Moneyman - never say never - just dont want people to have too high expectations. Im not saying 5p is not possible, but it would/could be a while down the line from here and a lot of ducks to fall in line. All the best

edit. Actually most of the ramping is over on the other BB .

Lot of ramping going on here ladies and gents.A you know I am a great advocate of Pendulum's potential but I worry things are getting a little too much.

Just going back to the milestone timeline as there was no mention of Amber AML - but I have had it confirmed that Amber is projected to also Launch within Q1.
Satoshipay has secured 5% AMBR.

Pjb - I would be interested in the fundamentals behind your 40/50% BTC drop from here. The last big fall was caused by a huge black swan event and only caused a 10/15% fall which has now fully recovered and technically broken out of the downward trend. I cannot now see any further black swan events , so it is extremely hard to see why - maybe escalation in Ukraine ?

There is a fundamental flaw in human phycology in that we tend to convince ourselves of the scenario that we want. When the market reaches its peak we think it can go higher and when the market has bottomed we still think it can go lower.

Nobody knows for sure and anyone who tells you they do is lying, but for what its worth I have turned Bull on crypto and am accumulating now for the long haul.

nightye1- agreed :-)

Crypto pumping again - it could be argued that the winter has bottomed and the next bull run is beginning. Just a thought.

For anyone who wants to get a good grip on the AMBER/Dtransfer/Pendulum marketplace Uniswap have just published a paper entitled ‘ On-chain Foreign Exchange and Cross-border Payments’

further to my previous post the current situation with spacewalk bridge is showing that milestone 3 is 40 percent completed, so as milestone 1 and 2 have been approved It looks like Spacewalk is around 80% complete at this point.

Interesting stats on blockchain development levels last year. Polkadot second only to Ethereum. Bear in mind Polkadot first launched in May 2020. Ethereum 2015, Solana 2019, Cosmos 2016. https://www.developerreport.com/

I posted this graphic a while ago but there seem to be some new interest here so thought it might be useful to show what pendulum/spacewalk is all about.

5 New Tokens Worth Watching in 2023

Blueshoes - great link thank you - one of the more balanced views of the crypto spaces and for what its worth one on the whole, I agree with. Would recommend people take the time to watch.

Sambar - general crypto market up between 10-20 % over last few days - could be the start of the end of bear run. Accumulation time in my view.
