For me it was (and still is) Litecoin, which I bought below $50 overall, and today are almost $200. I did not sell when they were more than $350, but no regrets, it is a coin I have always loved.
I have had a few small tokens that achieved even x10, but they were so small in amount that I maybe had at most $40 or $50 dollars overall? After exchanging them the fees were even a big sum.
Dogecoin was my biggest surprise, when they were worth more than 1 cent each, I suddenly had a nice amount, but all my Dogecoins were given to me.

is it planned to organize the bookie a little bit more , like listing every league separated instead of keep scrolling looking for the event
your odds are really great and I'm sure if the bookie is more user friendly many will start betting there
also about MBI , is there any plan to add it for the site in the future or it will stay for dividends only ??
will the dividends include moneypot profits in the future ?? I bought some MBI after Theo taught me how to use waves exchange and planning to buy more in the future
I definitely agree. I am beginning to bet on Sports, especially soccer league but the page takes a really long time to load because everything is on 1 page. Maybe at least sort just by dates so we do not have to load everything. Sometimes I manage to load, and when I submit the bet, it becomes invalid (odds change I guess) so I have several attempts. Also, I have noticed two things. One, is that only if you bet 1 mBTC on Casino, it goes to VIP program. I was betting a lot with less amounts, and it does not count. Second, Sports bets also do not go to VIP, correct? That is a shame. I betted a lot on blackjack and got greedy just to see my VIP score go up, and lost a lot. Now redepositing:) |

Poloniex is a failing exchange - they have too many shitcoins and their support is over-taxed. Bittrex is providing better volume and seems to be more reliable (for now) Cross-posting from the ANN thread, McAfee partnered with this guy and he leaked his magic spreadsheet: https://twitter.com/noBScryptoTLDR; XVG is in the top 5 buy recommendations Magic spreadsheet leaked. If it was really magic, he would not have leaked it. I bet he wants it to leak so we can all buy in and make his prophecies come through. That is the real magic  I am a Monero holder, but I also now bought a little bit of Verge,,, yes I could not ignore how much people are talking about it. Thought I got it at a nice dip but since prices kept going lower, I guess I will add a tiny bit more and see what happens by April. Stop loss at 25%, profit taking at 25%. Medium risk I guess. |

Many people talking about the conflict between banks and cryptocurrencies, although there are some banks adopt crypto but still the issue continue that there is a big negative effect of banks because of crypto business. There are also speculation about future banks of cryptocurrencies, but until now I didn't see any building of crypto banks. But the reason why crypto affects banks businesses, it is because of the value also, but it is not the total problem, because the people earn money from crypto are also transact business into banks, which the money deposited are gain from crypto business. So for me, there is no reason that banks has a big economic negative impact because of crypto, but instead banks are also benifited from cryptocurrency business.
The conflict is there, whether or not banks will seem to be friendly towards it. Those that seem to accept Bitcoin only recognize it as a currency, but do not recognize that they cannot control it. Look at all the banks dipping into crypto and blockchain. They are developing private blockchains, and centralized crypto, not even necessarily open source. Not decentralized, not public. All against the spirit of crypto. This is the internal conflict. Like you said, I also do not see crypto banks happening even though several ICOs claim this. Reality is that, it cannot happen. |

Oh my gosh! Bitcoin is crashing! - Who has not heard that in the last few weeks?
Well, I am the "Glass is half-full" kinda guy. I see a Fire Sale of bitcoins, where they see a crash. Since December the price went down with almost 60% <Most people are dumping coins left, right and centre and everyone is running for the hills... The end of the world is coming!
Not me. ^smile^
I am like a kid in a Candy Store. If I had enough money, I would have bought all the sweets at the Fire Sale! ... not just that, I would have bought the shop, closed the doors and kept all the sweeties for myself.
Unfortunately, my funds are limited and I can only afford to buy the sweetest candy as my fiat income is paid weekly. <Yes, believe it or not, some of us still have to work to pay the bills>
A lot of people said, "I missed the boat, because I did not buy early enough." Well NOW is your chance. Get it whilst it is still HOT!
DO NOT buy on credit! Buy responsibly, like I do. Pay those bills, skip a few Mc Donald hamburgers and buy some bitcoins!
!!!See you at $20,000!!!
That is great advice, and something I keep telling my friends (who do not listen usually). Do not borrow, do not put off bills, do not put off some secure future. But for sure, put off movie night, put off the McDonalds, put off the new DVD game that you will waste hours on anyway. Put that into crypto (of course with research). I was also very happy with these last few weeks. I bought cheap coins that I could not afford before. Yes, some of them are actually in the red now, but I am not worrying. I did not get the lowest dip but I got the dip. Months from now, I will be glad. I am really hoping this continues for a long time more, so people also forget about crypto until it explodes again! |

