Sorry for the small delay of 2 days. Other things needed our attention.

You think so?


MILESTONE ALERT: THE LISK ICO HAS SWITCHED FROM ROCKET TO WARP DRIVE

225+ BTC DONATED LAST 14 HOURS

100+ BTC DONATED LAST 04 HOURS

LISK ICO HAS 134 HOURS TO GO

I was also thinking about this for a while, but I think mayor companies (Microsoft, Google, Amazon) don't want open sourced decentralised crypto projects because they can go lead a life of it's own, they can't be regulated. And potentially damage the brand name.

  Gee I wonder where all that BTC came from?? lol...*cough ETH DUMPS cough* - Of course you'll see a spike with freshly made btc incoming from a "connected" coin.  It's not everyday traders going in it's whales to manipulate LISK the same way they did/do ETH.  

Don't get me wrong, I really like what MS and Azure and all that other tech stuff is promising, it's just all talk re. implementation with these crypto coins, there is nothing even substantially concrete yet to justify this much btc into it yet.  If you argue this point you're either dumb or just a blind follower.  But hey good for you if you rode the backs of the real whales pumping ETH (and possibly LISK).

Canabanana makes a decent point in general though yes.

I understand the value and importance of a decentralised blockchain. But the most important blockchain > Bitcoin is becoming more and more centralised.

I could assume a centralised GoogleChain with it's own mega servers can do IOT/dapps jobs. The masses would be fine with that I think.

I could be wrong ofcourse...

i have read now your reply about NXT, you right man, my apologize.

Well, at least we are mentioned by Coindesk. That's something )

yes, I agree with all that, but, my question is - what is stopping MS from making their own decentralized coin with needed features? They have more than enough resources for all this themselves internally
