Thanks for sharing! I wish I had enough to have that diverse a portfolio but since I only earn coins and not buy them, my holdings are really only what people pay to me so I have BTC, Doge, ltc and ETH.
Comments:
1. BTC not an alt, but I would put 30% as a safe hedge since you're putting quite a bit on risky alts.
2. China pump will affect several coins, and I would step lightly around newer ones and follow the trend of 1st Q pumps for the older alts: LTC, Doge, ETH.

Hard to know what to make of any new alt now. The concept is incredible as it could tap into one of largest online industries at the moment... but other alts with just as impressive concepts have turned out to be nothing more than another alt-for-profit... these include alts for social networking, porn and gambling... which I think are bigger even than gaming.

Forget the long against btc until correction happens or eth pump takes place... I had gone with buying at the $6 aginst usd and current price already locks in 30%. Still good value now but no later than this week to take advantage of Jan and Feb where both currency correction and eth recovery will result in good profit margin.

A friend of mine asked me to steem about two months ago. Probably glad I didn't or the heartache would be bad. However, I may just give it a serious go now that it is so low... friend says he can still earn about 5 to 7 dollars just for content a day.

OP is having issues with: updated documentation that actually explain it properly code lacking comments. signposting to the best source of code, comments, documentation. though it is open source, the organisation of HOW its open is missing. back in my day nearly every line of code had comments to explain what it does. back in my day nearly every line of code had namespaces/variables with WORDS that explained what it does not just characters there are many modules that do have comments and variables with understandable names. but there are some without. EG https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/secp256k1/src/ecdsa_impl.h (grabbed randomly) if you see a module assign variables 'b1' 'rs' 'rr' 's1' 'u1' 'u2' 'sn' 'pr' without commenting what they do. it helps no one. yes with a couple re reads and running it through your mind in what used to be called 'pseudocode' you get the gist of it eventually. but its still badly organised the funnier part is that many core devs get very snobby if forum posts are not wrote in 100% white paper approved level of English grammar, even when knowing forums are just for common/social communication where only 10% of the planet deem English to be their first language. but their own code lacks the basic coding etiquette Franky I have liked your previous posts just want to get that out of the way. OP clearly as many posters are not able to articulate their points well in white paper English but yes I think I also can empathise with the issues inferred. We can agree the code is open source, but not in the complete spirit of btc's core principles. I have noticed as well on the sometimes elitist and auto-defensive attitudes of some who completely disregard any kind of idea that questions or criticises. And that English is invariably brought into question is also another excluding factor. Adoption, openness, inclusiveness and all that? *shrug* |

Well, maybe eth can not say die. it happened the same as in bitcoin or on other altcoin. I think the price decline eth is a common problem in cryptocurrency, and perhaps, because of this many people are trading. Well, I expect that prices fall eth over again, so that I could buy it in large quantities
It really is like gambling isn't it? Predict up or down, high or low, you have half the chances to get it right and no consequence for guessing wrong unless you pit your money where you predict. But with you on this... Eth facing same pitfalls as btc and its resilience is remarkable. To me this makes me more confident. Would bitcoin have survived similar issues in its infancy? |

Am checking out the site as a freelancer. My experience in general: tough market for a writer capable of high-end writing.
1. Competing with very cheap content that passes generic plagiarism/uniqueness. It's the age of quantity SEO over quality.
2. Clients actually prefer cheap content over unique content.
I'll test out this site and see if this holds true for a bitcoin freelancer platform!

Hey there, I know of a good place where you can buy physical gold with bitcoin - which I only discovered recently. They have several locations including in Europe as I understand but maybe you can check it out for yourself. Verification is quite simple in my experience, they only need a valid ID document. I found no trouble and they're quite quick. PM me, no referral link don't worry=)

Anyone bought drugs with bitcoin and what are you thought on the subject ?
Buying drugs with bitcoin is just as same as buying drugs with dollars or any other currency. I dont see why anyone would ask question like: "buying drugs with dollars?" or "buying drugs with euros" or any other, so i dont see the poing in this question eather. Using drugs is bad and bitcoin has nothing to do with it mkay? I wonder if we have a language issue here as drugs don't necessarily mean only illicit substance drugs... Perhaps OP needs to clarify what was originally meant. I replied earlier but on understanding that he meant pharmaceutical type drugs. |

There's one good drug (medicines) company in India that I use to buy prescription meds online. India manufactures a lot of generic drugs for reputable companies and the ones I buy for heart disease are about 3% of cost in some countries. They are even cheaper than most other fancy online stores as they give discounts when you pay in bitcoin.

I personally that's part of the whole problem with the dilution of some of the original ideas of bitcoin. It's understandable if it's about exchanging crypto to fiat since that taint is necessary... but if you really need to verify to merely open a wallet or buy some bitcoin? Look around and use other wallets, friend. Plenty of good ones that don't ever need verification. Then go do some work that pays in bitcoin so you never need to buy with fiat ever.

I think we always need to give people like you a pat on the back. It's difficult enough to convince a friend to open a wallet, much less convince a business person to look into his business using bitcoin. Forget for a moment that even if the company accepts btc, it may only be to eventually exchange it back to fiat.
Just spreading the awareness to clients will encourage adoption.

I've done so a few times but I don't think it really counts as these are just friends I introduce to bitcoin, and I help them open a new wallet and send them a little dust there and then, so they can see it get into the blockchain and get confirmed.
It's a fun experience but I would really like to exchange btc with a stranger in person!

The reason this sounds similar to gambling philosophy is simply because a lot of the "trading" really is gambling, and your brokers are the house. The house edge is the spread. At least crypto-based gambling attempt provably fair transparency. Do you even know for sure your trades are triggered or closed fairly?

But if that's the real reason why people advise not to sell bitcoin on paypal then won't that be easy to get around? You can agree with the buyer to sell btc but on paypal make sure the note says you're selling some random item and then you can ship the buyer an empty envelope just to show a tracking number on paypal but the buyer got his btc and you got your $$.
Selling btc in that way is like selling pretty much any other item but people seem to get extra paranoid when it's btc being sold.
You're missing the point I guess. If Paypal ToS already deems bitcoin sales as illegal then any transaction is illegal. Not only is the buyer not protected, you risk funds being frozen. Paypal is not my favourite at all. |

Pretty sure I wrote in this thread but for some reason I couldn't find them but anyway I wrote that I have long quoted alternative payment methods in my invoices, including bitcoin. Never had a sniff except for paypal until on Monday.
A client asked if I could take bitcoin but at 90% of current rate... not sure if I should accept.

Interesting side aspect to what I could already read everywhere... but when you say "hard coded and cannot ever be changed" do you mean theoretically? What is "hard coded" as opposed to... "soft code"?
As I understand, yes, the blockchain in theory cannot be changed but this is not to say it is impossible.
I have tried to read up why, but I assume this is partly because it would require a re-writing for all the nodes and consensus to do so. Am I correct?
If, I am, would a consensus to change block genesis in theory reverse the fact of "cannot ever be changed"?

What happened to the good old days when the traditional banking and finance people were dissing bitcoin because of its anonymity that allows terrorists, jihadists and the mafia to launder their billions?
