Former SEC official: Ripple trial will drag on for years
Former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official Joseph Hall predicted on the Thinking Crypto podcast the Ripple lawsuit could drag on for more than a year.
According to Hall, do not expect the trial to end in 2022.
The regulator in late 2020 accused Ripple of selling $1.3 billion in unregistered securities under the guise of XRP tokens.
Hall claims the lawsuit won't end anytime soon since the parties are firmly entrenched in their positions and won't take the deal.
Hall himself is backing the XRP token issuer in the regulator's dispute with Ripple.
According to the former official, the situation seems odd because the Ripple network had been operating for years before it was brought to the attention of the SEC and sued.

"Bitcoin is going to fall to $20k."
Analyst predicted the collapse of the cryptocurrency
Cryptoanalyst Benjamin Cowen claims in the next few months it is highly likely that bitcoin will collapse to $20 thousand.
Cowen referred to historical data, according to which the bitcoin rate returned to the 200-week moving average (MA) in the correction phase most of the time. On Feb. 25, it passes around $20,000.
"If we’re going to the 200-week moving average, I think it would actually occur a lot sooner than May of 2023. I think it’s more likely to occur in the next few months rather than really far out," the analyst noted.

Dogecoin co-founder criticized "meme" cryptocurrencies over lust for profit
Dogecoin co-founder Billy Marcus wrote on Twitter that "meme" cryptocurrencies have long ceased to be "satire".
According to Marcus, Dogecoin was created eight years ago to mock the useless tokens popping up daily on the crypto market.
Nowadays, though, "meme" cryptocurrencies are only issued for profit and gain by their creators.
"Spam advertising, lying about who is involved in a project, making up ridiculous promises, desperately trying to get Elon’s attention to promote you, etc. are not clever or amusing," Marcus noted.

Why do people take credits on GameFi and reasons not to do so
GameFi is short for "game" and "financial".
This term refers to a segment of the game where you can earn money.
Consider how much you need to spend to be able to earn in GameFi.
Let's take Axie Infinity as an example.
To start earning from the game, you need at least a few hundred dollars. The money is needed to buy in-game NFTs.
According to Reddit users, you can form your "army" of axics to start earning in Axie Infinity for $400-600.
Those wishing to purchase top in-game NFTs will need to spend over $1000.
Earnings in the game range from $7-13 per day ($217-403/month).
Accordingly, it can take over a month to recoup your investment in Axie Infinity, and that's assuming the owner of gaming NFTs plays regularly.
Based on the Salary Explorer platform, the average wage in the Philippines, as of early 2022, is about $870 per month.
It turns out that the average Filipino who wants to start making money with Axie Infinity has to spend at least half of his monthly salary to get into the project.
Not all Filipinos went to traditional financial institutions for loans. Many players decided to find a lender online.
As an example, a 20-year-old Filipino wants to take out an $1856 loan to start earning money from Axie Infinity.
The young man is convinced that he can pay back the debt in 2 months. Reddit forum users are confident that the Filipino will not meet the deadline.
Web users also point out the high risks of entering GameFi-projects.
When the hype around play-to-earn subsided, market participants were faced with falling prices for NFT gaming and other game-related assets, including native project tokens.
