Token metrics look good. I like the project.

Anyone know anything about $PHR? It has been getting a lot of attention lately on coinmarkets..

Regardless of whether BTC will survive after 100 years, crypto will. So if anyone gets aboard this train, he/she will be invested in it to warrant switching to something other than BTC if the flippening ever occurs. In short, the gist is that the underlying tech is very promising, and BTC is just the poster-coin. It has everything going for it.

If you think of the BTC value, it indeed was a profit. However, the weeks leading up to the fork saw a slowdown in trading, and more holding of btc by people anticipating high value of BTCG. This slowed down the markets. While you can argue if this was good or bad for the BTC markets, it definitely wasn't very good for the ALT market.

Depends on your strategy. For long term perspective, minor fluctuations do not matter, and you're better off buying, forgetting about it and holding. However if you want to swing trade, you'd be better off identifying patterns, and buying on the lows, and selling when high, to rebuy when low, to subsequently increase your overall BTC stack. The former approach is less time consuming. The latter is more time consuming.

These days you will find many debates regarding categorising BTC as commodity (gold, silver, etc) or currency (cash). Definitely something to take into consideration if we are to remark on the long term viability of BTC as gold or cash.

Exactly, one of the concerns would be - 'who would be willing to pay for it'.
Even if the aforementioned issue is sorted, and we can get the community to pool together the requisite funds, advertisement screams of manipulation. The smarter ones who aren't on the wagon right now might get discouraged to see the need for marketing.

This has blown up
