Topic: Has Any Altcoin Ever Really Gone to the Moon? (Read 1227 times)
the moon is relative to what was invested, if you make x20 you mooned IMO, even if the marketcap doesn't break into the top 50
The one altcoin I made 12 times my money on was Bitcoin Plus that sells on Poloniex. I could have made 43 times my money and that was my biggest win and fail all at the same time. Winning 11 bitcoins was cool but losing 30 bitcoins left a sour taste in my mouth lol. 
I snorted laughing when i seen my name man ROFL 
Interesting question though.. and you know i am not sure.
It's an old term many years old that i know of hearing it on Troll-Boxes (case people don't know)
Meaning a huge increase in coin price..
How much i don't think has even been defined.
It is historically said with "Arise Chikun" a reference to the TV show Aqua Teen Hunger Force - S03E01 - Video Ouija
And i can not go to the Moon ..i am a Satellite stuck in Orbit around Earth

So the NXT Dev makes a completely arbitrary definition of "to the moon" to self-derail thread.
A more realistic metric would be 20-100 times for a known coin...
SIA just went from 4 sat to 120 sat in a few months... probably 5-10 legit alts like that per year.
In 2016 already ETH, STEEM, SIA... plus I'm sure others.

each altcoin has a price and the level of each, and I think every coin has a "moon" them respectively. as eth, quartz if one eth appreciated sebegar 0.05 BTC, I think it is the "moon" of eth. if you compare it with bitcoin, then the answer is probably you already know, that there never was altcoin which has a higher price than bitcoin during this
Moon is at billions and not trillions. BTC is on the Moon right now.
Mars is in trillions.
When BTC will go to Mars is a better question?
1 billion is a Exosphere. Exosphere have extremely low densities and is almost space. Only ETH is there now.
100 millions is a Thermosphere. Steem Ripple and LTC are right now there. Maybe ETC will join them soon. Satellites and ISS flies in Thermosphere.
50 millions is a Mesosphere. A bit more gravity and big meteor storms. ETC, DASH and nem are there right now.
20 millions is a Stratosphere. Lots of hot balloons there. MaidSafeCoin, Lisk, Emercoin, NXT, Dogecoin, Monero Synero, Waves.
10 millions is a Troposphere . Lots of clouds there and you can actually walk there if you love to hitchhike. So no need for fly. DigixDAO, BitShares, Factom, Stelar, SiaCoin, Bytecoin.

ETH already went to the moon.
ETH was 50k satoshi during the ICO and went as high as 3.8 million satoshi (0.038 BTC) in Mar before the Homestead release.
This is about 76 times the initial investment. I guess this return looks pale in comparision with XEM and NXT.
The good thing about ETH is the liqudity. You can sell away 100 BTC worth of ETH without affecting the price.
Even more if you see things in usd.During the eth ico period btc price was low so it was like 90x price rise. ETH was 50k satoshi during the ICO and went as high as 3.8 million satoshi (0.038 BTC) in Mar before the Homestead release.

that's the key. no price rise means shit without that possibility. i've seen people yelling moon off the back of daily volumes of about $50-100. then again i'm not sure many people posting here know how to count or add up, or think for that matter.
people call going to the moon for altcoin only when they rise a certain percentage for example when the go up more than 100% it is the moon it doesn't have anything to do with the market cap or the price because none of the coins that you named here can ever reach that high. because there never will be enough demand for them because they don't really have any kind of usage to make that much demand.

It would be cool if someone makes a list of all "moon" altcoins like nem,nxt etc... so we can see all our ships sailed so far
but what were the volumes? in most cases this 'moon' is nothing but paper profits. you need something that goes up and stays up to really cash in. either way it must be a great feeling to count your imaginary millions.
The Doge millions seemed pretty real, at least for the one guy who bought a Lambo and put a Doge vanity plate on it. Also the infamous God PDF with luring in gullible people to buy Doge.

Quark went from about 30 satoshis to 30000 in a month or 2 in 2014.
That is pretty moon-like. Though now it is at 751 satoshis, pretty much dead.
ya right 1000 times within a month its quiet amazing.In when who would have buyed a good amount would have become rich.Incredible That is pretty moon-like. Though now it is at 751 satoshis, pretty much dead.
What means "moon" ? At least 100x price rise? Isnt ethereum like 90 times higher than in the beginning? Lisk will go 100 fold.
The first time I heard the moon stuff was with Doge. Early adopters of Doge essentially acquired their coins for free or essentially free, minus a few bucks in electricity, and during the ATH there were millionaires.
100 fold is actually on the lower side of returns. The lucky 8 in NXT put in like $200 each and received $5 million ATH each. For NEM, some people acquired their stakes for as little as $1 and could had unloaded it for 30,000x (300,000%) during the ATH a few weeks ago.
For Ethereum to see a 30,000% ROI for the ICO crowd, you'ld need a market cap of $600 billion.

there will be a cryptocurrency that reaches 100 billion and beyond. maybe it's not bitcoin. it's definitely not any of the current alts. who cares about them apart from a few traders?
what they're doing is educating some super clever people who'll take all that knowledge and run with it. imagine what something like a newly built ethereum put together by professionals could be with ten years of fuck ups from the original ethereum to draw on.
