A Deeper Fireside Analysis of ETH held by ICOs and it's impact on the price
The fluctuations of value in the crypto markets can have direct impact for treasuries of projects that raised millions in ICOs at the beginning and throughout the year, so the author had a deeper look into the data and tried to find a few reasons for Ethereum’s performance and what it means going forward.
Few Key Points from the article:
1. ETH is Not Under a Significant Sell Pressure from ICOs.
2. ETH’s Price Decline Happening Primarily Due to Sentiment and Decreased Demand for ETH.
3. The ETH decline is more due to the BitMEX futures/swap launch. BitMEX perpetual swap contracts are cash settled and enormously popular, offering up to 100x leverage.
4. Significant Amounts of ETH Still Held by ICO Projects (around 10% of total ETH supply).
5. Smaller Scale ICOs Might Perform a firesale (liquidate), But Their Impact is Limited.

CNBC Bitcoin Indicator Gives An Insane 95% Accuracy For Bitcoin.
This just shows you how useless CNBCs Fast Money segment really is. Do the opposite of what they say 😂. Good thread to read.

a great example of a well-written and lovingly documented complex smart contract. the readme goes through all the logic of the spankchain staking contract which has the same two token model as gnosis' gno/owl. spank is a staking token and booty is a dollar-pegged stablecoin which can be used to pay the platform fees. for every period all the collected fees are tallied and burned which results into minting of new booty. spankbank is going live in about a week.
