The difference in market growth is what drives some people to suggest that Ethereum quickly become Bitcoin's biggest rival for the top spot in the crypto world in Crete. Ethereum is only available for two years, while Bitcoin has been in the market for over a decade. Actually, Bitcoin's age may be a barrier and even sparked a debate about how to measure Bitcoin's network in order to accommodate the booming user pool of Bitcoin and the transaction gets very hot. With Bitcoin still relying on many of the original codes, other cryptocurrencies can take into account the pitfalls that Bitcoin experienced when developing their own systems.
Re: ❤️Etheal❤️OS of Healthcare[ANN][Pre-Sale 🔥ENDS DEC 15🔥] +25% bonus, 200% HODL]
wow, really nice project for helping people, healt care, it must be a success projet for now and the future, i really apriciated this, good luck 
I THINK:
Monero (XMR)
This privacy coins value shot from $50 to $300 in a few months, arguably not because of hype but because their technology actually works. By displaying a cryptographic hash that can only be deciphered by the sender and recipient, it ensures the coin and its transactions remain anonymous.
Neo
This coin is positioning itself to become the Ethereum of China, assuming that the country relaxes its stance on Bitcoin and ICOs. Neo has 65 million coins in circulation out of its cap of 100 million coins.
Ripple (XRP)
With 17,000% growth in 2017, Ripple has surpassed Ethereum in market cap and was neck and neck with Bitcoin Cash as Bitcoin cores successor. Banks are testing Ripples technology for cross-border transactions, and its earned a spot on the Bloomberg terminal.

The most troubling aspect of ExaCoin in addition to being an obvious Ponzi scheme is that it might be a substitute for Chinese scammers skirting the countrys recent ICO ban.
China is the 2nd largest source of traffic to the ExaCoin website after Vietnam.
Chinese scammers must be running the company through Vietnam, or ExaCoin has been able to solicit an unusually high amount of Chinese investment.
The investment is illegal and considering the highly public nature of Chinas ICO ban, a big responsibility should Chinese authorities intervene.
To top that there is the obvious Ponzi fraud, common to all altcoin ICO lending schemes.
The affiliates of ExaCoin invest real money in exchange for worthless EXA points.
At present, the EXA points are not publicly tradeable and have no purpose outside of ExaCoin itself.
EXA is being invested in within ExaCoin exclusively on the promise of projected returns. It includes the daily ROI that are being paid out as compensation and baseless projections EXA points will rise in value.
The trick behind ExaCoins ROI revenue is the usual cryptocurrency trading cliché.
Their website states Exa is a platform that provides analyses and exploits of 1,300 cryptocurrencies market.
Of course ExaCoin does not provide any proof of cryptocurrency trading taking place, much the less any external revenue used to fund affiliate ROI payouts.
New affiliate investment is the only provable source of revenue entering ExaCoin. The use of new investment to pay existing affiliates a daily ROI makes ExaCoin a Ponzi scheme.
If you take a look at ExaCoins daily ROI percentage payout, each tier falls short of initially invested funds.
It implies reinvestment is mandatory if a profitable return is to be realized.
ExaCoins anonymous owner(s) have to cut and run in turn that balloons out the time, because even at the highest investment tier 2 terms comes to 118 days.
The exit strategy for ICO lending Ponzi admins is pretty straight forward.
The admins of ExaCoins are flogging off EXA points for 90 cents to $1.30 each throughout December.
In case they attract enough investors, the admins of ExaCoin purchase an altcoin script, convince a few dishonest exchanges to list it, get listed, use that to profess legitimacy and then issue funds invested until the minimum reserve is reached.
ExaCoin will then suddenly stop paying out and the anonymous admin(s) run off with whats left.
The gullible affiliates of ExaCoin who invested on baloney promises of riches are in the meantime left with an altcoin whose value fast approaches zero.
That is on top of majority of the affiliates losing money on the ROI side of things, as that is how a Ponzi scheme works.
It has been happening time and time again in the MLM underbelly lending Ponzi niche. ExaCoin certainly wont be any different.

Re:Bitcoin at $10,000, Ripple at $1, Ethereum below $1000 as Carnage Continues
Yesterdays China induced technical breakdown led to an unmitigated disaster in the crypto segment, as all of the majors crashed, erasing hundreds of billions of market cap in the process. The collapse of the alleged Ponzi scheme of Bitconnect added insult to injury and caused another wave of selling in late trading, driving the price of Bitcoin to $10,000, a bit earlier than expected.
