Question - what would you guys say are the biggest sources of news for crypto? Is Coindesk the main crypto one?

The poloniex troll box was probably the most reliable source. But now that its gone I am not sure I would trust any news source.

Github, maybe slack.

We know some poker player who must be investing hard because the content is ramping up super hard lately. When i look my RSS feed they are releasing alot of articles on a daily basis. And the quality is pretty good so far.

My bet is within 6 months Doug will be one of the most influential crypto news actor on the market.

Its all about writing those articles.
Think of all the money that was made when those Korea articles were released.

Doug is reaching much more than the poker community. I see him more and more mentioned in reddit communities and appart from bitconnect shills its always in a positive way.

Good for him. He could make a killing writing about some of the lower cap coins.

I had all of yours except Ox and Aion and the only one I got rid off was Ripple. I'm bullish on Substratum but for the wrong reasons, which people have pointed out, and I don't feel great about EOS.

I'm pretty heavy into SUB myself, just wondering what you meant by this?

Substratum was bribing youtubers to shill for them, legit products dont need to do that.

I saw they gave Datadash tokens for a review back during or pre ico. Any others? Also he said he's bullish for the wrong reasons. I took that to mean he's bullish for reasons other than better reasons to be bullish.

A ton of streamers started promoting it at the same time he did. It's fairly safe to assume they gave to all of them.
On a side note I'm fairly clueless about technical analysis and may be totally wrong but I felt data dash was unwatchable and give no credibility to those graph analysis bull****.

Well when a new coin hits the scene all the youtubers start picking it up around the same time. Could be they all got tokens for reviews or just that once a big youtuber does a review other follow suit or a coin spikes and now all the viewers are talking about it cuing videos about it. Without evidence I wouldn't assume the worst.

And datadash specifically said he did a review for tokens back during the ico or even pre ico which was August. It seems the others picked it up within the last month or two. Could be wrong.

I kind of get where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure I agree..

A company advertising their product isn’t a red flag that they are doing something shady

What’s wrong with them wanting to raise the profile of the project they are putting all their efforts into?

Agree it’s a bit of a dodgy area when Data Dash is not being upfront about being paid. But from Sub’s point of view targeting a few hundred thousand people who are very likely looking at new crypto options seems like a no brainer?

But that method is an obvious tool to manipulate the price by starting a pump from clueless people that use ****ty youtube channels as investing advices. Not a good look for a long term investment. Probably fine short term if you hop at the start of the pump wave.

Probably worth keeping less than one post’s worth of info to one post, rather than spamming the thread.

Ultimately if it’s a good product I’m fine with it, if it’s not and they know it’s not - then it’s obviously pretty bad!

I think DD should have said from the start he had been given coins , but he admitted his mistake and I don’t think it completely destroys all of his or Sub’s credibility. He could have quite happily kept quiet and saved himself the heat.

Sound like they can prosecute bitconnect participant, and it might even apply to cloud mining if they fit it seem ponziish to them.

RE: ICX

Can someone explain exactly how the additional supply being added will work? I've seen conflicting information. I've seen several people (Jason Mo being one) say that they think ICX will dip 50% after mainnet launch because they are adding so many coins to the supply on the same day, but will eventually rebound. I've seen elsewhere that the supply being released is less than the demand.

Thoughts?

Maybe it's a language/culture barrier thing but there's something about their press releases, videos, that fails to inspire.
They've got an ambitious goal. I want them to succeed for the advancement of blockchain acceptance in general. I thought Japan might be the first nation to fully embrace this tech, but if it's South Korea then so be it. I'm not sure they have the brilliance to solve the likely tech difficulties they're going to come across though, let alone the regulatory obstacles they are going to meet.
We'll see soon enough.

Follow Joseph Young @iamjosephyoung for information on Korea. He is actually there and updating on things like government. Very good source for crypto news in Korea.
