It is never a good thing to sell all your coins at once if you because there is always a chance that the price is going to still rise.
If you have then sold everything then you just missed out on some money.
I agree I would also not sell everything at once because it is better to always save some of your bitcoin for the future prices to come.
That is when you are going to make money but if you sell them all you will have nothing left.

It will be a worst decision to make to sell all our coins at a single point, as it can give us higher profits in future if we have managed to save some coins for that point.

It is possible that the bitcoin price will rise in the long term. So it is better to keep the coins for long term.

go for it if you have cheap or free electricity and extra money to invest in..

there will always be something to mine.. besides you can sell the gear and get some of the money back.

The ZCash mining is very profitable at the moment. So it is better to buy some GPU now to mine it for the short time.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Still worth buying GPUs? on: October 22, 2016, 02:35:24 PM
I am still buying more RX cards.
I see no big risks because this aint some asic crap that is worthless when the moment have passed.
Gamers will keep buying used gpu:s.

The main usage of the GPU mining is for the Ethereum. But Ethereum will go POS early next year.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Still worth buying GPUs? on: September 30, 2016, 05:18:55 PM
Still worth buying GPUs? With Ethereum mining getting tough. Can we hope for another profitable coin?
It always depends on what GPU's you are looking for or you are buying for because if its for bitcoin its hard now to earn bitcoin from this hardware and for this ethereum i guess yes it is better to mine alternative coin than the main coin there are many coin in internet you can also do search what is the most demand in market.

but seems like ethereum  will swtich to pos and there will be no profitable coin to mine as for now. only time will tell

The Ethereum will change to PoS. But there will be ZCash to mine. It will be released in later October.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Still worth buying GPUs? on: September 15, 2016, 04:36:16 PM
I'm still buying GPUs. I get them half off and my electricity is around $0.09

With that electricity price, you can buy the very inefficient GPU and still make some profits. Good luck.

The POW hashing for the Ethereum ETH is at record level at the moment, it shows the miners confidence in the ETH.

The ETC hashing hate has reduced slightly.

some folks switch to the most profitable coin of the hour/day/whatever. some pools will take care of that for you, other miners just check and switch.

me, im a set and forget kind of miner, so im still on eth. mainly cuz im too lazy.

At the moment, the Monero mining is the most profitable. It is about 30-50% more profitable to mine than ETH.

The difficulty of Monero mining has risen. It is just about 20% more profitable now. It will reduce further.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Eth hardfork incoming - Race to the exits? on: September 04, 2016, 04:44:45 PM
I can tell by myself who has DAO tokens, i will not sell as i expect the price to go up again after the fork and trading/changing hands ETH is done.
you still expect the price of the dao to grow? i think that right now it is impossible and i would invest into etc instead in order to make profit

Please buy some ETC to support the price. It seems the ETC has dropped quite a lot in the last few days.
Beyond theives and scammers no right minded morally correct person has any interest in supporting the ETC criminal coin.

There is no need to worry about the ETC any more. It will be a independent coin like Expanse or Shift.

The main problem of the ETC is that it has some supports and they will fud the Ethereum and cause a lot of problem.

It does not matter too much. The ETH price is still about 10 times higher. After the DEV2 meeting, the price will be even higher.

 IMO the only reason to risk buying new gear (or even not-super-cheap USED gear) for mining Ethereum with is *IF* you were going to buy it anyway for some OTHER use, and plan to mine Ethereum just to help pay PART of the cost of the gear.


 Technically, planning to "resell" the gear might count, but I'd hate to COUNT on that with the rapidly declining profitability of Ethereum mining.

I have the high electricity price of $0.23/kWh. So I will not buy graphics now to mine. The difficulty is too high.

Add Vericoin please Cool

I agree with that. Vertcoin is also a good one. It has long history and has good community support. The algorithms changed several times.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The DAO FAIL on: August 17, 2016, 03:31:22 PM
I like how you think, but its not necessary to talk about long term "value". There are also a lot of "day traders" and I was mainly referring to them. On the other hand, my personal opinion (well, it may sound like a conspiracy theory, but its what I think) is that Bitcoin (by saying BTC I am referring to the entire market of cryptocurrencies) is still "working", because some "people" are still allowing it. And if we want things to stay this way, then we'd better not screwing with ICO's/crowdsales/whatever, because some authorities can find their reasons to get more deeply involved and then we are all f*cked.

You are right about the day traders. The volume of ETC + ETH was about 100,000 bitcoins a few weeks ago. But today's volume is just 15,000.
33  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: August 17, 2016, 03:29:49 PM
Yes, because it is one of the few ways for you to have full control over your funds. It's a technology able to change and make easier the lifes for many people.