The most valuable digital currency rebounded as much as 15% after the late-session crash, but the selling pressure remained strong and today BTC briefly traded below yesterdays low, with most of the majors holding up above the crash low.
That said, the sell-off is unlikely to be over and volatility is probably here to stay for the week, with violent swings in both directions. The coin is still likely to push lower, with a possibly lengthy bottoming phase, so a quick recovery to the record highs is unlikely, but strong support is found below $10,000 at $9200, $8200, and $7650.
Traders should be aware of the elevated risk in short-term positions here, while long-term investors could slowly accumulate positions on the sell-offs, as the coins are headed to oversold territory.
A Little Perspective
While the percentage losses are huge, and sentiment is already strongly negative in the segment, the majority of the largest coins gave back only a few weeks of gains, even if that was the most explosive part of the advance.
BTC hit $10,000 on November 29th, ETH traded at the current levels first two weeks ago, and even Ripple only shed the gains of less than a month with the more than 70% decline. With that in mind, calling the end of cryptocurrencies is foolish, but also a longer period of underperformance might be needed for another run-up to form in the coins, given the extent of the speculative episode of late 2017.
Also, as they say, where there is one cockroach there are more, so the example of Bitconnect tells us that a much-needed cleansing of the segment could be around the corner.

Nobody has any idea of the evolution of the price of Ethereum.
Personally, I think Ethereum is the cryptocurrency with the most potential. And $10k is possible in a few years.
Smart contracts are a true killer feature. Something that can change the world. Nobody has any idea of all the possible applications of a such disruptive technology. We have seen p2p loans, digital decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and ICOs, but it is only the beginning.
Currently Ethereum is number 2, but one day it will be number 1. Because from a technological perspective it is far more superior.

Top 5 Privacy Coins:
5. VERGE (XVG)
Website: https://vergecurrency.com/
Algorithm: Scrypt, x17, groestl, blake2s, & lyra2rev2
Block Time: 30 Seconds
Verge is still early in their development phase. As far as I can tell from their 'black paper' they use I2P and TOR to hide/obfuscate traffic resulting in the blockchain being fully opaque, so if you know that an address belongs to someone, you can see how 'much' he has and what transactions he has done from and to that address. As well, the black paper includes some grammatical errors which raise some mental flags to me.
With these concerns though I still see the huge potential.
"Whatever ZCash is proposing VERGE is already at it. Dash and Monero even though on huge premium prices don't come close to the anonymity you've got with Verge."
"This [Verge] is the only coin to have an electrum wallet that connects directly to i2p nodes. It's the only anonymous coin that exists today."
To be honest, I cannot believe how Verge basically went unnoticed last year while other privacy-centric currencies exploded. It is just so undervalued. Verge has a great and growing community/developer team. If I can look past the few early hiccups along the way they have huge potential at a very cheap rate currently.
4. PIVX (PIVX)
Website: https://pivx.org/
Algorithm: BTC Core 0.10.x, BIP38 Encryption/Decryption of Private Keys
Block Time: 60 Seconds
One of the new contenders in the privacy-centric cryptocurrency race goes by the name of PIVX. based on the current market cap for privacy-oriented currencies, PIVX is the fourth largest. The ecosystem works similar to Dash, as users can run master nodes to support the network. Running PIVX master nodes requires users to lock 10,000 coins into a wallet, compared to Dashs 1,000 coin threshold. This also means a large part of the available PIVX supply is currently locked up in the master node.
PIVX also provides instant transactions through the SwiftTX implementation. The community is governing the future for this currency, rather than leaving it up to just the developers. One thing all community members are looking forward to is the future implementation of the Zerocoin protocol. This feature will improve transaction privacy even further.
3. Zcash (ZEC)
Website: https://z.cash/
Algorithm: Equihash
Block Time: 2.5 Minutes
The Zcash development team uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide anonymity for its users. A zero-knowledge proof serves to allow for both the verification and the privacy of data at the same time. In the case of Zcash, this technology is used to encrypt the sender and recipient addresses, as well as transaction amounts. At the same time, all network transactions are validated by the blockchain, just like Bitcoin.
