Unlimited amount of coins will in the long run not perform. Less than 20% of all Bitcoin still to mine, how many % ETH?
That 20% cannot be dried up in our generation. The estimated year for a BTC to completely mine is 2140 still a long way to go.

Now the market is not certain and to make a decision base on what is happening will not be rational . Bitcoins downward is affecting all crypto currencies and unless the storm is calm it will be hard to make a prediction of bitcoins.
In investment there is no certain. There always a lose side. The behavior of the market right is hard to predict. I think it's better to invest on the new coins rather than the existing coins because of a high swing of volatility.

it is not losing popularity, but high transactions fees could make the crypto unsuitable for small charges.. and that could lead to lower usage...
I think it one of the reason why some of the investors/traders opted on altcoins. BTC should do something on this. High fee can ready hurt the market if the the investors/traders will sell out their BTC in exchange of altcoins this cause to the price of BTC to drop more badly.

Ripple seems become a big thing in the cryptocurrency market. Many government entities interested on it. This could affect the price of ripple for sure.

I have 100 Waves. Its price now falling down and down. I'm in Confusions Sell it or Hodl it now!
Selling it now is not good idea. The market is continues diving because of panic selling. If the crypto people try to hold a bit it can help to lift the price. And there is a predction (I cannot recall the article) that on March there is a high tendency that the price will soar.

Right now there are more coins available in the market which gives you more profit than bitcoin. Bitcoin price is also not stable. All these factors affect its popularity ?? What you think, still bitcoin is more popular ?
In term of popularity btc still the king. And I think it will not ends on our generation. though ethereum and ripple trying to be in stage of btc but it cannot overthrow the btc as a king of cryptocurrency.

The more alternative coins - the more competitive the market of crypto-currencies. This allows you to buy more interesting coins at lower prices. This is important for bulls, but not interesting for bears
Nice dude. that's the reason altcoin why altcoin is important. It's serve as a price equilibrium in the market. Without altcoins, maybe the price of btc right is so high that only the filthy rich can afford.

So lets say I buy 100 ENG coins.
Who benefits from this? Yes I know the person or the exchange that sells it does, but that not what Im talking about.
What does buying the coins do for the developers? The project? The network?
Lets admit it, aside from the store of value and being able to pay for things, investing in alt coins is really just a digital coin collection.
Are we not all just picking our favorite coins and hoping that others think they are special and buy them which accounts for the value?
Its really just like investing in comic books, trading cards, art, or real coins.
No one has ever been able to explain to me why buying these coins helps in the functional use of them.
Before anyone answers, yes blockchain tech is great and will be used in the future, I am not disputing that, and to all thecrazy crypto zealots that say its a sign from above to bestow wealth on the needy or any other crap like that.....spare me.
If you buy a coinds the people in the market will benefits of it. If there is a circulation of money everyone in the market will benefits not just the creator of the coins.

In any healthy ecosystem there is always competition and the best usually rises to the top. Many Bitcoin elitists believe that there should only be one cryptocurrency, but having other altcoins as an option would both spur on innovation, but also ensure that it truly is the best option out there. Having only one cryptocurrency as an option for the world would also give the network too much power and if the core developers made changes that the people didn’t agree with switching to another coin would be more difficult. Having choice is freedom and allows people choose the best option for them and balance the power of this new internet money.
I like your view dude. True. Altcoins give the traders/investors to practice their freedom of choice and will not leave you in a single option which very necessary in the market to stop excessive power of price's manipulations.

1. it is a decentralized currency that nobody can control, censor, tax, restrict, ban,...
Price of BTC can be manipulated indirectly. Oligarch can still dictate the price. So still they can control the price. Every country can tax a btc if they want to. They can do that in the payment. They can dictate the banks and other agency to tax the money from btc. In restriction and ban it already happening in other country (like Bangladesh). Bottom line BTC is no immune in manipulation. As long people in power wanted to, they can do whatever they want.

Binance was never been hacked. As per their CEO (Chanpeng Zhao) the system was upgraded that's why there was issue of accessing the binance.

i think he/she misunderstanding about that creating account using VPN @Tambu it was not ban, but if you creating account with VPN ( on evil ip ) you are unable to post and you need to pay a little bitcoin to able posting.
You also can create an account with Proxy/VPN/Tor. It's not against the rules. Of course, if you are lucky enough (happens frequently with Tor), the IP will be blacklisted. But this only happens when you are creating a new account under the blacklisted IP. After paying the fee and registering (or just logging in with your existent account), you can login to the account normally. Thanks TryNinja for clarifications. Yeah I misunderstood it.

Nothing, it won't affects your account. it will be a problem if you use 2 accounts on the same IP address
Wrong. You can use 2 or more accounts on the same IP address, it's not against the rules. Theorically, you can use as many accounts as you want on same IP address as long as you not breaking any rules of Bitcointalk. True. Multiple account is allowed, so there is no violation of using different accounts in a single IP. It's nothing wrong to use different IP's, you aren't breaking any of Bitcointalk rules. This is policy of Bitcointalk - some people want to stay anonymous, others want to avoid censorship and this is why people are allowed to use dynamic IP adresses, Proxy, VPN, Tor to access Bitcointalk. You wont get permaban, don't worry.
Using Proxy, VPN I think is not allowed you will get ban if you open your account in VPN and proxy.

China continues to implement bans on Bitcoin trading platforms instead of the ICO Ban as in August, China's work to promote China's dominance of the market. Chinese regulators also target individuals and companies that provide clearing services, arrange and market. Small-scale (P2P) transactions are not affected. Miners started moving to other countries, which was obvious because of the good workmanship and good law China's government's digital money-cutting measures have had a huge impact on bitcoins and other co-substitutes over the past several months. In line with China's ban on bitcoin, on price bubbles, Korea tightens bitcoin trading. At the beginning of last year, China remained the strongest bitcoin trading market. It is also home to many of the world's largest bitcoin companies. Digital diggers have rushed into China because of low electricity prices, cheap labor and many supporting industries. Many bitcoin companies like Bitman, BTC.Top and ViaBTC have fled China for easier-to-do markets like the United States, Canada and Singapore. Ironically there are people belittling the contribution of China or Chinese in the market of Cryptocurrency. China is a marketplace that cannot be neglected. Their impact can be felt immediately.

Just wondering, is it really necessary to post on Meta to earn some merits? I've been seeing a lot of merited posts from Meta and I think most of the people on BTT are now trying to post something here. LOL I think so dude. See, you got merit because your're in meta.

If the whole idea is to reward quality posing users, and slow spam down. Then farming for it, or giving it to someone just because they are your friend should be against the rules, however would be hard to prove. So it is likely just unethical.
Trading merits to your friends is not against the rule. I haven't read it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0As long the post of your friend is qualified to a quality post, giving merits is not an issue.

Merits should be viewed in positive side. Though there is a dark side about merits but people should support and abide the rule. Even members will whine, this rule is already implemented then we under the rule compel to follow.
Rule is rule.whether you like it or not protesting on it it just exhaust your energy and will result to nothing. In society that new rule of law is uphold there is always a whiners and against it, but later on they be used to it and will follow it as if there's nothing happened. It's just a mater of time the members of this forum will be used to merits rule.

In my opinion altcoins help to expand and shake up the cryptocurrency world. They also push the limits of technology that may have not been pushed with bitcoin alone.
Somehow Altcoins shake the market. but one thing for sure stellar coins/token could not abuse the price if there are a lot of options which these are the job of altcoins.
