Verge is trash. Sell it all.

The best coins you are holding are VEN, OMG and ARK. Increase your holdings in these.

Personally, I would also get rid of some of the less well established coins (FLO, CAPP, HMQ, VIB) and buy ETH and NEO.

Do we have to have the same post multiple times every day?

You have made 11 posts, 9 of which are one sentence long. All of them are in broken English, with poor spelling and grammar. Most of the content is "nothing" statements such as "hodl", "to the moon", "btc will rise again", etc.

The merit system is designed to stop people spamming posts like that and still ranking up. It is working as intended.
16623  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nebulas or VeChain on: February 08, 2018, 06:24:31 AM
If you had to pick only one of these invest too, which one would it be and why?  VeChain has all the massive partnerships and a solid team, yet Nebulas is going to have the blockchain 3.0 and has a fantastic team too.

Yes, I have both, but couple of buddies are debating which one is better if you had to pick one.

Thanks.

My pick is VEN. In addition to more and more huge parternships coming out every week, it is going to rebrand this year, and then allow you to earn more coins just for holding.

Hello
Any VPN suggestion that I can buy using btc/eth/ltc ?
Want to buy an yearly based package and should support multiple OS

I did not understand, Why need VPN to buy Bitcoin.

If you want to use VPN, you can use the TOR browser.There are many premium VPN on this browser. Just install that and use it. If using Mozilla or Chrome, you can use hola and anonymox addons.


TOR should be used "in addition" to a VPN for privacy, not "instead of". And using IP spoofing add-ons does absolutely nothing to protect your privacy. This is very poor advice.
16625  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: VPN suggestions ? on: February 07, 2018, 09:39:46 PM
You can find a list of almost 20 VPNs that accept Bitcoin here: https://www.privacytools.io/#vpn. If you are interested in privacy in general, I would thoroughly recommend checking out all the other tips and tools on that site too.

You can also have a look at https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/, which lists about 50 or so VPNs that accept Bitcoin.
16626  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's time to hodl and earn dividends/staking...residual income. on: February 07, 2018, 04:15:32 PM
NEO, VEN, XLM, ARK, KCS, COSS.
16627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exciting development in the LiteCoin ecosystem,but overlooked due to bear market on: February 07, 2018, 02:02:32 PM
Agreed. I had been planning on sell my Litecoin and buy more Nano, but Litepay has made me change my mind. I will continue to hold instead.

Litecoin actually rallied a little a few days ago in the midst of the dip due to this news.
16628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What phone apps do you use? on: February 07, 2018, 11:14:25 AM
Delta is a great mobile app for tracking your portfolio. An alternative is Blockfolio, but Delta is better IMO.

I use a mobile wallet like Coinomi to store a very small percentage of my coins. Allows me to easily send and receive payments on the go without having to access my cold storage.

And obviously some exchange apps such as Coinbase, Binance and KuCoin.
16629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UK Banking Giant Lloyds Bank Ban Bitcoin Purchases on Credit Cards on: February 07, 2018, 10:37:39 AM
I am in two minds about this.

On one hand, if people are accumulating debt they can't repay on their credit card, regardless of what they are actually buying, banks are right to restrict their access.

However, a blanket ban on everyone, including those with an excellent credit history who have never missed a repayment, is wrong. Responsible buyers shouldn't be punished for idiots buying in more than they can afford to lose.
16630  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: NEO is performing better than average on: February 07, 2018, 09:38:11 AM
I have read something about NEO, and I see that it is reputed to be the "Chinese Bitcoin" I have even read that in case of a strong fall of Bitcoin the NEO would be reinforced. Seeing your project and without having too much idea NEO is like an ETH but improved, so a priori has more possibilities for long-term growth. All I know is that two months ago it was $ 49 and today it is $ 130 and that during the generalized fall of weeks ago it was when it went from $ 100 to $ 130.

It is actually the "Chinese Ethereum". It still has a lot of potential for growth. It can easily 3x this year in my opinion. We just need to start seeing more ICO's using it and once that happens then price will start mooning.

This is correct. Neo has smart contracts like Ethereum does. We are starting to see more and more tokens and ICOs being launched on the Neo network. It has a huge potential market, and a market cap only 10% of Ethereum's. In my opinion, 3x is a very conservative estimate.
16631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What should I do on: February 07, 2018, 06:13:33 AM
I currently have about four hundred pounds worth in a Bit Coin tracker through Hargreaves Landsdown. Everything was easy and that is why I did it that way.
I know that this is not a lot but my concerns are that when this fork happens I will not benefit from any Bitcoin Gold and that the value of my shares will fall if Bit Coin falls.

Should I cash in as I've made almost double my money and buy through Coindesk or similar or should I just leave things alone and buy some extra and store in an offline wallet.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Not a single person has actually answered OP's question. Everyone just stating generic "hodl" and "hardware wallet" statements.

