Sometimes people forget that real world adoption matters - this video of Nano being accepted at a New York business reminds me of the early days of Bitcoin
Here are some highlights from the Nano meetup at Affy's Premium Grill in Brooklyn, New York! They asked the store manager why they accept Nano, and they also received live donations from all over the world (Germany, Italy, Norway, Texas). That's the power of decentralized, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOlRZd_MmgQ&hd=1Don't just hodl, spend! Remember the Bitcoin Pizza though, and always buy and replace ;)

Warning: Do not hold Chainlink long term
I'm a developer and I looked over the Chainlink white paper and documentation, as well as the blog post by Google. Here's a few reasons I would not use Chainlink for my own apps:The current "mainnet" is not decentralized. there's no way to decentrally assess if an oracle is any good or not.It took them 2 years to basically build centralized oracles, which is extremely unimpressive (and already exists). I do not have much hope for the future or the competency of their engineers.The white paper doesn't coherently describe how they plan on making their centralized design decentralized one day. They broadly go over their "decentralized" reputation strategies as if creating sybil resistant decentralized reputation is something of an afterthought, when it's actually an unsolved computer science problem. They've had 2-3 years and 30mil in funding to actually publish technical specifications for this and instead they decided to build trivial centralized oracles. Extremely worrying. It kind of reminds me of IOTA "we'll remove the coordinator later". No you won't. You don't know how.News outlet and journalists keep reporting on "partnerships" with Google and Swift. But if you actually read the source for the "partnership", it's just a blog post by Google Cloud that promotes their own service (BigQuery) and shows an example about how Chainlink users can use Google Cloud if they want. In no way is Google partnered or planning on using Chainlink themselves. The Chainlink codebase is extremely trivial to rebuild if Google wanted to get into the blockchain oracle space.While there's certainly profits to be made by trading Chainlink, I recommend you do not HODL it with the hope that one day developers will adopt it as their source for decentralized oracles. That certainly won't happen.

Ethplode token is a scam! (Warning)
Watch out with Ethplode (copy of BOMB token)I joined their ref program a while back to get some free tokens because I thought it wouldnt hurt to sign up for some free tokens.They also had a ref program available that gave a small reward when you promoted the link they gave you.I gave that link to my friends and they were nice enough to sign up. Sweet, I thought I was getting some free tokens. Couldnt hurt to try right?Few days later I check the waller and they removed all my referrals and reset my balance to 0.I got curious and went to their Telegram chat.After asking why my referrals were removed the admin explained that I was signing up fake users, he laughed and banned me from their Telegram chat.Impossible because the referrals were all real people that I know personally. How the hell are they fake?This is just a small warning for people that are searching for reviews for Ethplode. Ethplode is a scam and you shouldnt bother with their crap. All reviews about Ethplode are paid for.To see more proof just check their Reddit page:/r/ETHplodeThese upvotes and comments are ALL bought with ethplode tokens.Nice vote manipulation!

Nano questions from a bitcoin maximalist
I believe currency, especially global decentralized ones, is a winner take all. There's an opportunity cost to holding two currencies. I can't have my maximal purchasing power in both, as one will be weaker. The only way for nano to succeed is to convince regular people to adopt it. And the best way to get regular people to adopt it, en masse, is to convince Bitcoin holders to give up their coins and switch. As of right now I'm not convinced.Here are my options1)Fiat Pros: accepted everywhere around me. Transactions are instant for their purposes Cons: inflation Robs me of purchasing power2)Bitcoin Pros: can't debase it, so it's a better store of their purchasing power, when used to save (long term) than Fiat since governments can't stop their printing machines. Has the largest cryptocurrency network (really big) with the most liquidity in it so you can spend it at placesCons: At places where I can't use Bitcoin I can Sell Bitcoin easily and still have increased/not decreased my purchasing power over Fiat. Transaction fees, but I have saved money overall because my currency hasn't been debased.3)Nano Pros: instant and free transactions Cons: abysmal adoption. What's the point of no fee transactions when I can't find anyone to spend it on? Why would I save in nano when I can save in a better currency and have more purchasing power? The nano:btc ratio doesn't bode well with me and I would be losing purchasing power switching over, with no one to transact with at the end. Sure I can sell nano for Fiat when needed but that's a waste of exchange fees and I should've just stayed in Fiat. Also I would've gotten more Fiat if I had stayed in bitcoinFor the average person, there's no real urgency to buy nano. Is there something I can only buy with nano that I want? With Bitcoin, a person can understand the need for a safe store of value that won't be debased by a government. Nano can't be debased as well, but you'll be be losing purchasing power compared to Bitcoin that offsets any fees.Onto the actual technology, I have some questions and concerns:Free and instant means everyone in the world can send to themselves infinite times. Transaction flooding is simply sending as many valid transactions as possible in order to saturate the network. Usually an attacker will send transactions to other accounts they control so it can be continued indefinitely.. The attack is rated moderate. Defense is a pow that doesn't adjust? Because if it did then people won't be able to send if an attacker raises the proof of work. Who's the authority of what is spam? What if a business needs to make infinite transactions to their internal wallets. It's free right? And their solution only involves pruned nodes. Not full nodes which is needed to make the system trustless. Don't give me buzzwords like v20 is coming out. Tell me exactly how free and instant can work without bloating the requirements to run a full non pruned node. If this would be the world currency, if it advertised free transactions then people would utilize that feature.I don't think nano has true finality that Bitcoin offers. https://ift.tt/2KJeFQ9 If I'm understanding this right, it depends on who your representative is and they get to choose the right chain based on their percentage of the total supply. What if people lose their coins and it comes to a situation where we can't have someone decide? The software can be changed to lower the threshold right? But what if someone miraculously found their coins and voted on another history of the chain.If I'm understanding correctly, if there's no conflicts then consensus is fast. But in the future if everyone on Earth can make many free and instant double transactions, how will one know which one is the final chain?Also it seems like sometimes a minimum of 21% is needed to reach consensus because not all nodes will be online to vote with. A node treats a transaction as confirmed only if the number of votes of the send block is over the "confirmation quorum" of 50% from the voting weight of the representatives which are online (with a minimum of 45% from the maximum voting weight - 133 millions), so at the minimum, a transaction is confirmed with 22% from the maximum voting weight (133 millions).What... I like how Bitcoin has 100% consensus when confirmed in a block. 22% consensus is like a Bitcoin 0 confirmation. The threshold can be set by the user, but doesn't that mean there could be a another history of the network?

