I am done.

I am done. I have been a member of this board for several months. I was extremely active at first because this was another source of information to keep me up to date with what was my favorite asset to own within my portfolio. I stepped away from this subreddit for a while because it got annoying. Mainly because, I had to deal with kids who would constantly spam posts about "short squeezes" not only on this subreddit but others as well, including WSB. Throughout all that BS, no mods were anywhere to be found... so I took a break.

During my break, several events took place. China announces they are banning all BTC miners... Elon Musk announces he had no idea how much energy BTC really utilized... etc. The last news I recall from SOS was reading they plan to expand to someplace in North America. Can't remember the exact details, but throughout those events, BTC went from its ATHs to as low as 30k sometime last week. Fortunately, momentum returned this week due to Amazon potentially accepting crypto as payment (a rumor they soon denied), but throughout it all, I have come to the conclusion that it's time to part ways with SOS.

A little about my position in SOS, I own a little over 2.5k shares, with an avg cost of $2.40. I didn't sell at 15 mainly because I didn't want to pay taxes (F.U UNCLE SAM). Part of the reason was that I was already paying too much money in taxes because of my career, and the other part was that I became extremely fascinated with SOS business plans in the crypto world. & TBH I didn't really need the money.. if anything I would've just went and put a downpayment on another car, which wouldn't have been the best investment, so throughout it all, I decided to hold.

Today as I am writing this post, I definitely regret not selling at 15 and getting myself a brand new Supra. My motives changed with SOS just when I realized just how dogshit their website looked compared to the other miners. I mean there isn't a webpage that mentions they mine bitcoin/ethereum, how much btc/eth they've mined, hash rate, etc. None of that is there. You look at other bitcoin miners' webpages, not only do they include most of that information, but they will also TELL YOU where their mining facilities are located. This whole BS of keeping it confidential to keep prices competitive for them is complete BS. It sounds like some shit you tell a fucking child.

Although I haven't sold, I have lost over $25K trading options in SOS. I am over that now, but at the time it sure did hurt. Let down during coinbase IPO.. letdown during the announcement of new mining rigs becoming operational, etc. This stock has just been a complete disappointment.

On a more positive note, I have found another BTC miner that utilizes renewable energy and is currently trading under $5 at the time of this post. They have an aesthetically looking website, are COMPLETELY UNDERVALUED compared to big names like MARA & RIOT as this company has mined more BTC than both those companies have for the first 6 months of 2021, not a Chinese miner, and most importantly, low costs compared to its competitors who are trading 6x+ the price. I won't mention this ticker, not because I don't want to "pump" it, but because I want to get in while it's still this CHEAP and undervalued. I am now stuck between selling SOS calls until I get exercised, or just closing my position outright... decisions, decisions.

To all the soldiers that are going to continue to hold, god bless. I truly hope this reaches its potential one day, but I just got tired of mediocrity, the inconsistency to inform investors, and most importantly, that ugly-ass website.


We are officially back to $40K USD

Despite the recent events with the fake article regarding Amazon accepting Bitcoin and creating their own coin, it appears news of their recent cryptocurrency blockchain job listings may be managing to keep the price around $40K

We had a slight swing with the Amazon FUD back to $37K and just as quickly we're now, as I type, back above $40K USD

This might be the turning point. All I know, is it's going to go right.


Kraken Podcast: Meet Web3, The Foundation Behind Polkadot and Kusama 🀩talking Parachain Auctions.

On the podcast we welcome Dieter Fishbein, Head of Ecosystem Development at Web3. In the discussion we cover the backstory of Polkadot/Kusama, where we are at present and what the roadmap looks like for a parachain future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldBEqRIPRXk

πŸ€” What are Parachains? πŸ€”Parachains are custom blockchains that are integrated within the Kusama network. They can be customized for any number of use cases and feed into the main blockchain and heart of its network, called the Relay Chain, thus benefiting from Kusama’s network security.

πŸ“š Parachain slot auctions take advantage of Polkadot and Kusama’s ability to give developers ways to create new crypto assets and decentralized applications (dapps) on top of its blockchain.

πŸ“ Importantly, only 100 parachain slots are expected to be available, a number that is flexible and subject to change by governance vote over time. To claim one of these slots, the parachain projects have to win a parachain slot auction.

πŸ“· For Kusama auctions, the project with the most KSM bonded to support its bid, at the time the auction snapshot is taken, will generally be able to claim the auctioned parachain slot.

πŸ“£ Projects may, in their discretion, give rewards to contributors who support their winning bid.

πŸ“Œ If the auction is lost, the KSM bonded by contributors may be re-claimed at the end of that project’s specified campaign duration, which may last for one or more auctions.

