Everyday, my Bitcoin and alt coin portfolio gets bigger. I have around 20 alts in total and I invest a minimum amount of BTC into them for future reference. If price goes up, then I would reap in the rewards and benefit from the situation. As a backup, I make paper wallets of each alt coin I own, and put them nicely on my binder. For security purposes, I encrypt the wallets and only place the encrypted private key on the paper wallet. 

Here is the large list of alt coins I hold right now: Ambercoin, ArtByte, Banxshares, Bitshares, Bleutrade Shares, Casinocoin, Diamond, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Expanse, Litecoin, LiteDoge, Magi, Monero, NuBits, Paycoin, Tekcoin and Clams. 

I will just hold a decent amount of Bitcoins for the future, as I believe in it and think that its price will be higher by then. After that, I would take some of my Bitcoins from another wallet and buy a miner with it. 

I'm just saving Bitcoins in the meantime. However, when I have a huge amount of Bitcoins, I will use them to buy a miner and an iPhone. Then the rest I will just treasure it for the future. 

Maybe is because the massive pumps have ended? But still, I think the price is great apart from what it was like a month ago ($235). Perhaps, in the end of 2015 the price would rise between the $500 - $600 mark. I'm still holding my Bitcoin here. 

It all depends on how much you invest into it. You can either earn some good dividends, but if you invest the very minimum, then you are very likely to see some good profit/ROI. So far, they have been paying me the dividends, and I've earn even more profit along the way because of the price increase. 

Even still, I think that ETH price is dirt cheap right now. I guess it would probably rise when there would be a stable GUI wallet release, or after the devcon. It is an exciting world out there for ETH. I think soon it will show us its true potential. 

The price at the end of 2015, will probably be between the $500 - $600 mark. I'm guessing that the closer we are to the next halving, the more the price will rise. But that is just my theory. I could be wrong. 

I once was a miner, and had a few Gridseeds laying around to mine alt coins and then exchange them to BTC. Unfortunately, I've quitted too because mining cost was too expensive. The electricity rates and having to compete with different miners/hashrate makes it somewhat unprofitable. Difficulty would rise as well, making your current mining gear obsolete. Still, I'm thinking of returning to it someday (probably between Christmas or summer)   

I think Garza's smart and bribed the authorities by paying them his scamcoin, err I mean Paycoin. I don't think XPY would ever reach the $20 mark. It will die very soon. Lol 

Nowadays, I think it is much easier to make $1 in Bitcoins in an hour or less. You can either join a signature campaign and make good constructive posts, or you can start trading, or use a faucet and refer other people so that your earnings could increase. 

Bitcoin is rising in power and demand. Price has been going upward over the last month. This is a very good sign and might be a future successor of fiat currency. I think it would definitely replace the dollar real soon. 

Bitcoin is the most expensive crypto out there. It is also the father of blockchain technology. I compare Bitcoin as the Gold of crypto. That is why I like it and why I would never leave it. I think Bitcoin will always be the most valuable crypto coin out there. Just my opinion. 

I want to spend money, because I have the feeling that maybe someday I would hit the jackpot (if I win). So you can have fun and earn at the same time, or you can lose profit and still have fun because the amount invested was very minimum. 

Is Expanse still alive. It has been 5 days since the last reply in this thread, and nothing new. Bitcoin's price is rising up fast, and so as most alt coins, but Expanse is still around the same price or probably even cheaper. Are my hopes lost? 

As I see Bitcoin's movement towards price and adoption, I think 2016 will definitely be the year of Bitcoin. Maybe its price will go up above the $1000 mark. So I'm very optimistic and going to hold my BTC until it is the right time. 

I have not tried selling them yet. I'm only based on calculations based from the first day I have bought them (which they were at $1.78 each) until today's price. If I cannot sell them, what should I do? 

Simply buy shares from trusted sources. First make a research, before investing in any of these just to be safe. You can invest on Banxshares (http://banx.io), Bleutrade Shares (http://bleutrade.com), or Blockshares (https://bcexchange.org/). Some of them give you payout (dividends) every week, and some give you dividends every month.

Hope this helps. 

These are positive days for the crypto currency world. As Bitcoin's price goes up, we can expect positive things for Ambercoin and the rest of the alt coins. I want to become a shareholder as soon as I get 10000 AMBER. This is great. 

Exactly. There are still some countries out there where you cannot buy Bitcoins with fiat. Take a look at Coinbase. The ability to buy Bitcoins with fiat, it is limited to certain countries. Also, Bitcoin debit cards are not available to any country. Sometimes I wish I could have a BTC debit card. It would make my life much easier. 

Any reason why Banxshares price has been increasing over the last few days? Is this because Bitcoin's price is increasing as well or is it that Banx could set up it own prices? Anyways, thanks to this Í have earned some profit.
