I think only California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana and New Hampshire are available for the Feb rollout of Robinhood

Robinhood doesn't actually give you your coins so I'm not touching it

None, aint that easy. 50-100-500x is luck and generally unpredictable events fuel those types of things

nothing

from what I understand you can't transfer your own coins to the platform or the ones you buy off their platform, and you can't put them in a wallet. it's basically like buying "shares" of the coins without giving you the coins

someone correct me if I'm wrong but that was my interpretation

That sucks. From what I am reading right now does not sound like it operates like Coinbase. Seems like they are third party to other exchanges which is weird.

thats more or less how they handle stocks. not sure if it will be the same with crypto. the rollout is much more limited than the press is suggesting. robinhood wont beat you on your money though. havent done much research on it since its not available in NY but if I know RH it will be dollar for coin, coin for dollar. no sending , no receiving. Robinhood getting involved could be huge, could be irrelevant but it for sure wont be negative.

I mean don't get me wrong, I think it'll be overall positive impact on the market and people will definitely buy on the platform, but me personally I feel much more comfortable in possession of my own coins. Worth the fee to me

We are getting close to BTC deciding on which way to break out. We have had support at 10k or so. Downside here seems like 8k ish. This move up, once we get past 12k is going to be explosive. This next week or two are going to show all. Grab your popcorn.

agreed. a day or two more of this and then it's decision time

if we have a 2 hour close above 10,650 i think BTC is going to take off

2 hour close below 10,300 i think we are in for a long ass bear market

if i had to bet it'd say we going up

that's my take

a couple of things to note
- even with the FUD of CME futures expiring on the 26th, btc handily stayed above 10k
- market can be heavily distorted from the tether printing

Okay guys, please post your top 5 tokens that will do most Xs (500 X, 100X, 50 X etc) in 2018 :)


some small-med cap sleepers imo:

AION
Mobius
High Performance Blockchain
Ambrosus
ALQO
Dragonchain
DENT (although this one is pretty hyped)
Power Ledger

WANchain is coming out soon and I think that has a chance to moon
Restart Energy can be pretty good

Some rock solid higher cap coins that could at minimum 10x imo

ICX
VEN
NEO
WTC
XRM
OMG

one important thing to remember is that value also grows as the market grows, so you're not just betting on the coin.

so if the market cap triples, you multiply any gains by 3x assuming that market cap share more more or less the same

Bitcoin is definitely befoming more mainstream in the last few weeks. IT is being accepted as currency more and more in Real Estate. Not only in metropolitan areas like NYC, LA, Miami. This guy is trying to sell a mansion in Delaware and accept Bitcoin.

This one does make me laugh though. As a U of Delaware graduate I can assure you that no international buyers are looking to buy a mansion in Newark DE. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sold DRGN a few weeks ago either at a slight loss or at a neutral point, I forgot. Saw some people on Twitter saying it could be going up again, but I'm staying out. Not a fan of the graph.

DENT was one of my first purchases, but I'm out of it too. Love the tech, working product, and so much about it...but something seems off. It just cant pop off like it should. Maybe a longer term hold? Would think the opposite considering all the moves they've been making, though.

50 Cent was taking BTC as payment for his CD in 2014. :lol: The amount he got back then is now worth ~8 million I read? :o

Cool, it seemed legit as the cause of why it was made was because of what Stellar does with the donations of the coin. I was on the bubble earlier but figured I give a shot since I had to read it a couple of times and do research to really get it. So its cool hearing it from someone else. The Stellar community is prob the most unique crypto community. Works perfectly cause I am getting a ledger to.

So this means I am a Lumenaut! lol
