Title: Cryptocurrencies
Post by: sexualhelon on September 02, 2017, 05:33:20 AM
Anyone else into cryptocurrencies?

They're really the wild wild west of investing and gross speculation. Regulation is very limited which allows for massive pump/dump schemes. Some have very little knowledge on the security around these which causes them to have all their funds stolen. It's turned some into overnight millionaires and lost others their life savings.

That said, I find them to be a very solid component of any intelligent investors portfolio. However, steer clear if volatility scares you. The larger one's can easily dip/rise $20+ in a day.

So any crypto's you guys favor more than others? Why so? Do you think these - or one of these - will become common place for payment in the future or will it fade away as a ridiculous part of history?

Watched Bitcoin religiously for 18 months and said I'd buy in once it got down to a certain level. Eventually it did but I had a whole lot of other shit go on in that time period that tied up my funds. Had I been able to do it I would currently be sitting on six times my investment. Not sure how I feel about going in now or any other currency. Could have, should have, would have. Fuck it.

Buy what you can afford to lose in BTC and just SIT ON IT, don't loose it or use it. Don't worry about dips, its ALWAYS gone up. You should look at BTC as a longer term investment.

Syscoin is kinda interesting, it could be a get rich quick thing, look it up, personally I would invest some in it if I could.
 
Ive been using BTC it since it was in the 200's, I could have been rich, but I bought alot drugs instead  8)

An online friend of mine gave me some fractions of bitcoin once, when the dollar was at its highest and the Brazilian real, at its lowest. I bought a 5boro deck and big Moska wheels with the loot. I don't regret not keeping it, but I'd be sitting at like double that value right now.

I personally do not know much about bitcoin. I mean i was reading some  basic interesting facts about it  (https://www.1and1.co.uk/digitalguide/online-marketing/online-sales/bitcoin-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-digital-payment-network/) but my questions are- So you generate these bitcoins with your own computers? In what way isn't this free infinite money, or at the very least hyper inflated? and Is there a system in place that stops a complete collapse of the value of the bitcoin?

You don't generate them, you mine for them. They aren't sporadically spaced out but come in rifts and seems a lot like mineral commodities. They are finite. Their only value is what someone else is willing to pay for them.

I love the idea of an unregulated/untraceable global currency. I don't like that technical knowledge/equipment is required to use it, excluding a large part of the population.

My prediction is, when all this collapses, we'll go back to bartering.

i first invested $50 and it went up and then added another $30 and now i have made $20 in just one month... i did a lot of reading and talking to people who had experience. from how its going i wanna put in a amount i can afford to loose each month and see how this goes. there's a lotta resources online that explains this in a simple way. im not a finance/business or tech guy but i was able to get it and see the value.

This is the entire purpose of money, to have something you can trade universally. If you grow a bunch of rice and I have gasoline, but I also have a shit load of rice, then you have no way to get gas without hoping you can find someone who has something that I find of value.
I love the concept, but the doomsayer in me doesn't think the Powers that Be will ever let humanity get away with an unregulated/untraceable global currency. Bitcoin and other alternatives are only legal because they're not a real threat to the status quo. I can imagine a dystopian future where their use is criminalized.

When the current debt based monetary system collapses we'll go back to trading things for things. It's not the most practical way to go but it'll be all we have.

The government can't stop crypto currencies any more than they can stop drug trafficking. The only real threats to these currencies are people not valuing them or the development of quantum computing. Quantum computing will be a reality before people give in on cryptocurrencies

I don't think the war on drugs was designed to stop drug trafficking, but to feed the prison system. Not only that, the State has become the premier dope dillah : weed, booze, prozacs, percs, oxys, adderall, viagras, they got it all yo. Their approach is Demonize, Criminalize, then Monopolize.

I unfortunately think they could pull off something similar with these currencies. Either that, or they'll manipulate public opinion enough so that they'll go way under the radar. Just look at 3D printing. Why isn't there one in every single home?? It's too disruptive.

One can hope, yeah. History almost teaches us not to.

I deliberately didn't mention the War on Drugs because it has nothing to do with preventing drug abuse.

