3 days in a row where site has gone down during the day.
You would think a company seeking evaluation as being worth a Billion dollars would be able to keep their site online.
Or hire support to actually answer tickets. (Still waiting 3 weeks to hear from support.)

DO NOT USE COINBASE IF YOU HAVE ANY OPTION OF ALTERNATIVE!
YOUR MONEY IS NOT SAFE WITH THIS COMPANY.

You know its bad when Vitalik Buterin is getting sick of ICO scams
considering ETH is mainly used for ICOs right now.

We ICO bubble now boys.
Make some money while you can and get the fuck out before this shit comes crashing to the ground.
In five years (maybe less) this ICO thing is going to be a wasteland.
Most of these companies don't actually do anything but make a coin and put it up for offer on the exchanges.

The whole market is red right now.
This is the best time to buy if you have some extra money. In a couple days or a few weeks you might have 20% profit when things go green again.

People are scared of an upcoming hardfork.

Jihan Wu is either a fucking idiot or a genius. We will know in a couple months, I guess.
Either he is spreading FUD and shorting the hell out of the market (genius)
or destroying his own fortune due to hubris and ego (idiot).

Doesn't Kwuckduck love ETH though?
ETH is also dropping so he might not be 100% happy.

VIA seems like a good long-term investment but don't expect to get rich overnight.
Dev is solid but one man project right now, so it may take a while to get going.
Buy the dips, HODL and in a year or two from now I expect big profits.

ICOS are the new crypto bubble so ETH will probably go up for a while before the ICO bubble bursts.
Just today Alex Van de Sande of the Etherium foundation pointed out that there are ICOs (Primalbase being one) claiming to be affiliated with the ETH foundation or that Vitalik Buterin is an adviser on the project when he is not,
which is actual proof that some of these ICOs are being run by liars who will probably steal your money.

There is a really good article about ETH and ICOs:

If you don't follow WhalePanda hes a really smart investor and definitely worth checking out.

My only issue with Yobit is the number of coins with wallet in maintenance mode.
Always check the wallet status of random coins before you invest too much because unless the developer contacts support it may not be fixed for a long time.

I've moved several bitcoins worth of money to and from Yobit in the last couple months.
I have also been part of their signature campaign for almost a year and never had one issue with the site.

You can actually make a lot of money since there are always big gains on random coins getting pumped.

Be careful if you invest in this coin.
Coinmarketcap shows the market cap at just over $500,000.
But that is only because the Circulating Supply is low right now.
There are inactive wallets holding millions of coins.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cpc/
Shows there are 200,988,583 outstanding coins.
Which means the market cap should actually be $114.89 Million.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cpc/#!wallets
shows several wallets holding 5 to 10 million coins

Someone may be trying to unload their coins slowly onto the market.

I hope this is true.
I noticed the large volume on Chinese site Yuanbao and have been buying this coin the last few weeks for speculation.
Still under $7 million market cap so this could easily double if there is some big deal coming.

I would advise against using Jaxx wallet, as the private keys are not encrypted and anyone who gets access to your device can easily get your password.

Now that the vulnerability has been made public there are already reports of hacked wallets:

"I bought $20 worth of Bitcoins and it was fine so the site must be working!"

Have you looked at the forums?
There are multiple people with 5 figures taken from their bank account weeks ago and still nothing in their Coinbase account,
page after page of people with missing coins in their accounts or randomly locked accounts with money in it and no response from support for weeks/ months.

Go on the Coinbase support forums or Reddit forum.
Page after page of people unable to access their accounts, weeks or months with no response from support.
Now there are many instances of people having their account locked right after making a large purchase/ bank transfer...
People sending coins to or from Coinbase but never having them show up...

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/comments/6gni7t/all_transaction_confirmed_but_not_showing_in_my/
(These are just a couple examples. There are literally pages of people with suddenly locked accounts, missing coins, etc.)

This shows all the signs of a Ponzi scheme about to collapse.
If you have any coins on Coinbase and still have access to your account, I suggest you withdraw them right now.
(If you are still able to...)

ReddID is a good concept, but unless it got a direct affiliation with a major website, it won't be of much use.
You really think your grandma is going to install a Chrome browser addon, claim her tip coins and then know what to do with them?

IDK maybe some cam site picks this up and camgirls start getting tips in reddcoin, but unless that happens this project seems a little overvalued right now.
I made money on the pump but sitting this out for now.

Thanks to whoever dumped their bags and filled my buy order.

There are tons of coins in the #50-100 position on Coinmarketcap with no actual developer, no website, no updates.
Taking a small gamble on FTC is a really good position IMO.
I'm reading the forums and its good to know people still care about this coin.
This could still 2x by the time block reward halves.

"The MTP (Merkle Tree Proof) algorithm was devised by Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich from the University of Luxembourg in their paper published on the 11 June 2016 titled Egalitarian Computing. These are the same researchers who came up with Equihash that is currently used in ZCash and the Argon2 key derivation function."

I don't know much about the algorithm other than its based on Merkle Tree hashing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree

https://zcoin.io/what-is-mtp-merkle-tree-proof-and-why-it-is-important-to-zcoin/
says it should mean the coin is ASIC resistant, able to be mined on CPU/GPU, and provide quick verification for devices like smartphones.
Sound interesting and would be great to see this as the first coin to implement this.

Digibyte RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently around 30.
People are overreacting and dumping it hard.

Right now might be the best time to buy DGB in the last couple months actually.
I don't think its going back to 2000 sat anytime soon, but 1500 or so is probably realistic in the next couple months.

We need to find coins with a $10-20 million market cap for big gains.
A coin already valued at $200-500 million is not going to get you 10x or 100x returns.

Looking to make that jet money not a couple hundred dollars.

My prediction:
short term price drop, may go to 1600/ 1500 range.
Long term its still a good project. Will eventually hit the 2000 range again, but not based on the Minecraft integration.
Digusign and features like this are what will give DGB value. No idea on how successful it will be or timeframe, though.

Humaniq ICO was 1 month ago.
They are hiring more people, staying in touch with the community and doing a lot of work behind the scenes.
Reminds me of Factom. A year ago people were complaining the project was going nowhere. Now we are at $30 a coin.
HMQ is probably a good long term investment at the current price.
