If you are going to be storing good amount of ETH and tokens that you cannot afford to lose, invest in hardware wallets.
They are easy to understand and easy to adhere to security best practices.

With hardware wallet, Trezor and Ledger have one of the best reputation in the industry, you can continue to use the apps you love - myetherwallet, mycrypto, metamask, etc. when interacting with Ethereum network. It is just that you can be sure that the private keys are stored away from the computer drive.

Now I am sure if you are into cryptocurrency, ETH is not the only thing you have in mind.
Trezor and Ledger allows you to easily keep other coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and the other crypto secure as well.

177 days to go to next halving. Time flies, it will come before we know it!

When making investment, it all depends on your risk appetite.
It is always advisable to diversify and do not put all your eggs in one basket.

On the side note, when investing in real estate, you may consider a REIT.
REIT in short are publicly tradable stocks of a management firm that manages properties (ie. malls, factories, schools, etc.)
A good option to consider if you are starting small

Yeah, best to contact their customer support and give them a few working days to respond. Hopefully you will see the ETC showing up on your account soon.

Hi Coingecko!
Please check https://www.finexbox.com
buy-sell data.
80% of the data is false.
Actual trading is about 20% of the reported data
FINEBOX is a scam with trading data.
I tried to trade with more coins, but I couldn't sell anything.
I didn't buy my cheapest offer, but according to the data, I always bought my bids, but not from me.
It's SCAM!

Finebox scam. I had sent some ETC to my Finebox account, but coins not displayed on my account.  I was contacted through customer support email and after 24 hours they replied that node is on maintenance. No idea how soon it will be available. No any information about  maintenance on website. My advice is to do not use Finebox. Did you had same bad Finebox experience?

Yup we noticed it too and have issued a fix. The situation is now resolved. Thanks for reporting

For the second day the API shows incorrect price for a currency against itself. Here's an example with Bitcoin right now:
Unless I'm missing something, it should always be equal to 1. This also affects other currencies, and the same happens with price changes.

Hello! We're CoinGecko.com. Crypto data aggregator since 2014.

We've recent published another Quarterly Report for Quarter 3 2019.



In this 53 page report, we explain what's new in the cryptocurrency space. Q3 does feel like the "autumn" that comes after crypto summer.



On the other hand, the crypto industry is experiencing rapid growth in the derivatives sector. There was a 300% increase in the number of derivatives exchanges tracked, from 6 exchanges to 17 exchanges. Even Binance, the largest spot exchange by trading volume, is also now involved in the derivatives market.



With the aim of creating a more efficient money market, DeFi has seen strong growth in the types of applications coming on board. Within the span of one year, the amount of ether locked in smart contracts to power DeFi has tripled to approximately 2.9 million.

]

The Report also talks about Trust Score, an algorithm we launched in May 2019 to provide additional insights into crypto exchanges’ real liquidity through order book and web traffic analysis. We developed Trust Score 2.0, which incorporates additional metrics and is bucketed into 5 major categories: Liquidity, API Technical Coverage, Scale of Operations, Cryptocurrency Reserves, and Regulatory Compliance.



Feel free to take a look at this new report and let us know what you think. Download the full report.

Hello CoinGecko!

How can I provide you with news about our cryptocurrency?

Sincerely.

Yes, we are playing an active role in the Invest Asia conference in Singapore. Come by and meet the CoinGecko team!

Invest Asia 2019 will be held on September 11-12, 2019, CoinGecko will host sixteen cryptocurrency projects. Changelog stage is an excellent opportunity for all participants to share the most important updates with the development results

Cool, great to hear you developed a script to call CoinGecko data in Terminal!

Hello Gecko!

I use your API and I can see from the code-perspective, you are very nice, well-intentioned people. We *do* have to do some maths & thinking for developing an API interface, and I really had a great time in the last two months doing it for Gecko! The Web interface is great, too, I love the stylish Mascot and the colours... AND it is also great to grep results from the Terminal! I am very grateful for Gecko, we leave the data analysis for you guys!

The strong Economics background of the Founders gives me plenty confidence about data quality. I really had to come in and say how greatly appreciated your hard work is!

Now, for the Community, if you guys use Bash, you may want to check this Script i wrote for getting all sorts of currency conversion rates (even for central bank currency rates) from Gecko.

