Yes, exactly. And you're certainly not alone, it's only natural to do it this way because everything is uncertain.

Then again the coins were free so it would have been quite smart to give it a chance and wait. Cause there was nothing to lose and extremely much to win. In fact the project seemed very promising at the time.

I'm interested in asking a simple question to 2013/2014 forum members.

The question is:

Do you hold more or less BTC than back then?

I have less but I have no regrets.  A lot of positive things have happened to me over the years.

To be honest in 2013 I would not have imagined that my own mother hears about Bitcoin from mainstream media in 2017, without me telling her about it. That was a huge surprise and sort of a reality check.

If it never happens again it means that those who this happened to have some sort of Legendary status indeed. It's crazy to even think that something like this has actually happened, don't you think?

Anyway I'm quite convinced that something similar will happen again or is happening right now as we speak. The main difference compared to back then is that everything has become so much more, there's just no way to keep up with everything.

When I started with crypto a few hours a day gave you a pretty good overview of everything

...back in the day you could post "interested" on the thread of NEM (New Economy Movement) and you received a so-called NEMstake worth 2.25 million XEM. Yes you read that right.

Some people became multi-millionaires for posting a simple "interested" on a thread - if you did manage to HODL. XEM's peak was over $1.50/XEM. Granted, not many people are able (either on purpose or by accident) to hodl for that long, in fact it's probably less than 1% of all people in crypto

So next time you feel special about your stake in a promising project, keep this in mind. Not saying that this will ever happen again (it could have been a one time thing) but never say never, right?

wow guys and gals last time I was here BBP was way higher.. close to a 3,000,000$ cap if I remember right. Cool to see that people are still around despite the current sub 500k cap. This community has always seemed interesting to me. Keep building the good stuff. Cheers to y'all

I remember when BCH first came to life and some folks claimed that some sort of "flippening" will happen, BTC would be dethroned etc. Just the thought of this nonsense still makes me giggle. Now watch what is happening to it. Gotta love that comedy. I love crypto for keeping me high-spirited like this.

There's usually a bull run at the end of the year but I wouldn't count on that. The crypto world can be quite unpredictable but then again this is what makes it so utterly interesting. It's always fun to be around IMO. So worry not, the next bull run will come. Do not hope for it too hard and you might find yourself pleasantly suprised soon.

There's money to be made here and so a lot of scammers are around indeed. Like you say, the quantity of bounty scammers has not been decreasing. The opposite is the case. Unfortunately it's very hard to keep track of participants - that's why we see harsher rules to join various campaigns as well as mandatory KYC becoming a thing. Hasn't been like that some time ago - you could just join campaigns easily. Will be interesting to see how things evolve further

Oh, damn - I just wanted to join this nice project's campaign but... it has just ended! What a pity. Would have enjoyed to join the Springrole bounty campaign!

anushkasachith888, do you have any link or something to back your claim? You know, you need to provide some sort of proof. "Verge coin hacked again" is not exactly a very informative statement in itself.

Both will be high by 2020, in any case to me it's obvious that Ethereum will be the most used platform. In fact it has surpassed all the other platforms already as we speak, so keep watching Eth closely. It's one of the global crypto platforms with real adoption. I wouldn't underestimate Bitcoin either, it's the internet's new reserve currency standard now if you ask me.

there are some users that made a lot of friends and gains with one of the oldschool cryptocurrencies. For some it's NEM, for others it's Monero, etc. There are quite a few of those super gainers. If u r one of the more oldschool members of the Bitcointalk, which altcoin wonder back in the day have you been part of personally?

hi deadsea33 I can do my best and I will do my best to support the X. I am not always online but when I am I am trying to use the time constructively. Is there a list of DEX' that are supported by the IX Community so I can help to apply for listing? Thanks, cheers & beers

The price of Tron is by means low, it seems to be very much inflated if you as kme. A market cap of several billion... why? I'm not too sure about that. We'll see more when the mainnet is launched.

True that. It's a movement, the new economy movement! The success of this coin has been absolutely amazing. And there's a feeling in the air that indeed it's only the beginning of a much bigger journey ahead! Cool to be part of it

Are you talking about price? Price is volatile. If you're talking about the tech, Bitcoin is extremely solid. One of the aspects that fascinates me most about it, even after all the years, is how solid and stable its tech is. Awesome, basically.

Seems like a big and ambitious project. From the main page : "Users can use Midas wallet to exchange ETH and ERC-20 tokens directly with DEX like Kyber Network; and soon can exchange many other cryptocurrencies and tokens like NEO, NEP-5 tokens, XLM, Stellar tokens, EOS, v.v.. with respective DEXs.". And the team is mostly from Vietnam I see?

Listing IXCoin on a DEX/the best DEXes on the market today is awesome idea. Amongst others I think you should add it to BarterDex asap. IXC is one of the oldest coins. It deserves a lot of respect. And a lot of people will enjoy finding out about it soon.

People who believe in AE and other advanced crypto platforms are certainly buying at these prices, it's very inviting. Solid entry points. In any case it's good to hold several thousand AE. It's one of the big ones.

Since they want to ID verify everyone let's demand the ID verification of them. There's not even a real photo of anyone on the site. The founder's pic is just a comic image. Seems pretty damn brazen to me to ask for IDs.
