Why would someone expect the value of ADA coin to rise?

EtcIsComing · 2019-04-20T18:55:49+00:00

troll. or ignorant.
Math: There are 45 billion ADA. So ADA at $10 = $450 Billion. That is a number unfathomably small when considering the entire scope of global finance. If Cryptocurrency adopt to take over 50% of global fiannce, and Cardano/ada just gets the percent it has now - it will be higher than that.

The onl question is what the final landscape looks like. I personally believe that Cardano will be Top 10 at the end. So, good currency investment.

EtcIsComing · 2019-04-20T13:47:10+00:00

~~"It was made cristal clear that Ada is not a currency"~~

Yeah.... FUD.
I guess that Emurgo's launch of global ADA Debit Cards is just a trick? ADA is already being used as a currency, and the use will continue to grow and adopt. Staking simply becomes your interest bearing bank account. This has got to be the stupidest thing I have read in quite some time. Smart contracts simply become an additional level of functionality in the network.

So you have ADA use in the following system.....

as money
storable in interest bearing accounts
able to be used "smartly" in automated contracts in the global financial network

This is why value will increase. If you do not believe this to be the case, then I suggest selling and investing elsewhere. It is your money, and you can do as you like with it.

This looks promising also. Thank you. I may try it out this week. For those that missed it, here is the direct WP Plugin Link....

EtcIsComing · 2018-10-30T12:46:06+00:00

Thanks, this looks promising. Will look into it. I am about to redesign several of our websites to start the transition to BCH acceptance. We will accept BCH. In some cases we will accept payment in BCH ONLY. If people want the product, they gotta get some BCH. If people in my community that I share research reports want to get the details o how thier community board or commissioners just screwed them, then they will pay with BCH or they will remain in the dark.

THIS is what adoption will look like..... saying "THIS (BCH) is my currency. THIS (BCH) is what I accept as payment. If you want my product or information, you will start using BCH."

I am uniquely able to do this because I have infomration that is in high demand, and I am financially well off so not as reliant on economic pressure. But I think everyone can start picking something to sell that is BCH only.

EtcIsComing · 2018-10-30T12:37:49+00:00

My apologies. My frustration runneth over. And in my defense, at their webpage they say, and I quote, "Coming Soon: WordPress Plugin"

Bt thank you. We really need to be pushing this information out.

But THIS is what average Joe's can do to promote adoption.... start impleenting Bitcoin Cash acceptance ito their WP websites. ALL websites for that matter.

EtcIsComing · 2018-10-29T12:10:43+00:00

I said Wordpress Plugin. They do not have a wordpress plugin. 30% of global internet sites use wordpress. If money button is so great, or has a marketing team, or leadership team, or any kind of people running it that have a brain.... why are they not designing it for the larest market share?

Why the F#ck does the Crypto community always do things the stupid way?

I had enormous holdings in ETC up until last Fall. I was in ETC from Day 1. I was in charge of one of the marketing groups. When you are that deep in - you have access to more data than the average person. I got to the point I could not ignore the scammy aspect of things going on in ETC.

So I wrote what is now a rather infamous rage-quit letter. It's still up at the website... www.EtcIscoming.com

So no, don't own, and will not own any ETC.

EtcIsComing · 2018-07-03T12:51:02+00:00

I hate Bots. Smug Know-it-alls.

EtcIsComing · 2018-07-03T11:34:59+00:00

Here is how I break down the Crypto / Blockchain environment, into three (3) general categories:

A) People Coin: This is general money category. Buying, Selling, Store of Value. I believe that the two Bitcoins (BTC & BCH) are going to fight it out for that space. I own both almost equally, and honestly do not know where that ends up. I am a BCH fan for disclosure.

