Imo this is understandable.
@CoupeFanatic stating joining date is sounds more like adhominem, although towards a crypto-persona/an account. A simple 'why BTC?' wld be more appropriate.

He took it personally okay i rephrase my words, why BTC? xD

I apologize COLORWOLVES now can we move on.

imho sure BTC is a good buy now as it's showing bullish signs for the past few days, but i bought in at cheaper prices so i would take profit first and move my btc to other altcoins.
BTC prices shows a heavy inverse correlation to altcoin prices especially ETH XMR and the like.

in other news PIVX is picking up the pace with the current #SkyRock hype going around now. now currently at $1 or 83k satoshi.

Other coins like EXCL is also gaining much attention. But be careful of this coin, buy small orders and only buy at dips.

That's my justification.

i lend btc out.

the capt drops by to say hi . . .

are you THE captminer?

Sorry for my ignorance...but please enlighten me......who's the Captminer?

yeps... been lurking lyn for sometime but hardly post . . .

"Sorry for my ignorance...but please enlighten me......who's the Captminer?"

google might help lol, other locals knows who i am but in reality i'm just a nobody though.

Obvious question:
BitcoinUnlimited or SegWit?

Your answer will have high influence towards my confidence in Btc Msia.

Interesting discussion. I am really new to all these and I just say this forum has been very helpful to me. Just wanted to ask how much is safe to be placed on exchanges and when should we start to consider wallet like ledger or Trezor. I know individually it differs

Great to see points being out across to justify which coins to put our money into. I have nothing to contribute yet so for now I just record my appreciation and be a lurker ... Lol

Wah segwit activation really make these altcoin jump in value suddenly eventhou it might just pump n dump.
VTC,LTC (might need to pull this out)
Digibyte also activating the segwit
Probably gonna see this one get pump after this.

How much is safe depend on your trust to those exchanges.

Think of the coins as physical gold coins.
When you put coins into an exchange, its similar to having a deposit box in a bank to store your coins.
You have the key but effectively the bank 'may' have a copy. If you trust that your bank wont somehow take your coins then its ok. Be aware that there are cases where exchanges were 'hacked', but few believe that they were actually stolen by the exchange itself.

If you intend to accumulate coins, and believe that the price will appreciate in a long term, get wallet ledger or trezor.

If you intend to frequently trade those coins and try to profit, it's more convenient to put in an exchange.

Security vs usability. Decide which one is more important.
Hope this helps. Of course has to do your own research, and keep updated on recent news.

Nice! BTC rates used to be good. Now so bad!!!

Quick google showed experience bitcoin miner with huge mining farm? Any tips for us poor cryptonoobs?

On other news, my darkhorse Siacoin is moving! Presumably due to this news just fresh out of the oven : https://cointelegraph.com/news/sia-integrat...ralized-backend

Again, not suggesting anybody to buy. Please do your own research. Sia is still in its infancy and it will take months if not years before a viable product comes out.

If you guys want some complimentary TA on Ether, this guy is pretty good.

We should be expecting some fireworks in the coming days, hodl on tight.

Hmmm will SC retain the price and increase further > 100 sats?
I looked up the SC and its sound kinda good if it can partner up with big company.

Technically speaking, no amount is safe to be put in exchanges......but unfortunately, there is no other way to be able to trade quickly and efficiently, so you have to strike a balance between convenience and security.
Normally, I suggest the Rule of 5.
If your holding in cryptocurrency is 5 times the price of a hardware wallet or more, then it is worthwhile to buy a hardware wallet.
Meaning, anything above approximately RM1,500 worth of cryptocurrency, it is better to get a hardware wallet.

My goodness, you're right, it seems like every man and his mother are going for segwit activation these days.

Ah crap......! I'm all out of bullets...!

Bitcoin started its another rally...breaching 1230USD....
All other alt coin start seeing red

For me, SC is a long-term investment. If the developers get it right, 100 sats would be peanuts! However, I think to reach that goal will take at least another 1-2 years. My 0.0000002 SC opinion only.

Gosh, I need to sleep.....

Tightly hold in hardware wallet!

As you said earlier, might be worth it to accumulate a bit just for holding long term.
Seems you made the right choice earlier!

Again, I don't know the future. The potential is there and work is in progress. Just have to hope for the best.

Ok, I need to sleep. Hope I can sleep well and not wake up to any bad surprises.....