WHITE PAPER I8 COIN

I8COIN - WHITE PAPER - V1.2 - JULY, 2021

INTRODUCTION

The I8COIN is a digital token that consists of a basket of cryptocurrencies. The components of the I8COIN are cryptocurrencies purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the I8. Therefore, the value of the I8 TOKEN is linked to the value of the cryptocurrencies contained in the basket.

I8COIN can be purchased, redeemed and transferred using the Blockchain Waves platform or directly from I8COIN.

I8 tokens are issued on a public blockchain so they can be traded. The I8COIN was created to bring more convenience and simplicity when it comes to acquiring cryptocurrencies. Hence, users can obtain a basket of cryptocurrencies by purchasing a single token. Tasks such as custody, negotiation, storage, research and analysis, security and tracking are carried out by I8COIN.

Its purpose is to bring ease, practicality, transparency and security to the investor holder or trade, as it dilutes the purchase portfolio, thus minimizing the market's operational risks through the negotiation of this Unity.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The I8COIN Token

I8COIN tokens are created and hosted on the WAVES (WAVES.EXCHANGE) blockchain. As with any cryptocurrency, the token is public, which means that its provision and transactions can be verified against the blockchain. Furthermore, it allows the token to be accepted and supported by third parties such as trading and trading platforms.

a. Token release

I8Coin tokens are 100% generated and already mined with the total tokens of 128,000,000 (one hundred and twenty-eight million units), which means that a token can only be traded due to its actual existence in the blockchain through trading on its own or on the I8Coin Direct Platform.

I8COIN only holds custody of unsold tokens while provisioned according to the Whitepaper disposition flow.

The I8 tokens have a LIMITED supply, which means that there is a supply flow in advance according to demand benefiting the number of tokens of their holders.

B. Redemptions

Tokens can be traded on the Waves blockchain, giving more and full transparency to I8COIN.

The I8Coin Platform may provide rewards and bonuses in order to leverage the positioning of the token, always using the pair BTC/I8Coin, Waves/I8Coin, USDT/I8Coin, or another to be listed according to its liquidity level.

The specific platform of I8Coin itself, according to pre-established criteria, may repurchase these rewards with the scored pairs, or others with a high degree of liquidity as demand, in order to further streamline its positioning.

I8 tokens are resold on redemption, which means that the tokens are destroyed when redeemed on the I8COIN Platform or immediately resold to people or purses demanding the token, thus avoiding dilution.

To avoid unnecessary turnover costs, which can negatively affect token value, all redemptions fall under a minimum retention period of 30 days on the I8COIN platform. In addition, redemptions are available on demand according to the user criteria of the I8Coin Platform, or in the form of a Trade directly on the blockchain.

I8COIN imposes fees and minimum amounts on redemptions if deemed necessary to cover the costs of trading and avoid devaluation of the Token I8Coin Token. Fees and minimum values ​​will always be updated on the I8Coin platform.

c. Transactions

I8COIN is a public token, therefore, it can be used freely by its holders and third parties; by people and institutions as exchanges; trading platforms and wallets can carry out transactions using the I8 token. I8COIN is not responsible for any problems arising from third party transactions, or their terms of negotiation, buy or sell price, as it is an independent active operation and free to each user when on Blockchain.

The only transactions previously scored will be those carried out within the I8Coin Platform.

d. I8 TOKEN price

The price of the I8COIN token is fixed based on the value of its components, its components being published on the I8COIN Public Page and calculated by dividing the net amount of its component coins by the amount of offer in circulation. Therefore, the component price is the price of each specific cryptocurrency that makes up the I8 and is determined by the last traded price on the Exchange selected for the operations (Waves.exchange).

The following components determine the price of the I8COIN token:

Ø Component price;

Ø Quantity of components;

Ø Component value;

Ø Gross value of the components;

Ø Custody fee;

_____________________________________________________________________________

1. The Composition of I8COIN

Ø Component price

The component's price is determined by its last traded price on a cryptocurrency exchange selected for daily trading of trades. Exchange selection is based on prevailing commercial conditions. We work with secure exchanges that best represent market prices, in addition to offering a cost-effective rate table. The price of each component is always displayed on the I8COIN Platform. Component prices are quoted at the last traded price on any Exchange selected for the trades.

The I8COIN is comprised of 10 cryptocurrencies ranked by their market capitalization and with strong growth potential. Users registered on the I8Coin.com Platform will be able to vote for 2 cryptocurrencies to be kept or added to the basket, according to the criteria to be defined by I8COIN.

At this time, I8Coin will operate trading portfolios and, for quotation purposes, the Exchange BINANCE.

