TRADE ALERT: Just bought a massive amount of ark (3rd largest altcoin position I'm holding)

This is a long term holding, not a trade. As I stated in my top five video, this is gonna be massive going into 2018. It's up there with NEO and ETH in my opinion. (From datadash alert)

there are many icos in big scale in line...be careful...it may reach 3x or 5x by min next year not much

Ark? I have some but I don't expect it to be anything incredibly big, it just happens to be part of my alt diversification strategy. I mean, the product idea is decent, but do I really believe millions will start using its interplanetary-scale blockchain database (among others)? No, maybe not in 2018 anyway. But hell, if it becomes even double the price in 2018, I'll be over the moon.

And since when did reaching 3x or 5x become "not much"?

ARK is never same or above ETH
ETH until now still the best altcoin

Even the cross bridge didn't get released yet, and i just think that should not become the competitor to the ethereum and neo. ark just lisk asset and that was nothing in my understand about that.

i wish ark would as big as eth and NEO.. Sadly it cannot/wont happen :(

Well i'm also very positive about ark and i hold some ark but expecting it to reach the level of eth is not realistic at the moment. Ark still has way to go as an alt coin. Ethereum is on another level compared to other alt coins.

Can you elaborate on why would you choose Ark over LISK for example? I mean, I know that you are just one of these screamers that post here everyday "coin x is great everyone let's buy it". But I'm really curious if you can persuade me to choose it over LISK?

Arks market gap still has room to grow. The other popular coins are hitting the ceiling allready.

ARK will be as big as ETH and NEO

Just for the transcript:
ETH is 19 times greater than NEO...
::)

ARK still has great potential despite price increases in the last months but I don't think it will ever reach the height of ETH, perhaps the price of NEO currently but by that point NEO will be 100+

I have lots of ARK and have faith on it but as many said...I don't think it is on the same league as NEO much less ETH.

By the time ARK reaches $20, NEO will probably be $300, ETH is $1,000...and...BTC is around $10K :D

It is best, because it is already on a market for some time and it is already developed coin. ARK is only approx several months on a market and it is still in stage of development, so it has all chances to reach ETH in a year for example. Also for ETH it is really difficult with all this new upcoming coins and smart contracts, we need some other coin, such as ETH to grow and go further.

Since a bunch of kids turned into "investors" by buying some random cryptos I guess.

Ark never will be as good as Ethereum. Because eth all time is changing and can grow up after fork. So in near future ark will not be better for sure

Ark is trying to make contracts and trades across multiple blockchains possible. That would make Ethereum just one small aspect of Ark's utility. So your assessment is fundamentally wrong. Whether or not Ark will actually catch up with Ethereum is another story though.

ARK should never be compared with ETH and NEO. I think everybody has their own class.

I believe so that why ledger supporting ARK too.

ARK lol, ETH and NEO are the top 10s. It cannot be compared to them!

Even though i like Ark alot! I domt see it getting anywhere close to neo or eth. Lets be fair.

but besides trading on exchanges, what does ARK  actually DO that you can't do with ETH?

Cross-chain transactions and possibly smart contracts that utilize multiple blockchains. While not yet implement, it's on their roadmap and would set it apart from ETH and other smart contract platforms.

long term yes, i am buying some now whilst it is low now and will see what happens over the space of 12 months

In my opinion there are too many whales in ARK, too much manipulation ...

And how exactly do you figure this?

It is a possibility though since we can never know what the future will hold. However, with the level of the level that eth is in and the technology that it holds, for ark to keep up or overcome eth, it will take a long time and will be a challenging one since as months go by and forks happen once in a whils, eth improves and increases thus making such possibility to be less likely.

what do you think this? i dont know what is ARK project? what strong points do ARK more than NEO ETH? Team, product...
i think to a new project reach to success like ETH and NEO is very difficult.

Ark is older than NEO, and NEO mainly benefited from Chinese hype. You can read up literally a few posts above this one to read about a very important fundamental difference between Ark and other coins.

Ark does have the right people on their project team that can make the price stay at a higher range. It just takes some time to keep things secure.

ARK is a flexible sidechain and using the JavaScript programming language is suitable for many programmers. ARK is a new crytocurrency and has dev team from LSK. The community of ARK is quite large. ARK is not inferior to NEO and ETH.

I do not know how big ARK can get but hodling some for long-term. A 5-10x
rise by 2018 end is possible.

