Coins are ready to lift off in 2018!

[laugh2btc]

Most coins are in development for several years now and it looks like some of them are ready to use this/next year. This means we are goin in a new area. after years of developing and speculating we have to go a step further.Coins are here for a real world usage and not doomed to stuck in this forum and few wallets. Some people predicted it still needs 5-15 years for mass adoption. But that´s bullshit. Another 5-10 years of speculating isn´t goin to happen, otherwise it would mean the whole crypto-thing is just a big empty bubble. Do you remember 2015? BTC at 200$, NEM at 1mio marketcap,...you lucky bastards able to invest in this year ( me not ) Anyway, wait till 2018 and you will say the same about 2017. Good luck and buy as much as you can.

For me i would agree that in time it would bloom because a lot of businesses now are related to internet. Most transactions are now going online and many more. Patients is very much important in this kinds of trade. Many coins are now increasing but not the same as some commodities that we usually buy. Many coins will rise up so better start stocking.

Most coins are in development for several years now

can you give some examples. and tell us why it took several "years" to develop these coins? i understand that developing a real coin that is supposed to be good doesn't happen overnight and it takes time but i can not see why it would take several years! that is much longer than needed.

Coins are here for a real world usage

things you say are our wishes. i just hope this is not like other thousand coins which said the same thing and ended up being empty promises!

Some people predicted it still needs 5-15 years for mass adoption. But that´s bullshit. Another 5-10 years of speculating isn´t goin to happen, otherwise it would mean the whole crypto-thing is just a big empty bubble.

i disagree. it takes time, specially for an altcoin. people all around the world are not going to wake up one morning saying "I've got to get me some altcoin".
bitcoin, which is the biggest one, has been around for 8 years and it is not yet reached mass adoption. bitcoin has made the way for adoption smooth but it still will take time and that altcoin needs to be so damn good to be adopted for "real world usage".

* looking forward to your examples

1: Ehh what? Even BTC is still in development But here are some examples: NEM (2014), ETH (ok, needs more time), Sia, GAME + Mobilego, Bitcrystal (release few days ago), IOTA this year,...
2: All with real world usage. e.g NEM with banks , IOTA with IOT companies,...
3: Yeah, it needs time. But it´s almost 10 years now since the birth of BTC! And mass adoption depends on 2 fundamental things: 1: tested and easy to use product (make a software easy to use is a matter of months) and 2: tv and media. I remember when first mobile came up and 90% laughed and said what a bullshit. Few months later 70% and 2 years later 0,1%.
Few months ago crypto was demonized by banks and media. Now it´s "accepted" and soon it will pushed like hell. Sheeps will follow immediately

Bitcoin still sets the path for all other coins, with its own success. This is good for Crypto in global, and we can see much progress lately, many new features and solutions. Even big companies have thair own plans..Everybady talks about digital money. How will markecup be shared this is different story, maybe even more interesting.

[talkbitcoin]

1. seems like you and i have a different definition of "in development". i call something "in development" (i think the correct proposition is under) that is not yet released. otherwise it would be like saying Windows 7 is in development!

2. i don't like your "real world usages" since these are crypto-currencies show me where i can spend them as a currency. anything else is not usage in my opinion.

3. it wasn't few months ago, it was 2008-2009 until today and in the future that media and banks bash bitcoin and by extension cryptocurrencies.
and for adoption we need people being willing to spend bitcoin, the user friendly wallets and softwares are already created.

i also think so, the traction of all the altcoin is lead from bitcoin, it's the increase of bitcoin that brought the recent boom in the value of all the altcoin and more is coming, we might see like the thread starter is thinking, some good old coins take off like feathercoin, they are pumping it once again, you have also machiencoin recent 3x pump

I think it is decrease in bitcoin sustainability that causes the boom in altcoin,and bitcoin transaction fees is getting higher so thats why also altcoin are prefer.

[enhu]

Agree with nem, its been awhile that they have been developing their system. But so are the tokens being on the ICO last 2016 such as WAVES platform. There will be a lot of these tokens that will soon go to the moon. 2018 will be a blast because more and more people are introduced to the blockchain technology which means more investors too.

I dont think so that its the main reason why altcoin booms because of sudden increase of tx fee on bitcoin,there might be a point for some altcoin holders which they do engage with it because of avoiding huge fees but thats not always the case.Having alternatives is always good rather or compared than on having one thing.Its better to have many options incase if there something happen on one.

that is nonsense!
you only care about bitcoin so called high transaction fees if you are spending bitcoin not trading it and trading is the cause of price and then as a secondary reason the adoption for spending.

and if we assume what you say is true, and people are really looking for altcoin with low fee, then that altcoins should be accepted so they can spend it! NO ALTCOIN IS ACCEPTED AS A CURRENCY, at least not as much as bitcoin so in the end there is no point in going to an altcoin!

lets think about it a little.
assume i wanted to pay for a game on Steam and i am not happy about the fees. do you think i can switch to an altcoin? obviously no, steam doesn't even recognizes altcoins let alone accepting them.

Will the huge traders be avoiding transaction fees worth for a half of dollar? That's very non sense in my mind because they can generate worth thousands dollar from their trading job. But the longest block validation can be the main attention which has made a lot of people try to use off-chain transaction such as altcoin chain, I remember if I can delivered my transaction using ethereum chain or ltc chain just some minutes.

Are ready to use this/next year? Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies already been used for years and yes still on developing progress until today. Next year > cryptocurrency will grow further of course and just some coins survive and still  has good position in the trading market, and we don't know for sure about mass adoption but it's fine to expect more tn 5-15 years later as cryptocurrency has been proven rise significantly. Waiting for lift off in 2018.

[mobnepal]

The key to get most profit out of altcoin trading is to not hold only one alt in your pocket, investing in multiple promising projects and holding them without being panic for over a year is just a best move. You will surely make some profit, i am holding GBYTE and KMD for long term and hoping for better price within a year (by 2018).

agreed.

fiat currency is antiquated, and new technologies like bitcoin have paved the way... a generation is now defined as every 5 years, vs. every 20 years in the past because of how rapidly technology advances. in 5 more years, the world will be a very different place. niche altcoins or their next iteration will definitely continue to flourish.

[adroitful_one]

It seems like most altcoins do gain some value whenever the price of Bitcoin goes up. Well, believe me when I say that the price of Bitcoin is SERIOUSLY up right now. So, holding just about any coin with a future is a good idea right now

[tehMoonwalker]

more and more people from the "outside world" are aproaching me about cryptos, i suspect it gets mainstream in max 2 years. the whole market will explode

[arbitrage]

Many times i thought about how many coins can exists at the same time, to share a total market cap. There is plenty of space for all. Actually they are all tradable and can be used as unity, and they can be for different tasks. Industry tokens, gaming tokens..Why not?  Why there must be only one, this way of thinking lifts alts.

[Chikito]

This is very difficult, risky to buy bitcoin for now, bitcoin price is too expensive for many purchases. Chances are in 2018 bitcoin havethe price 1600 ~ 1700 $, but some altcoin will climb like ethereum. Nothing is certain in the future, guessing with speculation only resulted in a loss.

[BitcoinBabbler]

Coins rule!
Waiting for the demand of various coins to increase so we can have increased investment in them!
