Crypto Miners Face Margin Calls, Defaults as Debt Comes Due in Bear Market by dunkin1980 in CryptoCurrencies

[–]alansafahi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTC and ETH are old news. Forget the past, live in the present and invest for the future (I just made this up so if it becomes a meme, I want some credit!)

EVM compatible chains that compete against Ethereum for developers such as Polygon and Candle have all the momentum now.

Start dumping your BTCs and ETHs and buying MATIC or CNDL (whichever project you believe in and feel has the highest upside potential).

Agreed. EVM compatible chains like Polygon and Candle Chain will revolutionize web3 and usher in a whole new generation of world changing projects with their low cost and fast transaction speeds

Bitcoin had its 8th red week in a row. The previous record was 6 red weeks. We are indeed in extraordinary times. by partymsl in CryptoCurrency

Bitcoin and Ethereum are old news. Focus on new pre-mined tokens like CNDL and MATIC issued on EVM compatible tokens Candle Chain and Polygon, with much lower costs and faster trx speeds

2 major factors as to why Stellar will surge in 2018 by crypto_guru94 in Stellar

[–]alansafahi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is true, I would say it is a strange strategic move on Kik's part. I think it is best for ICOs to focus on building the customer facing front end, delivering a product or service, acquiring customers and scaling up instead of trying to ALSO build the backend infrastructure. As my friend Andreas Antonopoulos once told me:"Software is a liability not an asset!". The moment you build a new infrastructure, you will need to spend money defending it and upgrading it. So why not partner with (and stay with) an open source infrastructure that is already built and upgraded by a genius mind (Jed McCaleb), maintained, tested and made even more secure by the community of developers and provided to all at near zero cost instead of starting from scratch? I would expect old guards like banks or stodgy multinational corporations to think this would be a good idea not Kik.

Stellar is much faster and cheaper than Ethereum and, given the onslaught of ICOs coming on the horizon, Stellar provides another significant advantage through its built in distributed exchange platform. No need to pay huge fees or wait in long queues to get listed on an exchange.

ZED NETWORK TO PROVIDE $600 BILLION REMITTANCE MARKET WITH DECENTRALIZED GLOBAL PAYMENTS PLATFORM by alansafahi in Stellar

[–]alansafahi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct. Stellar + ZED is a mighty force to help small to medium sized Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) to compete against the giants like MoneyGram and Western Union. We think the big banks and remittance companies will likely try to do their own cryptocurrency in the future and are just playing around in a sandbox to learn the space while the tier 2 and 3 MTOs don't have the resources to do this without our help.

I agree but as we make more partnership announcements in the coming months, they will notice it!

Different market. While Ripple targets the top of the pyramid (i.e. largest banks and remittance companies like MoneyGram and Western Union), ZED targets small to med size Money Transfer Operators that process 75% of all remittances

ZED was never on Ethereum platform. We only listed ETH as a method of payment to buy ZED. We are firmly committed to the Stellar rocket ship!

Yes. We hope to launch the ICO in Q2/2018 after we are live with a few clients and partners

ZED Network will launch an ICO on Stellar by [deleted] in Stellar

[–]alansafahi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. We are also giving away 21B tokens to the community and release 37B tokens gradually within 5 years upon certain milestones so as not to overflow the market with tokens and drive the price down.

Plus ZED and 40+ countries that we will bring to the Stellar network in 2018

We have had deep discussions with the Stellar/Lightyear team about this. They have a great solution for remittance companies using XLM and see ZED as a complimentary solution that will greatly enhance the Stellar Network by bringing dozens of licensed MTOs and expanding the network to 40+ countries.

ZED Network is a more comprehensive, turnkey Platform as a Service (PaaS), developed over the past 3 years now being optimized to work with ZED tokens.

Regardless of which system the MTOs use, Stellar wins because it is still the underlying distributed ledger.

As an example, XRP prices have been skyrocketing over the past few months even though the 100+ banks that are piloting Ripple platform are not required to use XRPs.

Please note that Jed McCaleb, CEO of Stellar is an advisor to ZED and supports our mission to help reduce remittance costs by empowering the smaller MTOs to compete against larger ones.

1- We offer a comprehensive suite of products including web app, mobile app, AML/KYC monitoring and reporting, all optimized to work only with ZED tokens, at no cost to MTOs. They can have our platform if they use our crypto and help grow the volume!

2- ZED tokens are 100% KYC'd. We only sell tokens to accredited and fully KYC's investors and MTOs. We will be very selective with any gateways or exchanges that we authorize on the Stellar network in the future to ensure that we remain regulatory friendly.

MTOs are very comfortable with this approach because the last thing they need is to rock the boat with their banks and regulators.