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF CRYPTO TRADING: For Newcomers and Veterans alike
This is just a friendly reminder/advice for anyone new to crypto.Do your own research. No one here knows enough to be giving financial advice. Also learn how to spot scams from real projects.Not your keys, not your coins. This means if you leave your holdings on an exchange, it is susceptible to hacks and you can lose everything. Get a ledger/trezor and keep your crypto safe!Don’t disclose how much crypto you hold on here or anywhere.Dips and corrections happen, sometimes up to -40% in a day. Don’t get weak hands, hodl.The easiest way to invest stress free is to DCA (dollar cost averaging). Take a certain amount you are willing to lose from your paycheck and periodically and automatically invest, which leads to my next point:DON’T INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. People have literally lost homes, family and friends because of this. Be smart.Have an exit strategy ready. Typically you want to have an end goal in mind and know how to exit the market quickly and efficiently. This is especially important if you plan to ride “the big one”. The market can drop very quickly so have a plan.Don’t forget about taxes! In many countries, each trade is considered a taxable event. Make sure you record everything as to not get screwed later on.This is not a get rich quick scheme. This is a very young industry with plenty of time left to mature.99% of coins will fail. This is why it is so important to do your own research and take advice with a grain of salt (yes including this i guess).

A Warning On Common Scams (Google Docs, Pump and Dump, ICOs, Fake Partnerships, Volume/Transactions)
As the traffic across cryptocurrency subs starts to spike again, it's clear that there is an influx of both new and returning users. I wanted to take a few moments to highlight some of the most common scams in the crypto space to help keep you and your investment safe.While not all projects who fall into these categories are scams it is important to be aware of the issues and proceed with caution. Many legitimate projects can have frequent partnerships for example, but, its important to examine them closely.Google Docs/Surveys:One of the scams that commonly swoops up a number of victims is the common "help with this survey". Usually the attacker poses as student or someone doing research and asks a series of questions about your crypto holdings.There are two attack vectors here:Google docs can be connected to multiple Google apps and include things like Google App script which can be leverage in spam attacks, malicious redirects, or to trick you into downloading malware.Google Forms, which is used for surveys, has the ability to let the admin check the box "collect user emails" on their survey. In this case, even without entering your email address Google Forms will provide the email address of any Google account you are actively logged into on Google, Gmail or in the Chrome Browser. This allows attackers to specifically identify you (possibly even your real identity) as well as use your email in future phishing attacks.To help prevent this type of attack on our subreddit, we don't allow Google Doc surveys, even from legitimate requesters. Surveys would need to be approved by moderators and use platforms that are non-email collecting and not connected to scripting apps (such as SurveyMonkey).Pump and Dump Groups:Are "Pump and Dump Groups" profitable? Yes.But, they are profitable for the people running them. Not for you.Pump and Dump groups (often branding themselves as professional crypto "signal" groups) claim that they have awesome "technical analysis" skills and will pick winners. They'll show you charts of all these great trades they've made.Many are free groups on Discord, but some will even ask users to pay (claiming this is what makes them "legitimate").The truth is, there is no insight that these groups have. They look for small market cap coins and buy in themselves. They then announce it to the pump group where everyone starts to buy in and the price skyrockets due to low liquidity. During this time the group admin sells their holdings.To those who got in early enough, a little bit of profit is made. But, their profit and the profit of the admin actually comes from the rest of the group who is stuck 'holding the bag'.To the rest of the group, its easy to feel "oh man that was a great call, if only I had got in earlier" and they repeat the process.Signals, insights and even TA are psuedo-science at best. If anyone had it figured out in a way that would work more than 51% of the time, the modern economy would be even more broken than it currently is.The best you can do is use actual trading signals as input on top of your own research to make investing decision and avoid shady pump and dump groups. (After all, if someone really unlocked the magical analysis to help make 30%+ returns on all of their trades, why the hell would they need your $100 to share their signals? They'd be too busy sipping Mai-Thai's on their private yacht!)ICOs:Are some ICOs legitimate? Yes.Are most ICOs legitimate? No.Most ICOs have no product, a team incapable of building the product their pitching, and are proposing to build something that industry doesn't even need.But, unless you are an expert in that industry, or an experienced venture capital/private equity investor you likely don't have the skillsets to evaluate those gaps.So ICOs make flashy websites, name drop the places where all their talented engineers used to work (likely as interns) and do whatever they can to convince you to buy their token.It's far too easy to make those sites, last year, someone even made an AI driven parody website that shows you how easy it is to generate ICO sites. (https://ift.tt/2XhlG1d - every time the page is reloaded it is a new fake ICO).Even ICO rating services are all "pay-to-play" and should be ignored.In a world with IEOs and Token Sale Management tools, there are very few (some - but, very few) valid reasons to do an ICO.IEOs don't guarantee a project is any more legitimate, especially on some lower tier exchanges, but at least their is an additional level of vetting.ICOs were sketchy to begin with, but, given they are no longer the standard distribution method in the industry you should be even more skeptical of them.Fake Partnerships:Some cryptocurrencies have the idea that if they just keep on appearing in the news you'll cave and buy them and they can keep everyone happy.Reddit and Twitter are constantly inundated with cryptocurrencies claiming they have a 'big partnership' with 'brand x'.These usually equate to:One local division of the brand, had a low-to-mid level regional manager trial the blockchain product while the bulk of the company had no idea.The company is using a fork of the blockchain for their own private stuff which will never impact the public price.The blockchain got into an incubator or accelerator program run by that company.The blockchain competed in a startup contest or tech contest with or by that company.The blockchain is a customer of that company. (i.e. We run on Amazon AWS, therefore we list Amazon as a partner for helping to provide security to our nodes!).You should be skeptical when projects produce frequent partnership announcements.On our sub, we only allow partnerships that are announced via the official company website and not via third-parties or the blockchain projects site/community. This helps to curb a small portion of these issues, but, you still need to do your own research in-depth to understand the nature of these partnerships.Volume/Transactions:The last major common scam is volume/transactions.Many projects like to "paint the tape" and "wash trade" which are methods of manipulating the trades of their token to look like there are lots of buyers and sellers at an increasingly high-price, when in actuality there are very few. Many exchanges are complicit in this because they feel the higher volume makes them look legitimate as well.Do not rely on steady price increase, or high-volume to tell you if a project is legitimate, especially when it is only highly traded on low tier exchanges or if all of its volume is highly concentrated to specific exchanges.The other volume issue is transactions. Blockchain projects love to brag about the number of transactions they do per day, the number of wallets they have or the number of tx/s they can process.At the end of the day, any project worth their weight in salt can write a script to spam transactions to the network at almost no loss, and they can mass produce wallets quite easily.Plus, since every blockchain processes "transactions/operations" differently it's extremely hard to compare these directly.Many projects will claim that this is mass adoption, or that they clearly have the highest user base or most real world use cases because of these results. You should always take them with a grain of salt and do further research.When projects are truly the most-used, or biggest in their field they don't brag about it, because they don't need to. They have become the de facto representative of that industry. If someone is telling you they are the best, the most used, etc it is usually puffery designed to bolster their position.

