{quote} Verge begged the community for money to bribe pornhub.
Shortly after suffering a successful hack (someone was able to mine 1 second blocks for hours) on the network and apparently being proved not private.
But it's all irrelevant.
Begging is OK. No big deal - see the UK government deal with Northen Ireland MPs???? 2 billion bucks "bribe "
official!!!It was not a hack! Noone lost a cent. Date was 4th April...
And it was the silly news blabberists screaming bu-bu-laaa
But price went from 6 cent to 5
to 11
in next days...
So where's the problem???
I hold tons of Verge, and will hold

{quote} Yes i see your points. But it's all irrelevant.
First: Everyone lost money - 1 million dollars of Verge was created devaluing what you had. The main victims were the miners I would imagine.
Second: The security of the network was broken - this WAS indeed a hack.
Having your networks security and code come into question isn't being a blabberist, especially after being told by Verge admin that in almost these words "There is no problem - there is nothing to fix" They are incompetent - simply a bunch of guys who decided to make a coin and got it hyped by McAfee (whcih they probably paid for) and now are in a position they can't handle. Some mining pools have even dropped them due to dev attitude.
Price is back down to 6 btw. Asking for money so that you can announce a partnership is very dodgy. Bitconnect was in the top ten Cryptocurrencies, Vergeconnect isn't even close yet - the price in this market means nothing.
The only questions that a sensible investor needs to ask is: Is there a reason to hold this coin? Or are there better ones out there with more potential?
Want to hold? That's fine. I think you'll be sorry in 6 months, but who knows they might get their act together. This isn't a football team, we don't have to stick with it just because.

Yes, you're partly right. Yes it's worrisome.
Many more people will find you informative
Few points...
Sorry if I'm brisk.
no time.It wasn't a hack!! Were someone's Verge stolen?? Nope.
Some forking... some weakness... So???
Did you know Monero...everybody else had issues!!! so??
Noone lost money
Price is Up Up Yes, some lost Electricity!!!!
Boom - back in play.
The coins created - 3-4 million are 0.39% of total. Practically nothing.
Ethereum folks lost 60 million $$$.
So???Bernie Madoff stole 2-3 billion
So??? Dollar crashing?? And yes it's bit of a risk.
As always - guys, diversify!!!!

The Bitcoin block mining reward halves every 210,000 blocks, the reward will decrease from 12.5 to 6.25 coins.
(I personally think 25 March 2020.)
Can you imagine what the price will be then??
120000 to 1 million greenbacks is my bet.
Now I'm going to buy little Dollar strong but in a day all crypto will rise.

Anyway why have they done so many hard forks on BTC?

{quote} What do you predict for Bitcoin Gold?
ATM it's 6x cheaper than it costed at it's peak - amount is same as of normal bitcoin - could price get to say 10% of original bitcoin price?
Anyway why have they done so many hard forks on BTC?
Only 5-6. Easy to implement, popular name, development is free.
But if you count old coins...they are 1000 bitcoin clones - almost all are bitcoin code based.
Price - not as high as bitcoin... but where bitcoin goes 100% up BTG, BCD, BTX can go 200%. Why?? cheap!!!
They were 80, 5 and 8 dollars i think. No problem to go few hundred bucks.
See Monero??
It's pulling XDN, BCN, Aeon with it. And they are cheap!!!
Bought me few

{quote} I have everything
LINK, Cardano and Mobius are my biggest ones. I'm really focused on Oracles because once LINK's Oracles are live and working on different platforms it's the "singularity" when Crypto actually becomes useful for businesses - Mobius has Oracles too, which is why I bought into that. ADA is a 3rd gen platform and is planned out 10x better than everything else.
Also I have LIF, Wabi, RST in smaller amounts and I'll probably add NCT this weekend if I can get it under half ICO, and maybe AIR if I can get it under 1 cent. If not, I'll probably buy more of the ones I have that got hit worse by the crash.

Bought some BTG today. Skipped Verge - if it was compromised somehow I'd rather to avoid. I keep looking at DGB and looks like it had good gains recently, I am stil recovering but am happy with price rise.
I have so far - small amounts, just about 1k of GBP in it, but I invest only money I can afford to lose
XRP - still see hope in it, somehow it holds high on rankings
DGB - weird coin, with good prospects but looks like competition is huge and DGB don't have enough marketing, fell down with price nearly 90% comparing tops of price from Dec/Jan and lows of March/April
ETH - very stable, not much gains compared to others, but also after the January fall downs it hasn't drop that much in price
LTC - looks like good coin, like ETH small gains, but small drops in price comparing to others
BTG - I just see huge gap in price between it's tops in Dec and now, so hope the price will at least come back to it's previous peak
Kucoin Shares - I honestly have no idea why I bought it ;-) Was pretty expensive, now it's pretty cheap, and no real use I guess outside of KuCoin web page

Hi, Is the bitcoin.com wallet for IOS fairly secure? OK to store some BTC coins on there for long term? What’s the real risk of storing them on a phone app ... their site for hacking safety? Is this correct?
Hmm.
Good question.
I wouldn't store much coins on any website. Exchanges yes, because i trade...
Beware who keeps your private keys. Some lying websites clame YOU HAVE CONTROL BLABLA
but they keep them....and can disappear 
.The risk of storing them on phone is if someone knows you're rich and gets to "persuade you" to give him all
coins.
Lost phone little risk but leads to previous!!!!
