There's many hardforks happening.

I bet you can find one tracker on google or something.  But nowadays they aren't as good, the initial hype is over and most hardforks wont be worth much.
Yeah, I think airdrops are happening more often and providing more chances to win some money. Hardforks as well as airdrops dump people from time to time, but at least to participate in a legit airdrop one doesn't have to buy any coins, while for the fork one needs to have the coin which is to be forked.
I am against hard forks in general, because they create confusion about the coins and also put in danger their original versions (I guess). At least, airdrops don't possess threats to existing coins.
8082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can ADA and EOS marketcap be above NEO? on: March 13, 2018, 08:22:47 PM
I've done my research on the three platforms, and I got to say I don't understand much about these valuations. For me, it seems that NEO is currently ahead of these two, and also come out with a more ambitious vision (which they have started to execute) than ADA or EOS. They're also working on compliance for China, which is something no one else currently is doing to my knowledge. Considering how early ADA and EOS are, I think it's safe to say NEO is quite undervalued in the market with these prices.

Could someone please explain me how ADA or EOS are beating NEO currently in the market. Or should I just chalk it down to market irrationality?
I agree that NEO is a stronger project, even though those two are rather fine as well. Neo is kind of like eth with secure code, normal programming languages and a good team leader. But I don't understand why you are saying that eos and ada are beating it. Only cardano is, but I guess it's temporary. And the difference in coinmarketcap is very low. I am sure the strongest project will be scored higher eventually. It's just that ADA is having various events, being actively promoted, while neo is sort of around for quite some time with good reputation already.
8083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tell me where to sell coins on: March 13, 2018, 07:36:57 PM
By searching, I saw that AMLT token is on Lykke, however, there is a low volume. DEB on the other hand just got listed on KuCoin today. I suggest you to follow their ANN threads and/or social media accounts to be more updated about the coin or listings.

Hope it helps!


Reference(s)
AMLT - Lykke Listing Announcement
DEB - KuCoin Listing Announcement
OP, DEB is fine to be sold, Kucoin is quite a normal exchange (check out their fees first, though), but Lykke is not famous. I would suggest to wait till it appears on normal exchanges first or at least thoroughly study the terms of use.
Oh, and if these coins are based on eth and you hold them in eth wallet, make sure that you have some eth for gas as well (apart from the tokens), before deciding to transfer it anywhere. Good luck!
8084  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Etherium downturn today: trend or just short speculation? on: March 12, 2018, 01:10:17 PM
I see a lot of negativity about this coin las days. But, despite this, my faith in ETH is strong. I don't believe that this coin can depreciate. Most likely the price fell due to the general fall of the crypto market. ETH does not have a worthy replacement yet.
I agree that a worthy replacement is not there yet (even though neo is quite close and eos is also making its steps forward). Eth is still rather strong, but I also understand why people don't like it. With eth you can never be sure your money is safe and that you want wake up one day with your money eternally frozen, like all those people on parity.
As for the drop, though, I think it is very temporary and natural, as the whole market went down. I am sure we won't see eth going down more than to $600.
8085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Remarkable similarity between price charts of top-10 coins on: March 12, 2018, 12:21:19 PM
Just look and the chart of the last seven days on coinmarketcap:
https://imgur.com/a/zGaCI
It all looks pretty much the same, even though the coins are different and the news vary as well. Well, actually, I would say that it is the news with btc that rule the market now. The question is why the capitalization of different coins is so synchronized with bitcoin? They don't really depend on it, do they? About a year ago I was arguing with people who said that altcoins went up along with btc and always followed its patterns. That's not true. Even if you look at recent historical snapshots on coinmarketcap you would see that, for instance, when btc went rather rapidly down from $19k to $14k, bitcoin cash and ripple were going up pretty fast.
So why is everything depending so much on btc now?
8086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You should just CTRL+C and CTRL+V this portfolio. Without many words. on: March 12, 2018, 12:07:23 PM
Hell no to copying such a risky portfolio! Zilliqa might be quite all right, but others are not even close to be popular. As the market is still far from recover, I think now is great time for investment into top coins. It is safer than icos and it is really likely to bring good profit, as at least we already saw these coins reaching high prices, while now they are not down in the list of top coins, it is just that the whole market's down. Invest in btc, eth, ltc, xrp, monero, dash, iota and you'll probably get 3-5x profit within a year.
8087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All Alt Coins are a scam. on: March 12, 2018, 09:56:33 AM
Well this is what the insightful Tone Vays claims...

He claims that ETH, DASH, shit 99.5% of all the ALTS are scams and the only coin that will survive is Bitcoin.

