A trader and crypto strategist known in the industry for his accurate prediction of the 2020 Bitcoin bear market bottom is unveiling a list of seven low-cap crypto assets that he believes have the potential to break out.

In a new tweet, Smart Contracter tells his 70,000 Twitter followers that he’s keeping a close watch on the new decentralized finance (DeFi) project Spice, which he says could possibly surge in value by 200% in the coming days.

“As CryptoMessiah says, he who controls the spice, controls the world. Low [market-cap] DeFi project, nice chart. This is getting sent 3-5x this [altseason] easy.”

Another coin on Smart Contracter’s radar is Ampleforth (AMPL), which is an ERC-20 token that adjusts its supply based on demand.

The trader expects the coin’s market cap to print a new all-time high by early next year.

“AMPL +80.7%, just gonna keep updating how much it’s up by since [original posting] until its market cap reaches all-time highs. Thank you for understanding, higher we go.”

Smart Contracter is looking at Perpetual Protocol (PERP) as well, a platform that enables users to trade crypto assets with leverage in a decentralized manner.

The trader highlights the crypto token’s huge volume inflows as an indication that it may erupt.

“Huge volume coming in now, this thing looks [fire].”

The trader is also watching Cover Protocol (COVER), a project that allows users to get coverage on assets and projects beyond crypto and smart contracts.

Smart Contracter believes that the low-cap crypto asset is poised to print a new all-time high.

“Keep your [eyes] on COVER. It’s looking like the Pickle claims will go through which gives Cover and DeFi insurance use case a huge boost.

My gut tells me this thing moons. Only 12 million mcap (marketcap) atm (at the moment). 5-10x from here is not out of the question.”

Additionally, the crypto analyst is keeping tabs on DeFi liquidity pool platform SushiSwap (SUSHI). Smart Contracter predicts that the DeFi asset is set to erupt above $3.

“Full send SUSHI. Anything under $3 is FUD.”

Smart Contracter also tells his followers to keep an eye on Power Pool (CVP), which he says is making a solid index for the Yearn.finance ecosystem.

Last on Smart Contracter’s list is Aave (AAVE), which he’s predicting will explode over 120% in a matter of months.

“AAVE still flying. Daily is going to be a strong close above prior all time highs without a doubt. The mark-up has begun. We’ll be above [$]150 in no time at all. Last chance to hop on the train.”

Meanwhile, fellow crypto analyst and influencer Nicholas Merten is bullish on the altcoin market at large.

In a new video, Merten is looking at the 100-BTC.D chart which maps the market share of altcoins in the crypto space.

The analyst expects altcoins to continue their uptrend as 100-BTC.D looks prepared to ignite another move up.

“Don’t feel like you’re too late to the game guys because quite frankly, after we set this new bottom here, back in mid November, we’ve been holding up substantially well ever since we had this solid week of price action, going in towards the close or the later portion of November.

We’ve been able to hold the vast majority of the gains and now are building into a wedge here. I have a lot of confidence that this is going to end well, that this is going to pick up and break out here in the short term.”

Key Highlights • XRP/USD trade has a bit witnessed lower highs than lower lows around a $0.20 price level• XR/USD pair needs slight-downward moves from the current range point before getting to see a nice uptrend return in the crypto-market.• Continued inactive price action in XRP/USD market will be a sign of prolonging the current range market operations. • Major resistance levels: $0.22, $0.24, $0.26• Major support levels: $0.18, $0.16, $0.14 As at the time of writing today, XRP/USD trade has a bit witnessed lower highs than lower lows in its market-valuation around the same range trading level it keeps over a couple of days. From a technical viewpoint, the crypto-fiat pair has to continue to trade under a selling pressure, which has made an upsurge-move tough for the crypto around the $0.20 range trading level. It could now be a good time for XRP/USD bears to take the market advantage from that range trading point as bulls seem to be in a relaxation-moving mote. In the event of not seeing that assumption playing out, bulls will potentially regain energy to push north-away from the current range trading level. All the trend-lines of the Bollinger Bands have now shrunk underneath the 50-day SMA trading indicator, pointing flat to the east direction. And, a line of tiny Japanese candlesticks formed around the Upper Bollinger Band trend-line at a $0.20 price level. All those, technically showcase a range move in progress presented in the market operations. The Stochastic Oscillators have moved into the overbought trading region. And, they have crossed the hairs at range 80, pointing towards a south-direction. That signals the possibility of getting to see a line of decline soon in the XRP/USD pair. Owing to a continued inactive price moves on the part of XRP bulls, the market activities may either prolong its sideways trading outlook further or lose out the momentum to bears in the long-run. Meanwhile, that assumed scenario plays; there’ll be a rebound in no time as long being ever projected for decent resurface entries for long positions Disclaimer: The presented information is subjected to market condition and may include the very own opinion of the author.

Ethereum (ETH) is on the verge of its biggest sell-off in months. The price has run now run into a confluence of strong resistances. ETH/USD has already faced rejection at the trend line resistance for three weeks now. The horizontal resistance at $193.64 is a strong support turned resistance that has close to zero probability of being breached at this point. That being, said traders must account for all such possibilities when entering a short position. Now, the fact of the matter is that even bullish analysts and traders who think the price has already bottomed are also expecting a pullback in the future. While bearish traders and analysts expect a pullback too, they think the price could end up going a lot lower. Regardless of how low the price ends up going, the fact that both bulls and bears are agreed on the pullback means that this is a good time to look for setups to open short positions.Every single market cycle in the history of cryptocurrencies has taken longer than the previous one. By that argument alone, we can tell right away that the bear market is not over yet. Chart analysis makes things a bit complicated as people interpret patterns, trend lines and support/resistance levels in their own way. However, the big picture always stays intact for those that are willing to observe with an unbiased eye. A lot of people who expect Ethereum (ETH) to fly to the moon from here as well as those that expect it to go to zero are clearly biased. However, they may not be biased to think that the next major correction is going to wipe out a lot of ERC20 tokens. If we analyze the cryptocurrency market for all the developments over the past few years, we can see that there is a very dangerous pattern of moving to the next trendy investment.We have seen a lot of hype cycles in some cryptocurrencies that were soon forgotten when the next ‘hot’ investment came around. There is no reason to name any of them. Those who have been around for a while know how an ERC20 token rises to prominence, sees its biggest hype cycle and is then dumped and forgotten about. Most cryptocurrencies apart from the top twenty have a market cap of less than $500 million. The weekly chart for Total Crypto Market Cap (excluding Bitcoin) shows that the combined market cap is heavily overbought. It has also faced a strong rejection at the 50 week EMA and is now ready to decline towards the 21 week EMA and eventually the 200 week EMA.As long as the combined market cap (excluding Bitcoin) remains above the 200 week EMA, we will see more sideways action. This is expected to last till the end of May, 2019 after which we can expect to see a major sell-off that will see the combined market cap (excluding Bitcoin) fall to its trend line support. This move will result in more cryptocurrencies closing shops than we have seen so far. A lot of blockchain projects will go belly up and the mainstream investor will lose hope in the future of cryptocurrencies. The market will take a long time to recover from all that as the next market cycle will take longer than the previous one. Most ERC20 tokens below the top 200 certainly do not stand a chance to survive the next crash, but we might see some well-known cryptocurrencies in the top 100 close shop as all the moon dreams fall apart.Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

