The idea was great. It was an useful service to mine (stake) PoS coins that you want to speculate with and you couldn't care enough to download the entire blockchain for. They got started with the wrong foot, but I think it will eventually get it's pump sooner or later. If I was holding bags, I wouldn't sell at a loss now. I mean it can't go any lower, it has found a stable price. I have experience of holding bags for 2 years that finally get a big pump and you are able to get out at great profits. I think if the devs keep taking care of the project, big money will want to put some attention into this.

Patience is key in the game of crypto-speculation.

According to this website:

https://byteball.org/


So the distribution was yesterday, next one is in two months because they are bypassing november.

Did anyone get their GBYTE? How much did you get? Also how fast is it after the countdown is over to receive your coins?

I just can't check my Byteball wallet until I can pick up my other computer. I can't wait to see how much I got. If I did everything right I linked all of my addresses into different gbyte addresses correctly.

Yes, the current airdrop is over, but there will be more airdrops, it's a monthly process, except it appears that this month they will not do an airdrop (for November) so they are skipping this and the next airdrop will be on October, so you got until October to sort your bitcoins up and link all of your addresses to Byteball addresses for some free money.

I like the idea, avoids ICOs, but creates dumps on each airdrops, that's the problem of this method. It's also not automated. I don't like the feel of some guy changing the rules. I prefer the "rule set from the start" like on bitcoin. I mean a predictable and hardcoded method to issue the coins. The problem with this of course, PoW etc. Everything has pros and cons, that I know off.

He is undefeated, and undefeated fighters always have that aura about them that makes them special. Everyone either wants them to win or wants them to lose to see how they would react to their first loss (basically a lot of people watched Mayweather fights because of that, that's how he made so many millions)

He is also the bigger guy with the better reach, he has tremendous KO power. Both are highly skilled. It's going to be a hell of a fight, there's a lot on the line for both.
I kinda wish that Mayweather didn't school Canelo when he was 21 so both could be undefeated for this fight.

Wasn't Bancor banned to US residents? Yet it managed to raise tons of millions of dollars.

I believe there's no amount of bans that are going to stop ICO's from happening. There's always going to be workarounds. Whoever wants to invest is going to invest. You are probably getting rid of the bulk that are dumb enough to not be able to even know how to get an VPN and get things done and scare people with the ban thing, but ICOs are never going to disappear, even if they need to be hosted in the Cayman Islands or some shit.

I guess it's time to invest in VPN providers, that business may keep going up.

I mean coins like Byteball where the coins are airdropped to BTC owners. Any other coins like that?

I saw the interview of Roger Ver and Richard Heart and Richard mentions Byteball and some other coin I forgot, I think Stellar Lumeris or whatever is called, I have no idea what that is.

Anyway, what other coins can you get for free as BTC owners? (yes, I already know about Bitcoin Cash too)

I have been telling people to not gamble too much with ICO's and just enjoy the BTC profits because I knew sooner or later things would go south. I saw this article by anonymint aka iamnotback on this subject 2 days before the Chinese ban on ICOs.

Is the ICO model dead? will ICO's keep making millions no matter what?

I believe "ICO" has become a derogatory term in crypto. I wouldn't use this model to issue the coins, with or without government bans involved, "ICO" was a term that was turning into a joke a long time ago.

It's time to find better ways to issue cryptocurrency. Byteball luckily avoided the ICO model, but it's distribution method is most likely what is causing these dump cycles, so early adopters aren't benefiting from being early adopters. Hopefully the price starts growing eventually. It's sad to see a coin like Byteball so deep into coinmarketcap with a ton of shitcoins above it because it was not some overhyped ICO.

Margarito lost to Miguel Cotto and Maywaether gave Miguel Cotto a good boxing lesson. He also lost to Shane Mosley. Shane did a good job in the earlier rounds but toyed with him in the rest of the fight and also won. He also lost to Pacman.

So you got all those fighters beating each other but nobody has beaten Floyd Mayweather.

I don't speak chinese. How do you know it's not a global ban on all ICOs and only a few selected ones?

That thing does look like a list. So if there is a list, im guessing the ban is not global.

One of the ICOs that got me worried the most is NEO due the massive volume, but it looks like this will not have an impact on NEO (other than the price crash due panic selling of course..)




What I don't get is.. he says "regulation", but this is a straight ban so?

