1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Radar Relay exchange Beta launches tomorrow - list of coins on: August 31, 2017, 12:59:02 PM
Gatecoin lists ZRX, MGO and IFT after the maintenance.

https://twitter.com/Gatecoin/status/903145564858073088

Rumours on slack is that bittrex is listing zrx too
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: About 0x price and Radar Relay Launch on: August 31, 2017, 12:57:13 PM
I saw the news on twitter, but I don't think they will affect 0x price that much. 0x is already very high vs ICO price...

Its been kept down because of Polychain dumping so theres an oversupply; as soon as they've sold what they want to sell the market will move imo.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: for US Citizens: if you use VPN to buy into ICO, can the Government penalize? on: August 31, 2017, 05:18:37 AM
So I live in the USA, New York State.

If I use a VPN to buy into an ICO, will the US Gov't or even New York state government punish me somehow?




Just don't send the btc from Coinbase and you may not have to use a VPN. The IRS is trying to get details from Coinbase on American bitcoin spending habits.

Never send from exchange to ICO as a rule.

ETH OMG ZRX for me, they all have easy to see uses and i can imagine them being successful. Plenty of coins are "XYZ... but as a blockchain  Shocked" and when i think about them abit i can't see the benefits.

A great view of the volatility of crypto

So how do I get in on this airdrop? I just need to hold more than 0.1 ETH and I will get it in my wallet?

They did a snapshot of wallets a while ago and anyone who had over 0.1 will get it sent their automatically. If you put any in now it won't make a difference.

Does anyone know if there's any chance to participate in this sale?

you have to be on the whitelist which is closed, sorry
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [MCO] Such a scam... on: August 31, 2017, 04:10:55 AM
The Monaco slack op just told me, literally, 'buy 10000 MCO and you'll never have to work again'.   

'$90,000 a year forever'. 

Let's do the math on that.  For one, currently 10000 MCO = $200,000.  That's a lot of money to wager on speculation that MCO card volume will ever reach the levels necessary for 1 MCO to return $9 USD per year.

What would it take to achieve that in terms of CC volume?

1 token of 30 million, so 1/30 millionth of 1% of the card fees.

9$ * 30 million * 100 = 270 billion in fees, per year, to make that happen.

typical CC fees = 1.9 - 2.0% of each dollar spent via CC's

270 billion times (100 / 1.9 = 52.6) = 14.2 TRILLION per year in CC transactions handled by Monaco cards to make the '1 MCO = $9 a year' statement true.

To clarify, last year the entire United States spent, on all credit cards, all transactions, roughly 3.2 Trillion.

MCO is at this point not approved for use in the US, or India.  So Europe is basically their market. 

MCO would have to be the only card used by anyone in Europe, and they would have to spend collectively 450% more than America does for MCO's estimates to be true.

But they're still pushing this concept that buying 10000 MCO means you won't need a job anymore.  More realistically, 1 MCO might get you $0.09 cents per year, so 10000 of them would get you $900 yearly from an initial investment of $200,000.

Sounds like a ponzi scheme to me.  MCO is one 'referral system' away from being the Cutco of credit cards.



The visa deal turned out to be a joke too, price is tanking
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Made my first ALT potfolio on: August 31, 2017, 03:56:57 AM
Hi guys, i'm starting to speculate in alt coins and i would like to read about your opinions on my wallets:

Florin - 10$
SysCoin - 10$
Ripple - 10$
Stratis - 30$
Dogecoin - 5$
Verge - 10$
NewEconomyMovement - 10$
Ethereum - 30$
Golem - 10$
Litecoin - 30$
Neo - 30$
Peercoin - 10$
Dash - 30$
Lisk - 30$
Musicoin - 10$

I basically invested 10$ in the cheapest ones and 30$ in the big guys. I'm looking foward to add:

Status
Siacoin
Shift
Stox
Factom
Monaco

What are your thoughts? Which ones should i set as short term and long term?
Anyway, thanks for the time.

I'd cut down to around 10 coins but its really a risk/reward thing; if you want to lower the risk have more coins and make comparatively less but probably still a significant amount. Nothing wrong with that, at least you're in.  I'd get rid of dogecoin though, like someone else said its a joke. And i'd look at omg and zrx as $30 bags too.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Korecoin - Speculation and Possible upcoming pump on: August 31, 2017, 03:48:07 AM
This coin seems to be run by a very professional team of developers and it has a good specific use case. What is the communities thoughts on it's future value and upcoming pumps. It took a while for it to hit a major exchange (bittrex in July of this year), but now that it is out in the world it seems to have pretty good growth. Also with such a small marketcap I can't see this not going to the moon. (Gosh I hate that phrase)

korecoin.net is the website if you want more info.

