crypto currency discussion

ADA on a run.

questionso my friend introduced me to bit coin like 3-4 years ago when he was buying drugs off silk road with it. I dabbled in it because it was interesting, and then when offshore started taking it as deposit I used it there. So I have no real experience for people actually paying bitcoin for anything other than dark web stuff and gambling. with some of these newer crypto's that everyone is talking about what is the marketplace for it currently? are there people accepting some of these newer alts already as payment for goods/services?or are the prices almost solely a function of the belief that that particular alt's tech ect ect might someday make it come out head and shoulders above the rest? or at least be one of the few alt coins that is thriving 10-20-50 years from now?

It's the Wild Wild West right now. Many people are speculating. Everyone is trying to post up to the nearest and dearest offering. It's like when the internet was first becoming mainstream. Companies just threw money at Dot.Com peeps and anyone that had a website. All these coins are pitching their technologies. Which ones make sense? Which ones will take off is anyone's guess. Overstock.com is taking BTC to buy shit, so there stock has gone through the roof as an early adopter. Imagine if Amazon starts taking LTC or ETH or BTC? Whatever coin they use, will see a huge spike. Will one coin be the standard? I don't think so but several coins will have significant market share.

Many companies are looking to use the encryption technology but I think eventually, every business will use parts of these technologies as well. Let's say you want to better protect a license you have. You would probably want to partner with one of these technologies. How much is it worth to you? We shall all see. If you are a painter, wouldn't you want to protect your prized painting/lithograph with some type of encryption? I think this is all about geography, security and anonymity. How to safely transfer shit from one part of the world to the other, how to send something without anyone knowing, if you like, or especially anyone breaking in or stealing it.

ok

[The Kraken]

Nope, I don't know any merchant that takes ADA, XRP, NEO yet. Only a few take BTC. ETH and LTC are popping up some places as well but we are at the very beginning of this craze.
Bezos seems to be a want it all type of guy. I think he'll find a way to create his own crypto or partner with one of these other established but they're going to have to pay him a shitload for sure.

I just downloaded a great Android app called Blockfolio. It tracks all your coins from all your wallets (I have 20+ wallets). It is very neat and gives you a great overview of what your portfolio is doing.

Use the same app on my iphone, along with HODL. Pretty handy

These are good questions.

I'm going to have to try HODL and I didn't even think about putting both apps on my iPhone too. Good looking out.

Hodor!

Thanks for the reply. Can you not just deposit money and buy it directly instead of exchanging coins?

[shocka1212]

Eth out here boomin. Just buy and enjoy the show

[hotcross]

Shocka what target prices do you see for both ETH and ADA, both short-term and long-term?

just like EF Hutton, when Shocka talks, SBR listens.....

[Bluehorseshoe]

I dumped Litecoin at the wrong time. lol

[mrpapageorgio]

I dumped Litecoin at the wrong time. lol

I dumped mine when it was dipping to buy ADA, can't really complain too much.

There is more and more talk about how much power it takes to mine most crypto currencies. I recently read an article about how bitcoin mining facilities around the world are using the same amount of power as the country of Ireland and that it's an environmental concern. An alternative to GPU or Asic mining is hard drive mining. It takes a lot less power. The industry may start moving in the direction of hard drive mining more and more. I own a mining facility and we are starting to order a sh*t ton of hard drives to turn into mining rigs.
Burst and Siacoin are both mined using hard drives. Both are also up about 100% in the last week. Something to keep an eye on.

Same here. I'm watching it take off. lol

[achilleas 21]

does anyone have any idea why bittrex send me this message every time i try to place an order?

Disclaimer

Please verify this order before confirming. All orders are final once submitted and we will be unable to issue you a refund.

And where to verify?Up till now i was buy-selling without to verify anything

Id be really impressed if Shocka can predict the coins that don't increase in value before New Years Day.

Is there a way to set it to convert the value of your portfolio in USD (or are we just going to have to guesstimate in our head)? Very nice to keep track, but I'd prefer to have it go one step further and give me the value relative to USD instead of Bitcoin.

damn this sh*t is addicting, I'm now an Insomniac with an addiction to Monster energy drinks...great

but I just dipped my toe in for $1,500 and I've already added 2k on top of it with ETH, XVG and TRX so there's that...so much volatility though, I'll probably blow it all on a penny gamble by the end of the year

Yea I downloaded the blockfolio app recently as well....just refreshing the app every few hours and seeing everything always increasing....how much longer is this fantasy going to last?

[Bluehorseshoe]

I just keep watching Cardano go up.

Wow I just looked and you are right! You know it's crazy when a 10% single day return doesn't look that good.

[The Kraken]

ADA up around 25% today and Im mad I missed out on qtum

Im just over here losing money by being in Cardano

And yet people kill for that in a year on the stock market.

This app is awesome. It shows you all your cryptos and if you click on each and go to holdings, it will tell you how much you have at each exchange. It always shows you the amount in whatever currency you choose, like US Dollars, so you can see your total in dollars. When you click into a holding, you can see the amount in dollars and if you click that, it will tell you the trading pair where you can see the BTC price. I've just started using it, so I'm not sure what all it can do. I like that you can quickly see hourly, 24hr changes, weekly, monthly and yearly changes for each coin. I think it will track graphically all my coins and the performance of each or maybe just a total. I'm not sure. So far, I can only see 24 hour change but that is because I don't have enough data??

I have a lot of coins and a good chunk of cash. The fluctuations is unreal. Every time you scroll it updates portfolio value. I'll see rise and drops of several thousands of dollars every 20 seconds some times. I just lost about $2,100 in the last minute. No clue on what. Definitely can't get caught up on all the changing data.

Think Im gonna put some more money on Verge for 2 reasons

They encompass the true crypto spirit and 2, most newbs getting into this with not much money are going to be looking for the next penny coin that is gonna make them a billionaire and they'll find Verge.

Any thoughts on Verge from the gallery???

I think eth is going to $1200 (45% gain) by 2018..

ada is a modest play, but could reach $2 easily in the next year.

[shocka1212]

ADA up around 25% today and Im mad I missed out on qtum

Bernie maidoff is in jail for promising 8-10% a year.... and it was a scam.
