Kraken to Electrum

I'm mostly a Coinbase and Poloniex user. Specially for the fork, I opened an account on Kraken as they supported BCH. I have received the BCH on Kraken. I want to sell the BCH and want to get my BTC off Kraken again and move to Electrum.

For getting BTC off the Kraken exchange: can someone confirm this is done with funding=>withdrawal?
For selling BCH, I suppose it's just opening an order. If not, let me know please.

Yes, I know it happened, I was following very closely  Smiley

But I thought I would just see a pair called BTC/BCH in my Kraken account ready to be traded. Asking them to support seems awkward, they knew the fork was coming and they know the amount of BCH (since it's a 1:1 ratio).

Kraken BCH

I had my BTC on Kraken exchange during the fork. I heard I would have 1:1 BTC/BCH coins. I cannot find them in Kraken as I would like to sell them.
Where can I find my BCH in Kraken?

True, however my feeling is that it's the right time to buy ETH. It's high now (80$) that's true but there is a lot of upside potential still.

You are kidding right?

In less than a week that shit is under 30$

Let's see, your guess is as good as mine.

Riding the pump

In the gainers and losers coinmarketcap table, one often sees values of up to 300% gain. How do you go about detecting what coin is going to be pumped soon? Are you looking at the 24h window for that? Needless to say that I would want to join that ride and speculate a bit. Any ideas are welcome!

Other than that, I have the impression that the pump is often realized by a single person investing a bit of money. If overall volume is low, this results in a tremendous gain. I guess they hope other people would notice and jump on it too. I have no evidence of this though so would like to know if this theory holds...

In the end, also just trying to make 10K into 100K or more...

Theoritical max value of an altcoin

I'm relative new to the altcoin market. I was wondering if there is a way to calculate the theoretical max value of a coin based on the market cap and the total supply.

This question was triggered when I read somewhere that Ripple has to potential to reach to 10USD/Ripple. I was wondering how they go to that number. Must be some logic behind, if not ...it's just a way to pump the coin, no?

Thanks. I did quite some research related to the development team behind the coin, the value propositions etc... For Ripple, it's currently trialed by a lot of major banks throughout the world. I know Ripple goes against the decentralized nature of other altcoins, but the fact the banks are testing it, is reason for me to believe there are plans with Ripple. Hence I invested some money into it. It's as good a guess as any other of course and I'm well aware of the risks associated to it.

Though as was mentioned before, I'm not taking any serious risks and if I lose the money, so be it. But I also dont want to miss out on an opportunity to get some real money. I lost the opportunity before with BTC  Wink

In terms of money to lose, I'm living in a country where we get 0,1% interest on our saving accounts, we are losing money due to inflation. I might as well lose some on altcoins then (or take a risk and get some nice profit in couple of years).

@MarMoCoin: That's the whole question. Proof me wrong with these assumptions.  Cool

@g___: the altcoins I'm looking at are all respected in their own specific domain: Ripple, Golem etc....Dev's are good, just wondering why these two are still <$1, and the others in the top 10 marketcap are not.

I'm planning on buying some coins that are <$1 on coinmarketcap.com. The reason is that they are very cheap, so getting a lot of them is not going to be too expensive. If a coin is $0,001, I could buy 10.000 which will cost me $10. If it goes up to let's say $1, I will have earned $10.000. The question is obviously how reasonable the chance it that it will reach $1, but looking at coinmarketcap.com, it seems 7 out of 10 coins are $1$+. If the coins fall in the top 10 in terms of MarketCap I consider them popular coins so there's quite some demand for them, hence one could reasonably assume there is a big chance it will once hit $1.

Obviously there are a lot of assumptions above, that's done on purpose as I can't help but believe these are fair assumptions. But seems like I'm alone out there otherwise it would be a get-rich-quick scheme.... Hence, can someone give me good (constructive) feedback on why this thinking is extremely naïve and wrong?
