Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, i'm always reading post here but is my very first topic. I'm trying to study and understand the crypto market but is not the right time to make prevision.

However i'm here to spread the attention on SHIFT.

First of all to be clear i would like to point out that i have a small stack of 180 bought at 0.0003800.

The pourpose of this post is not to pump it just because i'm in (my stack is ridiculous), but to explain why i'm in and understand, in case someone disagrees, why i'm wrong.



Well, firstly they aim to decentralize the web, it's seems to be interesting and at least original. Through my researc they seems to be active in developement.
The marketcap is still low compared to big players, low circulating supply, dumped 3x from the ATH and still down while the other are shyly rising up.

So for me the point is not if but when.

I agree with you on most of the point.
Shift has good team behind it.
But the trading volume is very low.
Shift needs some attention from big whale.
Then it can go higher in my opinion.

Or they need very active marketing machine

If you're holding your Shift in their online wallet they are as good as gone. The devs have control over all the private keys

That's a quite tendentious statement. Though, private keys communicated in plain text is a very serious design flaw. Especially in crypto we may expect security by design and a code quality review process.
As I understand, the problem was not recognized immediately as 'critical' by the development teams of RISE/Shift/LISK? Only after some community pressure? Then it sais much about their security awareness and development skills...

My analysis on Shift: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047973.msg20407368#msg20407368

TL;DR: Not a sleeping giant. But has potential.

am buying some shift on dips. don't know if i'm a believer really but seems worth a gamble, i think it can go to 5$ in short to medium term and plus maybe they will surprise with something good so i will keep some for longterm maybe

I have invested in Shift (about 1BTC) despite not believing in it 100%. As soon as they come up with some sort of collaboration effort with IPFS team this will absolutely take off, and be a main Sia competitor (which I think Sia will be dominant, and Shift will be the shitty alternative, but still popular).

Shift has different use-cases from Sia

Yes I am aware. IPFS is not really for long-term storage and as Taek says, an HTTP replacement.

Shift is going down preety hard right now... a good moment to get in on it maybe ?

In any case it really sleeps very well .. :D

No, it is only going down because people want their BTC in case of the hardfork. They will get 2x the amount of BTC.


The hardfork will not happen though. Miners have already voted with > 90% confidence of the New York Agreement.


Wait until this blows over. I would actually buy in 2 days from now. Then you will see MASSIVE buy-backs.

Many sleeping giants that still need to discovered.

 Invest in coins from big to very small. 20/40/40  

Very small coins can go up 1000x, diversify. Put enough money in it and wait for the jackpot.  Most coins started very small and did climb x1000 before they have a 50m marketcap.
 Read, investigate and buy. Pray
I did my homework, next pump and im done.

Any ideeas where i could buy SHIFT or any altcoin in general for fiat ? Thank you

i think it's better to wait right now, if it will resist above 0.00021-0.00022, there's a good chance to bounce up, otherwise we could find steps at 0.00013 and 0.00010
 but i'm newbie so maybe i'm wrong =D

Very good post. My thought and strategy is very similar with perhaps a bit different ratio of 15/30/55. Trying to catch that one coin, that one investment that will turn my $1000 into half a million and those can only be found with coins that have a market cap well bellow 5 million

Shift is a long-term buy and hold coin for me. Should go up big after Aug 1 bitcoin FUD is out of the way.

Every time I try to buy shift on bittrex it stays in open orders for days and I never receive all if any and end up canceling the order. Why is this. Every other thing I've purchased on bittrex went trough within a minute tops.

Pay a little more

Why in the world would anyone want to buy a coin where the devs have access to your private keys if hold it in their online wallet? It baffles me

I wanted to buy some SHIFT but I am still not sure about the price. The price was 500-550 satashi at the beginning of this year and now even at this crisis time the price is nearly 20000 satoshi which means X40 profit for  7-8 months. I know the ATH was nearly 120000 satoshi but I think this is some kind of risk. This coin can go up or down. Both directions are possible

I have a lot of Shift. I'll dump some of it soon.

sold my shift at 2700 waiting for the bottom  ;)

Good God it's going down faster than Mike Tyson's wealth ! Nearly on the third page of coinmarketcap now

The coin is still cheap and worth buying ...

