ICO Projects and Crypto Platforms News and Info. Make Profitable Trades.

[tokeweed]

Lisk broke out in case some of you didn't notice.  It started as a slow steady price rise which was almost flat.  Then followed by a sudden surge in volume and a faster tempo going above .0005 that started around. 00048ish.  Congrats to those who accumulated under .0004.  Charles Hoskinson must be licking his chops right now, "Rise riiiiise my little pet".  Lol j/k. 

I will post a chart later for visualization's sake.

Ok, here's the chart of LSK.  It is being accumulated right now, maybe even by a trading group...?   

Notice the spikes in volume and the price every time they make their buy orders in.

Anyway there's profit taking going on right now, naturally.  But I still think LSK still has some legs and it's still on its way up.

LSK/BTC

If you're not into Lisk yet and you're looking to buy, don't.  There's a whale setting up huge sell walls to disrupt trading.  Whatever his motivations are it's not good for the price overall.  That's funny because wouldn't that make his holdings less valuable?

There it is!  BTS broke out .00001 BTC.  ...

BTS/BTC

IT is BTS kind of abandoned project ? When last i was on their forum devs were preparing BTS2.0 ...
It is pump for pump or they will revive project ?
You know with dead projects for months is really easy make some noise and do 300% any volume make huge price jump
at markets.

[tokeweed]

Nope BTS is not abandoned.  It's now running Graphene that's developed by Cryptonomex and is now dubbed as 'Bitshares 2.0'.  The platform has been upgraded but the stake distribution has not been changed.  So BTS is Bitshares 2.0 in case you really didn't get it.

There it is!  BTS broke out .00001 BTC.  I honestly thought this would never happen this month as there are some whales that are controlling the price on Polo.  Now I hope it could maintain its price above .00001 BTC and see it trend from there.

Notice the spike in price and volume.  That's usually a good sign and hopefully it comes more and more from now on.

It spiked up but fell back; I remember that well. The reason for the jump is is, Peerplays is doing a sharedrop. They're picking a random time between September 1st 00:00 GMT and September 16th 00:00 GMT for a blockchain snapshot which they'll use to allocated the shares dropped. You'll get a tl;dr at the top of this post:

P.S.: Congrats again for spotting Factom! It had a really good run, altho' it looks like the pump is over. Sell-on-the-good-news effect.

[tokeweed]

Cool and thanks.  I'll make sure to drop by your Steemit from time to time.  I think I should start using that regularly too.  How easy is it to get followers and upvotes?

Hi guys, I removed Waves from the list.  They have no running blockchain AFAIK.  But please correct me if I'm wrong.  I added Ethereum on the list and will add Steemit later.

I believe it might be the beginning of a downtrend back to test .012 - .013 for ETH/BTC.  I know I could be wrong here but granting that BTC will continue its recent rise, it is very much possible.  Nothing special is happening with ETH's price right now in both ETC/BTC and ETH/fiat so everything is depending on how BTC behaves.  If BTC keeps going up, I could see an argument for shorting ETH starting at around .0186 - .0189.

ETH/BTC


Note:  The sudden fall to .01708 yesterday was caused by the surge of BTC to 620+ USD.

Just a heads up.  That list of the top 20 Blockchain technology companies is "based on social media influence, a secret recipe, and Klout scores", that's why it looks retarded.  But it just shows what the mainstream knows about the world of cryptocurrencies and what companies and websites are visible to them.  So that should have some value for the blockchain companies in that regard.

Are we going to enter an altcoin bear market?  All the coins and tokens seem to be flat or are starting to go down except for maybe a few ones.  XRP seems to be having a decent run but it's kinda choppy.

Can anyone suggest which ICO platforms or projects to add in the list?  It's pretty crazy that most or maybe all of the recent Ethereum based ICO's have accumulated over a million USD.  I wonder what would that mean for Ethereum itself.  I'm guessing more DOS and other attacks as the platform gets more and more popular.

ICONOMI collected over 10m USD in their ICO and is about to issue their token next week.

I'm thinking about adding Synereo soon to update the list and I'm also thinking of removing NXT.  It seems to be dying now even after Ardor.  And to my knowledge the developers will abandon NXT and will concentrate only on Ardor.  Is that true?

Interesting to see if LiSK pumps soon for Ark ICO since they have 1st day +120% deposit bonus for LSK.

Expecting to see a pump in LSK very soon. I think it's good to take a position into LSK even if you are not going to join ARKDAO. This seems like a good short term trading opportunity for all crypto traders.
