Nice to see Factom team s being present here and there. Still, I d like to see some update about M2.

Seems like a cool event I want to attend one.

You say something that is most likely very true. For those who are new to Factom it may be hard to understand some aspects and to find the informations they need. At least there is no document or site that gives it all on one look. But that was already the same when it got my attention, back in October. And it's the same for all other projects that are worth to do research about.

And my advice to everybody, and it's really meant as advice not just as an attempt to hype Factom: It will most likely turn out as a mistake not to invest some time and energy to dig deeper about this project.

The reason is simple: I don't know of any other project in Crypto that already has so deep connections to the real business-world and that is so professional in all areas. At the same time it's not a hype-project. They don't do any PR for Factoids and they don't focus on people like us because Factom doesn't even need this kind of adoption, which is just another great strength. They focus on potential customers and they are more than just good with that.

All together, exactly that is an opportunity for those who invest some time to find out for themselves. In comparison with some other projects, Factom is far ahead while it doesn't get that much attention like Ethereum or Lisk or Waves and some other projects around. The marketcap of Factom is not even $ 10 Mio. The marketcap of Waves is at > $ 20 Mio. Ethereum is still near to $ 1 bn, after news came out that their coding-language (Solidity) is flawed and economical they are in big trouble as well (The DAO-ETH will reach the market in another way it was intended).

And there is one big misconception in Crypto: People see high prices and come to the conclusion that a project is worth it because others seem to believe it. People see low prices and come to the conclusion there must be something wrong. But the main-reason for high prices of a project is just the hype around it. And there is no hype in Factom. This project will prove it's value for real.

So, it's most likely still very cheap because it simply doesn't get that much attention and is not that easy to understand. But who wants to be on the smart side of the market should do the work to find out what this is about instead of stepping back because it needs more than just 10 minutes. And the majority of Crypto-Investors are lazy as hell... just following others. In the end, DAO is a great example how that very often turns out. Blind people leading the blinds. I know for sure that a lot of Investors who bought into the DAO-CFC never understood what it is (was) about. And while the leaders understood very well what it should be about, and of course they focused on the DAO-money to fund their slock.it-project, they were not able to do it right and now it's a disaster.

And everybody who doesn't do research, who doesn't want to think for himself, shouldn't complain if things end in a mess. One misconception of The DAO was about "swarm-intelligence". It's a myth. Swarm-intelligence is nearly always about the intelligence of a small group on top of a crowd and in all areas where big money is involved, there are hidden intentions the public wouldn't like if they would really understand what it's about instead of being used for those hidden intentions. Crypto is not better than usual politics, in some cases it even may be worse. The majority of people is easy to impress, easy to use, easy to betray - but it's everyones own fault.

The Factom-team doesn't do much to intentionally impress people and leading them into buying FCT's to hype the price. And that's just another point that shows quality and not weakness.


Just by the way, a good chart-analysis on one sight:

These people are gonna make blockchain fans proud. The more I read and the more I learn about the project the better I feel about my investment In other projects it is usually the other way around 


But we should really get a more easy explanation out there.. it is really a lot to digest and most people haven't got a time for 40 page pdfs.


However I am not suited for this yet.. I can't explain it easily means I don't know it well enough. Thoughts?

Sell walls on FCT is down by 90K FCT. Bitcoin is down meaning alts are going up. M2 looks closer than I expected. A round should be this year.. I read http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/blog/techflash/2015/12/software-maker-factom-raises-seed-funding-to-back.html

"The company is scheduled to complete a Series A round of financing by mid-2016, Kuala Innovations indicated."

Should be any time now..

I was tricked by this tweet https://twitter.com/_it_services/status/745101103847505920 it is actually another Austin startup that raised $16M I saw after googling of the title  

Factom is a power house. Price holding strong. Watched some interviews with Paul Snow we are very lucky to have someone so intelligent in charge of this coin!

Hey
This is very old news.
That impact already was over on market.

Factom is making real world impact and showing us how it is setting itself up to be used. IMO the US gov award is great news. No matter what the FUD says. Great signals.

Sifting through this, haven't gotten to the part of downloading and trying out things yet. First impressions it looks neat and closer to a release than I presumed.

Dont forget FCT was .10 cents last summer. Price is up still. I am a long term holder. Will never sell until this is used. The news is only getting better and this is a diamond in the rough. It can solve BTC scaling issues and do many other things. People will start to wake up once the dust starts to settle from the BTC halving and DAO hack. Factom will be valuable in the future imo because it will be the token that is awarded to the servers. Also 70k coins per month is nothing once the minting starts...ETH there are upwards of 70k coins generated per DAY!. Also the coin supply is much bigger. FCT is a dark horse. They have a top class team. Some have even had to speak in front of very high levels of government and inform them on blockchain tech. Very knowledgeable group behind this coin. They dont waste time trying to hype / pump their tech. You do your own research and you maybe can see their vision. I know I do and I believe this team will play a huge role in reshaping our world. With things like the clinton hack this is prime time for tech like this. 2016 is going to be a very interesting year with the presidential election coming up and all the crazy things going on in the world. FACTOM can play a huge role in saving our country from a repeat of so many stupid things that can be prevented.

Looks like solid work is being done on the github side of things.....

Agreed. In crypto coins don't get big liquidity unless the market makers can benifit in a large way. I've been trading since April 2013. I've witnessed the behaviour countless times.

I don't beleive for one second that the DAO hack was conincidentally in line with ETH all time high. It was a perfect execution.

FCT is def on the list for market makers shananigans, but such low coin supply makes it harder to insure a big return until they have enough of the coin supply.

Best way to not get burned it to not give them any data. Don't lend (any rate below 1% is shit anyways) don't leave orders on the books. Just hold and sell when your price target is met. No bots just manually execute the order. One click  be precise.

FCT is run by grown ups it's making all the right moves. Hold for gold! lol.

Now live on Factom.com:

https://www.factom.com/dhs-st-awards-199k-to-factom-inc/

The price will reflect the value of the network as time goes on. I still believe we are seeing strength here. FACTOM is just starting. I think its only a matter of time before more people realize this is a great project.
