^ Rofl. I mean I get it. I trade in and out of alts to add to my BTC stash too. But saying Raiblocks solves all of BTC's issues and almost insinuating that it's gonna be the next BTC is just... well kinda dumb.

Raiblocks of all things. Lol.

almost all the altcoins have made such claims about their coin fixing the issues that bitcoin is facing and only a handful of them have actually done something about it in reality not just advertising method...

I think I have said this before but if anything has any chance of competing with bitcoin it is these coins that are using DAG technology. of course Raiblocks is a combination of dPoS DAG+Blockchain!
they claim to have tested 7000 TPS on testnet how much it really can process? we don't know yet.
but also the issue that I find with the claim is that the test was done on a strong server capable of processing that many "connections" which is against decentralization...

or for example Byteball is a project that I like myself but so far you can not be a witness and that means the owner is setting them = centralized. if you are curious it only processes 20-30 TPS
same with the other one (IOTA) maybe a little more ~50 TPS.

not much improvement if you ask me.

No altcoin will replace Bitcoin and take its number one and dominance. Still that doesn't mean you have to abandon altcoins just have to choose very carefuly which one to invest.
Altcoin market will expand further but altcoins will always stay just the second best.

The OP spoke too soon.

But this is just part of other market correction. Although some altcoins are also pushing, bitcoin remains dominant as of the moment. Patience its needed in this trying times.

LOL. Is this the same mrai claiming before? or I'm lost here? Yeah, but doing trading alts as well, been pretty good experience to trade and then stash more bitcoin. And if bitcoin surges again, win-win situation for bitcoin holders.

some people especially noobs or newbies are just panic selling whenever they see a specific change at the markets but most of us pioneers are always know what to do and have a full control on the current situation.

other guy thinks that raiblocks solve the problem of bitcoin because raiblock has no transaction fees when sending or recieving coins.

yeah right bitcoin is back and now up to game again. altcoins on the other hand is now declining again but still it still a good chance or moment to buy them as a part of our investment and trading portfolio.

Bitcoin is back up $17,000 and with that nice move, the air has been sucked out of some of the hottest altcoins of the past month like XRP, XLM, ADA and more. Is now the time to lock in profits, buy the dip or something else? Let's talk about the day's action and what we might see in the future.

Well, it appears there is a little market correction today that swiped nearly over 90% of the market. The market is looking all red no where to see green but red everywhere. I hope this kind of correction will not last longer because it ruins people day. The last time checked about bitcoin it was selling at about $14,700 and i don't whether the price go up or down by now.

I swear this is exactly what a lot of traders do. I'm now re-entering some of the spam groups I used to follow months back, just for the hell of it. To be fair, some of them put effort into TA, but as they should know by now, it's really a bit of luck into whether they're right or not. And it's "good" to see things haven't really changed: the most experienced people putting supposedly hours of work into analysis, and then getting excited or panicked depending on which big swing crypto decides to lean into.

Am really glad I've more or less stopped trading seriously. Better fun gambling!

LOL aaaand it's gone again.
Almost -10%
When will you guys learn that there is no future with this crippled system.
It does not scale.
It's infested with banksters that took control of it.

Just look how elegantly Raiblocks solves this bitcoin mess.

The air which was sucked out of altcoins will soon going to sucked out of bitcoin too by whales, when it will reach the next ATH. Not a move by bitcoin but this shift of investment is just a greedy move of big traders and whales, to be honest they don't care about bitcoin neither altcoins, they care about their wealth and they always want to create dumps after peak to buy them again at dips.

And just like that, everybody loves BTC again. It's funny how fickle the crowd is. And annoying at the same time.

They are always following the money, it just makes me remember all those memes who the grandma's and old people were posting in facebook, like those guys running on a park following a batch of hundred's of dollars.

It is weird, but we all are always seeing how people are VERY desperated for money, they can do anything.