I would keep watching the price. Unless something juicy happens, who knows if we re-test the 0.00103 dip. In dollars it was $2.41, but dollar to BTC correlation has gone bust since then, so I expect STRAT to not go that low, but we may re-visit that same dip in BTC terms. If it goes lower than that I would start getting scared and thinking that im holding yet another stagnating bag. Hopefully the project is strong enough to avoid that fate.

Golovkin was always too big for Mayweather. Mayweather would have been to be at its heaviest and Golovkin would need to cut, but still, I think Mayweather in it's prime could have got the job done, he would have needed to play a game similar to the fights vs the bigger guys he fought, keep digging the body and wearing him out and jab him out, I dont think he could chase him like McGregor tho, he would need to be more defensive.

Wrong, the only bubble that will burst will be the altcoin bubble, specially now that China is banning ICO's, so all these dumb scams will no longer flourish, or at least it will be harder without chinese pump money. I guess whoever wants to buy an ICO will still do it using VPNs or whatever, but it's going to be much difficult.

Meanwhile BTC will keep rissing for a lack of a better altcoin. Hopefully the dip from the ICO ban is over soon. It would suck if there is a chain of events and the ICO news are followed by segwit2x propaganda creating a chain reaction of panic sellers.

My priority list to investing in an altcoin:

1) The technology: Does it propose anything new that can challenge the current king (Bitcoin) and is it already working or is it some promise/vaporware?

2) Active devs: are they constantly trying to improve stuff or they are sitting on a chair doing nothing?

3) Limited supply: Is it a good store of value?

4) Marketing: Can the devs spread the word of their good work and get big liquidity going or they can't spread the word even if the project is good?


These are the major keys imo. Without 1), you are just buying another short lived pump and dump, aka they want your bitcoin.

Canelo is a thought guy, if you look at his record he indeed has 0 losses by KO, so the guy has a solid chin. I mean just look at his brick skull, the motherfucker just wouldn't go down.

A 12 rounder is a very solid prediction, but GGG is a bigger powerpuncher, and an actual boxer powerpuncher unlike McGregor, so I think GGG could definitely put his first KO on Canelo, maybe by stoppage so a TKO in late rounds.

We'll see, it's definitely the best boxing fight of the year.

There's an obvious triangular formation in the works with STRAT when it comes to BTC price. USD price is just doing it's own thing. I wonder what follows what, but I only like to focus on altcoins against BTC because my mission is to make more BTC.

Is there any countdowns for any relevant upgrades or addition into new markets? anything that could trigger an upwards move after the triangle? otherwise we may go into stagnationville.

There aren't ferraris for everyone, and the people in charge aren't going to let their power go to redistribute wealth. I like the idea of an open source society as described by Jacques Fresco, but unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon, we may need 1000's of years to get to that point. In the meantime, im pretty sure cryptocurrencies will be the next step, creating a global economy, possibly inter planetary, so you better start stacking up on BTC soon, for a lack of a better alt.

Even if these celebrities don't explain anything, they fact that they even mention it is positive. For every 10 people that see it, 5 will ignore it, 4 will spend 1 minute googling it, 2 will become very interested and will keep following it, 1 will actually buy.

So as long as the minority that get interested get the message, it is worth it. The people that put in the effort to do their own research are the ones that deserve to get rich the most.

Hindsight is always 20/20... you have to look at what's happening now and see how it will go into the future.

If you want to make more BTC and you don't want to trade against fiat in order to stay within crypto which is reasonable in order to avoid the fiat-taxing mess, you need to look at solid coins with liquidity, and I guess LTC is a decent bet compared to the rest. But the fundamentals are obviously not as attractive anymore in a post-segwit environment. It may pump again when sidechains and LN are a thing.

Congratulations to the winners (these that still decided to hodl pre-segwit activation in bitcoin). Honestly I see no reason for LTC to go up anymore, the fundamentals aren't as interesting. I guess lightning networks and atomic cross chain transactions etc could make it relevant again, but im not going to risk BTC holding LTC for the time being. I think there are better bets to make out there.

Mike Tyson was not 5'8'', he was 5'10'' (he was listed as 5'11'' and a half sometimes, which I doubt unless he shrink with age, but no taller than 5'11" for sure)

Mike Tyson was built like a tank, he wasn't tall like the other heavyweights, but he was a big guy.

But yeah, ultimately weighting a lot isn't going to win you fights.
