sicarious‏ @Sicarious_
You can smell the panic in the air this week. A few thoughts: After buying #bitcoin at $1000 late 2013 (the equivalent of last year's $20k buyers), I rode it down to sub $200 & thought crypto might be dead. Both BTC & Alts had their day in the sun again.

Secondly, 90% of the alts I owned in 2015 don't exist anymore & I can't even remember half the tickers. This presents both a warning & an opportunity, take from it what you will.

The billions of dollars currently being poured into infrastructure supporting the $crypto industry is very compelling. #Bitcoin and altcoins are here to stay. And finding winners that will emerge from this purge has never been easier.

That said, I'm hurting right now too. Definitely used better risk management & patience than last time around, but I still started scaling in too soon. Crypto bear markets bite deeeeep. Sleeping easy though, this not being my first rodeo.

Survive, learn, grow, adapt, make mistakes, and execute even better next cycle. The sun shines tomorrow.

Phil ‏ @PhilCrypto77
The longer we stay “down” and “sideways” all while pipeline, plumbing, and infrastructure is being built for institutions... the bigger the next bull run will inevitably be.

      AwyeeBitcoin‏ @DeaterBob
Remember the last bear when all these big companies started to accept BTC as payment and nothing happened? And then 2 year later........

      Phil ‏ @PhilCrypto77
Yeah, I’d argue retail infrastructure built during 2014/2015 led to the bull though

      AwyeeBitcoin‏ @DeaterBob
That and the halving


Frank Chaparro‏ @fintechfrank
A year ago, executives at the major stock exchanges would describe crypto as "a fad," "dangerous" and "nothing they were taking seriously." Today NYSE announced a project with Microsoft and Starbucks to create a digital asset ecosystem. The tune change has been massive.


Mike Dudas‏ @mdudas
Starbucks is the smartest retailer in the world at payments. Their support of “pay for coffee with Bitcoin” is better than your Twitter hot take that “people should never pay for anything with a speculative asset.”

From @Starbucks' perspective, there are some interesting implications on FX / conversion if I'm able to pay off my Starbucks Card in the mobile app in the same currency globally. If Starbucks adopts Bitcoin for this use case, goodbye and good night @Ripple $XRP.


Luke Martin‏ @VentureCoinist
First long $ETH trade in a while. I like it under $420, on the back of a nice $btc bounce today. It helps that $eth is also along the channel support, which has been a historically good guide of cheap....close below 406 and I'm out

First long $ETH trade in a while. I like it under $420 at this support, on the back of a nice $btc bounce today. Close below 406$ and its void. Helps that $ETH is along channel support in bitcoin terms too, which has historically been a sign of cheap.


DonAlt‏ @CryptoDonAlt
Nailing the altcoin bottom is extremely difficult. I managed to do it last time but I'm not willing to risk missing the ship so I'm buying early this time. I'm more than willing to lose 20-30% on these and I hold far more BTC than alts. Just started my positions, adding later.

Today the ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) announced that it’s building a new crypto ecosystems called “Bakkt”. There’s a lot of pro’s and con’s listed in this article but here are some of the noteworthy ones I’ve summed up on this ‘double-edge sword’.
Pros:
○Shows that institutions are moving WITH cryptocurrencies, not againsts
○Build credibility--qualified custodians recognized by the SEC are needed for large institutional investors to be able to play ball
○Will attract corporate issuers to raise capital via Bakkt
Cons:
○Allows for more manipulation opportunities of coins if there are more financial claims per coins available
○“Eventually it’s likely regulators will approve bitcoin-settled derivatives among major derivatives counter parties. At that point, banks will be looking to borrow the underlying bitcoin
○This may make it hard to borrow crypto for a period of time because those who HODL rarely use custodians
Why should you care?
We all know a lot of BTC’s value derives from it’s algorithmically-based scarcity factor (aka there will only ever be an estimated 21 million coins) If Wall Street can suddenly create claims to bitcoin out of thin air, unbacked by actual the actual bitcoin, then there’s the potential for Wall Street to offset some of that scarcity. Something to be aware of in the upcoming years.

