8501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: SCAM [AIRDROPs] ⚡ on: November 25, 2017, 03:34:14 PM
what is the best method to know SCAM [AIRDROPs] Huh PROJECT
almost all of them is scam and just want to take money from investors thats why they created a token .  i suggest not to invest in any of them if you are investors try to find a legit project.

That is pretty unfair for you to say. First of all, the OP is asking about AIRDROPS, not ICOs/investments. So there is no money to be taken from investors in airdrops.

Secondly, airdrops have been good and legitimate means for coins to promote themselves and ensure wide distribution. Look at Stellar Lumens and look at Byteball (GBYTE). Both are respectable altcoins with growing community, and not a single satoshi ever asked from their users. Of course, majority of new airdrops now are either useless or want your email or wallet address to try and do funny things with them. But do not let 99 bad apples ruin the 1 good apple Smiley
8502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If you invested $10 in every ico in 2017 on: November 25, 2017, 03:10:36 PM
A lot of clearly ignorant people who think ICOs would have tripled or X whatever - if you had invested $10 in every ICO in 2017 thus far, you would easily have spent over $10,000... and from my own experience, only a handful have been profitable, but even those have almost all gone down below ICO price so the worst affected are poor ICO investors who held.

If you had invested $10,000 in Bitcoin at the beginning of 2017, today you would have over $80,000.

Does not take a genius to see the flaw of ICO logic.
8503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why some countries are prohibit BTC... on: November 25, 2017, 11:20:42 AM
From your statement alone it seems pretty evident that you do not fully understand geography, geopolitics and therefore should be very careful with the statements you make. You say Arabic countries (I guess you mean Middle East nations) but the biggest one of them all, Saudi Arabia, is extremely Bitcoin friendly. Dubai is trying to be one of the international hubs for blockchain, crypto, and therefore Bitcoin.

You have to understand the caution and suspicion for new tech that the banks and finance ministries are still trying to understand. Well, even here on this forum 99% of us are trying very hard to understand Bitcoin!
8504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum All Time High on: November 24, 2017, 09:06:47 PM
The second powerful coin Ethereum is trying to hold its position, will it cross $400 mark?
It has crossed that mark, and now its heading to the next mark $500... do not be surprised when it goes to $1000 before the summer of 2018


So we all knew that good alts like ETH can surely reach their old ATHs, it was always just a matter of time. I am sure many who bought at $200 are now very happy for this x2 of solid value. And when I say good, I do not mean I like it, I am simply saying it has good prospects. We can have all the misgivings we want but we cannot ignore the strength it has achieved this year, especially after falling against Bitcoin so often.

For me, $500 was always the new mark, if it is achieved this year, a small bonus. $1k is a long, long way away. Let us see the true effect of the fork and POS before making hasty assessments.
8505  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 24, 2017, 08:43:28 PM
I certainly do not have enough time for something to read all 1750 pages, and the desire to find out what is the same in a monero, and why such a huge interest among speculators to this coin, that in the speculation section about a coin of 1,750 pages? Is it really really profitable to trade a monero? Share the guys)

Yes, over time it has been and continues to be so.   XMR only just passed its all time high in USD in the past few days.  

You need to get to know Monero and what drives it, and why it is special.  Then I have no doubt you will buy.  Over the long term it has been stunningly profitable.  But of course, you must make up your own mind and decide yourself.

It's the only coin I have ever actually told my family to buy a little of.  I shall be very popular this Christmas when I see them.

It is not only profitable to trade, it has been one of those altcoins that has been growing from strength to strength not just in price but in tech. So defiitely agree, once you read about it you realise this is not just another alt project, this really was one of the most different alts to hit the market. It is also one with real world practical use. Guess why all those faucet sites are asking to mine Monero? Because it is also still profitable to do so. Not any more with Bitcoin and all other alts are just too volatile or difficult to mine with computers.
8506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Substratum (SUB) - highly undervalued on: November 24, 2017, 03:02:13 PM
Hey everyone, SUB Substratum has just entered the top100 on coinmarketcap at #99 with a market cap of $50mil.

One more day of big % gain now and it will be in everyone's view (if you rank by biggest gainers of the last 24 hrs on coinmarketcap, it doesn't show any of the coins from #101 to #200 market cap, even if their percentage gain is higher. That's why the big pump from 2 days ago didn't get much coverage.) But one more good pump now and every youtuber will highlight them and that will for sure grow the demand and the price!

Hmm. That is definitely a possibility. But we have easily seen coins like this have this pattern, creep into Top 100 because of supply and market cap against thin trading volume.... and then fall off forever. The more likely possibility is for this to happen. Let us newbies come in and buy it, then a huge whale comes in and throws down the orderbook.

