Natural selection is strong in the cryptographic market: time for the sub-layer extinction (SUB)

• background
  once again struck down by the community

An average post emerged today explaining in detail why
Substratum, a cryptocurrency project that seeks to be at the forefront of a future
decentralized world, is in fact a security and should be treated as such.
The passionate blockchain and the student William McKenzie have taken a plunge into the world
matter with this post and found more than enough evidence to suggest that much
the malignant cryptocurrency deserves to be on the radar of the SEC.

The writer presents his case on why he feels that Substratum is a
security in several paragraphs of pong, coming to the following conclusions:

• The substrate passes all 4 points of Howey's test
  and therefore can be considered a security subject to US securities laws
• The explanation of Substratum for US participation
  in their ICO it should not have been enough to allow them to circumvent the SEC rulings on the matter
  titles.
• The substrate potentially has millions of
  unrecorded funds.
• Substrate more than likely committed titles
  fraud by advertising false current / past Substratum clients, with their CEO
  give price forecasts, tweet more than 40 cases of pumping your token,
  and even openly admitting to being a pump and a dump truck.

security status here.

• DX.Exchange
  to go live, several popular cryptocurrencies negotiable from day one

A new commercial player is about to reach the encrypted markets
his name is DX.Exchange. This exchange is marketed as the first complete
Crypto community that allows institutions and individuals to buy
cryptocurrency with Fiat, exchange cryptocurrencies and convert crypto into

"Digital stocks are
supported 1: 1 for real-world securities traded on conventional exchanges. you
buy tokens for the main activities on which you choose to invest, such as
Google, Amazon, etc. Therefore, when you hold a token, you own shares of
l & # 39; Company, " the exchange explains its business model. The exchange is
built on the Ethereum blockchain that will allow the virtual
stocks to get tokenized via smart contracts. It is expected to see a number of
smaller investors flock to this new platform and start trading
the shares of various companies listed on the Nasdaq. Daniel Skowronski, DX exchange
CEO, confirms this sentiment:

"With the decomposition of stocks
of some of the largest publicly traded companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook
and much more, DX is opening up an unexpressed market of millions of old and new merchants
around the world cutting the intermediary. "

DX Exchange will use Nasdaq's financial information
Exchange protocol (FIX). Furthermore, tokenised actions will be acquired by MPS
Marketplace Securities Ltd, which will issue tokens representing shares on
(il) Ethereum blockchain via smart contracts, and buys and holds in the real world
stocks based on the application.

Moreover, from the first day, the platform will allow its traders to use Bitcoin,
Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Cardano, OmiseGo, Enigma, ShareToken and DigiByte on
the exchange. All coins will be combined with the US dollar, with XRP
further combinations with the Japanese yen and the euro. Cardano, a currency
quite popular in Japan, it will also be paired with the yen; "special" final
the coupling will be DigiByte, as it will also be negotiable with respect to the euro.

the Fortnite store and buy various items. However, this option was
off and later considered "a mistake" by none other than the head of Epic Games
honcho Tim Sweeney.

"In fact, Fortnite & # 39; s
the brief raid in the crypt was accidental. We worked with a partner to open a
Merchandising shop, and Monero payment has been enabled somewhere along the way. "
explained Sweeney. He also added: "Lot of

the younger players. "

been explored by the company, it seems that everything has been put in place
