Eh, what is so bad about Japan lobbying for crypto regulation? Do not be blinded by thinking that all regulation is necessarily a bad thing. Look at Japan's history with what happened in Mt Gox. They felt terrible about it, and from there started the world's first government regulations. They did not ban crypto, they only wanted to make it regulated through exchanges. Licensed exchanges. Protection of client funds. Suspending exchanges recently. That is all good. Read what Japanese minister said, and you see what they want. |

In reply to the first responder: I think we have all cried so much at the quality of writing, with people not taking care to even do simple formatting. But you know, this psychologically appeals to people who are gullible so maybe the OP has something up his sleeve...
To the guy who said Bitcoin = Netscape and Blockchain X = Google. Even if it is true, remember that Netscape lives on in Mozilla.
PS: Nice to see we are all still a bunch of people ready to spout out cheap wisdom and attack each other for all we are worth!

Good to see that this thread has gained so much attention after only a couple of days. Signs that the Gulden community is strong is it not? I think we should all make peace with the fact that we believe and trust in this project, even if the discussions with developers do not seem to be going the way we feel it should. This is the price we pay for a coin whose future lies in the hands of decision makers. I hold Litecoin, which used also to be led by one person, of course he seemed more conducive to discussions but probably the community is very different from Gulden.

I think that the bubble in the original crypto money market was too big, so the collapse of the whole market bubble now, it's normal to have a big drop.
But I think the end of march will be the beginning of another bull market.
What makes you to think so? Many people said March is the month for bull run but it isn't till now. What I think now is we would face a mega bear run for 1 or 2 years like we did in 2013 - 2015. After this there might be another bull run just like 2017. People need to be prepared for worst case scenarios. This does look like it is going to be the case with every passing day and week, with every failed breakout and every lengthy stay below 10k. I guess I should be happy that this is happening. Maybe it will take the heat away from crypto. All the newbies will stop coming to look for fast wealth. I do pity the people who bought in at December and January, they must be just in tears now. But hey, patience is rewarded, so let us all just keep focused on building communities and usage. |

Hey man, that is standard practice for basic internet behavior. There is no company in the world who will ever ask you for your information, or ask you to log in from an email link. Just ignore any emails from any people. Binance is a huge target now, before it was MyEtherWallet. This is simply because they have all become too big and have too many users. 100,000 users and 1% success rate on scam means 1000 users!

In a simple way of looking at it, utility tokens are those that have an extra use, other than as trading, but the problem is, the product or service for utility tokens are very seldom available during or even long after the ICO. And when they are available, the uses are never as big as they are supposed to be. It would have to be an absolutely great idea for people to want to use it, and this is where utility tokens fail!

Yeah I am with you here. I HIGHLY doubt Litecoin will reach even $500 this year, but of course the long term target is a full thousand. But if any of this was to happen, it would do so first with Litecoin. NEO might one day overcome LTC, because it really does seem to be adopted well. And this is not because I think it is better, I guess the crypto world shows us that only usage is the power. Litecoin still is higher in this respect.

Not sure why you would think environmentally unsustainable mined coins will prove to be difficult with adoption, are not PoW coins like Bitcoin showing that it is successful? Besides, there is still much to prove about cost versus benefit. True that PoW mining costs are high, but people fail to understand the huge benefit that it brings. Security? Decentralization? Future way to pay and control funds?

That is about exactly my top 4 cryptocurrencies, except for Ethereum, which is something like a late entry into my portfolio and probably below my top 5 holdings in terms of portfolio percentage. It is accurate to say that no one knows where crypto will end up, life is still long and so many hurdles to overcome but I think anyone who holds this good mix of payment currency (Litecoin), anonymous coin (Monero) and platform coin (Ethereum) is about as "safe" as it can become. Bitcoin of course holds the fortune for everyone else.

This is quite nice to see a service coming from one of my homes! Singapore really looks like they are picking up on crypto and blockchain. Even seen a number of ICOs already launching out of there, and from neighbors Malaysia. Try posting this in the Services or Exchange sections, so you can sell yourself as a service. Or if trying to launch a token sale, put in Announcements section. Good luck, will be checking you out.

The most important outcomes of G-20 summit are going to be "just" press releases and general statements on hot topics. Do not expect extensive impact on price (either southern, or northern direction). Investors know that executive decisions made by governments matter, not talks and promises during the summit. Just wait, this will not be the trigger to fire up price rocket  True, nothing that comes out from big summit meetings like this are hard decisions, but you never know what kind of long-term sentiment can build from simple statements, especially if they come out from joint countries. We have both Japan and China there, if they somehow find a way to issue collaboration on regulations with Europe, there could be long term positive signals if they take on Japan's cue. The point of bitcoin is to not rely on third parties, specially bureaucratic nightmare institutions. We don't need the approval of "g-20 summit" or whatever the fuck that means. What we need is a strong algorithm, solid rules that everyone must follow, and these rules not being able to be changed at will. This is how bitcoin stays strong and that is what gives it value, not the approval of centralized institutions ran by crooks.
Also very true! But speculators can always find something in regulations, and we know already all the pressure from "crackdowns" have stunted Bitcoin growth so far. Crypto must grow strong on its own, for its future in 50 and 100 years. But for its present, we must get legitimization, even from the crooks that run the world. |