In the film “Up in the Air,” the main character, Ryan Bingham, played by George Clooney, hits on a woman in a bar by bragging “I’d be the seventh person to do it [joining American Airline’s 10 M Mile club]. More people have walked on the moon.” Only in his early 30’s, my IBM colleague, Juan, was already an elite member of United’s Global Services program though still not quite the equivalent of the AA’s 10M club. Juan was going places. I called him a points whore. Juan would actually change hotels mid-week if check-in bonuses were involved. Meanwhile, he would dole out points advice around flights, hotels, and car rentals. Need to change flight itinerary while maintaining max points, ask Juan. Want the best concierge service and the fastest way to getting status, ask Juan. Want to know any special point popping programs, ask Juan. Meanwhile, I had to photochopped an “A” onto my Southwest boarding pass before hastily rushing out the client’s office. Trust me, you don’t want to board with the amateur travelers in “C” class, and then getting those looks from the previously A and B boarders. If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you give us that humiliating look, do we not deserve any overhead space? I was not going to have any of that. Consumer companies have trained us well to vie for status, however, customers are getting increasingly disloyal to these programs. After calculating the lifetime value of these programs, customers are gaming them, making it increasingly harder for companies to gain value. Customers are complaining that the programs are frustratingly difficult to use with frequent and confusing blackouts. Points can expire eroding loyalty, and yet transferring them where they can be best used and infecting loyalty is difficult. Opportunity for Tokenization and BlockchainNear the end of the film, Bingham passes the 10M mark in mid-flight, becoming the youngest person to achieve the distinction amidst the jubilant flight crew. The plane’s captain, played by the great Sam Elliott, takes time out of the cockpit to personally present the special 10M card, one of only 7 ever made, to a bewildered Clooney. Despite being the profound moment in his life, Clooney is dumbfoundedly speechless as he questions the value of the elite membership over the sacrifice he has committed. But in the next scene, he calls the AA frequent flyer number on his newly minted card, where a friendly voice instantly greets him with a warm, “Hello Mr. Bingham.” “How’d you know it was me?” Silly boy, you have a dedicated line just for you. In real life, your call is placed on a high priority queue but after you have entered your membership number. This ain’t Hollywood. Both loyalty members and companies are finding it mutually costly to stay committed in the relationship. When bitcoin crashed near the end of 2017, it took down a lot of token value along with the viability of blockchains. About 70% of 2017 issued ICO’s were either fraud or based on at best, inept business models, so, therefore, I am not a fan of ICO’s. But issuing tokens for loyalty programs are an ideal platform for companies to introduce blockchain-enabled tokenization in order to build the next generation of brand loyalty. The efficiencies in using token. For starter, companies already have built in some level of trust with the consumer. That is already a valuable foot in the door. By leveraging blockchain and tokenization, companies can build more creative and complex programs which can leverage smart contracts. For example, a customer can be awarded bonus tokens if they stay at some hotels, after flying a certain airline, renting a car, and dining in certain restaurants as part of a larger affiliate program. These types of complex programs would be easier to set up by the companies, easier for customers to participate and track, and easier for customer to redeem their points. And why did Ryan Bingham need to call the frequent flyer number? He wanted to transfer a million miles to his niece as a wedding gift. Something which he could not complete with his initial call, albeit it was due to his boss interrupting him. If his miles were represented by tokens then it would have been only a simple matter of transferring them from his digital wallet to his niece’s wallet. While it’s true that companies can already do this putting a web/mobile interface on top of a points/miles transaction interface, it’s the blockchain and smart contracts which can then support more complex partner participation. Finally, tokenization provides greater liquidity, efficiency, transparency, and ease of use in a real win-win value proposition that makes it an ideal solution for loyalty programs. Once consumers adopt to using tokens, then more sophisticated digital finance will be an easier step to make.

The objective of this article is to review all of my current holdings in various cryptocurrencies and to undertake the healthy exercise of giving my reasons for holding these particular coins versus the vast plethora of other investment vehicles possible to jump into. I will also detail for your edification my strategy that I have recently formulated bringing together all the lessons I have learned by effectively paying the price of north of $400,000 in terms of opportunity gains that I could have secured but didn't because of naïveté and lack of attention to the primacy of fractal cycles in human behavior, namely in the eternal greed flowing into fear flowing into greed dynamic which IS the market.

When I first started I was blessed with extraordinary beginner's luck as I had invested in the Bitquence ICO as my first ICO back when it was only 5 cents in June of 2017. With those gains, I had then invested in Substratum, Power Ledger, Cindicator, and many others. All of them as you can find out blew up enormously. If I had done nothing with my investments, the peak of what I could have earned was over a half million dollars. And if I would have applied this strategy I will share with you later to those moon missions I would have hundreds of thousands of dollars right now even at the recent bottoming out of the market instead of tens of thousands. And it all started with $1350 in mid 2017. I am going to become very very wealthy and I'd like to share my strategy with you in the hopes that by helping you to make more intelligent investment decisions we can all as a collective finally mature and become wiser. I am not a financial advisor. I am nobody.

I have made countless mistakes. I have paid the price for learning these mistakes which was basically inevitable. It's truly only a matter of when and at what price you learn from your mistakes. The lesson repeats until it is learned. It is said that the wise can learn from others without having to make the mistakes themselves, however, I have never been able truly to really own the lesson without having first made the horrible mistake myself. However, it's simply a matter of changing your perspective to realize that it's very good to learn from those past mistakes (or missed opportunities), because you will now be far less likely to commit the same mistakes again in the future. So, now 9 months of full time experience being involved in dozens of communities/projects and learning with an amazingly smart group of people I have now formulated a strategy of profit-taking to protect myself against greed and fear.

