1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Karbo (KRB) on: March 31, 2018, 01:30:28 PM
Although I am a Ukrainian and have already invested a bit in the coin, I'll try to answer.

In terms of tech, Karbo is no worse than Monero. It's also based on Cryptonote but has a slightly different implementation. It's no less private and secure than any other "privacy coin" because the underlying tech is practically the same.

In fact, it's one of three legit and fair Cryptonote coins along with Aeon and Monero. So I'd say it's one of the best out there. It just lacks awareness.

Devs are constantly working on improvements in algo and infrastructure. Last month they've released a mobile wallet. One of the best among all Cryptonote coins. And the first one with NFC feature. There are also working solutions for online stores to implement Karbo.

It seems to be used mainly by an ukrainian community

I'd say, Eastern Europe community, but yeah, mostly Ukrainian. There are working nodes in all parts of the world though.

Would you invest in it?

I would. And I have. Taking into account the market cap and comparing the coin to other similar coins, I'd say it may be a moonshot coin when the market recovers from the bearish trend. Even if you're skeptical I'd suggest investing up to 5% of your portfolio into KRB.

Of course now. NOW and five years ago are the best times for investing in crypto.
If you afraid you've lost the train, I suggest you invest in some promising ICOs so that you could grow your portfolio to decent numbers. At the moment, one of the best ICOs (and I'm probably investing too) is TokenGo. Just google it.

Litecoin will get to $1k this year. Because why not? It has everything we want for cryptoCURRENCY - growing adoption, speed and cost of transactions and normal crypto characteristics. Charlie and team are working on this project. It's one of the most promising coins this year.

Никогда бы не подумал, что на форуме о криптовалютах тема о плоской земле может набрать 14 страниц обсуждения

А когда содержание почитал, понял что никакие технологии не помогут народу стать умнее
Печально

Не уверен как отреагирует сервак на котором форум работает на такую работу. Ты там и интервалы какие-то повыставляй. А то подумают что ты дудосить форум собрался и забанят

I haven't learned anything new. Just the good old strategy - HODL

Also, I've realised how far I was from my original strategy - collecting more BTC by trading alts. I was way too excited about "the hottest and cheapest altcoins". I should have fixed half of my profits in BTC and half in fiat. And leave the original deposit in alts.

But still, I remember the main rule - DON'T SELL IN [20%+] LOSS. Unless you're dying and want to spend all of your money. Or unless you planned stop-loss limits beforehand and that is a part of your strategy

We definetely need regulations in crypto because if crypto is regulated by governments, more investors invest in crypto assets. Regulations are in fact good for crypto.
That's why I created this thread. I want to know what crypto community stands for - money or idea.

And so far I see that people here want quick money more. They either don't know or forget why crypto and particularly bitcoin was created for in the first place.

Thank you guys! You've explained everything to me better than infographics did.

Btw, infographics are useless if you just put text on a jpeg picture. That's not an infographic.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Private Coins from banks and governments on: February 08, 2018, 09:40:19 PM
You can't prevent banks and affiliated governments from forcing their own coins. Like could you not use US Dollars? Exactly, you couldn't. You have to use them because you're forced to by law. So if any government decide to implement "national" blockchain and trace EVERY transaction you can't do anything legally.

Btw, you mention private coins. Do you know that bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is actually easily traceable?
The only truly private (and fairly distributed) coins are Monero, Karbo and Aeon. You can't trace transactions on their blockchains unless you're allowed to by sender. There are no other options. Everything else is open and traceable.

Oh my, the only worse thing about not knowing is thinking that you know. There are a plethora of privacy oriented coins like electroneum, Deep Onion, Token Pay, Sumocoin, ... the list is endless

You lost the most important part: they should be fairly distributed, which means no premine/instamine, no "ninja mining". Just fair mining and/or buying from miners.
Also using a public blockchain behind Tor does not make coin "private". There are cases when Tor has been compromised.
Thus we are left with CryptoNote coins only. And I listed all of them which are fair.

So there's a limited and decreasing amount of merits? Am I getting it right?
Why on Earth would anybody share some limited asset?

So if I want merits, I should "hunt" the users with sMerits and try to make them like me and my posts?

How do you guys think? Do we need regulations in the crypto world? Should only ICO be regulated or legit coins (not "security tokens") too? Can we implement regulations mechanisms in code so that corrupted governmental institutions couldn't manipulate the industry? Can we still have free market with governments' regulations across the world?

Please, share your thoughts. I'm a bit confused about what's happening right now.

At least we need some regulations to protect ourselves from scammers and the so called "exit scams". We do not need any regulation to prevent people from investing their money as they wish.

Do we need governmental ICO regulations or could there be any market-driven forces that prevent the very existence of scammers? Could we implement regulations on blockchain or any other decentralized technology and get rid of incompetent governments? I mean could we have the rules in code so that nobody could violate them?
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we need regulations? on: February 08, 2018, 02:59:20 PM
I think we need rules.
Because, basically human nature is greedy. Now with the many regulations issued by the crypto and the government there are still many people who abuse it especially if there is no regulation at all.
I agree, we need rules. But couldn't some basic rules be implemented in the code and leave the rest for the market to decide? Why do we need governments to decide for us? We have trustless (i.e. there's no need to be trusted) consensus mechanisms. There is and there will be many new tech solutions that could potentially replace the whole institutions.

Could you imagine a vast majority of governmental institutions be replaced with a few scripts that don't require billions of dollars to function?

For the government to accept the existence of Crypto, I think we should follow this regulation thingy. For the world to adapt on BTC, Alts and ICO's we need to follow the governments move.

Why shouldn't governments adapt? I guess that's what they are supposed to do in the first place - adapt to new realities as they appear and help helpless members of society to adapt. And their first rule should be "Do no harm". With bitcoin, blockchain and consensus mechanisms we don't need governments' and especially banks anymore. Any interference will break "the first rule".

Why do almost all alt coins crash because of the bitcoin crash or correction?

Because they're traded for BTC mostly. Thus their price correlates with BTC/USD price. If alts were traded for fiat money, they wouldn't be affected that much.
