I think that Bitcoin can drop even lower with its scaling drama contination and fighting between core and BU. But uptrend is still intact and if the question of core and BU is resolved BTC should go up.

Finally, wallet sync is finished and it works perfect. Lets hope for some adoption in bigger exchanges as project is very promising and demand for Rai is growing.

I wish there will be altcoins to crossover with bitcoin. I wish ETH , XMR and DASH to compete with Bitcoin to have more option for people.

ETH token is not for a wide adoption as a method of payment. I'm not able to understand their idea of world supercomputer but I think the project is solid. From the point of view of technology ETH with its smart contracts is an interesting project to track and probably to buy a few tens of ETH.

XMR main feature is anonymity. It is like Bitcoin but with much higher degree of anonymous TX's. However, it is also not scalable as Bitcoin is, though I think they can fix it in the future.

DASH looks very promising and they have a lot of money for development.

But my favourite is NEM and people have just started to notice all the potential it has.
744  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Unlimited on: March 19, 2017, 01:26:17 PM
Relax Bitcoin is not going out anywhere soon despite hard-fork or whatever happens. Bitcoin also has a strong brand other cryptos don't have and will not anytime soon. I also don't expect BU to win over Core team. The battle continues because both sides have their own bias but after things settle we are going up. People just can't understand this because they're in a very altcoin euphoria.
745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NEM >>> DASH on: March 19, 2017, 01:05:45 PM
NEM has better scalability than Dash  and is more suitable for mainstream adoption, IMO. Regarding transaction speed - Dash instant is about 1 second and NEM ~ 6 sec. Though NEM block conf time is very fast - about 1 min (or less) and Dash ~ 2.5 min.
Just look a few good videos comparing in depth NEM and Dash characteristics:

Have to wonder now is dash going to >> in value per coins, as 1/2 the coins....
its sorta looking that way now....
among other things....the internecine warfare of BU v Segwit is killing it

ok let me ask you one thing only:
WHY NOW?

dash has been around from 2014 according to the ANN topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0) or maybe even more. so what has changed about it "today" after 3+ years that made it suddenly good and out of nowhere?!!

nothing about it is changed. neither the code nor the adoption.

do you even have any explanation apart from it being a pump and dump like always?

Just look at the timing. Have you ever seen a lot of FUD towards Bitcoin because of the low speed and cost of transactions? Agressive marketing of Dash and some very people who are not happy about BTC helped Dash reach the biggest altcoin bubble in crypto history. However, Dash is not suitable for worldwide adoption. It is not as fast as people are thinking.
747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HUUUGE CRASH COMING on: March 18, 2017, 09:00:44 PM
But the problem with fiat is if you try to save it for the future generations. For example, my parents worked about 45 years and what they saved now are worth a few thousand EUR.

Fiat is not meant to be a long term store of value, but a fluid means of payment.  
But if you think crypto is going to be a long term store of value, "for future generations", you are out of your mind.  
If you buy crypto so that it rises, it means you're counting on someone paying MORE for it than you did: a greater fool.  If most of the people buying crypto do this for that reason, this is a greater fool game, that stops when you run out of greater fools.  No expectation of greater fool any more, no incentive to buy.  No incentive to buy, no more price rise.  Big crash.  

Crypto is still new, there's a lot of greater fools to get to the game before you run out of it. So you can still hope not to be in the last layer.  But hoping that your grand children will still find greater fools, is crazy.


Yes, I think that our grandchildren will use crypto as store of value and as a payment method as well. Crypto are designed as inflation resistant, differently from the fiat. I think you don't see the whole picture - we don't need crypto as a payment method. If crypto is only designed as a payment method - it is in any way innovative. The best part of crypto is limited supply. You can't print it to infinity as central banks and governments are doing with fiat.
Speculation is to high today and it will stabilise in the future. You know that 99 (if not 100%) of todays projects will fail but new will arise. Much better than previous.

If you believe that fiat will survive while governments are pumping economy with new printed money (or new emission of digitized fiat) we only can see this as in Germany before WW2.



748  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HUUUGE CRASH COMING on: March 18, 2017, 08:33:42 PM
Do you think that fiat is safer with current inflation rates and unpredictable financial system that can crash any time?

Honestly ?  Yes.   Crypto has much higher inflation rates (if you count all new alt coins) ; politics will not let the financial system crash - they will steal people of all their assets (including bitcoin) before they allow that to happen.  Suppose that the financial system crashes.  What are you going to do with your bitcoin in the supermarket ?  Blocs are full.  Your transactions will need weeks to get through if you think that bitcoin is going to be a hedge.  By the time everything is back to normal (7 years later or so), you starved to death with your private keys on your USB stick.
What you need in those times are simple goods.  They cannot be obtained against bitcoin, ethereum or dash.  The guy selling food doesn't know these things exist, and if he would those systems would be entirely saturated.  


