Topic: Altcoins dead? - page 4. (Read 6362 times)

uhhmm yeah sure.. *IF* you weren't cleaned out already.
You have any idea how many coins i have been caught stranded with as they were removed from that last one exchange ?

You guys are full of shit.. big time !

Things are great and your making tons of money ? ... wrooooooooooooooooooooong
Your one of these guys that shows up late to the rush and bought over priced coins and now can't get rid of them
and admitting it will ensure you don't break even.. this place is notorious for liars.

ohh blah blah blah i made $3,000 some guy say's
oh really ?
how much came out of your bank account to do that ?

And if you keep playing the game just like gambling how long do think you will stay *up ?
All the old vet scammers in these scene are faaaaaaaar smarter than you lucky kids.. trust me LOL

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Altcoins r dead but it dont matter if u ain't brain dead.

~CfA~

Nah brah, I don't have a portfolio, I just like the idea of Altcoins.

See the thing is, right now, Altcoins are a completely saturated market. Everyone and their grandmother has an altcoin, which is fine, Altcoins are cool, if you want one then all the power to you, I'll even make it for you. The problem with a saturated market, however, is there is too much supply cause by too little demand. When the market slows down, demand goes up. Same thing happened with video games.

I'm just saying that Altcoins do serve a functional purpose, basically like a proof of concept for Bitcoin. I agree that Bitcoin will most likely remain the top dog in terms of coins, which makes sense, it was first to market and provided a major technological and economic break through. That doesn't mean other people can't join in on the fun. If it fails, it fails, some people lose money, sure. But it's the same with any investment, there will ALWAYS be failures.

And I never said I won the argument. You could be right and Altcoins may be dead forever, never to return. But I will always like Altcoins, they interest me. Sorry if you can't understand that.

"Good for making a quick buck nothing more."

Yeah because who likes money. Overrated I say.

All altcoins are crap seeing from the past year alone crap coins have been coming out, just for the sake of it.

Bitcoin will only be the top cryptocurrency no matter what.

Good for making a quick buck nothing more.

Why do you care? Altcoin trading is working out for me so far. The fact that its risky adds to the profit; you need good volatility for good returns.

Anyone can make money from anything its just a case of timing and execution. Even if altcoins were "dead" or "dying" you could make money off that.

Denial of what?
uhh the topic title

and even though there is random pumps on coins i would urge people to be cautious.
trading is just going to continually get more and more dangerous (because of a few reasons)

i am not saying don't play the game.
i am not saying you can't make money.

i am saying this scene as i predicted years ago now is limping along as close to death as it can get *almost.
i doubt many of these exchanges are making money (many closed doors long ago)

people leave.. exchanges close, this forum has no activity, tons of coins are abandoned.
and no matter what you guys see a bright future LOL

i have warned lots..
When i was a kid i stole my best friends cassette walkman because i knew i was moving.
get it ?

..provably not LOL
it's funny so many of you think your an expert on crypto altcoin stuff yet you can't carry on a conversation LOL

wake up guys.. no one is here (everyone left)
and those of you loitering around here are playing with fire.. good luck with that LOL

EDIT:

MUSst BuY MOAR cOINS NOM NOM NOM
MOON CHICKEN ARISE GET ON TEH TRAIN WOOO WHOOOOOOO
LIEK I MADES SO MUCH BITCOINZ LIEKOMG !!111
CHEAP COINS WOW I AM BUYING MOAAAAR !!!!

"Did you register at cs.rin.ru with the same name by chance ?"

Nope

"Also i don't think your looking at the big picture.."

Correct I'm looking at trading.

"Those coins you say went up are an indication of the whole scene switching directions ?"

Not really no. Well yes, in terms of price obviously it is.

"Or do you deny the fact that this stuff is dead ?
How can you ?
Do i have to grab an endless stream of stats and my old quotes predicting it then quotes of me saying i told you so ?"

Depends what you define as "dead". Obviously some people have some interest in them, even if its just to trade or the price wouldn't go up 30%. Ethereum more than doubled.

"You know i don't get it.. it baffles me no matter how bad this stuff gets you guys sit in pure denial."

Denial of what? Trading alts can be profitable. I'm not sure if that means that they can be "dead".

Alt's like btc are very risky.
Problem with alts is that there are too many scammers so people run away from them.

Now the BTC price is high, people sell and convert to fiat. Then when the decrease in btc starts, alt's will be very cheap and people will start buying it so the prices stabalizes again.

"In order to make $3,000 usd profit on dirt cheap altcoins how much did you have to invest ?
Let's get that out of the way first off Wink"

Invested 12k GBP, now valued at £15k GBP

"2nd of all there always has and always will be random little pump[s of action."

Maybe random but not little. Litecoin and Ethereum and Namecoin went up about 30-40% or so.

"Both of you came to this topic to defend Altcoins and you posted no real reason to do so."

I just don't see why people are saying altcoins are dead after a big pump into them.

"you two guys think you won this argument ? LOL"

Its not an argument. I have no emotional investment in alts, just a financial one.

@ilovealtcoins
That is weak..

"whatever reasons" so that is what you are clinging to ?
sounds like a solid investment strategy.. good luck with your portfolio.
probably full of IPO investments that had strong white papers and lofty goals.  

you forget i predicted what would happen and why and i have been vindicated.
i was right and proved it *continually.. but all of a sudden i am wrong ?
based on what ? because you say so ? ..when did you get here and start this ?

"Eventually people will come back"
you say..
Why ?
They already came buddy.. and left !
why do you think they left ?