Vechain just passed Ethereum on Blocktivity.
Vechain now has more enterprise usage on chain than Ethereum. This is adoption. Keep in mind tomorrow it will fall back down again, due to it being a weekend, but should continue its growth on Monday. This is incredibly exciting for the entire space. Real world usage is what were seeing.

Just checked /r/Bitcoin, no mention of high transaction fees or 95k unconfirmed transactions (few hours ago)
Whole first page of /r/Bitcoin is filled with price pump topics, some guy even dreaming about 330k$ Bitcoin inside one year. It's unimaginable how badly would the Bitcoin network congest on such prices if it cannot withstand current hype and transaction volume. The fact is that Bitcoin is no where near ready for mass adoption and whoever thinks this BTC run vs "shitcoins" is gonna last much longer is gonna get a reality check pretty soon. There are blockchains which can scale with instant speed and no fees, green and so on. Bitcoin is the first one and it showed us the light and we all love it. It's a good store of value since your funds are protected with a lot of hashing power but that's about it. P2p transaction market, m2m transaction market and smart contracts niche will need their own native platforms and they do exist and pretty much should not depend on Bitcoin at all.Oh yeah, r/Bitcoin are all about Bitcoin being "the most decentralized" argument, but it seems to me like it's a fact that CZ from Binance is not supporting Segwit and cheaper transaction because of his close ties with Bitmain (most hash rate on Bitcoin), who is also not supporting it and rather has it congested with high fees as it is to milk more money from the users. Those are 2 people manipulating the whole Bitcoin blockchain because of their own personal gains, that's how decentralized Bitcoin is today.

I had 10 Bitcoin in 2013 - now I have 1. Lesson for alt coin buyers
So when I tell people that I have owned Bitcoin since 2013, most assume that I am rich. I don't come from a rich or even middle class family, so I didn't have that much to invest (my industry also was replaced by technology). I did take basically every extra money I had and put it into stocks from 2011-2014. It was because of my connection to stocks that I learned about bitcoin. I read everyday as bitcoin went from $150 to $250 to $350. At around $600 I made the decision to invest. but by the time I got setup with coinbase BTC was over $1000. It was because of Cameron Winklevoss that I bought in. He said that he though Bitcoin would one day get up to $40,000. And I'm like...ok. So not knowing ANYTHING about Bitcoin other than buzzwords like"its the future" I bought 10 bitcoin. My wife was 100% against it. Which was understandable since we didn't have floors in our house.No I'm not kidding. I had 5 figures in stocks while we lived in a house with just plywood floors because I knew that stocks were a better investment than floors. Plus carpet was not possible because I have bad allergies and hardwood floors were going to cost 10k+It didn't help when I (thought) I bought Bitcoin at the worst possible time. I watched as it went from $1000 to $400 to $150 over the next few years. I did not buy more because of my wife.Rule #1 - Do not listen to your wife when it comes to investment decisions. Women are (generally speaking) not risk takers and will usually side with being cautious. They mean well and sometimes a little caution is necessary. But nothing great has ever been achieved being cautious. Not buying more Bitcoin when it was $150-$300 is the worst financial decision I've ever made.Because Bitcoin was dropping, and I knew so much more about cryptocurrency after a few years, I decided to sell most of my Bitcoin into alt coins. Specifically Peer Coin. Peercoin was the FIRST Proof Of Stake coin. Many of the POS models are based off of Peer Coin. I believed that Bitcoin would eventually be unsustainable due to the massive amounts of electricity and Peercoin would solve that issue. I bought Peer Coin at about 50 cents and years later sold it for $4. I had made a sound investment! The problem is in holding my money in Peer Coin I lost 6 BTC. BTC out performed Peer Coin.When Bitcoin hit $1000 again I sold my Peer Coin into Bitcoin and when Bitcoin ran up to $4000 I sold most of it. I then watched as it climbed to $11,000! I got back in but THIS TIME I COULD ONLY AFFORD JUST OVER 1 BTC. I was ecstatic when it hit 25K and then watched as it went down to 4k again.So where as I should have had 10 Bitcoin, because of fear, impatience, and trying to find coins to BEAT Bitcoin I now only have just over 1.Rule #2. Alts will hurt your feelings...mostly Keep most of your money in Bitcoin or possibly Ethereum and less money in Alts THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD ADOPTION.Most Alts over value themselves during ICOs. You have the least amount of information and the most amount of hype. You are so early in the game that you can afford to wait until something is proven. For example Vechain has more adoption now than ever but its price is lower than when I bought it 2 years ago. Now might be a time to consider buying, because things have already started to happen.My experiences have also taught me to buy bitcoin in monthly installments. So every month I take whatever spare money I have and I divide it into the projects I'm invested in with Bitcoin getting the most share. Because of that I am hugely profitableRule #3 Buy bitcoin and other coins that are already seeing ADOPTION every month and don't get caught in the day to day price. Many people are freaking out about Bitcoin being down $2000 in the last 24 hours. I actually WANT bitcoin to be down because that means I can buy more. I KNOW that bitcoin will continue to rise in the future as there is more adoption. My wife is now 100% on board because she understands it now.Its a long journey, and you are STILL early. People STILL don't know about bitcoin and far less use it. There is no need to put your hard earned money into some project that MIGHT do something. Let them prove themselves first.*As I type this I see that Peer Coin is now $0.42. Less than what I paid 6 years ago.

