I have decided that Ripple random shitcoin is an attack on Bitcoin the same as Bcash other random shitcoin. They are trying to scare holders into selling by wash trading a Flippening. Don’t fall for it.
FTFY. They've been trying this lame 'flippening scare' tactic for over a year now, because they are all fresh out of other shitactics. Pumping random garbage will never work. The Bitcoin community has matured and can see through the bullshit. Wallstreet desperately needs more bitcoin supply to play their con games with the public, and there just isn't much available. So they are desperate to get existing holders to part with their bitcoin. They want them to make rookie trading mistakes, divest into a myriad of shitcoins, or just get frustrated and sell... whatever they can do to shake people out. It doesn't appear to be working. This is also my belief. There is a very low quantity of circulating Bitcoin. If you can create FOMO and generate an order book full of buyers wanting your crapcoin, you then wait for the right moment then dump en-masse generating a large quantity of Bitcoin for yourself and a large number of ‘successful’ traders. I notice that the more reputable alts are not pumping as hard as the blatant scams. ...Except that this time they are getting close to BTC market cap. It has passed 50% now and is on the way to be 100% sometime next week I am surprised how media was quick saying btc is a bubble yet nobody says anything about ripple

I reckon for the regular noob buying any type of Crypto it would far more appealing to buy Bitcoin NOW if they were expressed in mBTC. Do you want 0.1 (10%) of a Bitcoin or 3500 Ripples? Instead of fending off Roger "Criminal" Ver and his monopoly buddy Jihan Wu it would have been better had the community spent time on transferring value notation to mBTC as soon as BTC hit $10,000.00. As soon as one mBTC possibly hits $10,000.00 then express it in microBTC or Satoshi. This to me would look far more appealing to buy a few off below. Consider this:

The only coins in the top 15 that are “honest” imho are BTC, Ether and Monero. And Ether can be a bit dubious. The rest is shit. Happy to hear contrary opinions.
Is basically every "Equihash" altcoin reliant on the trusted setup (destruction of master key ceremony)? Not just Zcash, zclassic, but Bitcoin Gold as well? Can anyone comment? All equihash coins = trust in trusted setup. (if so, what a crappy "gpu"-mineable algo that bitcoin-gold team chose - dubious) No, only ZEC forks are. Equihash is just the mining algo, no different than scrypt, sha256, or ethash.

I never thought I would say it but given where BCH is, LTC seems awfully undervalued. There is no compelling reason to use BCH over LTC if the whole premise is transaction fees are out of control and slow block confirms.

I have just blown the princely sum of 0.01 BTC on a test run of Raiblocks which I am told is the future of crypto.
So far:
1. Every time I try to open the Raiwallet I have to recover from seed because Raiwallet throws an error.
2. I can’t withdraw my 1 Raiblock worth US$25 from Bitgrail because their node keeps crashing so I can’t send it to my Raiwallet.
3. You can’t send any amount less than 1 Raiblock to Bitgrail as an anti-spam measure. This is for a DAG technology that supposedly can handle 2,500 tps?!
4. I can’t withdraw my remaining 0.0082 BTC from Bitgrail for no reason whatsoever? Exit scam?
This is the 17th highest ranked crypto on Coinmarket cap and it seems to be a fucking mess. If this is the future of crypto, I want no part in it.
If you try IOTA you will be even more amazed by its shitness. Yeah, it's simply amazing. And that's for the network and PC wallet. Don't ever try the IOT wallet -it's main selling point- because there is simply NONE. But the gains? Pretty respectable I have to admit. If you want to try a working DAG try Byteball. The gains you ask? Oh, well... nowhere near the other two broken implementations (IOTA/Raiblocks). Your choice.

The only reason is an emotional one (it contains the Bitcoin name) and it seems emotion is what the crypto market is partly based on right now. (Ie I'd rather have thousands of Ripple than 1 BTC) etc.

2nd shitcoin blow-off in under 12 months, simply nutz.
working on the simple math from last time after the shitcoin bust ... total crypto marketcap ~$750 bill, BTC 66% share == 28-30k u$d/btc.

The cycle for ATH is supposed to be 9 months, not 2 weeks!
not talking about ATHs here, I'm talking performance vs other coins. I've seen alts do well before when BTC has suffered, but not like this. You weren't around here in May when Ripple, ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, ETC, monero and many others did a similar pump while BTC stagnated until it finished? Looks pretty similar to me.

Thanks for the referral to Byteball. I am interested in the concept of DAG even if current implementations are crap.

In 7 days the crypto market has gone from $500 billion to $750 billion. That’s a market wide blow off top.
Edit: There has to be a market wide crash. I just don’t know if it will take BTC with it. You would have to think it will.

@_MG_ 10 hours ago 2018 day 2 - 6 million cell tracking & spying devices have accidental backdoors. 2018 day 3 - Basically every internet attached device with a processor has an accidental backdoor. Let's keep the pace up for the rest of the year!
ha bleeding ha. 'accidental' my arse
I don't know 20 prgramming languages like some weirdos around here but I know 3. What I find funny is that none of the ultra nerds or white/black hats I know seem to trust hardware wallets at all. This is another reason I see BTC as retarded, trying to store your life savings in it is always going to be dangerous as hell. People like the Gavinator used to tell people it was dangerous because it was, but now people pretend it's safe when nothing has really changed. I guess they think a Vitalik will roll back the chain.
