations, and administrative rules by December 31, 2025.

It will go into effect on January 1, 2026.

DAC8 applies to every EU member nation.

🧵 Thread #41👇

▫️ tl;dr

Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoin to Jeremy Sturdivant
for two Papa John's pizzas on May 22, 2010.

▫️ Laszlo Hanyecz was one of the very first Bitcoin miners.

Laszlo was born in Jacksonville, Florida,

▫️ He asked for two pizzas in exchange for bitcoins.

With standard toppings like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, and regular cheese pizzas.

"No weird fish topping or anything like that"

▫️ A few days later, on May 22, 2010, Hanyecz made a deal with Jeremy Sturdivant aka "Jercos".

Jercos received 10,000 BTC from Laszlo in exchange for the pizza he purchased for him.

The transaction took place through IRC (Internet Relay Chat).

▫️ Back then, 10,000 bitcoins were worth about $41 while the price of two pizzas was $25.

Jeremy sold his 10,000 BTC for $400 shortly after the transaction.

In total, Laszlo spent 100,000 BTC on pizza.
