201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to dump ETH? on: May 24, 2017, 04:38:03 PM
The past has shown that corrections can be pretty consistent (30% couple of weeks ago), so this is the time to cash in a good portion of your holdings.
I will definitely buy more at the next dip.
202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Alt to Invest now (Short Term) on: May 24, 2017, 01:03:29 PM
I have news for you: No-one can guess short term moves in crypto. If you want to make money, you need to hold for long periods, even when coins go up a lot in percentage.

No-one knows when corrections are, no-one knows how much they will go up.

Sorry guys

As always, the optimal strategy lies in the middle of the two extremes. If you hold even after a +100% and never cash in anything, then it's very likely that the price will drop and you will end up with nothing. It's better to slowly buy and slowly sell your holding respectively when price goes down and up.
203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Alt to Invest now (Short Term) on: May 24, 2017, 08:15:14 AM
I'm in the same situation, I've made profit on Lisk, Golem, ETH, LTC, Monero and now I'm looking for some short term.
Let's be honest, everything is overpriced right now, so the right move would be to stay still and wait for the dip.
If nevertheless one wants to buy I would put some bucks on XEM (very short term).
204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What ICO are you watching next? for me BAT, TEZOS and STATUS on: May 23, 2017, 09:55:09 PM
I'm still concerned about Tezos, and have been since I learned that the ICO is uncapped. Particularly in the current feverish climate.
Also found this today (an old post, but still...)

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6am251/what_are_everyones_thoughts_on_tezos_coinss_ico/

Is it really true that the founders get 8.5% of fiat from the ICO?
There are a lot of people who know a lot more than me, but still... I'm not touching this one at all.



Very informative, thank you for the link.

207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bitstamp adding litecoin on: May 22, 2017, 04:07:24 PM
LTC has so many real news and developments in comparison to the other coins.
The 100 dollar run is approaching, and it will not dump from there.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC to achieve same results as ETH on: May 21, 2017, 01:49:39 PM
Litecoin is a big disappointment in terms of the price and each and every coin had a good rally after activation of segwit,while in the case of litecoin we saw a good rally before the activation and after that we saw a deep slip up in the price and i really never expected this to happen because i am seeing the rally after a really long time and the rest of the coins did have a good rally and it is really not picking up its pace ,hope we will see a rally in the near future but it wont catch ETH.

And this means only one thing: the real rally has still to come!
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do I "Do my own research" on: May 19, 2017, 08:41:05 AM
Nice list, even though realistically no ICO is going to give you all these positive features.
210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Veltor and what we can learn from it on: May 17, 2017, 01:43:38 PM
So, Veltor got a real shitstorm on their hands:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1583655.1480

Coinmarketcap shows the drama:

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/veltor/

Now I don't want to discuss ethics here, or whether or not their decision to turn this into an ICO is justified.

What I find more interesting is a problem this incident shows, which most, if not all blockchain projects share to some degree:

While the network may be decentralized, development isn't.

Most blockchain projects are developed by a relatively small group of people, who hold a lot of power. The bigger projects, having bigger teams and a knowledgeable community which can take over development in case of one or a group of devs leaving, are more safe, but still: Even Bitcoins price was heavily influenced when Mike Hearn left as loudly as he did.

Now, this is a problem without a good solution. In theory, all those projects are opensource and changes to the protocol will have to be approved by the majority of users by using a new version of a client or by any other means. However, I would argue, that most users don't even read the whitepaper, let alone the code and therefore, have to trust those who do, which, in case of smaller projects, may in fact be only the dev him_herself.

This is not really news, but it's something that needs to be discussed more often.

I agree with your analysis.
In fact I believe that the blockchain project that will be able to overcame this issue will became the new big thing, much much bigger than BTC itself. It will be really a step, maybe the definitive one, though real decentralization.

A funny idea that comes to my mind is to allow a swarm of AI to create and maintain the blockchain. New improvements could come from some random process, a sort of machine learning algorithm that implement on test-net all the possible variation of the code, by maximizing some parameters chosen at the beginning, like time of the transactions, fungibility, distribution, ecc.
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PIVX Price end of the month? on: May 17, 2017, 01:17:11 PM
It seems to me that PIVX is building resistance at 1 USD. It should start climbing from here...
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC retracing back to support line? on: May 16, 2017, 08:07:15 AM
I think that many people are scared of another 2014-like period, but this makes little sense considering Segwit+LN.
I will buy more now, in fiat.
213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin SegWit Bounty Litecoin $1 Million Bounty Invites Hackers to Test SegWit on: May 14, 2017, 08:43:17 PM
wow, that's a lot of confidence in Segwit.

215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rising prices Alert app on: May 12, 2017, 10:26:31 PM
Try this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trelo.android.abcfolio

You get a notification when the price goes above (or below) a certain threshold (sound, visual notification and vibration).
Moreover a big update to the app is coming in the next days.
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PIVX News on: May 09, 2017, 06:59:55 PM
Very good time to buy PIVX indeed, probably the most promising investment right now.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin to 26-56 (Forecast) on: May 09, 2017, 03:47:41 PM
I find unrealistic a steady rise with no serious dips. And I like to buy in the dips, that's all!
I'm already holding LTC, so even if there is no dip it will be fine for me.

Well, I was damn right. I would have bought even at 0.0131 if Polo was not lagging like crazy.


probably that's was all. Back to 3 now?

I guess so. It depends on BTC of course, but since there are no real news for BTC we can expect some flatness or even a correction. We will see.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt Bubble Popped? on: May 09, 2017, 08:53:41 AM
Bitcoin rises, alts maintain the same value in dollar, so they go down with respect to BTC, plus panic sell.
So it's normal.
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PIVX became exchange neutral with the latest wallet release, polo next? on: May 08, 2017, 01:28:30 PM
Now pivx is exchange neutral

Where can I find more details on this (the source of the news)?
220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The pump and pump and pump and pump of Ripple on: May 07, 2017, 02:07:59 PM
Just sold mine, don't think it will go much higher for now.

I hope you aren't gonna regret this one. I am still holding mine and expect it to about 10x still this month.

Honestly I've sold too. Bought this morning at 0.00006730 and sold a couple of hours later at 0.00008351. 
I hope to re-open a long soon.
