7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN][ICO] Why do we need to postpone the Main Sale for HELIX Orange? on: September 13, 2018, 09:12:36 AM
We at HELIX Orange announced to start our Main Sale on the 13th September 2018. And we were quite confident to proceed as we had a couple of insights saying that the crypto market should rebounce after the summer break and with a couple of encouraging news about much more mature great blockchain projects that are in funding round right now. However, we are sorry to say that the market is not in the condition to start our Main Sale with the given perspective on the Ethereum price. We analyzed the market with our analysts as much as possible and spoke to insiders and exchanges about the mood and the prediction for the next weeks. As an ICO has a lot to do with marketing activities and a vision to attract retail investors and crypto enthusiasts, we need to postpone our activities with the public token offering for the benefit and protection of our current investors.

So what does that mean?
First of all, we highly believe in ICO as the new investment method for startups and companies. As ICOs today are highly dependent on the Ether price, there are some background information that lead to our decision.

First of all, we see that the hype around ICOs from November 2017 and February 2018 lead to huge funding of immature projects that struggle with the investors expectations. The analysis of Santiment (https://app.santiment.net/) shows, that we have a high exchange rate of these fundings back into fiat currency in September 2018. Last week it was about 153.500 ETH. The reason is fairly easy, those project are losing a lot of liquidity with the decrease of the ether and they need to pay their bills. The problem is that the amount of Ether coming from these sources is huge. Regarding Santiment it is about 3 mio. ETH and even if the biggest part will hold the Ethers, there is still a rush out of crypto.

Are ICOs dead now?
For sure not. We see that a lot of projects are still successful and we see that the underlying Blockchain technology is hitting the industry worldwide to solve real world problems and we see that the money that is spend into Blockchain projects is increasing very fast. The Blockchain part coming from the industry and the ICO world need to find a common ground and that is a recalibration of the market. HELIX Orange is the ideal platform to bring all parties that want to establish a sustainable ecosystem together. So the future for us is bright and every talk that we have shows us the huge need in the market for HELIX ID and a trustful interaction.

What is HELIX Orange doing now?
Postponing the Main Sale does not mean that we sit down and wait. We are doing a lot of partnerships at the moment. We are talking to different exchanges and will announce a couple of great things very soon. We even work on new alliances that brings our vision to become the leading Identity Provider much closer to reality. On the other hand we are talking to many institutional investors and funds at the moment that share our mindset on we are delighted by the support of our community.

When will the Main Sale happen then?
We are observing the market with a very sharp analytic eye and every slight indication for a rebounce will get us in the Main Sale process again. We will keep you updated on our different social media channels that we highly encourage you to participate.

What happens to my investment?
No worries, everything is in place and HELIX Orange is one of the strongest project in the ICO market. But since we are dealing with ICOs in a twofold sense, our own ICO and the ICO platform as our main product, we need to react on market conditions. All funds are 100% saved by our partner bitGO in a high secure multisig wallet.

Can I contribute to HELIX Orange?
Yes, you can. Get in contact with us on our telegram channel (https://t.me/helixorange) and we connect you with our sales team to discuss.

Can I support HELIX Orange?
We are focussing on building up our community even more and we strongly believe in the power of the crowd. If you want to become a part of HELIX Orange - Generation ICO, talk to us. We have community involvement and bounty campaigns on our top priority list.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN] ICO Market Prediction: Does history repeat itself? on: September 05, 2018, 10:10:07 AM
INTRODUCTION

The ICO market is seeing an unforeseen decline in demand in the last 2 months, and the reasoning behind this has been discussed at length. Coinschedule[1] reports that the total amount raised by ICOs has been the lowest in the month of July this year. Parallely, falling ETH and BTC prices, and increasing volatility of the prices have led to a massive frustration among upcoming ICO projects and new crypto investors. Market manipulation by crypto whales, scandals by exchanges such as Bithumb and Upbit, and regulatory concerns across the globe are some of the reasons[2] that have led to this frustration. Unavailability of a common valuation[3] methodology is often sighted as a reason for high volatility of ETH and BTC, since then prices are more driven by sentiment than fundamentals.