My GitHub repo ( mountaineerbr ): https://github.com/mountaineerbr/markets
Look for 'cgk.sh' and run it with "-h" for Help lines. But basically, the syntax for
getting rates is as follows:
Code:
#Officially supported markets/pairs:
$ cgk.sh btc cad              #One Bitcoin in Canadian Dollars
$ cgk.sh 1000 xrp btc         #One thousand Ripples in Bitcoin
#Central Bank currency rates:
$ cgk.sh -b 1 usd jpy         #One US Dollar in Japanese Yen
# Summary Crypto Market Cap Stats:
$ cgk.sh -m

It is Free Software under the GPL. You also need cURL and jq to run it properly.
Hopefully it is useful for some people!
Cheers!

Ethereum 107% up and XRP 28% up... I  guess XRP did too good the months before so it would run out of gas at some point, but this is still so unfair!

Ethereum gets more useless the higher its price gets since its main selling point are the DAPPS, but I've felt the results of its last pump... players wanted to sell their NFTs for Ethereum in a FOMO panic and no one wanted to buy them by spending their rising ETH.
This alongside the rising gas fees and eventually the Ethereum's use-case was ruined for many days until the price started to fall again.

On the other hand, XRP partnerships with MoneyGram and its use-case is as a store of value and a medium of transfer, an increase in value and/or transactions doesn't create problems for XRP.

Yet it seems people prefered to invest in Ethereum instead of XRP. I'm getting tired of the dump people in this space, driven by FOMO, FUD and following the general opinion without researching anything.

Yeah the dumps are happening on a more consistent basis unfortunately  Sad
Just today BTC has now dumped to below $10,000 again

Hello everyone, did you guys see that CoinGecko has recently published our Q2 crypto report?



This 46 page PDF contains all the info that you would like to know about events in Q2. It was a phenomenal quarter where we finally came out of crypto winter!



In this report, we looked into the Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) market. The IEO trend continued to grow throughout Q2, peaking in April with 34 IEOs and $109.9 million raised in a single month. A total of $262 million was raised via IEOs in the first half of 2019. However, only 50% of IEOs were traded above their IEO price by the end of June 2019.



We also took a look at Facebook's launch of Libra and condense their whitepaper into easy to understand points.



Do have a read and let us know what you think about it. Download the full report here.

Lately I've been in search of a good portfolio tracker, maybe CoinGecko could decide on making one? I believe we miss a good app that does everything.

  • Coinlib has a good interface and all the info I need really, but it's not mobile-friendly and they haven't update anything over half a year now. It makes me wonder if they'll keep their service up in the future.
  • Blockfolio has a nice exchange integration and a good flow of news from the coins I follow, but it misses so many important features (I can't easily view my portfolio distribution in a visual graph, I can't see how much profit/loss I have for each asset without opening each asset individually and going deep in their menus, etc).
  • G.E.M. has the best interface and portfolio presentation, but it won't allow me to edit the entries from exchanges. The portfolio tracker can't know if a withdraw from an exchange has sent the coins in my wallet or if it was a payment to someone else.

With your professionalism, I hope you are intresting in creating something that can have all the good points of those apps with hopefully none of their issues ! Wink

We are looking at creating a portfolio soon. Hopefully when it is ready, it will be good as per your expectations!

Anyone has a good alternative for Coingecko?
There are wayy too many ads and trackers for social media.
All the ads are also pretty annoying and some of the ads on Coingecko are scams. I dont trust sites that promote scams.
This site literally made me download an adblocker and even then some ads still show..  Roll Eyes

Have been using CoinGecko for quite a while now, while they do have ads most of them are rather un-intrusive and it helps CoinGecko keep their services free for all of us to use. Did you know that they also have free API for everyone to use? I bet all that takes up quite a bit of money, but definitely enabled many development across the cryptosphere!

I'm more than happy to support them by having a few ads pop up on my screen. Afterall, I only look at the prices for at most a minute and I don't click on the ads. Can't hurt Smiley

Indeed thank you for the support and pointing out the obvious! Our server bills are high so the ads help pay to keep the site and API free Smiley

Its promotion and you see its one. So normal user dont click promotion.

coingecko is a real fair service , fast and informative. It also has Discord Bot. And main is they support smaller coins and exchanges.

Its 100x better then CMC

Thank you for the support! We appreciate your trust in us and we will continue working hard to further improve CoinGecko!
