Just what I thought so. Lebron James will show his killer instinct and finished the Boston Celtics. Now we gonna see Cleveland Cavaliers - Golden State again. But this time Kevin Durant here will be the main difference for Golden State. Cleveland will be having a hard time matching Durant, we will see a lot of isolation / post up play by Durant, and once he's double team, he can either pass to Thompson or Curry in the wing. I'm a Lebron fans but I don't see them repeating as NBA champion this year.
Kevin Durant is a big addition to the team of Golden State Warriors. It made their team stronger though in their past games even without KD they are playing well. But for sure Lebron will have hard time to face KD in a face to face match but well this game is just about them this is a team game and everyone will need to have a good contribution. I don't think he will, Durant is not a good defender on a player that is bigger than him and obviously Lebron James is bigger and smarter player than Durant so I think Lebron will teach Durant a lesson. However, it is not a match up between the two, the warriors played a good ball movement as they played like a team, only if the big 3 on cavaliers will have a good performance they will win this series. I think the Warriors are the favorite team for obvious reasons (adding Durant) but quite honestly he didn't impress me much this first year. I would even go big and say that the Warriors actually play better without him. Now of course not having Durant is worse but I think the rest of the players lose themselves a little bit on the floor, Curry and Thompson are definitely not the same with him on court. If the Warriors can make him fit better (no comparison but Kevin Love took almost 2 years to find his best level) then they will be completely lethal in the upcoming years. As for my Cavs, they will always have a chance with Lebron on the court. |

I believed that Cleveland will make it again to the finals and become champion again as the gsw is too greed when they play Cleveland change that match see there plays they improved a lot much team work and they enjoying the game without any doubt on there opponent
The celtics just got lucky in game 3 and they won, they will not repeat what they did to the Bulls, celtics team is almost done but they still keep fighting, however it will be a sad story for the Celtics because they will have a bloodbath their home court. Most probably this series will end at 5 games. lets wait and see for tomorrow's game 5, i believe cleveland will make it to the finals again. lets enjoy the upcoming finals! good luck GSW! 😛 Tomorrow cleveland probably will end the series of 4-1 against boston celtics, without isaiah thomas they can't win over cavaliers. By the way congratulations to GSW advancing at the championship waiting for cleveland to win. I would like to see these teams to compete each other because it's not boring to watch. there's a 99 percent chance I think that its going to end tomorrow with cleveland arranging a rematch for the 3rd time. a lot of people didn't expect the celtics to steal a game in the series especially on the road with isaiah out but they did. though I don't think they would have enough left to extend this series to another game. we'll all be talking now about gsw vs cavs Most likely and judging from past performances from Cleveland at the TD Garden that the Cavs will take this game easily. The first game at the Q surprised the Cavs and even went on to a second scary couple of quarters with Lebron being on foul trouble and "lethargic" as Jefferson pointed out due to a virus. If Lebron is back and Irving continues doing what he does best then the Cavs will be ready for the Warriors. Love and Thompson have been the most regular players in these playoffs and also Shumpert improved a lot compared to the regular season. |

How is ETH integration coming along ? Will you guys add XRP?
Seamus mentioned you have a lot planned for 2017 why don't you hire a or firm & keep us informed bring in more investors ?
Sergey Ivliev mentioned Ripple on Telegram some days ago when discussing potential additions along with others. So of course this is nothing guaranteed but at least it's on the team's radar. Regarding Ethereum, they are doing the final tests and should be announced soon in the next days. There's plenty of activity on Slack and Reddit, you should drop by! Lykke is currently planning an auction in the next weeks which would be a good opportunity for bigger/institutional investors. |

Still dead. Just overbought and overhyped. Insecure, inflationary, centralized, mutable crypto will always lose to real fundamentals over time. Maybe ETC can live on I don't know. RSK gives them both a run for their money.
Rootstock! LMAO! |

Looks like it's still soaring  Maybe. Dip is within limits for another rise, but alts in general are flashing warning signals to me. My trade position is mostly USD now. Hope so there is a dip,but what i did not understand still is why is that the price of ETH and ZEC had a big rally despite i did not see any rapid changes in their protocol,is it simply because the price of bitcoin is still having a rally and now people are investing into alts or is there any specific reason for these price rises,i really cannot make any sense with all the alts rallying like this. ETH added 86 companies to EEA, including many trillion/billion ones, I think that was the main reason for this last rally besides Consensus. As for ZEC, JP Morgan is working with them in some kind of partnership, I don't know much more than that. This most likely ties with the Ethereum implementation of zSnarks/Privacy. |