Ø Component Value

The component value is calculated by multiplying the Price component times the component quantity. For example, if the Bitcoin price is 8,000.00 TUSD, and we currently have 17 Bitcoins, then our Bitcoin value is calculated:

_____________________________________________________________________________

8,000 TUSD x 17 BITCOINS = 136,000 TUSD

_____________________________________________________________________________

Gross Value of Components (GVC)

The gross value of the components is calculated by adding all the values ​​of the other currencies that make up the baskets. Therefore, this is the gross value of the entire basket. For example, in the table below, 1 I8COIN is the sum of all the percentages of the cryptocurrencies that comprise it:

https://preview.redd.it/1dle8rz4gud71.png?width=302&format=png&auto=webp&s=7531859544da34ebe78ee0f12833c5022ac31510

Composition maintained until completion of Pre ICO, ICO, sedimentation and opening of the first round of active user participation (Estimated period 120 days after Pre ICO)

I8Coin will make public to users its transaction portfolios (different from the custody portfolio – for security reasons) of each currency that it composes as a transparency factor, demonstrating the smoothness and transparency of its applications.

This composition included an exhaustive collaborative and analytical study of operations, taking into account market behavior.

Let's see (based on the references placed):

FIRST ROUND:

After the first Closing Change for price analysis: Closing Change 1 = + 7,42%

https://preview.redd.it/il5oswsdgud71.png?width=555&format=png&auto=webp&s=f820900f3e99f69e9874c82a28695223dd542db4

SECOND ROUND:

After the second Closing Change for price analysis: Closing Change 2 = + 42%

https://preview.redd.it/3jmigxkegud71.png?width=549&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf62d684a15a64171a7ab0502ebb59400d7bdf15

https://preview.redd.it/9ncsed3pgud71.png?width=567&format=png&auto=webp&s=18cf0cfe78f7fefb863776234ca44bc8b98a5fbc

THIRD ROUND

After the third Closing Change for price analysis: Closing Change 3 = + 431,19%

https://preview.redd.it/e7j99qtqgud71.png?width=567&format=png&auto=webp&s=a48d114653b5f77d0ba857e8930de5f02f1e27b0

FOURTH ROUND:

After the fourth Closing Change for price analysis: Closing Change 4 = + 769,31%

https://preview.redd.it/78l44b4sgud71.png?width=535&format=png&auto=webp&s=d021a542de6b918018191009dce17ba6250172ae

https://preview.redd.it/vw9b3oysgud71.png?width=541&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a6760273afffaaec364fe39620be59b6d0a8352

THUS, we saw an accumulated growth of 769.31% in relation to the initial positioning, and a growth of more than 7x in relation to its MarketCap, disregarding potential trade operation fluctuations. It demonstrates that, even with negative variations over time in relation to one or another currency, the Unity (Basket) view diluted the risk for the end user, maintaining price and MarketCap rise.

Obviously past profitability must be considered from the point of view of analysis, not serving as a projection or commitment to future earnings, but it clearly demonstrates that positioning as Unity is the most correct and viable as I8Coin, for this reason even being a platform in which users will be able to be active and have their opinions respected in order to always be updated.

Composition Summary:

https://preview.redd.it/jeyl8inzgud71.png?width=503&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ba9820dd59f1f19414d50da97bb2ea17ae31e52

Hard Forks in Composition

Hard-Forks are divisions of the cryptocurrency chain, which generate a new cryptocurrency. I8COIN will assess each situation in isolation. If the Hard-fork is found to significantly reduce the value of the current underlying cryptocurrency, a new cryptocurrency will be immediately added to the basket.

In case Hard-fork does not significantly affect the value of the current underlying cryptocurrency, the new cryptocurrency will be exchanged according to its original blockchain or definition to be published on the I8COIN platform.

4. Network Distribution

It is at I8COIN's sole discretion to participate in network distributions (staking, airdrops, hard forks), which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It is in the interest of I8COIN to increase the collections of cryptocurrencies to participate in the Distributions network. However, if such participation is deemed irrelevant and/or its cost is greater than your rewards, I8COIN may decide not to participate.

5. Storage

Cryptocurrencies are kept in cold storage (off-net) and trusted trading platforms and exchanges.

6. Settlement

I8COIN reserves the right to close and settle I8COIN among its users at any time. If such an event happened, all funds will be exchanged for cryptocurrencies according to each Exchange and paid to users. Users will be given a 30-day notice if this event occurs.

7. Allocation Distribution

In all, 128 million tokens will be distributed. After ICO ends, there will be no new I8COIN tokens created. A part of these devices will be offered in asset portfolio consolidation processes, partnerships, bonuses for the development team, to the company's cash for future investments, community awards, totaling a percentage of 30%. The other 70% will be available for the fundraising process through PRE-ICO, ICO, and Operation Consolidation. Below is a detailed distribution:

https://preview.redd.it/cijvuqt3hud71.png?width=420&format=png&auto=webp&s=f172802aa11302d8068399f4f66e864d1b146985

7.1 PRE-ICO

Pre-ICO is the heating for positioning the token sales of an ICO (Initial Coin Offering).

