As the ICo was about to begin, https://sonm.io/ crashes.  Slack channel going crazy.  People contributing to wrong wallets.  Its a mess

It's clear that the ICO madness is in full effect, it's just the site getting too much traffic and hence not being able to load. All those ICOs get bought in seconds. BAT got sold in seconds, Bancor too, all those ICOs... its crazy. And there's still Civic and Tezos to come, which will get sold fast as hell too.

what do you think about that?

if you look graphics until 2 weeks, eth always be 10etc. but since2 weeks eth =20etc

will etc pump to 0.1 eth?

We'll see. it looks like a lot of the ICO's done on the ETH chain will repeat again in ETH, which is funny since it basically means free money for the developers.

I thin they will repeat ICO on every smart contract blockchain.

Important points noted:

-Premined (5300 BTC go for bitmain (Jihan))
-Stealth-mined (blocks mined will not be public until X time)
-Economic incentives ignored (ignoring the fact that the market is crashing hard)
-Client developed by god knows who
-Fallaciously calling it UAHF when it's MAHF (Miner activated hard fork)
-Falsely assuming it has enough community support

The whole thing is nuts. Jihan has finally lost it.

Nothing important has happened to bitcoin that we can relate the reduction in price to that. The only reason is high supply. There are investors who will be regret soon. There are people who can't be patient and are selling their bitcoins. After their withdrawal, prices will start to increase gradually and peoples who are patient now and people who are buying now will earn more money.

The only thing important is the hard fork FUD, that's all. Some people panic sell, then all the noobs that entered the cryptocurrency space lately are also panic selling, the smart people will buy the dip and things will continue as usual in the world of bitcoin.

This hard fork fud is another excuse for whales to buy cheaper BTC.

I think you are a bit confused if you think anyone can look like that. You must have no idea in fact. Overeem's physique on a massive 6'4'' on the last pic screams steroids usage... that or 1 in 1000000 genetics. Look at his delts, traps, massive arms, and look at his low bodyfat.

You can either be cut and have low bodyfat, or be massive but have higher bodyfat. When you see both at the same time, start being skeptic about his natural claims.

Have you ever seen a picture of Bruce Lee flexing his muscles with his shirt off? Do you think Bruce Lee used steroids & that someone could only have a body like Bruce Lee if they abused performance enhancing drugs? I tend to think that anyone could look like Bruce Lee did, without using PED's if they were willing to work as hard and be as disciplined as Bruce Lee was.

The tendency people have to assume people don't have to work hard to have a good physique and that anyone who is shredded does PED's doesn't make much sense to me. I've known a lot of people that were shredded that never did steroids. Its bizarre to me how people think they can tell whether someone is using steroids or not simply by looking at someone.

James Toney and Josh Barnett both tested positive for steroids. Neither of those guys is abnormally shredded or bulky.

Dude are you serious? Bruce Lee was what, 130 lbs?

Bruce Lee was short and had a small frame. Sure he had fantastic muscle insertions and a great metabolism, his body looked great in picture and film, but Overeem is massive and would dwarf Bruce Lee in real life.

The point here is: Overeem in those pictures was both conditioned AND massive in a 6'4'' frame. It is then reasonable to suspect steroid usage.
Sure, you still need to work hard to look like that even on steroids, but the point is... you aren't going to reach that look without the steroids as a big guy.

Look at Overeem's progression over time:



He doesn't look natural at all on the final pics. Too heavy and too conditioned, can't be both at the same time without steroids. I just can't believe he was natural.

His current physique looks like someone who lifts, but could be free of steroids, but who knows.

I think anyone could look like Overeem if they quit their day job and were paid to lift weights, have healthy lifestyle habits and eat healthy food full time everyday on a consistent basis. There's nothing really out of the ordinary there. Everyone would look like that if everyone lifted weights full time with the goal of bulking up.

Those bulky muscles Overeem had were good for kickboxing but bad for wrestling/grappling cardio in MMA. That's why Overeem slimmed down. Overeem couldn't last 3 rounds with those heavy muscles as his fight with Bigfoot Silva showed. After Overeem slimmed down he had no trouble lasting 3 rounds. A lot of other MMA fighters have undergone similar transformations where they needed to slim down and lose muscle mass to maintain cardio.



