Is the only value to most at coins just speculative? It doesn't seem you can really use them for anything other than pump and dump them. Sure some places take bitcoins instead of USD, but the only place I ever saw doing that was a computer repair shop.
What are the useful for?
>>2046976
Crypto coins are perfect for online tipping. Imagine how you can just in one click tip any poster you like. Just as a way to say "thanks". Unfortunately, this is not implemented yet, but the potential is huge.
>>2047014
What makes them better for tipping over USDs?
>>2047025
Because using real money online is a pain in the ass. People are always cautious when it come to using things like banking cards.
Crypto coins, on the other hand, are easy and careless
What does it mean to short something?
For instance, the phrase:
>'shorting treasury bond future to hedge against interest rate risk'.
I haven't a clue what that means
>>2046943
short: selling cuz u think its guna crash
long: buying cuz u think its guna go up
>>2046943
futures*
shorting is borrowing stock from your broker, selling it and then buying at a lower price netting you the difference

I've bought it. 1.9k at 13k. I hope we will see some gains, I even made a thread about GNT too, lol
how the hell do you buy it
>>2047027
Buy bitcoins at localbitcoins and trade for GNT at bittrex or poloniex.
Do your friends know of your ambitions?

Now do you fuckers believe me when I said that ETH is supposed to dump hard right before it pumps up to new heights, as it has done LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME IT PUMPS?
ETH has some of the most predictable trading patterns in all the cryptocurrencies. If you aren't buying now, you haven't been paying attention.
>>2046846
ETH is finished dude, stop memeing
>>2046863
Not even memeing. Fucking look at all the news coming up with ETH.
ENS coming this month and next, EEA conferences in May, big developments all throughout June, and even proof of stake way down the line.
ETH does this exact same pattern every time it pumps.
But fucking morons will continue to pump Ripple and then complain when they miss the ETH boat again.
ETH is the only coin you can pretty much guarantee will make you profit in the relative short term, just buy holding. It is one of the only coins where "buy the dip!" works pretty much every single time given 20-25 days waiting max if you bought at the absolute peak. Just watch.
And read the article I posted in the OP for some ETH news that happened today (very minor though).
Bump.
Ripple shills are taking over this board. Something smells very strange about it.
I believe that for the ultimate crypto to rise, it must encompass all or nearly all benefits and edges that can possibly exist. This does not exclude the name/logo of the coin, nor does this exclude its name. This factor would make hypothetical Neo-Dogecoin and Neo-Putincoin the solidified norm of currencies. Prove me wrong (you can't).
Those are literally the memiest, cringiest, shittiest of names. Coins with best names and logos would be those like Waves or Wings or Golem
>>2046671
>Memiest
>Shittiest, cringiest
Pick one of these sets, the prevailing crypto will eventually have a humorous name.
>>2046663
All "political" coins are literally shit. They have no future.
What kind of retard still hasn't understood the importance of LTC and how its undervalued?
Facts:
-BTC is not getting segwit, it will never reach 95% miner consensus
-UASF etc are memes, they could split the blockchain and end up in disaster.
-LTC has segwit activated in 2 days
-Lightnin Network developers already moving to LTC:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxGiMu4V7ns
-BTC will continue getting slower and more expensive
-People will look for the best alternative (a bitcoin clone backed by the Core code but faster and cheaper)
-Additional improvements with segwit including Shnorr sigs, MAST, Confidential Transactions + CoinJoin + Mimblewimble (potentially killing all the other "anonymous coins" that don't scale)
Anyone not balls deep on LTC is up for a rude awakening. I already told you to buy weeks go and didn't listen. I remind you now again how cheap it is.
Forgot to mention how LTC could potentially help BTC become more valuable too with atomic cross chain transactions:

Due to an influx of nocoiners shitting up every thread with purchasing questions; I took the liberty to create a quick tutorial on how to buy cryptocurrency and altcoins, as well as configure wallets and stake.

Where do you nerds sell your coins when your done making bank. Coinbase doesn't buy btc in my country.
He snuck in a referral link and is telling you to sign up for a trash exchange, don't listen to this chump.
Note: former nocoiner here that tried the coinbase route
Their support is shit if you're not amerifat
In my specific case, expat in yurop with an unsupported passport, getting id'd was impossible and they still haven't gotten back to me on that for 4 days now
So I went with kraken.com who make the process much easier. Sending EUR to it took 1 business day which is fine by me
Pity, the coinbase app is very nice and kraken doesn't have one for Android
Lol. SolarCoin?

Obviously a bubble, someone's just swapping bucks

ETH....are you ok?
Will someone poke ETH with a stick, check if he has a pulse?
If I wake up tomorrow and I see Ripple above Ethereum, I'll blow my fucking brains out. Why the fuck is everyone SUDDENLY buying up tons of this stuff? There must be a reason. Ripple has been around for ages and yet about $5 BILLION gets pumped into it in the past 24 hours? What the fuck?
It's already time to blow your brains out!

KILL THIS MEMECOIN THAT HAS TAKEN THE NUMBER 2 SPOT
Take Boogie for example. He's either lying here, or Obamacare must be an incredible success for someone of his health status to be paying IN to the system.
>>2046469
Boogie is shitty fatass that makes a living off of Jewtube, no shit he's a liar. I have little doubt that he's a Google deployment, stop giving these shittubers attention. Anyone over ~400,000 subscribers is controlled.

We need single payer instead of the half measure we have now or even worse what we may get.

Just dislodge big pharma and suspend under complete privatization and everything would be as fine as the plastic surgery industry.
Pic related, look at it.
For all the naysayers of PosW, I understand your frustration. All the newbies who sold at a loss will regret doing so when this coin takes off with masternodes, vouchers, a shop, mobile and paper wallets, and a portfolio builder, just to name a few of this years plans.
When PosW gets added to the main exchanges, it will skyrocket in price, no doubt.
When ETH changes from POW to POS, just imagine how many who's gonna use poswallet to stake their ethereum..
Did I mention that you are getting rewarded for holding the coin as well? Monthly dividents are paid out to those who hold, those who's hold the longest will get a bigger percentage of the dividents.
So much FUD and shilling going on with this coin.. I feel sorry for those who sold at a loss... Personally, I'm buying MUCH more right now.
Don't buy the HYPE, Buy when everyone else don't want it.. be GREEDY.
- Warren Buffet
PoSW still has potential, but why not buy into XRP/XEM/GNT? They have clear futures in success, and you aren't going to be risking even more money in PoSW.
Everyone is buying POSW on the low key, lol at falling for the FUD trolls.
>>2046434
I will be making bigger gains with PosW, that's why ;)
