How to 5-10x Your Money

Bitcoin is back to making daily headlines on mainstream media channels and given today’s price action, there is little doubt what the BIG topic of conversation was around the Christmas table just a few short days ago. Yes dear readers, the retail traders are well and truly back in crypto land.

Here at Block Throne we are delighted to see our retail friends back in action, because they are just in time for some amazing opportunities for those brave enough to leave the cozy and (relatively) safe confines of the centralised exchanges and venture out into the wild, wild world of 2020’s crypto breakout feature, DeFi.

For those new to crypto, here’s what you’ve missed in the last few months:

During the summer of 2020, a certain thing called DeFi or decentralised finance really took off in a major way. The cornerstone of this mania was a brand new type of exchange, where anyone could list any ERC-20 (Ethereum) token as long as they provided some initial liquidity (i.e. both sides of the trading pair in equal quantities, like 50% ETH and 50% USDC for example). This exchange was called Uniswap. Remember this name as it will be important going forward.

What a weekend in Crypto!

Hey everybody, how are you all feeling on this crazy day in crypto?

Wow, what a week this has been! Only a few days ago we saw the biggest launch since the 2017-18 ICO mania, with The Graph (GRT) launching on Binance and Coinbase simultaneously and doing a 4x in just a few short days despite the massive 165 million market cap at launch. INCREDIBLE!

At the same time we saw a bunch of small caps like Parsiq (PRQ), Maha DAO (MAHA), Alliance block (ALBT), and a few others pull their own 2,3,4x pumps.

Within the last few weeks we also saw some mid-caps like Elrond (EGLD) and SwissBorg (CHSB) make very impressive gains.

And to top it all off Elon Musk himself contributed to the hype by tweeting one of the best crypto memes of 2020.

Undoubtedly this was brought on by Bitcoin breaking its all time high of 20k on 16. December 2020 and continuing to pump all the way to 24k.

Not surprisingly, we are currently seeing some profit taking goin on, with red numbers more or less across the board on CoinGecko. Hopefully it’s just a short term correction and we will be back making new all time highs sooner rather than later.

If history is anything to go by, 2021 is looking to be a very hot year for crypto with life-changing, face-melting gains on offer for those brave enough to get involved.

On the other hand, with the crazy turmoil goin on in the world right now and the pump seen in the stock market during 2020, we could also see a bigger correction back to more reasonable levels.

As always, we are faced with big risks and big rewards in crypto. Either way, congratulations are definitely in order for everyone who stuck with crypto through this brutal 3 year bear market. Your just rewards lay ahead, so be sure to trade safe, practice proper risk management and don’t get rekt!

Shill Report: Suppoman – TOP 5 CRYPTOS FOR PASSIVE INCOME!! 🤑 Earn $1K+ Per Month? (20/08/2018)

Suppoman is back with another shill, this time promoting passive income of $1,000 per month plus. What an amazing clickbait title BTW.

To save you listening to him babble on for nearly 40 minutes, piercing your eardrums multiple times in the process, here’s what you actually need to know.

His projections assume two things. First is an investment of $10,000 and second, which is fairly out there to say the least, is that the prices of tokens earned from staking these cryptos will increase 20x in the future (not impossible though, just highly unlikely).

So, with that mega assumption out of the way, here are his picks & projected incomes:

1. Fusion (buy 10205 tokens to earn $90 per month currently and potentially $1,800 in the future)

2. Ontology (buy 4245 tokens to earn $57 per month currently and potentially $1,136 in the future)

3. Wechain (buy 737840 tokens to earn $38per month currently and potentially $769 in the future)

4. Cardano (buy 103092 tokens to earn $29per month currently and potentially $574 in the future)

5. Neo (buy 545 tokens to earn $23per month currently and potentially $472 in the future)

So, if you have $10k US greenbacks burning a hole in your pocket, here’s a super risky way to ensure yourself a life of luxury at some stage in the future.

Suppoman effect on price
Suppoman effect on price – see that huge spike just before 21st Aug? He’s still got it!

