Why Are You Interested in Cryptocurrencies?

in #altcoins7 years ago (edited)

Hey guys,

I know there are so many people out there with so many different reasons for being interested in this space. Whether it be the technological advantages or simply just the profit potential I would love to hear about why you got into crypto and what you hope to get out of it if anything at all!

I'll start by saying that I originally got into crypto because of how cool I thought it was that I could openly trade different altcoins instantaneously. I was so intrigued that each coin had a different concept and it was so cool to watch how prices fluctuated due to different social events.

For example, a few weeks ago we saw PotCoin go up by 50% simply because Dennis Rodman (former NBA player who played with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls) went to North Korea "thanks to Potcoin".

This got me wondering... Why are altcoins popular? What makes one coin more valuable than another? Truthfully I feel like this platform is way more developed than a large majority of altcoins out there and yet right now a single Steem coin is only worth around $2!

As I continue to learn more about this scene I've been trying to find the most useful resources to try and talk with other crypto users such as myself. I recently joined a FB group created by Suppoman Udemy and would be happy to try and get anyone added to the group who is interested. Aside from talking about which coins might breakout, I find it extremely interesting to see what questions people have and furthermore who these people are.

This community is truly a beautiful thing and I'm extremely stoked to watch how this landscape unfolds over the next few years. What about you?

I am interested due to the decentralization.. This is one of the most beautiful things ever.. Yet more and more sites have big fees now on transfers so its kinda getting the same as to fees wise.
Cheers and much love

right? I find it so interesting that it costs me $4 to buy $100 worth of BTC on Coinbase when the entire idea of BTC was that there weren't supposed to be any fees :P

With that being said I totally understand why this is the case as Coinbase needs to stay in business but I definitely feel like the fees are quite high and it would be nice to be able to move my currencies around without having to lose small percentages every time I make a purchase, transfer, and/or deposit
