Recently I had told my followers I would be staying out of the market till the opportunity presents itself, which just happened to be yesterday 20th July when the BIP91 protocol got locked in on BTC and pushed the price up a staggering 28% in a 24hour period. \n\nEven thou I told my followers to “buy BTC with every penny” I unfortunately was left in the dark thanks to Lloyds Bank, unable to grab the opportunity myself, unable to make a profit and unable to make that nice paycheck that most of you receive at the end of the month.\n\nI had kept 35 000 Pounds (Around $45 000) aside specifically to open a huge BTC buy position on margin, that was until when I tried making my deposit my nightmare started. Payments kept declining so I done what anyone else would do, contact my bank. At first, I thought a simple phone call would fix the problem and I would be on my way, opening that large BTC position and reel in the money. Unfortunately, it was not that simple, being sent through from department to department, person to person, having to fax threw documents only to be told “We don’t know what the problem is” and spending a total of nearly 10 hours of my day just on the phone which you can just imagine how beautiful my phone bill looks with 10 hours of International calls on it. It was not a pleasant experience at all.\n\n![Untitled.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbvqtSJgBeDVUF31rnPDkfeZF9jEgk48sTuTr6xxxHAzA/Untitled.png)\nTHE START OF THE DISASTER\n\nWhen did society come to the point that we cannot even rely on the people that hold our money for support, where we are treated just as another number to them yet they brag on social media on how important their clients are to them. Have we reached that point? Where no matter how many times you tell the person on the other side of the phone that the situation is urgent and it is your income at stake and they do not even put one bit of effect to get the problem resolved even knowing that you have just spent 10 hours on the phone with and spoken to nearly 20 different employees, it really sad indeed. Eventually I got frustrated. I missed a major opportunity and still did not have access to my funds so done the only thing I could, turn to social media, if a company that is supposed to be my financial backbone is not willing to help, perhaps society will. \n\nI was surprised by the support and messages I received and finally, I got Lloyd’s attention, my problem was being looked into and very quickly was resolved. One man managed to do in 5 minutes what nearly 20 employees could not do in a period of 14 hours! Amazing! Personally, I think he deserves a promotion as he is capable of doing what 5 different departments could not resolve together. \n\nSadly the “promise” of great service and of how valuable your business is to Lloyds Bank is far from true, I noticed today that they will not give a shit if you are loosing income or don’t have access to your funds to feed yourself and your family, you placed on list and told that they will get back to you which that time never comes, even when they are the ones 100% at fault. Now wonder that statistic show that 1 in 3 people feel that banks don’t care.\n\nSo now the answer comes that many have asked me, “just how much did you loose”. Well taking the telephone bill that I am even scared to look at out of the questions, its save to say that I lost out on $75 000 of income at the least.\n\n![loss-of-income.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQW5puWYRzTuJriR33yPq6MbUfGFc18aCF6vn9H8VKX8E/loss-of-income.jpg)\n\nWhen I attempted to buy BTC to be able to margin BTCUSD, the price of BTC was at $2520 per BTC. So, $45 000 would of given me roughly 17.9 BTC at the time.\n\n![download.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQPpr7YAz1kg6YptJVxcuPBR5wSkmk4nzvB4JCmr8teHe/download.png)\n\nThat alone at this moment would be worth $53 000 at the current market price this alone is a $8000 loss, but what about the trade? How much did I loose there? How many days, weeks or months will it take to find another solid opportunity with the odds both fundamentally and technically are in your offer? A rock-solid trade that even beginner will know it’s a time to buy, it does not happen often.\n\nFortunately, I had a very small amount of funds available in BTC so I managed to trade a small position and luckily I can show how it went and here it is…. \n\n![lloyds complaint.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXyFFiJg1k1b3GMXgQ9RFDNRE77ubVJmsAwoqumHH9Pvr/lloyds%20complaint.png)\nBitMEX position\n\nSo with $2700 dollars that luckily I had in the account I managed build a position worth $190 000 in total value. Which gave a total ROI of 322.35% on my invested capital which you can see in green on the above image.\n \nTherefore, if my deposit was successful and I had used the capital specifically set aside for this trade but Lloyds took that opportunity from me I would have made 322.35% on $45 000.\n\nThis would total to a profit of $149 602.50. which instead of a huge profit I now have a huge loss of income that I have no one but Lloyds Bank to blame for. If considering the price increase in BTC as well, profits will easily exceed that in USD value if the current market price is taken. So saying I lost at least $75 000 is being conservative. \nSo, I ask the people that have taken the time to read this article, what would you do? Would you just let them get away with making you lose income and not being held responsible for it? Or would you do something about it? What would you settle for!?",

