Hey guys, I wasn't able to do the weekly update last week because I was kinda busy and there wasn't really any worthy news to post anyway.  I finally decided to add Synereo in the list, I will do that after I get some stuff irl done.  I think their social media feature could find its market niche in the future.

And for you guys who like charts and price analysis, I have a thread running in the speculation section.  Just go in here My Speculation Thread

[Joint Force]

Of course my ICO will be huge. Unlike other coins I'm going to have a product ready to launch prior to ICO.

I'd like to ask the community what they truly and honestly think...  Is NXT dead/dying?  The platform was a regular fixture in the top 10 of Coinmarketcap, but now it's at 33rd and falling.  The Ardor platform is also not doing too well in market cap, I reckon.

Any analysis or opinions?  I'd like to hear them.

Thanks for this kind of thread. This is very helpful for us especially on those newbie traders and who are looking for a stable coin to invest in or to trade off. More power to you OP. Keep it up!

This is only my opinion and I want to make things clear that I say this without any rancor towards the NXT community and the platform itself. Maybe a little rancor towards the people who are scamming the cryptosphere community as a whole by giving those poor people hope that the project is still "alive".

My answer is yes, NXT is really dying. The signs are already there just like the cryptocoins of before who were in the top 10 but that are now out and forgotten by the community because it really has no value. Maybe like most cryptocoins, it was only good for earning some bitcoins by trading the hype behind each of them.

Thanks for following the thread and the support.  I know it ain't much but I do what I can to keep everyone updated.  Please suggest any more platforms to add in the list.  The more the merrier as they say.

That's it for this week's updates.  If you noticed, all the platforms' tokens mentioned are all going down or have already gone down.  Do they even have a chance or are we just scamming ourselves?  You decide.

Well, frankly, ico has altcoin project are very promising, and could make a huge advantage for any person who invested the money they have. Well, ICN, steller, LSK, NXT, and many more coins ever or until today to make people who use it to become rich. Well, this is really very good for traders or investors who wish to participate in ico

Stellar:  Stellar Emerges From Shadow of Bitcoin to Find a Home Overseas
https://www.wired.com/2016/12/bitcoin-stellar/


That's it for this week's updates folks.  So now for the good news:  Bo Shen was hacked and the hacker dumped the stolen ETH and REP.  The hacker also mocked the REP team using Bo Shen's hacked Twitter account.  If you guys are wondering he Bo Shen is, he's basically a Bitcoin whale in China.

More good news, Gregory Lucius Meredith of Synereo, founder of the platform has quit the project causing a price meltdown at Polo.  I feel sorry for all those people who invested in their ICO pricing at .0003 BTC per AMP only to see the value of their holdings fall.  AMPs are now at a tad over .00005 BTC.  But who was stupid enough to buy into their ICO at .0003 BTC when the price at Polo was lower than that at around .00026 - .00028 BTC or something.

Anyway, please post below for your thoughts.

[housebtc]

Thanks for this news update, Augur hack is another major blow to Ethereum platform and I hope all these come to an end soon so as to restore investors faith in the project. Concerning Synereo drama it is really shocking, I really don't understand that some people will dumped at 5000sat what they bought few months ago at 33000sat.

This is cool man! I just found this thread. Good place to find the developments in Cryptos and what you need to know. Thanks for updating it frequently.

I having being saying this in most of my today's post. But since you're a newbie I am going to repeat again. Running ICO would be WINGS in my choice. Other tokens to invest would be ICONOMI  (ICN) and Singular DTV (SNGLS).

[mace15]

Thanks for this. I got some information here. Ico project
is worth investing for. Giving some fair distribution who
advertise the projects will surely be interesting more.

Here's the weekly update.  There's nothing interesting really going on across the scene as far as alts are concerned.  Bitcoin is making a move up though, so let's see how that affects the rest of the markets.

[tokeweed]

I've been observing and looking for updates on the altcoin scene for quite a while now.  As an avid trader, I believe in being updated and reading the news and info available help in making better trades.  That's not to say that I take all the news and info at face value.  There's always an ulterior motive on why they release such news or blogs.  So it's always good to read between the lines and know when they're hyping or not.

But for this week I find it weird that there's almost no updates (or hype) lately.  Is it because of Bitcoin's price surge or is it because everybody is busy during the holidays?  Maybe some of them are giving up? 

Please discuss.

It's nice to have some small updates from the different projects around the space from time to time.  There was a point when I thought we were being overloaded with too much info, shoving them in our throats.  Now that there's not a lot, I kinda miss it.

Anyway what's up with Synereo?  There are some people in their Reddit that are saying that they feel that they were scammed.  It's probably the people who bought their ICO at .0003 BTC per AMP?  That was a poorly run ICO.  They were offering them at an ICO price of .0003 BTC a piece when Poloniex had it traded at a price lower than that.

Ripple:  Bitstamp Now Trading XRP
https://ripple.com/insights/bitstamp-now-trading-xrp/

The big surprise here is Bitstamp's decision to list XRP in their exchange.  Why didn't they do this 2 -  3 years ago?  I don't know if this is really good news because it might show that Bitstamp is in desperate need of more channels to earn more revenues thru fees.  As we all know Bitstamp was hacked and around 6m USD (? not sure) was stolen by the hacker/s.  But then again this could really be good news and Bitstamp knows what's up behind the scenes.  I'm still excited where it goes.

Factom:  New Factom Foundation Wallet is Out

So we only have one 'worthy' update from the world of altcoins, it seems.  I've been doing this for a while now and one thing I noticed is as a project gets older and older, they have less and less updates or news released to the public.  Shouldn't it be the other way around?