ChainLink - Coinbase - Staking - Speculation
Hello there,What you will find below is pure speculation, but i find it highly probable considering Chainlink and Coinbase respective goals. Let me know if you have any other point to raise.In the coming months, COINBASE will start selling massive amounts of financial data by creating Chainlink nodes. This will completely disrupt the Finance sector and boost the overall blockchain ecosystem by allowing all public and private blockchains to use real world data in their smart contracts.https://i.redd.it/opzc1liwiw631.pngWhat we knowAs you all know, COINBASE PRO just added CHAINLINK to its list of traded tokens : https://ift.tt/2ZWz4on is a decentralized Oracles system that allows smart contract to use real world data in order to fuel the smart contract economy. Chainlink is partnered with a lot of huge corporations (Oracle, SWIFT), Tech companies (Google) and Blockchain companies (V System, Harmony, Dapps...)COINBASE aims at becoming one of the leading Staking-as-a-Service provider - we've already seen what happened to Cosmos since Coinbase announcement to allow end users to stake their tokens directly through the Coinbase walletSTAKING LINKS will be available in the coming months. As you may not know, staking LINKS is not like staking ETH or COSMOS. It can be way more lucrative since we're actually using LINKS as a collateral to 'sell' data to smart contracts. These smart contracts having potentially a lot of underlying value (think about a single Millions dollars derivatives - now think about millions of derivatives, stocks...), smart contract users will require Nodes to STAKE a LOT of LINKS to trust them enough, in order to automatically feed their smart contracts with real world data.Finance is the first sector that will be disrupted by Blockchain Technology. This is what we call 'Decentralized Finance' (DEFI). BUT, What currently lacks to smart contracts is the ability to retreive offchain rates like EURIBOR, EONIA, FIAT to FIAT rates, stocks prices, or any other financial indicator used by derivatives and stocks marketshttps://i.redd.it/da9knx0klw631.pngConclusionsLINK will also be added to COINBASE in a near future, like anyother crypto added to coinbase pro firstCOINBASE will offer STAKING as a Service for LINKS Holders through their Coinbase walletCOINBASE will create a CHAINLINK NODE and start selling their financial data (FIAT/CRYPTO and CRYPTO/CRYPTO) to smart contracts providers (MKR, DHARMA, Compound, and all the DeFi projects waiting for ORACLES). Coinbase will become a direct competitor to Bloomberg or ReutersWe will be able to STAKE our tokens in COINBASE NODE to share their revenues, which will be HUGE as it will be the only trustless bridge to the real financial world !!!In my opinion, this is going to happen in the coming months as it's both in the interest of CHAINLINK and COINBASE. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST REAL STEP TOWARD A FULLY DECENTRALIZED FINANCE !!!

The retail investor community has the memory and logic of a literal goldfish.
It has been just under three years since I've joined the subreddit, and just over three years since I started being interested in cryptocurrency. After countless hours of research on the various industries being disrupted, after reading whitepapers, parsing through the profile of team members, watching recorded conferences and making calculations based on demand and market size, I can write with full confidence that the overwhelming majority of the community of crypto investors is retarded. Never have I seen a market that is less focused on growth objectives, or that circlejerks harder to news and announcements whose impact they don't even try to measure or fully understand.In all honesty, it's not that surprising. The tech itself is more or less difficult to understand (anyone with an engineering, computer science, economics or finance background should be able to grasp the underlying concepts and realize why distributed ledgers have vale, despite not being familiar with every key concept) but the extremely hard part is picturing exactly how efficiencies are bound to be created on an industrial level, and how impactful they will be. In other markets, this is why there exist ratings, panels of experts, consulting groups. They perpetually gauge the health of various industries and make predictions based on trends, to help others make informed decisions. Even then, a layer of speculation (and thus, manipulation) always exists, but the ratio of speculation vs. real demand tends to be in a different league entirely.Despite knowing or suspecting this, however, the same shit happens every time here. Bitcoin starts to drop, and the trolls come out of the woods to spread their depressive thoughts onto everyone else. Altcoins start to shine, and the morons who bought during the frenzy and are seeing 10% gains for the first time in weeks, months, if not ever, start tugging each other and patting themselves in the back and writing essays as to why DPoS experiment #898 (which doesn't even have a main net yet) is on track to being massively adopted and is definitely the best buy opportunity of the decade. Bitcoin starts to rise again, and suddenly all money floods from the rest of the market to feed Big Daddy and every single other project is a shitcoin again and they'll never amount to anything ever.It is beyond frustrating to see how easily everyone is being manipulated. Short-term fluctuations in the market doesn't make you right, and it doesn't make you wrong either. There are basically zero candid discussions on the state of the technology and how it stands relative to adoption. There are basically zero attempts to map out the ecosystem in a comprehensive way so that 'investors' can have a clear picture of how some projects might interact with each other, allowing us to formulate enlightened guesses as to how much market share each might capture. Nobody seems to give a shit about decentralization at all, but I suspect for the vast majority, it was never about freedom and fairness, only profits.Everybody strictly only celebrates when the market moves up without ever questioning the validity of that movement. When an asset inflates without any fundamental reason, its only achievement is the creation of a bubble that will inevitably result in severe losses for the majority of investors.With the size of this community (this subreddit alone), we have the power to warn others and to influence the market by infusing some rationality into it. So please, take the time to encourage others to look beyond immediate gains and to research the field. Take the time to criticize twitter "influencers". Take the time to reach out to professors, industry professionals and other knowledgeable experts to ask them their thoughts about specific projects and the market as a whole. We desperately need to create a global stage on which there is informed discourse, else this market will never truly grow.

Bitcoin is not the money fairy. It isn't a magic dollar printer (lol tether). Don't put yourself into debt on a gamble or investment. Ever. Markets are volatile. All your money can turn into nothing overnight at the hands of a few big players.That said. If you sell based on a few hours worth of price action, you're in the wrong market with those weak hands.BUY THE DIP.