So l guess we should all sell our Alts now!
Firstly, where are your proofs? Spreading fud based on nothing is not welcomed on this forum. Secondly, how much does one expert's opinion actually matters? I bet a lot of other people who are not worth than him would say the opposite. If he is so fond of btc - fine, but it has to be admitted that other coins made some major suggestions if not improvements, attracted a lot of attention to the market (there would be no crypto market without them) and showed the variety of things where blockchain has be of use.
8088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the way to understand scam ICO? on: March 09, 2018, 04:03:46 PM
We see many scam ICO bounties in the forum. But there is no way to understand what is Scam, which is not Scam. Is it possible to catch anything by following it?  Huh
Here's a list of things I would suggest to do to decide whether ico is a scammy one:
- check out their website, make sure it looks fine and has at least a whitepaper and team members with some info about them
- google the project to see the rates and reviews people might've already given to it
- check the scam accusations on bitcointalk
- if the project ran any kinds of bounties or campaigns before, make sure that they payed the participants
Finally, if you want to participate in an airdrop or something like this: never give anyone your private keys, passwords or send any money in advance.
I think these tips are pretty much enough to save one from most of scammy projects.
8089  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is taking babysteps on: March 09, 2018, 03:55:29 PM
Bitcoin is taking small baby steps to it's old level. Will Bitcoin reaches the $15,000 this year?
https://www.coinranker.net/cryptocurrency/bitcoin
Do you mean $19k or $6k by 'old level'? 'Cause people are predicting both for now.
I don't think it will go down much more. It is just unfair if it does. This stupid binance thing ruined btc's stable position around $11k. I am still sure we'll see btc more than $15k this year. If we look on the chart of the last month on coinmarketcap, the current drop looks like a normal fluctuation, though. That's why I suppose we'll see it back at $11k in about a week. It started moving up already.
8090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple UP and DOWN on: March 09, 2018, 03:40:14 PM
5% is nog much, but if you look at the chart Ripple is doing better than other coins. I have always believed that Ripple is a good investment for the longterm.
Ripple might be a good coin in terms of investment, because it is willing to work with banks. However, we must not forget two nuances about it. Firstly, investing in ripple might be profitable, but it is treason of crypto interests, because the coin is not decentralized. Secondly, as a consequence, ripple can be regulated by major companies and banks, which also makes it a risky investment. Why? Because banks are interested in stability of a coin, not its volatility, while the latter is essential for successful trading and perhaps for the long-term investment as well.
8091  Economy / Economics / Re: Working smart vs working hard on: March 09, 2018, 12:50:32 PM
Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.

So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?
This is an interesting question to discuss. Working smart is at least more pleasant than working hard and I believe that it is also generally more profitable. However, I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.
My opinion about these two things is that smart work works with the mind to use with little effort. While hard work works to use more time and extra effort for the same results. But in the modern era where internet is increasingly used for all activities I agree to work smarter in order to use a more productive time.

Smart working requires less time and less effort, but imo it's about physical effort being reduced, while it is perhaps even more exhausting for our mind, since on its work depends our success.

Soros bought a big share of Overstock which recently announced will change radically to become crypto-friendly.

Also,
Quote
Shares of Overstock went up over 200 percent in the last year after the company had announced plans to accept virtual coins in September.
not bad, huh?

Maybe he understood that every business that has to do with crypto is likely to make profit in the future , like Overstock did already.
 
IMO crypto is the future, and doesn't seem a bubble at all
That is very cool. I respect this guy for all the charity he did. He helped so many people. I am currently waiting for a decision about the MA program I applied to at the university he founded. Of course, staying out of the crypto sphere doesn't seem to wise, since it is a good opportunity to raise one's funds. But it's not just that. Soros is in favour of the open society and cryptocurrencies try to make economical affairs open for any people. I think he might even be ideologically in favour as well.
8093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC new trend on: March 08, 2018, 08:08:19 PM
Looks like bitcoin is at strong support and is ready to sky rocket from here, only if it can break 11700 and then 12000 resistance then bitcoin can be unstoppable, im still positive about it.
I hope you are right about that. At least I agree that graph predictions don't really work in this area, I don't think bitcoin will go down to $6k again soon.
I like the general attitude in this thread that btc will rise soon, even though for now it's been falling. If more people thought like that we could actually make it happen. The news for now are not very good, however. Except perhaps the fact of Arizone trying to pass a bill allowing people to pay taxes in bitcoin.
8094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The price of NANO is growing, what will happen next? on: March 08, 2018, 08:01:19 PM
The latest news about nano are rather positive and take the project seriously. NANO is quite a nice coin, trying to solve major problems and having a solid team, but I don't think that's enough for a coin's success. Moreover, for now no coin is good enough for people to believe in and stop making the market suffer. Nano is also almost 9% down currently. And I also don't understand why op says the last days were good for this coin, since it has been constantly going down for 4 days.
8095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Today downward trend in Top 10 Coins. on: March 07, 2018, 09:14:39 AM
I have observed today there is downward trend in top 10 coins today all going down,undergoing high fluctuations.Good time to invest in some Altcoins as price is low today.Market is still in correction phase and i think it will be recovered to an extent till Jun-2018.What you think?Huh
I also expect the market's recovery this summer. The time might be good to buy, but I am trough with investing in altcoins for now, since most of my investments are now like 50% down. I just earn btc instead and do my best not to sell any of it.
I think it will recover quicker than June. It is usually down at the beginning of the year as people recover their finances from Christmas and Chinese New Year. At the end of march the next bull run will begin. New pay check means more investment in coins
Well, a year ago the big pump started in January, so I don't think you're absolutely right on this matter. What is also important is that even this year started good. The real drop happened at the beginning of February. which is kind of late for recovering from Christmas if you ask me. As for Chinese New Year - nothing happened with the market at that time, even though people were speculating that something will.
8096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Birthday gift ideas: which 3 fun altcoins to choose? (Jesuscoin, Dogecoin ... ) on: March 07, 2018, 09:04:56 AM
Hey guys,

