No Jimmy G for doubling down? Trade for him with only a few games of experience, has serious arm talent and great acuracy but risky cause you know you have to pay him at the end of the season.

And you had to go Alex Smith! Damn you. That dude hodled my ex.


I think Jimmy is safe. :lol: After what he did with the 9ers to end the season, I was convinced.

I can change from Smith. Seriously though?


Jimmy is safe now for sure.

Dude. 100%. But, he also ran through like 1 or 2 of her friends that night.


Whoa. Well, I'm sorry to hear about that...but, that also props you up a bit too right? :lol:

I've got no stories like that. :-?

I think BTC may have a tough time breaking below 5000-5500. Im hoping for consolidation at those prices before it starts to ascend again. if it does break that im looking at 2500-3000.

The great thing is a lot of alt coins are heavily discounted and you can see the previous price of a lot of them. You already have an idea of where certain coins are going when BTC finally starts to rise again. Take advantage and buy while cheap. You can beat more shares for less money.

This is a fantastic time to actually do research on coins you think are gamechangers.

Me, myself bought entered crypto when BTC price at ATH, my 5% house deposit has essentially gone down by 85% but not discouraged in fact just put in some mo money :D :D But I know it could take possibly 1-2 years to rebound though (hopefully much sooner, like weeks/ months).

Seems like good news from US government (47:00)?

There are a lot of ways. The most lucrative is obviously cashing out before or during the beginning of the dip, and cashing back in towards to bottom.

Another, easier way is move everything from alts to bitcoin before or during the beginning of the dip, or even at the peak of a bounce. Everytime BTC breaks a support buy bleeding alts, sell same bleeding alts for 10%-20% satoshi profit on the BTC bounce. Repeat as many times as you want until clear indication of bull trend.

You use 10% of your portfolio to open a short on a small leverage and leave it as a hedge.

using these methods you actually come out ahead during bear market as long as you dont get slow and careless

This is why I said if you want to speculate in crypto you better be prepared to lose all your money. On the flip side buy $100 worth of every coin worth less than 15 cents and you'll probably make back the money you lost.

God damn how naive some of you are :lol:
This cryptocurrency bull**** is one of the most obvious ponzi schemes ever created and some of you still believe in it.

Smash what I put my money in is a 2-4 year hold for me. With hope of the tech fully disrupting industries. I didn’t get in at ATH’s. Bought at the dip, still my portfolio is in the red but the long game is what I’m playing. Adding to my positions tonight as well.

Yeah that makes sense, my post was just aimed at those who spent more than they were willing to lose and wanted to cash out as soon as possible. If you're willing to ride this out like you are I think you'll be fine (could be a nice payday down the line) it might just take a long time for BTC to recover.

Market manipulation my friend. I’m sure you’ve seen it before, you’ve been around for awhile. Nothing new. Make sure to come back and check in later on in ‘18, ya hear?

Yes, I have. But I've always avoided the markets. I've done enough gambling in other parts of my life. :lol:

But it'll be interesting to see how this goes. Good luck to you guys.