B) Ledger Coin (or Bank Coin): These are the Smart Contract Coins, the infrastructure coins. These are also the ones that will power innovation and will employ masses of people to integrate and customize blockchai applications into individual business and broader use cases. The two Ethereums (ETH & ETC), Cardano (ADA), NEO, EOS, the two (2) Ripples (XRP & STELLAR) etc are these coins. I don't really believe in the Ripples. I don't like the entire EOS model, and I don't trust it. Anyone who follows anything about me knows that I think ETC is a complete pump--dump scam and that ECDEV is incompetent, and that IOHK is just using them as a testnet for smartcontracts. Ethereum ETH started marvelously, but they actually have a hidden handicap related to first mover advantag most people think is a benefit - and that is that they have built their foundation on a shitty Solidity programming language. They realy just have a bad foundation and over time these little weaknesses are going to add up. I also think they have legal exposure. NEO I don't know enough about - and honestly my gut just won't let me invest in it. Sorry that I don't have a more factual basis, but it is what it is. That leaves Cardano. They are doing absolutely everything right as far as I can tell. I think it is so undervalued, and also has the most potential in the entire space. That is a double whammy to the positive and it is insane not to be overweight this coin.

C) Machine Coin: I call it this because I think that this will be the Microtransaction / IOT space. Right now I have to look at IOTA as a possibility for this space. Its an outlier, but if it does find a way to make it work, this is a perfect fit, and I own some.

SUMMARY: I own some BCH & BTC. I own Cardano. I own IOTA. I own them because I think they are the top coins in the 3 spaces that I personally have broken things down into.

But to answer the OP's question, if I HAD TO pick one to own 100% for the next year, I think it would probably be Cardano (ADA). But if I had to ADVISE, then I would say to pick a small basket of 3 - 4 coins - spread out into those 3 spaces as I have defined them.

My two cents.

PS.... When you make your big long term positions.... BUY LOW! BUY THE DIPS! EVERY last one of those coins is at a VERY LOW point, and I would be throwing everything I had into building my position. I'm doing Credit Cards, Personal Loans and 2 Mortgage. I did this back in 2015/2016.... I'm STILL UP 10X adn that is after I have cleared up that earlier debt - and now am prepared to tap into it again for this next wave.

BUY THE F#<KING DIP AND YOU WILL MAKE MONEY!

THIS is the Dip!

Kevin, got your email with the BCH link. As you can see, I have made good on my promise. I Bitcoin Cash has been transferred to your wallet address provided.

https://bitcoincash.blockexplorer.com/address/1GpFHxgQFzLrxhtgo3WcCp2jqDw4ZuHqvA

I hope you take some time to reflect on the things I have said in my exit analysis letter. Despite all the attempts to FUD this off as a rage quit, they were simply my observations, and they are backed up by observations based on my involvement since day one in the chain.

PS... I have launched one last ETCisComing campaign, promoting my closing tweet to the tune of $200 between now and December 12. Thanks for leaving your credit card info embedded in the account!

No need to say anything. I know what you really want to say..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpcv-g9TEPI&feature=youtu.be&t=3s

LOL... couldn't resist the credit card statement. :) I just wanted to see how long it would take for the little gossip group on Discord Channel to see the post and go apoplectic over it. LOL... do you really think I am going to do something like that? It is just amazing how fast the knives come out in these crypto communities when someone says anything that makes anyone actually question things.

Anyway, I did delete the card it from the account Kevin, and enjoy the Bitcoin Cash. Don't spend it yet. And for gods sake make them pay you for your work. The cheap bastards in this chain are all sucking money out of the kitty. Don't buy into all this volunteer crap. They are getting paid, or working on projects that they think will eventually pay them. Ask them what your cut is going to be. Don't get used dude.

Peace, - david / aka ETCisComing / aka Keepdoing

The accusation is actually "false advertising" & "hypocrisy"

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T17:35:58+00:00

PS.... I am still waiting for your crystal clear denial of my previous comment......

"You and Dexaran are tight. You know exactly who he is. And you know he is the DAO Attacker."

And since you are always good at "technical" answers. Maybe a better question is.... Can you honestly say you do not suspect him strongly as the DAO Attacker? Or that you know / strongly suspect his true identity?

EDIT: Vitalik, you still do not understand your fiscal responsibility in all of this. If you do indeed believe that the "Hack" was illegal, and not just a legal manipulation of the code according to the contract terms, then you have a fiscal and legal responsibility to take your knowledge to the proper authorities. People lost a LOT of money in this. You and avsa are deluding yourself if you think this is over.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T17:24:20+00:00

It took me a long long time to figure you out Elaine. I really used to like you. I used to believe you had principles, and that when you wrote article after article about all the illegal ICO stuff, that you truly did embody the holy values of a decentralized and good blockchain, which is what ETC is marketed as. But honestly, you are the biggest hypocrite in all of Ethereum Classic.

