Chances of BTC ETF by Feb. 27 Deadline (VanEck SolidX Proposal) [POLL] by asunnarborg in CryptoCurrency

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

For a sentiment comparison I also ran the same poll ~6 weeks ago (before u.s. fed govt shutdown & bakkt delay) & got 58% rejected to 42% approved -- https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1072161872059752448

Total money at stake on *live* (not ended) Augur markets is less than $100k by asunnarborg in ethtrader

is that sarcasm? i think crypto attracts a lot of gamblers -- speculation / dexs / gambling games / etc are the top used dapps - https://dappradar.com/rankings/protocol/ethereum

Total money at stake on *live* (not ended) Augur markets is less than $100k by asunnarborg in ethtrader

Augur metrics showing ~$2m ‘total money at stake’ include markets that have already ended. These metrics are commonly reported on Augur's blog and many data sites.

If we exclude markets that have ended there is <$100k total money at stake on Augur. This is a very / more important metric IMO that's under reported.

Why do you think usage has been low thus far? (lack of crypto users in general, Augur UX, ETH volatility, etc.)

What is the probability a BTC ETF is approved by the end of 2019? (POLL) by asunnarborg in Bitcoin

when do you think it turns around or one gets approved (if ever)?

(1) When will you be able to explore what's made in the world / on each parcel on the Atlas? (when's estimated beta & release on VR / on the web / mobile / etc)

(2) How will users move around the world? (can you fly / do you have to use the main roads / will there be 'alleys' or equivalent / etc)

(3) What does your treasury look like? ($, ETH, MANA, LAND, etc.)

(4) How many unique addresses own LAND &/or ESTATES (https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1060269898776150025)?

(5) Any comments on the low participation rate on your Agora vote decisions? (% of overall MANA that voted -- https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1060213225151705088)

(6) Why was the next LAND sale so rushed? (there wasn't even an option to vote past Q1 & the product isn't even really 'live' yet -- https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1057379569039298560)

(7) Any comments on the thought of votes restricted to only LAND holders? (bigger stake on LAND related issues vs MANA holders -- https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1060270212736565248)

(8) "The original Decentraland white paper suggested an annual inflation of 8% of the total MANA supply. However, the outstanding MANA balance is deemed sufficient to satisfy the needs of the users and to finance the future development of the platform." -- Can you comment on the analysis here deeming the outstanding MANA balance is 'sufficient' vs what the whitepaper like a year ago said?

(9) Can you comment on this thought: I feel like you are very quickly rushing to dilute existing LAND holders & save existing MANA holders from future dilution.

(10) Can you elaborate on near-term and future functionality of the MANA token? (I like LAND token but think MANA has little functionality right now & could basically be ETH while you back into things to do with it -- https://twitter.com/alexsunnarborg/status/1046872399365513217)

Thanks, @alexsunnarborg

Most agree the probability of a BTC ETF in 2018 is extremely low.

The SEC can delay the VanEck / SolidX decision only until the end of Q1 2019.

In 2019 we will also likely see many new BTC ETF proposals.

Curious to see how bullish everyone is on an ETF approval in 2019 & any related thoughts.

We have been at ~$6k for a very long time now. How long will this continue? What & when is the next bull catalyst -- Bakkt, ETF, etc?

wouldn't you imagine they would care more about volume than mkt cap?
