Bitcoin currency of the future?

There's too many of them, it's oversaturated. I'm gonna wait till one of them is the clear winner like Betamax vs. VHS. Who knows Sherdog likes could be the future.
 
Which currencies do you guys feel really good about in terms of potential growth into 2018?

I'm thinking about putting some money in 2 of these or if you guys have any recommendations that you think might perform better:

Ethos, Power Ledger, Icon, or Cardano.

Basically which ones do you think might take off in 2018? Or if you have any other suggestions?

All 3 of those are solid picks. Put money into all of them.
 
I bought 3.5 LTC a few minutes ago at 303. Just going to sit on those with a limit sale at 355.

Just been nickel and diming it like that.
 
It's amazing to me how much influence Coinbase has now. As soon as Bitcoin Cash went on Coinbase, BTC, ETH, and LTC started dropping and Bitcoin Cash went up like nuts.

I haven't figured out if that's a good thing or not.
 
Had some money earmarked for ETH, but decided to spend it on BTC. See if that BTC rebounds then I'll sell it off and buy my ETH

Got some LTC as well but imma just sit on that for a long while. Want to use some BTC on NEO and Ripple but waiting for a physical wallet to show up (Exodus wallet doesn't hold NEO and Ripple)

I bought the Trezor hardware wallet, so pretty soon I'm going to transfer all my alt coins that are on Binance to it and just hold them long term in 2018.

I'll keep a few grand on coinbase and probably do some day trading with LTC, ETH, and BTC for now.

This is an interesting thing to do in lieu of the volatility, there's still substantial risk but I'd say you're more likely to realize your 17% gain in the short term than lose it all.

Of Course, another way to look at it is risking $1k to make $170 dollars.

Looks like DASH and ZCash getting a substantial pump, likely due to speculation they'll be next to benefit from the Coinbase surge.

It's not good, it confirms every fear you have about the "bubble".

The relationship between Bitcoins and altcoins is not healthy either.

None of these coins changed in VALUE yesterday... and yet their PRICE wildly fluctuated. Which means many investors are only in it for quick cash and speculative pump and dumps.

The Crypto community is in an uproar right now with regards to Coinbase, as it should be. When you’re the easiest (and only for most) access point to get into crypto and you know which coins you’ll be adding in the future, mitigating allegations of insider trading should be a major concern of your company. There needs to be more competition in the market place to fix some of these issues.

What sucks for Alt owners it that they now have two Bitcoin fluctuations to contend with. If you know the market you know that when Bitcoin goes up or down the Alts always trend downwards. When Bitcoin stabilizes, the Alt’s tend to go up. So if BCH grabs ahold of a large % of BTC’s market share, we could be dealing with both.

On a side note, what do you see in Cardano that you would be telling people to invest in? I know nothing of the coin, but what I do see is a coin with a huge circulating supply and a 12billion market cap. What’s the benefit of their coin, what are their roadmap goals, have they hit any of their road maps? From the small bit I’ve read about Cardano is that they don’t really have anything to show at this point. It also doesn’t look like they have much room for growth with their current Cap and Supply. POWR is a good coin though that should bring in some good gains.

Obviously the spike in DASH has people thinking Coinbase will be adding them next IMO.

The trend you mentioned for alt coins and BTC is not always true as you asserted. On quite a few occasions they have risen and fallen together.

I have a Ledger wallet, but I don't how much to put on it because I want to liquidate a substantial portion of my crypto to pocket some profit in the next few weeks. If I put it all on, then I have to transfer it back to cash out and it'll be a pain.

Looks like coinbase is investigating themselves for insider trading.

Very far from the first time they've been involved in something like this. There's all kinds of other instances where coinbase went down while coincidentally whales went stop hunting. Exchanges make an absolute killing from fees but it's nothing compared to the fraud they commit. But hey the government has spent years with their head in the sand on crypto so it's not surprising these dudes continue to get away with it

I'm half convinced that when cryptos are crashing and customers could be making mini-runs on them and then Coinbase crashes, they are preventing runs on the cryptos by saying "the servers our down". It's a good excuse to prevent runs under the guise of technical issues.