I think you are a bit confused if you think anyone can look like that. You must have no idea in fact. Overeem's physique on a massive 6'4'' on the last pic screams steroids usage... that or 1 in 1000000 genetics. Look at his delts, traps, massive arms, and look at his low bodyfat.

LOL. It doesn't take a genius to see what Reem has put in the last several years. And I totally agree with you 100%. He's body is screaming for steroids. The delts says its all, I haven't seen natural with delts popping out like Reem does. So for me he is a steroids abuser and has likely tapered off because of the current testing.

The massive traps are also a giveaway. Some people have amazing deltoid genetics tho, and can reach popping delts naturally, but the overal package on Overeem, with that 6'4'' frame, points to roid usage.

Notice on the other pic I posted, left steroids, right natural, looks clear to me.

They sold all the iota to the funders and now funders have to sell their iota's to other people.

No PoW, no fee, no economy.

Fucking ponzi.

If everything is free with iota,.. Why would i pay for an IOTA? Don't make any sense dawg

Yep, it seems it was 100% premined, then it suddenly appeared in coinmarketcap above litecoin... funny.

From the comments above (Fuserleer, banano... thanks for your hindsight) it seems this is another broken promise with impossible claims.

Another failed attempt at solving bitcoin problems it seems?

There was an website which shows every ico's ico and current prices and profit but I cannot find it.


On this site you can see the insane ROIs:

https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico

It's clear that some of those have made a lot of people rich. Even BAT seems to be %420

https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/basic-attention-token/

The market took a dump and now I wonder if its a good buy or not.

Damn it's a really sad sight to see Fernando Alonso consistently not being able to finish a single race. Looks like the championship is going to end with 0 wins by Alonso.
It's obvious that Alonso will end season without wins. It was already clear before season that he won't be able to fight for a win. I'm not even sure that Alonso will get some points this season.

Correct, I meant to say "points" not "wins". I was expecting Alonso to at least get 1 damn point, just 1, so you dont have a big ugly 0 as score. He was doing great this race, 10th position would give him a point, but the damn car had to crash in the last lap, he is cursed with bad luck. Let's hope he gets a good luck streak soon, odds say he should have good luck soon.

Damn it's a really sad sight to see Fernando Alonso consistently not being able to finish a single race. Looks like the championship is going to end with 0 wins by Alonso.

Hamilton is probably going to win again this year if he keeps winning. I think Vettel will have a streak of bad luck at the end with his car and Hamilton will take the lead.
1094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do you know the price after ICO? on: June 12, 2017, 05:03:08 PM
The price of a coin after an ICO is discovered through literally "price discovery", this meaning that ICO holders sell on the market for whatever they want, and buyers buy at whatever they want, after some time the price stabilizes. This is why usually there's a big red candle after an ICO. Some guys set ridiculous prices and some get scammed by buying at those high prices. It's better to wait for a while after the ICO.
1095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Secret to finding potential 100X coin on: June 12, 2017, 03:22:12 PM
Too hard to say... the coin must hit bitfinex at least, ideally poloniex which is where the big volume comes from, even tho we have seen massive pumps like the PIVX one and it's clear that that was an amazing buy (the coin seems now that it's stagnating tho)

If someone finds some contenders let us know.

I still think Poswallet will eventually have a big pump so im holding some of that.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC FN 110: Lewis vs Hunt Info and Prediction Thread on: June 12, 2017, 12:44:29 PM
The problem remains that it is hard to catch the cheaters,no one would have believed Lance Armstrong was a serial cheater until it was revealed and that was the case with all the athletes involved in the BALCO scandal,one thing is sure that the Reem lost a lot of muscle after the introduction of USADA and the food you mentioned have a level of increase and on testing only drastic change will be noted,which is not normal.
As expected Hunt knocked out Lewis as his weakness of not having a gas tank to last four rounds was evident in the fight.

Reem lost muscle due to him moving to train out of greg jackson's gym & that gym not being a big believer in lifting weights.?

