Just got in on XLM and ADA.

Still waiting for my other coins to come back to even. Once that happens, I'll move more into other ones. Already have a **** ton of VEN.

Well, the tech is ok, basically a fork of Ripple. I do like the owner or Stellar better. (They had a falling out I hear.)

But why would you go towards CENTRALIZED blockchains? That sort of defeats the purpose. I do think it is nice tech, but I would only put a little in it as a hedge. You know you are talking about blockchains that the banks will use, right?

Now, just to make money, yeah, you might be right. But if they want to start selling, what stops them? (I don't know, I'm honestly asking? What is in place to protect investors?)

Look at their supply vs. current float. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/
17% of the supply is out (roughly 18 billion), the rest (83%) is controlled by "The Foundation". That is a really dangerous figure.

Again, I like the tech, but they are sort of a centralized entity in a decentralized space.

Yessir. Only put a little amount in (little over 10% in each), but will be putting in more once the other coins I have go up. DBC is going on Korean exchanges this weekend so I'm hoping for a nice push there (even if it is just to break even) and Dash has been all over the place for me. -? Most of my funds are tied up in VEN simply because that's the one I know most about and therefore am most optimistic about. But, yeah, definitely going to add more in XLM and ADA hopefully sooner rather than later.

Does anyone know how long shares/money stay "in order" on Binance when you sell them? Should I cancel my sell if it's still in the "in order" section of Binance after a few hours? If so, how do you get them out lol

Every time I sold it was always instant when selling something I owned on binance. Could be traffic. Did you sell it on the exchange part right?

Can you cancel an order? I read up on how it gets stuck sometimes. I sold on exchange, yeah.

not sure if you can cancel. Me personally I would wait. Last week when I was sending ADA to my Daedalus wallet it took like 4-5 hours I was nervous but I just let the system work its way. Did not want to try to do any extra and **** around and lose my ****. When I sent some yesterday it was like 5mins.

If the order isnt filled, you should be able to cancel. Not sure exactly how binance works but it sounds like you have an open order which can be closed unless filled.

Joined that XLM group you sent me and spent my entire day in class reading about it. I'm all in. Just sold my ICN and joined the XLM mafia w a bunch of shares. That group is lit.

Good looking out.

Nah McAfee is a scam artist basically announcing pump and dumps. You can follow him but don't jump on anything he tweets late because you will have missed it.

Ok. I am not really going to be jumping into that many coins, but good looks on the info. How did you learn this. I was kinda surprised that his page was nothing but Cryptos damn near for the little bit I read. :lol: :lol:
