RE: Coinmarketcap soon to show letter grades next to each crypto project

in #crypto6 years ago

how do you know they will do honest work and not rig things ? do we even know who is behind cmc ? did they publish the names of the people who will be doing this ?
this tool will have power to kill projects , meaning controllers are taking the game to the next level ...

They pull their data from public sites such as github. So, in theory, if a company has a low ranking yet their github is very active one could cry foul on the ranking. It is semi transparent.

I don't think it will be relied on enough to have as much of an impact as you are implying.

I suggest you do little research on who are the guys behind 'Flipside Crypto' (that is the company providing the ratings) and who are they connected to ...
it is a huge red flag !

Why is that? They state the majority of the info they use to come up with these ratings comes from github and other public sites.

What 'they state' is irrelevant . Go check their team individually . Go check background of their CEO , what he does besides 'Flipside Crypto' . These people have ZERO credibility to rate any crypto project , their background is mainly in marketing and selling snake oil ...

While that may be true, if a coin's ranking doesn't match up with the activity that is happening on their github repository, one can cry foul. There is at least some transparency to these things...
