EOS

LargeSnorlax

They'll "stay", but they won't go anywhere. Remember that projects can stay and be "good projects" without retaining any of their former value or market cap. The top 100-300 coins are littered with such projects - ALGO, FLOW, EOS, NEO, XTZ, ROSE, NANO. None of these projects are "dead", they all have development, but they'll bleed into infinity against Bitcoin until the end of time. Marrying an altcoin is just asking for disappointment. Even things like ETH and SOL won't be darlings forever, and even if they stick around long term, they'll still bleed against Bitcoin.

Bleglord

The honest answer is the useless coins that remind people who missed the peak of BTC and ETH EOS will probably moon like fuck for no reason BCASH too

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Most of them are still around, so not really. In fact, even stuff like BCH, EOS, Tron, ETC, are still inexplicably in the top 100 market caps. I wish more of them had died, but they haven't.

EOS did legalese contracts alongside code in 2018. It's one thing to have the contract, it's an entirely different thing to enforce them and prosecute based on them. Ultimately, what was found was that users didn't care about the legalese contracts, and always relied on code. In fact, in some cases the legal contracts were problematic because they could say one thing and the code could do another.

Ok_Fig705

Tron still around same with EOS.... A slow long death but 1000% are in the nursing homes Soloana is the new definitely not a scam project

izdigohkz

That's the key point. Stabilizing the network which also helps the TVL to grow over time. I see EOS TVL hit ATH and making a new one after the staking went live.

Staking is a cool passive way to get some extra funds especially when the protocol has good APY. I'm staking EOS at 20% APY. Prettu good and a win-win as EOS has good potential.

Rank your pain over the years - NEO, EOS, NANO, ONE, OMG

Ok-Western-5799

Staking is like lending your crypto to a network in exchange for rewards. Think of it as contributing to the security and operation of the blockchain. You can usually withdraw your staked coins anytime, but there might be a waiting period or a small fee. Some platforms, like EOS, offer staking with unique benefits like higher returns and lower transaction fees. It's worth exploring different options to see what suits your goals best.

MinimalGravitas

No, you misunderstood my point. If you think you're in the advantageous position in an information asymmetry then why do you get aggressive if I don't fully agree with you? I think we both have similar opinions, that the market is mispricing our preferred asset based on information about adoption that is being missed by investors due to the current memecoin mania and financial nihilism propagated by shills for projects like Solana, Sui etc. And both of us feel obliged to try and push back against some of that misinformation for the benefit of some less engaged newbies who might avoid being sucked into the latest EOS/NEO/LUNA/etc. What I don't understand is why you would start being insulting to someone who simply doesn't agree completely with your thesis. You know my reasons, I've provided countless references, we just place different values on different data. But if you are positioned to take advantage of the information asymmetry, then why do you care enough about my opinion to insult me about it? That's the bit I don't get. If you don't buy ETH, it has no impact on me. It doesn't stop me buying, and unless you are a whale big enough to move the marketcap of a $300 billion asset then you don't make any difference to the price of ETH either. So why do you care so much if I acknowledge that Chainlink is useful, but just not to the same level as you?

izdigohkz

When the break finally happens, It's going to be that huge alt seasson we have een expecting. It's just a good time to accumulate coins like METIS, EOS and INJ.

jwz9904

EOS? Try SUI

Ok-Western-5799

Definitely EOS. The progress this year has been insane. Staking is going strong with over 20% APR, the hard fork with Antelope Spring 1.0 brought major upgrades, and there's even more in the works. 2024 is shaping up to be EOS's year!