Do you think its still worth buying in for the short term? Or dip incoming?
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I need your advice, please on: August 30, 2017, 12:57:34 PM
Hello,

I want to make a new portofolio. I have 10k EUR and I don't know what crypto to get in my portofolio. I want only altcoins, but I want a rise with minimum 2x until December.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Adrian

50% eth
30% omg
20% zrx

I'd bet that would at least double by christmas
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [MCO] Such a scam... on: August 30, 2017, 10:53:04 AM
I don't think it's a scam, but the price is very unstable.
Its unstable because of 2 reasons, there's someone spreading fud and a whale(s) are trying to manipulate the price to force those with weak hands to sell  at discounted price, that way they can buy and sell later and another reason is the dollar value of Bitcoin. That also have an effect not only on MCO but across all altcoins.

Someones manipulating the price alright, but they're doing it by buying up several pages of sells at a time to create the illusion of growth and raise the buy offer until the illusion becomes reality.  But without legs to stand on, the bears will tear it down every time, so they do, they take their profits, and the same dump truck of money comes back to prop the price back up again, and the process repeats.

I actually haven't seen much MCO fud.  I'm probably the most vocal MCO critic I'm aware of and it's not like I have a huge audience.

I wish MCO holders the best of luck, truly.  I have some myself.  But I think there's some pretty glaring issues to address.

I haven't seen much fud around either; its definitely volatile right now though.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BlitzCash Set To Soar After Leak Of Massive Snapchat Investment (Article) on: August 30, 2017, 10:25:20 AM
I would be careful with this one.
Seconded. Even though it's not substantiated, the rumor has now broken into a major cybernews outlet. Bad time to buy into the project. Wait for the dip

It went up 100% today for a 5mil coin it seems like a classic pump and dump. I'll keep following it though.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: red pulse ICO worth it? on: August 30, 2017, 09:27:23 AM
Im personally going to hold my NEO but you could speculate that now the Chinese cannot participate in the ICO the demand post-ico will be huge from the chinese investors looking to get in.

Ahh good point, is that how it works legally in America too? As in the SEC has no problem with you buying securities as long as its not in the ICO / IPO?
just use a VPN.  I buy restricted ico's all the time

I'm not American so it doesn't affect me I was trying to see how it would work for Chinese. Anyone know if VPNs popular in China?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SONM Easy 5-10x on: August 30, 2017, 09:24:34 AM
There are quite big disinformation about SONM project here on btctalk for sure. I don't think its scam or scammy. And I don't think it will do 5x that easy. It will be better after more updates and these "oh scam!" cries.

I've seen a lot of fud but can't seem to get any real answers, maybe its competitiors or people trying to keep the price down to accumulate, can't figure it out.

The problem is that here is not much communication is made by the devs.
Little info means little interest from investors . They want to read news here and not on slack or somewhere else
But they only wrote a lot when they needed money. Now they have money and do not write anymore.
People say the developers have no time to write! This is silly. Everyone has an hour time on the day here the news

Its conflicting because on one hand you want them to focus on the tech but the lack of communication is hard
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Antshares/ NEO [NEO] on: August 30, 2017, 09:22:30 AM
Price still declining, thinking about buying some more.. Big chance it will bounce back on friday the 1st of september.

What will happen on friday the 1. september?
Nothing will happen on September 1 as the ghost month continues until September 19 so son't expect to much pump on NEO. I already dropped my bag of NEO as I am already losing everyday. I can use that money invested in NE with something else that can help me earn and gain back what I have lost with NEO. But dont get me wrong, NEO is a good investment if you are willing to wait, I believe after the ghost month, price of NEO will recover.

I agree with you on that, it will drop and drop hard in the short term imo. Could still be good in the medium to long term though.

I'll keep buying more, more and more. Keep up the FUD and make me happy.

No need for fud when its dropped 50% over the last 2 weeks. I've been with ans since 2.20 and hopefully i'll get back on the train but until this is sorted its going to be an uncertain time

19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: STORJ to the MOON ! on: August 30, 2017, 08:19:58 AM
This is not hard pump, just buying and dumping small candles. I am confused.

Mega is a partnership, but when other coins are partnering banks and legit corporations is a partnership with Mega a big deal?
It's obviously not a partnership, but MU just uses STORJ as one option to store the content. Everyone is free to use STORJ, not even a need for a partnership. But being used by MU will definitely help STORJ to more visibility and adoption.

Its a good thing for sure but it wouldn't cause the price to jump that much imo. I've been proven wrong before though and as a storj holder hope i'm wrong here.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can any cryptocurrency overhaul Bitcoin's value in future? on: August 30, 2017, 07:51:12 AM
Ether has very much potential to achieve higher overall trading volume and can definitely compete to Bitcoin.

Compete yes, surpass it? I seriously doubt it, but time will tell. Keep in mind there's so much mainstream-media coverage about Bitcoin compared to the occasional bits and pieces about alt coins. People unfamiliar with the world of crypto will always stick with the most popular coin.

Imo Ether will surpass Bitcoin by Easter. More tech is being built on it, its better tech itself and micro-transactions are possible.
