Have you guys really had a good experience with this report? I've bought so many garbage courses, but this one looks interesting!

The ETH price reaction to Metropolis was dire.. BTC is eating ETHs lunch - enjoying all the attention

This is a great example as it does reduce my natural scepticism of altcoins and shows the top tier to be more stable than I expected in terms of continued presence, but I wonder at what point in the charts you start to see 50+% of the coins lose money over a year?

Any opinions on why the price has been declining for MANA? Seems like a great project with huge potential.

If it were me I'd put most in BTC (at a nice dip in the chart).. but I wouldn't rush into becoming fully invested too quickly. How long have you been monitoring the crypto market? How extensive is your investment experience? I'd start small and gain confidence as you become profitable if you plan to invest in anything other than BTC.

Is anyone else suspicious of airdrops that make you prove BTC holdings? I just wonder if someone is collecting info on all the BTC holders for nefarious reasons
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy Eth and Waves on: October 16, 2017, 04:06:59 PM
Waves has remained subdued through many altcoin bounces.. I'm bearish on waves at the moment.. maybe it will come back but there are better opportunities

Bitcoin Cash is a failure and has rich (seemingly shady) backers.. Bitcoin Gold doesn't even have that

It's like everything in life.
It's all about fame. even if the project is really bad, and useless; if there is community and a lot of people behind a coin, it'll be listed for sure, because it's a huge load of money to earn, for the exchanges Wink

Check for example dogecoin. 100% useless 100% speculation coin.
You can find it everywhere...

This really puts things into perspective for me. I struggle to understand the altcoin world sometimes (vs. BTC - which makes a lot more sense as an investment) because it seems like such vaporware - but I think you're right! Community demand is a key factor here. Now it seems to me getting listed on a popular exchange would be one of the biggest influences on price - though I haven't yet really studied the correlation in the charts to confirm that.

To what extent do you really think getting listed on a bigger exchange might influence the price if you had to guess? Obviously there is no hard and fast number.. but in terms of gut feel.. most important factor? One of the top 2 or 3 factors to consider (in general)?

How do people evaluate whether a newer alt coin is likely to be listed on one of the major exchanges or is likely to remain restricted to the smaller and lesser used ones?
they are 6 factors/criteria that they consider (popularity , team , technology , data , market cap and the most of all the community support) but others cryptocoin pay some fees to exchanges to get listed.

Not sure what you mean by 'data' & 'technology' in terms of criteria to evaluate getting listed Jannn. Can you clarify or give an example? re: technology are you referring to the coding language or platform that it utilizes?
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if coin will be listed on big exchange? on: October 12, 2017, 12:52:35 AM
The developers usually have to pay a fee to get their coin listed on most exchanges like bittrex and polinex (an exception is the decentralisaed exchanges like openledger).

Once they are listed, if the volume is huge, then the main bitcoin exchanges will list it (kraken, bitfinex etc)

Interesting to see that you don't consider bittrex and polinex to be major exchanges. I thought they were :/
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if coin will be listed on big exchange? on: October 12, 2017, 12:24:14 AM
Thanks for all the info!

What's the biggest red flag to indicate that a coin will definitely not be listed on a big exchange - even if it meets a lot of the other criteria?
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if coin will be listed on big exchange? on: October 11, 2017, 11:43:57 PM
very dificult added coin to poloniex

Makes sense.. looks like they don't have a fixed set of criteria for people to meet:

55  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin huge fees on: August 30, 2017, 08:44:52 PM
But the problem with this is most people need to use it for low volume transactions. Fees right now are upwards of 5% on small amounts under $100. This is simply unacceptable... needs to get fixed asap!

Core's vision for Bitcoin does not include a fix.  Not ASAP, not ever.  It was intended that the fees be very high.  That is called a 'fee market'.  Didn't you understand all the anti-Core writing before the SegWit change?  Bitcoin Cash is for very low fees and no delays.  Bitcoin Core is for settlement transactions related to the proprietary Lightning Network.  Get ready to pay fees to Blockstream company owned by AXA.  They are your new bank!!

Everyone thought the activation of SegWit will be the magic solution to all our scaling problems, but they were wrong.
Not 'everyone' - Only the idiots that don't understand the network thought that.  We knew a very long time ago that SegWit does almost nothing for capacity.  SegWit only sets up the network so that Blockstream can privatize the 'off chain' portion and charge you banking fees on that.


SegWit does support larger blocks. Some miners are now mining larger blocks as a result. It also paves the way for the lightening network which helps speed up transactions and drastically reduce fees.

"if you're not in a rush it's helpful to manually set fees low, otherwise fee estimation compounds your unintentional assumed default urgency"  Cool

Lightning network is going to lower the fees for micro transactions  Smiley
