10661  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will the altcoin market ever get saturated? on: January 05, 2018, 09:18:18 AM
to the point where there wont be any new coins that will have mooning potential. I am asking this because currently I dont have enough money to make huge profits since I am a college student. What if I started investing heavily in coins in 2021. Will there be any new coins with mooning potential in that year(and in coming years)

Very difficult to say. When I started looking at alts seriously last year, I'd read a lot about saturation. At the time Bitcoin was just approaching 4k, and everyone said the market was already very heated. Eth was several hundred dollars, Monero was almost $100 if I recall, even Dogecoin was at 100 satoshi or so. And then, of course, alts just kept going up and up. By the time last year ended, we had several coins already above $1,000, and yet there are still new tokens coming out every day.

I think 2021 is not too late, if that's what you're asking. They will always be new potential, new ideas, but they have to be really good by then.
10662  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Any good new coins that are not ICO's? on: January 04, 2018, 10:51:58 PM
I like Viberate mentioned above and also Viuly (almos in the same space, depending on how you read into the tech). It was given out as an airdrop for Ethereum users, so you might even have some if you had any ETH in November or October, can't really remember. They looked like they spent quite a bit on marketing and development, without an ICO, so I suspect they are quite serious, plus the founder/CEO had a couple of really good interviews months back. Doesn't look like much now, but you never know what can happen if they strike it big.
10663  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Just bought 7 new altcoins... and stuck with BCH, Opinions? on: January 04, 2018, 09:19:33 PM
Can't fault your portfolio, it's really anybody's guess which coins will do well and which won't. At the current rate, if we expect trends to continue, the worst you can do after one year is to own a coin that's just stable in fiat price.

Regarding your BCH, yes it's stagnant, but it's really more or less following Bitcoin price, so... there's no harm in keeping it. If you believe them, they want to overcome Bitcoin, and if they're successful, you'll see appreciation.

Siacoin has really picked up beyond most optimisms too, of the coins you hold that's also the one I have confidence in.
10664  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin and altcoins on: January 04, 2018, 12:54:23 PM
A lot of people will say that the credit is not all due to Bitcoin but to blockchain tech itself but you're right. It's impossible to deny Bitcoin's spotlight has helped to encourage more growth in altcoins. Of course, a lot of alts were already around for many years, even when Bitcoin wasn't as recognized as it is today in mainstream, but these developers surely knew first about Bitcoin or participated as early adopters.

And Bitcoin isn't too bad in terms of performance in price. Yes, other alts have shown great percentage growths, but a 10% growth at 10k dollars is immeasurably harder to achieve than 100% growth at 1 dollar.
10665  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Please help! on: January 04, 2018, 11:39:10 AM
I think you should wait for replies from the cryptopia support team. Which is important when you deposit eth, its eth address is given by cryptopia and you've done the right thing.

Yes, unfortunately they're the only ones now who can help you, so be patient, always use one reference number for support and keep you support questions tight and to the point. Just send a reminder every week or so... but be prepared to wait for a very long time. Cryptopia is known to take very log times with support requests. As people mention, next time be extra careful, Only use deposit addresses given, and always always always double check. Crypto is great but people must be extra careful when making transactions. Spend an extra 15 seconds to double check everything.
10666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How often Bounty Campaign participants actually buy tokens? on: January 04, 2018, 09:22:26 AM
Not all bounty participants are buying the tokens which they are advertising. Only those who believes in the project are buying and holding it. Bounty participants are dumpers they dont know what is the real value of the token.

I think, when I first entered this scene, you would often see bounty participants also going into the ICOs to invest themselves. I was one of these, very early on. It made sense to us, support the project you like, get paid in the tokens that you will also buy during the ICOs, so you have a hefty sum of tokens to show for it. But then we suffered when there were other bounty hunters with a lot more stakes, who never participated in ICOs and just dumped everything. I got burnt, so unfortunately, have stayed away from bounties and ICOs for more than half a year now. I recall others in my shoes also doing the same. Hard to forget.
10667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Siacoin Epic Monster Moon on: January 03, 2018, 05:05:55 PM
Price has slowed down a bit, but I think with the great product they have and obelisk coming out soon, we will see more movement. Looking forward to hodling sia in 2018.

