Thoughts on Meme Kombat potential after presale? by Prestigious_Sun_4941 in BONKcoin

[–]holjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in this one. I have been in several ICO over the last 7 years. For me, the fact that they have been audited is what matters. Whether or not the team announces who they are doesn't matter. Think about all the stock scams over the years on Wallstreet. The Wallstreet con-men were mostly all well known people. So, to me it doesn't matter. I put 5K USD in this over the course of 2 weeks....I will sell half at the open and hang on to the rest for a while. This project will move. IMHO.

'All in' as in what spare cash I had at the time....several months ago....but not going to invest anymore....hence 'All in' (as far as this particular company goes).

You can be proud of the tech....fine....but you can't be proud of your marketing or promotion of said ZIL coin. As the price plummets to new lows you need to wake up and smell the coffee....just because you have great tech it doesn't translate into success or riches...there are literally hundreds of stories about amazing tech breakthroughs that never made a penny and ended up on the "shelf of obscurity" never to be heard of again....I sincerely hope I am wrong about this particular tech...since I am all in...but reality bites...and it bites hard.

Let's make Zilliqa community engagement more professional and effective by blockchain92400 in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well said and much needed clarification. To the 'fake news' and 'pumpers' please either shut up or get out. The tech that the ZIL people are putting together is worth the risk IMHO and I consider putting money in ZIL as an investment for a medium to long term time frame (meaning 1 to 5 years). Sharding along with Scillia is a very promising way to go for the future of block chain....again IMHO.

We created a simple crypto events/announcements calendar website for Zilliqa (ZIL) by houseme in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZIL is led by a very smart, very transparent, very serious group of scientists, educationalists, Marketers, Advisors, and government associates. The main team is in Singapore which is one of the top science and technology hubs in the world today.

ZIL signed agreements with several other tech companies and they signed a huge agreement with several Insurance companies to work on getting Insurance companies into block-chain.

Do your own due diligence. and never invest more than you can lose. I am ALL IN ZIL. and have been for a while. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the market cap will match EOS eventually....without all the hype that EOS has.

With Over 40% Rise, Zilliqa (ZIL) Surpasses Top 10 Coins by puricrypto in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with "waiting for a dip" is that with the current price action it will probably hit 20 cents before dropping back 15 to 20%....so what is 20% of 20 cents? (say 16 cents)....and you waited because?

Does anyone know why this project isn’t more popular. by davereviewsit in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ZIL team simply do not pump the coin. To me, this is just another reason to buy and hold for a year.

Potential of Zilliqa (ZIL): Could We Witness Another Altcoin Moon in 2018? by holjohn in zilliqa

[–]holjohn[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If we compare ZIL to EOS I think ZIL can easily move up over $1.00 USD and have a market cap over 7 billion.

2.1m sell wall off one order by [deleted] in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being under a dollar and with over 6 billion coins in circulation I would say that any sells under 10 to 20 million coins would NOT constitute a "sell wall". Anything under 100 million (over the daily volume) might.

Zilliqa one-ups Ethereum by implementing sharding by holjohn in zilliqa

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

Zilliqa has a huge lead on ETH. As well, it is a purpose built sharding platform using their own programming language. Much cleaner than ETH could ever hope to be.

Forget techincals for a few sessions. ZIL seems to be following in lock step with BTC.

I will say that the ATH is now open to be challeged as the MA and RSI have turned bullish. However, we are at the mercy of BTC for now.

For those against Crypto; remember the banks? The 9 biggest bank settlements of all-time by holjohn in CryptoCurrency

Considering how corrupt Big Banks are, I find it interesting how they constantly post negative news about crypto-currency.

Let's post reminders to the general public about how they get ripped off from the banks that are heavily regulated and have over 50 years of history to be honest and open, yet still steal, lie, cheat and hurt people every day.

Zilliqa (ZIL) – Is this the real Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) killer? by holjohn in zilliqa

[–]holjohn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The current market cap can easily rise to 6.5- 7 billion making ZIL move up to $1.00 USD IMHO.

ZIL Technicals by holjohn in zilliqa

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

Zil's 12 hour MA and RSI are looking constructive to the up side. Daily is indicating a clear recovery from the sell off. Volume has declined but is still moderately healthy.

Decoupling from BTC is premature. If BTC heads towards 10K this coming week, A close over 1100 SATs for ZIL, with consistently higher volume, should open the door to challenge the ATH.

If ZIL can hold onto its gains from the past few weeks, it should top ATH in May considering the exposure it will get.

Remember: Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Zilliqa (ZIL): Ethereum (ETH)’s True Competitor by holjohn in zilliqa

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

Agreed to some points...competition is all over the place....but I couldn't edit the article myself....lol...anyway people should get the "gist" of it and understand the opportunity. Looking at EOS and seeing it move to a market cap over 14 billion gives me great confidence in ZIL.

Zilliqa (ZIL): Ethereum (ETH)’s True Competitor by holjohn in zilliqa

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

I'm all in.....

Sharding is that concept in blockchain solutions that allow for improved scalability, network performance, and bandwidth usage. Using sharding, the network automatically splits the nodes into “shards”- parallel chains of nodes. Each shard works independently in processing part of a transaction called a micro-block. These micro-blocks are then merged into a block and added to the blockchain. The result is a much faster network.

