I came home and logged to the internet, and just managed to see the sudden incredible spikes......but then just as quickly as they came, the prices came crashing down again due to the sudden inexplicable rise in BTC price.
I don't think I can deal with this kind of heart-attack-inducing roller coasters......
Let us know your experience later.
How are the prices (spread, liquidity, etc.) compared to Poloniex?
I don't have the time to research into this.
There's also Kraken and Bitfinex to consider as well.
When I saw the news on trollbox, I would have been in time if I were at home. Ya, trollbox is 95% trolling but on and off can get really early news.
One thing I need to wrap my brain around is the pairing of altcoins to bitcoins. I need to study this more as I understand my buy in of NAV at 11k sat last time is not the same as the 11k now due to BTC price difference. Need to analyze this more later.
Bittrex's liquidity/volume is very low. Less bidding and asking, making the spread wider and more difficult to buy a certain amount at the price you want. It doesn't have lending either.
I understand Bitfenix has lending but I think not much altcoins right? Have to check this later too.

Damn too many alts in red now bcoz of the rise of btc.
So sad no btc now.
Yeah, but remember they are paired to BTC. The fiat value might not have dropped much but as mentioned above, I need to study more of this pairing to fully understand what's going on.

This is how we achieve mass adoption, this app is perfect for the unbanked, the mpesa users in Africa and millions of Indians facing demonetization nightmare.
You can private message people like WhatsApp, send any major tokens (testETH for now) to each other, and future intergration with uport, for reputation and identify, which would be used for micro loans. This will uplift people from poverty.
And don't forget it's a dapp browser too, App Store and play store without google and Apple behind it.
I don't think the market has truly grasp what's really going on here.
Plus I've listened to a recording of the Harvard Business School conference, a billionaire has 10% of his net worth in crypto, and he's just one guy.
Sit back and strap in fellas.
Clearly explained. Thx!!!
ETH has been holding up remarkably strong against BTC. I was hoping for a significant dip to buy in but looks like have to nibble a bit while waiting.

Unless something bad happens, I think the direction for ETH is likely to be up!!!
Ahhhh, the billionaire also practice safe investment. 10% in very high-risk instruments!

I don't suppose the billionaire got mention which coins he holds?
