I'll go first. Doge, Litecoin, Ethereum, Iota, Eos, and bcash and all the other forked coins
Monero, It's great for darknet stuff, but in Russian darknet marketplaces everyone uses bitcoin. Tron, great platform for moving USDT, but now Polygon is cheaper. Every EVM blockchain is pretty much a platform for moving USDT, It's their only real use case. I think of them as a payment providers such as PayPal, but more open and decentralized (of course not as decentralized as bitcoin, but better than PayPal).

Interesting!
What's your opinion on Litecoin?
reply
Lol! Points for Monero tho
reply
Litecoin and Ethereum shortly before I came to ₿esus.
To be totally transparent, I also occasionally play coinbase earn on the toilet because I'm kind of curious if they'll ever improve the game mechanics + I want to see what kind of "inventions" are coming out ... (which yields coins that I covert to bitcoin).
reply
I forgot about Coinbase earn. LOL. They still do that?
reply
As of like a month ago
reply
Do you play it on the toilet so no one can see you?
reply
Best place to earn shitcoins.

This is the perfect comment.
reply
What makes you think I'm alone when I'm on the toilet?
reply
Because you're playing coinbase earn, lol
I didn't even know it was a game you could play
I thought it's about staking coins
reply
Oh maybe it's called "Coinbase Learn" ... They basically quiz you on cryptohs and pay in the corresponding coin if you answer right. It's basically an ad paid for by cryptoh preminers/founders.
reply
Does it require KYC? I've recently been thinking of ways to get free shitcoins so I can convert them.
reply
Coinbase earn. First time hearing of it. Haha. Good confession.

Yeah, let's establish a SN confessional. I suppose there is a lot to confess - human, all-too-human stuff that is overgrowing reason...

I once held Cardano. It is now one of my favourite shitcoins to rag on, right up there with Nano.
reply
Ha! Cardano and Polkadot. I always think of these two and forget which one's founder Novogratz had as a college roommate.

Can't get the pic where the cardano logo is compared with an anus out of my mind
Can't unsee lol
reply
Lol, I was a major shitcoiner, I had bags of
  • LTC
  • TRX
  • SIA
  • XML
  • XRP
  • STEEM
  • ETH
And I was planning on going to the moon, I had some other ICO nonsense tokens too, but these were my main bags apart from BTC. Getting rekt was the best thing to happen to me

Doge, Solana, Ethereum, Cardano, and Stacks 😬
I never saw them as money though, just ways to make money. Still, I wasted a lot of money I could have put in Bitcoin on them and wouldn't touch the stuff today.

Tons back in 2017. I owned something called Dash. Plus the ones you mentioned.
I closed my coinbase account a couple years ago so I can't take a trip down memory and see all the stupid shit I bought.
I was always 90% bitcoin though.
reply
Dash! Nir a bad logo tbh. They at least positioned themselves as a potential payment channel coin.
Good one.
reply
ETH, IOTA, DASH, XMR
That's it, I swear
I still hold some XMR to be fair

Totally fell for it. Also fell for the appeal to authority fallacy since it was from an ex-Google dev.

I built my own crypto portfolio. 20-25 holdings including NFT’s. Had some of all the top 10 market cap ones and otho
reply
NFTs! Haha. Nice admit. What were they of?
reply
Just small cap free ones I got for purchasing shitcoins and shilling them. Ouch hurts to admit. They are all down 90% plus so I still have them. Maybe I’ll dump in the next bull run?
reply
ETH. Still own. As a hedge against Bitcoin ngmi. But i honestly hope that stack will go to ZERO.
reply
Haha. A guy at my work bought an absolute horde of Ethereum about a year ago. I tried telling him otherwise but he was convinced by some motley fool articles that bitcoin was too expensive and didn't "do" enough things to be the future.
💀
Poor schmuck doesn't have the courage to even talk crypto with me anymore.
reply
Used to be me, hanging on to some ETH, almost for sentimental reasons. It has more soy-devs, but it's such a clique-controlled submissive shitcoin and mother asshole of other shitcoins.
I no longer hedge against Bitcoin with any crypto-shitcoins.
reply
I understand. For me it is bet on different core tech which i hope will never win. Yet it has too big of an ecosystem to pretend it doesnt exist and it might find the product market fit. It is no longer double digit shitcoin.
reply
I still have some Doge. For sentimental reasons too hahah

HFSP, retard. Hedge more. Sell all your bitcoin. Buy houses and stocks and gold.

Have all of that.

Love to hear it, now just sell more of your bitcoin.

I'm not sure I was clear, it is not a general statement, but addressed at YOU, in particular, a shitcoiner retard -- the poorer the shitcoiner retards are, the more productive and wealthy the world is on net. You are a parasite, an inevitable error of life itself.

Honestly, none. I was sceptical of bitcoin and crypto from the sidelines for years. Didn't take the time to understand it and snarked every time it crashed. But when it came "back from the dead" for about the 5th time, I decided to take the time to learn how it actually worked. Read Inventing Bitcoin and just went in Bitcoin only from there.

