You probably won't lose any money if you buy here and now, but you shouldn't base the decision on pump tweets issued from a pseudonymous crypto handle

Yep, I think at 1000BTC, like so many of us, I would reckon that I have enough and can just focus on hoarding and some occasional trading to make ends meet

No idea which exchanges will pick Z-cash up, but given that anonymity is the core USP, would expect most buyers to want shapeshift or bitsquare to pick it up early. That said, slow mine start means there won't be much available for quite some time post-launch.

I would reckon that the average age has ticked up over the last few years to be somewhere in the 25 to 34 year old (urban, tech-savvy) range
I fall in that bracket myself

VP of Blockchain technologies is such a ponzi, bullshit artist designation that it is outright laughable!
These pointless circuses around private blockchain use cases are hilarious

I read somewhere on Twitter that they changed the 99% cold wallet approach in favour of the Bitgo solution in order to comply with US law. If true, how fucked up is that?

Rather than gamble with the winnings, I have found that trading alts is a better, more reliable way of making some extra coin if you have the confidence. This is a time of huge volatility, which is good for traders.

Yeah, hopefully this will push users to migrate trading action to truly decentralised exchanges like bitsquare or shapeshift to take out the middle man risk

I think ETC will eventually win. It's really a function of the hash rate. The economic activity will follow the hash rate, and devs will follow the miners and the econ activity. But not a foregone thing.

Hmm, if you are looking to trade ETC against BTC, it is a tougher call on direction to take given BTC's correction. ETC probably still a buy here, and completely agree that parity with ETH seems a given.

I think the ETC move is real, and that it's going to cross ETH in economic and dev activity and leave ETH for dead in the coming weeks. Immutability will thus become a core value prop for any public blockchain system.

I like the discovery and search function, but the actual selection is still extremely limited compared to Amazon or Ebay. Hope they are able to get more quality sellers onboarded soon.

Great ideas here. Anybody got an idea what the current status is with Augur, and what i have to do to get my hands on a few of those?
Thanks!

I am long ETC, and bought some more Lisk and Monero earlier today as they think they will both bounce back soon for 5 to 10% pop each

Well, I fully expect ETH and ETC to converge in price at around 0.01BTC.
Question is how soon this happens.

Steem is getting rogered here, and on bittrex at least I am only seeing sell orders at the moment. Think the market will keep sliding from here. What surprises me is that synereo (as the alternative) hasn't really risen

I am guessing the bears are targeting BTC on the back of the closed doors scaling meeting. See the market as well-supported in the high 500's, so don't see a huge slide beyond here

I think the market needed to correct a little, think the price will be well-supported at around $550 with pretty decent buying interest available below those levels

I don't see that happening. Any attempt by ETH miners to target ETC will reduce the security layer of ETH itself and open it up to retaliatory attacks. This helps nobody. I see more hard forks down the road, leading to a fragmentation of the Ethereum platform.

I am a buyer on weakness in the current market. I believe that we will see the $500 - $550 range again, and am ponying up my powder to buiy more if that level happens
