My 5 reasons for having bought and for keeping bitcoin are as follows.

1. Bitcoin has potential to change the world.
2. Bitcoin is a great investment that can provide substantial gains.
3. Bitcoin is decentralized.
4. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency.
5. I can use Bitcoin to buy things.

As long as it is used, specifically for betting and gambling, i wouldn't worry too much. It counts as real world adoption and thats whats important because it further proves to strengthen the value of cryptocurrencies as something of value in the real world.

Besides, that article is most likely false too anyway, 60% is too much.

Someone once said, "Life is like a tire, sometimes you're on top, sometimes you're at the bottom."

People say it's just all part of the cycle that is crypto. What is happening to the crypto market right now is that it is recovering from the bull run just a few months ago. Just give it some time and be patient, just hold and patient.

I believe the correct term for what you are looking for is MASTERNODE based coins. With masternodes all you need to do is to set it up, afterwards, you just wait for the specified time frame and you will be rewarded an X percentage amount of coins.

Be careful tho, not all masternodes are worth investing on.

Hope it's not off topic but i can't find whether this has been asked before, is it possible that the p106 also has 8gb soldered on board? Currently the p106 is the counterpart of the 1060 6gb and so if the p104 has 8gb hidden inside it, is it possible the p106 has too?

I've read about some hacks to the p106 to make it usable for gaming, so maybe theres one for unlocking more GB too?

Fundamental analysis is a good idea, especially in the crypto world. There are lots of technical analysis that people do but in the end it may not always apply to crypto because of its volatility. What matters and always remains is whether a coin is fundamentally solid or not.

Trade at your own risk (TAYOR), do your own research (DYOR)!

You've pretty much listed everything down, except for maybe how you can do ICO/IEO "investing" instead of trading.

Also, theres this thing you can do on the freebitco.in where they promise to give you like @ 0.02% interest per day. Computed, thats like 7.2% per year. I'd say it's also high risk since they can simply close down the website and run away with your money and you have nothing to chase them with.

Binance is now recognized as the top exchange around the whole  world. BNB is definitely a good investment if you'll be trading on their platform. For speculative value of BNB of course i'd always recommend to look at the charts and do the necessary research.

But if you wanna rush in and just buy something without thinking, i'd still suggest BNB because it's fundamentally solid because of Binance being a top exchange in the world  

Cloud mining is mostly just scams. There are already lots of people who have written out HOW and WHY cloud mining is a scam and all you have to do is google it and educate yourself. In fact, i've even done it for you, heres an article i found, in less than a minute, detailing why you should avoid cloudmining: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6gbf9x/cloud_mining_is_a_scam/

Be warned! Don't fall for cloud mining. Just build your own rig if you are interested in mining.

Good question, i too would like to know, WHY?

But if i had to speculate, some people will buy it just because it is more expensive and makes it seem more premium. I know some people who are like this and are fixated on proving to the world that they are rich. All we can do is pray for them. lol.

If you have to ask this on a forum, then you have no business trading during the red. Without proper research or education, you will not be trading but instead be GAMBLING. Beware and always make sure you remember the ever present cliche, "only trade what you can afford to lose."

Anyway, good luck to you bear market traders! 

You have a point but you might be better off actually looking at the project's status instead of just speculating. Is the project making progress? Are updates being posted, is their blog active? There are lots of things you can do to determine if a project is worth waiting for.

Obviously if nothing new is said about the coin you are holding then the developers have probably already made an exit, so you know now that you should stop hodling nothing and sell!

Forum rank isn't everything. There are a lot of reasons which can be listed to show how a legendary account can not be trusted. In fact, here are some:

1. Legendary accounts can be bought.
2. Legendary accounts can be borrowed.
3. Legendary accounts can be created by spammers.

Those are only some reasons but as you can see the only thing you can guarantee with account rank is how old that account is. Other than that, it's all a mask that you can't really trust.

Funny how this thread is still valid and relevant after more than 1 year, and people still wonder why this happens. It's as if people never learn or never bother to educate themselves. In any case, like all the other posters have said, this is either just:

1. part of the crypto cycle,
2. is temporary,
3. just hold and be patient.

VNC is safe. I've used it before. Besides, i don't think you need to be opening files containing your private keys when restarting/configuring miner, right? 

With regards to teamviewer, what he means is that you need to limit the number of different IP addresses you use to connect to your remote computer. If you access your remote computer from your office, your friend's house, your mobile data while driving, etc. It will increase the chance of teamviewer thinking that you are using teamviewer commercially and therefore your access will get limited. If you want to remotely administer your rig, try as much as possible to only do it from your office connection, for example.

Graft and corruption. It's as if the coin's name was not warning enough.

Ouch. Reading this bit of news must really hurt for all graft investors. Sadly, this seems to be the state of altcoins at the moment. ICOs collect money, then exit slowly. So many people are being turned off about crypto this way. Hopefully people are more aware this time around and stop investing in things they do not understand.

The only altcoin which i believe can POTENTIALLY, and that is a very important keyword, outperform bitcoin is Ethereum. Other than ETH, i don't think there are any other altcoins that can match bitcoin's fame and adoption rate.

People are saying altcoins are over, many have been turned off by so many scams, bitcoin is the way to go for now or so it seems.

If i was going to be a potential buyer of your mining operation i'd first ask how much do you earn?
Given u say you have 100 racks x 6 rx 580s each at $0.09 electricity then i'd say your daily revenue is around $41 per day based on whattomine stats as of writing. That translates to $1230 per month.

Now, assuming you bought all your GPUs at brand new prices of lets say $250 each, then the total cost of your GPUs alone would be $150,000. Of course you'd have to factor in depreciation costs and all that, lets say your investment is now worth half, at $75,000.

So given the above, i'd have to wait around 60 months (75000/1230) just to get ROI on your mining operations. Thats 5 years before i turn any profit and a lot does happen in crypto with a span of 5 years. Therefore, i'd really need to get a better deal in order to consider buying your mining operation, so sadly, i would low ball it further and would probably (would still be not sure about going through with it), offer maybe $25,000.

Because of the recent downturn in the crypto market, i'd highly suggest investing only on what i call the "Big 3" coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin. Aside from these three, the market is just overrun by scams and get rich quick schemes that it almost is too dangerous to invest on anything else.

Stick with the big coins or blue chips which are less prone to manipulation. Good luck bro!

It's probably tanked to below $1 for a hell of a good reason. Are you aware why? You should consider these things before buying into coins like these. For all we know, the developers have already left this project and nobody is maintaining or has any plans of reviving this.

Seeing it's from 2014 and no new updates further raises red flags! Caveat!
