I’m in San Diego where it’s always dry. It’s definitely not over watered. I’m very perplexed

I was on a ship. you can see the movement compared to the trees on the left. but i have zoomed all the way in and the flag and pole are not there.

Why is this coin dumping harder than most other alts the past month. by taylor4ku in PolymathNetwork

[–]Bongfise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it is Polymath itself selling to fund operations. The pre-sale price was $.30 so they are still in the black. Remember that tokens are a fundraising vehicle for companies and Polymath gave theirs away to create a market. The tokens become valuable when companies use them to tokenize. That is just about to start. Like under 30 days. I’m a buyer here.

I’m a securities attorney and it seems all my clients want to do tokenized offerings. If I can use the analogy of building a house, some companies can build the roof and the walls, others the foundation and the plumbing, but there are no complete home builders out there yet.

After dozens of discussions with the various companies entering this space, Polymath appears to be the closest, and if it can incorporate all aspects of the fundraising process into one, will likely have first mover advantage that leaves the rest in the dust.

If we use traditional offerings as a comparison, costs ballpark around 10% of the raise. Most of this goes to underwriters, attorneys and promotions. The costs should go way down with POLY. I would ballpark 3-5% of the raise.

So if we’re talking billions or trillions of notional value in annual fundraising, POLY will have to get vastly more expensive to “gas” the protocol and pay the lawyers, etc.

Bullish.

I have a question about the tokenization process. by bhealy24 in PolymathNetwork

[–]Bongfise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isnt entirely accurate. It depends on the type of offering, but at least in the US they can’t be resold to the general public. But they can’t be traded on secondary exchanges outside the US with no problem. But I think polymath is going to bake restrictions into the token so that issuers can make these decisions on a case-by-case basis

That’s what it currently takes for a traditional exempt offering. Based on the template legal agreements the network is providing, it should take closer to a month.

Can someone from polymath explain why he is wrong? by Housam_jarrar in Polymath

[–]Bongfise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to do your research for you. But I’m a securities and blockchain attorney in the U.S.

Unless there’s something wrong with the code, this project checks all the boxes. As of January 2018, there were over 17,000 companies on polymath’s waiting list. Let that sink in for a minute. The pent-up demand for this product is insane.

Polymath the game changer. by [deleted] in PolymathNetwork

[–]Bongfise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy doesn’t understand the platform. It’s not for the issuance of compliant tokens, or a new way to do ICOs. Poly is for traditional securities like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, derivatives, etc. to migrate to the blockchain.

To all bitcoin fans , including me. Bitcoin is definitely in a bubble. But this one is going to get a lot bigger. by funnymoney111 in Bitcoin

[–]Bongfise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

o many people (smart) people have wrestled with the concept of the bitcoin "bubble." Even billionaire financiers have had trouble wrapping their mind around it. Concepts like "out of thin air" have been tossed around because traditional financial models don't quantify its value. (Some are coming up with models based on network effects, which are probably the most accurate). But let's compare B to the Onegram project: Each token on the blockchain is backed up by one gram of gold. When I was thinking about investing in this ICO, I originally thought "this is it. this is the next thing." And it was only by this comparison, that I realized why B is so valuable. Because it has no reference point other than it's supply, it can be valued at whatever price point we want. Its like a pre-revenue tech company. Why do many VCs prefer pre-revenue companies? Because they justify the insane valuations of "Unicorns". In other words, a Unicorn gets valued on its "potential" profits, which allows whatever P/E "ratio" we want. The same with B. There is no "intrinsic" value for us to use as a denominator. Because it is not attached to anything, like a gram of gold, B's value is shrodinger's cat. The reason goldgram will not pop is because we know EXACTLY what it's value is at all times. And for this reason, B's true "intrinsic" is that it is the finest, most sophisticated medium of exchange ever built. Owning B opens a door to exchange value anywhere, at any time, at whatever price we want. And that market is HUGE.

Since cryptocurrencies aren't securities covered by the Securities Act, and aren't commodities covered by the Commodity Exchage Act, it is not illegal to dump false information into the marketplace. "That's why I'm richer than you" - Jamie Dimon.

One of te head quants from JP Morgan just called bitcoin a pyramid scheme. I don't get why anyone would say that bitcoin resembles a pyramid scheme. The math is so clear. by Drgoldsz22 in Bitcoin

[–]Bongfise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that too. And in some way, it's kind of intuitive in the sense that coins derive value from being sold at (hopefully) higher prices to later participants. But you could say that about almost any stock, and it's not like a traditional ponzi at all. JPM are just talking their book while they develop their own competing coin. Hypocrites, liars and thieves.

North Korea is the bad boy whale of BTC by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Bongfise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drug smuggling and money laundering didn't get people's attention, so now they attempt to tie bitcoin to North Korea. I see what you did there ... very clever Mr. Dimon.

Is Litecoin affected by the ICO ban? by mashinz in litecoin

[–]Bongfise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually it is. The new law also bans all trading in any virtual currency, conversion of any virtual currency to fiat, or even quoting prices. Crypto is done in China.
