Heya.  Interested in your servixe!  Can I please get a card, thank you so much!

Later, when the hard fork process ends, you will get a free BCC and immediately redeem it in yobit or livecoin and you can also get some cheap BCC there. The trading process is live now.
They're just offering some IOU futures token if I'm not mistaken.   They've done
that before and the real thing may not be close in price to the token.
I'm not stressed about the whole issue either, but I just want to see it over and done
with.  Couldn't care less about bcc other than getting some for free.

So will it be forever or no?  Can you always claim Bcc if you had Btc?
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have Electrum. How to sell BCC? on: August 01, 2017, 01:56:53 AM
So if I move everything out of electrum after fork, I will still be able to use those keys to be claimed on bch any time in future, is it right? even years later?

Yes.  By this description your private keys before split contain the altcoin.  I think you will always be able to redeem the bcc as long as it lives.  Good for hodlers to know if in the future BCC  becomes huge.  I think it will die right away as I have not read any viable reasons why it will live.

Hello there . Any prediction for Ethereum during BTC update on July 30-Aug 3/5

I don't know.  I hope.everything doesn't go to shit
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 31, 2017, 03:02:50 AM
Eth has grown a lot this year, I believe that by 2020 it will reach 500 dollars
Why 2020? I think 5 years from now is 2022. In my speculation 5 years from now ethereum were strongly enough to follow the way of bitcoin. Even though there's a lot of people who judge the ability of ethereum I believe that they can handle it. Moreover I think ethereum reach $1000 after 5 years.
Your speculation is good but I have a little bit questions, how can you say that ethereum were reach the $1000 after 5 years? Do you have any basis to contest your speculation?

I'm interested too in these questions.  Also what is POS?  Piece of shh?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 30, 2017, 03:01:18 AM
ETH looks bad right now. Reason: ICO's cashing out. Basically it's lots of people giving ICO's their ETH, which is then sold. So what currently happens is a huge selling wave.

However it will not go on forever, at some point people run out of ETH and have to buy ETH at market to use for ICO's.

Also people favor BTC right now because they expect a split (free coins on other chain, like BCC).

Now the bullish part:

Long term, all the ICO stuff will harden ETH. ETH fuels so many applications, it will become too large to fail, and more and more gas is used.

Also ETH will become POS - which means a lot of interest earning and "masternode" locking of ETH. Casper discussions are around 4%, not bad for HODLing.

Therefore ETH long term should be much higher  Cool

What are Casper discussions?  What is masterbode locking?  pOS?  Point of sale?

ETH has a very strong development team.

Who is their team? Just VB?
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 26, 2017, 11:45:44 PM
So many coins on the Ethereum network now !
I think 0.5 BTC or more is a good target.

And 0.5 btc in 2023 is 10 mill
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 26, 2017, 03:03:47 AM
What would be your target price of Ethereum for 2022?
For now it may be difficult to predict the price of ethereum due to the high supply of coin compared to bitcoin. But with the increasing number of projects that work with ethereum, the price of ethereum is drastically reduced. For the next 5 years, ethereum may be priced at $1500/ethereum.

Because there is a shortage of smart contracts?  Is there an index of businesses that use ETH ?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 25, 2017, 01:34:50 AM

Positive on the air, in my opinion, indicates an early correction, and not a quick recovery))) Five years will be enough to return to today's levels)))

That's why it still hasn't gone back to recent peak?  Or going to fall to 10 cents again?  In 5 years what can make it drop?  If UN doesn't use it?
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 24, 2017, 02:07:46 AM
Well, crypto currencies value is unpredictable but I think Eth shows a lot of potential. So, maybe by year 2022 it's value will increase a lot. And  I would like to see that.  Grin

Why did it go down to 200 then from peak at 540?
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 21, 2017, 04:06:28 AM
Well, as of today there are a lot of important investors talking about BTC reaching USD 500'000 in three years, so I think we could expect ETH to be around USD 200,000 or USD 250,000 by then. I think is possible because I expect a sequence of major events happening in the coming years regarding crypto currencies.

