Sorry for stupid question maybe..
Is any similar topic to this one about altcoins and their news? I like this very active topic format (something similar even with chat) but sometimes want to discuss alts also
The Monero speculation thread is similiar, I think. Also, several regular posters here post there as well. As for a general alt speculation thread - no, AFAIK. Similar threads have been attempted, but they just turn into an endless stream of shilling.

my latest tactic for idiots who try to tell me what bitcoin is or isn't or simply people I don't really like ... I try to talk them into buying altcoins, especially ether and ripples tokens, give it the good old pump.
them: what do you think is going on with bitcoin, is it going up?
me: ah, i don't know it's a volatile market anything can happen.
them: should I buy some now or I've missed the boat and have you heard about ether/ripple/litecoin/eos?
me(triggered): yeah you should definitely buy lots of ether, it's the best thing out, once in a lifetime opportunity! (unsaid :to lose all your life savings) ...
... so sick of people asking about crypto and then talking about "blockchain" or shitcoins. Shitcoin scams in our time is a bigger net loser than Mt. Gox, whose customers will actually be made whole in fiat.
Despite my protests and my strong encouragement to buy bitcoin instead, my best friend bought a bunch of ETH at $300 last summer. Bitcoin was around $3,000 at that time. You literally cannot talk any sense into some people. They're determined to throw their money away. I think they are the ones that know you were right all along but want to get in and do it a little different than what you said so they can say "see I was right". Even though they don't have the facts there seems to be a inordinate amount of people on this earth that seem to think they are born with knowledge and discount research as fake news. True What does he mean, Ver ratted out his Dad when he was 16?
I had to look that one up too. In addition, entrepreneurship played as large a role then as it does now. He started by selling candy bars and pocketing $50 per week. By his 16th birthday, he had saved enough money to purchase himself a white Ford Mustang. His parents largely disapproved of the purchase, and in retaliation, his father placed an ad in the local paper to sell the white Ford Mustang. When Ver called the police, his father was told that they would arrest him if he did not withdraw the ad. This sequence of events caused his parents to kick him out of his house. https://blockonomi.com/roger-ver-profile/

All nice, but i think it is impossible to rate all coins other than bitcoin to be shitcoins.
Yes, for this thread and any bitcoin thread, it is both possible and reasonable to lump all of them together as shit. Something like this: Also, it's easy said.... shitcoins.
Yes, easy said, in part because it is off topic, have you heard of that? If you do, take an effort in telling wich are not shitcoins.I mean, a few months ago, everyone was wild over etherum (and many still are). Its too easy to call it a shitcoin due to bad weather on the market.
Ok get the fuck out of here, and post in an ethereum thread about your level of loves for ethereum. Personally; why shouldn't i set some auto-buys on ETH for a nice low low price..
Do whatever the fuck you want, and go talk about it somewhere else. Divericating my portofolio for a bargain..
Diversification is overrated, especially if you are deciding to diversify into shit. I mean: its more likely for eth to do 1500 euros, as it would for Bitcoin to do 53000 euro's, right? Both doing X10 from today. Taken from this point it seems like a safe bet..
O.k. Go have fun, and cash out all of your BTC and anything else that you have and place it on the All wonderful ETH...
If not agree'd thats fine, but tell me why with facts, not opinions pls.
I will tell you with a conclusion. Go fuck off with your desire for shit coin discussions to some other thread(s). Welcome to the Wall Observer thread, Dutch!

Yep I also had to downgrade my lifestyle.
Me too tbh, I’ve lived a bit of a false life since last year when I cashed in all my free BCH. HODLING bitcoin is boring as fuck, having all that money but not being able to spend any of it. Fucking cock tease. It’ll all be worth it in a few years though. Same. The funny thing is that I haven't actually cashed out anything. I just looked at my wealth increasing "on paper" last year, and stepped things up accordingly. Ate at fancier restaurants, flew first class, etc. Now I'm back to Taco Bell and flying coach.

Fuck this just capitulated on ETH and sold for BTC.
I'm holding my ETH in hopes we get a pump when futures launch. OTOH, I don't hold enough to lose any sleep over. I believe ETH will probably die, but not yet. Consider the fact that this is the first, brutal bear market for an ETH holder. It must be pretty scary. I believe this helps cause an exaggerated ETH (and other altcoin) decline. There are no war-forged ETH veterans yet.

... But when did whales enter crypto market? ...
Well, if I remember correctly, this term became popular during the peaks from 2013 ($266 and $1242), Mt.Gox, Willy, the Bearwhale and stuff... If someone bought at the 2013 top, he/she/it 'made' ~ 400% as of today (in fiatmoney). You might have bought at the recent $19666 top, not sure what you can expect in five years from now. However, if you bought the top, hodling might be an appropriate strategy. If you're a moderate gambler, cost averaging on the 'way down' could be your strategy. Want to feed the whales? Just sell. If you want your kids to laugh at you in five years, buy shitcoins... If you really want to know when whales entered the market, look back and see what date Satoshi mined the first BTC.

well, as a quite newbie (10 months) in crypto, i have to admit that im losing faith right now. I want to be a holder (yes thats how we write this right?) but what worries me is not the ups and downs itself, but the rediculous drops that happened 3 times now... This means that some people actually can control my money.... again... And i dont like it. Who can garantee that not all bitcoin eventually evaporates? I mine the shit out of my equipment, and all it does this year is lose value... i cant mine enough to even increase in fiat value. Thats hugely dissapointing...
Everyone has a opinion here in bitcointalk, even some experts out there. It ranges from 2k to 150k dec18. How to take anyting in between serious? I see pretty graphs, all made in a way someone thinks instead of based on facts or knowledge, calculations, etc. Whats the value of it? Zilch... Take a look back to all those pretty graphs... I bet none came actually true...
crypto? I think ponzi more and more...
Proof me wrong, please....
Here's a bitcoin chart going back to 2010. How many crashes and bear markets have we had already? Long term, what direction is bitcoin going in?
