just curious...what is ixCoin actually used for?.. where is it being used in the real world and for what?.. or is this purely speculation?
It is Vlads mad dream, I dont think ixcoin even has development support.
Correct, the dev abandoned ixCoin (much like Satoshi) and this is a huge bonus when it comes to bank or govt involvement or an ETF 2.0. Don't worry, govt and banks will own Bitcoin in due time but they can do it much quicker with ixCoin.
No dev means nobody to hassle with like all the headaches Bitcoin's foundation (and dark wallet) is giving the govt and banks right now. Govt and banks will love ixCoin and since it's just like Bitcoin it would make it an easy target which they can then easily sell to the unsuspecting masses as the next Bitcoin or at the very least an ETF 2.0 after Bitcoin gets its ETF license.
Yeah but why would they bother with IXcoin when it takes nothing to create another coin, could even be exactly the same as ixcoin but different name.
The masses trust an old coin much more than a new coin and if there's an old coin just like Bitcoin laying around ad with no dev which could be much more easily sold off as a legit coin and not some government plan to enclave you why then would they create a new coin nobody would touch while giving themselves away?
"The masses trust an old coin much more than a new coin" The "masses" as you put it will be coming in over the next 30-90 days using your timeframe.
I'll assume by that you mean the "non techies" which is fine.
But what will alert new buyers to the fact to which coin may be oldest or newest?
As you know the flock wont really have a clue too much about how long one has been in the mix, they will more than likely look at the top 5-10 on the list, and anything below that will probably be brushed aside, IMO.
Investors with any clout will struggle to choose an altcoin (non BTC) due to the fact he/she would have to spend months trying to evaluate each on its merits, which they wont imo, well not to begin with.
The first one logically, a potential buyer will look at is BTC, as it is the only one noted in the news world wide and the root cause of this phenomena.
IXcoin may be the bees knees as you suggest, but saying that the government may/will take that one over is just an absolute hypothetical with no basis, imo.
I do agree that altcoins and BTC still have higher to climb, but saying to buy IXcoin because it is an old coin, well, I just do not see the relevance, and neither will new buyers.
It may be and old coin, but could do with at very least a working website?
There are no dev support on the IXcoin as it is probaly a scam.
I noticed 400k plus were premined?
Sound to me more like you are stuck in there with 650,000 plus coins trying to find your way out?
Nothing personal, just my observations.
