I think that people interested in this project and in crypto in general already traded on exchanges and used software's with filters. Even an expert in trading will be interested in this btw because right now it's just too difficult to go trough 1000+ crypto and countless ICOs without a tool.

Bitcoin's life span is determined by how high its demand is to the people. As long as there are people who utilize it as medium of transaction, then it will survive for a long time. As of now, bitcoin has already established a good reputation to the market and has unleashed its potential when it comes to business so I guess it will last long. Of all the cryptocurrencies existing, BTC is by far the most popular and the most trusted coin. Therefore, I believe that it will be circulating around the market for quite a long time.

I think you might be misunderstanding what is happening.  When the difficulty drops low, a lot of hashrate comes in to another pool which isn't altminer most of the time, and takes most of the blocks during the low difficulty.  This leaves altminer to find maybe 1 or 2 blocks during this time, and continue to find the blocks when the big hashrate disappears from the other pool which was taking all the blocks.

Sometimes the big hashrate comes on to altminer and it will find multiple blocks quickly in a row during the low difficulty, but recently the big hashrate has been on a different pool during these times, and again, this is why during this time altminer doesn't get as many blocks, but because it's still getting the most blocks when the difficulty isn't very low, it is still getting around ~50% of the blocks total.

Current top priority is to think about how to attract developers to grow the ecosystem involving TRC.
Since some people are holding TRC without doing anything, this is not a good thing to the ecosystem.
A healthy system is that the shares are in the hand of people with ability and action.
Think about how this will work in the real world. A company with shares. When the company needs to grow, they do SPO and offer the shares/option as some incentive.
If we do not do SPO, to protect the existing investors. We can raise money to buy back the shares and then use these shares to pay development services.
So I think a voting system is good for the TRC or any other similar systems to grow.

My feedback for the project so far:
-Keep it professional (as you are already doing now, especially the airdrop form is far better than most)
-Simple rather than complicated details, try to attract more and non-technical people
-For people that want to donate, make a lottery and create a win-win situation rather than asking for donation. This way, community may be happy to donate and get something in return once in a while (like 20% of the weekly pot for development & transfer fees fixed, %60 percent for winner, 20% to accumulate for the next pot)
-Bounties should be there to get the translations done

The attentiveness your team has shown to the community is really important. May I invite you to criticize our project after I launch the Announcement. Out of respect, I won't name it here and I think I have only mentioned it in this forum from our company's profile. I doubt our algorithm is as advanced as yours but the automation of the mouse clicks is pretty cool. Thanks again. I'm talking about the NapoleonX project everywhere, by the way. I think it needs more recognition.

By seeing the price dropping it seems that the burn is over indeed.
BTW the price keeps going up and down, I think it 'll dump more, hoping to buy more soon. Anything below 1500 sat will be quite good for short term hold.
Few more good things are also upcoming for EMC2 i guess.

good question, I've seen coins rise and fall, cup and handle, used beta and pre-release miners. The risk you speak of, is a question of crystal balls. how much will it be worth in 1 month? 2? 6? a year or so? All we have to go on is in depth knowledge of crypto in general, the algorithm, its potential use-cases, benefit in comparison, etc. a lot goes on gut instinct, and the will to put the work in and say "if i lose out, i lose out". most of the people in this thread feel it's a worthy venture, with different ways to go about it i'm sure. That's probably why we're here. My best advice is to be comfortable in your personal finances first.

That's basically because people consider trading as gambling

In other words, they are not really for money (or for the pleasure of making money) but rather for the pleasure of seeing how their orders get executed (when they do get executed). They expect to be earning profits but this aim in only tangential to the adrenaline rush, which is why they are trading. Otherwise, they wouldn't be overtrading but rather staying away from trading most of the time, for days or even weeks waiting in ambush when the price hits their targets while doing something else in the interim (let's call it active waiting)

We cannot prevent other people in using bitcoin in illegal activities or even sometimes scam this main reason why some people don't believe in bitcoin especially does who experience being scam. What we can do is to explain to people to be wise and study first before investing into something. Bitcoin is a good venture but since it is not regulated it can be use in illegal things this must be cleared to those new in crypto currency.

Don't even know why you are asking us what to do with your bitcoins. As far as I'm concerned you've done better than the majority of us, given the amount you have started with, and the number of coins you now have. Maybe you didn't have anything to lose back then, and now you see that you've accumulated some decent wealth and you are now afraid of losing it. If this is true, then I would say you should hold it.

