So, Crypto seems to be booming again, even with a collapse in BTC underway.
There are somewhere around 1200 Altcoins about, with explosions in value in several, and massive increases in market caps.
Spent the last couple of days looking in to a couple of coins, both require buying in BTC, which seems terrifying at present unless you buy in person... otherwise the value is far in excess of exchange value.
There have got to be plenty of people holding Crypto on here, if not actively trading.
At what point are you expecting this bubble to pop, and what do you think will emerge out of the other side?
Technically speaking, BTC is one of the least impressive coins... but with so much competition, lots of people will end up holding junk at this point.

You can use coinbase and then GDAX for getting your coins without paying any fees. |

Will catch up from page 7 of that bitcoin thread
I was going to invest in BTC years back (when Ste told me not to buy at 300GBP and wait until they returned to 150... )
Was going to buy ether a year or so back. Didn't.
Now I have a couple of ideas that I may well go in to.
Borgy has a point, ensuring they have some form of intrinsic value is the bugger. ____________________ Top cat

Calm down, I'm still waiting for the price to crash before buying any for the purpose of holding until the price later goes up again.
It is going to crash people as who've bought in stuff advertised on Facebook lose confidence and sell up rather than holding out waiting for profits.
Most alt coins become nothing and pose no threat whatsoever to bitcoin. Litecoin is well established not really a threat. Monero on the other hand does offer various advantages over bitcoin and
Bitcoin transaction fees are also pushing people towards Monero. |

For that I don't want to buy coins for more than a few hundred per coin at the most. Apart from the fees getting expensive there are no problems with buying coins to spend.
Every time the price has drastically dropped, the price doesn't stay low. What makes you think that anything will be different?
Buying a few coins at £150 each would be an acceptable gamble imo. That is of course if the price ever drops that low again other than when one of the altcoins is taking over as king of crypto.
I don't expect bitcoin to last for ever as it does have weaknesses however it's notable that the blockchain has never been hacked. |

"More confessions"?
No, that's always been my opinion and I've said it before in the bitcoin thread(s) on BCF.
It's an interesting question how banks will one day try to make of blockchain technology. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 110 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
