Water Purifiers And TVs Are Earning China Consumers Crypto Tokens!

Using the internet of things (IOT) and user data supplied back to the manufacturer - consumers in China can earn tokens on their own usage data. It's not widespread but seems to be only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It's a short read.

Blockchain Water Purifier

===================================================

I've seen reports lately that the staff has been allowed by the police back into the Cryptopia exchange... which had been hacked...and subsequently closed for about a month now... read here about the first Cryptopia Users Demanding Refunds ...and..nothing is certain... always be careful where your funds are as low volume exchanges and coins are vulnerable.

So...how much do you know about the legendary developer of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto? Here's a longer essay covering some of the very people who have been stated to be him. Is it Craig Wright? Or someone else? It's time for the real Satoshi To Stand Up. It's like the old 1960's show To Tell The Truth.

Trading Update

Still holding PolyMath...in fact...I bought a bit more on Valentines Day at .00002404

2019-02-14 07:06:57 Buy 0.00002404 422.17595674 0.01014911

Remember on 2-3-2019 I bought about .02btc worth at .00002741

It's selling for .00002494 this morning. Still down...but this low volume coin is DUE. Remember, you can see the PolyMath Webpage on Page Two of this website, or simply page down the page to a previous posting. Below is their positioning statement - yes..big time stuff when actualized.

"Polymath enables trillions of dollars of securities to migrate to the blockchain."

-------

You may have noticed that Poloniex has added a new coin called GRIN - and I indeed, after going to the GRIN Webpage, decided that I'd swap my 8 or so Factom for some 10 GRIN. The coin has a unique positioning...no specific developers... a worldwide joint effort... no premine....the mimblewimble blockchain - and Polo intends to REFUND part of the transactions fees for this coin for its development.... worth checking out when priced at under 5 dollars a coin and with ONLY @ UNDER 3 MILLION COINS ONLY. This one might, long term, leave a GRIN on your face. Easy to say and remember too.

----------------------------

YES... I sold again for a profit the METAL coin over at Bittrex hope you too are following it getting HOT.... payment service companies are well positioned IMO...and yes...I ponied up again after yesterdays burst in volume and price.

Tron's Historic First Airdrop - Now Until..... 2025

Will it be a game changer? Will it be a de-stabilizer? Will folks hold for each airdrop or rotate in and out? Lots to be answered... find out more. Tron's Bittorrent Airdrop. Here's an excerpt
This dynamic, however, could play out each month. Such movements to and from TRX will make for an interesting ongoing experiment.With its long airdrop plan for BTT, Sun’s Tron has positioned TRX as the proverbial gift that keeps on giving.The total monthly airdrop will increase five times over the next few years, ending at 1,402,500,000 BTT per month in February 2025.
The quick analysis is that folks did rotate out this time a few days BEFORE.... riding the previous runup back to perhaps a buy point.
==============================================

Bull Image

So...it turns out that some analysts are thinking the "stable" price of Bitcoin...may be about to lure Wall Street Back. Might the crypto winter actually end?
==============================================

Trading Update

Still holding Factom and PolyMath - re-set my METAL coin sell and sold...and re-bought today, following the advice from the last post. METAL seems to be gaining volume as it goes up.

That REDD I sold at 35 after buying at 39 - I re-bought yesterday at 34 - that REDD ID seems to finally be around.... I am still holding the THC (Hemp) coin waiting for the 365 satoshis as first sell point (bought for 325ish).

A coin I recently held...had an update this week and is seeing some moves...haven't bought it yet.... CBC... CashBetCoin.

In A First - Facebook Acquires Blockchain Startup

While I've never heard the term before... it's actually called an "acquihire" - hiring the talent...not a product or service - a team that specializes in scaling the blockchain...can it be too much longer before there is a FacebookCoin? (Like Reddit's coin REDD?)

One of the dangers of crypto, of course, is that the coins you have on an exchange are not being properly handled security-wise. In this link....positioned as a way to save your money... is a listing of about 10 exchanges that may be better to avoid.

Exchanges To Avoid

Thankfully, nothing I use is on here.

Trading Update

Bought Factom-Coin at .00174000 on the 3rd...holding with no sell point...at .001760000 this AM.... been in the same range.

-----

Also on the 3rd I bought Polymath-Coin at .00002740 - it's at .00002620 this AM (did trade at 2386-2850 since the 3rd) - my sell is around 3350. Has the bottom been found?

-----

Meanwhile...over at Bittrex

On the 4th I bought a coin called METAL - as you can see below
2019/02/04 06:15:28 2019/02/04 06:15:27 BTC-MTL
BUY

0.00008300 939.91913223 939.91913223 0.00008239 -0.07763786
(so...I bought in at 8300, its at 8,100 this AM)
As always...I suggest researching any coin you invest in as I did.. 
METAL COIN WEBPAGE
Since I bought...its been as low as .00007100 and as high as .00009100 --- so..I could have sold at a 10% up yesterday...probably should have and rebought. But...my sells are all over 10000.

