Aside from ETH, there are still a good number of altcoins out there that you can choose from. The top 100 alone is big enough market for you to choose your altcoins and create a nice altcoin portfolio out of them. You can choose from XRP, LTC, XLM, XMR, ADA, SC, BAT, ICX, BNT, and many others. Those that I have mentioned are the few that are on top of my altcoin list.   
362  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum 2.0 Validators to Enjoy Up to 10% in Staking Returns on: October 26, 2019, 03:03:46 AM
Just curious as to what everyone's thoughts were about ETH 2.0. I know there has been quite some backlash, with some Crypto Twitter folk calling it "just as bad or worse than ETH1." Is anyone gearing up to become a validator? This article goes into further detail about it: https://blockchainseo.net/ethereum-2-validators-10-staking-returns/

Those who are saying that ETH 2.0 is just as bad or worse than ETH 1 are plain Ethereum haters. They will never see the beauty of Ethereum in whatever angle they look at it. Ethereum has haters from the time it split with Ethereum Classic, and even before that. Bitcoin purists hate all altcoins. But I don't and I seriously think that PoS is the way to go and 10% is an attractive stake. There will be a spike of ETH demand due to this.
363  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cointelegraph's Facebook account was actually blocked on: October 25, 2019, 03:46:07 AM
There were reports of Cointelegraph's Facebook account being unreachable and many of us guessed many reasons for that but now it's confirmed that the Facebook account of Cointelegraph, one of the popular crypto news site was actually blocked by Facebook. They don't know the real cause but facebook has on it's terms that they may block anyone that promotes online real money. The Facebook page is now unlocked and visitable.


This occurred more than a month already. At first, various theories were swirling around whether it was just a glitch or other problems but then it was indeed an action coming from Facebook itself that blocked the news' site. However, even with this finding and clarification, it is still unclear what the reasons for such action. Cointelegraph's Facebook page has several hundreds of thousands of followers. They will have to shift to Twitter or somewhere else to continue monitoring Cointelegraph's news.
364  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat currency value and Economy debt on: October 25, 2019, 03:01:06 AM
I think after economy  boom and the end of huge debt wich will be never repayed there will be Economy slow down and fiat currency Will have huge value!!
During the boom assets Prices going up... So More money Will Go the asset owners Once boom is over the most of the money Will be hands of the rich... Everybody Will be debted... Simply everybody is looking for money but simply there Will be significant smaller ammount of the money.

So in my opinion Bitcoin Can Go up like 100k to 500k.  Even 1 milj.... But at the end it will crash. 
And after crash the fiat currency Will have biggest purache power.  Crypto Will be zero. 


The point is that  debt and quantive easing will Give at the End More value to fiat currency!

So those who talking about fiat currency devaluatiion or so You are all wrong.

This is just your wild imagination playing on you. Bitcoin can go up to 100,000 USD to 500,000 USD in the future. That is a possibility, but a very far one. If that happens, that will already be around the year 2150. By that time, people will not even use USD anymore to measure Bitcoin's price. USD is already a thing of the past only found in the museum. So if Bitcoin will crash by that time, there is no fiat to go back to. In that era, you are like going back to the primitive age if you go back to fiat.
365  Economy / Economics / Re: Trump Administration Popped 2017 Bitcoin Bubble, Ex-CFTC Chair Says on: October 24, 2019, 03:18:18 AM
There is no bubble to pop out in the first place. In fact, there is no Bitcoin to switch off, kill, or suppress. Bitcoin is more of an idea. It is a philosophy shared by people who are already disenchanted with the current system. There will always be Bitcoin even after a million Bitcoin death. If there is any bubble at all, it is Trump himself. He didn't win. And the next election is going to burst this bubble for good.

7. Always invest the money that you can effort to lose!

You must mean afford.

