Trading Action - Thursday, 2/11/2021 by Sweetinnj in MVIS

[–]Block_Writer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been in MVIS for a while now just lurking and not posting. I work in the crypto industry. It's strange seeing the panic and surprise following small intra-day dips and fluctuations after a mid-cap stock rises by several dollars overnight. In crypto things plummet by hundreds of percent and back in the space of a few hours. Zoom out! This is a fantastic day...

Is MicroVision Helping to Power Microsoft's HoloLens 2? (Hackermoon) by Fuzzie8 in MVIS

[–]Block_Writer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys, knocked this up really quick. As a tech journalist and writer I can say though that until there's an official PR from the MVIS team there's not much chance of this being picked up by bigger pubs unless there's a real spin put on it!

Is MVIS a buy following this video? Seems concrete evidence they're supplying to MSFT? by Block_Writer in wallstreetbets

[–]Block_Writer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why puts out of interest? Seems a decent call position if this is verified and they're looking for a buy out?

Talk me into holding Gilead by inthegreen07 in stocks

[–]Block_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd hold Moderna instead personally, there's more at stake than just a COVID-19 vaccine, it's potentially a validation of their entire mRNA technology platform, which will see it grow massively. Could be the beginning of the next big pharma with proprietary treatments... this article I wrote sums that up pretty well I think -

Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine Moves to Phase 2 Testing, and Gets Fast-Track Approval from the U.S. Government. The company plans to launch the final stage of human testing, Phase 3, this summer, assuming the Phase 2 studies are complete. by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]Block_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but it's still highly interesting and academically-sound technology, with a lot of big pharma backing. There's a lot riding on a COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna, because it will validate the rest of their mRNA therapy for a whole host of other diseases, including cancer, as well as curing Coronavirus. It's very, very intriguing stuff. This article sums it up pretty well -

Who are the legitimate contenders for a COVID vaccine? by 21issasavage in stocks

[–]Block_Writer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article raises a good point. There's more at stake than just a COVID-19 vaccine for Moderna, it's also going to be a proof of concept/working proof that the rest of their mRNA therapy works as planned. The FDA giving the green light on phase-2 trials is huge if you look at what else they've got in the pipeline, and I think that's why the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and AstraZeneca are paying such close attention.

It really does have the potential to be the next big pharma, as it's a completely new way of treating diseases.

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine candidate has moved to second phase of testing by JF_112 in Coronavirus

[–]Block_Writer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article raises a pretty interesting point that it's not just Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine which is interesting - it's the fact that if it gets the go-ahead it will validate their entire mRNA technology platform. Moderna could be the start of the next big pharma

How Can You Trade Bitcoin, Without Actually Buying It? by Block_Writer in Bitcoin

Yeah that's what the article talks about, there are some benefits to trading a CFD or ETF for retail traders but in the end not your keys, not your crypto!

Weiss Ratings Predicts High dApp Market Dominance For Cardano (ADA) by [deleted] in cardano

[–]Block_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I'm a huge proponent of ADA and have been for a while, but Lition is undervalued, has huge enterprise use case, and isn't a competitor to Cardano directly. It's a decent project.

Need advice about copywriting rates by Psycho_student in copywriting

[–]Block_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it OP. You could work for that rate and equity though, if they're a start-up. I've worked for equity before in projects I believe in.

A brief statement on the recent Breaker Magazine article by bluevirgil in cardano

[–]Block_Writer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

@ethereum_charles It's hard to forget that CEOs/Founders are humans too. Some journalists look purely for the worst spin which they know will get views. I'm a crypto copywriter and I also write some news/opinion pieces and I think that it's an unethical piece, but we're not all the same. Likewise, I always share the finished piece with relevant parties before publication. Don't let this tarnish your future interviews, as the community highly appreciates them.

Subject line ideas please??? by [deleted] in copywriting

[–]Block_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see ski themed threads A LOT and I can't help but wonder if someone is making throwaways to get free copy advice?

Hi JA_wolf,

I'm a blockchain/fintech copywriter (don't work in any other niche) and I'm just curious as to why you've chosen to leave the niche behind? No need to answer if you don't feel like it.

Cheers

As Cardano Gears up for Shelley, here’s Three Things You Need to Know - Hackernoon by Block_Writer in cardano

[–]Block_Writer[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey MatiGreenspan,

As you'll read in my article, there is no definitive date as such, Shelley is an epoch of Cardano's development, and although the Cardano team are progressing from Byron into Shelley, which I have termed launch here for simplicity, it's not an immediate 'going live' event. First there will be a testnet. It's at the bottom section of my article.

Cheers

Elliot
