Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

Used binance for the first time today as NEO not available on kraken

Not the worst but I found kraken a simpler platform

Not sure why that guy is being singled out. All crypto coins and tokens are "printed" (most exchanges have their own native token). Whether they are worth anything is up to the secondary market that speculates on them.

you can't print bitcoin

That's pretty much what happened.

It's estimated Satoshi (or whomever created BTC) has a million of them.

Just depends on how generous the creator is, whether they keep a portion for themselves, lock it up as part of development goals for the team as a whole, give a "fair chance" to the public via some sort of mining mechanism (many have a pre-mine), etc

Most exchanges now have their own tokens, I'm not sure why that would mark the owner of Binance out as particularly shady

1. Precisely.

2. If consensus (and by "consensus" I mean "Blockstream") agreed to it 21m would become 210m overnight and that's something that has been talked about ad infinitum by the Blockstream devs.

21m is not not as set in stone as people think and the people who should be trusted least are in charge of that change. Which is quite funny.

ll.
It doesn't say 21 million coins in the code - the release schedule of the coins adds up to 21 million.

The total real value of the network wouldn't change if they increased the supply x10

The 21 million coins is pretty much arbitrary as the smallest unit of a BTC is 0.00000001 BTC.

Satoshi mined the BTC at the beginning.
Nothing was printed.

What is this? I'm grand with it being some ****coin base-layer entry-point for the time being, but it's no Monero. If coins can be tainted it's not as malleable.
It's 2020, I really wish BTC wasn't the leader of shítcoins. :pac:

Needless pedantry? Whomever it is or was has 5% of the money unless they're dead. Which is fine imo, but it's there and it's theirs.

There's bitcoin and then there's everything else - that will never change despite how heavy your ****coin bags (and mine) are

grindle · 01-03-2020 09:41PM

So because it was first and the ticker is infallible we should welcome Greg, LukeJR and Adam Back as the leaders of the NWO? I'd trust Trump before those scaldy yokes.

The point of it was to start something. Something to grow from and build upon. Satoshi didn't want people married to a ticker. It's kinda weird.

Lex Luthor · 02-03-2020 04:11PM

Nice to see green all round today after last week....

LINK looks really good

Started staking NEO aswell today...

Onwards & upwards

jimmii · 02-03-2020 04:38PM

Link is definitely fun to own! It's the proper crypto rollercoaster like btc of old!

Lex Luthor · 02-03-2020 09:39PM

Think that’s the end of the pre halving dip

Tomorrow is going to probably be like today if not better

NEO is gonna moon, massive whale activity on it last week with huge buy orders

Lex Luthor · 03-03-2020 09:28AM

Taking everything I have off Binance, just saying

something I heard about their domain name potentially being removed

Lex Luthor · 03-03-2020 09:30AM

It looks like DOW could be going to have another red day, not sure how that will affect crypto

Lex Luthor · 04-03-2020 09:17AM

hmmm: Chainlink parnership with Google & Microsoft
explains the pump in the last 24hrs

Also, ban lifted in India on crypto, this is massive.

"It’s time for big business to embrace the public chain – as a coordination tool, rather than as a place to carry out large-scale financial transactions.

That’s the view of a trio of heavy hitters in the enterprise blockchain space: EY, ConsenSys and Microsoft."

"The Baseline Protocol code will be released later this month and a technical steering committee is also being formed which includes EY, Microsoft, Splunk, ConsenSys, MakerDAO, Duke University, ChainLink, Unibright, Envision Blockchain, Neocova, Core Convergence, Provide and W3BCloud"

Lex Luthor · 05-03-2020 08:15AM

picked up some Tezos yesterday @ €2.66, this could have more legs

LINK looks over valued at the moment, setting my stop loss now as I'm fearful of a retracement today

Lex Luthor · 05-03-2020 09:25AM

With the BTC halving approaching what are peoples thoughts?

Looking at it historically on the past 2, we should see gains after the halving, but my gut feeling tells me otherwise this time around. The greed & fear index is going to bounce around like a yo yo this year trying to flush out any weak hands and there is going to be a lot of manipulation playing on that

I think we will have to wait until 2021 before we see anything north of $10,500-$11,000

So as a coordination tool? And not a monetary system..

So where is the utility value in these tokens? Or any of these tokens for that matter?

I agree can't see it causing much of a run. If anything I think it's just been priced in slowly over the last couple of months. Having said that I think we could see it within that range this year still.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 05-03-2020 11:44AM

I think we could see a 20% drop from here prior to the halving or just after, but reckon we'll start marching up towards $14,000 before the year is out.

20% drop would see it go below the 20 Week MA

If that were to happen it wouldnt be a good scenario

I think it'll be a temporary scenario while miners dump to fund future mining until pricing catches up.
