How to decentralize the internet. 1.) connect to an IXP (such as Open IXP - who believes in a open and free internet) - someone with know how of BGP networking would help a lot 2.) Buy Lots of Hardware, such as Ubiquiti/Mimosa mesh network gear (long range 5ghz mid band (unlicensed) antennas, short range 5ghz mid band ethernet ports, etc) 3.) Get people to join the network and volunteer their time help setting up more APs and Gateways 4.) if there is another mesh network locally, try and see if you can combine your networks, 5) Eventually community and locally operated Mesh network will unite across states and nations I know this seems impossible but I believe that if we start now, we could decentralize the internet in 10-15 years There is one thing I am not sure of, it is how do we scale such a Network without traditional ISPs trying to crack down (via lobbying on local govts etc) on locally owned mesh networks https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/7x4y8a/net-neutrality-fcc-community-networkshttps://www.coindesk.com/plan-b-ethereum-innovators-reviving-fight-net-neutrality/I have been discussing with some of my friends of the long term possibility of this happening, and whether or not powerful ISPs would win their attempts to crack down on local mesh networks.

To be honest: it is a mistery for me why the value of the AGI tokens keep dropping. I do not have available funds, but if I did I would buy a lot more. People are crazy selling AGI for this price..
Maybe this is why: https://www.reddit.com/r/SingularityNet/comments/86jno7/note_about_speculative_trading_agi_on_the_newly/ Bascially the team doesn't care about the price at this point. They are purely focused on building the system and not marketing the coin, which is fine. Still in this bearish market all is going down, so who knows where the bottom is. Oh wow, I did not know that they were already SEC compliant, awesome!!  Thanks for sharing the link a quick google search tells me the ICO price was $0.10 so with the price under $0.20 - AGI is looking really attractive  |

I have learned some valuable lessons from trading that I would like to share. These are my personal thoughts and not trading or financial advice.
1. I learned that no one can accurately and consistently predict the market. There are many gurus out there, giving out predictions like candy. Some have large followings and paid groups. It gives people a sense of comfort to seek advice and predictions from these people. But in the end, it's important to remember that no one knows what is going to happen.
2. I have learned that protecting my money is the number one priority. Many people develop a sense of attachment to certain tokens. They will lock them away in cold storage, and HODL no matter what happens. But remember that even the most solid tokens will bleed heavily during a massive market correction. Many people with "strong hands" HODL all the way to the bottom, where they eventually sell and get REKT. Remember that not everything will rebound. In the real world, 9 out of 10 traditional new businesses will fail within 5 years. Why would crypto, which is based upon brand new technology, be any different? This is why I believe in setting stop losses. Even if the token bounces after I sell, at least I have protected my earnings and I can continue to trade another day.
3. The trend is my friend. When Bitcoin starts trading at lower highs and lower lows, that is the sign of a possible bear market. At that point, I convert back into fiat and wait. I don't try to catch falling knives, which means buy crypto as prices are falling. I patiently wait until the market hits the bottom. But how do I know what the bottom is? I don't. I wait for Bitcoin to show a reversal and solid uptrend, higher highs and higher lows, building solid support levels before I start to invest again. When I start investing, I carefully dollar cost average in.
4. By selling during a downtrend and buying during an uptrend, I make consistent profits. I don't have to know where the tops and bottoms are. And even if I make a mistake and sell my crypto too early, only to watch them rebound and moon, I have still protected my money. Then I get back on the train and continue the ride upward. I may suffer a little FOMO, but nothing is really lost.
That's my personal strategy. It's important to remember that everyone on crypto Twitter is looking out for their own investments. They will encourage you to HODL when the ship is sinking because they don't want their bags to lose value. But I always look out for myself first, and never get attached to tokens.
Again, this is my personal strategy and not trading advice. What have you learned from trading?
Good post. I would add one thing for sure, use all of the above and then follow your gut! theres been quite a few times where I have either missed out on a good trade, or got burned but not following my gut. Learn from your mistakes is another big one, and is actually really hard to do  |

LoL cuz Forex is pretty much a scam, you have to pay for your lot size, the gains are minimal unless you trade on margin, and then you lose your money. I honestly don't get why people trade Forex. You have better luck trading stocks, and crypto even though liquidity is pretty low in crypto compared to the stock or forex exchanges.

