You know the problem with big sites? Support gets slow. Look at how a user has to resort to making a thread here to get a response. I personally think it's not good practice for users but since he got his response finally, I guess you can't blame users for trying. My take on Nitro: respectable, a lot of happy players... but can't seem to shake the feeling you get whenever you see threads like this. I think we all miss DirectBet, don't we? You bet, and winnings are instantly returned. No fuss about deposits and accounts. Someone please bring a service like that back!

OMG.. reading this forum for 3 years without registration.. never posted here.. but... oh Lord, newcomers always are stressed.. every year same sh*t happens.. every year same panic words like "we are crashing.. everything is going to hell"... stop it guys... just wait for summit G20... blockchain and perspective coins will be still strong.. the biggest rrestriction will be about private coins... they can annonce that such coins are illegal and being used by terrorists or something like that.. Germany accepted BTC.. Microsoft accepted BTC and BCH.. LET ME ASK YOU: DO YOU KNOW MORE THAN BILL GATES OR GERMAN GOVERNMENT?? yes, we may go down.. yes, the price will be dumped by whales, specially 1 or to days before G20... but, you should control situation..
Three years and *this* prompted you to register and make your post? I could understand if it was in December when Bitcoin spiked all the way to almost $20k, but this March news when we actually had a worst time in February? G20 is an important event for traditional finance sure, but it's really just where promises are made, and conveniently forgotten. Strange that after three years you still think that sort of political handshake could affect a currency beyond their control? |

I think the anaysis and conclusion in the article of Cointelegraph are rather interesting, as it shows less of an impact of the Mt Gox selling
on the Bitcoin price then was first assumed by many. Basicly it turns out to form a lessor factor in the current longterm downtrend.
This longterm downtrend was anticipathed by many traders ahead of the actual start of the downtrend, only to those new
to the market it all came as a large shock, somehow they got the impression that Bitcoin price would not suffer any longterm
price corrections and would just go straight to the $50.000
With regards to the title of this thread, i think i would have named it : Winter has arrived
Interesting read indeed, and not a bad analysis of the analysis. Like you said, a lot of decently relevant people did say we should prepare for the winter. I recall very well that Charlie Lee in the same week that Litecoin hit its all time high, Tweeted that people should not have short memories. He warned that anyone who had enough years should be happy that crypto was up, but should also be prepared for LTC to dash down to $20 again. Everything happens in cycles. And we should be well prepared for a long winter. |

Huh? Doug Polk explicitly said that he would be glad to help out if he sees something cool and plug worthy being done related to poker.
He clearly is jaded with how the state of online poker is right now with the high rake and all, and I think he would love to see something new and refreshing.
Maybe Bitdice could even reach out to him and try to get his advice on what an online poker site should do to offer a great platform...
Yep, if there is one thing crypto casinos haven't yet mastered, it's poker. Glad to see it's on BitDice roadmap, and there are SO many players looking for a nice place to play poker at with their shiny crypto. I remember playing it for a while at bit-exo but I'm sure BD can double or even triple up from that experience. Poker players tend to be very chatty too... perhaps that will add to the social aspect of BD that does need some improvement. Then again, if you're getting players dumping 0.13 BTC at x45 times on dice (shared above by BoX, perhaps it's just the profit aspect that's the only important thing. |

Not sure what you mean by allowing tokens to set their own transaction fees. You more or less can decide how much gas you want to pay by setting your gas price and limits, can even set it close to nothing if you are willing to risk waiting for days and weeks. You build a tokenized system on top of Ethereum, then you can't escape paying Ether. There's no way now to transfer tokens without it needing a transaction that needs miner confirmation. You want low fee or zero fees even? Got to use a completely different blockchain (check out DAG coins).

Real smart marketing moves from perhaps the most centralized exchange out there (I say this because I'm actually getting pretty tired of seeing Mr Zhao in that Binance shirt speaking at every possible news story I've read. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think they realize what decentralized exchange can really mean. They'll force you to use BNB tokens to get cheap commissions and fees. Maybe I'm just bitter with DEXs, but here's hoping to see it. Not ever buying that BNB though. Crypto's all wounded and I don't want to get caught up.

It would take a lot more than that to collapse Genesis. It's literally a giant corporation with so much hardware and finances to back them up. As user above says, they were asked to stop in one US state, doesn't mean they can't just pack up their mining rigs and ship them off elsewhere. Sure, they'll lose some profits for a few weeks at most, but trust me, they are going to find a way to get back to profitability. Worse still, they will likely pass the losses on to their customers by suddenly saying "contracts now not profitable". In fact, that's the easy way out. Just see what happens with all these cloud mining scams.

