crypto currency discussion

[slambam]

Tron is up to $0.135 right now. This has been an incredible day. An unreal day. Crypto coins are on fire and the stock market not too far behind. I've got several options (go check the stock thread here at SBR) that don't expire for another month that are waaaay in the money. I've made more money (on paper) today than most people will make all year. I shit you not.

You sticking in the altcoins all the way through? I have a couple buddies thinking about moving to LTC or ETH for a day or two, because there just has to be a market correction coming.

Fukking gdax so slow. Shoulda did ltc but did ether instead, trying to get it on binance to buy more trx and ada. Also wanna get in on neo. Not even a tx id yet...also been waiting 8 hrs on an xem deposit from hitbtc to poloniex...trying to pull everything off hitbtc except for coins I can't get on other exchanges...they never gave us our b2x from the last fork and won't respond to messages so fukk them

[shocka1212]

I'm close to that number...

Should have been much more.

I think in addition to announcing more members from alibaba to the team today, they also announced they're opening an office in the Silicon Valley

Keep your TRX even if it drops some.

TRX on a roll.

I followed a few #XVG fanboys on twitter. It's pure comedy how they defend Verge to their deaths. Verge is the definition of sh1tcoin.

Verge charts all point to a HUGE breakout soon. I really think privacy coins are going to be the big thing in 2018. Verge's wraith protocol support is right around the corner for all platforms, its going to be a great year for Verge. Do not sell... HODL. Add as much as you can, whenever you can.

We need a slack or telegram crypto chat group. Trying to read a forum on my phone is a nightmare lol

ya some creeper on reddit found paperwork for a space signed by Justin Sun himself in some technology park or something

[pilebuck13]

So suggestions for adding some more I’m open trx? ada? What you guys think?

[dlowilly]

All my wallets are under maintenance at Bittrex lol

And binance is upgrading

[coanwe]

Should we be weary of the binance upgrade? Shouldn't that suck if it just never came back?

Would not be good

Weird timing considering it's 11:30 AM in Shanghai

[Mac4Lyfe]

Good job max love to hear guys being successful in whatever they do! What you boys think is still worthy of dumping more into...I’m wanting to buy more ada and trx

I bought more Trx earlier today. I also added positions in RDD and CVC today. I'm looking to add more ADA very soon. My dilemma is, should I cash out a bunch of stocks and buy more crypto? The stock market has been on fire as well. Not these crazy percentages but steady companies that are printing money right now. I hate to sell great companies, especially into speculation like crypto. I've got several stocks that I have to take profits in the next 2 months. I'm debating throwing it all in crypto.

You sticking in the altcoins all the way through? I have a couple buddies thinking about moving to LTC or ETH for a day or two, because there just has to be a market correction coming.

There's always a market correction. There is no market if there's no correction. You want coins to go down. That drives momentum. Coins going up all the time will not create a rally. You need resistance levels that new people feel comfortable to enter in at. I really don't care about ebbs and flows. I dollar cost average on good stocks and good coins.

I bought ETH when it was $7. I also bought ETH at $800. It's all relative. I bought LTC when it was $2.50. I didn't buy damn near enough but I kept adding as I could. I bought ripple at $0.20, I kept saying it was going up but now that it has, I'm kicking myself that I didn't bet the farm. 2nd guessing is human nature.

I don't worry about "woulda, shoulda". I just do what I can with what I got right now. We're all going to make mistakes along the way (like me losing $7k Live betting fukking TAM/Wake game), then going to the casino, going up $1,800 only to give it back and dump another $2k when I could have put it on Tron, ADA or XRP. Today makes up for that losing day. Some days will be great, some days are going to be awful. We can't worry about the ups and downs, just try to invest what you can, when you can. I believe in crypto. I think we're at the ground floor of a revolution. There's always bumps and bruises at the ground floor BUT there will be huge rewards as well.

I have a bunch of BTC in cold storage. My original plan was to accumulate enough alt-coins then put them away as well. I've yet to do that. I have a SHIT load of coins/money at Binance, Bitstamp, Bittrex and Poloniex. If any of them got hacked/disappeared I would take a big L. Binance scares me more than any other exchange. Common sense tells me to keep small amounts at each but I'm not following my own head.

How are you going to put away these alt coins?

[ans61201]

Definitely has to be a correction coming to the days we just had but these things are so hard to predict I’ll just leave it alone and add more on the dips to the ones I really like

Top 4 Reasons Why Ripple is Exploding UP!#MarchTo100

Keep in mind, this all speculation as to why Ripple is climbing upward.

1. A video was "leaked" which shows a beta Coinbase page where it shows Ripple as one of the available cryptocurrencies you can choose from.

   Note: This is the Internet and anything can be faked.
   