I don't agree with you. Why do you need to buy goods with crypto if you can do this with cash? Crypto aren't designed for everyday buy and sell operations primarily. For that purposes we are spending fiat. But the problem with fiat is if you try to save it for the future generations. For example, my parents worked about 45 years and what they saved now are worth a few thousand EUR. That is weird and that is because they saved in fiat and inflation ate almost everything. Ok, if you don't like crypto, go with precious metals, artworks etc. But I like crypto and I think it is a start of huge transformation of financial system and in humanity itself.

p.s. about inflation rates of fiat and crypto. Just looks at some charts of statistics and you will be surprised.
749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HUUUGE CRASH COMING on: March 18, 2017, 08:19:02 PM
Problem with Bitcoin is it hasn't grown in acceptance and usage it's just grown as a speculation. once people realize BTC is not a digital gold and that some other alt coin can replace it in a heartbeat it won't be a good store of value even.

That was predictable and I was talking about that many times. Just look at Bitcoin code and you will understand why. However, code is not static. You can write, rewrite it and create absolutely new system that is suitable for worldwide adoption. We don't know what will happen with BTC but if developers won't change things, it will evantually fail. But if they change, we have a new start.
750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HUUUGE CRASH COMING on: March 18, 2017, 08:16:08 PM
I think that most of you are dramatizing events too much. I agree that markets could be bearish for some time but money are not moving out of crypto, they are moving into crypto. Do you think that fiat is safer with current inflation rates and unpredictable financial system that can crash any time? I don't and if you're scared about what will happen just move everything you have to Tether, sit and watch markets moving.  
751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I have about 50$ where to invest ? on: March 18, 2017, 08:07:26 PM
Hello;

I'm new in bitcoin and like to start investing on it .. I have about 50$ and want a good company to invest on it ..

I made some searches but don't know where to start ..

Can anyone help me ?!

Thanks alot

I think that NEM is good investment if someone can afford only 50USD to put into crypto gambling. It is quite safe in regard of value in USD. It can climb this year to 0.07 cents per XEM.

Nice job and useful tool for traders. Thank you and good luck with further development. Retweeted!
753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 17, 2017, 01:04:28 PM
Looks like the Polo trading engine fucked up. Affected all the markets.

Ethereum is doing exceptionally well right now.
Monero new bottom seems to be above $20.
Dash will be above $80 for a while as it seems.

We were probably going up a little bit too fast anyway. It seems like some peeps were getting a bit too excited.

From here 0.018 looks like a reliable floor taking the 38.2% retracement from the wave: 0.009222 - 0.02349.

Target is still 0.036+.


It is normal reaction for XMR touching previous TOP area. It seems that second assault is coming and we also should expect some swinging but I, personally, anticipate that dump effect this time could be less evident.
754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation on: March 17, 2017, 12:59:47 PM
In my opinion no way to reach 1USD per XRP in near future. Though I'm not one of those who are sending Ripple to hell because they are bank oriented and banking friendly I have some doubts about their system (blockchain). It was tested and some bugs were found. It means that XRP transfers are in risk. However, they have money for development and can change the situation in the future.

Regarding the price I think that this year is not for Ripple. We can expect pump to 1000 satoshi area but I doubt about bigger rise.

Bitcoin is no longer suitable for micropayments. Instead of that Bitcoin sharks are proud of advocating that you can by Tesla with BTC and pay lower fees. Or you can send millions and pay a few dollars. 
756  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Mrai on a little exchange, will it go to a big one? on: March 17, 2017, 10:27:50 AM
Yes it will , but not in a short time. Still need a lot of the evidence for the project to get list on the biggest one such as poloniex as far as i know.

I agree with you. A lot of things should be done from development side (first of all stable wallet) after we can expect listing on Bittrex or Polo. But I don't care. I very like mrai and I bought a lot.
757  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 17, 2017, 10:24:25 AM
I expected dump on Monero but not as huge as we witnessed today. However, the rise was very volatile, so it is reasonable. Welcome to crypto madness.
758  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Zdash Private Secure Transactions [Equihash][Community Project] on: March 16, 2017, 06:01:03 PM
Could you guys explain me in short what are the main advantages of Zdash over the other privacy oriented coins/projects?
759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012 on: March 16, 2017, 05:21:31 PM
If somebody will revive this project it could be huge as it offers some degree of anonymity and the trend with crypto is privacy. I think that privacy is exactly the main reason why people are jumping in crypto. So, I'm not saying that Bytecoin project died but there is no active development. Somebody needs to do it.
760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM ALERT: = DASH PART 2 = (.><.) on: March 16, 2017, 03:50:23 PM
I remember people talking the same about Bitcoin when it went up. It is not to say that Dash or any other crypto is not a scam. It is about credibility of the project. BTC proved to be credible despite recent problems within the community. In regard to rise of Dash I think that the main reason of it is very expansive marketing. It gets attention and skyrockets.
