Let's cut through the shilling and fudding and just talk FACTS. I want to have a real discussion on this project. If you'd like to contribute, please contribute FACTS.

Some positives:

>Low market cap (~15-20mil)
>only been trading for a week or so
>only on one lower volume exchange
>fluffypony (Monero) offering technical advice on the architecture
>devs are active with community and will be releasing a new roadmap with "new apps, team members, exchanges, and more"
>wallet and staking already available and working

In my opinion, these are positives because they show good room for growth.


Some negatives:

>huge shilling and fudding campaigns going on
>obvious manipulation of price (by whales and/or pump groups?) and current volume is not enough to overcome this
>very volatile coin, not uncommon to see ~30% swings in either direction
>skepticism around actual development progress and project leader

In my opinion, these are big negatives that may stunt growth and turn people away from the project.

What are your opinions on this project? Holding some? Staying away? Save the shilling, fudding, and fake screenshots for another thread. I want to discuss here.

People point out the low market cap pretty often, but that's still many times greater than other shitcoins like Elixir. Why is there this assumption that this coin 'will be' 150m+? I don't understand it.

Obsidian is a blockchain platform that apps can be built on to it.

These dApps really are the thing that contribute to value, if no one uses it then of course it won't grow much.

this

Obsidian is its own blockchain, ODN is used to operate it, it has staking and masternodes

and its one of the few products with an actual functioning product, not just a "alpha demo version" you can try or just plain promises like chain link

Elixir is just a erc-20 token, its unfair to compare those two coins

>> No.3767494

PRO
1. If they launch a mobile messenger that also allows you to transfer ODN, we're talking about Monero market cap here.
2. If more dapps are built on this platform (think black market shit), we're talking about 10+ billion market cap

CONS
1. Building shit is hard and takes time. People might lose interest and crash this shit before it reaches its potential.
2. The team is shit at marketing. If they don't hire someone good at this, it surely won't help.

EXTRA
If governments of the world start cracking down on crypto to the point of making it very dificult for normies to acces, Obsidian will keep on living and will actually thrive.

ODN was always a long term hold, this is like buying ethereum when it was still below 1$

the fact that the messenger is already working, is very assuring, it just needs to be incorperated into the blockchain, and ported to ios and android

obviously whales knows this and is manipulating the hell out of the coin to establish a decent position

theres literally big stairway orders on cryptopia now, i have never seen that shit on crappy low tier garbage exchanges before

If the messenger is off-chain, how does it find the peer to send the message to? And how? Does the message travel through masternodes?

implementing a fully anonymous payment system into an anonymous messenger is pretty much basic stuff, but nobody did it yet. For Android, iOS and Windows, desktop and mobile as well.

-leave no traces as far as possible
-Secure Anonymous Messenger, not Facebook 5.0
-the blockchain is not optimized for anonymity
-but the messenger client and the messaging nodes _are_ optimized for anonymity
-so, everything what's to do with messaging, and you can call it the messaging platform, is secure and anonymous