And this is the first proof of that, now that bitcoin is going up again, everybody is saying - Yeah, keep going up! I have never lost my faith on you!

You are looking at the wrong metric, which is Bitcoin's price and are happy that it has rebounded. You will have to look at Bitcoin dominance, to find out how Bitcoin is doing in comparison to alts. And that has been on a downtrend from the start of December. Even in the last couple of days, while Bitcoin has risen, altcoin prices have risen even more. Bitcoin dominance is at a low of 34%.

No this is wrong what you are saying.
Marketcap as used right now is totally misleading and useless!
Therefore Bitcoin's dominance in that regard means nothing, or other way said, alts are not strong!!
Launch a shitcoin with a 100k coins, sell 10% of those to the market for 10 bucks each and keep the other 90%!!
Still the marketcap, as used right now, will say your coins are worth 1million in total.
Then go to korean exchanges, will zero to almost zero fees and inflate the price with 2-3 accounts playing ping pong with each other even more. That's what is done with many shitcoins right now. And you should know this!

The time now on Hold and wait the best time for selling Bitcoin. Bitcoin back up after long red week and less than 13,000$.
bitcoin will keep gaining next 2 weeks and will up more than 20,000$ next 4 days.
New sellers must wait for next correction.

You can't really expect loyalty out of the majority. I mean, sure, each coin has its own appeal, with its own niche, but we're kidding ourselves if we don't admit that most people are in them for the money. Their features are useful for sure, and I'm sure people actually use them, but I would hazard a guess that they're being used for price speculation more than for actual utility.

The people go where the money is, and Bitcoin seems to be today's hot item. Truly annoying yes, but such is the crypto life lol.

Alts are currently not sucked, because the market cap is increasing and even passed 800B for first time. And I think alts will continue to dominate the whole year. TBH I don't like this way too fast growth of the all coins. It's speculative and giving more food to haters and regulators.

You can pay attention on the exchange site if bitcoin prices go up, usually the altcoin price goes down and vice versa if bitcoin price goes down then altcoin rises, it's like a pattern to predict whether the coins will go up or down. Although the prediction is not 100% correct but it is more than enough to be a benchmark to know about the increase of bitcoin and altcoin.

Oh yeah, bitcoin is back but I don't think that altcoins will bleed heavily. What we are witnessing is somewhat new. Both bitcoin and altcoins can grow together. Which made me to conclude that there are more investors again flocking to the market after they all rested during the holidays. Japan and South Korea leading the new again. If altcoins are going to bleed in the next coming days, it will be slow and not a huge dump as everyone is expecting.

I bailed out of XRP when it reached $3.50 a piece and know that it woulfn't hold out for long since the pump is too obvious. Good thing when bitcoin hit $13k-$14k, I have my fiat ready at hand and bought a few. With the number of investors and traders of bitcoin growing, 2018 would still be bitcoin's year with alts on the side. Bitcoin will remain the top crypto since you can't get alts without it and not much exchange supports fiat deposits to directly trade with alts. 2018 will still be a fruitful year.

That's a really good call on your part. XRP is not going to go far in my opinion due to it's centralized nature. I like the way you look at the importance of bitcoin as a vehicle to purchase more altcoin. I've never really looked at it that way.

In terms of the future, I think it's guaranteed that we'll see some kind of drop or correction at the 20k resistance point. I don't think anyone really knows or can predict how bad it'll be, but I don't think it'll be as rough as what we saw end of last year. Now's a good time to buy, or if you're willing to take your chances, you can wait until we get to the resistance point and buy that drop that's likely to occur.

There is trouble abrewing

the $17000 resistance was broken and that showed that bitcoin still has lots of demand that is buying it regardless of what is going on in the media and social media FUDs.
but it didn't hold, although the drop was not big (it is still $16.5k), and at the same time the altcoin pumps are still young and ongoing which is attracting a lot of money. i say bitcoin is back soon and when it breaks the $17.5k and goes to test the ATH this time.
