1  Economy / Exchanges / Kraken to Electrum on: August 01, 2017, 08:44:40 PM
I'm mostly a Coinbase and Poloniex user. Specially for the fork, I opened an account on Kraken as they supported BCH. I have received the BCH on Kraken. I want to sell the BCH and want to get my BTC off Kraken again and move to Electrum.

For getting BTC off the Kraken exchange: can someone confirm this is done with funding=>withdrawal?
For selling BCH, I suppose it's just opening an order. If not, let me know please.

Yes, I know it happened, I was following very closely  Smiley

But I thought I would just see a pair called BTC/BCH in my Kraken account ready to be traded. Asking them to support seems awkward, they knew the fork was coming and they know the amount of BCH (since it's a 1:1 ratio).

I had my BTC on Kraken exchange during the fork. I heard I would have 1:1 BTC/BCH coins. I cannot find them in Kraken as I would like to sell them.
Where can I find my BCH in Kraken?

True, however my feeling is that it's the right time to buy ETH. It's high now (80$) that's true but there is a lot of upside potential still.

You are kidding right?

In less than a week that shit is under 30$

Let's see, your guess is as good as mine.

In the gainers and losers coinmarketcap table, one often sees values of up to 300% gain. How do you go about detecting what coin is going to be pumped soon? Are you looking at the 24h window for that? Needless to say that I would want to join that ride and speculate a bit. Any ideas are welcome!

Other than that, I have the impression that the pump is often realized by a single person investing a bit of money. If overall volume is low, this results in a tremendous gain. I guess they hope other people would notice and jump on it too. I have no evidence of this though so would like to know if this theory holds...

In the end, also just trying to make 10K into 100K or more...
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Theoritical max value of an altcoin on: May 02, 2017, 02:42:55 PM
I'm relative new to the altcoin market. I was wondering if there is a way to calculate the theoretical max value of a coin based on the market cap and the total supply.

This question was triggered when I read somewhere that Ripple has to potential to reach to 10USD/Ripple. I was wondering how they go to that number. Must be some logic behind, if not ...it's just a way to pump the coin, no?

Thanks. I did quite some research related to the development team behind the coin, the value propositions etc... For Ripple, it's currently trialed by a lot of major banks throughout the world. I know Ripple goes against the decentralized nature of other altcoins, but the fact the banks are testing it, is reason for me to believe there are plans with Ripple. Hence I invested some money into it. It's as good a guess as any other of course and I'm well aware of the risks associated to it.

Though as was mentioned before, I'm not taking any serious risks and if I lose the money, so be it. But I also dont want to miss out on an opportunity to get some real money. I lost the opportunity before with BTC  Wink

In terms of money to lose, I'm living in a country where we get 0,1% interest on our saving accounts, we are losing money due to inflation. I might as well lose some on altcoins then (or take a risk and get some nice profit in couple of years).

@MarMoCoin: That's the whole question. Proof me wrong with these assumptions.  Cool

@g___: the altcoins I'm looking at are all respected in their own specific domain: Ripple, Golem etc....Dev's are good, just wondering why these two are still <$1, and the others in the top 10 marketcap are not.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What's wrong with this thinking process on: March 27, 2017, 11:04:18 PM
I'm planning on buying some coins that are <$1 on coinmarketcap.com. The reason is that they are very cheap, so getting a lot of them is not going to be too expensive. If a coin is $0,001, I could buy 10.000 which will cost me $10. If it goes up to let's say $1, I will have earned $10.000. The question is obviously how reasonable the chance it that it will reach $1, but looking at coinmarketcap.com, it seems 7 out of 10 coins are $1$+. If the coins fall in the top 10 in terms of MarketCap I consider them popular coins so there's quite some demand for them, hence one could reasonably assume there is a big chance it will once hit $1.

Obviously there are a lot of assumptions above, that's done on purpose as I can't help but believe these are fair assumptions. But seems like I'm alone out there otherwise it would be a get-rich-quick scheme.... Hence, can someone give me good (constructive) feedback on why this thinking is extremely naïve and wrong?
