Similar solutions to Ethereum are:

• Tron
• EOS
• Cardano
• Polkadot
• Energi
• Waves
• NEO

There are more but these are all competitors with small differences. I probably missed many more so I'm sorry for this, but these were the first that came in mind.
Out of all these Tron is probably the most promising right now but will need to do more. It shouldn't just follow the trends but start creating trends.
Tron is a very fast network that allows some free transactions daily too and fees are very low anyway. It should be more consumed into the entertainment sector that was supposed to be the target.

I don't know why some think of Saylor as a hero. In fact Bitcoin never benefited from heroes.
See: Bitcoin Jesus.

The whole community matters more than one, and this person is obviously trying to promote his personal image more than anything else. Did great for his company with a huge bet.
He had a past with a huge pump and dump of the price share of microstrategy and was accused of fraud by the SEC too, but this doesn't actually matter.
Bitcoin wasn't ever about any one person. Satoshi left for this reason too because everything was concentrated around him. Did better for Bitcoin when the founder left, when Gavin Andresen left and when more that gain power will also leave. There is nobody that has a say on Bitcoin and I keep reading comments in bitcointalk by people that think they have the right to claim how Bitcoin will move, but they aren't doing justice for Bitcoin, only for themselves. Bitcoin is a currency among other things. Face it and move on. It is a lot of things and not just what someone and his friends want it to be.

I took part in some bounty campaign and the result was nothing. It doesn't work and the payments are so little that makes it impossible to even transfer the tokens and sell them.
I have been paid some of them and it was tokens worth $1-2 for social media campaigns. This is a big joke for bounties and I wonder why are people still doing this.

If you are willing to give your private information, you maybe get refunded with the coins you had in cryptopia during the hack.
KYC is mandatory.

As I recall code is made by humans and there is no perfect code so don't expect a anything to run independently from human participation. AI is also human made although it can fix the mistakes on its own. This will be interesting development.
All code has bugs and vulnerabilities and it requires updates and bug fixes. Trust the code means nothing, it is some bs someone thought about.

Oh it's the Bitcoin family and the legend Didi Taihuttu. Famous since 2017, everybody knows this guy that sold most of his belongings, bought Bitcoin and kept moving between countries.
Some criticize this decision but if you read first what he has to say it makes good sense.

It is the reality that Bitcoin is not perfect and fees are the only way for Bitcoin to scale. This is how it is was created and it was known since the beginning that it would be tough to scale.
There was a long debate in 2015 and consensus decided to move forward with Segwit and with the Lightning Network as solutions and there was later a split in summer 2017 of the BCH having in mind the possible gap in the merchant and payments sector.

I think that with the final development of the LN, Bitcoin will once again gain recognition as a medium of exchange. I don't think this will be bad for Bitcoin price or hurt the chances of being established as a store of value. Quite the opposite it would reinforce this. We shouldn't forget that gold was used as money for thousands of years even though paper money IOUs were already forced to be used since the Mongolian empire. A store of value doesn't mean we have an asset just sitting around doing nothing.

This is mostly trading discussion and we can say that price can go higher but trading also happens. And traders can sell to take profit, rebuy at 16k and rebuy at 14k too if needed.
Worst case scenario at 13k and the chart will still not be bearish as it will probably recover from a 30% correction in just two-three weeks. There will be traders waiting to buy the dips.
As a long term investment I understand there is fear to buy 20k but there will be many that have seen the charts and think it is still low risk for the long run.

If there was a LemmyCoin I would love to own a few. I haven't heard of any lemmecoin though.
Also, friend, I think you posted in the wrong section as this is the Bitcoin Discussion thread and you will need to move to the altcoins section.

It was exciting and ended right after making a new ATH for a few dollars more.

I am glad price didn't drop a lot because there can be another attempt to price above 20k having in mind $21500 as a possible target before finding resistance.
I don't think that 20k will be just the reason to see sellers.

Sure bro, whatever. I just don't care about XRP and whatever you say you don't have to promote or shill your bags to me. Do that on twitter you guys are more convincing when you talk to the clueless.

Although with good planning by the team and allowing only community members that can bring quality to the project it will help. Community matters and an airdrop until recently might have been $10 as you say but I have an example in my mind where it was way more than that and I have analyzed it and found that the airdrops helped this project create a better community that helped, in turn, to create a good price and develop into something better.
This can be done if a few people find a hundred more that spend just an hour every day for the community. What every project lacks is this and with the thousands we have today we see no community and no support in most of the startups.