I think we are at the early stages of a 3rd industrial revolution but it
is a long way off yet as has been mentioned 20, 30 years.
While the 3 seperate sectors of Internet, energy and transport are in
motion [excuse the pun] there is still a very long way to travel [ ! ]
for the new transport sector to be properly linked to both internet
and energy.
When all 3 align i can see it being a massive revolution.
That would be quite something! I'll be old by then haha, maybe my progeny will be able to reap the rewards of the 3rd industrial revolution. |

The 1st I.R. (Industrial Revolution) occured when the Telegram, a new power source called coal, and a new transport system (steam engine/Railroads) merged to forever change society as we know it.
The 2nd I.R. occured when the telephone/radio/TV, Oil, Cars/trucks/buses once again merged into a new platform of society.
There's no real technological paradigm shift separating the "1st industrial revolution" from the "2nd industrial revolution". The telephone is essentially identical to a telegram system, there isn't a quantum leap of difference separating the two. The telephone is telegram 2.0. Coal and oil are both hydrocarbon based forms of energy subject to many similar emissions and greenhouse gas issues. If steam engines and locomotives are version 1.0 then cars/trucks/buses are version 2.0. Again no major upgrade between the two technologies cars and trucks utilize essentially many of the same fundamental engine principles as a locomotive: pistons, gears, valves, etc. The 3rd I.R. will occur once the Internet, renewable energy/smartgrids, new logistics (driverless cars, electric cars) all merge into the Internet of Things I think renewable energy/smartgrids and the other things mentioned do represent a technological paradigm shift. This abstract should be labeled the 2nd industrial revolution and the one mentioned above should be tossed out. Of course, there isn't much if any demand for consistent standards in academia. There might not have been a technological paradigm shift, but there definitely was a societal one. before the 2nd I.R. and cars, people had to get around in horse drawn carriages to get to the train station if they wanted to get out of town. Most farmers still had cattle or horses to pull carts. after the advent of cars and the combustion engine (different from steam) society changed A LOT. I think that is the paradigm shift, a shift in society caused by the technological advances |

best long term buy Gbyte
Why? - Full disclosure, i'm campaigning/shilling on this thread
But here is why Gbyte will do very well for its self in the future
- Unlike Iota, Byteball (Gbyte) has a working wallet. Byteball has many features built in said wallet, such as Oracles (sports, flight delay) and Blackbytes - Blackbytes are the Anonymous tier of crypto tied to Byteball, you can send blackbytes via Tor, Untraceable.
Byteball also has smart contract features - a smart contract feature on a DAG - They've recently had their first ICO on the Gbyte platform, Silent Notary. and I am sure many more are to come because the Tech behind this coin if phenomenal !
The main Developer Tony, is a genius and a workhorse, some in the community don't always agree with his methods but they all agree that his coding skills are top notch. There are other people helping Tony develop.
all in all dyor, but i'm very exited about the tech behind Byteball

Is yesterday the birthday of the ark? Why are there no surprises like the others? With so many markets that support the ark, but there is no significant movement on his birthday. And no good news lately. I doubt if the project is still running or not.  Did you even read anything on this thread.....? Just take a look at literally one post above yours... You can't fix stupid. For some reason; news = moon - either that or he was intentionally trolling us, but I'm leaning more toward the former. |

Oh, and by the way, NO ONE is trying to pump the price from the side of the actual people doing stuff for the project.
We made it perfectly clear in the past that we do not make useless air announcements. Take it as it is.
We must thank all the effort ek has made during these two years ... congratulate him and all those who have helped to have the first supercomputer working. Do we know for sure that the "surprise" is a working supercomputer? or are we getting ahead of ourselves? I guess we'll find out sunday  congrats to all that have helped developed this. Very exiting times ahead for XEL. |

