imagine if people sold because of the cancelled hardfork? That's what i think. We expected BTC to become "better" and it didn't happen. We expected some "free money" from the fork - it didn't happen. Transactions got stuck. People moving to BCH is very reasonable to my mind.

Just ask yourself: What brings more money to those who are already the richest people on earth? Wars, diseases, crime - all of them cost a lot of money so they gain a lot of profit for certain people. + no one of the government nor any great mogul wants you to be happy or healthy. Happiness doesn't bring money. Sickness brings money. Having money makes people lives so much better FACT..
Now having no money makes people lives sad FACT..
Only in our's today societey. Imagine living on a lonely island by your own, having nothing more than your little tent, some chicken and coconuts. No worries about debts or crime. Would you be unhappy? I don't think so  |

Würde auch eher zu Kraken tendieren. Ist zwar eine entsprechende Validierung nötig, aber immer noch besser als dass die eigenen Daten weitergegeben werden (bitcoin.de).

Going to lock this topic by the end of the day since my question seems to be answered and nobody cares for what my purpose was.
There is no technical advantage.
Thank you all for your participation in this topic and your points of view, i appreciate it.

"My product is extraordinary but people don't know it" - every investor will go in.
We're not talking hairdryers or nose hair trimmers. People here constantly overstate the tech and completely disregard the monetary aspect. Bitcoin has no technical advantages over other coins. None. Many of them simply are Bitcoin with a couple of tweaks. What Bitcoin does have is everything that surrounds it that other coins do not. That includes hash rate, trust, acceptance, profile. That's pretty much impossible to obtain. Money cannot buy it. You can't scare people into awarding it. Bcash will learn that. It has to be earned. If Bumcoin had that we'd be on Bumcointalk instead regardless of how good or bad technically Bumcoin was. >.< Don't get me wrong. I absolutely understand what you're saying. But my personal opinion is totally different and that's why i asked FOR A TECHNICAL ADVANTAGE disregarding every other component that makes Bitcoin valuable. I don't want to offend anyone or make Bitcoin "bad". I just want an honest discussion about its technology. But if you guys really want a good example why i think Bitcoins popularity is worth nothing - Think of Nokia. (i really really really don't want the discussion into this direction, please keep in mind) |

The tech aspect can't be disentangled from the trust and robustness.
I disaggree with that. Also, i explicitly asked for a technical advantage. Imagine this situation: A company makes a pitch and says to the investor: "My product sucks but people believe in it. There are far better products on the market but people don't care." And what is easier for a company?
Marketing or technical development?It is marketing. So whenever a company comes and says "My product is extraordinary but people don't know it" - every investor will go in. Sales and building trust can be very easy with the right team. Also, look for this article (especially the guys from some posts above): https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-close-did-bitcoin-get-to-disastrous-chain-death-spiral |

Some of those cryptocoins included in your list should arguably not be there. You said you removed the useless ones, but some people in the community would say that Dash and Ethereum Classic should be there and Dogecoin should not.
I reckon that you should make your basis for useful clear.

Yeah i would like to know why you excluded DASH but included DOGE as well. Also Zcash & Stratis missing. At least you got Bitshares in It's pretty obvious. Dogecoin serves as the meme king of cryptocurrency. It's kind of a big deal. Dash is overvalued as shit and there's a lot of evidence to support dev team or some other major entity is artificially pumping trading volume. ZCash is just shitty, centralized, not actually anon Monero. Metal was flavor of the month a month or two ago. Don't actually know what stratis does tbh I like such "constructive" post. This is shitty, that is shit, i have no facts to proove that, bump my topic. List not really valid for me since no explaination is added. |