MinimalGravitas

Honestly, I think it's largely due to information asymmetry, which in turn comes from alt-L1s like Solana being better at marketing/manipulating retail, for example: - faking metrics for stablecoin transfers: https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/defi-bots-pumping-solana-stablecoin-volume/ - and onchain trading volume: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bots-pushing-solana-over-ethereum-research - and dev numbers and DeFi TVL - https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/08/04/master-of-anons-how-a-crypto-developer-faked-a-defi-ecosystem and Bitcoin maxis using censorship to ensure that investors who get interested in Bitcoin don't see any benefits of Ethereum... and I mean literally 'don't see', check out their edited version Blackrock's recent presentation on the value proposition of both assets, the laser-eyed muppets blur out almost any part of any slide that mentions Ethereum: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnZSRQjkRos&t=318s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnZSRQjkRos&t=372s This is obviously just part of the wider problem that society is facing at the moment, with whole segments of society entirely unequipped to deal with misinformation online or fact check things themselves. Compared to people being manipulated into crazy ideas about climate change being fake or whatever, then a bit of disinformation around Ethereum isn't very important. In the end reality will catch up, as it always does, and the current round of pumped alt-L1s will just joint the list of EOS/LUNA/NEO and however many other bullshitters that crypto produces. Until then, if you can see through the nonsense early then you can position yourself to take advantage of it.

Ok-Western-5799

Stay profitable by selling my profits and sticking with stables. Sometimes I take the opportunity to stake a few tokens for passive income while I await another green chart. Did that with EOS and it yielded a positive result.

Ok-Western-5799

Bitcoin will always lead the pack, followed by ETH, EOS, and $SOL. And who knows? Maybe a few meme coins will tag along for the ride

Just hold your bag. The bull run is here and alt season is upon us. DCA is the best strategy to buy the dip and keep a healthy bag. Got more METIS, EOS and INJ.

Selling everything in the bull run. Not going to hold most of the coins beyond but If I would eventually keep holding a coin, It will be EOS. The chain has been active for the past 5 years and not history of halt.

ptos seems to have real momentum right now. LINK hasn’t often followed the bull run, and it’s unfortunate that it’s currently sitting at $10. I’d suggest looking at $EOS instead, especially after the recent hard fork that has solidified it as a top-tier L1 platform. $EOS is strongly tied to its use case, and more pumpumental potential is definitely on the horizon

Ok-Western-5799

But when it come to transaction speed, you'd give it to SOL, SUI, and EOS.

Enschede2

Ah yes, I remember those early EOS days

flog_fr

73k - 66k = 7k . The answer is : it is 7k far from record highs. EOS

Ok-Western-5799

Yea, Uptober is definitely shaping up to be a strong month for alts. However you might want to expand your focus to the top 100 too, and not just stay limited to the top 20, with coins like EOS, ARB, and OP looking really promising ahead of the run. Timing it right though, and a strategy to rotate back into Bitcoin for long-term gains sounds like a solid plan.

EOS. Hold a big bag and stake for passive reward.

VoDoka

Don't think anyone can beat EOS.

mazda7281

All of them (except EOS and maybe Atom) are good tech-wise Pol is great ecosystem. Same for Ada and Pol. Neo is being developed really well (Neo X sidechain with anti-mev) So yeah, I think once bull run starts, those projects will skyrocket. 

jwz9904

ATOM/POL/ADA/DOT/NEO/EOS these were my portfolio

Pantera-BCH

Hash is a more complex subject than maximalist paint it. In the past there had been attempts to attack BCH but the honest miners increased hash rate and fended off these attacks. Yeah, you probably don't know it, miners supported and bigger blocks back in the day and still heavily support BCH, but Blockstream had them convinced/extorted to stick with a lousy 1MB and the Segwit hack. That attack on BCH was 7 years ago, the last attempt to attack BCH. Mining was always centralized. Just two pools that belong to Bitmain had more than 50% of hash and they were located in China. That's been going on for at least 10 years. Even today, just two pools still generate centralized risk reaching close to 50% hash. Furthermore, hashrate follows the price. BTC is at risk to a halt in case the price goes down faster than expected, with the 2016 block epoch and once this happens the only solution will be centralized intervention that will further deteriorate the price, meanwhile BCH adjusts difficulty with every block. Anyway, you claim there are other chains that work, which I also agreed, but most are POS so not decentralized. Others have no real communities but just act as BTC's testnet (LTC) and others are just company-backed tokens (XRP). I haven't just landed here, you are talking to someone researching cryptocurrencies for almost 8 years. I've stayed close to communities like EOS, Waves, Cardano, Ethereum for years and left disappointed and disgusted sometimes. All have issues that BCH never had or has right now resolved. To me, BCH is the Bitcoin I found when I joined in March 2017. The permissionless money system that was bypassing the financial establishment and acting for the people, not for just a small part that can afford high fees and wants to use fiat for everyday payments instead.