Fool, you have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly neither do those investors. Do you realise what you're saying, what they're saying? 99,999% sure those guys have a tonne of money stashed in BTC and ETH. They want people to believe it's possible, so they say stuff like that. If BTC is worth 500K and ETH 250K, we're talking about a total global marketcap of cryptos of about 20 trillion. That's about 1/4th of all the money in the world, and that's not counting other massive coins like XRP or LTC. Also, if someone buys BTC at 500K, they believe it will go even higher. Making claims like this shows how little you know of our economy, and how blatantly those so called 'experts' are willing to lie for their own gains.

From what I believe from my own extensive research and 4 year experience as a financial expert and consultant is that BTC could reach 30K within 10 years IF global adoption happens according to plan, with ETH reaching about 4K, as that it's backed by companies the consumer trusts (microsoft, jp morgan, ...). I also believe it won't go much above that. Everything has it's limit.

Last, if you want to become rich, like we all do, don't just buy, hold and hope for the price to go x100; buy, hold and accumulate. Investing 300$ a month, 200 in BTC, 50 in ETH and 50 in a different alt (may I recommend START, ANS or MNE), will grow your assets in a slow but steady way. In 10 years, you'll have about 15btc (if you managed to sell at highs to invest back in dips) which will be worth 450K. You'll also have around 15ETH, which will be worth around 50K as well. Last, your alts, lets say you've accumulated ANS. I believe it could easily be worth 200$ within 10 years (basically its Chinas ETH), so if you buy for 60$ every month, again following the btc strategy of selling high and buying back low, you should have a bag of about 150 ANS, adding another 30K to your worth. Don't forget that you bought your entire holdings with a total of 36K, and you ended up with a total capital of about 530K, by investing a mere 300$ a month. With 530K, you can buy 4 decent appartments where I live (Belgium), which will give you a rental income of about 3K a month, which where I live means you don't have to work anymore.

Today alone btc climbed 1000$

I would not be one of your clients.. for sure

Don't worry, you never will. My answer wasn't personal btw, I have nothing against you, but what you were saying makes no sense whatsoever. People expect to be like the guys they read about, the guys who put 200$ in a coin and getting 200K out of it just like that, like the guys that invested in bitcoin in 2010 and are now buying mansions. They believe that if nothing stops a tree from growing it will eventually reach the sky. I'm sorry but it simply doesn't work that way. Maybe you get lucky, maybe you find a coin that the market doesn't know about yet, or an ICO with a new perspective, but the chances of that happening are very very small, plus they get smaller every day because the market is saturating rapidly. Sure, there are still a number of coins with a lot of potential profits, like I said Antshares could still rise with 2000% because of the open market in China, but my strategy is proven to work, every single time, without the need for luck. It takes longer, but it's a lot less risky and offers great longterm profits. One of my clients, a 35 year old, has made over 20K in profits over the last 3 years, and I believe by the time he's 40-45 him and his wife will be able to fully retire. That's my goal, to allow my clients to quit their jobs as fast as possible, and I don't get the results I get because I occasionally get lucky. Your strategy, I assume, is a strategy that would've worked very well back in 2010. But guess what, people know about cryptocoins these day, I get friends and family asking me about it every day, I read about it in mainstream newspapers every week. The markets have changed, but your strategy hasn't I presume. I'm 25 myself, and my strategy will allow me to retire comfortably within 10 years. You could get there quicker, sure, but the vast majority of people who literally gamble with cryptocoins will not.

I mean...you called me a fool....The fact that I don't have the same strategy than you does not mean that I don't know how to make money and I couldn't be a private banking client. I work at an investment bank and I have wealth management experience, and enough wealth to be a private  banking client already BTW. You're talking about scaling or 'average' a position investing small amounts of money. Any strategy or financial advisor would never ever guarantee their clients that they will retire in a certain amount of time. You're only 25, so you re just an inexperienced guy telling people what to buy and sell and how. Do you know how to build a well diversified portfolio? managing geographical, industrial, currency, and political risks??. I bet you don't. You still learning kid. BTW, I don't know any legit and real financial institution that would promote or hire a 25 year old 'financial advisor'. To sum up, Ethereum has lots of potential. For the price to go up steady to 1000 or 4000 gamblers and people who don't know what they are doing should leave the market. Therefore, the price will find a balance.

