I don't know for sure... of course you can't pay the bitcoin fees, but in investing in really cheap alts, and with luck, maybe he could do something.
In an ideal world, I'd like to think that even people with really short income could invest in crypto and achieve some projects (maybe not to be rich, but to build something).
Plus we mustn't forget there are nowadays, even in Europa, countries where the minimum monthly income is 250 or 300$. So 1$ doesn't have the same relative value at all !! From that perspective I think we shouldn't discourage such initiatives.

Hey Thanks for the Airdrop. Didn't know TRX, found your website... It seems to be a really interesting project for the promotion and distribution of artistic content through blockchain. I'm not sure yet how it works, but I'll definiteively keep an eye on it during the next months and read the whitepaper carefully. Wish you success guys !

1,5$ is really a short amount.... and make it 150$ in 1 year seems to me really difficult. (that's x 100, so... 10000% return on investment?)
AFAIC I would  try 2 eventual strategies :
1-  like someone said buy an apple (assuming the 1.5$ is already in the exchange), that's to say 1 unit of an alt which actual rate is between 1 and 1.5$ and wait the rate makes x2 (so +100%), sell, then wait to buy it again when it's low enough, or buy 4 units of an other kind of apple, or a peer, then wait a + 100%...
2- Or buy a bunch of srawberries or cherries for a few cents each unit (from 0.01 to 0.2) , with low caps, and whom projects, tech. features or whatever seems to have an interesting future application, or brings something new to the blockchain ecosystem (keeping in mind that like 90% of the currencies here, it's only mental projections and presumptions on what MIGHT or COULD be their future applications... so it's a gamble). Then hodl, or buy a bigger bunch of another promising one if you make some profit. And never sell in a panic movement, but only when you make profit, even if it's only 2 or 3%.

I would chose the 2d approach, but for a real experiment,  I would simultaneously try the 2 paths  to see which is the more efficient. And I don't think it can make x100 in one year, but maybe x10? But in crypto world, who knows...

So maybe 1.5$ on the first option, 1.5$ on the 2d one. To be honest, I would throw at least 10 or 20 bucks at it, to be a little more comfortable with the alts I pick up and diversify a little...

Yeah in my country they have it also. They call it national lottery.

I would theorically (yet not empirically) think the opposite : if you are patient enough, and try to hold enough to buy low and sell high, on a long term perspective it's always a win. At least as long as there is a sufficient interest in digital currencies and blockchain technology. But just my 10 cents.

Satoshi is Kayzer Söze

S**** UP and hold 

Why not? I think so too, but who knows? many events can happen in digital as well as "real" financial world in the next 5 years. Whatever happens, we must remember that we are now living extraordinary times of change in the way human beings are connected and interact. BTC is a part of it, and maybe a bigger part than what we're aware of.

That's what I meant, but what is now the difference between money and virtual money, in those times where banks and financial institutions can create and emit debt from nothing? I don't bellieve a physical Bitcoin is necessary, I even think it's one of its major asset to be immaterial.



Why? Can you please elaborate on this?

I tend to think that Bitcoin IS a money, in the more common and usual sense, in the sense of the wikipedia definition.
According to the Webster's definition that gives the OP, it doesn't fill the 3d and 4th requirement to be considered as a money. But is it still relevant in the contemporary economic scheme, and after the digital revolution?  

Let's travel together in the future, until the year 2056, after the 4859th Bitcoin fork.
Bitcoin Wood2x was a real revolution in blockchain technology, and this time really succeeded to make Bitcoin decentralized again. Can you imagine? Don't even need a computer anymore to mine it, only a good old axe and average lumberjack hands. Blocksize -or logsize ( "block" is now called "log" since the Bitcoin Wood1x Fork) is approximatively 50x10cm. Please prefer oak-tree or beech for a regular and homogeneous heat diffusion. Not only ASIC, but also Chainsaw-Resistant (unlikely the Wood 1x Fork).
When you look back in 2013, nobody heard about Bitcoin, everybody was laughing at us, calling us no-life unmature geeks. And look at us now, early and happy believers. Didn't we tell you Bitcoin was the future?

I think Aeon, DNT, QRL, XPM are really undervalued now.

Bookmarked ! Definitively want to follow this portfolio.

Don't really know about a blockchain to dl, but here is a list of public nodes:

You can sync simplewallet with them.

You don't lose money as long as you don't sell... why don't you wait for an increase of the value? I'm not a trader myself, but isn't the golden rule of you all "buy low, sell high"?
Hardly all altcoins (and at a certain point even Bitcoin) are unstable. If you want to invest in something 100% secure and stable, maybe the digital currencies market is not the best place to put your money in ?.


why should "they"? Do you pay "them" a salary , do you give them some money for that? did you sign a contract with them, with some precise engagements?

two months is not so long...  Unless you really need that money right now, but if it's the case if I was you, I wouldn't put so much money that I could urgently need in the digital currencies market.
But I'm not you, so I also have a (naive?) question : why did you buy some Aeon at the moment where it was the highest? If you lose the amount of money you're talking about, it means you bought probably end of May/beginning of June when it was the highest, around 1$. As I said, I'm not really an investor myself, but are usually investors buy at the highest ever value of a currency? Is it really a wise thing to do? Would it not have been better to wait a little to see if it's only a short peak or a constant increase? Please see no malicious intent in my question, it's just a newbie thought, maybe I miss something...

Lol our unique Aeon clown strikes again... thank you for the entertainment

hey mate, BTW, even assuming you're acting here in good faith, here is the Aeon thread isn't it? Not Sumokoin. And we curiously often read some advertising on Sumokoin here those days just after some good old FUD about Aeon...
So please open a new thread if you want to promote another currency in the "altcoin discussion" subforum;  it's common sense, and a lot more appropriate.

I also think Aeon has a lot potential on the long term.
Maybe it's presumptuous, but it seems to me that the majority of the members of the community is more attached to the vision behind this currency, and the achievements that will bring the future improvements, than to the daily little fluctuations and the (eventual) profits of immediate speculation.

Smart people here  makes me proud to be an Aeoner, and I hope little by little a bigger Aeowner 

By the way, the technical statements and direction given by Smooth were very clear, It's really useless and counterproductive to argue and ask about it everyday ! We shouldn't pay too much attention to the desperate trolling of a few FUDders, and the best answer should be to ignore them until they are tired of their own absurd behavior.
Take your time, man, actually take all the time you need... Makers make, whiners whine, it's the normal course of things.

Really interesting and original concept, great way to use blockchain technology... I will try to figure out how it works, and soon join the steem adventure 

Well, it's not so much about your personality, I don't know you.
But It's just that what you are saying doesn't help. Can you in concrete terms do something to fix the situation? It's an open source project, so feel free to take your responsibility and contribute if you can.
If not, let's trust the people who can do it. No need to panic and give contradictory speeches every 2 days...