Look at Overeem's progression over time:



He doesn't look natural at all on the final pics. Too heavy and too conditioned, can't be both at the same time without steroids. I just can't believe he was natural.

His current physique looks like someone who lifts, but could be free of steroids, but who knows.

His gains aren't that impressive. He's a professional athlete. His job is to lift weights, use supplements and eat the healthiest things he can find.

Overeem's bulking up is impressive for people who lift weights once or twice a month & are too busy working to train much.

Jon Jones gains were about as impressive and he did it after USADA went into effect.



Dude Overeem got caught with steroids, then after he came back his gains just weren't there. It was obvious he was cheating. His physique was too big and conditioned to be natural.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2019689-bas-rutten-alistair-overeem-started-losing-once-he-stopped-using-steroids

Read this Bas Rutten interview and you will see.




Notice the difference.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC FN 110: Lewis vs Hunt Info and Prediction Thread on: June 11, 2017, 05:32:30 PM
To my knowledge, wasn't Overeem caught with testosterone or something? He just didn't look natural. The way he bulked in a few years was too impressive, and too cut. It's not like he was wearing extra fat to make the cut, he was all muscle, like a bodybuilder. That look specially in a tall guy is very hard to achieve naturally.

After his comeback he looks more natural but you never know because steroids are very addictive.

Its tough to know if someone is using steroids by their physical appearance.

James Toney(from boxing) and Josh Barnett aren't cut and both tested positive for steroids in their careers.

Its much easier for professional fighters and athletes to develop good physiques they get paid to lift weights & eat healthy food as their profession.

Overeem did test positive for elevated testosterone. Then I think he quit lifting weights when he moved to train out of greg jackson's gym and has gotten smaller since.

I couldn't say whether Reem or anyone else uses steroids with 100% certainty.

To be honest I don't even know how accurate the testosterone test is, there are natural foods that boost or lower testosterone levels. One example of a food that could lower testosterone is soy sauce.

Examples of foods that might boost testosterone:

  • Pomegranate.
  • Olive Oil.
  • Oysters.
  • Coconut.
  • Cruciferous Vegetables.
  • Whey Protein.
  • Garlic.

Etcetera.

Look at Overeem's progression over time:



He doesn't look natural at all on the final pics. Too heavy and too conditioned, can't be both at the same time without steroids. I just can't believe he was natural.

The irony is supreme - if UASF will have even the slightest chance of "success" (by that I mean: splitting the bitcoin chain and causing havoc in the space, mostly just a shorting opportunity for investors), they'll need to buy a bunch of miners from Jihan Wu!


Well, the UASF chain would no longer be kept hostage with covert ASICBOOST, which to my knowledge, segwit totally fulminates.

So not only UASF chain is better technologically due segwit, but it is no longer kept hostage with what is basically a 51% attack.

In any case, you don't need to buy mining gear from Jihan:

It's clear that Overeem is not natural, or at least he wasn't for lots of years, he looked like a damn bodybuilder, it's clear he was cheating. Not sure about now. What is IV?

IV is IntraVenous.

Its what they call the bag full of fluid MMA fighters used to IntraVenously inject through their veins to re-hydrate themselves after cutting weight.

IV's were banned after USADA random testing/out-of-competition testing went into effect as the plastic can be used to mask the deliver of PED's to a limited degree. The plastic bag the IV is made of can be detected via testing. In the past athletes put PED's in IV bags that's the reason USADA objects to it.

Its normal for hospitals/healthcare to use an IV on someone who is severely dehydrated/sick. Overeem using one probably isn't as major an issue as some are making it out to be.

To my knowledge, wasn't Overeem caught with testosterone or something? He just didn't look natural. The way he bulked in a few years was too impressive, and too cut. It's not like he was wearing extra fat to make the cut, he was all muscle, like a bodybuilder. That look specially in a tall guy is very hard to achieve naturally.

Nobody has convinced me to buy STRAT. If it's just an Ethereum clone with a different language, it has not enough value proposition to aim at overtaking ETH, and not sure if its a top10 coin... ETC is already on the top 10. How many of those smart contract coins can fit on the top 10?

I may buy if it gets really cheap, I think its too pumped.