Now that I have my strategy in place, I no longer have to do much thinking, as I merely execute my plans without much in the way of emotional attachment involved. It's simple. Get involved in a project you believe in and have good reason will go to the stratosphere in the natural course of time. Whip out a spreadsheet and in one row name your sell targets. Once the sell targets are set, ranging over ten stages, you'll take 10% at each stage. For me right now I've got 10 sell targets for each coin I'm involved with which are all included in this report. So to give you an example let's take Debitum which has just recently concluded it's ICO. Suppose I invested $5,000. What's the plan according to my strategy?

Example : Debitum

(these values may or may not be my real numbers)

As you can see I have it divided over ten stages. Each stage is assigned a certain multiplier. For Debitum specifically I have set the multipliers to begin at a higher point (7x) rather than some of my other investments I may start it at 3x or 5x. Automatically is computed the price at which I would need to sell Debitum in order to make exactly a 7x gain which would be in my case $0.924. However, as you can see, the intention is never to sell the full amount at once, but only 10% of my balance of tokens at each stage as the price continues over time rising, meeting my predetermined sell-targets.

So let's say stage 1 is completed and I sell 10% of my Debitum tokens at $0.924 which is a 7x gain. I automatically then divide the profits by certain percentages into $BTC, $LTC, and $USDT/fiat which are respectively 30% / 50% / 20% . The plan here is that $LTC I hold forever as I believe it will achieve a 1:5 ratio with BTC by the end of 2018 bringing it to a value anywhere between $10,000 and $20,000. So you can see how applying my strategy to all of my alt-coin investments is the way I reinforce and add to incrementally across time my primary currency holding which is $LTC.

Why would I divide some of the profit into USDT or fiat? Well, so that I can then set a buy order for the same currency I just sold at a huge profit to buy back in at a price half of what I sold it at. That's the rule. Suppose the following :

Debitum reaches stage 1 sell-target of $0.924 (7x) and 10% of my holdings are sold which let's say equals $3700 of profit, which depends on your initial investment value.

I immediately place the next sell-target order predetermined by 2nd stage which in my case is $1.18 (9x multiplier) with 10% of my new balance of tokens after having executed stage 1. Now I'm ready emotionless and detached for the next upward price movement.

Simultaneous with (2.) I set a buy order with 20% of that $3700 profit as 80% of it will go permanently into BTC or LTC. So that means after profits are taken at each stage 20% will go into USDT or fiat to buy back into the same coin I just sold out of. Here is my rule : Whatever price I sell (in our example stage 1 was $0.924) I can only buy back in at half that price, effectively aiming to recover about half the amount of tokens I sold! So for our example, after completion of stage 1, and reserving 20% those profits in USDT or fiat, I then set a buy order at that same exchange for half the price. In this case that would mean setting a buy order with $750 at the price of $0.462.

Now, the point is I don't care how long it takes to trigger or even if it ever triggers at all. And this is the part where you understand the stress-free attitude of applying this strategy. You're not hung up on day-to-day movements. You know your sell targets and buy targets ahead of time. And in the event of an unexpected crash like we recently experienced where all hell broke loose, you've got balances of BTC and LTC to buy into the alt-coins near or around their future new-bottom prices.

Ok. So now you are beginning to see how effective this strategy can be for selling without emotion at certain predetermined prices, scoring some permanent storage BTC and LTC, and then setting a buy order for half the price you sold at in order to, in the future when the market inevitably corrects and bottoms out again months from now, your buy orders for what at the time may seem like ridiculously low prices that could "never occur again" will trigger, and you'll have bought back almost if not more than as many tokens as you sold. And this applies to each stage.

So if you can imagine the wave motion of the regular rise and fall of each cryptocurrency you can see how taking 10% at each stage and also setting a buy order for half the price you sold at in each stage on the way up to ATH's for a certain coin allows you to guarantee yourself profits in accumulating BTC and LTC as well as a bullet-proof (or shall I say emotion-proof) strategy for buying back those tokens you sold at very low prices with only 20% the money you took for profit.

State of $DEB market today : February 25th has marked the conclusion of the ICO. Prices ranged from $0.125 -> $0.145 over the course of the sale event. Community I observed to be incredibly positive. Participating in this ICO turned out to be as smooth and positive for me as the Bitquence ICO and Simple Token ICO were in my experience. Admins are extremely responsive and there is a general feeling about Debitum that stands your hair on end in anticipatory excitement of what is to come. I couldn't stop myself investing. I kept contributing more and more to it! There are currently over 14,600 members now composing Debitum's telegram community. The upside to this coin is exceptional; it's the coin that is the exception to the rule. I will be holding this coin tightly in significant balance past double figures which I think it could reach this year and maybe even triple digits the next. Remember I am nobody and my estimations are puffs of smoke.

Debitum will be listed on exchanges the day after conclusion of sale which is February 26th. There is undeniable talk of major exchange listing come the middle of March 2018. I have no doubts whatsoever that we as investors are in good hands when it comes to getting launched on the right exchanges. Patience is very key.

