SHILL

You dont buy crypto? Then what gains? HEY EVERYONE I FOUND THE SHILL!

BoilerBuddy

WHATS WITH THE MOONPAY SHILL!? Every time I call it out, mods delete my comment - super disingenuous

F0rtysxity

A little sensitive no? If you scroll up the question was what happens if they roll it back. Not are they going to roll it back. I'd be willing to bet $10k in a smart contract that will expire in 3 months to pay out that if Vitalik Buterin came out and said we must roll back he could gather consensus and get it passed. Maybe with another fork and maybe with endless outcry but he could get it through. Put your $ where your mouth is or your endless SHILL. Or whatever you were trying to say.

When someone does the ‘What is your favourite coin’ post it gets hundreds of altcoin shillers So I’m going to try a different way: SHILL ME YOUR FAVORITE SHITCOIN, COME ON !!

Bothan_Spy

My favorite is SHILL. It has a strong community and a lot of big things are coming. It’s basically programmed to go up only, and my friend says his uncle who works at Nintendo told him if you push the truck near the SS Anne, Satoshi will re-emerge and crown SHILL the new BTC while Albert Einstein claps, and Jesus raptures all SHILL holders to the great blockchain in the sky Buy before you miss the boat. NFA, DYOR

Because FOMO SHILL PUMP does make it a good coin… it will go back to what it was in due time.

DramaticLibrarian151

I WILL TOTALLY SHILL $CHEESE if you missed gme, btc, eth, doge this is your chance.

KateR_H0l1day

No, that is not the intention of the post, the intention is to debate, have a conversation, share thoughts, or even insight into what is expected during the next 15 months. The intent is definitely not to SHILL any one, or more coins/tokens, plenty of posts doing that if you want to find a new coin to FOMO into!

"You're bitching and moaning that BRICS has to be better" When the actual fuck did I say that??? 😂 I love how the mere possibility of a western bias sends you into "YOURE A BRICS SHILL" mode, jfc lmao

Background-Paper-686

Nope. I'm giving you an opportunity to SHILL ME and EVERYONE ELSE READING the meme coin that BEATS Catgirl BASED on Vitalik's post IN The CMC Top 1000. Can you name any or...?

Why would.u even buy this... SHILL!

RumpleHelgaskin

The original “influencers” prior to TikTok and Instagram! Getting paid to SHILL the public on subjects or products that corps, politicians, and the wealthy want disseminated to the public.

TheRealRealThang

Mitch Ray. IMO, honest, observant, discusses the real topics. Doesn't SHILL anything, ever.

It's already succeeding with real world adoption despite struggling with retail hype. Retail was always an afterthought for Algorand, and it's done a shit job marketing in that area. Price action will happen eventually. With zero downtime, instant finality, no forking/double spending, and no FAILED TRANSACTIONS. This concludes my "shill" effort, I now return you to the previously scheduled program of SHILL FEST 2023 (hype campaign) for all other chains, already well in progress.

By staking ATOM, you are able to vote in Cosmos Hub governance decisions, but that is about it. There doesn't seem to be much reason to actually hold it other than it might go up or down and thus you could sell it. For context, other projects require their token to be used for fees or NFT sales.

To me, this is a massive red flag. I can find transactions on several sites quite easily, but not being able to find statistics showing me the total number of wallets created, and what percentage of them are currently being used seems impossible.

Reaching a top of around 0.6 % of the Crypto market in February, it now sits at 0.3 %. All altcoins will lose dominance in a bear market, but you would want the crypto to hold its own in the class as much as possible.

Once again, they list all the projects built on top of the blockchain. The bonded tokens provided on mintscan also seem to correlate to this value. The highest individual TVL seems to CRONOS or KAVA, but I personally dont believe the locked tokens on an individual project on a blockchain should count towards the TVL on another chain. This is not necessarily a bad thing about the TVL for the ecosystem, but it begs the question again, what is the point of holding the ATOM token? > DECENTRALISATION - Some validators have too much control of the network > There are currently \~175 validators which is gives a Nakamoto Co-efficient of just 7. This is roughly the same level of decentralisation as Binance and is a terrible score. COSMOS really needs to increase the numbers of validators quickly because the distribution of tokens across the staking validators is a significant risk. > Nakamoto Coefficient > BIGGEST COMPETITION - Polkadot still higher in most cases > All cryptos are essentially in some sort of competition with each other.

