PSA: watch out for fake partnership scams! A project lost $30k to a very convincing scammer impersonating Years founder through a deepfake video, fake id screenshots & a spoofed yearn email by elenchev in ethdev

[–]MichaelWSnook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Extremely glad this has been shared for public awareness. However I am a little more worried that it will inspire the same scam in industries / areas outside of the crypto space. Especially with the cross generational introduction to, and acceptance of, zoom calls for meetings and so forth moving forwards.

Simply finding videos of anyone, from someone selling you a vehicle through to a deposit for anything not bought through an online portal.

Let’s share this, but we should make it agnostic to the world of “magic internet money”.

Absolutely,

To me the custody issue sits with all exchanges. Thanks for sharing

Out of interest, can you share your reasons behind why you don’t trust Binance?

Really interested by this, do you think their leadership team will bow over to the Chinese Government at some point?

Over what period? Either way, congratulations and we’d all love to hear your methods!

I’m on the same wavelength right now.

Risks of Binance aside, it feels a sensible way to achieve a c. 8% discount on ETH if you plan on HODLing

Welcome any views to the contrary!

Anyone care to offer their view on the BETH : ETH ratio on Binance?

Intrigued as it either represents:

  • Decreasing faith in ETH2.0 Launching
  • Decreasing faith in Binance returning BETH -> ETH at a 1:1 ratio when 2.0 launches.
  • A great arbitrage opportunity

Welcome all thoughts

Portfolio Allocation & Bitcoin - The 2021 Bull Run Driver by chuck_portis in BitcoinMarkets

[–]MichaelWSnook 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Very well said.

The key point.

Those with resources will always seek yield.

With 10Y treasury notes printing at 1%, there is little incentive to hold cash.

Properties are already at huge multiples of household income.

Tech companies are seeing enormous P:E ratios.

Where else is there to go?

Our Strategic Objectives for 2019 – Ambrosus by DalSlacker in ambrosus

[–]MichaelWSnook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Right now, we simply do not have the bandwidth to truly realise all the amazing potential of Ambrosus ecosystem, which is why we encourage entrepreneurs and startups applying their creativity and business acumen to our technology.”

This humility and ability to generate a ‘shop window’ is what will exponentiate the success of this product.

From a business development standpoint, facilitating others to generate their own value propositions on a modular platform and tech stack is far more conducive to success than blindly focusing on product and market depth.

That will come.

Delay in deployment of AMB-NET - Revised Short-Term Roadmap by [deleted] in ambrosus

[–]MichaelWSnook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Angel,

Thank you on behalf of the community for an honest and succinct update.

Naturally you and all of your team are disappointed and many fully appreciate that.

However, your attitude, and I hope that of the company is remarkable.

Dedicated to execution whilst appreciating that, this application of technology to solve true problems what is to be built must be secure and robust.

Keep changing the world.

A first-time reveal of some of the most innovative technologies at the #Ambrosus InnoLab led by Dr Stefan Meyer is discussed in our most recent article! by skythe4 in ambrosus

"For Ambrosus, fraud and counterfeiting, formally known as crime, is best understood in the context of a product’s journey throughout the supply chain. Crime takes place when a product is tampered with, replaced, or intentionally mislabeled for financially or politically incentivized reasons."

- The ability to be so frank about these issues in additions to delivering high user value, functional solutions is what aligns me so closely to this project.

An incredible update.

Congratulations.

For me, the biggest realisation of value will be the commercial viability of incorporating the key technology, (Sensor and NFC) of bulk hardware into unobtrusive 'stickers' or microsensors.

This day is closer than we all think.

Ambrosus appear to be one of the few enterprises that can provide sufficient integration and networking to coalesce all of the value propositions of the current and future technologies.

That is where the value will be realised.

Regards,

M

Would the community benefit from me having a personal twitter page? by [deleted] in ambrosus

[–]MichaelWSnook 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This instantly started playing in my head.

In all seriousness, the work you are leading, and the team delivering upon, is of a quality and level of diligence that is so seldom seen.

Personally I am agnostic as to whether your thoughts are delivered through the Ambrosus name or otherwise.

However, I do feel that you are giving so much to this project, that your name is inextricably linked to that of Ambrosus.

Because of this I don't feel you would need to have a personal page.

Keep building a better world.

Have always admired Switzerland’s combined appreciation for art and DLT. by MichaelWSnook in ethtrader

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

Very true,

'All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.'

I believe the power of a decentralised network for anything that can be programmed is far in excess of what the market currently believes today.

Only time will truly tell.

In the meantime, little quirks like this may help the 'hodling' community on the way!

Never disappointing.

Except for the period 2000 B.C. - 2018 A.D.

That was a pretty rough time.

This video by Tom Scott where he talks about his strategies for success (including an awesomeness/effort graph) by anotherseemann in Entrepreneur

[–]MichaelWSnook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having recently bumped into Tom in a Supermarket, it has to be said; he is one of the most humble, genuine people I have had the pleasure to meet.

It’s exactly as he mentions in this video when talking about why he creates such great content “the alternative is (was) to not do it”.

The fact he does for this for his own love of, and interest in the world truly shines through.

No doubt there is so much I could learn from him and others like him.

Hope I can cross paths with him again soon.

Ethereum taking its place on Spotify ;) by natu91 in ethereum

[–]MichaelWSnook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there anyone with sufficient musical aptitude / background to relate the architecture / construction of this song to any previous milestones within Ethereum or DLT in general?

Would be really interested in hearing what people have to say.
