Topic: Is Gulden a good investment? - page 183. (Read 250186 times)

Great to see the premine is keeping the scumbags from investing in Gulden. Go Premine Go!

I consider Gulden to be an excellent long term investment because their focus is on real user growth like ours (I am the founder of ArtByte).

Bitcoin grew slowly but steadily as the community of real users grew. Now days, speculators jump to the newest, promised technology, hoping to catch the next Bitcoin. But Bitcoin was not pumped thousands of percent in the first year, like today's speculative coins.

Gulden is one of the few legitimate coins building a real community and I congratulate them.

Mobile wallets and huge premines do not a good investment make.

Also, paying with Gulden anywhere that takes Bitcoin isn't a big deal. Just because Gulden sucks too much to get itself on shapeshift.io doesn't make rolling your own service revolutionary.

The premine is the reason the coin is this cheap, I agree it turns investors away but I can also vouch for the team having put it to good use to date. 99.9% of ICOs, IPOs, Premine'd coins have been scams which makes crypto users hesitant.

I bought my first Gulden a little over 100 about 2 years ago and today it's 450 with more supply, it's clearly a coin on rise and they not beholden to special interests because the community funds the projects.

then i'm out... if a want to gamble i'll do some dice so i can take my profit quickly.
and as an investment... 10% premine doesnt sound good.

iOS and Android wallets (Decentralized) and unique design that you can pay at all Gulden and Bitcoin merchants (No other alt has this)
Direct wire transfers into all Euro bank accounts on iOS and Android wallets. (No other alt has this)
DELTA Diff Algo - Most advanced diff algo thats allowed them to stay on scrypt instead of taking the easy road and going PoS or changing algo.
Update to 0.11 code base - About 5 alts have updated to this code base if they were originally developed pre 0.10. It's easier to create then update.
Very good community

They also said the next release will be the largest one yet.

There is more but can't think of it off the top of my head.

I don't find any special features for Gulden, just a plain and ordinary coin. I prefer other proven reliable coins.

Those altcoins unheard of in the bitcoin world sometimes rake in profit for you during a pump.

As a Dutch person I have been following gulden from the sidelines and I keep beeing amazed by the development and the services they produce. That is unheard of for an altcoin with their limited recources.

The premine appears to be still biting them in the ass, but it was created in the time that all country coins were premining to do airdrops on their Country.

Price has always been quite low and not moving too much, which is most likely due to them not being traded on poloniex. If it is traded there, more people will investigate and figure out what is acutally going on there.

Disclosure: I just bought my first few NLG yesterday. Not much at all, but I wanted to a few with the major upcoming release.

Has the developers given anymore information on slack on what is coming in this release?

Next release from Gulden is going to put other alts to shame, the developement lead said the bitcoin payments to desktop wallets is one of the smaller updates out of 10. This update is only taking 3 months.  

To be clear up front: I have shares in the development of Gulden & I own a pretty large sum of Guldens. Alright having said that let's continue;

(I'm aware I don't have a lot of posts; No I did not register just to post on this topic but it did trigger me to post for the first(?) time. I'm more a reader than writer on forum boards. )

1. I think that the answers given by hermanhs09 are very harsh, un-nuanced and shows that he's not informed well about Gulden + I sense a negative sentiment against altcoins (or Gulden in specific)?

Probably not a good investment.
This is an opinion which I would ask you to back up with data as it says nothing and doesn't supply any info relevant for the OP.

Seriously, gulden is relatively unheard of in the general bitcoin world and isn't that popular.
This would count for most altcoins + what do you expect from a project of this scale at this time? Time will tell.

Without a demand for this coin, there obviously wouldn't be a very bullish market.
Demand will grow as the apps get better, the community is working hard to expand the user base, people are working on projects attached to the Gulden blockchain etc. etc. There is a healthy user base already.

I don't think either of us have a crystal ball to see the future; Everything is relative and obviously people have the right to their opinion but if you are negative about something at least follow up with facts rather then sentiments so that the OP can actually make a clear assessment rather then this "everything other then BTC sucks" mentality which I see too often.

Besides, we don't really need it when we already have other altcoins, and especially bitcoin itself. So there is really no point for gulden to grow in the future.
If the current altcoins would actually release technology attached to their blockchain, actually released what they promised etc. I would concur though this is far from the truth with most Altcoins. One thing is for sure; The Gulden developers promise but also deliver and it just works. Using your logic Apple would have never released the iPod as there were already MP3 players in the market.... C'mon get real

Long story short: I'm not here to change your mind (hermanshs09) but I at least hope that my response to yours gives you something to think about and that you could be a bit more nuanced in the future.

2. I believe that the best reply given to the OP is actually done by glerant. Unbiased, honest & a good answer which looks at the pro's and cons.

Looking at the risks I have assessed less risk with Gulden vs ETH / ETC / LTC etc.. I mostly base this around almost instant NLG -> EUR (IBAN via nocks.co) or BTC  so you are very much in control of your Guldens and can exchange very rapidly. Secondly I have taken a look (and asked a WHOLE lot of questions) regarding the blockchain technology, the future plans, the developers (very skilled) and if they deliver on time (yes they do). The last part is that the community is great and very open to newcomers; Always willing to share information or discuss. It feels very welcoming always

Your comment about the pre-mine is very factual. They spend it on the community, community projects and anything else that can help Gulden forward. No sleazy things happening with the pre-mine at Gulden.

------


I just wanted to put this out there and everyone can feel or say how they think about things (which is totally fine).
If the OP has any questions I welcome you to the Gulden Slack where you can talk to everyone from the Gulden team and it's community directly if you have more questions.

Greetings,

yes. this is true. i bought some and just hold them. and i will use them when i will travel to the netherlands.

I haven't got any Gulden - but I do have some views on it.

I would say that it is a long term investment contender.
It's not a run of the mill scrypt/sha256 bitcoin clone - uses DELTA POW.
The devs tool a 10% PREMINE. This would be enough for many on BTC to start writhing and cursing like the little girl on the Excorist - however they appear to be spending this premine wisely and diligently.

Bottom line is that they seem to have quite big traction in the NL - if anything will break mainstream it could be somewhere like the NL where it happens and this coin would be an obvious choice.

My advice would be if you like a gamble, buy on the troughs and hold long term - it's pretty stable price wise anyway.

Probably not a good investment. Seriously, gulden is relatively unheard of in the general bitcoin world and isn't that popular. Without a demand for this coin, there obviously wouldn't be a very bullish market.

Besides, we don't really need it when we already have other altcoins, and especially bitcoin itself. So there is really no point for gulden to grow in the future.

We don't need Gulden when we've got other coins. If you are in for the quick buck, make a Geertcoin (you know to which blonde guy I'm referring). I guess that's the only way to trick Hollanders (Dutchies) in to buying a national crapcoin 

I guess they need more "development" money  lmao

I think your explanation is so good that I am going to check it out if it really worth or not i guess all the other who will read your post ,we seldom see a coin like that 

Yes, guilty as charged. Everything I posted was also rubbish to try con people into looking at Gulden.

are you speaking with yourself on a forum ??