In this phase, it will be possible to obtain the I8COIN Tokens at a price lower than what will be traded during and at the end of the Initial Coin Offering, and after, in the consolidation phase, enabling potential investors to take advantage of a positioning that provides possible better chances of earnings.

7.2 ICO:

The PRICES of the token trading process will be divided into two packages, two for Pre-ICO and two for ICO. If the ICO does not reach the desired maximum capture, the remaining balance of the tokens will be burned. The lots will be distributed in two macro-phases:

\(P)= Price on Blockchain Waves.exchange*

The amounts collected in the Pre-ICO and ICO process will be used to improve the development team, purchase of assets, improvements and legal adjustments of any records of financial processes in countries where there is adherence by customers, structuring of financial and accounting management departments, support and service, legal department, server infrastructure and marketing.

We aim at a fully digital insertion and as lean as possible via home based to adapt to the current times and we can have the best participants. For this, we always look for a solid and lean structure, but valuing the quality of the team, planning, equipment and possible future installations to scale the activities.

9. RESPONSABILITIES & LEGAL NOTICES

Trading involving cryptocurrencies is considered a high-risk activity, in which prices can change significantly over time. With respect to price volatility, the book value can be significantly increased or decreased at any time. All currencies, virtual or otherwise, have the potential to drastically change their value or even become obsolete. There is a high risk of loss as a result of buying, selling or trading in any market. Therefore, the company, I8COIN, is not responsible for the exchange variation of the value of the cryptocurrencies.

Given this, trading in cryptocurrencies also poses an additional risk that is not experienced by other types of currencies or other commodities in the market. Unlike most currencies that are guaranteed by the government or other legal institutions, or by gold and silver, virtual currency is a "virtual" currency exclusively backed by technology and trust.

There is no central bank that can control, protect the value of cryptography in crisis, or print the currency. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, regulations and rules, I8COIN is not liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or other damages of any kind, in civil liability, contract or otherwise (including but not limited to loss of revenue, profit or loss and loss of use or data) arising out of or in connection with any acceptance or reliance contained in this White Paper.

No Representation, No Warranty - I8COIN does not represent and / or guarantee any event carried out through its Platform and hereby waives any representation, warranty or commitment in any way to any person, natural or legal, including any representation, warranty or commitment with respect to any information contained in this White Paper.

User acknowledges that the disclosure of this White Paper does not imply applicable laws, regulatory requirements or rules, agreeing and acknowledging that the I8COIN token does not constitute security in any form in any jurisdiction.

The user declares to have sufficient knowledge to operate with I8COIN, there being no doubt or fact that can characterize his hypothesis in relation to it, having full understanding of his civil capacity, as well as being able to practice any and all necessary acts for the validity of the operations.

DAO I8COIN is not responsible for any direct or indirect lost profits, loss of data or damages resulting from technical errors, failures, interruption of Internet connection or the like.

Parachain Auctions Podcast: Meet Web3, The Foundation Behind Polkadot and Kusama 🀩

On the podcast we welcome Dieter Fishbein, Head of Ecosystem Development at Web3. In the discussion we cover the backstory of Polkadot/Kusama, where we are at present and what the roadmap looks like for a parachain future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldBEqRIPRXk

Recorded July 9th, 2021

πŸ€” What are Parachains? πŸ€”Parachains are custom blockchains that are integrated within the Kusama network. They can be customized for any number of use cases and feed into the main blockchain and heart of its network, called the Relay Chain, thus benefiting from Kusama’s network security.

πŸ“š Parachain slot auctions take advantage of Polkadot and Kusama’s ability to give developers ways to create new crypto assets and decentralized applications (dapps) on top of its blockchain.

πŸ“ Importantly, only 100 parachain slots are expected to be available, a number that is flexible and subject to change by governance vote over time. To claim one of these slots, the parachain projects have to win a parachain slot auction.

πŸ“· For Kusama auctions, the project with the most KSM bonded to support its bid, at the time the auction snapshot is taken, will generally be able to claim the auctioned parachain slot.

πŸ“£ Projects may, in their discretion, give rewards to contributors who support their winning bid.

πŸ“Œ If the auction is lost, the KSM bonded by contributors may be re-claimed at the end of that project’s specified campaign duration, which may last for one or more auctions.

SOS LIMITED: SHORT REPORTS, TO THE GREAT RECOVERY ---- MUST READ AND SHARE

SOS LIMITED: SHORT REPORTS --- TO THE GREAT RECOVERY

BBC Capital LLC would like to inform all SOS shareholders that we are looking to enter a large position for SOS Limited (SOS). We believe SOS limited is worth a current fair evaluation of $4.90, with a 6-month price of $12.

After much speculation, and lots of research, we feel it is the perfect time to go long on SOS Limited.

We have gathered a fair amount of data regarding share holder sentiment, short seller manipulation, and company fundamentals and operation procedures. With a rebound crypto currency market, we believe this will send a direct ripple effect to all crypto miners, ultimately benefiting SOS Limited (SOS). (MARA) (RIOT) (HUT)

With that being said, let’s breakdown the facts that helped us come to this decision.