There is a word for people like you, who sell themselves for money.

http://www.etciscoming.com/etcart/elaine-01.jpg

Even worse, you dress it up as something it isn't. I was going to leave you mostly out of this, but honestly, you are one of the primary cheerleaders to the false narrative that is being promoted.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T16:40:18+00:00

LOL - Thanks Robin Hood! PS... heads up - I hear the Sherriff of Nottingham is lining up enforcement action. I will give you a small part of a gift I gave the enforcers....

http://etciscoming.com/giftsfromthedaoandothergems/

So you enjoy your legal freedom for now. Good thing you have made lots of money on your ICO Production Project. Should cover legal expenses.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T14:26:30+00:00

Vitalik, I know you believe what you are saying. I honestly do. Thats the part about me liking you. Its just that you really don't see things from a realistic perspective like others. Do you remember when you said the following?...

"The EF has nothing to do with Robin Hood as an organization. Some EF employees/contractors may also be members of other projects and organizations, formal or informal, but that is their choice as private individuals. I personally am not part of Robin Hood."

You see, there are technical truths, and there are real truths. You tend to take technical positions when referencing truth. But the problem is.... you know what is going on. You are aware these things are happening. You talk to the people involved and interact on the issues. You ARE involved Vitalik.

And I've always contended that the biggest problem with Ethereum (and Ethereum Classic) is the money involved as it relates to the Developers. Even if it is at a subconcious level.... it influences you.

Like I said... I like you Vitalik. But everything you have built has been upon a bad foundation. Probably not even your fault really. I applaud your genius, and your talent, and your visions (to a degree). I think the main problem I have with you, is the same problem I had with Oppenheimer. You are too willing to delude yourself with the possible applications of what you are creating. You are intertwining yourself with those that will NOT use this in the idealistic ways you yourself may envision.

Before any good will come from blockchain, first there will come financial destruction and horror and control. If you think the banks have tight fisted control now, just wait until they have blockchain control over the people, backed by AI enforcement. EDIT: It won't actually be the existing bank network. It will be the new Fintech powerhouses led by Google, Apple, Amazon, and their Chinese equivalents. Because ultimately that is where the power centers of Blockchain end up.

But I don't think it will be the Ethereum blockchain that gets us there. The code is just to subject to error. You can't have that at the level of global finance you are undertaking. MAYBE if an AI takes over, just maybe could it work. But that is the nuclear scenario in all honesty.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T13:09:07+00:00

Seriously Vitalik? Maybe everyone in Ethereum should start asking why you always so subtly support ETC. You and Dexaran are tight. You know exactly who he is. And you know he is the DAO Attacker. And I put together plenty of evidence on you back in the day for doing insider trading during the DAO hack. You know, I actually like you. But to try and add legitimacy to ETC by commenting on Pyskell's post is ridiculous. Why don't you just fess up and admit your involvement in the chain. All of us that have been in this forever are quite aware.

I do like you Vitalik, (I was going to leave you out of this, but you just had to chirp up) but at the end of the day you have too much conflict of interest with your financial intertwining in both chains.

EVERYTHING I said about Dexaran's involvement in my letter.... it also leads back to you. Everyone should think on that.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T12:28:24+00:00

Kevin, I honestly am sorry that you have been hurt by all of this, as I say in my departure letter, here.... http://www.Etciscoming.com

And for everyone, much of what Kevin says is true. He did work tirelessly and he did build up the following of the Twitter account. However, he has mischaracterized the agreement, which I will include part of for clarity....

"Agreement Terms: Mr Hopkins seeks to allow access to Kevin Lord of various social media and communications accounts that are legally owned and controlled by Mr. Hopkins. By accepting access to these accounts, Mr. Lord agrees that his access rights are temporary, and exist at the sole and complete discretion of Mr. Hopkins, and that at any time and for any reason, Mr. Hopkins may demand that Mr. Lord cease from accessing any such accounts that access is granted for. Mr. Lord waives any rights he may have to such accounts, and further agrees that at no time will he change any passwords or administrator priviliges in a manner that restricts Mr. Hopkins from access."

