      "body": "<b>The Evolution of a Masternode Project: What to look for when deciding to invest in a masternode project.</b>\n\nRealizing in early 2018 that it was going to be a long and tough road for crypto this year, I sought other areas to invest. I came across masternodes, and their promise to pay “rewards” or dividends based on holding a certain number of coins, and becoming a node on their network by hosting a server on my computer for the overall system. At first it seemed overly complicated, but if you have above average tech skills, some patience and time, you can have a masternode up and running in a few hours and start earning “rewards”.\n\nMy first masternode investment was in a very small project. I wanted to make sure I could actually set one of these nodes up before investing in a larger project. After getting the first up, my confidence rose and I made some significant investments in some larger projects. Over the past six months I have invested in a nice collection of masternodes, numbering almost 30, and have become actively involved in a number of the communities. At one point in March-April all of my Masternodes were earning a couple of thousands dollars per month. As of today, they are down significantly to several hundred dollars per month, but despite this, I continue to invest in select projects that I believe have what it take to become successful.\n\nHere is what I have learned.\n\nMasternode projects go through a general cycle that I have witnessed a number of times now. And while I do not like to generalize, I have found a particular pattern that if you watch carefully, will allow you to separate the good from the bad projects, and will also give you early warning signs to get out of a project.\n\n<b>PHASE 1: The Vision or The Excitement</b>\n\nThe Devs (the project creators are affectionately known as the Devs, short for developers) decide to make a new project, a new coin. The Devs will undoubtedly have a vision for their new coin. Whether it be just another cryptocurrency, or a cryptocurrency with a particular use, the vision will be big - if you are going to dream, dream big as they say.\n\nThe Devs enlist the help of marketing types who go out and pump the coin on social media as the new next big thing. Now it is very important to remember that if you invest enough you will have the right to have a masternode on their network. And this masternode will receive “rewards” in the form of the projects coins at set intervals. From a marketing perspective this is amazing, the message,.”invest x in this project and earn dividends y that you can sell back into the market!”\n\nAlso remember that the project just creates the coins to pay these masternode holders, so the value of the coins received is only what the market is willing to buy them for. This results in a constant supply of new coins being brought to the market as masternode holders sell the “rewards” they receive. So long as there are more people interested in investing in the project, there will be buyers of the rewards. During Phase 1 there are plenty of investors willing to buy the coins being sold because more people are learning about the project - also known in the community as FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out.\n\nAs the marketers begin to promote the project, the Devs go to work “forking” another project. The word “fork” is a fancy way of saying, they download another projects code, make some simple changes, and then call it their own. In many regards it is as simple as searching and pasting code changes and creating new graphics. And since it is so easy to do, we see a lot of masternode coins popping up all over.\n\nThe Devs also go to an exchange to list their project so people can buy and sell the project’s currency. While it is difficult and very costly to get on large exchanges, it is quite easy and very inexpensive to get on smaller exchanges, some charging as little as .2 BTC or less.\n\nDuring this time, there is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. The project embraces the vision. The promise of a new investment that earns rewards almost perpetually brings a lot of people to the table.\n\n<b>PHASE 2: Launch Day</b>\n\nWith great anticipation the launch of the new (copied) coin comes. The new “wallet” is released to great fanfare. The coin opens for trading on the exchange. Those who were not able to buy the coin during the pre-launch phase start buying up coins on the exchange to create their own masternodes to collect “rewards”. (The rewards are greatest at the beginning of a new coin to encourage early investment and then gradually reduce over time but never to zero.)\n\nLaunch is great success, and the price inevitably (except for poorly pumped projects) “moons” or goes up dramatically. Masternode holders begin receiving rewards, some hold the rewards, other sell the rewards on the exchange. Discord, the community social chat channel for the project, lights up with congratulatory discussion and emojis of rockets. The Dev team pulled it off - the new network is up and running. The Dev team sits back to admire their work. Investors talk about how their dev team is different, involved, with a purpose.\n\n<b>Phase 3: Delivering on the Vision</b>\n\nThe first crop of Masternode coins, think DASH, promised faster payments, more anonymity, and cheaper transaction fees than Bitcoin. There are very few projects like DASH and maybe SmartCash that can claim actual adoption and use of their coin as real currency. However, the vast majority of projects that simply offer a new cryptocurrency are failing or have failed.