If you are not all in on XLM, you are really fucking up.
Benefits of Stellar:
- ICOs - Smart-contracts - IBM running the world-wide network nodes and shilling Stellar (dashboard.stellar.org/) - Stellar consensus protocol: 1000s tx / second (global scale) - Inflation distributed weekly to those who own XLM (lumenaut.net/)
- IBM Blockchian VP AMA on r/Stellar; 20 March - Brazil IMTC Meeting w/ Lisa Nestor; 21 March - IBM Think Blockchain; 22 March
Recent Partnership:
- Keybase.io - Blockdaemon.com (Blockdaemon claims Stellar will be *THE* Ethereum of 2018; Blockdaemon backed by Comcast) - Korean Anchor deal sealed; announcement soon
Big Things to Watch For:
- Jed claims "interesting" announcement soon; likely IBM's plans with central banks + tokenization of central bank fiat - Official IBM news on their Hyper/Stellar Ledger plans - Stripe BTC replacement announcement circa April - FairX Beta - April/May - Lightyear.io major announcement late March/April
On FairX:
- FairX is NOT an exchange (i.e., like GDAX), SDEX is Stellar's exchange - Instead, FairX is likely a bridging mechanism + fiat anchor; a component of SDEX, designed to enable fiat -> crypto and crypto
