It's possible, since AXA is actually an innovator in this space. Check out Fizzy if you haven't, it's an AXA project that uses smart contracts for flight insurance, and as far as I know it wasn't announced yet when these contracts were deployed on SmartContract.com.
That being said, as the guy who originally uncovered the hackathon thing, it doesn't make sense that they would use AXA's logo for a hackathon if they wanted to keep a real partnership under wraps, and it doesn't make sense that they would neglect to mention such a prestigious partnership if they were trying to win the hackathon.
Also I've uncovered an old powerpoint used by Sergey that included contracts from other big players, including Maersk and Macy's (pic related). When I checked the contract address he had changed the names to generic ones, like "Global Supplier" and "Large Buyer, Inc." I think he just got in the habit of using real companies as placeholders, not realizing autists on the internet would uncover them and read so much into it.

So institutional-level money are starting to be admitted into exchanges. More secure, regulation-friendly exchanges (such as the one you alluded to) are coming online soon to help facilitate this. It would follow that they would begin to buy in at as low a price point as possible. Is it reasonable to expect another (final) dip in BTC/ETH as per the meme chart/return to mean?

>>7745096
that's extremely plausible. Too bad, the only other real reason to think they had anything to do with axa was "insiders," though fizzy is on ethereum so chainlink could be an option

>>7745145

It would not be unreasonable, if I were to use an analogy then imagine a hostage hand off, the exchanges are handing off BTC for a suitcase full of money, and the institutions are about to make her their slave. During this very high tensity situation it could very well happen that bullets start flying and she gets injured, but they definitely won't let her die.

I'm going to actually stop drinking now haha.

Thanks AB, really appreciate your time.

Quick thoughts on QASH and the World Book? They were the first exchange that came to my mind last thread but they're not European.

>>7744904
AB what are your thoughts on our boy Sminem?
Can I get a quick run down for AB

>>7736231
if you had all the inside knowledge , why won't you use it for your own gain ? why would you risk it to share it with a bunch of autists ?

>>7737422
This makes me sad, but it’s probably true.

hey AB you didn't get a chance to answer this last thread
are linkies going to fuck this over by doxxing and harassing potential link partners at IBM, swift, etc?

>>7745316
he is. hes buying link

>>7745316
this is how humanity works. some people pay it forward anon.
also, if he has a horde of true believers also buying under him, the network only gains value.

>>7745327

Yeah man biz is going to doxx IBM and SWIFT. Might as well just sell now.

>>7744809
It's CoinMetro. They're looking to be the next Coinbase, with crypto ETFs, and they have the chops to pull it off (they also operate an established Forex market).

>>7745363
someones been missing the multiple threads of people raiding chainlink fund and linkedin to harass everyone potentially involved with link

>>7745272

>10% to 'angel investors'

Pure cancer. Not to mention a very sketchy roadmap:

Q2-Q4:
Beta version of the exchange online (Q2)
BACE tokens are tradeable (Q2)
The Final version of the exchange is online
International banking partnerships
First ICO's listed on BACE

So the formatting isn't very professional, grouping Q2-Q4 in a roadmap makes it seem vague, that's a huge window. What international bank partnerships? Sounds like an easy promise to back out of, and First ICO's listed, don't estimate WHEN an ICO will be listed if you don't have one in mind. Simply state when the platform launches.

Bace is a joke, do better research, even the little things I pointed out can spell trouble for an ICO.

>>7745096
Totally possible, I'm not delusional. But if he changes the old placeholders, why did he not change the AXA one? Especially since the most recent contract was from December 31, 2017?

>>7745415
The ico has ended recently and the tokens aren't on exchanges right

>>7737600
Ripple and Chainlink do two completely different things. Don't see how they're related.
>>7745415
What's your opinion on the interledger project?

>>7745462

Because, the implication I believe, is that AXA is legitimate and the other ones were placeholders.

>>7745478

Hasn't started yet. No more questions about this new exchange, you should decide to buy it because you like it, not because I shilled it. Read the team and the WP.

