The BRICS and especially Russia working hard on (at least partially) breaking this circle and trade in local currencies. So in the future we can see some interesting developments.

Yes, a lot people here noticed the same trend. IMO the reasons behind this relative steady growth are the following few things:
- developers are actually developing new stuff
- technologically nxt is one of the most advanced coins
- the nxt community is strong and enthusiastic
- the nxt whales have enough funds and determination to break any P&D attempts

Simple human nature. If my tribe waging war on an other tribe, the bigger the pile of dead enemies is the better. After the victory we celebrate our heroes and who cares about the defeated enemy, they shouldn't have to fu**ing with us. This is how humans working. If you pair this natural behaviour with good propaganda then our heroes not just defeated the enemies of humanity but even rescued the people over there "from the tyranny of evil man" and yes, there was some collateral damage but that's just little price for of the millions of saved souls.

This is how Ripple is working, and this is how paycoin failed. BTW neucoin is doing the same right now. You need a big bunch or real life services to succeed and persuading companies to accept your coin is the hard part.

As I said, get used to people who are "take secret meeting on us" as we always had and always going to have such blokes around here. If you are not calculating with them then you surely going to lose money.

Just do that. I'm happy to see such rarities here .

No, I don't feel any shame . I'm not pumping. I'm buying as low as I can and selling as high as I can. You know if you think that big green candles and upward logarithmic or exponential curves are good buying opportunities that's not my or any "pumpers" fault.

Communism isn't a working idea. Why should I invest into mining gear if I can get money from the distributed taxes by just being there with some minimal hashing power.

On regulated markets it is... but this is not one of those things. So, get used to pump and dumps and do your research and "market analysis" before you jump into something. Perhaps you wanna take a look at Ryan Pumper's advices and learn something about trading.


Grow up, mate. Making money is rarely a story about fairness and honesty.

Cryptsy paying some small amounts as balance rebates after your BTC, LTC, XRP, and USD holdings. More info here (on the bottom of the page):

I think this issue going to resolve itself. Nobody want to keep woman away from bitcoin. Actually the opposite is true. I think it's all about marketing. If you take a look at the community here you will find a bunch of nerds an other bunch of speculators and a lot of "save the world" type blokes. In short: lots of boring ppl with ridiculous ideas about how to make something appealing for women .

. Actually you are quite right. Most of the "fair launch" coins went down the drain long time ago, or in best case vegetating between 2-10 sats.

Sorry, but this excuse is just as bad as the "for future development" BS. Why devs are unable to tell the truth, like "for bribing exchanges" or "for future dumping" maybe "Just like you guys I also wanna get rich quick, and this coin going to be a step in that direction"?

BTW I'm not against premine, I understand that nobody want to work for free, but please leave the BS.

Perhaps because of he failed to pay his membership fees . These TBF guys really have nothing else important to do? Do they sorted out every issues?

"What makes you invest in a coin?" If we are talking about medium/long term investment then, only proven good performance, long term active dev who actually delivers new features and fixes and long term active community. These conditions are making my job quite easy, only a very few coins can pass .

Edit: +1: real life services...

If we are talking about short term "investment" aka gambling on the exchanges I don't give a damn about features, devs, community, whatever. Only volume and the orderbook matters.

Can someone show me a country what isn't an oligarchy? Maybe in Switzerland we can still see some real democracy but apart from them practically all other countries are ruled by local or global oligarchs.

Of course, it can go further down, even to something next to zero. We've seen several examples for that, so being careful is a good idea indeed.

The issues behind drug use are not resolvable by any government. Death penalty for the "field crew" will surely not going to resolve anything.
However killing the bosses and high ranking members of the involved gangs could temporarily help a bit, and usually these gangsters are deserve to die.
(On the side note, the executives of big pharma and most food processing companies should join them on the death row, as they are doing as much or even more damage to ppl than drug barons.)

Old news. Everybody here are aware (or should be aware) of the bumpy beginning, but who cares after this (relative) long time? DASH seems to be a good "niche" coin by now, ppl can make some profit on mining or trading it, so I doubt that anyone will give a damn about what happened more than a year ago.

Actually what he said that make sense. If it's quickly get dumped down to 5K, some correction should occur and sooner or later someone almost surely will try to pump it, so with little luck he can make a nice profit.

Indeed, IBM is interested in the technology: http://www.coindesk.com/ibm-reveals-proof-concept-blockchain-powered-internet-things/
As I see they want to fork Ethereum and use it as a smart contract subsystem for their proof of concept IoT system.

Indeed, 1 BTC for 25K of promises seems to be a bit too much. ...and the whole thing, including the forum looks similar to that what I've seen on the GAW sites.
