Topic: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs - page 1880. (Read 2984910 times)

I made an earlier post about Ethereum some week or two ago, you are encouraged to read it.  Ethereum is a copyrighting coin but a larger version of Mastercoin.  They spend a lot of time spamming YouTube and articles which are only read by a few hundred.  Surprisingly they've recently had a video with 6000 views but that was over two months, a day old video of a kitten playing with yarn can get more views.

It's a ponzi scheme ran by wealthy investors and there is even a Goldman Sachs' connection.  Nobody wants to contribute to a get quick rich scheme benefiting a few people hence most stay away from that.  After all how is Vitalik flying around the world, staying in hotels and partying it up at conventions?  There's money coming from somewhere.

  With a $30 million IPO, I am not going to invest $1K or $10K as I would only get 0.00003% to 0.0003% of all Ether.  That translates to risking a huge amount of capital (for an average Joe at least) on a coin that may not go past $40 million.   The people who invested into Mastercoin / Maidsafe would had made more money buying Doge, NxT, Darkcoin, et cetera.

Honestly big IPOs or wealthy investors doesn't mean jack.  Crypto currencies don't have an issue in funding but an issue in educating consumers to use their coin over say Bitcoin or a money transfer like Paypal.  No amount of wealthy investors can change that, to be honest.  In Bitcoin and Doge's case - that was all offline viral P2P advertising (like telling your friends to use Bitcoin) or forum advertising.  I learned about crypto currencies from reading an internet forum and I don't think that person was being paid to promote BTC.

Care to share any tips ? been looking at bitshares

I see. I was under the impression you did it professionally - my mistake. (Probably quite obvious i'm not a follower. In fact, i don't even use twitter).

?? i'm not a journalist or a news site. i'm just a guy that trades coins.

maybe yeah! depends how the thing rolls out and what features they adopt, how the dev team works, etc. send whatever over, yeah.

Well done Kod, well done indeed. how dare stakeholder cryptocobain express his opinions on shit that's got nothing to do with NEM  

Although i completely get (and agree with) your point. Isn't it rather unfair to have any bias when covering anything crypto-related in terms of news?

This is after all, why many people have a growing distrust of journalism(ists) and news sites in general.

It also seems against your interests too - if NXT coin, for example, suddenly became the talk of the crypto world (For whatever reason) you've potentially missed out on a large bunch of traffic  because of your dislike of a currency, and stance to not report on it. Just seems wrong to pick and choose especially when it comes to any sudden increases in currency valuation.

Nonetheless, the vast majority in the NEM camp likely share your perspective regarding NXT's IPO. I know i do; in your shoes though, i'd still make any relevant reports as unbiased as possible.

And btw, Nirvana is awesome.

aye that's me. personally i hated NXT's distribution model, got terrible press due to that and due to it's closed-source launch.

Oh well they seem like a good bunch , just seems way over the top .

It will go shortly to 200k btc market cap and by the end of the year it will take over lite coin..

Folks,

Seems like nem forum registration is still biffed (anyone else having success?)

Whatever,
btsx 56k BTC market cap, how can that be ?
Bter had some was it photo shares hanging around now iou's for bank shares.
a butt load of bank shares that were left in limbo will hit the market when released.
Not coin bashing but i think i'i give this one a miss.  

Never try it. How is it better ? Thanks.

Aahton Kutcher been bullish for years about BTC.   He probably already invested into Ethereum.

Plus how do you know their alpha state?  

Ethereum already been priced out for most of us due to their $30 million IPO.   Throwing a huge dev team and spamming YouTube / media =/= capitalization..  mastercoin knows that.

If I invest $1000 I only get 0.000033% of Ethereum and there's no guarantee I'll get any money from it.  It's very high risk for early investing

Thanks

Yes don't knock it off till it is dead completely. Their Alpha is way ahead of NEM, though it can be quite cryptic and only understood by hard core programmers.

Compare this with the final stakeholder list. There are only 15 cases of socks being added back to the final list.

These are public documents. Why did you guys make a copy ? Someone might still have a copy though.
