Because it gives excellent prospects for your future. Bitcoin is a very successful crypto currency, and investing in it now you will get a much larger amount in the future.

I think this opinion is only skeptics who in general have a prejudiced attitude towards bitcoins. Criminals did not need a lifeguard to conduct their criminal activities for so many centuries. Why should bitcoin increase crime?

Now in the next few years, the championship will belong to bitcoin, one possibility of changing the situation in the direction of another crypto currency is very real. There are many new crypto-currencies, which are more convenient than bitcoin technology, but they will need time to gain strength for leadership.

The problem is you will need to know how to store the coins for each ICO. Many different coins have different protocols for how the wallets work and such.

Eventually, it's going to be a huge pain to keep up with all the information.

Wow, yea over another 500 million in the last 30 minutes... anybody have an idea what's going on with Ripple?

Looks like it gained another 500 million in market cap in a few hours?

How is it possible it was just worth 200 million a week ago, and now it is at 2 billion?

Also wondering how it's possible the value of the coin remained basically static for a long time and has gone up 5x in the past week?

Is it possible to do cold storage with Ripple? I saw some mentioning the private user wallet was discontinued?

I am wondering how you seperate promising alt coins from coins which are potential scams.

So far I usually start by looking at the website. Unfortunately, this often does not help that much as most have a clean website with some promises, and a decent Youtube video.

Next I check to see if they have a sub-reddit and how active it is.

After that check if there is a Stack Exchange and if there are developers.

Also, I try to look at their GitHub or other hosting repository to see how the codes looks or is organized.

What methods do you guys use to research a new crypto?

Hey guys, I've followed all the steps and still stuck on something related to the Berkeley DB.

When I run configure it says:

"checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no"
"configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing"

Also, was wondering in the instructions, in the Berkeley DB part, why are we building under "build_unix", rather than "build_windows"?

Thanks.

Why does it matter if he was doing something illegal with his coins?

When was a Litecoin audit done? The only mention is of a Bitcoin audit. This article does not even mention Litecoin once: http://www.coindesk.com/okcoin-reveals-btc-reserves-104-chinas-exchanges-undergo-audits/

Plus it is not the first time OKCoin is accused of faking data: http://www.coindesk.com/chinese-bitcoin-exchange-okcoin-accused-faking-trading-data/

How do you explain OKCoin coming out of nowhere to have the highest trading volumes? Last year BTC China had all the volume, and nobody had heard of OKCoin.

Yea, I hope in the future it will be safe and commonplace that bitcoin will be considered on par with other currencies. Then maybe banks or other institutions can accept the coins and give insurance.

As the market cap increases, there will be more and more sophisticated attacks.

If somebody ever figures out how a wallet provider is generating their seeds, then everybody is at risk. What about an ASIC for brute forcing the seed creation algorithm? At current computer speeds it is unthinkable, but technology is changing so rapidly it cannot be ruled out.

Yea, there is another interesting fact, that OKCoin says they have done a Bitcoin audit before.

But when you go to the section for Litecoin, no Litecoin audit has ever been done.

People are trolling the guy for not taking enough security. It's getting to the point where if you do not have PhD in computer science then your coins can be hacked... cold wallets are difficult enough to understand having the correct background.

We need better insurance policies for the regular users. It would be better there were insurance plans for bitcoins.

When somebody hacks your bank account, the bank gives you back all your money. In this respect the banking system is far superior for large amounts of money.

What is accounting for the enormous volume on OKCoin?

They offer algorithmic trading with pretty sophisticated options, but there is no built in botting option.

A lot of people say the Litecoin has so much volume there because there are no trading fees at OKCoin. However, OKCoin's site itself says there are fees.

Who is making all the bots if not OKCoin themselves? Is it possible they are trapping market orders with unfair practices and then re-selling or re-buying the coins?

Bitcoin is still over 90% of the market cap for all crypto-currencies... let's start the discussion again when it's below 80%.

Interesting that he is hyper bullish on crypto currencies.

The "get rich kids" are propping up the price he says lol.

Except that Overstock is "cooking the books".

Wonder why Overstock has a P/E ratio of 5? Because the market still assumes Overstock is making up numbers:

http://www.sequenceinc.com/fraudfiles/2007/08/overstockcom-cooking-the-books/

"The bottom line is this: Byrne and Overstock management have made statements about their inventory that cannot possibly all be true. They are in conflict and cannot coexist, therefore at least some of the statements must be false."

Expect yoga in jail soon.

It is surprising that Japan is not more Bitcoin friendly already.

Why is all the volume and interest coming from China?

I would have expected Korea to be more ahead as well.

There is no notification or anything. You get "shadow banned", so everything looks as normal on the site.

When you try to ask who banned you and why, you get no answers at all. Once you are banned, they consider you scum and don't even respond to your emails anymore.

Yet, even after we got banned Reddit said they would be fined with us doing paid advertising... just we would never be unblocked from posting organically.
