As far as I can tell, most of the coins Bittrex delists are due to various USA regulations, not the actual coin itself. That being said, I personally believe that many of these delistings are good buying opportunities and have very real potential for long term holders.

Because Bittrex is a USA based exchange, they have the SEC to deal with. As. Of late, it seems that regulations have really increased. Research SEC and crypto currency, there is plenty of info published. 

It’s usually the case that exchanges that except fiat trade at several percent higher or more than those that just trade crypto. Take a look at CEX.io as another example. All coins there typically trade at least 10% or more than Bittrex, for example.

This type of thing certainly isn’t a new idea. I’ve seen and heard it discussed countless times, but I’ve never actually heard of anyone doing it successfully or in a way that made it worth it. If someone has, I’d love to hear about it.

I think it is difficult to due various logistics, trade limits, liquidity, wait time etc., and I think it is especially true now given the insane transaction fees and wait time, as mentioned above.

If you had a ton of capital to throw around and offset the fees, sure it would work, in theory anyway. I just doubt that at the end of the day it would very worth it unless you had hundreds of thousands of dollars, very liquid accounts, high trade limits, daily withdrawals/deposits etc.

Even then, you are competing with the few people who are or may be doing it successfully, and I’ve also seen several bots that claim to do this automatically. There is a New Zealand exchange, Crypto- Something, Cryptnomator, perhaps, that even always you to do this right from their platform with several coins.

So yeah, in theory it works, in practice, not so easy.

Any updates on when the SALT platform might go live with a working product?

Anyone know of any updates on this? Is there perhaps a new thread?

Is or has Bittrex credited BTG? I'm not finding anything anywhere. Thanks in advance.

I've seen this happening now to Bittrex users from Syria and Iran, are any other country's users effected at this time?

Given Bittrex is a USA based exchanged, and given the origin country's of the users who seem to be experiencing this, it certainly seems political...

If anyone in any other countries has been affected by this, please add your country as a reply to this comment. 

I think if it's ever confirmed the IOTA devs are heroin addicts, I'd buy a lot more.

Heroin is expensive, this would be a HUGE motivating factor for them to assure that IOTA price sees huge gains so they can afford the habit.

 

HitBtc is a scam exchange? I've never used it, but I have not heard anything bad about it. I guess I have not looked very hard either...

Daily stuff: groceries and bills, gasoline etc.

Guess I'm pretty boring 

Maybe I missed the response stating the obvious and likely most efficient way to earn Bitcoins:

Getting a job, earning fiat and buying bitcoins.

Maybe that sounds like sarcasm, it is not.

You can try all the other things suggested, but the amount of time that many of them take relative to the earning potential seem quite small, especially when compared to other jobs.

For example, trying to earn more Bitcoin from trading Bitcoin works, yes, but works better if you have more fiat to begin with. Also, just by earning fiat from a normal job, putting it in to crypto, and letting it sit is usually more profitable than trying to trade your way up.

Sure, we all hear the success stories: so and so turns $15 into $1 million trading Bitcoin etc.

Truth is, this is the exception, not the rule.

The knowledge and "luck", not to mention free time to stare at and study the charts, required to actually turn a small amount of money into a large amount of crypto, without adding money from an additional source, i.e., working, just does not add up in my opinion, and I say this from experience.

Even in countries where the wages are lower, New Delhi India for example, where I just read average income is $7,500 per year. Just think if you took a fraction of this, even $150 per month, or $1,800 total, and had been putting this in Bitcoin. I'm not going to do the math, but off hand it seems like you would have at least doubled or tripled or yearly income doing this.

I know everyone's situation is different, given skill set, home country and so on, and this may be easier said than done for some, so my apologies in advance for any insensitivities in this context.

So how is the price of $25 for SALT on the website determined? Is it a fixed price?

Also, how, and if so, is the SALT token used in the lending platform? Is it actually built into the use of the lending functions?

You really think it will drop to .50$?

It looks like it's already stabilizing on Bittrex just under the three dollar mark...

We shall see I guess.

Why do you think it's a "pump and dump pos".?

Just because some bought at .25 during the ICO? Isn't it the norm for new tokens to go for quite low to those who get in early? Many stats show that solid projects gain hundreds or even thousands of percent gains after their ICO.

You could be right, but the product and idea seems to check out. Would be interested in hearing how you support your claim, in particular if you feel there are red flags with this project outside of the usual (and much warranted) skepticism that all new crypto projects should be approached with.

I like the looks of this project so far.
Question: How does this compare/contrast with WeTrust (TRST)?

WeTrust seems to have several projects in the works, the first and one I've heard most about being their "trusted lending circles" where one can "build and access credit with trusted groups."

With this description, I think of the Grameen Bank and their micro-finance programs. The bank offers small loans to individials, typically in developing and third world companies, to pursue various entrepreneurial activities. Borrowers join peer group borrowing circles with other borrowers in their community which  improves repayment rates significantly.

I have no idea if TRST is based on a similar model, as I'm yet to dig in further, would be interested in other's input.

SALT, on the other hand, seems like a more traditional, collateral based (one's coins) lending platform.

I'd be interested in hearing folks' thoughts on these and or other, similar platforms, as well as any additions/corrections to my understanding of the platforms.

Well, Herbalife and Avon are pretty much pyramid, MLM scams, so that pretty much sums this coin up for me.

This thread is ridiculous and getting out of control, ridery99 should be banned for spreading this FUD, although it sounds like he may have been already, under a different name.

Clearly he has an agenda, and it's not to help folks out around here with free investment advice.

I think it's ridery99 who has an addiction, and addiction to bullshit, lieing and spreading FUD.
