On freiexchange.com you can also buy BTX coins, but they are not really cheap there. Use the exchange also from time to time for many years and never had problems there.
I've heard of them but never tried them. I'll have to look into it, although I'm not dead-set on buying any BTX, as the coin is practically dead. Except that it's not completely dead, because their website looks like it's being updated and the price could be much worse.
I’ve never heard of anything like that. That sounds a little strange to me, too. Still, it’s interesting.
I wonder what effect it has on Neblio. I’ll have to read into the subject.
Whether it would be good for BTX is hard to say. Maybe BTX should partner with large companies that then use the blockchain for their projects. But finding such partners is certainly not easy. Either way I hope BTX will find more recognition in the future. The team has really put a lot of effort into moving the project forward, even if it has become a bit quiet.
If you look at the recent price action of Neblio, you might find an answer--although I'm not sure if it's just being manipulated or not. There aren't that many coins in circulation (relatively speaking), so it wouldn't be difficult for someone with money to pump it up.
But aside from that, noooo, I don't think it'd be a good idea for any coin to have partners, get bought out, whatever. The less centralized, the better. When I heard that apparently someone was buying out Neblio, the first thing I thought of was CBDCs or Ripple. I have no interest in any crypto which has someone or some group running it.
Interesting. I never really got interested in...whatever you call the thing that encompasses swapping and Pancakes and such. DeFi, is it? I may have to look into that as well.