There's more time to be like ARK, NEO or ETH. We'll wait and see .

Many people and analyst are saying something good about ARK and that means this coins a good coin. I study them today to see if it is something one can invest in and make some good money in future. If it can grow like neo and ethereum then I believe it will be something worthwhile.

I do not really believe in ARK . I think that he can not even catch up to Neo, and it's pointless to compare with ETH.

Ark does have potential. It is an awesome long time hold. It has a brilliant team and very strong network behind it. I would suggest to buy it at a dip. I can't say if it would be as big as Ethereum or NEO but it would be big for sure.

Keep calm. ARK takes time to develop, ARK is founded in 2016, ETH takes 4 years to develop, NEO has Chinese support. ARK is a cryptocurrency new, but it can not be as popular as NEO and ETH. I will still keep a bit of ARK in the long run.

One thing i know ark will pump and make money but im not expecting it as big as ETH and NeO. It was to far away from those two altcoins. All i can say is ark is lying on its strong support after a long time and it needs only one big announcement or something that has big impact in the ark and it will rise.

Ark is a great coin, once it has smart contracts with it's chain offloading it should scale better than many other platform coins, it has a good future ahead.
I'm not a fan of javascript for it's choice of language though, while it's a very common well known language, I would rather see support for more type strict languages, NEO has done a good job with this.

Great coin but it won't touch NEO or Eth, has it's place for sure though

Exactly so. New and not attractive compared to other altcoin. ETH and NEO are more popular and have more applications. That is the advantage of the early Cryptocurrency. Because ARK came out later, it took a long time.

Fast transaction speeds are normal with "low" volume. You can't really judge a coin based on its speed if it doesn't pump through hundreds of transactions per second.

The possibility is there but also the vice versa. Who can predict exactly what is gonna happen with them all 5 years from now? Crypto is full with scandal/greed/Ponzi scheme. Can you imagine if USDT is going to face justice (the court)? That can create a lot of turmoil among cryptos. I would say invest wisely and cash out when the storm is approaching.

I also believe that ark will be big but not as big as neo. Ark have a new features and it is unique. I regret did not buy it at ico but i start accumulate it from last year and it is still in profit. Holding for at least 4 years and if the project failed im not regret because i already involve in such good project.

why do you think so?

ARK this is a project that is still so far in the future and no more. Since there is only one person actively doing something, it will be very long and inefficient. And that's why it's not necessary to speak for him as something big.

If viewed from the rank of ARK still far below, still ranked at 40 more. Neo is ranked 6th while ETH is ranked 2nd. If in the near future it will be difficult but there is a chance ARK will be as big as ETH and NEO, but it does take a while.

cmiiw

Ark is strong project with active team. The price is very cheap right now so you can grab it and hold for maximum profit

Do not think that the ARK will be on the same level as the ether with neo. So far this is only a prospect that is stalling and can not reach the proper level, but neo and ether are something that can make a profit here and now.

ARK will never be like ETH. because ARK is completely different. ETH is the best altcoin ever and no altcoin can compare

finally I found a topic that talk about ARK ^^
basicly, ARK better than 2 others, but not too much well-know yet, but got a big community and high quality dev team.
but I strong believe that ARK has a chance to pass the competitors in future.

ARK was in my portfolio, but the price was almost not growing. I decided to sell almost to zero. I do not think that now he has many perspectives.

Ark have the other concept for crypto but it have another problem solving with its atomic swap i hope ark will be as big as eth and neo but maybe need time and many usecase so people have a strong reason to use it like people use ethereum and neo today. And ark also have no competitor thats what makes it good untill today.

Now ETH is much better than ARK, but this project is developing very quickly. It seems to me that ARK can become a competitor to ETH. But we should not worry about it because strong coins should always have competitors. The competition makes them better.

I do not believe too much in the future of ARK so to compare ARK with ETH and NEO I think that is not correct. ARK does not have many outstanding features and it really does not give the community a good investment so you can see its value has not grown much in the past.

What so special about ARK project? It is quite weak against the NEO, not even comparing it with ETH. There are many competitors of ETH, but only NEO succeeded so far, so why would ARK?

Until there are hundreds of tokens and applications being made on the Ark platform I don't think it can even reach anywhere near Ethereum. Do you even know how many devs are working for the Ethereum platform?