In this exclusive interview, Mr. Lecomte shares his insights into the crypto mining, explaining industry’s key aspects and hidden pitfalls.Today’s growing need for more sophisticated and advanced technologies triggers steady surge in innovations and inventions. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have proved to be ones of the most promising and competitive industries today, providing a wealth of opportunities for literally all the spheres.Both are walking hand in hand with mining, which attracts ever growing number of cryptoethusiasts and newcomers hoping to ride the wave and make some money. Coinspeaker reached Claude  Lecomte, CEO at MinerGate multicurrency mining pool, to find out more about sphere’s pitfalls and discover his expert insights into the mining activity.Coinspeaker: “Please tell us a few words about your business. What is your core service?”Claude Lecomte: “You will be surprised – the core service of MinerGate is cryptocurrency mining. We support 4 major mining algorithms, including Ethash, Equihash, CryptoNight & Scrypt. Currently we host 11 mining pools for every supported coin and a merged mining pool designed especially for CryptoNight ASICs.”Coinspeaker: “How did you come up with the idea to provide this service? How quickly did you manage to deliver on that idea?”Claude Lecomte: “Let me start from the very beginning. I was born in a penurious family in a small French town. Since my childhood, I have been interested in engineering and technologies. Not like the young Sheldon, but I’ve always had a reputation of a geek. My schoolmates were nothing like me, and it wasn’t always easy to get on with them. That’s why now I’m a bit crazy about privacy and anonymity.I had a best friend, Nicolas. Nicolas and I spent all the time after school in his dad’s garage, where we were continually inventing and constructing something. Once we built a rocket, but we didn’t have anything to fuel it, so we stole kerosene from the neighbor. Finally, we almost burnt the garage but launched this goddamn thing.I was 15 when I’d got my first computer. The first thing I did – I took it to pieces to understand how does it work. Since then, I steadily improved it, adding different hardware pieces and remastering circuit boards to increase the computer’s capacities.I think I found out about crypto in the middle of 2010. I was impressed by perspectives of blockchain technology and even spent a buck or two to buy several dozens of Bitcoins. I started mining solo, just because I wanted to feel that I’m helping the blockchain movement.An idea to run a mining pool came to me in 2013 after I bought my first ASIC. I understood that many enthusiasts are interested in mining but don’t want to bother with technical issues. Nicolas and I started a pool for these crypto neophytes. As you can see, a simple idea developed into a big business with over 3,5M miners, 24/7 customer support and a wonderful community.”Coinspeaker: “What is your market share and how much time did it take you to achieve such results?”Claude Lecomte: “By many criteria, MinerGate ranks among the top 10 worldwide. The answer about the share is too complicated since the percentages differ for different currencies. It is enough for us to know that we have more coverage than most of the competitors. That’s all I can say about that.”Coinspeaker: “How strong is your investment support? Is there any fear among investors when it comes to entering the sphere?”Claude Lecomte: “We are a private company and do not attract third-party investments. We had always relied only on ourselves, from the day when Nicolas and I were sitting in our garage and thinking over the idea of our own pool. For all investors who are afraid to invest in the crypto, I can only say: it is okay to be cautious.I’m sure that deep inside, even Neil Armstrong was scared to death to fly to the moon. He succeeded (I’m almost certain)! Crypto business is also for the braves, guys.”Coinspeaker: “Let’s turn to mining. Is it profitable?”Claude Lecomte: “It depends on many factors. Let’s be honest – if you are mining solo somewhere in Western Europe, then probably mining is not the kind of business that you would do. However, take a look at Georgia, for example. Small private hydroelectric station plus a developed IT sector, and you are on your way to success. Now in Georgia, mining hotels are opening up one after another, because it is profitable. So yes, mining is profitable, you just have to know the ins and outs.”Coinspeaker: “Are you personally engaged in mining? If so, what currencies do you prefer to mine?”Claude Lecomte: “I started my miner’s journey with Bitcoin mining, but then turned to XMR and continue to mine it until now. I personally participate in all testing of our pools. I want to be sure of the quality of the services that MinerGate provides to its users.I have a relatively small private rig at home, I’ve put it together by myself. It doesn’t seriously profit me, but, just as five years ago, I’m proud to contribute to the development of the industry. I will keep on mining till the end just to be sure that if St. Peter at the heaven gates asks me: “What have you done for the development of the blockchain?”, I would answer – everything I could!”Coinspeaker: “Some people believe that PoW (Proof-of-Work) mining has certain advantages over PoS (Proof-of-Stake) one. Do you share this point of view?”Claude Lecomte: “Well, ask me about Batman and Superman. Each of PoW and PoS has advantages over the other. PoW requires more power and your equipment can be burnt but is way more democratic. PoS can be more effective but calls for major investments first. As a person with left-wing leanings, I personally prefer PoW.”Coinspeaker: “Let’s move to 51% attack. How the community should feel about the fact that several mining pools can co-exercise such an attack?”Claude Lecomte: “In my opinion, there is no sense in speaking about a 51% attack per se. It really depends on coin and blockchain. However, even if there is such hypothetical possibility, I don’t think that there is a real danger at the moment. It requires just too much money and communication efforts.The problem with a possibility of several greedy majors ganging up on everyone else is much more hypothetical than the problem of bugs in the blockchains. We all saw what recently happened with Bitcoin Core and XMR.”Coinspeaker: “Let’s imagine: a crypto newcomer wants to start mining. How would he start? What would he read?”Claude Lecomte: “That newbie miner can start with signing up at MinerGate. Ok, jokes aside, at least reading our blog is an excellent idea. There is much basic info about mining, new technologies, and updates, coins, perspectives of the cryptomarket. I think that reading CoinSpeaker on regular base will also help newcomers to stay tuned. I read you in Telegram. It is very handy.Also, there are plenty of online forums and discussions about practically every segment of crypto knowledge, and you’d better learn from the mistakes of others, right?Everything else depends only on financial capacity. I know a millionaire, who bought Bitcoin in the early days, didn’t spend it on pizza, forgot about it and then found out that it had a surged in value over these years. So I was invited to his mansion to the dinner, and we talked about commercial possibilities of mining and crypto. Next day he called me to say that he had already ordered 50 or 60 ASICs, emptied the swimming pool at the backyard and was ready to start mining as if there was no tomorrow. Newbies, eh…”Coinspeaker: “In your opinion, what mistakes should the novice miners avoid?”Claude Lecomte: “I think the most common mistake is taking loans for buying expensive equipment. Mining technology is developing so fast that sometimes the equipment turns out of date not even leaving the factory. A sudden fork, a slump of mined coins’ value – no one is immune against such things. So, don’t loan money. I can say that we started MinerGate having only 1000 Euro for a budget. Who dares, wins.”Coinspeaker: “In your opinion, what devices are best used for mining today?”Claude Lecomte: “I believe that the best equipment for mining isn’t yet invented, it is waiting for us somewhere there, in the future. From what you can find at the market now I like CryptoNight ASICs. In my opinion, they are seriously underestimated, but we put considerable efforts to make this technology in-demand. For example, we launched MinerGate Pro, that allows merged mining for these ASICs.”Coinspeaker: “Let’s speak a little bit about cryptocurrency market. What do you think is happening to it? Do you think the market stabilizes or stagnates instead?”Claude Lecomte: “The best way to make a complete idiot of yourself is to predict the Bitcoin’s rate. Sometimes, the things you consider pure fiction get real the next day and affect cryptomarket in the most unpredictable way. Sure enough, the market will grow and develop, but we never know what will happen to Bitcoin and main altcoins in the future.”Coinspeaker: “What cryptos would you prefer to hold on the long-term basis?”Claude Lecomte: “It is hard to choose, really. I think my favorite is Monero. However, to be honest, I don’t keep all my savings in one currency. A few BTC here, a few ETH there, bits of this and that.”Coinspeaker: “What do you think about Bitmain’s filing for an IPO?”Claude Lecomte: “Good for them, I sincerely wish them the best of luck. Bitmain is a product company with a significant number of hard assets. They have the product to show to non-crypto investors. I hope that one day, we will also grow to catch up with them, but now we congratulate the colleagues.”Coinspeaker: “Anything else you would like to add for our readers?”Claude Lecomte: “I’m convinced that crypto is a synonym for future. When I was a child, I used to dream about our destiny filled with skyscrapers, flying machines, expeditions to Mars. In my dreams, such future was in the people’s hands, not under anybody’s control.In my opinion, developing blockchain technologies is what lets you build the future. And mining is the glue that makes it stick together. Satoshi is a genius who created the first decentralized financial system and look – it works, and it works because of the ones like us. If we keep doing our job, we will build something unique and valuable, essential for everyone, and I believe in it!So – follow the dreams and never give up – you are not alone!”We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

