Now consider ccex benefit of using this blockchain technology in your travel payments. The blockchain technology eliminates the need for bitcointalk currency exchanges and the charges are no longer dependent on whether you are bitcointalk to be charged in dollars ccex pounds — ccex it is a currency in itself. Please please please do write the twitter on crypto trading. This is how you twitter rich. I read twitter tweets — astonishing, how they straight out scam people. What is on your opinion bitcointalk XPR ripple? And you have to devote most of your time to living and breathing crypto to develope the instincts for feeling what may take off.
Tc And Happy Gems sale All of you! BenK August 25, Gor January 5, There are a number of others that have the same sort of price explosion of thousands of percentage increases in just a year, or in some case 6 months:. But low market cap is not enough — the coin has to have some hype behind it, a good idea, potentially a working project, the ability to gain real world partnerships that build hype and increase value of the coin , and the ability to hit a good exchange binance, bittrex, bitfinex, etc. DCEBrief delivers objective, and informative news in condensed format needed by busy executives, business owners, regulators, and other decision-makers. Ben, I have read your article a few times.
However, I would not keep all my assets in tron. On another note, what bitcointalk you think about the coin you mentioned but not bitcointalk exchanges yet that will run with the trifecto ecosystem? COM — my favorite. Every ccex we travel or exchange our money to that of our host country, we lose a lot of its value due to the exchange rates. So keep this in mind. Positioning yourself twitter here by twitter in ccex blockchain projects that are trying to solve this could make you rich in time as these blockchains, if they succeed, would be essential the entire crypto space and would be valued in the billions.
For you to be able to trade a coin, you need to convert your local money to bitcoin first, then send it to an exchange so you can buy the altcoin of your choice. We want it to be user friendly so a mobile app will also be created.
F reelancing and E-Commerce will also be tackled so platforms for these will also be released next year. We believe that these are the 2 industry markets that TOA could capitalize on. Electrum, aliasing, master node and others are some of the features already being looked into by our developers as of this writing. All of the aforementioned services will have a mobile app to make sure that we can use all of the TOA services with ease. One of the questions that we encounter lately is how to make the balance in your TOA Online Wallet same with that of your Desktop Wallet.
Such is not possible because for cryptocurrencies, your Web-based Online wallet is not your Desktop wallet — they are 2 separate wallets.
If you think that why is my email on the phone in-synced with my email via the web browser? It is not like your Bank records where one company your bank holds your record so every branch you go they know who you are. Doing such defeats the purpose of decentralized technology of blockchain. In cryptocurrency, in order for you to be able to transfer coins, you need to know the destination wallet address. Copy your TOA Address. For this to get fixed, your Desktop Wallet should be in sync.
Label field is not mandatory to fill. After settling into the rooms, the team had a 2-hour review of concept and procedures in preparation for the Expo that evening. He spoke about the need to latch on to the new Blockchain Technology.
He highlighted the fact that so many Filipinos are still unaware about Cryptocurrency and the need to educate the country of its benefits and uses.
The second speaker Rand Bentson, a former US Army sharpshooter instructor, talked about the evolution of money. And why Cryptocurrency needs to be embraced by this generation and the next. The final speaker was Phil Dalo, a very young and energetic president of Daxo International event organizer who shared about his cryptocurrency journey. He said he loves anything crypto — and was pleased to see 2 Filipino Crypto coins who sponsored the event.
It was the first CryptoExpo in the country — and we are very sure that there will be more in the coming months. Pesobit which had an ICO last August was launched at a price of 0. It steadied at around 0. On the other hand, TOA is a new promising coin which was added in exchanges more than a month ago and has been a heavily traded coin on all 3 exchanges CCex, Cryptopia and NovaExchange. The merger will be a 1: The projects of both coins will be combined which will include the following: The Hub Cafe will be spread out in major cities in several countries.
It will be a traditional yet exquisitely modern, coffee shop which will accept TOA as mode of payment. Electrum Wallet — Some of you probably have used an Electrum wallet from Bitcoin before.
