@Mrpumperitis. I know about SBF, FTX and SOL. They have taken over Arthur Hayes and Bitmex’s realm, however, Binance is still no.1.
Traders that use FTX exchange...
Hope you got plenty of FTT ...
Binance coin BNB rank 3 has 154Mill supply and is priced at $268 Mcap $41B
FTX coin FTT rank 30 has 94Mill and is priced at is $36. Mcap $3.4B

No maker fee if you have 25 FTT staked...
No withdraw fees if you have 150 FTT staked...
if you want to take part in FTX IEO's, hodling FTT is useful...
Note: Any user whose 30d trading volumes do not exceed $50,000 or who does not stake 500 FTT cannot participate in FTX IEO's

@Mrpumperitis. There is also Binance's smart chain which appears to be in a beginning of a longterm pump to replace Ethereum from being 2nd in coinmarketcap.com.

Binance also has the marketing dollars.

@JollyGood. The statement is not very reassuring.
BSC is just another ETH fork. Higher cost when compared to SOL it costs more than 1000x.
Binance claims its blockchain can handle a throughput of “a couple of thousand” transactions per second.
SOL can do 65k tps and It is specifically built to scale transaction throughput with Moore's Law. There is no sharding required to achieve this throughput.

Also the people backing SOL have deeper pockets than Binance, check out SBF Alameda and Circle group with USDC.

China’s Hurun Research Institute has named Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of crypto derivatives exchange FTX (Built on SOL) the second-richest “blockchain billionaire”—just below Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and, somewhat surprisingly, above Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.

Solana is the most well thought through blockchain platform in the entire space. The others rushed to fill a gap by throwing together concepts hoping they stick. Solana devs went to the root of the problem, started from first principles and revisited old research on concurrency.

btw , 1500 eth minimum if u wana stake  Shocked  ( me  sits back and watches the rush to buy  Cool )


Waiting for ETH staking for a very long time...still waiting...
ETH changed from 1500eth to 32eth over the years as the value of ETH grew...
With staking and the move to pos, i was expecting to see a scalable version of ETH...
Maybe this will happen , give them a few more years...
However....

SOL has delivered what i was expecting from ETH...
A cheap almost free tx cost, instant send, over 50k tps
and for the past 6months , Solana staking is what ive been doing...hodling and earning 10%roi

ETH 2.0 may come oneday....but Solana is here today.

IMO the key for crypto success is...
The biggest changes i made after a few years into crypto...
I completely stopped worrying about the fiat value...
I stopped panic selling when the price dropped....
i stopped using stop limits...
i stopped placing coins for sale...

I began wanting more coins...(after DYOR, FA is what matters most)
If the price dropped ,i would simply buy more...
if it dropped more..id buy even more...

I began valuing my crypto more than my fiat.

Once i knew the good projects, it was just a matter of hodling.
The coins are priced in fiat..fiat is unlimited in supply and growing in supply at an exponential rate...crypto isnt.

All good coins will naturally keep going up...just make sure you got plenty of them  Wink



Like now...
$12.50 SOL
Im buying Solana, its over sold and undervalued ...

So the min set of nodes that add up to the Nakamoto Coefficient on TdS is bigger then an eth2 shard Smiley
25 Mar 2021·



In the last month alone, over 50 market-ready projects launched on Solana. These included industry-leading DeFi applications, markets for NFTs, and infrastructure to support the next generation of Web 3 companies. Recent initiatives such as the Solana x Serum DeFi Hackathon saw 100+ project submissions from 3,000 builders, just as Raydium, an automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity provider built on the Solana blockchain for the Serum decentralized exchange (DEX), surpassed $160m total value locked, increasing more than 3000% in less than two months.





PRO TIP for anyone wanting to host alot of nodes and make even more huge savings by using ANKR.

ANKR is already more than 60% cheaper than its rivals...
Devs and anyone else...if you want to lower the price by 5x,10x, 100x even 1000x...buy,accumulate alot of ANKR now then use it to pay for your node services which you will be needing for the next decade or longer.  Wink
7months later...almost 100x savings, free nodes for life for those that listened  Kiss



Dont worry if you missed ANKR...

MIAMI (WSVN) - The American Airlines Arena will now have a new name: FTX Arena.

The County Commission approved a 19-year partnership with FTX to rename the home of the Miami Heat to FTX Arena.

The county approved the proposal, sponsored by Commissioner Keon Hardemon, to invest $90 million in net revenues from the partnership to go towards programs to reduce gun violence and to “expand economic prosperity for Miami-Dade residents.”

“This is a historic investment for Miami-Dade – $90 million over 19 years that we will put to use to tackle some of our most pressing challenges and build a healthier, safer community,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “We’re grateful to FTX for their investment in Miami-Dade and proud to bring this partnership home.”

FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange where customers can trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Sol is the only blockchain that will allow microtransactions on VISA USDC due to its ultra low fees.
SOL is also the fastest with the highest throughput.

IMF Silently Creates New Money Layer, Why You Need to Leave the Banks: Willem Middelkoop
26 Mar 2021







Back to Visa USDC...

https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/blog/bdp/2021/03/26/digital-currency-comes-1616782388876.html

After months of anticipation and careful planning, we completed the first successful settlement transaction this month —with Crypto.com sending USDC to Visa’s Ethereum address at Anchorage.
One small step forward for Visa’s settlement platform, one giant step forward for the integration of digital and traditional fiat currencies.
After further testing and additional conversations with clients, partners and members of the regulatory community, we hope to launch this capability for other partners in the year ahead.





So what i gather is Anchorage did a test send of USDC on ETH to a VISA ETH address...
Now they will be testing and launching on the others later this year.
Probably late Q3 for SOL going live.

Im 100% confident VISA will not use ETH due to its technical limitations and high costs
Ethereum blocks are already 99.9% full...not much use for VISA unless they pay mega fees for every tiny USDC tx.

SOL is the one they will use most...this is why Circle built around SOL.

People use VISA credit/debit cards for small daily transactions...
Only SOL lets you spend $10 to 1cent USDC , the amount doesn't matter its almost free and the receiver will always get paid instantly.



Q-
> The speed is the main attraction, able to process 50,000 TPS - yet it currently uses 1,000 TPS which if it becomes as popular as it should, will eventually hit slow issues. The comparison often comes with ETH saying that they can only do 15 TPS, but yet it says that even if let's say ETH could process 50,000 TPS it would still run less than 1,000 TPS as it's more efficient?! Very confused about this speed thing and how it is measured.

Think of it as at the 3nm claim from TSMC. It doesn't mean that the every gate on the chip is 3nm, its that the smallest feature is 3nm, and that 3nm is 2x better then 6nm. Modern day node builds our #mb-hardware-tunning discord channel have demonstrated 200k tps for the same benchmark. That doesn't mean that we can run 200k serum orders, but it does mean it's 4x better then the 50k builds, and that's just with 1 year of hardware improvements.
 Shocked


This stuff matters because nasdaq handles 500ktps load across their markets. This is the only way to really handle impermanent loss at scale for large volumes. Our goal is to keep optimizing until a nasdaq level central limit order book can run on a decentralized network. What's awesome is that every improvement we add to the runtime also increases capacity for votes, which means more validators can participate in consensus, txs are cheaper for everyone, more censorship resistance!

Well done SBF  Kiss

<---buying more SOL



https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/2021/02/24/sam-bankman-fried-the-crypto-whale-who-wants-to-give-billions-away
 As the founder of quant trading firm Alameda Research, exchange FTX and DeFi protocol Serum, the curly haired 28-year-old has amassed a $10 billion fortune in just three years in the industry.

He was the second largest donor to President Joe Biden’s campaign, after former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, tipping in $5.2 million.


“With FTX as a retail facing business the more customers the better. You can build the best  product in the world but if no one knows about it it’s not worth anything,” he says.
“One of the hardest and most interesting pieces has been figuring out how to get users, and increasing awareness was a big part of that.”

Im on it  Wink



He’s also using his wealth and influence to try and overcome what he sees as the biggest blocker preventing the wide scale adoption of DeFi. He believes that Ethereum, including Eth2 can’t scale enough to allow crypto and DeFi to replace the existing financial system. DeFi can currently handle about 10 transactions per second, with second layer solutions enabling a few thousand TPS.

“This is an absolute hard, immoveable barrier, in terms of growth,” he says. “DeFi just literally cannot grow as an ecosystem until that is addressed. And so no long-term plan that doesn’t address it is viable. […] That is just fatal.” Even Eth2’s goal of 100,000 TPS isn’t enough for what SBF has in mind.

“If your goal is to scale to 100 million or a billion users, […] if you want to have the upside of an application that might grow to the scale of the largest applications in the world, it needs to be able to scale up to about a million transactions a second. And so you can just sort of cross off the list permanently with no recourse and not even needing to consider any other factor, any scaling solution that doesn’t get there, if that’s your goal.”

That’s what led him to become one of the most vocal proponents for Solana, a blockchain that can currently process 65,000 TPS and whose team claim it can eventually scale up to astonishing levels: 710,000 TPS on a 1 gigabit link or 28.4 million TPS on a 40 gigabit link.

He founded the Serum DEX on Solana and launched the SRM cryptocurrency in August 2020. Bankman-Fried say you can see Solana’s benefits in Serum’s on chain order book matching engine and fees of “100th of a penny to send an order and trades happen in seconds.”

Totally see why he says this and agree with SBF on SOLs tech and have been very vocal for Solana.

