Tron is among the worst altcoins out there that didn't have any real development or innovation in it but at the same time millionaires behind it that have been hyping the project day and night. they even bought bittorrent brand to use it to advertise their crapcoin. all these news that we see is part of that hype they started and news sites are enjoying anything that is hot no matter if it is negative or positive or even real.
462  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Store of Value Coin, other than Bitcoin, which one ? on: July 25, 2019, 06:55:04 AM
none of them!

altcoins are either suffering from bad supply designs such as having unlimited supplies, very huge supplies that are considered unlimited in practice,... which is sometimes also combined with some shadiness such as premines and ICOs.
or they have no future in first place because they copied some other project (90% of times bitcoin) and messed things up trying to change the variables so they became useless.
as a result they have no long term potential to make them "store of value" unless you are ok with losing a large percentage of your money in the long run.

Grin that you mentioned falls under the first category of having a bad supply distribution/totals design.
Monero can be a good option but that still has some serious scaling issues. but at least it has interesting feature and is actively being developed.
ETH that you also mentioned is not because it falls under the category of unlimited supply and also has the downside of not being immutable.
463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I need a dice site that rolls whole numbers. on: July 25, 2019, 06:41:25 AM
I thought OP was joking but was surprise this kind of dice really exist.

If I can also ask one question here, what's the difference between the 2? like their advantage and disadvantage. ?
I would appreciate if you find my post relevant to the topic.

there is absolutely no difference between rolling 1, 2, 3,... and rolling 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,... as long as the number of possibilities are the same and the house edge is the same and the calculations are the same (no bug like rounding,...). it is like rolling two actual dices one with dots on it (1 dot=1, 2dots=2,...) or write actual numbers on it (1, 2, 3....6) the result is the same.

i also think what veleten said above is false. the multiplier (like 100x) depends on how much the dice  site is flexible on letting its users have a chance of winning big. otherwise you can give the same multipliers on any value range. for example in freebitco.in you can roll whole numbers (from 0 to10000) and the multiplier goes as high as 4750
464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Provably Clean Money on: July 25, 2019, 06:28:57 AM
I don't know why everyone is so paranoid about Bitcoin being used for money laundering, like yes: it happens. But there are a lot more efficient and easier ways to launder money, via existing methods. Plus Bitcoin is just a hassle and fluctuates way too much for anyone to want to consistently launder money through.

it is because when you are bombarded by articles about how bitcoin is being used by money launderers many people eventually start believing in it even if it really doesn't happen! it goes so deep that eventually those who started the lie believe it themselves too, which is why all these companies like what OP is talking about are being created to sell their services to those people pretending they are "finding" people and linking their transactions together.
465  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Good news to crypto:Coinbase has passed 30million users this month on: July 25, 2019, 06:19:15 AM
Why is more users on a centralized exchange 'Good news to crypto'? Ridiculous! Roll Eyes

it is not and it is at the same time!
basically when the adoption grows it means the number of all types of users is growing. both those who are in for the decentralization and want to fully benefit from it, and also those that don't get the point of decentralization but at the same time they still want to use bitcoin.
not to mention that many of these users will slowly learn more about bitcoin and migrate to "real bitcoin wallets" and that means Coinbase was a great starting point to introduce bitcoin to a lot of people who want an easy entrance instead of being subjected to a lot of complications on their first day.
466  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins That Has Went to $0 Price? on: July 24, 2019, 08:12:16 AM
i believe your confusion comes from the fact that most people when they call a coin "dead" they don't mean its price falling down to absolute zero. which is probably what you have heard. they said 85% of the altcoins died not just dropped down to zero.
a dead coin is usually a coin that has no usage and no point to exist and has been falling ever since it was created. they usually had a high volume in a couple of days when they were created and then lost it and now have a volume less than 0.01BTC per day and a price less than 1 satoshi.
467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Projects Paying Out in Bitcoin or Ethereum Instead of Bounty Native Token on: July 24, 2019, 07:58:35 AM
I think it will be more preferable to have rewards paid in bitcoin or ethereum