In need to pick 3 fun altcoins to give as a gift to my bro. Was thinking about Jesus Coin, DogeCoin and something else. What other fun coins are out there? Needed not for investment but only for kicks, gonna buy like 10$ each Smiley Please throw some ideas for i would be really grateful!
Do you mean fun coins as those which are like joke or have funny names? Doge is a very good choice. There others like 'useless ethereum token' and 'antibitcoin', but they are too low in terms of marketcap and espicially trading volume (like, 100 dollars trade volume). I would choose 'insane coin' and 'evil coin' together with doge. They are all available on Cryptopia. There's also an honorable mention: an altcoin which is called 'altcoin'. This one is also on cryptopia.
Good luck!
8097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 15 MARCH ! BTC will be affected or not ? on: March 06, 2018, 07:44:28 PM
if you dont have time read article
China the 15 march they might/will annonce future plans..

i am sure it will be affect to all cryptocurrency price and all depend on what they will announce, whether good future or bad of cryptocurrency.
as i know china is very big community of crypto and their decision would make different in this world.
At the same time, due to bad China news we had a drop which looked serious back in September, but wasn't as serious as the February Korean drop. I think we're done with reacting on the news, especially on exaggerated ones. It is said in the article that the icos are banned already. What else can happen? Banning btc? I don't think they'll go that far. And yet the article explicitly says that its content is based on rumors. I don't think we should take them seriously.
The market just can't go down even more.
8098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think about CLO? on: March 06, 2018, 07:35:39 PM
I have sold all my coins that I had on my balance to buy ETC to participate in recent Calypso's fork. Current price is 1,6$, what do you think - is it worth to hold it or better to exchange on some oldy like WAVES or any other like that?
The news about the coin are generally good (if we don't consider the fact of bittrex not supporting it), but what bothers me is that I can't find there official website, while it is essential for the project to have a good one.
Okay, I found their site, where it is said to be a temporary webpage, but anyway, I'll check it out. Callisto tries to make smart contracts secure, which is truly a problem with eth. If they succeed it will be a good coin. But where is their team? Why is it not shown to the public? This is a bit fishy imo.
8099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: eBTC will worth $10 this month on: March 06, 2018, 07:20:04 PM
This has no sense. The coin is $0.5 now and it has never been above $2. Also, it has really low marketcap as well as rather low trading volume. And there was already an issue with the coins before, which is why this one is the new version. The project has nice advertising and team, but I don't think it's enough.
The airdrop can even make the price lower, since people will receive the coin for free and probably try to sell it straightaway (which is not gonna be a problem, since it's listed and traded on a couple of exchanges already.
8100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's March. Where is the march of the altcoins? on: March 06, 2018, 07:09:53 PM
You are all hoping for another bull run to happen in early 2018, just like 2017.
Well, I'm willing to bet my $10.000 worth of crypto that it won't happen.
Instead, the total opposite will happen, a lot of altcoins are going to die. I hope none of you will commit suicide.
This is just fud. You are expressing your opinion, but where are the arguments? Is there any upcoming news on this matter? Some specialist's conclusion?
So far everything seems to be fine. Bitcoin went down a bit, but it managed to stay around $11k for 4 days, which it wasn't able to do before after the big drop. Bitcoin is rather stable for now, just like eth, ripple (a bit down) and litecoin (a bit up), if we look at the general tendency on the chart within the last month.
