Topic: LISK price speculation - page 55. (Read 113784 times)

I usually try and grab back most of my initial investment at the first pump and then ride it out in the black.  Although, I have been following along in the lisk chat and have to admit that I am so impressed with the motivation and transparency demonstrated by the team, that dumping anything at first pump is going to be hard for me on this one.

200k sat floor @ 1week

500k sat peaks @ 1 month



 

This is pretty good market share , why do you think this will happen?
because ico sell out was successful, and large amount of BTCs are collected..
This means nothing especially if you know this can increase start up price.

Possible, but I think unlikely. The move towards 100 million has been really pretty rare for any tokens. Lisk has the advantage of having a decent amount of funds to further develop - though I'm not sold on the technology at this stage (I was in the XCR ICO as well by the way). This project could do some interesting things if the money is well spent. But MOON talks are not making so much sense for a mostly XCR clone.

Comparisons to Ethereum are insane at this stage, the number of people working 24/7 on Ethereum and the type of talent around that project are just not comparable to what we have now in other projects. Still, 100 million is possible here, with enough frenzy and FOMO we can get around that number I think.

I would not dump all my LISK, better hedge against the possibility that this project does solve the hard problems in front of it and finds a way to get around many technical issues that have been raised.

XCR couldn't even get 1/3 of its delegates running in a decentralized manner. I'm hoping the reward system here will make it so that LISK can actually have decentralized DPoS from the start (or soon after launch). I also have major questions about trying to make developers follow certain "rules" as to not break consensus. Etc.

The idea that this project is "ahead" of Ethereum is, at best, pure delusion. Lisk has a long way to go to catch up to even the smaller Ethereum teams. We don't even have developers in this project yet!

Hello rtrtcrypto.  Do you believe LISK will reach a 100 million US dollars market cap in 2017?

Then please take my bet. *above your last response.

The main reason why Ethereum didn't start that high was because of how much work Ethereum had to accomplish.
The mist wallet for Ethereum is only about 2 months old.
LISK has 2 years of development completed thanks to crypti.  
LISK is a new cryptocurrency with tons of experience that has been genetically implanted memories.
LISK is technically ahead of ETH already once it hits the exchanges.
Once developers inside and out of the cryptocurrency world realize LISK is based on Javascript unlike ETH and it's Solidity then the market will react.
Based on the fact that Ethereum has less than 36 Dapps that are currently available.  All LISK needs is to surpass ETH by having a better Dapps store.
Ethereum is an amazing feat.  LISK is just more efficient when it pertains to USER INTERFACE & LEARNING CURVE for Dapp development.  I believe there are already 4 or more dapps that are in their beta stages and LISK isn't even on any exchanges as of yet.

Don't take my word for it just pay attention to the Javascript developer's actions.  I truly believe Developers will choose LISK over Ethereum in the approaching future.

I'm still willing to bet BTC with escrow that Lisk does not reach 100 million market cap inside of 2016 (needing to hold that for more than 24 hrs - to guard against fat finger / glitch on coin marketcap).

Would you like to take this bet?

It just might happen.

That would mean a mc of 100m, way too high for initial value imo. Even Eth didn't start that high.

$1 at launch?
 Idk about that...

Yes, and that paradox can be used to dominate all votes having only 34% of all LISKs.

I hope so too so I can buy even more than during ICO.  But I think we all know that won't last 5 minutes at launch. Most people including myself are strongly predicting 1 Lisk= $1 USD at launch. 

I hope its like the ICO price so i can buy more

Nah. I just mean that you can scare weak hands through a dump, buy up more stake, vote in yourself a bunch of delegates and harvest a significant amount of the supply being forged.

Because if one person controls enough of the supply they get a greater guarantee of nudging price trends where they want. It's sort of like how you only really need about 43% of NXT to attack the system cause less than half are currently forging. (At least that's what I last read, these numbers could be wrong.)

Does that make sense to you?

I believe Lisk a good chance to hit the exchange at about $1

I talked to a guy in the YouTube comments a few days ago and he said he put in about 42 BTC. That's one hell of a risk but he said he's going to hold most of them.

I have no doubt that Lisk will do great during and after launch.  It will definitely give ethereum a run for its money. 

The exchanges don't set the initial buying and selling prices - the customers do. Technically, at the nitty-gritty level, the high bid sets the sell (dump?) price and the low ask sets the buy (pump?) price. Exchanges are supposed to be agnostic about the prices; ones that aren't, are profoundly unethical.

So to answer your question: the opening price depends entirely upon the orderbook at opening time, and the orderbook depends solely on what bids and offers the exchange's customers enter. So, in the abstract, the opening price could be anywhere; it all depends on the exchange's customers and their own orders.

Have you got a hack to make a sale less trust-based? I've issued a lot of assets on the Horizon system, including one for IOTA because a Horizoneer asked me to. I could swing the same thing - an HZ gateway for Lisk, if there were some way to validate that my accounts have the Lisk that I say have them (to establish full backing). But even then, it would be iffy. In the case of IOTA, I backed my HZIOTA with a Nxt Asset called CIOTA - and most of my buyers did ask for redemption into the underlying CIOTA IOUs. (I followed through on all those redemption requests.)

I could give it a try with an Asset called "HZLisk", but the trust structure would be rickety - and everyone would need Horizon to buy some. Rickety, I know, but I can try if you want me to.

If you ask, I'd appreciate some tips on how to make it as verifiable as possible.

Maybe Microsoft can set them up since they are a partner via Azure...
