Current Price: $0.235 ATH: $0.93 on January 4th, 2018 Current CMC Ranking: #6
What’s happening?
>COINBASE LISTING - Currently Pending >STRONGHOLD USD - IBM building Stellar dependent “stablecoin” pegged to USD >stellar.expert (Analytics) >Fairx.io (Pending trading site) >StellarX.com (Pending trading site) >Stellarterm.com (Stellar Decentralized Exchange) >Stellarport.io (Stellar Decentralized Exchange) >Lightyear.io (Stellar for-profit unit)
Benefits of Stellar:
>ICOs and smart-contracts. Not Turing-complete like ETH, but far easier to use >faster than all other networks (without pending lighting network integration) >decentralized (in governance, coin distribution and validation) >anyone can run a node >war chest for developers and worldwide distribution >transaction cost = effectively $0.00001 >strongly backed by IBM, Tempo >Stellar consensus protocol: 1000s tx/s (global scale) >Stellar forces the use of XLM as the cost for using the network >1% annual inflation distributed weekly to those who own XLM (lumenaut.net/) >compatible with ledger (stellar.org/account-viewer/#!/) >LOBSTR mobile wallet for IOS and Android (lobstr.co/#start-section)
Popular ICOs on Stellar: >Mobius (MOBI) >Smartlands (SLT) >Sureremit (RMT)
What’s the bottom line? >Stellar has an opportunity to break out into the top 5 coins by being what Ripple was supposed to be. A fast, cheap and simple cryptocurrency that can function well for both fintech and everyday people. Stellar is ready to go right now. Not tomorrow, not in 2 years, and not hypothetically.
How sure are you? I’m all in xlm atm. Bought in stupidly at .26
Jack Lopez
remeber fairx? it was never released. doubt this stronghold shit will release either, its all pnd hype
Luis Hall
Me? I'm very sure. Even if ETH "scales" it will still have speed issues. I think it will be used when you need a Turing system. XLM is going to match visa when lightning is implemented.
FairX is just one of many projects on Stellar. Its not required for success. The key to XLM is that unlike ETH, it's ready to go today. Real shit is being built. Not chinkcoins and shitty dapps.
pic related this is how xrp looks like also >implying stellar isnt a banker coin just go to stellar.org/ and the first thing you read is >Stellar is a platform that connects banks really makes me think.jpg you got memed into buying a "coin for the people" when in fact xlm tries to archieve the same thing as xrp
Also network analysis laws strongly suggest that pic related is just fine for starting off. In fact, that's WAY BETTER than might be expected if something were wrong. Networks connect organically as they grow, and a big component starts to form eventually. The number of nodes in your big component is very large, and in fact it already implies that the multiple components that might have existed at one point already interconnected enough to form a single interconnected main component. With additional nodes added to the network, this will not result in additional disconnected components. Instead, the advantages for connecting to the main component will continue to increase...and the advantages of the main component will increase exponentially, not linearly, because that's how networks work. I literally know nothing about XLM but I do know about network dynamics and log node connections. your chart makes me want to invest in this. You are providing evidence against your hypothesis, not for it.
Tyler Torres
kek, that is bitcoin not xrp you absolute brainlet
>You are providing evidence against your hypothesis if you compare both pics, which looks more decentralized? that was the point i was proving, user was defending xlm by calling xrp centralized are you ignoring that user called xrp centralized to defend xlm? when in fact xlm is vastly more centralized than xrp i never said bitcoin was decentralized, and by your pic, i would say it is not it is very easy for you to just say "all the nodes are owned by ripple :^)" but you didnt provide any source the xrp network has 263 validators and only 16 are owned by ripple minivalist.cinn.app/ slide the "default unl only" option
Asher Ortiz
so if bitcoin isn't a decentralized network, please name one :^)

How the fuck is it a problem to distribute coins to individuals who are more likely to use them? To anyone honestly. People are more likely to use shit when they are given it. Fucking Wang and Chinua are not gonna buy stellar or any crypto when they dont know what the fuck they are.
That process is slow. They're not going to dump billions on the market at once.
Fucking Marta at the mexican market and hipster Matt are not going to use XLM unless they have a reason. Kali will those because he doesn't even have (((banks))).
Stellar is playing a long game. Not the type of bullshit long game that shitcoins make excuses for their work not getting done (mozarella), but an actual chance at worldwide adoption.
Other than that, FUD for Stellar consists of muh darkies using the coin. Nobody cares what some frogposting Jow Forums faggot thinks about that. KYS.
??? lol nigga the nodes have to be chosen by Ripple themselves. It's completely centralized. That's ok I'm because that's what ripple is. Trying to argue that it's decentralized is retarded.
Lol wealth distribution? There is no wealth in Stellar today brainlet.
It's called a customer acquisition cost. Giving Ahmed a couple of Lumens as an incentive to use the network and tell his friends is a shitload better strategy then fucking moonboys and "hype".
Stellar airdrop to BTC holders was extremely successful, note the ever increasing rank of the coin.
You should honestly go back to Jow Forums and kys. This is money, not your fucking race war fantasy you cocksucking faggot.
default UNL* the unl list is the list of *recommended* nodes to trust, validators that have been up for a while and have never proposed malicious transactions any validator can pick the nodes they trust, no matter if the node is not in the validator list
Christian Richardson
>Giving Ahmed a couple of Lumens 80% of the total supply is not "a couple of Lumens" you fucking retard
>as an incentive to use the network Niggers are not going to use the stallar network. They're going to market sell that shitcoin for something that they can actually spend in their local economy
>Stellar airdrop to BTC holders was extremely successful The majority of the coins were unclaimed and returned to the stellar foundation. And there's a big difference between airdropping to relatively wealthy people who already understand how crypto works, and a bunch of 75 IQ monkeys in africa.
>You should honestly go back to Jow Forums and kys. >hurrr everyone I don't like is Jow Forums Enjoy your SJW welfare coin
Easton Foster
>There is a difference between being a (((banker))) coin and a coin that can be used by banks. the diference is that jed knew that advertising stellar as a coin for the people would get the support of the bitcoin community, as soon as stellar mooned and got some adoption the narrative changed
Isaac Miller
>80%
Those lumens are given to:
>Developers to develop >Plebs (50-300 XLM) >Partners
All things that help the network grow.
>Niggers are not going to...
lol Jow Forums faggot. Jesus fucking Christ why would anyone take financial advice from a frogposting, basement dwelling NEET who can't get a Stacy?
This is the worst fud I've ever seen. You actually hate money because African people may use it.
Stay poor fag. You're not only going to die poor but die alone.
There own website says they give out small amounts of lumens to folks who can use them over a decade.
I have over 100k lumens. It's not gonna dilute my shit. I'm conservative about XLMs future, but even succeeding in a fraction of their ventures puts the coin well over $1. Maybe $5.
The success of the Stellar network does not mean that the value of Lumens will increase. Just look at USD adoption over the past two centuries relative to its gold value.
Luis Stewart
as a investor there is no reason to buy xlm instead of directly answering the question they came up with some elaborated mental gymnastics to make you buy in this money redistribution scheme and move on, away from the unanswered question >you may buy and use lumens to learn about cryptocurrency, experiment with operations kek
