1. Kinesis could delete or change their "blockchain" any time they want, it's a fully centralized, they control the whole thing including the code that dictates how the system works. It's in their terms of service.
2. "It's public. Anyone can look at the blockchain and see every single transaction that's happened since the beginning."
No, only if they have the technical skills to access and interpret all the data, it's not easy.
3. "Distributed" is not "decentralized". Full control of this "blockchain" or network lies with Kinesis, unlike real decentralized blockchains like Bitcoin.
The whitepaper promised "decentralized", they lied
"Watcher nodes" have no influence on the network, they access the data that's available and creating a copy of it. It's no different than a snapshot of a web article on archive.org. It has no power or influence over the network, the power lies 100% with Kinesis.
Have a look below to see how "quick and easy" it is for "anyone" to setup a "watcher node" and then get the full history from it 👇
The whole "blockchain," "not a blockchain," "what kind of blockchain is it" topic is a red herring.
It's mostly irrelevant because the vast majority of #KinesisMonetarySystem assets are custodied by and transactions handled by Kinesis Cayman Islands based centralized exchange.
Kinesis Cayman looks like #FTX and their entire operation is totally centralized, not just their phony "blockchain" which is not decentralized at all contrary to claims in their whitepaper.
"Through Kinesis blockchain wallet technology, our users – whether an individual or organisation – can easily send digitised physical gold or silver anywhere in the world, with settlement times of just 3 seconds, 24/7."
If there was an open market for $KVT and the price dropped below 5% of "listing price" (whatever that is), Kinesis would be on the hook to spend 20% of revenue or almost $5 million USD to buy back $KVT
"There are some community members that have been serving as market makers in the interim period (e.g.: @Forsytjr) He's generous and gives out discounts and I have bought from him too. Can recommend."
🤔😕 Are "community members" licensed to sell securities?
It's critical for Kinesis to keep the price of $KVT propped up because if it drops below $1,000 they have to use some of their rapidly declining revenue to support the price or else renege on yet another commitment.