We are definitely hitting maximum capacity here, I still think $200 could be in the works as we still have some days of Consensus ahead. There will be some kind of selloff as usual and we can see sub $100, I think it would settle around $100-120 before creeping up for Metropolis and other news in between (more EEA members will be announced in June, Raiden network, etc). |

What a comeback! I think that's the biggest deficit that able to cut down and eventually won the match on playoff history. Cavs just too over confident on that match. They think they can sweep the series. Well, Celtics trailed by 2 games to 0 against Chicago. Both games are on their turf. But they comeback and defeat Chicago on their turf too and able to tie the series. That's what i want to see on this series.
It was a different story. Chicago lost rondo due to an injury. The cavs are all healthy and they are better team. What was lacking in this game was lebron's presence. He is not as aggressive as he was in the first two game. Maybe he is resting or another reason. But if he gets back to his aggressive game play, I doubt celtics could win a game. Completely embarrassing loss, with plenty of things that came together, Lebron's bad game, the Cavs growing very comfortable with an early lead and yes, Thomas absence was a factor too but a positive one for the Celtics. They contained the Cavs much better in defense, Thomas is a great player but it's a complete liability at defense. The Celtics also got that irish luck on their side too with that final shot, but they really deserved this game. Hope this is a wake up call for the Cavs, the only players that took the game seriously were Thompson and Love. Lebron and Irving (he had a good game but he seems so disperse this year) need to step up and don't underestimate their rivals. |

Can people in the US use the Lykke wallet yet? I D/L'd the app, but it told me that if I lived in the US I could not use it yet? Has theat been fixed, and is there any way to invest in Lykke right now (For USAans) ahead of the wallet?
Unfortunately it's not possible for US-citizen yet to use the App. Reason is that Lykke is in regulatory processes in the USA. Once Lykke has received all needed approvals that will change of course. Lykke has a team in the USA and they give their best to get it through as fast as possible. You already have a date about the approval of lykke in U.S.A. ? No ETA yet, but also because it won't be about the whole USA at once. And it's a really complicated procedure I also don't have deep enough knowledge about. Some words about how it's done: 1) It's about single states. Some states are easier and will be faster, others are harder. 2) It's about different kinds of licenses 3) It's also about different kinds of possibilities (access to products/client experience). For the practice that means: One can think of the whole process as a roll-out over time. Citizens of the easier states will get access to Lykke earlier, those in the hardest states will have to wait longer. And there will also be differences about user experience. Some things that will be possible in the EU for example may be blocked first for US-citzen and enabled step-by-step over time. But Lykke makes good progress and the man who leads it, Michael Klena, has a lot of experience. I believe that first results will realize this summer. Thanks for the response and the commitment you have had so far in this project. I followed it from the beginning and bought lykke at $ 0.04 last summer, and I think opening in America is crucial to make it grow even faster and deep! According to your prediction, where do you see lykke in late summer and late 2017? 20,000 and 60,000 satoshi is realistic? I agree with tempus that it's hard to give predictions especially in BTC prices. If you take the past ICO price (it was around 8k sats) it hasn't moved that much, especially compared to other assets which actually pumped 4 or 5x (let alone in fiat terms). So I think that while the fiat pair can continue to rise as long as Lykke gets to be more well known and developed, the BTC pair is not so clear, I've seen LKK both gain on BTC rises and the other way around. I think Lykke is a much more stable investment compared to other projects, it's not only about token/platform usage speculation, investors are getting actual true equity in the company, something quite unique in this space. Things like offices, licenses, revenue and other assets all matter while estimating the true value of Lykke as a company. In terms of outlandish predictions or wishful thinking, someone on Reddit mentioned recently that "One day Lykke might be the stock exchange of the world. Maybe not, but maybe".  |

