Bancor Prevents Pump and Dumps

Recently a pump and dump group took aim at BNT, the network token that allows Bancor to provide continuous and instant conversion between Smart Tokens™ in the Bancor Network. The pump failed to reach its target price and the reaction of BNT to the attempt demonstrates how Bancor uses smart contracts to create a price anchor that protects tokens against artificial price inflation.

That's an interesting news! When exactly did it happen? How di you find out it was happening (and failing?) Details would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Also the article doesn't provide details on all details, even though for some it does.

The passive income possibility is a big plus, but it also makes BNT more likely to be qualified as a security, doesn't it?

The Bancor interface is very concise and clear, and I've got used to these operations. It's really great.

That's good to know but it doesn't answer my question Wink

Is it right to assume that BNT might be qualified as a security if it provides passive income streams or is that basically irrelevant?

I don't think BNT could be considered security, because you won't get any income solely by holding this tokens. I'm pretty sure it qualifies as utility, but you can't be 100% sure what SEC can come up with...

Got you. I was just coming up with that idea because someone mentioned a passive income stream. And that is a major characteristic of a security and the SEC will do everything in their power to qualify as many tokens as a security as possible.

By the way, in the future on bancor it will be possible to receive the passive income. Read the Whitepaper. But this is like renting a token.

That is what I was also referring to. The problem is that it doesn't really matter that much how you call that "process". Whether it is "utility" or "renting a token" or whatever, the authorities will most likely tend towards qualifying it as a security and you need very strong arguments against their case.

Well, looking for currently price and it is traded about 3USD, Bancor token is now so undervaluated crypto. I do not know who is selling for this price, I see how Bancor grows, but price is dropping. Hate bear market.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do with the bear market.. We need to wait and hope for the price to rise. Bancor is a strong project!!

Yes, yes, yes. We it hear words already long ago. Unfortunately for investors it is the truth and heavy very much at such moments of falling of the market. I personally at such moments begin to buy more coins on the future. And now still the market begins to move slowly. So such opportunity can already not be. Fools are many, now it is necessary to buy what is pleasant.

'Smart Tokens 101', a classic article by Bancor's Eyal Hertzog. Consider it required reading for anyone considering themselves a student of this space:

...The first thing to understand is that smart tokens are money that hold money. This means that the smart contract which operates the token “owns” units of at least one other token (smart contracts can do that). We refer to those other tokens as “reserves”, similar to how a central bank which issues a currency also owns foreign currency reserves...

Thanks fro sharing this article surely it will attract so many new investors to read and know the approach of dev team. This project has very talented persons behind this and that is the big reason for me to keep this on hold for long term. I believe soon it will become more valuable.

The biggest cause for Bancor's drop in price is ETH's recent loss of value. Until today BNT didn't succeed yet to acquire a totally independent price versus ETH. The market is still taking into account a strong link between these two assets.
