Indeed, much too early to step into alts. Especially if this is new territory for you. It’s only for crazy gamblers willing to risk a sure loss for a tiny chance on a huge reward.

Is there a connection between BTC bullishness and the following topic: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-18/chinese-capital-outflows-spike-highest-10-months

Never too late.

Enjoyed your post but I’m out of sMerits 

I also favour a scenario of increased price weakness in the medium term without the bullish scenario in the larger time frame suffering. The better the build up towards the halvening, the stronger the push towards new ATHs.

After the cold winter years of 2014-2015, nothing can phase me. Besides, my happiness is not tied to the price of Bitcoin. Results in better sleep too  

I believe 

I don’t see so many negative points. Instead, I see a lot of chances.

Price is a bit weak indeed but EOS at $1 would still be well priced. Holders of EOS need to consider that the big hype is probably yet to happen. All of this depends on finding a kipper dApp for EOS. In that respect, I have good hopes for in-game currency systems that game creators can seamlessly plug into. That could become something big.

There is a tendency to call all coins other than Bitcoin 'shitcoins'. To me, it seems mostly like NPC herd behaviour  

I'd rather make a distinction between:

• shitcoins
  
• chance coins
  

In my vocabulary, shitcoins are coins that serve no purpose, have no vision or (attempt to any) solution. We are in the process of saying goodbye to front_left_tooth_coin, not_solving_even_non_existing_problem_coin (Autorship, I am looking at you...), pump_and_dump_copy_paste_coin and all other projects that were stamped out of the ground and will be put back in that same ground soon. If anything of the numbers in Market cap is still representing shitcoins, it will be pressed out from it like a lemon. Good riddance.

This is to be separate from chance coins. Projects that try to solve an existing problem or create new possibilities. High risk, many will fail, but the label 'shitcoin' would misrepresent these projects. And it would be very close minded to think that such new and innovative (but failure prone) projects won't be initiated in the future with only Bitcoin remaining. Perhaps in once sector (store of value) the competition will be very stiff, but there are many more aspects to cryptocurrency and DLT tech that are and will continue to be explored.

Not meant as shilling and basically a random mentioning of some projects to color my thought of separating 'chance coins' from 'shitcoins'.

• Ethereum: vehicle for the shitcoins that will deflate, but a programmable decentralised machine has something to it
  
• EOS/TELOS: more centralised (in computing sense) but more powerful. I can imagine this grabbing a spot for dApps that do require accounts/management/high TPS
• Nimiq: a payment solution with full blockchain capabilities, light weight (so some compromises on decentralisation) but excellent for small and fast payments. Nothing exciting in terms of standard POW blockchain, but it has something no crypto had: easy user experience.
  

Again, I'm not mentioning these projects because I think they will 100% rule the world. I mention these as examples of how time, money and creativity seeks opportunies, time and time again. Just like we do not call all companies with venture capitalist investors 'shitcompanies', I won't call all cryptocurrency projects 'shitcoins'.

'Shitcoins' and 'chance coins'. Remember this.

No hard feelings. I am amused by the blabbing, but suspect others aren’t. Brothers keeper 

Keep on quoting the bloke so that our ignore no work.

I doubt that a Zimbabwe ban would mean anything for the Honey Badger.

I found life after Google very interesting but hard to read. Still haven’t been able to subtract the 30s elevator pitch from this book. I really hope he will straighten his thought and presents this in a structured manner some day.

I think people want to see proof of influence first.

Announce.

Execute.

Proof.

• Go to a small (but exciting) project like www.nimiq.com (NIM)
• Load up on coins
• Get those 200,000+ eyeballs on that project
• Profit

The rally in NIM the next few weeks will prove how much influence you really have.

Easy proof

Or are you CW'ing on us?

With Bitcoin the manner and the distribution scheme is known (set in stone). With GBYTE, it’s basically a number of coins forming an unknown factor and overhang on the market. I like the airdrops. Perhaps dumping can be discouraged by locking airdropped coins in a smart contract of 12 months or so?

I’m ok with Brave Browser for now (=Chrome based).

My helicopter view baseline is simple: continuation of this pattern for up to a year (until halvening). I.e., around $10k with swings of max $5k up and down. Result: no (i) sweat and (ii) 100s of pages of anxious WO-ers. 

Keep your cool.