Depending on snapshots, you could get lucky with an airdrop that goes ballistic. > > > SOURCE INFLATION SUPPLY TODAY SUPPLY LAST YEAR > Messari 26.60 % 286,370,297 226,186,564 > Coinmarketcap 26.66 % 286,370,297 226,127,431 > Mintscan 13.82 % 313,077,417 Not provided > Atomscan 13.82 % Not provided Not provided > Cosmoscan 13.81 % 319,984,721.29 Not provided > UTILITY - Limited use. There is no reason to hold the token other than speculation > There is actually very little utility for the ATOM token. By staking ATOM, you are able to vote in Cosmos Hub governance decisions, but that is about it. There doesn't seem to be much reason to actually hold it other than it might go up or down and thus you could sell it. For context, other projects require their token to be used for fees or NFT sales. According to cryptofees, the COSMOS chain doesn't seem to actually make any money, the projects built on it do - which still doesn't seem to give a reason to hold ATOM. > DAILY ACTIVITY - It is a mystery! > Try as I might, I could not find statistics anywhere about how many addresses are actually being used on the COSMOS chain. To me, this is a massive red flag. I can find transactions on several sites quite easily, but not being able to find statistics showing me the total number of wallets created, and what percentage of them are currently being used seems impossible. This is a massive issue in terms of transparency on the chain. > Transactions > For what its worth, the average transactions seems fairly consistent, but until I can see the number of wallets that are active, I have no way of knowing if any of these are real users, bots, or just staking rewards. > MARKETCAP DOMINANCE - Falling all year > Obviously the entire crypto asset class is down this year, but if you compare like for like, you can still get a sense of whether the token is holding up well or not. > The marketcap dominance for COSMOS is roughly half of what it was at the beginning of the year. Reaching a top of around 0.6 % of the Crypto market in February, it now sits at 0.3 %. All altcoins will lose dominance in a bear market, but you would want the crypto to hold its own in the class as much as possible. Dropping 50% is not a good thing. > The dominance picked up prior to the announcement of 2.0, but has since fallen away again. > Marketcap dominance > TOTAL VALUE LOCKED - Where is it? > This value helps understand how many people are staking COSMOS and in a sense how commited investors are to the project. Yet once again this is a figure that is difficult to ascertain. > According to DefiLlama, there is no reported TVL directly for the ATOM token. Once again, they list all the projects built on top of the blockchain. The bonded tokens provided on mintscan also seem to correlate to this value. The highest individual TVL seems to CRONOS or KAVA, but I personally dont believe the locked tokens on an individual project on a blockchain should count towards the TVL on another chain. This is not necessarily a bad thing about the TVL for the ecosystem, but it begs the question again, what is the point of holding the ATOM token? > DECENTRALISATION - Some validators have too much control of the network > There are currently \~175 validators which is gives a Nakamoto Co-efficient of just 7. This is roughly the same level of decentralisation as Binance and is a terrible score. COSMOS really needs to increase the numbers of validators quickly because the distribution of tokens across the staking validators is a significant risk. > Nakamoto Coefficient > BIGGEST COMPETITION - Polkadot still higher in most cases > All cryptos are essentially in some sort of competition with each other. Due to the rationale, goals and purpose the blockchain, the biggest competitor to COSMOS is likely POLKADOT. > Again, the crypto asset class is down, by comparing marketcap dominance, Polkadot is still more than double the marketcap of COSMOS. > While Polkadot actually has about half the number of validators as COSMOS, the staking mechanism results in a much better Nakamoto-Coefficient of 85. This means Polkadot is 12 times more decentralised than Cosmos. > \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > CONCLUSION: > Holding the ATOM token is pretty much only for speculation - you may get some free stuff or see the price rise. > TLDR: Just read the bold headlines ***** Would you like to learn more?

I once created my account at Kucoin to Buy a shitcoin named "$SHILL".

Every_Hunt_160

But if it's a way to control the population even more, and a way to centralise power like CBDCs? SHILL !

WineMakerBg

You have a point. There is only one active banner. It's meant to be used by a business entity. \[SHILL\] tag will serve as an increased market demand and increase banner cost. (more demand - higher price).

Every_Hunt_160

Always remember: The ‘Crypto influencer’ doesn’t actually do any research, he is just a PAID SHILL that is sponsored to shill you the project YOU are the product that is making the yield for the Scam-fluencer, he is not trying to make you money.

Because the cries of SHILL and CENTRALIZED and SCAM drown us out. I'm still stacking. I don't care about the noise.

(This comment section is depressing. About 10% have read the rules of what they have to do, 90% just comment shit. OP said SHILL your favorite coin. Yet you have people who can't even grasp simple concepts and would comment anything for moons. I came here ready to have some fun reading comments and there's nothing to read almost.)

SHILL because of its grassroots, community-based marketing

Yall are some hardcore conspiracy therioists if i've ever seen some. All i did was ask if it was a scam or not and "SHILL, SHILL,SHILL," yall need a hug or something.

Wait till you see the Polygon ANTI-SHILL I 've been writing....

The SHILL

szerted

Definitely love ANTI-SHILL series! Keep up the great work! It's always nice seeing such quality content in here, helps learning step by step

gnarley_quinn

Remember the point of an ANTI-SHILL is to try and make it sound like there project is not worth investing. There is no way I could provide data backed evidence with a negative perspective on something that hasn’t happened yet.

gnarley_quinn

Well that didn't take long, how many others want to see a Polygon ANTI-SHILL ?

