Trading, at least short-term, is vastly more difficult than investing (for humans). Short-term movements are essentially unpredictable for the vast majority of people. Investing on the other hand, takes quite some effort with regard to due diligence, but that's something that simply requires some time spent researching. The most difficult aspect of investing is balancing a portfolio, which needs a way to at least qualitatively asses risk.


Either way, I would add AiCoin to the list. Poised to be a very stable and successful coin that avoids almost all of the risks of short-term trading, while reaping its profits regardless, while at the same time being in a position for massive gains due to investments in ICOs and other Machine Learning or Blockchain related start-ups.

It's always easy to blame a medium for people's lack of motivation or attitude. But in reality, it's the people, not the internet. Not too long ago people said the same bullshit about books. Today everyone goes on about how the internet is ruining everything and nobody reads books anymore.

Do people really not realize that it's literally always the same story just with new toys and words?

A few decades from now people will start the same nonsense over fully-immersive virtual reality, and then they'll start nagging over the same nonsense in a virtual game world they've created without even realizing it.

Humans... the smartest species on earth......

We're not doing any damage to the planet. We're damaging ourselves. Do you really think the planet gives a shit about what humans do to themselves? Earth has had multiple ice ages already and we're supposedly heading towards another one. Nothing new happening here. It's all a question about how hard we want to try to survive as a species despite a potentially ever-changing environment.
Right now we're too busy being a bunch of idiots with smartphones with another bunch of idiots playing war and politics. The planet won't care if we keep sleeping, we'll just disappear. Simple as that.

There is no maximum whatsoever. If you flip a coin, it's very well possible that you will never roll heads in your life. The probability is abysmally small, but it's not zero.

As already mentioned, healthcare is a strict necessity that can not go. Furthermore, the spending on health care are only so atrociously high because pharma and insurance companies make up arbitrarily high prices that do not even remotely reflect their costs. It's an outright scam that nobody cares to do anything about, all while voting for some redundant party or presidential candidate that won't do jackshit about any of the underlying core issues.

No it doesn't, not at all. The trust was left by "trusted members" who didn't even care enough to really dig into what has happened. The first negative trust was left entirely unfounded simply due to a bunch of people nagging entirely unfounded point.
The remaining two insist that the dev asked/demanded users to leave him positive trust, which is not true either. The users left the trust as a result of a "trusted member" misusing his trusted status, if not even deliberately abusing it.
The project is doing exactly what it announced it would be doing so far and there's no serious indication of anything scammy going on, which can not be said about the vast majority of ICOs which do not even have a timeline for a prototype of a working product.

This is true.
I live in Germany and as soon as I finish university I am leaving this country since I refuse to pay 40-60% of my income to the government. They completely waste the majority of the money too, it's quite a pathetic sight and I won't be supporting this nonsense.

I do believe that taxation is theft, but I would be fine with it if the money went to sensible uses and/or if citizens had a direct word on how their money gets used.

There are far better options in my opinion. BCC may keep tracing BTC in a similar way as ETC traces ETH, but that's not guaranteed and it could very well die out entirely. On the other hand, there are a lot of great projects that have great prospects and far less of a chance to simply fizz out and disappear than BCC does.

tl;dr Sure, BCC may rise, but other coins will rise more with less risks of dying. If you own BCC you can keep them since they were free, that way you won't lose anything. But I wouldn't buy any right now.

I'm pretty much the opposite. Instant results usually end up in me getting bored quite quickly. I prefer games that require skill and practice/effort, and most of those that do do not offer instant results.

There are a few fields where a PhD is mandatory to score a job. There are also jobs where a PhD is definitely worth it from a financial perspective, as it increases the starting salaries dramatically.

Sports are different from "classic" gambling that is pure chance. If you are very well informed about the sport that you are placing your bets with, you can actually end up making money by outplaying the other betters. In that case it's always best to spread out the bets over more games.

I wouldn't put a lot of money into BCC. That's a massive gamble that could burn your entire stash (of BCC).

I agree with this one, Ark is solid and bound to rise some more this year alone. There's cheaper options around though and I wouldn't spend too much on Ark right now and spread my buy orders out a bit to check out a dip if I wasn't already invested since sub 20 cents.


Everyone is already aware of the news about NEO and they're most likely already priced in.

And whether or not a coin is listed on the biggest exchanges right now is irrelevant since x50-100 doesn't happen within a week. SNM will hit exchanges by the end of the year as per roadmap and AiCoin is still in ICO and will be listed as soon as the service commences. It's up to you if you want to ask relevant questions or start doing research or throw around pointless remarks that have nothing to do with anything.
People keep burning themselves all the time by buying hyped coins late and gambling on a spiked going spiking even higher is foolish, but good luck with that; you will need it.

NEO is already very high.

AiCoin and SNM seem the safest bets at this point. AiCoin will perform well regardless of the market situation and SNM is massively undervalued.

Buy AiCoin. It might not pump into x100-1000 like some other coins, but it will be a fairly safe and steady gain nonetheless. It's still in ICO and their product is already up and running and created 130% return in around half a year while dodging the crash. I'd put 60-80% of my stash into a mix of AiCoin, BTC and ETH for sure and split the rest up with promising altcoins like SNM, which is currently at rock bottom.

I'm really surprised that nobody is talking about AiCoin. Are people just unaware of how ML/TF works or what's the deal?

There's hundreds if not thousands of coins. Of course a lot will be dying out over time. There are a lot of inexperienced people jumping in with half arsed ideas an no plans on how to properly implement and scale them after all.
That doesn't mean that there won't be many projects left though. There are almost certainly going to be a few dozens of large projects that will be here to stay.

100%? Good joke...

XEL already rose quite considerably, so the remaining gains are going to be rather low. SNM has a much higher chance of reaching those gains considering it's at dead bottom right now, unlike XEL and GNT which have already spiked well beyond reason.

Quantity of a coin is irrelevant. The price will simply be higher or lower correspondingly. In either case, Waves are far more user friendly than ETH with similar applications... Going to be hard to drive ETH out since it came first and has a lot of attention around it, but in its current state it's not impossible for it to be overtaken eventually.

If Bitcoin prices jump over $50k fees will have to adapt as well. If not, people will just gamble with altcoins instead. And there's always the option of just gambling with fiat.
