They are trying to keep the review balanced but to me ledger is a clear winner.
I like the design better and it's made of metal so better materials as well.
Supports more cryptocurrencies.
Is cheaper.
These three things make it so much better!
4142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOPE FOR SHIT COIN on: March 22, 2019, 06:56:40 PM
There's a possibility of a shitcoin coming back if it gets bought by a new team that invests a lot of work and money and revives it.
Usually there are pumps by people wanting to make money. Pushing a worthless altcoin up by 100% is very easy and sometimes  they get to start a FOMO run and profit. Buying these coins is always a big risk even if you see a pump and some good news in the media.

Shitcoins shouldn't be illegal. Making something illegal is restricting people from being able to do what they are made to do: choose! We are sentient beings able to decide for ourselves and mistakes make us who we are. We learn from them and become smarter.

Shitcoin bring balance to the world of cryptocurrencies.

-Nouriel Roubini- the greatest economist who first called the end of Bitcoin, but everyday he still doesn't understand why his mission has been meaningless for over 10 years Cheesy

Who are you calling the greatest economist? Him? really?
He's a former advisor to the disgraced president Clinton, closely connected to the Federal Reserve and Bank of Israel. Do you really think someone like that would support financial freedom? The more debt you have the better for him.

One company accepting Bitcoin is good news but we will need so many to do the same that we won't be able to follow the news. Real adoption means companies adding bitcoin payments every day!

LOL, what a click-bait. Anyways, When Trump takes the Office, he surrounded himself with pro-crypto if I'm not mistaken, but it didn't influenced the way bitcoin or crypto in the years that Trump becames President. So I don't know if this will bring positive outcome if he successfully became the new President of United States. And before we forgot John Mcafee is also running as reported so that it mean a win-win situation for crypto enthusiast already?  Grin

Most coinidol articles are clickbaits. You're right Trump did a similar thing to gain support from young tech people. He appointed a bitcoin supporter Mick Mulvaney as chief of office or something and crypto sites were overhyping it. He didn't do much for crypto.

There's already a thread about Yang in this section.

Central banks are trying to put bitcoin in their definition of money and it doesn't work and will never work.
Their definition of money is stuck in the 20th century. We shouldn't worry about it and move on and the definitions will have to be changed in time. When people were travelling on horses and shooting bows there were many laws that later changed or became forgotten when they didn't do those things anymore.
4148  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the US dollar backed by oil?What do you think? on: March 20, 2019, 11:22:38 PM
The USD is backed by a mass printing machine which keeps churning out more dollars everytime they fall behind with their debt repayments. Bitcoin is a free economy so lets sere who has full control in later weeks.

It's also backed by large industry that makes many expensive things that end up all around the world. The reactors that blew up in Fukushima were made by a US company GE. They weren't faulty I'm just using this as an example. You may not know but you could be getting power from a US made reactor or water turbine right now and using a phone a car or a computer designed in the US.
4149  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum vs BitcoinCash Which will win? on: March 20, 2019, 10:59:11 PM
ETH has its use and purpose. It became a smart contract ICO launch pad and did something that was needed in the space. BCH is an unpopular clone of bitcoin and its price comes only from the name bitcoin and that bitmain invested a lot of money to push it to where it is now. It doesn't even compare.

What's the real use and purpose of BCH? There's almost no development being done on the platform.
4150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Is Going On In Crypto World Now ? on: March 20, 2019, 10:01:03 PM
It seems that the cryptocurrency market has reached the bottom. Daily trading volumes have grown, investors have become more interested in cryptocurrencies, market capitalization has increased. These events give hope for a gradual recovery of the market.

I don't get why so many people turn from very bearish to very bullish so fast. How can you think that the bottom is in if the TA doesn't say so? Do you maybe have a hunch?
We are at 4000 dollars and on February 23 we were at 4200 for a moment and went back down. Nothing proves that this won't happen again and even if there's still a long way to 5000.
4151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to recognize a good time to sell a coin? on: March 19, 2019, 08:44:31 PM
No matter how you received coins, for participation in bounty companies, trading, or for investing in a project. It makes no sense to sell your coins at cheaper ICO prices, this is my main thought.

And what would you tell to people who held such coins until they became delisted from exchanges? There are many coins like that and most of ICO projects never come back once they start tanking. A good example is BCH. I don't think it's going to ever go beyond the price it had in the peak of the bull market. Those who missed their chance of selling it high will never have it again.

Brave browser is already doing it.

