Not attaching any blame. You missed my " LOL ". I thought it was funny.

VPN means virtual private network so I guess it wasn't so private. I pay for a vpn service and have no privacy issues whatsoever.

The best investment option is cold storage.

Too many thieves, scammers, and hackers are out to get your btc.

Keeping 10 btc on an exchange for trading is hit and miss. Making money on the highs and lows is not as easy as it sounds. Then you always have the risk of the exchange getting "hacked" and losing your coins.

You are guaranteed to lose your btc trading altcoins, cloud mining, or gambling. Too many sharks and whales out there.

$10 or $1000. Either way is quite possible.

This is very true. Also people have lost interest in buying new scamcoins. Since the whales and developers cannot generate enough interest in the scam coin of the day, they moved to old coins which they were able to pick up at bargain basement prices over the last year or so.

I think we are seeing the decline of altcoins. I'm getting more notices from exchanges about delisted coins and some are the older coins.

Let's face it, altcoins are not moving towards real world usage. In fact, we hear very little about it from coin communities and developers. Even btc is struggling.

I'm sure there will be a some winners in the future but which will survive to become viable currencies is the million dollar question. Right now its looking grim.

Trading has become a joke and a good way to lose money for the less informed.

Good conversation. No need to yield. Your posts are not at all inflammatory. I agree with you 100%.

Trading altcoins today is gambling and contains a huge amount of risk. There was a time you could buy any coin and resell it a day later for profit. But then there were only 50 or so altcoins.

I don't trade much anymore.  I don't mind holding established coins like Vert and a couple others but I stay away from one-pump-wonders.

Whales rule any coin pump. Little fish can swim with them but have to be careful not to get swallowed.

Mint is obviously gaining traction from the action we are witnessing this year. I would not count on sub 10 sat prices anytime soon. Looks like its year of the Mintcoin.

Vert does not pump often but when it does; its EPIC.

How old is Vert? Year and half or so. Good, solid coin. No drama. No scam.

Sure glad I had a bag full. 

Bob shut down the vpn. I think it was something he was interested in and wanted to experiment with.

Buggers were downloading music and movies and got him into trouble I think. Nice fellow with a big heart for sure.

Dying is never pretty.

Lung cancer is nasty. The lungs fill with cancerous fluids till you can't breath anymore. A very very slow suffocation/drowning. Not so creepy or exotic as dying by snakebite but just as horrifying if you have to witness it.

I used his free VPN service for a bit. Got a nasty letter from the RIAA though. LOL.

"Just before I go".

I figured another no-brain comedy but no; this was a good watch.

Something has to survive the altcoin holocaust. Looks like the "oldies but goodies" are hanging in there.

There really isn't any profit to be made at this time. A lot of these coins were bought when bitcoin was 3 times the price so its still a losing proposition in the short term. A resurgence in btc price could/would breath life back into several altcoins.

Too many coins "here today and gone tomorrow" (with peoples' money). Mint is here forever and it looks like people are taking notice.

I want to say something when someone does not want me to say something.

Yawn.

Another day. Another scam.

Ditto!

Without you Mintcoin would have languished and faded away like so many others. Dedication and integrity are rare in the altcoin scene.

I heard John Hinckley, Jr. was up for parole. Now we got him.

I thought it was funny when the hashpeople ate up his bs in December. Now, its pure incredulity. This whole scam saga should have wrapped up months ago but somebody insists on throwing money away.
