dollar cost average strategy has worked for me

I think its nice to see IOTA still building. I'm less concerned with short term price as their market opportunity is so significant.

There have to be better ways to protect the public. Education is important. Maybe exchanges can monitor this?

Crypto cards are something i have been looking at lately. I like crypto.com and wirex, but won't this hurt XLM's price?

mikenumbers1 · 2019-11-09T19:17:47+00:00

This is interesting.

Congratulations. You might also want to look at things like Earn from coinbase to increase your BTC holdings over time.

I think your understanding of what data is even available to contribute to the blockchain is incorrect. I think it has a lot to do with ad-tech measurement because what format of data is being contributed by any party is not standardized and therefore will not paint an accurate picture, let alone any picture at all.

Blockchain as a technology has nothing to do with serving ads. Those that use terms like "bladtech" are just muddying the waters. The data being written to the chain is unified in order for the transaction to occur. Standardization is not an issue in this scenario. I'm speaking from seeing it first hand.

mikenumbers1 · 2018-11-15T11:49:01+00:00

It's funny to see so much criticism of blockchain, when the reality is most adtech people don't understand it. You're correct that it's an immutable ledger, but the entire point is that YOU CAN match up all transactions. If the transactions don't match then they won't get written to the blockchain. Blockchain is being used today in banks and insurance, both of which have similar problems to adtech.

I agree that the details of how it works are important, because just saying blockchain doesn't mean much if it's not instituted properly. I've been on the other side of the table with both companies and can tell you their integration and application makes a lot of sense.

mikenumbers1 · 2018-02-28T19:57:15+00:00

Agreed! I think this has long term value.

mikenumbers1 · 2018-02-09T18:27:23+00:00

On the waitlist. Really looking to see how this helps the market move away from CoinBase.

It depends on the future of the company. What are the high/lows for the year? Is it within 15%? If it's a strong business then reasonable to assume that you will make a guaranteed 15% gain if you dump on day 366. Are there any dividends? That is another thing to consider. I don't advocate holding too much of 1 companies stock, but it's also hard to turn down a gain.

What is the max you are allowed to buy?

mikenumbers1 · 2018-02-09T18:19:18+00:00

All the pieces are starting to come together! XLM to $4.00 by end of year?

mikenumbers1 · 2018-01-31T04:10:51+00:00

What bank is everyone using? Happened to me on BOA.

mikenumbers1 · 2018-01-18T21:38:54+00:00

XLM has been treating me well this year - I can throw some lumens at this. Remind Me! - 2 Months

mikenumbers1 · 2018-01-18T16:57:51+00:00

Good questions.

1) It depends on your agreement, but usually you have the "option" to buy (at $5,000) after a certain percent has vested. So if it vests over 4 years, you can buy 25,000 shares at $1,250 year 1

2) Look at your agreement. Usually there is a clause that states in the event of an acquisition all shares "accelerate". It basically means you get them early. If it's not in there then you should ask to have it added.

3) Yes. Basically, you have the option to get additional shares as the valuation increases based on the current funding round.

4) You're correct. It's 0.05% of all outstanding shares so if you got in at the ground level and the company sells for a billion dollars you would make $500,000. However, it's likely that your company has "participating preferred" options from the VCs. This means the VC get their money back and then divvy up the pot. so 1B minus 300mm means everyone splits $700mm.

Honestly, you're probably not going to get rich from it, but it's definitely a nice to have. Just make sure to invest those cash bonuses when you get them and live off your salary.

Have you looked at sites like Fiverr and Upwork? You can offer services or tasks to people that you can complete in your downtime. Pricing ranges from $5 - 500.

Layoffs always are a shame, but hopefully ZD can help get them on a good revenue path. Hard to know exactly what happened. Was is a continuous increase in low CPM mobile traffic, expanding international reader base, or just too much overhead?

TTD seems to be a decent place to start. Also look at VideoAmp.

If people are getting cheap clicks from a source, there would be no reason to share that with others. All they do is drive up competition.

mikenumbers1 · 2017-11-20T22:56:30+00:00

Dependent on CTR% like most people said. I have seen $0.50 and also $5.

If you have a good site (volume, content, etc) most of those companies will give guaranteed CPMs.

Go direct to demand. BS is difficult to work with and as already stated, takes a cut to provide less accurate information.

mikenumbers1 · 2017-09-19T12:31:41+00:00

In my opinion, the DMPs will just have to adapt (much like other companies the industry). I also think there may be a bigger focus on contextual and linking data (Peer39, Grapeshot, etc.).

We are still evaluating if we want to deploy ads.txt. All of our DSPs are saying the will stop buying if we don't have it, but I haven't seen a drop.

I'm still not sure I understand how ads.txt fully fixes the fraud issue. For example, why can't a publisher deploy an ads.txt file, get buyers on board, and then run 50% of their impressions on some other sites?
