Topic: Altcoins potential in a year from now (List) (25/08/2016) - page 7. (Read 47350 times)

as long as enough people decide it's the gold standard then absolutely. the only reason the vast majority are messing with alts is to get more bitcoin.

I like the way you created this thread and hope you will be maintaining this thread in the future and i have seen many coins i have not even heard of ,i would bother less to learn all the coins but then i would like to know how you came to a conclusion regarding the coins you listed are good ones and what was the benchmark you have used to evaluate those coins. I would like to know that in details.

Right. Beside fundamentals all you need is price, volume and Fibs, especially 50 - 61.8 area.

Well, thousands of "investors" use stupid theories like Macds, Rsi's, etc, to make their trades. That guy is not gonna be worse than 90% of traders outthere.  

Yeah, especially true with LISK, BTS, DCR, NMC   

I have a feeling this thread is now used for pumping Altcoins when Bitbay was listed the price was pumped up and now Maidsafe and I will wait and see that becomes Maidsafe in the next few days, if the price get pumped up then I can confirm the pumped theory

Dont forget, theres also a race to be able to service MegaUpload 2/Bitcache.

The "race to the bottom" is a danger for Sia, no question. I mentioned earlier that I'm paying ~$76 a year for an Office 365 account that gets me 10TB of OneDrive space. (Compare that to $99/year for 1GB from Dropbox or Google Drive.) In addition, Amazon is offering "unlimited" storage for $60, though my Goodsync client revealed it's not really unlimited. Still, 100TB for $60 doesn't suck.

Sia's primary advantage, then, might be privacy. There are some files that people either can't or wouldn't want to store on servers owned by Google, Microsoft, or Amazon -- especially large video files, which Sia can supposedly handle pretty well. That might make Sia a viable alternative to the big cloud storage players for some, and increased demand would boost the price of Siacoin in the long term.

BTW, I've fiddled around a bit with version 1.0.3 of Sia. The tech is decidedly not ready for prime time just yet. I'll try it again when v1.1 is released.

From their website -- Siacoin is used to buy storage on the Sia network. 

There is a glut of cloud space supply, the price is a race to the bottom between the tech giants; sounds fantastic for Sia 

Let's investment in XAURUM (XAUR)
I'm sure after the completion of this project will XAUR price high.time the right to buy and store XAUR for today

Hi,

any comments on XAUR or DGD ? With gold looking like it's bottoming at the moment, it could be a good time to pick these up as they are gold backed coins, the only crypto out there that is. XAUR looks particularly robust given that BTC is strong, XAUR hasn't gone down that much.

Thanks, DD

Hello,

Thx for your share. I really like follow your thread.

What do you think about Vtorrent ? ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annvtr-vtorrent-share-with-freedom-2fa-hd-bittrex-889481 ) 
If you already look this one.
Thx ++

BTC dominance to the blockchain scene is 85.5% right now. Do you feel that BTC, a chinese centralized, manipulated, slow and expensive coin deserves to be more than 90% of the sector, given the tremendous improvements we're seeing in the last times?

I don't think so, maybe in the short term we can see BTC rising and alts dumping even more, but in any case BTC deserves to be more than 90% of the sector. Q1 and Q2 of 2017 doesn't look promising for alts in general, but in the long term (Q3- Q4 2017-2018) I feel that we will see great rises everywhere.  

Agreed. I'm holding Stratis and GameCredits right now, as I believe they offer more promising returns in the next 2-3 months -- especially if the tech teams for both hit their targets and make some big announcements in December and January. Sia isn't going to do nearly as much in that span.

I did put about $4 of satoshi dust into Sia in order to test out the tech behind it. If it works well, I'll invest more in it next year. I don't necessarily need more cloud storage -- I've got an Office 365 subscription that includes 10 TB of OneDrive -- but private, decentralized cloud storage for a quarter of the price of Dropbox or Google Drive is a compelling proposition. A few potential roadblocks:

1.) Pricing. The Sia team needs to make it clearer how much storage actually costs. I presume this is coming down the road.

2.) Platform Integration. Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive all integrate well with Windows Explorer, which makes backups very easy. Dropbox works well with Mac and Linux, too. (I don't know about the others.) Sia isn't on that level yet, and it would do well to get there if it seeks mass adoption.

3.) Legal issues. If the FBI managed to uncover a trove of illegal (or "illegal") content stored on Sia, it could make anyone hosting Sia files a target for prosecution, set up a huge Section 230 challenge in the courts, and scare a ton of hosts off the platform in the interim. I know Sia encrypts files so that hosts don't know and can't access the files they're hosting, but when has that ever stopped an overzealous DOJ prosecution team? (If Sia offers any sort of file sharing between users, the RIAA and MPAA could make a huge stink about the platform, too, though that might end up being nothing more than free advertising, and it's not like Dropbox doesn't offer file sharing already.)

Until 3 becomes a big public issue, though, Sia has potential to shake up the cloud storage market -- not to mention it's a neat idea for a Raspberry Pi project.

VultureFund, you still think altcoins will rise when the price of bitcoin is so strong? I feel the real crash for altcoins is not here yet. When bitcoin hits 1000 dollars, all altcoins will crash hard in relative to bitcoin and many people will cry.

Depends on how long you want to hold. I think you will get your reward earlier with other coins.

so it looks like sia is the best investment

Pesobit is for me a currency with a lot of potential! Professional, very fast development, partnership with banks ... in 1 year!

And I'm not talking about the Filipino community ... third community in international transfer behind india and china .. To be continued!

Hey man, I don't know anything about Pesobit. About Reddcoin, it's the typical Polo pump coin, the main risk is Polo delisting it, but if RDD keeps trading there, nothing to worry about, eventual pumps will come.