\n\nThe new crop of Masternode coins must have a purpose in order to succeed. Whether it be creating a video game sales site, promoting the environment, a new decentralized database, a security portal, a trading application, etc., every new project has a purpose and utility. And every Dev team promises that after launch, they will begin to deliver on this promise.\n\nDelivering the product or purpose of the coin has become problematic for the devs. Why? Remember this project was built on copied code from another project. Even the wallet that everyone is so excited about is the same wallet Bitcoin uses just rebranded. Are you starting to see the problem?\n\nThe Devs are normally excellent at downloading someone else’s work and hacking the code together to make it look like it is indeed their project. To the unassuming eye, the creation of the masternode network and the wallet all look like legitimate and difficult endeavors. It takes someone with extremely good basic coding skills to pull this off. You need to know your command-line commands, you need to know your compilers, you need to understand networking, and you need to be patient and work through the errors - knowing a good graphic designer is also very helpful. However, to create a masternode network, you do not need to know how to write code.\n\nThis is one of the very first warning signs I look for in a coin. It is relatively easy for the devs to deliver on the network and wallet, and all the marketing collateral to promote the coin. Now is the time to build something the masses will use. And for this, you need a lot more coding skills than what is needed to build the network and wallet. Start to watch carefully how things progress from here.\n\nKeep asking, do the Devs really have what it takes to build the widget they promised? If you get the sense they do not, get out - very few projects can afford to retain talented programmers to deliver on their vision. Worst yet, many of these Devs do not know what it will take (programmers, technology, marketing) to deliver on the promises they made.\n\nOn the other hand, if you see product development begin and continue as evidenced by Dev updates, screenshots, partnerships, demo sites, etc., you may be part of a great project.\n\n<b>Phase 4: What is the coin used for?</b>\n\nThis is the question that I have stumped most Devs with. What is your coin actually used for? What does it represent? The answers to this question has led me to sell a number of masternode investments immediately because I realized the Devs had no idea how the coin related to their product.\n\nAgain, you need to remember the Devs in the vast majority of cases have no ability to modify the code of the coin. The vast majority of these coins are simply copies of Bitcoin or DASH or PIVX - they are cryptocurrencies that can be used for payments, etc. Aside from being used as a currency, they have no other purpose.\n\nIf you are going to say your project is going to build a portal to buy and sell used widgets, you eventually have to ask, what are you going to sell them for? Unless it is DASH or SmartCash or another big player, if the devs answer, we are going to buy and sell using our projects currency you have a major problem. Potential customers of the portal do not have the projects currency. So the devs are basically proposing, a potential customer needs to acquire the projects currency before they can use the project’s widget portal. So, potential customers have to convert Bitcoin or another crypto into the projects crypto before they can use the project’s site. You had better be selling some unique widget if you really believe a potential customer who knows nothing about your project is going to go through this conversion before using the project’s site. There are competitors, who just accept credit cards.\n\nI have argued with a number of devs who really believe that a potential customer will convert their Bitcoin to their project’s native currency in order to access their portal. They do not see the problems fraught with this including the volatility of their currency price. No one in their right mind will convert their Bitcoin into an even more volatile currency. I had some Devs tell me that eventually their coin price will stop being so volatile - some day when? Bitcoin is still incapable of being used as a store of value.\n\nIf the devs do not have a clear use for their coin that is directly tied to potential customers using the coin in a meaningful manner, get out. It is very hard to backwards engineer use into the project. I am working with three projects assisting them define and link their coin to their project. It is no easy feat.\n\n<b>Phase 5: Price Drops to the Floor</b>\n\nOnce all the excitement falls, and the difficult questions begin to be asked, the price inevitably plummets. The masternode “rewards” are worth less and less, which causes many to begin to sell. The Devs begin to make promises, new marketing is rolled out, maybe a new white paper or roadmap to keep the price afloat.\n\nWhether the team has the capability or not to deliver on their promises there will be a long period where the Dev team actually has to go to work and create the product. This will take much longer than any investor is willing to wait. As patience with the Dev team erodes, the community begins to become louder with their demand for information.\n\nIn response to the demands and to stem the price fall, the Devs will often begin to give more information to the community, hold chats to answer questions, etc. This keeps the investors at bay for a short while, but more and more coins are coming on to the exchange daily from the “rewards” being given to the masternode holders.