Thanks for your replies! So, what do we have so far: 1. Bitcoin was the 1st crypto 2. It's most secure because of its hashrate 3. It's the most popular crypto Are these really advantages? I don't think so. Basically Bitcoin is just the #1 crypto by popularity, resulting in better security. As soon as the technology itself gets more attention from companies and the masses of private People, other Projects will gain in popularity, too. When this happens, technical advantage and usability is worth much more. You missed one (extremely!) important point. The first mover advantage.
Bitcoin is here for the longest time. It has proven to stand a lot of attacks. Look at the last pump/dump of BCH/BTC.
This obviously was an attempt to "attack" bitcoin and make money out of BCH. Market manipulation at its finest.
And BTC took this attempt pretty calm. Its no longer that vulnerable to such dumps/manipulations.
The "better projects" you mentioned wouln't stand against such an attack. They would get pumped and dumped to almost zero afterwards.
Whales (like in recent btc/bch dumps) could (pretty easily) destroy such projects which don't have such a big userbase and trust.
BTC has the biggest userbase and the most trust. It established itself in the crypto market (which can't be said about most of those shitcoins altcoins).
Edit: Just noticed the "technical"-tag. Technically there probably is no real (big) advantage over other coins. But technical advantage is not what makes a crypto currency
accepted and trustworthy. the technical part is important.. but don't underestimate the psychological effects.
Is it an advantage that Bitcoin has been here for the longest time? Or only an achievement? I guess last. It could be any other coin that would have been there first. Also, the rise of Bitcoin itself is somehow market manipulation since it's only used to make money and not a real product (it's not used as what it's intended to be). The psychological effects you mean will blur out the older the technology gets and when people start to actually USE cryptos instead of just trading them. |

because, according to him, about 80% of all available bitcoins are circulating in exchanges and financial markets, and are never truly used in any other industry, meaning they only serve investors He is totally right with that - it's a fact. If blockchain technologies get mass adopted it will not be bitcoin that will be used. Why should it? There are far better projects with lower transaction fees & time, less mining or even no mining, much more anonymity and so on. Bitcoin will always remain a speculative bubble and if we're lucky, it will stay the "gold" of cryptos. Nothing more or less. |

I use about 50% of my funds ( ~ 2,000$) for daytrading, rest is being hold for the long term.
As stated before, you can't really set a daily goal or somethink like that. I don't stick to a single coin but try to divide it into 2-4. I buy in a dip and sell at about + 5-10%. It is highly depending on the current market situation of the coin. But 1% daily is achievable. I started with around 500$ back in June.

Sorry to inform you that i don't have to put a tread on me.
YOU should be the one explaining his skills and defining himself, not me.
But still you end up in unimportant little things.
Additionally, i think i don't have to explain why it's not safer to trade with higher volumes. I will make it easy for you: The more you have, the more you can lose.

i can't stop laughing. So guys all don't do drugs hm? So you don't eat sugar, nor drink coffee / energy drinks or repeat any funny activity that you did before (what is some kind of addiction since you're addicted to the "good feeling" - serotonine and dopamine). After all, all drugs do is pouring out your available supply of happiness hormones. You're welcome. #enlightenYourSoul BBbbbut coffee is legal!1 and so is alcohol but it's the most dangerous drug. Heroine was legal and treated as medicine in the 1930s. .. but i like your sarcasm  |

I don't fully understand your question? I need more fund because instead of making a trade for 2000, i can make a trade for 20,000. or even 200,000. more money = less risk.
I am a cross-market trader. with 9 years of experience
also, i will let Phillip speak for himself but he has invested 4 btc and his current ballance is 5.27719 btc in less than 2 weeks
I will sum up for you. 1. "More Money = less risk" - Best joke i heard so far. And that after 9 years of "experience". 2. "..invested 4 BTC and has now 5.2 BTC in 2 weeks" - so not even with your "main" bankroll you make 1.2 BTC (lets say it's 7500$) in 2 weeks. But you need more? (oh forgot that more money = less risk) No one should fall for this. |

And after bitcoin, there lot new project has better improvement in term of technology. Bitcoin algo very costly in term of electricity and network....
But in term of value, bitcoin become most higher value because it was 1st cryptocurrency with log adopters....previous project mostly failed
So there nothing really special in bitcoin technology....not new innovation or something amazing. For programmer and database engineer, this not big thing...but bitcoin make this concept popular among non tech people...
And it sound big and lot of people trow money on blockchain project...Bank system etc. It because decision maker aware with this concept, thank to bitcoin and ask tech people to implement this. Nothing new
Thanks for your words. That's exactly what i mean - bitcoin is only hyped. (what is ok since it brings the whole market forward) Still i'm excited if ANYBODY can show me a real benefit of bitcoin... (and i really mean BITCOIN, not blockchain technology itself) |

I will also go in with 100$ to 200$. Bitconnect, Regal and Hextra already proved that this might be a good investment for the short term.
