All you haters on Monero. Don't you realize it is the future dominant cryptocurrency? Ethereum shitcoin. Litecoin shitcoin. Bitcoin shitcoin. The future is Monero.

Market is still in the day trader and early bird IPO phase. People just saw 5x-10x ROI on Ethereum and yet you're asking them why they aren't coming to NXT: which has slowly been falling in capitalization for months now?
It's simple if you are a believer in NXT technology then you buy some and wait for it to take off. Waiting 5 or 10 years is nothing if the end result is you are early retired and kicking it on some beach in the Caribbean.
Everyone thinks the limit is $18 billion per December 2013. People with foresight know if crypto does take off then it will later be a trillion dollar industry and random alternates will make you rich. It seems surreal but a few thousand or ten thousand people getting rich is a drop in the bucket with 7 billion people in the world.

Nxt is definitely not dying: 1. 1.6 is coming. Features for 1.7 are in progress as well 2. There was a very interesting discussion in the dev maillist recently(not to be disclosed atm) 3. Heavily updated Nxt fork, Burst, got turing-complete scripting(so-called Automated Transaction) so Ethereum tech many months before the Eth. So Nxt can get this on-board very quickly, but for now it's better to watch the experiment aside  So it's no surprise that IBM has been building on ETH for many months. Paul Brody no longer works at IBM and as far as we know IBM Adept was cancelled back in January 2015. |

Vanity? So you mean Ethereum "investors" are full of vanity? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sinsVainglory Main article: Vanity Conversion of the Magdalene' or 'Allegory of Modesty and Vanity by Bernardino Luini, c. 1520 Vainglory (Latin, vanagloria) is unjustified boasting. Pope Gregory viewed it as a form of pride, so he folded vainglory into pride for his listing of sins. |

Nobody wants Bitcoin. The 2013 pump was all Willy Bot (MtGox) and then public personalities who were saying Bitcoin would be $10,000 by Christmas..
Bitcoin's been out since 2009 January, AFAIK, and the Federal Reserve said only 100,000 are using it. CoinBase claims they have millions of users but even Alexa Rank says more people are using Bitcointalk than CoinBase and there's clearly not millions of people posting on here...
Before we say "Bitcoin is MySpace", MySpace had like 50+ million users. Even Alta Vista had more users than Bitcoin. Even Beta Max sold like 18 million machines and yet Bitcoin can't even get more than 100,000 users..

He originally warned us in 2013 right? Today Bitcoin is below $300, so a lot of people did go in between $600-$1250 and lost their life savings.
Warren Buffet, ironically, may had been a fan of Bitcoin if he had known about it in 2009 but by 2013 much of the ROI was already tapped out.

Bitcoin inner circle is talking about removing the 21 million hardcap and making it inflationary forever. Guess what? Vitalik is from that old boys' club.

What is your theory behind Paul Brody's "departure" at IBM? The whole "detergent on blockchain" probably didn't get across to the higher up executives? "You what? You spent our whole budget on SOAP?!" and maybe Brody was "encouraged" to resign?   Or did Brody leave IBM to save himself from an obvious career killer?  |

Can anyone prove this "IBM Adept" is still in development? Paul Brody, who was head of the project, resigned and hasn't worked at IBM since December and does nothing with Ethereum anymore. I can't seem to find any details or updates about IBM Adept except from really old articles, press releases written by Ethereum staff or posts from Ethereum Developers. https://www.linkedin.com/in/pbrodyWhen the last real updates were from January 2015, I am assuming by now IBM Adept has been canned or shutdown.

