Topic: [AEON] Aeon Speculation - page 80. (Read 190206 times)

By all means, embrace and formulate your own opinion.  
  
No one should need to convince you of the prestige of Aeon; it should be self-evident.

Nice collection of AEON mr. Pegasus. With the exception of smooth's donation fund, you may very well be the largest holder at this point. Get those coins into cold storage! 

I have acquired a decent amount myself with an avg price below 0.00004, I think AEON seems fairly cheap at these levels.

 
  
We used to talk about whether people were using Bitcoin as a means to acquire more fiat, or if they really believed in it.  Now we are discussing Aeon in terms of "really believing in it" or using it merely to acquire more Bitcoins.  
  
I once talked on Reddit about the philosophy of people who go "all the way" on risky gambles.  I think this and Monero may be one such gamble with the potential to go "all the way".  
  
I can promise you that I didn't get into Aeon to dump it at 50 cents or $1.00.  Nor did I get into it to dump it at $5, or $10, or even $100.  Aeon is literally and figuratively better as a currency than Bitcoin.  To try to dump it for Bitcoin is to attempt to follow the herd into a more barren pasture than the one you already occupy.  
  
On the other hand, my driver's side windows don't roll up on my 90's model car.  When it rains, it rains on me.  
Across my very thin walls, my neighbor's three children scream at all hours of the day while their parents scream back at them.  
As well, my day job prevents me from pursuing cryptocurrency as much as I'd like.  
  
So 300,000?  Consider it gone.  Locked up.  Long term (and I mean 2020+) savings for me.  
And for sure not a single Aeon is traded by me before Aeon is worth more than $1.  
  
At that point, perhaps I will trade a few so that I don't have to drive in the rain anymore.  
And maybe a few more if/when the price ever goes to $10 (Litecoin level)  
And maybe a few more if/when the price ever goes to $100.  
  
But at that point, between this and my Monero holdings, I will likely have already quit my job and gone full time Cryptonote promotion.  
  
So for 70% of my Aeon?  Absolutely, I promise not to sell it for silly Bitcoins or Dollars.  
  
It's the world's first Digital Luxury Object.  Why would I part with it for something so common and ordinary?  

holding my coins. built up quite a large stash buying while it was trading on the thread.

i lost a wallet holding a large amount of coins got it recovered took ages but with help got it. ive made copies of my wallet now so learnt from mistake.

lol only if were that simple

all heard before not saying aeon a shit coin but definitely not what your making it out to be

Since when has the word 'never' been used to describe the short-term? Surely never pertains to the infinite.

Clearly it was a question designed to probe whether AP is using Aeon as a method of acquiring BTC (given the quoted list), or whether he believes Aeon will become the defacto global currency, to which conversion to BTC (or even fiat) is unnecessary.

Why would he sell at a loss? It is fairly likely he was the one who placed market buy orders up to 9000 satoshi the other week and he said he wants to own 400,000 coins. The way he talks about 10-15 year timeframe it appears he is in for the long run.

AP have you decided which island you want to buy in case your vision for the future becomes reality?

So we can assume you never will be selling your Aeon?

Just like that.  Get that weak ass wall of 20,000 outta here.   
 

After I saw this list, I formulated a new goal.  I have no desire to own the amount that Satoshi does - that amount of a currency should be reserved for an entire first world nation's reserves.  But, I do want to match the ownership of the top three public owners of Bitcoin, the illustrious trio in 2nd - 4th place.  If (and it's a big if) Aeon ever becomes one of the major currencies of the world (and who knows what may come in ten or fifteen years) that gives me a good shot at being one of the world's first trillionaires and being able to make some truly significant changes to our civilization. 
 
And I'm almost there. 

Limit orders are for babies.  Real men slap that ask.

The community does appreciate your enthusiasm!

• Amazing name, with active and passionate technical and social development.  One of the top cryptocurrency developers + one of the biggest social crypto-enthusiasts interested in building long term future for Aeon.
• Dual-headed for-use case, aside from a potential future economy: Cryptonote idea test bed + 'Digital Luxury Object'
• No 1% perpetual dev mine.
• First serious inflationary cryptocurrency with a mathematically elegant 8/9% perpetual inflation, so miners will never abandon the network - there is always new Aeon to mine.
• If there ever was a 'Pegasus coin', this would be it.  My full support, savings, and passion are behind this project.
• Seeks to complement Monero, while also keeping it on its toes.

 
  
No undue animosity intended towards Boolberry; I'd much rather hold that than something like Dash or ShadowCash, but I honestly feel the short list in cryptocurrency right now is Bitcoin, Monero, Aeon, and then Ethereum in a distant fourth with Boolberry coming in fifth.  
  
I feel confident that Aeon is going to be one to watch in 2016 and afterwards.  

Looks like AP has been drinking again

4 letter names > 9 letter names?

why would this be more valued than boolberry

I started getting sick yesterday so I'll be mostly out of commission until I get better. Mostly been sleeping it off. I'll be able to play with the logo concepts soon.

Also, great idea. It'll be nice to get some more feedback from people.

This is a good idea, but first impressions aren't the only question to ask with logos. Another is distinctiveness. Once a brand begins to become known and acquire a reputation, then the brand and logo will become associated with that reputation. Obviously at this point right that association doesn't widely exist at all, but once it does the main attributes of the logo that are important are that it is easily recognizable and that it at least doesn't undermine the values associated with the brand. The logo itself does not have to create or convey those values from the start. (Perhaps good if it does, but not essential.)

Seems like we had a hot few days, and things are cooling off for a few now.  That's good. 
 
Like any project involving creativity and subjectivity, it's helpful to take a step back or else your judgement can become compromised due to familiarity. 
 
Here's what I'd like everyone to do who is emotionally invested in this.  Go find your most normal friends IRL and on Facebook and ask their opinion.  Show them several examples that have been posted here (I'll make a compilation), including the ones you detest/don't like.  There is pretty much a 99% chance that by participating in this thread you are not "normal".  That's not a bad thing; un-normal people do epic things all the time.  But your stylistic preferences may not be shared by the masses, so some perspective is necessary. 
 
Find the most non-techie, nine to five friends you have and tell them you are working on a big new technology project (because you are part of it, even by posting once in this topic) and you need their opinion.  You don't have to deluge them with a libertarian manifesto  - you just want to find out which logo they find most attractive for a new type of private and secure money (like a bank or credit card).
