Dash and doge aren't used for much.  I looked for sites that accept Dash one time, and there were only a handful of (non-darknet) places, and none of them offered anything I'd ever want to buy.  Doge is pretty much the same thing.

When crypto gets spent for goods & services, it's mostly bitcoin that gets spent.  Like it or not, crypto is mainly used for speculating.  Especially anything other than btc, ltc, and doge.

Yep, despite the threads on this forum that will complain and tell you otherwise, they're not a scam.  They are a legitimate exchange that functions pretty well.  I have an account there, but I don't do a lot of altcoin trading and thus haven't used them in a while.  But the times I have used them they've been good. 

OP, you're right to question this and you should question everything you read and discover in crypto, because things aren't always what they seem to be and there have been (as you no doubt know) several exchanges that have turned out to be scams.  So be careful.

You have bitcoin and then a large pile of shit--so you didn't diversify enough.  You ought to keep cash, gold & silver, and stocks as part of your 'diversified portfolio'.  Buying a load of shitcoins isn't really spreading the risk around, which is the goal of diversification.  If the altcoin market crashes, guess what?  They're all going down.

Yeah, so did you make any money?  This looks like it was just a P&D attempt--which is exactly what I figured it was, with no real potential for long-lasting gains.  Did any of you expect anything different?  RDD is a shitcoin with no innovation and with no advantage over anything else that trades on Yobit.  Told you so.

It's not being overlooked, but 1) No one knows when a correction is going to occur, and 2) Predictions should be taken with an extra-large grain of salt.  Nobody knows what's going to happen.  For every person predicting a crash, there are 5 people predicting bitcoin is going to be at $10,000 any day now.  A lot of what gets written is just noise.

I've been saying that we're due for a correction for a while now.  They tend to be healthy.  And it's up to you to figure out whether it's worth putting money in crypto right now.  Nobody is going to decide for you.

Edit: ^^Brother man wrote almost exactly what I wrote, beat me to it. 

No he's right,  mycelium's fees are ridiculous and not having the option to set them sucks.  It always amazes me that people defend poor design.  If no one complained, shit would never change.

That's what I'm thinking,  but there does seem to be a lot of resistance.  In any case, it's around noon where I'm at and I suspect we'll hit $3000 by 5pm or so.  Nutty!  That means more shitposters than ever are going to be dogpiling up in this forum, trying to get into sog campaigns...and fees are going to be higher.

This guy's posts are so shitty that he needs some sort of rank accelerator,  else he's going to get banned long before he ranks up to Sr. Member.  Did you hear that, kindly sir?  I'd tell you to step up your post quality,  but we all know you're unable to do that. 

None of what you wrote makes any sense and wouldn't be interesting even if it did.

That's a shitpost if I've ever seen one.

Don't follow ETH, so I wasn't aware of any great rise--I'll take OP's word for it.  I don't think any news items ever cause ETH to pop or drop, because there's never any bullish news that's legitimate.  As stated, this is just the market's forces in action.  Big money is obviously being pumped into bitcoin and a lot of altcoins, and that's what's causing everything to be inflated.  I'm kind of curious to know exactly where this money is coming from, but I don't think that's ever going to be revealed.

Sure, right now it just happens to be insane growth but it could easily crash.  Low fees and quick confirmations are two good arguments IMO.  It's kind of hard to deny, given how much it costs me to send bitcoin and sometimes I have to wait days for a confirmation.

Honestly I'd love to switch over to doge or something, to use as money, but trying to find merchants that accept anything besides bitcoin is a fool's errand.  Those merchants just don't exist, and it sucks.  I'm tired of transaction fees and long confirmation times, as are a lot of people.  I'd much rather use fiat to buy stuff anyway, but I do occasionally buy things with crypto.  Eh.  Maybe it'll get better, but right now I'm very pessimistic about BTC.

It's a good coin and frankly I'd rather own it than bitcoin right now (even though I don't own any currently).  Low fees, quick confirmation times--what's not to love about it?  I'd use it as money over btc any day of the week.   As an investment,  not so much.  It's stable relative to btc, but that's another attribute in its favor.

Businesses aren't adopting bitcoin anyway.  As for me, I'd much rather spend fiat than bitcoin, mainly because of confirmation times but nowadays because of the fees.  They're way too high.  Why should I pay anything just for the privilege of spending my own money.  Fuck that.  I'm getting tired of bitcoin and this community and I'm starting to realize that bitcoin is an awful solution to a problem that doesn't even exist in the first place.

Mycelium, and that's on the low priority option.  There's not a way to go lower than that that I know of.  I didn't end up actually sending that $60 because of the fee--it's just too damn high.  And if I accumulated enough to buy a tesla, it would be from many transactions coming in to my wallet.  I know I'm a complete tech dumbass, but wouldn't that cause the fee to increase?

Yeah, I never did and I actually thought it failed and that no one used it.  I could have heard wrong.

How much do you think the transaction fee would be buying a tesla?  It costs me near $8 just to spend $60.  Might be a better idea to pay with fiat, no?

If they do, it's a small amount.  People with billions of dollars don't make it their life's goal to double that--their goal is to protect all the millions/billions they already have.  And the absolute worst way to protect wealth is to invest in bitcoin.  You guys know damn well how volatile it is.  Imagine having a few million dollars' worth of bitcoin and then watching it drop by 25% or more in a single day.  There's no way some financially-literate rich person is going to invest in bitcoin unless he can hedge his bet.  And I don't know that there's a way to do that.

There's no way you or anyone else can say this with certainty.

How many threads do we have to dedicate to this topic.  It's like a fucking broken record, repeating over and over and over.  Which altcoin do I invest in?  How about you invest in an English course and learn to get past that ADD and READ.  Less typing, more eyeballing.  All of you halfwits who start these topics:  READ.  You don't have to keep starting multiple threads asking the same thing.  People are just going to give worthless tips anyway!  Do you think if someone knew what the next hot thing is going to be, they'd tell you?  Don't be naive.

Stranger things have happened--as I've said in other threads, I did not expect bitcoin to be at $2800 anytime soon.  So half a mill in 13 years?  Yeah, could happen.  Do I think it's going to?  Nah, not really.  I do think we'll be much higher, but $500K is quite high.

The real question for me is whether I'm ever going to actually save any bitcoin.  I have a problem with spending it +/- trading or selling.  I really need to just save my sig campaign earnings.