https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.html

HYPOTHESIS

The obvious question that comes to crypto-enthusiasts’ mind is “Where are we going from here? How long will this trend last?” In this highly unpredictable scenario one can but only hypothesise. The hypothesis I propose is that market is going to resurge in the forthcoming months, and the associated market prediction is based on the following factors:

1.Historical Events
2.Institutional Investors
3.The Dunning-Kruger Effect

EXPLANATION

1. Historical Events

At times like these it is often prudent to observe history and collate reasonings for past events. It is clear that we are dealing with a crypto-market re-correction phase, and we have seen quite a few patches of re-corrections this year. The current ETH price has closed towards the annual historic minima, given that around 15 August last year the ETH was around 289 USD, and a year hence, the price is around 282 USD. One inference that can be drawn from this trend is a completion of one (or the first) cycle of investment fueled by the euphoria surrounding ETH and ICO projects (most of which were based on the Ethereum platform). The rationale behind such an inference is a notion that the experimentation phase of early crypto investors is over and the investment cycle that follows hence will be more driven by fundamentals and project quality than frenzy and Fear of Missing Out.

A parallel and obvious comparison can be done to the dot-com-bubble. Considering the fallout of the dot-com-bubble of 1995–2000 we saw a change in behavior among VCs and investment banks. The dot-com-bubble started off with VCs investing in any company with a “.com” as its website suffix, ended with a burst, and was followed by VCs being very diligent in their assessments and investing in only legit high-tech start-ups, backed by real technological innovation or novel use-cases. Similarly, it is believed crypto VCs and investors will now be more wary of the ICO projects’ underlying value proposition than ever before. There’s going to be a widening and clear distinction between high-end projects and fraud ICOs and what this can translate to is a resurgence of optimism for ICO ecosystem as a whole and a subsequent upward pressure on ETH prices due to increase in demand and positive market perception.

2. Institutional Investors

Another noteworthy aspect of current on-goings in crypto space is the increasing involvement of institutional investors such as JP Morgan[4], whose CEO, Jamie Dimon, had changed his outlook[5] towards blockchain technology in the beginning of this year. There’s an article[6] by Forbes explaining clearly why there will be massive involvement of big institutional players in the crypto space. For example, Liechtenstein’s Union Bank has recently started its own stable coin called UBSC[7]. Regulators across the globe (especially the United States and South Korea[8]) are becoming aware of the pervasiveness of cryptocurrencies and tokens. The market for crypto-derivatives and crypto-ETFs is also showing traction. In addition to this, major financial institutions like Börse Stuttgart[9] and Intercontinental Exchange are starting to offer custody solutions. Among many experts this is seen as potentially the biggest game changer in enabling investments by professionals and institutional investors.

3. The Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Dunning-Kruger effect is premised on the interdependency of the level of knowledge (in this case: experience) with the amount of confidence portrayed (in this case: market perception or ETH price). Although the Dunning-Kruger effect is often used “on-post” to explain bubble phenomena, it is harmless to use it in the current context.

In the Dunning-Kruger graph, we can find ourselves in the local minima of post realization phase. Psychologically, major chunk of early entrants in any disruptive idea or system will be more attracted by the surrounding noise than the core ideology or technology. What this means is that by now investors have gained enough experience with ICOs to be able to distinguish the good from the bad ones, and with this comes more certainty and confidence in a selected few projects. I believe the next few months will most likely see a slow and stable growth in both ICO investments and price of major cryptocurrencies. This can explain why there would be a bigger push for a more mature market, and this is where HELIX Orange comes in.

HELIX Orange is a blockchain driven ICO platform which brings the best ICO projects and KYC/AML cleared investors together. We support such a development in the market in months to come since we believe we are bringing trust back to the market.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

CONCLUSION

It is prudent to perceive the current bearish trend positively for the longer scheme of things and for the overall widespread adoption of blockchain technology. ICOs are definitely here to stay, but only the qualified ones will eventually succeed. In short, yes, history will most likely repeat itself. As far as geographical demand trends are concerned, the following are some of the recent events which substantiate to these claims.