To get a bit more technical, Zcash uses ZK-SNARKS to achieve this goal. Every transaction can contain a string of data provided by the sender the zero-knowledge proof as well as encrypted transaction data. This implementation also means senders cant generate a specific string unless they own the spending key for that address. Moreover, the input values of both input and output need to be equal.
It is important to keep in mind this feature does not provide utter anonymity while using Zcash, though. It is still possible for blockchain analysts to correlate information through public transactions. Moreover, IP addresses of users are not obfuscated unless they use a routing service themselves. Personal identifiers linked to public data are not hidden by this protocol.
2. Monero (XMR)
Website: https://getmonero.org/
Algorithm: CryptoNight
Block Time: 60 Seconds
Monero has been a popular alternative cryptocurrency among enthusiasts who favor anonymity over privacy. Improved anonymity was added to the protocol just a few months ago, as Confidential Transactions were introduced in January of 2017. All of the network nodes have transitioned to accommodate for Confidential Transactions without any hitch. Ever since this implementation, the Monero price has started to rise a bit across exchanges.
Ring Confidential Transactions are designed to improve privacy and security. By bundling the sending and receiving of public keys with older network transactions, a mixer is created that is capable of obfuscating addresses. All of this makes blockchain analysis virtually impossible. Making Monero one of the most anonymous cryptocurrencies is still the primary objective, even though that has led to an increase in transaction size. This is not as big of a problem, though, as Monero has an adaptive block size.
On top of Ring Confidential Transactions, Monero makes use of ring signatures and Stealth addresses to hide both the sender and the receiver in a transaction. Additional anonymity and privacy features are still in development, such as the Kovri router, which can conceal the origin node for transactions in I2P. Monero positions itself as a private and optionally transparent cryptocurrency.
1. DASH (DASH)
Website: https://www.dash.org/
Algorithm: Decision Algorithm for Supportive Housing© (DASH)
Block Time: 2.5 Minutes
A lot of people feel Dash provides them with anonymity as well, thanks to the PrivateSend feature. While it is true that this feature offers privacy to users, it is not anonymous in the traditional sense. PrivateSend is an improved version of CoinJoin, enhanced by features such as decentralization and a chaining approach. A decentralized mixing service built within the Dash protocol allows the currency to remain fungible, which is one of the features Bitcoin lacks right now.
Moreover, using PrivateSend mixing requires at least three different participants which allow funds to be merged together and create obfuscated transactions. That is, assuming all users submit the same Dash denominations as inputs and outputs. There is a limit as to how much money can be sent per transaction using DarkSend, though, as the feature currently allows for 1,000 DASH per session. Additionally, several PrivateSend sessions need to be completed to achieve optimal anonymity and privacy.

Crypto Update: Chinese Crackdown Triggers Next Leg of Correction
The cryptocurrency segment is crashing again, with double-digit losses across the board, and with several coins shedding around 30% in one day amid the widespread and heavy selling. The sell-off was triggered by reports on a new set of measures by the Chinese authorities limiting crypto trading, which added to the still looming South Korea related regulation worries. Bitcoin tested the mini-crash lows at $11,300 today in early trading, dipping slightly below that level before a strong bounce started.
The most valuable coin is now between two crucial support/resistance lines, with the other ahead at $13,000, and as the downtrend is entering its more mature phase the $10,000 and $9,200 levels could come in play, with a possible dip to the support zone near $7,650.
Interestingly, the coin is still hovering within the daily range of the crash of December 22nd, and that points to a very active and volatile period ahead near the low at $11,300, as automatic orders will likely get triggered on both sides of the market.
The short-term setup is bearish, and although its possible that the primary support level will hold, odds still favor another leg lower, following the exponential run-up at the end of last year that pushed sentiment into bullish extremes.
Altcoins
Ripple is leading the way lower among the major altcoins, dipping below the $1.50 and briefly the $1.25 levels, and almost completing a 70% decline from its recent all-time high. Now, long-term investors could already accumulate the coin near the major support levels at $1.25, and $0.85, although with the short-term downtrend firmly intact traders should wait with entering especially through leveraged positions, as volatility is expected to remain high.
