It's all about the free market. People buy/sell coins and this causes the coin to increase/decrease in value.

Think of it like when you're going to your local farmer's market - if a lot of people have tomatoes to sell then the price of tomatoes is low but when only a few people sell tomatoes the price is high.

Also, another thing is that when it comes to altcoins, their price is linked to bitcoin's price (since the main way to buy them is through BTC) and these price fluctuations you see for BTC will be translated to the alcoins too.

There was a sharp spike yesterday after ETC was listed on Coinbase I see a 20% increase after everything settled down.

I'm not sure what would be a correct prediction for it but I hope it's going to break out of the bitcoin price limbo and we will see some increases that are not linked to the bitcoin price.

Thankfully, we saw that yesterday but it's been only one such event in a very long time.

I think you added an extra 0 there buddy Although, I would be willing to wait more than a night to see it double, just saying 

It's nice that ETC is getting some attention from the Coinbase listing but I would like to see a well organized marketing campaign to increase the attention for it.

Stiam ca ei folosesc mistertango dar nu am vrut sa mai cumpar prin ei. Daca e exact la fel si pe kraken/bitstamp de ce le-as plati lor un comision aiurea?

I-am folosit pana cand puteai sa platesti cu virament bancar in RON dar de cand au schimbat politica (sau au fost fortati sa o schimbe mai bine zis) am renuntat la ei.

I would go for IOST, DGB, XVG. These three have a lot of potential and I believe they will skyrocket in the next months

Also, I would go for IOTA & EOS these have good projects behind them and it's just a matter of time until the price for them will increase consistently.

Ok, mersi de info. Am incercat MISTERTANGO dar din cate vad, nu poti sa trimiti EURO unui alt cont bancar din cate vad, poti trimite doar unui alt cont MISTERTANGO.

Am incercat mai devreme sa trimit pe Kraken dar se pare ca de la 1 Mai nu mai poti sa adaugi Kraken ca si beneficiar

Sunt curios daca mai merge Bitstamp, ai incercat recent sa depui/retragi (dupa 1 Mai) ?

Care e cea mai buna metoda de a depune/retrage FIAT pe exchange-ul Kraken? (cele mai mici comisioane, rapiditate etc.)

Din cate vad accepta EURO prin Fidor & Blue Orange Bank (SEPA) si Fidor (transfer bancar) si ma gandeam sa folosesc Revolut pt a transfera bani (incarc Revolut cu RON, convertesc la EURO si transfer spre Kraken EURO)

Ce ar trebui sa aleg din lista asta a bancilor acceptate? SEPA sau transfer bancar?

Nu am mai folosit exchange-ul asta si as fi curios voi cum faceti? Stiu ca multi romani folosesc Kraken.

I appreciate the kind words

I'm adding a reference to an official statement saying it is ASIC resistant when new coins are added in or when users propose new coins. No proposed coins are added to the list until they get double checked by me.

Price is not relevant to this list since it's not equal to profitability that may interest miners. As you said, it won't be possible to maintain something like this due to volatility.

I could add the link to CoinMarketCap where you can find the exchanges but still this is something anyone can do easily.

Thanks for the other guys who proposed new coins, I will review and add them to the list if eligible.

The coins you're mining with ASICs may fork to implement ASIC resistance and you may end up in having a big loss as ASICs don't come cheap.

The gains are indeed higher for ASICs but the risks are higher too.

Don't forget that you should always invest as much as you're willing to loose. The crypto currency market is a very unpredictable market that can go up fast but can also go down fast.

The question you should be asking yourself is: Am I willing to loose $5k?

It's weird they seems to be treating this as gambling addiction. I don't think the two of them are anything alike.

Maybe they could be treating depression actually, this may be true if someone invests a large sum of money and then looses everything.

I've added in a new coin that has forked to implement ASIC resistance. It is called: FONERO (FNO) and it is a fork of Monero (XMR).

They're announced this in their announcement thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3109546.msg34310632#msg34310632

Do you have any other news on coins that may have forked?

If you ask me, I don't see bitcoin as the best investment opportunity if you're looking for major increases on your investments.

I would go for ETH, IOST, IOTA, EOS to name a few, these have a good perspective on increasing a lot over a time frame of a couple years.

If you don't care about large increases, and a steady increase over the years, then bitcoin is the right fit for you.

The stock analysis firm Trefis seems to have adjusted their predicted BTC price for the end of the year from $15,000 to $12,500.

I think this is one of the first realistic predictions of bitcoin I have seen on the market

Usually everybody either say BTC will be worthless or it will be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thanks a lot for the update! After 3 posts requesting a simple thing, I finally got what I was looking for.


This strategy of begging people on joining your discord will not get you far.

You're just annoying investors.

Most probably you joined when one 14 days period was about to end and continued to the next one. So, you have posts in both periods thus you are now at 28 activity.
You do imagine this metric is not calculated based on when a particular user joined BCT but is a general time frame for all of the members here. The current 14 day period started on June 5th and the next one will start on June 20th.

As activity is calculated based on a formula that takes the minimum between your post count and the time you were active, what probably happened was you were active but you did not have enough posts. So, your activity was determined by the number of posts you had at that point, afterwards you created more posts and the activity increased based on that.

Here's the formula as posted by theymos:

I hope this clears everything up

I not interested in joining any discord channels. I just want to move my coins to a wallet or to another exchange that supports it.

Why can't you provide something like that for people to know what to do with their coins?
Does that imply you don't have a wallet and that's the reason why you're trying to get people to stop posting here?

Da, probabil asta e logica lor. Daca vrei sa speli niste bani folosesti un terminal dinasta  

Ar fi interesant de vazut cand apar ATM-urile de pe care poti sa scoti direct FIAT, de cumparat se poate oriunde, de vandut e putin mai greu.

Glad to see you have included a lot of interesting articles here I appreciate the effort, merited!

I think you can also include posts from this forum as I believe this is the best resource for crypto currency on the web

The trend is looking good but this is still too early to tell if it will have any success since I see it was listed two days ago on coinmarketcap.com ...

Usually there's a fast high after the ICO but after a few months the coin usually goes under the ICO price and goes back on a bull trend if the team is actively working on it.

I've recently read some news saying that the real test for any crypto currency is if they survive after 1.5 years. So, you need to be patient.
