I’m not an uber whale, but do hodl a substantial MAID position and will continue to do so no matter the price. I suppose if I was a good trader I would have bailed out weeks ago and be buying now - I suppose a lot of whales are going to do just that. Remember that the price can go up much faster than it’s going down now and those of you who have or are bailing out this past week may lose out big time when the market-makers (whales) decide to buy up huge chunks of the market and consolidate ownership - e.g. you sold at .45cents, but can only buy back in at .80cents. I see these market moves as being coordinated by huge whales and the media (yes, in collusion) - call me a conspiracy nut if you want, but that is my opinion and the only reason to do this sort of manipulation, is to buy back in at the low and gain ownership.
So, IMO, unless you are a great trader and can follow the whale trail, I suggest you hodl-on. Just my three bits.

If Bitcoin hits 1-2 k, I and others will be wading in with nets
This is awesome cheap advertizing. Maybe we should send there 1 MAID every few hours, to make it popular.
That’s a bit spammy! I’m a strong believer popularity will come naturally once there are useful services for people to use

tl;dr Bitcoin will likely see a rebound above $5000 and alts will follow suit. Below that, all bets are off.
I have enjoyed Tone Vays and other credible technical analysts when it comes to Bitcoin price prognostications rather than just the whimsical fear or hyper-optimism. Prices follow patterns, and MAID is no exception. For now, we will follow the moves in larger cryptos. My 2 cents is that we’re waiting for an outside and unrelated catalyst to shift opinion and/or Tether to finally explode the altcoin market as nothing inherent to MAID seems to be close just yet. Until then, if you’re a trader, either learn trading or find credible technical experts who have a history of bias-free and conflict-of-interest-free perspectives on price analysis.

Coinbase says segwit will be available in a few weeks.
Hoping this sparks a turnaround.

I saw somewhere that this was being postponed until the 14th? Not true?
Here is one technical analyst view:
Throughout its lifetime MaidSafeCoin has been seen to have one of the most solid structures among the altcoins; MAID is now approaching the all time low, where it should find a level of solid support. Going into the spring we are expecting the cycle to start again with a rush of buyers flooding the market in the coming months after a period of serious correction. With this in mind I have been looking at a potential bullish bat formation in a similar area to the all time low.

Can you reference the analyst?
MAID has definitely been less volatile on average than other coins and that makes analysis easier as well as give some credence to the underlying. I don’t know if it will be springtime, but I would generally agree that there will be negative and positive catalysts internal to MAID and external to it, even external to the world of crypto in general, that will set people on the search for value. There may be others, but one big elephant in the room is Tether.
Once people discover the SAFE Network, attention will shift to it. Investment will follow IF correlated with a sector uptrend. If not, then a flush in the sector would occur, as it is now, and only then will investment come. That’s a warning for those that think greater adoption and attention will necessarily correlate with price in the short-term.
The programmers in our incubator have already shifted away from Ethereum, for example. EOS is their vice at the moment. That will likely change again. Ah, millennial programmers, “for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!”

Hey does anyone know,
I heard tether migrated to Litecoin. Is this true? I don’t think so, since I can see their new printed money using the regular Omni explorer just like MaidSafeCoin.
Are there any other protocols being used for tether, besides the regular BTC omni one?
Around the 1:30 mark in that video, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) brings up the question of ICOs that turn into file sharing, data storage/processing platforms, etc. to distinguish from just stakeholder tokens. SEC chairman thinks that they fall under the same jurisdiction…
This goes against the ideas in the forum that Maidsafe thinks those regulations don’t apply to them. Maybe not in the UK, but US investors in MAID and SAFE might be affected…

When the network launches they will be consumers of a service. How are they going to differentiate a guy holding coins to pay for network services and a guy holding for investment… Going to be interesting.

That was the exact point in the SEC Chairman’s response. He didn’t see a distinction. If at a later time that token can be exchanged as resources, he still thinks it’s a moot point. Pretty bold stance…interesting, indeed. SAFE is going to be lots of things. He referenced old regulations as being forward thinking…let’s see if that actually holds…“If you are promoting securities, you are taking on securities law liability.”

I’ve just double checked and Bitfinex has asked the guys from Omni to make Omni Core on Litecoin.
But apparently (for now?) Tether/Bitfinex went for Ether as alternative for the Omni Bitcoin
