I see a lot of people asking about altcoins, what they do, who's behind them etc. As I entered the cryptocurrency space I was overwhelmed with the amount of tokens on the market and had no idea what was what. So I started doing lots of research. Absolutely tons of it. I shared that info with a few close people in the crypto community and they found it very helpful, after that I placed my research into Newsletters I made on my google drive, and showed it to a larger audience. Those did so well I decided to make a free website, which I have recently turned into a fully hosted website that is up and running with the purpose to inform new investors and other cryptocurrency enthusiasts about tokens, what they do, who's behind them. I also scour news every day for important and relevant news topics and keep the site updated with them. I'll post my spammy message below. I hope it helps and I hope you enjoy the content (: Hey everyone I recently made a website that helps news users transition past the high-level entry barrier seen in cryptocurrency markets. Resources and guides for trading, explanations on key trading, and blockchain terminology. We display relevant news from relevant crypto news platform such as Cointelegraph, Coindesk, Medium, and new directly from Twitters accounts. We are working on building a Crypto Library for alt coins that outline their use case. We also research coins using Fundamental Analysis, and publish them in our Newsletter allowing investors to easily find good prospective value investments. We don't promise giant gains or give ridiculous prices for any coins. We simply gather information on them from multiple sources, and display it in an easy to understand fashion that everyone can appreciate. Lastly we will also post Technical Analysis updates on some of the more well known tokens. Check us out at https://www.cyberlionweekly.com (: Thank you for your work. Website has some problems with ssl, link throws "SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT" at me. Work fine without https, though. |

Personally, I struggle to see what is new that Ethereum Classic offers?
What sets it apart from the other more technologically advanced coins out there that are being worked on from ground up; such as Cardano, EOS, etc. and those already with actual real-world adoption such as Stellar Lumens, or Litecoin?
Will Ethereum Classic be as scalable? Or will it have the same issues as Ethereum once the network becomes just as busy?
Ethereum classic offers nothing, there is no advantage to hold that forks coin dude. Ethereum classic is not a fork but original chain. ETH is a fork. |

Once we reach 95% Segwit adoption
How long do you think it takes simply to open a LN channel for every BTC user with 300000 daily onchain transactions limit? For 30 millions bitcoin users it will be like 100 days if only transactions recorded in blockchain is LN settlements. We probably have much more users. And blocks already full, so there is no room for additional LN settlements. Only coinbase alone reported more than 13 millions users in November 2017. LN channels should also be closed, restarted, refilled, etc. There is no way LN ever will be adopted by all bitcoin users. |

Main advantage of bitcoin over current monetary system is predictable supply and irreversible transactions. There is no way to block "suspicious" transaction or steal from people by printing more bitcoins. Fees should be lower, though. |

Ethereum can be replaced by new projects like EOS. Ethereum single point of sale is smart contracts, and a lot of projects aim to this tech these days. Bitcoin, in other hand, has first mover advantage and immune to forks, copycats, fee problems, etc. I'm not sure ethereum can survive big competition like bitcoin did.

People underestimate Litecoin for some reason while it's one of the biggest players on crypto scene.

Why normal bitcoin users can't use their money to run their own full nodes themselves instead?
Bitcoin don't need more full nodes, by the way. 20 pools can handle all the problems with propagation.
It depends on who is a "normal" Bitcoin user for you. It took me about 3 days to synchronize with the network, I guess that "normal" Bitcoin user wouldn't be so patient to wait 3 days "only for better security". Usually they depend on web or light wallets. There are about 11 thousand Bitcoin nodes right now and it looks like it won't change anytime soon due to Lightning Network which also gives you ability to create a node which in fact will earn (small amounts of) money. I just use OP term. "Normal" look too broad term for me too. By downloading full blockchain users can't really improve security compared to light wallets and running full node has no impact on mining pools or blockchain state at all. 20 bitcoin mining pools in full control of all transactions and other full nodes either accept their blockchain or not. All blocks still will be downloaded from 20 top pools, it doesn't matter how many non mining full nodes propagate blocks. |

