Be yourself, unless you are like Jack the Ripper, in which case don't. No, it takes two to clap. "Be a friend" is better advice.
Wise man: "do unto others what you would have them do onto you", unless you're suicidal.

But here's my shill guys. *shill warning*. TEU is going to be the biggest nuclear submarine these few years!!

Very good point. In hindsight, it's easy to say, I would have sold here and bought here, then I would have multiplied by x amount.

Look at TEU. Just finished pre-ICO. Ticks all your criteria. Fantastic real world problem requiring money and trustlessness with a genuine team behind it. ICO in November.

It would be great for XMR to have tons of integration. Even if not, i think it won't die as long as the creatures of the night need to wash their illegal hacked gains. 

Recommendations are for you to buy so tt my coin will go up in value, or because it's been stuck in a rut and I want to get out by selling to you. Talking our book is normal.

Here's mine: LTC, for when segwit x2 breaks BTC. Note some core devs have said they will leave BTC if x2 passes.
TEU, just finished pre-ICO. Fantastic known hungry market with clear line of sight to solution. x100 potential? Great team. I'm a big fan. Not much marketing and that's why still submarine.
Nimiq, has a Bill-Gates-in-a-garage feel.
OMG
BTC

Nimiq. Giving off Bill Gates in a garage vibe.
Chilled out team coding in some south American jungle(?).

If the team is good, this should rise. It's true there is wheat and chaff mixed together. This i think is wheat.

How about Nimiq (NET)?

Don't put your faith in BTC. Just BTFD. But after a while you should consider speculating in the other lesser known coins because it is possible one of them will kill BTC or take over ETH.

This is my insight, full of common sense and precious intelligence. BTC arose from nothing, maybe a lot of anger and angst, but nothing much. And it became this, this monstrosity eight years later. Bless SN. Think, if tomorrow it ALL died, then after a few stunned days, won't it come back again? The seeds in people's minds and hearts are still there, even more so now. The internet, cheap electricity, is still there. Come, don't you see that only by taking down the internet can BTC die? It may fade and transfer its life force to another, but the idea and the execution is out. Take my wisdom and internalize it. This, this thing can only grow and metamorphosize, thorium reactors/ big data/ cheap storage/ etc will feed it until Elon Musk is right, and we evolve out of our carbon-based forms into new silicon-based life, complaining and FUDing all the while, just as the apes did when sapiens arose.

BTC itself has technical problems besides adoption. But happily, LN, Segwit etc can solve some of this. Knowing it is not so anonymous though, u shd know another problem: governments can slowly co-opt it into the system. Will raise its price to the stratosphere when it becomes mainstream. However, it will just be another government currency. Imagine then you want to send BTC to an address, you'll be made to declare where you're sending it to etc.

To your query, yes, the exchanges are weak. But as long as some countries are welcoming of BTC: Japan, SKorea, Switzerland, UK, people can find a way there electronically to participate. Yes, the life force is pushed into the shadows again. But my idea is that now the genie is out. Imagine China does an about turn and allows some trading, maybe under very strict KYC/AML after their cleaning house. Maybe only exchanges run by "friends", properly taxed and loyal to the state. The rebound will be spectacular and astronomical. Why? Many people will already be familiar with the crypto-system, believe it and want it. So it may be pushed into the shadows but each release will bring it to its previous level and then some.

I too am waiting for IOTA pump. Given Bitfinex bit off this chunk of home-rolled code, they must believe in it. One day after the 'aunts' have organized, a new hive mind will take the price higher. A smidgen of IOTA is just what we need to keep the wheels turning. To the HODLers go the spoils.

Who needs friends when your girlfriend is the hottest girl in uni? The only friends you might make are those eyeing your girl. For sure when u dump your girl or vice versa, there will be lots of "friends" offering sympathy, hopefully girls. For now you should focus on your girl, that will make her feel extra special.

We should calm down and give them some days to set things straight. The authorship team have come out with a message and should be correcting whatever screw up it was. This is a novel system, the referral pyramid system, so we should give it more leeway to succeed. To the Hodlers go the spoils.

In markets, price can fall to anywhere as long as there are no bids. When there are no buyers, you'll have to offer a fraction of what the last guy sold at. Hope this helps. No worries. There should be a pump soon.

Please elaborate on why it seems a strong team to you? Will they be corrupted by the amount of mone(y) tha(y) raised?

This sounds serious. Any further details to back up what you accuse them of? I'm sure Googling "bittrex scam" will bring ppl to this thread. I have about $50 in there i don't want lost.

Anyway, is there a consolidated list of scam coins? Like a sticky in alphabet order with the dead ones greyed out so we don't waste our time. Anyone thinking of "investing" can at least check this list quickly as a first step in "due diligence". At least get screwed by a coin that put in some effort.