For nearly two years I traveled around the world and wrote about the subcultures of blockchain – from Bali to Budapest, from Serbia to Switzerland. I planned to continue the journey. I imagined I’d be traveling to far-flung places this summer, reporting on global blockchain projects for CoinDesk. Then came COVID-19. Since the word “travel” is now a glum anachronism – maybe our grandkids will be able to experience this thing they call “travel” – like everyone else I’m holed up in an apartment, staring at screens. But I was curious. How is the global crypto community, or at least the community that I know, handling the pandemic? How has the coronavirus impacted their daily lives, their projects, their outlook on blockchain? So I checked in with a few of my old crypto friends to get a bit of a pulse.  Of course, this is not meant to be an exhaustive, scientific survey of global themes – (good luck with that) – but it does give a window into some voices that are rarely heard, and a glimpse of everyday life from the wider blockchain world. A few themes emerge. The biggest: In many ways blockchain projects are faring better during CV19, and are more optimistic, than the non-blockchain world. Many people in the space are simply wired for this kind of thing. “Crypto has a bunch of semi-Asperger-ey people,” said one blockchain entrepreneur. “They’re loving this. They’re loving the excuse to not leave the house.” Or to be more charitable, the blockchain space is a mix of idealists, dreamers, builders, risk takers and many who were already expecting the collapse of civilization. Blockchain has already survived scare after scare, crash after crash. So who’s afraid of a global pandemic?  When I first met Barnabás Debreczeni at a Hungarian blockchain conference in the summer of 2018, he told me that his journey to crypto. When he and his buddies prepared for a “zombie invasion” – he uses the word zombie, jokingly, as shorthand for any kind of apocalyptic event – they realized that if civilization broke down, they would need some kind of peer-to-peer form of currency, and that led them to bitcoin.  Now, Debreczeni seems prophetic: The zombies have arrived in the form of COVID-19. Debreczeni is tall, trim, wears long hair in a ponytail, and runs a Bitcoin exchange and ATM company called. In our Zoom call, he tells me he closely followed the virus as early as January, and in February he stockpiled food, sanitizer, gas and a generator. “I got myself a katana,” he says with a smile, “So I can fight inside the building.” In February, people said he was crazy. In March, they begged him for sugar and flour. At the Budapest blockchain conference, many in the space told me their interest was driven, in part, by concerns over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s anti-democratic regime. “Crypto gives power to the people,” one Hungarian blockchain entrepreneur told me then. “Orbán said that he wants to lead Hungary towards an illiberal democracy. That includes non-transparent management of funds, or funds that are not being used properly. Bitcoin has the potential to bring some transparency to this.” Crypto has a bunch of semi-Asperger-ey people,” said one blockchain entrepreneur. “They’re loving this. They’re loving the excuse to not leave the house. COVID-19 seems to have heightened those concerns, as Orbán has leveraged the emergency to. “There’s no Parliament, no voting, it’s the rule of the dictator,” says Debreczeni. As for the day-to-day impact? Happily, it’s less dystopian sci-fi than you might imagine. Debreczeni explains that the Hungarian army and police are “on the streets, but they’re friendly,” and you can still go to the grocery store and still walk your dog. They even find some humor in the lockdown. Debreczeni’s crypto buddies were amused by an official video from Orbán’s dictator government, which attempted to show that they’re in control. “It looks like a scene from a shitty action movie,” says Debreczeni. (He’s not wrong. The video is only 54 seconds and .)  The blockchain community in Hungary takes the lockdown seriously, explains Debreczeni, and still conducts their meet-ups over Zoom, with drinks, at what they call the Zoom Pub. In fact he’s running late for a Zoom Pub right now – it’s 6 p.m. Budapest time – and he’s happily drinking a Hungarian “cherry beer” that was brewed in a wine casket. The pandemic’s impact on the business? The lockdown has forced Mr. Coin’s bitcoin ATMs out of commission, but that drop has been more than offset, says Debreczeni, by an uptick from people buying crypto on the online exchange. He was surprised by a new pattern in the buying and selling. Typically when the price of bitcoin plunges, he sees institutional investors swoop in to BTFD. But soon after the price drop on March 12, (when bitcoin fell to $3,867), he saw an influx from mom and pop investors. “That’s never happened before,” says Debreczeni. His theory: They’re buying cryptocurrencies less as a speculative asset and more for its utility. “Now we’re back to the original value proposition of bitcoin,” reasons Debreczeni. “Of free and fair and transparency, decentralized form of money, that people can accumulate to hedge against political and economic risk.”  Debreczeni acknowledges these are just anecdotal observations from what he has seen in Budapest, but suspects people are now turning to crypto in their time of need. “As the days and weeks pass, we will get into a more serious economic downturn, with probable bank closures, capital controls, and withdrawal limits on ATMs. So they try to run out ahead and cash out into crypto,” he says. “They can store it for free, transfer it for free and have full control over it.”   Maybe they can even use it to stop the zombies. You might remember Jeremy Gardner as the face of the “crypto castle,” infamously profiled by The New York Times in January 2018, at the frothy peak of bitcoin price speculation, in a piece called “.” Last year I , a co-founder of prediction market Augur – and – when he launched a second crypto castle in Miami. So how is this one-time poster boy of Cryptomania handling the pandemic?  The short version: He’s winning and the rest of us are losing. “If I’m going to have to social-distance, I sure as [hell] don’t want to do this in the house for the next two months,” Gardner tells me over the phone from somewhere in the desert. Gardner rented an RV and is driving across the country on an extended, leisurely, socially distanced tour. Along with his friend, a fashion model (of course), Gardner has romped through empty sand dunes, state and national parks, and deserted landmarks like the Alamo. “We’ve been going to all the world’s largest things,” he says. The world’s largest petrified tree, the world’s largest pecan, the world’s largest rocking chair, the world’s largest cowboy boots.  Like most entrepreneurs I spoke with, Gardner is even more bullish on blockchain during the pandemic. “Honestly, it’s never been more relevant in the wake of COVID-19,” he says from his RV, now parked on the side of the road. “Blockchain never shuts down.” He elaborates that it “cuts out the middleman,” such as the banking systems and governments.  As more and more systems teeter on the brink of collapse, this logic goes, blockchain will emerge as a sturdier alternative. “There are so many central points of failure in so many businesses,” says Gardner. “This industry is going to come out stronger than it was before coronavirus.”  Unlike Liberland’s President Jedlicka (below), Gardner doesn’t see any tension between libertarianism and quasi-forced social distancing. “The most important piece of libertarianism is respecting others’ autonomy,” he says. “The most anti-libertarian thing you can do is to potentially violate someone else’s health. You have to respect people’s right to life.”  This industry is going to come out stronger than it was before coronavirus. Soon Gardner will reach LA where, in addition to running a blockchain venture capital fund (, which is now backing a coronavirus prediction market), he’s soon launching a men’s skin care brand – presumably not on the blockchain. This trip is a chance to clear his head, recharge, reboot.  His takeaway from this sojourn through the American heartland? Appreciate the quiet and stillness of life. “Even if you’re in a big city, you can actually find moments of silence,” he says. “If we can somehow move back to more of that slower, quieter mode of existence, humanity would be so much better off.”  