I am only a MEW wallet user, it suits all my needs but I do worry every time I see them put up the message "this is not a secure method". I know a lot of people are now migrating to MetaMask, but I guess I am not one of those users who do not mind putting up an extension on Chrome. I do wish MEW would not freeze up when the network is crowded, though. I recall at least twice in recent months having problems sending payment even on high gas fees. Personally, something like Electrum for Bitcoin would be perfect but since all the tokens seem to be on ETH,,,

How can you really tell if there are girls involved in here / in the crypto scene without doing a census? Not like you can tell from their avatar/name.
But for the most part, I assume they're a minority anyway, like in the tech/programming fields.
Well, of course girls are less in this area. But the less they cling to! Can I add in the account the choice of sex? then you can determine how many girls here)) In general, in the world of technology girls are not so few. I have the most education programmer and I work in the profession. Since the 1970s, globally already women and girls are not a big part of technology and even in finance, there are only just catching up. So with blockchain you have finance and technology together. So you can expect there are not many involved. Take a look at all the new projects coming up. When you see women, mostly they are in marketing or PR roles. Or at the top you have the CEOs and some other "C" title. But I have never met or heard of a single non-male developer. |

I actually do. Every single time. If I do not read the whitepaper, then I am not interested in the project. Trust me, the majority of whitepapers do not need to be read through. Read the introduction and you can almost immediately tell if it is good quality. Proceed to the key summaries and you know even better if the project is going to waste your time:
Language is not so important (English I guess) but stay away from WPs that:
1. They do not tell you anything except their idea is revolutionary.
2. The token does nothing.
3. They use data you can find on Google top 3.

Cash out has to be part of your strategy as a trader. I did this very, very early on when I cashed out all the Bitcoin I ever used to trade for alts, and left back the profits to continously trade in alts. So I know that if one day I ever lose all my coins' value, I will actually have never spent anything else other than time.
But early this year, I made new BTC purchases for alts (and those are now in red) so but again, as soon as markets recover, I will sell off enough to cash out all the Bitcoin I put in.
Of course, if Bitcoin itself dies, then whatever I invest and still continue to (buying more BTC with fiat) will be gone. That one, I do not have a cash out strategy for, since I consider every dollar I put into BTC as a more or less lifetime investment.

I bought a few LISK actually recently, when it was around $18, so was quite excited when it went all the way to $30 as other alts were dropping, but seems like that pump did not last long. I do not think I will be buying any more now, but rebranding usually does seem to pump a price it seems. Only thing is I saw how raiblocks (rebrand to Nano) seemed to be just a really short pump before also following the rest of alts downhill. LISK is a pretty strong name in the industry though. Now I am torn to buy more or not.

Depends on what your long term means. One year? That is not long term to me. But anything below two years and I might say NEO has the advantage because it can still have a lot of room to grow. Ethereum for long term (and this is from someone who does not believe in Ethereum).
NEO for six months to one year (very short medium term actually) presents much more chances at profitability. Ethereum will get bigger, but following Bitcoin's performance.

That has never happened to me, thankfully! So I can feel your pain. Then again, minus December 2017 so far, if anyone bought Bitcoin at ATH they would be very happy. So the same when ETH and LTC made their ATHs. If you have half a belief in crypto, then you should just hold for the ones that you like (as in project), cut losses on the ones you don't and put the proceeds into a basket of some you think will have strength in 1 or 2 years. Then forget about trading and hold.

You just never know. NEM took a real hit with the hack on that unmentionable exchange in Japan, and they will be so embarassed that it happened as if they did not learn from the flaws of Mt Gox. But I believe this is one of those slow to rise coins, and the fact that it has dropped even more now and because of bad news makes it a really attractive LONG TERM investment. I am adding this to my portfolio this year. Regardless of the price. I have said it before anyway, and the news has not changed my mind.

Sorry to hear about your problems. I have been very fortunate thus far in all my experiences with various exchanges. When I run into problems, I usually get some help eventually, even if there is mostly a long delay and nothing I can do about. Now, just keep persisting, every 2 or 3 days, always use the same reference number so they do not get confused. And be polite, do not be rude. I know how you feel but trust me if you are rude, they will keep you waiting even longer.

Yes I agreed and I believed that Dogecoin has a good future, having a big community in different nations by this altcoin is a sign that it has a better future. Moreover this is one of the pioneering coin in crypto world. Which means it is more likely trusted alts compare to amny alts here.
Completely agree with you, mate. Dogecoin is one of the oldest altcoins in existence. As such, it will have more trust than most altcoins which are new in crypto land. Having a good number of nodes and mining hashrate will ensure its survival in the long term. Therefore, I believe that if Dogecoin is used among many people for their daily transactions, it will have a bright future ahead of it. Of course, Dogecoin could gain more traction if it improves in development and innovation. To make Dogecoin better, it would be best to update it to the latest Bitcoin's codebase to ensure it has the last improvements such as SegWit and more. Until now, Dogecoin hasn't faced any scalability issues but as more people begin using it, it will have no choice but to implement an upgrade towards its transaction capacity. Maybe, the co-founder of Dogecoin will return in supporting the same. Or, perhaps there will be a community takeover to make Dogecoin great again. Nevertheless, no matter what happens with this cryptocurrency, it will be here to stay for many years to come. Just my opinion  Yes! Trust and loyalty are so rare in crypto, and there really is almost no community like Dogecoin. I mean, I was so sad when Exodus took off Doge support, but to see the devs and the community hit back in the reddit post, was a real boost to my confidence. Doge is strong, Doge is always close to Bitcoin development, Doge is here today and will be tomorrow because we are all using it! BTW latest version already has Segwit but not yet beta because of... developers explain it a lot better. Something to do with Segwit poses some issues to Doegcoin's network. Guys, just check out github and reddit to see there is no need for community takeover. It is already alive just quiet. |

Why would I want to go to the hassle of paying $1 for marijuana with crypto, when I can just do that easily offline and without leaving any trace of it on blockchain? I still want to visit countries like Malaysia who do not allow use of that. What if somehow they gain access to that blockchain and can trace me to it by associating addresses? Besides. I might smoke too much if I get it like that. Better hold and keep my crypto so it goes x50, then I get 50 x more marijuana direct from the farm.

