11081  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CANADA to regulate ICO. RUSSIA is next? on: September 14, 2017, 09:18:33 AM
Russia is the likely option, but actually, next could also be India, as it has already been in the news that its central bank is looking into ICOs. After China, India is the biggest country population wise. In terms of global population, China and India already equal about one-third of the planet's people. Remember, this is not about regulating cryptos but ICOs, which will be a good thing for everyone in crypto. Once it is no longer seen as a threat, people will recognise the difference between crypto as a tech and ICO as one of many funding vehicles.
11082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why so few ICOs from Silicon Valley? on: September 14, 2017, 08:05:30 AM
Why do you think so few ICOs are out of Silicon Valley??

Silicon Valley obviously led the last wave of tech development (roughly 1990 - 2010). There's a great deal of entrepreneurship there. There's one of the highest concentration of code developers there, if not the highest concentration in the world. There's venture cap, there's incubators, there's just about everything you should need to be leading the next wave.

And yet... so many of the ICOs are not from the San Fran bay area! In fact, most of the really big, promising ones are not even remotely related to California and often not even the USA. Why do you guys think that is??

Not just San Fran. Look at Switzerland and Netherlands and Singapore. So much fintech there, so few ICOs. If any.

I think a lot of the start-ups there are connected, or prefer to go through connections and networking to get their funding. With crypto, I guess they also go for the so-called angel investors and so on. ICOs may get them funding, but they still won't have the networks or reputation, that you get from being linked to the big names. ICOs are still people hiding in the dark, for the most part.
11083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where do you see NEO going on: September 13, 2017, 09:08:08 PM
Do you people think NEO will make a come back? Or its over since the infamous Chinese ICO ban?
I bought @ $40, $30 and now thinking should I get in at $20 or I will be putting more money down the drain.

Any thoughts?

It all depends on what you think of Bitcoin's direction. NEO may have risen independently of Bitcoin, but it's not going to go on its own path for the next few months at least. Where BTC goes, there NEO will.

Personally, I think this is the bottom of the dip for September. So yes, NEO like any other alt would be good to buy now, but only for a 5% profit range. Doesn't make sense for you to buy more at this price.
11084  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 ICO ANNOUNCE 15 AUG 2017! JOIN THE TRANSFORMATION! 🎰🎰🎰 on: September 13, 2017, 09:41:48 AM

A 350 US dollar dividend for a 10 Etherum investment? That seems way, way low.

Is my math really this bad?

10 ETH = 3600 USD.

If they raise 15 million USD, 1 token will be 0,15 USD. (page 21 in the white paper)

If they raise 20 million USD, 1 token will be 0,20 USD. (page 21 in the white paper)

The lowest goal BitDice is aiming for in their post ICO forecast scenario is $0.11 USD dividend per token. (page 20 in the white paper)

3600 USD (10ETH) buys 24,000 coins at 0.15 USD. 24,000 * 0,11 USD = $2640 USD dividend. Or a $660 dividend per quarter.

3600 USD (10ETH) buys 18,000 coins at 0.20 USD. 18,000 * 0,11 USD = $1980 USD dividend. Or a $495 dividend per quarter.

Am I wrong?

How did you get to your number crypto_warrior?


First of all, I think your calculations are correct, but only based on a big assumption that the forecast will be correct. But that's how dividends work. Dividends are a share of profits; in this case 70% of total net profits at each distribution. Theoretically, a dividend system could mean you get nothing if no profits are realised. However, we all know BitDice's track record so we can look forward to a high-performing investment.

Secondly, a $350 return on a $3,600 is just short of 10%. I can tell you right now, there are precious few dividend-sharing investments out there in the real world that give that amount in a year. This is only 3 months!

