antidepressant. I know it's a bit controversial but... at some point your nervous system is not working properly, and there is no way you can heal if your nervous system continues to overheat. Antidepressant allowed me to calm it down, regulate it, to be able to sleep again, and start the (needed) psychological work with a therapist. Both have to go together. It can take months or years. But you'll fight it ultimately, trust me.


Curious to know if you ever got off anti depressants? Or youre still on them?


No i got off it. I thought it would take 3 months (naive hope). It took 18 months. It was a liquid solution, I had to take 7 drops per day. I had to decrease the dose VERY progressively. I took my time. It was rally a small dose at the end. But I wanted to be safe. Again, it goes together with a proper therapy. One without the other is useless. So I progressed a lot during my therapy, which allowed me to decrease the dose. It's been 2 years I dont need antidepressant, and I dont think I will ever need it again. I am completely cured :)


The roadmap is fairly general, not detailed enough, and not serious enough. It makes Stellar look like another startup, not like a company which wants to be the next paypal or replace bitcoin.

I think most of those cryptocurrency companies need to invest in their communication, PR and marketing in general. If they want to attract investors in their coin, they need to have a perfect communication, inspiring confidence. This would always be better than a stupid blogpost full of jokes...

But this is a forum of developers so I am not sure how this tribune for marketing is going to echo here ;)


Not everybody can post in this subreddit though. And it's always good to have different places to share about crypto :)


Raiblocks and IOTA are the two to watch, yes.


IOTA is not made to be a currency to shop online or buy coffee, it's an IoT currency. Stop trying to shill what you've bought. It's also deeply flawed, centralized and its wallet is not user friendly.


Believe it or not, I don't have IOTA nor XRB in my portfolio.


There are concerns about IOTA: MIT Media Lab's concerns about the cryptocurrency IOTA

IOT is definitely one cryptocurrency to watch this year, together with XRB...


Not sure what you mean, but just in case : there is this blockchain based mobile cryptocurrency called Electroneum. They plan to release a mobile mining simulator on mobile. Check their website.


He is not the first "Wall Street veteran" to predict a Bitcoin crash. This is all the same speech for 4 years. They will keep on saying the same, even when the bitcoin will be priced at 40K dollars...


good luck with that...


Quite useful and minimalist. If I may suggest an improvement, the tool would be better with the option to show the latest price graph for each currency.


I plan to add a very small graph, just to indicate each coins direction. At some point, I'd like to be able to click on a coin and see detailed graphs and other information, news & tweets about the coin maybe.


The reality is that there are now much better cryptocurrencies to rely on for small transfers than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is extremely slow and costly. Other cryptocurrencies provide the same service for a lower cost and higher speed. Check out Stellar for instance, a distributed, hybrid blockchain that is fully open-source, optimized for money transfers...


Hello,

I am not a developer, but if I may share my humble knowledge here, I think the most common starting point is to reuse Ethereum standard. 50% of the new blockchain-based services being launched are using this standard... I advise you to read the white paper if you have not done it yet :)


What do you mean by "Ethereum standard"? If you're talking about ERC20 token standard, that's exactly what OP said (s)he is not aiming for.