obviously YOU would prefer that because you are the receiver but the owners would hate it because now they would have to "spend money" whereas before it didn't cost them anything at all. you see when you create a token out of thin air, it doesn't cost you anything since you get the whole 100% of them for free. so paying in those tokens that you created for free is preferable to the token owners which is why they do it in first place. but paying in something else like bitcoin means they have to go spend money and buy bitcoin to be able to pay and that costs so they never do it.
468  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I lost my confidence... And fought to get it back. on: July 24, 2019, 07:33:23 AM
the problem with this market is that it can give a lot of the newcomers a false sense of confidence specially during certain periods of time where it is easy to trade. you just have to close your eyes and select an altcoin to make profit. for example 2017. that year ruined a lot of people and emptied their pockets because they thought they were expert traders just because they made some lucky bets on the market. then when the actual market showed its face and they started losing money by making the same "bets" they slowly realized their "confidence" was a sham.
only those who learn from their mistakes can come back to the market and continue on.
469  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Good news to crypto:Coinbase has passed 30million users this month on: July 24, 2019, 07:21:33 AM
So we have 30 Million people stripped of their financial privacy.  Roll Eyes  Satoshi wanted people to buy and sell bitcoins between each other, without any third party services adding fees and causing security exploits for the users. <Note : Most coins hacked are through weak security on third party exchanges>

existence of these services which actually make adoption of bitcoin super easy for a lot of people who will never bother with complicated stuff is not such a bad thing in my opinion. and this stat (30 million) is the proof of two things, bitcoin adoption is still growing even with all the drama and FUD and also proves my point about a lot of people who want much easier ways of entering bitcoin.
470  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does Tether supply keeps growing(stable coin) on: July 23, 2019, 07:12:28 AM
it is partly because there is no law preventing them from printing any amount they like so they keep on doing it.
but there is also another reason that people overlook and that is "demand". if you look at the altcoin market, it has been growing and more and more people have been demanding fiat markets so that they could trade their shitcoins with something that has a stable value. but since altcoin exchanges want to escape regulations and don't want to add fiat they have been adding stable coins.
tether being the popular one, attracts people.

now considering the fact that when bitcoin falls, altcoins get dumped hard, they always want an stable coin to go to. and that increases the demand for tether and they have to print more of it to be able to answer to that demand.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC and the $5 hammer on: July 23, 2019, 06:41:29 AM
almost all of those who are gambling with bitcoin are doing it because they can do it without the headaches of KYC and without revealing their identity specially since they could be subjected to hefty taxation in certain jurisdictions under tax laws that want to take a share of your winnings. not to mention that with bitcoin and the fact that it does not have any charge back capabilities there is absolutely no reason for these gambling sites to ask for KYC related documents, they do that in fiat world to protect themselves against those who charge back, use stolen credit cards,... and also to abide by regulatory laws. none of which exist in cryptocurrency world!
472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain Technology: The Hype, Scope and Demand on: July 23, 2019, 06:00:51 AM
It is still a fact that the DLT has shown significant potential in transforming various sectors, now there are more organizations that are willing to adopt this technology and are finding ways of how they will be able to implement it in their own businesses.

and do you have any actual examples of a real organization/sector that has actually adopted this technology and is currently working with it?
because for over 2 years i have been hearing the same exact thing about how different sectors are "improving" by adopting the blockchain technology and whenever i check the "real world" i see nobody even paying any attention to blockchain. and then when i think about it, i see that blockchain is not even going to work in 90% of them.
473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Cryptocurrency? on: July 23, 2019, 05:52:23 AM
Not Bitcoin?

Nope. Bitcoin is just the first one that actually became decently successful and actually gained recognition everywhere. Most people just haven't heard of the past attempts for a global currency just because they weren't successful.

Read this: https://www.investopedia.com/tech/were-there-cryptocurrencies-bitcoin/

What made bitcoin survive is that it is decentralized. There is no central point which can be attacked and shut down.

Past attempts to create a digital currency all failed because they were not decentralized and/or because they couldn't solve double spending.