That could be right. That is the reason I bought some bitcoin a few years ago and still hold the bitcoin since then.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who will be the next victim for Vitalik to dump his Ethereum IPO scamtokens on? on: August 17, 2016, 03:28:43 PM
Who knows if this was all an inside job at this point. Look at this shit:

http://cointimes.tech/2016/08/12/etcdao-stolen-coins-frozen-by-exchanges-was-sent-by-ethereum-foundation-developers/

I cant believe anyone is still supporting ETH instead of selling and going all in on ETC.

That is old fud news. The last information can be found:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4xasg3/follow_up_statement_on_the_etc_salvaged_from/?st=irs01o2h&sh=aa71daa2


What FUD? That statement only makes the ETH foundation even more pathetic. Only ETH bagholders would believe that ridiculous excuse of a statement. ETH has really turned into a cult of bagholders.

From the reading so far, the DAO hackers has nothing to do with the Ethereum Foundation. It is just an individual or a group of people.

But some people want to associate it with the EThereum Foundation so that they can discredit the EF. They might not succeed if more facts are revealed.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are we witnessing? a simple ETC pump or a real change? on: August 17, 2016, 03:27:29 PM
I don't think ETC is just a pump. People legitimately like it against all odds (51% threat, hacker owning a huge portion of coins, no original dev team, etc) because it's not a bailout coin and because Vitalik is not behind it.




My fear is that the hacker might be hoarding ETC for a massive dump in future. That will be awful for long term holders, I personally would not consider holding a coin that has not lasted for at least 1.5 years Grin

That is the concern for many people. Otherwise, the price could be as high as the ETH by now as ETC has some wealthy pumpers.

The hacker will never dump because that would reveal that he is the hacker. Hackers don't dump, they sell slowly. Hacker dumping is ETH camp FUD.

The fact that the hack owns large amount of ETC and will dump some time will put a cap of the price of the ETC.
36  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: August 15, 2016, 04:00:34 PM
I don't believe in bitcoins. Just mostly more at lisk and waves)) Or etherum
LOL, altcoins would not exist if without bitcoin, if you believe in altcoins then it is just right that you will also believe in bitcoins. Bitcoin is more stable that the others you have mentioned and it has been proven for many years of its existence.

From now on, the altcoins are just independent of the bitcoin. The bitcoin might die, but the altcoins will survive as there are so many of them.

The altcoins are more innovative than the bitcoin. They are grow and get developed faster than the bitcoin, at least for now.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who will be the next victim for Vitalik to dump his Ethereum IPO scamtokens on? on: August 15, 2016, 03:59:15 PM
Why you think ETH is scam? It makes so many guys rich, I don't think it is scam, and it is a good token for ico investors, ICO guys love this coin very much.   Grin Cheesy

Huge 1100BTC support but whale dumped at the peak, nice.

The Ethereum also had a hard fork and make many people rich as they can have extra money, the Ethereum Classic.
38  Economy / Economics / Re: Merging of bitcoin and banks on: August 15, 2016, 03:57:39 PM
Many have said that bitcoin will destroy and will bring an end to banking institutions but i read this article and find out that bitcoin will not destroy banks instead it will empower them.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/blockchain-empower-banks/

I will qoute some

"R3 has managed to organize every major western bank together on a project designed to imitate blockchain technology as it exists in Bitcoin. These firms are open-minded as to how this final form will take, even suggesting they could re-invent security altogether in pursuit of new banking systems.

Financial institutions are not going to surrender their industry. And consumers will appreciate easy-to-use more efficient systems of the future in banking."

So is it feasible or not?

Bitcoin was designed so that there would be no need for banks. We ourselves will have absolute control of our money. If you decide to use it or not is up to you. Let us just say that BTC is a safer alternative compared to banks but it is not out there to destroy them.

With R3 saying that they will utilize blockchain technology, surely that will be beneficial to them and their clients. They could even invent new types of products and services. So there's no problem. Actually it is good for society as a whole.

Maybe it is not intended to be used with banks. But with banks, the bitcoin will prosper. The banks are regulated, much safer than scam sites.

fails like this need to happen. mainly to teach lessons that would be ignored otherwise since they are too insignificant to be noticed.

although this lesson will be ignored too most likely.

The DAO is a good concept. It is still in the early stage of developments. So there will be some growth pains.

I think so. The Ethereum is just one year old. It will make more mistakes in the future, we have to be tolerant.
i think eth need one more year to recover from what DAO caused . 

It is difficult to say how long does it take for the Ethereum to recover from the DAO hack. In terms of price, it will take 6 months.

I think the Ethereum price has already recovered from the DAO hack. The price is quite stable at around 0.0195 now.