Just because you found an exception to the rule (i never denied in the first place) doesn't make the rule itself invalid.

Both of you came to this topic to defend Altcoins and you posted no real reason to do so.
I heard i "i made money today" and "for what ever reasons, they will come back"

you two guys think you won this argument ? LOL

Like I say alts enjoyed big gains recently so the whole premise of this seems strange. Ethereum, litecoin and namecoin all went up a great deal. People are still making money trading them. I made a bit; not a huge amount, around £3k or so. They don't seem any more "dead" then they ever have.

Sure, this is true, for now. What will probably happen is people will leave altcoins for a while, it happens in a lot of markets (especially when saturation is this high) but they won't leave for good. Eventually people will come back to Alts for whatever reason. Probably the price of BTC getting too high.

Alts will never really be DEAD, so to speak, they do serve an adequate purpose (experimentation, introductions to the crypto world, etc.) And that will be enough to keep them alive. Whether they hold any monetary value, however, could definitely be argued.

nothing new

altcoins are risky

BTC is risky

BTC $1,200 (2013) --> $180 (2015)
LTC $50 (2013) --> $0.85 (2015)

Cryptsy? many old notable altcoins are listed on several exchanges

decentralized exchanges? time will tell

now numbers

one year returns ($)
 
CSC/BTC  +3868.43%
NYAN/BTC +1330.50%
DGB/BTC +790.09%
EAC/BTC +649.31%
CLOAK/BTC +605.39%
TIPS/LTC +490.36%
FRAC/BTC +453.72%
CASH/BTC +383.46%
MINT/BTC +308.71%

but

XPY/BTC -99.77%
HYP/BTC -97.47%
RZR/BTC -95.40%
UTC/BTC -93.61%

NEC/BTC -85.89%
VIA/BTC -85.36%
FTC/BTC -85.15%


you're right
kids/parents shouldn't gamble with crypto at all, it's risky

So meaning very careful when deciding to buy and hold a coin for the long term with a significant amount of your hard earned money.  In fact, people here who have been around a long time should discourage newbies from doing so.  This is crypto, not a mutual fund. 

Don't gamble with your kid's college fund.


 

The annual monthly rebound (or when BTC spikes up) never offsets the price drop of Altcoins overall.
The price of alt's may go up and down but they have been dropping more than rising..
So in time they have been losing value if you look at the big picture.
If you can't see this your not looking hard enough or in denial.

People come to this stuff to make money and if almost no one is making money and almost no one is doing it.
Then it's dead.
And this IS what has happened already !

The game is over.. Altcoins "It was a thing"

You guys ruined it and i warned you too (and you all mouthed me off and denied it and called me a troll)
well look around.. it's a ghost town.

..nothing but a handful of bag holder rats scurrying around a dirty Ziplok baggy.
Face facts this crap is bleeding to death and it's on life support.
And that means places like Cryptsy could simply slam it's doors closed with no warning any time
(taking your coins in the process) as i have warned about looong ago countless times.

I'm a troll you guys cry ?
I am right and you don't want to hear it.
And rather than admitting there is a problem (so it can be fixed you guys push on with idiotic schemes)
Adding a Market to NXT or Monero or something is not going to save the day LOL

..catching a falling knife is fine but for fucks sakes guys use the bloody handle

As long as people are willing to trade them back and forth, altcoins will always be here to stay.  Maybe not as a currency, but maybe something to play around with for BTC/fiat.

well,

to all guys who consider altcoins as 'dead'

Why altcoins? the first time I've heard of cryptocurrencies was in 2013
none of my friends have heard anything of Bitcoin till 2013 maybe 1-2 guys from IT security but they didn't tell anything about that
BTC had a market cap > $1 billion already then

so, a big question... initial fair distribution...
....
why old altcoins? they provide a pretty fair distibution and decentralization, but ONLY if there are at least 100-200 different altcoins and people can choose, any altcoin is not fair and not decentralized if it's alone
100 altcoins can provide fairness and decentralization
why fair?

since 2014 almost every one has heard of Bitcoin, every one has a chance to use the search function and find other digital currencies, to buy or to mine them

IPOs, ninja launches, 'centralized ponzi tokens' are scams, mostly or all

and no need to launch new altcoins until you're
(a) a teenager who likes 'new and cool' things only
(b) a scammer who wants to 'rob naive kids'
(c) a centralized corporation whose primary task is making money
(d) a misinformed person who considers all old coins as 'dead'/'sh..'/'scams',
but anyway you should remember that your new coins will be considered as 'sh..'/'scam' if not 'dead' too in this toxic atmosphere and it will happen quite soon

edit: rats are the first who abandon a ship when they feel like it's sinking
in 2015 things changed, there is margin trading... be careful when you buy overpriced coins

old notable coins even if they are inactive still have thousands of addresses/holders
yes, if a coin is inactive, now that's just a DISTRIBUTION, that matters anyway, and notable old coins with hard-coded and total supply to be limited are like COLLECTIBLES, so that matters too, time will tell.

Probably all (or 999 out of 1,000) newbies read toxic posts, and since 2014 people have been kept buying overpriced top altcoins thinking these coins are safe and not 'sh..'
First adopters of these coins sell their coins mostly I guess (edit: since many members and new investors buy them and prices don't rise, and these coins are not mineable mostly, thus it's not miners), and all money goes into big and pretty centralized pockets, is it good? no

Many old altcoins are inactive because people are tired of toxic atmosphere here,
so that's not completely right that people say 'sh..' because altcoins are inactive, but rather altcoins are still inactive because people keep saying 'sh..'
