Bitcoin already is giving sure profits. I think people are less motivated to try alts when they have sure profits.

Woop Woop!

Wazzup! Anyone care to guess where this will end?

You know where it will end

Anyone guessing this recent rise might be partly due to the US - N. Korea tension?
Peeps panicking that there are going to be Nukes flying around and want to secure their funds.
Hmmmm That Seasteading concept seems to be making a little more sense now.

If US-NK goes for the worst probably there will be no Internet for some long time, why would people buy BTC to prepare for such situation?

For me is simple:

Put everything in Bitcoin.
Always check the price of Bitcoin.

Too easy

Some exchanges want to take every cent from their customers by charging too much for withdrawals and taking most of the fees for themselves.

Doesn't mean the network is congested

You could make a crowdfounding instead, if you don't want to deal with Ethereum or smartcontracts, if you don't have the resources now.
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you prefer? BTC or ETH? on: August 13, 2017, 08:19:55 AM
Ofcourse btc, imagine if you buy btc on the time that it's in 2k price and if you count your money now? How bout doubling up you're.investment in just 1.month. i think thats great enough and no need to explain eth's situation right now. Still a fan of eth.

eth went from $10 to $400 and still is near $300. At least profitwise ETH did better this year.

277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any new airdrop coins? on: August 13, 2017, 07:18:25 AM
I think there are lots of coins which offer airdrops but the problem how can someone trust their own wallets. I have seen so many wallets having viruses, worms and backdoors. There are some coin airdrops which give in the Ether wallet and waves wallet. So think twice before installing a wallet.

Use a throwaway system, like a virtual machine or better yet, an USB drive.

There are several pump and dump coins. No need to create another, just pick your favorite and try to enter the secret pumps and dump groups.

On August 1, the digital currency Bitcoin split into two derivative currencies, Bitcoin Classic (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Far from being a “rushed spinoff,” as Blockstream Chief Strategy Officer Samson Mow’s August 7 op-ed in Fortune claims, the split was a long time coming.

The origins of the debate can be traced back to 2010, when a one megabyte per 10 minutes limit was quietly added into the Bitcoin codebase as a spam control measure. Because the value of a bitcoin was so low at the time, trading for pennies each, the limit was intended to prevent would-be attackers from overloading the network with a flood of cheap transactions.

This one simple variable gradually led to the emergence of two competing factions within the Bitcoin industry. One side wanted the limit raised to allow Bitcoin to scale with growing demand, while the other side claimed that allowing Bitcoin to grow too quickly would result in its centralization and shift to corporate control.

As the Bitcoin network grew in popularity, this one megabyte limit started being pushed up against in late 2016, but through organic network growth rather than by a flood of maliciously generated transactions. The result was that Bitcoin found itself unable to absorb increased demand: Every transaction would now be at the expense of another, and a fee bidding war drove the average transaction fee from pennies to a peak of more than $5 in June 2017.

Many worried that such high fees would hinder Bitcoin’s growing adoption and use, disenfranchising most of the world’s actual Bitcoin users, leaving only price speculators and those willing to pay high fees to transact in bitcoin.

After years spent at loggerheads with the other faction, the Bitcoin Cash supporters decided that rather than try to morph Bitcoin to their wishes, they would simply create a split of the ledger and let the market decide. The Bitcoin Classic chain retains the one megabyte limit and the legacy ticker symbol, BTC, while the Bitcoin Cash chain has increased the limit to eight megabytes and adopted a new ticker symbol, BCH (alternatively BCC, depending on who you ask).

Any person holding bitcoin at the time of the split on August 1 received identical amounts of each new coin at the time of the split. If you had one Bitcoin at the end of July, you’d now have one BTC and one BCH in August. Rather than causing a market upset, the split achieved the desirable outcome of allowing both visions of Bitcoin to compete in the free market.

Many have decided to sell one side of the split to buy more of the other side, but more conservative holders can benefit from holding both and refraining from speculation. Preventing either of the two ideologically divided camps from pursuing their vision does no one any favors: Both camps were stuck with a version of Bitcoin they viewed as suboptimal. The split allows each coin to develop and grow in the way its supporters believe to be best.

And the markets seem to agree. The price of both tokens combined is now greater than the price of one Bitcoin before the split. In the long term, expect to see market demand coalesce around one of the two coins. Bitcoin has always belonged to the free market—may the best coin win!

Bitcoin vaults to new record above $4K, boosted by Japan and multiplying its value fourfold

urday, boosted by strong Japanese demand on its way to multiplying its value fourfold this year.

Bitcoin traded as high as $4,000.93, more than 7 percent higher near $3,941 in Saturday dealings, according to CoinDesk.

The digital currency has now quadrupled in 2017, and is up about 40 percent in August alone. Bitcoin's market value is now around $64 billion, up about $10 billion in the last week.

Bitcoin trade in Japanese yen accounted for nearly 46 percent of global trade volume, up from about a third a day ago, according to CryptoCompare. US-dollar bitcoin trade accounted for about 25 percent, according to CryptoCompare. Bitcoin trade in Chinese yuan and South Korean won accounted for about 12 percent each.

Bitcoin rose in the last week, mirroring gold's climb amid a global selloff in stocks and bonds. Rising worries about North Korea's nuclear threat have sent investors flocking to perceived safe-havens and alternative assets.

Analysts have also noted increased investor interest, especially from institutional investors, after bitcoin successfully survived an Aug. 1 split into bitcoin and bitcoin cash.

This week, Fidelity launched a feature allowing customers to also view their Coinbase bitcoin holdings. The currency also got a boost from Goldman Sachs, which in a report released this week said it is harder for institutional investors to ignore cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

That said, bitcoin's future is still uncertain. The digital currency could potentially split again in November, when the second phase of an upgrade proposal called Segregated Witness is implemented.

Chris Burniske, author of the upcoming book, "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond," also noted a sharp pullback in price would not be surprising, given bitcoin's rapid surge.

He noted on Twitter that upticks in the bitcoin price and Google searches have historically led to price corrections.

Bitcoin's offshoot, bitcoin cash, traded little changed near $323, according to CoinMarketCap.

Another digital currency, ethereum, traded nearly 5 percent higher near $315.
