Good news? You find it good news that poor countries adopt technology that's useless for 99% of their population?
That's insanely bad news! It's making the situation in the countries worse than they already were. It's not improving them at all.

First priority for these countries should be getting their country stable again, not investing in Bitcoin.

Don't get me wrong, I find Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general a great addition to our society, but not to Africa. It just doesn't fit in there yet.


Completely unrelated to the post itself? Interesting... The title of the post is exactly the same as the title of this thread. I agree that it's a bit misleading, but it's perfectly related to the post itself.

It's obvious that this extremely high failure rate is due to everyone who's capable of launching blockchain projects trying to get their share of the profits.

This causes scams, incomplete and pointless blockchain projects. It shows that cryptocurrencies are in a bubble, especially Bitcoin: People invest in it purely to make profit, not for its usage as an anonymous, decentralized online currency.
Though this is an awesome opportunity for the Crypto-Critics to call it a mass-scale bubble once again and this time with "evidence" too, it's not at all a good comparison to the Dotcom garbage two decades ago.

Sadly, both Bitcoin fans & Bitcoin critics are too ignorant of the facts to deliver a good judgement.

More. Some scams haven't been revealed yet.

Interesting how each of them has one or multiple good features, but no coin in the comparison has all the features...
 That makes me wonder whether or not a coin already exists that inhabits all or simply many of these features.

If not, wouldn't that be an awesomne opportunity for people who are able to create cryptos?

There is no best time of the day. The market moves all day, all night.

The volatility differs throughout the day, though I'm not entirely sure about the exact statistics on that one. The opportunity to make a ton of money, however, is present at all times of the day.

If you're really interested in using differences in trading volume, price volatility and other factors throughout the day, I recommend creating a spreadsheet and noting down differences in everything throughout the day.
Others might have conducted some research to that already though, so it might be worth it to google some information about it too.

I don't use tools for analyzing.

I do it on my way.

I use my feelings to decide for me, which is how everyone should do it. Instead of having to read through every single whitepaper to research each project, I trade for entertainment.
Trading isn't there to make profit. it's there as a source of entertainment, which is far more important than making money, in my opinion.
Whilst others continuously lead a boring life, in the hope that they're able to make some money by trading, following simple rules, I use my emotions. Contrary to what many people suggest, you should use your emotions, not put them away.

Emotions are what distinguishes humans from robots. Do you want to be a robot?

Nice and all, but I don't see how this fits in the "Trading Discussion" sub-forum... This is awesome material for "Off-Topic"


Instead of post-farming, you could also try suggesting to move this thread away... There are many other ways to farm posts.

Great to have some cheaper Litecoins available, ey? Litecoin has amazing features that make it much more valuable than Bitcoin, but its growth was unsustainable. It was obviously gonna drop and we're still on that ride down.
I'm not worried though, as it's pretty certain that it'll go up again. Maybe not very soon, but I doubt it'll take years until it's on the rise again.

For longer positions, this is a great opportunity to buy more LTC :-)

Happy Trading to you too!

ETH: Great for ICOs and simply an awesome blockchain to build your tokens on.
LTC: Superior to Bitcoin in every way besides its Market Cap, Volume & Acceptance. Has a great potential and will probably obliterate Bitcoin in the future.
ADA: No idea
BNB: No idea
IOTA: Shit. Please get your money out of there if you care about it.
TRX: No idea
WAVES: Has potential, though I'd not put my money on it.
XLM: No idea
XRP: Litecoin's most probable competitor to overtake Bitcoin's dominance. It offers lower fees and faster transactions than Litecoin, but I heard it tends to be more centralized than its most ferocious rivals too. I don't have enough technical knowledge to tell you more about this battle.
NY: No idea

In short:
ETH is there to stay.
LTC is taking over Bitcoin.
XRP is LTC's competitor.
IOTA is shit.
WAVES is capable of potentially having a certain amount of potential...

Additional: BTC will become a collector's item!

Cryptopia is the one I recommend. I also recommend you not to use:

-Poloniex
-HitBTC
-Shady exchanges

Bittrex might be worth it if you're able to verify your ID, though I've seen some accusations of them freezing accounts for longer periods of time.

Cryptopia is a small exchange though, so it might not have the best prices possible available and it doesn't have all cryptos, though you should be able to invest in the majority of them.
Openledger is another exchange I recommend trying out. It doesn't require ID-verification either and has a reasonable volume for some cryptos. Some cheap buys & high sells are available there too, as it's apparently a relatively unknown exchange.

There's also a lot of information about it on these forums and you might be able to find an ANN thread about the crypto your want to invest in.
EtherDelta is available for tokens you might be interested to invest in.

Have fun!

Yup and a lovely advantage I like of Spreadsheets is the fact that you can make the design yourselves. Many applications got awful designs or very distracting ones, making it hard to find the information you're looking for.
Making your own spreadsheets allows you to create a design you like and make it so you can easily find the information you're looking for.

Indeed, trusting on outside applications isn't always a very smart choice anyways, as you'll lose all your data if they shut down, get hacked or if a similar event happens.

Can you please stop calling Bitcoin Cash "BCC"? It's BCH, not BCC. BCC stands for BitConnect, also known as the scam coin that has lead many people into its ponzi scheme.

