I would not go within 100 meters of that "coin". Most of what the Ripple team are developing have nothing to do with the currency itself, which is terribly centralised anyway.

I think that there are several NEO based exchanges such as NEX and Switcheo, but I am really waiting for Spotcoin that will pair everything with fiats.

Privacy focused coins are very much valued by the community but they have and will have many problems with the regulators, so keep than in mind when defining your strategy.

Please help me understand the thoughts of people who actually want (for example) $20 Billion Dollars. Depending on where you live, wouldn't $5M be about enough?


.....


So be very careful with what you wish for cuz maybe, when you become a gazillionair, you'll find out that you're not such a good guy after all.
I already know that I am not a "good guy", money would just make me even more happy of not being so.

Gentlemen, I suggest you look into the story of Hetty Green if you're not already familiar with her.  She basically lived the life of a miser, living in an old apartment in New Jersey whilst being one of the richest people on Wall Street.

Everything depends on your standard of living, and it's that standard that determines whether $5 billion or $5 million would be enough to live comfortably.  Some people just cannot stop spending money, and they buy the best of everything until they have nothing left.  Remember Ken Lay of Enron fame?  He was earning tens of millions of dollars A YEAR, and it still wasn't enough to support his lifestyle.

So yeah, for me $5 million would be waaaay more than enough to live like a pimp.  $20 bln would be overkill.

That´s a famous case yes. Oh... some people just can´t avoid spending money. In my case, I just can avoid earning it  Grin Cool

Guys, we are all so poor that our dreams don´t extend beyond "a few millions". There are things out there that are really cool and cost much more. Not that I know of many, but if you want to f*king cry go here

See... confortable middle class now looks terribly boring, don´t you think?
Ooh please even the most expensive is not even up to a billion dollar.
We talking of 20 billion here.

I would love to have my own archipielago  Grin

I didn't mean insurance of investment as it may seem.Of course nobody can guarantee success of the project.  I wanted to say  that if resource publish ICOs, advertize and have profit it would be good if this publisher/web site put some effort and spend some ernings to check what is published in order to minimize scam and fraud. Itcould be even prepayed access in order to cover spendings on ICO research. It could be premium ICOs data "storage" but with checked data and not only based on words and colorful ads.

You mentioned compensation - it is pretty much a definition of insurance.

If there is money to be made by providing such service then somebody will provide it. I wouldn't hold my breath though. There is a lot more money to be made by providing shilly "reviews" and it will continue as long as greed and stupidity continues to drive the whole ICO shitshow.

That type of service exists already of course. Many law firms , lots of them, are specialised in performing "Due Diligence". Scams were not born with cryptos, they happen even in large company merges and acquisitions, typically with false audits or hidden debts.

Does the OP think that whales invest without DD?

However, it is obvious that you (nor me for that matter) have enough resources to pay for that, but there is no justification for not doing at least the very basic research on a project.

Not that many extend the deadline, you may have been unlucky. But it is your choice to continue or not, it is not fair I know, but you can always go to another.
5129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you investing in Qurrex? on: May 26, 2018, 08:14:13 PM
I agree, this is a cool project to be in. I think it is very likely to be one of the best ICOs of the season and they have a huge community waiting for news.

You don´t loose if you don´t sell and this market has lots of up and downs. Just hodl in there and you will eventually recover and even make plenty of profit.
5131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Now that the EOS ICO is finished ETH will suffer? on: May 26, 2018, 08:08:33 PM
Now that EOS has finished a year long ICO, are they going to sell all the ethereum they have and thus make the price go down? Will this be an opportunity to buy cheap?

La ICO acabará pronto y el equipo comenzará el desarrollo. No te olvides que luego puede ser tarde.

Grandes asesores, buena promoción y sobre todo un modelo económico realista con un caso de uso muy concreto y cotidiano.

Guys, we are all so poor that our dreams don´t extend beyond "a few millions". There are things out there that are really cool and cost much more. Not that I know of many, but if you want to f*king cry go here

See... confortable middle class now looks terribly boring, don´t you think?

Some of those look very affordable, like only an order of magnitude more than a house in a decent neighborhood. What's the catch? No high-speed internet? Commute 100 miles by boat? Island-owners association fees?

Stupid question: what stops your island being invaded?
On a more realistic point if your island is just off a country, the country gets taken over (say it's a hostile country) can your island be forfeited - I suppose this is the same as regular land.

Therefore, once you buy your island, you might need to employ guards or people to patrol it - unless you make a network of tunnels and just hide below the surface forever but that's not a great idea (you might end up stranded).

$72M isn't that bad for an island.

I would assume that despite being private it's still part of some country like a regular private plot of land in some suburb and not a sovereign entity. So I shouldn't need to have my own army. But it probably implies another catch: taxes, particularly property taxes.





Yes of course, you own the island, but it is not your own country. If someone invades your Island in, lets say, Dubai, they are effectively breaking the law of Dubai.

The affordable ones are in cold areas of Canada or in the middle of nowhere or you probably cannot build there... The cheapest one is like 250k or so...
5136  Other / Serious discussion / Why EOS is actually killing the market on: May 25, 2018, 11:10:28 AM
I recently read a report by a trustable source the indicates how EOS, after sucking value from Ethereum during a year, has been selling large amounts to finance its operations and development. The only difference with the rest of the ICOs is the scale.

Just take a look at EOS account and how ETH is routinely sent to Bitfinex, sometimes indirectly. We are talking of several k ether at the time.

https://etherscan.io/address/0x546e864100513cbc499753a8d0e5962a598876b7

https://etherscan.io/address/0xfe652ea0bf0ab6085704c86912661ac914af0852

This is an example of the wall that is keeping the market low, due to companies that launch ICOs but don't really support crypto.

5140  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: Factura 5 Billones por trimestre... ¿Qué burbuja dices que hay aquí? on: May 24, 2018, 09:08:36 PM
Las tarjetas de criptodivisas tienen un gran camino por recorrer, pero el gran salto lo darán cuando cuenten con infraestructura propia. Actualmente todos los proyectos que conozco funcionan sobre la infraestructura de Visa o Master card.  

Todos no, creo que PundiX busca trabajar con terminales propios y la verdad es que es un problema muy fácil de resolver. Si tu tienes un smartphone y el vendedor tiene otro es tan fácil como que tengais una app que le pague en criptodivisas. Tïpicamente el te presenta un codigo QR tu lo escaneas, pulsas pagar con la criptodivisa que quieras, el recibe confirmación y todos a bailar la conga. Vamos, tecnología de hace 5 años.
