Topic: Alt coins worth buying - page 243. (Read 259617 times)

Yes NEM is a strong coin. I have invested in it before and in July 2016 I withdrew when the price came up. But now its price went back down so I think it is safe to buy again and be invested in it. The percentage of it going back up is a higher than for it to go down.

Go for it, the value of that coin will go up again if a lot of us could support it.

I want to pay some attention to NEM project. It is one of the best bockchains on the market still to be discovered in near future. Developers are hard working and community is strong, growing everyday. I have strong confidence that NEM will succeed.
As for other altcoins, there are many interesting projects and many scam-shit coins. We need time to sort the things out. I expect more projects to come in the future as they have advantage to learn from the mistakes of crypto pioneers.

Yes exactly when compared to other altcoin monero has bright future. Really people has many good hopes on monero because admin is developing lot of things in back ground. Yes the price has increased to 20x since 2015, many people active trading monero and it has great future.

you don't think monero will stay on top of the alt scene?
they've been used by people as far i know, its value has grown more than 20x since 2015.

Only etherium has a bright future and it will be more famous every year. Etherium is only existed for a year but its prices is very remarkable. However, the dev team do not know how to do and they seem can not protect Etherium from being attacked by hackers or other digital threat. Well, team will answer us which will be better

Even there are many altcoin being rise in crypto world still we cannot easily determine if the coins are scummy, especially most of it are good in hyping or good in conversing with the community so many of them are being a victim by the scammers. But in the last there are few altcoin that has promising development project in the future, like Eth, Nem, Litecoin and etc.

Agree. The cryptocurrency markets are bloated with too many altcoins, which in turn, there are many which are just scams, as well as being pump and dump coins with no innovation nor promising development. But in the bright side, it helps reduce the load of Bitcoin by having separate blockchains, instead of having a single chain where everyone's transactions exist. If it weren't for those altcoins, then Bitcoin would've become much slower in transaction confirmations, as its network would be in full capacity.

Speaking of altcoins, I've remembered an NXT asset called Barr, which rewarded users by burning altcoins. That helped remove many altcoins from circulation, making them more scarce than ever before. I wonder if this project is still alive, by the way.

Nevertheless, it would be best to stick with good old alts like Litecoin and Dogecoin, and those which are actively developed like Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Just sharing my thoughts. 

So that is why ETH became competitive and now on the second list of most well known crypto currency. And of course because of the hard work of their developers it is now paid off. The crashes doesn't matter it is just scary for those newbie in trading. I do believe that they can remain on their place right now for the next many years.

success of ethereum is because of the hype + rich developer and team behind it who can through thousands of dollars at it to prevent crashes by putting up buy walls + pumpers always wanting a big coin to join and pump for bigger profit rather than a small coin with low volume.
and the reason ethereum is on top is because it has a big maximum coins available.
and these makes ethereum worth investing as long as you can get in when there was a dump and price has crashed, not on the rise.

We can't deny with the success of ETH and that's why it is on the next list on the top crypto currencies that are competing in the market.
But it can never surpass bitcoin, these developers are seeing a very good opportunity and advantage upon choosing ETH for their project.
And that makes ETH to be worth of investing.

Will happen on its own... pos coins are at a dead end now (whats the latest btc core code of any coin using pos?) that  segwit code happened and bitcoin development diverges from the poorly written pos code that makes life a nightmare to manage upstream... so pow coins are left... the ones not merge mined will die easily because they arent secure.. so really you have a set of coins left.. and out of that only a few are innovative on top of bitcoin features.

I think that altcoins are worth to buy, because you maybe will make profit with it.
Just check wich is no scam and good to buy

Certainly there is no need to have hundreds of altcoins out there... one of the problems with the existence of so many altcoins is that, in fact, this is something that confuses people with little experience in crypto. I would say that many altcoins exist for a good reason, because in fact there are projects that try to bring innovations capable of making the crypto space even better, many of these innovations could even be applied in Bitcoin sidechains in the future. I agree with you that exchanges should prioritize such projects and remove scam coins.

What do you think obout crbit. A lot of things are happening, price is raising, good volume, new devs...I have some and I would like to hear your opinion.

The good coins with innovation seem to not be involved in these pumps.. indeed you or anyone here will not be involved in any pumps.. think about that a bit.

Ask yourself why? Well for one if im a whale id be accumulating when noone else is so i dont have to worry about providing liquidity to others on the way up.

So why not pick a good coin? Perhaps cause in this early phase of crypto many people are accumulating so whales think its less efficient to pump these. Also they require more liquidity than whales can afford to effectively pump them.

So that leaves the question... whats the business proposition of making money off of pumps? Well they must pray on fools that buy into herd mentality or such that they think someone knows something about a coin that they dont so they buy into the hype of a deadcoin rising. Basically its a pretty shitty business model for these new types of whales because if people find out that the coin actually doesnt even have a developer then trollbox will be quick to point out to those looking to buy into the shitcoin.. however some profit might be had but whales wont be able to scale out as much everytime they do this to a shitcoin. Basically get it while going is good and even if it makes a few bucks it will happen hoping that once in a while they hit jackpot by having some fool dump a ton of money into nonsense pump as i call it.

Not all of it is bad... as it may be funding devs who badly need funding to continue working or motivate them to work again so it does serve a good role but mot as much as if that money were put to good use on a good altcoin that gives back to communitu through innovation (not many of those either maybe a handful).

What can you do? Simple do your homework.. check ann thread if coin is pumping ask questions.. if someone from team isnt around to answer in timely manor and doesnt satisfy your request and or theres no development news... move on. Sometimes development news is overplayed so you have to read between lines to figure out if its good or bad in terms or value of the underlying token... this is why its not that easy to trade... i find being a developer its easier to see good development versus bad and make informed decisions...

I could easily seeing traders pay developers to make informed decisions on projects and developments and could happen pretty soon as people realize nonsense pumps and dont buy in.

most of these linking to ethereum is because most of those developers have seen the success in price for ethereum (in other words they have seen the pump and dumps) and want to join in with their own project.
next time ethereum is pumped you will start hearing a lot of news about all these linked projects and how they are also getting pumped, but again they forget about the dump because they will be dumped hard too.

I think that's plausible, there are even more developers that are linking their services with Ethereum. And smart contracts are becoming more popular nowadays so I guess ETH is really worth of buying.


Not almost anything are possible to be worth, there are coins out there that just want to make the market cycle ruined and becomes dumped in the end.

I'm not saying that this is good opportunity for earning money but in theory when we speaking how we can earn, and from which coins, you will finally conclude that there is no limitations. Whales are so creative these days that even smart buyers can be fooled very easelly, nobody even cares nor asks questions..

As Bitcoin's worth starts to move in a certain range, I think that the etherum worth  up trend will increase even more.

Which is right with the way pump and dump group manage to take advantage of those dead project allowing some newbies to think that the coin is really doing some moves but after you join the ride automatically they will dumped it and without any knowledge they will shaken and surely loses their btc.
