Gonna try to grab some when it hits the market. I like the idea of tron. Don't know if it'll ever happen but it's the way it should go.

yeh not sure if t can go as planned but im pretty sure they will try to pump it. Justin being a govt official son, his lawyers having a hand in writing the ICO regulation and all the big name investors involved with hardly any marketing done. Could be big but who knows. if there is any country that knows how to pump a coin, China is # 1

I really need some advice on how to grow my portfolio. Currently I am invested in ripple. I just don’t know what to look for or how to predict if something is going to take off. Any advice helps

So when people lose their passwords and can't get access to their tokens/coins what happens to those tokens/coins? Are they just lost forever?

Not lost, still on the blockchain waiting to get claimed. But yea, it maybe easier for a person to say "lost" than seeing it and not able to access it

Some say that although bitcoin has a cap of like 21million, lots of them will not be claimed since many were lost during the infancy where oeeps mined on desktops but their hard drive(s) crashed and they didnt care about recovery since btc was less than a penny

what is the benefit of mining bitcoin vs just buying it with your own money?

So those that aren't claimed..is there a way to claim them possibly in the future or are they essentially a lost cause. I supposed there isn't a way to find out how many are unclaimed?

If you mine it you don't have to pay the current price for it. Just the electricity costs

Think of it as money lost in the ocean.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

CVC is gonna have a nice shakeout in the next day or two. Hopefully can grab some more around .30.

That's a shame.

 

[ninjahood]

That's a shame.

its only gonna get worse as Bitcoin supply diminishes, as Only a fixed number will be mined.

 

[vtotheinay]

nvm did more research. garbage

 

[johnnyredstorm]

NXS with the nice rebound. Could see 5 soon. Too bad I didn't grab any at the 2.50s.

 

[keko jones]

I know I'm mad late ...

But what are some coins you guys would buy now if you had a few ks to spend.?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

For some reason bittrex rate limited and temporarily banned me

Nvm that's only the issue when I'm on wifi

Thanks.. I was asking what you guys would do though

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Just copying people without knowing what to look for is the worst thing you can do. Learn how to trade and research other people's ideas.

Thats what we would do.

Any insight on the pullback the last couple days??

Any insight on the pullback the last couple days??

Fear/profit taking after the news of China banning/researching/trying to regulate ICOs

Alot of people translating the news differently but looks like panic selling to me - I'm sure the pros in here will chime in with better info...

...Unless they are too busy trying to catch the bottom and loading up for the eventual resurge

 

[Platinum State]

Wonder what this means for Neo's long term future......

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Pullbacks are healthy

 

[fapmasterjr]

Crypto as you would wish to believe cant keep going higher and higher everyday. Think of the last pull back (june), look where it eventually took the crypto market to...all time highs. (177 billion).

I know to a few here, this isnt our first rodeo. But for the newbs, if you're scared..go to church

Good luck!
