if you mean that zeit is decentralized in the mining because there are no asic, this is only because this coin zeit, is not valuable enough to build an asic it, to the contrary bitcoin is worth billion, so it is more centralized, bitcoin also take 10 mean for a reason, to avoid orphan block

and come on staking is bad, everyone know it, the richer just get richer, the only way is pow at the moment

Hmm,

You do know that ASICS Can Not be Built for a Proof of Stake coin.  Smiley
Proof of Stake Coins are completely ASICS RESISTANT.

As far as the rich getting richer,
PoW Miners make all of the money and the holders make Squat, (or at best the variance of the market price.)

As far as Staking , it is Great and everyone that owns the coin can do it.
There has just been a lot of asshats spreading lies to hit it with Bad PR to hinder its growth.

PoS coin like ZEIT wait 20 Days before a new block can even stake,
this prevents the compound interest effect that some coins with interval of only a few hours use to make the rich as you say richer.
ZEIT is one of the Fairest Staking coins out there.

 Cool

FYI:
Proof of Stakes verses Proof of Work

Quote
Proof of Stake is the only way to make money in the long run , buying Sterile BTC or Tokens that can not make more of themselves is Pure Speculation.

Example: It is like a farmer buying a herd of cattle that are sterile. He only makes money if the market is higher when he has to sell, if the market is down when he has to sell , he just wasted his Time & Money, where if he buys a herd of cattle that can produce Offspring, he is able to keep his original amount of cattle and sell off any excess , therefore giving him a
Lifetime of Revenue verses a One-time Completely Speculative Time Sensitive Investment



 Cool

FYI:
This example was used , because in the evolution of PoW mining , the Elite Few always end up controlling the ability to generate new PoW coins due to economic factors.
Proof of Stake (with at least 15 days between staking) is the only way to keep the Rich & Poor on equal footing for the ability to generate new coins.



FYI2:
One other Point of Interest,
PoW Miners can sell the coin they make , but they keep the ASICS , this allows them to keep control of the network and sell you its worthless tokens , for without the ASICS, the PoW Coin network is dead.
PoS Coins, when they sell their coins they sell their % of their ability to make more.
Plus anyone that owns a PoS coin can keep it's network running, the elite don't control it totally like in a PoW network.  Wink
PoS coins the Value is in the Coin,   PoW coins the true value is in the ASICS.

There is still none, is there any coin you can use to buy drugs or guns yet?. Most  of these project have not really differentiated themselves from Bitcoin but rather a speculative tools relying majorly on the success and glory of Bitcoin

I agree there is at the moment none among the created cryptocurrency is as good as bitcoin.  The reason is that thise new altcoins also relies in bitcoin value, though some were majorly used in transactions in the dark net, because of their anonimity feature, but even with that usage, they are not as good as bitcoin when it come to base users, application and many more.

The reason that most of the altcoins just copy an existing code base and tweak a few parameters thus really not a challenge to the established leader(s), i.e. Bitcoin:

It is really, really hard folks. One little detail wrong and poof ... your money is gone...

I am new here, and i want to hear your opinion, ideas and advice. Thanks Smiley

I would suggest that it is much better for you to read first in the forum we had it in here for you to find out more about in bitcoin and to learn how the community here lived with bitcoin. Then in the long run you will find out how the cryptocurrencies became stable in crypto world though they are few only.

In the last few days, the coin is almost as good as bitcoin just appeared. It is the ZCash, it is more expensive.

Yes I agree about this fact, Zcash is doing great these days so I think it also has a good future and that it can become more used and more popular.
Please tell me one reason why you think Zcash has a future ?
I think the price has been constantly going down even as the coin is very new. I think better would be to invest in BURSTcoin since it has innovative HDD mining which I see having a good future. More and more people will use it in future, I am sure.

That's right, ZEC has fallen from 2.39 to 0.075 in just three weeks. Many people lost their money investing in the coin in earlier days. I'm wondering how it was possible to start from such a high price as BTC2.39 and what people were expecting buying at say 1.8?

I think no other currency can be better than Bitcoin or even as good as it is.

As good in what way do you mean?

So far in my limited understanding of all this crypto business it would seem

code - open source so i guess any coin can clone but can all devs manipulate and fix as well as the core btc devs? (not sure)
developers - of course top tier but I think their choices are limited more so that some other alts without hardfork
security of network - cost to successful attack very expensive so I guess this gives it a lot of value
adoption - huge in comparison to all others so again gives huge advantage ..breeds trust there so the attracts most new fiat incoming and it stays there.

I think if another currency can knock it from number 1 spot in terms of volume, MC and tech inovation but it will need to be something rather special or just something just as good that is adopted by a huge company. Why they would not just adopt BTC is a question. The only answer could be that BTC's core code is unable to provide what is needed without hardforking which perhaps the devs could not push through or not get agreement on with mining pools.

No currency rivals BTC yet in the most important areas of adoption and perhaps security (not sure there could be wrong)  and surely trust so for now btc staying on top in terms of MC and volume for now.

No currency rivals BTC at the moment. But the Bitcoin development is controlled by BS. It might kill the bitcoin.