Now back to your question: For example today, bitcoin cash went up 20%, is it because of some announcement or is it a group of whales pumping the coin?

AFAIK, there was no announcement or anything that caused the pump. It might be whales, though it doesn't necessarily have to be that.
Cryptocurrencies are volatile by themselves already, they don't need whales to fly up & accelerate downwards again. Volatility finds its origins in their genes.


Although there are some Whale chat-groups, whales generally don't want people to know about which coin they're about to pump.
Because what happens when you tell the public what coin you're gonna pump? They buy the coin & it rises. That means it'll cost you money.
What happens when you tell the public what coin you're gonna dump? They sell the coin & it drops. That means you'll lose money again.

When you find a whale group, don't invest immediately. They might simply say they're gonna pump a coin to make you buy it, so they can dump it & make more money, at the cost of you losing money.
It's best to test them a bit with "Imaginary" money on a spreadsheet.  

Try putting it in a spreadsheet. I do that and it's a great way to keep track of all your trades.

With "Spreadsheet", I obviously mean "Google Spreadsheets", which is user-friendly, available worldwide, free and has a ton of functions that make your life a lot easier.
You can just use a different column for each day and make a new tab for each month, which gives you a good overview. I also recommend backing it up somewhere. (I got multiple google accounts: a spambox account, a regular-use account, a back-up, etc.)

So instead of being served, you must serve yourself: Start making spreadsheets.. They're really useful!

They aren't regular tokens. Each crypto-kitty has an other value.

If one bitcoin has a value of $1000, another bitcoin is also worth $1000. However, Crypto-kitties do not work like that.
Some crypto-kitties are bought for a couple dollars, whilst other crypto-kitties are valued at multiple Eth.

Therefore, available supply is useless. If they're all the same, that works, but not if they're all different.

To be honest, I don't invest in Crypto-Kitties, purely because I know it was(and is) a bubble, which sadly, is unsustainable and very unpredictable, making it very risky to invest in it.
Unlike Bitcoin & other cryptocurrencies, it doesn't really have a use, other than buying & reselling either.

Some are getting a correction, some aren't. The ones without a use are gonna drop. The ones that are actually useful will probably sustain their price or even grow.

Hyped coins like Bitcoin will probably correct at least a couple percents downwards, whilst coins like Ethereum will probably stay stable at their current price. Litecoin is probably gonna rise more.

Sadly, that's purely a prediction and the cryptocurrency market isn't very predictable. Therefore, I advise you to do your own research before investing significant amounts of money.
Please note that I am not responsible for any losses.

I'd not buy it. It doesn't look like a good investment at all. If you look at this graph:



Does that look like a dump to you? It doesn't to me. It looks more like a pump, rather than a dump..
POStoken doesn't offer that many awesome features anyways... I'd just stay away from it if I were you, as it's too big of a risk for too little of a likely reward.

Late november, it was low. Now it's high. You're too late.

This is obviously an advertisement.. Besides, you're actually replying to people who are positive about the program, which points to this being an advertisement as well.
I'm sorry, but the numbers just don't look real... They just don't! My question is: Do you have any evidence of the numbers being real and not just made up?
I understand the names, although it's kinda weird and I never see names like that around here.

Individually, each of these things is a "Mhm... Possible". Together? Nope.
Too many warning signs to be true 

Now that doesn't make any sense... It price on BTC? Care to explain that?

If you're trying to say what I think you're trying to say, you're trying to say this: "It follows the price trends of BTC, as many users use LTC to transfer the monetary value they have in BTC."
Now that clears it up a bit, but is quite strange... Indeed, many users like to transfer LTC instead of BTC to avoid high transaction fees and having to wait long for the transaction to go through, but I don't get why that would make it rise from $100 to $350 & drop to $270... That's not a logical explanation for this event at all..

Care to elaborate on your reasoning? I don't understand it.

They're PoS, not PoW, so stake, not work.


If you actually did your research, you would've known that PIVX did have some pre-mining, though they claim this was mainly to start some Master Nodes...

Please try to do some research so you won't have to state wrong information again. It's very annoying.


Can you at least try to answer with a bit more enthusiasm? Try to add some reasons, as you're not just spamming the forum with your posts.


Yup. It also got a pre-mine, it also got a ton of enthusiasts, it also got people against it and it's about the same, but a bit more advanced...
Looks like it's gonna destroy Dash on its way to the moon...

Yeah, that's nice and all, but do you have any evidence to back your claims up with? It doesn't look very legitimate, as the earnings only go up at an exponential pace. (Yes, I understand compounding interest, but you're somehow doing it without large losses, which is quite weird)
Besides, the names in your spreadsheet don't look real. They just don't. I get that people call themselves Phil in real life, but you don't want such a boring name on here. (Yes, that's real reasoning)

So some evidence would be nice. Some predictions would already help supporting your claims.

Not denying that. I'm simply stating that saying "Waves is 10 USD OMG OMG OMG" says nothing. It only says something once you know its marketcap.  Its growth is a nice thing to include too.

Didn't mean to start a discussion about its utility, just wanted to let you know that its marketcap is more important than its price.
