Blockchain mainstream now picking up on the current demise of Polkadot & as a point ,Solana might not tickle the fancy the the Dynamic Dou but they are serious competition to DOT

Polkadot is making headway slower compared to "Ethereum killer" competitors Solana and Cardano +analysts expect a further price drop in DOT after the altcoin lost its support.

KR1 strategy of having a hefty portion of backing *All things Polkadot* inside the pf might not be rewarded as much as previous forecast ,Somebody commented on lack of diversification in other protocols like Avalanche ( up 300% last 3 weeks ),Solana ( up 200% last 30 days ) Luna up ( again 200% last 30 days ) Cardano ( 120% last 30 days ) These protocols are achieving new ATH,s ,Whilst DOT is struggling to go above 50% of its ATH, Whilst nobody can question the sheer brilliance of Gavin Wood or the Dynamic Duo in investing ,Its not always the case that the Best or longevity of its development guarantees top sucsess or adoption as a Decentralized Finance protocol ,The complacency in not launching the Polkadot Parachains as expected (Q1 21 and now it looks it might not even start in 2021 ) might come back to bite Mr GW and KR1,Look at ICP struggling to gain traction despite its very strong appeal ,The delay has cost Dominic Williams dear ,Even the Kusama parachain launch is not without controversy ,Some of the protocols are looking at a diverse strategy should they not secure a slot in the second or even third tranche of auctions ,Are they expected to hang around like Polkadot to await progress and be surpassed in the race to DeFi adoption whilst awaiting a parachain slot ?
Cardano will soon have DeFi sidechains of there own that will be interoperable into ETH & BTC and other protocols like Polygon ,Solana has come within less that $2B MC of DOT currently at $26.48B and looks like it will move ahead
I dont profess to have a deep knowledge of the race , But as my Layman's eye cannot deny Polkadot.s complacency is most definitely costing it traction in the race to adoption in the short to medium term ,Regardless of caliber of the tech and sheer development skills of its creator , Currently in the business acumen stakes Hoskinson is way ahead , KR1 steadfast belief in * All things Polkadot* might be tested in the coming months if the parachain methodology doesn't shake off this complacency

Hi Mando & Thanks
I have contacted !! over this and received a prompt response detailing a 30% withholding Tax will be implemented unless I fill the W-8BEN form reducing to 15% thereafter regardless of holding within the ISA umbrella, They did not satisfy my SIPP enquire though !! Best strategy would be to buy on the dips below 85/90 ( if possible ) so as to mitigate that 15%,I remember a few years ago holding an advisory account with Interactive Brokers that shockingly deducted a US holding tax on the gross ( not made clear on inception )

Many Thanks SD ,I will have to badger Interactive to gain clarity on there particular stance

Appreciate some clarity from holders here on the US holding tax issue ,After EQI became II I have not received any divi payments as yet from my blue chip investments and looking to take a position in DEC ,However the website gives a 30% US holding tax deduction warning ,Can Anybody in using III as broker clarify the position please , Is the full dive gross or net of us holding tx per quarter ?

Very Interesting prospective on the merits of ATOM V DOT ,The Dynamic Duo touched on this dilemma during the
Raoul Pal Chat

https://t.co/76qXMeYGsP?amp=1

Polkadot is favored over Cosmos ,However as KVS points out should Cosmos host the New Digital Euro ,Then Game On ,Either way Holders here will undoubtedly benefit from this thoroughbred race to the top
DOT broken through the $21 resistance ,,, Happy Days

KR1 PLC: Compelling investment opportunity in blockchain technology

Then click on the cached link

For those that missed out on this ( withdrawn post ) first time round
This Article is a fantastic detailed breakdown in what we are invested in ,For me its the best report Ive read on KR1 since Wexboy,s Masterpiece


It reiterates the words in franc,s post below ,Why they are called THE 100X Men

KR1 PLC: Compelling investment opportunity in blockchain technology

I feel KR1 provides us with excellent diversified exposure to this highly speculative but rapidly growing blockchain space. Their experienced management team has an extremely impressive long term track record of buying into the most promising and profitable blockchain projects.

What I also like about KR1 from an investment standpoint is that in effect we have two pillars of support and growth for our investment case: the value of the portfolio of digital assets being one but also the yield and revenues that the portfolio of assets can already generate by activities such as ‘staking’.

I,m no authority on listings ,
I recall Zac Mir ,, comment something like - Its akin to having Stephen Hawkins

( Stephen Hawking IQ is 160 and belongs to a genius group - only 0.003% of the world population. His life has inspired many people and brought enduring values with them)

Teaching Physics at a secondary modern
( only a vague recollection, and no disrespect to secondary modern pupils * Of which I, m one *

I take his comparison to mean how advanced and successful the BOD are and warrant a much higher status and level of operations
We all know these Guy,s are Top Class

Hi botski
When my pf was held in EQI ,The liquidity was for the most part 10K ,,Last few days on II could not even sell 1K ( dummy sell.s )
Aquis is for start up,s ,Soon in the not to distant future KR1 will become a Unicorn , Multi access from multi brokers is much more desirable than being stuck on a third rate access platform ,Obviously the BOD have there seasons to remain on Aquis for now ,What happens when the pf does reach the Billion $ mark Are we still to be languishing on a ( what did Zac Mir call Aquis ? ,He made a comparison ,Anyone ?
Regardless ,I,m glad you do not have any issues botski ,However I & others undauntedly do !
Hopefully one day with Regulation we might have the option of trading on Kraken under the ISA umbrella , Consult the Dynamic Dou on the in Vogue tokens and execute the trade to be held with the safety 24/7 liquid position Away from the pathetic restrictions ( and the few arrogant Rip off Brokers incomitance and negligence ) of not being able to sell 1000 of the 138 MILLION shares in Issue ,And witness some caci bum MM wipe off 3% of the value of that 138 million shares worth £180 Million on £15000 value of trades
Jeez !! Am I the only one who believes KR1 are destined for Great things and need to upgrade there current market status ?
Feel Free be controversial

