So apparantly, there's going to be a centralized platform to be built on top of waves decentralized platform - nice middleground. http://tokenomica.com/ Which is to help with the legal framework of ICOs. I think this will be a really nice feature towards making this industry more professional and reduce the amount of Shit ICOs we're seeing flooding the market. Might even provide Waves with the competitive edge it needs. |

Hello, I'm thinking about putting some BTC on OmiseGO but I noticed that there's another project aiming to do similar things; Humaniq.
OmiseGo has received allot of hype but it seems that they don't actually have anything functioning yet.
I'm wondering if it is actually a good buy, it's hyped beyond measurement but there's no concrete evidence to back up all this.
Meanwhile Humaniq seems to be publically doing more than OmiseGO.
Now please don't tell me to go with both; I kind of want to make this an if/or kind of thing, what do you recognize would be a solid investment? OmiseGo has a wallet coming out this quarter or some kind of infrastructure that will allow it to be accessed by ''all'' but I wonder if this coin's hype can backlash. I think allot of people have settled on OmiseGO as a monthly reinvestment (averaging) in the hopes of skyrocket prices like Ethereum. Speaking about Ethereum Vitalik seems to always wear OmiseGo t-shirts.
Though I get a vibe from humaniq that's more professional and makes progress faster. Though this doesn't mean that Humaniq will be anywhere Omise is now. So I thought maybe you guys could help shed some light on the subject so I can make a better decision.
Shoot away all that you think/speculate and hope for, be critical or shill out I don't care. Just want to hear some different perspectives.

So I watched a video of mr. Antonopolous (several) first thing I'd like to mention that he's quite brilliant and an avid public speaker. He made me think differently about several things already. Such as money being a means of communication.
Now in one of his video's he talked about Greshmam's law which means that when a less valueable currency is introduced or circulating the more valueable currencies, the ones with more intrinsic value will start being used less thus effectively removing them from circulation. Cause why spend a silver dime when you can use a dime of nickel for the same item?
Silver having more intrinsic value, most likely more value than what is stamped on the dime as what its supposedly worth. Are we seeing the same with Bitcoin? It is ment as a currency but it is becoming more and more like an asset. Most people don't recommend spending Bitcoin at all, thus we effectively remove it from circulation whilst giving up the things we see as less valueable such as paper money. Are we seeing Gresham's law in effect with Bitcoin? I don't consider it to be bad or good, but unsure of the consequences, in my own reasoning I then see Bitcoin become more valueable in the future because we already attach a certain value to this and recommend getting rid of the less valueable currencies to save the ones we really favor. Now you can't use the silver dime to buy goods anymore (USA 60's-70's?) but you can sell the silver to someone who collects it/saves it or a bullion for more than what you could have bought with it in the 60's-70's(?).
Are we seeing Gresham's law in effect with Bitcoin. But what does this mean then for circulating currencies such as dollars and euro's? Surely they won't vanish because we save our bitcoin, they keep circulating? Same as what happened with silver and paper in the USA 60-70's(?).