"there are two certainties in life, Death and Taxes" - Benjamin Franklin
If we didn't pay taxes, we might not have the internet as we know it today. TCP/IP protocol was developed under a government grant.
The Interstate Highway system was developed with Federal money,
I think people often underplay the importance of government/governance, without it infrastructure would crumble, services like police, Fire fighter, and ambulance would come to halt, people would lose jobs. It would be anarchy.
Now if we want to argue, is the money well spent? <--- We could go back and forth for years with this one

The market will recover as always, and it will come back stronger.
look at the great depression, market eventually recovered, 2008 financial crisis, economy recovered.
Bitcoin has recovered many times in its short life span, so many people have tried to write off bitcoin claiming bitcoin is dead or whatever.
Where some see losses, others see value, supply and demand, and more importantly the crypto market has only just started burgeoning the last few years. We will have to wait many years to see DLT come to full fruition

iExec Community Announcement: Vote for RLC to be listed on CryptalDash.com Exchange. iExec has been featured in the New Coin Listing Competition, this is your chance to grow the market cap and liquidity pool of iExec. Support your coin by voting now, voting ends in 11 days. (iExec is currently in last place with 0 votes) https://www.cryptaldash.com/new-coin-listingMaybe RLC has 0 votes because the only way to vote is via twitter/FB or by buying your token. It seems a little disingenuous: 'Vote! But you must either pay the exchange or advertise the exchange." - No offense, but it is not our job to fund and market your product. Besides, with Binance and Bittrex I am quite happy with the exchanges RLC is on. Maybe eventually your exchange will list RLC without a vote, as it should, because RLC is awesome. |

Also good idea, but when you pay the 1BTC listing fee on cryptobridge they will list you so it does not matter if they already have nxt or not and wont delist you if the volume is too low I just made a tweet where anyone can donate to get the 1BTC - not more. If we reach the full amount I will send the application form and pay for listing. https://twitter.com/LordkeekLordkek/status/975757049333198849BTC address: 1AzmtY8X47Mujko733mXhFHzLqvjcXK4dc Ive used Stocks exchange before, and its not bad.... buuuut depositing BTC or ETH there takes a full day (at least it seems like it). The trading/exchange is decent, but has really low volume - I rather have CB |

the quotes I highlighted were just a couple things that I thought might be of interest to the crypto community...
socialistic thoughts about global wealth? not what I was thinking with that first quote. I was thinking of DLT (aka blockchain)
And yeah believe me i know how badly Europe and USA are watching everybody, digital age, big data... - again what I meant with that quote, is how do we protect (from hackers/thiefs not necessarily govts) all of the data that our homes, cars, cellphones, computers, will generate in the future?
that's a valid question whether it is existential or not is up to you, but I think it is worth discussing in a crypto forum.
So what exactly should be decentralized? The problem of privacy can't be globaly solved by using blockchain. The data that you would be able to make more private is mostly useless while the government will never allow you to hide the other part. I remember someone from the top management of Google said that if you don't want anyone to know that you are doing sonething then you just shouldn't do it (that was the answer on the question about the question about privacy). Mainstream have no respect to your internet privacy and they will mobilize all power to reject those things. The blockchain might be adopted in such places where it is possible to minimize the price of datastorage (like there was a project that kept medical data on blockchain) but this is not about privacy. the electrical grid should and eventually will be decentralized. It might not even use DLT whatsoever (it could tho - POWR token), but lets assume that as the price of solar goes down, its adoptability goes up. Residential areas and Commercially zoned areas with solar panels can sell excess electricity to each other or back to the grid (i.e. the utility company). Right now utility companies have centralized power and they sell for X amount per kilowatt hour. Eventually their power sources will be a decentralized grid of smart houses/businesses that sell excess back to the Utility company or to other homes and businesses directly. ---> this sort of thing is already happening, just on a small scale interesting read: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150204102637.htm |

Exactly that is what I understood as well that team consists real people who are very respected because of their work. AGI token is highly undervalued seeing the potential and here in this market until product isn't delivered people use most of the projects as speculative tools. We can find small number of people investing in tech and concept buy large are quick profit makers.
call me crazy but i see AGI as a 5+ years investment. I will definitely take some profit along the way, but AI is only just getting started |
