>Bitcoin - As soon as the Mt. Gox fiasco is over BTC will rebound. Any predictions to where?

>Litecoin - BTC's little bro

>Mintcoin - Already great growth this last week. Looking forward to where this coin is headed

>PND - So long wolong!

>XRP - Second highest market cap. Mid to long term investment. Solid and least volatile

>Vertcoin - Anyone care to explain what this is?

You have the pre-mine and large investors part right. But how is it a ponzi-scheme and most crypto-currency isn't? Also, I will admit I have a large share of XRP along with a bunch of other cryptos so I have a dog in the fight but why would you assume I am a paid shill lol?

I equate a shill to someone that is being paid specifically to render a favorable opinion towards something.

This is the problem. How do they "give them away"? They don't. They sell the coins to people for a price that only they determine as the value of the coin. That is exactly how the Fed works. They print the dollar and they tell you what they think it is worth.


This is exactly the opposite of bitcoin. The biggest point of this experiment was to find out how a distributed resource could be securely sent through a decentralized network. This is about giving us a new way to think about the way ownership can work on a network without a central authority of trust. That is the whole reason it has been successful at all. Do you not understand this? This IS the entire point of crypto. We have had many forms of "electronic cash" before. Bitcoin and altcoins are not here to solve the problem of simply "electronic cash", but rather the problem of "how do you claim ownership to anything on the internet without being required to trust a 3rd party like Ebay or Paypal".

This invention goes far beyond the scope of currency alone. I get the impression that a lot of people are still just writing this whole thing off as a fad and not even thinking much of it. That is sad, as they will see their entire world change around them and be forced to look at the logo of their personal failure on every ATM and website for the rest of their life.

Google's coin will surely have the flexibility to outrun Bitcoin in the most rapidly morphing and unpredictable industry that mankind has ever witnessed. Surely a huge congolomerate will be able to stomp out all the tiny ants biting at it's feet, or maybe not. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BURN HEAL TIME@

No, that is 100% false. You could buy coins directly from another human being face to face. You could get them at an ATM in about a minute. You could mine them yourself and never deal with anybody else at all to get them.

Just keep going on with your lies. As each person reads this they will put more trust in cryptocurrency as they realize how much it makes perfect sense in a completely networked world. That's how all of us get converted. At first you think it is all a joke and stupid, and then you read more comments from the skeptics. After a bit of reading, you realize the supporters are more accurate to reality in everything they say about bitcoin.

People like Peter Schiff love to pump and dump their gold for profit, and he actually said that a problem with bitcoin is that it is too divisible, where you can have a tiny fraction of a penny worth of bitcoin, and this little scrap of change is a downfall. Imagine never have to make change for any form of money ever again. Imagine going anywhere in the world and never having to pay exchange rates or worry about carrying different countries coins for different destinations.

If you don't understand what this means, it is okay. You will very soon.

>How do they "give them away"? They don't.
Actually they do. They achieve this through "drips" and "faucets" which are websites that give away a certain amount at intervals which means that the bulk of XRP goes straight to people interested in using them. They also donated some to Artificial Intelligence research and World Community Grid which is a cancer research center. They have tons of giveaways all over the internet. Obviously the give the coins away in a controlled manner so that the value of XRP doesn't become volatile. So... no it is not the opposite of Bitcoin. It's just that BTC uses up electricity and resources and pre-mined coins do not.
>without being required to trust a 3rd party like Ebay or Paypal
Even with BTC you have to trust certain exchanges. The bitcoin community lauds BTC as revolutionary – as something that governments, banks and politicians can’t control. Then, at the same time, the community wants everyone in the world to use bitcoin. Unfortunately, you can’t have an international currency that doesn’t involve bankers, politicians and governments. Bitcoin will be regulated if it’s going to enjoy widespread usage. So will every other aspiring altcoin including ripple.

The notion that bitcoin is “untraceable” and “beyond the control of governments” is not realistic. If you really want bitcoin to succeed, you want the government to support and regulate bitcoin. It’s not going to be widely used if the government decides to attack it. The same’s true of ripple. Corporate-backing doesn’t change ripple’s usefulness, and I’d argue it’s going to help the network grow a lot faster than it would otherwise.

>> No.107537

>>107449
>you can’t have an international currency that doesn’t involve bankers, politicians and governments

Look, in the case of government control of money, all we want to do is be able to send money or ownership of something over the internet without somebody in the middle taking a nice fat bite out of it. I can send an email to Africa in seconds no problem. But WHOA, HOLY SHIT, SENDING MONEY TO AFRICA!!!! WE NEED THE MIGHT OF THE US MILITARY AND WESTERN UNION TO BACK THAT SHIT UP!

Do you see how stupid that line of thinking is? We don't care if governments tax bitcoin purchases and exchange profits like they do with any other commodity. We welcome that. But to say that I can send an email and not send money for free and instantly, that is going way too far when then technology is here now.

As far as the faucets, I would bet the number they give away is amazingly small, like any faucet, and most of their stock is bought by foolish customers believing a rotten sales pitch.