Banks will always be greedy and nothing will happen to them and as much as I feel you are saying all that out of bitterness to see banks go down completely, which I feel the same as well, unfortunately, it cannot happen. We all keep saying cryptocurrency is a threat, but with regulations, banks can start trading cryptocurrency as well and we may start having an over the counter transactions with banks, so at the end, they will still be able to play their card well to gain some relevance.
Presently, banks should not even see much threat yet since fiats will still always be needed until we get to a stage where cryptocurrencies can easily be used for day to day activities, but in that way regulation will still be the norm of the day anyway. Banks cannot collapse and even if the blockchain technology ends up taking over, they will still find a way to integrate it into the system to be able to stay relevant.
Can't really blame a system that was set up specifically to create the concept of money, and then create an economy revolving around their system... to want to maintain that system. But you're right. Despite all the things they've been blamed for, and all the things they have admitted to (how many global economic crisis have we had already? and debt crisis?), it's already so pervasive, so there's not much we can do to remove them even if we wanted to. Banks long ago recognized crypto's decentralization as a threat. But they have won many battles now, brought regulations and centralization and even their own cryptos now. Their days are numbered, but will still be around for a very, very long time. We and our grandchildren will probably even still see them get stronger first before that. |

Thanks for this free version. Although I don't really find being the first to know particularly useful. I mean, let's say you're a trader and want to buy tokens as soon as they're listed so you can take advantage of the short pump usually seen with new coin listings. Or let's say you're a dumper, maybe some bounty hunter who wants to unload instantly. Knowing that it's going to be listed doesn't help with placing the order. In fact, it might spoil the surprise for most, and result in less pumps? Just thinking out loud!

NEO should be in that list. It is the most promising coin of 2018 as it is just starting to grow with new ICOs and increasing recognition. The other coin with ICOs being released on it later this year is LISK. So good to hodl some of those as well, both will take a bite out of ethereum and do some serious growth this year.
I almost forgot about LISK actually, just checked now to see that my previous buy order on Bittrex actually never got filled (they remove orders now I believe if they are too long unfilled) which was good, since it's floundering like all other alts right now. Looks really good price in at 143k sats now. Just checked out their Twitter and at least it's still very active. Anyone think the new logo/mascot is a bit too cute, though? I'd almost say it deserves a place in that top 4 list OP puts out, but then I wouldn't even put in my Waves there. |

Interesting that you would consider UK a crypto backwater! They have been having several of those "neo banks" all based around UK, several in Ireland and Scotland and mostly in England, at least for two years? I can't remember the name of one but it even launched some ICO last year and was really successful. I guess now Coinbase will no longer be known as an American only exchange. I know Barclays is branched out in many commonwealth countries too, so maybe proxy access to non-UK but Commonwealth nations?

It was very interesting match between Roma and Shakhtar. Both teams didn't had many moments to score, but Shakhtar defenders made mistake by giving to much freedom to Dzeko and he scored. After that Shakhtar had serious problems to pass effective pressing of Roma. Well, you can't score a goal when you make 0 shots on target. And there was disagraceful accident in this match - Ferreyra pushed a ball boy over the advertising boards and looks that he was injured. It looks that Ferreyra will get serious penalty after game.
AndI remember many people saying that we may see 5 EPL clubs in UCL quarterfinal, but now it's most likely that we will see only Man City and Liverpool. Can't say that I surprised. Well, it's still better achievement than we saw in recent seasons.
Interesting, but I think a little bit dull. We knew Roma only needed to score one goal and then defend their away goals, but I guess there isn't much to expect from an Italian team leading 1-0 at home! But like you said, Shakhtar strikers couldn't even manage one shot on goal, either way, we have yet another underdog in the quarterfinals of Champions League. Ferreyra should be punished 100%. Don't care if ballboy injured or not. You NEVER act out as a professional, especially on fans. You should expect the home team to help waste time. Of course everyone was saying 5 England teams could play. That was a possibility. And we can still have 3... Chelsea could pull out magic and they have the edge! |

It almost seems too good to be true. Why only Ethereum though, and why does it force you to download a mobile app? I can't trust anything that needs me to install some software on my phone, especially when all my 2fa logins are from that same device. Make a no registration wagering option, otherwise everyone will give this a wide berth. Bloody tempting odds though. Got a proof of reserves? And how on earth is the jackpot possible with almost 10% house edge? Also, house edge on a sportsbook??? |

