if bitcoin goes down to $800 you should buy as much as you can in my opinion because first of all it won't go that low second of all that would be a good opportunity to buy cheap coins before it goes back up.

but if you want to invest in other altcoins you certainly can but it is not wise at all to invest in altcoins such as ethereum that are manipulated and are getting pump and dumped.

p.s. you need to see some charts by the way because the prices of coins you named (i don't know what the hell USDCOIN is) have never been stable.

it is all about the daily trading volume. if it is good and high, that shows people are interested in the coin because obviously they are trading it and if it reaches the levels of standard by poloniex and bittrex, they will surely list it and the coin can grow bigger even.

with that said, i am not so familiar with this coin. i couldn't fin MRAI on anywhere!!
but doing some research i found RaiBlocks (XRB) is that the same coin?
if yes the volume in last 24 hours were 26.24 BTC and it looks like it is the first day of it being listed there! in that case this number is not so reliable. if it can keep it up for a month then we can expect more.

well it is true! using faucet is a waste of time! faucet on a dice site is there so that you can test the website and see how it works, if it is fair, test features, test strategies, .... not for making money.
the only method i have seen to work is faucet farmers, i don't exactly know how it works but i have seen many users do it on primedice when i was playing there last year. i think they blocked them.

for the faucet strategy to work you have to find something that is more than 100-200 satoshi. for example a site that ranks you up and gives you 1000-2000 satoshi so you can make some better bets. (bitsler does that at level 2 i think at 1250 satoshi).
with that you can start making 100 satoshi bets with low chance of win but if you win you can make a bigger amount like 100,000 from 100 and then use that as a continuation of your strategy.
and remember we are talking about a long strategy so it consumes lots of time.

Litecoin: as my first investment because the price is stable and it has been showing growth up to $4 and also it has a good developers team and it also has a SegWit activation upcoming.

Monero: as a second choice since it has been around and the price is stable and it has kept up with bitcoin price rising despite all other coins being dumped.

dash: it is too late to get it. unless you want to day trade it with high risk and take advantage of the dips+rises. but the pump is over.

ETH: it is late to get it this coins too. you should have bought at 0.01BTC and when it went down to 0.007 if i remember it right. now it is in a bubble.

ZCash: no way. this is in a bubble also. and it is a dumping coin in general.

no that is wrong.
because simply put, if there was opportunity to do arbitrage trading, price wouldn't have been high in first place or didn't stay high at least. why do you think bitfinex and bitstamp and kraken and .... have the same price? it is not magic.

first of all it is easy to figure out you are doing it since you are only using one address in the middle and they can even consider your address as one of the gambling site's addresses and ban you.

but the question is why even bother with this much headache. just buy from Coinbase, move to your desktop wallet and gamble with those funds. if you win just move to your desktop wallet and keep it there. this way even if Coinbase bans you, you haven't been keeping anything in their site.

no you are wrong, mostly because you are one of those guys who are pushing the idea of "trading=gambling" and i strongly disagree with that whole idea.
this is just a simple case of a sudden big pump, and that is coupled with lots of spam-hype to push the price of Dash up and each time it is successful those who were hyping it, unload their bags they were holding on the market and crushing it until they are out.

just a thought but have you checked the OP_RETURN part of these transactions to see what they are storing? they may be doing some sort of weird data storage thing on blockchain. although it is way too many transactions!

here is on:

am i the only one who thinks what you said doesn't make sense?
you say i never listen to people saying HODL as in you lost money because of hodling then you say you sold. these things don't go together. you need to get your story straight

anyways, if you are trading bitcoin short term then don't listen to this topic or any other just sell high and buy back low. but if you are not a trader then HODL is the best suggestion you can ever get.

miners are making money from the block reward not from fees. and if there were no transaction whatsoever, they will still find blocks which means they will still make money by receiving the 12.5BTC block reward. you can check blocks 1 to 100 to see this (these are most probably empty blocks)
in these blocks which were the first blocks ever created there were no transactions and there is only the block reward (coinbase transaction)

well to be fair, in the beginning i found the project in general pretty interesting and i found some good features in it but as time passed by and i first encountered the massive scale spam on every single social media to hype pump the coin i started to resent it and when later on i found out more about bugs and in the end the fact that it is full of bugs and bad features i stopped liking it. now i say it should be worth so much less.

but this doesn't mean it will though. the whales that are pumping this coin are not yet done with it. they want to make a fortune and then get out to live a millionaire's life.


i love this word because it describes the situation perfectly.
i still have messages on my reddit account advertising ETH through mass messaging!

dude OP is talking about the past 12 months, the hype of ETF approval is a recent crap that is flying around only these days (less than a month) and the 150% increase in one month is pathetically small rise for bitcoin. check the history sometime and see how big we were rising each year. there is actually a good reply in the second comment you can refer too and also you can check bitcoinwisdon or bitcoincharts to see the history of all the past 8 years.

i don't expect anything anytime soon. miners revenue has gone up 530% because of the combination of price rise and fee rise to 200% what it was before and they are loving the spam attack so far.

why would they want to change anything!

i have lost count of altcoins that were supposed to "kill bitcoin" or "replace bitcoin" etc. and each time i see one of these topics i either feel joy because i invested before the pump and topics like this tell me "sell as soon as possible" because the pump is nearly over and things are becoming unstable.
or i am sad because i missed a big ass pump.

in case of this topic it was the first happy feeling

that is why it is said like a million times to gamble with money you can afford to lose.
i have had similar experiences but nowadays i always put a portion of my earning to gambling. for example if i get paid some money/bitcoin then i use a small portion of it to gamble and put the rest in my cold storage. and if i lost that money i wouldn't worry at all and if i won then even better, i withdraw the winning amount to my hot wallet and keep the initial amount to gamble more.

i am starting to think that the ETF approval is going to be a dispointment, because when it is approved there is no "new money" coming in. it is the same old people and they have already bought and are waiting for taking their profit so it may not go up at all!

but if it is not approved, it will drop but i don't think $1000 resistance can be broken that easily.

you do realize that this topic and what you said contradict each other, don't you?
when you keep hoarding your coins and never spend them and others start doing the same thing, then why the hell would a merchant start accepting bitcoin! there would be nobody who is willing to buy things from him with bitcoin!
and as a consequence bitcoin price will never be that high. and it would become a plaything that speculators play with in low prices to make profit. because you can make more profit when price goes from $100 to $120 and that rise is easier compared to rise from $10,000 to $12,000 (same profit).

you deposit your bitcoin, altcoin, fiat on these sites and they give your "account" some credit which is just numbers and you exchange this credit with other accounts on that site (exchange service). and that is why it is fast and that is why centralized exchanges are popular despite being so bad.

you are right about the clog that has happened recently and caused the fees to increase at an alarming rate. but this is the result of a continuous spam attack on bitcoin. and this can not go on forever, it will stop at some point and things will eventually come down to normal state. or if it continues down this path for a long time, bitcoin will no longer be a currency and will be something you buy and hodl to sell and take fiat.

and besides the spam attack is happening on bitcoin can happen on any other altcoin and cause problems, it may not be the same because of how they work but it can at the very least cause a big rise in the size of their blockchain causing nodes to stop.

the steps we took to rise up to the current price doesn't show a bubble yet but the rise is a bit scary and not-so-common for bitcoin to keep on rising like this. if we break the $1300 resistance in the following days then i am going to start expecting a big correction on the way. but i still can not call it a bubble though.
it is mostly because of the ETF on the way and by 11th things will slow down.
