I only use 2 pages on that site...the home page and the "bitcoin symbol" page
- on the home page under bitcoin markets it shows you all the "hot" coins moving and it's also where I exchange my bitcoins for the coins I want
- on the "bitcoin symbol" page is where I create a bitcoin address to deposit my bitcoins and check the balance on the other coins I own
how are you planning to get bitcoins into bittrex?
and what coin do you want to exchange it for?
ok interesting; i was planning on using a credit card to purchase bitcoins, that is possible right? also on the home page the arrow is pointing up for green and down for red; so im assuming when you mean hot, you are talking about the green arrow? and whats the configuration for changing those numbers into dollars? meaning all of the coins are based off bitcoins; so im trying to figure the dollar equivalent..
as far as I know bittrex only quotes costs in terms of bitcoins...you are right about the green/red...I haven't tried buying bitcoins directly from bittrex
this is the best BTC to USD converter tho...I'd bookmark it
http://preev.com/
I like it bcuz it will convert to fractions of a penny whereas other converters won't convert anything under $0.01
ok so you just transfer your bitcoins to bittrex and then exchange for different coins? also how do those numbers convert in terms of us dollars; like it says reddcoin is .00000012 which translates to what in terms of dollars/cents? im sure there is a conversion chart but I just havent found it
I just added a converter in the post above...I'd check that price tho...bittrex is currently showing RDD as .00000033 BTC for me
I'm still new to bittrex...I was able to figure out what I need it to do...but I'd def like to know if you can purchase BTC directly from them and if it's possible to change settings to show USD quotes...I haven't seen anything tho
also under the settings gear icon...you can go thru more verification steps to increase daily withdrawal limits...just registering alone enables you to a a withdrawal limit of 1 BTC
I was talking about it to another poster @ the top of this page...just a cheap hunch that was sparked by @Tha Great Muta inquiring about it...had my eye on it when it was @ $0.0002 a couple of days ago...bought in this morning when I seen it hit $0.0005
*edit*
I've finally learned not to hesitate on dudes' suggestions/inquiries in here
pascal...NEM...stellar lumens and @ least 1-2 others are all coins that were in the $0.00x @ the start of this thread that dudes recommended that I missed out on that eventually hit their stride...now those coins range from $0.05 to $0.75

The Financial Tech Revolution Will Be Tokenized
Robert Hackett
May 20, 2017
Ethereum and its visionary creator Vitalik Buterin for Fortune’s 40 Under 40 issue last year, the market for alternative currencies, or digital tokens, has exploded. There’s arguably no hotter (and more bubbly) trend in all of financial technology than the ICO, or initial coin offering, which allows startups pushing blockchain tech, an accounting innovation that replaces middlemen withledgers shared across decentralized networks of computers, to host crowdfunded sales of their own invented monies. (To learn more about ICOs, read this Q&A I did with my Fortune colleague Erin Griffith.)
On Friday, I spent the day at the Ethereal Summit in Brooklyn, which brought together a motley crew of blockchain acolytes to celebrate the cultural movement—and it is one—around Ethereum, a system that proponents hope will re-decentralize the Web, taking power away from present-day brokers like Facebook (FB, +0.24%), Google (GOOG, +0.41%), and Amazon (AMZN, +0.14%). As I walked around, I stumbled into an art installation—a giant, undulating, plastic bubble heated by a cryptocurrency mining rig, basically a computer blowing off steam as it generates digital currency. The piece resembled a big tarp pillow that you could walk inside.
I learned that an old high school friend built it. He's working on a startup that has something to do with real estate and these newfangled digital tokens. (I'm still vague on the details.). Of course, he's mulling an ICO later this year.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune's daily tech newsletter, where this essay originated
Joseph Lubin, CEO of ConsenSys and co-founder of Ethereum, was, unsurprisingly, bullish about the ICO gold rush. "It will be responsible for a great thawing of capital," he told me, referring to the ability for people easily to buy and sell the tokens that fuel ICOs. Token holders can trade these assets online at any time, unlike traditional venture capital investments, which are often locked up until a company is acquired or holds an initial public offering. Despite concerns about the legality of ICOs—are tokens essentially unregistered securities? (blockchain proponents say no)—Lubin noted that U.S. regulators are hesitant to crack down on the nascent sector for fear of crippling its potential. "They've got one eye open," he said of the enforcers.
Justin Newton, CEO of Netki, a bitcoin wallet startup, and a participant in my blockchain panel at last year's Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference, told me that he was reluctant to invest in the ICO space because he felt that the products were not yet sophisticated enough. If and when investors rush to cash out their tokens, the companies on which they're based will collapse, he said. Newton mentioned that while sharing rides in Lyft cars in recent months, he has met, on three separate occasions, twenty-something students who were interning at crypto hedge funds, firms that hold positions in tokens minted by blockchain startups. "When I was in college I took a job at Wendy’s," he said.
Critics and boosters alike are comparing this moment in the evolution of blockchain business to the heady dot-com boom of the '90s. While I was too young to appreciate all the excesses of that era, I'm certain the echoes are present in today's token revolution. As one entrepreneur told me, "this is happening right now whether I’m involved or not, so I may as well take advantage."
In time, it will become more clear who has taken advantage, and who has been taken advantage of.

Wild wild west baby; no reason for all of us not to be sitting very nice in a few years off of this; brothers helping brothers is a beautiful thing!!!!
bittrex...mad as shit I didn't jump on it earlier...not wanting to fuck w/ polo and being limited by kraken's selection of coin is what also made me hesitant early in the game
Master Fard Muhammad told me to buy Bytecoin, and I bouht 100K Bytecoins and them shits are up over 50% since I added it to my Crypto coins portfolio!
Another cheap coin to keep a eye on is DigitalNote (XDN)
On Bittrex. It's at .001 right now it.can't hurt to buy in

OP Please forgive me for calling this a scam. Everyone on bgol KNOWS at times, i am a complete FOOL! 
Don't buy it soley because its cheap, breh. What are the reasons and factors that make you believe in its price increase?
shot up outta nowhere...will keep an eye on it...ya I might just buy up a little of everything...even $100 could do some damage if this shit hits 10 cents...as dude said in one video...I'm just call myself a cryptocoin collector @ this point...sometimes hobbies can get a little expensive lol
Seeing some of these posts is making my spine tingle. I want in damnit.
I'm so mad I didn't follow these dudes' leads early on this thread...like literally tens of thousands of $$$ I missed out on if I just spent $100 here and there...and I would've came out ahead far far more than I would've taken a hit
