I'm not sure I agree ... you are basically saying Bitcoin is useless, and will drop to $1000 because it's useless, but then it rise back to $15,000 for some unknown reason? Are the only forces you see controlling the price as hype and speculation?
I agree that Bitcoin has not caught on a payment system, but it still has time, and the developers are working on making it more attractive as a payment system.
And you have to remember why Bitcoin has already gained popularity... one of the reason's is because it's not controlled by any government. If governments were to create their own cryptos, there is no telling if anyone would actually care. A government crypto probably wouldn't be very attractive to your typical Bitcoin enthusiast.

It's been a while since I bought any because the price is so high, but I'll probably start buying small shares again if it drops below $5000. Someday I hope to own a whole bitcoin.

Sorry, been out the loop of a while. Is there a DO bounty/signature campaign going on or something? I know the airdrops are over but I still see alot of DO signatures.

It's already over 60, depending on how you count them. I personally don't count the ones that had a limited claim period as "forks", but I keep a list that has both the "true" forks other fork-like spin offs. And this reminds me, I need to update the list this weekend, see if anything is new. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2749969.0 |

Update 4/3: Added Bitcoin Metal. Also, I'm moving the first "Bitcoin Lite" to the excluded list because the count down timer expired several weeks ago and no updates or fork information was ever provided. The website hasn't changed from "coming soon"...

BTW, does anyone know why they added Ripio? ... they said there were focused on adding top 50ish coins, but lately we've gotten Ripio, Vertcoin, and Digibyte, and bunch of low ranked ERC20 tokens ... not sure why those were picked when coins like Monero, Nem, Neo have been on the waiting list forever, but get passed over for weird coins that are not even on the roadmap.

Is there an option to sell bitcoin and buy dollar or tether or any fiat currency using exodus? I know that you can sell bitcoin and buy altcoin and vice versa.
It's not possible as of now. Tether (ERC20) is apparently under evaluation according to their roadmap. If they ever decide to implement it, you will be able to exchange it. It will be so nice to have that built right into Exodus. Preserving cash during a downturn will be a piece of cake. |

FOR THE ADMIN ...
Check out #42 on the signature sheet. Someone is imitating my name and linking to my profile.

Another reason to pissed off at BitConnect... it was fun to laugh at them for a while, but now they are probably a big part of why this is happening. Many of those people who lost money are blaming the bloggers and youtubers instead of taking responsibility for themselves.

Man .... Ripple less than a cent. Ethereum under $40. I missed that boat. I didn't start buying until June and both of those were already like 20X higher.

There is an ERC20 version of Tether, which would be a nice addition, but hopefully Coinbase will investigate the finances of Tether before adding it.

I heard the want all exchanges to register or some such thing. Probsbly the first step of requiring tax reporting on a large scale.

Interesting. I wonder which coins will be added for direct buy and sell, if any. It mentions EOS, but EOS won’t be an ERC20 token much longer.

Is anyone actually using ETC for smart contracts? It seems like Etherium is dominating that market.
|
|
|
|
|
And to take this a step further, studies on this find people tend to want to sell in bear market lows and buy in bull market highs ... pretty much the opposite of what you should be doing.

Internet of Things is a very interesting concept, but I'm having problems thinking of ways blockchain could be incorporated into the concept. Any ideas on where this could be headed?

Yup. I said it from the start. The deeponion ship will sink rather sooner than later. it is now below $2. who would invest in this nonsense?  the value is dropping steadily. stop the foolishness already.  It was less than 10 cents when this "scam" thread started ... I don't think the value of a coin has much to do whether or not it's a "scam", but citing $2 (a 2000%+ gain since this thread started) as evidence that you right from the start? Come on, man... |

Not much to update lately. Maybe the Fork Craze is dying down a bit. I found "Bitcoin Master", but the announcement page appears to be all images, that are not loading for me. I added what I could.

- Low-risk assets (LR) – first 5-10 coins on Coinmarketcap
- Medium-risk assets (MR) – top 30 coins
- High-risk assets (HR) – all other projects and ICOs
This is a good and accepted general point, that higher cap coins are lower risk and also have less chance of massive % increases... but it's certainly not always the case. There are plenty of projects in the top 30 that I wouldn't touch, and some outside the top 100 that are think are very solid and low risk. So I think DYOR is always more important. One of the most general recommendation for any portfolio is to have at least 25% in BTC. I don’t follow it now and it might be a huge mistake.
I didn't follow it at first; when I started I was all alts. Now though I do have some BTC. One good reason to hold BTC is that it encourages you to keep up with BTC news, which can affect the whole market... where bitcoin leads, alts often follow. Good points here. We have to remember that BitConnect spent a long time in the top 30, and IIRC, was even top 10 for a while. I agree with the general idea that top ranked Cryptos are safer, but you still have to evaluate projects case by case. |
