1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SHIT COINS WILL ALWAYS DISAPPOINT on: April 28, 2019, 09:58:45 PM
Bro, when it comes down to it, all coins are "shit coins". None have actually finished their development and been adopted as their primary use case. Just be careful when messing with low cap coins.

2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do lot of people hate bounty dumpers? on: April 26, 2019, 03:13:19 PM
I've seen lot's of people who complain to bounty hunters who dump their tokens after they get them. Why hate them? They have all the rights to sell whenever they want and bounty allocations are only 1%-5% of the total supply of the coin. I don't think it will do much to lower the price of the coin. I mean it's even good for the ICO investors as they will have a chance to buy more tokens with lesser price than the ICO.

Holding the tokens also doesn't mean it will make you rich. Some tokens get abandon by the developers so it would be better to sell at a good price than be left hanging in the end.

When new coins list there is usually very little liquidity and not many people buying. This means that it really doesn't take much to drop the price significantly. I think the reason many people have an issue with it is that bounty hunters have zero risk. They haven't put their money on the line by investing and have lost nothing but a small amount of time if the price tanks.

That being said, many ICOs don't get many investors these days anyway so I personally don't have much problem with it. It might actually come round and bite the bounty dumpers in the end if the coin decides to grow exponentially in the future.

^^^ You and I (average people) might talk honestly with a Jew and a Muslim. But the Muslim won't talk honestly, because he has Islam larceny in his heart. And the Jew is simply too shrewd to be honest, except when it is clearly to his advantage.

Cool

When Muslims mistreat Christians and Jews it actually goes against the quran and against the life example of Muhammad where he offered Christians protection from persecution on more than one occasion.

The quran actually considers Jews and Christians to be "people of the book" (https://al-quran.info/#3:199) and basically states that other people of the book will be rewarded in heaven (https://al-quran.info/#2:62).

The Marrakesh Declaration was signed in 2016 by over 250 Muslim religious leaders/heads of state and declares it “unconscionable to employ religion for the purpose of aggressing upon the rights” of Christians or Jews as well as other minorities in Muslim-majority nations.

So you see, the mistreatment of Christians or Jews by Muslims is not only Un-Islamic, It's Anti-Islamic, and you would think if you were going to make wild claims like yours you would actually attemp to back it up with some evidence.

If you are bag holding tokens that you cant sell then its unlucky but there is nothing you can do about it. Either wait and hope that when the bull market returns you will be able to clear them or just forget about it and make wiser investments in the future.

The whole point of altcoins and ICOs is that they are easy to launch and are low risk, high reward for the person running them.

If they make a project and it fails, who cares? It doesn't cost much to start a project at the beginning. The real investment comes later when you are actually building the product. If the project is actually decent and is a success, then it has the potential to make millions of dollars worth of value out of nothing.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 alternative coins to invest now for 2020 on: April 22, 2019, 09:53:04 PM
I'm not sure you should be just asking for people's advice with this. You need to read around a lot and familiarise yourself with the big projects. Maybe look at the top 20 coins and pick some that look good to you. After that maybe expand into lesser known ALTs.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Getting by the day on: April 22, 2019, 09:50:46 PM
I think icos made good profits in the beginning because they were new and people wanted to get into good projects at the early level. I think that is still the case to an extent but if any ico is going to make it big they are going to have to be a huge project that gets a massive amount of attention. Maybe if like a huge company did an ico it would likely succeed.

I think the whole mystery surrounding satoshi actually helps the bitcoin scene tbh. A bit of speculation and conspiracy theories bring attention to it and actually help.

In reality, I think satoshi doesn't want to be known because if bitcoin actually smashed the traditional financial system he could become a big target for people with power who don't want that to happen.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON - worth investing? on: April 22, 2019, 05:25:47 PM
Even though i think Tron is a bit of a gimmick project with a very loud CEO, I would still say an investment might me feasible on a purely speculative basis. If only to take advantage of the fact that it has a pretty large following of people and has a good chance to have a nice run in the future.

As far as fundamentals are concerned I'm not sure it has anything special tbh though.

Mate, brexit party and UKIP are small scale. They literally have no say in the house of commons. They have a total of zero MPs between them.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC defeats the purpose of Crypto. Thoughts anyone? on: April 18, 2019, 10:54:02 AM
I mean I get it, exchanges, ICO's, etc, want to be on the safe side -- although what I really object to is these places accepting my crypto first and then telling me that I need to give them a mugshot if I want to use it, or withdraw it again. It's a nightmare.
I deeply understand if exchanges or wallets that we are using requires KYC, but when it comes to ICO — a new coin in the market? That's a big NO because I can't see the sense at all. We know and they know to themselves that they're coin is still insignificant and not yet influential so why would they require our personal infos? This kind of scenario can be compared to a man buying a bottled water in the convenience store but need to tell his name first before paying, seems pointless right?