Like I said, I'm not telling you that doesn't work. My original comment was about you saying that BTC is expected to reach half a million in 3 years (I also read about mcAfee claiming this) and ETH a quarter mil. My question to you is if you realise what it would take for it to reach that level? 3 years is about 1.000 days, meaning bitcoin would have to gain, on average, a little under 500$ a day. No whale would allow this without cashing out big time every single day of those 3 years. Second, I don't guarantee anything, and I don't only work with cryptos or investors, I take care of peoples retirement plans as well, some of which are extremely low risk, others are extremely high risk. Mostly, however, I get people asking me how to invest in cryptos in a safe way. The absolute best way in my opinion is to therefore gradually invest a small amount every week if the circumstances are right. Third, I started working in finance and insurance when I was 18 with my uncle who used to have his own consultancy business. I have seen a lot of people lose money as a result of reckless investing, and allthough it's fun and exciting to 'gamble', it's not for everyone, in fact none of my clients do. I have also worked with top investors and consultants, including one of the only Belgian billionaires. I have learned how to guide people in building a solid portfolio including property investments, insurance, stocks, startups, and many more, all without taking unnecessary risks. That's why none of them are millionaires after a few years of investing, but also none of them have lost any money in the long haul, and all of them are steadily building their wealth in a way they fully understand. Fourth, I'm definitely still learning, all of us are because this market is barely a decade old. With your last point I definitely agree. A volatile market is a market with a lot of unsure traders, people who trade with emotion rather than strategies. They will indeed leave the market, but it will take a hell of a lot longer than 3 years, I'm afraid, as the vast majority of the world is still getting to know Bitcoin, let alone the alts.

Whales are going to be cashing out all the way to a mill?  I don't think so, but if they do then eventually there will be no whales just hodlers. Making price super stable.  Which is what is needed to disconnect banks.

Once eth goes to pos there will be no need for miners to sell it to cover their power bills. Less selling, more buying.

ETH going to 0??  What u mean ETH going to pos?  Point of sale?  Or piece of @@@@?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 15, 2017, 04:07:34 AM
Even to eth is in a bearish mode,
I think it will go over  $1000 by next year , early next year...
So in 2022 ?! Anywhere from 2000 to 10000 .
Just my opinion.
Will look back at this post next year !


What does bearish mean?

I have a question about  wallets which use different services to send/recieve bitcoin.  No client except the bitcoin-core client uses the full chain downloaded.

Will coin AT REST be safe in all these wallets which store the private keys on your device (not web based -etc).

Jaxx
Copay
mycelium
Electrum
multibit
etc,

For how long will they be safe?  Will any of these wallets, when a coin is spent, be using a different version?  Is there any timeline or statements from each of these wallets on their chain usage?  Copay uses Bitpay, etc.  maybe could someone put together a comprehensive list of which networks and what they will adopt?  

some info on electrum.
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html

Any help or input would be great peace of mind!  thz

Add trezor to this list as hd wallet.

If you load any other wallet besides the core client, just to check your balance, will this load associate your coins with the wallet's chain services now and all your coins will be now activated on that specific fork?

so you arent a person?  The Buy Bitcoin sign guy made more than some of these crypto currencies, or the wannacry ransom address's
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 13, 2017, 09:08:00 PM
eth is dropping with bitcoin right now.  Two are linked indefinitly and if one fails the other will?  But BTC is not affected by bitcoin?  will their fates be separate in 5 years?
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum in 5 years on: July 09, 2017, 01:49:40 AM
In terms of fiat my guess is $7500 for 2022! Grin But first they have to secure and improve their network.

They say that the "Ethereum Machine" is much slower than a mobile phone, so I guess that will need to change first! Just imagine what will happen with thousands of smart contracts are being invoked on the network at the same time, who knows what will happen!?
Nothing wrong with being positive and all of that, but that is simply too high, there is no way for Ethereum to reach that price, it will need to grow about 25 times its current price to get there and that is not going to happen, it is as simple as that, I think the rise in price is going to get slower now that is that high, similar to what happened to bitcoin.

I think you will be deadly wrong. It will get higher than anybody could imagine
Could you at least elaborate and not leave it at, you are wrong because I say so, at least I gave an argument about why this is not going to be the case, Ethereum is already very big, and when you are big it is difficult to become even bigger, especially when you have something on top of you avoiding your growth, which in this case is bitcoin.

I would also like a justification.  Not just because you say but some kind of reasonable statement.
