I asked a cop once and he gave me one of those yes but no answers, it would most likely tbe too much of a hassle for any reasonable person to report, find, and arrest you. As long as youre not stealing their info and shit you should be good

it really must be crazy what some fully automated setup with bots must rake in, do you do this manually?
Would now be a good time to invest in Litecoin? I already missed the ETH moon landing. Will Litecoin get me my Lambo?
>>2253736
Why yes? Does it have the potential to be the next ETH? $27 a coin seems cheap enough.
>>2253734
I think it will go up to $35-$50 by August.
It definitely won't make you fast money like an ICO or a coin that gains 100-200% in a day but it's viable if you like to hold.

ARK is meant to be a push-button deployable blockchain that can be replicated and forked by startups and other companies that seek to utilize the ARK business model. In other ways, it is comparable to coins like LSK and SHIFT. These are coins that will utilize IPFS, a decentralized means of storing data.
>What is IPFS?
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more secure. It has been lauded as the next iteration of the internet and a replacement for HTTPS. For more on this:

There are several coins that are currently implementing IPFS in some form or another, ARK is one of them.
>B-but how is ARK different?
ARK is developing 'Smartbridges' -CONT-
>Smartbridges
https://blog.ark.io/what-is-the-ark-smartbridge-and-how-does-it-work-1dd7fb1e17a0
It is developed by the ARK team to allow intercommunication between the BTC, ETH, ARK, and LSK blockchains, among others.
>What does that mean?
One example of using Smartbridge is the transfer of payments through various blockchain networks. This allows users to send a transaction with a specific amount of ETH from ARK, directly to the holder of the ETH account, once the information is processed and verified. Other applications will eventually lead to the transfer of data for user profiles, service ratings, contracts, and other applications. The use cases really are endless.
Another use case could be a 3rd party coin exchange service may look for specific triggers and handle cross blockchain payments for their customers. For example, You have ARK but want to pay for a movie using Netflix Credits but you don’t have any Netflix Credits. You could go through multiple steps to transfer into these credits to watch a movie but because you are a member of Bob’s coinshift platform, you can send an ARK transaction to bob with the instructions to pay for the video you want to watch with Netflix Credits on your behalf. This would not require Bob to be there and would be handled by the Centralized and Decentralized system that Bob’s Coinshift provides instantly for the consumer.
Now onto my predictions -CONT-
>My analysis
I have been watching ARK ever since it launched in mid march, and here is what I've learned:
>ARK is relatively stable
>ARK has had 3 significant surges
>First one at launch
>Second one was several days later
>Third and last pump was a couple of weeks after that
>Since then, it has been on a slow descent to around 10k sats
>At around this level, it had stabilized for a couple of weeks
>Volume has been relatively low despite showing 70+ btc as a result of bot activity
Now it has begun to rise, much in the same way that it had prior to the other pumps. When the volume actually begins to take off (200+ btc) it will most likely surge. Remember, the volume that you see now is mostly artificial due to bots. These surges are almost identical to each other, so I would expect that it will take off soon. (Within the next few days)
BUYER BEWARE: I have noticed whale activity. There is a whale that occasionally puts up a 48btc sell wall (161k ARK) at 30k sats. There is another (or maybe the same whale) that puts up a 21btc sell wall at around 50k sats. If you are looking for a P&D coin, beware these regions... they will surely cause a dip.

>explain to me why etherium is worth money
I understand why bitcoin is worth money. It has a fixed value, and explicitly designed to be a store of value. Sort of like gold. But why is Etherium worth anything? What is one unit of Etherium? The technology being used (blockchain and smart contracts) doesn't care about quantities of Etherium at all. And it is fiat (more can always be created). I don't get it. Can someone explain?
I'd also like to know
Me three!
Explain first how fiat is worth something.
Buy and hold thread. Here we discuss slower crypto trading rather than riding waves and catching trains. I'm interested in coins that have good fundamentals and have real potential to "moon" over a slightly longer term. On my radar:

>300% increase

>my sides
I know there are concerned gold/silver holders on this board. Things I'm hearing is that long term moving averages on gold seem to be starting to bottom out (indicating upward pressure in the near future). Silver should follow too.
I just took out an $11k loan at 6.9% APR for the explicit purpose of buying ETH in the next few days once it clears my bank.
Am I crazy? It's only 2 points higher than my mortgage and I have the reserve funds to cover the loan if need be.

>>2253018
i have an unopened limited edition litecoin nano s i'll sell you
>>2253029
How much?
The only coins that matter in the current state of crypto:
BTC, ETH, DBG, XRP
The only coin that matters in the upcomming ICO flood:
Bancor
Not shit tier but will make you some money. These coins twill net you 4x your money in a year (unlike 10-100x like the actually useful coins):
GNT, SC
Strat and Waves will die when Bancor takes market lead.
Remember, for a coin to be god tier it must-
1) Be useful as a CURRENCY to BUY shit with
2) Have a MARKET and MARKETING STRATEGY (which DBG really slammed out of the ball park this year, and I'm talking about legitimate marketing sectors, not talking about the retarded hentai girl memes)
3) Be worth trading FIAT MONEY for
4) Be difficult to overthrow (for example, waves will immediately die after Bancor, and Strat will follow. NEM will prove itself useless very soon as well)
Not even a shill, just don't want you autistic retarded NEETS to lose all your money. Good luck.
>>2252913
>BTC, ETH, DBG, XRP
And XEM too, getting traction among gooks
>>2252941
No, not NEM/XEM. It'll die with LTC. Cash that shit out now while you can.
>>2252913
Genuine question: Many say that the scalability issues are a huge issue for bitcoin, so it cannot be used as your everyday payment system - and NEM/XEM is basically BTC without these issues. What is the counterargument?
Someone give me a quick rundown on Bancor
Is it worth investing in at the ICO? I'm considering dropping $5k into it.
