[ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers

That's not really fair.
Some of us were here supporting Lisk for an entire year without ANY return.

I have been supporting LISK with a considerable loss in Monetary system.
The current proposed system for non-elite group is really very bad, some days back i thought to start a node by myself but now i think it is not a good idea anymore.

By "supporting Lisk" I mean creation of usable tools for the public, like creating scripts, running testnet nodes, creating useful sites, providing public api's, creating sidechains.... not trading.
If you made some bad trades, lisk cannot be blamed; you are in control of your own profit/loss.
I have no idea what that has to do with "elite group" or any group... thats un-related.

My point is that if you compare the supporting contributions of both groups, you would see that elite does nearly nothing except serve themselves. Polishing it with a lottery of only 1000 lisk is an insult imho. Thats all the group of whales could muster? hahaha
very stingy... as an example I collected 24,752 lisk in a few days for the sig campaign, so seeing the 1000 lisk lotto for voting ALL elites is totally feeble and very selfish looking to me.

3. Another stupid point. Who will donate to foundation? Max still has a lot of money, and will not hire more dev's because his opinion that this will slow down development - it's his words! LOL

Where did you hear this?  Show me plz?

Max has stated the exact opposite...
Feb 11th community meeting excerpt:

Dennis: What are the future plans for the development team? How many people are left to hire? What will be the size of the final team?
- Lisk (Max & Joel): Currently, we have 5 Developers and 2 more coming in the next weeks. Although, we plan to have a team that fits every important aspect of Lisk so we, in the end, expect to have a team of 15-20 members here at Lisk.

we have around 9 now I think, so at LEAST 6 more are due in the coming months by this estimate

Any reason for lately rise? or just another coin been pumped??

No official reasons-just a quick pump. Sometimes it happens before news for insiders to do their early shopping.(not saying this is the case here).Let's see what upcoming weeks will print on the charts.

I think charts are quite normal to move in both directions.
As a trader, your job is to figure out WHERE they turn, the WHY is less important, and could be argued forever.

Lisk is first investment after making huge profit I came back and bought more than that now as long term project.

There are no logic behind rises lately.

Any reason for lately rise? or just another coin been pumped??

There are no logic behind rises lately.

The logic is that most of altcoins that has no direct exchange in fiat, are heavy influenced by BTC price, in last two days BTC drop 200$, this is the logic why lisk is rising....

How is possible that still a lot of people don't understand this.....

while this is very true, btc dropped about 15% while Lisk rose roughly 80% in the same timeframe.
It would seem people are beginning to realize the real explosive potential at Lisk when the SDK arrives
Imagine what will happen when 95% of the global programming community can create JS sidechains without the horrible mess called Ethereum.

No more cheap Lisk to buy

No more cheap Lisk to buy

Here is one who know Lisk is best but lack of money to buy when cheap.  Expect Lisk will hit $50 in one day. No matter when. Only need strong patience. Anyway, it still cheap for me.

[elitecstrike]

Lisk will be for sure hit the 20 dollar when there are blockchain apps even more.

Its very sad i dont have enough money to buy more its too cheap now. I will regret it 100 precent for sure later i didnt buy more.

Nice to see lisk is going the right direction.

Lisk should really have more pr so it will attract more investors and buyers

[Thereisnospoon]

The buy wall seems to be doing the trick-herding sheep to the slaughter.Guess what will happen when it removed.

This is my theory. If the mystery whale comes out again and sets up those very large sell walls then the insiders are not running this pump. It might be a group of traders who like pumping cryptocoins because they are taking advantage of the bullish market.

Lisk is doing very well now in forging competition, hope  Lisk  can form another DASH  mechnism

Well, if Lisk do not hurry up, they won't be able to catch up to Ethereum. As you can see, it is either Facebook or Myspace. Only the strongest and fastest survive. So far, Ethereum is way ahead of the game.

Same goes for Bitcoin and Litecoin. Not much love for Litecoin.

The ONLY thing Ethereum has over Lisk is the chart, that's it.
No way in Hell would I want Lisk to follow the footsteps of the disaster known as Ethereum.
How many hardforks of every single sidechain will it take for devs to learn? Time will tell.
Watch what happens when Casper is released, or the next sidechain hiccup happens.... like when DAO was exploited.
One little issue with any sidechain on ETH and the entire network suffers the consequences.
That cannot happen with Lisk.
Ethereum is simply so over-valued atm it is dangerous imho. That bubble is ripe to pop. Consider yourself warned.

Remember the MARATHON, forget the SPRINT.
Lisk isn't a "fly-by night" operation. These are intelligent, careful, calculating individuals.
...and they don't sell their Bitcoin near 3 year lows like Vitalik  

Likely reason the lisk chart popped?
BTC dropped.            Cryptonomics 101  
Some of the largest Non-Chinese exchanges don't deal in fiat.
That means any significant BTC sell is an alt buy, and any significant alt sell is a BTC buy.
I can see no other serious reason. The Lisk team and community has been literally shitting rainbows over the last several months and the chart kept dropping.

Imagine you're on Poloniex, you have 17 Bitcoin, 100 ETH, 10k LSK, 30 litecoin, and CCN publishes
news of a possible Bitcoin Hardfork just days after the SEC ruled against a Bitcoin ETF... the Bitcoin charts start dropping....
What do you do?

Alternate scenario for conspiracy theorists: An "elite"  group of whales launches a troll campaign on BTT and drives the price down for 3 months and then start buying at 8000 satoshi    btw... where did all those masses of trolls disappear to?

Thinking about the 25% paid to "elite" voters... brilliant for the top bag-holders, the returns would be mega larger than the donation.  Think about that for a moment.
It would surely suck to be one of the 50-200k holders watching your donation fee requirement get distributed mostly right back into the group's top few accounts!
I think they got suckered into a rotten deal. No wonder the group could only muster 1000 lisk for the lottery.
No worries, there's still room at GDT

Is LISK breaking 20000 sats today or not?
