Just threw another $500 down on BAT. Will be at at least $1.50 by end of week. It got briefly mentioned on CNBC today...once it starts getting covered by the media, it will be huge. Potentially a top 10 coin.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/basic-attention-token


Looking pretty good with that prediction while you're sitting on a loss. No different than your typical penny stocker pumper, except you're not even shrewd or significant enough to be on the inside of the pump. Good luck with your tiny trades.

Why so much anger? Like really, not sure what the feud is here. Do you not like BAT?

I could write an essay about why these things generally are not good (and in fact, very poor) investment vehicles compared to many alternatives. And there is no "anger" or "feud." I just think people need to be aware not to listen to people like this offering advice and pumping speculative, risky and frankly bad investments.

Like here. "It will be $1.50 by the end of the week!" when he is sitting on a loss of a big chunk of his $500 when he invested it on just Wednesday.

Maybe I wouldn't feel the need to point out facts like this if he didn't make baseless predictions and try to pass himself as some sort of expert.

For high risk, high reward investments - which I assume you are referencing - things like options and biotech stocks that are subject to highly impactful and binary events that will drive huge moves in prices. It actually requires you to read and understand what you're doing, but will be highly liquid, can be hedged, can be closed easily and quickly, have much lower transaction costs and can be tax preferred.

Instead of this stuff where none of that exists and people like TC just gamble betting and hoping on a wing and a prayer without any real basis that it will go up, while committing nominal amounts of capital that aren't even worth the time.

Looks like /biz/ boy can't get his own identity. How sad.

You sound upset, but throwing insults at me doesn't change Ripple's flawed business fundamentals.

I've literally never heard of BBVA. Some shitty bank headquartered in Spain it seems.

Meanwhile Moneygram, a larger company - specializing in money transfers is testing Ripple now.

Got to love the unprofessional from the supposed BBVA employee, and how you blindly follow what this seething man says.

You realize that banks don't have to buy ripple to use their blockchain, right? It is literally useless. The CEO of ripple is currently the richest man in the world on paper because of how much he owns. It is clearly an overbought bubble. During the Tokyo real estate bubble, the royal palace was valued at more than the state of California. Things that don't make sense eventually collapse.

lol you are just jealous that people are making a shit-ton of money off this stuff. So what if a crypto is down 10% in a few days? BAT has doubled since last month. Your criticism is literally meaningless given the volatility in this space.

Cilantro alt, rolling with his huge $500 investment that is no longer worth $500 while seeing his idiotic prediction blow up in his face. If there is anything you are doing, it's not making money. You're just arguing which turd looks better in a crap beauty contest. You have no money, you're making no money, and if you want to ever accumulate some real capital, you're doing it very wrong. I pity you.

And boy, you know someone is pathetic when they go the distance with posting stupid images. I am truly sorry that you feel so insulted and I have upset you so much. I sincerely apologize.

Same here, I bought in at 0.20 and sold around $3.10.

I'm thinking of jumping on the ether wave right now. I have the free time to day trade and with how volatile it is right now one could make probably $600-1000 a day if they're lucky and the servers stay up.

I find that I'm more of a wave riding day trader, that interests me more than holding stuff and hoping the population will become cognizant of a good technology and begin to value it.

I might buy back a little bit to hold once the markets bottom but for now I'm gonna run off with what I made. It was a great couple of months.

Yeah... I haven't been taking any advice from this thread. Buying coins that are derivatives of more popular tech with no enhancements doesn't sound like a good idea at all.

I'm all about replacing our fiats but I still think that I at a minimum ten years and lots of growing pains down the road, so for now I am content to throw in $6000 and pull out when it grows 15% on some random rush.

I'm doing comparatively well for my age but I'm still not going to scoff at making ~$1000 every couple days with practically no effort. It looks like the wave is over though, at least for now.

To me, the bolded part is the most important sentence in your post. That has been my entire point all along in my comments. If you guys want to gamble - and that's all this is - go ahead. You might make a little money or you might lose quite a bit of your initial investment.

But people should not be thinking that they will get rich trading in this garbage, that they're some type of genius investor for doing it or encourage other people to join the mania.

And for that, numerous people in this thread that look pretty stupid now jumped all over me.

Like TC, who may have gotten someone else to buy "BAT" based on the claim that it "would be at least $1.50" by now, while it is trading for way less than he bought it for and less than 1/3 of his predicted price target. And he still won't admit that he was wrong.

It's one thing to waste your own money. It's another to try to persuade others to do it.

Sadly, some of you might be able to learn how to invest and make real money if you took the time, but I think the appeal of get rich quick schemes is far too strong. That's why there are so many retail investor suckers getting burned on this stuff, which is a huge signal to get out of it.

Fiat replacement is a joke and a pipe dream. The only cryptos that will survive are those with a tangible use beyond just being digital gold. There is a reason ETH is through the roof and BTC is slowly bleeding to death.

I'm sorry that you are so angry. But I suppose I would be angry too if I lost such a huge percentage of an investment in such a short period of time and left evidence of such an abysmal and catastrophically terrible price prediction that blew up in my face.

Of course, I wouldn't get mad at someone that warned me and pointed it out because that would just be blaming the messenger. But you, you're a special case.

