A question to the people, better investment, 4k in crypto or engagement ring?

This is not entirely true, ripple owns majority of their coins , IMO making it centralised.
Although I do agree xrp has a lot going on and in terms of projects and deals, investment and rise in price % wise it might be best bet for short term.

Ltc has its halvening even coming up shortly and that seems to always correlate with a price rise, I’ve already seen a 20% gain this month alone.

Bitcoin has the best tech, biggest community and developers, their scalability problems they’re facing are trivial and I’m sure will be resolved in future. Lightning network, Segwit etc.
I personally feel Bitcoin is the internet of crypto and every other altcoin is just a webpage.

Time will tell, interesting few years coming up.

Ripple has 59,000,000,000 in escrow letting out a billion a month to sell otc and if not sold out back into escrow.It is not centralized as it ripple disappeared xrp would still go on and anyone could take up projects with it.Mow compared to other crypto’s it’s centralized as it’s trying to be a government crypto but in my eyes that’s good as they say follow the money.Xrp is not ripple it was created by guys that gifted them to the ripple guys.


Bitcoin is junk and outdated.It has the name and beingbfirst but it’s junk,ltc is better imo.But I own a bitcoin and believe it will be worth a lot in the next 5 years,also own ltc but majority of my investment is xrp.The ripple guys are to good at what they are doing.I don’t trust bitcoin miners and proof of work sucks.

Anyways good conversations and yes only time will tell.I love crypto and spend about 3-4 hours a day reading about it.

Yes people have been awaiting the ltc halfing for sometime now so price will keep rising.

I’m a strong believer in bitcoin,ltc,digibyte,cardano and most of all XRP.

Rob, thanks for answering all those questions and for giving me that info.

No problem,any more questions just ask.

[Wiggs]

What's Cardano about?

[robcguns]

What's Cardano about?

It’s decentralized blockchain.It runs dapps (decentralized apps)like ethereum as it’s a smart contract based system.They have a bunch of stuff in the works and I think it will be very successful.Check them out,read their white paper and I think you will like what you read.

if wanting to invest in crypto’s pick a bunch and spend a few hours reading up on all of them and go with what you really believe in.

blockchain

it should be obvious by now that bitcoin served a purpose – to introduce blockchain.

blockchain, spreading like cancer, has a function – to bind mankind to an inescapable, hellish reality of absolute control.

in due course, all 'human' activity will be mandated to the blockchain for judgment.

 The long term benefits of this technology might be this...for the first time when we look backwards in time, at history if you will. We will have cryptographic proof that the information contained is not tampered with. This is such a simple statement that I hope you all take the time to truly understand the profound impact of what it is that I am insinuating. True wisdom comes with understanding the space that you are observing, by accurately mapping a space..you gain more understanding of it. Having a map that stays consistent over time is a game changer on so many levels I have a hard time wrapping my thoughts around it.


   Of course the above begs the question.."How do we know what is put into the map is correct?"   Majority rules..consensus..all the tools that the World and democracy have will come to bare I am sure. Will there be disagreement? Of course..but strictly from a scientific perspective this is really amazing. To put these thoughts into practical application..take a experiment..what is needed is incredible accuracy. Knowing with out a doubt that all the variables are indeed congruent. What better tool to use than a blockchain? Chaining the data points insures that when and if you need to reproduce the environment you can do it with extreme precision.
 
What I am speculating on is most likely to develop on private chains not public ones like bitcoin..but who knows.

This ability to have accurate models..down to perhaps the sub-atomic level, leads me to believe that technology that has seemed like fantasy will become reality. Imagine for a moment a holographic model of yourself that is so accurate that you could digitize that information and then reassemble it at another point. I am talking teleportation alright..and if this seems a flight of fancy it is not. There is already some very intelligent people out there who theorize that we live inside a giant hologram already. People at the forefront are looking deep into the AdS/CFT correspondence and other aspects of the Holographic principle.
  Bah, I am rambling now..   Exciting times indeed.

[Zillotch]

Exciting times indeed.

there will be no technological paradise benefiting humanity this side of heaven.

the soul sucking modern marvels presently manifesting before you in this realm will ultimately result in one thing:

the subjugation and fundamental transformation of a divinely created man into an irredeemable, short lived abomination... before extermination - resulting in damnation.

A diamond ring is prob the worst investment ever besides a car.

Everyone should invest in crypto after reading a lot and deciding which to choose.Or else you will be very sorry when sitting in your car no gas with an engagement ring and no digital money because we will be Venezuela.the only money you will have is in the gold holding the useless diamond.

I absolutely agree. I think, most people are afraid of investing in cryptocurrency because of lack of knowledge. Of course, everyone needs time to gain skills and experience, but not everyone does something for this. Also it is important to check forecasts and read the cryptocurrency reviews (personally I use revain.org for this purpose as people share their own experience there) in order to be aware of the situation on crypto market.

If your country uses a hard currency, you don't have to worry about the currency collapsing. That's mainly a Third World worry.

And even for someone trying to diversify to protect against local currency depreciation, these crypto currencies are still too volatile with massive price swings as they are mainly used for speculation.

The gains you reap from the engagement ring will be short term and temporary.

[el numero uno]

100% correct.it will take over and fiat will be worthless as it is already.

This is absurd.

Makes me think you crypto guys have no clue of economics or how business operate.

Do you really think a world with a capped currency is possible? How exactly do you trade when no one will ever spend a fraction of a btc (except for food maybe), since it will continue to go up in value as the number of goods and services increases, but not the amount of circulating money? No transactions = no economic growth.

And guess what you have when money becomes more valuable, a freaking deflationary world. What do you do with all the debt? Do you honestly think people will be ok with their debts becoming impossible to pay?

Also, what do you think it will happen with the massive inequality, since the 4% of holders own 97% of bitcoins

Do you think goverments of countries with less bitcoins than the others will just hang their head in shame and wait for the worst to occur? Massive wars would take place.

You people have no clue.

Depends on her resume

Invest in SOILED THONGS!!!!

Didn’t you invest in a 3 carat ring for your wife? The same wife who fucked  your best friend and you still decided to marry her?

[mazrim]

Crypto technology is here to stay but the coins out there are mostly worthless. The engagement ring is the better investment.

I think the answer is this. Ripple technology may become something but the coin not so much.

I don't know of anyone that deals with the coins in a tangible way except for shady deals online or a small group of people basically that push the market up or down it seems like.

Huh?  Definitely wrong no dude. Lol

Find where I said that.

[Fallsview]

Goodmorrow,

Well, I guess I have to tell you how to invest. An apartment in Staten Islands St. George, South Bronx, anything in the west 30's, of course downtown Brooklyn, downtown Manhattan. What do you think is happening with all these apartments? Oversees investors are buying them up, either leaving them empty or renting them out at a high price and selling three to five years down the line and then re-investing because its such a safe investment and the returns are huge.

Hope you learned "sumthin"



STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