I agree that being paid for watching ads is the future of Internet browsing. Some sites chose not to show full content if you have adblock enabled but it's a bad idea because some people will still choose to leave the site and look for information somewhere else. There are better ways.
4153  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2013-03-19] Bitcoin’s Share of Total Crypto Market Slips Back Toward 50% on: March 19, 2019, 07:38:42 PM
The quality of altcoins is improving at the top, especially tron, litecoin, and others that have continuous development. Bitcoin will still be at the top though, it is simply digital gold

It's not about quality but greed. Bitcoin isn't offering big profits anymore as it's becoming less volatile. Traders are all about volatility and pumps and dumps even when they are a bit too risky.

Why do you think shitcoins that have no real life use and not much of a community are still receiving investors. What draws the average Joe to Elastos or Kin when there are much better projects to choose from? A hope that somebody will pump these low market cap coins and allow them to make money.

Even if they managed to bullet proof mt gox would anyone actually put their bitcoins into it? Based on their name alone i wouldn't even send 1 dogecoin to that dump.

They wouldn't and this is the problem. Brock is stupid to think he can bring this dead horse back to life and ride into the sunset. It's not gonna happen!

People would maybe use it if we were back in 2014 and there would be not much competition but now most people are greeted by exchanges that show big volume and Mt. Gox shows a history of botting, hacks and losses.
4155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid losing money with bitcoins on: March 19, 2019, 06:55:08 PM
Why don't you first start using proper names. You aren't exchanging bitcoins to real money because bitcoin is also real. The term is fiat money or national currency. Bitcoin is more of an Internet currency or decentralized currency.
Choose an exchange that trades in your local currency. If you live in the EU it will be EUR, for a US citizen it will be USD. https://www.binance.com should suit your needs.
4156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are gambling altcoins undervalued? on: March 18, 2019, 11:50:50 PM
They aren't undervalued. They are unpopular for a reason. Nobody uses them because you can easily use any other coin. They don't give you any advantage and even make you more vulnerable because they are much more volatile and not widely accepted so it's actually harder to find services that will accept them. I'm not interested in using something like that.
4157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investors are coming back ! on: March 17, 2019, 10:54:03 PM
Are they really coming back? I know that some well known people stopped shorting and some wealthy investors said they are buying but this is a drop of water in a pool. To move the market we'll need much more than a few rich people. I like the enthusiasm but I won't start jumping and clapping until I see 5000 dollars broken.
4158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good News Entrepreneurs: Plattsburgh Finally Lifts its Ban on Crypto Mining on: March 17, 2019, 10:48:06 PM
If somebody is trying to protect the health of the citizens by banning bitcoin mining he must be insane and lack basic understanding of mining. How does your computer influence the health of your neighbor? How about 10 computers running at the same time? Maybe 100 will change something? It's not 100 microwave ovens or nuclear reactors it's 100 computers. A bitcoin miner works like a computer!
4159  Economy / Speculation / Re: ??? DECISION TIME FOR BITCOIN?!?! 4k or 3.5k?!?! ??? on: March 17, 2019, 09:39:47 PM
Yeah, 4k range seems to be the new norm for bitcoin. It went up to 4200 range couple weeks ago and even when it dropped it didn't dropped too further down this time, normally when it dropped it hit places like 3500 and a bit under that but this time around it was mostly staying above 3800 which means it didn't get away too far from 4000 range.

I wanted to buy a bit at around 3500 so I could sell when it eventually hits over 4000 again but couldn't get it since it didn't reached that low.

Hopefully we will see it go even higher because if we could find a way to stay around these levels it makes it easier to go higher, think about it which one is easier going from 3400 to 4200 or going from 4000 to 4500 ? One is about 800 dollar difference the other is just 500 and if we could manage that than we can break this cycle and finally go up.
]

Don't be so sure. If the rally fails and forms a new lower high below 4200 dollars it can go back to retest the lows. The down support is looking good because we are still forming higher lows but we need to break above the previous peaks to convince the bears that it's time they changed their strategy.
I'm still invested and waiting for a return above 5000 dollars which would suggest the final end of the bear market but 4000 is still a weak support and going above it doesn't mean anything. 5000 is what people are waiting for.
4160  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is Cheap Until April, We’ll Never See Price at $3,000 Again: Trader on: March 17, 2019, 09:29:11 PM
I also think this is the final bottom for bitcoin. I'm not saying we won't see a drop or a double bottom but it won't be something similar to that break below 5000 dollars followed by a panic selling. Bitcoin is looking strong especially now when stock prices are jumping up and down and wall street doom preachers are out predicting a big bear market.
