"Coinbase — one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges — has announced that a swathe of new altcoins will be added to its platform."


I missed this memo. Last week, apparently. I wonder if they'll keep adding more after this bad day with bitcoin cash

Would be a good day for XRP to get added to that exchange... Might be time for me to invest a little more of my spare change.

Hhhh thinking of investing but I have no idea what I'm doing? is it best to go for a cheaper coin or bit coin?.

a reply to: testingtesting

If anybody knew what was better....


Personally, I think cheaper coins have more potential. BTC itself will go the way of the dinosaur IMO, and *something* will replace it. Not sure what, though.

a reply to: lordcomac

Mind you I will only put in a hundred quid or so so apart from that what can I lose

a reply to: lordcomac

Very smart.

I am looking at verge and Digibyte. I should have pulled the trigger a few days ago. But live and learn.

I have been at it for 2 month + or- .

I invested in Ripple-Reddcoin-Stellar initially. Why you ask? Because they seem like good ideas and have a solid leadership team-with the exception of Reddcoin, they were a guess. And I put like $70 in the coin.

This will tell you how to move money into accounts so you can invest.


Do your home work. If I were starting I would look at investing in Verge or DigiByte both are listed here coinmarketcap.com... Both are under .20 cents.

DO YOUR HOME WORK. Research is key-websites-social media-charts-youtube. All these are your friends, but end of the day you have to pull the trigger and buy in.

Then you either have a ton of homework or gambling to do.



It's best to go with a coin that is a few things.
1. Low in price (as per your capital 100 quid)
2. Low in coin supply (I only say this in this instance because of the capital)
3. Low in marketcap but newer to the market possibly. (This is a tricky one because old tech could be dying and new tech could be scammy, research is key)


Find like 5-10 of them. Then its time to do research on those coins. What problem do they solve? What does a coin on the blockchain (or DAG) do? Most important, who is the team working on it? Can you see their faces, their experience? How transparent are they?

This should get you started.

Doubtful so that BTC is going the way of the dinosaur. Seems it will still compete and at a higher -to USD price, than the other coins.

As some are asking, other crypto coins are always good to invest in as well. I'm happy with Litecoin. My first one was free when they came out. If you can get those kinda deals as these crypos emerge all for the better.

a reply to: lordcomac

Players of the USD and Wall St. are primarily coinbase users, and aren't too familiar with a lot fo the Altcoins. As these fads roll into the shores of the states and coinbase adds all these popular foreign exchanges, the values are going to get ridiculous, and we're in on them now. I am very thankful to have found crypto early... this invention is bigger than the internet.

Look at what the creator of Litecoin just did! Good will outdo the bad doers with this crypto!!!

Just don't buy Bitcoin... only buy Etherium and Litecoin.

Bitcoin is expensive to mine & transfer. That means, when people are buying dinky buys with low value, it bogs down the already slow network, makes it harder for blockchains mining to complete transactions, of which only increases electric costs and costs for valued transactions.

Think of Bitcoin as gold, and Etherium & Litecoin as silver. Think of Bitcoins as where to keep your 100's and 50's, while the other 2 are 1's, 5's, and 10's.

Its very important that we take the time to learn these new languages. This movement will unravel the flaws of the USD, and the rest of the world is positioning themselves ahead of the U.S. in regards to be in position for when the transition occurs... not if.

Our phones and computers are now a bank... they are no longer access to your bankers. Crypto forces us to be in charge of our finances, and its extra healthy to feed ourselves as compared to eatin the crap we're offered from a purposely deflated USD.

When more money is printed beyond control, it actually ends up being an increased tax. Well, the world doesn't want to play the games of the USD forced spoon feeding anymore. If we delay in learning, we will watch China own the bulk of Americans essentially. Upwards of 70% of block chain is mined in China. That means, China's worth jumped up 1000's of % in the last year or so... it certainly isn't happening in the U.S. Most likely because the U.S. is spoiled and not been in suffer mode as the world has if you ask me. Nonetheless, skipping out on investing in crypto could equate to certain poverty, while small investments now could greatly improve your options to have more choices in the future.

I am going to learn in this thread... I hope to see many join along, as I am a very prideful American and I want to see this country picked up and healed... not left behind.

Watch for BitcoinCash (BCH) do possibly double within the nest day or 2... when coinbase allows buys on their platform. That's my guess anyway... if I'm wrong, oh well... I doubt it will be falling off a cliff in a year or so.

I like NEO a lot too... it's pricey, but s nice steady climber. The high price doesn't matter with crypto because fractional shares are included. The stock markets are just exposing fractional share buys while the entire crypto market was born with it.

Sorry, but the USD is now seen as the printing press while crypto is what the internet was designed for. 20 years later and it's still expensive as hell to transfer funds. Say bye bye dollar... or at least get the damn U.S.A. coin going now, as I would gladly pay taxes through a crypto based coin that gains value as people pay taxes. It would force a consumption based tax system, which is accurate and without need of an auditing network. You want a Mercedes, your citizenship automatically moves the tax payment to the U.S.A. coin account.

Hold on tight, its going to be a bumpy ride... it'll get bumpier the longer the U.S. stalls to get on board with it too.

Any fork using the Bitcoin prefix is printing money. Personally, I'm completely against it.

a reply to: JinMI

I can agree with that, and I don't support knock offs either. At the same time I am keeping options open that some of these forks are opening as Wall St. polks its nose into Papa Bears happenings. That's part of the beauty of this technology... that it can't be shut down... some new code and a new name, it sprouts new roots. This is not stoppable at this point... it fixes too much human error and intervention to fall away.

a reply to: ttobban

It's odd. I'm seeing the market cap rising. I'm seeing bitcoin shrink and bitcoin cash also lose some value. Lots of tokens with very large coin supplies are rising, Ripple, Cardano, Lumens, Tron, Nem etc.

Interesting times.

Also, there is tons of divisive bashing going on as to who has the better tech, idea, scope etc but not many have much more than a blockchain or DAG with coins and a wallet. So by all feasible measurements, they stand on equal ground.

Going forward is going to be something interesting.

a reply to: seasonal

Nice work and good calls. All having historical highs.

a reply to: JinMI



check out this talk at minute marker 53:40 or so... I wish ATS would adopt this.

Personally, for tech I like IOTA... they go block chain free and use Tangle instead. If block chain breaks down over time, tangle would get the next run... if not, it will still be going as a social experiment.

I'd love a troll battling platform...

a reply to: ttobban

Blockchain and DAG (the tangle) can co-exist. Different network capabilities and both have cons. I'm still not vested in any DAG tech. I really should be.

a reply to: JinMI

I agree... mergers of these are inevitable as time goes... when one needs the other to live. Even that becomes easy... they just absorb into each other and become mega coins.

Diversify...


I sold off a half dozen or so of my litecoin investment from over the summer and sent them over to another exchange.
I've got holdings in 23 different coins now.
At least six of them look really promising, the others have smaller investments in them just in case- it's hard to predict the masses.