Any government seen to play a part in any crypto currency would immediately devalue that currency. Their major strength and appeal is decentralisation.

Will listen.
I understand your example, but there's a big difference between a shitty car that can't get out of the mud and a fully functional currency that barely anybody uses.

There's something else at play here, and that something has everything to gain from people having NO CLUE what these currencies could ever do for them.

Or am I totally wrong?

Are you guys actively using this or is it more of a "invest and sit on it" type thing?

Been watching Bitcoin since it was $11. Was one of the early Coinbase users and was going to drop a some loot into it back then, but I hesitated to set up a new bank account just for the purpose and slept on it. Still kicking myself for that.

Ended up converting a bunch of Dogecoin, to Ethereum, and then to Bitcoin about 6 months ago.  Have just been sitting it since then. It's not worth a lot, but it's been fun to watch the crypto space grow like a wildfire.

Andreas Antonopolous is the dude to listen to if you want to hear some revolutionary viewpoints on the space.

I've had an idea for a skate related system that would distribute currency, but the current financial system would require a lot of hoops and bounds to make it possible. Cryptocurrencies would solve the problems I ran into developing the idea. I just haven't taken it seriously enough to get back to making this idea a reality.

My initial attraction to bitcoin was due to the fact that it was a worldwide currency that wasn't backed by any government. It's powerful, but yes, very volatile in terms of an investing tool.

I work as an electronics engineer in a research institute and I see the hype for blockchain technology in research and in startups. With the technology we have today it is incredibly inefficient and has many problems unsolved. However enterpreneurs and some politically waged lobbies see none of this and just bring the hype. They press for half assed solutions , with problems and holes, by developers and they just try to sell them as something that is perfect. Technology world is crazy. Ever since I saw how technology is produced I am very positive that as technology grows more complex we are heading for major trouble.

Invested in Ethereum in July this year, Bitcoin a few months after. Invested in Ethereum only through recommendation from a friend, still don't completely understand the difference in the two.

John Mcafee, the creator of Mcafee anti virus shit which you probably have on your computer says it might hit a million by 2020. He says it's as fundamental a discovery/tool as agriculture and gunpowder. This type of news is what sort of really excites me. That it seems too good to be true initially but with the more I read it's now just coming across as too good.

I keep mine in coinbase cos I hear if you lose your phone you lose the money that's in your crypto wallet and didn't trust that not to happen.

Trying to temper my hopes but would love to fulfill the dream (lol) of making a dope board company or contributing to skateboarding in some way like a skate school or something if I made a lot on it.

Read an article about the amount of energy needing to create a Bitcoin (that which its value is attributed to, $1000 bucks or so) being fraudulent, semi raising concerns, but at the same time the hundreds of articles I've seen critiquing bitcoin negatively and be proved wrong makes me think otherwise.

Think it's nearing 12k a coin

Market mechanism is a very unstable one. Instability is the natural state of capitalism. The only reason that instability doesnt get out of control is by the force of goverment. Law, army, police etc provide some stability mechanism against the chaos markets create. Cryptocurrencies fail to have that and I highly doubt they are a viable alternative to our present currency. Unless of course goverment backs them, which in first place means that they become like our presen currencies.

 I know that making money out of thin air is very likeable as everyone hates working. However making money without working means you are a burden and someone else makes that money for you. Usually the third world or emerging economies. However that parasitic portion of economy becomes too big and real labour cant cope especially when it gets more and more devalued to cater the parasites. That's a perfect formula for crisis.

 The fact that bitcoin is so unstable is an indication that is useless as a currency and an even higher indication that is a bubble. Some people will make money especially those who entered the fad early but most of the people, late to the party, will see their money vanish.

