Tell me more!

Just think its undervalued at the 11th spot market cap wise. Its got its own platform. Its working with the Chinese govt, when China's market opens back up for crypto they are going to take a nice chunk. As always, DYOR and dont take financial advice from strangers on the internet.

Yep I think it's easily got ethereum potential and it's 1/9 of the price.

I love NEO, very very nice tech. This guy has probably looked into NEO more than anyone I follow. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHop-jpf-huVT1IYw79ymPw/videos
The Chinese Govt. seems to be giving NEO the lead over Quantum (another Chinese coin.) The people there love their homegrown stuff. As do the S. Koreans. Nice thing about NEO, is that you can stake just by holding the coin, computer doesn't even have to be on. I think it is around 5%-10% a year.

And if you think NEO is undervalued at almost $100 (and it is), wait till you get a load of the ICON at $7+. (which is sort of like S. Korea's NEO) But ICON is going to bridge many blockchains together, using their Loopchain tech. Imagine the medical system have a blockchain and interacting with another institutions block chain (or variations there of.) Their main net is coming out near the end of this month. IT is NOT yet available on S. Korean exchanges, but the parent company owns one of the largest, so it definitely will be more available to the S. Koreans this month. (They can buy on Binance in China though.)
Tyler from the link above LOVES ICON as well.

I am LOL'ing here as I waited for the day to see people taking crypto seriously and it being mentioned on boards. When many of your friends and grandparents start giving suggestions, might be time to cash some out.

To anyone thinking of buying crypto. Whatever you do, do not lose or forget your private security key or your entire investment is gone.

I was pm’d about ICON and I think it is the next NEO for all intensive purposes, so I’d like to share what I have. I have studied and lived this space since early 2013, so take that for what it is worth.

For any of you wanting more information about ICON, here is a start:
Follow that youtube channel previously mentioned - yeah he drinks beer every episode (lol), but he also travels to conferences and speaks with people close to the team. He does his DD for sure. (Also, just do youtube searchers on it, MANY people are wise to it now, no longer a secret.)

Keep up on ICON’s Reddit, this is the main one. https://www.reddit.com/r/icon/ You can ask questions there and often get good responses.

Nice article here: https://thebitcoin.pub/t/icon-icx-roundup-important-facts/17644

Very nice info here: http://spec-rationality.com/icon/

This is how their delegation system works - http://icon.support/icon-dpos-delegated-proof-of-stack-incentive-explained/

I do expect this “platform” to hit $50 to $100 this year. The owner of ICON also owns the number 2 largest S. Korean exchange, Coinone. The main net goes live on the 24th of this month, and will be trading on Coinone around then.

Watch on YouTube

I'm probably gonna take a soft swing on Verge. Trading super low and has some promise, so I'm taking a gamble. Xtrabytes has my attention too.

ICON had some real hype thrown my way from some heads that tipped me on Ripple when it was just over 20 cents a pop. I didn't do any research yet though, so many thanks for the links and info fam!

Not sure how great his books are, but he is THE GODFATHER of communicating what Bitcoin is.
https://www.amazon.com/Andreas-M.-Antonopoulos/e/B00MVAG8Z8/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1

His Youtube Channel. He is like the Terrence McKenna of crypto (for you older folks). Super intelligent guy with a rare ability to communicate the complex.

So, since Bitcoin is so expensive, what do you think of investing in a few other cryptos? Like Ripple, etc.

Or you could invest in the stock market. Buy an ETF that mirrors the entire market like VTI.

It's all gambling. The stock market is gambling. This is no different.

If you don't know what you're doing and just throwing darts at which equities to invest in, the stock market is gambling. However, if you have a plan of attack....if you are trading and able to read charts....and not investing...it's not gambling then.

It's all STILL gambling, even if there's skill to it. Just like poker, it's a skill game but it is gambling. Stocks, crypto, whatever - it's all gambling. You don't know what's going to happen.

bro wtf, you're my age and investing like that? how much coin you put in?

I started with 3k in stocks, 2k in different types of crypto, and the miner I got ran me 2.5k. Now I'm at 4.8k in stocks, 5k in crypto, and I haven't profited off the miner yet but by next April or May I would have.

And this is the age to invest. Don't have a family or health expenses yet so I need to get it now. Got a house, 401k with a match, and tons of investments. Make your money work for you its the easiest way to be a millionaire and retire early (even if I still gotta put in 30 years). 7 years from now when I'm 30 I won't have all this extra income to blow.

wise young man right here.

kind word of advice: be careful of who you disclose your holdings too. still love your post

Get a Binance account once they unlock account creation, buy POE (po.et) and TRX (Tron). Profit. My boy brought Tron last week at 3 cent and it was at 12 cent when he told me to buy in yesterday. Its at 20 cent now. Po.et was at 8 cent when I got in last month and now its at 16 cent.

Post #98 » by **j4remi** » Thu Jan 4, 2018 5:59 pm

Is there an IOS app for Binance? I've been using Cryptopia but I like the Binance layout better.

Isn't this all one big bubble? I really haven't studied it at all, but I've heard other people discussing it with that concern in mind.
