Anyone here that has used waves for more than 1 year that I can talk to? I have some opinions to discuss regarding waves and want to talk to an experienced investor, message me

Why is everyone so slow? I found out about this maybe a two or three days ago, and I'm just now seeing it on the forums and even on reddit, like it's "new" information. Even though I found out about this a few days ago, not really sure what I could have done with it.

^

It's kind of annoying as fuck too, but every now and then you get a spam comment about a stupid ICO no one has any interest in. Really makes you feel caring even less about ICOs. But yeah, after putting in a lot of money in ICOs already, I think I'm done. No more ICOs please, no more mass spam tokens please, no more mass shit please.

The entire market is in the red. Everyone has lost money. What do you think?

Many years ago, I would have said no, bitcoin is a terrible idea (even though I was already mining bitcoin and other altcoins, it was just so risky back then). Now however, I would say it is a good investment because people are starting to pick up on it.

No... Life > Money

You can't have any money without any life, and before you die, you make sure you have no money left because it doesn't matter anyway

If you got an airdrop in something that has 0 risk... you get coins for free for no reason and you think there is a risk? The only risk maybe is giving them your email address and you can get spammed, otherwise you get free airdropped coins (which are worthless as there are 100s of airdrops every day).

I have been a member since 2013 (not on this account) and have met people who had 60,000+ bitcoins in real life, so no any number you say will not make me poop my pants you newbie.

Yes this is true, click the link and click on 'Rich List' and see the distribution

No risk in staking WAVES coins as you are just "Leasing" it, they have a system called LPoS which gets rid of risk. For general PoS staking though you can lose all your staked coins if the group you are staking it with decides to change nodes or if you do not follow the correct node.

Sounds like NXT where it became a top 3 coin despite being a huge scam (now it's ranked 79).

Just looking at the BCC wallets, it looks like 93.36% of all BCC coins belongs to just 100 people: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bcc/#!rich

So even if you have just 1 BCC for $200, that doesn't matter as just the top 10 people alone have around 6 million coins out of a total of 8 million coins.

If that is not a scam, I don't know what is.

Waves is far superior in terms of technology and team. The only problem is that, and no one else is talking about this, but if you look at the blockchain explorer for waves: http://wavesgo.com/stats

The top 10 people own 48% of the fucking coins, and the top 100 people own 68% of all the fucking coins. What the fuck. There is a huge amount of discrepancy in coin ownership. It doesn't matter how much YOU have, the top people have MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of these coins. The top wallet has 13 million or 13% ownership of all the coins, the next one has 10 million coins or 10% ownership.

In comparison, the creator of Ethereum only has 700k ethereum which is less than 1% of the total

So even though Waves has superior tech, ethereum has a more "ethical" tech if that makes sense.

And I am actually in huge support of WAVES. But again, the fucking discrepancy. 68% of all coins belong to 100 people. This makes me feel like it's NXT all over again (99% of 1 billion coins belonging to just 21 people) and we all know what happened with that coin (it reached top 3 and then after people found out the discrepancy, it's now ranked 78 which is still high, those 21 people are 1,000,000x wealthier than before).

Waves has superior tech, superior wallet, superior people working on the team compared with ethereum. The only problem is the coins are not spread out at all, and more than 2/3rds of all the coins are in the hands of just 100 people. Keep in mind there's over 150,000 people who have a waves wallet.

I feel so late to the party. Coins now are very expensive, like $5800 for Bitcoin and $345 for Ethereum... then $5 - $30 for other coins. I take a look at the blockchain explorers and see big holders of coins, for example some people have 1000+ bitcoin, a lot of people have 500,000+ ethereum. These people got the coins when they were 1 penny each, now I have to pay $500 for the same coin?

Why are the coins so expensive today? Can I go back in time and get them cheaper?

Even if I put in a lot of my money, I only get a fraction of what people were able to get 1 year ago. 1 year ago people got coins for 1 penny and stashed 100,000 coins for $1000, now I have to pay $1000 just for 1 coin?!? I feel so ripped off!

Also I knew about Bitcoin when it was $30, and I knew about Ethereum when it was $7! I was alive in these time periods and was looking online and reading about these things but it all flew by!

Am I too late to the party? Is it a good time to get buy today or should I find a way to time travel back in time?

My frustration is BIG.

I think you're the first instance of a SINGLE PERSON being hacked. Exchanges and groups of online wallets have been hacked before, but you as an individual have been hacked and all of your coins have been stolen. If I were you, I would get a new computer because you probably have a lot of viruses and other malware installed that you don't know about. This is probably how they took your coins, hackers already have access to your computer and was able to steal your private key.


What if OP was a bad guy in real life and he really deserved all his coins being stolen? That might be karma in itself, you know?

But OP, next time don't keep any of your coins anywhere online.

There are some exceptions, I have a couple of thousand dollars worth of coins online because I have no choice... Otherwise, keep it offline.

What do you think? Would you do the same thing? Do you think in the future he will be a rich man?

You can use Jesus but not Muhammad on your shirt, or else Muslims will kill you

No one knows except the future

This would be hard because without an Internet connection you wouldn't be able to trade crypto. Some countries don't even have wireless internet connection, so if you go there with only crypto, you are broke and dead. If Internet went down (not saying it will, but there can still be issues like the Internet wire between North America and Europe being cut, and lack of electricity for computer systems which might happen in the future as we run out of fossil fuels) then all crypto would basically go down too.

Can crypto replace fiat? I think so. Another way to think about it is that governments create their own crypto. Crypto becomes the new monetary system, but each country will have their own regulated coin asset.

You're in a Bitcoin talk forum, basically everyone here knows about bitcoin, the blockchain, the altcurrencies, and other bitcoin related topics. I think the only replies you'll get from here are:

1) Too many options and
2) Too many scams

Because that is what we see everyday. In the announcement forums, we see too many coins launching every second, and too many scams launching every second.

These other options are not very good answers to begin with (in this community):

1) Lack of blockchain knowledge
Only newbies have this problem and newbies can't vote

2) Time Constraint
Well if people had a busy life and time constraints they would not be in this forum

3) Lack knowledge with trading tools
This might apply to some people here as trading even as an intermediate person can still be hard

4) Complications using crypto brokerages
Yeah this is an issue a lot of newbies may face, but again newbies can't vote

I would be careful of starting any ICO. Yes there is a lot of easy money to gain from ICO (I mean anyone can make a BS ICO and get millions of dollars from rich people that throw money at everything they see) but there is a lot of legal issues with ICOs. It is banned in many countries including the U.S., and if you want to do it you need to check with your country laws first and register with an attorney at least. I mean technically you can just do it if you want and there is a chance to get away with it, but it's very illegal and the fines will bankrupt you. It's not worth the trouble. Earn your money legitimately.
