If we're fine with price rising while usage data did not increase , then we're kidding ourselves about not being speculative .

Usage data will increase when the right feature-set/market fit is in place...features which need to be developed...development which requires funding.

How you guys can't see the underlying economics fundamental to all this is frankly bewildering to me.

I wonder if the way this forum handles criticism is a reason why this Community has the reputation it has?

Hmmm ... I'll have to ponder that one with some colleagues who no longer come around ... for some reason.

I like hearing criticism; it's good to avoid isolating ourselves and ignoring the outside POV. I just wish more of the criticisms had concrete solutions -- how exactly does a blockchain improve its reputation? A lot of people like to bring up the merger and the whole "rules keep changing" mantra, but from what I've seen the rules have been pretty much solid since the transition to 2.0.

Is there any way to truly win the hearts and minds of the people back? Kind of seems like no matter what happens, as long as the price is low (relatively speaking) you'll always have unhappy investors and those who will nitpick at every little thing looking for the one true "aha! that's why the price is low" answer.

So the solution should be to increase our marketcap. Happy investors = happy community = happy devs = ? ? ? = profit

But which comes first -- happiness, or marketcap? Almost seems like a chicken and egg scenario.

 

Sorry, just rambling ideas. Carry on.

My bull-dar seems to be tingling...

 

At the time it seemed there were people trading based on the opposite of what i said because I had been wrong, so I posted that hoping they would then buy and it would be a bottom.

I did sell about 1/3 of my BTS to get more funds to diversify.  But I hold the majority of it and do not plan to sell them.  I have more BTS now than I did when Bytemaster announced that 2.0 was ready and would be released in 30 days.

I made a lot of BTS margining it that first day and selling it at 2300.  I then lost most of that BTS but not all of it when we dropped from 2800 to 2000.  I had to close my position and take a big loss on that one but didnt get margin called at least, since I closed before it reached that point.

But anyway, my BTS loss is due to buying it in 2014 when it was high and then holding, not as a result of trading it.

But...but...cryptofresh says you only have "4,290 BTS"....

 

Glad to see you still hanging in there Andre. You're gonna be one mighty whale when we reach ETH cap "this summer".

 

Fair weather friends ... how soon you forget!

Holy shit that's awesome Tuck.

Let's hope it comes true. Heh.

Soooo....what are the charts saying now guys?

I know nothing about technical trading, but it looks to be a fairly low volume dump overall, compared to the pump candles going on the other day. Does that mean anything?

Kind of feels like ETH stole our pump, and now we have to pay for their dump, too. Double whammy.

I'd like to think the dumping is primarily people just moving coins to join the ETH bubble...and when it finally tops (tomorrow?) the other alts will have a chance to shine again.

But there's no way to be certain that the accounts sending shares to Polo are in any way dev-related, or that they're actually even selling for that matter...

Did we actually reach 28M marketcap?

if by 'we' you mean did 'BTS' reach 28Mil USD market cap?...no.
I was talking about another crypto player... connected to BTS in more ways than one though...

...which player is that? The closest I see to 28 mil right now are Dash and Doge.

My god, she's unstoppable.
