[ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread

[NewLiberty]

Excellent news. I'm still waiting to see a game that fully uses the potential of cryptos

Take a look at Huntercoin (HUC). They are still a long way from a smoothly operating user experience, but the underlying POW incentives are there. Playing the game is how you mine and acquire coins.

I don't think this is what he meant with "fully uses the potential". I think the MMORPG "Lyth" (powered by Nxt) is more the direction what he searches for.

Lyth looks like it is going to be pretty cool.  I like these games.
There is also the "Crypto Kingdom" built on XMR, which is playable in its pre-release form now.

Basically if you start Crypto Kingdom today, you get an easy path to nobility in the game and also get to be a stakeholder in it.
In later phases, the game essentially becomes an XMR faucet.

I just want to post my enthusiasm not just about XCP but of value investing altogether here because I don't think anyone else in my life will understand. I have no investor background and have never taken any college economics classes. However, the interest I took earlier this year in Crypto Currencies (which later became a day to day passion) has caused me to spend this entire year learning SOOOO much online about investing, economics, philosophy and how all of these things tie into potential impacts of crypto currencies. I say all that because I don't make much money doing tech support so I spend 30 bucks here, 50 bucks there, 60 bucks here and there (all money I'd just use to go to bars or clubs any other time) on my crypto currency obsession and lately I've been all over Counterparty.

My point in all that is that the simple fact of being able to check BTER and during the weekend my holdings in XCP were 70 dollars, and today they are 95 dollars...To see within 3 days of my doing nothing at all money just increase....for a lower income tier person like me to see even that just makes my heart jump. I love what digital currencies are doing, putting wealth creation ability in the hands of ordinary folks like me haha

I don't make much money doing tech support

Yeah but you "get it".

First the internet and now crypto.  What's next, jet packs?  Actually jet packs would be kind of a letdown after the internet and crypto.

Also, I think there is a correlation to the consistent increase in value happening right now of XCP with the current event happening right now in Vegas "Money 20/20". All the big names in the BTC space are there giving presentations and I've been following their twitter feed and reading the articles on coindesk and notice whenever a presentation happens where people push the "Crypto 2.0" idea there are small spikes in the price of counterparty. This is my speculation but I think since Counterparty is pretty much the number 1 crypto 2.0 technology right now it's as if the very words of the people in vegas are causing investors to buy xcp haha.

[IamNotSure]

I hope the level of understanding among new buyers is high. Counterparty requires a pretty deep understanding of Bitcoin to see how it will succeed and if too many people invest without knowledge, looking only for quick returns we could easily see the buy orders at Bter get wiped out with a small panic. It's important therefore for us to know where outside of here and the forums that XCP is being discussed and the tone of that discussion.

For example: https://cryptrader.com/charts/bter/xcp/btc has a chat section at the bottom and it's hard to tell how rationally commentators there will get in and out.

Good analysis, though, I think those chatter are mainly from poloniex which is more a P&D exchange. Hence the uninformed chat.

Nice site this cryptrader, good to see the bter chart with a better layout.

I really wonder how high XCP will go. I don't regret taking some profits months ago even if I could have done twice more now. Burners should all sell a little bit of their stash to spread XCP adoption.

There where all other coins have try go, but fuel have finished in middle way?

What was the ath,  anybody remember¿

I think it peaked at ~0.024 when it was first traded.

[NexxusDrako]

Do you guys mind if I link to the announcement thread new asset I've built on Counterparty?

Basically, I'm an author who is making their own token for people to buy commissions with and receive a distributed share of the commission revenue.

It's called JaroknCoin.

yep and it was around the range traded now for maybe a week or so. but what needs to be said here is that a) the market segment was maybe by a maginitude more bullish and b) most people were not able to move their coins to an exchange at that time because it was as complicated as building a rocket