There will be a rise soon after Phantom and app launching ....

This thread made me Laugh Out Loud. LOL!  ;D

The post is by someone with 6 activities and commented by people with 1, 2, 21, and much lower activities. What is this thread all about? Or is this a newbie group thread?  ;D

The problems with your claim is that (1.) there are already so many claimed to be sleeping giants and finally, (2.) these giants might not really wake up. They might be sleeping forever.  ;D

At least shift is coming from a 30M market cap just five weeks ago, which is about 4x the current market cap.
So it transformed from a child of a giant to a baby giant, don't know if that can be reversed soon. But I also don't know why it was dumped harder than most other alts.

there are so many giants sleeping and newborn, which will grow up to be look up

lets take a look at september how everything evolves with phantom

Yep. I would agree with that.

Looks like this giant is waking up, finally. Been hodling since the last pump in summer.

That MACD cross looks sooo sexy. Great time to buy, looking for at least 30%.

you are completely right dude,
The shift  is a truly unique and beautiful project.I think the shift will be valued in the future

...lost almost  50% of my investment in shift
i think i'm going to stop loss here also if it's so painful

I am hodling shift hoping it to go up. When is this giant waking up?

When will it wake up?? Looks as though its gonna keep sleeping. I myself bought 3,000 Shift hoping to make a good profit. Shift has been developing for so long yet nothing happens while Substratum recently started with their ICO and already valued more than 2x Shift.

things need to get to roll first the website gets released in a few weeks (i think)
with no marketing at all in the beginning it will be very easy to move along with that low marketcap when it starts
while the probability gets lower to sink lower than it already is. phantom is in the testphase and the devs delivered already work
while many icos dont have anything to show. i am very convinced that it will rise. they wont throw all the time and work of development away because shift is in development since a long time and still gets developed with a new dev who released a new wallet a few weeks ago.

1$ is one of the best opportunitys you can get with that low supply of 11m coins and the worth of this ipfs project.
i also think they want to keep all this in background to get the price lower and lower for big dividends that will come.
you just need to throw a big rock at once on the scale and it will work as a catapult.

Dev team working like crazy atm. They will deliver. Just want all done before any news leaking or trying not to get their hard work (coding) copied before the launch of Phantom.

It depends on whether it will be popularized at some point because as you wrote the team and the people which are in it dealing this coin are very good and good looking in future.

I def hold some shift.  Great dev team.  Was the 2nd coin I bought after ARK

well if you can attract big investors with a good road plans and better updates for sure this coin will jumped high but its still sitting down and
waiting for some good runs, if planning for long term investment i see that theirs a good chances that this coin will bring good earnings just
like what other quality coins out there, shift is for long term investment.

With such a low marketcap and circulation supply I would say shift is good short term and long term investment.  If shift does any amount of marketing they should be able to easily 5x their market cap which would still only be $50 million!  SHIFT is a very overlooked coin and if the price dips any lower than $0.70 then I could see a lot of people starting to load up.  Not only that SHIFT is another fork of LISK similar to ARK. 

LISK mcap = $542 Million
ARK mcap = $259 million
SHIFT mcap = $11 million

Going to take a $1000 punt on this - what exchanges is it on? Kraken, Polo????

Shift is the Snorlax of crypto, it aint never gon wake up son.

shift is really moving today.... any news coming??

i have faith in this coin but as many said it has been sleeping for so long but when it moves it will make us good money

I thought this coin was dead but reading this thread give me hope!!
I think I will keep holding it :) Any date when it can go to the moon? Or at least sky-limit?

end of the year the website gets released with animations and video
