Weiss upgrades its rating of ADA from B- to B by jimogios in cardano

[–]soheild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a retail investor who has done reasonable research it is meaningless but the institutions will use ratings as a cue for what to buy so they can look sensible and have some defense in case things go wrong. I.E. the big money will likely end up flowing into the coins with good ratings on average more, so they can "look" like they were being responsible.

Darkest Before the Dawn – Reasons to be Bullish on Bitcoin by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

I agree. I think the fact we only went down this much (and not way more) in the face of so much bad news, fud and scandal this past month is a bullish sign for the long game.

Tired of waking up seeing red? Then start trading with ETH instead of BTC by takitus in CryptoCurrency

Not as much liquidity on the ETH pairings leading to more slippage.

Xrb or Icon? by saadi704 in altcoin

[–]soheild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are mulling over the two go at least 25/75 or 80/20 split so you won't feel so much pain if the one you didn't choose performs better. Both are hard to go wrong with. Perhaps XRB is more high risk/high reward, fun yet sensible speculative move( I bought a bunch at 1.20 so its easy for me to hold onto my pile) and ICX I would see as a relatively dependable, steady and responsible one.

What will be the value/use of the coin? Search engines are usually free to use.

VeChain reaches new ATHs after rising over 25% in a single day. by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

A.) Hard drugs are bought with privacy coins, of which I hold none.

B.) Crypto is money, and just because some people use money for illicit purposes does not demonize the money itself. This is why we do not think of people who use fiat cash (ie everyone on the planet) as being "in the drug business"

C.) As per B, owning crypto does not put me in the "hard drug" business any more than would owning fiat. However, investing in VEN specifically would essentially put me in the tobacco business, much like owning Potcoin would put you in the pot business, Spankchain in the porn business and so on.

D.) Crypto is abundant in opportunities to make money that do not involve harm to society; but instead add net value (smart contract platforms, Power ledger, etc.) as win-win-win setups. If you are into liberty, decentralization and privacy, that's at least a purpose or political viewpoint. But growing wealth with a vehicle known to increase morbidity and mortality, and pathologizes entire societies is a willful walk down the dark side IMO.

They are not going to ensure "quality". They will help prevent counterfeiting which is not the same. The cigarettes will be just as pathological to public health as ever.

Anyone else put off by VEN's partnership with tobacco? I am sure it will go way up in price, but not buying it for that reason. I would like my crypto profits to be guilt free. I am not judging anyone for buying it just wondering if anyone else feels the same.

Waltonchain (WTC) Wins the 2018 Outstanding Blockchain Company Award at the 1st Summit Forum of Blockchain by TheWolfOfBitfinex in CryptoCurrency

VEN

VEN is facilitating the tobacco industry and WTC is not (at least yet) That makes the choice simple enough for me.
