I think that the chances for a deeper correction have increased considerably. Of course, adepts see this the right way: buy time (but first the drop).

I have been reading up on the proposed DeepSend functionality as described in the 2nd newsletter and the reference to the Supercoin thread. I need to find some time this weekend to bring this down to a simple explanation in a separate DO forum thread so the devs can see whether I have understood it correctly. Proper description of DeepSend is vital - in my opinion - to keep the promotion campaign rolling in a true and sincere way.

It is just time for a deeper correction, nothing more.

It is just exchanges closing, not Bitcoin 'closing'.

The linked thread is French. Therefore I post the direct link to the outside article here: http://bitcoinist.com/national-crypto-never-beat-bitcoin/

Core message:

For governments that try otherwise, there is DeepOnion, Dash, Monero, etc. Letting go of all behaviourally learned stuff, this cryptocurrency thing is simply superior.

Good. Weak hands leaving IOTA. This builds a better base for the next jump over time. With so many coins issued at once, it is not so easy for IOTA to rise spectacularly. It will probably grow in smaller waves over longer periods than the average pump coin.

Dark coins like Dash, Monero and DeepOnion (if the DeepSend functionality to be implemented in Q 2017 is good) have a long period of growth ahead of them. Not only in shady deal privacy minded currency is looked for by market participants, but also in normal (legal) life. Not everyone would be fond of his bank account balance is freely available for inspection all the time. On the other hand, it would solve the problem of 'salon socialists' perhaps 

This could be considered a small success. And that in the wake of the China ban.

The more people think Bitcoin is a bubble, the less 'bubble' it will probably prove to be. As long as there are bears, there's no market top yet. I am waiting for the taxi driver to push his 'Taxi Coin' before jumping ship.

Actually, I think the best way is to look at extremes in Bitcoin pricing in its still young past. My thoughts on that are explained further here:

I would tend to say that speculation fuels new industries/tech. The speculation leads to disappointments in the future (the losing projects) but is essential to garner enough users of new applications and attract enough capital to build the necessary infrastructure.

The hype will go away at some point, but the infrastructure stays.

I think the core question is: what do you trust more:

• currency, opaquely issued centrally (as debt), governed by an untouchable group of persons, heavily regulated and permission-walled
• currency, transparently issued by code (as irredeemable token), governed by several factors (miners, coders, users) in a certain decentralised, openly visible and 'free admission' type of manner, fully digital, permissionless

I know my preferred choice. Do you know yours?

If I understand correctly, staking is only possible if the wallet is connected to the Internet. Running my PC 24/7 is not an option for me, so I am afraid no staking for me. But there will be plenty of other people doing the staking for the benefit of the network.

That's the trouble. Nothing really happens on the exchange while a lot can be seen going on behind the scenes. I could imagine that an active trader wants to see action now, or move on.

"the foundation for the entire web".

Visionaries will have vision. Others will see visionaries having vision. The rest will see nothing.

I am afraid you will have to check yourself whether you comply with all rules. Most of them are 0/1 rules. Easy to check because the outcome is binary: either you comply or you don't. Like the signature requirement or being a Member at BCT before a certain day.

Other rules are open for interpretation by the devs. That is where the most trouble comes from. If you feel that you have been wrongly denied access to the Airdrop, sign up to the DO forum and explain your case in the weekly  thread that the devs will communicate for this purpose. For this 8th Airdrop, the 'reconsideration' thread has been closed already.

Just contribute and make sure that all cards turn green. Then, apply for reconsideration. I am sure you'll manage.

The TenX token could use a haircut to reach 'realistic' pricing. Like, a 10x haircut.

Selling some DeepOnions on the market is not necessarily a bad thing. This will bring some coins to the market and thus liquidity. For every seller, there is a buyer. DO needs a liquid market to succeed in the end. Trouble is that Nova was locked for signups the other day. I haven't tried to signup again so this information may be outdated by now.

Now we are talking  

If EOS (if working as planned) would not bring these multipliers, the market for ICOs could be considered dead. But there are no guarantees for the future. This is similar to investing in a Bitcoin in 2011 on the back of a $32 bubble. It is a bit of a gamble.

I would welcome more receipients of DeepOnions at each airdrop. Spreading the use of DeeOpinion is vital for its success and the 90% holding requirement the next 31 weeks makes us more dependent on having a larger number of users who can play with up to 10% for transactional purposes.

Did you carefully follow all steps in the installation guide?
