ETH long-term hold for me. Anyway if I want to buy other alts need to convert anyway.

Hmm... I see. Hope Binance somehow supports THOR. Otherwise have to pay withdraw fees.

I bought 2 LTC when it was $300 lol

Seriously though I think different use cases. LTC was designed to be a lightweight alternative to BTC and is supported on more exchanges. VEN was designed for supply chain verification.

Litecoin has a special place in my heart - it's the first altcoin I bought.
I know upcoming news include lower relay fees and possible partnerships with companies.
Also any improves to Lightning and Segwit from BTC also will carry over to LTC.

Did some comparison of a few currencies compared to 1 month ago.
LTC got hurt a lot more than BTC.
If you bought ETH in Dec, you can still be happy.

Bought some earlier. Good potential since it's IBM backed. Many similarities to Ripple but not controlled by the banks.

VEN a dark horse? It's a top 20 coin and the most shilled/promoted crypto on Reddit now.

I bought VEN too. And it has potential. But I don't consider it a dark horse because many people already know about it.

Definition of Dark Horse: "a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds."

At this point VEN is well known and if it succeeds nobody is going to be surprised.

Bought a few this morning. I like that they manufacture their own unique RFID verification chips. They can sell it to other supply-chain cryptos.

Just buy a bit (1 or 2 units) to reduce fees on trading (50% discount).
It will take the fee out of your BNB wallet instead of the currency you're buying.

OmiseGo (OMG) is rising too. I think partly because Stripe discontinued Bitcoin payments and said they're interested in OMG.

It's one of the few cryptos I'm actually excited about, because if it fulfils what it promises it'll make it even easier to transfer fiat-2-crypto and vice-versa. And it rides on the Ethereum platform.

lol it gave Cardano B- while Stellar, RaiBlocks and Bitcoin are all Cs

Populous coin rose a lot today. Don't know much about it except it uses Ethereum smart contracts.

Apparently CoinMarketCap made a mistake with the amount of VEN in circulation. They corrected it a few hours ago.

Some of the FUD is legit. They make it so hard to generate seeds for their wallet that they allowed external parties to provide services to do so.

Which allowed IOTA wallets to get hacked.

At the time of this writing their wallet still doesn't have a seed generator.

I think ETH's market cap will exceed BTC's within 2 years. So many projects riding on Ether's blockchain. If they gain success, it helps ETH as well.

Both ICX and EOS are interesting. Bought a couple of both.
Both are ambitious, but both are basically vaporware until more DApps or cryptos are based on them.

However I think EOS if it fulfills its promise of zero transaction fees and scalability, it'll beat ICX.

Also I like EOS's logo more. Feels very cyberpunk.

ETH is now a very safe asset. It's handling more transactions than any other cryptocurrency. It's also faster and cheaper than BTC. Plus it's not just a currency, it's a platform for others. It's only a matter of time when it will exceed BTC's market cap.

Best performing currency right now is Stellar (XLM). Glad I bought just before it suddenly shot up.

Sold off half of my VEN. It has potential in terms of business partnerships but the core tech isn't very unique. Price may increase again once they demonstrate they have a working product that actually uses VEN.

Looks like XRP is going to keep falling with this news.

Ripple Wants XRP to Be Bitcoin for Banks. If Only the Banks Wanted It

"The problem is that banks say they have no interest in using XRP. Current and former executives at seven global banks—some of whom have partnered with Ripple—say there was scant chance they would ever entrust their corporate clients’ payments to a cryptocurrency. "

"XRP has fallen 55 percent from $2.92 in early January. Swift’s Newman says such volatility is bound to turn off bankers and their clients. “If the value of a cryptocurrency is going up and down like a yo-yo, this isn’t a serious medium of exchange,” he says. “It adds unnecessary complexity. The solution is worse than the problem.”