If you think you can keep your shit together now that you would be trading at a different level, then you should continue to do what you have been doing all this time because apparently you are making good decisions.

A fake market cap based on dead coins 90% of owners don't know they have or know how to sell?

Even it Bitcoin cash would overtake regular Bitcoin that'd be shitty for you, cause it will completely kill the potential for a blockchain-currency becoming a true world currency at valuation of millions. It will namely confuse the shit out of the general public and the great majority will stop investing; Bitcoin cash will never be able to reach the potential that regular Bitcoin is able to achieve. No taxi driver's mom is or will ever be googling "Buy bitcoin cash". If Bitcoin cash would have some feature that regular Bitcoin truly lacks, then we're all better offer having another fork on the regular Bitcoin to fix that.

By purchasing bitcoin and not spending it, you are actually increasing the value of your money by taking advantage of bitcoin's volatility and decentralization. Compared to bank investments, investing into bitcoin is far superior due to the profit that you yield in the short or long-run. The price of bitcoin tomorrow might be higher compared than today and we may never know that its price might skyrocket again. But comparing its value two months ago, it increased up to 250% from $1950 last July 2017 to $9000+ today each bitcoin. Investing your money here would be the right choice especially if you are considering long term investments.

Well, in a way, what the Op said is kind of making some sense, but, who wants to be poor? I know everyone will say not them. No matter what, there are people who would remain poor, and there are people who will get rich, but nobody wants to be poor. Even if you get rich, that doesn’t mean you will stop working, and all of us don’t have the same destiny, neither do we have the same vision.

Some people wants to be entrepreneurs like we here, some wants to be doctors and they will never have interest in business, some wants to be Engineers, we are all different.

That is possible theoretically but when practical case is concerned I don’t think it’s going to come in reality anytime in near future. It would take almost everyone or say at least majority of earth’s population to actively use bitcoins in daily life to have sustainable price levels but if everyone is just acquiring it instead of spending, I don’t think it’s a good idea as far as overall bitcoin technology is concerned. I would donate my 20% of bitcoin balance to you if price hits $1 Million per bitcoin.

The volatility of Bitcoin is what makes Bitcoin, Bitcoin. The fluctuations of its price may be a disadvantage to some, but certainly its unpredictability has sometimes resulted to an advantage to a number of investors. Despite this factor, many still chooses to invest through Bitcoin. If it had a stable price, it would definitely attract more people as it would result to earnings that can assure security. However, some might not be interested as the aspect of taking on the challenge of Bitcoin unpredictability would be gone due to the established stability. It depends on how people will take on the stability, but nonetheless it will have its high and lows.

If you are waiting for the price to drop in $1000 and buy bitcoins from then, im sorry to tell you this but it will not happen anytime soon because it will continue to soar up and reach new all time highs and probably will hit the $500000 dream. From there if you're thinking that if only bought bitcoins to where it was only to in $2000 mark you could gain huge amounts of profit. Why dont people understand that bitcoin already matured from volatility and a bubble will never happen because the present bitcoin is different from the past where it was only use by criminals it the darkweb while as of now bitcoin is widely use around the world.

If you have a good wallet security system the hackers will have trouble if want to break the wallet we have, but the hackers could have known the password we have from the email, and this is only one way of many ways that hackers can do, they are very reliable to breaking anything. so we should really attention to our wallet security, especially if we have a lot of bitcoin in our wallet. my advice we can make Bitcoin Paper Wallets, the type of Bitcoin wallet in offline form so it is very safe from hacker attacks.

Even if bitcoin does not become the only world currency, it will function on a par with the dollars, euros, etc., that are customary to us. A few years ago we could doubt whether bitcoin's success would be successful, but now it's obvious, too many people are involved in the field of crypto-currency, too many investors, and this is not the limit. Bitcoin will soon be very convenient in travel, for anonymous purchases, and it will not be anything surprising, but quite natural. I really look forward to it in my country.

Bitcoin's existence is far from disappearing but like any other investments, the risk of losing your money is normal. Bitcoin has shown its potential over the years by the constant increase on its price but there are also external factors that significantly decrease its price like China's banning of ICO in their country etc. One cannot simply protect and secure bitcoin due to its decentralized nature, the primary factor on why bitcoin is still alive is due to the sheer volume of investors and individuals who utilize it onto transactions. Even some retailers are starting to accept bitcoin as a payment for their products.
