201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why would anyone buy this DAO crap? on: May 14, 2016, 01:49:08 PM
I am thinking of buying some DAO with my hard earned Ethereum. The DAO price might rise in the listing.
202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth bubble has popped - Will you be left a bagholder? on: May 01, 2016, 11:52:39 AM
The price of the Ethereum is still around 0.02. It is higher than a few weeks ago. So the bubble is not popped yet.

it's not really a speculation play anymore.

The slock.it/DAO ICO is priced in ETH.  I didn't give two shits about the price when I jammed 2 btc into it yesterday for that ICO.  Many others wont either.  The game has changed

The 24 hour volume is about 2.6 million Ethereum, that is much larger than the ICO amount of the DAO.

sometimes you can earn a good profit if you find a brand new altcoin which is not yet released and be the first person to mine it, so get the most reward while difficulty is still low.

Yes this is a good Idea especially if you are just starting out with bitcoin.
At the moment Sts is really good for this, you can buy it on Yobit and is only 2-5 satoshi at the moment.
And you can find more info about this coin in the topic in this forum!

But at the moment there are already some new good altcoins on the market.
That I also personally own:
  • Ethereum
  • Mint
  • Lisk(still in Ico)
  • Syscoin
  • Warp
  • Maidsafecoin
  • Gulden(because I am from Holland)


For me it's ETH and Lisk (but still in ICO). SYS has been going strong same as Maid so I can't really buy due to them being at a recent price bump. What do you guys say about CBX? they seem to be making some noise lately.

Yeh they are at a recent price bump but ethereum is in a long price bump to, what makes you think that can happen to Sys or maid?
Because they have been going good but with the good things they bring to the table I think they are still cheap.
Like Sys A decentralized marketplace could bring a lot of sellers to it that want to sell all kind of stuff maybe even illegal.
But i haven't checked or heard about CBX I will check it out

The Ethereum is in the correciton phase, so the price might go lower in the future. But it could rise again.
204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How big is a whale? on: April 08, 2016, 06:17:07 PM
It obviously depends on which market.
To be a whale in the ETH market you need 600-800BTC.

In other markets you are a whale with 100-200BTC. (Some below, a few higher).

The daily volume of Ethereum is about 20,000 bitcoin. 800 bitcoin is just 4% of daily volume. Can you manipulate the market with so few coins?
205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How big is a whale? on: March 26, 2016, 02:50:03 PM
In bitcoin space, someone with about 5000 BTC (based on me seeing a wall of that size during the last pump). On the alt side, about 20BTC, though some of the people playing with ETh are former BTC whales who have goten bored with bitcoin.   

For Ethereum, you need at least 100 bitcoin to be a whale.
206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best choice of alt coin on: March 02, 2016, 02:09:12 PM
For the foreseeable future, I think the Etherum could be a good coin. It is in active development, and the price is rising.
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best choice of alt coin on: February 19, 2016, 12:42:43 PM
For short term profit, you can try Dash mining. Some folks get a lot of crypto coins in Dash mining.  Grin

I heard the rumour that X11 ASIC has been on sale now. So the days for GPU  miners will end very soon.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best choice of alt coin on: February 06, 2016, 03:20:13 PM
Monero is a good anomymous coin. If you want privacy, that is a good choice.

Ethereum is a coin as well as a trading/programming platform. Many things can happen to it.
209  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-01-25]Bitcoin technology heralds ‘smart contracts’ era on: January 25, 2016, 09:52:40 AM
Why bitcoin? I think it is the Ethereum heralds the "smart contract" era. That coin is designed to build smart contract.
210  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-01-11]IT Giant Predicts Blockchain Will Transform Tech Sector in 2016 on: January 11, 2016, 11:37:45 AM
Will the development of blockchain technology by those companies increase the value of bitcoin. Will a new coin be developed by a consortium of those companies?
211  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-12-29] Decred: An Innovative Cryptocurrency or A Well Arranged Scam? on: December 30, 2015, 08:41:57 AM
I wonder how do they get the fund to develop the coin? If it just fixes the weak point of bitcoin, they can do it to bitcoin directly.
212  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is Selling Bitcoins on LocalBitcoins.com Legal? on: December 18, 2015, 08:38:38 AM
If you live in the USA its legal,
However, some people buy Bitcoins to launder illegally made cash.


I have noticed this and I have made sure to avoid this anytime I am thinking it is something fishy.  The people who use BTC for this, in my opinion, actually are ruining the BTC credibility.  When the government auctions off so much of BTC, it shows the general public this is not a currency and leads others to believe that BTC is the choice of illegal activity. 

How on earth would you know if something is fishy?
When you sell Bitcoins to some guy in person there is no way of knowing where he got the money from. He could just bullshit if you ask.

When you sell the bitcoin, you need to tell the buyer that the bitcoin should not be used for any illegal purpose.
213  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How did this address mine so many coins? on: December 07, 2015, 10:42:06 AM
https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000037a00b3b0cb76baa0b593ca872c9d92ad60f2a695d37f21

its BTCC
bitcoin china mining farm

as for the not sending out much. two possible reasons:

1. miners only withdraw once a week/month to pay bills.
2. those miners are probably paying bills via revenue generated from BTCC exchange. like for like., basically using the dirty coins from users of the exchange and hoarding the fresh coins from mining

So the BTC China's mining is very profitable. It does not need much money from mining to pay the costs.
214  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will be the highest price BTC can see in 2015? on: November 25, 2015, 01:54:29 PM
If the block chain size to be increased in January 2016, the price could shoot up to $800. Otherwise $400 is the highest for December.
