    What is ICON (ICX)? "A decentralized applications platform with the additional feature of interlinking various blockchains. It uses a unique Loop Fault Tolerance (LFT) algorithm as a consensus mechanism". Probably the most robust and detailed article about ICON I've seen, shared by the ICON team.

    What is the purpose of BCH? and payment coins that are neither the #1, or #1 when it comes to fundamentals. No FUD, wondering why I Shouldn't sell those.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2018 01:06 AM PST

    Good saturday folks

    BTC core is coming out with LN. That is going to be extremely fast. (I Personally have no faith in it, but that is another topic).

    NANO has instant, no fees transactions. No fees!

    IOTA has about the same as NANO (though IOTA is currently under development).

    Could anyone then tell me why I should keep my BCH?

    I'm picturing a scenario 10 years from now. I'm going to sell my old 1080 TI card to my buddy for 10$. He comes over to my house, it checks out, and he asks me what I want to get payed with. I answer him "whatever, doesnt matter". Because with NANO it takes 2 seconds and its done. With BCH it takes 2 seconds for the transaction to reach the mempool and I don't need the confirmation for such low sum of money.

    But the next month, I'm selling my car. Since I was the crypto king in my town, its not just any car. Its the "Future car name here" that costs 50M $!

    Buyer comes by. Everything checks, and he wishes to pay. Logically, I would take NANO this time. I get the entire amount instantly. And he can take the keys and drive home.

    With BCH I would need at least 6 confirmations to trust such a huge sum of money to be valid transfered. He would have to come back later, or stick around playing video games with me until it was complete.

    So why BCH? (Or LTC, Monero, or X coin that falls between the most popular, and the best tech).

    What is the pros of BCH that overweighs the wait time?

    Hoping for a great answer.

    Have a nice weekend in the meantime.

    cheers

    Anyone else hodling because they don’t want to deal with taxes?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2018 04:29 PM PST

    I'm hodling so I don't have to worry about the taxes for trading crypto. I'll potentially sell in a year but I haven't capitalized on the shorting opportunities recently because of how annoying taxes can be. Anyone else hodling to be stress-free?

    PSA to those about to FOMO

    Posted: 23 Feb 2018 04:53 PM PST

    Don't do it! That's all that really needs to be said but I know you'll want more reason than that.

    Treat the market like a carnival ride. When you see the ride moving, everyone on it is having a great time - it looks like the best time to jump on board. WRONG. No one jumps on a ride when it's moving, that's how you get decapitated. It will not end well for you no matter how much fun it appears everyone is having. What you want to do is wait for the ride to come to a complete halt and for everyone to get off. Sure, the ride might not look as exciting, and the fact not many people are getting on it now will fill you with some doubt and make you wonder if this ride is as fun as you really think it is. In these moments you need to remember how much fun you saw the other people having. Remember how much it made you want to enjoy that ride with everyone else. Or you can choose to wait. Until everyone piles on again. And the ride comes alive once more. To have you sitting on the sidelines watching all the thrills and spills, while you eye all the decapitated corpses and think to yourself, "If I just sneak one foot on at the right angle I could jusISHDIASHLFSPLAT-!"

    Wait for the ride to stop, or don't get on at all. It's not worth losing your head.
