Exactly. All investments are driven heavily by sentiment, and maybe none more so than crypto, because crypto projects tend to have much less real-world use-value atm than equities in other markets. So … if some ppl in the Trollbox tend to be immature or lacking in research/social skills, as an investor I’m not sure why that matters. All info is welcome to serious investors, esp info about sentiment, even if it’s often “wrong” …
Draw has provided a helpful link if you want to zero in on current sentiment trends for a particular crypto: http://www.polonibox.com.
Also, fwiw, I used to condescend “the Box” myself, and then admit I got dragged in. A lot of the opinions are bs of course, but there are actually some really smart people who wander in for whatever reasons. If you can hold your breath through the hype/fud, there are some intelligent, well-intentioned folks there. I spoke for a while last night to a woman who had created an investment fund for her mother, as a thank you, comprised of cryptos (a combination of FCT and MAID, as it turns out).
The one guy I’ve spoken with outside the Trollbox—with the aim of starting a crypto group, long story—happens to have been a disillusioned former Green Beret (yes, I verified …).
As a wiser man than me once said: Don’t let judgment stand in the way of understanding.
That may have been somewhat of a thoughtless way of conveying my impression.
I think it should have read… there is such an overwhelming amount of fud on there that you need to be a genuis to know what to pay attention to… hence I just avoid it apologies if it came across as condescending.
Quite frankly Dallyshalla you stole from your investors. You made a commitment to build on the SAFE ecosystem and I invested based on that promise. Then you changed your commitment. I lost money. I lost money because someone backpedaled on a business arrangement.
You know if I backpedaled on a business arrangement that ended up in loss of property I would be labeled a crook, and would probably end up in jail.
This was captured a few days back, I’ve never seen shenanigans on the sell side like this…15 Million MAID on the sell side (currently 9Mil), goes to show there’s some fair sized chunks that can be moved around to advantage.
It means nothing more than 15M Maid in the orderbook. This is not a lot of money and orderbooks change by the second. Put a sell order in for 1M Maid at .00018 and pull or trim it when the bid nears.
What it means and what we’ve been seeing for quite some time is manipulation on the orderbooks.
Maid has been in a powerful uptrend for the last two weeks. We are watching a series of whales try to set up massive sell orders when the btc/maid peg gets moved because bitcoin caught an uptrend.
I personally uncovered an orchestrating attempt before against maid and I believe we could still be experiencing a similar affair.
It’s probably a coin supporter that doesn’t want to see money move away from his articular brand of coin.