Also be sure to check out the comments on his video on YouTube for more ideas of great paying coins such as Neblio, Populous, OmiseGo, Pundi X etc.

Alright, that’s it already guys. If you enjoyed this edition be sure to smash up the likes over at our Facebook page, and we’ll see you all again very soon in the next installment of the Shill Report.

Travel, write reviews, get paid in crypto

Futourist, the first travel review platform based on Ethereum that rewards users for creating and curating travel reviews with blockchain tokens.
People are creating content for free and businesses generate massive amounts of revenue for displaying this content. Futourist is challenging this unfairness by rewarding all users for their work, from superstar influencers to everyday reviewers.

They will start building on top of an existing and working platform called
OpenHours. It generates more than 1 million monthly users which are perfect for proving the concept.

THE FUTURE OF REVIEWS IS VIDEO

In the era of Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and Snapchat, the video is the clear winner of all online content types. The Futorist will be focusing on video reviews. A picture says a thousand words and video is composed of thousands of pictures.
The video is the future of information sharing, because of the speed and convenience of how the information is
created and perceived. And as a bonus, video reviews are trustworthy and hard to fake. You know.. “record it or didn’t happen”.
With Futourist, influencers will have a place to display and directly monetize their content. And through Futourist’s
internal social network, they will have the ability to spread awareness about their content and increase their social
reach.

WHY REVIEWS
Reviews are one of the most globally spread and helpful kind of information found online. There is a direct correlation
between review content and revenue of the business behind the reviewed object or service. Despite this fact,
reviewers are rarely rewarded for their contribution in any way.
Reviews have an enormous impact on people’s decisions when considering a business to buy services from. People
nowadays tend to trust reviews more than anything else. Research shows that online reviews are as powerful
as any personal recommendation.

BUSINESS BENEFITS OF REVIEWS
Statistics show, that positive feedback from reviewers has an enormous impact on business revenue and can boost
the sales up to 5 times.
• A one-star rating increase on Yelp leads to a 5 – 9% increase in businesses revenue
• Customers are likely to spend up to 31% more on a business with top reviews
• 67% of travelers said they are willing to pay more for a hotel with higher review scores

TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

  • 18% of tokens to cover future team members, advisors, and experts. This will help us build a solid team with years of experience crucial to Futourist growth.
  • 5% of tokens will be reserved for OpenHours platform. Already existing platform that will give them a huge advantage when kickstarting the project was developed by the OpenHours company, but furthermore,
    with 1 mio monthly users, our platform will be ready to launch a lot faster.
  • 25% of tokens will be available for the ICO crowdsale.
  • 7% tokens will be available for future partners
  • 45% of tokens for the Community and for future projects.
    In the first year of runway, Futourist will reward users with a large percentage of reserved tokens. These tokens will be given back to community in form of contest rewards, each with different token amount, time period and
    objective.

The One Graph That No One is Paying Attention To

If we’re being honest for a moment, we were all mesmerized by the hockey stick shaped exponential growth charts in crypto token prices on CoinMarketCap.com in November and December of last year, and for some strange reason we all thought the party would never end.

Recently however, we’ve been brought back down to Earth with a persistent and relentless downturn in prices, which even the granddaddy of them all, Bitcoin has not been immune from. So what’s going on here? Why is this happening?

First a little history lesson. After every boom there is always a bust. Always! The early investors always profit from the late investors. It’s that simple.

We don’t even have to go that far back to remember what happened to property prices and the economy as a whole less than 10 years ago. And this time it will be no different, trust me. Only in crypto-land it will take place much, much faster. In fact it’s already here, since the recent drop in prices is no ordinary “correction” and here’s why:

“Buy Bitcoin“ search volume on Google Trends.
“Buy Bitcoin“ search volume on Google Trends.

The only reason the prices of crypto tokens were going up like crazy throughout November and December 2017 was because there were tons of new buyers pouring in by the hundreds of thousands every single day. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were the most talked about subjects on TV and at dinner tables across the word. But guess what? As the above chart shows, this is no longer the case.

