Small Cap Alts Speculation

[tokeweed]

The alt market blows.  All gains, while small, are instantly gone the moment BTC goes up by a couple of a percent.  A couple of a percent!  I think the play here is to hold BTC and trade that against USD for now.

I think the price of altcoin will not be able to go up if the price of bitcoin is still like this, the price of bitcoin must go up then the price of altcoin will also go up, even though only at least the price of altcoin can go up to 50% if there is good news.

altcoin can ride with the ability of pumps that they do themselves like BNB some time ago. all platforms must think of ways to pump their own coins on the market and not expect that there will be a pump that works for the altcoin season as a whole. because of such a time we certainly need a high increase in demand in the market.

Top alts could be breaking out.  Some of them (ETH, XRP) are going way a over their monthly highs while BTC is stable at a tad over 10k USD it looks like.  

Some of that action could trickle down to small cap alts...  Get ready!!!

A great small cap project that it seems most people is missing is: XSN - Stakenet.

Here's why:

BTC is king, and it always will be, but it has some major flaws, like it or not.

On-chain, Bitcoin is capped at 7 tx/sec. The more activity the network sees, the slower transactions become.
As it grows in value, fees increase as well.
Lightning allows for a theoretically unlimited number of transactions at near-zero fees, but it has seen stagnant growth because there's little financial incentive for individuals to adopt it on their own.
XSN's solution involves using its decentralized Masternode network and the collateral locked in them to rout payments, act as watchtowers, and provide a ton of liquidity for transactions.
This will bolster Lightning without centralizing it.
Most masternodes projects has no purpose, but Stakenet actually makes use of all these servers standing idle all around the world.

As XSN is inflationary, the supply will slowly increase over time and allow more masternodes to participate.
With this design and approach, BTC will be able to scale and take on much heavier workloads without hitting any major bottlenecks down the road.

Additionally, XSN's masternodes are going to use lightning to restore some of BTC's inherent privacy and anonymity that was compromised by CEXs and KYC.
By embedding TOR into the network and implementing lightning atomic swaps, anyone will be able to instantly and privately swap a wide variety of coins without ever having to send them somewhere that is out of their control. This will greatly minimize the need for businesses that accept crypto to adopt 10 different types of coins as so many of them can be instantly swapped into BTC.
Imagine a standard Bitcoin qt wallet with an extra tab that offers everything that a full scale exchange has and you have the essence of Stakenet.

Are we saying stable coins are not investable? The reliance on bitcoin pump price will not continue to help the space, It is huge effect to the altcoin this year. I hope we are begin to pair more altcoin with USDT alone while you provide a sustainable token volume trade because of the use case. We can take good profits from staking as we do in our stocks. I believe such process can be accepted by older investors who are scared of the coin's volatility.

If you are just eying for your safety towards volatility then you should trade up stocks and forex. Stable coins usage here on crypto is just like a safe haven for avoiding temporal surge of prices but not necessarily for it to be heavily invested but rather having that kind of sole purpose.Its always been pegged with $1 and it isn't bad to have more direct pairs with it though yet this will give out more options but as we all know that high liquidity or reputation will always be a standard as a consideration to have this kind of pair.
About small alt caps, its a matter or choice and decision yet not all are suitable for long term pumps and most of them end up on becoming a shitcoin.

^  I have no idea what goes on in traders' minds when BTC goes sideways but I noticed some alts usually start going up when BTC does go sideways...  Just an observation.

My observation is different, when BTC goes sideways, it normally make altcoins drop, maybe today we are seeing a great performance for altcoins but I doubt it would last. We need BTC to rise like what it did last 2017 so people will be into FOMO buying different coins in the market, and that would certainly affect altcoins and turn into a profitable investment.

the situation is very different buddy, you can see altcoin is now very difficult to move. what happened today is good, but unfortunately not many can survive and be stable. you yourself can see prices go back down, in fact it will get better as you say when bitcoin also makes a big impact on market movements. we must be more patient for the upcoming altcoin season.

I think do not be attracted by the number, the risk is huge when investing in ICOs.  A lot of investors went bankrupt by the end of 2018. According to the current trend at the end of Q4, what I am most interested in right now is probably the only altcoin, especially ETH.

dont forget BNB. this project will produce many green candles in the next altcoin rallye

Well BNB is a good coin and their platform too, but I do not like the way CZ acts. He keeps shilling the project on his twitter, making BNB looks like a clown.
OKB is a good coin too, they are comparable to BNB.
and can you tell me the reason for this ARRR? The thread is not very active, and only a few people are talking about this project.

I noticed too that there was some element of breakout in the value of some altcoins while bitcoin reduced a little, and I am starting to think that the moment that we have all been waiting for has arrived as I could not explain exactly what could have pushed the value that high and what I could think of right now is the altcoins surge has started. I think that it was ripple that made a head for the top first but breaking the number that it has been on for years now, I also saw some coins too follow by example.

If that is it, then bitcoin might be resting for a while now, maybe months before heading for its new all-time high again, and then start attracting more and more investors, but right now, altcoins might be the ones attracting first.

[Spaffin]

Even before the beginning of 2019, every cryptocurrency user believed that Bitcoin very much affects the pricing of the entire cryptocurrency market.  Since the beginning of the year, we have already noticed a growth in Bitcoin from $ 3,000 to $ 13,000, but altcoin did not improve their performance in the same percentage as Bitcoin.  I believe that if the price of Bitcoin improves, it is only due to the fact that users sell their altcoin and invest their money in Bitcoin.

of course. that is the most promising privacy coin on the market at the moment
even the Moreno devs have praised Pirate for all the structur

I like altcoins with small-cap, its the place where we can do again x2-x10.  On my top list, TNT, ANKR, 3DC, Dusk

[binhvo1505]

 I encourage everyone to consider Bitcoin2. This is truly an underestimated business, it is currently trading under $ 1 with a total supply equal to Bitcoin.
We can expect it to replace bitcoin in a few years.

Yup but only for 2018 and 2019.  Check the charts for the year 2015, 2016 and (def) 2017.  BTC was mostly sideways (except 2017) but most alts were doing well and pumps were everywhere.  Lolol.

Bitcoin 2 is a shitcoin and it's a scam coin. if that was promising and that must not be traded below $1.
The price of bitcoin 2 has already proven if that was a shitcoin without any interest from the buyers or even investors who have been getting trapped to buy that crap fork coin again.
I may about that if that was not a forked coin but scam coin will be much acceptable to be used by bitcoin 2 as the correct name.

It's prolly a good idea to discuss pess popular alts and ICO's with less than 30m - 50m USD market cap in one thread.

Anyway check ANKR out...  It could be good for a nice, quick trade. 

Kyber Network $34M
Stratis $34M - Not really sure about this, Strats is one of the most hype project in 2017, but from what i heard they keep delaying their progression thus their price stop moving
Matic Network $27M - one of the hyped IEO on Binance, they are kinda related to Ethereum because they focus on scaling issues of Ethereum. If Ethereum 2.0 could scale well with the additional scaling through Matic Network, it gonna worth alot

[dearbesz1219]

When you think about it, altcoins lost 90% of its value in years 2017-2019, so now almost all of them are small cap coins. 
But if you are looking for coins with very low market cap, check LHCrypto. They have working product and soon they will accept LHCoin as a main payment on their trading platform.
