8901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tether: not even a scam on: September 22, 2017, 09:01:16 AM
Funny way to put it, but that would not stand up in court. Even if Tether were to one day exit scam they could still be brought to justice and their accusers would have the right of law. Remember, nowadays legal courts do see the difference between letter of the law and spirit of the law. It's a good move to more ethical legal practice.
8902  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🔺🔺🔺Thoughts on my current project🔺🔺🔺 on: September 22, 2017, 06:01:57 AM
I think you have a good proposal. A real example of crypto in the real world, with a real solution for a real need. I would actually start with small time shops first. You mentioned Indonesia, that is perfect. I believe there are so many small shops there. But, I would like to ask, how would you protect these owners from theft? Yes, the devices may be secure. But that won't stop thieves from thinking they can crack it.

Sorry to throw real example but this is the risk.

I have joined several campaigns successfully and can be extra active to promote this campaign, even in my local areas. Thank you so much for your time!

8904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: A decentralized web would give power back to the people online on: September 21, 2017, 06:48:29 PM
I'm all in favor of content that can't be censored, so this looks interesting.

Genuine question: Why would one buy Shift when https://ipfs.io/ does essentially the same thing for free?

But is the Internet not already freely available and decentralized? Yes there are centralization of services, from domain hosting and registration, and hosting content, but we are only looking at the WWW. There are a lot of other aspects that we do not always use. If you truly decentralize everything, how will we find everything? It is not a problem of access, it is a problem of knowing where to find it.
8905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to calculate any coin's potential with Coin Market Cap ? on: September 21, 2017, 04:13:37 PM
Information from Coinmarket Cap alone will not be enought to calculate a coin's potential. However, there are some clues, I suppose. If it has been in the top 50 for a long period of time, this means stability. If it is listed in many markets, with recent volumes and with different fiat and even crypto pairs, this means liquidity. If it shows good moving price history and not just peaks of pumps and dumps, this means natural trading.

Help Adding ZERO to Cryptocurrency Exchanges
http://crypto-help.blogspot.com/2017/09/add-zero-to-cryptocurrency-exchanges.html
I just Submitted the Free Request to add ZERO at Yobit
Well as far I know there is one thing that yobit team knows how to do well and that is pump coin even 5 times up. So lets wait and see. But we need working website for sure.


Again, of course a website is important!
But more importantly, a reasonable marketplace,
cryptopia is not one of them for me
where prices are constantly being manipulated downwards.

Therefore we need at least 2 -3 exchanges to fight this problem.

You should also be able to sell or exchange coin on shapeshift. io

regards

I wholly agree with this valuation. Cryptopia. Nova. Tradestoshi. All of these exchanges bring very little value to coins, and you don't want to get trapped when their wallets suddenly go into maintenance. So much crypto has been lost with these exchanges. I strongly believe for anonymous coins, you must find a strong adopter. A big, or even top 5 darknet marketplaces adopts you, and you are good.
8907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is long term investment on: September 21, 2017, 02:35:33 PM
Technically, Ethereum is much more than an investment. It isn't a simple crypto like the others. It is a currency which can be exchanged into hundreds, and soon-to-be thousands of tokens serving a wide range of companies. This is enormously valuable. Each day that passes I am starting to think ETH will eventually surpass BTC to become the #1 crypto. It is even more crazy to think that it was under $40 less than 6 months ago!!!

Ethereum was supposedly built as an ecosystem for decentralised apps. But come to think of it, has anyone seen from the hundreds of ICOs that have passed, any of the projects actually use Ethereum for a real life purpose (other than trading, and sending payments since this is all currency related)?

I am not knocking ETH. I am just saying it does not feel like its true potential is reached. Again. Not talking about price.
8908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WAVES PLATFORM VS ETH PLATFORM on: September 21, 2017, 05:47:03 AM
I believe that the ethereum platform with the ERC20 tokens give more credibility to the project

Not necessarily. Do you know that the majority of ICO scams are actually using ERC20 tokens? Did you know that Ethereum is now more popular than Bitcoin as the crypto currency of choice for criminal activities (just behind Monero)?

Of course, this doesn't mean ETH is bad, just as Bitcoin wasn't bad even if terrorists use it, but if you're saying that simply using ERC20 gives the project credibility, I highly doubt it. WAVES has a verified token system that works by some verification of the creators and project. I trust that much more!
8909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins as long-term investment ? on: September 20, 2017, 05:48:03 AM
Right now 99% of my holdings are in BTC, the other 1% ETH.

I´m looking to diversify my portfolio a little, the thing is I´m not a trader, I would like to invest in other crypto with the same mentality I follow when I buy bitcoin, which is basically buy, hodl and forget about them. Are there any altcoins that match this criteria ? Or this mentality applies mostly to bitcoin ? I don´t intent to keep checking prices every day.

I was thinking maybe 70% BTC, and 30% equally divided between LTC, ETH,RIPPLE and others.


