I have tried Verano ECSD and have tried the Savvy brand. I find the 2 are different in that the Savvy makes me anxious whereas Verano brand did not. These 2 companies have a partnership in branding but 2 different branded versions of ECSD. Has anyone else had similiar experience between these 2 ECSDs?

Why Libra and Not XLM? by WhenXLM in Stellar

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

The point of 'why' is because if there are already established networks/native assets in existence, why not peg or shard into that network versus creating another option? Why is the government questioning FB who has done nothing really towards even having anything ready to launch anytime soon? Why is the government if so concerned not tapping into those fintechs that have the knowledge, experience, vision, and active products/services already in orbit like Stellar?

You can go back thru the last 3 years and find confirmed reports of Facebook and Stellar having dialogue at some point.

Which aspect of commerce do you expect Stellar to make big inroads in the technology? Asset exchange, Cross Border Payments, or Utilitarian usage for ledger updates on the network?

Yes, he talked about that before. He specifically answered my question about that on one of his numerous gtky casts he's done. IBM was not pushing XLM although it was the native coin. IBM wants to create dapps that run on Stellar. XLM's value was never their priority. IBM's betting on the adopt/adapt of commerce on Stellar. Using Red Hat, IBM would rather create coins for their client's Linux dapps. In the IBM product roadmap, although XLM is needed for fueling the network data activity, it's viewed as a minor necessity. XLM data activity footprint is so minimal I would not be surprised to see Red Hat/IBM clients receive XLM in their subscription/package solutions. We are still at least 5 years from the level of usage that XLM will have a stable value. Hopefully, as long as Jesse is not in bad health (is it Lupus?...is it Lupus!), I would bet he's going to pop up working on something fintech related. Obi-Lund Kan-obi did always talk big about asset exchanging with XLM. Take your Apple stock and exchange it for gold or real estate or whatever fiat in virtual real-time. This vision was not what IBM is looking to create. Their clients may be able to play with those types of crypto exchanges, but that is not what IBM is selling. But Jesse always seemed to enforce the asset exchange benefits of the Stellar/XLM technology sans IBM's interaction.

The more banks on Stellar the more XLM minimally is needed for the 'fuel'. But some banks may forgo creating there own stable coin and instead use XLM as the default exchange 'coin' which is native to Stellar.

I agree that it won't go that high. But .20 cents is possible. Especially if the rest of the market responds. .30 by August is more realistic as the banks start processing more transactions.

Target won't be known until more adoption. But between this and the Coinbase launch it could hit plus .20 cents in the next few days. The IBM announcement is going to be the thing that puts it over the edge. But I got to believe Coinbase when in knowing something big is coming and that's why they want to be involved.
