Yes, unfortunately that is the reality. Everyone are chasing some short term gains without any work/learning.

We can imagine it like this:
A lot of people here would rather talk about things you mentioned "Bitcoin is dying, When is it right to buy bitcoin, Bitcoin is an asset..." but noone would actually use it or spread the word about it. Not because he would earn but because it is better then FIAT system.

It would be like saying I like potato, potato is the best, buy potato and you wouldn't even eat it...

Hahaha If she is going to get it right then everyone will praise her. If she will be wrong then everyone will be disappointed and forget about her very soon. What is a lesson we learned from this? Never stop trying.

Yes, probably biggest reason why alts are going up is due to BTC price raise. Just imagine how many BTC/alts pairs are there and you will quickly realize how crypto market works. At least nowadays.

Hello,
I advise you to read this: https://coingate.com/accept/dgb/digibyte

No problem, glad to help!
Yes, I think you need satoshis (= bitcoin) for any transactions with cards (similar as ether for Ethereum tokens). I am not sure about crystal transactions though.

It's hard to tell... Check the news: https://www.monero.how/monero-news.
But I think most bullish event for XMR will be another bitcoin bubble, when BTC makes big moves also all altcoins do.
XMR was just added to Ledger, https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8z2zz2/monero_has_successful_audit_of_their_bulletproofs/, new client... A lot of news but it doesn't reflect on it's price as much as other (company driven tokens/coins). Listen to this and you will understand it better (from 22 minute on): https://youtu.be/KqhRZfKRriU?t=21m58s.

I can help you with few tips, but you will have to give me more info on what exactly do you want.
And I found this website after 1 min of search: https://bitcrystals.com/documentation/ it is full of useful info so I suggest you check it out too.

If you want to send a card, you just click on card and press send. You type in number of cards you want to send (same kind of cards), scan QR code or type in address you want cards send to and send it. You have to have few satoshis in your wallet because the fees are paid in BTC. If I am not mistaken this also applies to creating market offer.
- Instructions with pictures: https://bitcrystals.com/documentation/send-an-asset-on-book-of-orbs-web-app/

When you want to create market offer you click on card, press market. Place custom order. Type in number of cards you want to buy/sell (availability means how many cards are there in existence, not how many you have http://prntscr.com/k71487). Then type the price in BCY for your buy/sell offer. Place your order and then confirm it. Then your order is placed. Someone has to accept your order to get trade done. So make sure you put realistic prices.

Just saw new logo for BCY while checking BoO. It is definitely better then previous one but I think this one could also be improved or maybe I just need to get used to it.
Did anyone already requested for logo change on CMC? https://coinmarketcap.com/request/ I can do it if someone send me .png logo link.
Also website is looking very nice, I like the fact that you are connecting with other games and making things like crystalcraft. Well done and I am looking forward to see what you are preparing for us in the future!

I think you should use Book Of Orbs wallet. It is made for this and it works well. I guess you can also use IndieSquare wallet but it may be hard to operate with cards.

You think cards? I don't have experience using IndieSquare wallet with SoG. But if you will use Book Of Orbs I promise you that you will be able to send them (cards) easily.

Really? I know Bitcrystals are traded there, but cards?
Again, if you will use Book Of Orbs things will be easier, you can send/receive/trade cards there.

Define "die".
I guess cryptocurrency die when it's development has stopped and there is noone using that currency. And I really doubt this could be the case in Monero, it will probably be used all the time. At least until it will hold n.1 (I think it does now) position among private cryptocurrencies. I think a cryptocurrency just needs one "exchange" where you can buy it for FIAT. This can also be a forum or any other type of communication channel where people who are interested in buying/selling crypto.
Similar website as LocalBitcoins - https://localmonero.co (just made for Monero, obviously).

Good thing that they are in favor of cryptocurrency/blockchain, but we all know that a real cryptocurrency can't be national or made/controlled by government. It is conflict of interest.
Let's say that for example they really do make it (a real one- decentralized, opensource...). What would that mean?
It would probably not be very secure (a lot less then Bitcoin), since they would start from nothing and number of nodes would be low. If it would be secured from the start then it would be centralized, because they (government) would have majority of nodes/hash power...
They would encourage shops and other business to accept it. This would cause price increase, which would definitely bring attention from investors from all over the world. And here we have another bubble and I believe it would be a lot bigger then bitcoins bubble (in %). And all this price volatility definitely wouldn't help country's economy. If they would controlled it to avoid this then we are back to digital FIAT money...

So I don't think there will be any successful "national" cryptocurrency (as we know it today). But what I think is possible is that blockchain will help make things more transparent- but this would of course not be in interest of those who are profiting because of "cheap" money.

Thank you! Just wanted to say something similar to OP.

You can check https://localbitcoins.com/ if it suits you (it's a direct exchange with another person).
I think both Bitstamp and Kraken will do good as online exchanges. But you must "pay" with exposing of your personal data. Be careful about taxation and other legal stuff in your country.

You can also buy something with bitcoin, which is essentially even better if you need something.

You can also read this post - a lot of useful info. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/61s75o/rbitcoin_faq_newcomers_please_read/

BTW, I hope you aren't selling them with loss. You do understand that there is a high chance that we will go in another bull market in next few years.

Anyone tried it already?

Exactly, nobody knows the future. But the fact is that utility is what gives real value and utility comes with users. And users are us - me and you. So it's entirely up to us which coin will be used in the future. But what I believe is that there will be many different coins for different purposes. I would say that with more currencies we have better/more decentralized system. I. e. if everyone are using 1 currency and if it would fail (bug in code or other technical difficulties, not price drop...) this would have great impact. But if there are 3, 5, 10 or 100 currencies we soften this effect.
So in my opinion BTC will remain a currency with biggest marketcap for at least several more years and will be used later as a store of value - digital gold. But other currencies might be used for different things.

And BTW, OP, transaction speed isn't everything you need to consider when evaluating currency.

What are your reasons for this statement?
I think people WANT bull run to start ASAP and that is why 90% are saying it has already started.
Price is not growing even for a week and everyone are already saying this is a start of a bull run... with this logic bull run already started few times already in this year. http://prntscr.com/k2y33y
I advise people to forget about the price - if you really believe in bitcoin then buy few satoshis every week regardless the price. And start using it and thus really giving value to bitcoin. After all if people aren't using it but just speculating, it is worth exactly 0$.

I don't think we are close to this so don't be too optimistic.

Hello, I am interested in hearing more you can PM me. Thanks!

Learn about bitcoin, if you will understand how it works you will make decision a lot easier. Bitcoin was never hacked/compromised so I don't know the reason why wouldn't it be worth to buy few satoshis. Just learn to manage money and don't put too much in crypto, otherwise you will often experience heartache.

Most whales aren't even in crypto yet. In my opinion more regulation -> more whales (and more overall investments in cryptocurrenices).
Probably investors with money are waiting for crypto to get to a lower price so they have better entry point, but I wonder how low will it go.

I call $2873.