Trylks

Well… you should not have done that. I hope it was decentralized and not FTX related. There are many companies and brands adopting crypto and NFTs, start with that. Then finish with Zuckerberg, he made Facebook, boomers love Facebook. Surely your brother in law doesn't have a comparable net worth, expertise,… **DON'T SHILL THE METAVERSE** Just mention it, and distract the attention about how the top 1% and the bottom 99% have different _perspectives_ about the future of technology. Time will tell who is right…

KnackeredParrot

Happy to give OP the benefit of the doubt if a newbie. Just my sceptical radar was pinging. There have _literally_ been hundreds of posts where someone says I need X that can do A B C. I haven't found any that can except SHILL. If they then ask for more it's usually because they know others don't exist.

Electronic_Emu_7975

what did you not understand when I said CALLED SHILL GROUP?

Don't forget FOMO and SHILL.

Shill? SHILL?! I resent the accusation! I’m merely a simple krak pusher ma’am.

MaximumStudent1839

You are too emotionally attached to your investment. And don't shill crypto at workplace. Nothing good comes from it. In fact, DON'T SHILL AT ALL. Educate them if you want to learn. Don't shove it in their face if they don't care. Shoving things down people's throats is an absolutely annoying behavior - regardless of the topic.

GhostOfMcAfee

Which coin? BTC? ETH? ALGO? MATIC? Somebody comes along and finds a way to unite those chains and your response is to holler SHILL!. But for which one. Your non-responsive reply is sad. If you have a substantive response, give it. I literally asked if any other chain, anywhere, had a similar solution. Your response is to just post alternating fonts that call me a shill. That is not how reasonable people discuss topics.

Mentions rocketpool once in the sentence. *SHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* what? Dude gave a separate answer to other dude's situation. Thats like: "Hey where is a good spot to get ice cream?" *"oh, Millie's down the street is good"* "Why you shilling your ice cream at me bro?"

Current state of the economy=brink of a recession. Former fed chairman who led us into QE with no remorse, makes comment on btc. Are we speculating that this guy has anything worth listening to? Im curious why this is here? SHILL. ?

maystor_99

rofl, another shit SHILL post. But this is shill for major shit coin - BitCON. These crypto guys are delusional. Bitcoin is useless. Its useless as P2P cash as your jesus Satoshi Nakamoto have written in his fake bibble. So when that ship has sailed, bitcon con mans, promote it as a store of value. With that it fails also. It doesnt store value at all, store of value means things like gold ya know - gold is store of value cause its liquid and you can withdraw it without 50x losses or wins, and it keeps solid pace with inflation: thats the fucking point of store of value. So, PARDON me, its not completely useless. It has its use as a massive pump and dump scheme offering nothing as an asset, but hey, its offering insiders massive profits. Exchanges are fixed with its fake bitcoins synthetic price. Rarity argument is hilarious. Just cause its rare it doesnt mean nothing without having any value, and bitcoin does not have any value. You may try to respond like - hey it has value cause people believe in it. No, people dont believe in it, they know its shitcoin, they want to make money on it, again, profit calculated in US dollars or other FIAT currency which you spend on everyday things. Only if you count its value from massive electricity consumed, then it has value - useless electricity spent lol. Even as your jesus satoshi wrote in his paper the way he visioned bitcon as a P2P cash, bitcon FAILS on every single aspect of it since cash transactions are also free and anonymus and never permanently stored on a public ledger lol. Dorks gonna reply now, lightning network durr durr... another con. Nobody is going to lift bitcons node and open layers and channels. Maybe in 1992. Not in 2022. So yea, bitcoin was fun in 1992 when you connected with dial ups and shit. Self claim fixe of the corrupt banking and political system - turns out to be even worse. Even worse in a sense it gives people hope. You need me to embrace that piece of shit technology so you can unload your bags on the next sucker in line. Cause none of yall believe in that crap. You just keep building your sect so you can unload your bitcoin onto them, and they can unload on to the other, etc. etc. And thats the sort of people i really dont like - bullshit sellers. At least be a man and have balls to say "Yes, I am a part of that bullshit seller script which sells you bullshit for 50 000 dollars ". Thats cool. But to be a dirty piece of shit bullshit seller. Pathetic. Would love to meet ya in real life pricks. PS. I didnt loose any money on Luna and I'm not pissed off, just real. Im here for those who might buy this bullshit con story and loose their money. NOBODY ACCEPTS BITCON, neither will they ever, but - EVERYBODY DOES CASH. ​ And Im gonna bookmark this post and make back up of it, just so I dont have to type against this bullshit sellers again, copy paste is easier :) Have a nice day.

MaximumStudent1839

This is so fucking hopeless. NOT EVERYTHING SEC DOES IS BAD!!! Nvidia is a bunch of liars to say GPU mining is not a significant part of their revenue. They are MISLEADING their shareholders that the upcoming ETH merge has no significant impact on their profit. You know it is all hogwash once you see scalpers dropping GPU prices as the ETH difficulty bomb approaches in summer. Crypto is about revolting against Big Boys cheating out everyone with their deficits. Don't SHILL for these criminals!!!!!
