I like ICO even more during this down market.  Your funds is locked in the ICO while the market crashes so theres nothing to worry about cause you can't really do anything.  This gives time for market to rebound.

sit there, hang tight and have a beer.

66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which are your top 5 coins for HODL? on: January 09, 2018, 10:19:53 PM
1. ICX
2. TAU
3. NULS
4. ETH
5. AION

2018 will be the year of the blockchain platform tokens.

Crypto cards will be interesting as well to bring crypto to the masses.   CTR
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do I need to sell all alts? on: January 04, 2018, 05:12:56 PM
BTC is only a storage of value, but many altcoins are coming up with solutions that benefit the world and can be used on a daily basis.  Alts aren't going anywhere, stick with alts.
68  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best exchange for beginner? on: January 04, 2018, 05:10:43 PM
Binance is best, easy to use interface and  has many coins and gets new coins relatively fast.
Coinbase is always a must as they will insure your funds from network hack.
69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple on Coinbase? on: January 03, 2018, 09:35:55 PM
Ripple is #2 now, so it makes sense for coinbase to add them.
70  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: VERGE what is happening on: January 02, 2018, 08:30:35 PM
Maybe money going from verge to other privacy coins?

Check out Xspec, the ONLY coin with in-wallet TOR OBSF4 for anonymous transactions in TOR blocked countries.  100M marketcap vs 2B marketcap for verge, so lot more room to grow.

ico definitely have the highest risk and highest rewards!  Look carefully for them.

This is one great news for cryptocurrency. Centra in its innovation has taken another step towards the improvement in the usage of cryptocurrency. But not only centra many other altcoins have also the same idea as centra. Sooner or later we can drink coffee and eat in a restaurant all over the world using our digital currencies.

I agree, its great news for the crypto community in general.  Like the current credit and debit card market I think multiple brands can coexist and it will bring more awareness. 
73  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Video of buying IphoneX with Bitcoin in Store! Even grandma can use bitcoin now! on: December 25, 2017, 05:32:55 AM
This is a good signal. It is hoped that these goods will be able to support more virtual currency payments in the coming 2018. If DOGE can pay that is perfect, I have a lot of DOGE coin! Grin

Yes, centra has community votes for the next token to be added.  Qtum and Bitcoin cash won it for January.  I'm not sure how many tokens they plan to add each month.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Video of buying IphoneX with Bitcoin in Store! Even grandma can use bitcoin now! on: December 25, 2017, 04:55:19 AM
i admit i don't fully know how they operate but i know that picture is a "Centra Black" prepaid card. so the user have already paid for it and has his balances with the company. right?
you also have to sign up with all your personal information to get the card and the price of it is 100,000 CTR which is worth $2.4 per token now.

To get a Centra Black card it requires you to hold a certain amount of CTR in the wallet for 6 months to 12 months.  The CTR is completely yours.  But once the time is up you can do what ever you want with that 100K CTR and the Black card is yours forever.  The black is the highest Tier, you can pick a centra blue without that big hold.  

Note, you cannot spend that 100K CTR for the lock period.  If you want to spend crypto, you need to add additional btc, eth, ctr that you want to spend in your wallet.

this isnt how it works.. lol..

you buy crypto, you pay property tax on it..
then when you cash out, you pay income tax on it..
also if you switch from bitcoin to say zcash, you are basically cashing out and rebuying..

even if its done internally.. you better be keeping track for the irs.. :/


I'm not giving any tax advice and don't know about how taxes should work on crypto.  This just giving options to use your crypto.  And as i mentioned it brings more awareness to crypto itself.
76  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Video of buying IphoneX with Bitcoin in Store! Even grandma can use bitcoin now! on: December 25, 2017, 04:39:20 AM
Is this an ad for Zcash? God, how can the transaction cost be so high, and it costs $12? It's almost 3% of the commodity price, which is not acceptable!

You are looking at it wrong.  The beer itself cost $12.  What was paid was 0.02459 Zcash
77  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Video of buying IphoneX with Bitcoin in Store! Even grandma can use bitcoin now! on: December 25, 2017, 04:17:33 AM
you do realize that every transaction you make with this card that is used for cash is a taxable event.. this means as you are spending bitcoin or whatever altcoin you are using, you are giving the IRS tax twice.. once for property gains, and once because you converted it to cash.. :/

Sorry, I don't know how taxes work in your country.  This is just giving options on how you can use your crypto.  This still brings awareness to crypto in general.
78  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Video of buying IphoneX with Bitcoin in Store! Even grandma can use bitcoin now! on: December 25, 2017, 04:09:23 AM
as other pointed out already this is not using bitcoin, this is using a third party and going through fiat route to spend cryptocurrencies that you do not even own, you own an account with them (the bank-like service) and they allow you to use it.

besides, using bitcoin has never been hard. you use something like your phone which almost everyone owns one and scan a QR and click OK and payment is complete!
understanding how bitcoin works have always been hard, and since bitcoin is new (not like fiat) everyone feels like they have to understand it fully before they start using it.

The crypto currency is completely yours.  The wallet itself is similar to Jaxx wallet or Exodus wallet and your crypto is kept with in.  And like how Exodus uses shapshift to switch your crypt, the centra wallet switches it to fiat.  A bank is not holding your crypto.

And what high fees are you talking about? That was a few days ago when the network was under attack with spam tx.

I apologize, I only used $50-$75 because the poster above used the number.  What I was meaning to say is no matter what the transaction fee is, you don't have to pay it cause crypto never leaves the blockchain.

Scam. Your post is false. You're converting the bitcoin to fiat, aka you're not buying a Iphone X with bitcoin, you're buying it with Fiat...which makes absolutely no sense to use a a middle man to buy a phone, when a average person can just go buy a phone with fiat- no bitcoin conversion evolved(which makes it much easier..)

Its all in the eye of the beholder.  Say if you gave a crypto debit card to your family member or your coworker (that didn't know about crypto) and they purchased something and saw crypto deducted from their wallet.  They would go tell all their friends that they just used crypto.  This is how you build crypto awareness.  This is how you increase overall crypto marketcap.  Its good for crypto sir.