People believe bitcoin is backed by nothing. I think that is not the truth. I believe bitcoin is actually backed by people themselves. It is backed by none other than just you. We all witnessed the price has been fluctuating by all those FUDs and bad news. The price changes by emotion and non logical facts. I believe you hold bitcoin no matter what happened and would happen, and believe it is backed by all of us, it would make a history.  But the reality is that Bitcoin is backed by nothing other than the value that peers, users, the network itself provides to people. I know people are really building up hype into the so called tokenized economy, with digital assets backed by physical tangible assets like precious metals and fiat, but this is the beauty of Bitcoin to me. After all, so many currencies in the world are backed by nothing but promises. And you can see what happens that governments cannot always fulfil those promises. See Argentina, see Cyprus, and many other examples in recent past. |

Fear comes from the unknown. Ask all the newcomers and people who bought in because their friends asked them to, or their Twitter idol said it was a good buy. They all bought without knowing the risks, without knowing the project. So if you do not have the right knowledge, then you can be sure when things go sideways, they will be afraid. Know the things you get into well, understand every decision you make, and you know what you get yourself into and feel safer.

Sometimes, it pays to stick with something that is established rather than one of the alts that are still trying to make it. For example, last year, Litecoin had a far better performance than Bitcoin in terms of annual gain. That was a big surprise of course, the way LTC climbed so much above $300 but then again, maybe it was expected since Charlie Lee had gone out of his way.
For long, term, I like Monero out of your list. I know Zcash and Dash have really had great runs, Dash even above $1k, but they failed to hold like most other alts (although Zcash seems to be not suffering as much). Monero for me is one of those coins that has a serious development and actual userbase. These are the characteristics of all the coins I hold for over 2 years.

There was only one reason left late last year for me accepting coins into exchanges or site services, and this was just the fee options. I would use, for example, Poloniex to take 5 to 10 receipts, and send them out to my wallet for a cheap fee of 10,000 satoshi. If I received 10 times to my wallet, that would be 10 inputs, and god knows how much in fees. That is no longer a concern right now you can send for 5 satoshis per byte and get it within a few hours. Maybe with Lighting coming even lower.

You need to understand that crypto currencies go down and go up. They are volatile. But when a dip happens you must not panic sell. You must hodl on to what currencies you have and wait for the pump to start again. I would recommend selling Altcoins that have not shown progress in a few months, and invest in coins that have potential or show to promising movement for the future. I would also recommend that when in a dump stage, its a good idea to buy coins instead of wait or sell.
No, no. You are either a holder or a trader. If you are a trader, do not turn into a holder just to hold on to losses. The most basic trader knows two things: enter at a specific price (or ranger), and exit at the specific price/range. Whether or not this is profit or loss. This is the fundamental discipline for traders, especially if you are starting out. You can always change your mind later of course, if your max period is reached and nothing has happened (doubt this will happen, you either hit your target or trigger stop loss). |

Ethereum seems the best but only because it is just the one that people are most familiar with. I think you can find so many developers now freelancing on several sites and even here. They can give you exactly what most ICOs need, which is ERC20 token.
You have NEO, you have Waves and Stratis among others. Actually all are cheaper and at the moment can handle so much more transactions but then people just do not know about them yet. Once these are used and people move on and realize how easy they are, it will not be about which is better but which is easier to exchange.

Hmm. Sounds interesting. But I foresee difficulty in verifying scams. I mean half of the threads here use scam so easily every time they have a withdrawal delayed or when they see some discrepancy in the project. I have seen Dash, Ripple, Iota, Ethereum, Monero and a whole lot of other reputable coins all being called scams, and depending on your point of view, they are all valid to some extent. Still, you got me interested to follow. Hope you know what you are doing.

