    NOOBS INVESTORS: Stop bombarding subreddits with FUD over price drops.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2018 12:33 PM PST

    Its getting out if control.

    Before you start posting questions/complaints :

    • Scan the entire market.

    If you see just about everything in red, its the entire market. It isn't a problem with the crypto you are holding.

    • Look at Bitcoin charts

    If bitcoin starts dipping, almost everything dips.

    This is because everything is still priced in BTC. BTC is still used as a universal price comparison. If buy orders are up for .001 BTC each while the price of BTC is dropping...the USD price for your crypto drops by default. You don't need to master blockchain tech to know this. However, You might need to have completed at least one year in high school with at least C+ in math for this to come as common sense.

    Maturity might be part of issue here, I know some of you are probably 13 and probably used your allowance money to convince mommy to use her debit card for your first investment.

    I for one, and many here just want to read the latest updates on our investments without having to scroll through multiple posts with titles ..,

    what's going on with the price?

    the price is dipping because were not on big exchages yet

    EVERYTIME THE MARKET DIPS WE HAVE TO SEE THIS GARABGE!

    Just go out and get some exercise. HOLY SHIT!

    A look at Blockchain and the education sector

    Posted: 06 Mar 2018 07:15 PM PST

    Blockchain technology is nothing short of amazing and besides the obvious benefits it brings to the economic sector; this technology has the ability to change the world as we know it. There is much to celebrate across all industries as new and innovative blockchain-based technologies continue to see growing adoption.

    After a 9-year wait, blockchain technology is finally making its way into our educational system and thanks to some innovative projects currently in the works, this year may be the first time we see blockchain-technologies instituted into our schools.

    My mom is a teacher and I've been trying to convince her about the merits of Blockchain, I thought by doing some research on Blockchain-education platforms, I'd be able to convince her.

    Bitdegree

    The Bitdegree platform utilizes an innovative rewards system to incentivize learning through the platform. In this way, Bitdegree gives employers the unique opportunity to develop tech-talent and monitor progress of an individual as their skills develop. This platform is seeking to bridge the ever-growing gap between college education and real-use scenarios.

    Bitdegree tokens can be used as scholarships and rewards, furthering the application use of this platform. This concept is a great way to get world-class companies in touch with blockchain professionals. The best part about the Bitdegree protocol is that it is to be launched utilizing the existing Hostinger and 000webhost network of 29,000,000 users.

    Ntok

    Ntok promises to change the way we think of learning in general by incentivizing your talents through their unique sharing platform. Ntok is hoping to become the first tokenized talent sharing platform in the world. This means that you can get paid for sharing your experience with students looking to further their profession.

    The platform functions like any gig-type website in that you search through profiles until you find someone that meets your criteria. Once you have found your professional, you can book a learning session from the individual at a preset rate. All transactions on the platform are handled through the use of the NTOK tokens and individuals can tokenize their own self-development.

    Tutellus

    The Tutellus platform functions off of a pay-for-learning crypto scale. The more time you invest in learning, the more crypto you receive. One of the unique features of this platform is that it actually pays its users for studying and you can receive additional bonuses for relevance.

    Teachers are also handsomely rewarded for their efforts on this platform. Teachers get more flexibility on how they deliver their content with Tutellus and through the platforms unique subscription-based commissions protocol, popular teachers can receive some serious crypto for their contributions to the community.

    BitSchool

    BitSchool takes the most scientific approach toward creating a personalized learning experience for all learners. It utilizes a comprehensive set of artificial intelligence applications that will allow teachers and tutors to perform accurate assessments of the student's knowledge gap and the areas they need to improve first and foremost. This systematic, targeted approach will further be assisted by BitSchool's ability to intelligently generate learning resources that fit the student's learning need, style and pathway. The thorough personalized learning environment created by the Adaptive AI app will be perfected by BitSchool's Tutors who will provide instant micro-lessons which target and resolve specific questions or subjects that students need to tackle right there and then.

