Anybody else looking at ARK? Looks like a very interesting project. Could be a good long term buy around 50000 sat.

What's your take?

Hi there, thanks for this thread and maintaining it alive. I am a complete noob in cryptos and watching your investment grow gives me a lot of encouragement.

As for ARK, I bought some when it was exactly around 50K making a completely stupid noob error of getting into pumped asset. But then it turned out to be a decent coin and I am still holding it. At the same time, doesn't this ambition of creating a bridge between different cryptos look too bold to you, I mean you'd have to be a very good negotiator to attract other coins to use your platform. And isn't it what other devs are trying to do as well. I don't remember exactly what coin it was but when I got into ARK and started learning about it I saw some other well-established coins with similar goals. I think this could be a winning strategy but it will also be a very competitive market.

Another thing I got from this thread was that BURST coin someone recommended here recently. I looked into it and it seems really innovative, allowing mining with spare HDD capacity and even on Android devices, like using your spare space on SD-card. Surely, you can't mine a lot with that but it could still be a good thing for public attention. In fact, I think that since all these cryptos don't have any intrinsic value (just as fiat money) the one that would gain the widest adoption could be the winning coin and making it simple just as BURST does could really help that adoption.

Everyone, pleases share what you think about this, that's what we are here for - sharing thoughts and insights, aren't we?