This is a good strategy, but in my opinion, Bitcoin should be at least 80%. Alts like LTC and ETH will rely on Bitcoin prices anyway so a further 15% should be in those established ones. I feel even 5% in "potentials" that cost say, less than $5 is enough, as you are banking on these rising much more over the long term. Holding these require more research and a bit of luck, but I might say you are in "safe hands" if you go for the ones with constant development. I too do not like checking every day and just hold.
8910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin FUD on: September 19, 2017, 07:44:18 AM
Do not be surprised it the next huge FUD comes from India. After China, India is the biggest country in the world. 1 billion plus people. Yes, for now not many Bitcoin users or even exchanges, but I am 100% certain that it is just a market waiting to explode. There may not be as much wealth spread out, but there are a lot of super rich even. Hey, even 1% of 1 billion is 10 million! If we see a demand for non-fiat, we will see the government and central bank there shift uneasily.
8911  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Altcoins really have a future? on: September 18, 2017, 05:55:44 AM
Certainly yes, the altcoins have future if the dev  doesnot want it to make it scam coin. If you can witness the doge coin,its value was 6satoshi last year and now its value was around 70 sat a month before. So howcome its value increased? certainly its alive and has good volume in trading. Like doge there are also other coins which are active and ready to compete.

it must be a very long wait for its price to reach up to a dollar each. its a good news for someone who holds hundreds of millions of doge but for someone who only have A MILLION doge, its a bad news for those who holds billions are going to dump before the rest that will drag its price back to 6 sat.

altcoins has future but only to those who hold big amounts and only to coins with real use.


If you had a million DOGE at 10 satoshi last year (I recall even lower but let us just say for the sake of argument) and you sold it at 120 satoshi a few months ago (I remember higher but let us just say)... you would have made 1.2 BTC. And you can easily sell 1 million DOGE. If you had hundreds of millions, then you're in trouble:)
8912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ELECTRONEUM SPECULATION THREAD on: September 16, 2017, 07:17:45 PM
I don't see anything special about this coin? I think people will lose a lot of money.

The special thing about this coin is that it can be mined on mobile phones with an app. So people can easily get in touch with cryprocurrencies. I think it has great potential Smiley

In that case, then there's really nothing special about it. Almost any coin, theoretically, can be mined with any device that has a CPU. Mobile phones surely fall into that category. And if you take into account staking wallets, you could practically have several coins mining (through staking) at the same time, without using your phone's CPU and killing it.
8913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to the china based cryptos ? on: September 16, 2017, 09:12:10 AM
Nothing different from what was ever going to happen to them before this month. You should pay more attention to the news you read. Even the fake news and rumours say nothing about moves against China-based cryptos. ICOs are a different matter and arguably most are just tokens, not crypto. Exchanges are not crypto.
8914  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think the price will DROP MORE? on: September 15, 2017, 03:38:25 PM
I do wonder why people have to ask others about their opinions before making their own decision. So what if people agree and validate. Or disagree and cull your opinion. In the end the market direction proves you correct or wrong.

In my opinion it's very possible for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency's price to drop more. The rise in price recently is probably just a bull trap. I'll take my chances and wait a bit longer. Not to mention the weekend is coming too, whereas prices usually go lower.

15% rise does sound like a good trap. But anyone who bought at 3200 to 3100 can already lock in amazing 1 day profit from this. Even if they believed like you did in the "trick", technical dips shouldn't be ignored.

Has not every weekend for past 5 before September actually meant a rise in price?
8915  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-14] Bitcoin Price Drops Below $3,500, But Is Relief Rally In Sight? on: September 14, 2017, 07:25:33 PM
That is a good point, four weeks low. People have forgotten than this incredible high was always likely to be short-lived. Especially since the price never looked back from $3,000,,, when it really should have dipped for a while before moving on to $4,000. Relief rally? Would be very surprising. Maybe more of a consolation drive to recover 10-15% after the panic dies down.

8917  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoin with BTC ? on: September 13, 2017, 11:00:36 AM
I am reading quite a number of threads now of people who are choosing to trade even with other alts to help reduce the general alt dependency on BTC price. It is quite funny for me to see that Litecoin for example has been moving from around $60 to $80 which is a huge percentage difference. But the BTC price is more or less equal, so even with that big change in value, you see little profit from BTC trading.

We need to make ETH and LTC more popular for trading alts. Healthy for the economy, I think.
8918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Syscoin: Masternodes coming soon(just announced), Moon shot imminent. on: September 12, 2017, 06:33:31 AM
Nice call. I guess now (as usual) I am too late to this party! Would you still recommend an entry price and exit point at this stage? I would like to set my strategies now to setting buy orders instead of getting at market price. I have bookmarked you now and hope to follow your new threads, so please keep this up!
8919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what alt coins worth the invest? on: September 11, 2017, 01:53:24 PM
The list that I can recommend to you is very long. So let us just say that you can choose from ETH, ETC, XRP, XMR, Waves, SNT, MCO, XVG, and several more. Just take the careful step to buy when the price comes cheap. Do not buy during bull run of these coins. You might end up waiting for it to bounce back after going down.

That is, by demonstration of all the posts in this forum, simpler said than done. How might anyone identify the bull runs, other than after it has already happened? If you wait, thinking you are at the peak, you risk missing out. If you jump in when it is already underway, you risk losing from all the dumpers. Easy to speculate and analyse, tough to call the shots.

This has to be one of the best sites to have arrived on the exchange seen in a long time. Most people are like me. We do not want to register. We do not want to give up our documents. We just want an exchange. And does that make us wrong? No, of course not. When did privacy become associated with criminality, right? Hope your exchange always stays true to your beginnings.
