It is maybe because their technology is not released yet and it will only be on Q4 of 2017. I am not sure if that is correct but that is what I have seen from the posts at their announcement thread. Also I do not get why most of the people relate the price of a coin to how successful the project is or will be. We saw that Ethereum went from $1 to $20 in a short time and it is now at around $11. That is high for altcoin standards but are they really successful? Success of a project or platform cannot be judged from what the market decides the price of a coin will be. We have not seen the Synereo technology stack in action yet.

XEM or NEM is the better choice because according to some of the posts I read in the NXT announcement thread, the developers are supportingthe  NXT code base for only one more year. After that all their energy will be focused in Ardor. So I believe XEM will do the job for grit45's video game project.

I did 7x and around 8x with Ripple and Ethereum respectively. I usually trade small amounts because I am still learning. Most of my trades are slightly losing because maybe I do not have the confidence to see the trades thru. But the Ripple and the Ethereum trades were done because I just followed some people in this forum. I know it is wrong to do so and that we should do our own research but there are some people here who are winners in trading.

This is weird. Is it not that Apple and Disney has some sort of corporate partnership or one owns a big chunk of the other? Why would Disney have interest in blockchain technology if there is not a good reason behind it? Maybe this could be the start of things to come for Apple and blockchain technology and is using Disney as a dummy to hide Apple's involvement. Is that a possible scenario?

This is the time when to decide to enter is. The chart says that Lisk is now oversold and any further sell off will now be not as much as before. On the development side of things they are taking their time to secure and stabilize the platform. That is good to see so that it will be better prepared when marketing starts next year. If there was a good time to get in, now would be the best time to observe and look for it.

@Rubberduckie. Yes it showing that Eddie is not afraid of Conor and that he could also put up a show himself. This is good for the promotion of the fight and good for the fans because we have entertainment while waiting for the day of the event to arrive. Eddie is also mocking Conor's cardio training because of what happened in Nate versus Conor 2. It was known that Conor worked very hard on his cardio in that fight but he still got gassed out.

This is from the article "Antshares partnership with Ali Cloud provides an enterprise-level use of blockchain technology to secure something that corporate offices engage in constantly: communication."

I thought that Antshares was a decentralized platform for digitalized real-world assets. I had no idea that it could be used as a means to secure communication. Or maybe I have misunderstood what they meant about using the word communication.

Jon Jones fighting in the heavy weight division could be one of the biggest news in UFC history after Conor fighting for the light weight championship. I wish Jones will do it after winning back the light heavy weight title from Cormier. Also the there is no challenge for Jones in light heavy weight so it is a good time for him to look for a new challenge.

I see in the news that Jones will be back earlier than anticipated.

@Rubberduckie. -220 for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series? Yes I agree that is a little high and with a implied probability of around 69%, it would make sense to bet on the Cubs every game if the odds permit. The 1st game has the Chicago Cubs at -112 in nitrogensports.eu.

I am very excited for this series to start tonight.

Is there a possibility that Conor's fight vs Eddie Alvarez will be the same when he fought Chad Mendes if Alvarez sticks with wrestling in the 1st to 3rd rounds? I am aware that Alvarez is also a good boxer according to some analysts but to box with Conor would be a big mistake because Conor is much faster and also much stronger than him standing up.

@vella85. It was truly a disappointing result. I was always rooting for the Dodgers to win it all this year. Considering everything, I am happy to see the Cubs have the chance to win the World Series. How long has it been since they have won it? Has it been decades long? That is a very long time for a team like them. Kinda like when the Celtics were the dominant force in the NBA a very long time ago. Thing thing that you would only read in the history books.

That is the point I am trying to make. I speculate that Ronda Rousey might not be fit mentally to fight a fighter of Nunes' caliber. Please consider Ronda's recent history. In her last fight there were some holes that were exposed in her game. She was not really that good and her skills were overhyped. When she lost versus Holly Holmes she was seriously affected mentally and quit. Now she is given a shot for the championship. The events are going too fast for her and she may not handle the pressure well.

There were comments somewhere that NXT will have one year of support and development left before their development team focuses 100% on Ardor. I do not know how true but this should be frowned upon. So what do the NXT whales do with their coins now that they also have Ardor coins too? Surely there is no more incentive in holding NXT anymore once it is abandoned.

Was it not mentioned before that Augur was a scam and that the founders knew that the idea will not work as intended? I have read an article about it somewhere and it was the creator of Hivemind that said it. It will not be surprising if the listing of Augur in the major alternative cryptocoin exchanges turns out to be another exit scam. For such a high price of the coin, they do not have a working platform that is used by many. XMR is a more sensible investment than this.

I am with you. I also believe that the only way to short sell this is thru the cryptocoin derivatives market BitMex. So I specualte that there will not be a lot of short sellers in the beginning. But for the medium term expect we all have to expect it. 200 mBTC is such a very high price for a new and unproven cryptocoin.

You are right. Vettel has no where to go except to stay in Ferrari and help improve the team. A better option for them would be to get a new team principal and a new technical director. Maybe Ferrari should try to negotiate a deal for Ross Brawn's return. That would surely make the fans very happy. I know I would.

@vella85. Well that was unexpected. The next game will be at the Dodgers' stadium, correct? I also believe that Clayton Kershaw will be pitching in that game unless I got the wrong information. If Kershaw is pitching then I will be confident that the Dodgers will go thru and play in the world series. But there is also a chance for the Cubs because it is a must win for them. If it was at the home stadium of the Cubs it might be good to bet on them.

@nydiacaskey01. There is also the question of what kind of mindset Ronda is bringing in the octagon on the day of the fight. I mentioned this before but I speculate that Ronda is ready to retire if she loses this fight. So this fight vs Nunes is all or nothing for her and it hits two birds with one stone. One is Ronda loses but she wins enough money to retire. Number two is if she wins she will make history once again in UFC's greatest comebacks and continues on with here career. I think she is trying to put herself in a situation where she has nothing to lose so that she can have an advantage psychologically.

Study the history of bitcoin and altcoins and you will see how we ended up with a lot of altcoins in the cryptosphere. Some of them started as a project to improve where the developers bitcoin is weak, while others intended to scam the community by riding on the popularity, the promising future and the potential of bitcoin. Now we are at a phase where the ICO is very popular. Some of them sincerely believe that they could create and develop something with big potential while others again are created to scam people.

As for the simple answer "why"?  Because they can.

If you do not mind. What did you post? You could copy and paste them here so we could all discuss them in constructive manner. You should also understand that it is a hard and difficult situation for Ethereum classic. The price of ETC has been going down and that discourages the miners from securing the network because it would not be profitable for them. Any negative comments or trolling should not be tolerated by their mods right now. They need more positive people to give their community more support.
