What are your thoughts on Verge (XVG)?

Never liked it, still don't much care for it. I allocate toward XMR for privacy. If I want to be more speculative, I'll go really deep with DeepOnion (ONION).

Another guy just claimed Bitcoin Cash is a scam: http://www.bestbitcoinexchange.net/why-bcash-is-a-scam/
But I checked their website, sounds legit to me: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

Without having read through the link you provided, I will suggest that BCH is no more a scam than most other cryptos out there. There was some speculation initially that because a large portion of the mining pool securing the BCH network was unidentified (and other large portions were Chinese entities), that it could... put on your tin foil hat here... be an effort by the Chinese government to gain control over a major piece of the crypto market. But frankly, I think it's simple capitalistic opportunism combined with impatience over scaling debates for BTC that have allowed BCH to come to prominence. I sold mine off, as I think there are other more promising blockchains that incorporate fast transaction times for their value transfer proposition, while also incorporating a layered approach for more robust computing/smart contract/dApp purposes (e.g. Cardano, NEO, EOS, ICX, et al).

Ah I see.
My brief understanding of BCH was that the developers split off from the main bitcoin technology, to go a different path, namely peer-to-peer electronic "cash" like PayPal with encryption.
Those coins u mentioned have great potential too. Im curious about coins with unique technology. I think they will "win" in the end.

I just cancelled my buy order for ripple and bought 300 wabi which I think has a much better chance than that flaky coin. Maybe I should have bought more? But then the jinx will be in effect and it would drop.

Yeah, I got rid of all the Ripple I had now that it looks like it is dropping. I bought some wabi the other day and it's already up 40% since then. May buy a little more.
Does anybody have any thoughts on QTUM? It spiked a few days ago and is back down around $50 now. Considering buying some...

Wabi is up since I bought it a little bit ago. I put in another order for the same amount. Feed your winners and starve your losers.

Since I've took out over what I put in plus 50% profit I decided to take another gamble but this time on stratis, own well over 2000 of them. I honestly feel my downfall is imminent at this point, I do believe in Stratis but investing 101 says you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, while I'm only gambling with profits at this point it'll be extremely disappointing to lose it all even though I don't think I will with this project.
Once again pretty disappointed in getting rid of over 500 ICX and either 100-200 Neblio (can't remember how many I had) considering how well they've done, didn't lose on either but barely made anything when at this point I would of made either 2x or 8x my initial investment depending on which one you're looking at.

Yeah, you will always make some bad moves since no one knows for sure. I just buy them and let them do their thing. Over trading seems like a losing proposition. I have a bunch of stratis too, bought some wabi today. Put in another order I thought but it didn't go through so now I'm just going to stay with my 300 wabi and see how they do. So far my only loser is iota and I've heard so many good things about it I will let it ride longer. The rest are up
Instead of being sad at the down turn, we should be glad because its a buying opportunity. I'm about at 97% btc and I think its a good time to buy more. Same with many of the alts. Keep buying and later get rewarded.
This is just the cooling off period. Soon money will come pouring into btc and alts both. That fork around the 18th sounds like it will happen. I'm investing more because its bargain basement time. I see others with sad faces but its actually an opportunity.
If they would just get the lighting network going, and or increase the block size then btc will go into another phase of rapid rise.

Theres some news coming out about recognition of the crypto TRON in China, and some looming partnerships. I dont know what that means but its something to keep an eye on and could be a short term opportunity

Now I'm in
Ubiq. It's the future, maybe. It is already being used.
BNB. From my understanding this is like owning stock in binance. When they make a transaction they get money and then I do. Hopefully.
Stratis. I'm going with Sirshrooms on this one. I was in it before and made some money
Lisk. Has an update/rebranding coming soon.
LTC. because nobody else wants it.
UKG. This one isn't so hot right now. I'm going to take it as a loss if it doesn't Shape up in a few days and buy more Stratis probably. It should be good for longer term because it is used for gambling. I thing the gambling coins are a good idea and have a future.

I just read up on that coin, and I can't see why anyone would think it's going to blow up. I mean, it might, but other than a weird cult thing it doesn't really seem to have anything going for it...

Right.
What I'm holding now, with no intentions of trading. I've played around with some cheaper coins, and have decided to just sit on these that are a little higher in value.
2 litecoin .28 etherum 3 lunyr 10 straits 1 NEO
I don't know a thing about any of these, cept litecoin is like Bitcoin silver and etherum has crypto kittens, the other three, lunyr, straits, and NEO, I'm in per others recommendation and know very little about.
I mean, I understand what's going on with block chain, I personally just don't see any practical uses for cryptocurrencies for myself, yet.
Maybe if had a few hundred thou worth, I could see having some sort of passive income mining or staking or something, and have a bit more financial freedom.

Right now I got 67% in Etherum and 33% in Bitcoin Cash. Im tempted to just put it all into Etherum, but I think BCC has great potential too, as its very similar to regular BTC.

Thinking about moving 1 ETH to Stratis. Do you think it will dip before it rises?