The emergence of STOs[10] will democratize investments and will only improve upon the underlying blockchain technology. This will have a highly positive impact in the market in days to come, although these are early days for STOs.
Countries with weakening local currencies might force regional investors to move towards crypto. Possible examples can be Turkey, Brazil, Argentina
Regulators in Asian countries are starting to loosen up their stance on crypto regulations, one instance being that of South Korea[8]

COUNTER-CONCLUSION

The above arguments can be affected by an inherent latency and inertia exhibited by market participants. The case may arise that the drivers of current prices are factors such as political decisions or even outright market manipulation. In such a scenario the current bearish trend might continue in an unpredictable manner. From a fundamental view, the economic value provided by digital assets they might still be completely overrated and correction is by far not over yet. Investors who have suffered massive losses over the last months will not want to return to put their money in crypto and accordingly demand can diminish. Wealth in crypto is even more densely distributed than in fiat which might keep institutional investors away from entering the market.

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN] A Review: My Lessons Learned on: September 04, 2018, 12:33:13 PM
I have been asked why we started Blockchain HELIX and what is the background that drives us to change the way we deal with our Identity Data.

I am working in the IT business since more than 15 years starting way back then with a project as my master thesis for Deutsche Telekom called InterBOX that should have integrated all the TV audience into a digital communication channel with personalized accounts. At that time, it was an approach that was heavily related to bandwidth and modulation optimization. Those days nobody cared about security and WEB 2.0 was not yet born. I remember discussing with the project manager about using TCP/IP instead of going for teletext/BTX.

The project failed as Germany got united and Deutsche Telekom started a huge infrastructure program in the eastern part of Germany with a fibre network that should be inactive for the next 20 years as consumer broadband internet went for copper. As a former state owned company, Deutsche Telekom had no competitor. Lesson learned №1: Big companies do not act based on innovation but on political or economic demand.

Later I was implementing a couple of projects about big communities, HR and Awards. Getting business models from different verticals into digital processes was fun and underneath we integrated user accounts as everybody at that time. It was the beginning of WEB 2.0 and users got flooded with user accounts from all the different websites. That lead to hundreds of accounts with personal data and long forgotten passwords and access. The winners in that race are the over the top platforms mainly from US companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon (called GAFA) and lately Alibaba from China. The approach is fairly simple and goes back to the nineties with Single-Sign-On (SSO) capability. Beside the SSO technology they introduced a business model about monetizing private user data in exchange to commodity or the social pressure to be part of a worldwide community. That is why we can call this a platform centric design. The user is faced with terms & conditions that are not readable for a common person. Knowing about the sensibility and the importance of privacy and the need for self sovereign data coming from our german modern history I am a true believer that personal data should belong and be controlled by the individual itself. I personally do not believe that Google, Apple, Facebook or Amazon are evil, but if they would ask their users in a transparent way about the data that they want to store about them, the awareness would be different. A common claim is “Data is the new oil” and if you think about it a bit longer, it comes to your mind what bad things happened in the rush for oil. Lesson learned №2: WEB 2.0 was a step into the wrong direction concerning personal data.

A couple of years later I discovered Bitcoin and found it an interesting experiment but did not realized the disruptive power of it. The first drafts of Ethereum changed everything. Working with encryption, P2P technology and server technology for years, it felt like I found the final puzzle piece. I knew from the very beginning, that Digital Identity will be the most disruptive and valuable use case in the future. Since that time I’m on a mission to spread the word. In 2015 I founded Blockchain HELIX to put my vision in action and to develop a Digital Identity Platform.

What sets us apart from other Digital Identity solutions?
First of all, we believe that a Digital Identity should be like a human right as we are already a digital society in a digital economy. This means that the Digital Identity itself should not be the business model.

Furthermore we believe in a User-Centric data model that gives back personal data ownership and still can foster business models as it shifts the connection points closer to the user and integrate the user in the value chain. Lesson learned №3: Digital Identity is the key for mainstream Blockchain adoption.