Will illegal gambling and illegal crowdfunding apps produce mass adoption? Probably not as they're reinventing the wheel when there's sites like GoFundMe and online gambling everywhere. The rest of this list is vaporware or abandoned projects. |

Ethereum is now putting restriction on their reddit page.
What is the Ethereum team so scared of?
The irony is people were saying only Bitcointalk has FUD about Ethereum but the Ethereum subreddit has been full of it for weeks now, even more than Bitcointalk where most people aren't interested in Ethereum. Ethereum, not so shockingly, is finally revealing itself as a 2nd/3rd rate alternate and isn't living up to the hype. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=859614.msg9639265#msg9639265Jesse Powell thought Bitcoin was going to hit $1,000,000 per BTC in 2014. Yeah he sure seems like a great source for price prediction.. This is just like all the "cryptocelebrities" (I use the term lightly) who thought PayCoin was worth more than the $10 it was selling for, or worth more than the $20 price guarantee.

It's only on one exchange and the first day or days of trading is always price discovery. Reality is volume is too low to sustain such high prices, especially when many people are sitting on an overnight ROI between 7x-10x and yet volume is only 137,000.

"The coins were sold partly to pay for lawyers at the beginning of July"
You mean sold when the daily volume was between $10 to $100? I believe you but thousands of others wouldn't. There never enough volume in NODE to do anything like pay for lawyers or prepare for a conference.
Wait until August 18 and TheRealSilk will say: "sorry for your loss" and will be playing the world's smallest violin.

They needed an insider among Bitcoin to sell it and that is why Vitalik Buterin was selected: he was the editor of the magazine and he had all these crypto media connections. Do you think Ethereum could had received its' $18 million without its' Bitcoin manchild? Probably not. It is a command line wallet. The code is described as primitive and rushed out of the gate, likely due to the money woes they have. http://cointelegraph.com/news/115034/ethereum-launches-but-leaked-chat-says-project-needs-years-more"The emails also stated that most of the funding gathered from the Ether crowdsale is used up, and can only sustain the Ethereum development team for another seven months at best." The other 2.0 projects, more developed than Ethereum, are otherwise immature as evident with all their Daaps focused on illegal gambling and various pyramid schemes. Ethereum's daap list is no improvement, FYI. There's no Bitcoin or Litecoin killer on the horizon. Maybe I'll change my assessment by December but I'm skeptical. |

The problem with Bitcoin is deceit is universal. It is hard to tell the facts from the fiction. People who follow Bitcoin blindly listen to and believe anything that comes from the top. One frequent lie is the amount of users of Bitcoin. CoinBase claims they alone have millions of users and yet their web traffic, according to Alexa Rank, is less than Bitcointalk and there is clearly not millions of people using this forum never mind CoinBase. Jeffrey Robinson was probably right where Bitcoin has 250,000 users or less.
If Bitcoin has no adoption after 6-7 years, what chance does Munera have? None. You can swindle the morons on this forum but that only produces a capitalization around $5.4 million.
Good products will result in adoption but good products do not yet exist. All the Daaps for 2.0 currencies like Ethereum, NXT, Bitshares, CounterParty, et cetera - most of them are either illegal gambling (Augur is the latest best example), reinventing the wheel on blockchain, pyramid schemes or perpetual vaporware.

Why is it there is always these people who claimed it was IP based? Granted they did look at IP but this sounds like one sock master beating his drum on his socks. Besides IP detection is worthless because to get a new IP, at most ISPs, all you have to do is unplug the cable box. Granted they could had discriminated against ISPs but as it turns out many Bitcoiners come from a few hubs and you were bound to have coincidences. You can imagine a scenario where many people from San Francisco / New York, Vancouver / Toronto, Amsterdam and Beijing / Hong Kong would be on the same ISP. https://panopticlick.eff.org/Patmast3r's analysis was a fingerprint detection, similar to the above URL. That wasn't the one he used but it is an example of what they look for. My results on that website indicate for someone to have the exact same setting as me is 1 in 40,736,283,289,620,145,920 - 40 quintillion. Meaning I have better odds at winning the lottery (several times) than meeting someone with the exact same configuration. Conclusion: if you got clustered with someone else and proclaimed innocence then you're in the wrong field. You should be going to the local convenience store and should be buying powerball lottery tickets with your luck. |
