Re: [ANN] ION [ION] | POS 3.0 | Mobile Gaming

Don't need a hug. Appreciate the liar comment. There have been naysayers for every coin. It started out good with PC and then went bad. You are kinda of changing my experience to suit your argument. Hindsight is really easy. I will ignore the other troll like comments and concentrate on the one piece of advice you gave:

   1/1/2017   12/31/2017   %
Bitcoin   $963.06    $13,882.20    1441%
Ethereum   $8.26    $763.79    9247%
Ripple   $0.01    $2.24    34251%
Litecoin   $4.37    $229.53    5252%
Dash   $11.26    $1,043.70    9269%
Monero   $13.58    347.36   2558%
Ion   $0.27    3.22   1192%

"PC" meaning Paycoin? Which part of it was good? It started as a cover-up for a ponzi scheme, how in the world can that be good? SEC lawsuit, ring a bell?

Not sure what you're trying to show with the numbers there and I certainly didn't give you any advice, nor should you listen to any advice on the intertubes forums.

Dude let the PC thing go. It did start out good before the ponzi scheme, at the beginning way before any of that crap. Then it went to hell. Sorry, was trying to clean up the table. I took your advice of investing in any of the top ten coins on 1-1-17 and looking at the return today. You can listen to any advice, acting on it gets you in trouble.

your stats dont reflect the trueness of bitcoin.

you cant use usd values of all. at the begnning you spent x bitcoin to get ion, monero and dash. they dont have usd pairs. if you want to be true you need to calculate a starting usd in btc then show growth in that amount for all.

next youve picked a point in time that works for you. it might be your chosen buy sell time but it doesnt show all. ion floated at ico over double its satoshi value it is now. compared to btc holding value thats a huge lose in profit. you are speaking from fact like everyone bought at 1/1/2017 this is not true... are you ignoring that those buying at 45000 sat lost value holding compared to btc?

the truth is holding btc value was better than buying ion... this is fact are you denying that?

can you do your table again compared in btc value starting ion ico date? i can repost my stats if you like. id be interested to see if you agree and why or why not.

ion is on 1 exchange... 2 if you count their own. i wouldnt because any coin that runs its own market can taint it so it should be ignored.

if bittrex folds or fails where is ion? its only on bittrex because they paid the btc fee. its not there on its merits.

I didn't pick a random time to suit me, I based it off your statement: "There are plenty of coins with more liquidity, less risk, and consequently better returns. E.g. if you put your money into a basket of top 10 coins (by marketcap) a year ago you'd be better off today. It takes a special kind of shitcoin to underperform this bubble and congrats - you found it." I am sure we could pick the best and worst dates to prove any point. I agreed with you that BTC was a better investment, at the one year mark. I also did not allude to everyone buying at that time. I also pointed out that "I think Ion is doing alright considering it getting pretty close to Btc's performance, but just my opinion." This states by reference, and by the chart, that BTC is better, but Ion is far from a "shitcoin", in my opinion. Don't trust internet opinions. I don't think you read the parts where I agree with you?

The "trueness of Bitcoin"? I may need enlightenment on that, never heard that phrase before. I do understand Bitcoin, limited supply, huge power cost, slow execution times, etc. It needs to solve a few challenges. Yes you can use USD values, if you know the value of BTC/USD at the point in question. They don't have to have USD pairs if you know the Coin/BTC exchange rate and the BTC/USD rate at a given time. In regards to tainting the market, there has been concerns regarding Bitcoin and market manipulation (one article: WSJ: Bitcoin Futures Manipulation 101: How Banging the Close Works), so I don't think any coin is safe from whales doing what they do.