Truth be told, this isnt the best entry point for no-coiners new to the sub to start buying into crypto for the first time so please exercise caution.
Remember the ATH's back in Dec 2017 and the way this sub ballooned in subscriptions.After the crash there were many that appeared to have made first investments in and around that period and were badly rekkt.Many posts were of quite bitter sentiment and resentment towards crypto afterwards.To be fair, no "be cautious" posts ever seemed to be upvoted. Lets admit it, when bags are pumping the last thing that will get upvoted is be careful if you're thinking about pumping them some more.So here's an attempt this time round, it will most likely gain little traction but its an attempt at least.The amount of money that has flowed in to crypto recently can just as quickly flow back out again, so please don't wind up getting caught out by the tide.Crypto is here forever so no need for FOMO, stay a while and have fun learning that's something that the market can never take away from you.

Everyone is talking about alt season
But how do you all know that we will have an alt season like the one we had in 2017 ever again? If we do, do you really think it will happen this early in the bull run (assuming a large bull run is really beginning)?I am not trying to spread FUD, I own alts, I want them to go nuts again. I do feel skeptical however. 2017 was a unique time, ICOs were brand new to the market and were making huge promises that we now know, many of them will be unable to keep. People are now significantly more skeptical as a result of it. In addition to this, the regulatory landscape has changed to prevent the scammy pump and dump market that was the last alt season. Also, Bitcoin was clocking new all time highs by the time last alt season really started. We haven’t even broken 20k yet.I’m not saying that we won’t have an alt season, but I would be careful of wishful thinking around here. There are a lot of us on here who want our alts to go back to their all time highs so that we can get off clean and have someone else buy our bags. Constantly talking about an impending alt season feels like a way to jump start this. Maybe it will work? I question it though.I guess this rant is to say: Alt season will probably come again in some way, but I wouldn’t listen to r/CryptoCurrency on when it will happen. DYOR, stick by the projects you believe in, maybe someday, you will profit!—a crypto veteran who has witnessed multiple booms and busts of the crypto market and hopes alt season is starting as much as the rest of you

Thomas Jefferson and Bitcoin
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [these banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power [of currency] should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” Thomas Jefferson“Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” Satoshi Nakamoto

Please argue for your choice. The less likely your answer is, the better should be the arguments. Therefore, please don’t just say “NEO, it’s Chinese Ethereum, and partnerships!”.

Is there a connection between tether printing $1.5 billion and BTC pumping to $11000
Tether few months back had admitted in court filling that it only has USD reserves to cover around 75% of usdt. In the months that have followed, tether printer is working overtime, printing more than $1.5 billion in USDT.Meanwhile Bitcoin has seen random (?) Pumps breaking $11000. Like clockwork the crypto space is back to posting hodl memes.Do you guys think we are due for a crash in coming months ? According to me The cycle of late 2017 is repeating before us.A theory I have is that, once btc starts crashing, people will move to usdt, which might be the reason someone is pumping it. A word of caution from me, don't hodl usdt in coming months, there are enough stable coins right now. If usdt is shut down by the government, you are essentially holding useless tokens.

You can make 10 ETH by finding a good hire for FUEL GAMES
I'm a big fan of Ethereum and of the Gods Unchained project. The company behind this game is Fuel Games from Australia. They are creating the first actual trading card game (TCG), using unique assets tracked on Ethereum. The game is playable right now in beta. The team seems to be delivering, and it is backed by heavy-pocket investors: http://bit.ly/2X3ywQv are hiring for multiple positions: http://bit.ly/2J3NGeH here’s my tip... Anyone can make some easy money if they find someone that will end up getting hired by the company. They've promised it in this blog article: http://bit.ly/2WYqvwd quote them:For the next 60 days, if you recommend someone who we end up hiring we’ll send you 10 ETH.The date was June 10, 2019. 10 ETH is a lot of money right now, and in one year I expect it to be even more (but let’s not focus on my optimism here). Good luck to whoever might be recommending them a hire! Get those 10 ETH.

What would have happened if you had invested into the 12 coins recommended in the August 18, 2018 article: "To the Moon! 7 Crypto Experts Pick Their Top Moonshot Coins"
I won't link the article but you can google it (published by investinblockchain.com). Just a bit of fun - lets say we invested $10,000 into each of the 12 coins recommended in this article to see how "expert" the recommendations really were, and compare it to a $120,000 investment in bitcoin on the same date.My prices below are comparing August 18, 2018 from yesterday's prices (some have already fallen a lot more). Let's have a look at these gems!1) Request Network: -49%2) Oyster Pearl: -100% (I think the coin is completely dead)3) Kucoin Shares: +25%4) Maker: +75%5) Lux: -71%6) Espers: -34%7) Ren: +150% (hats off to this one, credit where credit is due)8) Original Trail: -55%9) Loom: -18.6%10) Neo: -6.2%11) TheKey: -50%12) Walton Chain: -43%All in, based on my calculations your total of $120,000 would have been reduced to $99,860. Now, had you invested in bitcoin over the same period you would have a very nice $201,000 - plus no hassles with dodgy exchanges, low liquidity, wallet hacks etc.The purpose of this post is to remind us to be very wary of all the "experts pick their top x coins for huge returns", the bad moonshots will often wipe out your gains from the good moonshots, and that even the best "expert" will struggle, on average, to predict returns in a highly unpredictable market.

Is crypto your main hobby?
I don't know about you all, but crypto might be my main interest/hobby. Sure I like other things (sports, reading, gaming), but there's nothing I like more than learning more about this space. For me, Bitcoin is what gets me excited (though I do have alts). For many of you, I know it's a different coin.How often does crypto invade your mindspace? Not in terms of price and getting rich, but in the potential of making the world a better place and protecting personal freedoms.A lot of the stuff I read on this sub annoys me, a lot sometimes. But we are all linked by this interest and hobby that has possibly changed our lives.

Yesterday I was the first person to spend Bitcoin at Birks Jewelery!
Birk's, Canada's high end jeweler, announced last year that they would be accepting crypto. As I'm not allergic to spending BTC, I'd considered trying it occasionally but spending coins while they were at 5k wasn't appealing. With the current run and my wife's birthday coming, this made for a fun experiment.The sales associates were very excited someone was trying it as they told me about the training they received months ago to handle Bitcoin. There was a hiccup as I had to move my coins to a compatible wallet but then the staff all gathered around while I completed the transaction through bitpay. It took 10 minutes for a block to confirm and for me to get my receipt.The result!

