Yes it is a fine way of tallying a total because they have no other information. You could say hey I posted 30 times this week but only got credit for 9. How would you or they prove or disprove anything you said? For that reason you go with what is front of you, and besides it isn't hard to be on topic and realize which boards will probably get deleted. In case you need a refresher here are the unofficial rules of the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Out of those ones I believe Binance is the best and that is because I rarely or don't use the others. Poloniex is the only other one I have used and they haven't added any coins or tokens as of late but I understand why that is too (US based).

I don't believe ICO stage is best to buy, the best time I have always found is waiting for the coin or token to get on an exchange and waiting to buy that dip. Obviously during bull run this method doesn't work well. If you can see a bull run before it happens, I would hop in several ICOs. It all boils down to timing and the market, as sometimes it will be better to get in ICOs and others it will be better for buying dips.

Tons of reasons for BTC to be market leader and it is because BTC is a secure, decentralized, immutable, transparent, transnational, open, censorship resistant robust payment system. Scaling is an issue that will always be present therefore it isn't a true issue. I don't think any of the concerns you listed are true concerns for Bitcoin and the points you made for Ethereum they seem weak as to why ETH would usurp Bitcoin. I don't see it happening but then again I only see Ethereum as a tool to make ICOs. It provides nothing beyond that as of now.

Airdrops can be worthwhile but overall most people will spend more time than it is worth and will end up with less than they would have working a normal job. DeepOnion drop is over this week if I remember correctly but you could join an airdrop like Byteball or Bitcore both of those are still ongoing I believe. Lastly, everybody is trying to trade to acquire more Bitcoins it is just human nature to be greedy and want more than we need. Take solace in the fact we are all the same but also because we are all greedy know there is more opportunity out there for you and this wasn't the end of it. Knowing that alone can motivate one to get it done. You can do it!

Well I think that Bitcoin is going to be at least 30k by years end which means Ethereum will be at least $1500 most likely. If you have your current holdings of 69 ETH x $1500 per ETH = $103,500. That is the low end estimate and if Bitcoin can be 60k well you got your 200k. Clearly the success of your Ethereum hinges on Bitcoin, root for Bitcoin .

I have always chosen to buy Bitcoin at market price but at the same time I have always wanted Ethereum. For that reason I began mining Ethereum late last year and I have to say I enjoying owning and holding both. Obviously I am more bullish on Bitcoin's future, but I believe Ethereum has just as bright a future granted they can knock out some solid smart contracts.

Awesome can't wait to see how the platform looks and probably just as important how cute the girls are . Where does one get their hands on this newsletter? I would love to know what is in store for later!

Anything can happen but this bull run everybody seems hyped about will only happen if we surpass 12k Bitcoin resistance. After that line is breached then we are good to go. Until that moment in time I will still believe we are in a market that is consolidating. The signs however look bright and if we get two more weeks of a steady rise you can likely place your bet we are off and running .

You can get a hardware wallet, this will solve all your problems. That is basically the only way to have an always offline computer, either that or you could build yourself one. I am not advanced like that, making me opt for the retailer wallet.

When I first started last year I invested in Storj at the top, had to eat a 50% loss as I thought they were doomed. This was right before a random spike of 100%, boy did that hurt me right in the feels .

Gotta keep calm and carry on like usual. If you let your emotions get the best of you, you won't last a new york minute in trading. Same goes for blame and guilt, you gotta be okay losing a couple trades so that in the long run you can win more than you lose.

My mind had assumed the worst when I saw the other locked thread, a Telegram group would go a long way to put those fears to rest and in general to help aid communication !

They scale worse than the big boys, and the big caps already have problems. I wonder if these coins will be 1:1 fungible and if many retailers will accept them. Basically my main concern comes around the usage and utility these tokens and coins can provide. If you can't use them, then whats the point?

Yeah that much and that is about it, everything else will slowly die off in my opinion. Hard to see thousands of coins actually competing when most off them are just smoke and mirror promises.

Initially when I first started in this industry I was. Since getting my hardware wallet and using 2FA on every website that I possibly can, I don't feel scared anymore. If you protect yourself correctly you have nothing to fear.

They are rising because Bitcoin is rising it is as simple as that. Look to Bitcoin for what the rest of the market will do, altcoins success and downfalls are usually tied to whatever Bitcoin is doing at the moment.

This is sweet for those living in Thailand. And I am extra jealous because you lot get to save 5%+ more than I can in my country. Kudos

If there was an average amount I would go for that one. One with a small amount of people doesn't show a ton of interest although the project could be good. One with loads of people is likely to get the raise but then you are getting a small piece of the pie. The best of both worlds for me is in between that amount, which gets the raise yet the people are small enough you also get a good piece.

It won't effect the price at all, but this is great news in the sense it can provide good publicity on a grand state. Hopefully from all this commotion Bitcoin can gain some more credibility .