This is a lightweight wallet which allows one to just simply run the wallet and it will work right away, without the need to download the blocks to get synced. But this allows you to be able to send and receive coins upon connecting. A separate mobile app will be important to provide a mobile solution to our future projects.
There will be more projects slated with the merging of Pesobit and TOA, some of which would be for Freelancing and E-commerce. TOA is an 8. The kept coins are located at: TOA just got incorporated in Malaysia and is also in the process of incorporation in the Philippines. TOA participated in the Bangkok Cryptocurrency Expo last month to establish partnerships with International users and will join another expo before the year ends.
This is to make sure that TOA will be well known in as many countries as possible. How and When will the Swap be? I already requested for Pesobit to be stopped trading in CCex.

You are better off holding Litecoin for that which tends to be more stable than bitcoin yet has a good chance of some big market share increases over the next year.
Whilst doing this, I recalled this post and had a thought:. Liquid cash is an issue for me but its not for you. Obviously the majority of these would be worthless. But from what I have seen, some cryptos have increased x and even x in value. So whilst the potential to lose 10K is there, the possibility of making significant gains is also possible. I see there is a question. Note I got your other email via contact form.
You can go long long term — a year or more , mid months , short weeks , very short day trading — per hour or days. You certainly can take a scattershot approach and put SOME money into some long shot bets. If you as you say put dollars into cryptos, some of those will certainly pay off. Not all of the will though, so you are hedging your bets that a portion of those may really explode.
If you were to say find the next NEO, dollars would yield you thousands and more than pay off the entire investment. However, these are LONG shots. There are over a thousand coins out there, so even picking may not yeild any real fruit. Keep in mind that you are distributing the 10, between coins. Many of those will be failures. You are hoping that say your 10, will yield you with a few lucky breaks a few coins that will have such a return that that dollars will earn more than 10, or a chunk of it.
However, if you take that 10, though and put it into a coin that is on tract to go up 2x,3x,5x, 10x, or x, you will earn FAR more. Putting 10, into a coin that over 1 year goes 10x, will likely make you a lot more money than putting 10, into coins at dollars per coin. Now, you can take the scattershot approach, but a bit more focused. Rather than distribute that 10, into say coins, I would put that 10, into 2 or 3 coins, or even 1 coin, IF the metrics add up.
A coin that say has a 5 million dollar market cap has a LOT more room to grow and go many times higher 2x,3x,10x,x, x etc than a coin that has a current 5 billion dollar market cap. This is less likely to happen than say a newer coin going from 5 million market cap to million market cap, which would be 20x return. The best way to pick a coin with a lot of room to grow is to get a BRAND new coin — one that just came out of the ICO initial coin offering and hit the market.
OR even better, a coin you get in an ICO. This means the coin is about as cheap as you will ever get it, so there is a lot of room for growth. And if you are lucky, the coin could do 4x,10x,x, or something more.
You could earn far more than just putting this into coins that are on the market. I would bet big and try to take advantage of the red hot crypto market which could change over the next few months for the worse right now.
I may write a proper guide on how to make ludicrous money with crypto and give a few strategies that work for me. Thanks for such a solid response Ben, that definitely helped me to gain a better perspective about picking cryptos. Please please please do write the guide on crypto trading. I have already learnt SO much from you, but I know there is a ton more to learn about this new and exciting area. Another question I had. Any particular reason for this? Do you only use Bittrex then, or any other exchanges as well?
Poloniex has the worst support in the world. People have and still waited weeks to months to get a response to their tickets. I feel Poloniex is probably on the verge of insolvency and stealing from their customers to make bets. Keeping money there is at risk of the exchange going down or the people behind it who are anonymous doing a runner.
Many Chinese people lost their shirts with fake coins and straight out complete scams. There was need of ICO regulation. The whole slump only happened for 2 days. Chinese coins have not yet fully recovered as I write this, NEO came back to about 30 bucks.
