If bitcoin dies, then the entire cryptocurrency market will disappear. In my opinion, it should be. If bitcoin is 0, all tokens should be 0.
Disagree. Currently bitcoin has nearly no use besides being an exchange for alts. Alts such as Ethereum, Monero and others have some use. I can see them surviving if btc dies. if you think that then it means you have never used any of these coins apart from buying/selling them on exchanges, or probably you have no idea how these cryptocurrencies work. and you chose the worst two coins for your examples. if you chose anything else it would have been harder to argue, but when it comes to these two it is easy because they both have proven scaling issues worse than bitcoin. in other words if 10% of bitcoin users start using any of these coins the backlog that will be created on them will the exact same scenario that is currently going on with bitcoin: high fees and slow confirmations. ETH isn’t a bad example. I’m not saying it won’t be replaced by a better Alt like say ADA that does not have the scaling issue, should be faster etc etc. Smart Contracts are in fact the perfect example of how Alts can be completely different from BTC and have lasting power regardless of BTC. |

For me it's not gonna happen but hypothetically if bitcoin dies, I think all other crypto will also die. People may doubt to trust other altcoins because they may think that what has happened to bitcoin may also happen to altcoin so they will not try to invest on it.
Do you even know how any crypto-coin works besides BTC? Have you heard of the Blockchain? Let’s start there. |

So many dumb posts here, people pick up a book and read! . Altcoins that are 1)different than BTC & 2) Solve real world problems.. have a life span potential just as long as BTCs. Two prime examples-IOTA and Ethereum. Neither are Bitcoin rivals first. Second IOTA is geared towards only the IoT sector and has already made major movement in the space and has been brought on by major firms in the space. ETH has smart contracts that could revolutionize parts of the financial and legal industry (think escrow on Blockchain).
These guys could very well be around forever. Blockchain is bigger than BTC and people seem to forget that so easily. So to say BTC would bring them all to dust, is plain ignorant.

I hope for the sake of people who parked their bitcoins there, that part 2 of this act isn't "oops, we lost your bitcoins, too, sorry about that."
But that sad truth is they were likely using new investor bitcoins to pay off old investors ... seems like we've been down that road before.
Someone who understands a ponzi! It seems like they want to hodl on to what little legitimacy they have by their “re-structure” of website. I hope all goes well but have little doubt millions in BTC are long gone by the no names “leadership” at BCC. |

My previous posts are littered trying to warn people. I don’t take any gratification over this. I wouldn’t be shocked to still see people supporting BCC. Let’s make one thing clear, they didn’t shut down because they knew how to do something NO ONE else could and it was “too good”. It was always a ponzi. Read more people.

Bitcoin is not anonymous and is often described as “pseudo anonymous”. One of the most famous examples of how Bitcoin is NOT anonymous is that of Silk Road. Many believed at the time that this new Bitcoin thing was untraceable and therefore a perfect means of payments for illegal items. As history now shows law enforcement was able to learn how to trace Bitcoin payments using the open sourced blockchain as their guide. This is an important fact as many Bitcoin pundits will argue that its an anonymous payment system used mainly for illegal activities. Now there are ways to mix your bitcoin address and essentially become anonymous but that’s a whole other story.

How much again for the big BTC?

Everyone here seems to like it but its a shit coin according to coinmarketcap?
Do they really call it a "shit coin" ?? What does that even mean? Just because a coin is not in the top 20 coins doesn't mean it's shit coin.... There are plenty of coins out there that have real-use cases and technologies that are different/better than the blue-chip coins... VIA FTW  It can be looked at the same way as a stock sold on the NY stock exchange. Every stock has to start somewhere and many start off with low valuations & under the radar. Not to mention cryptocurrency is in its infancy and with so many now it can be difficult for the best to instantly rise to the top. MJ also points out an important fact and that is Bitcoin isn’t the only game in town and other successful Alts (that aren’t meant as a BTCreplacement and solve real world problems) are good for the health and future of BTC. I would recommend taking a look at the Alts section here on btalk as you can learn more there than in collectibles. |

Double the silver, + a poster + much more scarce + design has been a pain to mint.
First things first, the coin looks truly amazing. Haven't seen such a nice design in a while, so I totally get that it was a pain to mint. However, I do not care for the poster (as it currently looks). Would it be possible to purchase the coin without it and get some kind of discount on the coin itself? Take away the poster and drop to $150 and I will bite bro Love the coin, have been a big fan of your Coins for some time now! This coin is beautiful, love the detail in the design and the whole thought behind it. It’s great to see coins made outside the norm! However it’s hard to justify purchasing 1 Oz of silver at that cost. If it were half like krogo said, I’d be in! |

One of the best ways to research whether something is worth purchasing is by using social media. That goes especially for investments. As a financial guy I always check social media and google trends before purchasing a stock /ICO etc. This can be a great way to gauge how much interest there is out there and if it looks as if interest is slowing down or speeding up. Highly recommend everyone uses google trends and social media!

I want them all, whats the highest bid??
ah! you're a little late here bud, they all sold out in an hour and rest 6 were auctioned which went for around 0.075 BTC per penny  Better luck next time OR just open a [WTB] thread and try to buy them from people who got some, maybe they will sell for some good amount Not late..In an auction user offered $20 dollars over spot for the 5 that were up for sale after the sell out. At the time it was significantly less than current bids. I’d have a hard time taking user seriously. Received mine yesterday BTC Penny and I’m in love!! I think I might sleep with her tonight   |

.006 BTCEnjoy Denver one of my favorite places to visit! The fact that Denver/CO has more sun per year than the state of FL is certainly helping that states population blow up like crazy! Maybe for some other things too, like not being stuck in a 1930’s way of thinking  . Good luck ! |

ANACS reminds me of Ford pre-2008. They looked boxy and were cheap and they suffered until they changed. LOL Chi! That is so true. And that is why we need one of our own to do our own grading. Before I became a Crypto coin collector I also collected stamps for 30 years. In the stamp collecting hobby we also have to main stamp certification services in the USA. The Philatelic Foundation and The American Philaelic Society. Two very important certification services. However they were not the only ones. You also had many individual persons highly respected in the stamp community that specialized in certain countries or area of Philately. Believe it or not, the established two sought out their advice when it came to certifying stamps that fell within their expertise The same can apply to us! We need one of our own who is highly respected in this forum and has the knowledge to start grading our coins. I will not mention names, but I have reached out to one that I can think can be the bearer of this torch! And I am sure many in this community have the same person in mind. I think we might be blazing our minds out trying to figure out who that might be Lol ..I have been spending all night trying to figure out who that person might be . My guy Krogo is always on point but I especially love this idea. Just throwing my 2 satoshis out there. |

every company must always make changes or innovations in order to survive the tight competition. The 4 most respected rating companies are PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG. This is a very tough competition every company will certainly change from time to time including ANACS. but all of them are needed in the market and each has a purpose.
It’s especially difficult for a company who refuses to listen to the exact market they cater to. It’s the poor mans grading service, and if not for crypto I’d own none at all. ANACS reminds me of Ford pre-2008. They looked boxy and were cheap and they suffered until they changed. |
