Currently, TRX is definitely priced at a good entry point

I have to go back and research more before I jump in, but any quick advice, links, coins to jump on would be much appreciated.

New to all of this also - guess i buy bitcoin/eth/litecoinn on coinbase and then get others on binance? or vice versa?


Nah? No love? smh :lol: :lol:

I'll get to reading through this thread again.

The only thing this thread is doing is making crypto seem more like a ponzi scheme than it already is.

Be very careful with this get rich quick crypto stuff. People are going to get hurt badly on this. When governments have had enough of it they're going to crush it like a bug. And that's besides what hackers and thieves will do to it. Invest in stocks, stock indexes and mutual funds. Put a little in every month and know that it's backed by real companies and not air.

This is a great opportunity to make money. I'm glad I got off the fence and took action.

Get rich quick or not... Good luck "crushing" decentralized international monetary systems. They really "crushed" BitTorrent in the same way.

Crypto currencies are here to stay, whether you, corporations, or the government like it or not. Deal with it.

DBC could go up in value. The alt market appears to have somewhat corrected itself (I'm back in the green *knock on wood*), and this could be an interesting thing to monitor. Eth is also holding steady.

HODL.


It’s going up. :D



I want a damn Binance account to get in on the ICX action, damnit.

Also, Ian Balina’s IG stories / posts make me very jealous.

I'm in on Kucoin right now. I own small amounts of Kucoin Shares, Dent and Red Pulse. As well as a humvee in Ether.

Next week I'm gonna invest about $500.00. I'm going 250 in Ether and I'm really thinking about 250 in BitC. I brought some LitC but sold it to buy more Ether.

So far I'm about even. I'm gonna HodL Ether because I think it's blow in 6 months.

I sold all my bitcoins when it hit 15 thousand. I'm not worried about a thing. People trying to get in now are the ones that are taking risk.

No risk in the stock market. Economy run by a certified genius. 2008 never happened. Buy at all time high, money is safe

You are confusing getting rich, with superior technology. One does not exclude the other. No argument from me regarding a bursting of this bubble. BUT, the strong will continue on and the crappy coins - those you better be careful of. (Everything is going up now).

Re inflation - Stocks split and inflate, like our current money system. Crypto is limited. People are fleeing into a store of value, on the one hand, and the crypto based platforms and tech on the other hand. Oh, wait until big money moves in. The current crypto market cap is like 3/4 of a trillion dollars. This will be multiple trillions later this year. This is so much bigger than most of us can imagine. The event horizon with this tech is just too short. It is a black swan event that happens very rarely. This is the internet on steroids, an internet of money and value transfer.

I think you are missing the obvious. Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin in 2009. That was around a year after the corruption induced financial crisis. He put a note regarding that into the first bitcoin block and imo, History was made. He said 'The Times 3 January 2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks'. You see, bitcoin is not the problem, it is the solution.

You want a bubble? How about this, we have a 200 Trillion dollar bond bubble. What is going to happen when they have to start raising rates? That is something we all need to worry about. Governments especially.

And even if they were to outlaw bitcoin (which makes absolutely no sense as it is a store of value, nothing illegal there.) the cat is out of the bag. You can't kill an idea. Bitcoin and Crypto win no matter how you slice it. People are sick and tired of war and corruption, Government money now has competition. So much for decree.

Saw this before on Reddit. I’m thinking this could be the start of more companies getting invested in Crypto. We’ve already seen collaborations, such as with DENT, so this is the next step?
