Forget about trollbox and watch the order books instead. On Polo there are even warnings about "advice" what you can get in trollbox. Rule of thumb: when those guys are talking about pump and buybuybuy they are already silently piled up a lot from that coin on lower prices and started the moving the price up. So, they need buyers to dump.

1. those dead coins are not dead until there are volume, and Polo only interested in volume and trading fees. Until they can get enough fees they let that coin on the exchange.

2. Trading shitcoins is fine if you know what are you doing.

Everything can be used for illegal transactions. Probably USD in the form of cash is still the most used tool for illegal activities. I guess EUR is the second.

Trading BTC on some big established exchanges is less risky, however the profit is also less lucrative. If you go for alts then use some bigger and more trusted exchanges like Poloniex or Bittrex. But as we recently seen in the case of Cryptsy even using the biggest and oldest exchange isn't a warranty against unexpected losses.

I think this is a very good idea. Soon we will have a host of "second generation" coins with dapps all around, so it would be nice to have a marketplace where we can see the details and compatibility of a dapps in a orderly way.

Depends on how many developers and adventurous companies they can successfully approach. Alternatively if they can hit mayor Chinese exchanges then they don't need any adoption, but everybody will be happy with the exchange rates .

Not really. Everybody talking about how to achieve mass adoption, but nobody doing anything meaningful. Perhaps DOGE was the most widely used coin but because of the lack of real word services it's stagnating. Neucoin is trying to do something to be adopted as a widespread micro transaction coin but I don't see too much success on that yet.

Some discipline can help I guess. Also there are many features on modern phones to cut off the annoying calls/texts/whatever. But shunning an otherwise useful tool because of the lack of self control and discipline... I dunno that make no sense.

Indeed if you read the Bible or the quran you'll find a bunch of good health advice. Some of those are outdated in these days, others are outdated in the more advanced countries but still valid on other parts of the world (like banning pork or eel) but some of those are are still valid like at least one day every week sitting down, resting and relaxing.

Again? He already went "aggressively" after ISIS a couple of times, but for some reason those were the heydays of ISIS. Finally the Russians had to go there to push back those savages.

Turkey passively supported and let all sorts of scum getting to Syria in hopes strengthening the so called moderate opposition. Turkish businesses have made a lucrative profit on buying oil and stolen historic artefacts from ISIS. Turkey also did everything to hinder the self defence efforts of the kurds in Syria and Iraq.
I guess Erdogan thought he can use and control ISIS as an expendable tool for achieving his geopolitical and religious goals but now that plan backfired.

You know Brussels is just a few hours driving or less than an hour by plane from me, while Turkey is pretty far. Naturally I'm more interested in what happening in the next country than in what happening 4000 km away. Also I know a couple of people in Brussels but I don't know anyone in Ankara. Simple enough. Isn't it?

I'm always trying to think positively, but we've seen coins with 4-600 pages of discussion about "shouldn't we do something", so the sheer quantity not going to touch anyone here . The monero guys can put together 300 page discussion in a two days, but still no decent GUI client .

A bit like "here's the nothing, hold it strong". Urban farming is a fashionable thing but I'm not sure if that will be a massive wealth generator in a mainly agricultural country like India. But I'm not an expert on this.

Take a look at the [IOTA] IOTA Speculation thread on the altcoin marketplace https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1360660.0
. That turned to marketplace from a speculation thread .

Perhaps you wanted to answer to BlackWidow . But, well I'm telling the same just about 99% of the altcoins. Anyway we are still in an early phase of a long way to go and Rome wasn't built in a day.

Without a great increase of real world demand for bitcoin, $1700 would be a short living bubble so I'd sell and buy back after it settled on a lower rate.

Last time around the halving the price slowly went from $5 (2012 summer) to $12-13 (2012 dec.) but that was lower than the then ATH (~$24). After the halving it kept climbing slowly for months. The latest LTC halving was a slightly different pattern: from <$2 it went to >$8 then back to $2 finally stabilized above $3.  

No, it looks fine for me, unfortunately I can see only the same stuff as a few days ago . I know stupid question, but have you tried clearing your browser cache?

When you guys killing each other at home over land and wealth that's not our concern. We feel sorry for the victims but that's all. However when you guys come here into our homes and keep killing our people, that's pretty much an issue for all of us over here. This isn't about double standards. This is about your issues vs our issues.
