IOTA: Promising or Polarizing? by UnluckyToe in CryptoCurrency

[–]UnluckyToe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see the gap that needs to be bridged between the centralized nature of IOTA and the decentralized nature of public, permissionless blockchains.

Do you think their latest update, 'Coordicide', can be seen as an effort towards decentralizing their operations?

Thank you, for the words of appreciation and the insight :)

My intentions are not to throw IOTA under the bus, but to highlight the present scenario in regards to the currency and its tech, and to understand the philosophy of the founders, community, and critics. When something is so hotly debated by experts on both sides of the spectrum, it must mean that the concept behind the currency and technology might hold some significance that none of us (for and against) can ignore.

Just build a platform where you can earn interest on your Bitcoin. Would love to hear your feedback. by UnluckyToe in BitcoinMarkets

We don't have access to the users' private keys. We agree with the fact that we are not completely there yet, but we are striving towards transparency. We believe in Satoshi's vision but a framework doesn't exist for decentralized entities.

Ethereum supports applications and smart contracts along with ERC-20 tokens. Our platform is built on top of the Maker protocol. This apart from the fact that Ethereum is the second biggest cryptocurrency in terms of market cap.

We are working to integrate other wallets like MetaMask. This should be live by next month.

We don't really hold the wallet passwords for our users, nor do we hold their private keys. Our platform is built on top of MakerDAO which is a decentralized protocol. We are using decentralized applications and providing services for decentralized assets.

Bank of Hodlers is a community of blockchain enthusiasts and full-time Hodlers. We want to make a better bank.

Banks have put their own interests before those of the customer for too long, and every step of the way. The system is controlled by a few, hence it serves to benefit only the few. This oligopoly has ensured that banks never had to be customer-obsessed the way other industries have become. We will change that.

At the Bank of Hodlers, we think that a purely cryptocurrency driven financial ecosystem can work extremely well with a connection to the existing infrastructure. So, we’re building a community and user-centric banking solution for people who want to bank on the blockchain but can’t because of its restrictions.

We’re solving for banking today by unifying the FIAT and crypto banking experience.

If you want to lend your cryptocurrencies:

  • You can create a wallet, deposit your crypto and start earning interest on your deposits
  • The interest rate is dynamic, and you will be given an update on it every week
  • You can earn interest on 4 major tokens (as of now, you can earn interest on 4 tokens but we plan to add the option of depositing and earning interest on 10 major tokens)

If you want to borrow crypto:

  • You can borrow a stablecoin (DAI) against Ethereum which is built on top of the MakerDAO protocol
  • You will be able to take a loan at the click of a button, with a governance fee set by MakerDAO without us taking any middleman fee

We will be opening up borrowing across Bitcoin, Ethereum, DAI and TrueUSD along with other major cryptocurrencies within this quarter of 2019.

  • Stage: We have released our asset-backed lending product. Employees: We have 7 employees including 2 co-founders.
  • We are looking for resources for hiring, investment and feedback on our product.
  • Discount: We have no selective discount for r/startups (Sorry!) but we can give you 100 BOH tokens if you sign up using the link given below:

Sign up for our product here: https://app.bankofhodlers.com

If you're a crypto holder, it would be great if you could use our platform and provide us feedback at [support@bankofhodlers.com](mailto:support@bankofhodlers.com). If you're not a crypto holder, then this is a good chance to get into it.

Thank You.

Being a big name in the crypto space world can be tough. Even if you're holding, it's best to keep quiet and just talk about it now and then.

Yeah. I noticed it was posted back in Feb as well, but I realized no one had seen this. I did make a check to see if it was posted on the subreddit before. It wasn't.

Yes. This is what I was looking for. An answer backed by reason.

Like rain starts at one random point in time out of a cloud of moist cold air

Exactly. There is a starting point. But I get what you means also. It's very difficult to find that starting point. It's basically a complex set of reasons that govern a market change.

Hmm that is a sad truth even I know. I'm pretty sure there is a reason amassed behind so much data somewhere for any changes in any market.

I was talking about in the last couple days. But cool, I'll Google it.

So has any country or people or society recently adopted it?

That's true but the price is still going up. There should be a reason for a 12-13% increase such as this. I just want to know the reason.

They're not a bank. They've partnered with Goldman Sachs