I fucking love you guys.
Crypto currency changed my life. With a 50k investment in Jan 2017, my ATH was almost 1.4MM. I managed to cash out about 600k over the past two years, with now about 90k currently invested (low point was 30k).The money changed my life in a lot of ways. Student debt, GONE. CC debt, cleared. Paid off my condo free and clear, and spent 3 months traveling the world (I run an independent wedding photography company with my friend, who was cool with me taking a break since I haven't vacationed in like 5 years prior to that). Gave my parents 50k spending money, and diversified 100k into various stocks and other investments.I can't be thankful enough. This past year, the days have been dark, when I hit the 30k low I thought it was all over, but now I feel like it's Jan 2017 all over again. I can feel the energy in the air.But what I really wanted to say was that this has been an amazing ride. The highs and the lows have been crazy, but I've never laughed so hard at all the memes, and all the people from all over the world who got into crypto for a chance at a better life. It's really an amazing and hilarious community of people who think outside the box.Good luck guys, maybe one day I'll make enough to actually buy some ridiculous stuff like a lambo

How to take profits?
I've been around here for two years, and saw my modest but diversified portfolio of 30 or so (!) alts go 8x during the bull market of late 2017. I'm fairly disciplined so I stuck to my strategy of holding through the entire crypto winter, and even bought in the firesale through the first half of it until I ran out of fiat. But in retrospect I should have taken some profits on the way up, as it would have made the ride much less stressful, and I'd have some tangible benefit from investing (speculating) in crypto.Fingers crossed we'll see a new ATHs someday. If that happens, this time I want to be prepared.There is plenty of research out there for how to buy, cost and value averaging being some of the most robust strategies. But I haven't found any research on how to take profits, without hurting future gains too much.So now I'm thinking of just taking a fraction of my portfolio whenever it goes up by 1x. For example, with a portfolio's starting value of 1000, I'd take 10% of it's current value. So take 200 out when the portfolio goes to 2000, take out 300 when it reaches 3000, etc.What profit taking methods are people utilizing in their strategy?

I'm from India, and it has become insanely difficult to purchase crypto. Please help!!!
Okay where do I start.Basically I got into crypto from October 2017 and to be honest a bought Bitcoin and Ethereum at all time highs. I didn't get perturbed by the falls and kept adding whenever I had surplus funds to deploy.What has changed over the last 6 months is that unless I know someone who has crypto, I cannot buy from absolutely anywhere.All the international transactions are blocked by my goverment to crypto.The local exchanges are barred from dealing with Local Fiat currency.My banks have sent me letters warning me to not buy cryptoTwo of my bank accounts were shut down and the balance cheque sent to my home.P2P system on some local websites have completly shut down as there are no sellers in sight as most people have shifted crypto in paper wallets, hardware wallets or overseas exchanges.Goverment is continuously asking people to offload crypto or face JAIL.The economic advisor even said that buying crypto is COUNTERFEITING FOREIGN CURRENCYA bill has prepared to be presented and sealed on 7th of July to buy, hold or mine crypto as a criminal offence with Non-Bailable offence and 10 years jail term plus fines.Earlier I could sell my stock expertise in exchange for crypto but now people have finished that too and even dumped all their stacks or hidden away on paper wallets.The local payment banking system or UPI or NEFT or international transaction have become absolutely difficult. There was down servers everyday, Cash machines now run dry almost daily. Cash machines getting shut down.To deposit cash, we need to gives 3 identification cards, to send money abroad, just forget it. It's becoming next to impossible.I lost nearly 2000 dollars buying eth at the top. And sadly, I can't even buy crypto to avg my holdings.I have tried koinex, local bitcoins etc. The wait times for P2P has become nearly 6 months. I am having deposit request dating back to january to local exchanges but no sellers..This is getting insanely tough.Oh and I forgot. We can't redeem into Fiat if we ever wanted to unless someone pays is via P2P.Not to mention we can buy crypto right now at 25% discount.

What is the best way to begin programming for crypto apps?
I realize this is a broad question. I don't know what I want to do yet, but I see crypto as the future and I want to get ahead of the game, by developing and not just HODLing.There is a famous youtuber (Ivan on Tech) that sells courses tailored to crypto, but I can't afford them. I took a college C++ course many years ago, but I feel that is probably going to take too much time and be bloated with coursework that may be unnecessary. It looks like I need a basic foundation of a lot of different things according to Ivan: C++, Javascript, smart contracts, Solidity, Move (Libra's new language) among others if I want to develop on the web.Can someone point a beginner like me in the direction of some free/cheap resources that won't take years to learn and won't have a lot of irrelevant information like college courses tend to pack in? I know I will need to put in a lot of work, but just trying to do it the most efficient way possible. Thanks.

Facebook is not here to help the little people
Facebook is here to extort you for your data and keep you dumb and broke. Crypto open source chain is here to transfer atleast 30% of global wealth to the unfortunate.Libra is here to make sure that transfer doesnt happenWhy do they need KYC for transactions and keep my data on their blockchain? 0 fees, Well of course there arent any fees bc your selling my fucking data to every goddamn company thus leading to Ai bots to feed me marketing tactics to negate my mind at any point in time I use my phone to buy pointless ass shit that doesnt last.They make ads ridiculing you if you don’t use their social networks. They create a social norm that generates a new norm thats neither good nor terrible. Creating this norm and damn near monopolistic attitude toward your own data is forcing your hand and not providing you a choice. Which is just flat out wrong but that is where the world is going with tech it seemsThey own your social data to categorize you,They are attempting to own your financial data in order to own you.HELL they’re even using PBFT where their code is copy pasta from other projects. (BFT has been around for a long time, it is the fastest for transactions. My personal favorite is aBFT)In the end their project may succeed because the masses truly don’t care and that is perfectly fine. Gotta love the crypto market and how it will turn out for the next half year. The future is lack of choice.http://bit.ly/2FfpKDS

