Αs I don't have a lot to invest, 10% profit will never make a difference for me. I buy a coin that I want to trade and set a price which is nearly twice as big. This doesn't work always but in general it is possible. However, I guess the biggest wins of mine are still related to long-term investments (sold eth for $300 and still hold ltc bought for $20). It is great that exchangers offer us to set any price we feel like setting and we can just the the order under 'good till cancelled' conditions.

Well, I dunno 'bout that. It's already worth $30, so I kind of regret I haven't bought it when the price was $4! Yet it's strange nobody stated what this magic technology is about. It is a simplification of bitcoin, it is quite like dash in anonymity, it offers some benefits for developers. I see nothing special here, no innovative projects here. I think it is just pumped by some investors and will eventually die after all this obsession.

Everyone keeps writing about blockchain and how important it is. I agree that without blockchain our world of cryptos would have probably never appeared. And yet is this technology really essential for any kind of cryptocurrency? I don't think so. I mean, just take a look at IOTA project. I don't know whether it is awesome but we can say for sure that it is an attempt to make something absolutely different. It is built on graphs, not chains of blocks. Graphs aren't really new to the world, they are used in logistics, for example. I believe iota is or soon will be able to show that cryptocurrencies can really be made in different ways.

Unfortunately, bittrex is not really operating as I thought is was. You can surely put altcoins on your bittrex balance but that won't help much, because if you'd like to use this money to buy other coins, you can't buy, say, lisk for monero. You have to sell monero for btc and then buy lisk with this btc. Are there good exchangers without this inconvenience? It takes time and effort to turn any currency in btc before using it again. I think it shouldn't be this way.

But if Segwit is activated now, is there any way to become a part of this upgrade? Do I have to do something for it to happen? Or will blockchain.info make transactions have segwit automatically? Can anyone help me with this?
I'm sorry, I haven't found any sufficient explanation of this problem in this thread. What is it about? Why are you saying that most transactions are actually spam?

Okay, lisk has pumped, but is there sufficient evidence of it going up in the future? What is this coin about anyway? It is built on blockchain technology, so nothing innovative here. Lisk does decentralized apps but is it enough? There are other coins doing the same thing like vslice. Perhaps it does have minor improvements like code simplifications but I don't think that's what will guarantee the pump.

I agree bch is very speculative, it was built on ideas and hope rather than real need of people. But why are you so sure about btc price going down in November? Is there some specific technical issue that will result in such a thing?
As for the tweet, I think such mining opportunities might create even bigger demand of bch, so it might not affect the price in such a bad way. The idea of losing nothing is very clever though. I mean, if bch becomes not profitable one can always switch to btc fast.

The price is only getting higher. $10k don't look impossible indeed. But I am thinking whether it is worth to keep btc even more, after it reaches $10000. Where's the limit in price growth? Keeping btc forever won't make any sense, for one has to spend something he/she has. Otherwise having money doesn't make any sense and is actually worth nothing.

Okay, but how to do the upgrade? At first after segwit I got this feeling that fee was reduced. I sent something which cost $150 at that time, payed something like 70 cents and got transaction confirmed within half an hour. But then about a week ago I wanted to send a small amount of money, worth $10, and had to pay $1 and something for the transaction! I remember that it has always been like that, if you send small sums - you pay more. But this is too much.
If I have a blockchain.info wallet, how can I upgrade to segwit transactions?

Exactly. Nowadays it is profitable to trade coins on the market and perhaps long-term investments are still good. Mining.. Well, I guess it is profitable as people don't stop doing that but you have to spend too much time and money on that at first. Trading is cheaper, safer and faster. I mean, mining at least requires about 4 months for you to return the money you spent on equipment. At that time they may already break.

I sent some btc to my bittrex balance and then was buying coins for it. However, I am sure you can choose other coins to start. Just login on bittrex and go to the 'wallets' section. There you will see zero balance in btc, eth, ltc and some other coins. I think you can just click to '+' button near the coin you want to start with and send it to your bittrex account. I haven't done it myself but when I push the plus button near any alt I don't have  - it offers me to send the money there.