MinimalGravitas

> A number of chains that used to be at the top as number of developers actively working like NEO, EOS, AION, ICON Any source for the claim that those 4 used to be at the top?

Summary: - Tech has nothing to do with whether the crypto is a good investment - Number of developers has nothing to do with whether the crypto is a good investment A number of chains that used to be at the top as number of developers actively working like NEO, EOS, AION, ICON, etc are all pretty much dead today.

Ok-Western-5799

RAM is definitely one to keep an eye on. With the EOS spring fork dropping soon, the demand for RAM is about to pop off, and a 100x surge could be just around the corner as more projects start building on EOS.

Schmiegefp

In the RWA narrative, I'm replacing RIO with RAM, a RWA on EOS.

Ok-Western-5799

You’ve got a killer portfolio, a dope mix of solid alts and memes. These tokens are definitely gonna pop off. I’d throw in BNB, EOS, and FET too—those gems are rock solid and could pull some massive traction

izdigohkz

Good portfolio. If you are looking to add more alts then look at coins like EOS. You can stake it for passive income.

Ok-Western-5799

Why not buy or DCA into SOL? It's a solid token that could deliver big returns in a bull market. EOS is another great pick—its pump potential is strong and it's a token to consider for the long term

Ok-Western-5799

DePINs are slowly but surely taking center stage. One standout project is RAM, the physical memory of EOS. With rising adoption and more projects building on EOS, RAM is becoming a highly sought-after token in the ecosystem

Ok-Western-5799

EOS is worth holding for many years. The project has enter a new phase and everything about the project looks promising. SOL, BNB, and TON are other top gems I'm considering to hold the long term

Ok-Western-5799

HMU with the project, fren. EOS isn't dead... You prolly need to check the recent development happening on the L1 platform of recent. These events will definitely have a impact on its price action, no doubt. AND how can you say TON is dead, anon? Perhaps you need to be reminded of the ever rising no of projects building on TON.

Ok-Western-5799

Not too many chads would hold LINK. Even in a semi-blown bull market, LINK price action has not been impressive. I'd rather ape BNB, SOL, or EOS which has an upcoming spring fork

Ok-Western-5799

I would just say you spread your portfolio more. But that'd require more personal research on your part. For me I've got about 50% of my portfolio in BTC and ETH, while 30% goes to L1s like TON, EOS, while I've put the rest in promising narratives like AI, RWAs and even memes.

leradiyovq

Use case comes into play. while the calcalations and do a lot of it, if the token is well utilized, more people will buy and hold pit which will eventually increase the market cap. Buy tokens that are mostly used like EOS.

Bitcoin remains a solid long-term investment, but the amount you invest plays a crucial role. If you're working with a smaller budget, it might be wise to diversify into other top and blue-chip cryptocurrencies like SOL, EOS, INJ, and ARB. Also, consider DCA and stay informed about market trends to know when to take profits or implement an exit strategy. Good luck!

leradiyovq

Do you have to wait for the bull market before you start buying? In my opinion, the bear market is a good time to buy. I bought some ETH around $2,200 for a quick profit and plan to sell it soon. EOS looks great and undervalued. The ENF is gaining relevance, and solid projects are being built there, one of which is Upland, the biggest gaming project out there.

