Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
Bitcoin has turned into the bank you have to go to if you want to buy altcoins
I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain?
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
I moved this thread to Bitcoin discussion to continue the poll. I felt it would never be seen in the Archival section.
I would still like to get replies from new forum users about why they joined this forum.
Thank you

Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
I'm actually surprised with the results (I'm not new to crypto).
My expectations was far less on "bitcoin-only", but people here are usually new to crypto and don't know much about altcoins yet.
It doesn't matter what you belive will happen on BTC vs altcoin in the long run, we live now. Current returns on altcoins vs BTC are insane and there is no other way that can double one bitcoin faster. (regardless of BTC/USD) The (unlikely) risk of a bitcoin-killer is here and the bitcoin protocoll would never able to adapt fast enough. It's 100% impossible that f.e we will ever see PoS in bitcoin since there are far to many people (miners) interrested in keeping it the way it is.
Ignoring altcoins is like igoring the most innovative part of crypto. People were able to see the potential of bitcoin, but now some of those are so in love with bitcoin that they can't see the potential in altcoins. Altcoins don't need bitcoiners to buy them, there are sill enough people left that haven't heard of crypto yet.

You can actually make money trading altcoins..at least if you have any sense not to mine all the new coins with...lousy names for example 
The only way I see to currently get returns on bitcoins is via altcoin tradeing. It doesn't matter what you belive will happen on BTC vs altcoin in the long run, we live now.

I'm just the opposite, I thought almost all answers would be "Bitcoin only" considering this is a Bitcoin forum. The mods and users here take a pretty dim view of altcoins. Altcoin threads in every other section but "Alternate cryptocurrencies" are reported and moved right away. The early adopter crowd (hero members) are horny to get as much for their coins as possible so they push Bitcoin like preachers push Jesus. I've seen people attacked for just mentioning an altcoin in a thread without making fun of it. I agree that altcoins can't just be ignored. Obviously, according to the poll, altcoins are a big reason people are coming here.
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
This poll will never give you accurate results because of the following reasons:
- The title that seems to be asking a leading question.
- The fact that bitcoin only is just one option in the poll.
- The fact that this is in the newbie section. I understand this may be by design. You just want noobs to vote. But it doesn't give you the true picture of the community as a whole. Of course noobs are going to get into alts because a) they're obsessed with mining b) everyone is telling them the bitcoin boat has sailed.
Finally this:
The most obvious option is "I came here for bitcoin but later got interested in alts too". 98% will vote for that option.

Help me change the poll. What option would you add without adding every altcoin in existence (the poll would be too long and always incomplete).

You're right. That is by design. I didn't want people to feel pressured to vote for Bitcoin simply because they are at a Bitcoin forum. Nonbelievers here can be attacked pretty severely for their lack of Bitcoin faith. This place is worse than a Linux forum. Have you ever attempted to say you use Windows at a Linux forum. You may as well slit your own throat.
No, "I came here for bitcoin but later got interested in alts too" won't work. I don't want ANY old Bitcoin users to skew the vote. I already know how many old users are into alts. Their posts are in the alt coin subsection. I don't want to know what they did "later". I want new people with just a few posts to tell me why they registered. If you voted please remove it because you are skewing the results.
I didn't vote. The reason I said you should add that option is that Bitcoin is the most high profile of all crypto currencies. Everyone hears about bitcoin first and then about alt coins. It is natural if you think about it.

It's a false assumption that 98% of the current members of this forum are interested in altcoins.
I was talking about new members. They hear about mining bitcoins, come here, learn that bitcoin mining is no longer for common folk and then get into alt coins.
Ah, I understand. I still think they are represented in the answer "Bitcoin only". Remember, I want to know why they came here not what they are doing after they arrive.

Re: Are the burgers in McDonald getting smaller globally?
Your missing out though.

In N Out makes the best hamburger out of all the fast food restaurants and those fries are perfect in every way. I hear the meat patties are ground up homosexuals that the Mormon owners skin alive in Utah. Yum!
we should have wife swap or ebays to sell spouses on the interwebz
Why would anyone want to swap wives? If you don't want her I sure as hell don't. What if yours is more fucked up than mine is!
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
I'm mining Vertcoin at the moment, but holding in Vertcoin and Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the original, with mainstream interest and value and Vertcoin seems to offer something fresh and innovative in the crypto space. My tuppence worth!
What the hell is Vertcoin? I can't keep up with all the new coins being made.
Hahah this is me everyday with all these crapcoins.
moonbat, please tell us what's so fresh and innovative about Vertcoin.
What makes them crap and Bitcoin not crap? Aren't they all basically the same with different infrastructures supporting them? Sure most of the alts are scrypt but that isn't a flaw. Litecoin actually corrects some of the built in problems with Bitcoin.
I really think we need a scorecard for deleted posts.
I think I'm nailing it
I think I'm nailing it
Are you willing to bet on that?
Well, no. I wasn't the one who actually insulted the Mods. I just get a lot of PM's saying message deleted.
What did you do?
I've gone from hero member to newbie several times over.
That was self imposed punishment.

New people are ignored here (or worse they're ridiculed). Don't expect to reasonably participate in a debate, ask for assistance or provide help to anyone. It will not be well received by most of the hero trolls members unless you have over 1000 posts and have been here for more than a year.
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
Does anyone feel that having so many different coins is diluting the value of all of them. Too much of a good thing maybe?
Yeah, but let the kids have their toys to play with. They'll grow out of 'em and move on to bigger and better things hopefully.
I don't know that you can discount it that easily. People feel disconnected from Bitcoin because of the reward issue. That needs to be solved before people will flock to Bitcoin again.
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
I am here exclusively for Bitcoin. I never really became interested in others.
Do you mine or are you here just to learn about it and buy?
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
Fascinating, very few new members are here for just Bitcoin. If the layout of this forum followed the direction of new membership then there would be a single small section named Bitcoin and the rest of the forum would be alternate cryptocurrencies.
I would like as many people as possible to vote. The alternate cryptocurrencies subsection just recently got sub forums. I guess management realizes how big a draw that section is.
Once again.
Re: VOTE - POLL How many of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin?
I was interested in BTC and LTC but worldcoin is quite tempting (waiting for the "scharmbeck" effect) !
I agree worldcoin looks interesting.

Re: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose(country)?
Rio has the best looking women in the world and they don't play hard to get. The tequila flows all night like a river.
That's one of my top travel destinations. I've never been, but I'd love to...
The beaches look amazing!
Yeah, it totally kicks ass. I went on a vacation to Amazonia to do crazy shit like feed Piranha off the side of a boat. I just couldn't leave the area without spending some time in Rio again. It is so easy to get laid there and I'm not remotely attractive.