In the eye of this section being pre-dominantly focussed on chewed out philosophical debates such as money and happiness or the definition of relationships and virtue's such as luck. I thought it would be interesting to delve into a gem of greek philosophy which are plato's 5 forms of regimes. Which not only address certain types of government but also strike a finer point still revelent today as seen in the second form of regime of plato which is timocracy. Now in the ideal regime of aristocracy plato divides the population into categories based on the purity of their soul. Golden souls are the selfless types, the ones who have turned the mind into an effective tool of reason and logic and understand that money, power and other degenerative pleasures like that are a fool's pleasure. A person with a golden soul can be seen as a King philosopher, the ultimate governer who acts out of selfless interests and with purity of the heart. Making balanced decisions that may truely benefit all. Then there are the silver souls who can be regarded as a nations soldiers and enforce the rules set by the philosophers on the population with bronze or iron souls. Bronze and Iron souls are allowed to have property whereas silver and gold are not so in order to ensure these pure men do not become corrupted by false pleasures. The Iron and Bronze souls in return for their merit to sustain themselves, own land, produce goods have to support their ruling class.
A good example of a man with a golden soul who's accomplished in philosophy would be King Solomon.
Where am I going with this you might ask? Plato set the five regimes as inherently connected to eachother. Each following regime is a degenerative of the pervious one, democracy is the 4th regime and after democracy the regime would degenerate into Tyranny. Plato asumed democracy where freedom is the main good is also its slavery. As the poor classes become larger and larger a state very similar to anarchy starts to reign as people start breaking laws. The democratic man as stated by Plato is consumed by uncessary desire (sound familiar?)
The democratic man takes great interest in his money and all the things it can buy and does whatever he wants, whenever he wants aslong as money stretches his needs. There is no order and no priority. The degeneration of morals and ethics.
Now you starting to see why Plato's five regimes are still very relevant today. Where in democracy there is a rat race for riches and to be ''excused'' from wordly obligations to pursue pleasures and desire. Democracy then soon degenerates into Tyranny.
And in Tyranny chaos reigns, there is no discipline. Democracy was taken over by the longing of freedom. In Tyranny stability trough power must be maintained and along comes a champion that experiences absolute power, the champion soon transforms in a tyrant and comes closest to be fully lawless. Murdering and plundering at will. Such a man is consumed by beastly desires, whether rich or poor, his lawless actions ensure his claim of power and he becomes absorbed by paranoia in fear of reteliation for the many unlawfull acts he has commited. Eventually he becomes secluded, trapped within an envoirment like his house, trapped in his own fearfull mind.
How close do you think we are to this tyrannic event? We have already seen a democracy such as Turkey degenerate into tyranny led by Erdogan who has no problem accusing innocent of consipiring against him and is slowly turning into this tyrant as prophesized by Plato.
Blockchain technology and financial freedom to do whatever and where ever we want is clearly illustrated by Plato to be one of the urges for freedom which ironically is also our own slavery. Plato provides no solution and sees this as a natural effect where the uneducated masses driven by their wordly desires and urges for quick pleasure take over. The 5 regimes starting with the only one that could ever really work a selflessman who is wise and educated in philosophy aka the philosopher king slowly degenerates into illusionary governing models where the unwise and uneducated become imprisoned by their own actions and desires.
Is Plato wrong? Or are we indeed kidding ourselves? Is it to late to prevent a tyrannical event from happening? Where society slowly dissolves into Chaos? Are there better types of governing? Is this all natural order and such as the philospher king who is detached from wordly outcomes and emotions, who can remain rational and logical at all times should we do the same and watch as the world slowly burns itself around us?
We can see very clearly that democratized countries such as India where rapes are occuring astounding figures. In countries like the US where mass shootings, race violence and other events are a day to day reality. Where in Europe the spree of shootings and terrorist attacks seem to increase every day. Is this not the democratic anarachy like state that plato predicted any democratic state or country would end up with. Resulting in a need of order and the rise of a tyran?
Has plato predicted our doom? Democracy as most can agree isn't the best form of governing but it is better than most, is it? The second regime of Plato which is timocracy can be defined by the bronze souls overthrowing the philosopher kings, where now as opposed to the aristocracy the ruling classes are able to act upon individual pleasures and desires.
Which is a direct degenartive of the 1st regime where the ruling classes are supported by the plebs and cannot pursue individual interests and desires.
If we would stop democracy now we would most likely end up with a timocracy or a medieval kingdom fueled by feudalistic models.
If we don't stop democracy will we see tyranny reign? Will the world be nothing more than a race of arms, never ending desire for power, money and murder?

Chase Bank invests in Bitcoin due to high customer demand, a lot of ICO's are starting to get funded by private/angel investors.
Several existing currencies/foundations such as Cardano are moving towards becoming a regulatory body within the cryptospace completely legalized.
Several others are also looking towards getting more legal support and make ICOs a professional and serious business.
Regulatory bodies existing within countries like the USA, China and others are starting to take it more serious now that its a billion dollar market.
Though I don't think ICOs will last long and that this term will soon be upgraded and transformed. (Private sale - accredited investors only; public sale with finished product only).
Can't agree with the exclusivity but we still live in capatilism, that means concentrated wealth and opportunity.
There's going to be a big boom coming, there are a lot of copycats that will jump on board if a bank like Chase does.
I feel 2018 will be the year of corporate adoption, with 2020 being the most likely year for consumer adoption.
By 2030 the financial and corporate landscape might be unrecognizable comparing to how it is now.
I think Middleground will be found and centralisation will go hand in hand with decentralisation and soon it will be the norm of infrastructures.
What do you think? Cause I for sure find this scenario very plausible within a very short period. Get a hold of what you can really...

As someone who has tried Forex, I'm just starting to notice how awesome decentralisation really is and other reasons obviously.
- I can cash whenever I want
- I can move funds where and whenever I want
- I don't have to answer to some jerk who would love to see me fail so I buy back in 10x
- There are a lot of places I can already spend it (sometimes buy food with BTC)
I actually feel somewhat financially free with Bitcoin even though I don't have large sums of it.

Here is a boy (Livanelli) from the Netherlands who started trading in 2015 The video says it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ81wb-7jZAEnjoy this little segment of a cryptotrader. He said in an interview that he starts every morning with making his bed as an act of discipline. He also doesn't eat sauces and only eats with knife and fork, no spoon. (except for soup). |

I take screenshots of Coinmarketcap every now and then so that after 10 years I can make a post on this forum and shock everyone with all the bargains that we're available then.
Anybody else do this for fun?

I kind of want a semi-fast transaction like up to 20-30 minutes, I started playing around with the fee's on electrum wallet and I can't set it back to default and I'm lost >.>

Hello,
I am currently running an electrum wallet and honestly the fee's are trough the roof. For an average transaction speed I'm looking at about 12 dollars, which is insane.
Are there wallets with lower fees?

Can't find any info online and their website is down to me. Haven't been able to connect to it for a couple of days.
Anyone like to explain a bit what RADS is?