BTC is the only immaculate conception in crypto. Everything else has some degree of greed or profit. If you go through the old Bitcointalk forums, you'll see Sergey Ivancheglo posting around looking for ways to acquire more Bitcoin. He then came up with the idea of creating NXT. Then he created IOTA. You'll Dan Larimer lurking around even interacting with Satoshi. He wants Bitcoin. Then he creates Bitshares with Charles Hoskinson. Then he creates Steem. Then he creates EOS. There are tons of OG shitcoin creators there and the primary motive for their shitcoin was MONEY and getting more Bitcoin.

You might want to save up some funds for EOS. It's the 5th largest L1 with a lot of room for growth compared to the other big ones. Plus, it has a very juicy staking program going on right now.

Ok-Western-5799

To retire early. And I'm close to retiring with BTC, ETH, SOL, and EOS.

Ok-Western-5799

BTC has to be as high as 5, blud. Then the rest in blue chips like ETH, EOS, and SOL as well. Not forgetting real estate and having a business of my own.

Blooberino

Bulk pricing breaks on rapidly depreciating equipment isn't an economy of scale. You aren't mining more efficiently. And you aren't producing more product relative to each dollar spent. Remember, this was a year over year comparison. In 365 day, BTC has risen 121%. Despite the halving, they should IN THEORY still be up 21% if all other factors remain the same. You need both a reduction of production cost AND an increase in output to achieve an EOS. They're hemorrhaging.

Ok-Western-5799

Perhaps, you continue to be the degen that you. I'll tell you that now's the best time to invest. Look for Blue chips. SOL, BNB, EOS are solid then spread the rest across low/mid caps like QNT, HNT, and ENS.

coolfarmer

Ha ha ha, "Ethereum Killer". It's always the same story, look at EOS.

mrjune2040

Yeah, same shit. It's just that most Sol holders haven't been around long enough to have witnessed EOS.

_Commando_

SOL stinks like old EOS pre-sale.

mrjune2040

Solana in the long-term is exactly the VC operated company that I described, dumping on retail as exit liquidity. It's important to realise that Solana's play is to maximise user metrics in the short-term, to: 1/ increase valuation to create more inflows via funding rounds (currently on series b), this is the primary exit for investor (investors do not equal token holders, the real investors in Solana are on the equity side), 2/ to eventually dump Solana tokens to retail once the investor vesting periods fully unlock (over multiple years). I have no doubt that speculation and the push for those metrics will mean that Solana rise in the short/mid term but imo it's a poor long-term play compared to BTC and ETH. And again, Solana holders are NOT investors relative to token holders in BTC and ETH where there is a much better aligned interest between the technology development and token holders. As for Link, I have no strong opinion (I'd have a 'neutral' rating in stock terms), but it's not at a mature enough level of development to know whether it's here for the long-term or not. One thing is for sure—it's performed poorly against BTC over the past 4 years. It reminds me of EOS, NEO and others from the 2010's that the markets considered as good bets but were ultimately duds.

leradiyovq

It's ok to sell ADA and XRP. SOL is good and might also have a run if you can be patience. Better still, it's best to look into other coins that are making waves. EOS and RAM among others have been trending as they revamp their tokenomics. Burning 80% of EOS FDV and also staking is live.

AffectionatePeak9085

I can’t wait for them to be EOS 2024 version

Smiling_Jack_

OP's actual 2018 portfolio: NEM IOTA DASH EOS NEO

Oheson

Every Alt is potentially the next EOS, including ETH.

SpicyGums

It's the EOS 2 market's ago, been the best performer two bull markets in a row, you're just coping and we all know why.