>>7736231
AB, if you are still here, you just got blasted on JNT.

>>7745415
i guess im actually retarded because everything ive searched yields no results. sorry i failed u ab at least i have 5k linkies

>>7745462
also Sergey often gives the flight delays as one of the use cases for smart contracts

>>7745498

A protocol is not an exchange, from my understand interledger is almost as ambitious as LN, since it wants to be able to allow for interchain transactions. It will be interesting if it works out but it doesn't really affect any of the aspects of blockchain I'm particularly interested in.

>>7744599
there u go anon

>>7745508

admiral blaster nobody thinks you are a shill, you just valuable insight that gives context to a lot of things you are having us research. bless u either way

>>7745531
It's down 15% in sats since this thread started, additionally I never said it'd go down in price, only delusional liars claim to predict price movements over short timeframes without direct inside knowledge. Either way it's trash and will go down eventually.

>>7745462
I'm guessing he figured it was too late, since the AXA contracts had already been discovered and publicized. Although I don't know why he wouldn't clear up any confusion publicly. He probably wanted to prevent more rumors around a Maersk partnership from starting.
To be clear, I'm not FUDing. Link is my second largest hold. But from my research most of the partnership rumors are overblown, with the most promising possible exception being DocuSign. There's more than meets the eye there, but I'm still in the midst of my investigation so I don't have anything solid to reveal yet.

>>7745579

i figured it wasnt xcm cuz he said he has 30% of his stack in it and the ico hasnt started yet. maybe yet again im just a retard idk. either way bless u too

>>7745794
I also noticed this anon. Unless there was a private presale. It's the main (I'm guessing public) token sale that's not started yet. Xcm looks like the one

>>7745658
How can i get a hold of you on discord?

>>7745893
lol dont even try

>>7745869
there were presales and flash sales for xcm so it's probably the one

>>7745933
I am doing him a favor.

>>7745980

Send me whatever discord link you have here: a7d8bt+1uj02miq3tozw@sharklasers.com

I'm actually curious to see what an 'almighty' group you have, full of finance 'insiders' like me.

>>7745938

I would never endorse a coin that had a private sale, flash sales on the other hand, would be totally kosher.

>>7745869
ya i checked im a retard, they had a pre token sale dec 21st to jan 21st

>>7745564
The interledger is project is more ambitious. LN is a system that increases btc transaction speeds. Interledger is intended to connect nodes of all payment types i.e. bank to crypto, crypto to crypto, bank to bank, using the underlying ledger. Pretty much creating a massive transaction extranet. Nodes would act like traditional hosting servers and would allow those that host the node to get paid out in their currency of choice. I honestly believe that's what we'll use in the future if they can actually pull it off, it's just that one dev worked for ripple, the other created a system that had serious security flaws

>>7745508
>Because, the implication I believe, is that AXA is legitimate and the other ones were placeholders.

Yup. Exactly the point I was making to the other anon. Obviously speculative, but it seems strange that they were all changed yet this one remains.

>>7746076

Right I'm comparing it to LN not in the size of its scope, but in the likelihood of it realising it's ambitions, i.e. very little to none.

>>7746123
What're your thoughts on Dennis possibly leaving Always Sunny for A.P. bio

>>7746076
To clarify, LN doesn't actually increase tx speeds, its to be used to create payment channels to decongest the network

>>7745938
>>7745869
He's not denying it outright.

check >>7745415
for when I mentioned bace

Regardless if it's the one he is talking about coinmetro sounds dope as fuck. I might grab some coins.

>>7746123
Thoughts on NAS? Seems like could be a legit contender in dApp platforms and different enough from ETH that they could coexist (NEO and others too similar IMO). Only problem is they are relying on LN for scalability which makes me hesitant

>>7746123
do you think link will ever reach the memed 1k price? lol

>>7739960
>Gaddafi
Boy do i have news for you

capping off an epic thred

>>7746123
are you more for bigger blocks in the btc debate then?
