He isn't saying soon, he is just saying that is what he expects. And he is basing this off his experience with being in crypto for seven years. I believe he is only giving a word of caution that markets are cyclical. Perhaps this crypto thing is still new and we won't observe steady trends for a long time, but I think he is right to expect what should be expected. He is one of the few realists around, I really like him (and Litecoin).

If you're a Litecoin holder, then the price doesn't matter. If you're a profiter/trader, then sure, lock in your profits now.

Fully with you on this. I was well prepared to wait an entire year for it to reach $10 but now that seems to have been breached, the next natural target will be $25, given that this year we'll see several objectives on the development roadmap reached. I also predict that a couple of big clients will want to use the Waves platform for their launch, once they understand its current advantages over Ethereum, yes even Eth 2.0.

New money will certainly come in, far more than 2017. Time to buy up Waves is probably now before it hits 100k satoshi again.

OK, just to shed more light, I would like to add my own experience on Bittrex. I only started using since August, when I wanted to get an altcoin I did not have on other exchanges. I signed up first for Basic, since I never have big deposits or withdrawals. After depositing BTC I bought my altcoins.

I started withdrawing several times (after buying alts with BTC) and never faced a single problem as I kept to the limit. Withdrawals were processed in 10 minutes and I got them in my wallet after that.

However, I strongly suggest, if you want to use centralized exchanges, just verify yourself before doing anything. Saves you the trouble later. If you don't ever want to be verified, then don't ever use exchanges like Bittrex. Unfortunately, this has to be the way,

What a time to be alive! I never expected Litecoin to be my moon coin... Sort of makes me "regret" that I only invested in 10 when it was above $40, but it was a huge investment for me at almost my three month wages, but wow no regret at all. And here we were wondering if it would break and stay above $100! I know Charlie Lee mentioned a lot of marketing in the works and an all-new promotional drive, but even this sort of rise was truly unexpected.

I suppose we should now expect it to correct below $200? Or will it climb even higher to above $300 and stay there? What a glorious day for Bitcoin's little brother!

Neither am I. I'm more Monero than Dash simply because I can use it at more places, plus the Dash rise is simply too steep for me to enter. Reality, market cap, I doubt these are really trends for crypto at the moment. Also doubt Dash is manipulating Monero, they have a reputation to repair, not further damage!

And there are plenty of coins my other holdings that bleed like Monero, so I just take it as part of the game of coins. And yes, at least it is holding onto some of the gains, somewhat related to Bitcoin. All good and am not complaining.

Probably OP needs to understand that MyEtherWallet supports the entire Ethereum blockchain digital assets. This means chiefly, it is an Ethereum wallet, but you can also use it to transact with Ethereum-based tokens (ERC-20). They're called coins sometimes but they all actually run on the Eth blockchain and network.

In fact, any ETH address should be able to receive tokens (since they are associated with that address) but you can use MEW to actually spend them. Any block explorer should otherwise show the tokens owned at your address.

Of course everyone who is holding Waves will be happy, not least myself! So yeah, this is an all time high, and corrections were incoming, but I'm sure most of you are also like me, bought Waves with BTC. So relatively speaking, I am *still* at a nett crypto loss even today when it is almost 80,000 satoshi. It has to reach a solid 0.001 BTC for me to achieve the value I bought my Waves for.

But don't take this as a criticism from me at all. I'm a huge Waves believer, and even if this coin reaches $100 I will be holding for a very, very long time. I don't know about comparing it to ETH or BTC in terms of network speed, since Waves doesn't have the same volume. But the underlying tech is impressive, and current useability is just wonderful.

Not entirely sure myself, but I'll share my experience with exchanges giving out based on snapshots style airdrops: they always freeze deposits and withdrawals until the network is stable, or snapshot is confirmed. I don't think trading itself will be frozen since they can rely on the snapshot and just distribute based on that.

The same will apply for Ignis, as soon as credited. They are just crediting, and assuming the system accounting will be enough. Trading should happen almost immediately, but not for deposits and withdrawals.

Same here. I only bought mine several months ago when alts were all in a huge downward trend, believing it to have reached its floor. Of course, Bitcoin wasn't done yet and all my alts almost are still in hugely negative losses (versus satoshi). Still, Wings will always present a good entry at these levels, and like you said, if I look at fiat prices, I shouldn't be disappointed at all.

One dollar is a very good and realistic target. Once that's achieved, and it will be in 2018, then we can sit back and relax. Until then, a coin to slowly accumulate.

Well, if you think about how we all felt about a $10,000 Bitcoin by end of 2017, we'd remember how unlikely that looked. And yet here we are at over x15 price growth. So, I don't know how to feel about a $100,000 Bitcoin by end of 2018, as it will "only" be a x8 growth. Possible? Yes of course. Likely? Unfortunately I have to say no. But I won't be too upset if I'm proven wrong!