SOS Limited News:

SOS Limited is looking to further their operations into North America, by a joint venture with Niagara Worldwide. We should hear the confirmation of this deal soon.

We are awaiting Q2/Q3 Mining Results, which we believe should be coming very soon. Yes, SOS is still mining Ethereum. Some Social media pundits have claimed to have tracked an SOS Limited wallet which shows current mining of Bitcoin and Ethereum, even with Chinese sanctions. We will not put that here as we have not verified it ourselves.

SOS Limited (SOS) currently has: 400 million in Cash

400M/178M Shares= $2.25

Insurance Revenue 54M+ : $.30

Crypto Mining Revenue: $ .45

3.5 BTC/ Day = $48.6M (as of present-day value)

41 ETH / Day= $34.3M (as of present value)

Expected to have Revenue beat by 400% 2021 according to previous reports

SOS Fair Value: $4.90

These are annual estimates *

Of course, with the soon to be meteoric rise of Crypto Currencies, we will see larger returns in the future. On top of this, SOS limited (SOS) is set to release an exchange they had mentioned earlier in the year. The finalization of that exchange was to be set for Mid-year, or anyday now.

The fees generated for this exchange should be estimated around 20-30 million annually, with the possibility of even greater returns.

SOS Limited (SOS) Short Interest Increasing

https://preview.redd.it/oeqwzmt63ud71.png?width=517&format=png&auto=webp&s=a91487254fd59efd5faeba93221c001fb500444c

The chart above shows that with increasing retail volume, short sellers are frantically doubling down on their short positions. Usually this is done as an attempt to suppress the stock even more. It creates violent movements, and extreme price swings. This is a deadly game to be caught up in if the cards turn out of your favor. Currently, the favor is in the Short Sellers hands.

However, Short Sellers can easily be pushed out with a bull rush of large share purchases on good news or PR, which we believe may be coming soon based off past PR and research.

This increased short volume could also be relative to short sellers covering their positions in the $2.50 range.

SHORT SELLER REPORT AND SHORT INTEREST (VERY IMPORTANT)

For starters, let’s address the Elephant in the room. Short sellers have been decimating SOS Limited (SOS) for the past 6 months. It seems that a group of short sellers drove the price up to a 52-week high of $15.88 earlier this year on a Crypto Currency fueled tear.

This was convenient timing to enter a short position on SOS Limited (SOS) since it was experiencing a “blow off top” or “short covering”. Meaning, the benefits on the way back down were outlandishly ridiculous. Millions to be made.

So, who are these Short Sellers with Positions in SOS Limited? Well, we know that Hindenburg may still be short SOS.

Now, one can speculate if Culper Research is still short SOS Limited, but it seems recently they sold some of their position mid-July. So, they could be switching long, or exiting their gold mining operation in fears of a positive news event.

Another fund to be very concerned with is “Anson Funds” out of Toronto, Canada. Now, you may recognize Anson Funds from previous companies they “Bailed out” or lent money to. These companies consisted of (GNUS), (TLRY), and many more.

Now, if you look at the history of when Anson lent support to these companies, you will notice a very interesting Phenomenon. Every one of those stocks dropped over the next few months. The exception being Tilray (TLRY) which had an amazing short covering to $100+.

Of course, one can blame this on underperforming financials as the cause for these downtrends on the other tickers. Either way, it is quite ironic that several positions Anson takes in their “bailout” fashion, only seem to bail out Anson funds to a tune of 50M+ in profit. (Moez might take that as an insult because he probably netted more than 50M)

Moreover, Hindenburg Research has always had a very timely follow up with a nice “Short report” of their own as soon as Anson Funds is involved with certain companies. Makes you wonder, why would “the great Nate” the fraud hunter of Wall Street enter into positions that he sees Anson Funds entering? Is it because the two work together (Anson and Hindenburg) with “non material” information, knowing they will make a killing on a short position, or is it truly for the betterment of the overall market to minimalize certain market caps for particular companies?

Remember, Hindenburg has a motto of “Popping bubbles as they see them”. Hypothetically, if you have a buddy creating an artificial bubble on a stock with “leaked” news reports about a company and their future potential, it’s easy to pop that bubble when you know some of the facts surrounding the statements about the company aren’t true. However, that scenario can be played off as purely “retail hype”. These bits of information are merely a rumor swirling social media, right?

Well, that would beg to ask the question “How are these micro-cap stocks gaining so much sudden media attention”? A very simple answer, paid social media promoters and paid for articles. You scratch my back I scratch yours. These social media voices on Twitter, StockTwits,Reddit, and SeekingAlpha will give out tidbits of information regarding a company to grab retailers attention. They will then let the stocks run up, so they trend momentarily, which gets more people to join in. They do this so it adds volatility to the stock, it makes the options look appetizing, and it also helps them hide their extremely large short covering, or to grab a better position at the top of the frenzy. Ultimately, crushing the retail investor in their path, "For the bettering of the market".