    Bitschool's learning system promises to be a real game-changer in the educational sector, as by using the platform, there is the ability to accurately and simultaneously track large numbers of students' learning processes, and provide timely and focused intervention. This project also leverages blockchain for powering their token reward programs to, expand the AI database, and improve the platform. In particular, this project's usage of tokens to issue scholarship through the GoGreenFund to provide equal learning opportunities to low-income students globally shows a very positive impact the blockchain technology can have on the wider.

    Bitschool also has a live MVP which pushes them ahead of many other projects. The UI leaves a little to be desired but it works which is a plus.

    BitLearn

    BitLearn is seeking to take another approach to the concept of blockchain-based learning systems with the introduction of their gamified learning platform. BitLearn combines incentivized learning systems with mobile app technology to give users an easy way to further their educational aspirations.

    This network is seeking to become a skills ledger that incorporates Microsaving technologies to help users cover future learning expenses. If you live in the United States, where college tuitions are at an all-time high, then you can appreciate the concept behind this platform. Users will also be able to access their transcripts directly without the need of a third-party.

    LiveEdu

    LiveEdu is looking to take project-based learning to the next level with their ingenuitive new platform. Imagine if YouTube would pay you to teach your Web-based skills to viewers around the globe, LiveEdu will. This platform is gearing up to be the largest project-based learning library ever gathered.

    Users will be able to sharpen their skills in topics such as programming, game development, blockchain protocols, artificial intelligence, and a number of other highly-skilled professions. In addition, all of the content is available for both download and live stream to users. This platform is gaining steam in the cryptocommunity and it will be interesting to watch it develop over the coming months.

    A Brighter Blockchain Future Out of all of these upcoming ICOs, my favorite is Bitschool. It's one of the most unique concepts proposed to the educational system because it is not just improving certain aspects of how we teach, but the idea of creating the ideal individualized learning environment could revolutionalize the way we teach. This platform accurately captures and targets the most critical challenge that has been posed to our education system - namely the lack of personalized attention required by each individual students - by incorporating the best parts of the technologies that currently exist to form the ultimate solution. Also all users are rewarded for their efforts and by incorporating a bidding system; everyone is guaranteed a fair rate for their work.

    These projects are all amazing in their own right, with each bringing unique benefits to the struggling educational system. It will be interesting to see which of these technologies can find a home in our schools and online learning institutions. Please let me know what you think below in the comments, I'd be happy to hear!

    Posted: 06 Mar 2018 09:05 PM PST

    It's liberating when you realize that no one actually has a clue what they're talking about regarding this market.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2018 03:35 PM PST

    I got into crypto almost a year ago. It's been an incredible experience learning about Bitcoin, blockchain, and other cryptos. While it's game-changing technology and a potentially great investment, it has also been a tremendously fun hobby and given me countless hours of reading, entertainment, learning, and even new relationships. It's awesome to see this community growing at the pace it has and I hope to see it continue long into the future because this is something I'd like to stay involved in for the rest of my life.

    With that said, the amount of bogus information and speculation on Reddit regarding the crypto market is painful to endure. For those that are newbs, which I still in some ways consider myself pretty new to this, it is easy to get caught up in the forecasting and high or low expectations for Bitcoin and other coin prices. Everyone obviously wants to see this market continue to boom, and positivity is a great thing. But there is a big difference between positivity and downright bogus speculation. The same goes for those that predict bear markets and crashes. The uninformed predictions of the market plummeting are no different. I may be overshooting this a little, but I'd say that more than 99% of what I read on Reddit regarding the market falls into the bogus speculation category. That is not a good look on cryptocurrency as a whole. We need to be realists, and the reality is that being a realist about crypto means admitting that you just have no fucking clue whatsoever.

    I only came to terms with this myself around January. And let me tell you that it has been so liberating. The freedom I feel knowing that speculative posts on Reddit no longer have any effect on me is hard to describe. With this newfound freedom, my interest and focus on crypto and blockchain has only grown stronger. So newbs, and everyone, take a moment and reflect on what you want out of this. Focus on your own personal understanding of crypto and its benefits and downfalls. Learn, learn, and learn, but use valid sources of information, not speculation. In closing, I'll admit I'm a HODLer. But you do you and enjoy the fact that you get to be involved in the early stages of some incredible technology.