Scaling issue, by the way, is not a problem. Somehow, I think all this congestion and raising fees have shown how much in demand Bitcoin is, and somehow even is partially responsible for the price coming up so high.

Of course it's a good thing. For one, it shows a real world utility for the Ethereum blockchain's smart contracts, for another, it helps game devs make money from a new concept.

Network congestion? Don't you think it's good that this game demonstrated that the network needs to either scale, or to find a way to accommodate all these dapps if it wants to survive? It does make me think though, with all these ICOs and projects on Ethereum, and the network only breaking because of a game, does this mean no one else is using the hundreds of Eth blockchain projects already launched?

Take it easy guys, your Diamonds, Silver and Gods are running anywhere. Just wait for a good wallet to feature and support the coin. Wait for the network to recover and become stable, and then claim your fork coins. History anyway shows us that all fork coins gain value AFTEr they become secure. Look at Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. They've both traded high on futures, and then dropped like hell, and then come up like hell too.

So, just wait and watch. Your opportunity will come when you are ready, no need to sacrifice worry and security of your Bitcoins.

Well, it's early days yet and this pattern is purely in the same vein as most PoS coins with a semblance of success. PoS looks very mouth watering if you look at the promise of easy returns for next to nothing - and if you consider the type of stakes this one is having... it's really no surprise for the price potential. I'm keeping my eyes on this (yup, I'm starting to get the PoS itch again), though the number of people claiming instead of buying isn't really that comforting. I might see myself dumping about $10 in this before Christmas.

Same here, slightly less than half a year and actually in total loss since I bought them with Bitcoin, but I always knew this was going to be something I wanted to hold for years, well into 2019 to complete two years, and possibly even longer. I was an immediate "fan" after first getting to use the Waves platform, it was so smooth and so slick, and well, I use it to hold some other currencies even.

Not too concerned at all about the tokens that have been using the platform (I admit I even held two or three which have zero value til today) since early use will require all sorts of characters.

Correction probably incoming. I add a couple of Waves every dip below 50k sats!

You're talking about altcoins pegged to a commodity or altcoins that simply don't have any value at all forever? haha. You can'y have a stable altcoin unless you want to peg it to USD, like Tether or Steem Dollars. Then again, as you can see, their values still rise and fall against pegged currencies and there are always pressures for the coin to unpeg.

But if you're talking about altcoins that have very stable price historically, then you want coins that only rely on organic growth, building its own slow adoption and development without marketing and with the influence of speculation trading (that is, not listed on exchanges). You can find a lot of these coins on bitcoin garden.

Thanks for sharing the chart. I really like it to be honest, I mean sure you can criticize it for being almost sideways for its entire lifespan except for one tiny bump earlier on, but if you take into account the value against BTC, I really like it. Long time supporter here, despite some disappointments in masternode earnings and overall drop in listening percentages, I still see this as a future potential.

Not sure the dice idea is great, but if it can make the MNs more rentable, then I'm all for it. Might even be tempted to run in a few plays myself.

Well, as usual crypto never fails to surprise. Out of your list, Bitcoin has almost achieved that at 80% plus. What's that saying again? Never bet against Bitcoin?

IOTA was bound to happen, but I think partially owing to pump, but never mind we never saw you set any conditions. The biggest surprise for me is EOS. I still can't believe this project hasn't been put down by its obvious greed. Just checked their website on pure curiosity after seeing this update, and it's already at 2.0? Still collecting lots of ETH as I can see. I wonder how much they're still collecting on a daily basis?

I don't think it's wise to make this a DO A or B question. If you want to buy or invest in Bitcoin, it should be based on your own solid research. If you want to invest into an ICO, it should also be based on the same interest to actually be a part of the project, and it should also be based on solid research leading to your decision making.

Either you do something because you are led to believe it is the correct decision or you stay away from making rash decisions.

Oh, by the way, I've stayed away from ICOs and only believe in Bitcoin and a few other non-ICO alts.

If you think you can't be bothered, then don't. That's kind of what we're all hoping for actually. That all these forks will be considered useless and a nuisance, so that in the end these moguls and whales with thousands of Bitcoins will stop seeing forkcoins as an instant money making machine.

Imagine, even if these fork coins end up worth less than 1 % of Bitcoin's price, that's still more than $150 of free money for every Bitcoin they own. It's pretty disgusting, really, and makes all those people who hate cryptocurrency say "told you so". We need to stop supporting these useless forkcoins.

That's the same for me, and the same for most people in crypto, whether they choose to admit it or not (that's right, even Bitcoin Cash people still hold Bitcoin, of course they do, they know who is king). Say whatever you want about other coins, but Bitcoin is not just talk it is showing the walk every day and every alt is moving in its footsteps, like it or not.

Of course, any sound principle of risk diversification means we shouldn't put faith in one coin. Anything can still happen now, tomorrow or a year from now. I hope it won't crash, but I'm going to have my seat belt in anyway.
