Topic: YES YOU CAN get 2 MILLION dollars just for saying hello on a thread here on bct (Read 3471 times)

i just realised that you could have nearly got 300btc for the free nem stake... so with todays btc price that's much greater than the thread initially said.

That's the eternal question.

It's hard to class NEM as an ICO as it started off free and then became pretty nominal after that. I think they only raised something like 63 BTC in total.

I personally wouldn't be bothering with anything ICO related myself. They have too much inbuilt market weirdness from the offing.

Something that's already available that can be researched but isn't a huge deal at present is a more practical option. I really don't know how many worthwhile options there are like that with things the way they are in these bubbletastic times.  

I suggest watching this video to see what this guy looks for.. it pretty closely matches what I look for. Good introduction into altcoins and why many of us think bitcoin will be replaced with a coin that has technology that addresses it's limitations.

His top 3 are doing very well, though DASH was already high back then as it went up in early March.   Look at where Stellar Lumens was trading when he made the video. haha.  It's interesting to watch because you can get a snapshot in time of where the cryptos were 2 months ago.

I was wondering what the OP is talking about as i am new to the alt coin section as i never would have bothered looking into alt coins  because there are too many to even bother looking at it as anyone and everyone is coming up with an altcoin,but with the recent increase in price even i thought of looking into it,but how do you figure whether it is a good project because every ICO on being listed in a exchange is getting a good value,so i am a bit confused,is it always a good thing to invest during ICO or when they are listed in an exchange.

XEM has no mining and no inflation which probably accounts for its very different trading behaviour. There's also nowhere to play margin either. Its volume has gone from thousands last June back to 50-100 per day at various points.

An awful lot is being held back by the developers though I assume it'll bleed into the market eventually. Also people who run super nodes have to tie up 3,000,000 XEM which takes plenty off the market.

Lack of hype is one of the slightly mysterious things about it. Utter shite has garnered 10-20x more attention on here. It's been very stealthy so far. Much more appears to be happening in Asia with it rather than here.

I've been doing my own digging. There's a guy on youtube with a channel called "Let's Invest" who went through the first 300-400 of the altcoins looking for anything unique but came to the conclusion that most are clones of other coins or don't bring anything new to the table, and that the market has done a good job with pricing the more promising coins with higher market caps.  I don't want to rely on one source of information but he no doubt has some useful information.

Stellar Lumens have been in a tear... tech looks promising. I'll dig into it more, but I'm not going to rotate into a coin with such a high market cap. Need to do some more digging. Looks like a Ripple Clone from a quick look.   Linking to this thread for the sake of discussion... congrats to the guy if he actually went and loaded up on it on May 1st.. he made a killing.

An interesting fact about XEM is how it's made the climb with relatively little volume compared to other coins.. look at the volume on Steller Lumens... XEM has yet to get even close to that in 24 hours.. I see that as a sign of a "sleeping giant" to be honest. Even now there's not much hype about it on this forum relative to many other coins.  I admit I am hyping it slightly, but trying to remain factual and give good information as well.

Hello

I bought $10 for $0.0025 at least know I have some hundreds hehe

i missed out on 3 btc of decred cos i was stuck in hospital and the spam folder contained the final airdrop confirmation email darn

I think it was January 2014 or somewhere around then. I have no doubt there are similar opportunities out there right now. I wouldn't know where to find them any more. The alt noise ratio is peaking.

looks like that ship has sailed.,

but will look for future apportunity.

Damn, how did I miss that?
About when did that happen?

Really ​interested to read how nem coin developing until today, looks like the devs team did it so well and crypto market already recognize its advantages. Significant increases of nem within months, but I feel sorry that you lost one of your private key, $100K is a big deal obviously.

How many sock stakes did UtopianFuture get, he admitted he created socks, but did he confess to the number of sock stakes he received? He must be filthy rich now, what a scam, not NEM itself but UF.

was a stake that much? damn I had a stake it was 3+ years ago I sold it I thought it was only 1 million damn that hurts a little more lol.

IMO it's still worth investing in NEM, they can only get more successful and they have super solid development. Oh, and actual implementation and a really solid PoI system. Definitely gonna invest more.

Yep, and a pizza was once upon a time 10,000BTC.  And think about it, that wasn't even 10 years ago but it seems like an eternity.  So yeah, hodling is the way to go, it seems.  If I were you, I'd probably NOT reflect on how much you could've had.  That's the sort of thing that can drive a man bat shit crazy.

A million bucks of paper profit. If I remember rightly nxt was only on one weird little exchange for a long time. Good luck pulling a million out of there.

It's a stupid argument. Everyone is wise after the fact. I could of bought Bitcoin at $1 I could of bought dash two years ago for almost nothing, I could of got 50k of ripple for being a memeber here.


The biggest one by far was NXT which was for a year or so massive and was distributed to those who blindly trusted and sent BTC to an address. Many accused it of being a scam but the fact is if you sent even as little .5 of a BTC you could of made a million bucks plus.

A stake is 2,250,000 XEM which is worth around $160k as of this post.  It never actually hit $200k this morning... It peaked around $185k for 5 minutes.

Hello, I had also some millionen XEM.