\n\nAnother area that has caused alarm is the basic lack of economic understanding many of these devs have for currency. You would think they would read a book or two about managing a currency before starting this endeavour, but they do not. Concepts of supply and demand, inflation, reinvestment, capital outlay, marketing expenses are at extremely basic sub-high school levels in most cases. It is very hard to manage a currency if you do not understand basic money concepts.\n\nAs the price continues to fall, demands become even louder. The Devs start showing up less and less. News becomes more infrequent. The excitement is replaced by excuses. Many of the devs do not get paid or take a salary so they complain about having to work a real job and work the project. They complain about the overall market performance driving their price down. They begin to complain that they haven’t had enough time to build anything. When you see the enthusiasm being replaced by excuses, get out.\n\nAnd eventually when the complaining becomes too loud, the Devs stop coming altogether. And that’s the funny thing. Unlike most projects when the Devs leave, the project dies. But because of the decentralized nature of the technology, these networks live on, investors continue to receive “rewards” from their masternodes, exchanges continue to earn fees as the dead coins are bought and sold, and the investors are held holding largely worthless coin from a project without leadership.\n\n<b>Phase 6: Legit project or die.</b>\n\nIf you find a project that offers:\n\n- a unique vision and a unique product;\n\n- a Dev team with the capability to develop their own code;\n\n- a project that applies its cryptocurrency to the product in a sensible marketable manner; and\n\n- a Dev team with the leadership capability and integrity to carry the vision forward for the time it takes to realize success,\n\nyou may have a project worth investing.\n\nPlease contact me about new projects and projects that you believe meet my basic criteria.\n\nIn the coming days I will be releasing another article for Masternode Devs on how to build and maintain a successful project. Please like and follow!\n\nOnwards and Upwards,\n\nJack Fleek\n\nFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fleekico",

      "body": "Mainstream financial media's attempt to compare the January 2018 cryptocurrency correction to the 1999/2000 dot-com burst shows their naivety when it comes to Bitcoin and the entire crypto market.  \n\n1. Cryptocurrency has only just begun to enter mainstream awareness never mind adoption.  By the year 2000 when the dot-com burst was in full effect, over 43% of the United States population was using the Internet.   In contrast, after roughly eight years Bitcoin is at best in its early adopters phase.  It is estimated that only .046% of the target population of crypto users has adopted this technology.  We are not at the peak of this cycle as mainstream media would like to suggest, rather we are just starting up the bitcoin adoption  lifecycle.  \n\n2. The Internet was a collaboration of universities and government institutions.  These institutions were well funded.  Once the potential of the Internet began to be understood mass amount of investment from government, education, and private institutions followed.  In stark contrast, there has been little to no investment by any of these entities in cryptocurrency.  In great part Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has been supported by small individual investors who support the technology and/or want to make money.  The day will come when mainstream investors and possibly even governments will make a big move into cryptocurrency.  When this happens the market will explode higher.\n\n3. Almost every government around the world has put roadblocks in front of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency development.  This too is in stark contrast to the Internet where almost every government assisted their people and businesses gain Internet access.  Bitcoin has had threats made against its existence since day one and countless times thereafter. The Internet never faced such a constant threat. In fact I believe it is a testament to the power of Bitcoin for having survived. \n\n4. Bitcoin threatens banks and the entire financial system for that matter.  The Internet promised ever greater profits for the banks through huge cost savings and investments.  Bitcoin survived a direct assault from one of the greatest bankers in history, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan - Bitcoin survived and Dimon backtracked.  Think of the potential investment when banks and other financial institutions begin adopting blockchain technology - and this is already beginning.\n\n5. The first ICO occurred in 2017.  The ICO is an entirely new use for cryptocurrency.  To say something that has not even been around for a year is in a bubble is difficult to understand.  By the time the dot-com bubble burst in 1999/2000 almost all of the foundation technologies of the Internet had been established.  Crypto wallets and payment systems are just beginning to become available to mainstream users and businesses around the world.   \n\nBitcoin and cryptocurrency is in its infancy, maybe its early adopter phase.  If Bitcoin was being used by any significant percentage of the population I would entertain this notion of a bubble crashing.  We are just starting up the very long and steep lifecycle curve.   And to prove this, even after this terrible correction, year over year, Bitcoin is still up several hundred percent.  \n\nThe comparison between the dot-com bubble bursting and the January 2018 correction is untrue and distorts history.  We have not even begun to reach bubble phase.  I am holding my crypto.  I’ll begin selling when my niece asks me if I have any Tron so she can buy a puppy.\n\nThis is just the beginning. \n\nReferences\nhttps://steemit.com/bitcoin/@jimmco/how-many-people-touched-bitcoin-up-to-2017-and-what-is-current-adoption",

