You have to use phrases like “Ethereum Is Going To The Moon” because we are after all talking about cryptocurrency, the bad boy of the financial world.I’ve never been a fan of Ethereum because it is a “bag ‘o nails as far as I can see. Ethereum is a wonderful mess and when you think about it, how could it be otherwise? Ethereum is a global decentralized computer powered by its own currency. It’s an idea and software project so cool, I get frostbite every time I think about it.In my dinosaur brain, Bitcoin is Microsoft and Ethereum is Apple or if you want to use a metaphor where everyone lost, Bitcoin is the Atari ST and Ethereum is the Amiga.I like POW (proof of work) crypto currencies where the system is ruled on the basis of how much computing power you can apply to maintaining the system. I’ve steered clear of Ethereum because it is heading towards POS (proof of stake,) a system where oligarch-sized owners of the coin get to call the shots and likely do what oligarchs do best, poop on the little people and fight to the death amongst themselves. Crypto is politics in software form, so to me the political framework of cryptocurrencies is all important. The POS future for Ethereum is a killer for me long term, but right now it is not that “in the long term we are all dead” that is the key, it is that visibility of the long term itself is all but dead.Cryptobasefx is a privately owned company operating on the Bitcoin(BTC), Ethereum(ETH), Bitcoin Cash(BCH) , Litecoin(LTC) and other cryptocurrenciestrade market.

In the midterm Ethereum is looking incredibly exciting. I’m buying.Why? Is it my inflation terror driving me on? No. Ethereum is onto a new crypto winning phenomena. DeFi (decentralized finance). Well, that’s what it’s called, but most DeFi is dull and almost pointless, the exciting bit is the crypto lending part where you can stash your cryptocash in a blockchain system and get paid interest on it in a “risk free” way.This part of DeFi feels like a new form of market. Anyone can join and everyone is invited. It has no KYC/AML (know your customer/anti-money laundering) hurdles and lags, and if it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, that duck is a shiny tech casino. Of course all markets are casinos but if you can come up with a new form of market and it’s fun, exciting, instant and can be used sensibly or in insanely risky, win big/lose big ways, you are going have a winner. And they do. And it’s all powered by Ethereum.The original Ethereum value driver was the ICO (initial coin offering), another casino on Meth. The regulators did what they do well and snuffed it out but crypto at its base is a way of creating value outside of the maw of fiat monopolies and you can’t keep that at bay indefinitely. So snuffing out ICOs didn’t snuff out Ethereum, it just left it ticking over until the distributed computer got another hit app. Here it is.Two of these DeFi platforms are AAVE and Compound and you should zip over and take a look. I had some Ethereum sploshing about so I popped $23 worth in and in seconds I was watching the value tick up 79 billionth of a dollar every second or so. I’m going to have to wait a year to make a $1 but that’s not the point. I just opened a deposit account in one minute, transferred money into it in seconds and now I’m watching it grow instantaneously and that purely from landing on the beach of a new continent of financial services that can spin off from this.But let’s forget the buzzword and the excitement.This is going to drive the value of Ethereum. It is going to drive it through the cost of transaction. A chronic rise in transaction costs in dollars drives the long-term value of the coin up in dollars. That is because the transaction cost is pushed by a rising utility of the coin which must then push up its value in ‘fiat.’So here is the recent history of Ethereum transaction costs.Ethereum transaction costs from 2016 to dateDeFi is on the move and Ethereum transaction fees are on the move and block size is jumping to new all time highs.In summary for crypto, use case equals value and this new hit use case for Ethereum is going to drive its value and price up. At least in the short to medium term and for now those are the key timeframes we should be trading in.———Clem Chambers is the CEO of private investors website ADVFN.com and author of 101 Ways to Pick Stock Market Winners and Trading Cryptocurrencies: A Beginner’s Guide.Chambers won Journalist of the Year in the Business Market Commentary category in the State Street UK Institutional Press Awards in 2018.