Highly undervalued? Overly valued, is what I am thinking.
8507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA Price Prediction 2018 on: November 24, 2017, 09:08:16 AM
iota will be one of the top Performer in 2018, there are some new Projects in the Pipeline. i think by the end of 2018 3-5$ should be easy possible. maybe more.

I guess IOTA is certainly a contender for next year, but then there are too many variables to count upon. They are not the only innovator for internet of things either, I recently am hearing big news from Hyundai DAC which will be a serious competitor since it has a LOT of products ready for testing and a very well recognized team with a lot of specialists. And IOT is already an industry Hyundai is familiar with, it will get a lot of support from their own corporate structure.

So IOTA has to move quickly - they are more flexible and more agile than Hyundai, but we will soon see exactly how much more than the South Korea giant tech firm.
8508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [AIRDROP] [ICO] Leverj - The Decentralized Leveraged Exchange - 3 Million LEV on: November 24, 2017, 08:14:15 AM
Now this is a good type of airdrop, not just simply free to encourage all the spammers and bounty hunters, but an opportunity for actual interested people to support the project and at the same time promote it for even wider spread and adoption.

I really like the idea of decentralized exchanges already, but now this concept of leveraging could be that point of attraction that has been missing from many that launch and still fail.

Curious: why is Seychelles in that list? I understood the others for security and regulations but what happened with Seychelles?
8509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] 🔵 UTRUST 🔵 The future of online payments is here. on: November 23, 2017, 02:15:04 PM
just a quick question, i have no problem with it but why do we have to submit our legal documents? is this just to prove that nothing dodgy is going on? or people from restricted countries are not purchasing?

It is all about regulations, my friend. The world of crypto and blockchain is still in the midst of entering mainstream adoption. Banks, financial regulators and governments are all training their focus especially on ICOs, since a lot have already scammed and they have received a lot of complaints. There are also legitimate concerns about anti money laundering that must be addressed. Utrust is trying to become compliant in this manner, so all their investors must be properly vetted, as per their regulations and terms. You have no choice and soon every ICO will become like this.
8510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] King Cash - Revolutionary Lending System - PRE SALE Starts on Nov 29 on: November 23, 2017, 01:07:21 PM
Hmm. I was so curious to see what exactly was so revolutionary about this lending system so am very disappointed to see that not only is it NOT revolutionary at all, in fact it seems even more inferior to other lending systems such as SALT.

Other concerns for me are plenty but the most important are: 1)I see 30% and more interest per month, this is very crazy and impossible to sustain. You might as well borrow to trade on Poloniex for max 5% a month at the worst offers and 2)referral up to 10%. Enter abuse, enter suspensions, enter instant devaluation.

Not saying this is a terrible idea, but please, this is not revolutionary at all.
8511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Someone is issuing a WTF token on: November 23, 2017, 10:35:05 AM
I think the novelty effect of these tongue-in-cheek tokens have already worn off. We loved Myuselessethereum and UselessWavesTokens,,, I think we also had a bit of enjoyment with Jesus coin.

Those were ICOs. I have seen funny alts with no ICOs like Pussycoin and Shroomcoin, or something like that. So, the community can always smile now and then but like all ideas, only the originals will be remembered.

Some troll should come up with something special to end the year with a big Christmas bang!
8512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think it's still good to buy DOGE (11/23/17)? on: November 23, 2017, 09:32:00 AM
I don't know who's keeping Doge alive, but it is a miracle that it hasn't dumped to 1 sat over the continuous news that there is no development or future for it.

The community, that is what! And most of you people strangely do not understand the power of a community, and keep overlooking the fact that coins like Doge have one, while all those ICO projects only have shills and bounty hunters. You keep seeing the continuous news that there is no development or future but that is your problem for not seeing what the community itself does.

No need to knock a coin without basis, friend. Doge never asked for people's money or promised to do things, yet it has done more for crypto than SO many alts.
8513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Eth buy or wait? on: November 23, 2017, 08:41:13 AM
In July, you would not make much if you hold till now and its value in satoshi drop more.

But as of 16/11 of 2017, its a great timing to pick ETH up. Since you can buy it cheap with lower Satoshi value.

Its < 0.05 BTC now, IMO it will hit 0.1 BTC next year where it will go back to old times when 1 BTC = 10 ETH

Anyone who bought ETH with BTC since April actually will be just so frustrated with their losses, so I hope that most people bought ETH from exchanges with fiat. I hold so many alts now that have increased in dollar value but are so frustratingly low in satoshi value.

And anyone who thinks that the time for alt buys is great now, do not make the mistake I did thinking this and going all in. Bitcoin will not correct now until it is 10k, and if the sell off does not happen then, then it will continue to pop even higher. Just hold what you have and do not get more (unless again you buy with dollar).
8514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you feel ICOs try to raise too much? on: November 22, 2017, 06:56:04 PM
Of course they do! Tell me, outside of crypto, what kind of huge projects take millions of dollars to develop? Those by major multinational companies with hundreds and thousands of staff and testers and coders in their development team.