Title: Re: Cryptocurrencies
Post by: sexualhelon on December 10, 2017, 02:06:19 AM
Personally, based on what I know, these are my points comparing Ethereum vs Bitcoin:

1(Technological capacity/potential) Ethereum by far wins this one. Ethereum can do everything bitcoin can technologically wise PLUS can already - act as the new decentralised "server" for all Developer applications - allow for certain existing and new currencies/blockchain to merge and integrate into the ethereum blockchain.
Which then leads to - Dapps allowing IoT/smart devices that can communicate independently of each other( making stuff like auto selling excess solar power to neighbours/ drone delivery services / driverless car services/ airbnb auto lease services) - decentralised media outlets - decentralised identity database - finance decentralised international banking apps - realestate/automated inheritance apps/parliament voting list goes on basically anything you can think of as a business can be run on ethereum.

What's to come that bitcoin can't do - even more transaction capacity( necessary to run more apps/ more intensive stuff ) - sharding which allows data to be split and stored on computers world wide. ( every one holds 1 piece of a 2000 puzzle ) and we still make a full puzzle in the end - with more transaction+sharding Ethereum is set to become the new internet that is decentralised. Nobody can stop it ever. No government can. Every device on the planet will be a part of the super computer mind hive and to shut down or block any part of the internet, the world would have to turn off ALL devices that exist. If a single device exists, the internet lives. (Different from now, internet is being supplied by a few companies in the world, like AT&T or GTT while data is stored by Google/Amazon etc. All other internet providers get internet from them and supply it to you) - integration of quantum communication and computing transcending ethereum to the next level. We're talking about a super AI that can learn everything and anything and organise things to an unimaginable level based of everything it can access on the ethereum network(by then the ethereum network would have more information than google ever dreamt of) and the AI is answerable to nobody but the consensus of the population using the world AI run by ethereum.
That's as much as we know now of the capabilities of ethereum. There could be more. Compared to Bitcoin tech ,which was probably new 8 years ago but today, people are slow to catch on to it.

2(Economic security vs miner node count diversification) Ethereum has currently more hashrate security and node count than bitcoin. We overtook bitcoin as the world most secure blockchain by PoW and unique nodes. This means that we are effectively more decentralised than bitcoin and it will take someone with malicious intent more money to buy hardware to topple Ethereum than it would to topple bitcoin. The likelihood of Bitcoin suffering a 51% attack that will effectively destroy the blockchain is greater than Ethereum. Basically also it means that it's easier for someone to delete/ban your bitcoin in your wallet from being included in the chain if you're storing your life savings in bitcoin.

3(Transactional use case) Ethereum has long since surpassed (about a year now) the number of transactions that bitcoin is making per day namely due to more and more applications being run on the network. These are transactions that are from unique individus. Which means they aren't spam just for numbers. They're active use cases. Effectively ethereum is being used more than bitcoin.

4 (ETH(Ethereum is not ETH) vs BTC as a currency and its accessibility) Ethereum currently loses on this front as bitcoin has a first mover advantage and its branding as blockchain technology has definitely put itself head of the game. When u hear news broadcasts speak about Dapps and potentials of the blockchain technology, they often misunderstand that it is run on bitcoin. Truth be told, bitcoin can barely run any Dapps effectively. So it can't be said that bitcoin does that. Bitcoin can only be said to be used for a transfer of funds or store. Also having been mentioned about in the past few years and being notorious for numerous instances, bitcoin is more publicly known for the time being. I think from here on when we're talking about Dapps it is essential for developers to correct the news hosts that it's not blockchain technology, the technology behind bitcoin that makes it possible. But It's Ethereum technology that makes it possible. Re iterate that it is Ethereum technology. Because that's the truth. Misinformation is bad.

5 (Economical adoption and popularity) Currently, economically, bitcoin is being adopted much more than Ethereum. Being a good store value and its subsequent splits which gives early dumpers free money. This is likely to continue until ethereum is better known that it is superior to bitcoin in what it can do unfortunately.

6(Business adoption and integration) though economically Ethereum is losing to bitcoin currently, its business adoption has seen far greater support than bitcoin. Ethereum is growing and being adopted by businesses from all industries and it's a matter of time before products are ready where average customers would be using Ethereum on a daily basis.

7(Future target group prospects) future target groups and prospects shows ethereum in a greater light. Ethereum has a much larger base of use cases to appeal to. It's ability to become the hub of world commodity trading and service distribution is unmatched while also being the brain of worldly science research(because of the amount of computational power it is able to provide).