Golden State Warriors Vs San Antonio Spurs
Spurs are 2-0 down and needs to win at home court to have a chance of winning the finals. Warriors may have won all their games in the playoff but their opponents are not really strong. Spurs home record against Warriors was pretty good before recently Warriors managed to win at San Antonio. Spurs +7 is generous considering that Spurs won 2 out of 3 games against Warriors in the regular season. Spurs only lost their last home game this season when Warriors comeback and took the win. Therefore, I am going with Spurs +7.
Are you sure? Leonard has been ruled out of the game! I still think the Spurs could win at home but now it could be a miracle without both Leonard and Parker, it's a very risky move to bet on the Spurs, I haven't checked the odds but they should be very enticing to dive in. If the Warriors win this one the series is done also, really a bad image for the NBA when both the Warriors and the Cavs sweep every team in the playoffs without much effort... |

I'm about to buy BTC on Lykke for some coin trades on different exchanges, but the spreads are horrendous! Could someone sell their BTC there please? It's an excellent time to sell!
To be fair, spreads on Bitcoin have been crazy in many exchanges, especially after this whole Bitfinex USDT debacle in recent weeks. There were some arbitrage opportunities for sure but the way Bitcoin blockchain has been working lately (delays for up to almost 15 hours...) it's very very risky if you ask me unless you have funds in a lot of exchanges. |

What is the relationship between ANS and ANC? I hold ANS but unfamiliar with ANC.
Consider it as "dividend" of holding ANS. Also ANC is little same as "gas" in Ethrereum. More in Whitepaper  So do I get ANC because I hold ANS? Yes ANC would be the currency of the platform basically, also similar to Factom and entry credits or most recently Gnosis and WIZ. The platform will have fiat gateways so it's not that you need ANC to register an asset either, but they will be burnt AFAIK and return to a pool to be distributed again to ANS holders. What is the relationship between ANS and ANC? I hold ANS but unfamiliar with ANC.

The platform will have fiat gateways so it's not that you need ANC to register an asset either, but they will be burnt AFAIK and return to a pool to be distributed again to ANS holders. I checked ANC is always needed to create asset (Extra Service Charge Collected by Antshares Holders). Fiat can be used for accounting charge (or it can be completely without charge) instead, so this applies after asset is created (e.g. credit points) and data is written within asset in bulk amounts so it can be charged free/fiat/anc. Then it says also, "Extra service charge will not be collected by anyone, but destroyed immediately and back to undistributed status. Through the distribution of ANC, they will ultimately be re-distributed
to all ANS holders proportional to their shares." vs. "In the first year (Block No. 0-No. 2,000,000), 8 ANC will be generated by every new block. In the second year (Block No. 2,000,000-No. 4,000,000), 7 ANC will be generated by every new block. With this pace of decrease (-1 ANC per year), in the 8th year, only 1 ANC will be generated by every new block. This 1-block-1-ANC pace will continue since then, till the 44,000,000th block in the 22nd year, fulfilling the 100 million total sum of ANC. ANC shall cease to be generated after that." I am not sure if we have contradiction here because how ANC can be ultimately re-distributed without "double-issuance". After the last block fulfils the total amount of 100 million ANC, we should have ANC exiting/exited from circulation (through Extra service charge) and marked to undistributed status. On the other hand generation/distribution/issuance (are these the same(?) concept) "period" has ended so shall these destroyed ANC die off growingly or do we have another generation/distribution/issuance system as well? I'm speculating since I'm not a dev and not chinese so information is a little hard to understand. What I think is that the platform will accept fiat gateways and will charge customers with fiat kinda like Factom charges their customers in entry credits (which are around $0.001 I think per credit). This will burn the equivalent amount of ANC needed to register an asset or other functions. I'm guessing if you hold ANC you can use the platform directly too but the exchange itself could be more complicated (again similar to Factom). |