      "body": "As of this moment the entire crypto market is worth about the same as McDonalds and Disney combined -$350 billion.  Not to diminish the importance of them but if they both disappeared tomorrow I am sure capitalism and the free world would recover in due time.  \n\nBloomberg reports on Feb 8, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim stating  “the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are Ponzi schemes.”  \n\nTaking it an entire step further, Finance MagNates reports on Feb 6, Agustín Carstens, the General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements, exclaiming “cryptocurrency is a threat to the entire financial system.”\n\nReally? The greatest Ponzi scheme in world history is now a threat to the financial stability of the entire world? Is the world financial system that fragile? \n\nI have a very hard time believing that if the entire cryptocurrency market evaporated tomorrow, just like if McDonalds and Disney disappeared, the entire world’s financial system would become unstable. \n\nOn Nov 29, 2009 the LA Times reported $5 Trillion was destroyed in the dot-com implosion.  Jobs were lost.  Fortunes were lost.  The world continued.  The financial system was certainly rocked, but it survived. \n\nThere is a huge difference between $350 billion and $5 trillion.  So what we really need to ask ourselves is what do they - bankers - find so threatening about cryptocurrency? Is it possible that the bankers are desperately trying to slow down the advancement of crypto so they can catch up? Or are they really worried about existential threats to their very existence?  \n\nOne more perspective, the stock market dropped over $1 trillion in market cap this past Friday.  What difference did it make in your life? The system looks pretty stable to me today. \n\nThe motives behind these statements are unclear, but I think we can all agree on a couple of things:\n\n1. Crypto is not currently nor for the next few years a threat to the world’s financial system.  \n\n2. The bankers are worried about something and it is certainly not the threat of crypto turning out to be a Ponzi scheme.  \n\n3. If the financial system is indeed so fragile than the argument for cryptocurrency is even stronger. \n\n4. As the crypto market cap crosses $1 trillion in the not too distant future we can expect more comments like this by bankers.",

      "body": "Just downloaded Microsoft Crypto Chart widget. Setup my portfolio. There is an option to show the value of your portfolio over the past day, week, month, etc. I was able to graphically see what I already knew. My portfolio is down over 40% in a week, up 132% since Jan 1, up 1,068% over 6 months.\n\nI have realized a couple of things: 1) I have lost, on paper, a lot of money these past several days. If I told people in my life that I lost 40% in a week they would castigate me, and I would feel I deserved it. How could I not sell at the high? How could I not sell on the way down? How did I just HODL through these kind of losses when I clearly could have, maybe should have done something! I would never tell anyone I had such losses. I walk around hiding my embarrassment of the past week and continue to say, crypto is a great opportunity....\n\n2) I have made some significant gains over the past 6 months that I am very proud of. HODLing is the reason why I have made such gains, and I have lived through 40%+ paper losses before. Telling people of my gains is not a problem at all. In fact, when people do ask about crypto the majority want to get in. But how would I explain these moments when your're down 40%+?\n\n3) HODLing may be the best strategy when trying to compete against whales in the market. I have seen all types of reasoning behind the enormous swings in the crypto markets. Almost without fail, I lose money trying to time this market. When I first started trading it was like a curse, I would sell and the price would skyrocket almost immediately after I sold. Was I cursed? - IDK. HODLing is the only strategy that has worked for me. I have gone through these down 40-50% moments before and they have always come back. I have stared at this sea of red before, and I close my eyes and say HODL.\n\n4) Explaining HODL to new investors is more than difficult. I have become a therapist to those I told to get into this market. Those who have experienced at least one boom are in love with crypto. A few who are going through their first downtrend without seeing an upside are anxious to say the least - I just keep sending them HODL memes. It' okay you bought Ripple at $3, just HODL - while they sit on 33%+ losses - HODL!\n\nI start this day in a sea of red. I will go on with my day pretending it doesn't matter. But it does. I was king of the world not a week ago, today I sit with 40% losses... big losses... 5 digit losses... if I told anyone.....\n\nWait just smile and tell everyone you meet, crypto is the way to make big money, and when you lose big money, it's okay, just HODL.",

