Firstly, the numbers: our total value is currently about 2810 STEEM (+1 STEEM), including 2219 STEEM within Steem Engine and a total of 19403 tokens in play. This gives ONECENT an ABV of about 14.48 STEEM cents (0.1448 STEEM), up slightly on yesterday.

We have now reached the 75% mark of the ONECENT trading game, although it has turned out less of a game and more of a fixed-term investment.
The ABV at the start was about 0.09 STEEM, and we have now reached about 0.145 STEEM; this is an increase of 0.055, or 61% in 150 days, equivalent to an APR of about 149%.
The graph above shows the progress of actual transactions, hence is rather jagged as market activity has tended to be low. This, again, shows that this has been treated more as holding investment than the envisioned trading game. Never mind, I trust everyone is making a very good profit!
Any opinions on this, please leave a comment.
Have a fine day!

“Most of them, the vast vast majority [of cryptocurrencies] are going to go away, and it’s because a lot of them were created with either an unclear use case or a use case that hasn’t proven out. And you already see that to some degree because there is no liquidity. Ultimately in the digital asset space, liquidity is critical to success.”

It further notes that an ECB-backed digital currency could have “far-reaching implications” for the financial system. Not only could it alter the way monetary policy is transmitted, but it could also render commercial banks redundant as people would be able to open accounts directly with the ECB.
Exactly! This is what I've been saying about Steem, that users have an account directly with the Steem central bank - whether they use that way, or not, is up to the individual.
