If you don’t mind me asking.
What would you say are the top five crytocurrencies..other than bitcoin.
And where is the best site to buy them?
I try to start a thread on this but didn’t have any luck.
There sure is a lot of fear of bitcoin in the news recently. Not that anything seems to have changed, other than more forks giving present holders of BTC hundreds of dollars in the forked coin per coin...
There may be a better crypto out there, but the death of BTC has been predicted for so long now it is almost meaningless given the gains.
I own some, but not more than I can totally walk away from. This is a very high risk investment, but as they say, “no guts no glory”.
The value in bitcoin rests in the avoidance of negative impact caused by traditional banking fees and charges. While this may not be intrinsic value, there is some value in the fee avoidance and the fact that the currency exists outside of the banking cartel monopooly. The rest is speculation in my opinion.
Also, the currency cannot be manipulated since the supply is finite and not controlled by any one government.
These things are appealing to people who deal in bitcoin. Where it ends up is anyone’s guess.
I would dabble a little in Ripple, Litecoin, Monero. Bitcoin is still the ‘safe’ choice as compared to other alt-coins. There is something better than blockchain tech and that is hashgraph; it appears to be cheaper, faster, better than blockchain.
I don’t know if “bit the dust” is the word for it, but it was quite a roller-coaster drop. It had to drop down some after that ridiculous spike it had. It went from 7,000 to 19,000 in a month. It settled back down around 13-14 thousand. It’s still up by around 1200 percent for the year. I’m curious to see where it goes from here, it’s been pretty stable for the past few weeks. Actually, since they started allowing BTC futures, it hasn’t moved a whole lot. I wonder why that is. I have no idea.
Thanks.
