Siacoin is an example of usful implementation of blockchain beyond simply for trading.  if the value of cryptocurrency collapsed, Siacoin would be one of those to emerge intact as it has a purpose.  Lets not get silly and compare to Bitcoin, its probably got more longer term application but not likely to be worth so much ever.
302  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2k to invest now. help me to make my choice on: January 08, 2018, 11:36:47 AM
Dont listen to people pitching one coin or ICO, they usual invested and just pumping.

2k I would go for 1200-1500 on 4-5 coins you like from research/recommend/like the logo. then 500 back for a couple of popular ICO.  keep back 200 or so for an "opportunity", to day trade whatever.  And avoid anything that has just massively ramped up, it might be good in the future but you're probably going to buy a high, if you like the project wait and see.  Dont buy Bitcoin unless you want to hold it,  or you'll lose $50 your first day moving to exchanges, buy ETH initially to transfer to other exchanges, and works for more ICO.

I think not so many millionaires. If a coin goes 1000x to make a million you need to have invested $1000, how many actually invest that in unknown coins. And how many go x1000?  Thats a 100000% rise, maybe 1, 2 coins have done this?  Putting thousands into coins already in top 100 make it still unlikely, say $5000 makes a 2000% rise that gives you $100000, not a million. Unless there is millionaires club members can raise their hand ?  Grin

304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Correction on: January 08, 2018, 09:59:57 AM
A "correction" is a general market term for when the price sells off quite quickly, usually after a substantial rise.  You do not know when this will occur, or how far down it will fall, its called in retrospect. 
305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anybody Investing In PacCoin? Over 2000% Increase in 7 days on: January 08, 2018, 08:44:03 AM
I read that there are massive sell orders in place so the price was stuck at 2 sat. Today it has collapsed to below 1 sat.  Its future might be good, like to hear more about what it does, team, change to coin supply, but the short term is very risky even for this price.
306  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Intel Hack is NSA backdoor 'Discovered', NSA created BITCOIN - What's to worry? on: January 07, 2018, 11:44:33 AM
Surprised there isn't more talk in this forum about these vulnerabilities, or understanding the cause and impact.  One of the vulns affects all Intel with no fix possible.  They'll have redesign chip architecture, test and produce, will take a year or two until a complete fix is in the field.  In the meantime you're vulnerable from nefarious code on your PC reading other code and memory.  Including your passwords and unencrypted data.  If you want to be safe, dig out your old hardware before speculative branch execution.

307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If you had $50, what would you invest in? on: January 06, 2018, 11:00:47 PM
Really surprised nobody here has mentioned Aeternity more often. I check their github and it's updated every day, they are really working hard on it. Their dev team is solid, 30+ deep and good credentials.
Thats because many are speculators pumping their invested coin - note how so many tell you coins that have already gone up?

For $50 pick something you like the logo of, its as good a strategy as any other.

The TRON Union Core Member Peiwo APP Won China’s National High-tech Enterprise Qualification!

https://medium.com/@Tronfoundation/the-tron-union-core-member-peiwo-app-won-chinas-national-high-tech-enterprise-qualification-cee912b6e7c0

Recently, the parent company of Peiwo APP which is core member of TRON Union, Peiwo Huanle (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. entered the list of “Beijing’s third batch of high-tech enterprises to be identified in 2017” which means that Peiwo APP and the online entertainment forms and technologies of its audio content community have been recognized by the Chinese government, and its market will expand.
The National High-tech Enterprise is a policy set by the Chinese government to promote the rapid development of high-tech enterprises. There are strict standards for inclusion. After being included, companies will enjoy a series of concessions in technology research and development, tax relief and personnel policies so as to help enterprises devote more energy and ability to independent research and development and to enhance their core competitiveness.

Peiwo APP is the largest audio content community in China and even in the world with more than 10 million registered users and over 1 million active users each month. The users are primarily youth aged between 17–25, located in first-tier and second-tier cities in China, as well as North America, Australia, Japan, Western Europe and other regions.
Justin Sun, founder of TRON and Peiwo APP, said: “Peiwo APP is a leading application of online audio content community and a core member of the TRON Union. This access to the national high-tech enterprise qualification represents significant recognition of the long-term persistence of Peiwo APP. Recently, we also noticed that the popularity of online audio entertainment has been on the rise, and the market is constantly expanding. For Peiwo APP, we can only make progress steadily and provide better Service, so as to live up to everyone’s support.”
Tron is a decentralized content protocol that aims to establish a global free content entertainment ecosystem through blockchain technology. It allows each user to freely publish, store, and own data. The content creators will be empowered through the free creation, circulation, and trading of digital assets under decentralized self-governance.
Tron was founded by Justin Sun, the former Greater China chief representative of Ripple. Justin was featured in 2015&2017 Forbes China 30 under 30, 2017 Forbes Asia 30 under 30 and was a member of the first cohort of entrepreneurs at Hupan University, an elite business school established by Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group. According to coinmarketcap.com, Tron is among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, with a total market cap over 10 billion USD.


#Tron San Francisco Office Confirmed! Great news for $TRX!