Dominik from IOTA called Digital Identity in a private discussion in Dublin as the “holy grail of internet technology”. The biggest need in the financial industry comes from Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and the idea of a trustful and tamper proof storage of once proven personal identity data. As we are faced with a combination of Technology and Law, it is crystal clear that technology needs to follow the given legal framework and not vice versa. There are different talks about the dictatorship of technocrats, and talking about a sensitive topic like your own identity, it feels good to have an independent authority like the European Commission that is taking care of data protection and data privacy. There is still a gap in between the definition of private data and the need for encryption and hashes and the different levels of abstraction. As an essence of this, every provider that want has european customers need to fulfill the GDPR restrictions. So no matter where you want to build a Digital Identity solution in the world, it boils down to the highest level of data protection and this can be found in Germany. By knowing this, there are a lot of clever people predicting a high market opportunity for exporting european compliance and GDPR as a worldwide standard. Lesson learned №4: Digital Identity solutions need to follow the most restricted requirements.

13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Postponed Main Sale // New Date September 13th 2018 — October 3 on: August 20, 2018, 02:28:32 PM
Why we postponed our Main Sale

After extensive considerations by the team, we finally decided to postpone the date of our Main Sale by 6 weeks. In light of our decision we want to provide some additional background about the reasons.

But first of all, we want to thank everyone in the community for the support during our Pre-Sale. Our Pre-Sale is now over and we have reached our soft cap of 100.000.000 HIX!

Over the last weeks we represented HELIX Orange at conferences all over Europe and the world, made significant process working on the technical platform and boosted our community. One of the most crucial learnings we faced was that the ICO world has changed and that new rules apply. The new industry is suffering from lack of trust and the fact, that recent ICOs did not fulfilled their expectations. One reason more to go for HELIX Orange to bring more trust and confidence to this great investment type.

The statistics from icodata.io show a collapse of nearly 90% in July 2018 (https://www.icodata.io/stats/2018) that has a lot to do with the insecurity about regulation and the uncertainty how to handle STO on exchanges. Another reason for the weak market is the discussion about possible ETFs on the Blockchain that lead investors to wait with their investment.

The good news is, that the race will start very soon as the summer break will be over and a couple of very promising news are already on the go. By postponing the date of our contribution period we will have more time to adapt this to increase our chances to lead the project to success. Our discussion with market experts convinced us, that we are on the right track and our topic is one of the hottest and most needed in the crypto-sphere. HELIX Orange can play a huge role in mass adaption for ICOs and can leverage ICO projects to a bright future.

We are convinced that this update to our roadmap is in the best interest of all our Pre-Sale contributors, early adopters and community. It is our duty to take additional time to get the best out of it.

What’s next?

Just in a few weeks, on 13th of September 2018, we will start our Main Sale. In the meantime we are working on the next steps, we are creating new bounty programs and campaigns for you, we will reinforce our moderation team for our social channels, we are working on the technical platform and — of course, continue to lead the project to our big goal of 3.500.000.000 HIX after main sale.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Overcoming an obstacle is going to make the community stronger and in the long run the project more successful!

Why we postponed our Main Sale

After extensive considerations by the team, we finally decided to postpone the date of our Main Sale by 6 weeks. In light of our decision we want to provide some additional background about the reasons.

But first of all, we want to thank everyone in the community for the support during our Pre-Sale. Our Pre-Sale is now over and we have reached our soft cap of 100.000.000 HIX!

Over the last weeks we represented HELIX Orange at conferences all over Europe and the world, made significant process working on the technical platform and boosted our community. One of the most crucial learnings we faced was that the ICO world has changed and that new rules apply. The new industry is suffering from lack of trust and the fact, that recent ICOs did not fulfilled their expectations. One reason more to go for HELIX Orange to bring more trust and confidence to this great investment type.

The statistics from icodata.io show a collapse of nearly 90% in July 2018 (https://www.icodata.io/stats/2018) that has a lot to do with the insecurity about regulation and the uncertainty how to handle STO on exchanges. Another reason for the weak market is the discussion about possible ETFs on the Blockchain that lead investors to wait with their investment.

The good news is, that the race will start very soon as the summer break will be over and a couple of very promising news are already on the go. By postponing the date of our contribution period we will have more time to adapt this to increase our chances to lead the project to success. Our discussion with market experts convinced us, that we are on the right track and our topic is one of the hottest and most needed in the crypto-sphere.