11086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China ban: who's the next? on: September 12, 2017, 02:05:38 PM
You have to look at the situation in China where a lot of scams take place, since there are a lot of people with money to splash around. This wasn't so much about Bitcoin, crypto or even ICOs. It was the government stepping in to heed the complaints from a lot of people. So if you want to know where is next, find out where people are complaining about scams.
11087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ark surpass the ethereum ?? on: September 12, 2017, 12:37:17 PM
Surpass the ethereum, hmm. None of the super big platforms are even coming close yet, even with all the partners and startups. Multiplier in a short time eh? Let's see if it can do x2 in one month. So that's October 12. It's already multiplied so much there's no short timeframe value to look at. Would OP like to provide some quick high-low predictions at 1, 2 and 4 week windows? Then we'll see how good you are at this:)
11088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Nexus Earth #nxs - the coin of the future no one talks about on: September 12, 2017, 06:12:09 AM
Honestly, the impact has already happened, it went from 1 dollar to 3 dollars which is more than a fair gain. People knew about this conference. Now I do believe as it gets even closer and post conference there will be some good action, as I believe the news is going to be very good coming out from the Aspen conference. Their idea is very unique to most other crypto's. He has a very large advantage that his father builds rockets and has a rocket company, once he has successfully launched the cube satellites and calibrated them correctly to integrate with the blockchain, this will open new doors. This will seriously break all barriers and allows seamless access to internet at virtually no costs, decentralized completely from space. There will be a whole new open world, one connected completely wireless with data at lightening speeds and transactions faster than you can imagine.  So yeah , I expect this crypto to reach some higher numbers.

-Ethereal

Why didn't this coin get featured or asked about here before this #1 coin price gain? Urgh haha. You're right, all the hype and conference is already factored in so this isn't actually a good time to buy in, since it will of course dip again. The only way is to keep an eye on the news. But with so much going on, perhaps the only wise thing now is to set buy orders at the dip and forget about it.
11089  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Coins are Securities? Are Baseball Cards Securities? on: September 12, 2017, 05:00:25 AM
But, one more difference is how easy it is to sell your ICO coin vs how easy to sell baseball card. Anyone can say hey my baseball card is worth $1000 but you cannot find one buyer immediately. Maybe you can find 10 to buy it for $100. Your ICO coin is always almost worth something which you can sell immediately. Usually something you don't decide:)
11090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Undervalued coins on: September 11, 2017, 01:50:43 PM
I have one question: how on earth can BitShares make any comeback, especially after the EOS ICO that has already taken in hundreds of millions (and will take more?). EOS as most know took BitShares and will probably displace it if not already. If I were the developers behind it, I'd be thinking: why waste more time on BitShares? Just outsource the dev and focus on EOS. Am I misguided?
11091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bancor - price speculation on: September 11, 2017, 08:06:51 AM
Should be an easy 2~3 time jump from the ico price

Bancor is now 41% loss in terms of price compare to the ico price based on https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico

The huge hardcap with low supply causes the token to go real expensive per tokens.
Anyhow As mentioned above, once platform is completed, it could be a real deal here
Total supply : 80M
Circulate : 41M

Ethereum has 100M+ and its growing and it is $300~400 on ATH

Tech coins could be really profitable if one could hold until the product launch

Yeah, I'm also curious to see all these tech coins perform after their current slump. One thinks with good tech and working product they would grow out of their dependance on overall Bitcoin price. I keep waiting to get Bancor after looking at its poor performance, which should seem like they're due for a rebound. The only thing is, what if it just keeps getting worse? When does the platform complete, does anyone know?
11092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best altcoins to invest in that still below 1 cent on: September 11, 2017, 06:56:23 AM
The problem with this is that we're looking for coins below 225 satoshi now... and the only way to do that for me is to look for tokens that start out as ICOs. But ICO tokens now are over-valued, starting at way more than that. We can be tempted to think it's the next Neo or WAVES, but I think we can all see this is no longer the case. Market is too speculative, too much valuation. There are alts around for a long time too but again, are we willing to wait for years and risk the coin getting completely abandoned?
11093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WHY THIS DUMP??? on: September 11, 2017, 06:20:54 AM
This is perfectly normal. When Bitcoin moved past $3,000 to $4,000 without even having its dip below 3k, I wondered when the profit taking would happen. I guess I have my answer now. 3k past 2,500 is not even 20%. They wanted double their profits at close to 5k. We should actually be impressed that this huge sell off can't even BTC down to below 4k.
11094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Suggest Me a Coin, And I'll Tell You What I Think on: September 10, 2017, 05:00:01 PM
What about a coin from your side? Even in a terrible market there should be a couple of alts you'd still pick, if not on strength of price short term, then on the valuation of the November bitcoin fork? Otherwise, I would like to hear your thoughts on STRATIS. It was above $7 and everyone said it would be $20, now it is around $5. And WAVES. When does it stop becoming good buy value?
11095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH HARD FORK, any tought? on: September 10, 2017, 04:07:32 PM
hello guys, i've read about the ethereum metropolis hard fork and i'd like to discuss about what it implies in terms of impact on the market and in the technical aspect of hard fork:

