What purpose do those currencies serve? If you had said XMR (Monero) I would understand since that's privacy-focused.

Ripple is for banks (ironically)

Iota is for internet of things which just sounds sketchy to me

Personally I think that is a pump n dump game. Just by the way they are situating themselves. No one cares about the underlying TECH, just how low can I buy it for and how high is it going to get

Maybe that’s a good thing. But if the tech is faulty l, then it WILL crash to zero

Funny enough, I wondered why Ethereum didn't hit the fukking toliet after the issues it had by being overloaded by the Cryptokitties app. Its one app that got popular and brought the network to a halt. It took me six hours to do a fukking transfer. This is a bad sign about the scalability of Ethereum and no one should be investing in it as a long term thing besides speculation at this point.

Same thing with Bitcoin. The technology is dated and slow. There are newer systems coming out, such as Iota, that will or has surpassed it. But in the case of IOTA, its still basically in beta and hasn't been shown to support real world applications yet. Bitcoin and Ethereum have and they both kind of fail.

You can't buy IOTA from the states can you?

It has good alts

The goal for them is to be the backbone of most transactions, independent of just buying things, but being the middlemen in that exchange. The Ripple network is but the coin itself is garbage to this point, I have been waiting on it to do something for awhile now

I don’t know about dates but I was definitely disappointed about the speed of transactions. Is that something that we cannot fix? Maybe just not enough nodes on the network to quickly verify transactions? Or is it a deeper problem with the algorithm getting more complex over time and stuff?

Iota is using a very esoteric technology that it appears only THEY can understand which is the biggest red flag of all to me

Ripple could grow I think at one of the coins that coinbase is strongly considering adding soon. But it’s situated in a tight spot between regulated financial sectors and decentralized banking. They have pretty much the hardest job

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Breh I keep seeing this. Can you break it down to exactly what this means ?

What the fukk is a short and why is wall street going to short it

Short is betting it'll go down

IOTA Surges Over Announcing Partnerships That Don't Exist

Thank you. I knew there was something fishy about that announcement

Like suddenly all these giant tech companies are excited to use these barely tested technologies on production level software. I just couldn’t believe it

@Malta

Spoiler

what are your thoughts on MANA?

What are market hours for bitcoin? If I sell then how long will it take to go through?
