If so please tell us all about it.

Don't forget to vote too.

Examples:
- did you lose money trading ?
- did you hold coins on an exchange that shut it's doors or got hacked ?
- did you get ripped off in a trade user to user ?
- have you received threats of violence or lawsuits from other altcoin users ?

Spoetnik cares and is here for you !

Thanks for sharing and well done with the caps and bold writing i like that !
Let it out guys.. let it ALL out !
Don't hold back.. this is not a self moderated topic you guys can speak up.
This could be your chance to warn others of a scammer or other bad guy in the Altcoin scene.

I have the most bad experience in altcoins that in anything else. Many ICOs are scams and you can see that most of the coins are dead in 6 months. I would stay away from ICOs as they are created to make money for the devs.

By the sounds of the rest of these people, I do believe I'm quite lucky.
Not yet have I got scammed or wasted any money without profit.
Yay?

Hi there, I'm from South Africa.
This means I'm poor, I guess.

Spoetnik since it's your thread and you know the numbers better than most.

7000? cons errrr coins?

Well My call is 300 of them are legit.  Maybe 500 coins can exist but that bottom 2/5ths is sketchy.

(so that makes for 1/14 chance of launching a real coin)

After that best to look at crypto 2.0 'tokens'.  I think the next round will be 70000 tokens and 5000 will be legit.

So yeah the fud/hopium is going to hit 10X levels.

And you though t your job was done Tongue


Okay too much?
top 150 coins are fairly solid ... it may take another 6 months but the landscape is basically established.

Okay give me the top 50!
Nope.  But most of the top 50 are already top 100.

Spoetnik points to the dolls bum.. where it's wallet is Wink

And to the other guy earlier.
I feel ya !
I got a bunch of dead coins.. Cryptobits, Maru, JackpotCoin, Max coin, Doge Coin (from a faucet) and Bitcoin.
Yes i said Bitcoin too !

I wouldn't say i have a good coin at all.
nothing but a trail of worthless digital scammy ponzi tokens.
glad i didn't push my friends / family into getting into this stuff before when they asked me.
they too would be burned but worse off because they were more vulnerable noobs etc.

i'd have to say if i had a bad story it usually involves Arb'ing coins and them vanishing.

I have made over 14,000% profit trading on Cryptsy.. ALL of my BTC has been made trading alt coins. OK well 99.99% as I've played with faucets too..

I guess I'm just extremely lucky to have not been scammed and to have the talent to profit where most loose all..

I could legitimately say that I've likely lost over 50 BTC trading, but I have made more than I lost soo..

To be honest, at this time with Cryptsy in shambles, I really don't know what to do with myself, lol..

Well, I lost trading on Ethereum this year, that's the only time hype drew me in of late.

I broke my own rule by taking an interest (my rule being, if there is a crypto currency with any merit, it was launched before April 2014)

Besides that, if the currency of Ether is actually used as intended, people that haven't already invested aren't exactly going to enjoy using a 'pay as you go' cloud computing service, so I didn't really think that through very well.

Otherwise, yes I have a bag of 'dead coins'.

However, Auroracoin could be on the verge of a comeback, if this was to happen, a few obscure dead coins I have (Muniti, Silicon Valley Coin) could be dug up and resurrected, who knows.

All I can say is if someone had a bad experience better leave the altcoin scene for good instead of ranting nonstop. There's nothing you can do anyway. Just think about yourself and overall well being. Cheers! 

P.S. I've few bad experience with altcoin.

People that make & support coins like yourself need to leave not us who have been burned by them.

i love hearing that same tired old retort though..

be quiet and make more Bitcoin right ?

What kind of fucktard says what i quoited ?