I was initially crushed when I bought Siacoin at 100++ satoshi, thinking at the time it was well and truly floored. We all know what happened after that! Bitcoin just kept on mooning and my poor Sias lost more than 60% value almost in a week. Anyway, very, very happy I hodled. Last week I booked in some of my Sia at almost x2 the price I bought them so completely recouped all my Bitcoins and then some. Now holding only several thousand Siacoin. Just over $100 in value overall, but I'll wait for it to drop a little bit more before buying back in. Entry points, anyone?
10668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: All my money in 1 altcoin - Too risky? on: January 03, 2018, 04:19:45 PM
Too risky in any commodity, any market. No one would ever tell you to put your money into one basket only. It's different if you're a supporter, a miner, or someone who just holds and didn't invest their life savings. They could put all their hope into one coin and still earn an income on the side, believing the rewards to come in years. But to put all your money in one alt? Even to put it all in on Bitcoin is too risky.

Don't be greedy, my friend. Play it safe. Well, not safe but less risky.
10669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Rate my Portofolio 2018 # on: January 03, 2018, 03:25:38 PM
Anyone can have their say, but I will give you my first impression: very well diversified portfolio across a good number of knowns and a few unknowns. I have almost a similar set up, except that my biggest holding is about 25% or a quarter of my entire crypto, and that's in Bitcoin. I would recommend keeping a bit in the most recognized crypto for you too, just because you want the most safest portfolio.

Other than that, well done I think. I would choose an anon coin to go for 10%, so maybe bump up Monero. I hold 3 from your list, I only dislike EOS there Smiley
10670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trendit - Earn cryptocurrency by creating viral content on: January 03, 2018, 09:31:49 AM
I love the name. And of course, it reminds of steemit. I have seen this business model in other companies. Sether is one and is on a very professional level. There seem to be a lot of promising projects in the ad/influencer sector.

Thanks for letting me know about Trendit and Sether... I actually really liked the idea of Steemit before and gave it a lot of time and effort, but ended up getting quite disappointed by all the returns which I got after almost a year (something like not even 10 dollars!). I guess what frustrated me the most wasn't so much that my original content didn't get upvoted or rewarded much, usually a couple of cents... but the way I would see new accounts gain 50 reputation in under a month and earn hundreds of dollars just for posting a pretty picture of themselves. Haha, yes I guess I am an unhappy camper. Will take a look at Trendit and Sether, hopefully a more fair system over there.
10671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: STRAT IS A SLEEPING GIANT ! on: January 02, 2018, 03:37:35 PM
100$ Q1. Tumblebit protocol bonus 2 vefiried icos will push it to the new high.
STRAT may reach 100 $ perhaps more than that but it needs some time , lets wait and see what 2018 hold for us #Happy New YEAR & # Happy Trading

I have been more than happy with the way my small holding of Stratis has performed, I mean guys, seriously who among us would have expected the ATH before 2017 ended, right? This type of platform project should take its time, should always be patient with holding, and never ever rushed into a headlong demand for profit. so let's give it time. Get back to old ATH. Stay there for months, and then we don't have to needlessly worry every new ATH whether it will crash and burn or not.

$100 should be a 2020 target, not even 2019. Let's all be cool and collected, Stratis-holders.
10672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin $3k by Summer 2018? on: January 02, 2018, 01:24:28 PM
There's a lot of talk on 2018 being litecoin's best year ever. Many people are hinting at a big announcement coming in the next few weeks/months regarding a partnership with one of the big three (Facebook, Amazon, Google).  My guess is if litecoin continues doing what it's doing now (being a low cost and easily use-able cryptocurrency) and it releases a few good announcements then the litecoin network will be worth $150b+ and each coin will be worth $3k. Easily.

What are your guesses?

I don't like buying into this kind of big news rumors, but yes, I suspect something big is coming. Litecoin team has been very busy with promotions, and now that the outside world knows about this little silver coin, there should be a few big names lining up to partner. I feel a bit sad as a Litecoin supporter to read recently that Charlie Lee will step away after LTC hits its old ATH, I guess even he couldn't take all the hate anymore. But still, I hope he leaves it in capable hands and continues to advice the development from Litecoin Foundation.
10673  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitDice Casino V4 MOST ADVANCED, SECURE, PACESETTER CASINO. TON OF EVENTS COMING on: January 02, 2018, 11:07:12 AM
this is a wonderful gambling i ever seen because they have treasure i love it.

I like the site most because of graphic and colors.

Not only because of graphic and colors but also it is a long running gambling platform.

I think it's good to sometimes have use see these kinds of posts every once in a while. The longer we stay in gambling, and in crypto, the more used we have become to a lot of sites looking the same, and we tend to prioritize things like speed, provably fairness, even fees and competitions. But it's easy to forget that when we were new, one of the things that attracted us to games are... how they looked! And I'm happy to say BitDice hasn't forgotten about that. What people see and perceive as beauty can mean a lot to the newcomers, sometimes the only thing that makes them decide to stay.
10674  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETH reclaim its spot as 2nd highest market cap? on: January 02, 2018, 08:36:25 AM
The marketcapitalizationof ethereum almost the same as ripple, it means if the competition between ethereum and ripple will be very strictly. How ethereum will come to the pos system in this year and everyone is able to stake their coin to the ethereum network. Ripple comes with so many bankers behind it to give a huge support to the open payment tech development.

