Rasmussen polling accidentally releases report showing landslide Trump victory:



ooh boy we are in for a ride

It's a bit of an outlier...
Given the state of the majority of the polls, it will be a real surprise if Trump gets it now. (Of course, the polls and the election and the media and the markets are all rigged!)

I would never underestimate the will of the authorities to prolong that Wile-E-Coyote moment for as long as possible. However it does appear that monetary policy is reaching its limits, finally. Which means you either have to pull something really big/unexpected out of the bag (hear the distant sounds of helicopter rotors turning) or bite the bullet. As you say, markets don't do what you expect them to and I can't see how this will finish. My guess is it will be something almost no one saw coming, probably a complication caused by the desperate attempts to keep things going a while longer but one that remains very much in the background until it's too late.
I would want a few BTC hidden away for that day, though, and ideally very little debt.

If we assume that on a Clinton win that markets would rally, stabilize, and even possibly bull run early next year, then I can interpret that as only one thing: That Wall Street believes that she is more sympathetic to Wall Street, Banks, and the Fed, and what she would likely support when the equities/commodities market crash actually happens: MORE stimulus, MORE socialized losses, MORE interest rate suppression.... and MORE GOVT and CORP DEBT.

Which is exactly what we DON'T need more of.
If interest rates are suppressed, isn't that good for Bitcoin? I seem to remember a Bitcoin crash whenever interest rates were raised or spoken of being raised.

Sure, low interest rates are great for traders in any market, allowing cheap hot money (zero interest credit) to flow in and leverage up.  But this gives a very distorted reflection of true value interest in said markets (eg. sound long term investment vs. quick return), leading to overbought activity (bubble) in just about every market where cheap money flows.

Specifically in terms of bitcoin I don't know what to expect. Conventional wisdom suggests that if interest rates are higher then money will flow there from elsewhere, including bitcoin, though I find it hard to believe the impact will be that significant. Of more relevance might be the relatively weaker Yuan.

I think that's a fair assessment. US interest rates are more likely to increase too.
And Sterling will get spanked some more as a result. Ah well.

Where investors can trade their tokens after the ICO, is there any information about which exchanges will add Incent Tokens?

I thiink his information should only be announced after the ico.  Wink

Well, it can't trade anywhere until it's been created, which can't happen until after ICO finishes.

It looks like there will be a rise in bitcoin since Hitlery is going to win this one with Florida (AGAIN! Roll Eyes ) begin the accusing state to doom the US for 4 more years of devious debauchery with another conniving (unt . Embarrassed
Other posters say Trump would rise Bitcoin. Which is it???

Also apparently every politician is Hitler. I've heard all of them called Hitler, including Trump, Obama and Bernie Sanders. Who is the real Hitler? Which one will gas 6,000,000 people?

If Adolf Hitler himself was elected, would Bitcoin rise or fall?

Trump's polling correlates very well against different asset classes, either positively (gold) or negatively (peso, stocks). It's not hard to guess how a Trump presidency would affect bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not correlated with either one of these asset classes.

Pretty sure a Trump presidency would boost bitcoin. A small minority of people think of it as a safe haven asset for some odd reason. More significant are the traders who think that people treat it as a safe haven, and the traders who think those traders think people treat it as a safe haven... Keynesian Beauty Contest, like Cyprus in 2013.
Not sure if there would be an effect from CNY as traders use it as a proxy for a weaker dollar.


Actually ...with the election being over soon. No matter who wins 40% plus of the population is gonna be p/o'd at the winner. Thus I think after Tuesday BTC will pump regardless
for that reason. Don't envy the next president whoever he or she may be.

Frankly I'm not sure what I'm expecting from this election, politically or financially. At this point, nothing would surprise me, including the market shrugging a bit 'whatever'.

seem like it will also take a long time to achieve that 5M now that ARK is going to start their ICO. maybe accepting WAVES with more bonus will give investors a good impression when investing in Incent. It will help WAVES skyrocket as well.

$5m is a cap, not a necessity. ICO has been successful with $1m. It will end of 30 November anyway.

Great interview from Incent dev Pete on Core Radio about Open Value: one of Incent's core ideals. https://soundcloud.com/coremediaradio/openvalue

Really interesting discussion. Pete does a wonderful job explaining many concepts. Worth the time to listen to it.

Absolutely, great interview. You can read some more about Open Value here: https://medium.com/incent-loyalty-blog/incent-and-open-value-we-re-going-to-make-sure-we-re-the-good-guys-3171f1e58271#.nbaa6yv1z

Sasha posted on his facebook about the updates and put some hashtag about chonobank. what with chonobank and its relation to waves?

I think he will also be celebrating his birthday in the next two days.   Grin

ChronoBank is a big ICO and use case that will be issuing tokens on Waves, as well as other major platforms.

I don't think at the present price, more people are going to be interested in the project, since the recent ICO has proven it is not always necessary to participate in ICO if you can get it below the ICO price when listed on exchanges

I think that's quite a risk. Good luck!

^^^ I'm of the opinion that the simplest explanation is usually the best, and you shouldn't attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Silk Road crash may have paved the way for a stellar rise, but the market was showing signs of wanting to go north anyway.

Remember that you can already earn Incent and see how the system will work by buying a t-shirt from your login area! Not only will you receive a record of your status as an original stakeholder in the project (in case you need to prove it to your grandchildren) but all of the markup will go into your Incent balance.

Hi all

Please update as to when and where we can subscribe to newsletters. I have a lot going and I cant always get the latest news. Would like email delivery of latest news. regards and thanks for great project so far.

We don't have that yet but are working on it.

This is one of those occasions when it doesn't matter who in the crypto community notices GAME. The ideal is arguably to allow normal market forces from real use by gamers to increase buy pressure, leading to a nice stable increase in price, rather than traders playing games with it.
898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Incent: The first universal, merchant-backed loyalty platform on: November 03, 2016, 10:05:11 PM
Investidors still coming to us.
Slowly but Constant.
Great job guys

Thanks! Four more weeks to go so just about anything can still happen.
899  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★★ GameCredits - The future of in-game monetization ★★★ on: November 03, 2016, 07:34:35 PM
This is really funny. One of the biggest announcements in crypto and the promise of massive adoption, but we've been waiting so long for something like this that people don't quite know what to do with it.

Uhuu under a month left untill ico ends . Can't wait .  Roll Eyes

Yes, should be good Smiley We can't wait either. The first Incent-enabled merchant transactions will be very exciting.