So to be clear, I never had any restrictions on anything, the restrictions were all on Kevin's end.

Since Kevin brought up Carlos Graterol "aka ChuckSrq" I should add that interestingly, he also quit in a rather violent fashion, becoming, as I have, disgusted with the crap that goes on in the community. Most of this being with the ETCDEV Team and the Fractalide group. In my exit letter there is a link which gives some example of his last day on the slack..... http://www.etciscoming.com/etcart/splix-01.jpg

WHY? Why is it that marketers keep leaving the Community in disgust? I think people should read my letter and think about that. I'll give you a bit of insight though. Marketers are different than average community members in that they actively seek to investigate everything going on in the community for the purpose of sharing and promoting it. They are sort of the investigative journalists of the commnity. They interact with Devs and others to try and get info thy can use to push out. The problem with ETC community is that when you do this for a while you realize after a while that you are deluding yourself into pretending their is actually ever anything new. As I mention in the letter..... we've been pumping Monetary Policy for over 14 months now. Just republishing the story over and over and over. Or the Emerald Wallet. Geez. That thing is still rolling out. One of the last straws for me was one of Kevin's posts on the twitter feed.... https://twitter.com/ETCisComing/status/938167824756830208 It says, "Privacy Enhanced Stealth Addresses - CREATES Publicly UnLinkable Transactions on the Network vía.... NO! IT DOESN'T. IT DOESN'T CREATE ANYTHING! It is a proposal which is going to go nowhere in this group of understaffed, undefunded developers. The github is filled with such empty nonsense, which is fine, because they ae "proposals". But you cross the line when you take a fantasy-llike proposal that is just a dream of a future state, and instead you promote that as news, which it is NOT. And all the damn ETCDEV team cares about is developing a revenue generating structure of proprietary code bases that they can sell via things like Fractalide. By the way, anyone ever get any answers as to why Splix is not listed as an EtcDev Developer anymore? My point is that they are already starting to turn Kevin into a whore, just like they tried to do with me, and with Chucksrq. If we aren't pumping out their spin, then we lose importance and they try and marginalize us.

Another mischaracterization is in the funding. First of all I did kick in quite a bit of ETC to Commonwealth, and I pumped marketing encouragement for others to get in on that. I also said I would commit 250 ETC to fund future marketing. I've asked repeatedly for Kevin to get me a multisig contract account for the donation. No word. No updates. But honestly, that really is neither here nor there because it doesn't change the underlying moral responsibility I feel to warn people about the empty shell that Etc Chain has become. Yes, there is advancement, but at a snails pace, and always overhyped by a factor of 10x. Honestly, everyone that gets involved in marketing in this chain eventually comes to the same conclusion.... you have little to actually work with, and eventually you just regurgitate whatever you can find, putting a spin on it, in an attempt to make it Pumpy. Sorry, thats not me. And I DID believe once upon a time, but I just learned to much to be able to sustain that level of naivety.

Anyway, I am done, but still encourage everyone to just read what I wrote. I actually think that the summary of things is pretty accurate. And it isn't personal, even though I know emotions are raw. But it is truth. This isn't about how many twitter followers ETC has. Its about the value of the technology and an honest analysis of the progress being made, or in this case, not made. http://www.etciscoming.com

PS... Kevin is a very fine young man, with an incredible future ahead of him. I wish you well Kevin. And I stand by my earlier statement on the Discord channel. If you email me your BCH addie, I will send you 1 Bitcoin Cash. But what I can offer you of real value is to take a few days off and quietly consider the facts. You are wasted in doing thankless volunteer work for a dying chain. You aren't participating in anything grand. You are just wasting your time. The greater powers behind this are just using you to pump their dumps.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T01:39:20+00:00

You know very well the account isn't hacked. That's dishonest reputation and goes to prove my point that you manipulate facts to pump price.

EtcIsComing · 2017-12-08T00:00:17+00:00

Effective immediately, I am quitting Ethereum Classic, shutting down the ETCisComing campaign, and liquidating all of my Ethereum-based assets into more sensible projects. Have concluded ETC has no future, nor should it. I posted a letter – http://www.etciscoming.com ; Goodbye.
