Okay, I honestly cannot believe anyone is continuing to take this thread seriously.
The premise behind cryptocurrencies is that they are a currency and a technology.
The only real, honest reason for people to put value behind ixcoin is because of the BS from this thread.
When technologies exist and compete with each other, it is natural for the better technologies to take over each other.
Ixcoin is no competition. It is an old coin, with slow ten minute transaction times, and a low limit. If you think it's going to be a store of value, you may as well just buy bitbar.
The cryptocurrency of the future will have a TX time of 1 minute or less. It will have an active community, and there will be constant development.
Ixcoin has no reason not to be abandoned, just like every other shitty altcoin. We are far past the point where the total possible coins dictates the value of the coin, your theories based in religious absurdity only shows you have a deep interest in pumping this coin up, especially when you own 3% of all of it.
What you're telling me, if your theory is true, is that YOU, Vlad2Vlad, will own 3% of ALL THE WORLD'S WEALTH within a few years.
You are telling me that in today's terms, you would be the equivalent of a trillionaire today.
Please...
You're saying better technologies should and do win and take over. Then you go on to say technologies or coins like DGC are better than IXC.
lol, to that I have to laugh. Try putting a couple Tera Hash on DGC at one time to see how many times it forks and dies. Try doing that with 99% of the supposed superior alts out there.
Secondly, you do know this Crypto technology is all about security and securing the blockchain, right? That is the number 1 goal for this new technology cause without high security all your wealth is worthless.
That said, do you really think DGC or any other New CrapCoin which has come out in the last 6 months, like DGC, is anywhere even close to IXC?
Thirdly, speaking of better technology: how long and how hard has DGC been tested? Oh, 6 months? And how many times has it seen being hit with massive Tera Hash [let alone PH] of mining power and not cave in, fork or die?
lol, so basically DGC and 99% of these supposed superior coins have never been tested, not by time and not by any real hash power so then not only are they inferior technology to ixCoin but they're also a massive risk since nobody knows what will happen 2 years from now or if these CrapCoins will ever even be secure enough to be able to be used on any global scale.
So you're right, the better technology will and should win and take over but you obviously haven't done any research if you fail to see you've invested in the most unproven, immature and weakest of technologies.
As for the religious observations: are they not there in plain sight? Perhaps you like to ignore obvious things like Network Security, mature proven technology, scalable networks and other crucial aspects of this new industry but I for one look at everything, no matter how small and I take it all into consideration.
Good luck with DGC and its community. Maybe when it forks or dies or fails to secure your life savings you all can get together with a community organizer and continue lying to each other why your inferior technology is not defunct.
BTW, 3 months ago when DGC was at half of 1 penny I gave it my professional upgrade with a $1-$3 price target and I said it would happen in 2014. I was called crazy but even though DGC is inferior to IXC I still expect it to hit my target this year and it already did hit $.74.
But I'm not interested in $3, nor am I interested in just $1 million. What I'm after is much much more on various levels and to get that one has to find the next global currency and from what I see, iXcoin is hands down the best alt coin for the job. And the best part is that I will be a hero or a fool in a matter of 2-3 months. Please do come back then regardless if I'm right or wrong.
Godspeed!
I don't know why you said I'm invested in DGC. I'm not. Don't put words in my mouth. DGC has yet to prove it has anything unique.
I'm going to totally disregard your religious theories, because as great as they are, they can be applied to almost anything at any time in history, i.e there's always a group that thinks the world is going to end.
From what I understand, you are positive IXC will take off due to its network hashrate, even though it really offers nothing a currency should have.
A few concerns I would like addressed:
1. If the network hashrate provides so much security via merged mining, why can't another coin just implement merged mining as well and be just as safe?
2. If all the coins are finished mining so soon (2015), and this coin is not Proof of Stake, who is going to do the mining to process the transactions? Especially when there is no incentive?
3. Maybe you believe 10 minutes is what is necessary, but not everyone is going to use coinbase, and it appears that shorter times of 1 minute have worked securely and fine. What makes you think that anyone is truly willing to wait 10 minutes in line for each customer?
4. Why would the people of the world choose this coin over all of the others? It's scarcely an improvement on bitcoin, and seems to more ride on the back of its miners as if it is a parasite, rather than anything unique or useful on its own.
These are things that must be considered. The 21 million number is totally arbitrary, and doesn't really provide much of an incentive to pick this coin up by itself. Its maximum number may as just as well be 12 million.
