People bag it (27 maid withdrawal fee and a touch higher price/not much volume) but cryptopia is no BS getting set up and withdrawals up to $5k no ID needed, would be fine if you needed it short term I guess
Edit: check that though it might be touch more/less havenāt checked for cupla months
Some of the other golden oldies might nail a figure down better but I distinctly remember seeing 2000 Eth per BTC (about $0.30 cents each or something) during the start of their crowdsale all the waaay back when.
Funnily enough the price for MAID in fiat at the moment is cheaper than that was back then. Waaaaaat the hell
MAID has turned into a multi year ICO and quite possibly many will end up stunned at their own shortsightedness in the coming years.
I watch a couple technical analysis guys like Tone Vays for Bitcoin. All of the price direction controls for MAID are external, and none of them seem positive for any alt considering what the technicals are pointing at for Bitcoin at the moment.
Qanon went on about a ādead cat bounceā. Thatās either related to crypto or stocks/bonds. Whatever it is, though, if he said it, itās going to be shocking when it does come.
Itās not a popular desire among people on the forum, as most of them have what they needā¦but the selfish side of me wouldnāt mind seeing it drop super low either, as Iām only sitting on about 3k coins so far.
In this sort of market, maid is the sort if coin I like to hold. It is very under valued relative to the progress being made, imo. It stands a great chance of getting a bigger piece of the shrinking pie (of crypto) over the next couple of years.
Maid stands relatively alone in terms of scope, progress towards it and low value (relative to Bitcoin and other alts). It has been overlooked for a long time, but the potential is clear and Maidsafe are really moving through the gears now (expanding team, enterprise licenses to partners, consistent progress, marketing picking up nicely) - they come across as a more mature, more balanced, more in control. There was never any doubt about technical ability in my mind, but these developments all prove Maidsafeās business and operational abilities too.
I wonder how long the project will remain overlooked. Maybe a new test net or alpha will give everyone another shake! Maybe that will wake them up!
There is a lot of political stuff going on in and outside of crypto. Iāve talked about some of it elsewhere on the forum and have gotten comments removed to new threadsā¦
What I think IS on topic here is that there is good reason to believe that Trump and others are going to go after the central banksā¦big time. Revert to gold standard? Eliminate the central banks and bring currency emission back into the Treasury? Who knowsā¦lots of optionsā¦but that narrative is definitely starting to make some ripples, no pun intended.
Iām pretty up in the air about it. I think he definitely wants freedom from the central banks and from the looks of things, I think itās going to happen, but I donāt know the whole position on crypto. At least with his regulation appointees, there seems to be some cautious optimism. That said, they ARE and WILL be going hard after these ICOs, etc. Tone Vays did a very good interview with Simon Dixon from BnkToTheFuture, who did the 2nd crowdsale/equity raise for Maidsafe, to talk about all the different regulating bodies that have gone on the offensive hard in the last few days. Iām not sure how it plays out, but I think we need to be doing our best to show regulators that we are a legit project. From there, itās going to be toughā¦as youāll see from the interview. https://www.acast.com/world-crypto-network/ontherecordwithtonevays-sec-cftc-fincen...ohmy-withsimondixon
I do see what you are saying about cracking down on the ICO market.
At the same time Trump is unpredictable. I believe on purpose, because I do think he personally has his agenda very clear contrary to what many people think. Therefore the first crackdown on ICOs could really be the start of something bigger and more positive.
Turning the USA into a crypto-haven, would be the best way to turn around the fiscal mess created by the prior administrations.
Since he loves attention and wants to go down in the history books as the best president ever, plus seemingly is not in favor of the central banking system, i believe he will make a very interesting move in favor of us crypto fans!
By the way thanks for the link DarkHorse, very interesting interview.
I agree. He will let the people decide what monetary system they want. The people of the world have forgotten how to participate in self-governance, and I see him opening the door for that. We need to remind people how to self-govern again with good solutions like SAFE. The people never voted for central banking. They just got it forced upon them.