The guys that were in panic made a mistake and sold their coins. The wisest ones managed to buy these altcoins and Bitcoins for the lowest prices. Thus, the crash and panic was very profitable for them.
No use calling people's actions as mistakes or wisdom when we already know the outcomes today for yesterday's trades. Of course, I am a holder so I would hope that holding and adding during dips are the right thing to do, but we cannot think we are wise just because of how things seem to be turning out. Seasonal patterns seem to be holding out for now, but we will really only know when the time comes. The ones who sold and bought back now aren't the wisest ones, just the luckiest,,, but that is just how I see it. |

It is indeed possible, but sadly Bitcoin still needs to fix its issues with scaling. Only with this will investors become confident in Bitcoin again. News of Bitcoin being regulated doesn't concern me a lot since Bitcoin can still function and will be difficult to manipulate eitherway.
That is not sad, to be honest. If a coin needs to scale, that means adoption is successful. If a coin never needs to scale, then we need to worry because no one is using it. Investors have always been confident in Bitcoin. It is the speculators and those looking for quick bucks that quickly move away to alts like Bitcoin Cash because they do not see the big picture (adoption, mainstream use, security, decentralization etc.). Lightning Network and Segwit are fixing Bitcoin's issues, not to mention other developments on the way. |

Coins are dumping again. I know that we won't really know when will things go back to normal. I am still holding my coins and hoping that it will recover after this awful dip. I just want to know who else here are holding? Do any of you got tired of waiting and did a panic sell? I know some people who sold their coins at a lower price before. I held into my principles and kept waiting but it seems like things aren't going smooth. Any thoughts about this? Please respect my post. Thanks!
I did think it was far too soon when people were saying it was over yesterday. Just got to remember everybody, this is a market that swings, both ways up and down. The pattern so far has been bigger swings down with slow recoveries up, but the good news is that Bitcoin is still successfully staying above 8k for 2 or 3 days now. This is also the weekend, so let us see what happens tomorrow. |

Ideas can range from new technologies, different use cases and or anything else you have thought of..
Looking for potential business endeavours..
Thankyou
Mass adoption.. I would love to be able to walk into Wal-Mart and buy all my groceries from there without having to go through the trouble of converting it via a gift card or some other way. If that ever happens, the price of these coins would skyrocket. 100% agree. I saw someone on this forum earlier also say this about crypto-fiat. All the ICOS and projects are looking about creating this bridge. But after you go down to whitepaper in the end it is the same thing. Crypto debit cards which are not real crypto debit cards. You still pay crypto somewhere and the merchant gets fiat. What mass adoption should mean is real merchants all accepting real crypto. If there is some technology to easily do this that grandma and cashier can use. That would be the big idea. |

Dear Community
The cryptos are in uptrend and I'm ready to buy some more.
But I'm not sure if this is the right time, I suspect there will be another dip in the coming days.
What is your opinion?
I don't think that it's going to be a huge dip like we saw last week, but it's still going to be a dip. Bitcoin's already adjusting back to around $8k instead of the high for the week of $9k, which is expected since the pump has been pretty aggressive and we need a break between pumps. That time is right now. A lot of alts have fallen around 10-15% from yesterday as well. I think this may go down further before another pump comes up soon to test the $10k level for BTC. Yeah, I know we are all enthusiastic about this movement, but this has been the way for weeks, down, slight recovery then down again, each recovery quite strong. All in all, very good weeks to buy more, and I am slowly adding in small amounts what I can. But it will be a long time before a proper bull run again, so take this time to patiently buy in at the dips. I think more are coming. But long term prospects look better each week. |

Ok I'm a couple of paragraphs into this MoneroV-Roadmap and I can say with certainty this is complete fud. For example, Monero's infinite coin supply MoneroV adheres to core Austrian school of economics principles and caps the total amount of XMV coins that can be created to 256 million Ha, this is the funniest part, calling Moneros supply infinite and then having such a high supply. When will Monero supply reach 256 million? In the year 100 million?  But all these forks really put Monero up there with BTC even more, now that we get our own line of scam forks.  I agree. If we can learn anything from what forks have done to Bitcoin, then we can rest assured every fork of Monero will only gain more recognition for the true coin. I am holding my very small amount of Monero, happy with the price, and will not even bother taking any of the fork coins. Just a real waste of effort for something that pretends to be better but is just what it is. A fork coin with only an aim to make lazy money. |

Guys, at this point, I would advise the same. Yes, it is true, the argument is that if authorities step in, then it will be long delays and you may never see your funds soon, if at all. But the opposite end, if they are really trying to exit scam and you do nothing, then you definitely get nothing back. Let this be a lesson to them and others, for the betterment of the community. I agree. Make the calls. Report them. |

This is precisely why I say to everyone, please achieve maximum verification before depositing any coin. If the site has it available, then do it. Because sooner or later, this will happen and you will get stuck especially if you did not use real names or spam email to sign up. Watch out, guys, any centralized exchange will end up the same way. This is my repeated plea to get everyone to move to dex!
Other lesson learned is,,, do not store coins on exchanges!