All in all, these are great points to remember. These reminders and warnings have been discussed her many times though. I hope they have helped a lot of traders. Take note, however, that it is always easier said than done. For example, the most common advice is that be objective rather than subjective or emotional in your trades. The problem is that the objective assessment could be both erroneous and uncertain. And secondly, emotions are really hard to turn off, believe me.
367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: !!! THE MOST EXCITING NEWS TODAY !!! FOR YOU ??? on: October 23, 2019, 03:45:40 AM
I don't think there is any interesting cryptocurrency news for me. most of the news I hear is about fraud and scammers that are increasingly in cryptocurrency. the altcoin market continues to decline. all this news makes me less excited. but I realize this is a risk that I must face when entering the crypto market. Very volatile cryptocurrency can go up and down without anyone knowing. so we have to be patient in order to make a profit.

Yeah, me too. I don't have a big interest in the news because I see that every news on many websites was almost the same. They have the same point to tell other people but with a different word. I think it's better to analyze the market only because we will see if there is a good time to buy or sell and if there is something happen in the market, we will know what we need to do. But reading the news will be necessary because that will add more information to us and maybe that will help us in analyzing the price at the market.

The news are even running out of real news nowadays. There is not much to write about, I noticed this. News publications are now writing stories about speculations and opinions which are not actually news in its true sense of the word. In times like this, I hate to read the likes of coindesk, ccn, cointelegraph, etc. They are just writing something for the sake of having something to publish.
368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What kind of Altcoins have a future? on: October 23, 2019, 02:43:48 AM
The market for Altcoins has been bad recently, and many Altcoins have died and lost a lot of money. What kind of Altcoins do you think will die?thanks for sharing

I cannot give you a particular kind of altcoin that will die. It is hard to say that. Altcoins are individual projects and even if there are many altcoins that can be categorized as one, they are still single projects. Everything will boil down to how the particular project offers a brilliant innovation or how it is pursuing significant partnerships or how it is being promoted. A project in a beaten path could still earn success if the perfect ingredients and timing are there.
369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scam Projects and Bounty . Way forward?? on: October 21, 2019, 03:41:19 AM
So far this year , a lot of scams have occurred in the crypto sphere ranging from projects scamming investors and as well as projects not paying hunters for their works.

What do you think can be done to counter this ill manner behaviors that has been painting cryptocurency bad?

There is no need to do something big to counter it. A passive response would be more helpful. Do not invest or give attention to projects that are dubious, incomplete with data, inactive in promotion and response to questions, unclear road maps and whitepaper, and so on. Do not promote them either in their bounty campaigns. A little attention is enough for them to be encouraged to do more scams. A single participant in a campaign may be enough for it to continue.
370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My speculation for 2020 on: October 21, 2019, 03:22:38 AM
I hope that the positive trend when halving day can happen again in 2020, if the market can skyrocket again like in 2017 then the future of crypto will improve and make more people use crypto, but I only focus on buying the top 25 at coin marketcap.
Ok, Bitcoin halving may bring some benefits to us, but we should to look further in 2020. Many coins may repeat LTC price pattern when a lot of investors started to sell their LTC coins right before and after the event. I hope that most of us will not sale our coins after possible price bump next spring.
We are mostly community of experienced traders so got to avoid some market traps in 2020. Hold on Wink

Bitcoin halving will probably give us a couple of thousand USD increase or more but I doubt it will take us back to what happened in 2017. I hope it will but I am not expecting that. There must be a lot of factors for the like of 2017 to happen again. The future is bright for BTC of course and the ATH will be broken eventually but I am willing to wait if it takes a much longer time than what it took in 2017. That was very fast. Just keep on HODLing!
371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: will kickico -kickex exchange later be a good exchange ? on: October 21, 2019, 02:36:06 AM
We never know this exchange will follow the footsteps of Binance coin which is laterally developed in a year 2017. For sure they all know how to run the market well of the 2 years of observing and developing.

Binance platform was built from the ground up, the people behind had experience working on exchanges before that's why they didn't have a hard time transitioning and remember that it happen prior to the big bull run in 2017. If I remember correctly, Binance was huge that time that they have to stop accepting members for a while and overall their system. So I doubt that any exchanges of today can duplicate that success rate, not Kickico, and it you would have to look at plight of exchanges built around 2018, not one of them become successful. $20.00 for a KYC? nah, I'll skip and not worth to even try to use this exchange.

Binance is offering 2 BTC daily limit for an unverified account. That is something to me. Kickico will offer something similar to that and gain a lot more supporters who hate the idea of undergoing KYC every time they create an exchange account. Binance rose to fame because of a lot of factors coming into a harmonious play. Although it did not launch an ICO that gathered 20 million in USD, it has presented itself well to the market with very strong marketing strategies and a lot of promotional offers to the customers. Binance was the first one to offer a Mercedez for a trading competition.

372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 10 Cryptocurrencies Predicted to Dominate the Market in 2020 on: October 20, 2019, 03:20:18 AM
From the list of coins and tokens in the article, the most interesting for me are BTC, ETH, Ripple, and Stellar. These coins have unique niches and fairly strong market capacity. The price reduction that happened lately is quite deep, so I see a big enough opportunity for bounces, just waiting for the right timing until spring really arrives for cryptocurrency.

The top 10 cryptocurrencies are mostly interesting projects. They couldn't reach this far if what they are offering to the market is short of interesting. But I need to mention that at least a couple of them reached this high merely because they are sprouts of Bitcoin. Without this reason, they would probably be wallowing in the bottom ranks with shitcoins. Do I still have to mention them? Oh, but why are there altcoins that are using the name of Bitcoin?

374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright as "Bitcoin creator" at a conference in London!!! WTF??? on: October 20, 2019, 02:37:58 AM
Never thought I'd see the day when Satoshi Nakamoto was called a scammer on bitcointalk.org.

I have some evidence that CSW is the author of every Satoshi post on this forum.


Hey MicroGuy, I think I've seen you a bunch of times before, maybe ... gambling? Yeah, probably there..

No one has said Satoshi is a scammer. Only that CSW is a fraud. The link to the two has not been proven. Or there is no link.

Whatever evidence you have, it's most likely not proof. If he were indeed the author of every post, he should have no trouble getting back his account by providing proof to theymos. He should also have no problem providing this proof publicly, in the form of a signed bitcoin message from several of the first hundred addresses of the blockchain (from the first hundred blocks) including the genesis block, as well as signing a GPG message using the public key that's available ever since he first started posting.

https://bitcointalk.org/Satoshi_Nakamoto.asc

It can not be a private viewing, that makes no sense anymore. It has to be public and published for everyone to verify.


The alternative is what he said "I walk away from a billion dollars, or I'm called a fraud." ... I think he accepts that he is a fraud. He can plan his disappearance and exit now, then cash out some of his coins. But he won't. Because he can't.

You tell your friend CSW that you are in possession of these evidences so that he will make use of it. He is in very bad need of evidences right now. Every single one is appreciated even if it does not hold a single drop of water. After all, he has not yet produced even a single piece after all his claims and self-proclamation. Do it please. And good luck!  Wink
375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bank of Crypto? on: October 19, 2019, 02:53:23 AM
Well, there are already crypto banks around, or at least they are claiming to be. In fact, in Switzerland crypto banks Sygnum and SEBA are already approved by the authorities. Read here: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/licenses-awarded_-world-s-first--crypto-banks--game-changer--for-switzerland/45187400, https://cointelegraph.com/news/swiss-crypto-banks-receive-licenses-from-financial-regulator. I guess Bitwala is also offering crypto banking services.

In principle, it is ironic to start a crypto bank when in fact crypto in itself is a response somehow to the banking system and industry, which we consider greedy and an unnecessary third party. Crypto owners can actually keep their own coins safe without crypto banks. We have hardware wallets, for example.

Poloniex closes his doors for US citizens:
Quote
Beginning today, US persons will no longer be able to create new accounts on Poloniex. Starting on November 1, 2019, US customers will no longer be able to execute trades on the exchange. When trading ends, US customers will still be able to withdraw their assets through Circle until at least December 15, 2019.
https://medium.com/circle-trader/poloniex-spins-out-from-circle-with-new-backing-global-focus-5a19357bdaee
What do you think about it and future of Poloniex?
Also they made 0% fee for all spot trading to the end of year.  
It seems that their business is not going very well in last days.

