Is this "locking up" of coins good for ETH in general?
I understand that it will create value, but it would also remove liquidity from the market, no?
Or am I just missing the point?

Good for Eth.
Guess I'll miss the train.

In a way, it's good for price stability. Not much coins left for shorting, mostly it'll be locked under ICO contracts, ENS and soon POS. This'll help to drive further demand.

Speaking of POS, I like the negative 8% by default, and validators need to maintain their node to break even and enjoy their 4% interest.

No slackers!

Damn, now I'm in a dilemma.
Buy ETH or buy BTC next???

Flippening! The moment where you trust no one but your own guts.

Take it easy.

I bought the one that Im willing to accept even if the value goes to 0.

Infancy stage remember? Still a ways to go.

Yeah, all these dunno-what-coins being pumped. I have a mind to just buy 10 dunno-what-coins USD100 each and just play with it!

Thanks kmarc for introducing lending in polo.In js 1 week,already earned about 20usd profit.Instead keep in some wallet and generate nothing,better put in polo lending and earn some money.Now feel like along too.Thanks to u bro.appreciate it

Nice. Which coin are you lending? Currently most coins' lending rates are horrible. Only clam is still good but coming down too.

+1000.

Alternative way to earn instead of just mini g.

U buy and u lend ur coin

My guts are telling me not to trust my guts on this one......
Maybe I'll just split it and buy both.

Absolutely hate it when all these dunno-what-coins suddenly jump 100% while mine are quietly sliding down to the abyss.

Nice!

Many Alt coin start rallying again once btc price stbilize

Haha, I have so many coins and imagine I'm also GREEN with envy when it is not my coins being pumped or it is majority RED!

Nice, most altcoins back to their usual self!

Ooo.... litecoin segwit at 70.2%.....

Welp, this is another reason why ETH is set to blow up higher.

IBM is also working with EVM via hyperledger. Yep, that same $100 billion dollar firm with other major global players experimenting on it.

hi guys, do you think Ripplecoin is viable? Thinking of buying some and keep. Hopefully it will be the official regulated bitcoin.

More good news! Thx! Aiyoyo, buying ETH is so painfully expensive.... . ETH better give me 10x my investment!

Ripple and bitcoin has different function. At the moment, ripple looks to be progressing well. However, what is the value of XRP is anybody's guess.

I did put some links in the front page on ripple. Can read and assess yourself

You're better off holding Bitcoin or Ether based token.

Ripple itself holds 62 Billion tokens, that isn't very decentralized in my opinion.

It's mind-boggling to think that there are so many billions of tokens for that one coin.
I kinda think I'm just going to cut my losses and get out of Ripple.
I don't have a good feeling about this coin.

at least justify your answer instead of just a one word reply

I don't know how is this being rude.

We're all here to share and help each other out, i'm new to crypto and I am interested to know as to why you are recommending BTC. I'm looking for answers just like everyone else. Simple as that, but you obviously took it the wrong way.

"But I'm not new to Crypto-Currencies."
By the way, everyone is new to cryptocurrencies. Every single one.

Please do report me if you deem it necessary. Have a good day.

Cool it down, mates.
Nobody is bullying anyone here.

@COLORWOLVES, we're all here to make friends, and newcomers are always more than welcome. We try to help each other out, and discussions are very much encouraged of course.
What @CoupeFanatic meant was that it would be much more helpful if everyone could post something engaging, for the benefit of others, such as why you buy or avoid any certain coin (i.e. you've done some sort of analysis, or have a unique perspective, or read a fascinating whitepaper, etc.).
For example, if I say to someone "Hey, buy XMR!" and then I tell him "I don't have to tell you why, because it's confidential" isn't really going to help the person understand XMR more, and could even come across as arrogant or condescending (which I am sure is not the case in your post earlier).

There are many trolls and spammers in the other threads on Lowyat.net forum (which thankfully we do not have in this thread) so we are all rather stringent on that (myself included).
