@Fragbait. That would be the ideal time to buy NXT for the Ardor snap shotting. No one in their right mind would be tricked to buy at these high prices just to receive Ardor which is not even proven to gain real adoption. So why take a risk at these high prices?

I would say it would be impossible to reach BTC parity. Are you crazy? But we have been proven wrong before with the case of Bitcoin. No one would believe it would reach prices above $100 4 or 5 years ago.

Give it about 3 months more and see how the price moves. The Ethereum foundation is running out of money and they have no choice but to sell their premine of ETH. Wait for this moment. The main problem is what whale is willing to buy a big load of ETH now that its reputation is tarnished and the ETH foundation was proven to be not trustworthy.

Yes. It is now going slightly sideways. It could be a good time to buy if it will be sideways because it means it is accumulation time for the investors. But we should make sure that the developers are also doing their job with the platform.
I take back what I said. It is not a good time to buy. The sell down is not stopping and the bid side keeps going lower and lower. The best thing to do right now is nothing but watch. |

I am not convinced that listing LTC in GDAX will make LTC go up like a mega pump. I mean what is Coinbase? It has being frowned upon in the cryptosphere right now because of Brian Armstrong's association with Vitalik and the support of the ETH hard fork. He even tweeted stupid things showing his lack of knowledge and is now viewed as stupid by the bitcoiners. There was also his support of XT. He has lost his clout in the cryptosphere and no one is really taking him seriously.
And "I am sure plenty of other exchanges, like Gemini and Bitstmap, will follow suit"??
What kind of talk is this? lol

All the good news about Factom keep coming and coming. Now I regret not buying more when it was hovering just below 40k satoshis. The trend looks like it will continue for months.

XMR might be the next altcoin that is worthwhile to mine. There is news coming out that Roger Ver was actually considering XMR starting 2 months ago. He must have been buying at low prices anticipating a rise in price. Maybe they are using the same formula as they did with BTC?

Yes, the Lisk price feels like it is being artificially suppressed by insiders via the exchanges. It will eventually move, and probably move big. I am thinking of building a position with a 150-200k target.
Well the whale is really not serious about making the price fall. When the traders started eating on his sell wall at 44k satoshis he immediately moved the sell wall at 70k satoshis. So the price have stabilized a little bit for now. |

Congratulations to LTC, the developers and the founder. But Coinbase is overrated. What has it really brought in the cryptoshpere? The possibility that it will be regulated?  Not even the twins from the facebook movie brought anything in the cryptosphere. Also Brian Armstrong has shown himself to be not that clever after those tweets about ETC. |

All was solved with 0.9. Hydrogen Helix. It was developed over a year and a half. And development of GUI and other not so important things was put aside.
Hydrogen Helix was implemented on January first 2016. At that time everyone could know Monero price will go only one way. Since Hydrogen Helix provided way faster future development.
So how will the users of the darknet market use XMR if there is no GUI and no light wallet? This will be a hurdle for them to overcome and it will also be a hurdle for wider adoption. The news of Alphabay and Oasis is hyped to much. If the buyers and sellers there decide to use XMR they will surely scratch their heads wondering what to do. |

ETC right now is one of the most obvious accumulation phases of all time in cryptoland. This is the classic "calm after the storm" pattern where whales play with people's mind and keep the coin on the low slowly creeping down, to then later on pump it again and challenge the ATH.
So if you buy 5 BTC now, you are doubling your money when we hit 0.006 again, and you end up with 10 BTC.
I don't see a better way to double your money now. All other coins have shit volume or are already overpumped (XMR for example).
Yes it is in the accumulation phase but it is also in a very dangerous spot. More hashing power is needed here to secure the chain and the original development team has already moved on to a forked chain which makes ETC's situation unique in the cryptosphere. We do not know where really ETC will go so it will always be good to be really careful when deciding when to get in. A dump could still happen. |

I fear the price decline will turn the miners off and will leave and go somewhere else. ETC first and foremost needs the miners right now. They need their support and it would be nice to receive some charity from them thru hashing power.
There are already posts in their announcement thread that some mining pools are already DDOSed from multiple IP's. Whoever it is we know they are ETH supporters.

If the use of XMR in darknet markets become increases and will get to a point where the transactions are in the millions of $, it could become the cryptocurrency of choice in the darknet and could replace BTC in the darknet.
The developers need to make a light wallet for this to happen. I do not even know why it is taking long to make a GUI for the current wallet.

So what happened to the $10k bet? Did they ever get to agree with something or was the other guy just trolling?
Nice to see it really happened. But I do not think it will really that big of a news. After the stupidity of Brian Armstrong shown in his tweets of ETC I have lost faith and confidence in him. I do not think he is qualified to run Coinbase.

They are funded for years, so they won't have to sell any of the foundation's ethereum. They could sell their personal stash but that's not related to foundation's money. I can feel you're starting to regret buying ETC as you can see it slowly being dumped.
They are not funded for years. Last year there was already news that they are running out of funds. This was when they made the Frontier release of Ethereum. Vitalik was calling out for more support from the community. It was almost like he was saying that he is leaving part of the development with the community because they cannot continue it anymore. Their burn rate is high. I do not know how they spend all that money. |

well significant if you use to buy or sell stuff on dark net markets
if i'm interested in the technology behind crypto and i'm not a dealer, i couldn't care less about it
A technology is in the end measured by its real world applications and value. When all is said and done you have to close the study books and go out there into the world and make something happen. Whether that is provide the thirsting junkies with their fix or growing legs on sub saharan amputee babies, all the rest is pseudo intellectual wankery or hobbyism. Now as far as crypto goes, one of the use cases it actually succeeded at is providing those who want to buy goods deemed illegal by whatever collection of mediocre numbskulls is ruling them with an avenue to do so, at a significantly lower risk than before. World hunger is still there, and the unwashed masses still haven't been provided with soap yet, but that's ok. We will get to that too, using blockchain, maybe. Or probably not. Yes. In the case of XMR I did not realize that something as simple as anonymity will be an important asset in a currency. I was already ok with the idea of BTC + mixing service until the Alpha Bay and Oasis announcement has me convinced that XMR will become a very highly used coin in the darknet. Maybe the developers should make light wallets to make it more newbie friendly and gain faster adoption. |

Price and volume is going under sea water. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER HARD FORK FOR ETC? IS IT GOOD FOR Etc?
For ETC, yes. A hard fork to remove the difficulty bomb and to fix the replay attack issue will be really good. This will make ETC truly diverge from ETH and it will make the platform more attractive to miners because by removing the difficulty bomb it is like saying that POW will stay for a long time. ETH will switch to POS so that will make the miners look for other coins to mine. The easy choice will be ETC. |

Be careful of cloudmining contracts. They are not usually profitable. I have saw many people who not made ROI investing in them. But of course it is cloudmining in BTC but I will still be careful before promoting somethng like it. It might be labeled as a scam and that will not give ETC a good reputation.

@Hollowman but that does not make sense. Why would he do that? It will also make his millions of LSK less valuable. There is a deeper reason for this.

Yes. I have the same concern as ashapasa. What if this ICO will make AMP go down in price. Then it would be better to just buy the ICO than the volatile coins in the exchanges.
