    Am I the only one that hates “HODL”?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 11:15 AM PST

    I can't help but to feel like it minimizes the community or makes a bit of a joke out of it. Yea, I know where it comes from, but I don't care. It's stupid.

    It's kinda like how anyone who smokes pot is a "stoner" and must enjoy the 420 culture (clothing and accessories adorned with pot leafs, the "420 bruh!" types, etc). People are absolutely blown away to discover that people in the 6 and 7 figure salary windows smoke daily. They don't fit the "420 Bruh!" mold.

    Eventually someone not in the community is gonna see "HODL" and take it all, everything we do and talk about, as a joke. If we can't take ourselves seriously with this, why should/would anyone else?

    Hold, folks. Hold.

    But then again maybe it annoys me because I'm a day/swing trader. I don't hold shit.

    Am I wrong or just an asshole?

    U.S. Crypto Taxes Explained! Altcoin trading example and more!

    What's do you think a 2-3% global adoption rate will look like?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 06:26 PM PST

    It's well known that less than 35 million total addresses are holding all bitcoin.

    And further, we know that bitcoin has approximately 45% of the market cap total.

    So we can estimate about 50 million people in crypto, assuming each address was one per person. The number is likely actually lower.

    American adult population, + europe bloc, + soviet bloc, + asian bloc @ 5% adoption rate = ~250 million adults not incarcerated or incapacitated.

    If they each threw in only $100 to whatever random currency, the market cap would go up from $550 billion of today to $2.8 TRILLION.

    This also implies that if the market cap is only 550 billion, then the current adoption rate must be smaller than 1%, since many people are into cryptos in the thousands, not the single $100 bill.

    Let that sink in. Under a 1% adoption rate right this second. $550 billion market cap. Even Doge has a billion in it's market. The memecoin is outperforming all of our 401ks. RECAP:

    ~5% adoption rate growing from 1% (adoption rate is actually closer to .15% many duplicate address, many with penny balances, several million lost and remade anew, etcetera)

    ~absurdly low initial investment of only $100 (remember, this is just first world grown ups, no third world or poverty types adopting yet)

    With only two basic assumptions that you can't really argue with, it is clear the market will grow 500% and pretty much all coins will initially rise, then newbs will start reading, then everything will collapse into top ten or top 25 maybe. for a period while development cycles complete. Holders will be rewarded so hard.

    Thanks for listening. Please, tell me how I'm wrong, or if you follow the argument, support or extend it.

    Diversification and Portfolio Theory.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 06:58 PM PST

    TLDR: diversification reduces risk, over-diversification reduces profits. 'optimal diversification' is usually considered to be 20. Split your assets into different use-cases (store of value, smart contracts) and make sure you don't pile up on to many from one group.

    So I just replied to this post regarding portfolio diversification and thought I'd actually submit my reply as a post in itself for you guys.

    Portfolio Diversification

    We all know that diversification reduces risk, however, you can also over-diversify whereby you risk profits. Over-diversification provides diminishing returns, and according to portfolio theory, the ideal number (otherwise known as 'optimal diversification') is around 20, after this point you stand to lose more than you gain by diversification.

    One more point, you have to diversify effectively. There's no point me diversifying my entire portfolio into 20 Gold mining companies across the globe; I'm not really reducing risk here, as my portfolio would fundamentally be tied to the price of Gold. The same is true of many Forex currency pairs that move in tandem.

    To translate that last point into crypto, you should also aim to diversify the 'use-cases' of your assets. Holding LTC, BCH, XRB (transfer coins); or holding ETH, NEO, ADA (smart contracts); or XMR, PIVX, ZCASH (privacy) would not be as effective as holding say XRB, ETH, XMR.

    I personally split Crypto's into a number of use cases, including store of value (BTC), transfer value (LTC), smart contracts (ETH), Privacy (XMR), interoperability (XRP), Internet of Things (IOTA), etc. and try to make sure I never have more than 3 from the same group.

    Tried to keep it short, hope it helps. Remember, this information comes from my experience as a traditional forex/commodities investor; so it may not be as applicable to crypto as it is to traditional investing.

