Bitcoin and Altcoins Thread

This is incredible

Anyone here knows how a US citizen can purchase Ripple, Outside of the 4 cryptos offered on Coinbase, I have no idea how to purchase any of the Alt-coins. Had I been able I would have gladly thrown a few hundred bucks at Ripple when it was 20 cents

Any one of the exchanges listed below will get you what you want (as long as you are eligible, of course). But Kraken or Bittrex will be your best bests. Both operated out of the U.S.

Interesting article and claims made, but not a lot of details provided. Here’s another article on the topic, with more details. Granted, I’ve never read anything off of this website before, so take it as you will.

As for your bolded sentence, just remember that what is being proposed is redistributing the 1 million coins as they exist on the new fork, not on the “real” Bitcoins that we know as BTC/XBT. How they would accomplish that is a mystery to me. This “forked” version of BTX/XBT goes by the symbol B2X, and called “Bitcoin Segwit2X”. Here’s the currency’s website.

It’s all very new. The github page, where this project’s code is maintain and viewable for the public is new, like 17 days new. Which in the life of any project is super duper duper young and fresh. Read more about why crypto teams use Github to share code in this Steemit article.

Still interesting to see if this materializes into anything.

I had to smile at this

That’s not my opinion, by the way… It’s just fun to try to get a rise out of the haters.

I’m LONG bitcoin (since September) in a dollar-cost-averaging buy-and-hold program. Latest purchase New Year’s Eve.

Whats the best wallet and why? Is there a lot of difference?

Can you expand on why you think this?

No, let up in this rally in Ether, all while Bitcoin sits in a range

Bad news for Bitcoin

Has anyone heard good news on cryptocurrencies recently?

Looks like the BBC jumped the gun just a bit :slight_smile:

Thanks for that Pipstradamus. Unusual for BBC to be ahead, they’re usually last to report “news”

Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ether all running around -6% today

Cryptos are down across the board, even Ethereum is getting hit now. I am buying the dip

If you had bought Bitcoin following all of these bad news events over the last few years you would be a very wealthy person today

WTF, people?

Somebody “flagged” this post? For what?

TradingPanda’s post was perfectly on-topic, and there was nothing objectionable about it.

Somebody didn’t agree with his point of view, and wanted to shut him up?

Is this any way to run a forum?



EDIT

Got a message from Moderator Jess, saying that the issue was that the post in question was
copied-and-pasted from another site. Got it. My bad.

So, as Grandmother said, as she put on her orthopedic shoes, “I stand corrected!”
