1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][COMP] Compound Coin - 250% Interest Proof of Stake - Listed on 4 Exchanges on: September 29, 2020, 03:42:40 PM
The amount of DAI supplied in the Compound protocol is now approximately 1.2 billion $ worth, while the total supply of DAI is only 900 million $.

The only way for this to happen is when people are using compound to borrow DAI, while supplying the same DAI back in the protocol in order to get the COMP rewards. They are essentially lending to themselves.

And of course it works like this, because the product doesn't make sense.

If people get a loan with their house as collateral, this makes sense. Because a house is an illiquid asset and you can use the money to do whatever you want to do while still living in your house. However, with compound you are literally loaning a liquid asset with another liquid asset. If i have ETH and i need DAI i can just go to Uniswap and swap some DAI.

The ONLY practical use case for Compound borrowing is for people who want to over-leverage themselves to crypto assets - you keep one asset but buy another one too with the borrowed money. But there are tons of centralized options for that too, and the maximum leverage you can achieve is no more than 1.75x because you need to over-collateralize.

There is no way this market is worth 350 million dollars. The value proposition for COMP is sketchy at best.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] [VIB] Viberate | Decentralized Music Talent Marketplace on: August 17, 2020, 07:52:22 AM
Funny that Viberate Founder & CEO does not know what his platform is about. In the article he claims it to be "live music platform", but i reality where is "live" on this platform? This is just a huge database with info about artists, venue and events.

Yes, you can listen "live", or better say "online" a short demo from spotify. Or you can watch a music clip - but still it is from YouTube.

Also just noticed, that this topic is named "Decentralized Music Talent Marketplace". What is Marketplace for? Viberate simply redirect user to a webpage where they can buy tickets for events. This doesn't mean that Viberate is a marketplace, it simply redirects...

You can be sure that our CEO knows what's his product is all about. We call it a "live music platform" because we are focusing on live music events and performances. By joining the artists, venues, and event organizers into this huge "database" we enable them to network, analyze, research, book a live show, and much more. You can say it's a marketplace for music talents.




To be fair 'marketplace' indicates that something is being sold, but that is not the case. Which is also why the token is basically worthless.
Database is fine, network is fine, but don't call it a marketplace unless you are actually selling something.
3  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Warning - Bcecoin Plagiarized Whitepaper and use stolen content on: July 17, 2020, 11:51:04 AM
The whitepaper literally says it was formerly DNET, you know what else used to be DNET? PIVX used to be called Darknet
If it was really a new project this part makes absolutely no sense. But it does, because this is a scam.

Furthermore, they mention something of an exchange on the BCE website, but there is nothing that even remotely relates to an economic model.
Again, this project is clearly a scam.

DO NOT INVEST IN THIS!