How about another one of your fine gifs or links to a picture, buddy. I think that would make you feel better.

To me, the bolded part is the most important sentence in your post. That has been my entire point all along in my comments. If you guys want to gamble - and that's all this is - go ahead. You might make a little money or you might lose quite a bit of your initial investment.

But people should not be thinking that they will get rich trading in this garbage, that they're some type of genius investor for doing it or encourage other people to join the mania.

And for that, numerous people in this thread that look pretty stupid now jumped all over me.

Like TC, who may have gotten someone else to buy "BAT" based on the claim that it "would be at least $1.50" by now, while it is trading for way less than he bought it for and less than 1/3 of his predicted price target. And he still won't admit that he was wrong.

It's one thing to waste your own money. It's another to try to persuade others to do it.

Sadly, some of you might be able to learn how to invest and make real money if you took the time, but I think the appeal of get rich quick schemes is far too strong. That's why there are so many retail investor suckers getting burned on this stuff, which is a huge signal to get out of it.


My "investment strategy" with this stuff over the last three years was to throw $100 at it every couple months for a thrill of seeing one go up 200%, I considered it money already lost, as one should when gambling on a game where the result is random.

You're definitely right though, I didn't realize how many people in forums that I considered to be full of more savvy people would fall victim to the get rich quick mentality that is in crypto. Reddit isn't so bad, it seems to be a bunch of older guys gambling with what they have to throw away, not kids selling their xboxs hoping to get rich like some places.

This article sums up Billy Butthurts angst. Even with this drop, I am still up 20% in a month thanks to my ETH gains. Obviously not rich, but nice spending money. You could never get that type of return through traditional asset classes.

My god, you really didn't see the subtle irony and sarcasm embedded throughout that article, did you.

You really are a lost cause.

TO EVERYONE ELSE: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY AND MAKE YOUR OWN INDEPEDENT DECISIONS.

Example of his ignorance on full display:

"Even with this drop, I am still up 20% in a month thanks to my ETH gains. Obviously not rich, but nice spending money. You could never get that type of return through traditional asset classes."

Bought June 2018 put options for GE at .40 and sold within two weeks at over .90. Better return in shorter period with a pretty "traditional asset class."

I have no problem with that. As long as you treat it like playing a slot machine, and risk money you can afford to lose and find entertainment in the activity, that's great.

That doesn't seem to be TC though, who is truly convinced he knows everything about this stuff and is an investing savant poised to make millions on it. So much so that he is dispensing poor advice while encouraging others to go along with him, including a guy that indicated he lives paycheck to paycheck. Dreadful and irresponsible.

And also, I threw down another $1500 on BAT. All these noobs panic selling. I am happy to buy their cheap coins.
Currently sitting at $5500 in ETH and $2000 in BAT.


I pull out every 5% fluctuation, the transaction fees at cb are only $5 so it makes it a great day trading platform.

lol you are so mad. Crypto had an even bigger drop last month, then hit all-time highs. You clearly dont follow this market, but please keep posting here. Watching you shit down both legs is hilarious.


Ripple went down 75% and stellar took a 60% hit. Was the Bitcoin crash really worse than that? As far as I can tell the btc crash maxed at around 50%.

Fiat replacement is a joke and a pipe dream. The only cryptos that will survive are those with a tangible use beyond just being digital gold. There is a reason ETH is through the roof and BTC is slowly bleeding to death.


Don't misunderstand, I'm praying to jeebus that it never happens. I'd love to keep supplementing my income and rira with $10,000-25,000 every month. I'm about to buy a condo in Vegas I've always wanted guilt-free with their crazy hoas due to the volatile crypto market.

Same here. Even though alt coins took a dive I put my profit from November into ether and rode that wave from $700 to $1300 to make a pretty fat stack on a simple news article from a random blogger.

Still:

Well it is common knowledge as it has been on feeds all over the world. If you read the thread you will see at least myself saying that I pulled out of ripple at a little over $3, and anyone with a bit of cursory research would know that if you're talking about xrp then you're talking about Seoul.

To reply to your statement, yes, we have already talked about South Korea but only implicitly via ripple as people who are not highly entrenched in South Korea's legal system would have any knowledge of what is happening outside of blogs full of guesswork.

You seem to be one of those dudes who is eager to prove he is more intelligent than others yet can't see the forest for the trees.

MacrossSpecial is the only person in this thread that shows he understands what he's doing by knowing it's a pure gamble and not buying high and selling low and periodically locking gains under an established plan.

Cilantro buddy - amateur investor, professional dope - this one's for you. To the tune of Like a Rolling Stone by the great Bob Dylan:

Once upon a time Cilantro felt so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime from crypto, didn't you?
People call say 'beware Cilantro, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that in the market that got out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be bent over and taking the bone
Like a complete unknown, with all that crypto you own

What is the deal up there? I can't really find anything other than taxes on each transaction, which is meh since we (USA) get taxed on them all at the end of the year anyway.

The funny thing about the taxes here is that if you hold for less than a year you get hit for your normal income tax rate but more than a year you pay 15% if you are in the 25% bracket or higher. People already have offshore shelters set up for their profits.
