+2 You can buy after the launch. With at least 50% discount. This is what I think will happen too. I was worried about missing out. But the market sentiment was different when the IPO for NXT came out. Those were bullish times.

It sounds like all the investors are buying into promises the devs will deliver something special. It's not often any previous IPO coin's devs delivered on their promises. More often than not the investors lose out.
Yeah. I've been thinking about this.

Ripple has been a master of this pump and dump misleading news for an incredibly long time. Should had seen their PDFs, from years ago, claiming that by now they would have been in every bank - blah blah blah. Or that time where they claimed they were working with "big banks" but it was actually only Fidor and Fidor was primarily only interested in BTC and stopped working with Ripple and instead partnered with Krakken. Especially with that new washed out career-dead Yahoo executive on the Ripple Staff, working there must be an incredibly toxic environment. Anyway we're talking about a company that's older than BTC, Ripple was founded in 2004, and it hasn't gone anywhere in all that time. Ripple is just an investors' trap, imho. Success of the ancient Ripple swindling investors also persuaded other vaporware companies to go into crypto, such as Maidsafe (less than 5 employees) from 2006 which was recycling code from open source projects in the 1990s, received many millions of millions over the years and hasn't turned out a single product yet and yet the money has "disappeared" No wonder people don't want to get into cryptocurrency, it's a mos eisley cantina full of scammers, crooks and fraudsters and it attracts new ones all the time.So true. Just check coinmarketcap.com. Most of those coins are a joke really. And who would want to invest in those? Unless they were scammed into doing so. And they are coming after ordinary people's money. The naive. But in Ripple's case, with all those VC's investing in Ripple Labs. Were those VC's scammed out of millions of USD by Ripple Labs? Here's a link of all the VC's who invested https://www.ripplelabs.com/investors/Those are big names. A big lawsuit is coming if they're proven a scam. Buyer beware and do your research.

What's the update? Still ATH?

Surely businesses will just move out of NYC.
Simple?
Sure. But that's an oversimplification, and New York is where the money is. It's where a BTC start up could make a big impact. Also what's scary is most states might copy NY's Bit License. What would that make the US as a market for a Bitcoin based start up? (Almost) Non-existent? That's like losing your biggest market. So it's really important that the NYFDS revise those rules and make it encouraging for Bitcoin start ups.

Looks like it. Western Union 'Exploring' Pilot Program With Ripple Labs
Global remittance giant Western Union is reportedly working on a pilot program with distributed payment protocol provider Ripple Labs.
The news was first revealed in a tweet by Ripple Labs promoting CEO Chris Larsen's appearance at Global Conference 2015, an annual event held by non-profit think tank the Milken Institute.
The pilot was further confirmed by Monica Long, VP of marketing and communications at Ripple Labs, who told CoinDesk that while Western Union is "exploring a pilot project using Ripple", no further details on the initiative were available.
Long did, however, suggest that Western Union was interested in Ripple due to its existing value propositions, stating:
"In general, financial institutions and networks use Ripple as a technology that powers real-time settlement in any currency to lower the cost of liquidity and compliance."

tokeweed, I really think I know who he is, and if you stop trying to be funny, and did know how much damage he made in here - you will not laugh that loud. This is no joke at all, because we are talking about hundreds (if not thousands) scammed people.
Sorry.. It's just the shoe on the head thing really gets me.

I don't understand how you can regulate a bitcoin wallet lol.
Make new address send coins from some obscure exchange and surely it's not tied to any particular name / individual.
Maybe close the users' accounts and ban them in the exchanges unless they only use Coinbase or some other commercial wallet service. So basically, you can only send BTC to your Coinbase wallet, to a regulated exchange and to a legal merchant. Hasn't Coinbase started doing this? They close your account when you deposit to a gambling site right? Edit: That's why I am all for altcoins. To give the regulators one giant headache.

Are you willing to stake 24/7 for the next 10 years?
If not, you could lose much of the value of your investment through the eroding effects of inflation (assuming you planned to hold it).
You could have them mine for you at MyNeuCoin.com. But there is risk of centralizing all the staking power (it is free and easier for them to do it so people are more likely not to run their own software).
Nxt has no inflation so there is no economic cost to you of not forging, you don't feel obliged to lease your forging to a pool just to maintain the value you have. Inflation differences between Nxt and Neu (none and a lot) make unqualified comparisons problematic.
Yeah you're right. Thanks.

http://www.neucoin.org/en/presaleI'm thinking of getting some. I missed the NXT IPO for being closed minded, and I'm kicking myself for it. Now I'm thinking it could happen again with Neu. Please give me valid reasons on why I should or shouldn't buy some Neucoins.

Take a look in the signature... That's one INSANELY undervalued coin with ridiculous market cap and best and active developers around.
What are their names?

I have USD 2000 to invest. Should I buy Bitcoins or gold?
what you prefer can hold upto 1 year
Why don't you post the same question in a gold investors forum and see what they say.

Yeah it sucks. But there's still hope though. There is big pressure on New York because it is the first state to launch its own set of regulations specific to digital currency. The only other states even working on such policy right now, said Jerry Brito of Coin Center, are California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Most other states are expected to simply copy what New York does, and so, if New York comes out the gate with something too strict, it runs the risk of losing innovative bitcoin companies to other states that are less tough. Wilson went so far as to say that New York could lose “the next Wall Street” to Silicon Valley, or Estonia, or North Carolina.
A part of me is hoping that they pass it as is. If they don't want innovation, so be it.
