Title: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: 111magic on May 21, 2014, 06:45:48 PM We have already several types altcoins. different colorcoins, different animalscoins, different crapcoins and various scammers.
All altcoins depend on the bitcoin. If it will decrease / increase the altcoins go along. As we all pumping too much money into all sorts altcoins it will not have a positive effect on the bitcoin. So play a little with the altcoins and keep the BITCOIN alive!! Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive!

Crypto's are here to stay in one form or another.Maybe as a world reserve currency Maybe as a viable way for internal payment systems in big companies. Maybe just as a collectible. I'm glad I can say I was there when it happened to my grandchildren. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: Clegg on May 21, 2014, 07:11:50 PM It is growing and continues to grow.

Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: Mr Tea on May 21, 2014, 07:36:44 PM bitcoin is the next world reserve currency right beside gold We can only hope. It would be pretty cool if goverments started holding it. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: bluemeanie1 on May 21, 2014, 08:28:06 PM Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: franky1 on May 21, 2014, 08:41:06 PM So play a little with the altcoins and keep the BITCOIN alive!! bitcoin wont die. so relax. if the price tanks, people will buy in cheap. its self propelling and wont stop. just learn to not sell at a loss and if it tanks temporarily, use that opportunity to buy more. NEVER sell at a loss or you, not the world, but only you will be the loser. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive!

Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: findftp on May 21, 2014, 09:28:59 PM bitcoin is the next world reserve currency right beside gold We can only hope. It would be pretty cool if goverments started holding it. They *say* they will sell, but they never will, at least not the coming decades. Don't listen to them, look at their actions. China probably stole the goxcoins to become leveled. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: commandrix on May 21, 2014, 09:35:00 PM When BTC gets the attention of the financial sector, I'm happy. There are people who say it won't last, but then, I bet they said the same thing the first time some cave man picked up a pretty yellow rock and brought it home to show his friends. "Dude. You can't eat it," that sort of thing, right? The main thing is that BTC needs to STAY ADAPTABLE.
Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: bitsmichel on May 21, 2014, 09:35:41 PM Quote All altcoins depend on the bitcoin. except NXT. NXT marketcap is very small still, the whole altcoin market cap size is less than 11%. From the NXT site : Quote Bitcoin introduces new coins by people mining. This involves a series of computers around the world working to solve math problems, if successful the system release a predetermined amount of Bitcoins and move onto the next block. This system is called proof of work. What's this about, give yourself 100% of the coins and decide what to spend them on?This is a very expensive venture with many "mining rigs" costing thousands of dollars and consuming a huge amount of electricity. As more people mine, it becomes harder to earn coins and run the Bitcoin network. You could spend a lot of money on dedicated mining machines and ultimately not earn enough to pay for the equipment let alone the cost of the electricity to run it. With NXT on the other hand, all coins that will ever exist already exist. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: rhino34567 on May 21, 2014, 09:43:17 PM I feel like the OP thinks altcoins are taking away from Bitcoin, but really, I just see it as another asset that you can easily obtain through BTC. I see BTC as a currency, alts as assets. But that's just me.

Meanwhile in Bitcoin, I get a piece of the value simply by running some hashing machine? Now that makes no sense. -bm Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive!

If there is no mining complexity, the first users could simply buy large shares of the market at a low price. Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive!

Agreed +1 The country who is first with bitcoin to go all in will become the world's first true super power after the board is reset. Try to imagine for a moment what would happen to the value of bitcoin if world governments got in on the game to use bitcoin even as a reserve... The moon would be a pitstop Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: jbreher on May 22, 2014, 02:29:57 AM Quote Bitcoin introduces new coins by people mining. Oh my god! You mean our using bitcoin is dependent upon mining for... PEOPLE?!?!? Soylent Green is made from people! Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: Ron~Popeil on May 22, 2014, 03:07:32 AM Alt coins are great laboratories for innovation. It is much easier to experiment with lower market cap coins to see what works and what doesn't.
Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: likesbtc on May 22, 2014, 03:08:17 AM bitcoin will more likely increase by several folds to stay alive.
Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: neighborrr on May 22, 2014, 12:09:15 PM Why do you think that all altcoins depend on the bitcoin? I suppose many of them are totally independent

I suppose many of them are totally independent Most of them rely on bitcoin to be purchased. And if bitcoin fails, what hope do other coins have?Title: Re: BTC must grow and stay alive! Post by: littlewizard on May 22, 2014, 11:24:50 PM I think BTC will grow over time. 5 years, 10 years later, it will worth much more than current value.

The moon would be a pitstop The first country that accepts bitcoin as their currency would actually be giving up power. Smaller countries would benefit from using bitcoin as it's primary currency as BTC could be more stable then the country's own currency. This is similar to how some countries use the US dollar as their "currency" |
