So which one are you really?  Is this your portfolio or you "I made $3.2M in Cryprto since 2010. Here are my top picks for coins under $1."

I am not sure myself but I think you misinterpreted what that meant.  If that is the case, we will get flooded with ODN in a very short while...you don't want that.

This is what I think (and I could be mistaken).  In most POS/dPOS, you don't get 100% of what was "mined"...only certain percentage (say 80%) that could later (depending on difficulty level) translate to say 10% of your coins annually.  In this case, if my interpretation is correct and based on my example, you get about 20% more annually than the regular POS/dPOS.

No one really knows. 

I believe the goal is to implement SEGWIT2X with majority acceptance (no fork).  However, judging from the rumors/reactions...it is likely there will be another major fork...BTC legacy and BTC segwit2x (just names I use to differentiate the two).  Who will retain the BTC name is also a big question.

I am new and have not to date done any ICO yet just because I am choosy on what I want to join.  That said, I watched many to learn and to purchase.  It looks like the sweet spot is (at least on the ones I watched which are good coins/tokens) is sell at 5x the ICO value which happens a few days after they hit the main exchanges.  They tend to correct after the peak and dive down to 50% of ATH...so even for good coins, you can sell everything at 5x and re-purchase later.

My approach for really good/excellent coin/token would be;
- sell 25% at x4 (recoup all your investment at that point), then
- sell 50% at x6 (pure profit),
- sell all remaining at x8 (more profit).
- re-purchase at correction/dip a week or so from start.

Adjust multiplier targets as needed or if necessary.

Just MHO...and plan.

If you are on the Whitelist, it is almost guaranteed you can get in the initial purchase.  They limited it to $1,000 worth of NEO for the 1st hour.  (NEO value to be determined an hour before the sale).  Another $50,000 limit is then imposed after the 1st hour.  A maximum of 1 purchase on each group so total of 2 purchases only and a maximum total of $51,000 ($1,000 + $50,000) per applicant/buyer.

Re-post for my "kababayan" because I know many of you don't venture in other forums....

==============================================================

Segwit2x hard fork is coming this November, are you prepared to take advantage of the opportunities?

There are 3 major camps (train of though) here;
1. HODL coins/alts and do nothing.   
2. Sell all alts and HODL BTC in your own wallet (not in exchange) to take advantage of the double coin.
3. Sell all alts and BTC and covert to US dollar ($) during the high and re-purchase BTC when it dips

On 9/1 BTC was about $4,900 then it dipped to as low as $2,890 on 9/15.  If you sold your BTC at the peak and re-purchased at the low...you would have almost doubled your money/coin.  Of course that perfect scenario is almost impossible to time so factor that in.

Knowing these...what will you do this November?

There is no right or wrong approach, results will vary and honestly, I will likely do a combination of all 3.

It is a good token for trading...you can flip it every 2 -3 days and make 10-20% each cycle.  I made money on it last month.

Not sure for long term.

RISK is inversely proportional to GAIN.

I suggest you diversify and get several each of; low, med, high risk coins.  They will buffer your portfolio from the expected rise and fall of crypto value.

If you do your research, you will find several coins that made 1,000% gain the past year.  Some made 1,000% gain in 6 months!  While they are not that easy to spot early...you can catch them after the initial pump if you are diligent enough. Better yet, do a good research and join choice ICOs (careful, there are many scam there and even good ones sometimes fails) so don't throw too much money in them unless it have all the right "ingredients for success" (good project, good dev team, positive community support/reaction, etc.).

Good luck!

Re: $40 goal by Oct. 8, definitely attainable but as with most altcoins, it is highly dependent on BTC value.  It is the wildcard than can potentially foil this prediction.

It might be meaningless for me IF my purchase plan for RPX happens.  Plan is to buy all in (if I can) on the 2nd hour--meaning I will have zero NEO at that point.

BUT, the chances of that happening is close to none because some whales may gobble all remaining RPX in the first few seconds (of the 2nd hour) of the sale.

I agree 100% with this list.

That said, the safest coin to invest in (for now) is still BTC.

Sorry to hear that.  I am running windows so can't relate. 

I started installing the new wallet last night.  After 12 hours or so, the wallet is now about 90% synched....will be done hopefully in an hour or so.

I've only transferred Gas from an exchange and back and did not notice if I used GAS or not.  If they started using GAS, I didn't know when it started.

The reason, with NEO, GAS is like your transaction fee.  It is speculation but this is the reason GAS will cost a lot eventually once NEO have lots of tokens running based of it.

You must be talking about something else like XRP (Ripple) maybe?

Function vs form

Very broadly, a crypto coin is just that: a coin, or means of payment, whilst a token has wider functionality.

The express purpose of a coin is to act like money: as a unit of account, store of value and medium of transfer. Coins tend to take the form of native blockchain tokens like bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR), and so on, though they do not have to. ChronoBank’s Labour Hour (LH) tokens, which are hosted on Ethereum, can be considered as coins. Their purpose is solely to act as a form of money, storing value over time and enabling businesses to account and pay for services. They are created as ERC20 tokens for reasons of convenience.

Blockchain tokens do have value, but they cannot be considered money in quite the same way that a straightforward coin can. Tokens are generally hosted on another blockchain, like Ethereum or Waves: 2.0 protocols that allow users to create them using the core coin (e.g. ETH or WAVES — though there’s some debate about whether ETH and WAVES, both of which act like ‘fuel’ for their systems, are coins in the same way that BTC acts as a simple currency).

Tokens offer functionality over and above that of digital cash. They may deliver value to investors, beyond speculative returns; this is one of the purposes of ChronoBank’s TIME token. That can occur in a variety of ways, though typically through buybacks (since dividend payments entail regulatory problems). They may be used to hold votes by the community on key business decisions, or even technical changes to the platform.

1. Coins or Cryptocurrencies
These are digital currencies like Bitcoin in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds. They are operating independently of a central bank.


2. Utility tokens
The utility tokens are services or units of services that can be purchased.  These tokens can be compared to API keys, used to access the service.


The keyword is utility...tokens do something.  Coins are just "coins" that sometimes used as a foundation in creating new tokens.

All altcoins are affected by BTC in one way or another...this dip is likely because of BTC, you can capitalize on it now but the real question is, will BTC go even lower?

I hope NEO hit $100 in 6 months.

My very optimistic goal for NEO is $300 in two years.  That said, I won't complain if it goes higher.  

It is the first release of a token that is NEO based.

It is a big things since they are going with the "sale" in Hong Kong when all the news claims China is banning all ICO (thus avoiding the word ICO).