What does this mean for SOS Limited?

So, that brings us to SOS Limited (SOS) and why this is important. Anson Funds has less than 9.99% shareholder stake in SOS Limited, which means they do not have to report a short position. Anson Funds, Moez Kassam, the not-so-great Houdini, is known for short selling. This is how he made his money from the start. Sort of a pessimistic approach to the stock market if you ask me.

Now, take a look at when Anson Funds entered SOS limited (SOS) below;

https://preview.redd.it/vwm4szmd3ud71.png?width=1867&format=png&auto=webp&s=83e613945d8807457561ff427da927988342b8fa

This SEC document should help explain the massive, short interest, short selling, and random media hype. Anson Funds had a warrant exercise agreement this year February 22nd. Guess what happened 3 business days later, Hindenburg comes out with their “Short Report”. Price drops 30%, which is “Conveniently Ironic”.

Just to help you understand more clearly, the last time this happened was on GENIUS BRANDS (GNUS), in which Anson Funds had business dealings with the company and Hindenburg came out with their report, “A bag holder’s guide to why we think Genius Brands will be a $1.50 Stock Within a Month”

This same wording was used by Nate Anderson in a tweet back in April when SOS limited (SOS) experienced an extreme volume surge and price movement around April the 8th. Nate tweeted, "Sweet baggy Jesus" in regards to the short covering attempt on SOS Limited. Clearly, he has a dog in this hunt, and does not want to see a short covering of any sort. He now believes SOS shareholders will be stuck with their bag for life, as he gave SOS Limited a $0 Price Target.

Following in the footsteps of Anson, Hindenburg and the crew were able to rake in a nice profit on retail shareholders.

Continuing...

Hindenburg claims that SOS limited (SOS) is a shell company that is merely a small insurance lead generator. Now, we are not here to say that this is not true. SOS Limited’s main revenue stream is their Insurance marketing business according to SEC documents.

We believe that Hindenburg followed the footsteps of Anson Funds into this trade because they know how Anson Funds operates, they know that they will short this stock to the ground. “Elevator up, stairway back down”. The stairway backdown motto works better because you make a hell of a lot more profit on the weekly options and stroking every dollar from retailers who believe in the long-term potential.

In Summary, for past manipulation on SOS Limited (SOS) I would not lay the blame on Hindenburg Research. They had a very easy job finding the research for their initial short report. We were able to find where they got all their evidence in 3 days, making many phone calls. In fact, I would point the finger at SOS Limited management for having business dealings with a known short seller (Anson Funds). It is easy for Hindenburg to short a stock they know is going to be crawling with short sellers.

FURTHER DETAIL ON SHORT SHELLING OPERATION $ .77

Do you guys ever wonder why the massive “walls” or “asks” usually come from the EDGX exchange. Who trades using the exchange? Is it Anson Funds?

You ever ask yourselves, why do most Social Media accounts for SOS Limited come out of Canada? It seems the Canadians have a better idea of what’s going on in China then the Chinese even know.

When you start to connect the dots, you will realize that it seems you are in the Midst of one of the largest Short selling operations in the market. How is it a stock like SOS Limited (SOS), being one of the most held stocks on Robinhood, is beat down so bad. Every week for 16 weeks, there has been 1 green day to every 4 red days, or so it seems.

Now, when you add market sentiment to the equation, which currently is, “Don’t buy Chinese stocks” You see how easy it is to shift blame of a downtrend on Chinese sentiment. It’s easier, to fool someone to believe the media is your problem, and not these entities that are shorting you with high speed algos. Hyping you with half evidence news pieces and selling you back down. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Overall, we believe SOS Limited (SOS) has the potential for a violent short covering. We believe these hedge funds are piling on their short positions, and it would take them roughly 2 days to cover all of them. With the backing of a retail push, SOS could see highs as close to $7 with some good PR.

What can we do to stop the Short Selling?

This answer is psychological nightmare. First and foremost, people need to stop purchasing call options. If you like a company, it is a reasonable approach to buy a long term ITM call, and shares.

Buying Weekly Calls is a death trap, not for you, but for everyone else who is heavily invested in SOS Limited (SOS).

Short sellers have been spiking the price to drive retail to buy their OTM call options. They are quickly recovering and raking in Hundreds of thousands, if not millions weekly off you. This is merely a psychological game until you break.

The short sellers have a goal of $.77. I’m sure you’ve seen the article “SOS to $77”. That is just hype to get you to purchase more OTM call options.