However, a better deal in my opinion is OMG. I made hundreds of thousands of dollars on that investment. If you want to make filthy money in years, put as much money as you can and steal or rob for the rest: Ok, I have taken a loan out against my house, put myself up for sale on eBay..
Kyber is the hot one, but you have not chance at getting into the ICO. You would have had to sign up for the whitelist weeks ago to even participate. The ICO only goes to the whitelisted members, first with a set cap of ETH each person for the first day, then the tiny remainder in a free for all uncapped grap of which only the whitlisted members can participate. Enigma had a lot of hype I was doing this in a presale , but they kind of fucked their community over by raising their market cap a few days before the ICO.
A lot of hate. I was going to bail on it anyways or sell the presale to someone else, so no loss. YOU can sign up for the whitelist now to get a spot for sure and get your coins. Unikoin Gold — think this will do well, especially over the longer term. Esports betting and backed by celebrity hype.
Not sure if there is a whitelist. Wanchain — big, think ripple of china. ICO was delayed till next month due to the china thing though. Maybe a whitelist, wiating on this.
White list registrations closed down already though. Chainlink — a big one that was also delayed. Think this is going to be big. Might be able to sign up for a whitelist, though you may be too late. Hey Ben, thanks for this valuable info. What about the kin token, do you have any thoughts on that? I prefer token supply between 7 million which is small but it means the price per coin can shoot up fast as lower supply means a higher token price and million. Kin has something crazy though for the supply of coins.
You can still make money of course regardless of supply market cap is the most important with the smaller market cap coming out of the ICO meaning the more room you have to do some multipliers , but most of the best returns seem to be between 10 to million supply tokens.
The market right now is a bit in turmoil due to a steady stream of bad news from China which has made things swing up and down mostly down. I think you may be able to sign up for whitelists maybe for these. If Centra can get good videos of real users using the cards before the ICO and release some solid hype-building info, it may do well right out of the gate. When one of them does well like OMG or Tenx or MOnaco , it makes investors eager to look for something similar that may also do the same.
So I can see a lot of investors jumping into Centra, especially if the card is released in the USA as promised and videos get out from users. So the market is still open for a better competitor to come out with a bang and steal the market. Sorry, I had one more question. When you buy altcoins, do you store them on the exchange or move them to cold storage? From what I have read, I can see that you can store Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and a few others on cold storage devices. But what about other altcoins?
I can see that you hold more than half a million dollars worth of BQX. Do you just leave that on Bittrex? Gox and other exchanges encountered? Buy a Nano Ledger S. You can store Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ethereum-based tokens which is now, most of the coins out there on it. A hardware wallet is a MUST and the safest way to hold your coins. Hey Ben, I am new to this wallet thing.
If I have money on exchanges, does it charge fee to move it to my cold storage? Also, how does Binance exchange, Nano S and my etherwallet work together? Also, I hear that Nano S only support 5 coins. Only the fee for sending the crypto ammount which is what you would pay anyways.
Not MEW or anyone else. If your key is compromised, so is your wallet. The keys are in the open though and completely relient on you storing them and protecting them. You can lose them, have a virus steal them, log into a bad website and get malware that can then steal your key, get tricked by fake MEW websites into puttin in your key, etc.
The ledger has your private keys stored on the device, secured on the device. So your key is safe. The nano itself has wallet apps that store non-eth tokens like ripple, stratis, dash, ltc, btc.
But if you want to store ethereum tokens, you have to use the MEW and the ledger. Hello, first i want to thank you for your time telling us this information to us! Maybe you can help me and also other people by sharing easiest way to earn atleast dollars a month. Because i tried a lot of things and faild every one of them by far… and i just need to believe in online money making first to make some big figures that you are tallking about.
I think a lot of people is feeling this way. So maybe some quick tips? Thank you, we love you! Thanks for the comment. Hey Ben, its been a couple months since I read and commented on this article.
Have you been able to make any more millions? Wow, what a fantastic article. You give so much value.