Ethereum is also significantly lower after the anticipated trend break, and as the second largest coin is in a different phase of the market cycle, a later bottom is likely, so both traders and investors should wait for the correction to run its course before adding to their holdings or entering short-term trades.
Among the other majors, recent laggards Litecoin, Dash, and IOTA are all sporting heavy losses, while ETC also gave back most of its recent gains as expected. Monero remains the strongest from a technical perspective, despite the still overbought long-term setup, while NEO is in a very similar position to ETH, likely just starting a deeper correction after its rally to all-time highs.
As the majority of the segment is now getting closer to a tradable bottom, stay tuned for a look at the long-term technical picture later today.

ALTCOINSBitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin (BTC) Showdown Let the Fight Begin
In the Red corner, we have the dominating, crypto crushing, sledge hammer of cryptocurrency investing . Bitcoinnnnnn In the other corner, we have the fast talking, quick moving, fancy footwork moving, sly Bitcoin Cashhhhhh. Let the showdown begin.
I dont usually talk about Bitcoin as I like to invest and focus on altcoins, however I wanted to go over this now because altcoins are tied directly to Bitcoin. Usually, when Bitcoin rises and goes on a decent bull run altcoins will fall and vice versa. Even though I dont talk about Bitcoin much I do watch it on a daily basis to better forecast money flowing back into altcoins or into Bitcoin. The Bitcoin hard fork has affected the market drastically. Watching Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash fight it out would be slightly amusing (if so much money wasnt involved). This proves that a lot of the market is based on emotional response and not necessarily fundamentals. Ethereum and Litecoin are far better than Bitcoin Cash. BCH has borrowed the Bitcoin name and the man behind it, Roger Ver, is pushing Bitcoin Cash hard as the Bitcoin. I wanted to go through this a little because I believe that Bitcoin Cash is being manipulated at the moment. While Bitcoin Cash does offer a little value but it is doing so well by borrowing the Bitcoin brand name.
On a side note, Bitcoin is getting a ton of press and attention from people that have never even heard of it because of ICOs, SEC scrutiny, Jamie Dimon (CEO of JP Morgan Chase) and from the interest of traditional investment firms announcing futures trading based on Bitcoin. Also, a very popular show called The Big Bang Theory will be dedicating an entire episode to cryptocurrency called The Bitcoin Entanglement which will air on November 30th. 14 million people watch that show. The IRS and the SEC are looking into cryptocurrencies closer and is starting to figure out how to regulate ICOs and how to tax cryptocurrency investing. Just something to keep in mind.
From an objective point of view lets look at what BCH actually does offer. To be 100% clear, I am not promoting one or the other. Personally, I have moved everything into alts until the Bitcoin showdown is over. One thing to think about is the majority of the volume going into BCH is coming from Korea. That means that most are not selling off their BTC to get into BCH. A lot of the BTC drop, I believe, comes from those that had gambled on BTC going up with margin accounts now are cashing out to cover their borrowed money. BTC sell off is also coming from those that have taken a profit believing that BTC is at a short term all time high. There is a lot of uncertainty with the BTC hard fork, BCH buyers and manipulation to make it look like it is taking over BCH. Enough of that, lets get started:
Bitcoin Cash offers a block size of 8MB, while Bitcoin has a block size of 1MB. BCH speeds up and decreases fees of transactions. This is actually a major deal.
Bitcoin Cash offers replay and wipeout protection which will protect investors from losing their coins during forks.
Bitcoin has the original brand.
Bitcoin has a very large, loyal community. Most Bitcoin maximalist will stay with the original and support it being updated for scalability.
What I am doing is waiting, watching to see what happens regarding the Segwit2x hard fork and Bitcoin Cash. My main trading activity will be focused on altcoins and not in Bitcoin. I am not a financial advisor so please do your own research. Wait, Watch, Fight . CryptoDayTrader out!

BCH has borrowed the Bitcoin name and the man behind it, Roger Ver, is pushing Bitcoin Cash hard as the Bitcoin. I wanted to go through this a little because I believe that Bitcoin Cash is being manipulated at the moment. While Bitcoin Cash does offer a little value but it is doing so well by borrowing the Bitcoin brand name.
