If its possible (with CC you never know) i want to have a civil discussion with the community. I have been an active member of the crypto community since quite a while now (i have been mining since june 2017, investing since nov 2017).These coins have been on my list for quite some time - even invested in some but later sold to consolidate in other holdings. I am on the fence on all of these but im not sure about them. It feels like the risk/rewards are a bit too much for me (high risk / high reward, while i rather like medium to low risk and medium to low reward - like BTC/ETH/XMR). Now my opinion MIGHT seem like FUD to some, but it isnt. Yes, it is doubt - but not fear or uncertainty. I just dont know. Call me stupid, but my understanding IS limited on these subjects. Crypto is a difficult game to play IMO, and trying to understand it all (as a lowly IT worker) feels impossible without the help and knowledge of the community. It is also why - even though our community can be toxic as hell - am in the end grateful that we do have a community here on reddit.I want to know the community opinion about it - and really the whole community. So both FOMO inducing thoughts as FUD inducing thoughts - but with real arguments - no mindless shilling or mindless FUD (PLEASE). Not 'shitcoins buy BTC' or 'BUY NOW or regret it'. Can we for a single moment act rational and just discuss things? What are the pro's and cons, how do you feel about them - and with strong arguments (again NOT, they are shitcoins buy Bitcoin - infact, i rather have Bitcoin/ETH maximalist NOT comment on this thread). Do you also think the team behind the coins will succeed in delivering? And if there is an actual market for it/use cause for it? And i know 'DYOR'. I have done it, i am doing it. Its just that the subs of the coins usually are hostile AF for asking questions, that i have just given up. Also on most sub you just get Shillings or 'DYOR' comments. It doesnt feel neutral. And i am not a discord guy, i wasnt an IRC guy back in the early days either - besides for downloading movies back then. I think - once you remove the BTC and ETH maximalist - CC can be more neutral, have more opinions about the subject as fanboys and sceptics can class here. Also i rather see CC being a center of knowledge, where we can spread and share our knowledge. I know - besides the brainless memes and brainless shilling and fuds -there have been rare ocasions of post that truly have enlightened me, that have given me more knowledge about crypto as a whole or about a specific coin. Let us please share knowledge too, and not be hateful or negative.My reasons/opinions (both positive and doubts and what i know about the coins in very basic terms) for being interested in the coins are as following:ARK and ICX:These two because they have been going for interloperbility since ive known about then back in 2017. Interloperbility IS going to be a major game changer in my eyes (because i dont believe Bitcoin will be the only crypto ever and the rest are all shitcoins - please BTC maximalist, let this thread go! We know your opinion already!). Its one of the reasons i think ADA is interesting (a personal opinion that i know not everyone shares - and that is okay). I know Ark is trying to make side chains very easy (with 'one button' or so they say), creating your own side chain and connecting that with other Blockchains is the idea behind Ark (at least, so far as i have understand it). ICX on the other hand tries to be a bit bigger then that, with its smart contract platform and it also aims at enterprises.HOT: The CEO of Firefox endorses it (and also the CEO of Netflix if im right), which is amazing. The whole DNA and agents thing is confusing though and even though ive read a lot of comments about it, i still am not sure how secure it is compared to 'regular' blockchain tech. It also wants to be a Dapp platform if im right and even be a standard for Web 3.0 (like Eth is aiming, more or less). Im not sure if its right, but it does feel like ETH is its main competitor, but its system is very different. It isnt a blockchain directly? HOT confuses the shit out of me lol and the wiser man in me says not to invest in things i cant understand.QNT: It seems like QNT is more of a software/OS that runs of blockchain and through it, connects through all the different kinds of Blockchain. So from my understanding, QNT is an operating system mainly that uses Blockchain to transfer value/information etc. and also links different kind of chains together. I can see the appeal here, though i always wondered what the use of QNT token itself is. The software is amazing, but cant you just replace QNT token with USD/EUR or w/e and have it still working the same? This makes me feel very double about the project. I think the software is something the industry needs (interloperbility!) but another token, just cause you can - is something we dont need. Im a right in this assumption?Well you dont have to reply on my opinion/thoughts/shilling/fuds (or w/e you want to call it), but i do want to hear your opinion - backed with logical arguments. You can share your sentiment (your emotions) but lets keep the shilling as low as possible. Also if it can, keep it at the forementioned coins. I dont want to hear about other projects. I know about the other projects. Im not asking about them. No VET/IOTA/ADA/ETH/XLM/AMB or some other project please. Definitely NOT Bitcoin. We fucking know it. Its the granddaddy, the big spanker, the baller, the OG - WE KNOW IT. Please lol. Just the coins ARK, ICX, HOT and QNT. I want to further diversify my holdings and these are the coins i am interested in but my own understanding is limited on it, doing the research have left me unsure/confused. Subs like CC should help with these kind of things, as in the end - wether you are a BTC maximalist, ETH maximalist or a lover of another crypto - we are ALL one community and we ALL want crypto to thrive, we ALL see the benefits of it, so please act like this - lets help each other and not be tribal about it. There are enough other threads were you can vent about your favorite team.
