Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc)

Be patient. Tomorrow's news plus the normal weekend dip we might see Bitcoin in the $2000s.

 

[phisherman]

NEO might be heading back to $20.

Also if you're looking to buy into a decentralized exchange keep an eye out on Kyber. That's the Vitalik backed decentralized exchange project.

Q1 2018 for ETH trading pairs only for Kyber as far as I can see.

I'm still betting big on NVO. They already have multiple partnerships they are working on and 50% of exchange profits go to NVO holders. The first exchange or two with multiple BTC + ETH trading pairs is likely going to be the winner/winners in terms of the race of decentralized exchanges.

Rumor has it (from a source I am not sure how much I trust atm) that a security flaw in NEO is going to be made public in the next day or two.

At least the market has rebounded from its lows this morning. Gone up about 10% or so in the last two hours.

Can you post the source?

And I'm not sure if this bounce will last. China has sent official requests to the Chinese exchanges to shut down. The two largest ones though will be able to shutdown in October due to their size.

I am thinking at this point that maybe that has already been priced in to the market? Similar to the way when a there is a coin burn, that price increase is factored in usually a week or so before.

$3600 broke through. I think you're right. I might go in at $3800.

Man, I hope so. NAV and OMG (and ARK holding relatively steady throughout) are positive (and rising) on the 24H so that has me positive. I feel like I can't really make any moves with everything down so much.

You keep talking about NAV. You convinced me. I bought some.

 

[phisherman]

I'm horrible at timing this. BTC is retracing. I hate that I knew it would happen yet I still panic bought.

I think this is a great price to get into it. I actually bought some more the other day at 81 cents. I like a lot of stuff about it (tech, team transparency, staking, etc), and there's no reason it shouldn't head back toward $2 and perhaps beyond when this is all over.

Cryptocurrency miners replacing adds on websites? Pirate Bay is trying it out and people of course are not happy since they were not asked and it takes up a huge amount of CPU power when on a page that runs the script.

As long as you held, looks like you did just fine!

I'm fine. Just got greedy and didn't take full advantage of the dip because I thought it would dip further. Could've ended up with more Bitcoin.

WTF is going on with IOP??

 

[Gardner McKay]

WTF is going on with IOP??

Looks like a pump and dump.

 

[phisherman]

So VIA just announced they can run ICOs on their blockchain AND run Ethereum smart contracts. They're also part of the group of coins working with Litecoin for atomic swap.

 

[Intoewsables]

Vertcoin pump! Feels good, man.

Everything else is just steadily falling. IOP is crashing. These pump and dumps are so random.

 

[Mitchy]

Woah, WTC.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I guess a bunch of posts didn't migrate but we were discussing WTC 2 days ago. I know a bunch of us picked it up. With only 24 million coins at the moment I am really wondering how far it can go.

 

[What the Faulk]

Yeah, WTC is going nutso right now. Hard to imagine I sold 1/3 my BNB at its high for WTC around $1.00 and was immediately unsure about that trade, right around the time the China stuff started, which was only the beginning of this month. Good call, Phisherman.

 

[phisherman]

If WTC reaches IOTA's marketcap, since they deal with the Internet of Things like WTC, then you're looking at $59/WTC. I'm so tempted to throw everything in there but need to be disciplined.

BNB is looking good as well. Them listing LINK and KNC, two very high potential ERC20 tokens, so quickly is a really good sign. They could almost be like a really good Etherdelta.

 

[What the Faulk]

Any chance WTC gets listed on Bittrex or other major exchanges anytime soon? That could help it blow up exponentially.

I liquidated all my Lisk, NAV and TenX to pick up WTC. DAMN GLAD I did (for now at least )

I agree. I am tempted to buy more but that would make me a bit uncomfortable at this point in terms of portfolio diversity.
