Coingecko has been doing a good job at providing ALOT of information related to alternate cryptocurrencies. It seems like the handful of other sites that are similar, like coinwarz and coinmarketcap, just haven't put in the effort to support everyone's interest. Mind you, they have provided valuable information for both miners and investors. Bias choices have easily been made based on this information.

While miners have constantly used these sites precisely looking for the current most profitable coin to dump on an exchange, investors look to support a coin by increasing it's market cap in order to gain more attention and ranks which will later increase only their profits until they cash in. If the miners aren't dumping their new alts on an exchange to turn out a wee-bit of profits, then they are simply an enthusiast who is collecting with high hopes of someday cashing in for even bigger profits at the expense of others.

I think the mentality needs to change when thinking about alts, particularly when it comes to usability, functionality and overall sustainability. Most importantly, one should ensure the coin they look to support doesn't have a group of anonymous developers who are only interested in counterfeiting coins for a short time and who have nothing else better to do with their lives and their time.

Now I'll mention Fastcoin, because it works, it's stable, it's been around almost two years and has been able to withstand multiple attempts of attack all while holding it's own weight. It hasn't needed huge publicity, nor has it needed a bootstrapped, high flutin' flashy website that appeals to those looking for eye candy. It's just a super fast coin with a good re-targeting algorithm and true to it's name.

I think 25 million Point of Sale terminals given the ability to accept Bitcoin is kinda exciting.

I doubt that bitcoin can go to $500 - $600 this year although I really hope so. Bitcoin prices just like other commodity or Fiat follow the same basic principal...Supply and Demand.  Whenever there are more buyers than sellers the price will always goes up. Basic principle of economics.

"Coinbase’s founders say they have been working for five months to win licenses from state financial regulators. They have regulatory approval in half of U.S. states, including large population centers like New York and California"

Why do you think Andreas Antonopolous left that big pile of scum called the Bitcoin Foundation?

Too many bad actors and shady characters involved in that figurehead group.  Karpeles, Brock Pierce, Shrem, etc...

It's a good thing that Bitcoin is decentralized, and they have no control or say over the currency or protocol.

The Bitcoin Foundation doesn't represent Bitcoin.

End of thread.

i hopes it will touch 10k usd later . let see and wait the miracle happened

One day facebook will end up just like myspace, but BTC is here to stay, folks.

Cool idea, but 'ChangeTip?'  Really? That was really the best name they could come up with? I know non english speaking Nigerians that could come up with a better, more fitting name than that.

Not all are scam.
Check NakamotoDark

A scam is a scam at any price. I want no part of it.