The interest in Bitcoin has dropped very significantly after the new year and as the prices began to fall, new buyers were were no longer interested and this precipitated a further fall in price, which motivated “hodlers” to start selling. Here’s a quick chart to explain basic market psychology, that has proven true time and time again.

And now ask yourself, do you see any similarities between the two charts above! Do you think history is about to repeat itself?

1 Year Bitcoin Chart 1st Feb 2018.
1 Year Bitcoin Chart 1st Feb 2018.

Since its all time high price of $19,909 on 17th December 2017, Bitcoin has lost almost half of its value and now the altcoins are feeling the pain too, with most of them loosing around 30-50% recently. Many new entrants into the crypto market have bought at all time high prices and have suffered devastating losses. Their stories of financial ruin will scare away many new investors and a bear market is now likely to follow. Keep in mind though that this “crypto-bear” won’t last as long as it does in traditional markets.

It’s moments like, when all hope seems lost, and when prices are in what seems like a perpetual free-fall,  that will define you as the investor in the crypto economy. Are you a true believer in the blockchain revolution or did you just come along for the quick buck?

If you are the first, you will see this as a huge opportunity to add to your positions, whereas on the other hand, if you are the latter, you will run like the wind, until the next hype phase comes back. You will of course have missed the big opportunity and will again place yourself in a weak position by buying late.

Remember what Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of all time has said:

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.“

This is not financial advice. Always do your own research. If you need help with the technical aspects of trading, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We offer one on one consultations at very competitive rates.

Will Tether burst the Bitcoin bubble?

Teather is unique cryptocurrency, it’s like a bridge between crypto and fiat. The idea behind Tether is for every 1 Tether that exists there is 1 USD to back it up, sitting in reserves somewhere in Tethers bank accounts, always ready to be redeemed at  1:1 ratio.

This makes Tether basically digital cash bypassing financial institutions and regulations, money build for internet is perfect for traders and individuals trading cryptocurrencies, exchanges, and blockchain companies.

So far so good, but here is the tricky part, they started to print a lot of new Teather without proof of US dollar backing it. If in the near future it is found out that the newly printed tether doesn’t have 1:1 USD backup there will be a major problem.

How can this effect Bitcoin and crypto market?

Tether sends minted USDT directly to Bitfinex. While it’s unclear what exact transactions take place with them after, what was observed is that once these USDT enter the Bitfinex exchange, the price of bitcoin jumps, as has happened multiple times recently. That means it’s likely the new tethers are used to buy bitcoin. As demand for bitcoin surges, its price goes up, investors see that and want to get in on it, more bitcoin is bought, and the cycle continues. If there is no real USD backup of Tether these prices are pumped artificially. That means that when people find out about that there will be a massive dump in a price ob bitcoin from 30 – 80% and the whole crypto market will be crashing as well.

 

Bitfinex and Tether are essentially sister companies with overlapping ownership between the two

It was confirmed via the Paradise Papers — confidential electronic documents relating to offshore investments that were leaked to the public in Nov 2017, that Bitfinex and Tether are essentially sister companies with overlapping ownership between the two.

This confirmed long-held suspicions that a relationship between the two existed because whenever new USDT is printed out it is often sent straight to Bitfinex.

Summary of Tether investigation report

  • Author’s opinion – it is highly unlikely that Tether is growing through any organic business process, rather that they are printing in response to market conditions.
  • Tether printing moves the market appreciably; 48.8% of BTC’s price rise in the period studied occurred in the two-hour periods following the arrival of 91 different Tether grants to the Bitfinex wallet.
  • Bitfinex withdrawal/deposit statistics are unusual and would give rise to further scrutiny in a typical accounting environment.
  • If there is questionable activity, the author believes a 30-80% reduction in BTC price could be forecast.

  • Progress of the project / Road map 1-10
  • Buissnies sector (market worth) (needs for the project) (competition) 1-10