    RaiBlocks.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 08:52 PM PST

    Tellin Ya boys, Get in on this as you're looking at a crypto 3.0 coin. This ill be essentially the crypto that with the market cap always rising. will be a 30-$100 coin shortly. Do look I do on estimating a coins value, goto, coin market cap, sort by circulating value, see what the possibilities are available for coins in your range (distribution/circulation wise). If your coin has potential, where Raiblocks does with their circulating amount, coupled with their technologically proven transfer speeds, it has great potential to be at a minimum a $37 coin.. All that is needed is a polished wallet and a larger exposure to exchanges and you will see what the future rivalries compare to today's BTC/BCH/ETH

    Potential of ADA and XLM

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 06:49 PM PST

    What can crypto investors expect from these two coins in the future, or at least what would be reasonable?

    Both of them are relatively inexpensive in terms of USD/EUR value, but both have a significant market cap which may limit upward growth. However, they also possess their respective strengths as cryptocurrencies, with implications for transactions between businesses and people.

    Should investors expect significant returns, or is investing in these coins more for the purpose of bringing them into daily use?

    Thoughts on DeepBrain Chain?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 09:11 AM PST

    I just saw this hit Kucoin this morning, and it looks like a really interesting project. Distributed machine learning, with mining rewards via deploying and running Docker containers.

    Apparently it's the second ICO off the NEO blockchain - I'm guessing that means there will be some hype around it?

    What do you guys think?

    This is one the Altcoins I never invested in and so I don't follow their news, what is the reason of this rise? Is there any special feature or partnership announced? Or it's just hype and exuberance?

    Verify (CRED) - Biggest gainer in upcoming weeks?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 06:32 AM PST

    Hopefully you guys don't mind that I am crossposting this here. It is my favorite project and I believe it deserves more attention.

    I see that people are starting to talk about CRED more and more every day so I thought that I would write a little more about it since I am following project since beginning. I would like to note that I have money invested into this project, so I may be a little biased, but I will try to eliminate any moon talk and focus on project and team behind it.

    What is Verify?

    Verify is Ethereum-powered reputation platform for ecommerce. Verify (CRED) is a token that helps making e-Commerce with crypto easier, because it secures that if you pay for a product with crypto that you will receive that product, and if somethings goes wrong that they will fix it.

    This includes: » Non-delivery » Delivery to an incorrect address » Lost shipments » Delivery of the incorrect item » Delivery of an item that does not meet the description provided by the seller. While this may not be the newest idea because lots of credit card companies and PayPal have this kind of the same service, but they do not have that with crypto payments. Credit card companies also have a 3% fee most of the time while Verify only asks for 1%.

    The global retail market is $22T a year, and eCommerce represents $1.9T , just over 8.5% of all yearly global retail. Blockchain commerce, on the other hand, represents under $50M in total volume, the sum of all products purchased using cryptocurrencies. This volume is incredibly small; for every $440,000 of commerce conducted, just $1 is paid for using cryptocurrencies. We need simple and convenient ecommerce platform that uses crypto and Verify seems like the best option out there at the moment.

    Main competitors are Utrust and Monetha(sitting at 6.5x higher valuation than Verify) and how it compares to them you can see here:

    https://medium.com/@verify.as/so-hows-verify-different-than-a4c09a40909b

    After doing a lot of research I have come to conclusion that CRED is superior in every way and it has without doubt the most competent team in this space.

    Team raised 2.5mil$ (they didn't ask for more, ICO sold out in 90 minutes) compared to Utrust which raised 20x times that and don't have anything to show for.

    Working Demo/MVP is up here if you want to check it out: https://verify.as/how.html#demo

    CRED has been relatively stable mostly because it is traded on Etherdelta only. But we have seen a lot of great projects going x5-x10 on Etherdelta, and I think that is about to happen with CRED as well.

    *Exchange listings should be announced in next few days. *They are extremely transparent about their applications and you can find them here: https://community.verify.as/t/exchange-listings-for-cred/23

    I think that first one will be Kucoin and hopefully Binance will follow it up soon.