“Congratulations, you’ve just been awarded a free lunch at the Itty Bitty Cafe.” That’s what the employee recognition award read. And, yes, the company cafeteria was actually named the Itty Bitty Cafe.The award was lame and the food at the Itty Bitty Cafe sucked.Employees used to openly ridicule how cheap the CEO was. This an example of how an employee recognition award can backfire on you.Another company I worked for had a better idea:“Congratulations for the great work you’ve done. You and a guest have been awarded a dinner for two at an one following fine restaurants.”The restaurants were always very high-end. The food was great. And you got to bring your significant other.Which company do you think had better, highly motivated employees?So, when I was starting my company, I modeled the awards we gave on the second company.Yes, we gave away free dinners for two. But there are other clever things you can do as well:A. Make the long term and the short term goals of the company visible and clear. We had company meetings the day after every board meeting.We would go through as much of the board material as we could with the team. We also made sure that we made clear the company short term and long term awards.Early in the company’s history the number of customers, revenue, and new product introductions were the goals I wanted everyone to be focused on hitting.We put a white board in a central area of the company, so everyone could see it. We had the goals in clear sight, so everyone could see how we were doing.Then…B. We gave company-wide awards when we achieved each milestone. The awards could range from free movie tickets for hitting a short-term intermediate goal to a cash bonus for every employee for hitting a long-term goal.I always used to show a slide with a timeline of each goal we achieved and all the goals left to achieve. It looked like we were climbing a mountain (which we were).The nice thing was the team could see all they had achieved along the way, and all we had to do was just get to the goal on the way to the top of the mountain. This is an easy way to keep you team motivated.The combination of individual awards for special achievement along with short-term and long-term company wide awards when we hit a milestone kept everyone focused and motivated.And you need a motivated team if you are going to win.For more, read: How Do You Keep Your Company On The Right Track When You’re Just Starting? - Brett J.

Is DENT still a good investment for long term even if the supply is soon 100 billion?DENT’s supply has always been 100 billion. A lot of that is locked up in DENT Wireless’s treasury.All cryptocurrencies are speculative investments and most will die. The ones that survive will be worth so much, it won’t make sense, you won’t be able to understand how they could get that far above today’s price. They’re such tiny assets solving such huge problems, even modest success will drive prices higher.That said, I’d put DENT near the top of the list of tokens most likely to survive. I also credit their team for releasing tokens from their treasury. They have about $56 million on hand and huge ambitions, there’s no need for them to sit on all that cash. In fact, DENT is on my list of Ten Cryptocurrencies You Need to Own in 2019.You have to understand the size of their target market is huge compared to the value of their network. On the face of it, DENT Wireless created a secondary market for unused mobile data. This is a global market for likely $5–10 billion worth of data people pay for but don’t use. A wide estimate, for sure, but it’s the best I can do.DENT’s team already reports millions of active users plus more who’ve downloaded the app, which lets users “top-up” their friends’ mobile plans or swap minutes on an exchange. The app also supports voice calls to 60 countries and DENT’s team plans to build remittances and videochat. These features will further build its network and open up new, potentially massive markets—long-term, possibly a trillion dollars worth of commerce or more, all using the DENT network.So yes, as a speculative venture, DENT is an excellent choice. It has a real product, actual users, and a compelling, unique value proposition. At $.0018 per token, it’s a steal. The price could 10x and still only capture a tiny portion of its target market.Now, the caveats:Even if DENT succeeds, it’s impossible to know what competitors will do. Even if succeeds and also drives away competitors, it’s possible people will constantly move money out of DENT, much in the same way you move money off of Venmo or PayPal when you don’t need it. Some people may even manipulate the prices (this happens to all currencies, even “real” ones like dollars, euros, yen, and pesos). As a result, it’s possible DENT could capture a trillion dollars worth of commerce without actually pushing the price of DENT tokens up very much.Also, it’s impossible to know the team dynamics and contingencies. What happens if their lead developer gets mad and quits? What happens if the team falls apart? If it turns out they’re all incompetent? If it turns out they’re all extremely competent but can’t agree on anything? It’s possible the entire project collapses.And one last thing: it’s possible the platform itself will fail. It’s one thing to have an app with 10 million users. It’s another thing to support a global network that’s seeing constant traffic, attempted hacks, regulatory issues, lawsuits, etc.Invest wisely.—Mark Helfman is a cryptocurrency commentator and author of Readers’ Favorite award-winning 5-star book Consensusland: A Cryptocurrency Utopia.
