Go BTC and ETH all the way, lesser the risk, higher the reward

I guess you can classify these investors in 2 ways, one that is looking at crypto as another value to trade and make quick buck, and people who are in it for the long-term, people who are in it for the technology itself. And the type of people we need in order to expand the entire crypto world as what you're saying is #2.

This is also why its key for businesses to start looking at blockchain/crypto as a solution to their business needs. Existing major enterprise solutions are neither distributed (Hyperledger + Corda) nor have a focus on privacy. There is little to no progress here and these solutions are essentially just glorified databases. There's an industry-grade regulatory compliant blockchain is on to a shift by offering enterprises a real blockchain, while also using zero-knowledge technology to bring privacy to workflows that involve end-users.

This is awesome news if we're going to talk about adoption. Visa is huge and is the leading global payment solution and its great to see that they're doing this movement.

There's a industry-grade blockchain that has a mission of building a scalable regulatory-compliant blockchain ecosystem designed for the Business world. It introduces a protocol-level identity mechanism allowing for enterprises to comply with jurisdictional regulations.

The more these big companies and businesses like Visa embrace blockchain, the better.

More of my buddies who were working a full-time 9-5 jobs in the corporate world has also taken a look at crypto as investments as well. With the recent jump to $9.9k, the FOMO factor is so huge, that most of the people are already getting in.

It's also great to see companies utilizing crypto during this pandemic. There's a new app that lets COVID-19 hit businesses take crypto payments for Zoom calls. Even major digital companies now are using crypto as a way to accept money and entirely go cashless.

Yeah, I've seen several projects aiming to do cashless shopping, etc. through crypto now. This will be the new norm because of the pandemic.

It's great to see crypto projects being recognized by major companies now, similar to what Zoom did. Zoom is now using SmartLinks for ETH, BTC, and more coins soon.

Will we see bigger companies like Netflix, etc. use crypto and blockchain soon? And how will the halvening impact our exposure?

This would be huge. CZ already has a big reputation in the crypto scene and the community sees him as very successful. If ever this is real and that he wants to get CMC for $400m, that may be a bit overpriced but I think he has plans for it. Some projects are taking this route similar to AVA where they will be acquiring a private markets platform that empowers investors to manage alternative investments. The CEO and other team members will join AVA full time and all their partnerships will be merged in. Nevertheless, excited to see what Binance and CMC will both do in the future.

It's not really that the technology already has ran out of use cases, a lot of companies, even the big players are still exploring blockchain technology and how beneficial it would be for their current system. There are platforms that let anyone deploy blockchains that fit their own application needs. Build their own VM, and dictate exactly how the blockchain should operate. These features are letting the community have a free will to do what they want to accomplish using blockchain, and this is what may enable people to start the movement.

A 350k bounty is not possible at all, I think no team would want to spend that big amount of money on bounty campaigns alone. So if you ever see a project promoting this, it should already be a red flag.

I'm curious to see how this next generation Github in the blockchain works.

Emin Gün Sirer created Karma in 2003, the first cryptocurrency to use a PoW consensus mechanism. He has made considerable contributions to the earliest days of operating systems and even decentralized protocols. He went on to publish the Avalanche consensus, which is going to be implemented into AVA, a development led by AVA Labs.

I wonder what kind of questions will the people ask him, and how this blockchain builder will work.

Blockchain can 100% increase the efficiency of digital financial transactions by providing a way for users and companies to perform direct transactions without any intermediaries. This reduces the cost, increases the security of transactions and also makes the system more transparent.

The founder of Karma, the first PoW cryptocurrency launched back in 2003, discussed this topic in the CESC. But can we achieve something higher for Blockchain?

Yes, probably. We're now starting to see blockchain being looked at from these major companies. The technology behind it is irreplaceable, and it may change the way of how their business runs. There's the internet of blockchain that lets people deploy blockchains that fit their own application needs. For example, Toyota can build their own VM, and dictate exactly how the blockchain should operate. With the way how blockchain can be controlled and modified, we will see almost all companies to use it very soon.

The codebase for the distributed ledger blockchain platform developed by AVA Labs Inc., a financial blockchain infrastructure development startup, officially became open source today and was released to the global community.

The AVA network uses a specialized system that allows permissioned, or private, and public blockchains to interoperate at scale. It is also the first system to employ the Avalanche consensus protocol, which was initially developed in 2018. Avalanche is a highly scalable, quick-resolution protocol for adding transactions to a blockchain while maintaining the security of the network.

AVA Labs also announced the launch of its Developer Accelerator Program designed to foster the next generation of engagement with the project’s growing community of creators, open-source developers, bug hunters and security engineers.

"Instead of one network with thousands of tokens, the AVA ecosystem is one platform with thousands of subnetworks and tokens on each subnetwork,” said Kevin Sekniqi, co-founder of AVA Labs.

Will this system work?

They have made tremendous milestones so far but the team should also keep in mind that their efforts should continue on in order to get a successful token offering. What exchanges are they targetting?

A lot of big projects in Asia has emerged and it definitely is the biggest market to enter, especially if you're a project that is trying to raise funds.  And I think the reason why is because of countries in Asia are more crypto-friendly compared to the west. They also have developed revolutionary projects that can disrupt existing systems, like a crypto streaming platform that can rival Twitch+Netflix because of crypto integration. Projects who are aiming to help adoption will surely attract more people in the market.


It can be if Asia keeps evolving, Korea is catching up with the technology and are aiming for wide-spread adoption.

I think they're still in decision regarding what exchange they'll go for. But I agree that they should atleast be vocal to the community and tell us their plans.

Harmony has been by far one of the most successful projects of this year, and they're not stopping to make developments and progress. They even did a campaign with DAO Maker where people can work for crypto to help Harmony by creating content, tweeting, etc. With all the success that they have, ONE still takes the communities feedback into consideration and I think that's what makes them so good.

The price may be down now but I think it's normal as of this time, once BTC picks itself back up, then we should expect true alts rise back again.

Looking forward to apM's participating in the Bittrex Global event. I hope that the team can do a highlight video of the event and share it to the community, it's such a huge win for a startup.

There's definitely a couple of crypto newbies that are doing airdrops since it's their plan to do it as a part of their learning curve. But the downside of that is it may hunt them out of the scene if they ever get unlucky and participate in a scam project that failed to raise funds which in result will just stop their bounty.

If that happens, this newbies will have a bad image towards crypto and may scare them away. Though DAO Maker lets you help a well-funded project's overall progress. Tweeting an event, enabling the business side are a couple of things that reward you for. We just have the pick our sides and weigh in what has a lesser risk to minimize loss.

How is this different from other decentralized exchanges out there? There's so many of them and dex's, it's hard to know which one will go through or not.