The best part is that you are so specific. No general fluff talk, no you name the coins that you are investing and why they are a good investment. I would really like if you continue to write about cryptos. Please continue writing about cryptos and teach us how we can select a winning coin. If we could create a checklist for investing in cryptos, that would be fantastic. Criteria Assessment Team is it famous, etc.
Another interesing point is where to get the ideas for upcoming ICOs. Where did you find your next ideas for investing? Once again, thanks a lot for the fanatic article.
This is inspiring and educational at the same time. This is the kind of article that I love the most. I had a question — I want to buy Cryptocurrency and keep it for one or two years —? Which are you proposing for profit? Almost all of them are pie-in-the-sky fantasy dreams with no hope of actually working. I do suspect that once the market fervor settles down and people begin to realize that most of the so called projects that have raised ridiculous millions with nothing tangible produced, there will be a significant correction.
Currently, bitcoin does something like under 5 transactions per second. Etherum does between 10 to 15 transactions per second. Any significant load on the system pretty much collapses the speed. Any real world use of a blockchain would require thousands of transactions per second.
There is NO WAY any blockchain solution can be used in the real world by real users without a blockchain platform increasing transaction speeds by an order of magnitude.
There are proposed solutions. Ethereum is going to implement Plasma or Sharding to scale transactions, but this is between 3 to 5 years away. There are other tech such as Raiden which are opting to use side chains bring transactions off the blockchain but use the blockchain to verify the transactions. However, one blockchain has already, in part, solved the scalability problem by implementing Sharding years ahead of any other chain.
This is Zilliqa Zilliqa. Another problem with blockchain is there are so many of them and the values of each are sealed on little blockchain islands, unable to communicate with each other. This is like how it was before the internet when there were just clusters of private networks unable to communicate. The next generation of blockchain 3rd gen is interoperability — the internet of blockchains.
That is a blockchain that functions as a protocal that allows all blockchains to talk to each other. Think of this — you can send a bitcoin transaction which will then talk to ethereum which will then talk to neo, and so on.
Value and information can transfer between chains. There are a few projects dealing with this, but we are 2 years away: So back to your question — for the long term, you need a crypto that looks to be solving something REAL, not some stupid promise or ERC20 tolken that has no purpose.
Please remember that pigs get rich and hogs get slaughtered. Please take some profits and diversify into precious metals and income-producing real estate. Having all of your eggs in one basket is a recipe for disaster. Hi Ben , Thank you for sharing this. I would like to ask a different and more realistic question. As we know in every market in order for sellers to exist there must also exist buyers and vice versa. Will I be able to convert my crypto into dollars without any restriction or problem?
Will there always be a buyer for my cryptos? Or If I was left behind, there would be no way no convert them, so I should just stick with them and take me wherever it wants to? What your thoughts would be and what your next move would be? I would love to read your thoughts. I hope my point was clear. Of course you are hoping Tether, which is backed by Bitfinex, does not evaporate. However, this means you need to likely verify your account with the exchanges to prove your identity and show you are not doing anything shady.
These days, it can be rigorous. You will have to show your passport, a selfie holding your ID, utility bills showing your address. And in some cases especially if you are using an exchange to buy bitcoin with money you transfer via wire from your bank , you may need to explain WHERE your money comes from and show prove of it via paystubs, tax statements, etc. In terms of cryptos failing — anything is possible.
However, it could crash down in value quite a bit, depending. They been working in silence and growing well with no marketing at all.
I feel like this could be a x — x ROI for the next years. Cryptocurrencies are so interesting… Thanks for this article. How would you invest if you were a college student and had less than 1k to invest with? The most optimal way to capitalise fast with such small budget to reinvest after? Thanks and I wish you all the best for Your best bet with a low sum is to look at an ALT coin that is likely to give a good multiple. This is a great return, but you can get exponentially better returns putting it into a crypto that goes 10x,20x,30x,50x,x, etc.
