It is. Funny thing last night was the first time I ever thought about saying f it, I’m up still, sell and get into the game later.

Then before I did I said what would disappoint me more, losing a chunk of money if this thing completely crashes, or selling during a down period, some coins at a loss, and then it goes to the moon.

We’re on a gambling thread, so you know what I did. Not sure we’re completely out of the woods but damn this day at least feels good to see a different color on the screen and for morale purposes.

Let’s see how greedy Asia reacts lol

Going to be up 40-50% in the next 10 days.

The NY Times and WSJ love posting negative stories on crypto, don't they?? They're on a mission.

penetrating Wall Street caused this BS with their futures and then bought in with their nice new bonuses

**TPowell** · 01-17-18, 07:15 PM

Glad I got some under 10K BTC though

It wouldn't surprise me, we're all just fish in a barrel to them. They have refined algo's developed by computer science and math phd's. Given how much money is involved I would be almost disappointed if they weren't manipulating this nearly trillion dollar market

About a +10% paper-return, if u did.

Nope I bought in just under 12 and when it hit 10 I just said penetrate it. Tired of firing bullets

I'd take the 10% gain and wait on the sidelines again.

Meantime, trying to find that exact quote by Charlie Lee of Litecoin, when he sold-off and said something like 'see Litecoin going towards a bearish-trend down to $20"....I'm butchering the quote probably, does anyone know where to find exactly what he said or can post it here? I'm not on twitter.

It was on his twitter. He never said it’s going to 20. He just told people be careful, do not invest in Ltc unless you’re prepared for it to go down to 20

I already sold 10% of it

I will set a few more sell points and sell up to half of what I bought, The other half I'll likely hold on to. I really believe coins like eth/neo/ada are going to be the future of this

Ether certainly where things have moved to. But that can change, and probably will.

I agree but a good deal of those coins/tokens are shit

Yep, I mean BitCoin literally almost hit double that a month ago so it should only be a matter of time. I think I'm going to invest in some altcoins as well though.

Big picture.

headfake. I'll go on record right here saying the whole crypto market is not done going down in the short-term.

And I'll agree with what Dom just posted, big picture. So when I say "short-term" well yeah its all relative.

How many days in a row (or nearly consecutive) were all the coins skyrocketing? Could elaborate some other points, maybe its just one man's opinion. I bought BTC years ago, so its not like I'm a naysayer. Just the prices are irrational...I do understand the points about lots of the population still has never bought crypto, and all that. OK for now I say prices will be down for longer....I actually hope it would stabilize at some point.

Now if you are a careful trader, there should be profits to be made. Carefully.

Meh, this is starting to add up. You can wait if you'd like but prices aren't going to get a ton better. I may buy some alts right now just because bitcoin probably does drop to 8K before it moons again but when it does, I expect to see 30K+

**ans61201** · 01-17-18, 08:49 PM

My question is when do the coins stop moving pretty much in unison. I guess btc tanking just takes the entire market with it but it would be nice to not have 99% of the coins in red at same time besides random bs dental coin

**hotcross** · 01-17-18, 08:55 PM

they are all tied / "paired" to bitcoin or ether....right?

we see those special cases when one or two or a handful of coins rise on their own, for awhile.

soon there will be some exchanges where fiat can be used to buy altcoins directly. That will change the pairing paradigm.

**Shafted69** · 01-17-18, 08:59 PM

What happens when the coins drop to zero and we have another Great Depression?

I think you are right but I really don't like the actual coin. Regardless I got in for a little around the 9 cent mark earlier

same here. I don't like the coin. Programmers are leaving Alibaba for TRON. They may be on loan. There are a lot of new announcements that are coming out soon.

NEBL is another good buy.

I like OST quite a bit myself. If I can make 40-50% off TRX at some point in the next month I'll take it and run like crazy

.02 gang..... if I didn't take such a big position in zrx earlier today, I probably would have taken this advice.. saw trx floating around .059 earlier today for the most part while at work.

**TPowell** · 01-17-18, 11:06 PM

If BTC can stabilize close to 12K through the night, I think we'll get a lot of FOMO money before the weekend.

**Chi_archie** · 01-17-18, 11:11 PM

why don't they sell TRX at bittrex?
