The title should be changed to ETH price tanking, Are you going to sell ETH for BTC?

1283  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NXT vs ETH on: March 17, 2016, 03:23:29 PM
Neither have adoption. I would go with nxt because it has been around for longer though.

I bet youre the type that appreciates LTC cuz "silver to bitcoin gold",correct?

I prefer stability over features yes.
1285  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: To all people who think ether is the best thing to happen since sliced bread on: March 17, 2016, 03:19:47 PM
You appreciate LTC because it was a copycat of BTC?It has no use since there is no need for number 2.

There is a need for a number 2.

If there were several different coins with the same utility as bitcoin, we wouldn't be having a block size flamefest right now.

Like Linux distributions. If like me you like RPM, you use RHEL or SuSE or Fedora.
If you like debian packages you use Debian or Mint.
If you don't value privacy and don't mind Amazon tracking you by default you use Ubuntu (yeah yeah I hear they fixed that...)

Competition is good for the market, monopoly is not.

Bitcoin for all practical purposes has a monopoly. That's why people are fighting over who controls it. Monopolies have a lot of power.

Finally someone who gets it. I am tired of people saying we dont need altcoins. If bitcoin is the only coin in the future we will actually have a worse financial system than we have now, bitcoin is huge and it is entirely possible that at some point in the future miners could get greedy or bitcoin could be attacked. In a case like this people will need another coin they can transfer to. Bottom line it never hurts to have alternatives to fall back on if something goes wrong down the line.
1286  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH DUMP IS ON HOLY SHIT on: March 17, 2016, 03:13:14 PM
I'd say i told you so but id just be rubbing salt in wounds. The only thing holding up eth was hype now that thats gone eth will be dumped to sub 0.01 range. I wonder how much money people lost with this pump and dump.....
1287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Syscoin is scam - not buy. on: March 17, 2016, 04:49:02 AM
I smell a pump and dump Grin

Show me one useful dapp that is not in beta that your average person on the street can use. Provide reasons why they would use a dapp instead of a regular app say a ipad.

That's the wrong question to ask.  It's not what can you do with the VM, it's how much load capacity will the system have (slim to none), and do they even have a viable consensus system (no - best case permissioned ledger, worst case none at all).

So in other words its all speculation no actual achievements.

The tech itself has ONLY just come out of BETA!! Your very same question was similarly asked in the 90's about the Internet. Read the white and yellow papers engage your brain and begin to imagine the possibilities.

Thats exactly the problem with ether followers too much "Think about the possibilities" and not enough "Hey look what i built with ether tech". Until ether proves that it can build a useful dapp and be useful to mainstream society it will remain a shitcoin to me.
1290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Simple questions about Ethereum nobody can answer !!! on: March 16, 2016, 04:27:47 PM
nobody seems to be able to give any straight answers when it comes to ether. I ask about the total coins some say 90m others say unlimited. I ask blockchain size and some say 5 GB others say 10GB. I am staying far away from this coin because i get the feeling that after the hype has down a lot of people are going to get burned. This is going to be worse then paycoin and auruacoin combined.

Its true that bitcoin may not have cutting edge tech, but at least it has been around 7 years and can be trusted to still be there tomorrow.

1292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ether statistics? on: March 15, 2016, 04:03:01 AM
what i dont understand is why they cant have information like this on their website. There website is garbage, all about smart contracts nothing about the coin or wallets. How do they expect people to get into ether without this info?
1293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All crypto with an IPO/ICO is trash - no exceptions. Just launch fairly. on: March 14, 2016, 04:11:04 PM
If a coin truly has potential it will grow on its own. Look at bitcoin no icos/ipos yet people were still drawn to work on it because it had potential. The reality is that if a coin has potential it will grow on its own without the need for icos/ipos or some other shady shit. These days i outright refuse to touch coins launched via IPO/ICO as there have been far too many of these scam coins in the past and i am tired of greedy devs not doing what they preach.
1294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH GETTING DUMPED HARD!!!! on: March 14, 2016, 04:04:33 PM
Eth is a shitcoin fueled by undue hype. Trade it while you can make profit and then be sure to dump it for profit while you can. I think eth is going to end up like nxt in the end, nice tech but no adoption - in other words a complete and utter failure.
1295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We missed the ETH train. on: March 13, 2016, 06:47:52 AM
Ether is dead.
1296  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FYI, ETH just broke 1 Billion dollar cap on: March 13, 2016, 06:43:09 AM
I suspect ether devs are pumping their own coin, the constant pumps just dont feel natural.
1297  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Create my own currency? on: March 13, 2016, 06:42:20 AM
you can issue your own currency with an ethereum contract

Stay away from ether its full of bugs and too technical
1298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH will go to $100, then shoot up to BTC all time high on: March 13, 2016, 06:41:26 AM
yes ether will drop to $0.10 and shoot btc to all time high.
1299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Eth bubble is about to pop on: March 13, 2016, 06:39:24 AM
Eth bubble is about to pop pull put while you can. I just sold all my ether for btc and bought 500 LTC which is a far more stable and safe coin to store value in. Think about it what has ether done to deserve $14 value??

Is it used as a currency - NO
Is it widely used for smartcontracts - NOT AT THIS STAGE
Does it have solid design - NOPE ITS FULL OF BUGS

The only thing holding the price up at the moment is hype, once that dies down ether is going down to $1-$2 range.
1300  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Calling ETH TOP on: March 13, 2016, 06:34:24 AM
I don't understand about the ethereum  Huh Someone can give me news daily for ethereum?

Nobody understands ethereum