      "body": "![22995486509_36ebd9180e_z-1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSfv9RiDbpCXw5hqd5GWJwvPqyYB6mUgt1u1VptK1pdd3/22995486509_36ebd9180e_z-1.jpg)\n\nAltcoins: what do they have to offer?\n\nWhen Bitcoin came out, the idea of cryptocurrencies was unknown. Its process to gain significant public recognition was not easy, it took years and concentrated efforts from the community. Later, the crowd arrived driven by the network effect, with the opportunity to invest and get “easy” money.\n\nEarly adopters became involved by the unique features Bitcoin had: wanting to stay anonymous, feeling captivated by the idea of a decentralized currency, interested in the opportunity of transferring funds at low costs or, simply feeling cool using a currency backed by complex cryptography and cutting-edge hardware.\n\nBut as Bitcoin got more popular, problems with its network started to pop out. The Blockchain frequently cannot handle the number of transactions it receives, causing the raise of fees and confirmation times. The Blockchain has also proved to be limited in other aspects, where alternative coins have demonstrated to have something to offer.\n\nAs 2017 passes, Bitcoin loses more and more ground in the battle to control the market of cryptocurrencies. Four altcoins are particularly defying its traditional dominance: Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin and Ethereum Classic.\n\n![Picture1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXA4FJVc4V7iwigYDKzX1e1c59vVEKUihYyEr6Qu4TEjU/Picture1.png)\n\nBitcoin’s market capitalisation decreasing every day.\n\n \n\nWhat are altcoins and what are their strong points?\n\nAltcoin was a term coined to call any cryptocurrency that is not Bitcoin, regardless of its origin or particular features. More than 700 altcoins exist at the moment, and new ones are thrown into the market every other day.\n\nWhile some of such coins are completely worthless and just lazy clones of Bitcoin or any other digital currency already in existence, a couple of them do actually provide added value and are here to stay.\n\n \n\nEthereum \n![eth.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSDSCeQvAdoh7DMTc8f7HVmR6r1Gaad2DZHWRVgZMvJgF/eth.png)\n\n\nEthereum came out on July 2015, thought to improve Bitcoin by providing a scripting language that works directly on the blockchain and makes it easier to develop applications. The public reception was extremely positive, gathering millions of dollars during its crowdfunding stage.\n\nWhen the currency was still in its childhood, a hack to one of its iconic projects put at risk about 3.6 million ETHER and compromised the future of the whole Ethereum network. But the situation was carefully solved and the coin came back on track in no time.\n\nAfter its security issues were fixed, the only thing left to be seen were its groundbreaking features: the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute code of any algorithmic complexity; and, smart contracts, which allow arrangements without third-party mediators, automation of many business processes and the tokenization of virtually any asset.\n\nEthereum is now set to take the lead in market capitalization, as the gap between it and Bitcoin shrinks. The platform is relatively new and there are plenty of services still to be built on top of it. Big players like Microsoft, Santander and J.P. Morgan (members of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance – EEA) have endorsed this technology, president Vladimir Putin met with Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum’s creator) in what many considered an act of public approval by Russia, South Korea is increasingly interested and flooding the ETH market with KRW and, even the United Nations are testing with Ethereum to send humanitarian aid to refugees.\n\n \n\nRipple\n\n![xrp.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmemzBQdfc4AR9f65bG6T7FGE5gPK7xGFZR6XXUnDGkeew/xrp.png) \n\nThe banking sector moves billions of dollars and Ripple Labs., the company behind the Ripple protocol and the token of the same name, knew it. Committed to solve key problems of the industry, they developed a solution to address slow transactions, high costs and, problems with access and traceability.\n\nRipple recently catched up VISA in transaction throughput, fees are as low as 0.00001 XRP (1 XRP ~= 0.28 USD), Ripple Labs. takes care of liquidity by periodically injecting tokens to the network and traceability comes embedded with any blockchain solution.\n\nRipple estimates it could save about 60% in settlements to banks. And banks already believe in and support Ripple, which has more than 75 customers all over the world and works with 15 of the top 50 largest banks.\n\n \n\nLitecoin\n\n![ltc.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdHt7ZxS4KZRL5H6S9B8Z5BoywYvrrqBd3R65JpsTerYL/ltc.png)\n\nLitecoin came out during the early years of Bitcoin and was initially promoted as the silver to Bitcoin’s gold. It features 4x faster confirmation times (with 2.5 vs. 10 minutes on average per block) and coin supply (84 vs 21 million in total) and a memory-hard mining algorithm which discourages centralization.\n\nThis altcoin was traditionally second in market capitalization until Ripple took off, perhaps never reached a representative share that could challenge the Bitcoin supremacy. But the situation suddenly changed this year, when the adoption of segregated witness (SegWit) and the resignation of Charlie Lee from Coinbase to dedicate full-time to its creation (LTC), brought life and attention to Litecoin.\n\nSegregated Witness is a solution proposed to fight the network delays that currencies like Bitcoin are facing, which consists in moving transaction signatures to the end of the block in order to allow the allocation of more transactions. BTC is planning to adopt SegWit in the near future, but no date has been given yet, while Litecoin just proved that success smiles at those that do not fear change.\n\n \n\nEthereum Classic\n\n![etc.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYgYwPgCdgvWuu4zc4q6C3Q4KQUDXE6RXcJWDHhWnTUxr/etc.png) \n\nBorn when Ethereum was forked after the DAO hack, this currency is backed by those who preferred to stay loyal to their principles and respect the “code is law” maxim.\n\nEthereum Classic (ETC) shares many of the elements that have given Ethereum (ETH) great success. Besides being a personal favourite of hard-line crypto-enthusiasts, it has also received public support being listed on Bloomberg terminals and used to control ticket hoarding.\n\nIf true anonymity is important to you, some interesting altcoins to watch are Monero, ZCash and Dash. They focus on untraceable transactions which respect user’s right to privacy.\n\nOther coins exist to address more specific issues including GameCredits for gaming, Waves for crowdfunding and NEM (XEM) to promote equality. The altcoin scene is rich and crowded, go ahead and explore it by yourself!\n\n \n\nLet the race begin to supremacy, pick your coin!",
