I don't think so. 

Market cap ranking wise, it is probably (around) where it should be.

I believe it will grow and still a good investment and likely to double easily after the fork.

Why ask now (or again) after you've already sold?

If you do not know about it...why did you buy in the first place?  There must be a reason.

If I am you, I'd take the proceeds and re-invest it to a coin/token I know/trust...while they are still cheap (unless you are after Segwit2x free coin).

Good luck!

sometimes, the whitepaper and their pages pull wools over investors' eyes (wannabes actually) and they fall for the wrong ones.

As you said, experience is the best teacher but the lessons are often expensive.
Consider it as "tuition fee" Cheesy

I paid mine and taking required  "continuing education" classes it seems. LOL
I would consider it as a nice way to lose a bunch of Bitcoins. Why should I invest in that when I can make the same amount of money with Bitcoin?

To each his own.  Bitcoin is great but it is not for everyone...especially those who are new and with lower capital.  There are more opportunities in alts.  Sure it is riskier but more fun too! Cheesy

965  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: red pulse ICO worth it? on: November 03, 2017, 06:23:02 PM
I dumped my redpulse coins after I have realised that they are pretty much usless to normal people. Redpulse had binance logo on their website but the binance said that they aren't going to list it, thats when I dumped all rpxes at 2x profit and exchanged that into bitcoin. I will say it is a good deal because redpulse coins are now below ico price which is amazing with this cap! I guess people realized that this coin is not so good and it is ment for china.
When and where?
966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin can go to $100 next year? on: November 03, 2017, 06:10:41 PM
Laughing... and wondering if people even read the title/question.   Roll Eyes

Title/Question is...Which coin can go to $100 next year?

Many posted BTC and ETH which is well over $100 already. Duh!?!

Then there are lots who posted coins that are worth a few cents right now...would be lucky to hit $1.00. 
Some are struggling to reach $5 or $10, and unlikely to hit $100.
967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: red pulse ICO worth it? on: November 03, 2017, 05:19:29 PM

I did the ICO only for $ 1000 and after I bought the first day on the KuCoin exchange because I thought I had a show debut, but that was not it.

RedPulse is still a valid and functional product, with a clear, easy and easy-to-see roadmap, has been on the market for several years and its reference is Bloomberg, operates on the huge Chinese market, the Neo platform below, etc ... all potential factors that one day will make it grow strong and decisive!

Now he only needs other Asian exchanges to get to know more about investors; KuCoin was good at the beginning, the first week, to help the newly formed exchange, but now I think the Team within a month will list RPX on Binance and HitBtc exchange .....

Everything I said above will bring RPX to $ 1 by the end of 2017!

Mark these words  Wink

By the end of 2017? Are you mad?
Yeah, as much as I wish he is correct (I am loaded w/ RPX), I don't see it happening as it is now...not even in 2 years.

Not at all - my point is that the past is the past - when there were fewer ICOs in the original hype - some people THAT SOLD made some returns, but for every seller post ICO, there is a buyer ´- so altogether huge losses have been made. The earnings were "luck" since almost EVERYTHING rallied, since then at least 90% are and have been failing.

Even bad projects "back then" made some short term gains - NOW IT IS IMPERATIVE that people invest differently - hence my point is that people have to shun the rubbish and foget the hyped projects and change outlook.
I agree with you. But as I said earlier...you need losers to have winners.

"A sucker is born every minute." -- it is famous saying for a reason.  Had been, will always be...and there is nothing we can do about it.

BTW, I am a sucker too sometimes...I am human so not fool proof. Wink Cheesy

BTW - I only get upset because of having been a sucker in the past too many times !
It is the nature of the game.

Experience is the best teacher...just don't keep repeating same mistake Wink

This board amazes me sometimes.

All the hyped ICOs are killing people - Bancor, Monaco etc and there is no self reflection.

People need to change the way they participate in projects.

All the rubbish needs to be shunned.

Sectors need to be chosen carefully, and projects thereafter.

REAL energy projects (i.e. NOT asset managers such as wepower, and NOT the pure solar/other renewable energy investment rubbish where crypto is just "added" to the process as a marketing tool) should be favoured, such as Grid+ and Prosume Energy.

Stop following people who have proven themselves useless.

You sound like all knowing.  CRYPTO in general is all speculation (yes even BTC).  It is a form of a gamble and very unpredictable.  In everything, there are winners and losers.  Not everyone can be winners...sorry but that is real life.