It started here early. On March 7, in the city of Valencia, which is about a two-hour drive from Caracas, Ernesto Contreras went to a pizza joint for dinner and beers with his friends. At 10 p.m. the police showed up and immediately the restaurant closed its doors to new customers. This was the last time Contreras went out to dinner – the Venezuelan government shut the country down.  “The government was very swift,” says Contreras, who heads a team at that promotes the merchant adoption of cryptocurrency. “Venezuelans understand that the country has infrastructure problems, and they immediately quarantined the country.” He explains that almost everything was shut down right away, that you are required to wear masks before entering a supermarket and that the lockdown is “friendly, but enforced.”  There are two Venezuelas, explains Contreras: the world of those who are better off, and then the world of those living in the slums. In the first world, as he sees it, “The really rich people are staying at their big houses and having a barbecue.” They’re doing just fine. They’re social distancing like champs. Contreras says that in the second world, the slums, many don’t have the luxury of social distancing as they continue to work in crowded street markets – but even they are wearing masks. “People are begging in the streets, looking for food in the garbage but, strangely enough, they’re wearing masks to cover themselves,” he says. Much has changed since I spoke with Contreras in 2018. “Venezuela changes very rapidly,” he says. “When you come back to Venezuela after a year, you will see a totally different country than the one you saw last time.” In 2018 and 2019, the country faced hyper-inflation to the tune of 1 million percent per year. The price of milk would double or triple every week. This is why the DASH team made an aggressive play for local merchant adoption (it says it eventually signed 800 merchants), as here cryptocurrencies could truly matter. In Venezuela, crypto wasn’t just a principled statement against centralized banking. In Venezuela, crypto wasn’t just a novelty or an experiment. Cryptocurrencies were a way – sometimes the only way – for an ordinary person to buy bread. (I covered it .) The situation has somewhat improved. The Venezuelan government now permits U.S. dollars and they’re widely accepted. “Yet, payment is still difficult,” says Contreras. Physical notes of cash are scarce. Bolivars are still nearly worthless. Contrerars explains the largest bolivar note is 50,000, and last week (as of April 24), one soft drink could cost 140,000. “Imagine if you needed three $100 bills to pay for one drink?” Even if you can pay for a lunch with a $20 U.S. bill, often the merchant won’t have change, so you’re forced to round up or buy things you don’t really want. The solution is there. The technology is there. And people are starting to use it. Then there’s the lack of online infrastructure. Think about how so many U.S. citizens, especially in larger cities, handle the day-to-day inconveniences of COVID-19: They order things on Amazon, they order dinner from Uber Eats. There’s no Amazon in Venezuela. There’s no Uber Eats in Venezuela. So Contrerars says cryptocurrency is helping to fill the gap, as local businesses are using WhatsApp to organize local deliveries. “You talk to the supermarket by WhatsApp, and they’ll figure out what you want and then deliver it,” he says, explaining that his DASH team is working on helping local businesses use crypto to facilitate those transactions. There are 60,000 active DASH wallets in Venezuela, according to Contrerars, and the company has partnerships with Burger King and Church’s Chicken. Cryptocurrency can now be used to buy medicine and then have it delivered to you during quarantine. “The solution is there,” says Contrerars. “The technology is there. And people are starting to use it.” Contrerars, like nearly everyone I spoke with, is a refreshing reminder of the wider world, of the opportunities, of the hopes and the guts and the weirdness. I miss it. I don’t know when I’ll next be able to hop on a flight and explore another corner of the blockchain space, but I know it’ll be there waiting. Last year in Zug, Switzerland, in something of a homage to the land that birthed Ethereum. Over dinner and far too many bottles of wine, the co-founder of , Ralf Glabischnig, described how blockchain is especially well-suited to the Swiss, as their government operates as a kind of decentralized consensus. There are two words in Swiss German, Auslegeordnung and Vernehmlassung, that do not even exist in German or any other language. “Auslegeordnung means that you put all the facts on the table, and you discuss them with all of the players on the network,” Glabischnig told me then. “Vernehmlassung means you ask them if they’re fine with it.” So how is Glabischnig and the Swiss blockchain community holding up now? “On a panic level from 0 to 10, where 10 is the highest, at the beginning we were probably at 5, and now we’re down to 1,” says Glabischnig in his gentle, soothing voice. “It’s quite relaxed in Switzerland, and the numbers are massively down. We’re past the curve.”   Glabischnig guesses 95 percent of the Swiss population is working from home but he’s part of the 5 percent still going into the office – in his case the nearly empty CV Labs, a five-story blockchain office and coworking space that has meeting rooms labeled “Moon” and “Whale,” a life-sized statue of a unicorn because obviously and a whiteboard that invites crypto-folk to scribble their #MyWishFortheFuture. (On the board: “1 million dogecoin!” “#WhenImpact?” “When Lambo!” “AI meets blockchain & take the world.” and “ETC 4 EVA.”) Back then the meet-up scene was booming, as CV Labs hosted weekly “Wine and Vision” events. And now? “Zero now, absolutely zero,” says Glabischnig. Many tenants of the CV Labs have canceled their contracts. Gatherings of more than five people are forbidden in Zug and Zurich, although in what might be a low-key bit of rebellion, Glabischnig and his blockchain friends still gather for the occasional drink at the House of Wine, where he insists “we try to keep the social distancing.” His team had planned to open up a branch of the CV Labs in Dubai in July, but that idea is scotched. He’s still hoping for a September launch. To get a sense of how Covid19 is impacting the industry, CV Labs took a survey of 50 management leaders from Switzerland, which Glabischnig says “represents more than $20 billion in the blockchain space.”  Some takeaways: 73 percent said their business was impacted by COVID-19, 63 percent said it caused a loss of business opportunities and 72 percent said it caused an adjustment to their budgets. Also, 42 percent applied for a federal loan, 58 percent did not. In what you can frame as either glass half empty or half full, nearly half (45 percent) said they had enough runway for more than a year. Only 8 percent planned a reduction in their staff. The survey respondents noted some positive impacts of the pandemic: more efficient one-on-one meetings, a trimming of excess costs and a chance to revise projects and priorities.  Most of the blockchain companies, at the moment, make no revenue. So they’re not losing any revenue. Echoing what I’ve heard from many others, Glabischnig thinks most blockchain projects, in general, are faring better during COVID-19 than the rest of the world. He ticks off three reasons: 1) “Blockchain is a digital business, and the companies that are not digital have the biggest issue.”  2) Decentralized organizations, almost by definition, tend to have teams that are geographically decentralized. Remote work is practically a first principle and, of course, they speak via Telegram and video chats.  3) Perhaps most importantly: “Most of the blockchain companies, at the moment, make no revenue,” Glabischnig says with a chuckle. “So they’re not losing any revenue.” Restaurants need to sell food. Newspapers need to sell ads. Many blockchain companies simply need to…well, to nurse their ICO-backed coffers. You can’t lose what you don’t have. This was supposed to be a big day for the nation of , that blockchain-powered utopia of libertarianism. March 31 marked the fifth anniversary of the nation’s founding, and Liberland’s President, Vit Jedlicka, had planned a two-day celebration. For the uninitiated: Five years ago, Jedlicka (who is based in the Czech Republic) found a tiny island – about the size of New York’s Harlem neighborhood – that sits on the disputed borders of Croatia and Serbia, and claimed this as a sovereign nation that would be run according to the principles of libertarianism.  