If that will be the new system in every ICOs which will be released then probably I'm sticking to bitcoin forever.

I think the reason ICOs want KYC is so that they are future compliant against SEC action. We've already seen the SEC look into Ethereum and other altcoins as into whether they are securities or not and I think ICOs just want to cover their own backs.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC defeats the purpose of Crypto. Thoughts anyone? on: April 18, 2019, 10:49:36 AM
I agree with you about KYC being annoying but it is all part of regulatory compliance that the space needs to go through to be legitimised. You can still trade on decentralized exchanges without verifying your identity.

The only real hurdle to get through without having to provide KYC is getting your FIAT money into crypto through places like coinbase or kraken. There are still places where you can do that anonymously though like localbitcoins.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do your research before investing in ICOs on: April 18, 2019, 10:42:42 AM
You shouldn't be making any investments without doing deep research beforehand and that is universally true.  It does appear that ICOs have more than their fair share of risk associated with them though and they are an easy method for scammers to take people's money.

The ICO market is nowhere near as lucrative in recent years and I would look at any investment in them as a speculative long term investment.  Short term success from ICOs just doesn't exist in the current market and it is usually more cost effective to buy on an exchange after they are officially listed.

What do you mean by a soul? and what would happen to you if you sold it?

I guess it only matters if you believe in religion and believe in some sort of life after you die.  If death is the end and you aren't held responsible for your actions on Earth then why not do whatever you can while you are here to make the most of it.

I agree with him on the fundamentals of free speech and censorship but I think some of his opinions are misguided.  The first amendment applies to the US congress and not private companies like Google or Facebook and tbh the only way to make it apply to them would be for them to be state owned. I'm sure you can appreciate the problems that would come along if that was the case.

Point being, Google, Facebook and all the others have the right to deny access to their platform as they see fit.  That's not to say that I think they should, only that they legally can.

I don't really see how it can be stopped other than by boycotting their services.

In order for you argument to be valid, taxation would have to be exclusive to Capitalism. Unfortunately for your argument Socialism/Communism either tax you EVEN MORE heavily, or strip your right to private property at all. Kind of hard to take the family farm when it already belongs to dear leader right?

Fair enough, It's a valid point that inheritance tax is not exclusive to capitalism, although it was the corporate buyout that seemed more in line with capitalism.

Also, I find it very interesting that you are using the very argument I am using to argue against Socialism/Communism within our capitalist system to blame Capitalism when my entire point was that it is a policy directly from The 10 Planks of Communism to remove inheritance rights. Under Capitalism that was not infected with Communism, there would be no inheritance tax because that income has already been taxed multiple times.

Gotta disagree on this one. If inheritance tax was a symptom of capitalism infected with communism, how did England introduce "death duty" (a form of early inheritance tax) before 1700, long before communism was thought up?

You see Communism REQUIRES Capitalism to operate, but Capitalism does not require Communism to operate, as a result Communism will always appear within Capitalist systems, not independently of them. Of course this makes convenient fodder for simple minded folk to create this weird cognitive defect of binary choice which makes it easier to superficially make it appear their projections make sense.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, surely the USSR and the China Republic were communist countries independent of capitalism, at least at the beginning?
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Take the profit OR hold on on: April 09, 2019, 10:50:48 AM
I'd say it would definitely be beneficial in the long run to take some profits now. Maybe not the whole amount but the current bullish sentiment will ease and prices will drop in the next few weeks. Maybe tether 50% and wait to see what happens with the rest.

I thought I would put together a list of useful terms with definitions so that perhaps some of the new wave of Marxists by another name can maybe learn enough to have a tiny bit of self awareness. After all without self awareness you can't improve now can you?

PROJECTION
NARCISSISM
MALIGNANT NARCISSISM
COLLECTIVE NARCISSISM
ENABLING BEHAVIOR
NORMALIZATION
HYSTERIA
MASS HYSTERIA
MUNCHHAUSEN SYNDROME
MUNCHHAUSEN BY PROXY
HISTRONIC BEHAVIOR


I'm struggling to understand how you think these disorders are linked with the left wing and not just society in general. I would associate Narcissism with capitalism in terms of being materialistic for a start.  It just seems like you are very biased against the left if I'm honest.
