Do deep research. Read the white paper and it's well written and makes sense, look at their team, their advisors, even do reserach on their investors. I would then look at their social channels and see what the community is saying about them or in the news. One project that I really respect ATM is Ampleforth because they really hit all the marks on what a great coin will lead to

I read somewhere once that the bpm of reggae music actually helps put your brain waves into a calming happy state. So I always try to do that when I feel under stress.

There needs to be a currency that works both as a unit of account and a storage of wealth. One project in particular I've been learning about is Ampleforth and their elastic supply policy. The amount in circulation changes according to the demand. I think this is a great crypto that we can use for day to day payments
144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What made you fall in love with crypto? on: February 19, 2019, 10:23:30 PM
I have become obsessed with learning about a system that not only allows every individual around the world to be involved in but I am also able to be my own entrepreneur and creator.
145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptocurrencies are going down on: February 01, 2019, 11:14:08 PM
there's a lot happening in terms of exchanges which I think has a huge play on it as well as government regulation. on the up side thoguh I think we will see growth with all the exciting advancements being made to platforms and securites
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favorite Coin for 2018? on: February 01, 2019, 11:11:33 PM
ampleforth which changed its name from fragments before is a coin I have a lot of hope in. Their protocol is pretty amazing to think about if you ask me because it will solve the problem of inflation with its unit of account and storage of wealth system.

148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will NEO become strong? on: February 01, 2019, 10:59:49 PM
Have you looked much into the scalabilty of NEO? I'm just wondering in regards to the moac platform that provides both a main chain and side chain functionality with two different consensus mechanisms

CMC (#85): https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/moac/

Recently launched a book about their tech: https://medium.com/@moac_io/blockchain-and-industrial-innovations-book-launch-captures-holiday-spirit-40f5287adc92

Pretty interesting imo
150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 100 coin BUT only on TWO exchanges?! on: December 18, 2018, 12:24:13 AM
Where do you see crypto going? before success was dependent on what exchanges you were on. Nowadays not so much. What does this mean?  Huh
151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH vs EOS vs NEO vs MOAC vs ICON vs ADA on: December 18, 2018, 12:07:07 AM
I still believe in eth, besides that we need a lot of references about moac, sometimes good projects don't get good support, so investors don't interest to invest on it

I don't think it's about choosing one over the other. While I still hold ETH, it is important to keep an eye on upcoming blockchains that can disrupt ethereum. Or even if they're solving the problems that ethereum faces, that's already groundbreaking for the ecosystem
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ultimate stablecoin vote on: December 18, 2018, 12:05:52 AM
Does anyone have a comparison between ampleforth and basis?
153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: top 100 crypto launches first dapp on: December 18, 2018, 12:05:13 AM
I am interested in the speed of transactions, if it can be faster and more effective than Etherum, I think they will no longer be a meta.

they've already proved 5000 TPS and say they can scale to 100,000 TPS. Lots of potential. This is what they recently posted: https://medium.com/moac/explaining-moacs-ground-breaking-technology-95362b8aa99a

yup. I remember when they had their ICO. They also just announced a partnership with RAC (securities platform). https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181214005053/en/RAC-Announces-Collaboration-Investment-MOAC-Foundation

MOAC and securities? pretty big deal imo

// 2. The Ampleforth Model

Betty purchases 1 Ample at $1, demand increases and she now has 4000 Amples each worth $1."

Can you help me understand this model. Is it like this:

each Ample holder receives a proportional share of their coins when demand increases?

If yes, what about the coins that are not allocated at that time (not in circulation)? Are they also inflated?



Another question is what if the value of such token decrease in value, what will happen to the holdings of people?  Remember the market is not always going up.  There is a time that value decrease and since this is crypto there is a possibility that the value will decrease by more than 90%.   This kind of system is very complex and if ever they can reduce the holdings of people then this is no longer a decentralized cryptocurrency.

They don't look at the value of tokens, but their system goes by unit of account, so if you have $100 worth of amples in your wallet, it will stay at the value, but the quantity of amples will change based on how the market demand changes. So in this case, if the market decreases by 10%, your amount of amples in your wallet will decrease 10%.


I don't know much about Ampleforth, but is the system better than other bitcoin or stabelcoin? but I'm not sure it will get better, or maybe a better investment

I recommend reading their whitepaper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I-NmSnQ6E7wY1nyouuf-GuDdJWNCnJWl/view

I do think in terms of stablecoins, they offer a very unique solution that solves central inflation

Funny that MOAC partnered with a securities platform recently  Cool
156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 100 crypto (MOAC) partners with securities platform on: December 17, 2018, 11:54:12 PM
securities are going to be huuuuuuge  Grin

wish more projects were getting into them
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The rise and fall of stablecoins on: December 17, 2018, 11:49:49 PM
I think we need to shift how we think about stablecoins. Unlike traditional crypto where we are investing in hopes of gains, stablecoins like ampelforth are for everyday use. Not an investment, but for use.

For ampleforth, they are a solid project and I see a huge need for them especially if we have another recession
158  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dai Stablecoin on: May 24, 2018, 08:30:58 PM
Not the biggest fan of maker. You should read this article about stablecoins: https://www.forbes.com/sites/shermanlee/2018/03/12/explaining-stable-coins-the-holy-grail-of-crytpocurrency/#16a8a1c04fc6

My personal favorite is Havven. https://havven.io/
159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: World's first online store to only accept stablecoins as payment on: May 24, 2018, 08:29:09 PM
Stabblecoins are good, but i wish they would accept all the crypto, so I would be able to get rid of those alts that are filling my wallet Wink
You can just exchange the altcoins that you want to get rid of into the havven stable coin, and use it as you please after. However, I'm sure that in the future there will be some solution where you will be spend all the altcoins that you own, without the need to convert them before you do this.

yes exactly. I think right now you have to convert but in the future it will be very different. Big fan of what Havven is doing
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You can now buy Apple products with crypto!!! on: May 24, 2018, 08:27:33 PM
Saw this article on The Merkle: https://themerkle.com/now-you-have-another-way-to-pay-for-apple-products/

Guys it's happening. With all of the recent news, it looks like everyone is starting to embrace crypto. I think doing this through stablecoins is the way. What do you guys think?

What's the catch? I'm sure there is, specially companies who tends to accepts cryptocurrency offers a huge amount of transaction fees or service fees in return to convenience and availability plus how will they react to the ever changing market and how would they be able to secure the customers transaction details.

I don't think there's a catch. Havven is a stablecoin going up against Tether. You should look into how their dual token system works: https://havven.io/how-it-works

They also posted how to buy stuff in the store here: https://blog.havven.io/purchase-apple-products-with-eusd-in-the-estore-usa-only-58ee537772bc
