People don't care they just want to gamble. They just want to see crazy returns. People are just buying to sell Unfortunately, cause I can imagine from a devs pov that he/she works really hard on something and it just becomes a cash cow being thrown around.

Yeah but if you get IGNIS for free in aidrop, then selling 10-20% of NXT for IGNIS after that doesn't seem like a bad deal. You can also just wait for it to dip..

Oh boi... I bouhght some IGNIS but what do I know? Just thought it had a cool name (yes I'm like that).

Key points to consider:

- In theory allot is possible, is it all talk or can it actually be practically implemented?
- How much hype is there? Big caps that get saturated also means high numbers of investors which can seriously tamper with any potential profits. Favorably you want hype in the
  other direction. So not from investors saying how amazing and great everything is and how they're walking on rose peddles.
- Can the team handle what they vision?
- Is there actual demand? Social platforms, privacy idealism.. sure sounds great. But talking to the average individual telling them the USA spies on them. Google, Facebook, Twitter
  make huge profits of them. THEY DONT CARE!!!!!! PEOPLE DON'T CARE! People are generally uncaring, they prefer convienence over rights.
- Are there partnerships?
- Should I not keep my money in bitcoin, can I really profit from this ICO when Bitcoin might aswell go up. Leaving you with less worth for your sats and possible further losses.
- Is it a long term hold? If it isn't a longterm hold; I'm always out!

There are already enough solutions to bypass this.. so it might be.. but who knows? It's not like you can really measure it.

Can I ask on what you base those believes?

Stratis has a full end to end product at the end of the year and will start onboarding companies they have been communicating with in 2018. This information can easily be found.

Not just to the moon, I'm going to walk it

Its all in french...

But on bitcoin lasting, yeah its here to stay its not going away. It might have rough patches but its going to last.

Why? Just because you think it is an insane number? I think it is insane how much wealth Bill Gates has for example, doesn't mean its imposible. Stop letting your beliefs restrict you.
Bitcoin can do 1 billion per coin. Easy!


I don't get it, reading commnents here its all I think its crazy, its too good to be true. Well if you bought for a few dollars worth of bitcoin upon its release you were a millionare now.
You're breathing in an envoirment where coins can go 100-1000% in a day and you think BTC hitting over a million is to far fetched?

Easy, Bitcoin can do a 100 Million with Litecoin responsible for smaller transactions such as coffee.

SEC started harrasing exchanges like Bittrex and Bitfinex, meanwhile Goldmansachs is looking to start getting into cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin because of a high demand.

Coincidental? Smells like manipulation to me. What do you think?

I'll miss out but I won't miss all.

It is highly volatile, reason why Amazon doesn't want to accept it yet.

It's the SEC, they said they would be targeting exchanges to try crash bitcoin so it may never recover. They're also behind a few coins being delisted from Bittrex.
They're a bit butthurt because everything is decentralized and see exchanges as the only way to get control.

Well it sure must have been lucrative for most businesses that started early with bitcoin accepted payments. Their money has gone times 5 atleast if they holded.
Maybe Bitcoin will never be accepted at Amazon, maybe another coin will fill that role.

Ja vind zelf Bittrex toch wel de beste en meest overzichtelijke exchange. Bitfinex is echt een ramp in vergelijking.
Ik kon zelf ook nooit me ID bevestigd krijgen op Coinbase dus wel interessant dat dat jou wel is gelukt.

-Ja zou altijd via een exchange kopen, ik heb het zelf wel in het verleden gedaan kopen via een handelaar maar reeds niet meer.
-Ja zo goed als alle altcoins word het niet en de kleinere exchanges hebben de neiging om gewoon alles en nog wat erop te pleuren, ookal is de coin dood/scam en nouja je ziet het plaatje al wel vormen..
-Ja ik houd alles zelf bij in een schetsboek (voor tekenen/schetsen) ben erg blij met dat besluit want ik heb al vele pagina's vol geschreven. Plus je hoort hier en daar nog wel verhalen van mensen die gehackt worden en dat is geen pretje natuurlijk.

Wat betreft wallets en dergelijke, een coldwallet zoals Ledger/trezor enz. zijn naar mijn mening toch wel een ''must have''. Voor de rest kun je in principe de wallets downloaden van de coins die van plan bent vast te houden. Tenzij ze ERC20 zijn, dan is mist/parity of www.myetherwallet.com een optie.
Ben zelf niet zo'n van fan Ethereum wallets.

Er zijn wel dergelijke bedrijven die bezig zijn met een universele wallet, dusver naar mijn wetenschap zijn er nog geen beschikbaar. Maar van Bitquence en Cardano weet ik dat zij hier bezig mee zijn.

Ja ik denk dat je er eerlijk gezegd meer aan hebt om technische analyses onder de knie te krijgen en op kort-mid termijnen altcoins te handelen. Niet echt daghandelen dus.
De markt is vrij onprofessioneel en emotioneel, er is genoeg volatiliteit en er zijn genoeg kansen. Als je dan daar wat succes in boekt en ook een beter begrip hebt van hoe de markt zich beweegt en hoe je zelf handelt, wat je minpuntjes en pluspuntjes zijn dat je langzaam naar daghandelen kunt toewerken.

In ieder geval veel succes met wat je ook besluit te doen.

Ja naast Bitcoin investeer ik in mijzelf.

I think it is generally understood with academics. You're right though, massive amounts of information gets lost/misinterpreted.
Allot of information gets intentionally denied trough mistranslations, very common in medieval Europe where the Vatican and catholic church in general holds controll over its people's thoughts. Who knows how much that happens this day and age? Probably just as much.

I like the jewish tale of truth according to stories of creation.
Everything was created in truth and only truth really exists so for there to be a lie it has to be based on or contain some truth.
Based on this logic, ''the right info'' or truth will always find a way to surface.

I'm suspicious with cryptocurrencies issued by governmentals. I can imagine this will benefit Putin's inner circle allot.

Don't expect any studies at all really. Most company's just allocate a certain amount of tokens for bounty's and if 2 people sign up they can be happy splitting it. if 20 people sign up then they split that.

Most company's also don't really care about how many languages get filled because they already have a pre-ordained amount of tokens ready for the specific bounty.
Any extra language just means more exposure, in terms of marketing it is worth it.