    Team is very, very good and they have a lot of experience in this area. Yazin Alirhayim, the CEO of Verify, was most recently VP at Amazon's Payfort Start as they they acquired his start up White (a competitor to Stripe). Before, he was the Global Finance Leader at General Electric. I basically regard White as a prototype to Verify, as it is also a crypto-compatible payment service. Omar Kassi, one of the advisors, previously founded, grew and exited JadoPado, one of the Middle East's pioneering eCommerce marketplaces. JadoPado was acquired by Noon, a billion dollar company founded by real-estate mogul and billionaire Mohammed Alabbar. Omar is currently the CEO and Founder of Esanjo, a business that creates, builds and invests in beautiful technology businesses. Another interesting team member is Moussa Beidas, who is also CEO and cofounder of Bridg and has already made customer experiences with i.e. Google Fibre and Microsoft. Moussa knows how to deal with corporations, as he ran a startup before, he knows what stakeholders and VCs want. Most recently Yazin was also able to add Mike Bailey to the team. Mike Bailey is a Senior Economic Research Scientist at Facebook and manages the News Feed Science team. His research analyzes the interaction of social networks on people's economic decisions and the importance of social interactions in understanding the economy. Prior to Facebook, Mike earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford university. A Stanford graduate wouldn't need to join any non serious crypto start up for the money, especially not with a career like Mike's.

    Yazin Alirhayim, CEO: Founded White Payments in 2014 which was acquired by Payfort. https://yazin.org/.

    Pavel Garbriel, CTO: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavelgabriel/

    Roman Bugaev, Technical lead: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rbugaev

    Ibrahim Mokdad, Head of business development: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibrahim-mokdad-48012118/

    Mikhail Davidovich, Software Engineer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikhail-davidovich-3198b717/

    My opinion about it's potential: I think that in upcoming days we should at least see x3-x5 before it gets listed on bigger exchange. Market cap is extremely low compared to it's competitors and it is good thing that there are literally ZERO red flags about project(I haven't found any).

    Team isn't trying to pump token for no reason, they seem to be focused on succeeding in their intentions and growing their business, and this post covers that pretty well: https://medium.com/@verify.as/token-sale-over-now-what-149fc109931b

    I like that they realize that pretty much all cryptos are pure speculation and that a lot of people won't be extremely happy to pay for stuff with crypto. Which is why they are probably going to introduce fiat payments(that would convert to crypto on the go), so concept remains intact.

    I have personally never felt more confident with my investment than I am now with CRED. I see a lot of comments popping about it on reddit and other boards, and it looks like it is going to be shilled heavily in upcoming weeks. I can't say that makes me unhappy because I am glad that project will receive attention it deserves, but if hype dies down after a month - remember that project will still be solid and nothing will be different about it. A lot of people here don't find out about amazing projects and hidden gems like this one until it is too late. I can't give anyone financial advice, but if you don't know in what to invest, check out CRED and if you like it, feel free to put some money into it. Don't wait until 5 or 10$, go for it before it is too late or don't invest at all.

    If you want to find more about project, feel free to visit their website:

    https://verify.as/

    They are securing vendors for their platform and their first partnership is with EAT, The Middle East's fastest-growing real-time reservation platform for restaurants. (Eat App is part of Silicon Valley's 500 start ups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_Startups). They have published post about Verify yesterday, if you want to read it, you can do it here: http://blog.eatapp.co/verify-will-solve-serious-problems-for-restaurants/

    They will have a lot of more partnerships in The Middle East and while we may not see them hyping partnerships up, they will certainly mean a lot for platform they are trying to build and all their investors.

    CRED is available only on Etherdelta at the moment(which is perfectly safe to use now) and more exchanges will be announced in the coming days.

    https://etherdelta.com/#CRED-ETH

    I hope I wasn't too biased, I really am huge fan of this project. I know that FOMO is starting to kick in and I just wanted to give everyone heads up. Best of luck!

    Is there any point to buying XRB if I'm buying less than the BTC transaction fee?

    Complete noob to this, but I want to buy railblocks after hearing good things about it. But I don't intend to invest a large amount, probably no more than £50. Bitcoin fees are really high at the moment so is there any point to me doing this?

    trying to make an account with GDAX to move everything there from coinbase but when I try to make an account, it weirdly takes me to the 2FA for coinbase and takes me to coinbases sign up page as if I signed up for coinbase rather than GDAX. Are they not letting me escape?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 08:36 PM PST

    How does one trade Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether and Ripple on preferably the same market without needing an SSN number to register? Most websites ask for that and I don't have one because I am not a U.S. citizen. Thank you for your time and happy holidays!