Yes I am completely against KYC for anything. I mentioned one airdrop that asked for KYC and paid but I wasn't clear. Airdrops with KYC are to be avoided and anything with KYC too.

I also think this is possible. We witnessed Bitcoin stalling and not testing 20k and altcoins like XRP and Stellar suddenly making 100% in two days. Altcoins rising extremely fast is a bad indication of a bubble forming. This rise was not understandable as nobody cared to invest in XRP or XLM and there wasn't any news of these coins to be used for something they weren't already.
Perhaps Grayscale bought some to sell to the institutions as "diversification".

Disregarding the fact that BCHABC is another fork of BCH with a weak hash rate, how can we say this coin helps? What does it have to offer and why should someone buy invest in BCHA?

I would expect to see something that will help the price rise healthily and organically and not pump and dumps by whales that are very difficult to profit from and in the end, you get caught holding a bag.

BCH was already a scam having lost 95% from all-time high making investors lose billions. Why should we buy another fork of a fork?

The competition can be very fierce for Ethereum as all these platforms are ready to create better terms for developers. Ethereum is stil the top and while I read big promises coming from Polkadot I've read similar coming from Tron, EOS and even Binance that were all considered Ethereum killers.
I understand Ethereum has flaws and it is recognized by everyone that scaling is important. A game developer would see his creation suffer with high fees and every Ethereum DApp is still suffering. Even DeFi didn't reach full potential because fees didn't allow everyone to participate, moreover didn't allow cryptocurrency enthusiasts to even test their platforms as fees for each transcation were reaching $20 and even higher at times.

I have taken part in many of them and since 2018 there have been some that paid a few tokens that I am still holding and many had failed, didn't pay or never reached an exchange.
With the ending of the ICOs in 2018 almost all startups


I think that airdrops are required to increase the base of holders and supporters for a startup cryptocurrency project.
It helps the new projects in many ways and it is the best marketing for them. Airdrops help a project like this:

• Social media numbers and followers
• Better distribution in many wallets
• Better fanbase
• Advertisement and brand name recognition

For the last two years, there have been only a couple of airdrops distributed to participants' wallets and there have been a few even asking for KYC something that I'm not willing to do but it is up to how someone values his private data. Energi was a project that paid good airdrop and required KYC.

Airdrops will get better as long as the altcoin market is rising and new projects appear. Although with DeFi what happened left me uninterested as many scam projects instantly appeared in a couple of days.

Startups should have a better selection of how airdrops are distributed, excluding certain behaviors, and having a secondary selection of people that have the potential to help the project and provide additional value.
The UNI airdrop was distributed to anyone that used this platform. It is how airdrops should be performed to exclude thousands that would only care to dump at any price and did the minimum to help.
A quiz, participation in AMA, and getting knowledge of the project is more important. Airdrops should be active and have something more than just follow on social media.

I expect in the new year thousands of new startups to appear in the cryptocurrency space and perhaps a revival of the ICO is possible. We can now better identify the scams and expose or ignore them and follow the startups that are developers trying to create something that could help the world.

Airdrops will be more important soon again.

I think that yesterday Bitcoin hit ATH in most exchanges. It is now Bitfinex too and Coinbase. It was rejected again but not like some were expecting. Some are expecting 30% drops for Bitcoin as in the previous cycle but I think that with the halving, we will also have a halving of the dip sizes. 15% as we had could be the new standard if Bitcoin is to repeat 2017.

Couldn't it be possible that Satoshi was not British but intentionally used British vocabulary and the British newspaper just to make researchers focus on British nationals or someone living in England during that time?
I've seen that fraud CW using the word "bloody" while trying to give the fake impression he was Satoshi. Satoshi could just have lived in London for only a year and picked the local accent.
The timing is important but still I remember myself working at night and sleeping during the day for years. So again, it could have been anywhere just have to adjust the hours to sleeping during the day.
The spelling of words with "ise" instead of "ize" could have been auto-corrected by a vocabulary checker adjusted for British English.

I am also fascinated by Satoshi but I think we shouldn't be looking into someone that remained anonymous and didn't want his identity to be found.
