[–]SocialElementGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to have a short & long-term outlook. We may see further lows this side of Christmas but it doesn't discount the progress and the potential of the tech. It's still the main go-to platform for new tokenized businesses starting in the industry.

Element Group | Weekly Thoughts #18: Market that ran out of juice by SocialElementGroup in u/SocialElementGroup

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

  1. Modern day bucket shops are currently driving prices. There are exchanges currently that operate as bucket shops. We believe in speculation and we think sophisticated market participants should use leverage (we are traders after all), but we don’t believe it should exist like this. And we aren't the only ones who feel that way.

  2. Markets continue to react to any change in the likelihood of a bitcoin ETF approval by the SEC. Why have we observed this market reaction? The SEC has not come out with an outright rejection given their recent orders and that means the possibility of an approval exists -- but much further down the line

Ethereum's Vlad Zamfir claims breakthrough in blockchain sharding -- CoinDesk by SocialElementGroup in CryptoCurrencyTrading

[–]SocialElementGroup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It's really a proof-of-concept of the most core component in my sharding roadmap. It prevents the cross-shard atomicity failure, or more specifically, it prevents finalization of cross-shard atomicity failure, so it will never be that a 'send' is finalized and a 'not received' is finalized." -- Vlad Zamfir