Sure. But why should one always avoid such things? I mean, there are people who care a lot for the coins they invest into, and they don't buy the coins they think are shitty. These people are investors, they want to help cool projects and gain some profit out of it. And yet there're other people, who buy the coins regardless to their innovation level and stuff like that. They just trade using buy low sell high strategy. As more people are becoming traders, the market is destabilized.  There people have the right to do what they do and they shouldn't stay away from premining.

Bitcoin is #1 in every important aspect. It is sort of obvious that no matter how high the price is, it is and always will be a great investment. And yet it's just too hard to overcome thoughts that btc was worth a couple of dollars and then when it was worth hundreds, the price already seemed to high to consider in as an investment. My father lives in a poor country and has a $300 salary per month (which is an average salary here). He doesn't invest into altcoins. He earns some btc and spends it but he has 1 btc he just stores for better times. Once it was just $800 but it's already $4k. I realize it's a promising coin and the price might even go up and up again but it's just too hard for me to consider investing it such an expensive coin when there are so many cheap and improved ones.

It is truly great that there are such trusted members as you are who are interested in this project! I've seen a scam accusation thread for enjine but I think it is not fair to call something a scam until it is proved to be so. Enjin is a serious project.
It is surely great that one can invest different amounts. But isn't even the min amount too high? I'm not familiar with other ico min investments but I thought that crowdfunding is something many people can do. I mean, I just supposed the min investment will be something like if one invests in some online casino (which is around 0.01btc). 

The best Chinese coin ever created is NEO. The price is already $35 but I believe in a year it may become ten times as big. Why should you invest is shitty icos that don't even have ann threads if there is such a great and highly supported Chinese projects already? There are too many ICOs and to become an expert you have to know at least most of them. And obviously I don't mean simply knowing that they exist. You have to know what each offers and whether there isn't a coin having the same features yet. It is too hard to get to know this sphere, so I suggest to invest in existing coins.

Your response is contradictory. It is true it's centralized and so banks could have controlled it. But the high supply is actually against the thought that the price can be controlled, for the bigger supply the smaller share one has from the total amount of coins and thus the less difference one bank makes.
Anyway, I think nowadays these ats' pumps make no sense. Monero is rising and there are no news related to it, no specific causes. I guess it just means that more people are interested in top coins and do regular investments in them.

I agree with others who mentioned ignoring of the whole section. Why do you go to announcement section if you don't want to see ICOs? I think there is no use in trying to invest in new coins but avoid ICOs. Furthermore, Most of coins are nowadays released via initial coin offering. If you don't like ICOs then invest in the coins while are already released and are stated on coinmarketcap. There are quite new ones appearing there as well. If you want to invest in brand new coins then icos are  unavoidable.

Monero has been stable right until recently. I guess they both are good but for me litecoin is something suitable for a long-term investment whereas monero is just a nice coin one could trade these days with potentially high profit. I also heard that monero is actually innovative and we all no ltc doesn't offer anything btc doesn't have (perhaps only transaction speed and lower fees but it is just a matter of time).

With blockchain technology the fee varies a lot. Sometimes I pay 70 cents to send btc (regular fee), other times it is more than a dollar. I guess we can't talk about the price but we could still define the fee by a few ways. The first option is to set the approximate fee for all the currencies and then right down that the fee is two times less than that of btc, for instance. Another option is that the fee is actually defined by the block size and stuff like that. There are even fee calculators. Thus we could perhaps write down the fee in percentage or something like that. Unfortunately, nowadays there is no such list.

I believe it is inappropriate to put it like this, because even though the idea of segwit must have occurred with relation to bitcoin, it was implemented in litecoin first. I think litecoin is a good long-term investment even if it doesn't offer innovations.
I think eth is too expensive now. Besides, it has an upcoming problem of an extreme need to switch to proof of stake. Thus, it is less risky to invest into ltc.