The US Dollar... unfortunately I still have some 😞
In seriousness, I held a little bit of the random Brave Browser token for a while. I was really interested in ETH for a time and was going to go all in on it instead of Bitcoin, then decided to take more time to research and come to a decision. Boy did that pay off
reply
Forgot to mention, I also messed around with Monero mining one time on a whim. Had a tiny amount of XMR owed to me by the pool but never got it
reply
Awesome! Haha. Yeah a lot of us were into eth
reply
Doge, Ethereum, Cro which is Cronos now I believe. PAX or PAXG I can’t remember and maybe some Cardano.
Started off with crypto.com and slowly started studying and trying to understand and finally came around to Bitcoin.
reply
Ha crypto.com!!!!

Hahaha weirdly I should thank them because now I’m a Bitcoiner and I started there.

You didn't own bitconnect?

Hey hey heyyyyyyyy.
No hahaha. Thankfully not

LOL this thread is so funny
I had
TRX ADA CVC (this one I really believed in 😂) Followcoin CanYa coin KCS BNB DOT tixl SNX (huge believer in this until ETH chain screwed me then I dumped it) HOT ETH LTC
I am sure I’m forget some others but yeah I shitcoin’d heavy. Bitboy crypto and altcoin daily on YouTube were my shows! 😂

I use XMR and degen on Ethereum with ETH and MATIC with some crypto games. Also I use XRP to transfer between exchanges without fees.

I owned 30 ETH around the time it was launched. Read more about it and sold it all a month later at more-or-less break-even.
Also owned a bunch of doge as a joke when it first launched.. forgot I had it for several years, sold it.

wish I held on to that eth so I could dump it on some people. I just couldn't get behind what it was going for so sold it out of spite. lmao

Doge. I got in at 0.04 and got out at 0.70. Not for much. Walked off with about 400 so it helped me kickstart my BTC fund.

i sold my doge at the meme number of 0.420. I decided a meme coin couldn't possibly go higher than meme number. Guess I was off by a bit.

I once had XLM. It was my first cryto; (Damn that word makes my cringe).
I bought into the idea that on Stellar it was possible to hold multiple currencies. I realized that was a lie when I tried sending my "Bitcoin" to my own Bitcoin wallet.
Eventually I figured out how to convert my Bitcoin tokens into the real thing, and this became my first Bitcoin UTXO; Which I still have.

BNB, LunaUST, ETH 🤢🤮

I've used Doge long time ago, but I wouldn't call it shcoin as an illiterate, but would say zerocoin, no coin, noncoin, etc. No offence, but too many people from English speaking countries use words that start with 's' & 'f'... It looks like their brain is full of that material and they are unable to find other words to express something. 🤔 🙈 I like SN community, writings here are good quality, with few exceptions, that's why would be better do not see this brainless expression named here shcoin. Thank you!

Bitcoin had just hit a new ATH and it was all over the news. My thesis was simple... buy low and sell high. But to do this I knew I needed to wait until the bottom of the next bear market (of course).
While I waited, I got distracted by crypto. I remember it was like walking into a casino with flashing lights and loud noises. I bought some random shitcoin and got hooked on the rush of watching my so called 'money' go up and down. It was addictive.
Next I started listening to every YouTuber and influencer out there. Fortunately, I have a pretty good bullshit meter. I quickly realized most of it was scammy and scummy. I could see most of them where just pumping their bags. I still owned some bags of the usual shit (ETH, DOGE, ADA, SOL, etc). If the goal was to make more dollars, I actually did pretty well.
But something didn't sit right. Bitcoin didn't fit the mold, it wasn't like all the others. I went down the rabbit hole. At some point I was listening to a podcast and something clicked. From this moment on, I saw the world differently. I started seeing everything through a Bitcoin lens and everything started to make more sense.
I sold all my shitcoin bags and went all in on Bitcoin at the bottom of the bear market. My original thesis was finally playing out. But there's a difference. I'm not selling. I couldn't give a fuck about having more dollars anymore.
We should all remember our stories, because this is how new Bitcoiner's are created. It takes time to do the work.

I still use monero to pay for VPN services. Not that I go out of my way to do that, but the shitheads at mullvad don't accept lightning and making an on-chain payment kinda defeats the purpose of using a VPN for privacy.
I actually don't mind "using" any shitcoin for this purpose. It's the store of value purpose that I care the most and that's what I use bitcoin of course.

lol, for some reason I replied to the wrong comment and then I deleted this comment and moved it here
But we can continue here - or there :)
but at the very least we can keep ourselves less exposed to the average pleb
this is true :) But the thing is: do you want to protect yourself against the average pleb? Or is it actually about the sophisticated attacker?
I had a post regarding this in mind. Maybe I'll post it later after some refinement.
Created a ticket now btw
edit: Oh, this wasn't the comment that replied to the wrong comment. This one was it
I am getting confused now, since you replied to this comment with my previous comment somewhere else haha
You may did this on purpose :)

some plebs on here are not so average. some might be heavy weights with resources, you never know. then there's maybe also people scrapping or trying to fingerprint a writing style. lol, like how people are creating voice models based on podcasters since they have enough data to train with
Yes, that's actually my point, lol
You won't be able to protect yourself against them with deleting your comments after some time. And those are the ones you should care about.
The average pleb doesn't care about your identity.
Maybe, with deleting your comments, you are even making yourself a target, lol :)