Manchester City is very close to winning the fifth premier league of its history!
Manchester City can win the Premier League on April 7 against Manchester United!
Moreover, it can easily exceed the record of 95 points of Chelsea and even make 100 points
Every United fan is dreading this game! If I'm not mistaken even a draw won't be enough? Or will it? If it is, you can be sure Mourinho will park his buses of Lukaku even, just to prevent the Red side of Manchester to give the Blue side honors. Treble is out of their reach thanks to lovely FA Cup hoodoos, but they will probably still break a few more records... 100 points in achievable. Even top scorer actually, as long as Liverpool and Tottenham don't continue their scoring form with their top strikers. |

So what does this tell us? Of the ten listed there, the technology they introduced weren't exactly special or groundbreaking. But the investors backing them? Big, big money that allows for intense marketing. That tells us, these start ups boomed exactly because the hype they built up propelled their prices. This simply means, check back with these companies in 2019 and tell us if they made good on their products. Okay except for Blockstream and Bitwala in my opinion, who already have a huge userbase, the rest are just boosted prices. Still can't compare to actual technological advances that reach real world use.

Now this. This is deserving of merit. Yes, I get that probably a lot in that list might not even be legitimate, and it's probably missing some huge crypto incubators that should be TOP of that list, but this is the first time I've seen such a comprehensive list. Your next step, or the guy on Medium who did it: initiate contact with the list and see what their requirements are. Or see if they even respond. Hope you keep this list updated and add details. Kudos.

Sia is laying on a old support from last summer and is extremely oversold on the daily chart, like most of the altcoins. That would explain the sudden spike from today, that should continue until the rsi rise above 30.
But the most interesting for SC this year is that Nebulous are going to get it on the ground of real world usage, instead of focusing only on code-side development.
As stated by their road map:
Sia becomes production-ready for cold storage, begins to be used by companies, and introduces file sharing.
Ah. Siacoin is one of my favorite coins. I got in mid last year, so was really downhearted when it kept falling, but managed to book in all the SC I needed in January to recoup every single satoshi I spent, and then some. Small SC bags are happily held, and I even added a healthy top up in February (yes, they're in losses now) but I wouldn't worry. I think the selling pressure as we all know by now is the continuing merge mining, but this year will finally see its usage kick in. And then we'll all be kicking ourselves for not getting even more. Just hope those deals don't fall through though. |

To all the other shit replies: If you invested in Google or any other fundamental tech startup at the time you would have made at least a x10. In Google's case a x30. Ever heard of angel investing? They also return x10 quite frequently, sometimes x100 or x1000. The only difference with ICOs and traditional investments is that we WILL get screwed over eventually with our useless ERC-20 tokens, myself included.
Also don't you dare use the pro-government strawman argument. If you want real decentralized tokens then these ICOs should be launched as proper DAOs. DAOs are fully decentralized and embrace the spirit of the blockchain, whilst conferring actual ownership of the organization with the tokens. Registered companies that are motivated by profit that issue us shitty utility tokens have nothing at all to do with decentralization or any anti-government movement. In fact they will comply with governments if they're forced to. DAOs don't have this issue. The majority of ICOs are not DAOs. Think of better arguments if you don't agree.
Exactly. Venture capital experts usually get in right at the so-called ground floor... in terms of stocks/shares, this is even before the IPO stage. I suppose the equivalent for crypto and blockchain ICOs are all those private funding rounds or "private pre-sales". They invest a huge amount, basically like a seed fund, and by the time the IPO or ICO comes out, they own shares at a tiny fraction of the price that even the earliest investor can obtain - very easily this can mean they get x10 or more, just not publicized. I got burned last year by these ERC20 token investments, I only made two serious investments, and truly believed in the ideas, but I'm really beginning to think now that I got duped. I get what you're saying about DAOs, but ETC holders will forever remind us that even that is a huge screw over potential. |

I will keep this thread updated thanks to you and to other members for appreciating what I've done here, As this thread grow old. I think I cannot check every exchange now and then but i'm thankful to other members for reminding me that there is changes in fee in a particular exchange.
I've notice that too. some exchange didn't bother to lower their fees. It force me to find an alternative with much lower fee.
It's a really good effort, thank you for this. I had not been aware, for example, that some exchanges I had stopped using precisely because of their increased fees, had already lowered their fees. I think the problem though is that, until these are changed manually, it will be very difficult to keep track of these changes. I think if users start discriminating against these unfair exchanges, we'd force them to be more reasonable. Competition is good for all of us. |

Very interesting article nullius, thanks. I think the one Negative bit is just too much to overcome at the moment (BitPay). The issue with wanting a good service, especially one so important as a pseudonymous email, isn't with the price but with the ease of maintaining it. BitPay is impossible for me to use (and I want to avoid it anyway).
The secondary issue, but also important: how we can be secure in the knowledge that the email service won't just disappear? I got really upset when Sigaint went down and it was doing so well!
