Well according to coinmarketcap ripple is +13% last 24h, so CCMF....and stuff?

Does this plot include the Chinese exchanges? All of them?

BTW, where is the Ripple troll ? where is he now that ripple is crashing and burning ?

look at the picture below, 59900% in 12 hours but look at the volume... I cant trade coins that doesn't have at least 10K BTC daily volume and at least 1 year old just to be at the safe side, I dont want to be a part of a pump and dump scheme even if the returns are 1000000% a day... I have manners and values.

 

I am sure you wanted to add "without a specific controlling authority".  For those three qualities you listed, one does not need the complexity and expense of the bitcoin protocol.  (Is that what Ripple is/was about?)

With "ownerless" thrown in, it is certainly an exciting concept.  Let's see whether it (a) can remain ownerless and (b) widely accessible without advanced hacker tricks.  Those are two of the things that I am very skeptical about.

By some accounts, paranoid maybe, Brock Pierce may be planning to "own" bitcoin, as  he practically owned the real-money market for virtual game money with his previous company (IGE). AFAIK, Bitcoin is now efectively run by a few industrial miners (not sure that is what Satoshi had in mind), and one of them (KnC) seems to have close ties to him.   In any case, the formation of a mining cartel or even a monopoly seems to be a non-negligible risk.

I don't know of any country that has banned bitcoin outright (er, what did Russia and India do, exactly?), but China and several others have banned its use in commerce and finance, and severely restricted its speculative trade.  Even the US, that otherwise seems to be bitcoin-friendly, has put many restrictions for its use in their own soil.  (A telegraphic tinfoil-hat interpretation of the US stance could be: the CIA wanted it, the NSA designed it, the FBI loved it, the IRS promptly taxed it, and the SEC said 'OK, fine, as long as American citizens are not induced to invest in it'.  )

yes, such an obvious bubble.

Nothing in the altcoin world can surprise me really. I mean wasnt auroracoin like 50$ a piece some time ago?

at the moment LTC is the only alt that I would consider trading and investing in... it is also the safest one and the biggest and oldest and most developed so I really don't really care so much about other alts, this and also most of them are scam coins... maybe go to riptelia thread and tell him about this coin, I've heard he is finally interested about pump and dump coins which doesn't really surprise me 

Thanks for your opinion.

While I know none of these actors personally, I rate those three as such:

windy - calls it mostly right, pretty sure he's doing just fine.

TERA - same, pretty much. was bearish when market was bearish, I'm fairly certain he's sitting on a large stake of bitcoin and will be taking profit as the price climbs.

igorr - is IGORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the X Window System made a coin? No? ... What a fucking shitty name for a coin.

I dont know. Just speculating. If everybody knew it wouldnt be an insider dump. Why would anybody dump pre-rally ?

price might test $630 by tomorrow (and will fail, but succeed the day after)

what do you mean insider dump ? what news we are talking about here ?

LTC: Is that an insider dump? Like the pre-gox closure dump.

someone is trying to spread fud... the troll box is all over about LTC death yet I cant understand what the news is about (if there is any news).... I dont understand why an exchange need a troll box... I just wished if I had some money there 

that was kinda weird, fat finger trading@btc-e? Huobi/okcoin were not involved.

In the short term we might not succeed. Nobody has banned bitcoin yet. Someday somebody may. Not everybody. Not forever. There's always a fix.

talk about volatility and profit making 

So disappointing
