There are great doubts about this but I think it is probable but unlikely. Bitcoin is trusted.
Ethereum doesn't have that much transaction or wealth saving value too. So I don't know.

Seriously? A legendary member who's been here as long as you thinks this way?  Huh

ETH has 81 billion dollars of traction, the second on market cap size.  Not to mention non-competing coins.
6402  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Ethereum Replace Bitcoin? on: March 06, 2018, 01:28:00 PM
no matter how many times you and thousands of other newbie "accounts" ask this question, it won't come true and the value of the bags you hold won't go up because of it. you will make more profit if you sit down and pray to the pumping gods to pump ETH for you sooner so you can dump your little bag and make a little profit while the whales of it make millions from your naivete.

Or better advice would be to inform the newbie that the two are non-competing coins and that this isn't even a debate we should be having.  We could intelligently debate which coin has more upside sure.  ETH has potential and writing all Alts off isn't smart investing. 
6403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the safest investment between ETH and NEO? Other low risk coins? on: March 06, 2018, 01:17:30 PM
Both are safe to invest. NEO has a lot room to grow this year we may see it. We may look into Monero, NEM, VEN imo every has potential.
Did you use any metrics to determine which of them are likely to grow? I'd like to know how I can know whether a coin has a great potential for growth.

Do homework.  Stop being lazy.  Asking someone who said they both are "safe to invest" is probably not a wise move to say the least.
6404  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the safest investment between ETH and NEO? Other low risk coins? on: March 06, 2018, 01:09:34 PM
The only piece of advice you should cherish from this thread is one telling you there's no such thing as a safe cryptocurrency investment.  Bitcoin wasn't even intended to be an investment!  Traditional assets first , make sure your retirement is on track, and with the extra spending money buy cryptocurrency (if you've done your homework and believe in the tech).  Right now if you're looking for most stability with highest upside potential then Bitcoin, not Alts.  

 ETH love it or hate is easily the second most "stable" benefiting heavily from early mover advantage, Coinbase, and sexy sounding smart contracts.  That could change in 6 months, a year ...who knows.

The coin holo looks like many scratches in the picture.

Very well could be the lighting/glare ?  Or air-tite scratches.
6406  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Is Coinbase a safe wallet ? on: March 06, 2018, 09:45:40 AM
Coinbase is a very scummy company.  Never trust coins there.  I used them as a newbie and used to go in to "frozen coins mode" all the time.  Prob have gotten better, doubt their morality has though.
I use Coinbase on a daily basis, and can pretty much confirm that as long as you don't need to seek any sort of email support, their service works flawlessly, and is basically the best out there.

I am not verified at Coinbase at all, and haven't faced a single obstacle preventing me from doing what I want to do. As long as you stay away from anything related to fiat, there isn't much to worry about at all.

I mainly use Coinbase's centralized ecosystem to distribute small payments to people's Coinbase accounts for free and instantly, but in some cases withdraw Bitcoin to external addresses as well.

I can definitely say that their withdrawal fees are insanely low right now, so there is nothing unfair or scummy about Coinbase. For actual usage it's a great option, but if you just want to store coins, offline storage is the best option.
I am also never faced any problems with coinbase wallet and they have a good option that we can transfer our bitcoins without any transaction fee into the other coinbase wallets.But the fee is little bit high when compared to blockchain wallet.But it is not good to use coinbase as a wallet we may store little bit of bitcoin but for the people who are keeping coinbase as a wallet is in great danger on losing their funds to hackers.
Huge fee when sending is one of the reasons why I am not using coinbase anymore and you can't request to backup your private keys, unlike the other wallet. And it is non-segwit support.

That is why it's not safe for us to save a large amount of bitcoin in coinbase because if the site is down or gone forever we can't recover our wallet in the future in other wallets and if there are bitcoin fork again we can't redeem them unless if they support it, but it takes a month before they announce that they are supporting it.

So, I stay using electrum wallet instead and now with the Segwit support that reduces the transaction size and fee compare to Coinbase.

That is what I'm using mainly for hot wallets and agree it is VERY good compared to others..but not for long term storage.  Then Trezor. Lastly paper.  All 3 are the way to go. I was speaking in terms of mid-long term storage. 
6407  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Is Coinbase a safe wallet ? on: March 06, 2018, 09:40:14 AM
Trezor/Paperwallet the end.
Ledger nano s / desktop too are safe too use.
Never trust coins there. 
In any exchange, no one should trust their unless they are going to get it immediately and withdraw most of the funds there.
I used them as a newbie and used to go in to "frozen coins mode" all the time. 
I used them once but I didn't pursue using them and their customers and newly registered customers are increasing. Just don't store in any exchange if no plan of withdrawing.

Ledger is utter garbage tech.  I can't speak for Blue (which one reliable source told me they were highly let down) but Nano is crap.  It's platform of apps and what not,  is just all very much lacking.  They are also connected to "man in the middle attack" and when Trezor is so much better than why buy one?  I'm not saying it's not safe when used properly but it's not a good piece of tech (it reminds me of my YakBak and TalkBoy).  Paper-wallets are best, but hard for most people to learn how to make the RIGHT way.

Still looking for just a few coins to use to be loaded on a cold storage piece. Will obviously pay a premium in BTC, ETH or LTC. Thx

In 2017 47% of ICO investments failed.
This is not bad for me at least more then 50% is legit and people who invested in them gaining their profits.


So everyone who invested in the 50% that didn't die...made profits?  Sweet!  But false.

Investing in the crypto world isn't that much different investing in the "real" world, they all follow fundamental rules.

1. Every investment comes with risk, no matter how certain you are.
2. With point 1 being said, do your research. Research the teams of the ICOs you are interested in, read their white papers, have at least basic understanding of the crypto world and see if you have faith in the products that the ICOs are bringing to the table. The more detail you have, the lower the potential risk you need to endure.
3. Once you have done your research and are aware of the uncontrollable potential risk, know that the higher the risk, the higher the reward. So, are you a safe player or do you have the financial freedom to "go big or go home"?








your points are legit. All ICOs are not a scam, some of them are. Same as with kickstarter campaigns or any other new projects outside the crypto industry. Find a good project and you will be happy investor.

US Gov bonds are virtually risk free.  Unless we go to war and most of us die or something close to..maybe then they default (1 example).  You guys are misguided.  99% of the ICO's are all idea based.  Flashy, sexy sounding wording etc etc...but in reality most are a pipe dream.  I'f you aren't making something happen soon..people will dump your coin.  I've read nearly half of last year's ICO's are essentially dead.  Bitcoin is the only GOOD bet in crypto right now...period.  

Higher the risk..higher the reward does not apply to ICO's and that doesn't even make a lick of sense here.  Well...Bitconnect supporters said the same thing for a while...they were KINDA right...until they lost all their money to the FIRST exit scam BCC pulled.  They are all equally massively risky and if one is riskier than another than it's a bad project.
