    Always ask decentralized projects: What happens when your company is shut down?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 01:40 PM PDT

    I work as a technical consultant for VCs. We are dealing with a lot of blockchain/decentralised/... projects asking for funding or participating in ICOs.

    One thing in particular is recurring over and over again. There is some idea which is not so bad, could improve certain industry or solve a problem in a new way and there is somewhat good technology in the project that deals with the problem well and then all this is connected to the blockchain and of course a new token is created for this. More often than not the token is used as a fuel in the new economy around this solution.

    My favourite question is in the title. What happens if the company developing the solution, usually charging some kind of fee for some kind of intermediary service in this ecosystem, is shut down? And my favourite reply from one of the CTO's of the projects that we rejected was: "Obviously it will stop working because we have this and this running on our servers and users are coming to our website where they..." and then when I asked why do they need a blockchain and claim to be decentralised if there is such obvious single point of failure, the answer was "Everyone is doing it like that". And it is being done to be able to inflate valuation of the project 5x-50x because of the blockchain hype (pre-money, pre-product, pre-user valuations over $10M are not rare in this space). And of course to sell some tokens for extra free money, which is always handy.

    So, I'm not saying that such projects with somewhat good technology behind that solves a real-world problem cannot make money. Some definitely can make money, but they are not honest to their users or their investors. If you're type of investor who only wants to make more money then it could be a good investment. But if you care about how the money is being made then please ask this question and reject dishonest projects.

    More often than not you can apply what Andreas Antonopoulos repeated over and over again "you don't need a blockchain for that". You don't need a blockchain for that if you don't need to protect the project from being shutdown by a government or circumvent some kind of legislation barrier and basically survive no matter who dislikes it. You don't need a blockchain for that if you have a built in single point of [total] failure because you very much can just add a database to that point and you will have a cheaper and a faster solution that works better than what you propose.

    Need Some Exchange Advice

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:12 PM PDT

    I've been using Binance and 3Commas together for quite some time. Being in the US, now Binance is a no-go as of a couple of weeks ago.

    I'm looking for a similar setup, where I can use 3C to access the exchange and handle sell targets and stop loss. I've tried Beaxy (no integration with 3C) Binance US (no integration) Kucoin (can't verify US customers) and Bittrex (can verify, works with 3commas, but lacks most trading pairs I want to use).

    Any advice where to go from here? It's incredibly frustrating.

    Which popular exchanges are US friendly right now?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:49 PM PDT

    It seems like most of the big name exchanges are no longer US friendly, or have a ton of restrictions around which US states they accept and which they do not.

    Can anyone share which popular crypto exchanges are US friendly and which are not? Or is someone keeping an up to date list going somewhere?

    Thanks

    Here's my list so far

    Coinbase
    Gemini
    Bittrex
    Binance.us (But it has a FRACTION of the features compared to Binance.com, and does not support all US states which is really lame!)
    Kraken

    Any others?

    [Question] a layman's question.

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 12:40 AM PDT

    If something that is considered valuable (Bitcoin), has a finite amount that can ever be 'mined', wouldn't it be obvious, that as time goes by and more and more of these things are mined and consequently, less and less remains unmined, the price of the thing goes up more and more. Therefore, is there any point worrying about the price of bitcoin fluctuating so rapsodically? Wouldn't it make much more sense to just chill out, knowing that no matter what, the thing you have invested in, will only ever go up in price, as it is considered valuable and it's scarce?

    I am a total layman when it comes to trading and markets and whatnot. I am just relying on common sense.
