-	My money in Crypto: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/73yuf8/this_is_me_trading_crypto/ Where did it go? 
-	The amount of people running core nodes is spiking with the uncertain fork approaching: https://coin.dance/nodes/core It’s at its highest level we’ve seen in the last 2 years and likely to continue to climb even more as we approach November. 
-	This is interesting: https://bitflyer.jp/en-us/?top_link The largest exchange in Japan. 
-	What do I think of Salt? Something to consider that the average cost of salt during the ICO was a anywhere from 25 cents to $1, some going for as much as $5 each, which is a bit wild. 
-	Salt is a lending platform, but not BitConnect style. I’m talking cold hard fiat. It’s meant to leverage your crypto assets and offer a competitive interest rate. It begs the question why you couldn’t just sell your assets, but I can see a market for this. I for example still have a loan taken out when I first purchased Bitcoin at $2500, but I’m in no rush to pay off that loan because the gains of Bitcoin beat the interest I’m paying. 
-	But what is the coin used for? I don’t know. I spent like half an hour trying to find it. The website says membership, that seems like too weak of a reason to create a new cryptocurrency. If you know, let us know. Also, if you happen to know why this needs a blockchain in the first place, that would be good too. Apart from it being a great way to print money of course.
-	This is where something like https://www.cryptocribs.com/  is refreshing, no new currency you need to be able to buy to use the rooms, they accept ether and bitcoin. 
-	Another lending platform crypto is Elixir. Probably best viewed as the cheaper alternative to Salt, Regal Coin being the cheaper alternative to BitConnect. 
-	Are cheaper alternatives ever going to work long term? If you look at Litecoin for example, they were the cheaper alternative, but innovated slightly to be a bit different. That’s what’s key here I believe, it’s not enough to just be a cheaper alternative. It can work for a pump, but long term it needs to be more than the cheaper alternative.
-	This is where my mind starts wandering off to other directions. 
-	Obsidian is not something currently on the top 100, but I think is a good project. I got into the ICO but I guess I forgot to mention it. I don’t know why. Oh, because I hadn’t started my channel yet I think. Anyway, it’s a platform where programmers can create decentralized apps using C# programming language with a privacy priority. One of the first apps is Obsidian messaging, where messages are private and you can transfer tokens via it too. Make sure you do your own research, link below if you’d like to check out their website. 
-	Time to turn on the BAT signal? Eheheheh. It’s been steadily rising since an update on the Mercury upgrade, and today news about the platform nearining rollout: https://basicattentiontoken.org/first-phase-of-the-basic-attention-token-platform-nears-rollout/ This is the update bringing actual use case to the scene, where you can get rewarded in BAT for watching ads. If you’d like to learn more link below. 
-	To be honest with you guys, alt coins right now are a gamble, more so than usual. I just see a lot of uncertainty coming with the November fork and alt coins generally don’t do well when there’s uncertainty. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, it’s still more than a month away. 
-	Which leads onto this quote which is blowing my mind ‘We devote our intelligence to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be’ – Maynard Keynes. So true. So essentially traders chase the next big thing that is conventionally accepted to be a good idea, the fundamental reality doesn’t intrude all that much. Which is hilarious. https://i.imgur.com/9insece.png 
-	I’m not saying that this is generally a bad thing. Well I guess it is, but as long as enough people are doing it there is money to be made. Markets are driven by sentiment and popularity. For example, I was told a few weeks ago Walton was going to be big. So, I bought some. No research. How many times does that happen? And you’re not punished, but rewarded? It’s such a strange time to be alive. Where a guy like me, can get lucky and have a career from posting videos I felt like sharing after 3 months. When there’s so many people out there that work to death and have nothing to show for it. 
-	Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Roman philosopher Seneca said that. Crypto being one of the biggest opportunities of our lifetime. I encourage you to be prepared to take advantage of it. So that if you aren’t already, you can get lucky too. 
-	No not like that.