Just as I was asking a friend yesterday where all the Bitcoin Cash shills had gone! Hope Roger Ver and gang can see now what happens if they kill Bitcoin (not that it is dead, just taking a break), that they really do not know what they are doing with BCH. But sure, BCH will again be $3500 when Bitcoin is back at ATH. Try to get to 20% of Bitcoin first, then you can talk about scaling new heights.

Individual payments in crypto doesn't mean much on a global scale. You will always find someone willing to take crypto. Even for something big as a boat.
What governments are doing is much more important than what a single individual is doing.
What is your country? Weren't the floating piers in Greece?
Do not underestimate these little pieces of individual Bitcoin use, small or big, they leave behind a mark and set a precedent. Remember pizza day? If some guy never bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, several times, maybe it would have taken longer for people to attach value to Bitcoin. It is still remembered today as the first real transaction involving Bitcoin. Maybe one day people will remember that boat purchase in the small country when everyone is using it. What goverments are doing is one aspect, but Bitcoin survives and thrived before any government knew about it, not because of policy but because individuals used it. |

I do not really have the solid numbers but I feel it is not a good strategy in the long run,,, especially since I use the charts of a couple of coins I look at. Imagine if you did this at the start of the "crash", you would have kept buying coins as they got lower, and by now ran out of funds as the prices kept going lower. Of course, if they all rise again, then you suddenly become a genius for making more with each rise. But the real genius would have been the one who used stop losses, and bought in at the very bottom.
Stop losses are the only way to limit and manage losses.

Well, perhaps this will teach people the lesson that you cannot just create something like Tether and not expect it to fall down. Pegged currencies, pegged crypto, and centralized to the maximum. Beware, there are even more crypto projects now wanting to do the same thing (pegging values down). But when you create something and give it instant value, it becomes a fire you cannot put out later on.
Hold tight everybody. Let Tether get its fall, and crypto will climb back up again.

Interesting to see how much has changed in the six weeks since this post started, yes? Minus all the crappy posts that do not mean anything of course. Written at a time when Bitcoin was on a crazy bull run, today it is below the price it was when the posts started. I can imagine on January 1 we had the doubters and today in February the bears will be smiling and telling us all that they knew this was coming. I think the reality is that 2018 is going to be a struggle for Bitcoin to stabilize. It had such a fast 2017 it has not settled down to understand what is going on around it. I have high hopes for Lightning Network. If that works out, we will never see a 100k mempool again.

No my friend ico coin will mever surpass btc. Bitcoin has a natural growth and we got it from mining and i dont think any ico coin out there will surpasses bitcoin. Bitcoin is king of crypto and will be always king. The pioneer of thia industry even if the bitcoin tech is obsolete but many people will think about bitcoin if they talked about cryptocurrencies.
And that is actually a fact. And let nobody forget that Ethereum is an ICO coin. So whatever people say about Ethereum building and such development and marketing done. Hiring great developers, going to conferences and promoting the platform, remember that they started by raising millions, got hacked, reversed the blockchain and here there are today. Cardano is no different. Nobody worked on it for free, all the ICO money is the one building the hype and getting the community interested. Bitcoin's crown is there and cannot be taken away, not by price not by position in market, not anything. |

OK. First impressions. First few posts here are from new accounts, one claiming to be a programmer. Shilly responses if you ask me.
Secondly, the whitepaper has a .docx.pdf extension, which is just sloppy for me.
Thirdly, I know my English is not the best. But even I wonder if the founder's ending note means nothing: LIBERATE IN VERITAS. Liberate is english, veritas is Latin.
As the intro itself was confusing, I did not proceed except to pick out this funny phrase: "shatters the boundaries of confinement that obstruct human potential". Yes, someone please use this project and let me know how your potential is no longer confined.

I think an ICO is a must for launching any new coins. If you launch a coin without an ICO I don't think there will be much people who would like to consider buying your coin at all. Where as, after an ICO your coin's demand might rise. So I don't think it is a good idea, and you should conduct an ICO, or else your coin might die and your money would be wasted.
You are the reason for this crazy ICO trend. Plenty of new coins launched in the past without ICOs, I own several now, Bitcoin is the most notable. Even Byteball is something I am very proud of, yes it was an airdropped coin (on Bitcoin balances) but its development is superior to so many ICO coins. Or look at Litecoin, or even more recently raiblocks (now Nano). Wonderful projects, wonderful communities. And they are doing so well in price (not that it is a problem if they are not). Usage, tech. Those are important. Not price. |

Ethereum found Vitalik said himself last year, the competitor to Ethereum is Ethereum, the successor to Ethereum is Ethereum. All the others who want to compete and bill themselves as Chinese ETH or Korean ETH should really look at themselves and ask, why are we competing with the victor? Why not differentiate and let the users decide what is good for them? Performance should speak for the product, not marketing. But that aside, personally, Waves and Stratis. Not Neo, Not Ripple, those two far too centralized for my liking.
