TRADE: sMerit for Info

[aoluain]

*PLEASE READ THIS POST IN FULL

There are a number of projects [below] I am interested in and have
yet to pull the trigger and invest in.

Some of the newer projects have generated so much attention that
the threads are numerous and some are quite big so i feel that unless
I am keeping up to date it is easy to fall behind, and difficult to
catch up while keeping tabs on my existing portfolio.

So I have 12 sMerit to spend for information about the following:

Qtum - 0 merit remaining
Capp - 0 merit remaining
Iota - 1 merit's remaining
Steem - 0 merit's remaining
ETC - 0 merits remaining

Criteria:
I'm looking for relevant and up to date info, im not looking for info
taken from the first page of an ANN thread, I can read that myself.
I am looking for information and links and verified technical info to
back it up.

Reward:
3 merit's per project [above]
1 merit per person

Conditions:
I will not be answering questions about why I did or did not reward
particular posts, I will be rewarding on what interests me or persuades
me to finally invest in the above.

Here is the original merit announcement thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0;topicseen

and a quote from theymos from that thread:
"While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with."

How about activity token project? if you can't mine the coins you have mentioned, you might as well buy my activity token, every time I put some sell orders on Waves decentralized exchange, my orders would get canceled the next time I'd login to my Waves wallet.

I don't have any whitepaper for my token, because people already know everything there is to it, Bitcoin killer, much better and faster and cheaper, it will change the(my) world.

You just buy them, I will do the rest and would tell you that my tokens are fee-less. on paper, they all are really something, you have to invest on every token, coin. there is no useless coin in crypto, they are just selling you the future of crypto currencies cheap, nobody would ask them, why are you selling them? why don't you keep them for yourself?

I'm keeping my tokens for myself, they are the future right? a man has got to eat right?

Why would you sell 100 Million coins for $0.01 each and then *deving them into something worth $1 to make others rich? you could *dev them and then sell them for $1.

Hey,

Information about steemit:

I joined Steemit July 2017. My Profile Link:

https://steemit.com/@roy92

Steemit is a social network and content rewards platform that makes the crowd the beneficiaries of the attention economy. It does this be rewarding users with STEEM.

So this means, if you creat content, it can get upvotet by others. The more SteemPower you have, the stronger is your Upvote. But tbh, only the whales are getting bigger, because they upvote theyr own posts, so theyr posts are on the mainpage and only the posts of the whales are visible.

And Steem is the name of the Blockchain, Steemit is the front end. There are other frontend applications, running on the Steem Blockchain, like Dtube.

Oh and SteemBackedDollars (SBD) are a "stable" trading utility coin. SBD was considered to stay stable in the range of 0.9-1.1 USD. But it is enflated to high. It is currently on 3.3 $/SBD.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask me here or PM me.

Btw i need 10 Merit to reach Member rank

This is something i posted in one of the Cappasity yesterday

According to the Cappasity Blog they have collaborated in some way with the Alibaba team
for implementing the Alibaba cloud platform to reach the China market.
Im not sure how far the partnership goes other than alibaba renting their cloud platform,
but it is positive and an impressive name to be associated with.

Here is the blog link
https://blog.artoken.io/cappasity-platform-launch-in-china-99a2be8dfe73

and the quote from that
"We utilize Google Cloud Platform for users from all over the world, except China where from now on we will be using Alibaba Cloud Platform."

I am pretty active on Bitcointalk's Steemit topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466593.0) and I have been a Steemian for around a year now. Ask me anything about it. I will help you. As for the latest updates, there aren't many. Just one that Steem was recently listed on Binance. I'll be waiting for your questions!

Hi, I found news about QNTM :
1. Spacechain launch satellite hosting a QTUM  node into space.
2. Progress in the Chinese market, China's government has been surprisingly open to companies working with QTUM.
3.  Qihoo 360 and Baofeng, have established significant partnerships with the QTUM Foundation to experiment with integrating QTUM into their products.
4. Massive increase in Chinese Proof of Stake nodes , now over 1500 ( total nodes 3600) was 1000 in China and 3000 worldwide 3 days ago.

This caused grow in QTUM price in the last days and it’s a good prospective for the future development.

Founders of new very hype project Fusion was heading company Bitse, that made a business incubator for QTUM project Proof https://t.me/FUSIONFoundation/66771

Bitse was a incubation company for blockchains. Bitse incubated Vechain that Sunny (the COO of Bitse) took over, they also incubated Qtum (Wich Patrick took over), and now the CEO (DJ Qian) is creating Fusion

Steem


Steem is a cryptocurrency used to power the platform Steemit - an incentivized blockchain social media platform.

Users create and curate content on Steemit just like other social news platforms (e.g. Reddit, Hacker News) and get rewarded in Steem for their work.

Steem, another advanced money made to boost the utilization of Steemit, another examination in web-based social networking, has detonated in the previous couple of days, taking third place after Ethereum, with a present market top of more than $200 million, yet would this be able to really work or is it only a craze?

Ill give this a shot. This is my own analysis and not from the thread.

IOTA is dangerous due to low liquidity and will not break out of the current price slump until volume increases. Why?

Last 24 hour volume is ~$40 million USD worth of IOTA trading. On a market cap of $5.2B the liquidity ratio is only 0.007%. Just like stocks, low volume assets are subject to market manipulation when small volume can be manipulated by large holders by working the Bid Ask spread.

As a comparison, all of the top 20 market cap coins have a larger volume in USD terms (or any currency for that matter). This is a given for the larger coins as the market cap comes with larger volumes although Stellar is similar in ratio. In addition the volume in USD of all of the top 20 coins is larger than IOTA. This includes much smaller by market volume coins like Bitcoin Gold with volume at $4.2 million on market cap half of IOTA. The 20th ranked coin VeCoin has a market cap of $2B with volume over $50 million. Over twice the volume ratio or twice as liquid.

Why is volume important?

Volume allows a coin to move. Less volume means large swings in bid ask move the coins value. In other words large investors can manipulate the price much easier. If bad news were to hit sellers will chew through buy orders and drive the price down. The opposite for good news.

What does low volume indicate?

Large institutional ownership which has a vested interest in not selling. Low interest in trading a coin both for buying and selling. In the case of IOTA we really do not know why the low volume. As recent as December volume crossed $2 billion/24 hours during the run up. Volume can help track or help indicate future direction of crypto coins. Typically volume decreases on dips and increases in run-ups. Use the volume of IOTA pick buys/sells.

To put all this in pespepctive Litecoin typically leads all of the top 10 coins in liquidity usually around ~5% per day trading hands. ATM Litecoin is showing nearly $9B market cap with $488 million trading volume. For the top coins 2% is a healthy number. Look for IOTA to move up only when liquidity crosses the 2% ratio of volume 24 hours/marketcap.

I did not post links but all numbers can be verified on coinmarketcap. I track these numbers daily to spot trends. I am not a fan of IOTA because of the low volume. Too risky for me.

Thanks for the detailed info, plenty of detail and something everyone should
[and probably already do] take into consideration when creating points on
whether or not to invest in a particular token or project.

While the info detailed above is not positive for a potential investor it is
important all the same. 1 merit awarded.