That coin flatlined for years. What happened and how do you know it won't happen again? If you can know something for sure you don't have half a million marketcap. Big risk big reward, simple as that. ETH has flat for long time before bull run too. Mincoin not even has reached its all-time high, there is definitely only way to go up: fast growing communtity, new devs, new exchanges, mature blockchain. There is no more coins with infrastructure and such a low marketcap. |

I see more and more comments about community losing patience with Bitcoin developments. One result of it was the creation of Bitcoin Cash which increased the block size of Bitcoin but it seems it is not enough. I wonder why they did not created from the beginning a block size of 100MB, 200 or maybe 300MB? Why limit themselves to 8MB? By having bigger block size wouldn't they fix the issues of speed and scalability...
I learned recently (here on a different post answered) that are concerns of decentralization as a result of larger block. What if somebody could solve the concerns of decentralization in a larger block? How valuable this will be?
To run a full node, you are required to download the whole blockchain and as years pass, the file will become much bigger (with a larger block) which make the average user unable to do it and this will leave us with only big corporations doing it (centralization). There will be a point where Bcash will face the same issues we used to face before SegWit so yeah, increasing the block size is not the solution for the long term. In the beginning of 21st century it seemed unthinkable that high quality video could be transmitted over Internet, more of that: people were unable to stream music at that time because they had very small bandwidth. And look where we are now. You have VOD readily available and affordable, for 5$ a month or whatever. I think the same will happen to block size. Number of people on Earth is more or less limited and everybody can do only so many transactions a day. Number of transactions daily is limited that way, too. That top limit can be accommodated into blocks with that and that size. No more is needed. So we should increase the block size, knowing, that it will need to happen only to those limits, and knowing, that very soon the disk space to accommodate those limits will be very affordable for an average Joe. the real question is 1. how much do you think is the block size limit that is needed for scaling? 8 MB? 32 MB? 100 MB? 2. how big a block do you think most people can handle with all these "advancements"? 8 MB? 32 MB? 100 MB? it is said that VISA handles on average around 2,000 transactions per second (tps) if we want to get to that number we need 540 MB blocks. 2000 transaction/second * 60 second * 10 Min (1 block) = 1,200,000 transactions * 450 Byte on average tx size = 540,000,000 Byte or ~540 MB unless your goals for scaling is A LOT smaller than this, there is no point in increasing the block size alone for scaling. I don't see 540 MB blocks as a problem at all. People download fullHD and 4k video streams every day at their laptop while running youtube. There is enough bandwidth and space for big blocks these days. |

There is lots of good potential coins snovio, electroneum , Trx, dimcoin will reach atleast good growth in next couple of months for sure . Even you can bet for doge coin and dcn if your time is right you may get huge profit.
Not every coin has great potential. If coin has some 3 billions marketcap it's just big risk without big reward part. Low marketcap coins can make big returns after gaining some popularity, big marketcap coins already got all attention from media and can't make easy x100. |

I just can't think about coin with > $100 millions marcetcap as a low cap coin. Low marketcap is less than 10 millions in my book, it's better even less than a million.

People just abandon bitcoin and moving to cryptocurrencies. Why do they need a store of value if they can have both store of value and a currency? So, why should one use bitcoin and not litecoin or monero? The reason? Because public invested in bitcoin brand so much?

As far as I know waves is not really decentralised platform. They deleted some tokens before from their "decentralised exchanges" for political reasons. Place with political censorship is actually something what decentralised exchange supposed NOT to be.

to be safe i just choose coin with high marketcap
so i choose from 100 coin in coinmarketcap.com and i found that
DigitalNote
Dent
PACcoin
Experience Po...
Kin
ReddCoin
Dentacoin
Dogecoin
Bytecoin
Siacoin
but forget dofe, that's a temporary movement i think
just look chart a year before
By investing in high marketcap coins you have big risk and low potential reward. It's not easy to move the price up in coins with high marketcap while there is huge probability of price moving down. It's not safe at all to buy pumped coins ATH. |

I think it's better to look at REALLY low marketcap coins.
Big traders don't bother with them and new traders can get best returns for small investments.
It's easy to make x10 on low marketcap coins.
To move top coins x10 something really big should happen.
