I dont think bitcoin is under attack maybe the reasons why its because of heavy traffic or congestion. I also encountered this too long to be confirm in my wallet, blockchain problem that took 2days confirm in my wallet. I think its trhe volatility price of bitcoin that most encountered this problem.
The attack is the traffic, someone are doing a lot of microtx just for increase the traffic. I don't know who or why but it's real. For now, the best solution probably would be increase the blocksize..

Dead since 2 years ago? haha Litecoin will not die, there's a lot of mining power on LTC. Somehow for them it is profitable, so.. Spoiler: LTC will continue there, now let's check how it will perform with SegWit.

I wish that the people posted in 2015 in this thread talk about their experience with NXT in this time. I think NXT it's one of the most well developed projects richt now. And undervalued, of course

you also have think about the "Target". Why should be people interested in your coin? who should be this people? students? seniors? you need to answer that kind of questions first.

Most of your suggestions seems a bit exotic, but the last one is fine: to trade Forex with bitcoin. I am doing it and has proven to be a good way to increase my coins, perhaps it is even better than trading other altcoins.
Which broker do you use to do that? and what pairs? i'm interested on that, i used to do forex a couple years ago.

Who cares if Monero and Dash are scams when you can make good money on every pump and dump..This is endless lovely game of whales were once completely outsider can make really nice money. And imagine what he thinks about them?! I love Monero and Dash , and i hope one day i will say same and for Cloak coin! Exactly, whales are just watching for a hype or FUD to do some pump&dump or just a dump an then buy cheap. It's sooooo easy for them

ETH is a sleeping Giant .... that's where u should invest!
A sleeping Giant who will sleep forever, ETH is going to die. They just need another hardfork and that's it

I think both of them have potential and will have sucess with a good and responsible team. But if i have to chose, i will take Edgeless, 0% Edge is too attractive to gamblers, so hopefully they will loose their money on there

yep, there is an spam transactions attack right now. I don't want to sound crazy but i think that someone declared war on Bitcoin. I don't know who or why but we as a community have to do something. SegWit it's taking a while and lighting or BU seems to be a lost cause.

I use Bitcoin to avoid the foreign currency control in my country, also to save my purchasing power against the inflation (>600% in 2016). So everyone uses Bitcoins as they just need to use it, otherwise people just "use" bitcoin to make profit.

finally banks and other financial institutions had started to adopt bitcoin like system and make they are called blockchain or whatever i had for that. And I do have belive thatblockchain will be the major financial system within few years.
Yeah, but banks will do the possible to get Bitcoin out of the way. We can't let Bitcoin (or crypto currencies) disappear. The purpose of Bitcoin is to avoid banks, own our money!

I think that relaunch Dash it's make everything worse. What's the difference between relaunch and hardfork? ETH made a mess when they did the hardfork

Even with a trusted escrow, the developers (or big investors) will find the way of benefiting of the project. It's called pump&dump, they hype the project and when the value it's nice, dump!

Why u don't just sell in localbitcoins to your bank account and then go to an ATM? in my country selling in LB takes like 5 minutes, the real issue is when u go to the ATM

Think about things that can be de-centralized like a decentralized casino? decentralized Steam? i dont know. Think by yourself but repeat, don't do an ICO
|

Think as much as you want, study coins as much as you want bue PLEASE don't launch an ICO coin. Pleople are tired of that
ICO hating trend seems to be rising recently. But tell me, if people are so tired and annoyed by ICO then why we are still having ICO? Altcoin investors are voting with their money, their greed is fueling the ICO projects. They need to stop backing every new ICO just to earn quick buck, so ICO will stop appearing eventually, it is as simple as that. There are many investors who only invest to Hype the coin and then DUMP! everyone else lost

Agreed, also one of the purposes of Bitcoin is freedom, how you would pretend control traders to control the price? whats the difference against a central bank?

For now the Bitcoin wil not be a country's main currency but, it can be the main currency for you as an individual. For me, Bitcoin it's the main currency (because my local currency it's garbage), i save my money on bitcoin and do my monthly budget based on BTC. I compare the BTC->LocalCurrency Tx to going to a ATM to have some cash.

Do you know what speculation is? Markets are not about fairness, market is about profit and everyone wants to make profit. Keep that in mind.

So, what could be a short-term solutions? Me as a Bitcoin user i'm getting tired of the time. Right now i'm thinking about moving my BTC to an altcoin but i have a fear of a dump, Monero is the real option for me. What about you?
