Love it. HN is going to hate on this as it's a positive regarding crypto.
- DrScump 9y ago
  If HN "hates it" it will be because of the artificial promotion (brand-new submitting account, brand new positive commenting account, and 10 magical upvotes in the first few minutes).

    We'll see about that. Crytpo is real, it's for the un-banked around the world who also do not have clean water and that's about 1/3 the population of Earth and those make about $1/day. Give it a break. Ref: https://hackernoon.com/blockchain-mohammed-on-the-blockchain-1426cbd3c67d https://hackernoon.com/blockchain-mohammed-on-the-blockchain...

      You're dreaming. M-pesa and similar systems beat Bitcoin by a wide margin on everything the unbanked care about.

        We're not only talking about Bitcoin, there are 2k other crypto's on deck. Adapt.

        They all lose to M-pesa and its equivalents for what the unbanked care about. Decentralization does not solve a problem that any of these people have.

        Is ethereum a bubble? Or is it creating an ICO bubble ecosystem and it will win out?

      Dude, wtf? If you are going to provide a "reference" at least make sure it's about a real person and not an imaginary African a "former pentagon analyst and blockchain advocate" wrote about. Also to a certain extent, I agree with your comment, "crypto is real". But is bitcoin? Maybe it was but now it's so unstable I can't use it to buy shit and neither can the hypothetical poor man discussed above. I think this is a flaw in the current implementation. But not many "blockchain advocates" seem to be writing about that. I wonder why?

        This is what it feels like to be "disrupted". Don't fight it, pivot and adapt.

Great idea... but the theme in general looks pale and hard to read. Also, the price ticker container is a bit small, maybe give it more height than 75px? Edit: And some links don't work. Example: https://cryptonewsagency.com/topics/news/What's-the-true-value-of-bitcoin?-Who-knows/5a30454dca410900101c396e https://cryptonewsagency.com/topics/news/What's-the-true-val...

They need to add Ardor onto their tracker, it just broke $1 .. I bought in last August @ 10 cents. It's more secure, more stable, and uses POS instead of POW so it's also MUCH more energy efficient. I honestly think someday bitcoin/ethereum bubbles will crash and Ardor or something like it will be the main blockchain stack.