I do not feel like they are doing anything VERY different, there are lots of multi-blockchain or cross blockchain projects coming up, especially those working on atomic swaps and decentralized exchanges as a way of trustless interactions between competing blockchains. But BitPanda is a pretty decent service in itself. You hear all the scam accusations and support problems with many, but you do not get it with BitPanda. So maybe their ICO project might get a different sort of treatment?
You said it already, all those projects are still working on atomic swaps and decentralized exchange technology, but none of those projects really finalized the work. As long as that is the case competition can't hurt. The potential profits are enormous if one of them gets it right in a user friendly way. I suppose you are right after all. I still have yet to fully recover from some of my painful experiences with ICOs,,, one of them was even with a decentralized exchange, almost very similar to Pantos idea. It is not doing well and is very slow, but I will stick with them since I already rode so much losses. Pantos already has the big business from Bitpanda though, like I said. Like you said, more competition means more choices. I just hope it does not result in thin customer bases. |

If you ever needed one more reason to stay away from cloudmining, besides all the heaps of evidence you can find here on this forum and elsewhere on the Internet, then perhaps you should pay attention to the recent news from 2 days ago where the biggest cloud mining company of them all, Genesis, was asked to stop their operations in an American state.
It did not have much to do with fraud or anything, but because their business resembled securities. Stay away, no matter what, cloud mining is just bad news.

I agree with OP. I fully believe in openness at whatever the cost. Because if someone like me can read all of that and somehow still believe in Gulden, then it means the project has people who actually believe in it. I think for an alt like Gulden to have survived for so long and even rise somehow also shows that small but dedicated teams still can make a lot happen. I may never one day be able to use Gulden the way I would like to (until I access the markets in Europe). But that is a hope I like to keep.
All my coins I intend to hold and use properly. Gulden has what so many alts don't. A community that actually uses it!

Mt Gox sold the bitcoin for settle the funds worth of 400 million USD worth of bitcoins. Actually it affects more than 2000 USD in the market in last week but today again bitcoin started boom back again buddy. If you are waiting to invest your fund please put all your money on bitcoin and buy as you much can.
Since your reason is perfect. You may utilize this suggestion I gave here and invest on it. Great day mate.
When the news first came out, I thought it was ridiculous. I think most people with any sense of logic would say the same. But I guess we underestimate the illogical thinking of the masses. Even those who did not believe it probably sold a little, "just in case",,, and this leads to the same following from other people. Small sells become bigger, and then the effect is multiplied. But the good news? Even this type of massive sells only dents Bitcoin price temporarily. My question now is why on earth is Bitcoin affecting all the alts too? |

Thanks for the timely reminder! If I recall correctly, it was France and Germany who were pushing for joint policies from G20 countries on cryptocurrencies, but I have a feeling not everyone else will agree, not when they have more pressing matters to address. I do foresee at least a closed door meeting with French and German leaders, possibly with China and US representatives.
Japan would probably be invited to sit in and share, but they probably would not sit at the same table as China with crypto!

I am a small ETH holder here, and perhaps I should say that I was a long time saying I hated it and never could support it. I finally got a small part of it when it dropped to $800, happy I did so. I did not change my views on ETH, but I am also a practical person. ETH has shown its strength. It will dip like Bitcoin, but it will for sure return to old highs and higher. I may never hold it for more than many years, but it is not dead and for sure not close to dying. Just wait and see.
P.S. Did ETH not drop from $20 to $6 even? I seem to recall entering crypto exactly at that time, or maybe my memory serves me wrong.

I'm silently looking into hexx since the reborn ANN, and I feel everyday more confident about this coin.
Since then, a lot of work has been done and so many issues have been fixed. They were able to make a fork, update the core, implement masternodes, change the coin fund system and they actually succeded all this tasks in about two months (not to mention website, exxplorer, white paper...).
What I see now is a growing community focused on an ambitious plan: merging HXX with BTC, creating BTCX (with a 1:1 ratio airdrop). No need to explain how HUGE this could be...
Someone wrote that they don't have a product. According to me they are creating something that is really needed: a community driver, finally really private (zerocoin with the most reliable parameters), democratic (only CPU mineable), more scalable Bitcoin (2,5min x 4Mb block), with masternodes... This is light years ahead of the only one competitor (Bitcoin Private), and surely the first and only so far BTC fork that grab my attention.
I hope this community continue this great work as they did in this early stages... Stay focused guys and keep going!!!
PS: by the way, even if I agree with 99% of the original post, I think that owning 50% of the portfolio in an extremely low-cap like HXX is too risky, I will never suggest that... I strongly bealive that the only coin that deserves such treatment is BTC
I struggle to understand how these products on anonymous coins can be valued so highly at the moment. Just to say, I only hold Monero, and a little bit of Verge (purely speculative, I do not think it will last), and yes. I get that all the other anon coins are more private, more technologically superior, and all that, but it is pretty pointless until it is needed. I know! Get it cheap now and hold until it is needed two or three years later, but I prefer to stick to Monero - it already works, it can still catch up to the rest, it expands and improves as is needed, not as we think it may be needed. Bitcoin fork by the way, I just automatically dismiss them. |

By your own definition, not all ERC-20 tokens are shit,,, they need to be securities to not be shit right? To be honest, I have one ERC20 token that is precisely a security, or at least, when it started out it was supposed to work like one. Of course, if the company just disappeared, I would be left with zero, but they were supposed to distribute profits according to shares of tokens owned. Well, it almost happened, but then they had to change their tokens to utility instead of security, so I sort of got screwed over.
I do not like utility tokens, because they create the use, and none of it is "real".