Governments are controlled by the banking industry. It's that large elephant in the room that not too many people want to look at but it's the hard truth. Banking conglomerates create and define government policy. The US federal reserve itself is standing proof of that. Remember when the Obama administration let slip that major US banks are above the law and too big to prosecute?

>“I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy."

That came directly from the attorney general. The goal of Bitcoin was never to just be able to send money without fees, it was to create it's own digital currency that escapes being controlled and regulated by governments (and in turn major banks). There would be no other reason for Bernake to show support for Bitcoin unless he had plans to either adopt bitcoin for banks or for the US fed to push their own digital currency. You have very lofty goals sir and I applaud you for that but you also need a reality check.

Thank you for finally admitting that Rippoff is nothing like Bitcoin. Rippoff is centralized and has incredible flaws.

Also, math based, what? That's marketing department bullshit talk. Guess what, the fucking universe is math based asshat.

BTC is math based. All cryptos are math based but you're also right about Rippoff not being a crypto.

I know what it is and how it works so don't waste your time defending it, but if you are really just an innocent victim of propaganda you should drop Rippoff immediately.

Market cap? 1.5 Billion, ok, well, they are supposedly worth $0.0015 and there are 15 billion of them. So that's where the market cap comes from. I have no clue how much actual Fiat has been put into it but I seriously doubt 1.5 billion. I think they assigned that price to their own private currency and that's where that bullshit market cap comes from.

The market cap comes from wherever the market allows. If people are trading them at $.00015 USD apiece then that is what the market dictates. Just like people that own BTC, LTC, or any other altcoin have figured out at what price to trade them at. It is not the devs trading the coin, it is the early adopters.

Exactly what I want in an actual currency, a degree of control that would prevent wild fluctuations.

The market cap is based on the 25% of coins released to the public, which are traded. It's not a fictional number.

Ripple is being primed as the E-currency which will emerge as the leading online remittance system in the world. But don't take my word for it. Google is intentionally quiet about XRP.

Actually you can buy coins on localbitcoins.com very easily and securely no matter where you are living. Most of the vendors on there have a great reputation, and all of the coins are put into escrow before the payment is processed. I just did a bank wire transfer to some bitcoiners account and he sent my coins throw the escrow. There was zero risk involved. If the coins never got there I could cancel the wire transfer.

The concept is proven and working 100% great at the moment, and there is a range of prices.

Either people love Ripple and can see tremendous value in the protocol and its many uses or people hate it and speak vehemently against it on the forums. The ones that hate it always say the same thing "it's a scam ".

Someone explain me something about Mintcoins...

They can only be mined for 5 weeks, after that the people who hold them get interest.

How exactly do they get distributed? It smells like scam. The only way people can get Mintcoins after the first weeks is through buying them, and then the early miners will dump their loads.

Don't feel too bad. You maybe lost a few grand. Some people have lost all of it, perhaps some accounts in the six figures. Everybody in the community knew this was happening. It was only newcoiners from outside that read a quick article on Forbes that cited Gox. Hopefully they learned who is to properly blame for the loss and get back into crypto before it explodes later this year.

I love WATCHING alt coins, but they are all so speculative its hilarious

Satoshi pulled off a magic trick when bitcoin became money, do you not realize that is such a rare a mysterious thing and just tweaking some settings isn't going to make the magic happen again.

All alt-coin are doomed to fail, but many "alt-coins" actually add new dimensions to blockchain technology, so that space should be watched

everything is gambling, though it is possible for maybe one pure alt-coin to survive, why would you want to try and pick it? Horrible odds

see it depends on what you mean by alt-coins

if you mean applications of crypto to coins and stocks, then yes of course we are going to see an alt-coin boom

but as far as an alt-coin becoming money, (so I'm talking 90% of the coins that aspire to be some kind of money)

well don't hold your breath and don't underestimate what Bitcoin pulled off

nerds think just tweaking a coin and giving it all the right properties is going to somehow make a coin valuable, but you have to have a economy attached to the coin. All the alt-coin's use Bitcoin as the main economic engine, and I just don't see some little tweaks and deaks in the code creating tons of value but I see you guys making lots of money, I just don't have the balls because I don't see any fundamentals on the coins that purely think of themselves as money or some store of value

Interestingly Doge has almost a negative reaction to the words "store of value" and the community did manage to create a little economy

I asked a Chinese friend about this. He said that in China, the outlook on stock trading (and now virtual currency exchanges) is different than it is in the Western world. If a lot of people lose their money trading, the government is expected to take care of it. The government thought that bitcoin was too risky an asset, so they basically told people that they were on their own if they lost money on it.

I agree with this and I think this should really be the focus of any altcoin. Instead of fighting over the same piece of pie (the crytpo market as it stand today) shouldn't our intent be to introduce it to new people? I feel like instead everyone bashes other altcoins and the crypto community as a whole suffers for it because it causes mistrust in the general public's eye.
