I saw the project on Twitter four weeks ago. Back then, I emailed Tokrex with some questions about CDG technology. I got an answer to my questions about cryptography and technology directly from Tom. His answer was very profound. For the fast response time and the opportunity to speak directly with the developers, you get 5 stars.

I am also interested in the opinion of Tom about side-chains. But I can already imagine that CDGs are faster because they do not need on-chain transactions. I studied the technical white paper and have more questions:

Tokrex currently describes a DEX solution based on CDG technology. Are there any plans to develop a platform from this as well? I mean, for example, smart contracts in connection with the Tokrex DKG. That would be Web 4.0 in my opinion. What do you think?

By the way, a nice infographic about CDGs. The illustration helps that many people can understand it. The Tokrex CDGs are indeed a revolution in blockchain technology. Transferring e.g. a bitcoin in less than a second will amaze the community. I am really excited about projects like Tokrex improving the core technology of blockchains!! Looking forward to your answer.

Interesting. When it comes to bankers, many people think they are angels. A suit and tie is everything you need to impress people. Let's quote yesterday's news paper "Deutsche Bank hit by second day of money laundering raids". No, no! Bankers never do something illegal. That's ironic

I think we should not be blinded by the pious image of the banks. Look what happened one week ago on the forex market...

"BlackRock and Allianz sue 16 Banks in the U.S. over Currency Market Rigging"

https://btcmanager.com/blackrock-and-allianz-sue-16-banks-in-the-u-s-over-currency-market-rigging/

If they do it in the forex market, they will not be shy doing it in the Cryptos market.

I have read a lot about OTC now. It is indeed that it bypasses the order book. Neither the sell order nor the buy order appears in the order book. I press on MKT SELL and the order is not made visible to the order book. The exchange pays me directly, so to speak. The collected bitcoin are then sold to the broker. So the broker can place buy orders in a certain range.

That seems to be common practice at Wall Street. Order packages are moved back and forth between liquidity providers. Specifically, they do that for assets that are titled "hard-to-deliver". Assets for which there is little liquidity. There is much more. They lend the same securities several times and so on .. very very interesting inside information is that ..


I guess they were not buying from 10,000 to 6,000.. they can buy in a specific range with OTC e.g. just below 6,500


I agree. I was just too naive to think that would not affect the Bitcoin.

Estimate from the TABB Group (in a $5000 report) that OTC crypto markets exceed exchange volumes by 2-3x. That would mean 1-1.5MM BTC is traded OTC *daily*.  That's surely enough to organize a drop like we saw... can u imagine... this f***ers trade 1-1.5MM and bypassing the open market. Normally we should see BTC at 15k with that numbers... It's unbelievable. I had the same feeling... it's indeed a good read.

Hello everybody!

In the end, it was the bankers who pulled us over the barrel.

Look at that..

Some suspicious facts about Humancoin
=========================

1) It holds back 330,000 USD. Why?

Humancoin will refund 95% of its raised funds... let's calculate 6.600.000 mln * 5% equals 330,000 USD.. Interesting.. Humancoin only refunds contributors with a sum of investment (eth 20+) that could be legally enforced (at least theoretically). Surely nobody will sue the Humancoin CEO (Giles Gailer) for 200 usd. This is supposedly clever. But Giles Gailer, you are hopefully aware that this is criminal.

2) Giles Gailer changed his Telegram Account yesterday

During the ICO he contributed frequently in Humancoins Telegram Channel. Since yesterday his personal telegram account showed his picture (as shown on Humancoin webpage) and his (hopefully) real name "Giles Gailer". Now he changed it to "Giles G" and put a picture of Elvis Presley. Strange. This I would not expect from someone who claims to work with VCs (transparency is here no 1). Or is he now Elvis Presley? Has similarities with Craig Wright (the Satoshi cheater, also known as #Asstoshi the original creator of Buttcoin).

3) During the ICO i asked several questions in the Telegram Channel of Humancoin. Then a nice video of Giles Gailer appeared. Recorded on the beach side. I just wondered why a CEO sits on the beach during a working day... strange!. Now I understand.

Giles Gailer has cheated the Crypto community. He only refunds the investments that could legally be dangerous for him. Quite secretly, he bags 330,000 USD for himself. Yes, this project was indeed a SCAM. It's unbelievable these people disguise themselves as benevolent and ultimately expose themselves as cheaters. The worst part is that he stole the money from the little people (the average Joe). He certainly does not have the balls to take it from the big investors. I'm sure.

Humancoin was a scam created by an old man from the beginning. 

Interesting poll.

Lately, I read an article from panteracapital.com. They also look into ICOs. One guy, dont remember his name said, the main factor they look into is if an ICO team is able to build a large community. Cause Crypto is currently less about demand&supply, it's more a community thing.

I think Kadentran is missing a strategy. Kadentran, think like a Venture Capitalist.

Here is a simple model:

In 6 cases, a VC leaves his investment without profit or low losses. In 3 cases a VC makes more or less profit. In one case, a VC makes a significant return.

It is only one "super star" necessary to achieve a good portfolio performance. The question remains, who is the next Super Star? Although you can do a deep analysis, surely nobody knows.

For this reason, a VC uses a kind of low-risk filter system, as briefly shown above.

Cause Trading, trying to catch swings, is much more profitable. There are two kinds of traders: Flow-Trader, they go with the market flow and reversal-traders, they try to catch "counterreactions" of the market. Usually, reversals are not more than 2 to 8 percent, but better predictable for an experienced trader. Flow-Traders can make more return, in case they are sitting on the right side.

An investor is simply spoken a flow-trader but tries to catch a swing on a higher timeframe (colloquial long-term).

In a nutshell, an experienced trader can make realistically and consequently up to 30% a year. An investor more, but only in the case he has time and is sitting on the right portfolio.

Don't put too much hope into Litecoin. There is no support of the founder anymore (even sold all its ltc). Ltc ist just a hard fork of bitcoin and has less to bring to the table. Go ETH. As long as the ICO boom keeps a there is a natural demand.

Personally, I think DEX ICOs are very promising for this year. Now we see a lot of "tokenize" and "applicationized" projects. But we have to admit that there is still a lot of core technology missing. Etherium nice, but single-threaded. Cardano, a big hope. Paralyzed blockchains (PoP or PoS) anyway missing. Scalability not yet solved. A common standard for DApps not yet defined. Okay, u can say Etherium is, but Ether is mostly a platform to issue ERC20 tokens nowadays. Compared with InternetOfInformation we are with Crypto at the Netscape Level. HTML5 far way, but surely it will not take as long as it took for InternetOfIOnformation.

My vote is DEX for 2018.

It is. The press reported mid of march that already 1000 mainnet nodes are ready for the lightning network. Forgive me my critics, but i think a lot users except too much from the lighting network. Since it transforms the scalability problem into a liquidity problem, it has a really limited use case. But yes, it gets support.

I join Crypto, cause this technology is my hope for a free and liberal society. Who controls money, controls the society. If none controls money, no one controls us. I think a good reason to keep up with it

In the nineties people needed to learn e-mail. In the 2000 they learned internet. In the next years they learn digital currencies. When the first government release their own coin, people will learn fast.

i agree. hitbtc is problematic. many bad experiences like with other exchanges.

a blockchain is a database.. more specific a hash chain based database... a technology. u can also ask if mysql will die when some mysql based apps will die.. surely no. but there will be much development e.g. scaling, parallelization of mining etc.. so yes it will change but not die.

Nice words. Bitcoin will die before Blockchains will.
