You're an exchange. No bullshit reasons like 'the tech, the future, great coin..'. None of that bullcrap.  Volume matters first and foremost for an exchange.

The ones in the top 5 of having the most transaction + trading volume + total wallets/accounts.

Quite a lot going on and it's always difficult to keep up with the pace they progress.

Very nice web wallet being worked on

If you are technical keep an eye on the GitHub
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases

Other DAC's such as MUSIC and PLAY are still being worked on

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/board,52.0.html



My own thoughts on BTS:

-Quite nice to be able to buy/sell/short BitAssets in changing times from within the client.  Liquidity should improve with time.
-Being employed by the blockchain.  I am not a delegate however it gives the user the ability to vote for block signer's who are providing value to BTS.
-User Issued Assets are being implemented/documented/tweaked that will allow for complete legal compliance.  Think OverStock.com that wants to issue their own blockchain stock etc...
-5-10 second secure confirmations

The positive list goes on and on, just seems BTS is being overshadowed by chains not bringing much innovation or further pushing the blockchain limits.  Regardless, BTS is an honest experiment and it will be fun to see where it goes in 6-12 months.


It does not really correlate with the price does it?  I was asking what's going on in the lines of 'why are people dumping it?'.

I mean it's easy to shill.  Everybody shills in these parts.  But what is really going on?
14365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Circle Investors, New US Dollar Account Features, China Horizons on: April 30, 2015, 04:59:56 AM
Will this help with mainstream adoption? Allow people to use bitcoin and accept bitcoin without having to own or hold bitcoin.

Coinbase to the UK. Circle to China. Nasdaq Stockholm to trade a Bitcoin ETN. Things are getting serious.

It's not even about that.  It's about having a choice.  It's good that there's a service that allows you to choose.  Bitcoin is known for its volatility, so Circle gives their customers a choice to avoid that.

If the features only purpose was to provide a choice between BTC and USD then what's the difference than just using an exchange, except that it's FDIC insured? I think that Circle is trying to pull in more users by letting them spend bitcoin and receive it without having to hold bitcoin due to it's volatility.

Again, choice.  Anyone can choose to hold BTC if they want.  And to speculate, it won't stop there.  Yuan could be the next available currency then hopefully more.

14367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Neucoin presale selling like pancakes. Should I buy some or not? on: April 30, 2015, 03:48:48 AM
What a bunch of bullshit.  

1) They claim they've sold over 70M neucoins for over 3K BTC.
2) They claim the proceeds are visible here: https://blockchain.info/address/3MrNuksZ1VePU3dGiSQFiouWerJUJgDkfH
3) There is .05 BTC in that address

They originally listed the names of people behind this scam in this article, but they have since been scrubbed.. INTERESTING HMM?
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/neucoin-teams-techs-top-executives-bring-cryptocurrency-masses/

Clearly the next GAW.  Assholes.  Fuck Off.


Right now there's over 2,700 BTC in that address.

Are there any stipulations in their terms and conditions that they won't be holding all the BTC in BTC?  Will they be selling part or maybe all of it like what Factom did?
14368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitshares' price is dropping. Any news or updates? on: April 30, 2015, 03:44:38 AM
Looks like no one's really sure what's going on.  Are the people behind Bitshares managing everything well?

+2

You can buy after the launch.
With at least 50% discount.


This is what I think will happen too.  I was worried about missing out.  But the market sentiment was different when the IPO for NXT came out.  Those were bullish times.  

how much was NXT during the presale?

I think the IPO got 21 BTC for the whole billion NXT.  Not sure....

14371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Circle Raises $50 Million With Goldman Sachs Support on: April 30, 2015, 03:37:07 AM
Quote

Today we announced a major step forward in the execution of our vision and product strategy. We've closed a new $50 million strategic investment round co-led by Goldman Sachs and IDG Capital Partners.

And for the first time, we're giving Circle customers the ability to hold, send, and receive US dollars as well as bitcoin -- instantly, securely, and with no fees. In addition to sending and receiving dollars, customers can also enjoy the benefits of the Bitcoin network without the risk of price volatility.

IDG Capital Partners likewise brings a strategic capability to Circle as we bring our products and services to China. We believe in a hybrid digital economy in which value moves freely around the world and converts into other currencies -- including both crypto and fiat currencies -- seamlessly, safely, and instantly. People will transact and trade both locally and across the globe more freely and more securely than has ever before been possible. And that means growing our platform to include important economies and currencies such as US Dollars and Chinese Yuan.

We’re also introducing new US dollar features that enable customers to hold, send, and receive dollars. Customers with dollar accounts gain all of the benefits of digital currency -- instant, secure and free payments to anyone in the world -- without holding or explicitly converting dollars into bitcoins. Dollar account balances held by Circle customers are FDIC-insured.

Circle’s robust support for Bitcoin also gets even better. If customers choose to hold dollars instead of bitcoin balances, they can still pay any person or merchant who accepts payment in bitcoin, without ever holding bitcoin themselves. Circle will handle instant conversion from dollars into bitcoin at the time of the payment. The reverse is also true: customers can accept bitcoin and expect Circle to convert it instantly into dollars in their Circle accounts. This gives customers the benefits of bitcoin payments without the risk of price volatility.

Yeah.  They are over thinking the issue...  Or just fanning the flames.  The media loves doing that.  I suggest ignoring it.

But whatever brings Bitcoin some attention is good if you think about it.

More articles about bank executives laundering money.

Shit.  Just google it.  There's too many of them.
14374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NYTimes - How Bitcoin is Disrupting Argentina Economy on: April 30, 2015, 03:09:05 AM
Loved that article.  It really shows BTC as a tool for disruption. 

And check out this bit...

Transactions of this sort inevitably stir up fears of money laundering and terrorist financing. Banks currently serve as the front line in stopping illicit money transfers. If these regulated institutions are cut out of the business of moving money, the banks and government officials say, who will ensure that terrorists and organized crime are not using the network to move millions across borders?


I say fuck you.  Bank executives themselves launder money.  Read these articles.

Obvious shitcoin.

They rose $2.5M already and won't even have a wallet until July. They confirmed this for me on Twitter.

So between the date of the presale and July your Neucoin "cryptocurrency" is going to be in an Excel spreadsheet on some hipster's MacBook. Let's hope it doesn't get accidentally erased  Cheesy

Lol.  I was thinking the same.  But in a different context.  But yours is funny.  Cheesy

Are there any news or updates we should know about?  Please, let's make the discussion good and civil.  Enough 'scam this, scam that...'.  I just want to know what's really going on with Bitshares.
14378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can London be a Global Bitcoin Hub? on: April 30, 2015, 02:27:12 AM
If NYFDS Bit License is too tight, then London could become a global hub.  But BTC has no borders, even Singapore or Shanghai can become the hub if their laws are encouraging.
