Records achieved in the crypto world

[Julian ogan]

Guinness world records celebrating 60th anniversary of its first published edition. I was reading the news published on Changelly's telegram channel about the records achieved in the world of crypto and found it very interesting.

Following are some of the records in the world of crypto:

1) The highest peak of Bitcoin price - $19,783.06 in December 2017.

2) The largest cryptocurrency trading platform - Binance.

3) The biggest theft in the crypto history - Coincheck Hack dated back January 2018. Hackers absconded with more than 500 million NEM, worth approximately $530 million at the time of the hack.

4) The Biggest ICO - Block.One. Through the ICO, Block.one, a Cayman Islands start-up has raised $4 billion for a cryptocurrency called EOS.

5) The fastest token sale - Brave, the upstart web browser founded by Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich, completed an initial coin offering (ICO)
for Basic Attention Token (BAT) in May, 2017. The sale for Brave’s ethereum-based Basic Attention Token (BAT) generated about $35m and was sold out within blocks, or under 30 seconds.

6) The fastest ICO with the biggest ROI - NXT with 1,265,555% ROI.

7) The fastest transaction speed - NANO. The asset has a transaction speed where a deposit is made and therefore, a block is confirmed in a mere 3 seconds

8)Crypto with the biggest circulating supply - Pundi X. Data by Coinmarketcap


I felt these information are useful and we should know about the history and achievements in the crypto world. I would request the community members to share the records or the achievements that you came across about the cryptocurrency.

All those money collected from ICOs and most of those ICO coins and tokens do what? Almost nothing? Eugh. Imagine if those money was allocated for Bitcoin development instead. In this case at least BAT has a decent product(even though they could've used BTC through LN instead).

Hey now. I'll have you know that EOS uses that money to pay their centralized Block Producers. Their $10,000 a day each is totally justified for the work they do - namely, holding complete dominion over their blockchain, with the power to seize your coins and reverse your transactions with literally no oversight. Such power requires suitable compensation! (/s in case it wasn't blindingly obvious)

I would hardly calling scamming naive newbies out of their money in an ICO for some useless trash coin an "achievement". Bitcoin is an achievement. Lightning network is an achievement. Some centralized scam is not.

Yea! And Block.one is creating a new social media site[1] right!? Because Steemit worked really really well and is decentralized right!? And after, Dan Larimer can once again leave this project and create another one right!?

[BrewMaster]

some of those stats are bringing great shame to the entire cryptocurrency world with all the money these ICOs raised and produced nothing

anyways here are two more stats for your list:
so far bitcoin has processed 448 million transactions.
these days between $400 million to $2 billion is being transferred using bitcoin per day.
(both stats from blockchain.info charts)
right now about 2⁶⁶ hashes are being calculated for bitcoin mining every second. that is a little less than 2⁸³ hashes per day.

Dan Larimer can once again leave this project and create another one right!?

It's the Dan Larimer way:
Create Bitshares, scam investors, take profit, abandon project.
Create Steem, scam investors, take profit, abandon project.
Create EOS, scam investors, take profit...

Can't wait to see how much money people throw at him when he abandons EOS and launches some other centralized nonsense. He's good at marketing, I'll give him that.

so far bitcoin has processed 448 million transactions.

Now there's an interesting statistic. 10 years to reach half a billion transactions (approximately). How many more years before we reach a billion?

No one is going to pay for bitcoin development, they don't make money off that.  How many bitcoin ads do you see that are strictly promoting bitcoin and not some service? Zero.  Your essentially paying out of your pocket to pump everyones bags.


Didn't Satoshi technically abandon bitcoin, Charlie lee sold off his litecoin bags and abandoned litecoin?  Don't think you can call Dan a scammer for that.  Of course I really hate how EOS is centralized and those block producers make money doing almost nothing.  Imagine if bitcoin had block producers, lol..................

I'm pretty sure Bitcoin Core, Blockstream, Chaincode Labs, and others are paying their employees to develop on the Bitcoin protocol.