If you are a project with a handful of people, do you really need to raise $1 or more million?

The first red flag is this to me. No budget, no statement of costs, no market research. Just some random soft cap and hard cap based on total supply of token or coins, and how much each dev wants to keep in his millionaire fund. Ridiculous, is it not? Absolute nonsense.
8515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing on ico is the smart way to be millioner on: November 22, 2017, 04:09:02 PM
It’s also a great way to lose everything you’ve got when the developer runs away with your money.

You have to be very careful with ICOs. While they have a greater potential they also have a much greater risk, not to mention the fact that unless you got really lucky you'd need to invest a lot in order to see miraculous returns.

On point, see Confido just two days ago. Got half a million dollars and disappeared.

In fact, ICOs are also a great way to lose money quickly without the developer running away. I dare OP to pick the first ten ICOs listed in the Announcement sections. Check all of them. I bet the majority are trading today at prices lower than their ICOs. Yes, even with all the bonuses you could possibly get by being a first investor.

Next, I expect someone to say being a bounty hunter for ICOs is the surest way to make money. Seems so easy to be a millionaire these days, is it not?
8516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin can cross $300+ in next 3 years? on: November 22, 2017, 10:15:55 AM
Ripple is a good competitor for the 300$ gold line.why? It is currently trading at  0.20 $. In the opinion of many Crypto market specialists, XRP may reach a price of at least  0.75 $  by the end of the year. The return on this XRP investment will be over 300%. One good reason is it has Higher technology, xRP was specifically designed to be able to change current cross-border money transfers. We are talking here about the old and the slow SWIFT. At present, a transfer with SWIFT between two countries can take from 3 to 5 days. Not to mention the costs of these transfers, which are not negligible, especially if we are talking about transfers of tens of thousands of dollars.

For Ripple to reach $1 would be a five fold increase in market cap,,, for it to reach $300 it would be a 1,500x increase - simply unimaginable if you look at it like that, not to mention that the supply would have increased in three years.

No, you would need to look at something like Litecoin (at $70) and Monero (at $145). For them to cross over into $300 territory is only a 4x increase for Litecoin and 2.2x increase for Monero. That is far more realistic, and actually looks very capable of happening.
8517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dash Speculation on: November 22, 2017, 09:14:10 AM
dash already made their move,
so i doubt it that they will do another run in upcoming weeks,
they will make another move if everything is moving.
but right now,i do not think they will break that triangle,
at least they will make it bigger trigangle in the future.
well,everything can be happen in cryptocurrency.who knows what will happen in the next few minutes later on ?


And we all thought the same about Bitcoin every climb and every ATH. So crypto is unpredictable. I made my DASH move for half a coin at $300, so of course I am enjoying only a modest amount of unrealized profit. I guess I will always enter the game "late" when it comes to altcoins! No matter, profit is profit and I am glad this is one alt that did not let me down.

So it is a week later, and precisely this has happened as you thought. DASH is moving in the direction of every other alt, up and up. It seems to be comfortable above $400 so the big resistance is at $500. Anyone can have a guess, mine is $450 floor by 31 December.
8518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Lisk or Waves? on: November 22, 2017, 08:04:31 AM
$700? Wish I had that amount to add to my WAVES, which would quadruple its size!

Waves may not look like the choice if compared to Lisk, on basis of promotion, development hype and the way the community is. But that to me is the uniqueness of Waves. Lisk just looks like another altcoin project with a lot of people talking big and complementing the hype from devs. Waves is happy to allow things to develop more naturally. Besides, I could wait for months as am already happy with where the platform is now.
8519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [DRGN] Dragon Coin - for gamers, traders and investors on: November 21, 2017, 11:22:01 AM
Serious gamers cannot also be serious traders, or investors. In fact anybody serious in any of these three things cannot be serious at a second of them. In other words, you will have none of the serious people from these communities supporting the project. With your mining algorithm, do you expect gamers to run 1 high end GPU gaming PC and another ASIC rig by their side? (for example).

Diversification is good, but only if the product's main feature is first 100%.
8520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: November 21, 2017, 09:18:00 AM
For everyone asking and asking, why so impatient? Let the devs do what they feel is right.

Yes, in fact, it took a two month cycle instead of the normal one month before, so from now onwards we should not expect it to be quicker than two months. In fact, we should just wait. If it is announced, the website main page will surely be updated. So, yes, stop asking, and hold you GBYTES and enjoy the fresh income every distribution.

Devs: good job on keeping byteball stable now after most recent distribution. In fact, keep it even lower if necessary. Lengthen the distribution. Take the time to build partnerships. Cheers.
