Any thoughts or news on the tZERO? They are in a 2nd round of 'accredited investors' investing before the ICO. Not sure I'd be considered an accredited investor but I'm gonna see if I can get verified.

Apparently they are trying to be the one regulated exchange. I dont know. I read too fast when excited and comprehension goes down.

You don't have to wonder if you are an "accredited investor", it is a well defined term. In short, and individual must:

1) Have an annual income of $200k (or $300k joint) for the last two years

or

2) Have a net worth over $1 million

or

3) Is an officer/director of an issuer of unregistered securities
 
I lost a lot of money on WTC today... they released good news, but whales weren't having it. :x

he's hyperfocused on bitcoin and not crypto or even blockchain

while his argument may be accurate, in regards to bitcoin, it's not an accurate descriptor of the market as a whole

so his analogy regarding tulips is more accurate than not...
 
Just bought VeCHain at $5.80, hopefully the dip stops here.


edit:
bought a little bit more when it hit $5.65

Krugman's take:

This will end badly...........

Interesting factoid in column:
And while most of us can go years without seeing a $100 bill, there are a lot of those bills out there — more than a trillion dollars’ worth, accounting for 78 percent of the value of U.S. currency in circulation.

A lot of the same old arguments, not very original writing, without much substance.

No intrinsic value like the dollar. Tell that to people in Zimbabwe or Venzuela where hyperinflation took over.

Anonymous Bitcoin is the reason it is most used...Bitcoin is not very anonymous, pretty easily tracked.

$100 dollar bills aren't seen often and aren't very usable. Terrible analogy and I see $100 bills often at grocery stores, malls, etc. Sorry the local Quick Stop may not take them.

Can you explain to me why you like this coin? I was reading their site and got lost with sharding.

Did a small amount of research and from what I gather they want to be the Internet of services. I like the idea but so far I’m not seeing how the coin solves a problem or how it holds value.

Volc would you comment? We’d love to hear your view on it.

I recommend getting in and buying just to learn the lingo and what it’s about. I paid to go to school and look at this the same way. I’m not trying to get rich, I’m just learning the process and the tools at a cost.

I’m in for hundreds of dollars, not thousands. I bet more on the craps tables in Vegas last week. :laughing

Educate yourself through experience instead of only second hand info.

it's acutally why I am involved with GarlicCoin

https://garlicoin.io/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/garlicoin/
https://www.reddit.com/r/garlicoin/

it was created as a joke on reddit but I followed the whole development and everything. Watched the dev of it and the release. It's been neat and a crazy learning experience.

I work in distributed systems, and the design behind IOST is pretty damn solid - so that's a big plus in my book. Along with the fact that like VEN, and NEO, there's already products being deployed on their blockchain in China, Japan that seem legit.

VEN, IOST, NEO, and ETH are my long term HODLs.
 
Jesus, GBTC (Ethereum BTC tracker) split 91 for 1. The high was around 38 adjusted in late Dec., and it's down 17% today at 12.95. Ouch. Glad I got in and out.
 
Finally hitting the real support. Hopeful this is bot but 8k is the true test.

Tether news may screw anyone underwater right now.

Speaking of which, anyone got a spare can of air for my ltc?
 
Why is 8k the true test? Psychologically, 10k was the big test and the market seems to have made its decision. From technicals alone, that ~7500 mark is fairly weak support. I'd be looking to limit losses at this point.