xanokothe

Do you guys remember EOS? Sometimes I think SOL is the new EOS

#Tether Pro-Arguments Below is a Tether pro-argument written by CreepToeCurrentSea. > [USDT](https://tether.to/en/transparency/) is a stablecoin (stable-value cryptocurrency) issued by Tether, a Hong Kong-based company. The token is pegged to the USD by keeping reserves of commercial paper, fiduciary deposits, cash, reserve repo notes, and treasury bills equal to the number of USDT in circulation. Initially named as Realcoin, a second-layer cryptocurrency token built on top of Bitcoin's blockchain using the Omni platform, it was later renamed USTether and, finally, USDT. In addition to Bitcoin, USDT was later updated to work on the Ethereum, EOS, Tron, Algorand, and OMG blockchains. > > # PROs > > **USDT is well established** > > It has built a long history of resilience, reliability and trust because it has been around for a [while](https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-MBB-23780) (around 8 years in the cryptocurrency market). This had helped to convince clients that the stablecoin is [legitimate](https://www.certik.com/projects/tether?utm_source=CMC&utm_campaign=AuditByCertiKLink). > > As of this year, USDT currently is in the top ten cryptocurrencies by [market cap](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether) with a 24-hour trading volume of around 45 billion dollars and a total number of addresses of up to 4.5 million. In its last known [audit](https://www.fairyproof.com/doc/111.pdf) in 2021 it has been considered to have *"No vulnerabilities with critical, high, medium or low-severity."* > > **Wide acceptance** > > Tether has multiple gateways for customers (retail, exchanges, and companies) because it is built on several leading [blockchains](https://tether.to/en/supported-protocols), including Algorand, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash's Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Polygon, Tezos, Tron, Solana, and Statemine. These transport protocols are made up of open source software that interfaces with blockchains to allow for the issuance and redemption of Tether tokens. > > Furthermore, it has been available on major exchanges such as Bitfinex, Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and [more](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether#markets), Offering a plethora of pairs for users to choose from or that of which is available in their region although as of lately some exchanges have been switching to Circle's USDC over growing concerns of legal issues related with Tether. > > **Buffer against volatility** > > One of the primary functions of stablecoins is to act as a [hedge](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341245986_Are_stablecoins_truly_diversifiers_hedges_or_safe_havens_against_traditional_cryptocurrencies_as_their_name_suggests) when crypto markets are in a downturn. Because the aforementioned market is extremely volatile, traders and investors want some sort of buffer against this without having to directly trade their crypto for fiat as to also avoid larger fees as well. Supported by its large market capitalization, USDT should be less volatile and thus safer. > > **Announcement of a full audit** > > Tether's CTO Paolo Ardoino recently stated in an [interview](https://www.euromoney.com/article/2a8dpi4tnxahuu98a251c/fintech/cryptocurrencies-tether-is-open-to-providing-more-information) with Euromoney that the company is preparing for a full audit with an accounting firm called MHA Cayman (which also handles Tether's [quarterly assurance opinions/reports](https://assets.ctfassets.net/vyse88cgwfbl/1np5dpcwuHrWJ4AgUgI3Vn/e0dac722de3cea07766e05c52773748b/Tether_Assurance_Consolidated_Reserves_Report_2022-03-31__3_.pdf)). According to the CTO in the interview, MHA Cayman is one of the "*top 12*" accounting firms, and most top accounting firms deny requests for full audits due to the associated reputational risks. In the future, hopefully, this will provide more security and transparency to its users against the number of allegations and investigations it is currently facing. > > **Despite everything, USDT is still here** > > From the past legal troubles it has faced, the ones it's facing right now, the vast amount of criticisms from different facets off the internet and the several crypto winters it endured.

well to guard against under-performance by a single coin, smart crypt investors diversified their poorfolio and added some coins with use cases like STRAT, EOS and QTUM for smart contracts, ZCASH and DASH for privacy and a coin with enterprise adoption like XRP that would soon be adopted by banks /s

Ok-Western-5799

It's always nice to see projects comeback after a bad spell either with the team or whatever. I think EOS pulled this off too, and it's stronger for it now, with ENF now in charge.

Ok-Western-5799

EOS is also flashing a buy signal. You should definitely consider adding it now. The tokenomic revamp sets it up for a very good run this bull market.

thollulope

The right leadership is all EOS needed. They now look serious and better.

RookXPY

The EOS people should be in jail. They are the reason SBF, Do Kwon, and Mashinsky all thought they could get away with scamming crypto people.
