JJG, you won't like my answer, but I confirm what Rosewater says. To me, they are tools. I avoid the obvious scams, but for example, in roach's eyes, even bitcoin is a scam, sooo....
I did get some free Ripples from a long time ago, sold them all a month later and got maybe a whole bitcoin for it (valued at $500? or something). Can't complain, it was free.
If you want to know which alts I have, send me a PM as that's off topic here. Even the mention of alts (except to joke about them) isn't well liked here. But at the end of the day (or end of the week) I trade those alts back to BTC.
I am not a day trader, nor have any bots. I just buy low and sell high. Sometimes I buy high and sell low, but so far I've been averaging positive. I hold for several weeks or months, so some of these things I got middle of 2017, before everything went up.
I missed the big ones. Got lucky (fate? destiny? right coin at the right time?) with a few, and there are a few very long term hodls I have because I know the dev... (yeah, roach is gonna say this means a centralized coin ....) or the dev knew me and reached out.
I don't like mining, but some of these are POS coins (proof of stake), and a couple of them even have "masternodes" (yeah, not Dash, I wish tho, right, who doesn't want a $1m USD node)...
I'm also currently technically unemployed, and have been for about a couple of years, so I have to survive by spending my bitcoins, and I have to make sure I don't lose too much any gains I make. This forces me to be very careful with my trades, or which ICOs I "donate" to, or which airdrops I join (well, some of them anyway, cuz airdrops are free).
One airdrop back in July? or June? 2017, held the coin for 3 months, then it was going to fork or something so I went on an exchange and my free coins were worth 2 BTC, valued back then at $800, or whatever the price of BTC back in July.
I don't know if it's luck, but it's repeatable, the only problem is, right now, I'm not so sure which particular coins you should repeat it with. I have some bets, and again, I am careful, but I am not a stock picker, I'm not a day trader, I just HODL.
My plan in Feb or March 2018 is to cash out some and go buy some Amazon and Walmart stocks. And maybe a small pile of gold too. I like bars. A couple of 1 oz bars wouldn't be a bad idea to just stick around the house somewhere.
I also help a couple other people to buy some coins, and HODL it for them. (yeah, they trust me) ... since it's their money, they keep the gains, but since I'm the HODLer, I get a small cut.
So ... wheeee?!
thanx for that, interesting .... lose the "wheeee" tho ..kind of annoying (not you... that idiot spammer that repeats it at the end of all his /her irritating mindless posts) |

So, I spent $15k USD, with change and paid a $10 transaction fee, and it confirmed in 32 minutes. That's not too bad.
I spent about $10 in fees to probably not get any BitcoinsUnited. That's not too good.  I’ve made no effort to claim anything free. I didn’t claim my free Ripple (thought it was a scam) and didn’t follow through with my free stellar (thought it was a scam and didn’t want to use Facebook) ... I did alright on a few presales but even now, I’m really sceptical of everything now. Maybe I should retire  I claimed my free stellar, free byteball,free btrash and dumped the lot for bitcoin at what now seems like was the absolute bottom of the those markets this past summer. (free coins?... money from thin air?? gotta be a scam !! better obtain and dump for bitcoin asap before worthless!!!..... oh wait a minute....) Then spent the free BTC ( BTC then valued around $5 grand) on a big pile of gold and silver that probably at this point cost me about 10 times what its current BTC value is. Roach would be proud of me....not. a trader I'm not .......and taxes? oh jeeezus! don't even go there..... then again, I'm sure I ain't the only one cringing about now, while watching all this insanely absurd crypto lucre sloshing around in the swamp..... |

Well I dumped all my airdropped free coin at 1k sat then stellar
tanked to well below that for awhile and I was like all proud of myself.
Now I’m like phuuuuuck!
Oh well , at least I still got a fake Facebook account....

I would have to concur. While it takes no effort to fork and it is completely within the ethos of cryptocurrencies, much like low-quality ICO's, these thrown together forks likely do more damage than good from an industry perspective. The free market will eventually be educated well enough to discern fact from fiction but until then, this is the state of a burgeoning new paradigm.
agreed....
Should this fork turn out to bring real innovation to the industry ....
...and I think we both know the odds of that happening are miniscule to zero, at best

If the claim (or prediction) is a high price for SPR in January, my guess is that it is based off of this fork. Appears to be some mash-up of Bitcoin and Spread with a 1:1 giveaway for every SPR that you own. Forks seem to be the new ICO these days: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2671181.0They even went to the trouble of making a website: https://bitcoinspread.org/This could also explain some of the market action for SPR however Bittrex consistently sees small cap coins pumped in unison. I will leave it to the observer to judge both the validity and quality of the offering. thanx for that... this forking nonsense has gotten beyond ridiculous and now is just a cancerous blight on crypto. sad really |

 SPR holders, for the price of what you are prepared to do? Waiting for the release of a helium wallet or selling your SPR. Unfortunately, I put the SPR in the wallet while taking a snapshot, and if I put it in Cryptopia then it's a good time jeeezus!!this keeps up in fiat value it will be almost back to where it was before swap. glad i held! (well most anyway) crypto ....man its crazy. |

... and back on ignore you go. You've got serious issues, bro. FYI there is a "Show/Hide" button on the right of ignored posts so you don't have to Unignore members for a dirty peek on a hidden message. I know you know it, but anyway ... would not a true ignore button make it so you dont even know that the ignoree actually posts? otherwise whats the use? i mean last time i tried using it i ended up "dirty peeking" (love the term btw) every ignored post outta curiosity which kinda renders the whole concept useless doesn't it? or maybe that's just me, idk.... The ignore button sometimes works to clarify the thread. No offence intended but it enables me to temporarily eliminate walls of text that don't interest me especially when I'm using my phone. ah ok. I'll buy that. |

You know that if you want to be "woke" to these kinds of terms, you gotta consume a bit more internet porn. We are no longer in the 90s.  we're not in the nineties anymore? oh shit, no wonder the dial up prodigy internet service on my netscape browser is so slow. Guess I'll upgrade so I can get all those cool acronyms and porn. Jeezus, I'm so behind the times.... |

Yes, that's all of us on here tonight. I was wondering WTF I'm doing on this forum tonight. It's because I have no life except crypto at present.
Nah. It's the shittest night of the year. Fuck NYE. Anyone paying $30 to get into some bar that's usually free to have a crap time surrounded by fucksticks and shit heels is a cock honker. well I'll go out on a limb here and posit you won't be chanting auld lang syne with a retarded looking party hat on.... |

I am completely serious.
Why are you bothering to engage this nothing? In the time you wrote that you could've saved a life or invented cold fusion. Ohh, yeah, I felt on the trap again. Sorry.  Don't worry. He needs some attention, too. It's New Year, let's be good. Besides, he's good against intruders (inJEWders?). Woof. Woof. I swear that character loves being hated. Either that or he gets bored at those places where his like hang out because they have the intelligence of a common walnut, so he comes here instead to spread his delightful good will. |

I'm scared...
We had our chance and we blew it out our ass. We have only ourselves to blame. Where the fuck you been? We have been looking for someone to blame.... I'm prepared to take full responsibility for what has transpired here today. Well in that case, you are hereby fined 1 BTCpayable in full, in equal portions to all legends on this here thread...  |