Lending BTC without the underlying asset is a fools errand.
Beauty of BTC is that it doesn’t give a shit what everyone else does in terms of fundamentals. If someone is dumb enough to over extend and buy a scarce asset, backed by nothing, they deserve to get burned - and they will get burned.
Surprising that they went through with this after the OKEX debacle.
It continues to make no sense why people opt to buy bitcoin services when it is so easy to just buy bitcoin itself.
ETFs make a little more sense because it allows for bitcoin to be wrapped into bigger portfolios, but lending btc? Yikes.

After many months of hard work, failures, firings, and question marks, I’m excited to finally announce Cryptosheets!


Ciaran Morrall
Very new to ‘day trading’ .
Basically before the big crypto crash I invested £300 into BTC on gdax. The price fell alittle but I thought to myself ‘it will go back up soon enough’ and obivously it didn’t.
I forgot about my account and now it’s worth £118.
Should I close the trade and accept the lose now or,
Carry on learning day trading and leave the trade till I know what to do with the money.
Smart advice would be appreciated guys.
(By the way £300 is a fairly large amount to me, still a work man on minimum wage sadly. Please take that into account before answering)
Cheers guys.

      Jeremy Kochel
A question you have to ask yourself and only you will know the answer is "Can you live without that 118?" If so.......just let it sit.

      Seth McGathey
Highly recommend leaving it for now (and this is coming from someone who often speaks against HODLing and for trading). But I usually recommend that people hold their coins until they know how to trade better. (This can take years to get good at). And so maybe take an amount that you do not consider a lot, and trade it a little, see how you do, and see if you out can win more than you lose. Then you can try it will a little more.

But right now is a good time to hold on in my opinion. The market is showing signs of a bull market, and so selling now might mean you are selling at the bottom.

      Vygantas Zv
300 pounds are more than half of average salary in my country so I understand you...basically what happened is, that u bought btc for hgher price than it is now...if it is worth 118 pounds, I assume u bought btc at around 19k usd, which means december,when many ppl got fomoed and got fucked up later...in the future, u never buy on the rise or top, u buy the dips. For now ur options are: a) sell at a loss and get into some alts or icos and try to make up or that loss, b) hold and wait for a bull run, which will make ur loss smaller, c) try to swing btc and dollar cost average. Options a and c require research and certain knowledge. The thing is, that u just see the value in usd, but until u actually sell, loss is only on paper...


Alexander Hagen
One of my favourite free Fundamental sources has to be Cryptopanic. They have all the news of all projects. Just fill in the ticker and you will find all articles and posts regarding that project. I started using it in February and it has improved a lot since then.

I also like how you can comment on each post with bullish, bearish, toxic etc.

Give it a try, it will definitely cut down research time on Reddit, Google etc.

Scatter, for all browsers.
by grandmoren

Updates time!

There's a new importable JavaScript library called scatter-js. https://github.com/GetScatter/scatter-js

It can be freely imported into any web or desktop javascript app. npm i --save scatter-js

This library completely removes the need for extensions, and makes Scatter Desktop compatible with all browsers ( Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Safari, IE ).

However, it also catches the extension ( Scatter Classic ) if that is what the user has installed, so you can instantly use it in your projects.

How to use DAI in own smart contract?
by bananaofakind

I don't have exact understanding on how to use DAI in my own smart contract. Is it possible without creating own token? As i understand, all token holder info is stored inside of DAI's smart contract, so the way to go is to have my smart contract buy DAI (so in DAI's smart contract mapping my smart contracts address will have some DAI), which i can transfer by calling DAis contract and requesting the transfer. However this brings transfer fees. So i guess the finite question is how to create a smart contract which utilizes DAIs stability and in the end will cost the less for the end user? Should i go with own token which holds corresponding amount of DAI?

Can I park my money with dai? does that makes sense?
by ebwvibfhwbovchwdshjd

I was wondering: is it logical to "park" some money (that is - eth, btc, other coins) by purchasing dai on the open market (not a loan!)?

So if I want to avoid volatility, I thought I can:
go to a dex where dai is offered
convert my current coin into dai (let's say - btc to dai or eth to dai)
sit on it till i feel like it
sell dai for asset again

does this makes any sense? in a case where I am not borrowing, that is (dai isn't created).

Using the Bancor API to arbitrage over the MKR and DAI Bancor token pairs
by cryptopascal

Bancor https://www.bancor.network/ enables conversion from ETH and any of its 60-ish listed tokens to and from both MKR and DAI.