Cavs have no match, wow, game 2 cavs will win
What do you mean by Cavs have no match? They don't have no match against Boston or they don't have an upcoming match? Well if you are pointing out about their next game, it's on Saturday. It's a crowd favorite that Cavs will win and they are the ones that will face in the finals with Golden State Warriors. It means that no team can match the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. I thought no one will noticed that post as it's like a spam post for me. No doubt that it is likely the rematch of Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in the finals. But still, Im hoping that the current West match will surprise us if ever Kawhi Leonard will back. It's unusual if we see San Antonio Spurs being sweep in a series. I'm waiting to see if there will be an impact if Kawhi Leonard is going to play again versus Golden State Warriors. But it's look like these playoffs is already decided by many of us. We are seeing those teams that has the potential to play again for this seasons finals. It will be a shame if Spurs will lose and will lose for consecutive games even with Kawhi. We can already conclude what is the impact of kawhi in game because he already show us what he can do on game 1 by overpowering GSW and lead 26 points before he injured. Well that's a good help for the team but with the recovery he is on right now. Still the impact of that injury is there and I'm pretty sure that his medical staff will not allow him to play for the best or will advice that he has an injury and don't let it be injured again by Zaza. I want to see them play hard core with GSW. Your guy all talking about Kawhi Leonard's injury, why don't we discuss a little about Isaiah Thomas injury against Cleveland Cavaliers early. Absolutely huge blow if he can't continue playing the next game for Boston Celtics, being the strongest player in the team and might not play for the rest of the series. Why don't Boston Celtics just call it a season? Because right now, they're so damn ugly. That's a fake injury, my humble opinion, he just didn't want to be on the court anymore. I've never seen such a blowout in my whole life, we have to consider that these are the conference finals not a back to back game at the end of the season. The way the Cavs dismantled the Celtics was scary as if they were amateurs players, at a legendary home court like the Garden. And to be fair, there's a difference in talent between the squads but these last two games were a little too much, I don't understand why the Celtics imploded this badly. |

So 10MM Tokens were sold for 10MM USD, correct? I cannot find a lot of information on the website blockchain.capital. Can someone explain to me:
Do the developers keep any coins for themselves?
Do they have the ability to issue new tokens?
If the answer to both questions is "no": What is the incentive for the project creators to manage that fund?
Thanks!
Yes 10 million were raised, ICO price was $1 per BCAP token. 1) No. 2) Technically yes I think but I'm not a dev, I don't see the point in that though. 3) Most funds have a percentage fee on profits and performance. |

So what benefits/use do people get from buying this coin? Other than equity in the company
Lykke is aiming to be a big community and market so LKK could be used as an internal currency too in the future, but as you said it mostly represents digital shares in the company. But please excuse me, I must say that your question is a little strange, as if getting equity, shareholder rights, voting, dividends and so on are not enough. There's nothing special to LKK as a token or unit compared to a project like Ethereum which is gas for a smart contract platform. What's special about Lykke is its product, service and people behind it. You certainly don't need LKK to be part of it or use the system. |

Guys, I was thinking if you can add coinmarketcap to pull prices from? I know there are plenty of options for exchanges but coinmarketcap gives you a nice average and there are a lot of coins that are not available on Blockfolio but are listed on coinmarketcap. Just an idea, thanks and keep up the amazing work as usual!

Boston is currently holding the advantage for being the top seed on the east that's why I don't see boston as an underdog on this game even though cavs are overpower. Boston still have chance to win once isiah thomas break the chain of his guard. He just need to focus and find some space to attack. A sweep game is not entertaining especially for conference finals game.
Just accept the reality mate. Boston Celtics eventhough they hold the top seed of the East doesn't mean they are prone for being an underdog here against the Cavaliers. Im agree to the above poster that I don't see any way for Celtics to win. Honestly, I doubt Celtics can sweep Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors but Cavaliers did. What chain are you talking about Isiah Thomas? The team is not always about focusing on the main player. Remember CAVS vs SAS finals game? I can compare it to the current Eastern Conference Finals. It may not be entertaining but it's the cold reality. The Cavs are miles better than the Celtics, they proved that in the last encounter of the season (the Cavs won by almost a 30 point margin) and they proved it again yesterday, they are on another level completely. Lebron is also toying with his defenders, it's not even funny. Even with a poor 3pt shooting performance (besides Kevin Love and Frye when he entered the game) the Cavs completely obliterated the Celtics at home. I think the second game will be a little different though but I'll still give the Cavs the advantage and an rather easy win. Then they will most like close out the series at the Q and wait for the West finalist. Now that's another story, I feel that if the Spurs can get Leonard back they have a real chance of tying the series. |

Hi, just sent 4 BCAP tokens to MyEtherWallet but the balance says 0 BCAP, any ideas? thanks in advance
Just keep checking etherchain for confirmation, Ethereum network is running a little slower these days as it broke all kinds of records for transactions. Did you send them from Liqui? That could take a little longer than usual if so since the exchange will clear it first. |
