It's also worth noting that Steemit has gotten under 1000 in the Alexa rankings and it has been the most active blockchain of all coins.

Confirmation takes a while and registrations are confirmed sporadically. They are working on that though...

Here's what you have to do to speed up the process:

I see you asking info about Steemit.
Is this platform alive? I have registered here one month ago, but I never get a confirmational email or anything from them.
When I try to log in, I am an unknown user. Looks like dead platform

2) News about ATH: https://themerkle.com/ethereum-classic-price-may-reach-a-new-all-time-high-later-today/

I am looking for up to date info for ETC Ethereum Classic

if anyone would care to help?

Thanks for the posts above but I was aware of these points.


Thanks for the detailed info, plenty of detail and something everyone should
[and probably already do] take into consideration when creating points on
whether or not to invest in a particular token or project.

While the info detailed above is not positive for a potential investor it is
important all the same. 1 merit awarded.


Thanks hashcoinusa for taking the time to post but this is general info
on the workings of steem, something I am aware of.

Ill give this a shot. This is my own analysis and not from the thread.

IOTA is dangerous due to low liquidity and will not break out of the current price slump until volume increases. Why?

Last 24 hour volume is ~$40 million USD worth of IOTA trading. On a market cap of $5.2B the liquidity ratio is only 0.007%. Just like stocks, low volume assets are subject to market manipulation when small volume can be manipulated by large holders by working the Bid Ask spread.

As a comparison, all of the top 20 market cap coins have a larger volume in USD terms (or any currency for that matter). This is a given for the larger coins as the market cap comes with larger volumes although Stellar is similar in ratio. In addition the volume in USD of all of the top 20 coins is larger than IOTA. This includes much smaller by market volume coins like Bitcoin Gold with volume at $4.2 million on market cap half of IOTA. The 20th ranked coin VeCoin has a market cap of $2B with volume over $50 million. Over twice the volume ratio or twice as liquid.

Why is volume important?

Volume allows a coin to move. Less volume means large swings in bid ask move the coins value. In other words large investors can manipulate the price much easier. If bad news were to hit sellers will chew through buy orders and drive the price down. The opposite for good news.

What does low volume indicate?

Large institutional ownership which has a vested interest in not selling. Low interest in trading a coin both for buying and selling. In the case of IOTA we really do not know why the low volume. As recent as December volume crossed $2 billion/24 hours during the run up. Volume can help track or help indicate future direction of crypto coins. Typically volume decreases on dips and increases in run-ups. Use the volume of IOTA pick buys/sells.

To put all this in pespepctive Litecoin typically leads all of the top 10 coins in liquidity usually around ~5% per day trading hands. ATM Litecoin is showing nearly $9B market cap with $488 million trading volume. For the top coins 2% is a healthy number. Look for IOTA to move up only when liquidity crosses the 2% ratio of volume 24 hours/marketcap.

I did not post links but all numbers can be verified on coinmarketcap. I track these numbers daily to spot trends. I am not a fan of IOTA because of the low volume. Too risky for me.

Steem


Steem is a cryptocurrency used to power the platform Steemit - an incentivized blockchain social media platform.

Users create and curate content on Steemit just like other social news platforms (e.g. Reddit, Hacker News) and get rewarded in Steem for their work.

Steem, another advanced money made to boost the utilization of Steemit, another examination in web-based social networking, has detonated in the previous couple of days, taking third place after Ethereum, with a present market top of more than $200 million, yet would this be able to really work or is it only a craze?

Hi, I found news about QNTM :
1. Spacechain launch satellite hosting a QTUM  node into space.
2. Progress in the Chinese market, China's government has been surprisingly open to companies working with QTUM.
3.  Qihoo 360 and Baofeng, have established significant partnerships with the QTUM Foundation to experiment with integrating QTUM into their products.
4. Massive increase in Chinese Proof of Stake nodes , now over 1500 ( total nodes 3600) was 1000 in China and 3000 worldwide 3 days ago.

This caused grow in QTUM price in the last days and it’s a good prospective for the future development.

This is something i posted in one of the Cappasity yesterday

According to the Cappasity Blog they have collaborated in some way with the Alibaba team
for implementing the Alibaba cloud platform to reach the China market.
Im not sure how far the partnership goes other than alibaba renting their cloud platform,
but it is positive and an impressive name to be associated with.

Here is the blog link
https://blog.artoken.io/cappasity-platform-launch-in-china-99a2be8dfe73

and the quote from that
"We utilize Google Cloud Platform for users from all over the world, except China where from now on we will be using Alibaba Cloud Platform."