Almost the same, yes, but they are different in almost every other aspect. Ripple was always going to make these waves if you consider from months ago the way the leadership was going to distribute their coin - or lock it up. Great strategy that shouldn't have worked, since everyone already knew how much was going to be in circulation, and to me the artificial locking up and circulation will eventually fail. But let's see. If Ethereum's own leadership makes some decisions, and they definitely can, a 1k price will boost it back into second place.

Ups and downs will definitely happen, everyone who does trading not only knows this but expects this. Booms and crashes are probably a little harder to predict than the usual ups and downs, especially since these cycles happen very differently in crypto. But from what I can tell in my personal experience, the booms tend to happen in strings, and sharply, with the crashes just as sharp, before sideways movement takes hold for a long time. Very hard to predict, and which is why I don't trade as much as I hold/invest now. Too volatile for me, but I suppose traders like that volatility.
10676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who will get 1 billion ripples at 11 day ? on: January 01, 2018, 08:14:20 PM
Ripple the amazing cryptocurrency alt with million and millions to lock up, give away, distribute and just do whatever the devs want to do. But hey, isn't that the lovely benefit of centralization at its finest? Oh and don't worry about your value dropping. The great leadership still has plenty locked away for promotion and future "institutional use". Keep on buying it, all of you, just keep on buying them and enjoy the ride until it all comes down around you.
10677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Authorship - ATS did not payout all tokens on: January 01, 2018, 10:34:08 AM
Don't know why you guys bring this up again after so long. They seem to have paid some people, they did not pay others. All I earned from it was 75 ATS, which I was never paid. No regrets and no complaints. Lesson to be learned is easy. If it's free, it's probably not worth it. If they pay referrals, avoid it at all costs. I didn't refer anyone so I don't see how I could have been considered to be "fake" but all water under the bridge. Move on, look for other projects, forget this one ever existed.
10678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best new pump group ! on: December 31, 2017, 08:01:32 PM
The good category for this should be in services section. You're offering a service, right?

Word of caution, pump (and dump) groups aren't very well looked upon here. They tend to take advantage of newcomers and generally start well with a lot of hype, and generally end in huge disappointment for a lot of people. But since people are free to make their choices in this new era of decentralization, I guess you're okay to post about your group.
10679  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: December 31, 2017, 04:35:52 PM
So as you can see, there is a notification at Kraken main site.

Quote
The service is under heavy load and performance is degraded. Upgrades coming soon. Read more.
https://www.kraken.com/

Kraken is now so down, that even trying to click and read that note is difficult.

Now when there is no xmr deposit addresses on my Kraken account, do you think they will claim that I have sent the xmr to an address which is not valid? Well that is not anyway true, I have been very careful about this issue, and checked that the deposit address is not even expiring, that it is valid for sure. Like it has. I have even the screenshot of it.

I recommend now everybody to be very careful with Kraken. I want my monero back.

The amount of xmr is not much in compared to my total xmr so I do not has to go too wild, but anyway it is a quite a lot in fiat, and will be even more in future. So this not really a funny situation.

Dude, this is all about Kraken and nothing to do with Monero. I can understand your frustration and nervousness, but you know the risks that you face when dealing with these exchanges. Anyway, you shouldn't need to worry much. I highly doubt Kraken will want to risk their reputation for a few thousand dollars. Just wait til it all gets better, then if your deposit doesn't show up, go through their support channels. Everyone has to be careful with Kraken and exchanges at any time. Hopefully you aren't using them to store your Monero!
10680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Digibyte?? Good or not?? on: December 31, 2017, 03:48:11 PM
its not totally bad coin, but there are many better ones for investment
i dont like that much community driven coins..

pivx, vertcoin, feathercoin, digibyte, okcash ... etc

i invested in vertcoin in the past, i really liked it
until i found that technology driven coins are more important

I on the other hand really do like community driven coins, for me the general sentiment of the community (minus speculators of course) is what attracts me to the coin. I think Digibyte, like the ones you mention (good picks too), are those that you need a lot of patience for, and are just good diversification strategy coins. But for long-term profit, and investment, you're absolutely right. Tech is more important, but with so many to choose from and no idea if the tech will realize, it becomes trickier to pick a winner from the pack.