SOS Limited Future in Block Chain Technology

There’s a lot to look forward to with SOS stock in the months to come. Its plans to pioneer the crypto world’s financial services business, which could be a watershed event for the industry. It will also solidify the company as the most powerful Ethereum miner in the world. Some of these fintech services include insurance, crypto loans, mobile payments, crowdfunding and others.

It is tough to forecast how things will play out considering the short interest in the stock in terms of price. Short interest is high, which points to another short covering. It is tough to forecast how things will play out considering the short interest in the stock in terms of price. Short interest is high, which points to another short covering that could take SOS stock past its 52-week high of $15.88. The implied volatility is attractive for short-sellers, but I feel that it has the potential to be a long-term investment. (Farooque)

Risks: Claims of SOS Limited Shell company

As many of you are aware, Hindenburg claimed they believe SOS Limited (SOS) was running a shell game to move money around from LLC to LLC, or their “shells”. I am not going to disagree with them that SOS Limited has a very strange business mapping. We spent days on this trying to map it out and see what was legit.

Here’s what we found:

Faith Asset group, who is tied with Niagara Worldwide, who is the supposed seller of the Niagara, WI Warehouse for their BTC operations is no longer in operation. They failed to renew their business license. When you call Faith Asset group contact numbers, you receive a prompt that enters you into a $100 Gift Card. Now, if that’s what you’re looking for, give them a call. They are out of South Carolina. The other issue is the employees for Faith Asset Group and Niagara Worldwide where the supposed deal for Wisconsin is supposed to happen. We got into contact with 5 employees of Niagara Worldwide, and 1 person who worked out of New Jersey, but was familiar with the Niagara deal.

Of the 5 employees we spoke to, only 1 confirmed that they were still employed with Niagara Worldwide. He was their financial analyst. We asked him if he was familiar with SOS Limited, and he confirmed he was. We asked if he was aware of a deal for one of their properties for Bitcoin Mining operations, and he claimed he was not legally allowed to speak about it.

The other employees for Niagara Worldwide had not had positions with the company for a time frame of up to 7 years. So, it was rather strange they were still listed as “top contacts” for Niagara.

Eric Spiritas for Niagara is currently in court for a deal gone wrong regarding Finch Paper, LLC. This is the same company SOS Limited (SOS) is attempting to negotiate a deal with for Niagara Worldwide. (Could be to SOS Limited benefit if Eric is cash strapped).

Our associates were able to contact a man in New Jersey who was involved with the Niagara Worldwide property, we obtained his number directly from the Hydroplant Offices, and he informed us he knew about a deal for BTC mining, but that is all he could say at the time.

So, that leads us to believe there are financial agreements that still need to be made regarding the deal, and that would explain the radio silence.

We have a direct contact who lives in the Qingdao district, and she has informed us twice that SOS employees were at work, and she visited the Headquarters for us. We don't not get her down to the supposed mining facility, yet.

In regards to the other claims by Hindenburg, those have been easily dismissed as SOS Limited (SOS) has cleared them up in their most recent filings and reports.

In Summary:

We believe SOS Limited will be a strong performing stock for the latter half of the year. We think it shows many signs as a potential short "trigger" candidate, and many signs as a good long term growth stock.

With Bitcoin and Ethereum, in particular Ethereum, expected to 3-5x in the next few years we expect SOS Limited to have the necessary funds, management, and assets to expand their business and grow to a Multi-Billion Dollar valuation.

We believe there are also potential “Buy-out” rumors swirling around regarding SOS Limited (SOS) at a valuation price of $7/ Share. Remember, these rumors are speculative. The post for that article has since been removed.

SOS Limited will be transitioning to become a North American miner. They will flourish in the United States, and they are poised to add two more power plants to their crypto Currency operations.

They will have one of the worlds first Crypto Currency Insurance programs, and they are looking to have an operating exchange in the next month according to past reports from Krauss and Yang.

We need clarity from SOS Limited (SOS) management regarding a number of key issues. We want numbers, how they plan on executing their plans, and a timeline. This is critical for SOS Limited to gain the traction it deserves.

Disclaimer: We do not currently have a position in SOS, but we will be doing a large purchase in the next 72 hours. All opinions are our own and in no way is this financial advice.


I've never met a successful trader that hasn't blown up their account, at least once.

I've been noticing a lot of threads from people that are, bravely, admiting they fucked up by blowing up their account. Firstly, I want to congratulate you guys. There is no shame in that, because it's part of the process for most successful traders. If you don't quit, you will learn a valuable lesson. I want to share my past with you guys when I first blew up my entire savings on a single trade. Prior to that, i also blew up another account during my college years. I figured if I can be a semi-pro in csgo (not that i was but i could have easily been), trading would be a similiar challenge.


Trading has never been easier. With a few mouse clicks, you are either coming out as a winner or a loser. Anyone can trade and anyone can get lucky. When you combine those two factors, we end up hearing stories of how someone on a subreddit of r/wallstreetbets is still holding on to a 2000%+ return from buying uncovered call options of Tesla or people holding bitcoin, hoping it goes to the moon.