Firstly OP, bitcoin is unlikely to fall in any meaningful way when it is forked. Even with the Bitcoin Cash fork late last year, which was much larger than any upcoming forks, the trajectory of Bitcoin's price was largely unchanged.

Buying through Coinbase is very easy. Easier than setting up a Hargreaves account I would say. I would recommend buying through GDAX instead (Coinbase's sister site) as it has less exchange fees and less transfer fees.

If it was me, I would sell your tracker and rebuy actual coins. I would prefer to know I own actual bitcoins and not just a tracker. As you say, you can then benefit from forks, while also having the option to trade for altcoins in the future if you wish. Be sure to transfer them off the exchange and in to your own wallet once you have bought.
16632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Store Altcoins Not Supported By Digital Wallets on: February 06, 2018, 07:13:50 PM
What do you mean not supported by Trezor or Ledger Nano S? The ledger works with myetherwallet. You can store any token that is supported by myetherwallet. If it is not, I highly doubt this token will ever cost anything at all.

Anything not supported by MEW is worthless? This is utter nonsense. What about LTC, XLM, XRB, NEO, XMR, etc, etc.

If the coin has its own software wallet, or is supported by a multi-coin wallet, you can use that. You can easily make paper wallets while being connected to the internet. The risk, as you've stated, is that if your computer is infected by specific malware, your coins could be stolen. This is pretty rare. Other than that, you can always just leave your coins on the exchange until software or hardware support becomes available. Make sure you stay away from small exchanges (like the recent difficulties with BitGrail), and use 2FA to secure your account.
16633  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price back green after hitting $6000 USD, will this trend continue? on: February 06, 2018, 07:01:24 PM
Yes. No. Maybe.

Up. Down. Sideways.

Anyone who says they know for sure is lying.
16634  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: waiting for the right time to get in. on: February 06, 2018, 06:37:13 PM
Nice choise but I would remove LISK and XLM  because they are old coins which already done their price up.

I couldn't disagree about XLM more. FairX exchange has the potential to be huge when it launches. XLM could see a big move upwards when it does.

I would invest in : Ethereum, Bitcoin CASH, Ripple, Neo, Waves, Zcash.... these are the coin in my opinion that will be with a good growth and a large community.....

No way to BCH. It doesn't offer any benefits technology wise over LTC or XRB, and the dev team are actively toxic to others in the crypto community. It will continue to slip down the rankings.
16635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: waiting for the right time to get in. on: February 06, 2018, 03:07:00 PM
I would consider swapping out IOTA for XRB, but otherwise a very solid portfolio for a long term hold.
16636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a can of Coca-Cola for 500$ - it's cheap on: February 06, 2018, 02:56:44 PM
This is how many Bitcoin people in here are arguing:

I saw some people buy a can of Coca Cola for 2000$ just a month a ago.

Now I can buy a can of Coca-Cola for only 500$, it is cheap!!


Bitcoin is not cheap at 6000$. It is make-believe toy money with no real value apart from some novelty value for people who like to have cryptos for fun.

This is the third thread you have started just this morning filled with nothing but FUD. Looking at your post history, all you seem to do is laugh at everyone holding, calling them "dumb", "idiots", "absurd", and "delusional".

There are serious discussion to be had about the market price, the technology, the reasons for the dip, and where we are headed from here. Unfortunately, starting a conversation with nonsense analogies and laughing at other users does not lead to a serious discussion.
16637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't know why some people are placing low sell orders ? on: February 06, 2018, 08:01:18 AM
Shhh. I need people to keep selling at a huge loss so I can keep buying more cheap!
16638  Economy / Speculation / Re: We are now down 70% and still dropping on: February 06, 2018, 06:29:33 AM
Go ahead, throw you money away chasing a dream to get-rich-quick. Reality is that the party is over.

I'm not in this to get rich quick. Yes, you can make much nicer money than traditional banking/savings/investments, but the days of 10000% gains are over.

I'm in this because I believe in the technology. Blockchain technology is changing and will continue to change the world. I believed this at $20k, I believe it now at $7k, and I would still believe it at $1k.

Let's check back in 10 years, and see if blockchain technology is still around.
16639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is what i buy during the crash. on: February 05, 2018, 10:07:23 PM
In my opinion, during a crash like this people are nervous of investing at all, let alone in smaller, riskier coins. So during big dips I stock up on the well established coins, ones with proven partnerships and working products that have the best chance of a strong rebound. I've been buying mostly ETH, NEO and BTC, but also a little XRB, XLM and VEN.
16640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which other coins give back like NEO gives GAS? on: February 05, 2018, 06:33:42 AM
XLM allows you to gain interest through voting for community pools.

ARK allows you to gain interest through voting for a specific member.

VEN is going to allow interest following their rebrand.

Exchange coins such as KCS and COSS pay dividends from the exchange fees.