What is little known, is that Bancor also has an API, so this arbitrage can be fully automated:
https://support.bancor.network/hc/en-us/sections/360001492551-Developer-Tools

Conversion can also happen via a smart contract call: https://support.bancor.network/hc/en-us/articles/360000878832-How-to-use-the-quickConvert-function

So who are we buying low?
by BobbyLeeSwaggerr

We haven’t seen too many focused (semi) discussions as of late on this Sub like the old days. I would like to get this going.

This is likely the 10th time this has been posted since February, however I believe now to be a decent (we hope) buying opportunity before Alt season kicks back up in a few months/weeks/who the hell knows.

I personally am interested in heavily oversold coins such as Neblio, Factom, GVT, and Modum and few others.

Who are you guys buying right now at these levels?

EOS still leaves a question: was it all worth $4 Billion?
Finrazor Team

Huobi received 8,000 BTC from the unknown whale, EOS is up and running and Ethereum developers are worried about losing the race.

One of the biggest Bitcoin whales transferred a part of his funds onto Huobi

This unknown whale still has 86,000 Bitcoins stored on one address, and additional 8,000
Bitcoins that he may sell on exchange.

As we see a downtrend continuation, many questions arise in relation to manipulation by whales. First it was the trustee of Mt.Gox dumping Bitcoins on free market instead of selling them off the market and not harming the price. Now we have this whale. But the truth is that whales always end up with more assets that they accumulate after dumping their initial holdings.

The scheme is pretty simple: market sell all your funds in one chunk, trigger the avalanche of stop losses and liquidations and start buying much lower, then let the price grow and repeat. Familiar, isn’t it?

BitNautic Joins Investment Partnership with Alchemy Coin
BitNautic

BitNautic engages in a new collaboration with the Hong Kong based company, which is building a blockchain-based peer-to-peer lending marketplace.

Breaking News — BitNautic has joined hands with Alchemy Coin, a rising star in the blockchain lending sector.

The investment partnership will allow both companies to diversify their assets, reducing risk in an unstable market such as that of cryptocurrencies. “You can’t make it on your own — it’s too hard ” says Alchemy Coin CEO Justin Jung, who sold his first company for seven-figures while in college. “Adapting to the current environment is what separates winners and losers in the ICO space. BitNautic has already demonstrated that they will be a dominant player in the trillion-dollar global shipping- and logistics-industry, and we are honored to call them partners.”

Giant blockchain: the best features of Dash and Ethereum
Giant Project

The Giant blockchain technology is a synthesis of the most advanced solutions invented by various coders across the world. This material describes how and why our team has decided to implement some useful elements of the major digital currency projects and about their current disadvantages.

Consensus algorithm
The blockchain of Giant can be basically described as a protocol with a network of nodes and its own unique system of contracts based on PoW (Proof-of-Work) and later — PoS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus algorithms. To be more precise, we are going to move to PoS in the next 9 months from the current PoW hashing algorithm called Quark. The upcoming PoS structure will resemble PIVX, with some elements taken directly from this cryptocurrency project. The Proof-of-Work algorithm ensures rewards for mining, whilst the Proof-of-Stakes puts first those who own more cryptocurrency units. Sometimes (but not in the case of Giant) these two approaches are merged together, for example, in Emercoin.

Which coins influenced us: DASH -> PIVX -> ALQO
Dash — a sophisticated variation of Bitcoin technology — has a useful technology of masternodes which was later repeated in PIVX and ALQO. Masternodes are computers which are being operated by the members of the cryptocurrency community and used to sustain the network. Usual nodes have less rights and perform simpler digital currency network tasks.

EOSBet Update: Why We Are Building on EOS & Pre-Sale Info!
EOSBetCasino

We Got Love for EOS

About a half a year ago, we made the decision to move our platform from Ethereum to EOS. Our development team was frustrated with the scalability issues of the Ethereum network, which prevented us from building the quality of games we wanted to provide our players.

So far, the decision to develop on EOS has undoubtedly felt like the right one. We’ve been continually wowed by the EOS community, and the support we’ve received from other developers, block producers, block.one, and EOS fans has been unlike anything we experienced on Ethereum, even as a top-trafficked Dapp.

Equally important, it’s been a breeze building on EOS. Having the ability to use any C++ library has been a refreshing change from the constraints of Solidity, and our devs were amazed when bets completed end-to-end in under 2 seconds — before our roll animation had even finished.