They have to shun their doors to the US crypto fans because their country is not friendly towards it. They are not welcoming the crypto development at all. Not only is the country not friendly towards crypto, they are even actively stopping any progress. Projects are thwarted right from the start.

Poloniex is still a trusted exchange even if they also had their problems in the past. Right now, they look in their best form to compete with the top exchanges in the market.
377  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The top 5 countries are ‘paradise’ for cryptocurrencies on: October 18, 2019, 05:02:39 AM
There is nothing more appealing to a crypto enthusiast than an environment suitable for holding or trading cryptocurrencies, In my opinion here are the 5 most crypto-friendly countries.

Malta
Topping the list is Malta. The country has become a haven for cryptocurrency companies and businesses due to its tax-friendly policy, even for foreigners. This country has a prime minister who fully supports all cryptocurrencies.

Bermuda
Bermuda is a small island with a population of about 65,000 people in the Caribbean. This country has attracted companies with a free tax policy. This also applies to cryptocurrencies as the country aims to become a haven for the cryptocurrency industry

Japan
Japan is a leading country in the cryptocurrency space. Japan is the first country in the world to accept Bitcoin as legal. The country was also the first to adopt extensive regulations for more than their cryptocurrency exchanges.

Germany
Cryptocurrencies are considered to be a separate unit of money and an accepted means of payment in the country by the German National Tourism Board 2018. Germany has a cryptocurrency-friendly financial system.

Singapore
Cryptocurrencies will be considered commodities, not currencies in Singapore. Any company dealing with cryptocurrencies is required to pay GST (Goods and Services Tax)

In your opinion, which countries are crypto friendly? Please list

Great compilation! Thank you for taking time to gather this top 5 list. I want to ask a few questions though. Did you make this yourself? And on which particular bases or criteria did you make the rank? I am also interested on the others who almost made it to the list. Probably the rest of the top 10? And lastly, Bermuda is not yet a country if I am not mistaken. It is just a very small island in the Caribbean which is under the control or considered a territory of the United Kingdom.
378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have a $ 500 fund you want to make a profit on: October 18, 2019, 04:17:58 AM
I have $ 500 or more, is that enough to invest or trade daily ??  Do I need to buy cheap coins or expensive coins?  I want your opinion for me as a newbie.

Do not use it for buying or investing into crypto just yet. You need to know first what you are entering into. If you get into investing cryptocurrency without even getting yourself informed of the advantages and disadvantages, risks and benefits, dos and donts, etc you are in danger of deciding without sound reason or perhaps plainly due to emotion or gossip or unreliable suggestions from here and somewhere else. You have to somehow undergo a kind of orientation first by reading more about crypto investments.
379  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency and Remittences on: October 18, 2019, 03:31:24 AM
The only problem with bitcoin is the fees and the delays when the price rises and the mempool gets backlogged.

what's the basis for comparison? moneygram typically charges 2% or more for international transfers, plus a hefty currency conversion fee. if you try to send $100 from america to thailand you'll pay $2 in fees and the recipient will get $95 worth of THB.

that's a 7% fee. and that's with online bank transfer = 3-4 days processing time. if you want instant processing, debit/credit or cash dropoff will cost you an additional 3-7%!

i'm pretty sure bitcoin can compete with that......

The problem is that they are comparing Bitcoin's fees and delays to the perfection that Bitcoin could become. Instead of celebrating that there is an alternative such as that, a much better one, as compared to similar fiat-based services that are offered in the mainstream world, they are complaining that Bitcoin is not this and not that. While I believe that we will come to that situation in the future, for now let us be satisfied with it, use it, and promote it.
380  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency and Remittences on: October 17, 2019, 03:34:20 AM
I guess the original plan was more than just a remittance coin. The project has a huge reservoir of possibilities. When I checked the members of the Libra Association several months ago, I was amazed. The project was really huge that it could really change the financial horizon of the world.

If you only consider Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and similar companies in the Libra Association, you might see that remittance is the way to go for Libra. But if you take into consideration the likes of Spotify or Uber, you will see that there is in fact a very vast opportunity for the coin as well as the project in general. 

But now it seems they will remain as possibilities.
