please this threads topic is about the OP's guide for altcoins, tis not a promote your own shitcoin thread , you can always start your own thread if you want to discussion coins outside the OP's choices  

holding longterm until its used as a genuine proper currency.

anyways though from a daytraders perspective missing the initial pump in ftc aint always a bad thing, look at previous ftc pumps they've gone for many days, eg the big pump last year people selling at 4000 sat (up from 500 odd sats at the low point) missed the 17000sat 7 days later  .

silly idea for 2 reasons.

1) means leaving coins on an exchange 

2) everyone putting sell orders up reduces the chance someone would even try to pump it.

hardly any ie none of the XEM pushers mention the fact that XEM distribution was scammed by the distributor., in a big way.

trading vol itself is no indicator of the merit or value of a coin. many a scamcoin has huge vol, plenty of genuine cryptos being worked on quietly by quality dev teams have no volume at all.

for scamcoins its not so hard to use bots to fake volume., in order to keep your scam running., once you've made your btc/fiat, bail start a new scamcoin, which these exchanges will happily list, leaving the bagholders from you previous scam with nothing.

delisting based on low trading vol in reality is extremely bad for crypto and assists the multiple scam coin makers.

i haven't been scaring people into selling anything  , and there is no way i could possibly advise people to sell; for the very simple reason that i wouldn't advise anyone to buy Maxcoin 2.0 in the first place.

its not all about profits at all, its i believe people should not get involved in any crypto that purely designed to enrich one or a small group of people (doesn't mean a few people can't tag along and equally make a profit)
....its all meant to be an alternative to the greedy bankers fiat (which keiser himself preachers abouts ad nauseam)...no point if those behind crypto just become the new breed of greedy bankers.

you know you've lost all credibility with you're constant insults rather then debating the facts on merit.

well thats just the thing, to any large holder liquidity is more important then price. liquidity has been low, so any large holder is simply waiting for any increase in liquidity to offload....simply part of trading 101.

no misrepresentation of reality; that Keiser resigned as director Oct 2016, distances himself from startcoin, yet still retains (and is the only person that retains) a "significant control" eg a big stash of coins that could be dumped on a whim at anytime  

hi Spoetnik,
                don't take this as me suddenly being anti litecoin. i still think litecoin is one of the very few honest coins e.g. it wasn't created merely to make the devs fiat (like 99.7% of other alts).

simply the path of the developers, at this point in time, does not fit with what i think is the way forward for cryptocurrency., doesn't mean they, or I am wrong or right.

you could potentially have a scenario where the things tested for bitcoin work with litecoin but bitcoin for whatever reason doesn't or can't implement them (eg segwit, LN), that would be big for LTC and anyone investing in LTC.


cheers

well i can think of atleast one painfully obvious reason why  


which validates the rating  

come on i'm sure you're smarter then that, you got to be seeing the real big issue with what you are highlighting 

you mean; https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08624882/persons-with-significant-control   

i can say with 100% confidence that any whale who dumped around that time has zero regrets.

i've been a longtime advocate of litecoin but now i've happily bailed.

had been told by various litecoin devs and Coblee, that there are things being worked on (that i wasn't happy with), that are just being tested and not necessarily added.
now i've been around enough company management/government to know things being tested are always exceedingly likely to be added. opponents are always fobbed off with "oh we're just testing that".....right up until its too late to change course.

so now i see the first stage of this, well its time for me to give up any fight (knowing full well certain devs are pigheaded enough to push their ideas through with little regard for supporters, so opposition is pretty pointless).

Also many of us supported Litecoin because it was an alternative to Bitcoin (plenty of us unhappy ages back with the path dev of bitcoin where taking and what bitcoin was becoming), now in rhetoric and in develpment we are seeing Litecoin become essentially a testnet for Bitcoin.

i didn't invest in litecoin to be a testnet for bitcoin, so now i must look elsewhere for a genuine alternative to bitcoin.

as i've said many times in the past; the only thing good to ever come out of Cryptocurrency (including Bitcoin), to this point in history, is, the idea.
 

with 99.9% (+ 0.1% error) of those other alts being created to make the devs fiat., defeating the whole purpose of p2p currency.

just the heads up; when you resort to petty name calling your argument loses all credibility in most peoples eyes., so you're doing yourself no favors.

  says the one doing the name calling just a few post back, practice what you preach.

no but maxcoin being created for the purpose of making Max Keiser fiat, and being left to die after he dumped his (on a pump), does make maxcoin a scam.



see above, and the link i posted, many previous people who have worked with max call him out as a scammer, simple google search you'll find constant behavior like this from him.

yeah you could ride it off as a poorly thought out endeavor by him,...hmmm..well once, but a history of it (well before btc even existed if you do your research), a pattern starts to emerge.



read into it whatever you want, i can't do much about your imagination, but i've not been giving anyone trading advice on startcoin (unlike the guy who keeps yelling bottom   ), the only advice i've given is to DYOR on the clown behind Startcoin.

people here are smart enough to make up their own minds and make their own trading decisions. doesn't hurt to give them information. but see you seem to be scared of anyone giving holders any information you don't personally want them to hear, because you are heavily invested and currently caught in a loss  

personally i'm not invested, so for myself don't care, but for others here, i can say with complete honesty i hope eveyone does well off startcoin, i hope my post/opinion wakes Max up to do the right thing so such a coin can be a win win, rather then a win for him and a loss for investors. if he followed through he could even do better if he had half a brain (and wasn't just a mouth).......but thats a salesperson for you.

iamnotback ........you had me at ICO 


(had me skipping this thread).

i rebounded fine from the slight loss i took in maxcoin (via ftc which got a crazy pump after i bought with the funds from bailing from maxcoin, so i was kinda happy with the timing of the bittrex delisting warning), so no personal bitterness here.

i am concerned for this community of repeat crypto scam offenders by which Max Keiser most certainly is, 2 minutes of research would uncover that.

now you've been caught on the wrong side of the trade, you'r losing in StartCoin...,no?  and will defend it to the death in order to get your money back, but some of us traders aren't like that, we call it how it is whether in means taking a loss or not.

this is more then about personal profit or loss, i think p2p currency have hue potential to change society for the better, but scams that tarnish crypto hurt the efforts to have this potential realised.

as for you suggestion of me wanting to buy Startcoin at a low and FUDing to do so, yet in the same paragraph you say I am bitter for a bad trading decision in Max's preveiois coin  sorry why would i follow one bad investment with the next by the same scammer