PayPal has been tight-lipped about just which type of blockchain technology it plans to use to build this infrastructure.
Fernandez da Ponte did say that any system it adopts will have to be capable of “high throughput”
in the form of thousands of transactions per second, and noted that the company has looked at blockchains like
Ethereum, Stellar, Algorand and Solana—but emphasized that it is not endorsing any of them for now.



Interesting....with the recent Blockfolio app accepting Paypal payments

Blockfolio @blockfolio · Nov 23, 2020 CEO of PayPal, "We're going to allow cryptocurrencies to be a funding source for any transaction happening on all 28 million of our merchants."

https://blog.blockfolio.com/solana-is-the-newest-blockfolio-value-ads-partner-24a84dc0c772
“Solana is the closest thing to the ‘world computer’ blockchain developers conceptualized in the early days of crypto. While many developers have proposed sharding solutions for scaling existing layer 1 solutions, all of those solutions introduce a tremendous amount of complexity and create new user experience problems. Solana has done it differently — and is one of the most compelling layer 1 platforms we’ve evaluated to date. We’re very proud to lead this round, and we encourage developers everywhere to take a serious look at Solana.”


So.....

Customers of the cryptocurrency derivatives platform FTX can now use PayPal to top up their trading accounts.

FTX- (powered by SOL) ,  CEO Sam Bankman-Fried tweeted Tuesday that users can get "instant" payments to their accounts if they use the PayPal option.
Most currencies are supported by the payments giant, and credit card payments can also be made through PayPal, Bankman-Fried said.

 Cool

ETH now has another competitor due to insane gas price which becoming really hard for everyone. People are moving towards alternative but demand for big players growing very fast and this is pushing towards the new level. I think other blockchains will give though time in coming days.
What kind of competitor are you talking about? Binance Smart Chain or Huobi Eco Chain?
The main problem with these competitors is that they offer to use their ecosystems, which are a fork of Ethereum. We are told that this is DeFi, but there is no decentralization in these projects, because these are centralized blockchains.

Polkadot and Cardano, according to their fan bases. Cosmos coming back around as well.
Cardano will launch smart contract features in an upcoming update.
The polcadot has over 300 projects pending launch on the mainnet. But there are no more than 100 places in total.
Polcadot network can serve no more than 100 parachains; with their further increase, performance problems in the mainnet will begin.
More than 3000 projects are working on the Ethereum network.

The biggest competitor to ETH now is called SOLANA SOL.
Ive been in ETH from the start (check back in this thread to see)
and i can seriously say SOL has the best Blockchain tech in crypto today.

Look into and you will see yourself.

Solana is the most well thought through blockchain platform in the entire space. The others rushed to fill a gap by throwing together concepts hoping they stick. Solana devs went to the root of the problem, started from first principles and revisited old research on concurrency.

1/13 Today, Circle rolled out full production support for USDC on the Solana blockchain for all of our customers.
 Things brings USDC to a  fast moving ecosystem  attracting innovations in DeFi and consumer apps.

 blockchain support across all Circle products. Solana is powerful, with 50K tps and block production and settlement finality w/ in 400 ms.

5/13 More importantly, with Circle APIs, developers and businesses can take card, wire and ACH payments that settle in USDC, and swap, send and receive with Solana USDC; the inverse (redeem and catch out via wire, ACH, etc) is also true

SecretSwap is LIVE on Mainnet!
Secret DeFi is here. Now you can trade secret tokens with front-running resistance, improved privacy protections, and low cost. Start using SecretSwap now!

Secret tokens are fungible tokens native to Secret Network that are private by default,
they can represent any native or off-chain asset including Ethereum assets, thanks to our Secret Ethereum Bridge
On Secret Network, all users benefit from privacy network effects - the more usage there is of Secret Apps, the more security users gain.

SecretSwap allows users to trade any secret token for any other. It works like Uniswap or SushiSwap, but with lower costs and higher user security.

https://scrt.network/blog/secretswap-is-live-on-mainnet

 the advantage of SecretSwap lies in secret contracts and the SNIP-20 token standard.

Secret contracts allow encrypted data to be used without revealing it on a public blockchain, or even to nodes themselves.

“We have $50 million in Ethereum assets already locked as secret tokens on our network,”

BCH has a very bright future... It just needed some time to be recognized

Roger just did a great BCH and crypto interview on RT today,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2HV7knXYvw

BCH going to ATH soon and will never be this cheap ever again.
 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
When flip?
lols....its been a while, missed u guys  Tongue

Probably when you guys realise at current prices, there is more gains to be made from BCH than btc.

Past 4days BCH up around 50%
btc a couple of %

You should learn to ZOOM OUT sonny boy Grin
Will zooming out give us more gains??

Also when btc does break $50k , ill be the first to congratulate the Tether printer lols
