sadly Ripple is the opposit of what bitcoin is propagating.

DONT let banks and single institutions control this new form of money/decentralized contracts.

Its our chance to build something, that is not in the hands of corrupt politicians/bankers/influencers.

So all of you have the option. Choose....

intrested in the code as well. do you sell it?

if everyone could make fixed income, why isnt everyone making fixed income?
just trade and learn. life is about learning and taking steps. dont read all this nonsense.

1. technology interest.
AND
2. disgusted by banks

banks took money for nothing, gave bad advise (stocks before crash), took stupid high interest rates for credit/loans for righteous people.
even more disgusted by bank CEOs. if banks go down, we pay these ***** with our tax money again. they get bonus in millions, no matter if everything else crashes.


if i can do something to stop this corrupted finance branch, i will.
if i can help good technology survive and change our world, i will

buying an house as a goal. lets see...

sure, alts are playground, most have some interesting ideas. only few will survive. its a gamble...

hodl worked. hodl will work. until time ends.
problem is, how much time for hodl you have?

>>Segwit destruction will snowball.  One miner will figure out it is more profitable to skip verifying signatures.  Then two and three figure it out.

you forgot the risk, that a mined block is invalid. because nodes will check signatures and might not accept the mined block as a proper block.
even if a miner finds a block, but accidentally a non verified sig is inside, this block will not be the main chain.

the already low chance of finding a block will be accompanied by the risk of having found an invalid block.


Remember:
The sender shows the pubkey when spending from whatever address the bitcoins are in. As part of the verification, the receiver (actually, every node in the network), can verify that the pubkey hashes to the address given and then and only then verifies the signature
 

btc is the reference coin. the heartbeat. treated like an asset in many years to come.

but will it be the most used coin? well, the useability barriers need to be broken. it must feel like the "swipe" in mobile apps to pay/receive crypto payments.
whether it will be btc or eth/ltc/dash/monero... i cant tell. but ease of use and daily utility will define dominant coins.


 

btc rise till october. then sidewards.

big established companys buying into crypto is another winning signal.
they wont afford the risk and long time to build such a big central exchange and rather buy a running service.

wait another 3 month and we see more of such moves.

by spreading fake news, hiring fake posts/advertises, using downtimes of major exchanges (some) and on sametime excercising whale movements (pump/Dump) of big amounts of coins its possible to move price for a short time span.

in the long run it will take more money to manipulate ...
but short moves are enough to make money.

so...its possible to affect us. because we all are the market (and our trading bots).

only alts with unique community and advantages will survive. 60-80% of alts are doomed.
just pushed by ominous people .

so eth, monero, dash, iota, stratis might have a change....

UI screens available? optimized for which screen size/ratio?

buy bitcoin is a bet towards the future.
a) bet towards crypto in general
b) bet towards bitcoin as a usefull application/exchange asset   
c) bet towards increased usage/interest

build up your own mind, if this bet is worth the possible risks. most people tend to answer, only risk what you can afford to loose.

tworeasons:
a) stable block finding times. 10min in average as target.
b) rising security level, the more miners, the harder for a single entity to gain 50% hashpower

next pump is around the corner. bad news fade. new chances lure....

invest quick. last time chance to buy below 10k

specify what you mean? some software wallets are free, open source. you can do whatever you want with them without paying.

if developers stay engaged and neo is really becoming ether of asia. yes it can get top10.