2. Miguel Vias - Head of XRP Markets at Ripple.
   Many seemed to take this as a "signal" that they are working with Coinbase. This only seems to highlight the "leaked" video as potentially true.

3. AMX announces their partnership with Ripple.

Ripple Price Increase

These bits of speculative news has driven the price of Ripple to soar from .20 a few weeks ago to $3.11 (as of writing this). It has far surpassed Ethereum in the #2 spot and at this rate, it could take the #1 spot if the rumors are true of Coinbase.
These rumors are causing a frenzy of people rushing to buy Ripple before there is the expected announcement on the 20th of this month.

same...aside from a few coins that are pending news and/or just trading sideways, everything is sky high...I'll be looking for some sale prices over the next few days

[baseballstud]

Anybody have an educated guess on ripples “top” potential value. I typically hate to buy so high but thinking it has a few more dollars to go

[ans61201]

Btc, eth, Ada, neo, Ltc, RDD, xrp, trx, bcc, (adding xlm-possibly FUNN) just dumped xvg before New Years.

Anything major missing? Or just add onto those positions. Have my last large chunk of free cash to add, looking for one more coin or waiting for dips to pound ones I have.

[Mac4Lyfe]

How are you going to put away these alt coins?

They all have ways of storing offline. You can create a cheap paper wallet but it's past time for me to get a hardware wallet. Once you start storing multiple coins, it becomes a pain keeping up, so the hardware wallet makes it easy and it backs everything up.

Ledger Nano S or Trezor is the real way to store multiple coins. Their prices keep going up and are selling out a lot on Amazon.

There’s so many unknowns. There isn’t much precedent for coins with 10s of billions in circulation to go over $10, is a common thing I hear, but we also have such a small sample size of possibilities, and it’s such a quickly growing market it’s hard to tell really what’s possible. Who knows what the crypto market cap could become, it’s so small in the scheme of things and it’s world wide.

I thought xrp was going to top out 10-12 but I asldo didn’t see it being 3-5 before any potential arrangement with coinbase so it still has room, probably a correction coming. I got burnt last night thinking last night would be the dip, it gained about 40 cents by time I woke up and then just kept climbing so I finally added a little more. Bought in at .25 cents originally but sold half my position at 1 dollar and have been making bad decisions with it since, just adding and leaving it the hell alone

Does Ledger or Trezor store TRX or ADA though?

I'm officially uncomfortable with this Binance upgrade thingy

I see NO WAY that ripple can get to BTC levels. Too many XRPs in supply. I see it going to $5/6 when it hits CB but I don't see it going more than $10. I just don't see it but then again, I did not see BTC hitting $20k in 2017 either. I'm hearing that ripple may surpass BTC once it hits CB, so who knows. I think you have to have some just in case. Just like most of these coins, you almost have to take a flier, just in case. A rising tide lifts all boats. I think most all these cryptos are going to rise by default.

[ans61201]

Cut iota right before I dumped xvg. Didn’t wanna be spread too thin at the time but thinking of adding some to be safe

[deary626]

Hope it’s up soon

Hopefully you didn’t take my comment as the price of xrp because I was talking market cap. Lol. Not one of these xrp lunatics. However even if temporarily, I would pretty much wager anything that if xrp gets added to coinbase even if it’s only for a short time I would wager 100% it’ll pass btc in market cap. Now people may just take their quick 2x-3x and flip it into btc like I plan to do it may be short lived but I’m certain if that partnership happens xrp will have #1 Market cap at least once

[pilebuck13]

Agree with Mac having holdings in many of these up and coming coins is not a bad idea..one making it really big and you’ll be money ahead regardless of the rest. That’s the way I look at it.

[ans61201]

Question for the likes of shocka, MAC etc


There’s so many coins being created, and so much money being made off of pumping up 2 cent coins etc. (obviously the technology matters for success long term)

One of the things I’m worried about with these long term holds is having all of my free $ tied up in long term holds, and coins continually being added to the market and the money goes there from the whales because it’s an easier flip for them to manipulate.

Reason I think this matters is because I’d say 2/3 of the people dropping money on these in 2018 doesn’t even know what the coin does they just wanna see something cheap that can make them a “bitcoin millionaire”

In short, you guys worried about all of these new coins continually getting put out each week, or think the cream will continue to rise to the top and have further support for the ones who have actual use

[dlowilly]

Ok I'll go ahead and address the elephant in the room and ask what everyone seems to be afraid to ask...











WTH does "Wow, monster eats the image" mean?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Does Ledger or Trezor store TRX or ADA though?

Nope, neither store TRX or ADA. Best option is myetherwallet (MEW). You can add custom tokens for ADA and TRX then send your TRX or ADA to your MEW address to store.