The nation has a written constitution and 610,000 residents, or e-residents. (I wrote about it .) It’s still impossible for most to settle on the island itself, but for the anniversary Liberlanders had planned to celebrate on the waters that border the island, partying on large boats. Instead, they held a virtual conference in their “virtual embassy,” headlined by a speech from Liberland-enthusiast Ron Paul.  Other than COVID-19 scrapping the live party, it seems they haven’t missed a beat. “We’re already decentralized,” says President Jedlicka, almost cheerfully. “Coronavirus only adds to our efficiency.” Jedlicka has a short-cropped beard and red T-shirt and he smiles through the private video-conferencing app (Liberland doesn’t use Zoom for privacy concerns).  An example of this newfound efficiency: Normally he would fly from Prague to London to meet with the “” blockchain team. But once they had to scrap the trip, they realized it wasn’t necessary in the first place. “Now I do the similar amount of work in two or three hours online,” says Jedlicka. I was curious – even fascinated – by how Liberland would respond to a crisis like COVID-19. Their core principle is that the government should do as little as possible, and potentially not even exist. Most people across the political spectrum, however, agree that crises are precisely the times when governments are needed the most. Governments have the power (in theory) to prevent foreclosures, to backstop loans, to send people emergency checks. Governments can enforce social distancing. Flatten the curve. Save lives. Yet, government intrusion is anathema to libertarians, so how does Jedlicka square this? Is forced social distancing ethical? Right or wrong? I ask him this question.  There’s a long pause.  My assumption is that you will see much more death caused by the government, rather [than] by a virus, which is crazy. “Let me just answer from a completely different angle,” says the President. He then describes, instead, a hypothetical world where we had “much more freedom for the past 20 years,” or what he calls an “anarcho-capitalist society.” In this world, says Jedlicka, everyone would be driving their Teslas, “which would be completely filtered and ventilated,” everyone would have modern respirators they could use for jogging and the community would be “super-fast to respond” to the crisis. “In the system that we have right now,” Jedlicka argues, “we’re fighting over the supplies from China.”  “What kind of help does the government provide to people? Zero,” says Jedlicka, with a touch of scorn. “It just gives them a hard time, gives them bureaucracy and makes the people poorer.” He cites the failure of many governments to provide adequate amounts of respirators.  This does not mean Liberland is putting its collective head in the sand, embracing an attitude of Let people fend for themselves. It has done the opposite. Jedlicka says that unlike the clunky governments, a Liberlander (through the Czech company ) managed to quickly send 600 protective shields to Croatian civil protection, as well as deliver N95 respirators to hospitals in the United States, and are working to get medical aid to Serbia and Haiti. “And not these toy-like ventilators, but actual professional ventilators that can actually be used in the hospitals.”  Jedlicka, like many in the U.S., is frustrated with what he sees as overreaching government action that chokes the economy. “My assumption is that you will see much more death caused by the government, rather by a virus, which is crazy,” says Jedlicka. “I believe this is actually a great example that even in the places where people are strong believers in the necessity of government intrusion, this particular event proves them wrong.”  My came in Bali, which, back in January 2018, had a frisky blockchain ecosystem. In Ubud, which is the spiritual (and tourist) center of Bali, you could stumble into crypto traders, crypto start-ups and crypto meet-ups galore. It seemed that crypto was everywhere. Just before it opened for business I visited the snazzy “,” a high-end consultancy and coworking space, meeting with owner Roberto Capodieci. The Blockchain Zoo still exists, but Capodieci tells me that the meet-up scene has all but vanished, and that happened long before COVID-19. The Indonesian government, enforcing a law meant to protect the local rupiah, cracked down on businesses that accepted cryptocurrencies. “Two years ago I could pay for breakfast with bitcoin,” says Capodieci. “Now you can only use rupiah. That killed a lot of initiatives,” (The price of bitcoin slumping to $3K in 2019, of course, also killed a lot of initiatives.)  Capodieci, who has OG crypto cred – he says he received a test copy of the original bitcoin node software program – and who taught crypto courses at the University of Singapore, is a large man who wears a light beard and a Donkey Kong T-shirt. In the Zoom video he suddenly blanches, then swats his hand at something. “A mosquito just decided to die in my mouth!” He says, laughing. “And I’m not even riding a motorcycle.” (Everyone drives a moped or motorcycle in Bali, even wimps like me.) There are now fewer mopeds in Ubud. The roads are mostly empty. The borders are closed. The tourists are gone. The few people on the streets do wear masks, says Capodieci, “And the police will stop you if you don’t have one, and give you a mask.”  Meanwhile the Blockchain Zoo has pivoted to launching their own platform, , which uses a Proof of Stake protocol. Capodieci says his team of 25 developers can easily work remotely, and they’re working on a beta version of ZooBC (the alpha launched in November).  COVID-19’s impact on their efforts? The way Capodieci sees things, the pandemic is almost a positive. The downside is he had hoped to be in Dubai and Singapore to meet with potential clients and investors. However, the upside, he says, is everyone seems extra-focused from home. And they’re using the time to add more functionality into beta, which is one of the benefits cited by that survey from Switzerland’s CV Labs.  Capodieci’s tone is almost chipper. “This thing is going to change the way people work. I love it,” he says. “The longer it lasts, the better it is.” He quickly clarifies he has sympathy for the local businesses, like hotels and restaurants, that are suffering. But he can compartmentalize. Focus on the silver lining. If COVID-19 has nudged companies to give workers a choice between at-home or in-office, he sees that as a win. “You should be working at a place you love to go to,” he says, “because that’s where you’re spending most of your life.” Gardner’s not the only one who views CV19 as an acceptable time – maybe the perfect time – to unleash the potential of blockchain. Take Daniel Dabek, who happens to be Liberland’s ambassador to Serbia. Dabek describes his Serbia-based blockchain project, , as a kind of “Amazon on the blockchain.” I visited SafeX headquarters in Belgrade in 2018 and I wasn’t even sure if SafeX still existed.  Dabek assures me it still does, and it plans to publicly launch an early version of its decentralized marketplace this summer, COVID-19 or no. In a now-familiar refrain, Dabek says the blockchain space is well equipped for this kind of remote work. “We’re already used to this recluse-kind of paradigm,” he says, laughing a bit. “In all sincerity, we’ve had very little or no interruption to the software development side of things.”  In a way he’s happy about the timing. Dabek argues that a frictionless, person-to-person marketplace is just what we need. “It’s not illegal to sell an N95 mask, but Amazon snapped their fingers and you can’t do it anymore,” says Dabek. “That means normal people can’t get those things.” With a decentralized and blockchain-powered marketplace, he says, the average person is better off. (Note: We spoke on April 13, soon after Amazon to the consumers because it prioritized these scarce goods for hospitals. Is this sensible regulation to protect health care workers, or a slap in the face to the free market? Yet, another fascinating question from the blockchain space.) Dabek tries to keep a longer-lens perspective. “If you look at the cryptocurrency ecosystem, we’re in a perpetual recession every two years,” he reasons. “You’re going against the tide every day or night.” So the quarantine is no different. “Crypto will rise above all of this over the next 18 months or two years.”