You claim Bancor and Monaco are bad coins...while I don't own both, I disagree with you.  You might end up eating your words a few months from now based on these two alone.

Good projects sometimes tank, bad projects sometimes become hits...it is what it is and if it is easy to predict, everyone will make the right call and NO ONE will make money as they do in crypto world.  It is a double edged sword...cuts both way.  You need losers to win.

I am not at all all knowing. Far from it.

However, as any investment form matures it moves from gambling to seriousness (or dies).

Clearly, most of the hyped ICOs do not have even a chance of making it since they have teams and set ups that are far from good.

Since there is maturation process going on, I want people to be aware of the change in the ICO landscape - and be aware of oversupplied tokens etc.

There are very few real projects out there, and yes they may fail as well, but considering the losses since the altcoin high a while back, people need to adapt.

That is my point.

Most of the major loss are due to the numerous BTC forks...not by any means the fault of ICOs.  Most coins suffered tremendously.

This time is a BAD if not THE WORST time frame to use as reference for a coin's performance.  Personally, I bought the biggest losers (out of what I believe are good coins).  Instead of bad mouthing them, I see the big dips as OPPORTUNITIES.  The eventual losers are the ones who panic and sold low.  They are ones who need to learn and adapt.  JMHO

BTW, for the record, I am a proponents of ICO regulation because I believe that 90%+ of current ICOs are scams.


My point is that looking at something like Monaco that went up 600% and found buyers at those levels - and it was assumed such moves were "normal" - they have been practically wiped out. That together with the ICOs that never really had a rally to start with. Clearly it was wrong for many ICOs to raise as much money as they did, and for some to rally as hard as they did.

Now with an even bigger amount of ICOs out there, the percentage of survivals will drop hard - and it is even more vital to choose the right ones.

And the hyped ones have caused the largest losses, by default.

And I completely agree about eventual regulation - right now one needs to choose more wisely oneself.

Aren't you contradicting your original post with this?   Huh

If only 90% ICO is scam so 10% not a scam. If one of 20 ICO you choose to invest will make 20x in some month, you will make good money. So people invest in many different to find than one. It's a normal strategy.

Note that I said 90%+ (probably closer to 95%) but yes the strategy is to find that good 5% and make good money. Smiley

...and yes, you can buy several and hope one of them take-off.  It is called hedging and diversification. Smiley

When do you think one can start invest in altcoins? Due to strengthening of bitcoin almost all altcoins are crashing, is it good or bad for cryptocurrency? 

now  it's   a good  time.   


Yesterday was good, today is higher but still good.  There may be a better opportunity coming in a couple days if you can wait--but not guaranteed to come.  Your call.

Hmmm its more difficult than i ever imagined, think its better to quit. Thanks for the information everyone!

LOL, that was fast.  You gave it a week?  You thought you could go from zero understanding of developing crypto to creating an ERC20 token that's valuable in a week?  Nothing good comes easy; I wish you well in other endeavors of life!

My 1st thought from the title alone was "DON'T!!!"

Hi which alts after fork do you think are good to invest.I think a lot of fresh coins suffer from the fork and they have potential to grow.I am considering chain link,red pulse,streamr,request what do you think

I am invested on all of these except streamr so I looked but can't find it.  Is it Steem?
979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Anybody all in in one altcoin? on: November 02, 2017, 08:09:09 PM
I am not but was heavy on NEO a few days ago (almost 50%) ...now it is 35% RPX, 25% ARK, 15% NEO, and 25% misc coins.

Once all these settles, I plan on re-distributing my holdings and keep about 25% minimum in BTC.  Still learning...
980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Amazon registers Ethereum domain on: November 02, 2017, 07:58:44 PM
Very hopefull news for ETH. The future of Ethereum is here.

According to online records, e-commerce giant Amazon, often seen as the “white whale of bitcoin payments, recently registered three cryptocurrency-related domain names: “amazoncryptocurrency.com,” “amazoncryptocurrencies.com,” and “amazonethereum.com.”

For the past few months now there has been rumors about amazon starting to take cryptocurrency. I have no idea what the real truth is. But I am hoping its true.However, I don't understand why they would need to register different domains for each currency they take. Can someone please explain the rational to me?

If you saw my posted links, you can see they owned AmazonBitcoin.com since 2013.  Never used it but it is securing something they might need in the future.  That is the difference between them and us, they have the foresight.  They are probably considering entering the crypto exchange business (just a guess).

It is up their alley actually.