This can give you staggeringly good returns as you get the coin the cheapest price. Ben, what do you think about IOTA coin? Would it be worth to invest in your opinion? I think I will write some articles about how to guide your investment strategy. I believe you should invest based on technology themes. That is, you want to choose a crypto early on that is doing something disruptive in the crypto space. These are usually blockchain platforms or protocals. IOTA is one such tech that aims to provide an alternative to blockchain.
I personally love investing in 2. I need to write some articles to talk about this. But blockchain has some fundamental problems right now that MUST be solved before blockchain can actually be used for real world applications in the mainstream.
They could never handle the transactions per second that any real-world application with more than a few thousand people would require. There are some interesting cryptocurrencies that are trying to solve the scalability problem. The crypto that solves this first could become a huge player in the space. Ethereum and Bitcoin are trying to but they are years away likely. That is before there was a protocol that allowed small networks and clusters of computers scattered across the world usually at universities to communicate.
Positioning yourself early here by investing in new blockchain projects that are trying to solve this could make you rich in time as these blockchains, if they succeed, would be essential the entire crypto space and would be valued in the billions. This is vital and we need a solution. I would classify this as a 4 on my little list.
They are years away from doing anything practical yet, to be honest, but the hype here is real with this coin. I myself have something like 12, IOTA coins right now. Came across your article and all the comments and replies. Truly invaluable and going to read this more than once. This to me looks good and could be worth a good amount if getting them cheap enough at this moment about.
Electroneum — there is no real use for this coin. Can you make some money on it based on the crypto mania and stupid money pouring in?
So no, I would never invest in this. Put into real projects that solve or attempt to solve real problems. I personally only invest into blockchains, either as infrastructures platform blockchains that run applications or protocols.
Hey i had a question about cashing out your profits. If you were to do so what would be your preferred method? Depositing anything over 10k will raise red flags and any recurring deposits into your bank account will be seen as structuring.
Is there a way you can sustain your wealth in fiat so you can use it in practical everyday life without giving half of it away to the IRS or are you just planning on keeping the crypto and hoping it becomes a currency to be applied to purchases in everyday life? I keep all crypto at this point. Or you can use localbitcoins. Or you can set up a proper offshore structure by incorporating in a no capital gains tax country such as Hong Kong or Belize and setting an offshore account in one of these countries.
You may even want to consider moving to live in one of these countries to free yourself from having to pay any personal taxes. See my How to Pay No Tax article for more info. Sounds like they have almost solved Etherium scalability issues and this is going to be big.
Raiden is a promising project that promises to solve the transaction speed problem with Ethereum. However there ae a lot of whales that control the coin right now and tend to dump it. The project is also years away from actually implementing their platform, so this one is a long hold. The project is already x ICO price, but I expect it could go 3 to 10x more than it is, in time.
I know you are not offering advice but I would love to know if you are willing to share knowing I am doing my own due diligence before I invest in anything. There are a number of ICO shillers on youtube who love to pump and dump to their flock. There are various facebook groups, slacks groups, and websites. Consort with some of these and filter your picks or come up with an investment strategy and choose based off this.
I recently made a few million on ICON, for example. I also believe you are responsible to do your own research and figure out the winners on your own merit and not rely on other people to hand it out to you and in crypto, you can bet these people are usually not being honest. Cardano is a very good coin, one that seeks to dethrone Ethereum in time. However, Cardano, hype aside Korea pumped the shit out of it from mill to 12 billion market cap , Cardano is years away from delivering much of anything.
Can it pump higher based on this? If they do what they promise, it could really be a rival to ethereum. But you are looking at a long term hold. This is going to be massive over I can see it reaching 15 to 50 billion by the end of , making a go for the top 5 spot. Ben, Thx for your reply. I want people to do their own work here not get handed out easy win picks. You need to struggle a bit here.
Sit on it for 6 months to 1 year. It is destined to be a top 5 coin within 12 months and I predict the market cap will be anywhere between 20 to billion by the end of This will be hitting exchanges in 2 weeks, but sell your house and get your buy orders in and hope you can get it cheap at x ETH ICO price.
