It should be >2% chance of happening. Otherwise, it would be breakeven. You can also put it through a kelly criterion to figure out how much you should bet. (Hint: for something that has a 1/100 chance of happening, it’s usually ~1% of your bankroll)

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

I didn't know they named the coin after Ada Lovelace. Is it because it involves writing code for a platform that will never be built?

NEM foundation just announced they have one month left of funding LOL. They spent their ICO funds opening 'blockchain centres' around Asia, and throwing wicked sick parties.

Probably the biggest shitcoin to fail thus far in the bear market (TRON and EOS next?), it had $18B mcap at one point :aaaa:

Right now is a really good time to buy. In the industry we call this "buying the dip" because the market has bottomed out and likely won't go anywhere but up. There's a chance it could fall further but at this point it's negligible.

The creator is a market manipulator and an all around scumbag. Trade it for a good altcoin like IOTA

Hmmm....

6/15/18 IOTA: $1.28

3/4/19 IOTA: $0.27

The 'negligible' downward potential only accounted for about an 80% haircut where can I find more red hot 'industry' opinions like this one?

Heeeeey altcoiners! You totally need to GET INTO DENTACOIN, which has gone up from 0.0035 of a cent to 0.005 of a cent! Yes, that's right, its price has risen above ONE SATOSHI! Opportunities like that don't come along more often than once every ten minutes!

I wrote up the tedious piece of poo poo for my planned "World's Worst ICOs" book, cos i couldn't not cover it. The article sends me, its author, to sleep. Suggestions for jokes etc welcome.

Go in harder on their marketing material, specifically the IDS 2019 site. The prof fronting this thing looks like another likely source of humorous enjoyment.

You must have some pretty poo poo timing considering BTC jumped from around $6k to $8k in the last week or so.

My buddy cleared a long trade last week for 2BTC during the run. Pretty rad.