Will NEM - New Economy Movement - Fall To "Crypto Winter"?

Within the past 10 days it's become evident that even the some of the "strongest" Crypto could end up in trouble as far as staying in business. After the ETC attack/deep blockchain reorganization a couple weeks ago - the whole market is edgy - and this NEM news was not helpful. That said... admitting to the real problem and attempting to "re-organize" by laying off employees and focusing on what's productive...should give investors some faith.

NEM Office

Consequently....the Crypto Coin value plunged from 1500 satorshis to under 1200 as of this AM - You can read more about what NEM is doing to adjust to the frigid Crypto Winter in this Coin Desk read.

What I'm Trading/Holding Right Now

FACTOM

2019-02-03 04:10:41 Buy 0.00174000 8.62071264 0.01500003

(brought on Poloniex) 

Factom had that recent run to 500,000 satoshis and seems to be bouncing off a support level around 165-175,000 satoshis. Factom is real crypto - I'd certainly like to see at least a 10% move on this before turning, OR catch another run.

FACTOM

LIVEPEER

I did real well with this coin poised to use crypto to move into the video rhelm.

2019-01-05 13:01:41 Buy 0.00076500 40.32171242 0.03084611

I then sold 30 of the 40 as seen below and the final 10 on Feb 3rd.

2019-02-02 17:12:09 Sell 0.00138008 10.00000000 0.01380080

2019-02-01 20:59:32 Sell 0.00104500 20.28139071 0.02119405

LivePeer sold for about 8 bucks at its introduction...still 4.83 - here's their LivePeer Webpage.

Since LivePeer seems to not be returning to previous levels and is now in the 0.00140000 range.... I will await lower levels again.

------

I am now in another coin on Poloniex - that perhaps you should check out... POLYMATH - A Coin With Big Positionings in the Trillion dollar security market.

2019-02-03 03:47:55 Buy 0.00002741 662.35735811 0.01815521

2019-02-03 03:47:55 Buy 0.00002740 76.80000000 0.00210432

Selling for 9 cents now...it once sold for nearly 1.50..it has an active team and social media here's its webpage

POLYMATH

And...finally...the REDD hasn't worked out and I sold at a loss...big things seem to be eminent over at Reddit Coin...keep a lookout.

SHOCKING - Faulty Airdrop Results In 50.00 Bitcoin

I remember when Cryptsy was going belly up that during one dump trying to get bitcoin out it sold for 90.00 (2015 I think) - but... this plunge is truly epic - and all caused by a Accidental Bitcoin Airdrop at a South Korean crypto exchange. Makes one wonder what would happen if the 1 million Satoshi wallet ever opens.

Here's WHY Bitcoin Is The "Currency" If Nukes Ever Go Off

2018 Oh What A Year In CryptoCurrencies

Not many Bitcoin blogs have been around to have had this same title in 2015 - seems every year is a "oh what a year" - but... 2018 was a doozy. From highs near 20,000 back in the heady days of Dec. 2017 and still holding up high early in 2018 - to the crashing of ALL alternative coins and Bitcoin. Many folks who got in as Bitcoin was increasing daily back in late 2017 - lost nearly all their starting capital.... as Bitcoin went out of favor and the bubble...for now...burst. Will it test its 3000 dollar level again? 

Also, the recent 51% attack on ETH classic - shows the increasing vulnerability of CryptoCurrencies - as it and many others have seen double spends and more. People not in the crypto space are reluctant to move into the blockchain as an investment vehicle and consequently nearly all trading volumes are way way way down. One ETF proposal after another was denied in 2018...but more are coming....and Bitcoin Futures entered the scene in 2018.... seemingly forcing the price down with more and more shorts.

Meanwhile in 2018 - CHINA was big big news.... cracking down on nearly all crypto...from exchanges to miners...other major markets such as India also showed no movement...while a few other countries saw the blockchain and crypto as the coming revolution. Speaking of which...in some countries with huge inflation if not revolution...Bitcoin made a presence of itself....as have Stable value coins in 2018 - and the first state sponsored coins. Ripple also passed ETH in marketcap but the battle is close...Ripple forms the all important bank connections and the IMF looks to crypto to provide possible funding to 3rd world countries and provide a means to determine who is creditworthy in nations without banking for the people.

So...it's all about change...and what's new about that.... nothing at all. So...adapt... be informed and be ready to act. The lower volumes and beaten down market are very responsive to real business news and the pump and dump have returned also to a degree. There is BTC to be made...even fiat. Keep the faith. I do intend to re-start this blog and post what I consider to be important crypto links and mix that up with sharing some of my trades in Crypto... looking forward to 2019.

Here's some recent pertinent links:

Why The Ethereum Classic Hack Is Not Good News For Crypto - call it a reorganized chain or hack...something bad is lurking for many smaller alts for sure.

Has The Bitcoin Price Become Price Bound?  - this analyst calls the price to be 3,000 to 5,000 for months.

Finally, Ripple wants a piece of the global payment system - no kidding....