Never any Malice intended on my part franc as always
No need to snap & hiss @ Me
We all know KR1 are in a very exposed precarious position lying on Aquis ,Its folly to think otherwise
It goes without saying GMcd & KVS are a pair of outstanding Managers ,And come across as genuinely nice and articulate but fun loving people
Whilst Aquis might suit those 2 ,It leaves shareholders exposed ,I hope not but I fear we might find out how exposed soon if those options start getting drip fed ,The MM,s will be well aware of the script

Deja Vu franc
Must be that time of the month again franc
Why do you persist on snapping like a ***** on Blob every time a post comes in thats not to your agenda ,Public bb are for dialogue ( apart from blatant de ramp )
Uhhh X 40 Bagger actually !
Now ,Both you and I know ,Along with other LTH that KR1 need to move off Aquis to gain traction and induce some liquidity ,Look even Wexboy keeps badgering them to move , What good is even a 200 bagger if its not liquid, We are all entitled to protect our Capital , The consequences of remaining on Aquis can be dire ,The lack of brokers and trading options are a huge deterrent,
Alas ,I,m sure you know all that franc
If you have an issue with Me then use Direct mail ,dont hiss your venom on here making out all is a bed of roses here ,Because its Not ,If your advising holders to move elsewhere ,Then you will end up with Jack **** ,Holding KR1,s tokens within your own portfolio is hugely more advantageous as its 100% liquid 24/7 and not subject to the whims of the MM,s tanking the SP on a tiny miniscule & of SII ,Granted KR1 is eligible for ISA umbrella and TBO that.s the only hard advantage for you me & Mr Magoo
Stick yer dummy back in franc ,Thats a Good Boy

BL, AS much as I hold GMcD & KVS in high esteem and know they are the Bees Knees at Grabbing Winners, There alignment with shareholders is not apparent, There focus is on the tech hence we STILL trade on an illiquid market like Aquis ,Its a graveyard in any sniff of a bear turn , + We have all these warrants sloshing about another 1million ready for dumping tmrw .The Big Sell must be Directors and follow on large sell,s
The BOD do not do any favor's to shareholders but run an outstanding crypto/blockchain /DeFi Fund very successfully ,
However !

A wee bit of security & liquidity all round would not go amiss

And there ye have it botski

If we factor ONLY
KR1,s DOT holding ,,The pf swells between $12 to $18m+ over the weekend
Alas KR1 share are ticked down 3 % ,,
Crazy World on Aquis

Bring it on - It is perhaps unsurprising that Polkadot is one of the projects attracting significant interest from professional investors.

Keld van Schreven, managing director at digital asset investment company KR1 recently spoke of his conviction that Polkadot is currently where it’s at for developers saying, “We’re seeing talent move on to Polkadot that was going to build on Ethereum […] I think it’s going to be one of the winners in the next few years, and then it’s going to last for maybe 100 years.”

The whole thread is KR1 related ,Thats the point !!! posters use this bb and Raoul Pal,s KR1 tweet to spit venom & hate ,That same tweet has obviously attracted incoming £££ to the SP here so long may it continue hopefully without the Keyboard warriors tough Guy behind the screen abuse
Looks like Shiden will take the next Kusama slot ,Can anyone confirm the number of available slots in the first batch ( is it 5 ? ) and favorites for following 2 places

Another Sico ,Jeez nothing to do with BLM ,Just online abuse
the below Enough said ,This is a KR1 forum info ( as was the Raoul tweet ) not an outlet for applications for Broadmoor

Not sure if anyone looked into the follow up tweets to Fridays,s KR1 chart tweet from Raoul Pal , I was aghast at the level of abuse and shocking obscene comments directed at Raoul ,,, OK the chart does not exactly highlight a Bullish short term trend but the whole of crypto is under pressure so I assume he picked some value in the graph
However we know KR1 are an outstanding outfit ,Yet some people were blasting them for no apparent reason save for they were mentioned by Raoul , There must be some real sick individuals out there ,I can now appreciate why some sport stars are shocked by abusive tweets ,Why would someone attack or abuse someone on social media just because the colour of there skin is not the same as there's ,Some football players have outstanding ability and contribute immensely to the feel goof factor of the UK ,Yet they get abuse ?? Same as the KR1 tweet , Why waste your time going on social media to **** a comment off without even checking up on the source of the comment ,Just abuse ????
WE live in weird and sometimes sad times , Good Luck all HODL here ,, We need it !

Kozzi
I have a shed load of DOT currently staking on Kraken ready to contribute to my favorite parachain auction project , After those allocated DOT,s are returned + respective associated tokens ( think its 2 years for DOT & 48 weeks for KSM ) I will continue to Stake for the 12+% compounded
ETH & BTC have been around for years ,Polkadot is under construction with not even the footings finished
Imagine the price of DOT in 2 to 3 years ? a 12+ % revenue stream is awfully compelling dont you think
Everyone to there own
