So are we all just going to ignore that dApps are a meme that nobody cares about? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 05:10 PM PDT We're all here because we believe "crypto is the future". It's going to disrupt the finance system as we know it, right? The truth is we are all here to make money. Stop lying to yourself. Please look at the amount of users who actually use dApps: https://www.stateofthedapps.com/rankings OmiseGo

I know what everyone is going to say:
Right, this same meme we have heard time and time again. If any of you have actually developed and released an app on the AppStore or the Play Store, these numbers are absolutely abysmal. It is mind-blowing how so much money was thrown at these projects, and a year later, this is the output and numbers to show for the amount of money raised. This is insane. Seriously. Even with $10,000-50,000 or so, you could EASILY run a social media campaign and get WAY more users. Where has all this money gone? The reason why we are in a bear market and will continue to be is because at the current stages, cryptocurrency and its usage has NO ADOPTION. NOTHING. All these threads you see on here are complete nonsense. "So and so believes it is the future" "Bitcoin ATM spotted in bumfuck Alaska!" "So and so is considering using blockchain technology" By the way, "so and so" considering using blockchain means (THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE USING YOUR SHITCOIN) So, I am a bagholder of shitcoins just like all of you. But in 2018, no one has delivered. You guys are sitting here thinking,
Bull runs only happen when it is UNEXPECTED and we do not know what the outcome is or when the endpoint is. This is what causes the continued FOMO, because what is the top? In this case we know the top is BTC at 20K. And we all have bags. And we all are now going, if this EVER goes on a run to 10K, I'm dropping my bags and rebuying. Guess what, if everyone is thinking like that, and there is no new money coming in, where is this bull run going to come from?! You cannot expect a bull run is going to happen just because you want your bags to go up. Who is going to buy those bags, when every single shitcoin has not proven ANYTHING? Maybe tomorrow or later this year, we will start to see some improvements. I honestly hope so. I want this all to thrive. But we have to get our heads out of the sand and realize what's going on. These projects got millions and millions in funding, underdelivered, and DUMPED their Ethereum for MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. While we baghold miserably waiting for other chumps to buy our coins (which as you can see, have 0 value). At the same time, these projects can't be held accountable because it is unregulated. We have no idea what they are doing with the funds. And they have barely any users. So, if we can have an actual discussion about what should happen. Where is this supposed to pivot to and where should our focus be? [link] [comments] | ||

Brazil Presidential Candidate Amoedo want to make Bitcoin legal currency Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:37 PM PDT

Posted: 09 Aug 2018 11:47 AM PDT Hey /r/cryptocurrency, I recently found out about B-Ex.io recently and decided to make an account there. I decided I wanted to sell some tokens and tether up for a little during this bear market, and they had volume/buy orders for the token I wanted to sell. So I deposited almost my entire crypto stash of tokens onto their exchange (over $70,000 worth). I won't state the coin/token I was trading. I apologize if this isn't that coherent - I am still kind of freaking out about this. The first odd thing I noticed were all the fake buy orders. When I tried to sell my tokens to the buyers, it just didn't do anything. My account balance stayed the same, and the buy orders just "vanished." Ok, whatever - lots of exchanges have fake volume and fake orders when they start out. So I placed some a bunch of open sell orders on the exchange and didn't think much of it. My account balance was still valued at just over 10 BTC. The next day when I logged into my account, I found that my account balance had randomly dropped from 10 BTC worth of tokens to 6 BTC worth of tokens. The exchange had removed all my open orders from my account and was now selling them on the market as their own. The tokens had completely vanished from my account. I realized what could possibly be happening and cautiously decided to withdraw my remaining 6.5 BTC-worth of funds - about $50,000 USD worth. I had a feeling they would not want me doing this, so I took a TON of screenshots of everything I did just be on the safe side. Trying to withdraw my tokens at first caused an error - you could not add a withdrawal address at all. I contacted the token project founder, who contacted the exchange and had them fix this. I then carefully added my lone withdrawal address to my account and submitted a withdrawal. I got a message that my withdrawal would need to be "approved manually". Figures. Several hours later I see the withdrawal went through on the blockchain, but NOT to the withdrawal address on my account, of course. It went to some random address. I had been on the exchange all day waiting to see what they would do and watching for odd behavior. For the entire day after I submitted my withdrawal, I only had one withdrawal address listed on my account and took screenshots of this to be sure. I found they added a SECOND withdrawal address to my account right when the withdrawal was approved. I knew exactly what they were going to do - try to blame me as "accidentally" adding the wrong withdrawal address to my account, then claim there was nothing they could do as it was my mistake. So now, they have 20k USD worth of tokens in their main exchange account that they will claim are theirs and never existed in my account (my open orders), and another 55k worth of tokens on an address that they will claim they have no access to. When I called them out by showing them all my screenshots of my withdrawal page and such, they immediately stopped answering me. I have been in crypto for over 6 years and NEVER keep my funds on exchanges except to make trades - I always remove my coins/tokens as soon as I'm done. I'm extremely cautious. I saw Mt. Gox, Bitgrail, and tons of other exchanges go down but the difference is that there were hacks/they were insolvent. In this case, B-Ex.io is straight up STEALING people's funds just because they want to. This is something I did not anticipate would ever happen to me - I've always felt my funds were safe so long as I deposit, do my trades, and then immediately withdraw. Clearly this is not always the case. Since this exchange is located in China I have no idea what to do or who to turn to to even have a chance of getting my funds back. I honestly just feel broken inside. This is a HUGE sum of money to me and essentially almost all of my savings. B-EX.io knows EXACTLY what they are doing, but will play it off like there were never any issues at all and all the mistakes were on the user's part if you email them. It's frustrating because everything takes place on their turf so the second you transfer funds there you have no say in what happens next. I'm all for decentralization, but this behavior is ridiculous, should be illegal, and needs to be dealt with if they continue to refuse to return my funds. If anybody knows what legal entities I can contact to have the best chance of getting my tokens back from them, please let me know. Also, for your own safety please do not deposit any funds there - from the time I deposited on that exchange I felt as if they treated my funds as if they were their own, and just did whatever they could with them to prevent me from getting them back. TL;DR: Used B-EX.io exchange, they scam me out of $75,000. They still hold my funds in 2 separate addresses, one of which is an official exchange address that they have proven they have control over, and refuse to return them to me. Edit: Yet another MAJOR victim as of a few hours ago: The 8th Continent Project tried to launch trading there as their project's first exchange listing, excited users deposited funds there to trade, and B-ex.io just kept them all: r/https://twitter.com/8thContinentBit/status/1027479585443733504 . /r/cryptocurrency, WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS. Edit2: Realize they are listing NEW COINS that are not on Binance, Bittrex, etc. This is why this scam is working so well. I didn't have the option to deposit my tokens to a major exchange, because it's not listed on any. Same with the 8th Continent scam that just happened today. This was the first exchange that listed them, so of course people will deposit there and try to use the exchange. [link] [comments] | ||

Blockchain modifying the oldest careers | Lawyers intertwining with smart contracts Posted: 10 Aug 2018 04:06 AM PDT "Smart Contracts main features are self-execution and no need of trusted third party. However, the key issue is that a casual person cannot read the code and understand what the contract states (either it is an ICO investment contract, loan, or gambling). That's where I see lawyers could come into play. Understanding the law and smart contract code could lead to greater insights for the customer. Of course, it will be hard to start, but learning the basics of coding (e.g. javascript), and then switching to Solidity, would help lawyer to gain competitive advantage and provide extra insights for their clients ". read more here [link] [comments] | ||