On a side note, Bitcoin is getting a ton of press and attention from people that have never even heard of it because of ICOs, SEC scrutiny, Jamie Dimon (CEO of JP Morgan Chase) and from the interest of traditional investment firms announcing futures trading based on Bitcoin. Also, a very popular show called The Big Bang Theory will be dedicating an entire episode to cryptocurrency called The Bitcoin Entanglement which will air on November 30th. 14 million people watch that show. The IRS and the SEC are looking into cryptocurrencies closer and is starting to figure out how to regulate ICOs and how to tax cryptocurrency investing. Just something to keep in mind.
From an objective point of view lets look at what BCH actually does offer. To be 100% clear, I am not promoting one or the other. Personally, I have moved everything into alts until the Bitcoin showdown is over. One thing to think about is the majority of the volume going into BCH is coming from Korea. That means that most are not selling off their BTC to get into BCH. A lot of the BTC drop, I believe, comes from those that had gambled on BTC going up with margin accounts now are cashing out to cover their borrowed money. BTC sell off is also coming from those that have taken a profit believing that BTC is at a short term all time high. There is a lot of uncertainty with the BTC hard fork, BCH buyers and manipulation to make it look like it is taking over BCH. Enough of that, lets get started:
Bitcoin Cash offers a block size of 8MB, while Bitcoin has a block size of 1MB. BCH speeds up and decreases fees of transactions. This is actually a major deal.
Bitcoin Cash offers replay and wipeout protection which will protect investors from losing their coins during forks.
Bitcoin has the original brand.
Bitcoin has a very large, loyal community. Most Bitcoin maximalist will stay with the original and support it being updated for scalability.
What I am doing is waiting, watching to see what happens regarding the Segwit2x hard fork and Bitcoin Cash. My main trading activity will be focused on altcoins and not in Bitcoin. I am not a financial advisor so please do your own research. Wait, Watch, Fight . CryptoDayTrader out!
ALTCOINSAs Ripples Market Cap Crosses $120 Billion, Investors Seek Exchanges That Support XRP
The value of Ripple briefly crossed $3 a token Wednesday, triggering a renewed sense of urgency among traders to tap into one of the fastest-growing altcoins on the market.
XRP/USD Price Levels
Ripples XRP token reached an all-time high of $3.20 early Wednesday, giving it a total market cap of nearly $123 billion. It remains second only to bitcoin among active cryptocurrencies, having recently overtaken Ethereum.
At the time of writing, XRP/USD was up 4% at $2.86. The pair has gained more than 128% over the last five days, and is up over 9,400% compared to a year ago.
Ripples trade volumes continue to soar, with total transactions exceeding $7.2 billion on Wednesday. Thats equivalent to 477,260 units of bitcoin. Activity remains heavily concentrated on the Korean peninsula, with the won on one side of nearly half of total trade volumes. Bitfinex processed the second-most Ripple deals, with the XRP/USD pair accounting for roughly 8.5% of the markets daily turnover.
Other exchanges on the forefront of the XRP market include Binance, Coinone and Poloniex, according to CoinMarketCap.
XRP in Hot Demand
The fear of missing out, or FOMO, has unleashed the masses on global cryptocurrency exchanges, with traders rushing to buy XRP and other digital tokens amid the frenzy. Exchanges have demonstrated an inability to cope with such large volumes, with the likes of Bittrex, Bitfinex and CEX.io putting a temporary halt on new user accounts. Bitstamp is still accepting users, but is taking weeks to process identity verification.
It is unclear when new account signups will become available again, although Bittrex has announced that registration would resume by Jan. 15. Meanwhile, the U.K.-based CEX.io says it is still trying to deal with the enormous backlog of new users registered on its platform.
Coinbase continues to onboard new clientele, but does not currently offer XRP tokens. If industry sources are correct, that may soon change, as the San Francisco-based platform looks to support new cryptos. Coinbase is highly selective about which coins get included on its GDAX exchange. Currently, the platform supports only bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and bitcoin cash.
Ripples official website lists Bistamp, Kraken, Gatehub, Coinone, Bitso, Coincheck, Korbit, Qryptos, Bitbank, Bitsane, BTC Markets, LiteBit, Bitcoin Co Ltd. and BItcoin.co.id as exchanges that support the digital currency.
XRP has gone through the stratosphere over the past month on broad institutional support for the XRP protocol. Ripple is sometimes referred to as the bankers cryptocurrency for its ability to streamline cross-border payments.
