Situational question
Being in a vegetative state or in a comatose state entails a lot of financial, physical and emotional sacrifices for the families of the patient.
Given the fact that someone close to you or you yourself is in a comatose state, will you allow for the "pulling of the plug" or will you fight for your life?

I would only buy them for the short term from a trading perspective if I thought I could make money on them, that applies to just about any alt.  From an ideological level they're both garbage clones meant to ride BTC's popularity and leech from it's success.

Does anyone here have an opinion of altoins that are under $1 that are worth investing?  Because the lower it is, the more X amount you can.


For example if a coin is 10 cents and say you buy 10000 of them, thats 1000 USD.  If this coin goes up to 1 dollar, that is 10x your money or 10000.  Now if it goes up to 10 dollars, that would be 100x. 


The thing is if you get a coin for 10 cents, how much can you really lose?  Because no coin goes to 0 right?  I mean it might go down to 0.002 etc if it does?  But if it goes from 10 cents to 15 cents, thats 50 percent your investment which is huge.  The thing is people say invest in bitcoin.  But the issue is look at the price.  Its around 4000 usd for a btc.  Let say you buy 1 btc.  If it goes up to 5000 usd, yes you make 1000 usd.  But if a coin is 10 cents and you buy say 50000 of them for 5000, well it going up to 12 cents would make you the same money as compared with btc. 


How many coins has went all the way down to say 0.01 or less that was at 1 dollar at one point?


How many coins has went from less than say 25 cents or less and at least doubled VS dropped more than 1/2 the price?  That is what im very curious at.  Now if a coin is at 0.002 etc and stays around there thats not much about it.  But it seems like coins under 1 dollar that shows potential if you look at the chart seems like a good idea?  Since there is so much you could make?  For example if there is a coin that is 10 cents and people talk good about it... that seems like a better idea than buying btc right for say 5k?  Like i think it would be better to buy 50000 of a coin at 10 cent than 5000 usd worth of btc.  Because that coin only has to increase 2 cents compared to btc increasing 1000 usd though someone here says thats not how you should look at it etc.


But thoughts on what coins under 1 dollar is good?  The thing is if a coin is less than 10 cents, that could mean a potential for a lot of money.  Like a coin being 10 cents and it going up to 25 cents would be pretty huge if you bought like 100000 of it etc.

• Shift wants to decentralize the internet and they have started their mission by creating a DApp called Phantom and a DApp SDK tool which will both be released this September. The Phantom release has been much anticipated for by the Shift community and represents a milestone in the development and recognition of the coin. It will allow users to store files on the decentralized internet using the IPFS protocol. The Dapp SDK tool will allow developers to build decentralized applications on the shift blockchain, thus drastically increasing the value of the coin.

• Unlike Ethereum, Shift is written in JavaScript, a language familiar to most web developers, together with an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI), Phantom can be easily adopted by the vast majority of web developers.

• Shift uses a decentralized Proof of Stake system to mine the blocks, for a detailed description on the difference between dPoW and dPoS systems I would advise hitting up Wikipedia or a good explanation on youtube. The most important thing to remember is that dPoS is the better environmental option as it requires less energy for blocks to be forged. As energy will become more expensive in the future, dPoS systems ensure that the Shift code is future proof.

• Lisk, Shift’s closest resembling competitor, currently stands at a market cap of 681 USD million, whilst Shift stands at market cap of 17 milion USD. That’s a whopping x40 return of investment (ROI) if shift hits that same market cap!

• On top of the website release in september, Shift will drop their new whitepaper, roadmap, SDK tool and will release Phantom at the end of Q3 and Q4 of 2017. So you could say they got a lot coming for the 4th quarter of 2017!

• On top of all the updates Shift is releasing, they will also commence with their marketing plan. Now let me remind you that Shift has never performed any marketing prior to the Phantom release yet because they have been working non-stop on the technology. This gives Shift the underdog position, and makes it possible to get a x10, x20, x40 ROI once Shift attracts new possible investors.

As of now, the tech is done, the marketing plan is written, the marketing funds are in and Shift is ready to shoot through the roof! So pile up on that shift now, because once Phantom drops and their marketing gets going, you will never see Shift at $1.50 again!

Do you think during this era Masters degree is really important to survive in this competitive world ??

If not then why master degree is not necessary

In my opinion masters degree is really important for anyone to be good in certain field because it is an era of specialization and everyone needs best.

This thing is on fire...  

The bot checks for altcoins, which are traded on both Poloniex and Bittrex and compares their prices. If the difference is big enough to earn at least some satoshis (after deducting transfer fees), it enters the trade. The bot records its activities and exchange rates in a database and uses this information to reinvest a portion of its profits into the most profitable (in terms of arbitragable) altcoin. Additionally, the amount of held altcoins is calculated based on their exchange rate. This allows the bot to profit from hyped (PnD) coins. You can see the bot running on a $5 Digital Ocean VPS here: http://178.17.174.178/

Feedback & contributions are highly appreciated.

What websites (besides this forum) or other sources do you use to get news about your coins?
I read on bitcointalk but have the feeling that I miss a lot of interesting news about the coins I own (currently BTC, OMG, ADX, SUB, KMD, ARK, BLOCK, ETH) and would like to stay more 'in the news'.

Thanks in advance for your reply!
