What is defined as shitcoin though? For me copy/paste coins that offer nothing more than a blockchain and empty promises for the future are shitcoins. Among the "just blockchains" which only transfer coins from one address to another, I only accept BTC/LTC/XRP as real coins because they're widely used by people and even accepted (or used in the case of XRP) by businesses. I also hold ARK, ETN and RVN which I consider "start-ups with good potential but some risk to turn into useless shitcoins"... draw your own conclusions!

@jbreher Ok, you are skeptic, fine. My question to you would be: are you even using SegWit enabled features in Bitcoin?
Of course not. I am a Segwit skeptic. Why would I commit any of my funds to something I think is fundamentally flawed? That would be irrational, right? (1) Have you tried the LN (testnet is fine too) I'm curious to know if you are skeptic on a theoretical level only
No. What does that LN to do with Segwit? I'm not following your train of inquiry here. Here is a question for you. Are you familiar with the term 'fungibility'? Can you understand how creating two classes of BTC destroys this property? (Well, after claiming one question, you asked two.) (2) (1) Fine but to me is like "I don't like carrots!" Have you ever tried them? "no, I think they would kill me".  (2) No SegWit, no LN easy. Why would I commit any of my funds... You can use testnet coins........ Fungibility: yes I know what it is and that's a concern for me as well but I know a few ways to protect my privacy. They are costly but I don't care since I value my privacy a lot.

What do you think about Bitcoin not breaking the support 5500€ / 6800$? I'm not very confident that this will be the bottom, there was not enough panic selling and FUD imo!  Maybe we'll see a break of the support first, then a bull run for new highs can start.

I figure that BTC price and Alts etc are going to Yo/Yo at best between 5k and 6k for the next 9 months especially if mt. gox keeps kicking out $125 million of BTC dump the 10th of every month until the surplus of 1.40 billion is gone just the way it is that and the fact IF there is a run, seems exchanges always go down or are hacked ..thus driving prices down further buckle up boys and girls it is gonna suck big time (again, better minds then me prove I'm wrong...please...please...) brad

At least they got BCH right  They don't seem to know of BTCP though! Other than that, it has the exact same opinion with me! :O It's positive on ARK and ETN, which are my main holdings along with XRP. For XRP they stay neutral. Also the Bitshares (BTS), Verge (XVG) and Litecoin (LTC) comments are on point! The only one I've found to be in dissagreement with my opinion is the Blockport (BPT) which is a semi-decentrilized-social exchange where the user holds the private keys and you get paid for being followed in social trading (having users copy your trades). Maybe because it's currently in closed beta it's mentioned as shitcoin, but as long as they deliver, this is going to be helpful to the whole crypto market because it has the potential be a good and safe exchange. Oh and it's based on ARK's ecosystem!

This is how stupid Vinny Lingham is: https://twitter.com/VinnyLingham/status/1006899091127746565Never mind the fact that HODL is precisely what gives the exchange value that Bitcoin has today (and every other asset on the planet). And it reduces price volatility. If everyone bought bitcoin simply to turn around and spend it minutes later, effectively having a bitcoin savings net sum of zero, it'd probably have an exchange market value of around $2/btc and that would never change. Not to mention you lose 2% (broker fee) right off the bat just from going through the hassle of buying it, which has to be made back to use as a net zero currency.

Meh, I'm not a big fan of the idea of hodling so that you can sell later. For me I wish people would convert and spend rather than buy, hodl, sell. The idea of holding means you're resisting the temptation of selling. But if bitcoin is your main currency...why would you ever consider buying some fiat?

Probably because Bitcoin is not a main currency. Yet. It can be. At least that's the way I treated it which allowed me to have almost 95% of my money in bitcoins. I was able to live on bitcoin in Germany where it's damned hard. If you can't live on bitcoin in the US you're not trying.

Well a lot more people would do that instead of converting back to fiat if you could easily pay your taxes, pay your mortgage, pay bills, buy houses, cars, groceries, etc. with bitcoin. But currently (esp in the U.S.) you can't. And possibly not ever, at least in most first world countries. And in the U.S., the IRS wants to steal their share of any gains you might have.

Yeah but... Is anyone actually using btc as a main curreny yet? I mean even without talking about the fact that my salary isn't in btc, that I can't pay my taxes in btc and so on... Who the hell would accept to use a currency where 1mBTC can buy you a 2 breads the monday, 8 the friday and 1 the next week? As long as the price won't be stable nobody will use it as a main currency.
