Why do you need Ethereum when you already have bitcoins?
No, I don't like Ethereum. People are using smart contracts for gambling and ponzi purposes. The founder isn't bothered to give $300 a month for hosting a community forum. In fact, they even said that ethereum could crash themselves.
Really? Yes, really. Respect my opinions please. Here's my answer, I've made 10x the amount of my bitcoin holdings when I joined the Ethereum crowdsale. Not bad huh? Yes, you may have profited from the crowdsale. That's good for you. But now it's different. We are trading at 0.02+ a coin. I simply don't believe that Ethereum has the potential to outperform BTC in the long term.So what? Ethereum is something new and could be one of the most interesting social experiments we've seen in the modern age. While Bitcoin is being strangled by bankster-like people, taking away the things we love about it. |

<r0ach> we are going into a liquidity crunch where liquid cash is the most valuable asset (fiat paper not in a bank, bitcoin, gold, etc) and stocks are going to crash. Yet these guys are investing in something with the fundamental of a stock, except it has no product, no revenue, no employees, no business, no nothing.
<r0ach> so even if they manage to get that put together and develop something, it's still the same thing as buying any random stock
<r0ach> and slock.it is pointless
You would be far better off buying something on the real stock market where you can personally verify some type of fundamentals, but all of those are going to crash anyway.
It's something new. Just like how you bought into BTS, remember? Not all projects become a success though... Most people lose money buying into these things. It's the reason why there are a lot of avid whiners around here. |

"There is no coin but bitcoin"
I guess people who bought at 1000+ could be considered bagholders. But what we're most thinking of are those useless coins people are holding a ton of. Like BBQcoin or Popcorncoin or something like Drugcoin, and the they go around on these boards trying to be in denial about bagholding. So funny. |

The thing is to look for a good investment, not put your BTC in baghold mode.

This whole DAO thing just seems like a bad idea. There's a reason that there is corporate leadership instead of a bunch of know nothings voting on proposals. Get ready for some seriously bad screw-ups.
yeah corporate leadership has always worked for the best for the working man so by dare question and try to change it. Your masters know better what you need and desired than yourself. And don't you forget it. I'm not saying that corporate leadership always knows best. Actually, I think a lot of corporations are run by total morons who end up destroying their companies due to greed. What I am saying is that bottom up control of a corporation will lead to terrible decisions being made which will hurt everyone, employees included. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see. |

^ Not enough volume... Even with Openledger.

True. But I'm really curious how this all pans out. Whatever the outcome is, good or bad, it's gonna be something new and something to learn from. |

Yup... It's amazing really. At least people will find out about crypto thru the DAO's spectacular crowd funding campaign. Just sitting back and watching. Can't wait until this gets listed in the exchanges. |

We've seen those projects listed above for a while now... So far nadda, no signs of interest except for those who have a cult like following for them due to them bagholding the tokens of the said platforms.

I just invested some btc in Waves and Rise ICO. Good idea?
Also going to buy some LISK at launch...
It could go both ways. Who knows what direction these ICO coins go or if these platforms really find any real world use or not. But personally, I have never invested in an ICO. I usually wait until these coins are actually traded in an exchange and see how they go. The thing to look out for first is the volume. High volume is always good. |

I have yet to see the SEC come after a group behind an ICO. I hope they do and expose whatever legal loopholes they (the crypto people) can find in order for the others to follow their lead.

Thanks for promoting the site. It's good to be updated. Please add more info about the project such as what its about, the team, their white paper and a link to their website. Thanks. |

Ethereum IPO "Project" will soon go back to sub 1 dollar price, because there's not enough fools to maintain the price.
Whales have to dump before buywalls are being deleted causing a permanent downtrend similar to other failed altcoins.
This means ETH is dead.
Whatever happens, you can either go long or short. The opportunity is always there. |

Dear Poloniex,
You are becoming the goto exchange for altcoins and have been increasing in trading volume day by day. I have but one request... Learn from the hard lessons and mistakes done by MtGox and Cryptsy. Please minimize your greed and maximize offering the best service you can for your customers. I, personally, would really hate to see your exchange take the route of MtGox and Cryptsy.
Ty and gl.

At any second between now and August there's going to be a nuclear explosion of alts cratering:  Just like how you said BTS was gonna moon and BTC was gonna go sub 250? Imho, by August that's when people outside crypto starts to discover the whole scene, so it could go the opposite of what you're trying to say. |

All you have to do is apply and azure will add a coin. I could literally build a coin today and add it. How some coins are pimping this as a partnership is beyond me. This is like me applying for a mastercard and saying mastercard is partnering with me--when in reality all I needed was a decent credit score and a pulse. All you need for azure intergration is a coin and to jump through a few hoops. Anyone who is impressed by this either doesn't understand the process or is easily impressed.
Here's FluffyPony describing the process on reddit:
"[–]fluffyponyzaXMR Core Team 11 points 1 day ago
None of the above.
We contacted them, they told us what we needed to do. It basically consisted of signing a Contributor License Agreement, submitting a PR to the Azure templates Github repo, and sending them a write-up. Took us like 3 or 4 hours:)
All the altcoins saying that Microsoft is "partnering" with them are being disingenuous - you are a partner inasmuch as you have a BizSpark account and signed a CLA.
The upshot of this, however, is that developers that are already using Azure can build applications on top of the Monero blockchain, and are able to spin nodes up quickly and easily."
Bobsurplus is happy with this news.  |
