Hi Guys!

I bought ripple at $2.50 and i am at very high losses. I wanted to know if and when it will reach $3, $4 and if my stars shine $5 ?  Please help. I am being as much patient i can but i am honestly dying from the inside looking at the prices.
Damn, I'm really sorry for your losses, but I'm don't really understand what brought you guys to crypto in the first place.
Coins like ripple have nothing to do with decentralization, and the features brought by this technology are nothing better than what is already available out there.

I would call it a no trade zone. I see a chance that it may continue to go down, but there is still a risk that it can shoot up right after you sell it. Now it's the time to be patient, and hold, if you have not sold already. Or buy in the next dip, if you have money at your disposal.

None of these. I feel that Bitcoin is going to pass through a major correction soon, and when that happens, alts also crash (at least that's what has happened in the past months).

Re: Do you think an ICO, or coin, is all about the marketing?

For ICOs, it's all about marketing, I look at coinmarketcap.com and I have trouble finding something with real substance.

For cryptocurrencies in general, we have to be fair and give some merit for alts like Litecoin and Monero.

The more people will use the wallet and understand the advantages of byteball the better. Hence the merchants are indeed a good idea.

What is missing though is more Marketing and adoption. So that people actually talk about it. This coins is likely ONE OF THE BIGGEST successes in 2017 - yet it is hardly talked about. More us tech guys know about it.

I believe in Tony and that longterm the price will be up again, for sure in coming weeks as we get closer to the full moon.

I was a big believer of this project. But when I used other wallets of Ark, PIVX and Decred, I stopped believing in Byteball wallet's superiority. Yes, the chatbot function is nice. But that cannot be enough to think Byteball should be in top 30 or 50 crypto.

Blackbytes may have some advantage in privacy, but PIVX's zPIV looks better in terms of ease of use, as far as I can tell.

Maybe it's just I don't fully appreciate technical attractiveness of Byteball, but for the time being, I am comfortable with investing in other nice projects. When price uptrend is back, I may come back to buy some bytes , though.
I'm sorry to tell you that the superiority of a cryptocurrency depends on the protocol, not on the wallet.

I am well aware of that, but still the wallet is what people interact with when cryptocurrency is used. And I am saying that Byteball wallet alone cannot be a great selling point when there are other wonderful wallets available.
Still not a very good way to look at the virtues of any cryptocurrency. Wallets can be made by third parties. If you have a solid network structure, good developers will come up with something that fits better for you.

Well, blockchains don't die. I hope DAGs also don't die. In that case someone could create an obituary counter, like there is for Bitcoin. Just for fun

Bitcoin was created by a man who goes by "Satoshi Nakomoto", a pseudonym (most likely). This man hasn't been active on here since 2010, when he disappeared...
I'm sure that at the beginning there was a single person with a deep knowledge of the blockchain technology, but to implement the whole thing he would need individuals with knowledge in different fields. So I would say Bitcoin was created by a group of scientists.

Byeball is the same type of technologies with IOTA so I don't think it good to hold tight
Both are DAG based, but they function in a very different way. It's like comparing Litecoin to Monero because they're both PoW.

Also, Byteball is built from scratch.

Re: What if Bitcoin mining becomes illegal world wide?
by

on 26/09/2017, 09:05:11 UTC
Then miners would mine illegally. It's not something they will stop doing, when they have so much money invested in it and specialization acquired over so many years.
Also remember, people do much riskier things when there is money to be made.

At some point, fiat currencies all over the world will suffer high devaluation, and we may see insane levels of instability. People will look for something better... but it will take time before they see that Bitcoin is the right way.

Re: ICOs are a legit or Scam?
by

on 26/09/2017, 08:47:10 UTC
If some ICO doesn't use transparency mechanisms, to ensure that developers are not creating thousands of addresses to fake the number of users participating on it, then you are at the risk of investing in something with highly centralized supply, and potential scam.

At this point chances are high that it will go above $4,000... The main question to me is how high can it go. I think the main limiting factor will be the segwit2x nonsense.

Bitcoin Cash. The price is still below $600 now. It is possible it will rise further.
Could you bring some base to your statement? Because I see only a coin with almost no developers and highly centralized mining.

Keep an eye on Byteball if you believe in true innovation. Besides DAG, I don't know any other tech that scales better than blockchain.

There is not much smart money in the market right now.

People look at the price, but not at the supply.... Why not contact the exchanges and coinmarketcap.com to change the unit to MB.
Do you guys think that waiting for the smart money will bring more benefits in the long term?

Isn't bitcoin a token technically? It is a reward given to the miners for maintaining, inserting blocks into the blockchain. But we can use it as a currency because we can buy things and services thru it. So, it does not matter if they call it token or coin. It is still bitcoin to us.
From what I know, token is something you use to represent something else, and which would be used for you to redeem this something else.

Currency is something you use to exchange for anything else.

It is absolutely fine with me somebody calls Bitcoin- token, however, by doing so they actually demonstrate the lack of their knowledge in the sphere, which discredits what they are talking about, no matter how logical it might seem. On the other hand, it's not an awful mistake of course, but sometimes it can be unpleasant
Yeah, I also think this person would be demonstrating lack of knowledge about it. In this thread only I have seen a lot of more appropriate names for it: currency, cryptocurrency, digital currency, asset, digital asset or the simplest one, coin.
