QUOTE(wengherng @ Feb 26 2017, 12:36 AM) Nothing much is known about this new altcoin (i.e. alternative cryptocurrency) except that it just started on 1st Jan 2017, and is less than 2 months old. alright thanks dude They claim to be based on Litecoin, but their website does not offer any further information on the use, technology, security and as far as I can see, it does not bring anything new to the industry (unlike for example , Etheruem with it smart contracts, Monero with its zero knowledge concept, etc.). Also, they claim to be mining-free, but 1 million coins are created every single day, with a halving duration of 50 days (don't ask me how these coins are created without mining, or who creates them). Furthermore, there is a thread on Bitcointalk where some forummers have already alerted that the founders are the same scammers from the infamous Bitkingdom saga. Read about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1731787.0 At the moment, it is not known if they are legit or not, but personally, until more information is released, I would put them on high SCAM alert. Too many useless and pointless altcoins are being created everyday, with the sole purpose of scamming the naïve population eager to jump on board the cryptocurrency bandwagon. |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Feb 27 2017, 05:59 PM) Yeah, looks like it. I'm holding back some bullets too. See how's the trend. Ether? Going to check it out! QUOTE(Napoleon Hill @ Feb 27 2017, 08:50 PM) Have been looking at Ether for months now, and positively kicking my own arse for not getting in sooner.Was actually looking at getting in around end December 2016, but decided to get more bitcoins at the last minute. Turns out, that was precisely the time of the lowest point of the Ether dip (around Christmas time), and it has rebounded nearly 100% as of today. Can you imagine my feeling right now...... But it's gone up so fast now, I'm not sure if it's the beginning of a bubble......I believe the pace is just unsustainable. Although, for the long term, I still think that Ethereum will be here to stay, considering the advantages it brings to the financial world of the 21st century. |

At least, I can use BTC to buy ethereum. Then comes the problem of cold storage which my yet to arrive Trezor wallet doesn't support. BTC at RM 5324! |

Remember not to buy BTC at peak if you're looking for short term trading. Expecting it to fall back to 4700+- before shooting up again

Paper wallets are probably one of the safest types of wallets, and is great for long term storage, where you definitely are not thinking of selling or trading in the near future, because in that sense they are not as versatile/convenient as a hardware wallet. Just learnt paper wallet from you. Still need to do some research to see whether viable for me or not. Maybe print out many copies and hide everywhere..... Which crytocurrencies are you investing in? However, bear in mind that you bear the risk of physical damage like water and fire, and the ink becoming illegible due to humidity, etc. And it is a very bad idea to print multiple copies and hide everywhere, as someone might just stumble on it and remember that anyone who has access to the private keys, has total control over your cryptocurrency.

Would be easy to buy other crytocurrencies without using MYR directly as I think not many exchanges deal in MYR? Just buy bitcoins using MYR and use bitcoins to buy others.
