    Blockport. The next star to rise?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2018 09:53 AM PST

    Disclaimer: Yes, I own Blockport Tokens myself. This is to educate people that don't know about Blockport yet. Because of posts like this one I made a lot of money myself since I didn't know about a lot of coins.

    So, here we go.

    What is Blockport? Blockport is aiming to be the first and leading social cryptocurrency exchange. A place where it's easy to start trading. You can deposit fiat or crypto and start to follow traders that are making a bang.

    Why I think it's a great idea and investment: When I started trading crypto I would have wished for something like this to exist already. It can be overwhelming to start trading and a lot of people(mainly older people) are too afraid to screw something up and lose their money. Blockport is trying to solve this by making the cryptomarket as easy as possible. They are creating a platform where you can buy cryptocurrencies instantly via credit card and other payments in the future. Think of it like Coinbase but way better. People can make social profiles on the Blockport Network and start following or even copying traders, making it easy for a complete beginner to start making some profit and learn from the people that know their stuff.

    Roadmap: - Beta Release in March Q1. - Full Release of Blockport 1.0 in Q2. - Full Release of Blockport 2.0 in Q3. - Release of Blockport 3.0 Beta in Q4. - Final Release of Blockport 3.0 in Q1 2019.

    This is taken from their website:

    Problem: The complex crypto space makes it difficult for beginners to start trading. Current platforms impose high barriers to entry, because they often lack usability, transparency and education. As a result, many people are discouraged to adopt the crypto economy.

    Mission:

    We are building a user-friendly crypto exchange that combines social trading with a hybrid-decentralized architecture to help people safely trade crypto assets. We bridge the gap between the crypto economy and the traditional world of finance to shift towards a digital and decentralized society.

    Features of the platform: - You can follow and copy experienced traders. - Deposit fiat or crypto and start trading in a few minutes. - Connected to multiple exchanges so you can get the best prices at any given time. - Users own their own private keys.

    Currently backed by: - Deloitte. - Osborne Clarke. - Ark. - Luminum Solutions.

    Stationed in the city center of Amsterdam, and lead by professional Dutch marketeers, engineers and techheads. You can check their LinkedIn profiles on Blockport.io.

    *It's currently trading only on Etherdelta. It started trading yesterday after the ICO was sold out in 12 minutes. You can pick it up at a current price of $0.42 while the ICO price was $0.37. Quick returns are easy with this one if you ask me. *

    God almighty we need exchanges with atomic swaps and decent trading pairs.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2018 08:30 PM PST

    I don't like to keep coins on exchanges for obvious reasons so when I want to get in on a trade I have to quickly send Bitcoin or Ethereum to the exchange.

    FUUUUCK Bitcoin sucks. Trade opportunity blown because this shitcoin travels slower than Hillary being dragged to a van.

    Is there any decentralized exchnage on the horizon and coins that use atomic swaps to make trading decent. Jesus christ this is supposed to be fast internet money and it takes hours to days.

    Futures

    Posted: 25 Jan 2018 03:04 PM PST

    Do future contract holders mainly use the contracts to hedge their positions for bitcoin? So someone with a long contract generally wants bitcoin to be pushed down? I read there were twice as many long contracts as short, but it didn't say the size, and amount of the contract. I am just trying to figure out the mindset of someone who took out a futures contract.

    Will POS make ethereum price drop long term?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2018 10:43 AM PST

    Hi all,

    Disclaimer: I'm hodling eth.

    My thinking is that the ethereum price is made up of actual costs, plus speculative value.

    Actual costs = cost of securing the network (bandwidth, electricity, hardware costs etc). This would be the price of an ether in a perfectly competitive market. In an equilibrium then as long of mining is profitable more miners will join the fun, reducing the profit for existing miners. Likewise if the price for an ether dropped then some miners would leave until equilibrium is reached. (I know crypto definitely isn't in perfect equilibrium but run with me here).

    Speculative cost = Hodlers who expect cost of securing the network to increase.

    So the only uses for the ether token are: participating in ICOs and paying for the cost of securing the network via block rewards and transaction fees. Vitalik has stated before he does not believe ether will be used a currency ever so this is not a use. Sorry for no sauce.

    Given ether will never be used as a currency we can assume any one that conducts an ICO will then cash out their ether to fiat in order to pay actual real world costs (salaries, rent).

    So whilst the ethereum network is growing and is POW then there is value in hodling.

    But once we move to POS then the cost of securing the network will drop dramatically removing the first source of value. The only way to get reward for securing the network will be transaction fees. Further if ethereum is to be a competitive platform there must be small transaction fees otherwise users and developers will migrate to a blockchain platform where the fees are smaller. So staking won't be very profitable as transaction fees between blockchains will be a race to the bottom. Even now we can see people migrating to the cheaper to use blockchains.

    The second source of value is ICOs. But given developers will cash out their tokens and will price their target market caps in a fiat target (ignoring the current eth rate) then users will simply be able to buy in to eth at the going rate and immediately commit it to the ICO of their choice.

    So there is no value of hodling eth once POS is completed? Is there even a point of hodling any POS coin?

    I imagine I am wrong as frankly Vitalik would have thought about this. Can anyone explain what will give ethereum value in the future and why anyone would want to stake coins?

    Edit: words, grammar, sentence structure, formatting, all sorts tbh.
