OT any of you investing in Cryptocurrencies?

[bigfnjoe96]

Invested a G. Took some nice loses yesterday. Sold and re-brought at lower prices. About $250-$300 in the hole, but it is what it is...

Kucoin is all backed up with Ether transfers. Tried to transfer $100.00 over to Binance last night for some more Tron. Still not there, and Tron is on fire right now

Ugghhhhh.

That's it for me. I'm hodling a little of

BTC, ETHER, LTC and Tron..

i mean there is a big difference between ripple and those shietcoins that wont give you any return.

Ripple is a top 3 marketcap entity that people buy into for a more stable asset - akin to ethereum and bitcoin

those garbage coins that people buy into are purely hail marys...low market cap with huge potential for growth.

basically ripple isnt there to catch lightning in a bottle at this point. and if it's not there to skyrocket, then the question becomes why invest in ripple when you can invest in something like ethereum or bitcoin?

life savings all in crypto is far from ideal, but it's doable. it's hard to imagine 50/50 bitcoin and ethereum falling to zero or something

not saying you cant make gains with ripple. i'm sure you can. just saying why a lot of people arent into it

I mean if your Honestly being objective and have done research on ripple. You know that way to MANY people are against it for philosophical reasons. What people say about Ripple growth, can be applied to so many coins that took off to places that no one was thinking they can reach.

People attack ripple across the net for philosophy more than anything to me. They want nothing to do with a "centralized" coin. Like the dude said in the video that was posted by him ...it goes against everything this space is supposed to be about. So when you make those statements its not about gains it about philosophy. Its the same reason people want XLM to win over XRP.

If people are not investing in ripple purely for ideological reasons, then I can agree with you that it doesnt make sense to ignore a potential money maker.

maybe i dont have the whole picture, but based on what Ive seen, many don't invest in ripple because of both the philosophy of ripple's system and the relative lack of explosive growth potential of ripple. That's the reason I don't invest in it too. If ripple's market cap ever shrinks back to pre-explosion levels I would invest in it to try to make a quick buck, but until then I'll stick with bitcoin, ethereum, and other altcoins.

I also agree that banks won't lose. To me banks are just another player with big guns in the crypto game. Because they are just another player, they dont need ripple to truly succeed imo. All they need to do is buy **** up and manipulate just like any other whale.

it's not about making sure that the banks lose or anything. it's about making sure I get mine, like rhodey stated.

the people who are going to lose out are the late/non-adopters with regards to the cryptocurrency market. the old system has been sucked dry and is saturated with tons of big dogs. those with relatively little amounts of capital, perhaps like you and I, face a grueling fight to make profits in the old system. that traditional financial system is overflowing and not too far away is the untouched oasis of cryptocurrency. Powerhouses from the old system will eventually make their way here with their overwhelming wealth and likely take control of this market too eventually. And they dont need ripple to do it since all they need is cash to shake down weak hands in the market. but for now there are still openings for the everyday person to seize this great opportunity.

basically this a volatile market where the loser will be anyone who panic sells. in that is precisely the reason it is so volatile - because there are so many average joes looking for get rich quick schemes that the market is flooded with easily exploitable investors with no conviction.

I got out for good as I just didn't feel good about what it stands for. I'm not meaning that it will not go up of course, but Ripple is sort of like a Big bank Crypto. It is not what anyone would call decentralized.

So, when we talk about Ripple, to me and many people, it is starting to get out of that vein of what this space was to stand for.

But I'm gonna stay true to my guns now with Satoshi's vision (to a point.)

That's all I need to quote. This mindstate reflects a whole schit load of people. So yes, you dont have the big picture, if you dont know this by now, by studying how many people feel about ripple all over the net. So to me its case closed on this point, cause you agreed to the point that was made by if that was purley the case by many. well...it is the case. all the other stuff you wrote to me was just extra. Some people get OUT for that...some people NEVER enter for that. That was my point that was made.

True but also some people don't get in because they feel that Ripple will fail in the long run.

Ok but I never argued AGAINST THAT. so what the point of saying that. My original statement never said this was a totality.If someone can find where I said that its was 100%, or argued against that/said that those reasons dont exist....you get a gold star. Lets stay on track here. Thats where problems happen when people assume what you saying vs what you actually said.

I shoulda bought BTC at 9.5 -_-

Yep the rebound has commenced.... But as Clyde would say "Other discounts are abound...hurry hurry! "

We out the woods? Can I quit my job now?

[robillionaire]

I didn't panic sell and bought small amounts on the dips but I'm not sure it's over yet
Could still go down again maybe test 8k

Yeah, was a noob move by me. Also some advice. Never make a decision after taking an Albuterol treatment.

I'm kind of rebounding some as Tron just hit .10 That's double in 48 hours..

Same here. picked up some additional XRB, DENT and REQ at the dip.
All three have rebounded pretty nicely over the last 24 hours.

Think I am done buying for a while (unless something I really believe in comes along at a nice price). Just gonna hodl and see what happens.

[IAmTheBest]

damn, looks like the dip is over.

goodbye discount coins

[IAmTheBest]

We're still sub 600-billion market cap, but not for much longer
all time high was 800 and change so you can still make a decent 30% or so on average return if we return to our ATH
"Weekend" trading in Asia starts tonight. I suspect we continue seeing some green until Chinese/Lunar New Year

I might just load up on some AION since it hasnt had a strong recovery (yet)

i feel u man. I was playing the dips last night and i was drinking and one round accidentally bought back at a 5 ICX loss. not even 50 bucks which is peanuts in my total portfolio but i was still pissed regardless. i just hate losing out like that lol

There will be other dips...believe that.

are there any as big as the mid january dips?

maybe the late june-early july dips?

There are the seasonal dips -( usually during major holidays ) and unpredictable dips (market manipulation, bad news etc) . Last June - July the market was still bullish from what I can recall. Right after, In August (or sept) we had a nice dip because of bad news out of China.

i've been looking at REQ. noticed that you're looking to hold it.

Two fridays ago, REQ listed some news that pumped it to an all time high of 7200 satoshis.

right now REQ is at like 5600 sats. since we know how high it can go i think it's good for a short-term, swing trade.

tomorrow might be some more news (monitor their telegram). I'm not an expert, but if i had any REQ after buying the dips like you've been doing, I'd sell if any price action happens.

but secure your profits as you see fit.

Sold before the crash (on a gain, yay, besides the little I had in Binance which I couldn't transfer out) and bought back in during but with less invested.

nice

Did you predict the crash or was it just good timing?

Few things
- dogecoin was a tell for me. A meme coin with no purpose rose to a 2 billion dollar market cap? Fishy.
- didn't think the surging was sustainable. ETH getting to 1400 was what made me think that it was time to sell. Rose WAY too quickly.
- figured a crash was coming with all of the news out of China and SK.
- wanted to cash out before there was a crash because of the initial gain I had.
- gut feeling that something was off. This one was literally based on nothing besides my gut, but it ended up serving me well.
- I either read or watched on youtube from one of the guys I follow (?) that there was likely going to be, at least, a mini dip/correction, what have you.


My selling was why I stopped posting in here. Was still following, but had little to offer so just stayed on the sidelines.

This time around, I'm staying out of DENT (as of now, at least).