How many bitcoin ads do you see that are strictly promoting bitcoin and not some service? Zero.  Your essentially paying out of your pocket to pump everyones bags.

Bitcoin(the protocol) doesn't need advertisements in the first place. If it's good enough, it will gain enough traction organically, like how Bitcoin reached it's current state from being a project known by a small number of people a decade ago to now a globally known asset.

Didn't Satoshi technically abandon bitcoin, Charlie lee sold off his litecoin bags and abandoned litecoin?  Don't think you can call Dan a scammer for that.

There's a difference between leaving a project for it to be more decentralized in terms of development and in terms of opinions, and leaving a project to create and pump out new ones(multiple, actually). No comment on Litecoin, which I personally think is nothing but a Bitcoin lab rat.

I would request the community members to share the records or the achievements that you came across about the cryptocurrency.

The biggest scammer and liar in crypto: Craig Steven Wright alias Faketoshi.

"Achievements":

- biggest liar in crypto
- lowest credibility in crypto
- launched one of the most obvious scams (BSV) in crypto besides XRP and Bitconnect
- record for suing other people for no reason
- most obvious price manipulation by fake news

BAT is an amazing project, however it still has its flaws. I don`t think they should be using BTC, it is ok with BAT. the problem is that Brave Browser is not that widely used. I prefer firefox. Maybe they should be using an Addon on any browser? Because it is very hard to compete with firefox/chrome. I can use Firefox and Ublock origin, which gives me a better experience than Brave.

7) The fastest transaction speed - NANO. The asset has a transaction speed where a deposit is made and therefore, a block is confirmed in a mere 3 seconds

This is wrong, there's no thing such as "a block is confirmed in a mere 3 seconds" because NANO don't use blockchain, but uses DAG which have different structure.

And all cryptocurrency could achieve similar speed since relay transaction to whole network is pretty fast, although it's very risks to accept 0-conf.

It is not that risk to accept a 0-conf. It depends on the costs. For a cup of coffee for example, a 0 conf is fine.

Additionally, Nano is fast. But no one accepts it! lol

But does bitcoin need our money for development? I guess not. What bitcoin only needs is our trust and global adoption.

It needs both adoption and development. I'm pretty sure you'd agree that the current state of bitcoin today isn't ready for global adoption. While development would still continue from voluntary contributors, funding would definitely help speed things up a lot.

I don`t think they should be using BTC, it is ok with BAT.

Why do you think so?

Ok, I wasn't aware that only positive records and achievements should be listed here. Maybe we can list it as an achievement when he's finally arrested.

BAT is an amazing project, however it still has its flaws.

Their main problem (caused by themselves) is to require KYC even for small withdrawals of BAT. Almost nobody who cares for privacy will do KYC for 5$/month. Originally, I was planning to use Brave Browser but I've stepped back from it. Very sad.

I am using it for a few specific things for some weeks already. It is a beautiful browser, looks nice. But my balance is still 0 BAT.

About KYC, it is sad, as they are the "Privacy browser". But the only real privacy browser is firefox.

I always been sure that Bitcoin actually hitted $20 000, but according to these stats, it didn't. But some other sources says that all time high of Bitcoin was $20,089.00.
And I thought that biggest hack in crypto history was Mt. Gox. Over 750 000 BTC were stolen. Back then it was worth $350 millions, at current rates it's over 7.2 billions!

But the only real privacy browser is firefox.

There isn't just Firefox. There DuckDuckGo, Tor, Epic browser and some others.

Duckduckgo isn't a Browser, but a search engine.

If you search on any privacy guide, Firefox is always the top one recommendation. Check privacytools.io for example, which is the best source about it.

Edit: Tor also slows downs the internet, so unless you need anonymity (not privacy), you shouldn't be using imo.

Free built-in VPN IMO is too good to be true, unless it's run by the community/contributor just like Tor node.

Duckduckgo isn't a Browser, but a search engine.
