1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum - Why is price still high given that there is no utility besides scams? on: October 31, 2017, 05:15:49 PM
How can the price be where it is still, given that there is no cap on supply, it was a massive premine, terrible store of value, was never supposed to be sound money, and that it has no utility right now besides being used for scam ICOs?  No one really uses dapps or anything yet, right?

What are the vulnerabilities and risks associated with this?

After reading this, LN sounds like a horrible idea.

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How can people be buying eth right now? on: June 20, 2016, 05:26:11 PM
It doesn't make any sense.  Is it being manipulated by top bagholders who are using their money to keep buying the sell offs to give it the smoke and mirror effect of looking like Eth isn't bleeding out?

Please try and be nice to people who were going long on eth.  It's a coin that will truly be missed, and I know a lot of people are holding a lot of money's worth.  We have all been through bad times.  Good luck to the believers and the holders, it's only money and you can always start building again.  Learn from your mistakes.  Good luck all.

What's a good ratio BTC to LTC to put money into and hold onto? what about other alt coins?
9  Other / Beginners & Help / Coinbase locked my account for 24 hours? on: November 19, 2013, 02:42:17 AM
When trying to log in, coinbase was not sending the code needed to validate my sign in.  I had to install Authy on my smartphone and when finally able to sign it, I'm now locked out for 24 hours? which is a LONG time in the bitcoin market. 
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Coinbase I think took $50 from my checking when I bought bitcoins? on: November 15, 2013, 02:16:54 AM
Is that some sort of hold transaction so they make sure you have it? It's more than 50 worth of coins.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Just bought bitcoin using Coinbase, need help with paper wallet please on: November 14, 2013, 04:08:06 AM
Hey everyone, I just bought my first bitcoin with coinbase. I got a free $5 worth of coin, but have to wait 4 days for the rest.  Anyways, I want to test the $5 worth using the paper wallet so I can keep it offline without any risk.  Am I able to write it down, save it somewhere like my safe, and thats it?  Do I need a printer?  Anyone with a step by step guide?  I can really use some help. Thanks!
12  Other / Beginners & Help / Wheres the easiest place to buy bitcoins besides in person? on: November 08, 2013, 04:34:10 AM
I've tried Bitstamp, but for some reason the bank isnt listed on Bank of americas list and therefor cannot transfer.  I'm waiting for mtgox to verify me to see my options with them.  Any other quick websites I can buy without a limit?  I plan on buying approx $1k worth, and just sit on it.  It's still worth to get in right now right? these prices seem a little crazy high though....
13  Other / Beginners & Help / Hello to all! New here with a few questions. on: October 30, 2013, 01:57:08 AM
Greetings to you all. BTCassically I went through a phase in college a couple years back when I was considering investing $1000 into bitcoins (I even had the money transferred to a "dwolla" account that was allowing the transfer).  I shortly after got so overwhelmed with my engineering degree, I didnt want to spend a large portion of my beer-I mean- book money on a hasty investment.  After doing more recent research I understand this seems to be still something I can take advantage of.   I'd like to consider still being some of the first to be able to get into bitcoin, even if I'm just starting to get in.  I think right now the price is over $200, so it's kind of scary that I'm still considering it as an investment.  Basically, I'm thinking of putting a couple thousand into bitcoins, and pray it goes somewhere.  I have about 15k to my name, so 10-20% seems like a risky investment, but being 23 years old, not detrimental.  I'm also thinking of putting the rest of my money into silver and gold, or potentially just use this money for a down deposit on a house.  (I am fully employed).  What do you guys think is a good plan for me given my age and the current status of bitcoin? Too late to make a killing?

I finally got my wallet set up using  MultiBit, have my verification pending for mtgox and Bitstamp.  Isn't there a humongous blockchain I need to download before my wallet is up and running? 
This was the address generated....

after reading the guide here on the forums, I'm still wondering what would happen if two .wallets existed.. ( I forgot about all this stuff when I really read up on it during college, like most of my other knowledge).
I would back the file up on a USB storage of some type, and just leave it offline, and have no trace of what was on my hard disk.
