61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Show me one TECHNICAL advantage of Bitcoin on: November 13, 2017, 02:06:09 PM
Especially in these P&D times people tend to claim that bitcoin is "the only one". The one coin that is "far better" than anything else. "No one can beat bitcoin"... and so on. For me, that's just blabla. I tolerate that the holders and early adpoters will always stick with it and will always promote it. But technically, there are far better products.

So, here is my question. In a technical way, what makes bitcoin special? / What makes it special compared to other blockchain projects?

A hint from my side; it CAN NOT be:

Transaction time
Transaction fees
Anonymity
Scalability

... because there are enough projects out there that are ahead of bitcoin when it comes to these points.

Thanks in advance!
62  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BCC going down fast as predicted Bitcoin started to gain on: November 13, 2017, 09:19:19 AM
Right now, Bitcoin is showing its strength by slowly going up within the range of $6,200 - $6,300 and this is a very decent movement considering the attack that is even happening right now. The cancellation of Segwit2x became the catalyst for the migration from Bitcoin to BitcoinCash and this whole episode should be telling us the need for Bitcoin to have a fork so it can scale itself and be able to handle such a barrage of transactions...I think this is the major issue that the whole Bitcoin community should start addressing head-on. Burying our heads in the sand is not anymore working and can be a big disadvantageous as we now have an official contended to the Bitcoin throne. We need an upgrade but if possible it should not be contentious fork but should be following the example of Ethereum where one interest is always prevailing and there is no big drama anytime a fork is done.
The answer is here, it's BCH.

...i think it's way too early to draw a resume. The trading volume the past days was decent and has to come back to "normal" again. What we saw was probably just the FOMO after Tom Zander's tweet. But since the BTC mempool is still so goddamn huge and the transaction fees are extremly high (i paid almost 10$ fee and had to wait almost 18 hours to confirm), i think BCC has a good chance to rise even more in market cap.

My prediction for the end of November: BTC @ 5500$ - BCC @2100$
It's impossible that BCH could not reach $2,100, or the world would be in a mess.Miners just choose the most profitable products to mine. If the S2X is successful, I think most will choose BTC instead of BCH.

Nothing is impossible in the crypto world. Yes, miners choose the most profitable coin - but they are a) not responsible for a high trading volume and growing price and b) are not the ones that actually use a coin. As soon as people start to recognize that there are better, cheaper and faster projects than bitcoin is, they will switch.

You can absolutetely achieve your goal. Daytrading is very profitable and so far i can't imagine something more profitable than this.
I started by the end of june with about 800$ of Investment - right now my portfolio is worth a bit more than 4000$.

Have fun trading & good luck with your strategies. I can only suggest you not to jump in P&D groups and avoid coins with low market cap. Try trading vs. tether for easier profits when BTC is rising.

I'm pretty sure Tom Zander is correct. Tbh, Bitcoin is not a good coin. It was the first and is hyped by media a lot. Technologically, Bitcoin Cash is way more valuable and i think People will start to realize it.
I have the same opinion. The transaction fees of BTC just suck. I'm excited to see what will happen in the next weeks and months.

That's why BCH rises:

68  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need your opinion, guys. on: November 11, 2017, 08:07:46 AM
I can hardly tell what's best now. Bitcoin Cash got a lot more Support now since the devs want to concentrate on it instead of Bitcoin Classic. They twittered it and claimed that Bitcoin Cash is going to overtake Bitcoin Classic in a while. This causes huge FOMO but is also reasonable.

I'm planning to rebalance BTC / BCH by 50/50.

Like come on people... you like the money it brings you

Some people talk as if they have emotion towards... A COIN?

I'm positive most of these people also have no clue what the project behind the coin (or token but I guess that's taking it one step further...)...

I'm by no means an expert!

Thursday morning rant.

Peace!

I say that it's the complete opposite. To be successful on the planet, you HAVE to LOVE anything. It doesn't really matter what, but love and hate are the strongest emotions on earth and gives the most power one can have (imagine the mother that lifts a car to save her child). Think about it  Smiley

Great idea, i will be watching this Project. If you need someone to test or review your product at any time, feel free to contact me.
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The most undervalues altcoins on: November 09, 2017, 12:08:24 PM
For me, These coins are most undervalued:

1. Vertcoin - finally did get some Attention the past weeks and the rise in volume is extraordinary
2. SHIFT - promising dev Team and product, keeping its price of 1$ for quite a time now
3. Waves and Stratis

I agree to those and want to add XEL Elastic and XLM Stellar Lumens. Both belong together and will moon by 2018!
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pump and dump? on: November 09, 2017, 10:11:32 AM
Just want to add that the devs aren't always reasonable for this. Big whales group up in channels from telegram or discor (for example) and determine when they will buy and sell. This causes high volatilaty and big profits for Trader.

Most P&D coins have a very low marketcap, try to avoid.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My first three days in day trading. on: November 09, 2017, 09:36:04 AM
Welcome to trading and grats on your efforts Smiley

Always diversify your Portfolio and try to kepp your bag hold as low as possible. Get your emotions out and Keep on doing your homework, and you will stay successful.
79  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading tips on: November 09, 2017, 09:05:31 AM
I can only recommend to..

- leave your emotions out of decisions
- do lots of Research
- diversify your Portfolio
- trading vs. tether is almost always easier than vs. btc since you can avoid the "risk" that btc price rises
80  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Altcoin Trading Platform ? on: November 09, 2017, 08:18:41 AM
I use bittrex and poloniex every day and am very pleased about them.
Ehterdelta is great for most ERC20 Tokens.

Also, i want to try out binance the next days since they get great Support from the communits.
Will let you guys know what my experiences were.