The company also has branches in Belgium and the Netherlands, and representation offices in the UK and Poland.In 2018, SIA managed 14 billion institutional services transactions, 7.2 billion card transactions, 3 billion payments, 51.7 billion financial transactions and carried 1,204 terabytes of data on the network.SIA supported the launch of the new Samsung Pay payment system, and also Alipay and WeChat Pay payment service were activated. Furthermore, the offering of terminals has been enriched with the Android-based smartPOS line, making value-added services available to consumers and merchants.In 2018, SIA confirmed its role as key technology partner to the London Stock Exchange Group and at the end of 2018, 44 trading venues operating in Europe and the United States were connected to SIA’s “Financial Ring” which enables financial intermediaries to access, via a single high-speed, low-latency network infrastructure, the main international stock markets using date centers in Milan, Rome, London, Frankfurt, and New York.http://bit.ly/2MTrGZc Alternative to SWIFTThe Eurosystem (compromises of the European Central Bank (ECB) and 19 National Central banks that are using the Euro such as the central banks of Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland etc.) operates the financial market infrastructure for the settlement of payments (TARGET2), TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) and securities (TARGET2-Securities, or T2S). These platforms form the backbone of the European financial market.All European Financial institutions will connect to these services only via the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG). The single connectivity gateway to all Target services would provide a simpler and more efficient means to access the key market infrastructures as part of the Eurosystem’s “2020 Vision” strategic plan for the evolution of market infrastructures.SIA, in partnership with Colt Technology Services, (who were acquired by Fidelity Investments — One of the largest asset managers in the world with $2.46 trillion), has won a 10 year tender commissioned by the European Central Bank for the provisioning of connectivity services allowing European central and commercial banks, central depositories, automated clearing houses and other payment service providers to connect directly to Eurosystem market infrastructures through a single access interface (Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway — ESMIG).“We’re particularly proud to have been chosen, in partnership with Colt, as one of the two Network Service Providers for Eurosystem market infrastructures. It represents a prestigious result for technology ‘Made in Italy’ and confirms SIA’s significant ability to compete at international level, also strengthening our role as an innovative partner of central and commercial banks. This award for ESMIG is very important because, for the first time in Europe, all financial institutions have the chance to select the best technological solution in a framework of free competition with considerable benefits in terms of costs and efficiency, and contributes to strengthening cybersecurity and the resilience of strategically important systems”, commented Nicola Cordone, SIA’s Chief Executive Officer.Paula Cogan, VP of Enterprise and Capital Markets at Colt, comments: “The awarding of the ESMIG tender, seven years after the establishment of the partnership between Colt and SIA, represents a really important milestone for both companies. We are pleased to underpin the infrastructure evolution envisaged by the “Vision 2020” program by providing connectivity and messaging solutions for the fully managed T2S platform. Colt’s network offers high levels of performance, scalability and guaranteed service levels which is why we are the chosen provider for over 650 financial institutions globally, including 18 of the 25 largest banks, more than 50 stock exchanges and 13 European central banks”.http://bit.ly/2WSmzNl is hugely significant. Every European Financial institution will either connect via SIA, in partnership with Colt or via SWIFT (and in many cases they will have connectivity with both) in order to access the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway, granting access to all RTGS, Securities and Instant Payment transactions for Europe.SIA operates a private closed network and Overledger is being integrated into their private network via SIAChain to enable Blockchain interoperability for every connected European Financial Institution immediately, and all they need to do to start using Overledger is add 3 lines of code.SIAChainSIAChain is not a blockchain itself. It is a private infrastructure covering Europe consisting of 570 supernodes within SIAnet. SIAChain was created by SIA to develop, in a secure and protected manner, innovative Blockchain applications based on Distributed Ledger Technology.SIAchain makes a series of business applications available to communities of registered, approved members (be they financial institutions, corporates or public administration bodies) in which transparency, confidentiality and security are guaranteed as shared rules. As part of this agreement, SIA will be making Overledger available to all of its 570 Banks / Central Banks / Trading venues to enable Blockchain Interoperability.SIAnet is the leading Financial Network in Europe with more than 100 Tier 1 banks connected, 30 Stock Exchanges / Trading Venues, covering the entire trading process from pre-trading to post-trading.http://bit.ly/2MRSd9a institutions don’t send transactions to each other over the public Internet. They operate in heavily regulated environments and require secure, performant private networks with 100% uptime. SIA provide a private network dedicated to Financial institutions, utilising 10 GBps high speed network with extremely low latency of 4ms across huge distances stretching over 186,000 kilometres. This provides a secure, stable network with Guaranteed SLA’s and 100% uptime to ensure transactions are received and in a timely manner, able to cope with huge volumes.http://bit.ly/2WQwyTz are hardware appliances deployed on SIA customers’ premise (or, at request, hosted on SIA Private Cloud) that runs different blockchain nodes such as Corda, Hyperledger and permissioned versions of Ethereum in parallel, with multiple dApps, allowing each customer to join or create Business Networks, each one solving a particular use case. There are currently around 570 supernodes deployed each representing a SIA Customer — Banks, Central Banks, Stock Exchanges etc.https://i.redd.it/eomsl09sn1531.pngSIA’s main value is the ability to verify that all Supernodes run the same version of software for both DLT clients and subscribed dApps. Moreover, SIA certifies every single dApp / MAPP provided by Communities and deployed on the platform to minimize security and interoperability issues and operates auxiliary services needed by some DLT (Notaries, Orderers, Oracles, etc.)The partnership aims to integrate Quant Network’s blockchain operating system Overledger into the SIAchaininfrastructure to enable interoperability, one of the biggest challenges and unmet needs faced by the financial industry to develop and implement blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology based applications spanning different technologies.https://i.redd.it/22cu1vatn1531.png“Since the European launch of our private infrastructure SIAchain, we are at the forefront of innovation in blockchain technology with the aim of supporting financial markets with a high-performance and secure architecture and a clear governance model. We actively continue on our path of innovation and the achievement of a fully interoperable blockchain network is the foremost objective we want to reach with the collaboration of Quant Network and its disruptive vision on DLT”, says Daniele Savarè, Innovation & Business Solutions Director, SIA.Banks need blockchain InteroperabilityTowards the end of 2017 SIA announced a Partnership with R3 a banking consortium utilising their Corda platform. Members of the consortium consist of banks such as Bank of America, Barclays, BBVA, BNP Paribas, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ING, Intesa