The ppl selling need to think before they act. Counterparty is going down and not than things like NXT or Bitshares just because Counterparty happened to get mentioned in this article, but over the long term its the best positioned for regulatory compliance. Look at something like NXT and half the assets are scams and most of the other half are tiny one man operations which could never afford to do things the 'right way', but Counterparty seems to be mostly larger projects and has this Medici thing being built.


In my opinion, Counterparty faces many obstacles, one being regulation, another becoming irrelevant via sidechains, another when people realize Byrne is build a completely independent platform that has nothing to do with Counterparty (which is in fact what he is doing, you guys just don't know it yet).  You can squabble all day about comparing Counterparty to Nxt or Bitshares, which accomplishes nothing.  Nxt assets like Nxxty and Jinn will soon have larger market caps then Counterparty and perhaps even Nxt. 

I liked your post until the NXT propaganda kicked in.

I didn't intend to interject Nxt propoganda.  Not sure where you see that, I'm just stating facts.  Both Nxxty and Jinn have nothing to do with Nxt, they are just very profitable and fast growing Assets because they have "real world" products, hence they could be subject to SEC regulation.

A difference which makes a difference
Did anyone else notice that this thread had 510-ish pages until very recently? Suddenly it is now 502 pages long. Has someone been deleting their posts or something?

I love meeting the NXT people at conferences, just as much as I love hearing the doorbell ring and finding a family from a certain religious sect wanting to leave me with literature...

I'd like to sell 4000 XCP @ ~0.009BTC each.

PM me if interested.
May I suggest you go to poloniex or Bter instead, or create a buy/sell thread? Thanks a lot.

If many of you really comprehended what was going on here you'd be buying up as much XCP as you humanly could lol.

I think it's obvious really, but why try to convince people?

Ain't no party like a Counterparty!
Honestly I hope people keep panicking so I can play the warren buffet card. He always says never look at the day to day price of an asset, pick an asset that you feel you understand, has HUGE growth potential, and is atm HIGHLY undervalued and just keep investing in it at your own pace and you WILL come out on top.

So let the people panic and sell, let the price drop down to .001btc so I can buy up a bunch more. I posted on the previous page about bitcongress and I bet most of you didn't even check it out, they are building an entire platform to offer the citizens a way to vote for legislation in a decentralized fashion and this platform was built with counterparty... I mean jeez if you guys really look at the stuff counterparty is being used to create right now and thus realize how XCP (the token showing stake in the future of the protocol) will be beyond valuable within a year or so...If many of you really comprehended what was going on here you'd be buying up as much XCP as you humanly could lol.

Counterpartying
There is zero chance of Counterparty becoming "irrelevant" because of sidechains, which will always be much less secure and have fewer features than Counterparty.

This is still not fully understood. Will be nice once it clicks for everyone.

When people realize Byrne is build a completely independent platform that has nothing to do with Counterparty (which is in fact what he is doing, you guys just don't know it yet).

That's a ridiculous claim. Medici is definitely using XCP and Counterparty. And as PhantomPhreak stated, sidechains are much less secure. It makes no sense to sacrifice liquidity or security in either scenario.

From a regulatory perspective, Counterparty doesn't do anything that Bitcoin itself doesn't also do.

Overstock.com is building the Medici crypto stock market directly on top of Counterparty.

Counterpartying
Isn't this type of thing aimed at for-profit businesses and not so much for open source software that has no revenue model?

I think we'll look back in a bit and scold ourselves for panicking. Still holding for everything I'm worth.

Well said. Interestingly enough, if these "authorities" were to go after some of the "Bitcoin 2.0" platforms themselves, Counterparty would surely come out unscathed having not raised any external funding (Proof-of-Burn was a very foresightful and innovative move).
