In case you didn't know, there is also a bitcoinwhite. I believe all these forks are just to whittle tge price and value of Bitcoin core and at the same time make money for miners and devs. Disappointedly, I must tell you, Bitcoin has remained unperturbed and has continued on the bullish trend with all these distractions.

Exactly! This is the major reason most projects don't survive after ICOs. There are too many strange bed fellows coming together for a reason most of them don't even know except to get paid. How on earth do you gather people you really dont know and can't even vouch for as a developer?

You have got pieces of information here but your best bet would be to google the Internet and be ferocious in reading so you can have an in-depth understanding about this. You will even come across cryptocurrency trading videos on YouTube and others. It is a great venture that you seek to go into at this time. The world is on a digital pace and cryptocurrency is the digital currency.

You are damn right about the prevalence of lending coins this day. Personally I have bought into about four ICOs on this lending coins. It begins to fascinate me on why so many of the new coins are including lending in their programs. May be to scam?

I guess there is little countries with limited access to the Internet can benefit from the rave of the moment. cryptocurrency. No internet, no access to cryptos. It is as simple as that. I have heard of instances where some crypto enthusiasts have migrated to countries where they can enjoy internet access. The economic impact of cryptocurrency can not be emphasized. It builds GDP and uplifts the financial status of its holders.

What "god"? The fetish or the Deity?

Anyway, OP this is a very simple issue. I don't know what country you are from. But I do believe that there's a way for you to sell your cryptos from the comfort of your home. Get into telegram forums or WhatsApp groups, use escrows there and like the speed of lightning you will find those willing to buy. Again, going through localbitcoin may give you that unnecessary exposure which you seek to avoid because your bank account details will be linked to you.

I started here in this forum and my first ever Bitcoin was earned here. I remember that feeling of getting that payment all too well as I type this. It wasn't even from a signature campaign. It was from a task by an account user called Lening. I waw a Jnr then and that was worth 0.001 (about a dollar then).

Well, now I get most of my bitcoin through signature campaigns and trading. A few more have come through investment in ICOs too.

No! If you asked me I would tell you that now isn't a right time to invest. The bullish run has been on for a long time and it is only expected that a dip should occur to make for correction. Nobody should buy now. Wait awhile for that correction before investing.

In your line of choice, none beats litecoin. It has been having a good run lately. Its flexibility and usage are getting a lot of followers too. Also, considering that its transaction process is super fast. Go for litecoin if you will.

I know I have seen a similar thread like this but can't link it now. OP, since you want coins below $5 with potential, you can go for ripple, swisscoin, waves and Walton. Those coins have ability to give a good profit margin.

Changelly isn't a trading platform. It is a mere exchange where one cryptocurrency is converted to another. There is no buying and selling done there.

OP, notably Poloniex is your best bet although it isn't among the top 10 in terms of market cap as listed on the CMC. It is just that over the years it has shown transparency with its dealings among it subscribers and that is why many here are giving the site thumbs up. Coinexchange is good too for its easy use and numerous available coins.

Can't you guys just allow us enjoy this steady northern moment of the Bitcoin and its bullish run without creating any fear? At least, for once? OP, whenever that $7-8k dip happens don't be scared.  That would be a momentary correction. It shouldn't cause you any panic. It should signal to you to buy in. Buy more. Nothing is stopping the Bitcoin. It will continue to rise as more people are adopting it and popularity is growing.

The phase you talked about may not be necessarily correct with ICO being involved. Patronage of ICO will continue because it is a legitimate way through which companies and their start ups raise money. Yes, agreed that may ICOs are scams but that does not take away its importance from it. So, ICO continues to thrive.

That really isn't even where we expect cryptocurrency to be even though it is obviously a good sign. The coins are already enjoying the impact of good news lately. We are looking forward to 2018 and to a time where the total market cap for cryptos I'll be in trillions of dollars just like in forex trading. Cryptocurrency is the new money and has come to stay.

Of course this is a welcomed development but then it has been long awaited. Everyone knew it was going to happen especially with forex platforms brandishing some Cryptos. This news will further propel the bitcoin to hit a new height. Kudos all bitcoin holders.

Why the rush? You should know from experience of the previous forks that the tokens will eventually be distributed to all holders of Bitcoin core who had kept their coins in exchanges or wallets that supp the forks. So, easy man. Relax and you will get it effortlessly.

Manager, I guess this could be an error in the OP about this: ICO price of 1 grf:token is equivalent to 0.00262 BTC. I am thinking maybe there is an omission of a third zero before 2 because that would mean $22+ per coin?

OP, in the first place why get granny excited about this. Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is a hi-tech innovation that should be left to the jet age. Discussions around bitcoin is even confusing to many in thus generation let alone anyone from the 19th century.

Anyway, if you must get your grandpa involved in bitcoin, why not get him a simple thing as an offline wallet like electrum? That way granny gets to control his coins by keeping the secret seeds secret and secured.

Lol...Another bitcoin bashing, a failed attempt if you asked me. Believe me, most of these people bashing bitcoin still hold it in their wallet. So, bitcoin  becomes a bubble? Do you know how many companies that are queuing into the blockchain technology on daily basis? And you think  bitcoin and cryptocurrency will fizzle out? I doubt. Cryptocurrency is trying to square up with forex trading in market capitalization as it is now. It may even surpass forex by 2018.

Why are you been unnecessarily stupid by spreading FUD. You may want to check www.coinmarketcap.com and see the position of this coin you want to malign seriously. Perhaps, you aren't aware that bitconnect isn't the only crypto that is into a lending program too. Stop all this backbiting.
