Hey everyone!
As some of you know I've been into cryptocurrencies since early 2013. I don't just say that I've been that, I know there are many out there that go around telling people they've been into crypto's and blockchain since 20XX. I also have proof to back that up and have done so in some posts in the past like this one where I went back to an old BTC mining pool from 2013 and picked up some coins that were waiting there for me. Can't believe I was mining BTC with a laptop GPU back then, and it wasn't even an AMD one.
Anyway, the point with these posts will be to talk about major news that I gather from some good sources and are mostly in good time to get in with small investments. The saying to "never invest more than you can afford to lose" is always important cause in these markets you can never know what happens. Luckily for you though these risks mean often that the rewards are much higher, especially if you hold long enough, then even small investments can bring back huge returns like it has happened time after time again.
In Alt-News #5 I was talking about the rebranding of Antshares to NEO and the big meeting they had. The coin was trading for roughly $5 a piece at the time and is now hovering above $22. The other currency I also talked about in the same post was TenX which is a Singaporean start-up that's focusing on creating a debit card for cryptos and at the time of writing that it was trading at around $0,70 on the free market where anyone could purchase a stake of it and is now hovering above $2.
Of course not all coins I talk about have seen a rise, there are always different factors involved and that's why you should always be careful when investing. This post is not made to brag but to assure you that the currencies I talk about in these posts are serious ones that have the potential to become really big through real world adoption. IOTA also doubled in price since I talked about it in one of these posts, Sia coin has not moved much though, yet.

Having been around and following the crypto markets for so long you start seeing patterns and realize that many of these currencies that have a certain scarcity and potential do go through similar phases in the charts, most of the time as long as the potential is still there and development is ongoing they have a good chance of growing in volume and value. This might be a lot because of the open-source nature of currencies and much like investors in them, the early ones have an advantage over others in that specific field. Since they can be upgraded and developed over time they keep getting better and better and the main reason many of these increase so much is cause they all have something in common with each other.
They use the block-chain technology which can compete against any services we use and are familiar with today.
Even though most of it is speculation many are willing to bet their value that some of these will become the next big ones to outdo the middle-men rich and costly services we use today and I personally can't wait for a world where things cost less for us people to use thanks to the tech.
I haven't been able to post much lately due to some projects I'm working on on the side for the Steem network but will try to spend more time on important posts like these, especially now that I've decided to spend less of my time moderating steemit.chat. :)
Stay tuned!
Good Post.

Oh, man. I would be so freaking happy to find out I had some BTC just laying around from years ago, haha. How much was BTC back in 2013? It must have been a few hundred per coin, right?
And, it's crazy how much of a growth the NEO coin has had already as well. I didn't expect it to go up to $22 already. Anyways, thanks for the info, bud! I'll be on the lookout for your next post. Or, maybe I should actually stop being lazy and go join up on the steemit chat so I could try and talk to some new people :P

Oh, man...I really wish I would have been older back in 2013. I've gotta say, I really applaud everyone who was an early adapter of BTC and crypto in general back in 2012/2013. Except for that one guy who traded 10k BTC for 2 pizzas. I would have probably offed myself had I done that.

Hi @acidyo your post reminds me of the wonderful days when we were and could mine some BTC with our laptops. Good old days I must say and the price of BTC has increased many folds since then. I love the idea of your post. It is indeed a good ideas to spot a coin that is about to go up in value .

Hey @acidyo I have a question for you. I wrote a post yesterday asking this question but I'm new and don't get much traction so it went unanswered. I bought and used antminerS5's (4 of them) back in 2015. Do they serve any purpose at this time? Can they be used for anything that you are aware of? Bitcoin Cash?
Enjoy your posts!
Thanks

Hmm it should be possible to mine BCH with them as far as I know. It uses the same PoW algo as Bitcoin so yeah.
Is it not profitable to mine BTC with them anymore?

The S5's Hashpower of 1.16 TH/s compared to AntminerS9 @ 14 TH/s is so depressing 😂

Right! I know that is how I tend to think like all of my bitcoin I've kept and even when it's hit new highs I'm never tempted to sell because I care about holding the coins and the future use of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. I tend to forget that though about the mining aspect. Also I like the fact that they move into your possession directly with no intermiediary i.e. Coinbase. Really awesome chatting with you! Thanks a bunch!

But if you want to hold it wouldn't it be better to just buy BTC if it is cheaper? Why the effort to maintain the process and be surrounded by fan noice?

@napkin I have a brick and mortar game/comic store with a place to have them running where they don't disturb people. Also have commercial power rates. It's also a tax write off because it's on "display" in our game room. And there is the fact that when I mine I collect the coins "anonymously" unlike using coinbase. Plus it's actually a lot of fun 😊 Gets new people every day who come in the store talking about bitcoin and crytocurrencies 👍🏻 Here's a pic:

I was definitely eyeballing TENX back when it was about $0.60. I had a feeling it was going to go up to about $2.50 by December and it looks like it's easily well on its way to surpass that now. As for NEO...... I wish I had gotten in earlier. Now it's probably too late unless it comes back down significantly.

Hello @acidyo, thank you for sharing your thoughts on all these alt coins. I am in agreement with you on the part that early starters do gain a head start over others. But that also comes with a price, i.e.the risk is at the highest. The crypto can become the next big thing with 5000% increase in its value, or it can also loose its initial hype and steam and loose its value by 99.99%.. I believe in carrying out my homework before investing in any of these currencies as it's my hard earned money and it's my responsibility to safeguard it. Peace..!!

NEO totally took me by surprise, kind of feel I missed the boat on that one so staying away from it for now.
One thing I like about the crypto world is just how many amazing opportunities are out there. All you have to do is be patient, be vigilant, and let the opportunities fall into your lap. Thinking about that helps keep the FOMO at bay whenever I see something like NEO and think "man, if only I'd chucked a thousand bucks into that a few weeks ago..."
Now that I know about these Alt-News posts of yours, I'll make an effort to keep up with them as part of my "being vigilant" exercise. Thanks for keeping us informed!

Yea, I agree. Total suprise. Even did some research on antshares after the ICO. Bought at $0.25 and sold all of my Antshares at $0.50 thinking, "sure made a killing on this".

Oh man, if only you'd held... it's always tough to know when to sell, I've done that a lot too. The old trader saying "nobody ever went broke taking profits" applies here, but so hard to know whether it's going to keep on going or crash back down. These days I always sell a big chunk whenever something doubles, but I keep some leftover too just in case.

@junaidfarooq Thank you , it's so nice to hear about your own travels to Turkey, with so many mutual experiences, it's a sign that Turkey truly is a mecca for travellers and accessible to all people!
As you said, I do love the mix of European and Asian culture, and it's also the reason why I decided to stay near the old town next to the Hagia Sophia, I seem to remember however that it is located on the West side of the Bosphorous and therefore is the European side and not Asian side. Do correct me if i'm wrong though!