      "body": "![Image of Our Tron Pup](https://i.imgur.com/XAsUw2b.jpg)\n\nMy wife and I just adopted our first pet from tron.game.com!  We transferred 205 TRX from MyEtherWallet to the tron.game.com website.  The transfer went through within a few minutes. I was then able to adopt a Businessman puppy from the website.  The website worked well even though it was translated to English. \n\nWhen we first saw the game we did not think much of it.  Then I read an article as to why the ETH network is so slow... are you ready for this, CryptoKitties.  Yes, there is a blockchain game called CryptoKitties (https://www.cryptokitties.co/) where you adopt and evolve your adopted digital kitty using the ETH network.  The game is very cool and your pet kitty plus its genetic attributes are stored on the ETH blockchain - decentralized kitty!  This game  is \"overwhelming\" the Ethereum network accoring to Bloomberg News (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-04/cryptokitties-quickly-becomes-most-widely-used-ethereum-app)/.  After seeing this article and reading another article about games like this being very popular in many Asian countries, we are believers in Tron.\n\nNew tron.game.com user pet stores on the site cost 20,000 TRX or $2,000?!?  And there are many, many stores setup.  I also received 48.83 GTC coins for the purchase.  I do not know how to withdraw them or what they are for, but there is some relationship between TRX and GTC coins. \n\nAnother amazing aspect of investing in crypto is the need to learn and understand foreign, and in particular, Asian culture.  We were at first very disappointed in the tron.game.com website, now after learning more, we are very very excited about the prospects for Tron (TRX) and the future of cryptocurrency.  \n\nThe link below has three images, 1) the adopted puppy, 2) the tron.game.com web wallet, and 3) a picture of stores for sale for 20,000 TRX!\n\nhttps://imgur.com/a/pMpou\n\nPlease let us know what you think of our adopted pup, and Tron’s first game.  We were very excited to see the system work, and it looks very close to completion.  If you know more about the popularity of these games throughout Asia we would really like to hear more.",

      "body": "<html>\n<p>The current debate over Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) and its proposed GOP replacement The American Healthcare Act of 2017, is showing how difficult the healthcare issue is to solve. In fact, the debate may be revealing a different reality altogether, the only choice the US may have is to move to a single-payer healthcare system managed by the government – or to put it a simply, socialize the entire U.S. healthcare system.</p>\n<p>The for-profit model of healthcare in the United States is failing, or already has failed many millions of Americans. While Obamacare sought to insure all Americans and reduce the overall cost of healthcare, the program has failed in both respects. In April 2017 CNBC reported, 11.3% of U.S. adults were without health insurance. At the same time, Kaiser/HRET reported the average family health care plan will cost an employer $18,142 per year, up 3.4% from 2015. CNN Money reports, “Premiums on the Obamacare exchanges are expected to rise double-digits in 2016-17.” Most recently, Aetna Health Insurance announced it would pull out of all Obamacare exchanges due to the unprofitability of the system. Many other insurance companies may follow Aetna’s as profitability erodes. &nbsp;The US healthcare system is in crisis.</p>\n<p>The current GOP administration is seeking to replace Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act with the American Healthcare Act of 2017. The legislation has passed the House and is now moving to the Senate. While many applaud the new healthcare legislation, an important question has arisen, what about pre-existing conditions?</p>\n<p>Prior to Obamacare, insurance companies could charge more for their healthcare insurance based on pre-existing conditions. For example, someone with congenital heart failure would pay a higher premium than someone who is relatively healthy. From an insurers point of view this makes total sense. A greater risk would require a larger premium. This is certainly true for automobile insurance, people who have past accidents pay more than people with a clean driving record. Why should this not be the same for healthcare?</p>\n<p>The question of why can’t an insurance company charge more for pre-existing conditions like auto insurers, is a matter of public policy. First, can we hold someone responsible for a pre-existing condition like we hold a poor driver? Second, at what point does the cost of health insurance for pre-existing conditions become prohibitive to an individual or employer?</p>\n<p>While many health issues do arise from the activity of a person, i.e., smoking or over-eating, many health issues do not. It is also difficult to pinpoint the cause of some illnesses. If you smoked in your teens but get lung cancer in your fifties, should we call that a pre-existing condition? If someone had cancer and it is completely cured, should they have to pay a higher insurance premium for the rest of their lives?</p>\n<p>As the debate continues it is becoming clear that pre-existing conditions and the right of insurance companies to charge more for them is one of the major issues. If insurance companies are given the right to charge more for pre-existing conditions we can assume health insurance costs will rise. As the cost rises, less and less people will be able to afford healthcare. Ultimately, the cost of the uninsured falls on the public through government assistance and lost productivity.</p>\n<p>Pre-existing conditions may be the issue that transforms the debate from a profit/private to a non-profit/public U.S. medical system. We must ask, as fewer people have access to quality healthcare, what is the cost to our society? If the US were to adopt a social healthcare system what are the benefits? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",
