The alt coins market is a crazy bussines, once upon a time the alts went up when bitcoin went up. Now it is the other way around, it is a bloodbath at the moment. If bitcoin is going to 500.000 or a million dollars then the altcoins are priced at what? A few satoshi? Iam going to change my strategy bigtime, that is stockpiling and hodling bitcoin.

Right and also if Bitcoin is a million dollars a coin (which isn't going to happen because it can't scale) then altcoins would boom anyways.

A Bitcoin rise never hurts altcoins in the long run because holders of Bitcoin simply have more spending power and thus more inventive to diversify. Plus it draws attention to the industry and brings new people in. Also Bitcoin price rising drags up the fiat value of altcoins.

Granted I'm one of the first people to get upset that I don't hold "more Bitcoins" due to not selling. A mistake I've made oh about... let me see... a bazillion times. Don't be afraid to keep repeating that mistake because we aren't psychic. It's very easy to look at the past and say "oh I should have done that".

To test start with a quarter. Call it heads or tails. Lets say you call tails. When it flips to heads simply say to yourself "Oh damn I should have chosen heads, I knew that... next time I'm gonna choose heads." Just don't get upset if you keep guessing incorrectly.

trader dont use coin flip to trade, its too random...  we trader use chart, its less random and give somehow more insight on how the market react.

True, however that wasn't my point. I was saying hindsight is 20/20. And long term bulls tend to do better than short term bears.

Picking the right altcoin is always eventually going to make you magnitudes more btc than just holding btc

BTC is the safe bet
Alts are the risky bet

The right alts are a sure thing

lol exactly no confirms after 18 hours for me with btc and reasonable fees.... why have people not switched away from this dinosaur ?

when these new investors find out you can get crypto space shuttles for a fraction of the price of crypto roller skates the deserving alts will go crazy.

I recently downloaded the BitBay client and am nothing but impressed. This seems far better than anything I have seen so far in crypto, definitely ahead of its time. Kudos to the dev, this is awesome work. I understand now why many people are really impressed and hyped about BitBay. If all those features will be launched and working this will be huge!

Im not really tech savvy so I was wondering if if I only download the client it will also sync the blockchain? It seems like it does, but on the BitBay website there is also another download called "download Blockchain", can someone guide me here?

Another question is: are there already trades happening on the client? It somehow didnt show anything for me (I didnt wait until all blocks were synced though, do I have to do this in order to see the market?).
Thanks in advance, cheers!

Thanks for the fast and detailed answer.

Alright, now I understand why there is the downloadable blockchain as well. I guess I will also download it to make it sync faster.

Great to hear that the market place is running already. I love free p2p marketplaces and yours is by far the most beautiful I've seen so far. Im looking forward to the widespread adoption of BitBay, this will be just huge!

Do you also got a telegram/ discord/ slack channel or any other recommended sources to get the latest updates?

Kudos to everyone working on this project, Im really into it!

yes for good coin, that usually the case. 

A very nice new web page for Bitbay. Looks really professional that was needed. A lot of updates for Bitbay lately. Still, a lot undervalued in my opinion.