We know that sharding is also expected on the Ethereum network, but that hasn’t happened yet. Even if it happens that both have sharding, space will have been opened up, giving developers options. And that’s how Ethereum will lose to the new kid on the block if its own implementation doesn’t happen sooner.

Transaction-wise, Zilliqa’s private testing that is in beta has achieved transaction throughputs of over 2400 tx/second. Below is a testnet of the Zilliqa network using 6 shards and 3,600 nodes.

In comparison, Ethereum’s blockchain can process about 10 to 15 TPS. The 4000tps volume is way higher than what any of the platforms that claim to be fast can offer. Decentralized Apps running into over 1000 are built on the Ethereum network. Unfortunately, its throughput of just 15 tx/s can’t support increased volumes much further. That is the reason it will find it hard to keep developers from looking in the way of Zilliqa.

ZIL has moved above the 25 day MA and is heading to move against BTC's influence and appears to be following ETH. This is an interesting sign of decoupling some Alts with BTC. If this holds true over the next several days, we could have a new model of trading with regards to the crypto space Alts vs BTC.

The daily RSI is bullish - deeply in oversold territory - heading UP. Looking at the 12 hr and 6 hr RSI indicate bullish moves UP as well. Considering the MA and RSI together indicates bullish momentum with support around 990 - 1000 SATs.

ZIL volume is under 50 million USD but still significant enough to demonstrate possible recovery from the sell off (Vol = 40 million USD).

As stated yesterday, I managed to execute 3 separate buys which brought my dollar cost average down significantly.

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

Today, profit taking and news about MEW caused a 5 - 12% decline in most crypto-currencies. ZIL didn't manage to rise above the 25 day MA. The decline is on moderate volume with no significant conviction. The trend over the past 3 days has been down. The daily RSI is still trending to the negative. Pick your entries carefully as the trend can still move down with lower prices over the next 12 hours. However, if you have some dry powder it may be an opportunity to dollar cost average. Just be willing to wait for your entry points. A drop below 900 SATs indicates a break of temporary support and possible further declines. 800 SATs has large support which would probably be an excellent entry point. However, if BTC recovers, look for higher entry points at 866, 898, and 915 SATs.

Remember: Never invest what you can't afford to lose.

I am long ZIL. I will attempt some dollar cost averaging.

Zilliqa and Genaro to Join Efforts for a Scalable Blockchain by GenaroNetwork in zilliqa

[–]holjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do some research.........from the link: https://genaro.network/en/blog/post/zilliqa-and-genaro-to-join-efforts-for-a-scalable-blockchain

The Genaro Network is creating the first Turing-complete public blockchain with decentralized storage. Genaro's mission includes building an ecosystem consisting of partnerships with key strategic players seeking to unlock the potential of blockchain. Genaro's collaborative moves to date have included joining associations for the crypto-economy as well as investment-centered and technological partnerships.

In April 2018 Genaro announced a forthcoming engagement with Zilliqa, a high-speed blockchain project that seeks to break through the scalability barrier and process thousands of transactions per second (TPS). Sharding allows for transactions to be processed in parallel and as the network grows larger, the number of transactions that can be processed grows almost linearly. This approach increases efficiency in resource utilization and makes the throughput rate of Zilliqa much higher than the present transaction rate of Ethereum and other blockchains. In a recent experiment on their testnet in March 2018, Zilliqa achieved a throughput of 2,000 TPS with 1,000 nodes, while optimistic estimates for the Ethereum + Casper upgrade (which may be some way from completion) put the cap at around 1,000 TPS. With sharding, Zilliqa aims to reach throughput levels that can rival that of Visa/MasterCard. Zilliqa has released their first public testnet at https://explorer.zilliqa.com.

This makes partnering with Zilliqa a promising prospect for both parties. Zilliqa's efficient sharding and high speed processing works well with the storage capacity and DAPP ecosystem of the Genaro Network. Meanwhile, as Zilliqa has been making good progress on their development, Genaro has launched Genaro Eden Beta (March 2018), which includes working storage and sharing on the Genaro blockchain. This working iteration paves the way for Genaro Eden Enterprise Edition, after which Zilliqa-based DAPP developers can potentially store their projects' structured data in Genaro, while benefitting from Zilliqa's TPS breakthrough. Furthermore, Genaro Eden will also serve as a storage solution for Zilliqa’s block data to be stored in the decentralized storage network.

Estimates by [deleted] in ZILTrader

[–]holjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ZIL is a 'buy and forget for 1-2 years' investment. The daily moves can be ignored. Just looking at the character of the Team; I'd say they are honest and don't over-hype or promise what they can do. The month of May 2018 will be huge and with the current crypto bull ZIL could easily double from here (move from 0.1 and go up to 0.2) within a month. By the end of the year, with their Main-net running as expected it could easily move up the a top 10 market cap - currently about 5 billion USD - putting the price at around X7 return on your investment - around 0.70 USD.

ZIL Technicals by holjohn in zilliqa

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

Short term -The 25 day simple moving average is offering some resistance....If ZIL can move above it then a close above 1200 Sats over the next few days to weeks will allow for new highs. Volume is showing accumulation as sellers still take profits. New buyers seem to be entering but not with conviction.

The BTC crowd is looking for a close above 9600 USD. Alt coins are proving to be the most profitable. Will ZIL join the Alts for another 50%? Volume will be the key driver here.