Huge returns here with a working platform already that solves one of the biggest problems with blockchain and ethereum by offering a scaling solution right now. I expect this to be a top 20 coin very soon after coming out. Get in early as soon as it hit the exchanges.
These are some very very good picks to buy and hold for 6 month to a year. Short of a complete market collapse within that period of time, you do very well buying huge amounts of these and holding. You got the percentage wrong. Really good article BTW, great read for someone starting out. Happy holidays and new year, hope to see more like this.
Ben, what websites do you get you news or research about cyptocurrencies?.. I am asking because I am amazed about how you know what the coins are used for. If you want to be successful with Crypto, you need to live it and breathe it. Just randomly tossing your money into a coin especially a low cap coin or even worse, an ICO is a recipe for disaster. For example, Blockchain Platforms always give out far better returns than do the hord of dApp coins, most of which are years away from being realized in the marketplace.
Because these are the foundation on which dApps can be built and the infrastructure projects are still in flux and being created to support workable dApps. People are betting big on the winning blockchains that will emerge over the next 5 years — and to the winner will go all the spoils of marketcap. A recent example was ICON.
I knew from connections and research that this would be a huge hit, months ago and I positioned myself in a presale with a fairly big buy at that time. And that single move has made me at least 3 million USD, and likely to be worth 10 mill to 30 million over the next 3 months to 6 months. Then you become wealthy. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the information and advice!
You mention doing due diligence which I want to do and I was just wondering what specifically will tell you when a coin is or is not a blockchain or protocol not sure what that is exactly.
Do they tell you outright or is there some special sign? Thanks again, Happy Holidays! You have to read the whitepaper and find out what the coin is about.
I saved about thousand over the last 10 years and I think it is promising too. This is most of my savings so I just was wondering how sure you are about this coin. Thank you so much.
I also hold over 3 million USD of it so I will be biased here. As cryptocurrenciess go, there are few stronger and with more potentential than ICON right now. Their mainnet goes live end of January which will explode the price up. It will be a divine mandate to buy their own cryptocurrency. And they have a slew of announcements and big partnerships coming up, likely to go public right around the mainnet launch end of jan.
I can easily see the price hitting USD over the next couple months and by end of Thank you so much for your input Ben. But I read everythingl including each one of the questions and your responses.. I really appreciate people like you taking the time and dedicating yourself to well thought out thourough answers..
Im already heavily invest with great returns not quite at your level — YET! Do you discard coins that are on extremely weird exhcanges? These kinds of things if any.. From this I can go one and find my own future winners.. Glad you like the content. These questions have to be answered with a proper post, not in the comment section. You want to look at similar cryptos already out to see what market cap those are.
Beyond this, you then need to get a feel for the hype behind the coin. If you get a coin early enough, the community and hype may just be building. More risk, but more reward. I believe in finding the potential big hype coins way early before anyone talks about them. You want to be on the train early, not running to catch up after it leaves, which describes most new crypto investors.
You also need to look at the market trends and crypto in general and make your investment into cryptos based on how you think things will be going you can read trends by looking to see what specific kinds of coins have been rocketing the past few months, for example. You also need to look at blockchain tech itself and see what fundemental problems that need to be solved before it can be a useful in the main stream world, then place your long term bets on the best coins that attempt to solve these problems because they MUST be solved for mainstream adoption of blockchain tech.
And you have to devote most of your time to living and breathing crypto to develope the instincts for feeling what may take off. A sort of second sense you can follow that turns out right more than it is wrong.
I need to write a full article on some of this stuff as I keep getting these questions. Love reading your posts. Very helpful and informative. What is on your opinion on XPR ripple? I have some of those, I bought at 19 cents.
The founders also own like 60 percent of all the tokens. Having said that, it probably will hit 4 to 10 dollars by the end of this year. What website or resouces you recommend to use to research what ICOs to invest?
Any suggestions on what could be potentially good ICOs that is worth looking into? You can either become a millionaire or lose everything. And likely, both may happen if you do enough of them.