McAfee Doesn’t Play By The Rules (And Neither Should You) Spencer Kellogg on December 26, 2017 My dad called me on the phone with a staccato anxiety in his voice: “Do you think I should buy Verge?” – “No, Dad, don’t buy Verge.” He didn’t. You see my father lives on the outskirts of the crypto realm, holding big caps and sprinkling on projects he likes (shoutout $SALT & $OMG). He is not on twitter 24/7 watching in horror as the red-blooded madness unfolds through equally manic fits of delight and terror. He did not know that it was McAfee’s tweet about Verge that sent the coin parabolic and headed on a moon mission without a jetpack. As of this post, Verge is down almost 40% on the day and many in the crypto community are venting their frustration with McAfee in the form of outright condemnation. In a whirlwind of speculation, this past week alone, McAfee has used his Twitter to “highlight” such coins as Electroneum (ETN), Burst (BURST), Reddcoin (RDD), Digibyte (DGB) and today Humaniq (HMQ). While he has every right to his free speech and to discuss what he does and doesn’t like about certain technology on the blockchain, it’s apparent that his opinions on any particular currency carry substantial weight and can cause massive swings in market cap and user consensus. With rumors circulating that McAfee will promote any coin if someone is willing to pay him a fee, many are beginning to question the ethics of a man who simply refuses to be questioned. Should McAfee know better? Is it a bad look for the entire community if one person is directing pump and dumps with the single click of a button? Does it even matter? Many in the community were floored and excited when they saw the effect of McAfee’s power as he sent Verge flying to heights unseen through a single tweet. Traders spent the next week refreshing Twitter waiting for an update from the cyberpunk guru so they could jump on the next McAfee rocket while others were legitimately concerned and infuriated by the juvenile nature of our unregulated market. This isn’t the first time and this won’t be the last time that an influential market maker sends a coin flying (or dumping) through their opinion alone. With little real adoption to point to, much of cryptocurrency’s life cycle has been predicated on hype and hype alone. Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has come under both criticism and adoration for his use of language on Twitter when describing his project with many investors and traders unashamedly begging for Lee to promote good news (even if there might not be any at all). One of the reasons I consider Lee a philosophical leader in the space is because of how he has handled this particular situation. Lee has refused to propagandize his coin’s progress and as such has gained much respect in the greater community while providing a stable market cap for his currency. When Lee sold his stack of Litecoin last week and warned investors about both his influence on the coin’s price and the high risk of collapse from an inflated market, he was met with disdain. Roger Ver can also be accused of similar tactics with his tweets regarding the debate over Bitcoin and his support for the forked Bitcoin Cash. Of course, opinions and coordinated pumping are two very different things… Much of this leaves me wondering about the rules and decorum of this space. Should there be any at all? Why are any of these men, who stuck their necks on the line to lead into a territory of global economic resistance, expected to act within the pragmatic parameters of their fathers stock market? What do they owe to anyone? Perhaps McAfee owes more than he thinks. Some of the shrewder philosophers in the space pointed out that this type of bonanza market leads to FEDS pounding down doors. With greater extravagance comes greater heat from the boys in the blue. Others have pointed to the heavy disruption in flow that a pump without cause can create in the market with many new investors throwing cash at pumped projects only to lose big in the proceeding days and weeks. This does not help create stability in the market and keep investors around for the long haul. This can also create a stain on a coin as much of the market today is built strictly on publicity. Manufactured pumps also lend credence to the skepticism of the global banking elite who believe this a flash in the pan. Serial doubters like JP Morgan head Jamie Dimon can use this as evidence how bare and thin the market really is when it comes to use cause and adoption. Personally, I like McAfee and his pumps. We are witnessing a once in a lifetime wealth creation that can literally change a person’s life in the span of a few days. Although my brain and portfolio have been tied down in other markets, I wouldn’t feel the least bit guilty about hopping onto one of McAfee’s pumps. McAfee is and will always remain a legend and a pioneer who set the pace while others looked cautiously at the road ahead. His speech at the 2016 Libertarian Convention remains one of the most prolific essays on freedom and liberty wrote by a presidential candidate. The FEDS are going to come no matter what we do. Everyone doubted us anyways. They can keep doubting. This isn’t their market, it’s ours. Fuck them all. Vote McAfee, Based God.