TRON > BITCOIN

Such detailed analysis.  Bitcoin is a implement, well used protocol and set of applications that been in use for real transactions for many years.  It have some problems but its live.  TRON is a not even at prototype stage, its a whitepaper a lot of funding and a github repo full of template and placeholders (opinion of a developer forum) thats many months from a beta release.  Anyone saying this is a good project hasn't checked it, its a sales pitch and they want it to be a good project, but today there is nothing to show for months after ICO and a massive valuation surge.
310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sia BOOMING...! on: January 06, 2018, 10:28:22 AM
Been watching this one so long, but on Bittrex who wont verify me, so i've missed it  Sad  Its one of the few coins with actual product and real purpose.  Looking for a reason?  I'd suggest its smart people realising its doing what TRON claims, distributed data storage.  Maybe Maid, Storj, Golem etc are due a rocket...
311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRON (TRX) is going crazy. on: January 06, 2018, 09:58:57 AM

Well the evidence is there, in the comments someone traces the transactions.  The questions is raised "how do you know its Sun" to which they point out the accounts are from the very beginning.  I would say even if it wasn't Sun, the fact is someone sold a lot of TRON.
312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Litecoin is dying! on: January 06, 2018, 12:58:07 AM
Its been around along time and steady for a dying coin.  Its one of the few that you can actually use as currency rather than just play trading with.

ASIC proof is not possible with any alt. Eventually, someone somewhere, with the correct determinations and hard work, will always find a way to mine ASIC resistant coins a lot faster. The point of ASIC proof coins is that it is much much harder to develop ASICs for it.

ASIC resistant coins make its logistically difficult to make the silicon, so you lose price or power efficiency or both.  You cant beat it with determination, if for example you need a few GB RAM to hold table space, you need the RAM and that makes for a large and expensive ASIC.  Like a GPU, after all that is what a GPU is with the specific application being graphic processing.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRON (TRX) is going crazy. on: January 06, 2018, 12:35:45 AM
I think Justin Sun's a really good marketer, has a lot to do with it.
Defiantly good marketing.  Tells people developers are joining now and people think hey that's great, instead of hey why you have no developers already?  Tells people partnership with NASDAQ firms, no one questions why its selling itself to business before its even got a product and against the concepts of decentralised ecosystem they pitch.   Roll Eyes
314  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen to the banks if people uses cryptocurrencies more than fiat? on: January 05, 2018, 07:24:27 PM
Does anyone know what banks make money at?  I mean real money, the part of their business that brings in the billions?

Loans.

What is Bitcoin and crypto really, really bad for?  Loans.

People in cryptoland seem obsessed that banks will be threatened by a peer to peer payments, when paypal and a dozen other services have been eating that business for years.  In Europe personal bank transfers are free, I've never paid a fee to my banks in 20 years except when I accidentally went overdrawn once. I know transactions are charged elsewhere, but the general direction of change was towards lower and no fees before Bitcoin appeared.
315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment in crypto what you suggest ? on: January 05, 2018, 03:04:37 PM
Ill suggesting this 5 altcoin for you to buy and hold :
Tron (TRX)  +3999.27 %
Verge (XVG)  +1886.93 %
Ripple (XRP) +1383.99 %
Cardano (ADA) +1156.56 %
Status (SNT) +991.11 %
Those coin have very big increase in price this las 30 day, take a look at it at coinmarketcap mate. Good luck mate


Invest in the biggest risers?   Cheesy That's probably the surest way to lose money
so we shouldn't invest with btc and ETH? because tracing back they are also a biggest riser right? better to to do some research before you
invest as crypto really a business that will give you a huge profits if you focus and understand each aspect of growth. I can say that those
coins which mention are good OP can also includes stratis and neo or waves.

I'm say we shouldnt use "very big increase" as a investment strategy. You're buying at the high, the move has happened and a fall/correction is as likely as a rise. Example, Verge has lost over 30% from its high.
316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Smooth, Low Fee Transaction on: January 05, 2018, 02:56:25 PM
Only $11, rejoice!  In Europe most bank transfers range from free to pennies.

Nothing has been solved yet, its just lower usage and available space is lowing the fee. 
317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM ICOs on: January 05, 2018, 01:07:35 PM
If coin is heavily promoted through fanbois being paid from bounty programme with nothing detailed about the project, its probably at the scammy end. It may still do well price wise, but doubtful there will be a meaningful long term delivery of product and service.  
318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Choose a Good ICO on: January 05, 2018, 01:02:58 PM
Watch for the buzz on the coin and how well its being accepted by the wider buying community.  You can do all that research people suggest, but if no one is interested much its not going anywhere.  I recall one of the best coins of end of last year couldn't reach their soft cap. Meanwhile other projects that make little sense (lack USP or real solution to any problem) have done 5x within a month of release.  Most research is only as far as their website and white paper, most "investors" probably dont understand the technology, and frankly some of the ICO dont look like they really do either.  This market is all about presentation and momentum, if you have neither coin will do poor if you have both it will soar.

I think there are a lot of artists in many forms of media that cannot get payment for their efforts or are excluded due to the whims of the producers.
I think there are a lot of artists that cannot get payment because people dont want their output, and like to blame it on others.  

There are so many routes to market and methods to communicate and market content, indeed even the act of promotion is a paying industry itself.  Rowling and Beatles tales just show us you need to be determined and you will succeed, another decentralised network (which already have) doesn't make people want your content or someone to see the future.  If you cant self-publish successfully on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc, you wont do so on a new platform that just spreads your data around the internet.  Tron has no USP.
