Agreed. Did anyone see that MOAC partnered with chinamobile (basically the verizon of china)?? https://www.coindesk.com/telecom-giant-china-mobile-is-developing-a-blockchain-water-purifier?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0

Wait does the SEC shut down is the government shuts down???

I think stablecoins are pretty hot right now. Good to keep an eye on projects like MOAC since they provide infrastructure. Saw that they announced a huge partnership with chinamobile (basically the verizon of china) on coindesk. https://www.coindesk.com/telecom-giant-china-mobile-is-developing-a-blockchain-water-purifier?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing. Although this is very fascinating. It always seems like chinese projects are making such huge strides for blockchain and iot. this is what the article says:

"Depending on how long and how frequently consumers use the product, they will earn a blockchain token called PWMC, which they can then redeem for replacement filters, or to purchase other goods.

This rewards system will provide an incentive for usage that’s lacking in other IoT products, Xiao said, while at the same time make blockchain relatable for the average person who doesn’t spend all day trading cryptocurrency."

So I guess it's based on how often you use the filter and then you can redeem your tokens earned for new filters....very interesting

I honestly think we need to re-classify stablecoins. there's so many of them and they're all different from each other.

great read, but kind of odd that MOAC was mentioned towards the bottom. I guess they want to be as newsworthy as possible 

I think what we need to do is differentiate between fiat coins and stablecoins. Even then that leaves such a broad term imo. Where does ampleforth fall into this equation?

I thought this was a great post about how we should approach the current bear market and beyond:

For me, patience is a big thing. It's easy to forget that crypto is still so young and I've still doubled if not tripled my investment

So much has changed since you posted this. It is fun to read old threads where members thought that 3000 or 5000 per coin is a lot.

Some are genuinely concerned about the risk while others are seeing their own interests.

I am waiting for the market to recover. Will cash out some of the coins and leave the rest untouched for 4-5 years.

Both have got their own limitations. Biggest problem with stocks is that there are so many of them that it makes selecting very difficult.

The growth of bitcoins from few cents per coin to $20000 per coins itself speak of its value.

Other coins can give better returns but:

1) You also get a lot of safety with bitcoins as it is very much stable.

2) Most of coins just follow the price movement of bitcoins.

There are risks involved but you can reduce the risks by taking some precautions. For instance, you should invest only in top 10-20 coins based on coin market cap which are less volatile .

India can have big impact. Currently, the number of people involved from there is less as government has still not made its stand clear on crypto there.

It has not been implemented yet by Facebook. But they can do so as they are planning their own coin this year.

Actually, you should invest in this coin. It is third based on market cap and huge potential for growth. I am investing a lot in it.

I am going to invest a lot of money in steem. I think steemit will grow a lot in future thus making this currency very valuable.

He has spoken in favor also sometimes. I do not think that he has done much research about this as he already has a lot of work to handle.
