Feathercoin up 400% in a week
-
I am in no way trying to say that I had anything to do with the rise in price…because I seriously doubt that I did.
With that being said:
I went onto a few of the crypto discussion pages that I follow about a week before the jump in price, asking if anyone had ever heard of FTC. I was scouring the internet for a profitable mining opportunity, and somehow stumbled across FTC. I read about the project, and was really intrigued by it. As most of you know, Feathercoin IS a great coin. After reading about it, and asking around to see if anyone had ever heard of it, I never ended up buying any, but I kept it on my radar. 3 or 4 days after I started talking about it, it had this crazy jump. I am still kicking myself for not buying in when I originally found it. I have since become an avid fan, and this is the first coin I’ve ever mined.
Like I said at the beginning, I’m not saying that it was my fault, but it sure was a strange coincidence. Maybe we have more influence over these Alt markets than we think…who knows…?
-
I know that we don’t have any influence … :)
-
not entirely true, our/your presence in the forum promotes an active community. without us its likely feathercoin would go away. … now if it ever REALLY took off the relative importance of anyone person would go down dramatically.
-
Sorry, I meant, I know I don’t have any influence.
-
I also don’t have any influence. I just like helping the community. it provides better job satisfaction than my current fiat employment.
-
and… it’s up again.
Still didn’t get around to buying some more coins as I was waiting for a drop. Looks like the new bottom has been set.Where else can we buy these easily? They keep getting bought up on bittylicious too fast.

Where else can we buy these easily? They keep getting bi actually (briefly) had started a new thread in the main feathercoin discussion asking basically if anyone knew what was up. i deleted it when i decided not enough time had passed, probably more of what was going on here.
I actually went to bittrex and just got the enchanced approval so i can trade there if the price continues to climb. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/feathercoin/trading_exchanges they seem to do 98% of it.
-
yeah looks like I am going to have to go coinbase + bittrex and start with all the approvals, no way round it :)
-
They are now at 18p! Might start to break even on the coins I bought at 48 pence back in early 2014 :D
Going to take several days to get approval at coinbase and then bank transfers take 2-3 days to clear, annoying. Might miss this wave.
Wonder if we’ll see £1 a coin end of next year. That will wake up some of the old users again :)
-
Dang. I think Branson started buying FTC! (see main forum) 23p!
Super pissed I couldn’t buy any at 11p now haha. few more days to wait for approvals! -
Under 15p, time to fill your boots again!

-
@wrapper makes sense and the fact the transaction rate is soooo much faster.
Issue for me is where can you buy FTC for fiat?
I am having to buy bitcoins so I can convert them to FTC and that’s so slow and expensive. -
@digga Someone (not me I’m disabled and nearly retired) should make a fortune setting up another exchange? LocalAltcoins? © FTC GPL3
(Then donate some whale bonuses / contributions to FTC out their profits to keep FTC going and appreciate the free software and secure blockchain https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/9283/feathercoin-0-9-6-x-series-contributions-and-contributers-to-ftc)
-
@wrapper bittylicious sells FTC, but it’s quite pricey.
Just need some more people to buy them :)
-
Come on Branson! keep pumping these bad boys! - told my wife I’d buy her a new car if they hit £4 each.
-
I heard that!!