Sanpaolo, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Bank, National Australia Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland, Scotiabank, Société Générale, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Toronto-Dominion Bank, U.S. Bancorp, UBS, UniCredit and Wells FargoThere are many other blockchains been utilised with Banks, such as JP Morgan’s Quorum which is a permissioned variant of Ethereum. JP Morgan’s Coin would require interoperability with other blockchains being used by Banks such as Corda and Hyperledger.Others include Fnality (previously known as Utility Settlement Coin) who are building tokenized versions of five major fiat currencies in partnership with Clearmatics who are utilising a private version of Ethereum. Banks involved were UBS, Banco Santander, Bank of New York Mellon, State Street, Credit Suisse, Barclays, HSBC Holdings and Deutsche Bank AG.As well as We.Trade consortium utilising Hyperledger Fabric and is currently in live production consisting of banks such as Deutsche Bank, HSBC, KBC, Natixis, Nordea, Rabobank, Santander, Societe Generale and UniCreditOverledger bringing blockchain interoperability immediately to all 570 Banks / Trading partnersThe really important thing to understand with this partnership is that SIA will be integrating Overledger into SIAChain. They already have built the network, deployed supernodes at all their customers sites and already have loads of banks using various blockchain applications. With this partnership they now can utilise Overledger to benefit from blockchain interoperability with just 3 lines of code and less than 8 minutes.Companies such as Ripple, Stellar etc have to take years rolling out their infrastructure / software to individually connect each bank. By SIA Integrating Overledger into SIAChain, all 570 banks / trading partners have access to Overledger instantly. It’s also a closed private network so its not like they can just integrate other solutions unless they have been integrated into SIAChain.The key is SIAnet and SIAChain is an existing financial infrastructure that already is used and interconnects 570 banks and financial institutions. The access and adoption is already there, all the banks are already connected and using the network. Difference is now, it has Overledger.It would have taken us 10+ years to onboard 570 banks one by one and build the infrastructure. This is where Ripple, Stellar (IBM) are stuck and adoption will take many years to individually connect each bank. We already have all of them connected now.Spunta BancaSIAchain was selected for the operational testing of the “Spunta Banca” project — coordinated by ABI Lab, the research and innovation center promoted by the Italian Banking Association — based on blockchain technology that involved 18 Italian banks performing a proof of concept with excellent results. This has now progressed to technical tests with 200 banks and 200 million data items for a year before going into production.http://bit.ly/2MTrFV8 a couple of days ago an update of the Agreement for the maintenance of reciprocal accounts between banks with regard to the interbank check was approved, this allows the development of the check process using Distributed ledger technology (DLT), starting from 1st March 2020. It is therefore a blockchain for banks operating in Italy.http://bit.ly/2WN9a9n Project funded by Horizon 2020FINSEC, (Integrated Framework for Predictive and Collaborative Security of Financial Infrastructures), is a flagship project which will develop, demonstrate and bring to market an integrated, intelligent, collaborative and predictive approach to the security of critical infrastructures in the financial sector. FINSEC will provide a blueprint for the next generation security systems for the critical infrastructures of the financial sector.http://bit.ly/2MVDytD FINSEC project will provide tools for stakeholders’ collaboration in the financial supply chain to leverage the results of the previous tasks, while supportin gassets modelling and interrelationships for financial services involving multiple participants, such as SWIFT network interactions.The blockchain will be established and will operate in a fully decentralized manner,i.e. it will not be under the control of any administrative entity. Nevertheless, each participating entity (e.g., a bank or another financial institution) will interface to the blockchain infrastructure through a ledger client application, which shall make use of a blockchain API enabling the execution of the chain code. The entire data sharing process will be driven by a data model: the latter will specify the subset of security information that will be shared by each blockchain participantWorking with the Central Bank of ItalySo what we’ve done is instead of just announcing one client and one thing, we’re announcing that we’re working with SIA. So, SIA is leading European payment infrastructure. And what we’re doing with SIA is interconnecting blockchain networks with SIA, and doing settlements, which are central bank settlements, with the central bank in Italy. So what Overledger is doing is we’re actually bringing blockchain and interoperability to all of SIA’s clients, which are 580 banks. So, Overledger could be rolled out to all these institutions, financial services, banks, at scale, and have interoperability to get the benefits of this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cNmGrLPoTo&t=7sGame Changer for Quant Network and for Blockchain Mass Adoption by Financial InstitutionsThis is a game changer for Quant, SIA are integrating Overledger into the leading financial private network in Europe enabling blockchain interoperability to all of its 570 Banks, Central Banks, Stock Exchanges, Trading venues etc immediately. Not having to spend years rolling our infrastructure / software, they can all benefit today.This number will only increase with the recent news that SIA, in partnership with Colt Technology Services, has won a 10 year tender commissioned by the European Central Bank for the provisioning of connectivity services allowing European central and commercial banks, central depositories, automated clearing houses and other payment service providers to connect directly to Eurosystem market infrastructures through a single access interface (Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway — ESMIG).To find out more about Quant Network and Overledger please see the links below.Part One — Blockchain FundamentalsPart Two — The Layers Of OverledgerPart Three — TrustTag and the Tokenisation of dataPart Four — Features Overledger provides to MAPPsPart Five — Creating the Standards for InteroperabilityPart Six — The Team behind Overledger and PartnersPart Seven — The QNT TokenPart Eight — Enabling Enterprise Mass AdoptionQuant Network — Enabling Mass Adoption of Blockchain at a Rapid Pace

Wall street are a bunch of hypocrites. Many talk about how Bitcoin and crypto in general is a bubble. That they are worthless digital coins, but when a publicly traded company announces a partnership with a cryptocurrency (Moneygram), or the creation of a coin (Facebook), their stock soars. 🤔🤔

Warning, IOST providing false information about their team
So I got banned from the IOST sub because I found out their supposedly 40/50+ member development team isn't there anymore as it used to be, the page disappeared from their website IOST.io and older information mentioned team members who now changed their first name on LinkedIn, and much worse: three of them don't even mention IOST in their past working experience at all!Be careful people, because these team member have been advertised as Microsoft and Uber employees, but if you check their LinkedIn page one of them seems to have been an Microsoft intern and the other one worked on a not so interesting Uber project, not the top curriculum vitae's you would expect, imo.As of now, the website still mentions 50+ team members, where is the proof? The only team members I found are about 5 persons, two of them have another company in China they run as well.Edit: being heavily downvoted by IOST fanboys(?), please provide me evidence of the 50+ actual team members including their LinkedIn and I will delete this post.