All in all Ethereum has yet to become the no.1 in economic dominance for blockchain technology, but it will be in a few years. Nobody expected amazon to be where they are today. No one could have imagined Jack Ma's ideas would make him so rich. No one dares to imagine Ethereum being the world dominator in the industries across the board.

Obviously, I'm biased towards Ethereum. The power consumption alone is ridiculous. Bitcoin's goal has always been to be a "currency" and Ethereum, I think, competes in the space by default of it's applications. There are tons to choose from but I think, as with stocks, it's important to understand the fundamentals. But of course, you can always trade, even then I shy away from smaller crypto unless I believe in their success. Same reason I don't like to play around with penny stocks.

My bitcoin is up to $41 from $36. Megan Thee Stallion had a promotion where she gave money away and gave me $11 worth.

Not sure if you saw, but the reason XRP is down is because of a lawsuit pending against them, which is part of Ripple. Not sure the logistics of the suit or if it will rebound, but that's the reason.

Got pretty into crypto within the last few months. Very optimistic about the next couple of years. Obvious lots of hype around it, but mainstream adoption is necessary. Having people like Michael Saylor investing hundreds of millions in Bitcoin is great. With a shitty dollar and the way central banking is going, I don't see how more global forms of currencies doesn't keep growing.

Some predictions may be high, but I do see Bitcoin climbing to several hundred thousand dollars, or at least $100,000 in the next couple of years. Etheruem has lots of potential too.

Invested in a bunch of alt coins that hopefully can grow in big ways in 2021. Will see. I'm kicking myself for not listening to my friend who tried to convince me and my friends forever to get into Bitcoin. He got in when it was a couple hundred dollars and has been putting money into it every week for the last several years. He's fucking loaded right now.

I think I just didn't fully understand what crypto currencies were and also didn't have much money to invest in any. I think that common language issue will be a big part of what helps it grow in the coming years. So many people just don't understand Bitcoin or crypto in general, so they remain skeptical.

And I agree some alt coins are just trash, but certain ones I'm investing in I think have some real potential based on what they're doing overall and how they can be used. I'm trying not to just buy random alt coins without researching their uses and potential for big growth in the future.

And also, I'm ok with some higher risk investing. I've made a good amount of money this last year playing online poker and essentially transferred all of my profit to crypto, so it feels like a freeroll. That makes me less worried about such big daily shifts.

Putting all my money into cypto right now so in the future I'll be living a life of decadence.

How you ask? Haha, you're so stupid. A future lack of fiat currency in a country with already massively crippled social systems will inevitably result in serfdom. Present-day children, being late investors to buy into the blockchain will be our future serfs, because broken down, crypto is merely multilevel marketing, and the youth will be the bottom. Join me as I put my life savings of 12 dollars into WhopperCoin.

Market mechanism is a very unstable one. Instability is the natural state of capitalism. The only reason that instability doesnt get out of control is by the force of goverment. Law, army, police etc provide some stability mechanism against the chaos markets create. Cryptocurrencies fail to have that and I highly doubt they are a viable alternative to our present currency. Unless of course goverment backs them, which in first place means that they become like our presen currencies.

 I know that making money out of thin air is very likeable as everyone hates working. However making money without working means you are a burden and someone else makes that money for you. Usually the third world or emerging economies. However that parasitic portion of economy becomes too big and real labour cant cope especially when it gets more and more devalued to cater the parasites. That's a perfect formula for crisis.

 The fact that bitcoin is so unstable is an indication that is useless as a currency and an even higher indication that is a bubble. Some people will make money especially those who entered the fad early but most of the people, late to the party, will see their money vanish.

 I turn my attention to https://forexstore.com/free-forex-robots to help you understand trends. Community founders limit the number of units of money that can be generated by the computers that support transactions in the community. The collective event to create currency for the community is called Initial Coin Offering and you couldn't have failed to mention it or not know about it.


There are so much true in your words. I think that many people want to earn big money without working a lot now and it is insane because without working, you cant find your true road.