-I have the doubt that the dumps of these days are due not only from Chinese news, but also from the desire to lower the price of the etherum in order to accumulate more in view of the hard fork as it happened for bitcoins.

-From the previous thought comes the one of a technical nature =>will the hard fork be like for BTC? so keeping the eth in a wallet during the process will be with the same amount of new eth+ old eth?



Almost a valid point except that the target of the price war wasn't ETH but BTC. ETH had already come down to half its ATH even when Metropolis was confirmed (a matter of when and not if). The accumulation is happening even now as a result, with ICOs doing the exact same thing. It won't be the BTC hard fork, where you have competing. I think people will agree to it and everyone will just move on with the new ETH.
11096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anybody follow Humaniq? on: September 10, 2017, 10:19:24 AM
Great moment to buy HMQ, at the moment price is 0.10 $.
For me Humaniq is long term project since ICO was over only in May. Application is to be launched in September. Due to restrictions and regulations Humaniq moves forward step by step very carefully and it is not about many only but project for humanity.

I followed it for a while, when Mr Buterik was all over the pages being promoted together with it. I even read and watched all the videos from their ambassadors. Been so quiet now, almost forgot about it. I see that their token price isn't very good right now, compared to ICO price? But you never know with these hyped projects.
11097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: List of "Airdrop Coins" based on BTC balance per specific date on: September 10, 2017, 09:27:25 AM
Stellar Lumens is also another airdrop. They already made two big distributions, one just recently. I'm not sure when the next one will be, but they will usually announce it on the website with instructions. Here is a post with more info on the last one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1982657.0

BitCore is strange, never heard til now. Don't think I had anything outside of exchanges in April.
11098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Artemine ICO soon (Minereum 2.0) - They will launch a ICO Factory on: September 09, 2017, 01:20:34 PM
it's scam,

the devs who holds minereum wants to cash out at high prices

I don't think so, the devs have delivered what they promised, time after time again. Right now they're setting up a company in Switserland to handle the ICO, which can be expected to happen at the end of this month. Also, all the MNE received will be burned, pumping up the MNE price, which indeed is good for the devs, but also for the investors

There are a few projects who claim to do this now, burning tokens and actively participating in the pump through buy walls. But what does this say about the project itself? Shouldn't a good project just focus on development and let the market take care of itself? Unless the whole project is just about profit, and then what is the use of having a development product? Anyway, ICOs are risky now. Let the China news play out first!
11099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is everybody's opinion on IOTA? on: September 09, 2017, 01:07:22 PM
I don't know if any alt can hope to be higher than BTC, not in 5 years at least. Yes, the ideas behind Iota are wonderful, but are they more wonderful than the ideas behind the current top 10 alts? OK, except Dogecoin of course. There is something today's prices tell us and this is that ideas are not yet the driving force. Look at Bitcoin Cash for example. The smallest in terms of ideas and they are number 3.
11100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything down today...what to buy, what to buy :) on: September 09, 2017, 11:35:20 AM
Almost everything was down double digits today but climbing back up.

I picked up some more Waves, DGB, XEM, SIA

What you all grabbing?

I picked up some doge and steem. I'm staying clear on all ICO coins till it's clear what their status is.

So it looks like I'm not really so unique after all hahaha. I picked up exactly Waves, XEM, Doge and Steem all in the same amounts (totalling about $50). I know it's not much but it's really more than I even intended to spend this month. If the market goes down even more, then I'll be buying another $50 next week. Good call on ICOs, put them way back at the end of the line for now.