Nicely said. Good to see some lessons from the past history of cryptocurrency. Right now, when we talk about cryptocurrency the standard is of course Bitcoin and anything that is centralized like the newcomer Libra or even the Ripple we usually can say that those are not at par and should not be compared with Bitcoin with some even saying that those are not cryptocurrencies at all.

they ARE cryptocurrencies by definition because the definition of a crypto-currency is a currency that is based on "crypto-graphy", in that definition there is no talk of decentralization. we add that later because the original (biggest) thing we all know is bitcoin and it is decentralized.
the coins such as Libra, XRP, BCH,... are bad because they are centralized and this technology is working best and is desirable as long as it is used decentralized.
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why Tron price is increasing 11.24 better than other altcoin? on: July 22, 2019, 07:31:07 AM
you can't just create a new article on your website every time some random altcoin is getting a pump! i have seen your topic in this board that you just create random articles about random coins. you are just lowering the value of your website and now it is considered a clickbait yellow site.
what happens is that pumpers are pumping altcoins every day. but each day it is a new coin instead of repeating it for the same coins because they have thousands of options to choose from and pumping an unpumped coin is always easier.
475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: THE FUTURE HOLD FOR ALTCOINS? on: July 22, 2019, 07:17:16 AM
you are confusing or intentionally misusing a couple of things with each other. there is a difference between media calling bitcoin a bubble, bitcoin being in a bubble from time to time, and altcoins being big bubbles.

media is usually full of shit and is just posting clickbaits and should not be taken seriously.
as for bitcoin, it has bubbles at times and they can not be denied. for example the $20k price  was a big bubble but that doesn't mean you  can call bitcoin itself a "bubble" at any time and expect its price to fall!
and you can't make the same conclusion for altcoins just because bitcoin is not a bubble! that doesn't work like that. every project is stand alone and we have more than 2000 altcoins in existence most of which should not even be alive which means they are in a 100% bubble and need to be destroyed not just dumped! additionally there are a lot of altcoins that are currently worth a lot more than their intrinsic values specially among top 10 altcoins which make them in big bubbles.
476  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the most important lesson you have learned in trading. on: July 22, 2019, 06:50:50 AM
2 important things:
- bag holding altcoins is never a good idea
- setting a fixed profit target in each trade and never deviating from that.

of course these two go hand in hand. which means in practice whenever i enter an altcoin, i enter those that are pumping and then i set a profit target for myself to cash out as soon as i hit that target and i always try to stick to it even if i saw the pump going on i still get out to secure my profit.
477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One week in Bitcoin July 2019 on: July 22, 2019, 06:29:34 AM
It is always good to talk about a certain project, either positively, negatively or speculatively, because that way people are interested and then the picture becomes clearer, because the truth is that cryptocurrencies offer many advantages to the economy and adapt very well to the present time, little by little cryptocurrencies are gaining ground, until a day when their use and acceptance will be global.

there is a huge difference between talking about a project which is also called constructively criticizing the project and with spreading FUD and nonsense about that project! the keywords used in that tweet such as "out of thin air", "drug trafficking", and the news in OP "fraud" are pure bullshit. you can't really call it criticism.
478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In 10 years from now a quantum computer on: July 22, 2019, 06:18:47 AM
In 10 years from now a quantum computer will have sufficient computation power to give a 51% attack on the bitcoin network.

Please discuss.

no, you first discuss why you think in 10 years a system (quantum computer) that is not capable of producing hashrate and is not even designed for that is going to be able to suddenly produce such an unbelievably huge hashing power that could attack bitcoin!
479  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nano is better than Bitcoin! Do you hold any? on: July 20, 2019, 06:40:19 AM
LOL another delusional newbie who has read some altcoin advertisement online and now thinks he has found some "superior" and "new" technology compared to bitcoin while not knowing that majority of altcoins are exact copies of bitcoin and the things they change always lead to less security and serious flaws in them.

investment-wise, since that is what OP is interested in, NANO is a terrible investment because of its huge supply that has no control and is on the boarder of being unlimited and that gives it such a huge inflation.
not to mention that in all these years that it has existed, it doesn't even have a single real adoption case. how can it be so much better as OP claims and still be useless?
480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A way to dump without having a huge impact of value on: July 20, 2019, 06:23:28 AM
actually the drop in price has nothing to do with size of the amount the dumpers dump on the market. it is all about lack of demand for tokens and altcoins that are useless. so it doesn't matter how much and how you dump the tokens it will crash the market since there is nobody there to buy that token anyways. everyone has just gambled and invested in that token to try their lock in a short term to see how much they can pump it and how much profit they can get. as soon as they feel like the pumping fuel has run out, they make their exit.
