XMR will probably continue be used for quite some time on the darknet.

The only other coin I'm bullish on when it comes to longevity in the magnitude of years is GAME. It's still a relatively small and new coin, but it has all the variables needed to potentially garner sustained useage in the long run. It has a clear, concrete, and obtainable goal, an invested community, and interested 3rd parties that are looking to incorporate GameCredits into their non-crypto affairs.

Didn't Bittrex just get hacked like a couple months ago?? The unfortunate fact of the matter is no centralized exchange should be trusted. It's a shitty situation because there aren't great alternatives to storing off of exchanges without losing the convenience and accessibility associated with holding coins on exchanges.

A coin is dead when nobody memes about it. That's all altcoins are- memes. If a coin no longer inspires some banter from time to time somewhere in the world, it's donezo. The exception to this rule is if people are actually using the coin for stuff (basically only applies to Bitcoin for a lot of stuff and XMR for drugs).

Stopped reading after here. The fact that Reddcoin just celebrated its 3rd birthday is proof enough not to invest. Shitcoins have a short life span, and 3 years is way past its expiration date. Reddcoin is stale, old, musty. No thanks.

Skip the ICO bullshit

Put .67 in GameCredits and .33 in Pepecash. At the end of the year at the latest (and probably much, much sooner) that 1 BTC is going to be worth 5 or so.

After the shit Poloniex pulled with PascalCoin and all the dirty things Yobit openly engages in, I think it's time for a DEX to take up a prominent share of the crypto exchange market. If any project steps up to tackle the issue, I'll certainly indulge.

Poloniex is perhaps the most influential entity as far as altcoins go. Simply put, any coin that gets listed by it WILL explode in volume and marketcap. The only way not to be effected by such a phenomenon is not to participate in newly listed coins. Pumping and dumping only works so long as a fool on the other end buys what you sell.

A general rule of thumb for altcoins I like to follow is that if it's not called "Bitcoin" and it doesn't explicitly advertise itself as a shitcoin then it's not legit. So no- Spoutcoin isn't legit.

Wanted to give you guys an update: the newest issue of MemeInsider was released. Unfortunately, there were some oversight issues and design dropped the ball on getting my article presentable in time for the release. However, I just got done talking to the head editor of the magazine, and he said they're expecting to publish my article as a standalone Flash Release on Monday, maybe sooner.

If you don't mind, I'd like to share a bit of unsolicited advice-

Don't trade altcoins solely as long term investments. If you're going to do this, at least include Bitcoin for a large portion of your portfolio. The fact of the matter is, on average, altcoins overtime will depreciate in value to nill. In general, they just aren't good long term investments to make. Beyond this, comparatively large or well known altcoins don't have the same explosion factor as the unknown shitcoins, but they both have the potential to die.

What I would suggest (and what many people seem to do here) is to start out with a small amount on Yobit or Poloniex and just play around for a while until you get a good grasp on the market as a whole. Once you've familiarized yourself with a number of coins, you can put larger amounts into coins you are personally bullish on- coins that have missions or communities you actually believe in. On top of this, you can do some day trading if you'd like.

Not so much any more, but back in June-August of last year Rubies was fucking phenomenal for me. It had low volume so I was only trading in increments of .03-.05 BTC, but the volatility on that coin was fucking incredible. I'd be buying at 1200sats and selling at 1800sats a few times a week. So much easy money, I really miss how the coin used to be. It's too stable now

I'm not upset with this vote, but for future reference, where can I be made aware of and participate in such votes? Is it all in this thread? I will admit I hadn't been keeping up with the project for several months, but this is the first time I heard of this vote. I wish I had participated in it.

My portfolio that I plan on hodling for at least a good part of 2017 consists of the following: GameCredits, PepeCash, Elastic, YoviCoin, and Bitcoin

GameCredits is the one I'm most excited about. I think it has a high floor and a very, very high ceiling to explode into in the near future. PepeCash is the king of shitcoins, in my opinion. You can trade fucking pepes with it. Once that idea gains traction it's going to explode, too. Elastic was ICO I'm very happy about right now. Yovi is the one coin I wouldn't recommend- I bought in early and I've made 140x profit on it already, but it's too late to buy in to now.

And of course there's Bitcoin, I think 2017 could be another good year for the king of the cryptos.

There are a few factors that can lead to the change in the price of an altcoin: A big one is manipulation- a centralized group working maliciously to change the price of a coin to fit their desires. Another one is announcements- when altcoins make big decisions, people react by buying and selling. Sometimes other coins effect prices- Bitcoin is a big factor, as it's by far the biggest indicator of the state of the overall crypto market. Smaller coins that are complements or substitutes will effect the prices of other coins they hold these relationships too. Trolls can change public opinion of coins. Devs can run with the money. False information/panic can spread. Hype effects price. World affairs can effect certain coins (boom of Political MemeCoins due to 2016 election cycle). Prominent individuals or groups referring to coins can change the price. These are just a few examples, and there are many more.

TL;DR anything and everything effects the price of shitcoins.

Go into the YOVI exchange tab, look at sell orders, and scroll down until you see a blue line. Blue lines indicate breaks in the sell orders, which is where you can put your coins for sale. You can only sell .01 worth per order, and you can only have 2 orders at a time. So basically you scroll down until there is an opening and put up 2 orders. You'll have to scroll down for a bit and it will take a while to fill, but overtime, prices will eventually make it up to your orders and they'll fill. Rinse and repeat after your orders are called.

These numbers don't seem right? I got just north of 9k XEL for .05 BTC deposit.... based on average ICO price this is now worth close to 2 BTC? I don't think that can be right lol

Lmao if you know what you're getting into it's a pretty nice investment. I popped down 1mBTC into it when it first launched, and since holding it, I've been paid back .14 BTC. Definitely not a bad ROI if you ask me, and I still have plenty of YOVI left.

Hey everyone, I'd just like to make a quick announcement:

I talked to a few of you yesterday in the Telegram group. I'm a writer for MemeInsider, a digital magazine dedicated to memes, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people on Reddit (but a dedicated website for the Insider is coming out soon). For this issue, I decided to write a full featured article on rarepepewallet.com and Pepecash. You can check out our first issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/comments/5fxpq6/meme_insider_first_issue_release_shitposting_gone/

If our readers like the concept, there is a good chance we could see many new faces soon

This is too bad... didn't put any money into it but signed up for the sig campaign since it was set up in such a way that legendary members were going to get paid stupidly more than everyone else. Oh well, I suppose its much worse for those who invested significant amounts. Quite a bit of money was raised here.