Shown here are two different equity graphs. On the left side, we have Graph 1, where it indicates a typical trader on r/wallstreetbets. They oversize their long/short position and have very large drawdowns. Eventually, this trader ends up blowing their account. They also expect each trade to be a winner, or why would any normal person trade otherwise, right? It's a wrong mentality. All professional traders dont expect any particular outcome. It can be a winner or a loser. Their edge wins in the end, because they are profitable over a series of trades. They take trades without any hesitations or emotions shown. Graph 2 is how most professional traders equity graph looks like once they truely are aware of their emotions.

So when and if the trade goes in red, the following usually happens: They are frozen in fear and in result they are in able to think rationally. Every time the market goes in their favor, even for a split second while they are still in the red, they are convinced this trade will work out…eventually. Then, the market goes against their favor even more, so they are swearing to themselves that as soon as the market goes in their favor again, they will take a small loss. As they watch their profits bleed in red font, the market slowly goes in their favor. Their profits are still in red color, but it seems, now, the market is going back up to breaking even. I don’t need to take a loss. Who knows...these numbers might turn green. As they stare at the vibrant red font, representing their unrealized loss, they are not even paying attention to what is happening in the market. After waiting a grueling few more minutes, the market - without a single hopeful sign – never comes close to the breakeven point. In fact, it goes back lower than before. Now the trader can’t handle being in this situation. The amount of stress and uneasy feeling makes it too painful for them to hold on the position. They rather take the loss than ensure another second of this pain. So they end up closing the position just like that, and their mind is finally free from the burden of looking at the red numbers. Their mind is paralyzed. They don’t how to act, feel or even what to think. They wished it was a bad dream or could rewind back in time. Read this, ALL successful traders have been in this position before…ALL.

What happens if an average WSB trader keep trading just like the way they do a hundred more times? Will they blow out their account before they can finish making 100 hundred trades or come out just losing/making some money instead? My money is on the former. Or a better question would be: do you know want to be a consistent profitable trader or trade as if every trade will make you either broke or over-night filthy rich?

When I decided to invest full-time into learning how to trade, I made a lot of mistakes (ive lost my savings more than once) and encountered a lot of fillers. I didn't know what trading strategy worked best or which signals to follow. I couldnt even tell you what accumulation or distribution meant, let alone how they are formed. I remember in April of 2019, when Ethereum was around $100 - $180. I longed 241,000 contracts ~ roughly about 9 bitcoins at that time. I went to bed without having any stops. Next morning when I woke up, I immediately checked my email to see this message.

Words can’t describe how I felt. I was so sure that ETH would not visit $149 during that short time. I couldnt even function properly. I had no money to pay rent... it was so bad that I just wanted to sleep and be in a different world. I decided to stop trading all together by stepping away from trading in general for 6 months. I started to figure out how to become a consistent profitable trader as I worked my old job. After a year and half of just learning , I decided to trade again. Eventually i became a prop trader for earn2trade. I highly recommend to take a break when this happens to you. Adam Grimes also has couple of other suggestions from one of his books.


I highly recommend reading two books that helped me tremendously on how i saw the market: 'Trading in the Zone' by Mark Douglas and 'The Art and Science of Trading' by Adam Grimes. Adam Grimes has a free blog where most of his ideas are there for anyone inerested. Mark douglas has videos on youtube (highly watching all 4 parts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgaTlTfQnZI

Until then, stay strong and chin up.


Edit: Some of my fav. Mark Douglas' quotes (not in any particular order). He was a great trading coach for a lot big traders back in the day.

  • When you achieve complete acceptance of the uncertainty of each edge and the uniqueness of each moment, your frustration with trading will end.

  • When you genuinely accept the risks, you will be at peace with any outcome.

  • When you really believe that trading is simply a probability game, concepts like right or wrong or win or lose no longer have the same significance.

  • Why do casinos make consistent money on an event that has a random outcome? Because they know that over a series of events, the odds are in their favor. They also know that to realize the benefits of the favorable odds, they have to participate in every event.

  • No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation.

  • The typical trader doesn’t predefine his risk, cut his losses, or systematically take profits because the typical trader doesn’t believe it’s necessary. The only reason why he would believe it isn’t necessary is that he believes he already knows what’s going to happen next, based on what he perceives is happening in any given ‘now moment.'

  • It’s the ability to believe in the unpredictability of the game at the micro-level and simultaneously believe in the predictability of the game at the macro level that makes the casino and the professional gambler effective and successful at what they do.

  • Rarely will the typical trader stay with his system beyond two or three losses in a row, and taking two or three losses in a row is a very common occurrence for most trading systems.

  • If you can learn to create a state of mind that is not affected by the market’s behavior, the struggle will cease to exist.
