SERIOUS FOMO. SHOULD I BUY BTC OR ZCLASSIC?

in #btc7 years ago (edited)

I'm having some serious FOMO. I have NO BTC (don't laugh........actually, do laugh. It is laughable). And well, there's a hard fork coming up that will result in free Bitcoin Private.

If you own BTC, you'll get 1:1 BTCP.

If you own Zclassic, it will result in 1:1 BTCP.

So you'll keep your BTC and Zclassic, but you'll have that much in BTCP as well.

My main sources of info at this time come from:

@erodedthoughts -- Bitcoin Private
Thoughts on Zclassic (discussion board)
What you need to know about upcoming bitcoin hardforks


Frankly, having BTC is worth it in itself. So I could just buy a thousandth of a fraction of BTC with my $220. OR I could buy $110 BTC and $110 Zclassic and watch them both split.

Then again, altcoins are a risk. Especially when you don't have a lot to speculate with. There are exchange fees, unreliable wallets, too many forks that are not supported on good exchanges, and well-intentioned but erroneous rumors that lead you down the toilet.

@mynameisbrian's suggestion is to avoid altcoins and just stick with the high confidence stuff like BTC and ETC. I tend to agree with him. Maybe I'll just hodl.

What would YOU do? ANY THOUGHTS???

Sort:  

In cryptocurrency life price rise today and decline tomorrow should be always careful and smart

True, but I'm gunna take a gamble on the hard fork coming up mid - end of January. Only thing is, I probably should set up a wallet for my new btcp, right? Or else, will it just disappear? I don't know how that works...

I would avoid both of those coins right now. I believe in litecoin because of Charlie Lee’s skill at dealmaking and advocacy. However, I have been intending to invest in PIVX and DASH because they both have treasury funds that can pay for marketing and advertising.

Yeah, I think I'll stay away. I'm gun shy on those right now. I changed my mind. Too much what if right now. Zclassic's already over $200.
