[ANN][XLM] Stellar - Decentralized trading platform

[orpel]

Guys, do you think that the announcement today is worth double the value of Stellar or we have just witnessed a huge pump?
 

I think it's both.
We have seen 150% jump today.
The platform got a huge push from the industry but it's still just the beginning and it is now only 92% rise.

I believe in this platform and I think it is only the beginning.

Keep in mind that the market has a short memory, you might see a big dip and the next few days (in addition to Bitcoin gold fork that is moving money to Bitcoin), and then the price might be much more attracting.

But always keep in mind that there are no rules in the crypto environment.

I think it would pump up more. Just like the time it rise up to 2.5k sats. It is really a worth waiting in this kind of project that you know it could change the cryptocurrency world.

The stellar team are really doing their job for the development of this project.

What you mean 8.2 or 82k satoshi can you explain about this. There are some good signs for significant rise in coming days I think so but much hard to say in current situation when everybody trying to take profit for upcoming fork.

I am very bullish on this one! IBM deal is huge, also everyone seems to be optimistic. I'm holding long term.

Same here. This has been a long term buy/hold for me for a while. The nice thing is, at this price, you get get a large amount which gives some nice leverage.

As BTC grows it becomes more sluggish, and with increasingly higher fees. 
https://ledgerx.com/about-ledgerx/ will very soon bring Wall Street into cryptos with ETF's behind them.
Institutional investors will look at Stellar much faster now with IBM on board.

XLM to Alpha Centauri and beyond . .

[jeremypwr]

I'm very confident in this project and with the recognition it has recently received, I'm in for another .5 BTC 

[marksteven]

i definitly love this coin, i am in

[Bert65]

Hi all, does anyone get the XLM distribution from Kraken exchange? I didn't get mine yet

Swanky SWIFT Event Sweats as Heat Applied by Cooler Swell

The IBM-Stellar deal raised some eyebrows because of the erratic past behavior of Stellar’s founder, Jed McCaleb, who was also the founder of Mt Gox, which turned into bitcoin’s biggest ever fraud, and then co-founded Ripple but was expelled by the board for installing his girlfriend as an executive with no clear portfolio.

IBM is trying hard to make a name for itself in the blockchain space, but this partnership has people puzzled in Toronto. One leading ethereum developer told the Observer, “It’s an also-ran tech company choosing an also-ran token.”

Pressed for an explanation, another developer—a key industry figure and leading cryptographer, who did not want to be identified criticizing a prominent player in the space—detailed to the Observer what he feels is lacking in Stellar.

“It has tech flaws and it has market issues. The tech flaws are that Stellar is hopelessly centralized. They are completely centralized without a plan to decentralize. Worse, their method of adding validators [the mechanism that “unmined currencies” like XRP and XLM use to preserve the integrity of their blockchains] prevents new validators from joining in a meaningful way. New validators become simply trusted repeaters of what Jed says rather than independent validators. In short, they’re effectively stuck as a centralized currency unless they change their fundamental software. So they’ve had zero closed ledgers as a decentralized system, [which means it is] untested. Second, no progress has been made in scaling their blockchain.”...............

^^^^^No doubt banks, corps, and cryptos feel a big threat by IBM and Stellar.
Jeb sold Mt.Gox before the new owners ran it into the ground.

Chuck Adams - "IBM is helping farmers and small businesses in underdeveloped countries participate in global trade. They were not able to before blockchain technology. This payment system using Stellar in already at work in 12 different regions across the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. It will be completely replacing the currencies of smaller places like Samoan tala. I find people in the crypto space do not understand just how big specific platforms like Stellar will be. It's worth hundreds of billions if it accomplishes what it sets out to do. With IBM leading it, I have no doubt it will succeed. $10 is cheap".
