Hello Ska-Punk!

Thanks for the article! And yes, we take reach into account. It's probably the most important factor for articles.

Thanks for the good wishes!

We certainly think that we'll succeed, as we have a fantastic proposition for everyone in the entire ecosystem.

I don't think it's really our place to recommend games or websites outside of the Chimaera ecosystem. That being said, my guess is that you'll see plenty of gambling games built on Chimaera.

CHI will not replace HUC. They are entirely different, and both will exist alongside each other.

We can't say for certain that CHI will be listed on Poloniex. Only the people at Poloniex can say that. However, I don't think that it's out of line to say that we believe CHI has significant utility, and will be attractive to more than enough people for one or more exchanges to list it.

MobileGo is quite different from Chimaera. The primary aim there is to provide a payment gateway system. From their White Paper:


They also plan to do a decentralised marketplace, decentralised tournaments, and decentralised matchmaking.

Chimaera gives developers the power to put entire game worlds on the blockchain where they can run unstoppably without servers. It also includes tools for developers to create provably fair games, which, if you follow the rabbit, leads to provably scarcity (or lack thereof). This means that items can have an easier to determine value, and thus be valued higher (there's no friction due to risk).

Chimaera also offers a lot more, e.g. decentralised trading, etc.

As for Bittrex, they will list what they feel best fits their customer base. CHI may fit there, but only the people at Bittrex can determine that.

I hope that helps.

That will be after the Chimaera blockchain goes live, but the exact timing is up to the people at Poloniex to determine.

A spreadsheet for the articles will be coming. It's just one of those things on the back burner.

If you're asking about the Huntercoin snapshot, that was at block 1,680,000. Check the web site for the PDF with details.




No. That wouldn't make sense.



I don't know what you mean there. It's pretty jumbled.

Perhaps you might do better asking in one of our other language ANN threads. See here:

We have some announcements coming out in the near future.

Stay tuned, and check out our Twitter and Telegram as info comes out there.

I'd love to think that it will be $10,000 USD by the end of this year, but I just don't see it happening.

We're in for some market consolidation for a while now. Just turbulence ahead for the next few months.


Still, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The block times in BCH don't help it.

Faster transactions in Lightning Networks will prove themselves within a few years.

Only $10,000? Why so bearish? 


But seriously, I'd love to see that, but I don't believe it will happen.

It's certainly a fun roller coaster!

I used to get nauseous, but eventually you get a stomach for it.

You can pass a law saying that the Sun may only rise after 8 am, and must stay at high noon position for at least 25% of the day.

Doesn't mean it's going to work.

The issue isn't about regulating Bitcoin -- it's about whether or not it can be enforced.

It can't.

Because people will simply start using Zcash, Monero, or some other privacy-centric coin that offers real anonymity.

1.3% is a loss after even the official inflation rates. Realistically, 1.3% is a horrible loss.

And as far as fiat being risk free? Hardly. Just look at how different currencies fluctuate. The CAD lost over 6% against the USD recently.

Eventually enough people will figure out that fiat isn't really worth anything, and the little value it has loses purchasing power daily. Investors already know this. When the masses figure it out, they'll join the investors in finding places to park their money better than a bank.

While I've been skeptical about asset-based ICOs, they could play a very real role there. That is, for example, in a real estate token, you could dump fiat into it and have, just for example, say 0.025% of a house, or a small fraction of a commercial building. While they're still subject to market prices, real estate (in some places) only goes up, and does so well ahead of inflation. That would be a good place to park wealth in for people with little capital. No large investments, and just that token to show ownership.

Interesting.

And, it seems like a very real possibility.

However, thinking again about it, for ETH it might not be a bad time to slowly accumulate and then wait for the next pump. There are so many ERC-20 tokens out there, and more every day. It's going to keep ETH in demand.

Your average finance professor doesn't view Bitcoin as any kind of relevant thing in the financial markets.

And they have a point. The tiny amount of transaction volume in crypto is nothing compared to the fiat markets.

However, I think many of them are a bit short sighted.

As for PMs manipulation, that's 2 very different things.

The first is debasement, as in how the Roman emperors debased their currency.

The second is financial manipulation in the markets, such as the London fix. This is relatively new.

Seems safe enough to me.

For institutional investors, they might add a bit, but I can't see them really going hard on a crypto position.

Bitcoin is cash.

You either have it, or you don't.

What I want to spend it on is gas, groceries, and regular bills.


I think I like to HODL a bit too much sometimes.

I'm not sure I'd say that Bitcoin has gone mainstream.

It seems to me that it will be mainstream when I can buy groceries and gas with BTC. i.e. Merchant adoption as you had listed above.


Oh, and pay utility bills with BTC.

Once I can pay for those, I figure that will be where I'd call Bitcoin "mainstream".
